Supurr Fluff Smooch's Courtyard Selfie on The Sunday Selfies Blog Hop & Caturday Art Hop

Sunday Selfies Valentine's Banner ©BionicBasil®.jpg

Furbulous Sunday greetings furiends

Welcome to another BBHQ supurr selfie. And this week's selfie star is Smooch.

 Smooch is here braving the icy chill to get the purrfect photo for mew today. And that's why he's looking supurr fluffy! MOL

Supurr Fluff Smooch's Courtyard Selfie

Smooch is such a dude; he loves being outside. That stems from his kittenhood, as he was feral until the P.A. started taming his brothers and sisters at her work.  

When he first arrived at BBHQ after his RTA (road traffic accident, aka hit by a car) and had to stay indoors for quite some time as his purrsonal GPS recalibrated to BBHQ being the new home base, he did get a little grouchy until finally, the P.A. let him outside, and under my expert tutelage and guidance, he soon learned the ropes.

I showed him all the best places to go, and ever since then, he's loved it.

He's the best tripawed dude ever, I have two words for him, and mew know what they are:

EPICALLY EPIC!

We're off to pawtrol the BBHQ perimeter and enjoy some time outdoors as, for the last three days, the temperature has reached a heady 15 degrees Celcius, and even though it's been a bit drizzly on and off, those extra few digits on the thermometer have really made a difference.

Do stop by tomorrow as we're sharing more Colouring with Cats, as we know how much mew love to get your OMs on on a Monday morning!

We do hope mew have an epic day, and remember to always...

**THE PURRMINATOR** **A BRAND NEW B TEAM ADVENTURE FOR 2025** **CHAPTER FOURTEEN**

The Purrminator is an action-packed experience that takes mew on a journey through a world of perilous danger with oodles of excitement, though sometimes in a scary way. With depictions of spine-tingling encounters, the story draws mew in, making mew feel as though mew are right there with young Melvyn, fighting for survival as he's relentlessly hunted by the evil cyborg machines, known as Purrminators, as he tries to find his Great Uncle Basil through time and space. Oh my Cod, will he make it?

HOLD ON TIGHT, GUYS; THIS IS GOING TO BE ONE WILD, FLUFFING ADVENTURE!!!

Chapter Fourteen  

Not The Fluff Again

           A cacophony of roaring winds and shimmering light surrounded Melvyn as he, the M-Unit and the ship tumbled through the vortex. The swirling chaos threatened to tear them apart, fragments of timelines and realities flashing by like shattered dreams. One moment they saw green meadows, the next, burning cities and endless voids.

Nitro clung tightly to Melvyn, his huge paws gripping the kitten over his shoulder. Shadow spun ahead, his expression grim as he attempted to steady himself against the twisting forces.

Vera’s disembodied voice echoed through the maelstrom. “Phase shift incomplete… recalculating destination. Anomalous temporal signature detected. Stand by.”

“Stand by?!” Bomber growled. “We’re about to be turned into cosmic confetti!”

Melvyn gritted his teeth, his paws twitching with instinctive flickers of unstable magic. Despite the overwhelming forces pulling them in every direction, he tried to focus. The vortex responded faintly, its chaotic energies briefly stabilising around them.

“Hold on,” Melvyn rasped, his voice barely audible above the deafening storm.

A sudden flash of light engulfed them, and the chaos vanished.

The world snapped back into focus with a jarring impact. Melvyn was yanked from Nitro's grip by an unseen centrifugal force, and he hit the ground hard, the breath knocked from his lungs. Groaning, he rolled onto his side, his fur singed and crackling with residual magical energy.

Nitro landed with feline grace beside him, though he looked battered. Shadow groaned as he sprawled on a patch of uneven concrete.

“Still alive?” Bomber muttered.

“I’ll have to get back to you on that!” Shadow grimaced at his brother.

“Barely.” Havoc coughed as he rolled over and bumped into Viper.

“For fluffs sake!” Viper grizzled. “Could this mission get any more bizarre?”

“Nope!” Ice said. “And I think it’s about to move up a level.”

“Seriously, can’t we just catch our breath for one minute?” Smoke grunted.

Titan glanced around and then checked his Time Phase Scanner. It beeped pathetically and emitted a low droning hum before it went completely silent. He smacked the scanner repeatedly and cursed loudly. “The fluffing tech is on the fritz again!”

Melvyn forced himself to his paws, his body aching from the ordeal. They stood in the middle of what appeared to be BBHQ—but something was amiss.

The bunker was barely intact, and it just felt… off. And the once-familiar courtyard was eerily silent, the trees devoid of leaves, their twisted branches clawing at the sky. The air felt heavy, filled with a metallic tang that made Melvyn’s fur prickle.

Vera’s hologram flickered into view, her form more solid now. Her expression was grim.

“Welcome to BBHQ… Year: 2033,” she announced, her usual cheery tone still absent.

Bomber’s ears perked up. “We made it back?”

Shadow narrowed his eyes. “No. This isn’t right.”

Melvyn’s senses tingled with unease. The sky above was a sickly hue, and strange, flickering distortions rippled across the landscape.

Vera’s voice was grave. “Temporal signature analysis complete. This is not your 2033.”

A chill ran down Melvyn’s spine. “What do you mean, not our 2033?”

“This timeline has been corrupted,” Vera explained. “Temporal echoes indicate the presence of anomalous forces.” Her hologram shimmered. “We are in another divergent reality.”

Bomber’s tail lashed. “Great. Just great. So now what?”

Before anyone could answer, a distant rumble shook the ground. Melvyn’s ears flicked toward the sound, his heart racing.

Out of the shadows emerged a figure cloaked in darkness. Its eyes glowed with an eerie red light, and an aura of malevolence radiated from it.

“Intruders,” the figure hissed. “You do not belong here.”

Bomber drew his laser sword, his stance poised for battle. “We don’t have time for this.”

The figure’s voice was icy. “Time is meaningless here.” It raised a hand, and tendrils of shadow writhed toward them.

Melvyn’s magic flickered, sputtered, and fizzled out. He gritted his teeth, forcing himself to summon what little energy he had left. The air crackled around him as he formed a shimmering shield.

“We need to regroup,” Bomber said urgently. “Fall back!”

Nitro grabbed Melvyn’s arm, dragging him backward as Shadow and Bomber held off the advancing shadows as they retreated.

Vera’s voice echoed in their ears. “Temporal stability deteriorating. You must find a way to escape.”

Melvyn’s mind raced. The figure’s presence was a manifestation of the timeline’s corruption—a living embodiment of the chaos that had ensnared this reality.

“There has to be a way out of this,” he muttered as Nitro picked him up and ran towards to bunker entrance.

As they retreated deeper across the warped landscape, the ground trembled beneath their paws. Fissures spread like jagged scars, and the sky darkened further.

Vera’s voice grew faint. “Warning… imminent temporal collapse…”

Melvyn’s breath caught in his throat. They were running out of time.

The corrupted figure loomed closer, its laughter echoing through the twisted ruins.

“There is no escape,” it taunted. “Your fate is sealed.”

Melvyn’s resolve hardened. We won’t let this timeline consume us, he thought fiercely. And not after we just fell through that rift and survived.

As they reached the crumbling remnants of what had once been the bunker entrance, Vera’s flickering hologram appeared one last time.

“You have to leave now,” she said.

Melvyn met Ice’s gaze. His eyes blazed with determination.

“Then we leave,” he said.

Havoc rasped. “No pressure or anything.” And he pointed towards the damaged ship. 

Bomber looked at his once sleek and epically epic ship and let out a slow breath. "That isn't going anywhere again, is it?"

"That's so fluffing typical!" Ice said. "Now there's no way to escape."

The ground trembled violently, and a deafening crack split the air.

Melvyn’s fur stood on end as a vortex of energy spiralled before them. Tendrils of shadow writhed within it, and the corrupted figure emerged once more, its eyes gleaming with malevolent triumph.

“This world will consume you,” it whispered.

In the next second, Astrid, who'd been offline and conspicuously absent since before the telephone box was loaded into the M-Unit's ship, voice rang out. "What the fluff are we doing in this timeline, guys? We need to go now!" 

The Time Travelling Telephone Box materialised in front of the bunker entrance just as the vortex exploded outward, and everything went white.

**AND CUT**

Guys, mew know how we roll; so many apologies once again to cut it right there, but we will say, mew'll never guess what happens next - sorry to be a supurr dreadful tease! MOL

If mew would like to read Chapter Fifteen, let us know in the comments as we're on the home stretch... maybe! MOL MOL

The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up ~ Fudge's Fleeting Sunspot, Smooch's Sheltered Sunspot, Parsley Taking Five In The Courtyard, and Melvyn's Wearing This Weeks Top Pick Bandana

Midweek News Valentine's Banner 2025 ©BionicBasil®

Epic Wednesday Greetings Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!

How's your week going? 

We don't know about mew, but the cold has been insidious the last week or two. The kind of cold that leaches what tiny amount of body heat mew are holding onto and then permeates your being to the very core with icy tendrils, leaving mew feeling akin to an ice cube. We have to say, we aren't loving it at all on any level, where the fluff is Spring?

We have had some rather brief sunny intervals and a bit of blue sky, which Fudge and Smooch are modelling below, but even then, the sun really wasn't dialled up to our desired level of warms. In fact, it was like the lights were on, but the heat pump was on the fritz. Very disappointing indeed! MOL

Is it too much to ask for a nice clement 22 to 24 degrees Celcius? APPARENTLY, IT IS! 

**APOLOGIES**

We have to apologise for missing everypawdy's blog hops a couple of weeks ago. Last week, we did get the links in the hops but didn't get to comment on some blogs:- because after we'd visited Cat on My Head on Sunday morning something happened to the PC monitor, it kept flickering, then going black, and it was really strange so the PC then had to spend all of Sunday in clean up, defrag, debug and then scan mode. 

So many apologies for that; we'll endeavour to find a bit more time this week to catch up with mew all, stop by and say hi.

Anyhoo, let's look at what the heathens have been up to this week.

First up in the news 

 Fudge's Fleeting Sunspot


The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up ©BionicBasil® Fudge's Fleeting Sunspot

Yesterday, Fudge found this tiny patch of sunshine to try and warm him up for about two seconds. He then said, "Fluff this cold, I'm going back inside."

Mew know it's cold when Fudge doesn't want to stay outside.

Next up in the news

 Smooch's Sheltered Sunspot


The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up ©BionicBasil® Smooch's Sheltered Sunspot

Smooch was a bit luckier on Monday as he found this spot to enjoy a few pitiful warms. 

He didn't last long here before he moved back indoors.

 Parsley Taking Five In The Courtyard

Parsley headed off into the courtyard after Sunday lunch and got on the bench; he wasn't there long. Yep, mew guessed it, it was too fluffing cold! MOL

And finally this week

Melvyn's Modelling The Top Bandana Pick


This week mew chose: The White Hearts with glitter ribbon, and Melvyn loves it!

The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up ©BionicBasil® Melvyn Modelling The White hearts with glitter ribbon

Sorry, there's no video this week; we are in a bit of a flux situation with social media. If we're honest, we detest it with a passion, so going forward at the moment, we are abandoning the video thing.

However, Melvyn says, if mew really, really, really want to see him on the BBHQ catwalk, do let us know, and we'll make it happen.
