omg yes they do... honestly the fact that I didn't put their names in the OP to begin with... didn't wanna doxx my own cats i guess 🙄🙄🙄

Cat #1 is named Lincoln! aka Stinko Linko/Big Orange/Ginger Beef/Turkey Tom. Like the Great Emancipator, he is a large presence with an unusually high pitched voice and likely gay tendencies.

Cat #2 is Basil, aka Thumbelina/Muppet Mouth/Bazzamatazz/Le Bazz Hot/Bazzberry. (those last few nicknames only rly make sense if you pronounce her name with a short A sound like I do.)

I can't take credit for either of their names bc those were the names that they had at the respective shelters I adopted them from -- both names just seemed to suit them so well! Lincoln even recognized his own name when I got him so it seemed especially unfair to do that to him!

My fellow tea lover!!! It's been so long!! Steep anything good lately?

oakreef! it's been far too long but some part of my lizard brain still recognizes the names from all the way back when!

hope you're doing well! <3

howdy! thank you for the warm welcome! :^) <3

thank you!!!! i'm so happy so much of the core crew is still here

also I mentioned this in another comment but when I opened this site for the first time one of the first things I saw was your doob wafuke post and it made me crack tf up -- thefempire.org may now be a thing of the past but its memes are eternal. i feel like i've come home <3 <3 <3

I recently just signed up for discord so I'm trying to get the hang of it!! my screenname there is thiccan420

it's good to see another familiar name kicking around here... remember it's not abt the frequency of the posts it's about the spirit of posting <3 fempire taught me that

(also omg I saw that you took the time to remake the selfcare subforum and post self care sundays... touched beyond belief :') )

hope you're well pal!

YOU'RE THE WHOLE REASON FOR THIS DEV

I was getting nostalgic (and a little drunk) and thinking abt how much I missed thefempire... an oasis in a sea of internet garbage... and some googling led to your twitter, which had a link to this site! and now here we are!

ngl i still can't help but think of u specifically when i see a corgi out and about... your Impact is immense

Emily! We absolutely still are tumblr mutuals (I actually checked not too long ago bc I realized I hadn't seen ya on my dash in a bit and saw you had taken a break -- which I fully understand bc this is clearly the superior posting platform)

I am still on the site and still absolutely clogging people's dashes with hot takes and my refusal to use the queue function.

There's a couple of fempire alum still posting from time to time but it's definitely not the same!

<3 <3 <3

the timing is actually weirdly perfect bc I finally made a discord account just a week-ish ago for a DnD campaign I'm doing with some pals. still super new to the platform but very open to connections! :)

You can find me on the just post discord under thiccan420! (i'm the one w/ the beefy garfield icon lmao) -- feel free to say hello! :)

I had no idea! had a brief hiatus due to some personal life stuff and when I went to check up on the fempire it was gone!

honestly discovering this incarnation has made my heart sing -- seeing so many familiar names still kicking around felt like running into a friend I hadn't seen in years!

(also it KILLED me when I opened the front page and saw a doob wafuke post... some things never change)

so glad to be back in the fold <3
