Unsettling Gender-Reveal | |
| Breakfast on Pluto / int_2d409194 | comment |
Unsettling Gender-Reveal: In-Universe. The police take Kitten to hospital after the club she's dancing in is bombed by the IRA. Initially, they're concerned and sympathetic, but as her clothes are cut away in the hospital they realize she's transgender, or "crossdressing". Cue an arrest for terrorism and a series of sensationalist tabloid headlines. Subverted with Bertie, who doesn't take issue with Kitten being transgender. | |

Improvised Weapon | |
| Breakfast on Pluto / int_4de1a4f7 | comment |
Improvised Weapon: When one of Kitten's "clients" tries to kill her, she defeats him by spraying Chanel no. 5 in his eyes. It works, and it's justified by the fact that the chemicals in the perfume would hurt if directly sprayed into one's eyes. Humorously reference later on in a fantasy sequence where secret agent Kitten takes down a hardened IRA cell with her "anti-terrorist spray". | |

Good Girls Avoid Abortion: Charlie travels to London to have an abortion. Kitten accompanies Charlie to the clinic, assuring her that she's making the right decision, fearing the child might end up a "disaster" like Kitten herself. Charlie decides against it at the last second- turns out she wouldn't mind at all if the child ended up like Kitten. | |

Too Dumb to Live | |
| Breakfast on Pluto / int_b58b4e3c | comment |
Too Dumb to Live: Kitten at certain moments, though she often has little choice but to wander into life-threatening situations. Still, her sudden decision to throw Billy Hatchet's guns in the lake was obviously going to have dire consequences. Then again, she was extremely upset at the time due to Lawrence's death and probably wasn't thinking rationally there. Plus, she doesn't ever really seem to quite follow the same logic as the rest of the world. | |

Cloudcuckoolander: Kitten. She often behaves quite bizarrely and has an extremely unique take on the world, building up an elaborate pseudo-mythology around herself. At times, she seems to genuinely believe she’s living a fairy tale (to the point of full-blown Sanity Slippage) but there are moments when she shows real insight into her situation and basically admits that she clings to her fantasies because of the harsh realities of the world that are too painful to confront without some kind of coping mechanism: | |
