Right well half of their clients are nonhumans in their original form that want a break from their human lives. At first it's all normal pets, dogs,,, cats,,, maybe a bird or two... Nothing abnormal.

Things are all fine and dandy until a nonhuman--a dog demon--gets the genius idea to hire a petsitter...for themselves. Her entire train of thought was "I want to be pampered, and I'd also like a break from my responsibilities." so she hires many different pet sitters for herself, trying to find one that sticks.

Most of the ones she finds aren't bad--definitely not--they take all of the safety precautions that they would for a normal dog... Even when she gives them special instructions on how to treat her the dog they aren't attentive as she'd like. I mean, who's letting a dog watch tv and laze around all day? Who's going to give a dog a full night-routine? There's a ton of limitations that she has when it comes to the pet sitters, and she can't really blame them for treating her like,, well.. a pet.

Well she's running out of hope and she randomly hires these decently rated pair of pet sitters, two guys that look like they rely on energy drinks to make it through the days. Her hopes aren't high but holy hell they do the best job out of everyone.

She hires them twice, the first time she calls it's Shen Yuan that comes 'round. He looks over the instructions and raises an eyebrow while muttering something about rich people... BUT HE FOLLOWS THEM. He turns on her TV show at the time she specified in the letter, he brushes her from head to toe--so thorough with it that she feels like a brand new dog at the end, he doesn't question when she sits to eat at her own table. He does everything on the instructions left behind and he does such a good job (except for the cooking bit, but she can excuse that) that she can't help but brag about it to her fellow dog demon group.

Word gets around, and after a few more suspicious hires with oddly intelligent pets SY and XF have made a name in the spiritual beat/demon community. Nobody expected to get such good treatment from the two, but like they are broke college students trying to get a bit more cash, why wouldn't they take these easy jobs? It's not that hard to pamper animals anyways.

ANYWAYS ANYWAYS SO AFTER WORD GETS AROUND SUDDENLY THEY'RE PET SITTING FOR THESE HIGH END NAMES LIKE.. /THE/ LIU QINGGE, A WORLD RENOWNED MARTIAL ARTIST, ASKED THEM TO PET SIT? (LQG didn't need to be pampered but he does enjoy it. He really just wanted to run around in his original form but he didn't want to get photographed and targetted or something idk) SY and XF don't question the fact that LQG's pet is a.. giant wolf thing, the rich live in different worlds than them anyways.

QI QINGQI ASKED THEM TO PETSIT FOR HER??? LIKE ONE OF THE MOST WELL KNOWN FASHION DESIGNERS THAT CLAWED HER WAY TO THE TOP IN A CUTTHROAT INDUSTRY? Do they care that they're watching over a ... weird horse..? NO. MONEY IS MONEY. (Qi Qingqi says that her 'pet' is a rare horse with,,, odd skull growth, which resulted in the weird horn like structure on the head and the abnormally long tail for a horse. SY and XF don't question it actually)

SY and XF had a whole motto of just.. not questioning things above their paygrade. AND THEIR CLIENTS LOVE IT. LIKE whoops, XF saw Liu Qingge's "pet" fly! Oh XF said "huh, that was a long jump. Must be a special breed..." and kept it pushing... PERFECT

thank you knocker for waking me up this was very funny

(note: vulgar language and I think suggestive? Idk august got 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴𝔂 with my bed)

I haven’t had the energy to do more than just idly scroll the dashboard for a while, so I apologise for the lack of acknowledgement of (for example) the things in my inbox, which I do want to say I greatly appreciate and am aware of. I am also aware I have not been commenting on others’ posts as often as I otherwise try to ‑ I hope that me doing so isn’t an overstep when I do it, but no-one’s said it is so far, so that’s always a good sign to keep going.

I won’t be able to prepare anything for the Ides of March this year, amusing though it has been to have posted selfship things on the date before.. but it is Yi Xi’s birthday (/release anniversary), which - combined with her box art letters ‑ probably explains a fair bit of how she’s characterised in her Vimalion Project design (the one that was used for Butcher Vanity). I may still be trying to make my own personal design for her, which talking to my friend has helped me with (thanks Clue!), but I still find it funny to acknowledge that~

Cale: it's kind of tragic, how bad he is at hugging ppl back. He gets all stiff and awkward and doesn't know what to do with his hands. He will reluctantly hug back if they feel upset. Unless it's raon, ohn or hong hugging him. He's used to getting hugs from the kids. But he basically never hugs anyone else? Ppl just hug him.

Alberu: depends on the situation, me thinks. If it's some stuffy noble guy who he doesn't really like, its like an awkward professional hug. If you're Cale who just got back from doing something stupid, it's weirdly passive aggressive but also don't-do-that-again-pls-for-the-love-of-god hug. He's gotten plenty of affection from his aunt and the other dark elves so I think he's fine. Mildly touch starved maybe? Idk I'm indecisive.

Choi han: He holds on for a little too long, and a little too tight. Like he wants to make sure you're there.(Especially if your name starts with c and ends with ale)

Unless its a stranger, then let go or you will be sliced.

Raon, Ohn, Hong: I don't think they really like getting hugged by anyone but Cale? (He never starts it unless he thinks they're asleep, but they like hugging him.) I think it's iffy for them even if it's someone from their found family. Either they climb on you willingly or u pretty pls don't touch them.

Lock: He's pretty great at receiving and giving hugs. He's an older brother, what did you expect?

Rosalyn: I don't remember her backstory, someone help-

Edit: it's been decided that she is a great hugger. Gives warm older-sister hugs even if you're older.

Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

oMG THANK YOU

I LOVE James.

I love him but know almost NOTHING about him (canon and Fanon wise)

I hate how he would bully/pick on Keith but he grew up, grew out of it, therefore I love him. I also love his character design, hehe

Watching Tiny Keith beat him up was thrilling and one thing I wished happened in season 8 is when the paladins (+ Coran, can't forget Coran he's such a gorgeous man) and the pilots and the people from the garrison were having one of their many meetings (I think it was the first one they had, actually. I can't remember) and I someone said smth that someone else didn't agree with and Shiro was try calm them down and they just weren't having it and James started yelling at them about chain of command and following orders from superior or some shit and we see Keiths face and I cannot put into words how badly I wanted someone to point out that Shiro technically wasn't their leader anymore and that current leader (Keith) had yet to tell them to shut up and how dare you you need us to save your sorry asses stfu and aahshdgdjdjdjdgfg

But they're not like that and they wouldn't say that but every time I think of James I think of this and I just sit and think.

My all time favourite ship with James is Jeith/Jaith because YES??? There probably was a time when I knew of another ship w/ him but now I can't think of not one.

We don't see James a lot but for the little we do see he has so much character development and I just love him so much like he was this shitty little asshole and then he's grown and responsible and there is no grudge or anything with Keith or anybody- I mean, why would there be? Canon doesn't add the details, just the basic outline and it's up to fanon to fill it in :) (says the girl who doesn't even know the Fanon)

I love James yelling, being yelled at, spying on people, and I wish we had more of him
