    [justify]does anyone happen to have any nice pictures of black (or gray) cats that either give off a mysterious vibe/are surrounded by greenery and plants?


    also if they're hq that would be a+ im in desperate need of some to make into avatars

    ooo um definitely try eucalyptus! any sort of natural scents (mint, lavender!!) are really calming try rubbing fragrant oils like that on your temples or what i usually do is rub vaporub (bc it's cheap) on my chest or on the bottoms of my feet


    also try thinking about being in calming scenery! i took meditation classes this year and i always imagined myself sort of floating on this soft/bouncy sea of clouds. not only picture yourself there, but also think of scents and textures and sounds, and soon enough you'll be asleep without even realizing it! i know what it feels like to feel like nothing is working and you'll never get sleep, but ive gone from going to sleep at 3am to consistently dozing off by 10pm~ i hope all goes well!!

    [justify][sub]so as the holidays draw nearer and nearer, i've decided to narrow down my ideas for christmas and hanukkah presents, and i decided everything is going to be dog themed


    my gifts always have to be consistent w/ one another so having this theme is extremely special bc i get to surround myself with all sorts of dog plushies and it's amazing


    BESIDES THIs,, finding dog shirts/mugs/etc is extremely difficult on my budget, and i've had no such luck so far, sooooo
    if any of you know of any cheap stores/websites that sell these sorts of things, pls share !!

    i don't wanna be compared with that cheap shimmer and glitter

    [justify][sub]Like the first stirs of a chorus of violins in the beginning of a melody, the rose furred dog stepped into view. Her red coat glimmered like sunlight, like a blaze up against the greenery. She was certainly a sight to behold, her frame narrow and meek, her eyes soft and round black. Such a frail individual might rethink traveling on their own, but the canine went along unnerved, her stride proud and curious, but refined and regal. There was no question about the animal's dignity and poise, one that could even be judged as foolish in the unforgiving wild. But she continued about, a smirk trusted on her face as if she held in a secret.


    But as she reached the scent markers, her expression changed, gazing onwards into the territory. Her stance set itself more widely, and the cavalier spaniel shut her eyes for one moment, digging through her mind for something to say. And when she was ready, her eyes opened, she swallowed, and began to speak. Her voice was soft, it floated in the breeze, and although from the sound of it, English wasn't her first language, she kept her words bold and assured. "My name is Hypatia. I've come a long way to join DarkClan, and I do anticipate that you'll accept me."

    [justify][sub]The canine's head tilted downwards to meet the face of the two DarkClanners, as she'd been surveying the land ahead of her, eyes lost in the scape, slowly moving upwards towards the sky. There was a smile, although it seemed a bit mischevious, her eyes beamed of kindness—there was no sort of deception to be found in her, truly—though she figured she could be dishonest if it came down to it. Still, that wasn't what she was focusing on, rather, it was, "Lorraine and North." There was fact, something she valued and felt at peace with. Being punctual and to the point were values of great capacity to her.


    "I would enjoy showing myself around, though ... I do fear getting lost, so I do believe a tour would be, um ... acceptable." Hypatia would murmur, her body so still with elegance—almost as if a crown was weighing down her head. She now took interest in North, feeling she'd satisfied the needs of Lorraine's greeting. "Thank you, its very nice to meet you—both of you." The Cavalier Spaniel would express softly.

    [justify][sub]> name tigerfang
    > gender she-cat
    > appearance tall and round framed dark, warm brown tabby with gleaming orange eyes
    > personality mature and responsible, but becomes completely undone around kittens. her serious attitude melts away the second she sees the kits playing outside the nursery, and gushes about having kittens of her own one day. wishes secretly to be a queen, but has been keeping up a good reputation of being a well trained hunter and isn't ready to give her moment of glory up. can easily be seen as strict by apprentices or even her own peers, but those that know her understand her secret desires.

    [fancypost borderwidth=0px; width: 500px][justify]Hypatia happened across the situation, third to arrive. Her presence wasn't all too sudden, she'd heard the distant voices from a few yards away. The dainty dog had at first been alarmed at the noise, the fur on the nape of her neck rising in some sort of mixture of fear and defense. Simply running away from any apparent threat had never been in style of Hypatia, and she instead navigated through the wild to the source of the commotion. From far off, the noises were extremely suspicious, but when she was close enough, peering through the sparse wildlife, her guard gently went down, and she let out an amused huff at her own foolishness.


    The elegant Cavalier Spaniel would peel through a bundle of dried out brush, chin tilted upwards. "Hm." The new DarkClanner would pronounce, lifting a brow at the stranger, along with North and Ben (both of whom she was somewhat familiar with but had not yet engaged in a conversation with). Who's this? She almostwanted to say, but figured she was being pretentious enough. "I am Hypatia." The lithe canine hummed in declaration, smirking at Valeriya.


    (welcome !!~)

    [fancypost borderwidth=0px; width: 500px][justify]The lady had been spacey, wandering about by herself through the territory for the most part. She paid no mind to it, really, though it was apparent she'd been struggling to connect with other DarkClanners for her first few days here. It was most likely because of the dog's presence—she was almost very demanding to be noticed, and if that didn't seem desperate enough, what else could be steering others away? Now, this isn't to say that others were trying to avoid her, and certainly not to say that Hypatia was conceited—no, on the contrary, she was very proud of herself, but was self aware of her own flaws that came with being alive. Her regal nature, rather, was more of an instinct, and certainly not some means of gaining attention (even though it was possible she was seen this way).


    It was in her nature—in her birthplace, she'd been the daughter of her group's leader. Of course, being that way, she was heir to the throne. That meant all the responsibilities of that being eased on her shoulders, and the behaviors and mannerisms of a ruler. That is, until her brother was born. It had been written in law that a male would lead before a female, and thus, the role was nabbed from her. So, that's where her motivations began—wanting to live in a place where she could rise up to greatness without the pressures of fitting into a mold or being pushed aside by someone else. DarkClan had been the first place like this mentioned to her.


    And how the universe worked, her now strolling through DarkClan's camp as a full member. Though she wasn't the best fighter or hunter, she was eager, though wasn't going to be able to erase her mannerisms with the flick of the wrist. Her dark honey eyes trailed among the animals that communed together, a sense of happiness caught in her gaze. She wore that mischevious smirk, padding forward to inspect something that'd caught her eye ... a pile of fresh food. Upon inspection ... it appeared that the members of DarkClan would come and go as they pleased, and would take the prey and eat it. It was one collective thing, the group worked together to feed one another ... it was an idea she'd never thought of before. Her eyes seemed to show some sort of dumbfounded-ness, the mold that she'd known suddenly cracking. "Huh?" Hypatia whispered under her breath, the curly tendrils of fur on both hanging ears twitching curiously.

    [fancypost borderwidth=0px; width: 500px][justify]"Hello there ..."


    The voice, soft and warm but nevertheless bold and punctual, came from the Cavalier Spaniel, who approached on dainty paws, a fitting smirk and a quirked bros in direction to the stranger. There was an air of mystery to her, some sort of blend between the elegance of a dove, the impishness of a devil, but the kindness of a lamb. And the stranger she met eyes with, perhaps as much as a mystery. Hypatia found the diversity of the animals that associated and lived in the Clans to be so captivating, so unlike anyone she'd ever known.


    The princely look of Whitenoise impressed the cinnamon furred canine, and the regal aura he protected in his stance was similar to her own. The two both seemed to be rather disciplined, how intriguing that it was to find likenesses in those that were born miles and miles away from her. "You've found your way to DarkClan, sir, and ... I am Hypatia, how can I help you?"
