Cat among the pigeons

[Just a lil something set in the 1-year timeskip ]

There’s a cat crammed in a rat-cage.

Vex squints dangerously at the old halfling - Staffen, she thinks - presenting her with this catch. “What’s this?”

“Lady Vex’ahlia,” they say, and her irritation is immediately soothed by the title, “this cat has been slinking about the castle since its reclaiming. It has evaded capture - until now.”

“And you’re bringing her to me, because…”

Staffen adjusts the glasses on their nose one-handed - a touch difficult, with a growling feline spinning in the cage to spit at them. “As Grand Mistress of the Grey hunt” - Vex straightens further and does her best to maintain a small and not outrageous smile - “the beasts of the Patchwood and Whitestone are your domain. And, ah - this is most certainly a beast. She has killed several of the new messenger pigeons, even got into the henhouse.”

Vex motions for Staffen to put the cage on her desk - a scarred thing, repurposed from the surviving furniture in the castle. Being so new to the Chamber, she did not want to waste funds when perfectly good desks were available to her.

She then immediately shucks her jacket and throws it over the cage. The growling lowers to a mumble.

“Why the hells did you catch her?” she exclaims. It takes a deep breath to steel herself - thankfully, Staffen hardly looks perturbed, as though they expect overreaction from nobility. “She survived the Briarwoods and now, what - you want to kick her out? Who knows how many mice would run the place if not for her. And those would be far worse for the stores.”

They rub at their bald head. “I must note that, as you astutely said, the creature was likely present during the reign of those monsters.” Now their mouth curls into a pained snarl - all too common a reaction to the usurpers. It’s either exhausted relief that it’s done or vicious hurt and anger it happened at all. “How could any good, gods-fearing animal survive-”

“We’re animals too, darling,” Vex says. She fishes for some jerky in her desk - only Trinket’s good manners keep him out. “If Cassandra made it through those dark years alive, I don’t doubt this dear could, too.”

Without lifting the shroud of darkness, Vex slides an open palm of dried meat to where the feline protests are coming from.

She shoots the halfling a very, very smug look over the cage and jacket as the growling stops and a barbed tongue rasps over her fingers.

“I’d be a fool to fire such a diligent worker,” she preens.

--

It’s only a day or two later Vex is able to get Pelora (apparently a common name children give pale or ginger mollies in Whitestone - the daughter of Cassandra’s valet names her) to stop and enjoy some scritches as she pads by. Positive reinforcement is doing wonders for the poor thing - her ears are ragged ruins, her nerves even worse. Despite helping herself to castle fowl she’s skin and bones underneath.

It’s a delightful surprise, if not a betrayal, to find the cat stole her spot a week after their meeting.

“Percy, darling,” she calls as she slips into his office, a plate heaped with lunch for both of them in one hand.

In an unusual turn, Percival is not pouring over some request for funding or aid or another. Handling citizenship applications from refugees looking to move to Whitestone in a more permanent manner had been the subject of much of his attention.

Which is why Vex made a point to show up and make herself subject of his attention, when she could.

His head shoots up to meet her gaze, glasses most of the way down his nose. Percy smirks and brings a finger to his lips. Shh.

Curiosity piqued, Vex tiptoes over, silently setting their plate on a somewhat clear spot. She thinks that document can handle a few crumbs.

Pelora is curled in his lap, purring. As if sensing Vex she opens her eyes - the fluffy mouser trills, flipping to show her belly. Her paws knead the air.

Vex stifles a snicker behind her hand.

“She stole my spot!” she giggles.

Percy laughs hard enough to piss off the cat. She leaves in a huff, tail high. Vex, at least, keeps her word and seats herself in the space thus vacated. Percy’s such a pleasant shade of red when she does it - hard to resist kissing his cheek before digging in.

#critical role #perc'ahlia #percahlia #vex'ahlia #percival de rolo #cr fanfic #critical role fanfic #just a lil snippet that didnt make the cut BUT is still awfully cute for what it is #LOOK you know how many cats are named Leo or Simba or Kitty or Luna or Midnight n shit #I feel like diety derived names would be common! and Pelor is one of Whitestone's patron gods #so - feminine version of Pelor being a common name for pale female cats #I feel like cats are associated w Pelor in Whitestone anyways - given they love to sunbathe and do not fear the dark #campaign 1 #vox machina

So... this is an idea that I don't know if many will agree with, but I'm putting it out there, anyway.

I feel like, for obvious reasons, Buffy and Angel would always have trauma with the idea of him calling her "Buff."

(Unless, in the future, they managed to talk it out and eventually managed to heal from that, so that eventually he could. That's a great option, too.)

But nicknames are adorable. And while usually I'm opposed to someone in fanon calling a character something they didn't in canon (except in the Kingdom Heart fandom, Sora calling Kairi "Kai," but there's a tiny bit of precedent for that), what if way in the future (after a lot of character development and them having a life together, of course, and them being super comfortable with each other) he called her "Fy" for short some times? (Pronounced like the last part of Buffy's name is pronounced, of course. Or how people sometimes might call a "Fiona" "Fi" for short, for example.)

It might be cute. Especially if it's a special nickname that only he calls her, since if anyone else wants to shorten her name, they just use "Buff". I don't know.

#buffy the vampire slayer #bangel #if anyone's curious at all... the tiny bit of precedent for sora calling kairi 'kai' even though. to be honest. he's never truly called her #that in canon is this:#in kingdom hearts canon at one point memory shenanigans happened and he lost all of his memories of kairi. and as his memories of her were #being restored at one point he didn't remember her whole name yet but remembered the 'kai' part #also. kairi's name is derived from the japanese word 'kai' that means sea. tetsuya nomura. the game's director just added the 'r' and 'i' t #it to make it sound more feminine. and 'sora' means sky. and their best friend riku's name means 'land' so there's a whole theming thing #going on there #so for those two reasons... even though sora's never called kairi 'kai' in canon. i would be okay with/could maybe see him calling her that #for short in the future or something #it also helps to try and show how close they're supposed to be (the three of them have been best friends since they were around the four an #five ages). and (i love the kingdom hearts fandom and always will). but sometimes it's more 'tell' than 'show' (like how i'd love flashback #to actually SEE these three's closeness. but alas). so in fanfiction i'm always doing what i can to somewhat fix that. like adding #flashbacks. or say having sora (and even riku) call kairi 'kai' to really hint at that closeness #-literally no one cared about the kh thing of course (in being here for bangel and buffy). and yet the ocd i swear i have made me put it #here anyway. oops.-

never feel more confused about my gender than when someone calls me by my full (very feminine) name and it takes a moment to register that they are like. talking to me. like not exactly that because i always respond unconsciously but also. my brain catches up and is like what the fuck. who is this elizabeth lady. she sounds sophisticated.

#like in a way liz is also a very feminine derivative it can be nothing but elizabeth #but also it's short and sharp and kind of harsh sounding which is nice i like that i like the way it makes me feel #pretty much everyone calls me that except my family. but like my family calls me elizabeth a lot. and it's so jarring #and i guess i would still call myself a woman but also. am i. and of course names =/= gender but also. like. they kind of do. in my head.#and also what the fuck #liz.txt

Funny thing about that Freudenfreude bullshit though is that I now have a song stuck in my head that I haven’t thought about in like 20 years Why can a single word that doesn’t even exist reanimate an entire song in my brain while all the fucking kanji I studied in the meantime have fallen into oblivion

#do you derive joy! when! someone else! succeeds!#do you not play dirty when engaged in competition!#do you have a big! intellectual! capacity!#but know that it alone does not equate to wisdom!#do you see every! thing! as an illusion!#but enjoy it even though you aren't of it!#are you both masculine and feminine!#politically aware!#and don't believe in! capital punishment!#these are 21 things that i want in a loveeer #not necessarily neeeeds but qualitieees that i prefer #do you derive joy! from diving! in and seeing that loving!#someone can actually feel like freedom!#ok i'll shut up now #actually this is a pretty good song. glad it's back on earworm radio #maybe alanis morissette should write a song about kanji. maybe then i'd be able to remember the damn things

Mildly infuriating, but I am getting really tired of feminism and feminine movements being tied to reproductive organs.

"No Uterus, No Opinion" shit ignores the fact that there are plenty of uterus havers that are vehemently anti-choice and by extension means that their body-controling opinions matter more than non-uterus havers who believe in body autonomy. We keep making excuses for women who have no issues upholding patriarchy. And gatekeeping against supporters because of goddamn bio-essentialism.

I'm kinda sick of any feminist art or marches are just littered with feminine sex organs, as if that's the only thing that matters about women. A tattoo shop was offering pro-women tats and they were all bird flipping uteruses or coat hanger art. Is that the only thing that defines being pro-woman? Just the body parts?

It's bad enough that conservatives think I'm a baby factory because I have these parts, I don't feel empowered or celebrated when the movements meant to dismantle patriarchal views also reduce me to the same thing.

I'm kinda nb, but any connection to my feminine side isn't rooted in my "mighty womb", it's in other stuff.

Also, if we're so intersectional that "anyone who identifies as a woman is a woman" and "sisters, not cisters" in feminist spaces, why can't I go two seconds without being represented by my sex organs?

#its frustrating #im am so much more than my parts #and the parts of my i consider feminine arent derived from me having them #and feminity is so much more than cutesy uterus art
