The Sunday Selfies and Caturday Art Blog Hops at BBHQ **FEATURING** Wing Commander Basil's Locked and Loaded Selfie

 A bright, cheerful collage featuring four cats surrounded by colourful summer flowers including daisies, sunflowers, and lupines. The cats include an orange tabby, a black cat with a blue butterfly perched on its nose, a white cat with grey markings, and another white cat with darker markings. Above them hangs a decorative banner reading “Sunday Selfies ©BionicBasil®,” with bunting flags and string lights adding to the festive feel. Scattered around the scene are black‑and‑white Polaroid‑style snapshots of other cats, creating a playful, nostalgic atmosphere for BBHQ’s July Sunday Selfies.

A pawesome selfie starring the legendary Wing Commander Basil. Mission-ready, dangerous as fluff, and always prepared for the next Basilverse adventure! MOL

Butterflies in various colours flutter above the dense blooms, creating a lively, cheerful meadow atmosphere. The composition is bright, lush, and full of movement, evoking a warm July day in a flourishing garden.

Meowvellous greetings, pawesome furiends

Welcome to BBHQ on this delightful Sunday!

And this week, as I haven't been the star of the show for a while, I thought I'd share my new pawtrait. Yep, this is what I look like mission-ready. Dangerous as fluff, and the epically epic commander I am! MOL

Wing Commander Basil's Locked and Loaded Selfie

A bright red beret with a paw-print insignia sits atop the cat's head, matching a red collar with a small bell. The cat holds a large scoped tactical rifle across its chest while staring directly at the viewer with green eyes and a calm, determined expression. Paw-print emblems decorate the shoulder armour. Behind the cat, ruined industrial buildings, smoke, glowing embers, and a fiery orange sky create a cinematic battlefield atmosphere.

Mew know, we've been writing The Basilverse for over 14 years, serialising 10 B Team adventure stories including Amber's Dear Prudence Saga.

There's a new one being written now that is hilarious, and hopefully we can start to share it in August. The P.A. just needs to get a couple more chapters written, so she's not under pressure to write a chapter a week like she usually does; she can get a few done ahead of the launch, and then we can start serialising again.

OH MY COD ~ HOW EXCITING? 

EPICALLY EXCITING! MOL

Guys, just know we write these stories for mew, for your enjoyment, and just because the P.A. laughs her socks off when writing them doesn't change the fact that, primarily;

THEY ARE FOR MEW!!!

We'll let mew know when it's going to go live, and just a little teaser, the title is so much fuch, can mew guess?A vibrant summer garden scene filled with colourful wildflowers in shades of yellow, pink, purple, blue, and red.
