English ain't my first language, but I've often seen “cleaning” being used without a direct object, either because it's implied (“put away after cleaning”) or because the action is meant to be generic and not limited to a specific object (“I'm going to do some cleaning”)... in this case it could be both (specific: the cat itself, or specific parts thereof, generic: the cat itself, the other cat, the coach, anything within reach; cats can often get carried away, when cleaning).

Ears forward. Eyes half closed. No teeth to be seen.. I don't think the video has audio, but probably purring like a lawnmower.

That cat is chill as fuck, and loves the little human.

Unamused cat would have its ears back. Nervous or hostile cat would have its eyes open. Annoyed cat would be batting that kid like they would an annoying kitten. Really annoyed and nervous cat would be hissing, and probably already out of the chair and hidden somewhere the baby couldn't reach.

Cyberpunk 2020 / RED ..?

The images don't seem to be a sequence. And there's clearly no spike on the bottom of the shield in the last picture, so it must be inside the top dwarf's chest.

The top dwarf in the bottom right picture is clearly impaled on the bottom dwarf's shield spike... 🤔🤨

That cat was seeing a bird or bird equivalent when the picture was taken. It was almost certainly chirping, and probably wiggling its butt, preparing to pounce.

Sir Terry Pratchett's Discworld's wizards are sort of like this, at least once Mustrum Ridcully becomes archchancellor, and especially once they built their magic Rube Goldberg style supercomputer Hex.

That's the neat part: you don't.

Kilgrave was indeed something else (I'd say that Tennant managed to make him significantly more intimidating than the original), but he's also absolutely terrifying as the Doctor, when he stops trying not to be. And as someone else pointed out Good Omens' Crowley can be pretty intimidating when he wants to.

Tennant is actually very good at playing intimidating characters.

The Doctor also regularly intimidates whole alien galactic empires and eldritch abominatios from beyond space and time. By just standing there, talking. And pointing out he's doing so without having a single weapon on him. Tennant was great at that.

“Don't play games with me. You just killed someone I liked. That is not a safe place to stand. I'm the Doctor! You're in the biggest library in the universe. Look me up.”
