I love stilt doggo!!!! (because it is a canid that belongs to a group of canids that are neither dogs, nor wolves, nor voxes, but a completely separate evolutionary story hiding in plain sight in South America, Cerdocyonina.
I know that's a lynx, but I come from bobcat country, the southernmost iteration of the lynxes. I was once told, "Bobcats are more dangerous than a cougar because with a cougar, you know what's what. A bobcat is small enough and cute enough for people to get dumb." ๐

Them: My writing voice is so strong, I can read or watch ANYthing while I write without affecting me.
Me: Bruh, I can't even talk to a human for two hours before I write, else I write in THEIR vernacular voice.
I'd rather a group of I.S. sufferers than the smug ones any day. ;)

From the 90s story:
"Pastor Abrams wouldn't kidnap anyone. That's not the kind of person he is. But Pat ... is a witch. And I'm guessing based on the bird skulls and crystals that Bonnie is too."
"I mean, Pat's Wiccan, I think, but I don't see why that matters.โ

#WIPSnips The word for November 22 is CRYSTAL
Crystals serve to house arcane energy in the Triempery series. Here in this snip from THE RILL LORD, we see such crystals used in battle. On the field of battle, Dorilian contemplates the source of the attack.

Lissie fell once on the walk. She kept her arm from hitting the ground and fell on her face instead. She rolled over and said, โArenโt you going to help me up?"
His hands twitched and curled into fists. His bulk was massive. His crystalline eyes stared into her, waiting.

'crystal', from Rune Carrier. Some spoilers for the first cycle of the Lonely Ship Saga, but it's all good!
Marcus takes a trip to the hangar, the home of the Rune Carrier's alien arsenal of psychic crystal.
โTell me why you want me in Engineering so urgently.โ There was a pause before The Rec answered. โLogic and protocol demands it.โ โThatโs not all of it.โ โIt is.โ โIโm going to deck two.โ She turned left and started the slow plod across the deck. โI must insist that you continue to Engineering and restart the ship.โ She smiled to herself without stopping andโฐ continued down the corridor. โIโve started walking now. Sucks when you lose control of the situation huh?โ โIโm afraid that this is not a moment for levity, Captain. I will be unable to continue providing assistance if you insist on not following protocol.โ She continued on, passing the exposed pipe work that lined the corridor, here and there she noticed crystalised water droplets on the pipes. โYou are starting to sound a little frayed there, Rec. I can continue on my own if youโre gonna keep being a bitch about it.โ โCaptain, I must insist that you stop treating me as an adversary. My only concern is maximising the potential preservation of life.โ
Unexpectedly have one for this, though it might get cut later ๐ Elara still exploring Thalassa. Not following orders.
