Hello Pen!!

Write about dnf playing with Patches!! And George insisting he is a co-parent of Patches.

Yes yes Patches our queen 😌

When George gets home and walks through the door, Dream expects a hug from his favorite person. What he doesn't expect is to be ignored in favor of a cat.

"George," Dream whines, and when his best friend doesn't turn around, Dream puts his hands on his hips and pouts. "George."

"Where's my pretty girl?" George coos as he walks into the living room. He gets down on his hands and knees, scoops her up from where she was hiding under the coffee table and cradles her in his arms. "Daddy missed you so much, yes he did!"

Even though he's upset about being ignored in her favor, George does seem happy so Dream lets it slide.

At least until George opens his suitcase in the middle of the floor and removes a mountain of cat toys.

"George!" He exclaims, kneeling on the floor beside George and picking up one of them, a mouse on a stick. "You know Patches already has a ton of toys."

"I missed her birthday, idiot. I needed to make up for it." George counters, then lunges for the toy when Dream shakes it, like the cat he is.

Dream laughs and shakes it again, "I just think it's funny that you got all this stuff for someone you used to call a 'ball of fucking allergies'."

George snatches the toy away and sticks out his tongue. "She's my daughter, Dream. I'm allowed to spoil my daughter."

"Your daughter?" Dream grabs another toy, one that must be laced with catnip based on the way Patches Immediately lunges for it. "She's my cat, George."

"Our cat." George corrects him. "Which makes us both parents. And makes me her other Dad."

Dream opens his mouth to argue some more but the words die on his lips at how happy George is.

But also because he's looking at George's open suitcase and not seeing anything but clothes and cat toys.

"So," he begins, "Did you bring home everything for your favorite co-parent?"

George continues playing with her, trying to lure her away from one catnip toy with another. When she doesn't budge, George looks up at Dream and smiles. "What I have for you wouldn't fit in the suitcase."

Dream raises one brow. "Oh?"

"Yeah, it's kind of a hands on gift," he says. "Very hands on."

Dream looks at patches, then back up at George and gestures to his bedroom door behind him. "I think patches will be good with that catnip mouse for a while, if you want to show me."

George looks at patches, then at Dream and shrugs his shoulders before taking more toys and laying them around her in case she gets bored. He stands, takes Dream's hand and pulls him to his feet. "Let's go."

When Theo does something wrong, like neglect a chore or comes in late, how do Louise and Manny make his punishments worse than their average sadism?

Oooh interesting question!

Theo tries very hard to never be in that position but it does happen on occasion. Manny and Lou are quite calm, I guess you could say, with actual punishment. They approach it with this very cavalier attitude and don't want to expend much energy on "corrective action".

So, for example, there was this one time, it was really early on, before Theo realized that he was only allowed to do anything when given permission. He wasn't to dress without permission, go get himself cleaned up without permission, eat without permission, etc. He was to do what he was told, and only that.

So while he was preparing breakfast one morning, he took a little bite of food. Manny caught him and calmly asked who gave him permission to do so. When no answer came, Manny pulled out a roll of duct tape and wrapped it tight around Theo's mouth and simply carried on with their day.

Theo still did his chores, he prepared meals, he laid on the couch with his head on Lou's lap while they watched a movie, Manny even fucked him and let him sleep in the bed like usual.

It was never talked about, it was simply endured. And Theo was mortified. Every single time he was spoken to but couldn't answer or kissed on the lips over the duct tape, he would blush a deep red and want to crawl into a hole and die just a little bit more than the previous day.

For four days they did this, Manny only cutting off the duct tape for breakfast, lunch and dinner and hand feeding Theo himself, every single bite, the exact amount be was allowed, no more, no less, before wrapping him up in duct tape again. He did this until Lou finally convinced him that Theo could be trusted again and she missed his pretty face too much for him to be covered in duct tape all day long.

--

So the punishments aren't particularly brutal or painful, but they must be endured. And they are not quickly forgotten.

Me after getting out of the slammer last week and immediately coming to annoy you:

You're lucky my foster parents don't know about your criminal record. Diane and Henry would have a heart attack.

Imagine getting caught for a crime you committed. Couldn't be me, I'm too good for that.

(Also, why do you have so many cat images?)

Which of your TMayNT pieces were your favorites to do?

Do you have any favorite TMayNT posts you've seen from others?

as much effort as I put into Day 22, my fav is probably the silly Hypno one I did.

My friend @sabrondabrainrot made an absolutely goated piece here. That's probably my favorite of all time ever.

Pros and Cons of dating Il Dottore :)

Disclaimer: for everyone wondering why @theodora3022 would possibly ask this: YES. I may or may not have some sort of interest in him.

Pros:

Bragging rights for being one of the few people that has been able to see what he hides under his mask.

I (and by “I” I really mean “We”) have a headcanon that he is from Fontaine. So catch me blushing like a schoolgirl when he drops the french pet names.

Say what you want about him, but at the end of the day, he IS a doctor. So I get to date a knowledgeable, financially stable man that could save me the trip to the hospital (in this economy? That’s some A+ game he has)

I’m the kind of person who laughs when little kids fall (as long as it isn’t serious, I’m not a monster) and I feel he would be laughing right next to me, recording the whole thing so I can have something to laugh about when I’m sad.

I don’t think he would be a soft boyfriend, but definitely the type to have light-hearted banter with an s/o, the eventual roast session and lots of laughs at silly jokes and I think that’s beautiful.

Cons:

He is freaking crazy and has probably gone against several laws and basic human rights while working for the Fatui (I believe no further explanations are needed on this one). I will have a hard time coping with the fact that a man like him is attracted to me and I will spend a lot of time revaluating my life choices.

Would probably try to experiment on me more than once. I wouldn’t be able to visit him at his workplace because that would creep the hell out of me.

I think he is the kind of person that stares at you while you’re sleeping. As someone who has had a few episodes of sleep paralysis, waking up to that would haunt me until the day I die.

Sharp teeth. Uncomfortable for kissing but we can work that one around and figure something out. Also, a bitter. Not even in an intimate way. Just, bites you out of the blue.

I think that his work would demand a lot of his time and will probably ghost me for days and then come back as if nothing has happened.

Scary man is scary, but I think all in all there are worst choices.

per your answer: does Theo have a less favorite guest? Has his old owner ever come back around btw?

Oooooh I don't have a clear answer for either of these questions but they definitely inspire some ideas!

There's a woman in my mind, I think she is Lou's closest friend and just about as cruel as she is. Pretty sure Theo HATES when those two are together and they spend their days lazily lounging around and chatting while effortlessly embarrassing and humiliating Theo in various ways. Just playing with him for their own amusement really. Those days are very long for Theo and he's left emotionally exhausted and just so deeply mortified by the end of the night. He isn't even sure why. He does everything he's told to do. He's always on his best behavior. But it always leaves him feeling like he's just the stupidest, most retched little thing to have ever existed. And that's somehow so much worse than when one of Manny's friends drag him into their lap or gropes at him as he walks by.

As for his old owner, not yet!! But I think that would be so interesting! He wasn't a cruel man perse. He just viewed Theo as a semi valuable tool that he could sell in a time of need. But he didn't realize quite how sadistic Manny and Lou were. He knew Manny would use Theo the way he did, that was obvious, but he assumed Theo would be properly taken care of in return.

And he is, technically.
