she's just a little kretchur
Okay, so a thought that has been rattling around for a bit and I need to share. Do the Takers also take the memories and personality of the bodies they possess or do they observe how they act before proceeding? I haven't seen any mention or talks about sudden changed in personality or memory loss, not even mentioned as something cats realized in hindsight. I feel like I'm on to something and if I am, that just makes everything more terrifying in my eyes.

Very good point! In the beginning they didn't, which is another reason they couldn't stay hidden— but after one or two were outed because they acted too different too suddenly they adapted and changed.
Takers went after elderly, sick or kittens, a group that if they withdrew for a while and slowly started to change personalities it wasn't as easy to catch. They just became calmer and quieter. But that obviously didn't last because their bodies didn't age.
I want to be known: the Takers adapt very very fast! 2 got figured out because they acted too different too fast? Everyone changes the game. Can't take the usual game because it's noticeable? We go after the sick then.
The Takers nowadays do observe for a bit (a bit being hours but never more than a day), they also take context clues from the cats around them— but ultimately they're withdrawn and quiet if they did a full body take. The patchwork takers have no such boundaries, they consider themselves as new and act however they please.
The reason Cicada was discovered was because she was walking around with a broken back and because she couldn't hold a conversation without a grin. The living Cicada was soft and gentle, she also took her health very seriously. So she was an easy spot.
Fun thing that will never be brought up in the story but people might like to know!
Glowfern died naturally on her way home. Takers are not gentle, they can't sufficiently kill a cat without leaving marks, overkilling, or doing something that a normal cat wouldn't just walk off. Glowfern had been stalked by a Taker periodically in her time in Chasingclan. She never saw it but she did feel it, this is why she left earlier than she had planned. She never saw the Taker till near the rift, in which it couldn't hide in the shorter grass — she got so scared that she messed up her jump over the rift and broke her neck. The Taker simply took the opportunity presented.
HEY, FELLOW HATERS OF INSANELY-BRIGHT CAR HEADLIGHTS, SOMEONE HAS STARTED A PETITION TO REGULATE THEM.
It's an official petition through the Australian Government's e-petition page, which means if it gets enough signatures, it will be tabled in government.
You do have to be an Australian citizen to sign it, BUT!!! PLEASE REBLOG THIS EVEN IF YOURE NOT, because these kind of things have a roll-on effect, and if Australia legislates LED headlights, then other countries may follow.
FYI, the petition asks only for your name and email, and once you've clicked the sign button, they'll send you an email to confirm your signature --- you need to click the confirmation link in the email to have your signature counted.
Posting faggot and queer like 2am gunshots to keep property values on my blog low and scare away assimilationist LGBTs who want to replace my empty lot full of native wildflowers with a 5-over-1 because they're too traumatized by their upbringing to accept the reality of our diverse marginalized community

I did a very quick, sketchy comic because I was extremely inspired by this post. (Credit to @pinkdiamondprince for the original post.)
The entire analogy was just fantastic and so, so accurate, and I wanted to make a comic for it, even if it’s very sketchy because my attention span is nil.
Question: The songs in the playlist that represent specific moments from the comic include songs that represent scenes that haven’t happened yet?
Oh, fun question. Let me see:
Looking at the list, it seems these are the only two that would be spoilers! Everything else is something I could speak on.
Here's the playlist:
