and the caption Batrick??? and my mind just went EEEK!!
So this is how it goes, okay:
In a world where Pete is a vampire but Patrick is the one that transforms into a bat (and this has nothing to do with vampires, funnily enough), this pure white creature with liquid, glittering, possessed-by-a-demon-eyes is Batrick.
Batrick is the most awkward bat ever.
Batrick is also the fluffiest looking and yet the grumpiest (occasionally even the meanest, but only ever accidentally) bat you’ll ever encounter.
He screeches right next to Joe’s ear because a cat scared him.
He manages to tangle himself into Andy’s hair (he doesn’t mean to! he overestimated his landing zone!) and rips out a clawful of hair by the roots.
He bites Pete’s fingers/ears/nose/neck/whichever-body-part-is-closest if he annoys him. (Pete annoys him a lot.)
(We don’t talk about the fact that Pete gets the short stick of this gig by virtue of Patrick hanging out around him literally all the time; he sticks to Pete like a little limpet because that’s where he feels the safest, tiny and easily flustered as he is.)
He tumbles off the desk because he isn’t paying attention, and manages to actually plonk to the floor because he forgot he can fly.
He looks like a little angel, posing so daintily, showing off his white fur and wings, while his eyes tell you “come closer, look into my eyes, isn’t it just like looking into the abyss, and the abyss looking back”?
(He’s a complicated little bat, he contains multitudes, okay?)
(Also, Pete’s dramatics rubbed off on him.)
(If only I had a pic of an actual white bat and not a plushie lolol.)
ETA: I couldn’t resist, so here are pictures of a white honduran bat (googled):
The first one is hilarious, but the second one is totally Batrick, I mean, look at this:
It’s the same picture.
(Sorry I cropped you out, Elton, I’m making a point here.)
(I love you all this is amazing askdjfjjskadjd 😭🤣🦇💗)
