The other day, I decided I wanted a spiffy new header image so I pulled out various items with the idea that I could arrange a still life. It would be a nice casual arrangement of things related to my life and my identity that would look arty and cool like the stuff I see on Tumblr*.
I had momentarily forgotten about the OTHER thing you see all over the internet.
Snacks? Any snacks? Asking for a friend.
Somehow, despite having about 20 or so cats**, I rarely post pictures of them. They feel left out. So Azrael (seen above) decided there was NO WAY he was going to let me neglect him.
He knows he’s handsome.
I decided to get a few pictures of him, because – well, look at him.
Go ahead and try this at home if you want. But be prepared for some singed whiskers.
He really did not want to move, so I went ahead and set stuff up around him.
Not just a handsome man, but the *most* handsome man.
And then I told him he HAD TO move, since even though I love cats and sex toys, having them in the same picture seemed a little creepy.
“Hey mom, what’s going on here?”
So I tried to get a picture while he was out of the frame. And, being a cat, he knew this and refused to stay out of the frame.
Fine, I’ll crop it. We’re done here.
Finally, I got this one, and realized that blurry ears in the corner was the smallest amount of cat that was going to be possible and called it a day. Sure, I could have locked him out of the room, but I’m not a monster. And that is your exclusive behind-the-scenes look at my creative process, and Azrael’s part in it.
Stay tuned next week for “Oh God, How is There Cat Hair on This Dildo Already I Just Washed it?!?!?!?” (part 1 in a 34987 part series)
*OR SO I THOUGHT
**This is a slight exaggeration. Maybe.
