a_sporking_ratFirst, a wonderful explanation for Anita being...Anita...from Dottie Smith!

Next, ratty stuff! Most rats love shoulders. Ratsputin, however, loves heads. He will climb up on top of mine and will squeak when I try to take him off. He's also growing a tail nail! Dominant rats get those; they lose them if their status in the cage goes down. Rose says Sid has grown one now too. I guess neither one was alpha (which was why they were fighting) when they were together so that's why they didn't have them before! For those wondering what that is, it's this little extra bit at the tip of the tail

Jenner has one too of course ;D I think the Anitaverse Rat Kings should have big ones they can stab people with!
One thing I hope that wererats don't have to deal with is penis plugs. (Warning: Link has pictures!)

Jenner has gotten two big ones and one little one this week. He is an older rat, but he seems totally flexible as ever. So maybe he's just gotten inflexible in this one specific way...or, as a friend suggested, he's realized he can con me into cleaning his dong for him if he doesn't bother with it. Rats are as intelligent as dogs, and certainly understand cause and effect (do this and get a treat, don't do that and get a treat) so it's not that far-fetched a theory. I can't call his bluff either if that's the case, since a plug left alone can cause a lot of problems such as infection.
Still, even cleaning rat peens is better than...
BULLET, CHAPTER 32, PART ONE
She won't let Damian come with her and Nicky because, even though she doesn't think Jake will hurt her, she doesn't want to take the chance of getting Damian killed because it might kill Nathaniel. Damian and Nicky's lives are apparently worthless, I guess. Now, to be fair, I understand valuing some lives over others. It's not the fairest thing in the world to admit, but it's the human reality. I am going to value the life of my dad over not only the lives of total strangers, but over the lives of many other people I know, people I may personally care about too, but still aren't Dad-tier. But you know what? The lives of these other people are not tied to me. I am not responsible for them. Anita is responsible for Damian and Nicky, responsible in a way that I don't think even has a real-world equivalent, since even people who are dependent like children or owned like slaves still have free will even if circumstances may prevent them from exercising it. Nicky, Nathaniel, and Damian don't have that. Anita should be doing all she can for them. Instead, she'll happily throw one under the bus to save the one that's her favorite dick-toy, and the only reason she doesn't do the same to the remaining one is because said dick-toy is tied to him.
She says she knows that the guards have picked up Richard, and are waiting for a tow truck for his car. They're hoping it won't get reported to the police because it would be hard to explain bloodstains when Richard is uninjured. "Again, playing Clark Kent was a problem for our furry Superman." Furry Superman brought a very different image to my mind than I think LKH would have wanted.
She spends two paragraphs talking about what Asher's office looks like and how it's very plain and "it looked the same as when I'd first entered it years ago, when it was Jean-Claude's office. Asher had added nothing of himself to it. That seemed sad." Maybe he likes to keep it looking professional? I think keeping it plain and impersonal projects a much more businesslike air than, oh, I don't know, loads of velvet and lace or lots of photos of Anita's face or whatever it is she thinks he should have personalized the place with. Anita talks about Jake is "short, dark hair, medium complexion, brown eyes, attractive in a manly-man kind of way, but even there he was almost too ordinary" and how ordinary he is and how he can blend in like a good Harlequin spy type while "the weretigers who had come with him were the opposite: eye-catching blonds, tall, and beautiful, or handsome, and somehow unwordly, as if they'd only recently been let out of their cages."
Considering that the past of the golden tigers is that they were enslaved by Vittorio and kept by the Harlequin as their animals to call, aka metaphysically bonded servants, metaphors about cages are really in bad taste, Anita. Admittedly, she doesn't know this yet, but the comment is still a really dehumanizing one in general anyway.
Nicky is leaning against the wall. Jake asks if she's sure she wants to talk in front of him. Anita assure him that Nicky is okay and "I didn't feel the need to explain he was my Bride and couldn't repeat anything we said unless I told him I could." She sure likes to explain it to us though. She's mentioned a LOT so far over and over about how he has zero free will. I wonder if this is just regular AB repetition, or if LKH likes to linger on this fact particularly? Jake replies that "I have to trust your judgement since I trust you with the pretty kittens." You know, I get why vampires refer to the wereanimals as animals, especially in condescending ways like calling them kittens, but Jake is a werewolf, and he was an Animal to Call himself. Why does he do that? Is it a crab bucket type thing, does he enjoy that 'well I'm a level up from THEIR tier at last' or what? Speaking of that, Anita asks how a werewolf wound up with a bunch of weretigers. He says that he's "known these kittens their whole lives" and thinks they will be safer with Anita. Anita says exactly what I think: "You may be bringing your lambs to the slaughter."
Anita tells him about the assassination attempt on Richard, Jake calls the hit men amateurs, and Anita says she agrees even though she also admits they wouldn't have succeeded if the second bullet had his heart. He agrees with that, and Anita frowns because he says this "like it's no big deal." Anita, why should it be a big deal to him? He doesn't know Richard and has nothing to do with him and was involved with the big bad scary Harlequin, remember? Why should he get choked up talking about how your boyfriend could have died? NOT EVERYONE IS INVESTED IN YOUR PERSONAL LIFE. He tells her he didn't mean it that way and she realizes he sounds tired and has new lines around his eyes. She asks again why he brought the weretigers to her and says she wants the truth. And then we get this.
Jake: "I do think they're safer here with you, but ask me why I think they're safer." You couldn't just TELL HER?
Anita: "Pretend I asked, now answer the question?" You couldn't JUST REALLY ASK?
Jake: "Direct. I like that after dealing with all the old vampires. They're almost never direct."
RRRRGH THIS IS THE STUPIDEST WAY TO HAVE, NO, TO DELAY A CONVERSATION, AND I THINK IT WAS DONE JUST TO SHOEHORN IN THIS COMPLIMENT TO ANITA
Anita says for him to be direct back then if he appreciates it so much. He tells her that these tigers are purebloods. She says that he said they were clanless and that the purebloods all have clans. He says that one color doesn't have a clan. She brings up the blue weretiger, Cynric, but then he says yellow doesn't have a clan. She says that's because the last yellow tiger died here in St. Louis after trying to kill Anita and others. He tells her that this yellow tiger, Soledad, belonged to one of the Harlequin. Anita brings up how it's forbidden to say that word out loud and how doing so could be a death sentence. Is it ever even explained how the Harlequin would know? Anyway, he reminds her that he's the animal to call for one of the Harlequin, and she reminds us about what she said earlier on how most everyone at the Circus seems to have forgotten that as if they were "ordinary humans" that he "mind-fucked" into forgetting. Wait, can therians even do that? I thought rolling was vampire-only territory?
Also, so much for Jake being direct. Anita isn't helping either.
Jake says his master thought it would be better that way. Anita asks if he's contacting them officially. He says "Yes and no. I am here as an agent of some of the Harlequin, but I am not sanctioned by the Council to be in St. Louis."
It has now been an entire page since she told him to be direct on why the tigers are here. We still know nothing. I understand it if he needs to fill Anita in on some background stuff first, but there is no reason that guessing game about the clans had to happen.
Jake gushes about how anyone else would be astonished and asking questions galore about the idea that the Harlequin have broken ties the Council, she says that "we had some remote-viewing visits" from the Council. He asks if she knows what's happening then, she says just to tell him what he knows and she'll tell him what she knows. Ugh this is so painful to read. He tells her that MOAD isn't really dead, she nods, he's like she's visited you then, she says sort of, and Jake explains that when her body was destroyed she sent her essence out and got into some of the Council, as we know. He also says that "Once, so long ago that most do not remember, that was what the Council was, Anita. They would come to sit in their great chairs, but the deep dark secret was, once they took their places on the council the Mother possessed them" and that they "only pretended to vote and be fair; in truth they were all her puppets."
THAT. IS. SO. AWESOME! I LOVE IT! I FUCKING LOVE IT! GO MARMEE! MOTHER KNOWS BEST!
Anita says she's not surprised. Jake says that the Traveller seems free of her and is on the run with his Human Servant, and even the Harlequin don't know where they're hiding. Anita asks if some of the Harlequin are still on her side, and he says that yes, they are at war with each other via "a series of assassinations". Anita asks if he really thinks that her people can hide him and the weretigers from the likes of the Harlequin. He says no, that he's offering them his help, not vice versa. She asks if he thinks the Harlequin (I feel so dumb every time I type that name) will come, he says he knows they will, she asks when, he says it depends on how fast they can kill the ones that want to kill Anita, because "right now they see the other Harlequin was their greatest threat. Once we are neutralized, then they will turn to you." Anita responds that "so it behooves us to help you guys." Jake claims that's not why he's here and that "we will live or die as we always have, by our own hands." You weren't living by your own hands when you were working for the Council, dingus, which up until very recently you had been for a thousand years.
Anita asks what he wants from her lot then. He says that depending on how their feud goes within the group, some will come to St. Louis to aid or spy on Anita & Co while others are just plain neutral because they don't think Anita & Co can be Master of Tigers. I....how is that an answer? That wasn't an answer! She asks if they bugged their phones again, he says no, that their wererats sweep really well for listening devices now (wererats getting stuck with all the unglamorous technical stuff that is essential but thankless, I see, as usual) and Anita says that "once we learn something we don't forget it." Too bad you never learn anything, Anita.
Jake talks for a paragraph about how all the remaining pureblood tigers who aren't white or red belong to the Harlequin as their animals to call because when the MOAD took Vittorio's power away from him, she gave some of that power to the Harlequin and they gained the tigers through that. Okay, cool, that makes sense, though it sucks for the tigers. He says that Cynric is not actually the last blue tiger, that there is one more, one on the side of Anita and Jake, but she's fighting for her life alongside her master and so Cynric may indeed soon be the last blue tiger left in the world because Anita needs all the rarest shinies. Cynric is also never referred to by name in this spiel but only as a "boy" and a "teenager". Ugh. Because we need to be reminded of that.
Anita brings up black tigers, Jake says that they have one and that they used to have two "but when the Father of the Day regained some of his power, he called Sebastian away from us." Remember him? He was Vittorio's estranged tiger to call from Skin Trade. Anita sure remembers him because she feels "a little spurt of anger" over him never telling her he was a Harlequin member "because I had let him go when I could have turned him over to the police, or just kept him." Yes, you are so fucking gracious for not KEEPING another human being as another PET in your sick little sex stable, Anita, he sure owes you for that! That's like saying that I owe my dad for not molesting me growing up just because he could have, what the shit. Not to mention that giving out that information to her, given the nature of the Harlequin, probably could have gotten him a one-way ticket to assassination, and since it wasn't relevant at all, why would he even think to? Ughhhhh Anita has the most bizarre and illogical sense of entitlement EVER.
Jake does a little damage control by saying that "Sebastian was and wasn't one of us" because being bound to Vittorio means that the MOAD didn't trust him even though she allowed him to live, so while Jake and his master kept track of him he was still really on his own. Anita demands that he "tell me who's on our side and who isn't" because I guess she's still peeved about Sebastian not giving her his life story. He says that the master of the other black tiger is not, but that a male gold tiger and his master "have agreed to be on your side if we can prove to them that you can be Master of Tigers."
Anita. As Master of Tigers. As in all tigers? Like Vittorio was? Like Bibi brought up? I think I'm going to weep.
Anita asks how to do that and he says "Funny you should ask" and she gets huffy about his giving an "oblique answer" even though that's what this conversation has been made of from the start. He apologizes, and explains that when the MOAD declared the gold tigers destroyed, some of the Harlequin hid a few, helping them escape into various parts of the world, including America, while they wait for another Master of Tigers, "one who isn't evil." Anita unhelpfully adds "Or a sexual sadist." Thanks, Anita, it's not like 'evil' covers that or anything. Not to mention I honestly find Anita to be something of a sexual sadist. She may not get off on causing pain per se, but she sure gets off on mental enslavement, which is a much deeper violation than just hurting someone's physical body. She wants no resistance, and she effectively lobotimizes men to achieve that. I think if said lobotomy weren't magical, people would definitely class that as sexual sadism, the "serial-killer kind" as Anita would say, obnoxious out-of-place hyphen and all. After all, isn't that what Jeffrey Dahmer tried to do?
Anita says that "the other clans think the gold is destroyed and the strain of lycanthropy inside me is the last remnant of them."
Jake says "They would be wrong."
So basically if Anita can't be the very last gold tiger, she's going to own them instead. And of course it's going to be for their own good and the only way to defeat MOAD, I'm sure.
