Well, H.T. did try to date Sweetheart once upon a time. She almost gave it a shot, then chickened out. Then I think later he was trying to convince her to rule at his side, or some such thing, although that might have been when he was a plant zombie. I think it’s pretty clear that H.T. is sweet on Sweetheart, and always has been.
There can be some doubt about H.T. giving honest anything. The cat is a schemer, a demagogue, and always concerned with his power and stomach, not necessarily in that order.
He may even honestly admire HER, even be romantically interested, but will still always be working some angle. And the angle will ultimately come first.
Even now HT continues to underestimate her. He thinks that a coup can only be pulled off by the military, and fails to realize that 90% of the government, including the military, is bureaucracy. The best person to pull off a coup quickly is a bureaucrat with enough other bureaucrats backing them.
Also militaries ‘generally’ work within the rules, it’s sorta inbred for them.
Whereas bureaucrats interpret the rules and so do anything they want and then justify their actions after the fact with an interpretation of the rules which suit them or make more rules to justify themselves.
TLDR: militaries follow orders, bureaucracies “It’s good to be the king”
So Sweetheart has pulled off a coup. H. T. says “didn’t have it in you.” So is Sweetheart skirting ’cause H. T. is flirting? Like others, they haven’t a clue.
I don’t think we’ve ever figured out how the Lovetron Saucer was provisioned. The Undead aboard would need brains (a Brain-O-Mat?) but all the others would also have to be fed and watered even without special diets.
Haven’t seen any toilets / heads / bathrooms either. Waste disposal might be a problem. When you gotta go, you gotta go.
Maybe if it were a short flight to Lovetron.
Maybe ’cause it’s Pavane behind it, food supplies might run heavy to honey.
Breakfast is your first meal of the day. It doesn’t matter what time of day you have it, or what you eat. For example, it’s currently 3:45pm, and I’m eating burritos from Taco Hole. But technically, I’m eating breakfast, because this is the first I’ve eaten all day.
Of course, that raises the obvious question of how anyone can have two breakfasts in one day.
awgiedawgie, I guess it depends on one’s operational definition of a fast. How long does a fast need to be to be considered a fast? Perhaps, for example, a hobbit might define any time period longer than two hours during which one has not eaten to be a fast.
Looks like Sweetheart can’t handle honest admiration. 🙂

Well, if Nick and Virginia can get together…
Although Unity will always be Sweetheart’s #1, Unity does enjoy wearing tiger ears so there may be some wriggle room for a bit of polyamory…
I don’t really see Sweetheart being into that. Sweetheart seems like the type that, once she’s committed, she’s committed, and that’s that.
Oh, I agree with you, Candace. I was just facetiously suggesting that H.T. might lose his ears if he keeps it up! 😉
There can be some doubt about H.T. giving honest anything. The cat is a schemer, a demagogue, and always concerned with his power and stomach, not necessarily in that order.
Ninja’d.
H.T, has never offered honest anything. He may (in fact probably does) admire Sweetheart’s coup, but if he’s saying it, it’s because he has an angle.
He may even honestly admire HER, even be romantically interested, but will still always be working some angle. And the angle will ultimately come first.
This is true.^
I’d believe he honestly wants brunch. Possibly also elevensies.
Hungry Tiger, indeed.
Once you’ve gone back for seconds in Pittsburgh, a side of beef and ostrich eggs just doesn’t cut it anymore.
He’ll eat anything.
But what about sec- er, Third breakfast?
That’s elevenses.
“We already had one yes, but what about Second Coup?” -H.T.
Perfection
Is it time for elevensies yet?
That’s it, Sweetheart. Play hard to get.
*hobbit voice* “I don’t think she knows about third breakfast”
Even now HT continues to underestimate her. He thinks that a coup can only be pulled off by the military, and fails to realize that 90% of the government, including the military, is bureaucracy. The best person to pull off a coup quickly is a bureaucrat with enough other bureaucrats backing them.
Agreed 100%.

Military coups are not unheard of.
So Sweetheart has pulled off a coup. H. T. says “didn’t have it in you.” So is Sweetheart skirting ’cause H. T. is flirting? Like others, they haven’t a clue.
But who was breakfast?
(…somehow I feel a rant coming on…)

Have them simultaneously
Yeah. I can accept that. And it makes me hungry.

HT needs to say the GD words
“Good Dog”? I’m not sure even that would get him released.
A good scritch behind the ears may work
Or it might get him bitten, if he didn’t ask for permission first.
Duane: It may work for a human or a machine, but, as a tiger, HT doesn’t have the sort of digits he’d need to do that.
I love that the bars of HT’s cage would go nicely with Tigerlily’s dress. Could she please have a disco ball for the conversation pit?
The cage must be made of Space Metal.
