Who is your favorite cat? (Real or otherwise) (The not-a-cult of Lionblaze is totally not watching this thread...)

What, is your favorite type of a murder? (This is a word question, so think it out lol)

It isn't. (I can't figure out what a 'type of a' is, to be honest. But the answer is probably not murder.)

lmao oh no Lionblaze please forgive me. I am still building up my collection of Warriors books before starting a reread (box set of the first four novella collection books arrived today, actually!), so it's not super fresh on my brain. I'll throw out Ivypool and Jayfeather as being remembered faves, I think. Favorite real cat...maybe a friend's cat who he said normally takes ages to warm up to new people but was chilling with me and asking for pets on my first meeting with her. I was getting a good grade in cat, something that is both normal to want and possible to achieve,

The Not-a-cult of Lionblaze is disappointed...And hungry (Not in a weird way I just need a snack)

But also totally fair he's kinda annoying sometimes.

Ohh I thought the comma after what was part of the riddle  I think parliament fits ravens better, if anything, so I'll stick with murder for crows.

I don't remember disliking him either! Just didn't stand out. I do suspect I will find him more interesting on another read - kid me was obsessed with mind reading (okay, still am) but you can do some really fun stuff with immortality/fast healing too. And there are a lot of cats with character arcs I'm excited to see what I think about now. 

also go eat some food lol

What's your opinion on microgreens?

I just reread some of the old super editions - Did you realize that Yellowfang had powers? She could sense other people's pain and feel where they were injured. And it's very unclear why.

*one google later* that I don't particularly want to eat them, but then I don't for most greens, tbh. Sprouts are alright and they seem similar so maybe they'd be okay.

Yeah I do remember that! Honestly it's unclear why any of them who have ~special abilities~ have them, right? Unless I'm forgetting explanations. Just because sometimes cats are special, I guess. Soft magic lol 

[Chirolina she/her]

1) Coffee or tea?

2) Do you have any pets?

3) If you had to live the life of one of the characters in the Cosmere, from birth to death (or, if the chosen character isn't dead yet, you are stuck living their life until that happens, unless they're immortal I guess), which character would you choose?

Assume this is a timey-wimey magic thing where your real life pauses, you go live the entire life of your chosen character as if you are actually them (you keep your own thoughts and inner monologue but can't influence the character's choices) and then come safely home!

Hi, sorry for the delay! Been very busy lately. 

I actually don't drink much of either - in fact I'm not sure if I've ever had caffeinated tea? Herbal tea maybe a couple times when I was younger but I didn't really like it, and then as a teen and young adult I tried coffee a couple times, but was pretty meh on the taste (I know you can add sugar and stuff, but why do that when I can just get hot chocolate from the start) and it made me sleepy instead of buzzy, so I never really got into it. 

My family has two dogs! Their names are Oliver and Duckie. Ollie's a red heeler mix and Duck's a golden retriever. 

Oh man, is this a situation where I can still do stuff but I can't change any major plot points or decisions, or am I fully just trapped in the body unable to do anything but precisely what they did during the events of their book? If the latter, I would pick someone with a very short life so I didn't have to be trapped for very long. This would be hard in the other direction for noncosmere, so many choices I wouldn't mind (if I wasn't fully an observer for years and years), but in the cosmere it's hard to decide...mmmmmmaybe Marasi or Steris? They're mostly pretty okay, right? I think my final choice is Steris. 

Unrelated to anything, I just noticed I'm at 8,999 posts, so this is my nine thousandth, fun.
