Poppy's Sanctuary AU: Magic!

Prompt given to me by @jyoungbloodvo , who plays Felis Moonclaw!~

In this piece, Felis is watching as his father (unironically named Theodore) produces magic in front of his eyes to soothe him after a nightmare~ And as Felis matured and became more powerful, he followed in his father's footsteps as a magic user among the cosmos.

Bubbavember Day 16: Ship!

A ship between left brain and right brain.

Bonus: A oneshot I wrote last month that I'll just drop here. Picture is kind of related.

New Accessory:

Craftycorn trotted into the living room, her hooves tapping lightly as she hummed to herself. Already she was thinking about a new project. She was in the middle of undoing her apron when she spotted Bubba lounging on the couch, casually flipping through an old magazine. But something about him made her pause. Her eyes narrowed in on something gleaming under the light.

"Bubba... is that... an earring?!" she asked, she almost sounded happily aghast.

Bubba’s elephant ears flopped as he perked up, his trunk swayed nervously.

"Uh... yeah. You noticed, huh?" he said with a sheepish grin.

Craftycorn crept closer, peering at the small, shiny hoop dangling from his right ear. "Well, obviously I noticed. It’s hard to miss something hanging off an ear that big!" she teased, giving his ear a playful flick. "But Bubba, since when are you into piercings?"

Bubba fidgeted, rubbing the back of his head. "Oh, you know, I just… thought I’d try something new. Been wanting to for a while."

Crafty raised an eyebrow, her lips curving into a mischievous smile. "Uh-huh, sure. It wouldn’t have anything to do with the fact that Simon Smokes has a whole collection of earrings, would it?" she said, tilting her head slyly. "You trying to outdo my ex?"

Bubba’s ears turned pink as he waved his trunk frantically. "What? No! I—I mean, maybe a little? I thought you might think it was cool or something… like, you know, Simon did it, and—"

Craftycorn interrupted him with a soft giggle. "Bubba, you’re adorable. But I don’t care about stuff like that." She leaned in to nuzzle his cheek. "I like you just the way you are, big ears and all."

Bubba blinked, his whole face relaxing as a wave of relief washed over him. "Oh, phew. I was kinda worried about that."

Crafty pulled back with a curious look. "Though, I have to ask... why’d you do it then, if not for me or because of Simon?"

Bubba grinned shyly. "Well, truth is, I’ve always thought my ears were large even for a guy my size—so I figured, why not decorate them a little? I kinda like the look."

Craftycorn blinked in surprise, then broke into a bright smile. "You know what? I love that! You should totally rock the earring, Bubba. It suits you."

Bubba beamed, it was a big genuine smile. His trunk gave her a playful boop on the nose. "Yeah? I’m glad you think so."

Crafty giggled, flicking his ear gently again. "Now if you get a second one, we might need to start calling you Bubba Bling-a-phant!"

Bubba let out a deep laugh that Crafty could feel vibrate in her chest as she draped herself against his shoulders. "Don’t tempt me, Crafty. I’ve already been eyeing a matching set."

"Oooh, is one of them for me?" Crafty leaned in closer, her eyes shining at the idea. "Bubba, please?"

"Of course!" Bubba laughed. "Help me pick a good color."

Craftycorn hesitated for a moment, then glanced at his trunk, her gaze glinted with something mischievous. "Hey… Bubba… have you ever considered getting a nose ring?"

Bubba froze, then slowly turned to look at her, an amused grin spreading across his face. "Crafty… just how long have you been thinking about me getting a nose ring? Or—wait—" He flexed his trunk dramatically. "Are we talking multiple nose rings here? I mean, I’ve got a lot of nose to work with!"

Craftycorn’s face turned bright red, and she stumbled over her words. "Wha—no! I mean, just… one nose ring. Just one! That’s it!"

Bubba chuckled, his ears did a happy flap as he flipped a page in the magazine to a spread of nose ring designs. "Well, well. Let’s see what we’ve got here, then. Pick one out for me, Crafty."

Crafty groaned, doubling over in embarrassment, covering her face with a hoof. "You’re impossible, Bubba."

Bubba’s laugh filled the room as he held the magazine up for her to inspect, his trunk playfully nudging her shoulder. "Impossible? Or impossibly stylish?"

The only answer he got was a muffled laugh as Crafty buried her face in her hooves.

Fic is a sequel to this:

AAAAAH!!! I MADE AN ANIMATION!!! ☆

I'm not the best at it, but I've been picturing Bubba with this song for 2 weeks. No reason at all. I just think it gives a nostalgic feeling hearing it after so long.

I'm starting to get used to animating, editing, and getting to know the process better! And I LOVE IT!!! ♡♡♡

Won't be animating for a while after this though. Lol. Took me 6 hours.

Enjoy it, Cookies!!! 🍪

Bubbavember Day 4 & 11 : Dogday and Reaction to Spider

They both love bug hunting.

Spoiler alert: Neither of them got to take the spider home.

For a minute I thought this was the first time I've ever drawn a poppy playtime character who isn't a smiling critter but I forgot Bunzo isn't a critter lol. But its my first time drawing Mommy LL and I'm kinda proud of it.

10 Non-Lethal Injuries to Add Pain to Your Writing

If you need a simple way to make your characters feel pain, here are some ideas: 

1. Sprained Ankle

A common injury that can severely limit mobility. This is useful because your characters will have to experience a mild struggle and adapt their plans to their new lack of mobiliy. Perfect to add tension to a chase scene.

2. Rib Contusion

A painful bruise on the ribs can make breathing difficult, helping you sneak in those ragged wheezes during a fight scene. Could also be used for something sport-related! It's impactful enough to leave a lingering pain but not enough to hinder their overall movement.

3. Concussions

This common brain injury can lead to confusion, dizziness, and mood swings, affecting a character’s judgment heavily. It can also cause mild amnesia.

I enjoy using concussions when you need another character to subtly take over the fight/scene, it's an easy way to switch POVs. You could also use it if you need a 'cute' recovery moment with A and B.

4. Fractured Finger

A broken finger can complicate tasks that require fine motor skills. This would be perfect for characters like artists, writers, etc. Or, a fighter who brushes it off as nothing till they try to throw a punch and are hit with pain.

5. Road Rash

Road rash is an abrasion caused by friction. Aka scraping skin. The raw, painful sting resulting from a fall can be a quick but effective way to add pain to your writing. Tip: it's great if you need a mild injury for a child.

6. Shoulder Dislocation

This injury can be excruciating and often leads to an inability to use one arm, forcing characters to confront their limitations while adding urgency to their situation. Good for torture scenes.

7. Deep Laceration

A deep laceration is a cut that requires stitches. As someone who got stitches as a kid, they really aren't that bad! A 2-3 inch wound (in length) provides just enough pain and blood to add that dramatic flair to your writing while not severely deterring your character.

This is also a great wound to look back on since it often scars. Note: the deeper and wider the cut the worse your character's condition. Don't give them a 5 inch deep gash and call that mild.

8. Burns

Whether from fire, chemicals, or hot surfaces, burns can cause intense suffering and lingering trauma. Like the previous injury, the lasting physical and emotional trauma of a burn is a great wound for characters to look back on.

If you want to explore writing burns, read here.

9. Pulled Muscle

This can create ongoing pain and restrict movement, offering a window to force your character to lean on another. Note: I personally use muscle related injuries when I want to focus more on the pain and sprains to focus on a lack of mobility.

10. Tendonitis

Inflammation of a tendon can cause chronic pain and limit a character's ability to perform tasks they usually take for granted. When exploring tendonitis make sure you research well as this can easily turn into a more severe injury.

This is a quick, brief list of ideas to provide writers inspiration. Since it is a shorter blog, I have not covered the injuries in detail. This is inspiration, not a thorough guide. Happy writing! :)
