Puppies and kittens and ♥s!

I'm late but... HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY [livejournal.com profile] faechan!!!

Lea, my aunt's dog, gave birth to 5 puppies last night!





We thought she was going to have just 3 puppies, so we found only 3 people to give them to; now that there are 2 more, we'll have to find someone else soon to take care of them. Mum is already making noises about taking one.... but I want a cat, not another dog! We already have two and everytime I ask her about getting a cat, she tells me "No, Nasssty, we already have two dogs. We can't take another pet.".... unless it's another dog, apparently. /o\
Don't get me wrong, I love puppies (especially if they're even a tenth like Lea) but I like cats better.

Anyway, we might go see them tonight or tomorrow (so I can take some pictures ♥!)

In other news, the Cat!AU (that I've been referring to as "We Are So Purring") is now at 800ish words... and Brendon has yet to meet the other cats (/o\). I have told my sister how I want the story to go (even if she is not in Bandom, so I had to stop multiple times to explain who was who and what and where) and she seems to like it, but her not being in bandom means she can't tell me if I'm doing it right or not. Also, it's a bit frustrating when you already have all the story planned in your head but everytime I pick up a pen I start sketching scenes instead of writing them because, for me, illustrating is easier than telling. The thing is, I found an old "story block" I bought last year and never used and I started plotting the story there, so now I have something that resemble a storyboard and I've been using that as reference... but translating my sketches in actual words is hard.
Ok, now that I've whined about it I can start again *wanders back to the googledoc*

ETA: I've decided that cat!Ryan's collar will be lacey


ETA2: sort-of-drabbles in the comments

cat!Ryan must wear lace! It's like the rule of kitties at the disco or something.

[identity profile] aredblush.livejournal.com 2009-06-12 04:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Right? Ryan kept throwing off the normal collars and stealing Greta's lace threads from her craft box and winding them around his neck. Eventually, Greta caved and bought a garther and a little cameo as a charm.

(I'm having way too much fun writing this XD)

Awww.. I already love him! :'D

You're allowed to have all the fun, but you must share!

[identity profile] aredblush.livejournal.com 2009-06-12 04:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Ryan is fun to write about. For example (I'm going to write this right in the comment box, I'm making it up as I go. Watch me fail!):

Brendon doesn't get how a cat as klutzy as Ryan can be such a snob. He constantly falls from the furniture he climbs on (when he manages to climb it), he walks into doorjambs and gets his tail stuck between the pedals of the piano. Now that he thinks about it, Brendon reckons that half the times, Ryan gets in some kind of accident because he walks with his nose up in the air or because he is trying to look glamourous, swishing his tail this way and that without caring where it lands.

ICON <3
You really dont ned to see me flailing at that! :DDDD Ryan is totally my favorite now! He needs someone(somecat) to bring him down to the ground!

[identity profile] aredblush.livejournal.com 2009-06-12 04:54 pm (UTC)(link)
I am tempted to change all my icons towith cat!au icons! But then I'd have to make one for every kind of mood...

Exactly! Brendon noticed that Ryan seems to be more snobby when Jon comes around the house. He tries to talk to Shane and Eric about it (they may be field mouses, but they know a lot of things) and they tells him that sometimes, when you really like somecat, you treat them bad because you fear rejection (there is a lot of word-stressing and meaningful stares when they explain it to him, but Brendon thinks that it's just theatrics). Brendon thinks that it's a really stupid approach and promises himself to do something about it because he has an inkling that Jon wouldn't be averse to hanging out with Ryan. If only the situation with Spencer was so easy to resolve.... He really doesn't get why Spencer is so standoffish with him.

SHANE AND ERIC (plural for mouse is mice? i think?)
And duh, brendon. he should realize that what shane and eric said about ruan applied to spencer as well!

I wish i have a lot of iconspace for the cats~

[identity profile] aredblush.livejournal.com 2009-06-12 05:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Mice! I fail at grammar when I write in a rush XD
Yes, Shane and Eric are field mice that live in Greta's backyard!

Brendon is a little dumb when it comes to these things. He grew up in a cage, so he hasn't got a lot of experience when it comes to relationships. Mostly, he read teen magazines advices when the shelter lady's niece came to read in the back where the cages were kept. He knows the "10 ways to lose 3 pounds in a week" (they didn't work, Brendon tried them all but his hind legs keeps being more rounded than normal), that his boy type is the "Knight in shining armour" and what the "5 things you can't leave your house without" are (if you are a human. Brendon lacks the opposable thumbs to work a mobile phone).

[identity profile] of-silverandsky.livejournal.com 2009-06-12 05:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Aw, Brendon. You have a lot to learn! (can spencer be a knight in shining armour? that'd be so freakin cute)

What the hell, you can really write. You should've started a long time ago! I love you so hard~

[identity profile] aredblush.livejournal.com 2009-06-12 05:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Well... Brendon does think that Spencer is a knight in shining armour... or a Persian with shining hair, whatever. Granted, he was pissed about the "cookie jar incident", but he did help Brendon get out of it. If it weren't for Spencer, Brendon would have been stuck into the glass jar until Greta came home. Spencer is kind of an angel-cat, except he doesn't have wings and doesn't speak to Brendon unless it's for reprimanding him about "dangerous stunts" and "idiotic behaviour" and "leave the lizards alone, they're way to fast for you". Brendon fears that Spencer sees his as a little inexperienced kitten still in need of his mum and that is not good. AND NOW I HAVE TO STOP BECAUSE OTHERWISE I'LL GIVE UP A MOST IMPORTANT PLOT POINT AND THAT WOULD BE BAD!

If you want we can talk about Pete and Patrick, Joe and Andy's guinea pigs. They leave across the street from Greta and Jon introduced them to Brendon the afternon of the cookie jar debacle because Brendon needed cheering up.

OMG STOP NOW. lol sorry for disturbing your writing process but these are awesome. so so good and cute, you dont even know. where have you been all my life?

[identity profile] aredblush.livejournal.com 2009-06-12 05:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh no, I meant that I just couldn't continue with that specific part :) You're not disturbing me in the least!
Ah, they're kind of cute, yes, but it's really hard to put all these pieces together in a way that makes sense...

[identity profile] of-silverandsky.livejournal.com 2009-06-12 06:01 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm kind of worried that I'll have to wait longer for the fic xD just because I'm disturbing you like this.

Ah, I'm not very experienced in writing. You have a plot in mind already?

[identity profile] aredblush.livejournal.com 2009-06-12 06:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, don't worry. I think I'll wait for the end of BBB to post it, and I'm not sure it will be finished for that time, anyway.

Yes, I have the plot (both in bullet points and in story board form!), but writing it is not easy, even if it's fun. I already know what I want to tell and how (mostly); it's just that typing all the images I have in my head instead of drawing them is strange and I don't know how to go about it. My writing process consist in sitting in front of my laptop, fiddle with iTunes and look at the storyboard and then try to find a way to 'tell' what I see.
I'm still at the beginning stage, so everything is still pretty easy, but I fear that I'll smash into a block sometime soon :(

[identity profile] of-silverandsky.livejournal.com 2009-06-12 06:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Please, after the BBB. I cant keep up with it at all!

When I used to write (HP fanfics actually xD) I always wrote down the whole story first in simple sentences, scene after scene before starting it out again to redo and add stuff to complete it. everyone has different styles, though.but you HAVE to complete this We are so purring thing, or I'll make cat!brendon cry.

[identity profile] aredblush.livejournal.com 2009-06-12 06:22 pm (UTC)(link)
I can't keep up with it either! SO many beautiful fics, so little time!

I usually do that (for essays and such). I really really really want to complete it because I like to play with it a lot <3
We can't have a crying catbrendon! SpencerCat would shred us to pieces with his killer claws!


Also, I need to find a better title. "We Are So Purring" is hilarious, but I don't know if it would be a suitable title for it....

[identity profile] of-silverandsky.livejournal.com 2009-06-12 06:29 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm only reading the fics with panic boys as the main pairing, the rest will have to wait :(

omg, i dont need a spencer to attack me! xD

but we are so purring is cute! it's not hilarious at all, seriously!

[identity profile] aredblush.livejournal.com 2009-06-12 06:35 pm (UTC)(link)
me too :D but I try to comment on all the fanart (because I can't resist).

Spencer is fierce! We have to watch out!

mhm.. you and [livejournal.com profile] raffie79 both like it, so maybe I'll leave it (plus, I named the wip file like that...)

[identity profile] of-silverandsky.livejournal.com 2009-06-12 06:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Let it be the title for now, and after the story's finished, you can think of something else if you want. :D

i gotta go sleep now, you know, it's almost 3 in the morning..

[identity profile] of-silverandsky.livejournal.com 2009-06-12 06:44 pm (UTC)(link)
yes, mom~
:D night!

[identity profile] trashcancore.livejournal.com 2009-06-12 05:39 pm (UTC)(link)
i can't tell you how absolutely excited i am about the kittens at the disco. i'm not sure if it's called that, but I saw it in one of the other comments, so there you go! ahah. also, cat!spencer icon.

[identity profile] aredblush.livejournal.com 2009-06-12 05:49 pm (UTC)(link)
This thing doesn't have a name yet, I call it "the cat au" or "we are so purring", but I think I'll have to find a better name for it if I ever finish it. If you read the thread above you'll find some sort-of-snippets written on the go (with loads of grammar mistakes because I fail when I write in a a rush) ;)

[identity profile] faechan.livejournal.com 2009-06-12 06:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Grazie per gli auguri \O/ ♥

We Are So Purring
EPIC. WIN. XDDDDDDDDDD

Prego! Spero che sia stato un faelice compleanno XD

Il mio cervello, ovviamente, è bacato. We Are So Purring.... Ma come mi è venuto in mente?!

WE ARE SO PURRING. ♥ ♥ ♥

[identity profile] aredblush.livejournal.com 2009-06-12 09:13 pm (UTC)(link)
:DDD
I was going to change the title, but it looks like people like it as it is...

[identity profile] wethepainted.livejournal.com 2009-06-13 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
This whole entry is so happy-making! Puppies ♥

The thread up there is full of awesome!
We are so purring! What a great title for the fic. I'm so stupidly excited about this it's almost embarrassing :D

(Also, guinea pig!FOB made me giggle pretty hard *g*)

[identity profile] aredblush.livejournal.com 2009-06-13 09:49 am (UTC)(link)
The puppies!!! I love them so much! I just found out that my aunt named one of them after the Kiss singer and I had a "omg bandom is everywhere" moment XD

It started as a joke, but it looks like I'll have to title the fic like that...

(Hee! They used to live in different cages because Andy thought that it would be better to keep them separated, since Pete was kind of a handful, but when Joe and he moved in together, Pete spent all his time with his little paws between the bars of his cage trying to reach Patrick and looking at Joe with hopeful eyes. Joe bought a bigger cage because he couldn't live with a sad Pete, but Patrick didn't look very happy with the new arrangement, at least not at first. He kept scurrying on the second level of the cage and moving the toys around to block Pete on the first level.
Not that it ever worked for long. Pete always found the way to overcome the barricades and launch himself at Patrick, pressing his nose into Patrick's fur and sighing Patrick's name in relief. After a week, Patrick stopped running and just rolled over when Pete wanted to snuggle.

... I'm going mad. Please, stop this nonsense. Love, me)

[identity profile] wethepainted.livejournal.com 2009-06-13 12:11 pm (UTC)(link)
AAWWWWWWW! Patrick should know that Pete can't be blocked :D

[identity profile] aredblush.livejournal.com 2009-06-13 12:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Pete and Patrick are so freaking cute ♥

[identity profile] technolustt.livejournal.com 2009-06-13 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
Puppies! Kittens!

Seriously, this post is made of cute! Your story sounds so adorable! I can't wait to read it! =D

[identity profile] aredblush.livejournal.com 2009-06-13 09:51 am (UTC)(link)
Puppies and kittens makes my days brighter! Trufax!

Thank you :D The story is slowly taking shape. I'm having so much fun with it!

[identity profile] toodelicious.livejournal.com 2009-06-13 01:35 pm (UTC)(link)
aww kittens & puppies *squee*
you can never have enough♥

[identity profile] aredblush.livejournal.com 2009-06-13 01:55 pm (UTC)(link)
So true! Mum and I have almost reached a deal: she can take one of the puppies if I can take a kitten at the end of this summer :D

[identity profile] raffie79.livejournal.com 2009-06-15 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
non mi ero accorta di questo post, le BBB fics mi stanno succhiando via tutta la vita! cat!ryan mi fa morire haha *pets him*
Non vedo l'ora di leggere we are so purring \O/ (LOL il titolo. i adore you so much for it!)
btw... ho visto uno dei tuoi disegni, quello dell'anello *_*
è meraviglioso!! :D :D
Ora leggo anche la fic così capisco anche meglio cosa hai voluto includere ihih
cmq <333 and :DDDDD ;)

[identity profile] aredblush.livejournal.com 2009-06-15 01:02 pm (UTC)(link)
A chi lo dici! Ce ne sono così tante! E tutte lunghe ♥___♥
Cat!Ryan è uno spasso, ma dargli una "voce" è proprio complicato...
We are so purring conta intorno alle 1400 parole al momento. La cosa mi sta sfuggendo di mano... non sono nemmeno a metà ç___ç Stupido plot del cavolo *prende il plot a calci*
Oh! Quello è il primo che ho fatto! Quella fic era assolutamente fantastica quando mi hanno mandato la "brutta copia". Ora che è completa è ancora più bella e magnifica e ♥ alla quisquiglionesima! Anche il mix che hanno fatto sembra bellissimo, ma ancora non sono riuscita ad ascoltarlo.
C'è anche un'altra fanart qui (http://community.livejournal.com/bandombigbang/39307.html). È una fic sugli Hush Sound, che di solito non leggo molto, ma è piuttosto carina :)

ahhhhh late! RYAN IS GOING TO BE MY FAVORITE, I CAN TELL! HE SOUNDS LIKE SUCH A SNOB HAHA WHO WANTS TO IMPRESS JON

<3333333333333333 Spencer as a knight in shining armor aww, brendon <3

[identity profile] aredblush.livejournal.com 2009-12-01 11:13 pm (UTC)(link)
I know right? I have this image of Ryan strutting around all supercool and then he gets tangled in the garden hose and ends up belly up in the flowerbed... Jon is impressed by Ryan's penchant for getting belly up.

[identity profile] xbeax.livejournal.com 2009-12-01 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)
haha omg Ryan's attempts to impress Jon fail, I can just picture him being embarrassed and getting away quickly while Jon looks after him with a confused look on his face haha <3
