Hey do you still post here? I haven't used Tumblr in a fat minute
ah, well, unfortunately, no i mostly don't anymore orz i closed this place down months ago (i think) bc i felt like there just wasn't much interest in it and it was hard to keep it going bc of that, which was. very discouraging
however, i missed it a lot and tried to bring it back recently-ish, but. well, there's still very little interest, aha, so for now i'm afraid it's kind of in a limbo of some sort
What was your mohter like Lune?
"Oh--" Here Lune hesitates, perhaps unsure how to best word his answer. "That's a fair question, but I'm afraid it's one I can't answer. I hope you do believe me when I say I'd be all too happy to if I could, however..! I guess the best explanation I can give is that for all intents and purposes, I don't have one."
For a split-second, it seems he might add more to clarify, but in the end, for perhaps unclear reasons, he decides against it.
here have some rambling about Backstories
for yuki, hers is basically a blend of both the manga and the movie in that she began life as a stray but was eventually taken in by haru as a kitten and lived the rest of her life as haru’s pet. as in the manga, tho, Something Bad Happened and yuki eventually came to the cat kingdom
for the purposes of this blog, while she misses haru a lot, she has a great fondness for the cat kingdom and views it sort of as a nice place to slow down and regain one’s bearings. her life as a stray was chaotic and nerve-wracking, and the relative safety and peacefulness offered by the cat kingdom, even with its uncanny, artificial nature, is simply very calming for her
i’ve had lune mention before that yuki isn’t often pegged as a newbie to the cat kingdom despite the fact she is, and a lot of that is bc she’s taken so wholly to its culture and such
she has been very quick to embrace the cat kingdom as home (for the time being, at least-- she doesn’t have the same Blindness natori does regarding the place), and especially with her Status Change, wants to become more and more knowledgeable about its history, etc.
the cat king spent his time in the human world as a very pampered house cat who was doted on by his elderly owner, who either had no children of her own, or lived far enough away from them that frequent visits were simply not feasible. it’s very possible that he lived with a handful of other cats, but i haven’t yet ironed that out completely lmao
he came to the cat kingdom as an adult, quite possibly on the older side of that, and caught the eye of persephone, the queen’s daughter. to this day, he’s not entirely certain Why, tho he’d be hard-pressed to admit that and will generally just chalk it up to his Good Looks should he be asked his opinion on the matter
i haven’t decided 100% yet but his name back then might have been something like vital or vitale. or possibly travere thinking emoji i’ll figure it out someday
as of retirement, he honestly doesn’t have much of an attachment to either the human world or the cat kingdom-- the human world is too remote in his memories for him to still feel significant nostalgia for it, and the cat kingdom is just sort of very gradually losing its charms. compared to the others here, he’s the only one who is just Bored a lot of the time jfieap
[image description: a printed out flyer with the picture of a sleeping grey tabby cat on it. It has text on it that reads:
Muffin disclaimer
So you’ve ordered a muffin! We hope you’re up for a challenge.
Our wobbly tabby cat Bea REALLY likes muffins so there are a few things to be aware of if you have a muffin in the cat area.
- She WILL climb you to try and get your muffin - She is not very good at climbing so she will claw her way up your body - It WILL hurt - She WILL NOT give up - She may try to eat the muffin right out of your mouth - She is not allowed to eat muffins
You may pick her up / move her away if needed and if you’re really struggling, come and talk to us and we will help. No matter how much she wants to, it is still very important that you don’t let her eat any muffin as it will make her sick.
Good luck and we hope you enjoy your muffin experience!
She may look sweet and innocent but we promise you she’s not

Bea the muffin thief has come upon my timeline again and I am obliged to reblog.
i once filled out one of those grid memes where both yuki and natori ended up on the ‘easily injured’ side of things, but were on opposite sides of the other axis– wherein one of them (yuki) got labeled as ‘unstoppable’ and the other (natori) instead was ‘immovable’ and i feel like expounding on that atm fieifpa
bc i’m forever amused by comparing and contrasting the two voices of reason
like honestly (particularly on this blog) they have a lot of things in common– both are quiet and generally pleasant-enough company, polite and friendly. they both tend to prefer more supportive roles in the lives of their loved ones but also have little difficulty in positions which ask for more authority from them. and they also both have a Distinct standoffishness to them despite being perceived as quite soft and affable
on yuki’s side, i like the idea that she’s often sort of pigeonholed into this expectation, bc she is very soft-spoken, that she is also quite shy and perhaps even easily cowed. and i think probably her shrewdness is very often underestimated, as well as her determination bc of this perception of her
with both yuki and natori, i think their occasional coldness and lack of sympathy in very particular scenarios probably surprises a lot of people thinking emoji
also coming back to that meme that made me think of this in the first place– the reason yuki is ‘unstoppable’ while natori is ‘immovable’ is bc natori is noticeably more passive than yuki is, which also plays into the fact he tends to be less successful as the voice of reason laughs when it comes to solving an issue, yuki’s instinct is to take steps which will see her actively working at a solution, while natori’s instinct is much more to hold down the fort and manage the aftermath
this isn’t to say they Always do this, and either one could very well be motivated into going against their instincts should the situation call for it, but i do think of this as being the main difference between their approaches to problems
also worth noting that one of them is generally operating from a more obscure position than the other (at least before the end of canon), and with that in mind it’s probably little wonder that natori would prefer more passive methods which do not call his loyalty into question
it’s unclear just how many queens and kings natori has lived through, but he definitely didn’t play the exact role of advisor to all of them
also keep in mind this doesn’t necessarily mean every one of those rulers reigned for their entire lives or even a very long time at all bc of how the cat kingdom operates and its true nature, so it’s very possible that it’s still only been like. 50 years or so lmao
A black dragón floating above the clouds
So others need not squint to read “On March 11, 889 CE, 17 year-old Emperor Uda wrote: ‘On the 6th day of the 2nd Month of the First Year of the Kampo era. Taking a moment of my free time, I wish to express my joy of the cat. It arrived by boat as a gift to the late Emperor, received from the hands of Minamoto no Kuwasahi. The color of its fur is peerless. None could find the words to describe it, although one said it was reminiscent of the deepest ink. It has an air about it, similar to Kanno. Its length is 5 sun, and its height is 6 sun. I affixed a bow about its neck, but it did not remain for long. In rebellion, it narrows its eyes and extends its needles. It shows its back. When it lies down, it curls in a circle like a coin. you cannot see its feet. It’s as if it were a circular Bi disk. When it stands, its cry expresses profound loneliness, like a black dragon floating above the clouds. By nature, it stalks birds. It lowers its head and works its tail. It can extend its spine to raise its height by at least 2 sun. Its color allows it to disappear at night. I am convinced it is superior to all other cats.’”

Truth Serum | Accepting
“I-I could never hate the citizens of our kingdom!“
There certainly are things which, while perhaps not rising to the level of outright hatred, still linger some distance below the metaphorical ‘neutral’ line. But to acknowledge them? To say them aloud? He’s gone through so much trouble to conceal them.
Yet he still answers, inclining his head in a manner that might read as both his characteristic respectfulness and also a reluctant resignation, or perhaps is more simply an attempt to hide as he betrays himself.
“...Though I suppose... the eternal sunshine can be, ah-- troubling, at times. Of course, I’ve... I’ve taken to wearing these sunglasses, you see, so it’s not at all an intolerable inconvenience, ha.”
Then, much quieter, ruminative, “I quite rarely visit the human world, as well, but I will admit to a fondness for its winter aesthetics. I sometimes find myself wondering how such a change might affect our own perennial landscape. Occasionally. Very occasionally.”
“...Please don’t ask me to continue.”
