#(LOUIE.) ''My soul-mending uncle. To recapture long-forbidden fun was your mission.''

@flcwerpcwered Liked for a Starter!

     “Uncle Louie! Look at the upgrade Dew has!” Dew the white, stuffed, coolness enhancer-sporting bear had a new head accessory, now owning a space helmet of his own that definitely was not just a fish bowl she found lying around the ship! But he did look pretty cute, all properly prepared for deep space travel and stuff. 

     “He’s ready to go into space with you and Mr. Olimar! He’s really good with treasure finding, y’know. One time, he was under the couch, but really he was just looking for the TV remote for us! It was in his hand when I helped him out! Think of all the pokos he could make you two on your trip! Think the President would get off of your back if he helped out?” O-Oh. Well, the fun-loving demeanor of the little girl vanished for that last sentence, room getting a bit colder for a split second before returning back to its regular temperature. Face swapped back from its sneer to its regular smile, thrusting Dew toward Louie. “Well? Whaddya think?”

HC for the Space Gramps and Bug Uncle?

Headcanons!

     Lilly watched a lot of television when she was alive, and since she had no grandfather figure in her life, the ones portrayed on her screen is what she had her basis of them on. Because of those beliefs, she often expects Olimar to have butterscotch candies, along with a cane and wise wisdom. He’s a pretty smart guy, and he’ll sometimes have candy, but she’s missed out on the cane part, so far. Maybe he just doesn’t use it too often?

     Her thoughts on Louie are totally un-uncle-ish, though. Whatever preset thoughts come with uncles. She’s constantly terrified he’s gonna get himself hurt, what with the trouble she’s seen him get into. And has been told he’s been involved with. She’s set herself up as his little defender, looking keen on keeping from any danger she sees. Often hopping in front of him with hands and legs splayed out far and wide if a particularly dangerous-looking bee floats around him. Maybe even blowing a cold puff of air to shoo it off. It’s safe to say she’s outright stolen some silly traits from Bug Uncle.

"You don't remember your birthday?" Louie frowned at first... but he quickly replaced it with a smile. There was a simple solution to this! "Hey, no problem. We can share mine. We'll throw a party on the ship for both of us--cake, ice cream, candy, the works. What do you think?" Regardless of her answer, he's already planning it. There won't be any sad nieces on this uncle's watch.

     “Nmn.” a small shake of the head. She wasn’t even sure what the things entailed. The ones on T.V. always had entire cities partying for one person, and sounded, well, one: overwhelming. But two: nifty! To have something like a holiday all to yourself. But then Uncle made a proposition.

     “Wait, really? You can…can you do that? I guess with so many people in the world, there’s bound to be a lot of people with similar birthdays, yeah! Oh, I share a birthday with my most favorite uncle ever!!” Fist pumps! Sweet! “Can we make the cake ourselves, Uncle? Please, oh please can we? Cooking is fun with you, but baking is even better!!”

"What'd you think? Did you have fun today, Lills?" Louie hoped that would be the case... though, after all of the cake they'd eaten, and all of the (barely working) 'Bintemdo' games they'd played, he couldn't see how she wouldn't have. "Oh, wait, before I forget--I got you a little gift." Inside of the box, Lilly would find a plush bear... wearing a pair of Coolness Enhancers. Of course.

     “Oh, I had fun, alright! I’m always having fun when I’m with you! And it’s all the better on such a special day! It’s not every day you get to eat cake in such huge amounts!” Despite many of the games they played together bugging out half-way in, resulting in another glitchy mess of a game to follow, everything had a special charm to it. It wasn’t ‘silly ol’ uncle got a knock-off console’, it was ‘Her silly ol’ Uncle that spent the entire day next to her side, making her laugh until she was too tired to do so anymore.’ Every giggle was quickly cut off by a yawn, anyway. And the cake was phenomenal, as expected. Anything made by her Uncle was phenomenal, after all. Oh! That went double for gifts!

     An exciting draw of “Oooo!” hung from Lilly, eyes glittering at the sight of a box. Her first present! She couldn’t believe this was happening! It all felt so surreal…Yet it was right in front of her, to her disbelief. Still, she pulled off the box’s top and immediately stared in silence with a mouth dropped open. Hands slowly lifted the cutest and simultaneously coolest bear she’d ever seen in her life, then gently brought it into her chest, legs naturally wrapping around it while arms did the same.

     “I’m going to love and cherish this cool bear forever and nobody can stop me.” Was said in a hushed whisper, snow-white hair already draping over its body as she rested her head on its. “Thank you so much, Uncle. I hope you had just as good a birthday as I did.” Lilly scooched over, taking the arms off the bear to sling them around Louie in a surprisingly warm hug.

// ☆ It's a recipe out of a cookbook, but that counts as a bedtime story, right?

☆ - Reading to them || Send something in!

     Now, Lilly had no qualms about the bedtime reading material her uncle picked out every night. Whatever he found acceptable, she’d be okay with…but when it made the entity that couldn’t feel hunger do to her lack of proper insides suddenly have a craving for food? That’s when she drew the line.

     “Uncleeeeee.” she whined. “You’re gonna make me go to sleep hungry if you keep this up! Can’t you, like, read an actual story? We already spent a good chunk of the day watching the cooking channel. Could we maybe do something that doesn’t directly involve food?”
