Yes I know cats don’t drink alcohol I just thought it was funny.

in case anyone else was wondering what a younger Fate and Lady Pawdington might’ve looked like :)

I am not sure what Fate's cat is called but perhaps you can both play with it together! Give them good pats and ear scratches and that kind of stuff. Lay them into one's lap. The cute cat stuff.

AUGH I LOVE LOVE LOVE THE IDEA OF US BOTH BEING AFFECTIONATE WITH HER TOGETHER...she's very selective about who she lets pet her so the idea of her liking me because her papa likes me is so sweet!!!! 10/10

did i accidentally invest too much on this au. m maybe

additional notes below!

i know its possible to have vonel wear black as well but i wanted him to stay true to fate's colors (and yes i know there are no bright yellow in papers, please's color palette but shhh)

technically theres more grim reaper spawns, but lets just say vonel never kept track until now or there's a lack of reapers in the human department lol

the inspector still goes by the inspector, but is interchangeable with the reaper or grim

kinda has a similar vibe to the meta, please au - but in this case vonel is not fully aware of inspector's repeating lives thanks to jorji (mortimer)

initially they were restricted to just managing fates in arstotzka, but i wanted to raise the stakes :]

everyone in the office are not humans! especially not these two

vonel is aeons old. inspector is at max 28ish office-days old and vonel made him with sugar, spice, human eyes and store-bought lemons mixed in a brewing pot <3

oh yea vonel has the cat :] still deciding if it'll be lady pawdington still

anywho, for anyone trying to understand all this, basically vonel designs what is called the great dying as an attempt to eradicate humanity, so that the office ceases to operate and exist and that he could finally rest from his aeons work loop. he fakes the equilibrium rule and holds a facade to trick inspector to blindly follow his orders that would lead to the great dying. inspector can choose to either loyally obey his orders, rebel and help build humanity into a utopia and takeover vonel's role as he resigns, fuck shit up completely and get fired, create an actual equilibrium, or rebel and kill vonel.

death and taxes said if the concept of fate was a person first of all they would have a cat that they sat in their stupid little office petting evilly for the aesthetic and they would call her “lady pawdington”. and they would wear glasses that are impossible to see through for the look and they would hate going to the grocery store and they would nickname the soulless beings of death they created “grim.” and he would leave work for days on end to write the worst novel of all time and he would lecture his employees in terrible corporate buzzwords whenever they fucked up and he would write notes to their employees waxing poetic about how dark and dreary and despondent their soul is just like the rain outside. and they would get so horribly bored after thousands of years under death capitalism that they would try to kill off all of humanity just so he could die and be at peace finally but if it didn’t work they would just smile sadly and get their things and hand their position over to their favorite grim, the one who thwarted their plan, and they would let them take care of their cat. also they would be nonbinary. and death and taxes was RIGHT

what if instead of being bored at work i made a new lady pawdington shitpost

I am watching your death and taxes play throught on Youtube and i had to make Gerbil. So far i have only finished the head, but i will finish it while watching your Videos <3

AHH!!!! IT'S GERBIL!!! If anyone hasn't seen my Death and Taxes; I loved the Gerbil from the game so much and was SO DISTRAUGHT when Lady Pawdington just EVICERATED my buddy Gerbil.

You've done a fantastic job thus far.

So I got Death and Taxes recently...

OK LAST SKETCH DUMP I SWEAR

Death And Taxes headcanon time

Lady Pawdington's yellow eyes match Fate's bowtie, so it's always been a headcanon of mine that Fate has blue eyes behind his glasses that match Lady Pawdington's collar

[SPOILERS FOR THE TAKEOVER ENDING]

In follows the story of Grim #24, whom of which successfully managed to avert the apocalypse and take over Fate’s position as the new head of the Human Department.

And it’s a bloody dreadful job idin’it? No wonder they snapped ey…?

Expect: -Petty management -Familiar faces -Feline shenanigans -Melancholy -Fluff -Existentialism -And a heavy dose of vacation themes

Ok but:

Grim and Fate as the “You Didn’t Know” song from Hazbin Hotel?

Fate: “This discussion is senseless and petty!…A man only lives once, we’ll see you in one month! Gotta say, I can’t wait to- come down and exterminate you! 😠😁”

Grim: “Wait! What are you saying? Let me get this straight- You go down there and kill those poor souls?”

Fate: “You didn’t know? Whoops! Guess the cat’s out of the bag-“ (Lady Pawdington meows accordingly)

I just- GAH

Fate is not too pleased with the constantly squeaking cat toy...

feeling rly weepy and stressed out today in general. whenever i get into moods like this i imagine him holding me until im done crying and then wrapping me in a warm blanket and making me a cup of tea and i don't normally like hot tea but i feel like it'd be better when he makes it. and he sits down next to me and puts an arm around me and lets me catch my breath and calm down. idk its nice to think about.

So, it took weeks but I’ve made a plush of Lady Pawdington from the game ‘Death and Taxes’. It’s made entirely by hand and her fur is made from yarn! My fingers are dying, lol!
