#echo the cat

[xblueshin]

I decided to make drawing of my fankids interacting to decide/play around with their dynamics

for now I've done Fleet&Echo and Fleet&Archie

Ideally, I want to make all my fankids interact with one another, but I do struggle with some of 'em. There are characters that I barely thought of them interacting, and if they would, it'd be under circumstances that require them to.

I'm Alive! And frustrated. FT. Echo the Cat / Here's a little Echo the cat ref! And a little rant about my SP content. (Check other socials for better possible versions) 🐈‍⬛

My cat’s chosen avenue of showing me affection is laying on top of me purring as loud as she possibly can. This is interspersed with short conversations where she waits for me to notice that she’s stopped purring so she can answer me with a meow. This is adorable but also she is like 15 lbs of giant fucking cat lmao

Contains spoilers for Gotg 3!

This is exremely niche, but I need to put it out there:

They way gotg 3 depicted the interactions between Rocket and the High Evolutionary reminded me so much of 'the alchemaster's apprentice' by Walter Moers.

Moers is a German fantasy author (for those who do not know) and created a fictional world where his storys take place. He usually takes well known storytypes and transforms them with lots of word play and satire. It's quite unique.

In 'the Alchemaster's apprentice' an alchemist makes a deal with a starving cat named Echo, a special type of cat that can speak, to 'buy' his body fat, since he needs it for an experiment.

He will feed the cat for a certain amount of time and then kill it. Echo agrees, since he would starve either way.

The alchemist teaches Echo secrets of alchemy and comforts him, while he also tortures him psychologically.

Echo still seeks his comfort sometimes, but is also fully aware of the horrors the alchemist inflicts upon him and other creatures.

Spoilers (for those who wanna read to skip)

Echo finally manages to escape and slashes the alchemists nose. There's a vivid description of how dangerous exactly a pissed of cat can get that's basically just slashing claws.

And it's cathartic!

I felt a great deal of satisfaction when rocket went full on wild racoon and tore the Evolutionary's face of. I really felt that.

The mocking of Rocket's pain and the complete lack of empathy were almost unbearable for me.

I needed that scene, even if the results were devastating for Floor and Teefs.

I'm really greatfull for Rockets near death scene that solved that for me. For me personally it would have been even better if the animals were back in their natural state, but they wouldn't be the ones Rocket met, so I get that wasn't possible.

Anyways, great movie, the transhumanism critique was highly appreciated.
