Adventures In The Med Cat Den

just a lil thing inspired by this tweet (i was particularly moved by the last sentence, existentially so, really felt it echo in my chest)

before recording a TV show

Above are 2 pictures of pjjexpert, one of him in 2011, the other in modern times. (2020)

Rubber Soul era.

I’ve never seen anything like this on film before. Paul really has nothing at the 30 second mark—but 45 seconds later he’s got the makings of a hit single.

There’s a widespread view that creative people wait for moments of inspiration. But McCartney, at age 26, is literally able to force these moments to happen. What a skill! And note his confidence & absorption. This is what the ‘flow state’ looks like in real time. -  Ted Gioia,  Author of 11 books including Music: A Subversive History, The History of Jazz, and Delta Blues.

so many things that you wish i knew but the story of us might be ending soon — part 12 of my beatles x taylor swift series ______________

DENIS: Paul liked John’s idea. *Laughs* He told me exactly what you’d say about this. JOHN: Did he?

Warrior cats main protagonists and villains ranked by how cuddly i think they would be:

1. Squirrelflight

She is small and soft and I bet her toe beans are very squishy. She's full of love

2. Cinderpelt

A sweetheart! Very affectionate. She curls up on your lap, licks your hand with her little pink tongue, and then purrs herself to sleep. Sometimes she likes to climb up on your shoulder and sit there like a parrot

3. Graystripe

Huggable. Round. LARGE boy. Loves kids and dogs

4. Cloudtail

He just lays down on top of you and smothers you in an endless sea of white fluff. You will need a lint roller afterwards. He can sense when you're sad and purrs to cheer you up

5. Firestar

A good kitty! He would purr SO LOUD i just know it! Most likely to aggressively start kneading and giving kisses

6. Ravenpaw

I bet he likes gentle scritches behind his ears. He probably has dainty little paws and would be very cautious to not accidentally put his claws in anyone while cuddling

7. Mothwing

She purrs and clings to you in a very tight hug but sometimes forgets not to hug with her claws

8. Brightheart

A little timid, especially if you try to pet her from her blind side, but once she warms up to you, you can feel your heart melting she's just SO sweet. Radiates kindness

9. Hawkfrost

He's an attention whore who will try to convince you he's Baby even though he's really Bastard. Insists on you cradling him in your arms at all times. Hates your partner, your friends, your family, anyone he sees as competition for your attention. Never bites or scratches you, surprisingly

10. Feathertail

Just a cloud of fluff. A soft, soft cloud of fluff

11. Dovewing

She likes to be picked up and carried around and cries if you try to put her down. Her fur is the softest, plushest pillow

12. Leafpool

The gentlest little kitty cat. Doesn't like to be picked up so much as sit near you and give you little kisses sometimes

13. Stormfur

Might wiggle if you try to pick him up but usually pretty friendly

14. Tawnypelt

Yeah you can pet her. When she wants to be left alone she'll give your hand a gentle bite. If you don't stop after that you might lose a finger

15. Crowfeather

He is indifferent to you. Please do not touch

16. Lionblaze

The pinnacle of Dumb Orange Cat but POWERFUL. He demands your full attention with a forceful head bonk that obliterates your kneecap and when you fall over he jumps onto you, effectively kicking you in the stomach, and starts kneading. While doing so he will put his entire weight into a single paw placed right on your boob and then deploy the claws all while purring louder than a motorcycle

17. Spottedleaf

She's very cuddly but drools all over you when she purrs. She has an overpowering smell like sickening, nauseatingly sweet pumpkin spice.

18. Longtail

He likes pets and snuggles but if you don't give him enough attention he gets passive-aggressive and starts lashing his tail, usually sitting near you and flicking it against your arm so you know he's mad

19. Sandstorm

She likes being around you but if you try to pet her she scratches your hand

20. Sol

He's an asshole cat but he loves attention. Wants you to pet him one second, biting you the next

21. Bluestar

May attempt to murder you but I think she needs some love

22. Scourge

Same as bluestar with extra murder

23. Jayfeather

Goes completely limp and pushes your face away with his paws when you try to kiss his little forehead. Growls indignantly the entire time

24. Hollyleaf

She's afraid of you and if you try to get near her she'll hide under your bed

25. Tigerstar

You can't resist sticking your face in his soft kitty tummy. He's the fluffiest cat in the forest. He immediately mauls your face

26. Yellowfang

Do NOT try to give her a bath or take her to the vet. Might occasionally kiss you, but WATCH OUT.

27. Ivypool

This is a feral cat. Maybe a patient and gentle person can earn her trust over the course of several years

28. Bramblestar

Asshole cat.

29. Ashfur

Hates children, yowls Roxanne or Rory in the hall outside your bedroom at 1am when you have to be up early for work, commits arson

30. Darkstripe

He doesn't care if you pet him but why would you want to? He smells bad and HATES kids. You feel inexplicably gross after holding him like you just hugged the carpet of a college dorm

31. Brokenstar

He straight up KILLS you. Leaps at you out of nowhere and digs his claws into your neck while yowling. Then he eats your corpse. Punt him back into the woods on sight
