lizbee1. HARVEY IS BACK. I went out into the kitchen this morning and heard a strange squeak.
"That sounds like a cat," I thought, but I've been hearing phantom cat noises for weeks, so I told myself it was just the washing line.
Then I heard it again.
"No, definitely a cat."
Then again.
"I know that voice," I thought, getting excited. "That mixture of imperiousness and desperation is pure Harvey!"
So I opened the door and there he was.
I have no idea where he's been for the last month, but the bandanna on his collar has faded a little, and he is very, very thin. He was weighed at six kilos a week before he vanished, and now I'd guess he's about half that. And he's become very thin. In fact, I don't like picking him up, because he's so light and bony he feels very fragile. But his fur is still thick and bright, and he's eating normally and seems like his usual self -- only thirty times as affectionate -- so I'm sure he'll be okay. But we're taking him to the vet tomorrow just in case.
A special message from Harvey:
vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Switching tracks, the Legend of Korra panel has been transcribed. (Note: the title for the Tumblr contains the word for female genitalia that rhymes with "shunt", and I strongly recommend running the page through the Readability app if you want to actually make out the text.) Anyway, this non-spoilery quote made me laugh:
Over the years we’ve gotten a lot of fan mail which is always great and a lot of fun to read but uh sometimes, you know, it’s pretty bossy, someone telling us what to do, and I have to admit that we’ve been working so hard, we’re all really busy, and I’ve uh stopped opening the fanmail because like, two out of three letters, was like WE DON’T WANT KORRA, stop making this series! So we appreciate the enthusiasm for our work but I just had to stop opening the mail. So don’t send those kind of letters.
Fandom, you are your own worst enemy. Seriously.
And now that LJ is back up, here's a reminder that I can also be found on Dreamwidth and Twitter (same user names), and on Tumblr as Squiddishly (which is my back-up user name)
