#laoft jax

May would pretend to be annoyed with the Kittens a lot but would absolutely love them the trouble makers that they are (they remind her of Roman when he was little just a tad, and maybe someone else..but mostly Roman) and Jax absolutely adores them like a mother Hen (speaking of which shsjajskdv Kittens interact with the lovely ladies?)

(Also like I’m kinda bad at characterizion sometimes so this prolly isn’t accurate, but like eh, I wanted to say something on it and I did >:3 I jus care about these characters lots)

this is a great concept but all i can think is may and roman going through a drive thru mcdonalds and they get to the first window, get their shit, and drive on and the employee just, freezes dead

I’m very sorry to hear about your dog, and i would be happy to!

So - Ritter! Greta’s dog/coyote hybrid familiar

a good good big rowdy boy

can dog-bark AND coyote-scream, delights in freaking people out

felt guilty for a g e s about biting Toby in the second chapter of Gifts even though it was a panic response to Greta being in pain

followed Virgil around for ages after Virgil met Greta, neither he nor Greta felt the need to introduce him to Virgil for like... months

in fact Virgil didn’t properly meet Ritter until after for who would inhabit this bleak world alone?

At which point Greta introduced him and Virgil was like, “Oh, so that wasn’t an oversized coyote thats been stalking me since i met you it was this bastard”

Loves To Wrastle

ESPECIALLY loves to wrastle Virgil, who can pick him up like Ritter is still a ten pound lap dog and which Ritter thinks is fantastic fun

Ritter with Trudi’s rabbit familiar, Schatzi, was like,,, impossibly precious

Slightly less precious-looking is “teenage” Jax and Ritter, who was going silver around the muzzle - so please picture a huge, ominous looking wild black and silver dog with a goddamn turkey vulture perched on its back in the middle of the road at midnight and LOOK ME IN THE EYES and tell me you wouldn’t flip shit in terror

my little sister has a shirt that says this and i know its a meme but i 100% do not understand it alksjdklaj

here and here there’s some meta explaining this but, short version - not necessarily

the animals are a reflection of the witch/the witches personality

(Greta and Roman both have predators, for example, Greta a coydog, a pack hunter, which has symbolism tied up in her relationships with both Virgil and Durant, and Roman has an ambush predator. Roman, as a fairy hunter, hunts alone but like a domestic cat is not actually meant to be a solitary creature, instead part of a colony)

if Dizzy or Jax died before Roman or May (which they can, i talked about that in the above asks too - theyll live as long as the witch on their own but can be killed just like any other animal) they would get a second familiar, but that familiar would be a reflection of who they were at that moment.

May would almost certainly get another bird, but would she get another buzzard? unclear. She’s a much different person than she was when she was ten and full of too much bitterness for such a little girl.

It is an all animals/(almost) all fae thing, and if you’ve ever seen an herbivore/prey pet freak the fuck out when you put it in the same room as a carnivore/predator pet (for example a rabbit and a cat) you have a general idea of how animals react to Logan.

Basically the animals are instinctively reacting to the presence of an apex predator - it’s not even so much a magic thing as it is a “This Other Creature Can Fucking Kill Me Oh God Abort Abort” thing. Theyre just terrified of him.

I haven’t thought of any specific Worst Time This Happened, but he acquires a lot of scratches from stray cats over the course of his childhood.

As for Dizzy - if she was normal cat, she would actually be extra distasteful of Logan 

(and that is a magic thing - domestic cats as a species domesticated themselves, specifically for the purpose of agreeing to keep pests out of human settlements in return for scritches and abundant food. As far as cats are concerned, fae fall under that umbrella - they Do Not Get Along)

BUT Dizzy isn’t a normal cat, she’s a familiar. More importantly, she is Roman’s familiar, and as i mentioned here, her and Roman are inherently made of the same StuffTM 

Ergo, Dizzy adores Logan. Which very much startled him when he first became friends with Roman (which is seen from Dizzy’s semi-sentient POV in Cat) because he tried to avoid her, and she was like “No you need to pet me right now immediately”

And you didn’t ask about Jax, but he’s also very fond of Logan. Logan’s pretty spooked by Jax actually, because until the events of the main storyline, as far as Logan knew Jax was a normal (albeit oddly docile) wild turkey vulture with a fucking 6 foot wingspan and a beak that can crack solid bone. Logan’s not stupid.
