@fearedelight asked: Ains is going to lightly chomp on Charlie-- but it's bc she smelled catnip on her and damn it, it affects her...
Unprompted Asks { Technically } || Always Accepting
There's a startled brief shout as she almost tosses the bag of catnip she had found stored away in one of the patron's rooms. Someone was planning to be a menace to the cat demons apparently which would not have ended well so it was her job to remove it, and apparently become the target of Ains who she hadn't realized was nearby.
" Oops. Sorry! Didn't know you were around! I promise we're getting rid of this since it's technically a drug. But wow, I guess you have a really good sense of smell. "

I have Gathered some Data
@skysofrey and I recently got into a discussion about names in OFMD. Specifically, how many times does Ed actually call Stede by his name in the show? We could only think of a few examples each and that didn't seem right. And because I'm insane, I decided to rewatch and note down every time a name was used, who used it, and who was being spoken to. Here are my findings!
Before you proceed, please know that this is strictly for fun and because I was curious. There are likely errors in the data (I'm sure I missed some things, I'm just one person.) but! I still think that what's been gathered is very interesting.
Here are some other fun/important/miserable things that I found in my travels:
There is one more time where Stede calls Ed “Edward,” and the only time it isn’t said to him directly. This is when Stede is addressing the petrified orange.
Of the five times that Stede is called “The Gentleman Pirate,” two of them are from Ed.
Ed calls Stede by his name only twelve times in the series. Only two of these instances are spoken to someone else. There are two others when Ed is looking for him at the pier, and therefore spoken to no one.
There are only ten instances of other characters calling Ed something other than his name or “Blackbeard.” Two of these are from Izzy, during the scene in Spanish Jackie’s bar, where he’s informing Stede that Ed would like to meet with him. During this scene, he only uses “my captain” and “my boss.” This is one of the very few times he doesn’t refer to Ed to other people as “Blackbeard” and it’s at the time that is arguably the most important. (He’s an idiot.)
Out of the twenty times that Ed refers to himself, fourteen of those are as “Blackbeard/The Kraken.” He refers to himself with names other than “Ed/Edward” 70% of the time. 50% of the times he refers to himself by his name are during the beach scene in episode nine, and there is only one instance where he uses his name that is not in Stede’s company. ("Actually, I do want to be called 'Ed' from now on.")
Izzy only refers to Ed as "Edward" to other people four times in the show. Two of those times are when he's marooning Stede's crew, and each time he uses his name in that scene, he takes on a mocking tone. Meaning that 50% of every instance he's referred to Ed as "Edward" to other people, he's been mocking his name.
Ed calls Stede "mate" as often as he calls him by his name, but he only calls him "mate" directly.
Stede calls Ed by his name only once more than Izzy does.
80% of the times Ed refers to himself by name happen in episode nine.

OOOOOOOOH the book I’m listening to right now just had the rough and gruff and domineering self made hero overhear the heroine dragging him FOR HIS LIFE to her sisters and when she turned around to see him and realized he heard her call him ugly and crude and vulgar HE WAS BLUSHING IN A WOUNDED MANNER

unrelated to my usual loki blogging or history posting but i finished reading dune yesterday and watched the first part of the film trilogy and i'm so torn
because on one hand, i loved the worldbuilding, i thought the plot and themes were interesting if convoluted and often unpleasant, but i cannot stop myself from thinking about the themes and wanting to know where the story goes next even though i'm scared to learn (and i often didn't enjoy certain plot choices, like the 3 year timeskip or what felt like to me was chani being entirely sidelined)
on the other hand, i read the plots of some of the other novels, of which there is over 20, and frankly i think they sound unenjoyable and also there are so many of them- i know that guy turns into a worm- and how on earth could i ever read them all, what if they stop being good, but by that point i'm too invested in canon as has been known to happen- gestures to still keeping up with the mcu for sylvie alone- do i just. trudge along? through the 20 books?
my current course of action: gonna watch part 2 and maybe read dune messiah to understand part 3 when it rolls around but other than that. i shall try and resist any temptation to be called into the void. (can they cover all of dune messiah in one movie? will it be like 4 hours? so many variables)
and also i'm gonna be hard on the jessica and leto ship. peace n love.

Someone has cut some of your cat fur
And that someone is Rook who in invisibility
@bonjour-it-your-hunter
*tilts head as I feel my fur being cut*
*smiles an eerie smile*
*slowly, but without hesitation, turns and looks directly at where an invisible Rook is hiding*
Rook~!
*croons with a throaty purr*
RooooOOOOOOOOoooOooOOOoooook~~~~~!!!
The hunter wants to pllllLAAy?
Have you ever played cAt and mouse?
Except you? Are the 🐁? And NOT the hunter?
*still staring directly at you, even though you are invisible*
YOU. ARE. IN. MY. WOODS. ROOK. HUNT.
I. CAN. SEE. YOU.
DO NOT FORGET WHOSE LAND YOU STAND ON. YOU HOLD NO POWER IN THE LAND OF UNREALITY AND MADNESS. THIS IS MY DOMAIN.
I SEE YOU BUT YOU ONLY SEE ME IF I WISH IT.
*cackles with mad glee as I disappear, taking the fur you cut with me*
*you feel my claws brush against your throat in a clear warning and your invisibility flickers - you are visible once more for a second before going back to being invisible*
*my voice seems to voice echoes around you*
After all… I wouldn’t want to take away your invisibility fully… from one prankster to another….
But do not use it on me. Not right now. I am having my fun. You are having yours. This is mine. That is yours. Mine is mine and your is yours. If you attempt to remove my fun…
I will remove your fun completely and remove you from my Woods like I removed Trey.
*appears in front of your invisible form, smiling brightly and happily as if numerous threats were not just issued*
But you have fun with your invisibility in the meantime!!!!!!!! It’…zzzzzsss fun being invisible!!!!! Lotslitslototslotslotslots of fun!
And whatevrrrrrr you makessss with mryyy furrr???????¿¿¿
*giggles* I wanna know what it doessssss!!!!!!!! I wanna knowwwww!!!!!!!! So be sure to tell k!!?? K? Kkk? Okay!!!!!
*the fur you cut from me has already grown back, nothing seems out of place on me, though at the same time… everything seems out of place*
So I will not make you visible and you will not make me not catnipped!!!!! And I will not kick you out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TelllLLLllll Trey to stop beinggfffG such a worryyhrY warttty!!!!
It’ll wear offfffffffFFFFFFFFffffffff
eventually!
*snickers as I disappear into the night, leaving you alone where you stand in my Tulgey Wood*

for the word challenge: cover! if you feel like it; no pressure!
Thank you lovely anon! I hope this did not languish for too long in the inbox!
From later on in *deep breathes* Oh God You're Gonna Get It (You Have Not Been Given Love)
Have I mentioned yet how much I miss when this title was [redacted]? Because that was a much shorter thing to type
Then, not even thirty seconds later:
“'In-vet-er-rate.'”
Roy dropped his book. “Are you just scanning for words that you don’t know?”
“Mate, this is all from the same two paragraphs,” Jamie countered. He flipped the book around, thrusting it at Roy’s face.
Roy snatched it from his grasp -- eliciting a half-hearted, ‘Oi' -- but Jamie piped right back down when Roy passed his own book over in return. Jamie peered at the cover curiously.
“Wodehouse?” he asked curiously. “I know this guy; he’s the funny one, right? My-- Simon reads him. ‘S got like, all the books, he does.”
