Bahaha. Yes. https://youtu.be/BCIYmpR7a_k

I was unprepared for this and it was DELIGHTFUL.

I can no longer hear the name Steranko without thinking of Leverage. "In the vent?! Really?"

LOL! When I first watched Leverage I was like “Wait, did they...did they name a security company after the comic book artist?” and lo and behold, THEY DID.

The paperback was Leigh Brackett's "Hounds of Skaith" and the comic is Creatures on the Loose #21, Gulliver Jones. He took a lot of artistic license with my boobs LOL! BTW, he loves his fans and is always gracious towards them. He's also very intelligent and interesting to talk to. Just a horrible boyfriend LOL!

“I appreciate you coming with me.” Mantis rubbed her handstogether nervously, large black eyes blinking as she took in the sights ofWilamean. “There are so many people here…”

Nebula grunted and adjusted the hood of the coat she wore todisguise herself. She was notorious and distinctive enough that she riskedbeing recognized as a daughter of Thanos, but someone needed to watch overMantis. The girl would undoubtedly get herself kidnapped within ten minutes ofbeing let out alone. Nobody would be touching her. 

“I have never been shopping before,” Mantis continued,frowning. “Ego provided me with everything I needed. Is it always so loud?”

“Yes,” Nebula said shortly. Then, because Mantis drew herarms in tighter to herself, she added, “I never really went shopping either. WhenI was a child, we went to market, but it’s not like this.” She didn’t add that asa daughter of Thanos—and lately, in her burgeoning career as a pirate hell-benton revenge—she just took what she wanted. It seemed like it would just upset Mantis,who was on edge enough.

For some reason, that made Mantis relax visibly. “So this isa first for both of us!” she chirped. She reached out and took Nebula’s hand—herrobotic hand. Nebula held back a flinch and allowed the contact, remindingherself that Mantis wanting to touch her was both the woman’s attempt tocomfort herself as well as a show of trust. Nebula had told her to only grab fleshlessparts in those circumstances, not wanting to inadvertently harm her, but it wasstill disconcerting to allow anyone to touch her and not find herself in pain.

Mantis tugged Nebula along. “Look at these!” she said,pointing toward one storefront. “Let’s go in.”

“We’re supposed to get food,” Nebula pointed out. “This is adress shop.”

“We can get food after…?” Mantis slowed, her antennaedrooping slightly as she considered.

Nebula scowled. She didn’t want to go in a dress store. Shedidn’t want to be in this d’astmarketplace on this d’ast planet. Butthere was a green dress in the window that wouldlook lovely on Mantis, light and flowing, and she could picture it showing offher arms and legs, and picture herselfrunning her hands over the silky-looking fabric, and…

“Fine. We’re going inside. Let’s get you a dress.”

Mantis squealed happily. “And then we can both be pretty!”

“You’re the one who’s pretty. I’m a monster.”

“No,” Mantis said, kissing Nebula on her cheek plate. “Youare beautiful. You are strong and magnificent and wonderful. Do I have to showyou how I feel about you again?” She held her hand out, antennae tips glowingas she tried her best to glare fiercely.

what were you reincarnated as?

That was interesting but didn’t make for such a snappy post -- it turns out, at least in my internal world, you aren’t reincarnated from birth, but rather from your first conscious memory, so I reincarnated as a two-year-old child. I guess the bombings didn’t have a permanent apocalyptic impact, because I was at a large family dinner and everyone seemed pretty happy, stable, and well-fed. That’s about when I woke up.

Jesh that's scary... Were the cryptids in the dream?

Not that I saw or thought about, but they go where I go, so they were probably around somewhere :D

jesus fucking christ sam I though there'd been another terrorst attack

Yeah, looking back I feel there’s probably some way I could have phrased that better...

Cedar shavings are no longer suggested as bedding for small mammals / rodents because phenols in the wood can damage the lungs and liver of the small mammal. Is an intact cedar wood lounge tree a similar potential health risk to cats?

I don’t think so -- the issue with the phenols for cats is that they have to be ingested, and usually in pretty high concentrations. There’s a lot of discussion of not using cedar oils (a natural flea repellant) on cats because they can lick it off and get sick, but as long as the Cryptids don’t chew on the tree (which they don’t seem inclined to do, they much prefer to chew on plastic bags) they should be fine. 

Also cedar is a bit bulky and prone to split, so going forward I think most of the trees will be made out of different materials, I know there’s a Maple one in the works.

This is such a fantastic tree! I see myself buying my kittehs one after the new year. Great job, Dad Sam!

Thanks! I’m very pleased with how it came out, we designed it together and I love the aesthetic of it. The Cryptids seem more inclined to climb it now that it’s been there for a few days, but even if they weren’t that interested I think it’s a nice installation piece.

They will no doubt see the benefits of the hexagon shelf whenever you get around to sitting right THERE on the sofa...

It’s a good thought! I might. I can’t get them to go on the rope hammock either, but I think they just need some inspiration and to be shown that it’s structurally stable :D

is this the Sisters' first year with the Halloween day-core?

Second, but they were a bit more squirrely last year since they were only about six months old. This year they are philosophical senior cats. :D

Take it from a massage therapist, you probably made their day, better fun underwear than creepy person refusing to wear some !

Eurgh. See that’s the thing, like, I really only own fun underwear at this point; I buy all my underwear from Old Navy’s “weird prints” section. But I have...more tasteful fun underwear than the glowing bats, and I try to wear those when I’m going to be seen in them. 

But yes, better than not wearing any. Creepy.
