#snarkiness

Summary:

Jon's suffering from period cramps and a lack of understanding his feelings about Martin. Martin's suffering from 'I have a crush on my snarky jerky boss.'

I haven’t actually seen -trail before but I don’t see any reason it wouldn’t work.

1. A good mentor, who leads young cats down the path to adulthood. 

2. A good tracker/navigator.

3. A cat who forges their own path, probably a stubborn type. Kind of overlaps with both the “snarky” and “dedicated” categories.

4. A possible apprentice suffix if you’re trying to get completely out of the realm of body parts, for similar reasons to the first meaning.

Sidon with pregnant s/o

The eve of the day was on the rise and all you could do was sigh, feeling fatigue and sore. Your bulging stomach weighed heavily on your hips and knees, and quickly sat on the bench outside on your shared balcony. Resting your hands upon your taunt belly, your mind wondered to what will be served for dinner, but you grumbled not wanting to wait so long when your little one inside was nagging for more food. 

Alas, being Sidon’s lover and the bearer of his child the court decided to plan a special diet for you of the richest nutrients. They weren’t starving you, but they didn’t approve of unnecessary snacking despite your pouts.

So you wanted to eat more sweets than nutritious five star meals. It wasn’t you who wanted it, you would claim, it was the baby. You smiled and laughed to yourself at the thought of telling Sidon your reservations on prohibited snacks.

 He only laughed when you claimed the baby needed snacks so it may be born sweet as Sidon, but even he was stern on keeping with the diet. Oh well, there were perks to being a lover to a Prince and there would be cons. It definitely wasn’t the worse thing to happen.

Rubbing your stomach in thought you didn’t hear someone approach behind you. It wasn’t until you heard tinkling of jewelry did you look over your shoulder. You smiled at Sidon while he removed his shoulder pieces and headdress. He returned your smile with a toothy grin of his own and his massive height loomed over you as he bent down to kiss you. 

As he pulled away he knelt down and peppered your stomach with its own kisses. “Hello, my young one. Have you been good?” He murmured to the baby and funny enough you felt the little one squirm inside. He eyes glimmered happily feeling movement under his palms. “Are you excited your Papa is here? Do not worry my little guppy, your time in there is almost over.”

“Hopefully soon, because I fear one sneeze will pop this child out.” You mumbled, leaning your back against the wall. Sidon continued to rub your stomach as he smiled at your words. You took one of his hands in yours and each time never failed to notice how his hands engulfed yours. You kissed his knuckles to his palm and sighed, finally feeling at ease. “I may have to make it a point to stay by your side. It seems I am only well when you’re around, Sidon.”

He smiled and nuzzled your stomach, “That would be a dream in itself, sweet droplet. It pains me to leave both your sides. I do not want to miss a thing.”

You only chuckled, “You honestly won’t be missing much other than me being hungry and them kicking.” You ran your hand along the top of his head, tickling his fins. The sensation caused him to shake his head and rub where your feathered light touches once were.

“My dear, every moment I am not with you I feel as if I am missing out of the wonders of life itself. I would have never imagine my child being carried by someone grand as you.” 

These two are close enough in meaning that I’ll put them together, but you could absolutely separate them if you wanted.

1. A standoffish or snarky sort of cat, aka a “frosty” or “cold” personality. Personally, when I use this meaning for a suffix, it inherently implies “but with a heart of gold”, just to keep it from being a negative suffix.

2. A very calm cat. Kind of a more positive spin of the “cold” personality, since remaining calm under pressure is a great trait for a clan cat to have.

3. An opinionated, dedicated cat, as unyielding as ice. Again, this is still a similar archetype to the first two, but with different leanings. 

-fang is more common in canon, but these are more or less synonymous, so I’ll write them up together. You can use just one, have them be the same, or give them separate meanings.

1. Combo hunting and fighting skill, the classic Ailuronymy use of -fang. Cats finish their prey off with a bite and also bite when fighting, so it can reasonably represent both, or possibly either of the two.

2. Cat with a snarky personality. Doesn’t necessarily make sense, but Yellowfang is still in many of our minds and I remember this meaning being around on some older naming resources.

3. Possibly a damaged or missing tooth, or some kind of injury exposing the teeth? You can make pretty much any body part suffix a name-change suffix if you’re creative enough.
