Heyy i saw ur post abt potentially crocheting around usb cable chargers, and wanted to let you know that this can be a fire hazard. Because the cable is covered you cant check if the cable is damaged. Usb cable are low voltage so the risk is lower than normal cables, but its still there

That's part of why I mentioned being picky about my USB cables; it's all too easy to break the manufacturer-supplied cheaply made plastic-covered cables that typically have minimal or no strain reliever between the plug heads and the cord. I have had so many USB cords die over the last decade or so because normal daily use caused the cord to start coming apart at the join. Once that happens the crochet would be wasted since it's not like you can transfer it to a new cord.

Also, this is the style of cord I use now:

A nice long integrated strain reliever plus a woven cord cover that you'd need to physically cut to cause it to split (and is supposedly made of bulletproof fibre so it's not easy to wear through or cut). These suckers last, I still have my initial set of three micro USB cables, in pretty much perfect condition, that have seen years of use (I still have some older devices that need that plug shape) plus a more recently purchased set of USB-C cables. Even the cable that sees the hardest use (used for recharging my tablet while reading in bed, which is what most often killed the manufacturer-supplied cords) still looks in perfect condition.

I think I mostly just want what I was originally looking at, which is crocheted vines/garlands that I can wrap along the top bar of my metal bed frame. The covered cables look pretty, but the yarn would probably pick up dust and stains over time and wouldn't be removable for cleaning, unlike the garland which I could just hand wash, or even toss in the laundry in a small mesh bag.

Cold Moon - December 14-15 2024

Bundle up, witches! It’s time for the Cold Moon!

Cold Moon

The Cold Moon is the name given to the full moon which occurs in the month of December. This will be another month when the moon appears full for two nights in a row, so we’ll have a nice bright full moon in the sky for the 14th and the 15th, with peak illumination on Dec 15th at 4:02am EST.

Like most full moon names, the Cold Moon takes its’ moniker from an English translation of a traditional name used by one or more North American indigenous groups. There are a number of indigenous names that reference the wintry conditions when this moon occurs, including Snow Moon (Haida, Cherokee), Winter Moon (Tunica-Biloxi), Hoar Frost Moon (Cree), and Long Night Moon (Mohican). More evocative names include Frost Exploding Trees Moon (Cree) and Moon of the Popping Trees (Oglala), both of which refer to a phenomenon which occurs during extreme cold, when the sap inside a tree freezes and the expanding pressure causes portions of the bark or even entire limbs to “pop” with loud cracking sounds that can be heard for miles.

Other names for the December moon include Yule Moon (Norse origins), Oak Moon (Celtic origins), and Bitter Moon (Chinese origins).

What Does It Mean For Witches?

The year is winding down. It’s time to wrap up our projects and put aside what we haven’t finished or no longer need. Rather than berating ourselves for the things we didn’t finish or didn’t accomplish, this is a time to give ourselves some grace and celebrate our successes and triumphs and the things we DID accomplish.

With only one page left on the calendar, many of us are already looking ahead to the new year, making plans and setting goals. This is a good time to brainstorm and engage in a bit of broad-view planning. Sketch out the things you’d like to see or do or try in the new year. Give voice to your dreams and start thinking of ways to make them happen.

The Cold Moon also falls shortly before the winter solstice this year (Dec 21), which could be a boon for anyone looking to time their seasonal rituals in optimal fashion. A working could be begun on the full moon and built up to culminate on the solstice, or whichever post-moon December date has special meaning to you and your practice.

What Witchy Things Can We Do?

Have a small supper gathering with friends or family (holiday themed or not, it’s up to you) to share joys and fellowship and enjoy good food and drink. Make wishes together for the new year. (Wish jars can be done individually or as an informal group ritual. Sharing wishes anonymously can be a fun party game.) A “White Elephant” gift exchange or swap meet with inexpensive or homemade witchy goods for your circle could be fun too!

Make a wish jar for the new year and put it out to charge under the Cold Moon. Cleanse any of your tools or crystals or accoutrements that you use moonlight for one more time this year.

This is the perfect time for divinations and goalsetting for the coming year. Pull out your favorite divination tools and your new planner and sketch out the coming year. You can also try candle wax divination with holiday candles, if that’s something that interests you.

Also, save those seasonal bayberry candles for future use! They’re great for debt repayment and money-drawing spells.

If you need some ideas for a fun family activity, you can feed the birds for good luck, either with scattered birdseed or pinecone birdfeeders. String dried fruit slices, cinnamon sticks, pinecones, holly leaves and berries, and other seasonal faves to make garlands. Stick apples or oranges or clementines full of cloves in pretty patterns to make pomanders.

Use those fibre arts skills to create a special piece to keep your home warm and safe and well-supplied until spring. It doesn’t have to be anything big - a simple weaving or single square will do. Crochet or cut out snowflakes for your home decor. If you want to get fancy, pick up a ball of cotton warp thread and look for old doily patterns - they look great as hoop weavings hung on the wall (or make a witch web in winter colors).

Make one more batch of moonwater to carry you through to the new year. If it happens to snow or freeze where you live, you can save clean snow or icicles for special (non-drinkable) elemental water, which can be a fun base for moonwater as well.

And speaking of elements, make sure to remember in all your seasonal decorating that fire safety is paramount. Be careful with your candles, warmers, light strings, plugs, extension cords, and cables. DO NOT “daisy chain” your extension cords or power strips. Never leave candles or wax warmers or simmer pots unattended, and turn off your holiday lights before bedtime. Safety first, witches!

Thanks for joining me for this exploration of full moon magic. See you next year!

Happy Cold Moon, witches! 🌕🧊

Ever since building this shelf with my grandpa and brother in law over the summer, I've had so much fun dressing it up in different ways. Right now it's very Bendy themed, so I have all my completed customs from Bendy and the Ink Machine and Bendy and the Dark Revival, along with my figures that I've never had a good spot for before. XD There's even a few fun gags in there, like the rubber duck to represent our inky duckies from the BATDR Cast Lovestreams, or the box of miniature coca colas up near Joey (Dave Rivas really likes Mexican Coca Cola). I even put up one of my mannequins to represent Carl! (The funny thing is both of my mannequins have names, that one is usually called Hermes.) And of course, I love the functionality of it being an actual bookshelf, so we have all the Bendy books there in the order they came out. Now I can pick them up to read far more easily. I would have more plushies here, but they all live in other parts of the room. Big ones go on the bed (plus Sammy), and little ones go in the beanbag chair. The two shoulder riders are just so small and actually stand upright, so I felt they worked best here.

I've never really had all my lil guys out like this before, it's nice. And of course, for the one non-Bendy portion, I had some fun. So earlier this year, I got the Rainbow High set that was Skyler's studio tools for fashion design for half off. I specifically wanted it so that my mini me doll would have a desk and art supplies, and it did not disappoint! As you can see, we're making good use of it, along with a couple of other doll accessories, like Neon Frights Draculaura's laptop, a Barbie teacup I found thrifting, my Sammy Lawrence Lego as a "doll for dolls", and even a Disney ILY 4Ever cupcake, because of course we need that. XD My cousin very graciously crocheted me this Mario mushroom, and I've been using it as both decor and a doll footstool, since it's a toadstool. X'''D I tend not to use a lot of my doll furniture, but now that I have a spot for it? I think I want to make an effort to play with it more. Like, I need to find where I put my kitchen set now. Clearly we need to have a doll dinner party. XD

TTD - First Meeting 1/4

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 and end

“I wouldn’t do that if I were you.”

Hero stopped on the threshold of the old warehouse. They examined their surroundings, as if to check what was hiding beyond them. Of course they could see nothing. There wasn’t any light. The voice itself seemed slightly deformed with some kind of white noise – it had to be a transmission.

“Why ?” they asked politely.

“Because you won’t see another day again if you step in.”

Hero tilted their head. They grabbed their flashlight, and – what ? They squinted their eyes, but the ray of light bounced on the darkness and went back to them.

Now, that didn’t seem very normal.

“I see what you mean,” they said.

Then they shrugged and entered. A booming laugh resonated as the doors locked themselves brutally behind Hero:

“You’re mine now ! Miiiine ! You belong to the eternal night of everlasting darkness !”

“Uh. Um, okay.”

The laugh stopped and the voice sounded suddenly a bit sulking:

“That’s all ? No witty remark ? No cutting repartee ? I thought you were a Hero. I’m disappointed.”

“Sorry. I’m just trying to do my job. But I have things to say.”

“Let’s hear it, my little prey.”

“Well, there were a bunch of burglaries in this part of the town, and the managers of the stores always complained about the lights that went out no matter what they did before the act. So I’ve investigated a little and I’ve pinpointed this location.”

“How very smart of you, prisoner. You’re the only one who could find the truth and stay alive this long. No doubt you must be special.”

Embarrassed, Hero rubbed the back of their neck.

“Nah, I’m not very high-ranked, actually.”

“I’ve seen you before, though. I remember.”

Hero stroked one of their crochet twists and absentmindedly smiled:

“Yeah, the rainbow beads help, usually. It’s not because I work as hard as I can that I’m very important.”

“Why are you on my trail all by yourself, then ?”

“ As far as I know, you haven’t killed anyone. You just stole the supplies you need, I have the list... so forgive me if I’m not very much intimidated. I mean, you took a lot of Twinkies ?”

“Food’s survivor.”

“It doesn’t even last very long, actually.”

“...You must be the life of the party. Well, it doesn’t matter. I salute you for your efforts, but your time has come to an end.”

“Is that so ?”

“I control shadows, little Hero. My powers are beyond your reach.”

“Yeah, but you use them to steal Twinkies.”

“Would you stop with that ? Very well, I shall make you forget all about them. Behold my lair and despair !”

Pale blue dots weakly illuminated the huge warehouse. A large screen appeared by the ceiling, revealing a hooded figure, but Hero’s attention was somewhere else. There were forms around them that at first they took for furniture – and in a certain sense they were. One of them could certainly be viewed as a chair, if you forgot the huge spikes on the seat, just as the wooden frame in front of it had been made for people to lay down, if the manacles could be taken into account. Hero stared at all this, at the cages on the ground, at the chains on the walls, and stopped walking, their heart suddenly beating way faster. There were traces of red here and there. All of this was separated from them thanks to a glass wall.

“Have I just seen you shudder, Hero ?” simpered the voice. “Or are you still convinced that I’m not so dangerous ?”

Hero did wince. They also took a step back and a deep breath before seeking for an opening.

“I can assure you there’s no way out”, said Villain. “Unless you are strong enough to smash the doors you came from, but then you’d have already broken out by now. Or do you think I’m foolish enough to be around ? Are you so mad for revenge that you have to seek me out?”

“I’m not mad yet. I just want to check something.”

“You should be. I count my victims by the dozens and no one realized that because you heroes are that disastrous. Many disappeared, but no one cared about them. You want to make me think you do? ”

“Yes.”

Hero finally found what looked like a door. After fumbling for a moment, their hand closed on a handle and they could get to the other side. Surrounded by darkness, the torture instruments looked as sinister and impressive as their function implied. Right until the moment when Hero’s fingers brushed against a huge spike and pushed.

Their thumb went into the metal with no problem and left a mark. This time, it was Hero’s laugh that boomed in the room.

“It’s tin, isn’t it ?” they asked to the hooded figure. “Man, it’s impressive. You made me believe it for a minute. The blood is painting, right ?”

“...Maybe.”

“It’s like you’ve made a ghost train ride all by yourself. You’re an artist. I mean it.”

They rubbed their hands together to get rid of the red painting:

“But I have to catch you now.”

The voice growled in answer:

“Then come to find me, nemesis. That’s what you’ve just become.”

“Thank you. I will bring you Twinkies in prison.”

“Oh, I will end you.”

My boyfriend’s family does an ornament exchange every Christmas. The last two years I made crochet snowflakes but I’ve been so busy that I didn’t make one this year. Well, I was immediately asked by two different relatives before the party really started if I had made a snowflake because they wanted to try and get it during the exchange. So, I found a chart online really quick, drove to get supplies, and made a snowflake out of this tinsel yarn to add to the exchange. I finished it within like 30 minutes as the party was starting. We exchange them white elephant style so they can be stolen if someone picks it. Mine was stolen twice very quickly and ended up with one of the ladies who had asked about it last year and this year. It’s so nice that it was appreciated, and to be included in this tradition.

(It’s shinier in person, the camera couldn’t pick up the tinsel effects very well)

inside concordias gift is knitting supply

inside antheas gift is purple christmas pajamas presumeably to match dawn (I TRIED TO THINK OF SOMETHING HELP IM SORRY...)

and inside ns gift was a shiny zorua plushie...she wanted to include n as she wouldve felt bad for leaveing him out purely due to the fact hes missing in her universe and such...

each christmas card had the type of picture u would see on cards in the 2000s and such: beautiful christmas themes/art!

each card is written in a diffrent color she wanted them to be unique! for anthea its pink for concordia its blue since yellow wouldnt show up good for rood its black (she doesnt know rood well but shes trying) and for n its green! her handwriteing isnt joint or insanely fancy but its readable

( @yangdragonwielder )

(GRAHHH THIS IS WHY I NEEDED TO KNOW WHOEVER CROCHETTED (EVEN IF IT WAS KNITTING...) MY MIND KEPT BLANKING AND THINKING OF ANTHEA BUT I WANTED TO MAKE SURE)

[Anthea takes the phone and types back, "Tysm! These are lovely. Can't wait to open them!" It shows Hilda the phone, then takes it back and types, "Follow me, I'll show you where the quiet room is."

Connie smiles brightly and goes off to stash the presents somewhere safe, to open later. Anthea hands Hilda the phone back and leads her through the kitchen, into a hallway, and then into a cozy sitting room full of comfortable-looking couches and armchairs. Two unown blink sleepily from one of the walls. The sounds of the party are very muffled from in here.

Anthea pulls out her own phone and types to show Hilda, "Feel free to come and go from here as you please. Whatever makes you comfortable."]

Matron (& Reaper Nurses) Headcanons

for fredthemosquito :D

Matron & Reaper Nurses

• Whenever there's a calm evening at the hospital, the nurses will sit together next to Matron with cups of tea. Sometimes they'll talk about their day or have a laugh together, other times they'll sit in peace and quiet, where the only noises that can be heard are the clinking of teacups being returned to their saucers, and the shifting of paper bags being lifted slightly for a sip. Matron has a large cup that she can hold properly; the Gold Watchers insisted on having it made for her. Other than that, it looks the same as the rest of the cups, white with gold trim and light blue flowers. She'll hand it down to the nurses to have her tea made, then they'll return it to her. She usually has chamomile.

• She can't play board games properly (her hands are too large to pick up small tokens or dice) but one of the nurses will play for her, sitting next to her desk so they can hear each other clearly. She makes the decisions, the nurse rolls dice and moves pieces across the boards, and reads cards out to her. She enjoys playing games very much, even if it's in an unconventional fashion, but sometimes she wishes she could join in "properly" and roll her own dice.

• She can be harsh on them - she runs a tight ship - but deep down she loves them very much. She's just not the greatest at showing it, as like them, she's been hurt by men she thought loved her. Spending small moments with them or just sitting at her desk, having a one-on-one with a nurse about their pasts and their trauma, is where it shows best.

• They're a massive help. She actually wouldn't be able to run the hospital without them. They bring her painkillers for her back pain, help her wash up in the evenings, bring her healthy food and drinks, keep her company, and even after all the decades they've been together, never mention cigarettes or smoke around her. They refuse to fuel or reignite the addiction she had in life. She still thinks about them occasionally, but they've become more of an old habit now rather than an addiction. In the past, when they did come up, they refused to supply her. Going cold turkey so suddenly did a huge number on her, but they took care of her and continue to do so today.

Matron

• Massive, MASSIVE sweet tooth. Even though the nurses help her monitor her slowly (and safely) decreasing weight, they know to never not replace her cut rock candy when she runs out. She can and will lose it. (she likes the fruit kinds best but she's also not opposed to a humbug once in a while)

(unrelated but this is the stuff that's available to me and OHHHH my goddd it's so good. i don't even like cherry flavoured things usually but even they have surpassed my expectations)

• She'd like to take up knitting or crochet to keep her hands busy, but she's not sure how to get started, especially with the issue of having large hands.

• She loves painting her nails, even though her gloves conceal them when they're done. It makes her feel pretty and confident in her new body, which she often feels insecure in because of her size and having to wheel around. Most of the time she wears soft pinks and nude shades, although a glittery light pink is also fun.

• Really enjoys organising birthday parties for the nurses, although none of them remember their old birthdays, so they just go with the day they became a nurse. It helps her express love for her found family, but she also loves thinking about "Would she want streamers around? I know she's a grown mature woman who likes keeping things neat but surely she'd love waking up to streamers around just for her..." She loves it so much she'll start planning months in advance if there isn't another one coming up soon.

• She can't travel around most of the hospital due to her size, but you can bet your ass she'll be near-yelling "I NEED MORE" at a poor nurse standing there with a box full of streamers while she decorates her hall. For once, being tall is actually very useful.

• She loves rainy weather. She can't see it (no windows) but she loves the sound of rain hitting a roof somewhere in the hospital. She does NOT like hail, very intense rain, or heavy winds. The loud noises make her anxious, although being told what they are helps a lot. She especially hates wind that throw tree branches at walls.

• If she were to watch a sad movie or read a sad book with the nurses, she will be the first one to start crying. Her tough exterior hides and protects a sensitive woman inside. It starts dissipating when she's with the nurses and there's no-one and nothing else to bother her (e.g. a mortal)

𝖨𝗇𝗍𝗈 𝗍𝗁𝖾 𝖵𝗈𝗂𝖽: 𝖣𝗋𝖾𝖺𝗆 𝖳𝗐𝗈

2025. I had a dream this afternoon while I was taking a nap. It's my first significant dream of the year. I must write this down before I forget most of it.

The dream began with me and my mom in a apartment, arguing. She seemed very demonic and was insulting me. I don't know what we were arguing over, but she was also pushing me around I think. Even though I don't know what we were arguing over, I got the feeling that it was about the usual thing: accountability. To understand what I mean, I will make another blog post about my relationship with my mom. This isn't the first dream I have had of us like this.

I walked to my bedroom while we were arguing. This is where it gets odd but I understand it. In a jar, I had three small babies. I could hold them in the palm of my hand. They were alive. I was feeding them milk, until I ran out of it. I was concerned a little, worrying if they got enough to drink and not go hungry.

This clearly represents my inner child, my innocence, my purity. No one should have to deal with toxic moms, but unfortunately many people do. There's a lot I didn't get to experience in my childhood, and there's things I shouldn't have experienced. My mom always brags about how she made sure I never went without anything important (materialistically) growing up. That's good and that's how it should be, but she was almost never there for me emotionally. I have wounds that still need to be healed.

After I fed the babies, the dream skipped. I was now at a small beauty supply store that also had a salon. It was a worn down store but still had a few customers. I was gonna get my hair done but I was worried because it was pretty tangled. So I left. But while I was leaving, I did something daring and went behind the store. I saw some beautiful cloths that looked antique and had pictures on them, most likely crocheted. I saw another young man who was sitting back there waiting. I instantly knew he was there for them too, so we stole them together.

The dream skipped again. Things start getting weirder. I can't remember all that happened between there and this next part, but we ended up in the 1910s or 1920s. Mind you, me and this guy were both black. We were in a room sitting on a couch when a few young white people came in, dressed in long black outfits. Some of them were hooded. They barely said anything and just started taking pictures of us. Oddly enough, the camera also looked modern.

After this, the dream skipped again. I ended up at a ceremony in a outdoor arena. It was full of rich and famous celebrities. I specifically recognized Taraji P. Henson, even hugged her, and Megan Thee Stallion. The performance acts were very chaotic, extravagant, wild, and avant garde. There were circus acts, wrestlers, people with little to no clothes, a few animals, but people did not seem to care and dressed formally like it was a regular party. After one of the performances, the dream ended.

This is solely a dream I had. Nothing here is confirming or exposing things that could be true in real life or not unless it was personal to me. This dream was clearly all over the place, but it is an interesting one with many meanings. Feel free to tell me your opinions and interpretations. Thank you for reading!

Why does this always kick in at the most inconvenient of times-when you're out shopping, when you're at home trying to sleep, in the car, where you keep plastic bags within reach as a just in case.

You're done throwing up, so you dig in your purse for some mouth wash to get rid of the taste of puke.

You rinse your mouth out.

You and Ransom pay for your purchase.

Ransom has also loaded you into your wheelchair.

"Mmm, honey bun, this is something I'm giving up once our girls are born."

"I won't have time for video games, the girls will need all of our attention every waking minute," says Jake.

Jake kisses your shoulder.

You wouldn't trade this for the world right now.

Johnny Storm:

Johnny understands that you have to make weekly trip to Michaels.

They have deals every week.

You can't resist a bargain.

You have enough yarn, but you're knitting a sweater.

"Honey, are we?"

"Yes, Cole. You're going to be a dad!"

"Honey, I love you so much!'

His hand goes right to your stomach.

[welcome-home-art-dump]

Welcome Home x Kaiju reader scenarios:

Tiny reader!

Pov: through an unknown term of events, Reader has gone from the size of a building to the size of a gecko.

[Yes, you look strange, but you're mini, what'd you expect?]

🏠 Home:

"Creeeak?? Squeak! Squeeeeak!"

🏡 He'd be obviously surprised, as evident by his pupils shrinking in alarm. But once he realized that you were finally able to visit Wally, he was very happy.

🏡 he found it cute when you react in awe to his colorful interior, even feeling a sense of pride.

🏡 loves to see you try and paint with Wally and creaks in amusement when you get yourself covered in paint. He also watches as you tried to draw.

🏡 it'll take him off guard when you suddenly climb the walls, but he lets it slide since you don't do any harm.

🏡 Is slightly worried that Wally's fixation on you has increased slightly.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

🍎 Wally:

"Oh my... what a lovely surprise."

🎨 He'd be surprised, but he'd be very happy to be looking at you without the sun glaring into his eyes and even more so that he's able to hold you.

🎨 he instantly takes you on a tour around Home, especially showing you his art room where his art supplies are.

🎨 Loves to watch you try to draw and paint, often stopping his own painting sometimes to discreetly watch your endeavor.

🎨 he enjoys it when you perch yourself on his shoulder, though he kind of has an issue with holding you properly.

👁 he has an even bigger issue with sharing you, sometimes tightening his grip on you when someone approaches.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

🦴 Barnaby:

"Whoa! The tables have turned, eh kiddo?"

🐶 he'd be dumbfounded, but now that you're smaller, he can finally give you proper hugs and have an easier time making puns.

🐶 he now has you ride on his shoulder or head, and his tail wags at finally being able to do so.

🐶 sometimes has you assist him in acts, acting like a ventriloquist. (Almost considered juggling you but didn't want to risk hurting you.)

🐶 sometimes playfully ruffles your hair and messes it up to mess with you.

🐶 there's a lot of short jokes and puns in order, as well as short related nicknames, his favorite being "little Kai."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

🪀 Julie:

"*excited squeal* you're so cuuuuute!!"

🧸 Once she saw you, she could have burst with excitement and adoration.

🧸 almost instantly scoops you up into her embrace, exclaiming over and over on how cute you were and how she could finally hug you.

🧸 she was excited to tour you around her house, showing her collection of toys and dolls, and invites you for tea parties and occasionally plays dress-up with you using her doll's clothing.

🧸 she's more than happy when you fall asleep nestled in her hair or in a pile of her stuffed animals.

🧸 is ecstatic to finally be able to play games like tag, hopscotch and hide-and-seek with you.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

🪶 Poppy:

"(N-Name)? Is that-? What did-? How did you-? O-Oh feathers, come here, dear."

🍪 she'd be shocked and confused, but somewhat relieved now that she can properly keep you safe. She was also happy to be the one holding you for once.

🍪 she'd handle you like frail porcelain, and gets worried when Julie and/or Wally start handling you a tad roughly. [I.e. bicker over who's turn it is to hold you]

🍪 she created your tiny outfit while you watched, gave you a few crocheting and knitting pointers.

🍪 When she bakes, she always lets you lick the spoon and feeds you the first bite of everything.

🍪 sometimes you'd fall asleep while riding her back, to which she'd gently tuck you beneath her shawl and reminded everyone to be quieter when you slept.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

🦋 Frank:

"Oh, (Name)? That's an... interesting change..."

📚 Would be taken aback by your sudden change in size, but he was actually glad he didn't have to worry about you accidentally crushing anything.

📚 he still flinches whenever you start flying about since you fly so quickly.

📚 he inwardly finds it cute when butterflies suddenly land on you.

📚 if he's in a good mood, he'll let you perch yourself on his shoulder.

📚 Gets anxious when Julie and the others aren't careful with you.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

☀️ Sally:

"Oooh, a change in roles, I see?"

🎭 She'd be initially surprised, but pleased to see you were now able to be held.

🎭 She saw your size shift as a "change in roles" which mean she was now the one protecting you.

🎭 now when playwriting, She'd cast herself as a princess and you'd be her "animal companion" everytime.

🎭 sometimes she'd outright play as a hero who'd be responsible for saving you and protecting you, and more often than not, she takes the role a tad too seriously.

🎭 this sparks a bit of conflict with Julie and Wally since they want a part with you.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

🐛 Howdy:

"Oh...! Howdy keeper! What happened?"

🛍 he'd be taken off guard, but glad to have you in his store for once.

🛍 he'd instantly show you where the (fruit) and (candy) were, and would give you a few for free.

🛍 he'd appreciate you helping around the store, and found it cute how you fluttered around when helping out.

🛍 sometimes during downtimes, he'd lightly play with your wings [with your permission], and would idly wonder when he'd get his own wings to join you whenever you took flight.

🛍 sort of keeps an eye on you from his shop window, to ensure the others weren't too rough with you.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

💌 Eddie:

"Wh-... Keeper? What happened?"

✉️ he'd be surprised to be the one looking down at you, but now he had the chance to properly return the kindness you've shown him.

✉️ he'd be the one giving you head pats now, and when he wasn't working would invite you into his office to craft with him.

✉️ sometimes if he was caught up in work, he'd have you deliver some mail around the neighborhood.

✉️ he'd have you ride in his satchel if you were tired.

✉️ he hides you in his satchel or under his cap if tensions are higher than usual. [I.E. the competition between the Wally, Sally and Julie reaching a tense level]

Idea is from a reader from my book.

Still open for suggestions.~
