#GO MUPPY

[wyrddogs]

Muppy’s not the fastest dog on the race circuit, but she’s among the most recognizeable, and crowds will sometimes gather to chant her name. The affection is mutual: there’s a bar on the country road that leads to one of the race sites, and whenever Betsy makes the turn in her car, Muppy starts screeching with excitement. In the starting chute, while the judge counts down, she wails, eyes glued to the trail ahead—and the moment Betsy releases the brake, they take off at top speed.

She’s become a pro at some of the more technical aspects of racing, like getting passed—or, just as often, passing. “The dog parts of the other team, sometimes they just stare as they’re running, trying to decide if she’s food or friend,” Betsy recalled, laughing. “And their mushers will say, ‘Come on, Snowball! You’re getting passed by a wiener dog!”

Muppet is on the mend, her antibiotics got here yesterday! I knew I had to separate her from Inga so that I wasn’t giving antibiotics to a healthy bird, so I moved Muppy into the Baby Jail inside the coop so she can see and hear the rest of her flock! Pluto was ecstatic to see her again, he’s always been obsessed with her, although the feeling’s not exactly mutual. Inga was also reluctant to leave her sister’s side, she even chased Sascha away when he tried to reach inside the crate and steal Muppy’s food! I’m glad little Muppet is doing so well and has such a nice flock to go back to. ❤️❤️❤️

JUST ANOTHER DAY IN THE TOWER ( S4M COMIC )

PART 1

PS: the punching glove isn't involved I just forgot to remove it!

PPS: This has a lot of my personal HCs LMAO don't worry about it but if it confuses you just see my talk under the cut! Actually I HIGHLY recommend you read it PLS

[ ID: Fanart done in traditional medium, uncolored, with pencil and slightly rough sketching. It's a comic of the game Smile For Me featuring Putunia Mollar, Kamal Bora and Dr.Habit living together. The panels alternate colors between cool blue, warmer red and orange tones and gray because of how they were photographed.

The designs have canon style but the changes in the artists interpretation are as follows. Kamal has a lot of acne, eyebags and thick brows. For this comic his hair is in a ponytail and he casually wears sleeveless top with sweatpants. Putunias hair is more scruffy. Habit has the most change- Here he has a muppet-like appearance with fur, longer hair, cheek patches with a splash of freckles, stitches and scars on hands plus an X shaped one near his mouth. His teeth are uneven with a bigger snaggletooth too. His long coat is made of some soft, scratchy material and it's collar is bush-like with feathery parts holding flowers.

The comic starts with Kamal massaging Putunia's shoulders. He smirks, "Alright, kiddo, we're gonna fucking get that asshole today." Putunia bravely kisses her muscles for good luck.

We see she is standing on a high rise stool to reach his height. She yells in unbridled excitement, " GIMME FIVE BRO!!! " and smacks her non-punching glove palm into Kamal's, who sheepishly replies, "kk..." with a grin.

Their plan comes into action as they sneak up behind Habit. He is standing at the window admiring the beautiful morning, singing the lyrics to Tomorrow from Annie, " The sun will come out to-morrow....bet your bottom dollar...". His back faces them. There are slightly visible odd shapes in his hair. Kamal's cheeks puff and his eyes go wide as he presses a hand to his lips, gesturing to Putunia, "SHHH. I see he's singing the same song again....like a total CHUMP..." he whispers. The little girl can barely hold in her glee. She bites her fingers and squeals, " eeeEEE!"

A side view is shown as they get closer to Habit, about to scare him. Kamal can't resist chuckling while he holds up Putunia. She takes aim at the target, circling her fingers around her single open eye and sticking out her tongue in intense concentration. Habit's upper face is in shadow but he has a slight, characteristically crooked smile. He continues singing, "clears away the cobwebs and the sorrow....till there's none..."

Suddenly! A very loud BOO is splashed onto the page. Below is the building reaction to it, a shrill scream going AAAA-

And we cut to a very distraught and crying Kamal, his arms jumped up in sheer fear, continuing it with, "AAALLAHU AKBAR-"

Before Putunia stops him on the spot via a finger to the mouth, " BABA. ...shut the up." He is in so much shock. His eyes get huge.

We see her now wrapped inside Habit's arms, looking up at Kamal apologetically with a thin smile, twiddling her fingers, " Sowwy..." He manages to stammer out, "Y-Y-You....you....Y..."

He catches his breath! In a burst of energy Kamal points a damning finger to Habit, saying at the top of his voice, "YOU! STOP THAT. RIGHT N-NOW." Habit is too amused by patting a wonderstruck Putunia who's going "Oooo.." at him, and having bent his head all the way from front to back( looks like an upside down head) to really be intimidated by that. He puts his fluffy tongue out, and his glass eyes appear to be missing as well- leaving just two dots on the face. " Hee hee... hoo hoo.." end ID]

Talk under the cut!!

OK let's get some basics out of the way first! In this AU, which I've named Roseverse( after its Flower Kid named Rose lel), Habit is a muppy. A mubbit. A man or a muppet? Mupman.

And I've since dropped the HC but I've headcanoned Kamal as Muslim for a REALLY LONG time because I am projecting so that's why you're seeing that here !

Here they all live as a family in the 6-floored Tower( the black rings we see on it in-game that lead up to the top office are seperate rooms) though Putunia's a Community Child and only comes in for routine visits but yeah.

Onto the comic proper now!! I'll explain headcanons panelwise :) (smile emote)

Panel 1: Kamal's like

[ GIF ID: Captain America from the MCU mutters "Language." sternly. End ID]

Around Putunia when HABITS THERE but He is the Cause‼️‼️( thick red exclamation emotes)

As for Habit on that subject, really he doesn't swear much on the regular but SOMETIMES he'll whisper things like MOTHERFUCKER or CUNT into Kamal's ear just to watch him jump ( BTW if someone knows what this is referencing YOU ARE COOL )

Panel 2: 'Tunia's picking up speech patterns!! Kamal was that one guy in college dropping "dudeman" 's and he NEVER expected to see his brospeak come back in this Tiny Powerhouse but 'tis welcome

Panel 3: Habit's singing Tomorrow from the original Annie! Such a sweet and lively song. It is infact my voice claim for Kid Habit.

Speaking of, fun fact I started at NIGHT drawing this powered by freaking. Heart Broken 💔( broken heart emoji) Hindi Songs and I DIDNT STOP BABEEEYYYYYYYY

Panel 7: In my old school bus someone used to say why don't we say shut sideways 🥸 (silly disguise emoji with huge mustache and glasses, showing amusement in this context)

BUT OFC THE SUPERIOR ONE IS PIN DROP SILENCE IN THIS FISHMARKET CHILDRENS!!!!!!!!

[ Plaintext: But of course the superior one is " Pin drop silence in the fishmarket childrens!!!" ]

Panel 8&9 AKA The last ones: Oh Habit practices his contorting sometimes!

so anYWAY if it's confusing to see the pose just like imagine him bending backwards from his midsection and stuff. And the dot eyes will be explained more laterrr but basically they show that his proper eyes have been detached ( they're a beautiful blorange made of glass) ;-) (winky emote)

STAY TUNED FOR PART 2 PWESS🥺

[Plain text: Stay tuned for part 2 please (pleading emote)]

Project: Honey

so... its been about... 3 MONTHS???? i thought i was gone shorter haha... so ive been busy... despite me wanting to see her again, ARHGGH why am i being so secretive im already going against orders... So, despite me wanting to see my daughter... which KH labs is doing, i highly doubt they actually are going to just contain her again. She destroyed everything they owned, it caused a huge dent in KH labs funding since they had to move facilities, from what ive heard from Muppy its pretty bad haha. They might torture her,, or worse,,, probably worse.,, but i wont let it happen!!!!! (huh,, always wanted one of those badass manga lines,,, but it feels kinda cringy now that im saying a cool line...) ANYWAY wow did i take my pills today im getting really offtrack... oops im doing it again since i cant really look for Bee Bee myself without KH following me, ive devised a plan. i call it project honey!! im going to leave hidden stuff around in order to get people to help me look for Bee without KH knowing. kids on this box thingy call it a arg? idk what it stands for... i got the inspiration on a walk with my wife, we stopped at a nearby village (KH agent still following us), and this annoying local was talking about how their "brat" daughter ran away and left a book with gibberish in it. I looked up on the box how to decode stuff like that, and then got onto the rabbit hole of this arrg stuff. i found a small orange thing, its about 1/16th of a block, i found it awhile ago during Bees destruction, its this small orange,, thing,,, that came out of a camra? the werid things at KH labs and theres like green inside it. I call it orange-stone since it functions similarly to redstone, but way more complex. ive been spending a long time figuring it out,, its been what about,,, 2 years? since i was originally put in house arrest so ive had alot of time. i even made it to create the computor? or what the critters in here say anyway, thats how ive been postin on here! :D even if it takes a whole day to even upload these posts... and after alot of digging around on here, im gonna use disco to send a message asking people to help me find Bee. Ive noticed the orange-stone lights up and it says like,,, some weird name and then "joined the game". i swear the names are REAALLY WEIRD. like who the hell is froggie_lesbian why would u name urself that... (its ok im not homophobic i just dont know why u would name urself that) oops i need to take my meds dont i anyway ive found out whoever froggie_lesbian is and im gonna send a message from their account asking for help... in their disco... i just need to record something,,, maybe add some camera footage from that old thing khoa had me film that video from, and itll be done!! oh yeah and i also gotta lay down the clues. whoops. anyway, if your reading this Welcome to Project Honey. please help, for my daughters sake. -Moon

[nekowreck]

how the fuck am I supposed to go to my stupid job when I can't even come home to my puppy anymore. some customer made a dead dog joke out of nowhere the other day and I felt like fucking choking the life out of him. the world is so terrible and muppy was the only good thing and now that she's not here I have nothing I have nothing anymore

[bat-in-the-machine]

Muppy is an alien who's been in stasis for 2000 years and just woke up when the members of the workshop brought his personal craft back as part of their summer project, believing it to be an ancient pot of some sort.

After getting his translator working, he declared himself to be a foreign exchange student.

The devs were like "okay if we're going to add yet ANOTHER character to this mess, they'll have to up the wacky factor to keep up with the rest. Is this too much? Nah."

Oh yeah and his theme song is "Block Pulse of Love," a bizarre little tune whose vocal track was used in another song (Rock-a-Doodle-Doo) on another game (DJMax Portable 2) which came out three months earlier, which means one of the composers went "oh hey wait I have this vocal track that would just slap over this little chiptune thing" and did it.

Context: Everyone thought Anna was a killjoy so they went to confront her and she concluded they were going to haze her, led them on a wild goose chase around campus, and threatened to murder Vayne (the guy on the left) to test his honesty.

I fuckin' love Mana Khemia.

🥃

“Please take it easy?”

For every 🥃, my Muse will take a shot! How many until they reach their limit?!

Downing the single shot like it was nothing, it was gone before the other had even settled it into her hands. Her cheeks were even redder now. Vivi let out a bubbly giggle. Where did the glass go?

Her chest was already hurting more by each drink. It was hurting to breathe. But, she looked so happy though.

"It ain't up to me, Sweetpea~!" She giggled back. "Thanks for the free glass though, Muppy! It hit well with the rocks~!"

[oopsimpregnant]

My daughter is almost a year old.

It's been almost a year since the terror, the fear, the absolute love and crushing doubt. Less than a year since I went off the deep end. Less than a month since I started to resurface and face our luck like looking into the teeth of some unexpected beast.

It's almost six am. She went back to sleep, but I didn't. Jacob's been trying, desperately, to get me to normalize my own sleep schedule now that she's finally normalizing hers. He's been using all his tricks - shouting it at me, saying the beginning of it and then saying 'whatever' if I don't react in some way I haven't figured out yet and storming off. Sleepily urging me to come back to bed when I sit up in the wee hours of the morning like lighting's struck.

"Please?"

It's not that simple. I've always woken up at odd hours - it just never mattered before because I could sleep Whenever I Wanted, a power I never in my life appreciated before I had a baby and lost it forever.

I used to write at these times. I guess that's what I'm doing now - go me. But normally, these days, I put something pastel and thoughtless on the television - tlc or hgtv, something soft to barely live to. I live a fuzzy half life until I have to do something again. My bones creak when I get up, an ache that just follows me now. I haven't talked to a doctor about it.

PPD has stolen quite a lot from my family, but I think the main thing I personally have lost, have only just clawed my way back to, is an appreciation for what happens next.

It is past six, and she wakes up, and the laws of sleep training (a process I never supported child-free but have since seen the Immense benefits of) are allowing me to go get her.

She is standing, barely awake, just beginning to get upset as she realizes she is alone. She hears me before she sees me and lets out a cry - our house is old, and creaks when I step on it.

When I walk in she is simply more upset. I have not picked her up fast enough. If I hadn't walked in, she would've probably found her binkie (muppy) and gone back to sleep.

But then I do pick her up. She puts her own bink in her mouth and sighs, collapsing against me. I carry her downstairs and the house sighs too.

We sit in front of that fuzzy half-life. She tilts her sleepy head back, sees me for what might be another first time for her, and smiles like a drunk.

I love her I love her I love her I love her.

For those still in the thick of ppd, this will sound like a raisin clinking against the great concrete wall of your depression. I'm going to say it anyway - it gets so, so, sooooo much better.

I carried her through my depression and I hate myself for the way she weighed me down like I was dragging an entire world by my tits. Now in my recovery she is like a little tug boat pulling me along at incredible speed, and the world is bright and real ahead.

I am not quite at the end, but I am close enough to see now that it Does end, and that you get what you thought you lost anyway there, too. Before there, even. Along the way, you do regain whatever it is you missed out on sad.

She makes me so happy.

Winx season 8/17

Now three or four people are reading these, and I am very happy.  =)

In which we root for Stormy.

17 Dress Fit for a Queen

So, a Stella episode.

Alfea!  And we’re returning to the simulation class from season one!  It’s not called the “magical reality chamber” this time around because honestly, that name is a little silly.  But here’s Palladium all dapper in his vest and long hair asking the girls if they’re ready for a “special kind of test.”

Bloom is unsure.

Stella is ready for any kind of test… “as long as it’s about makeup or changing clothes.”

But this test is about visualizing your deepest insecurities, exactly what Stella isn’t an expert at.  The cute minor fairies look worried.

Stella says she has no insecurities, but it’s Musa who hops up to go first.  

So, what are Musa’s insecurities?  Riven.  Her taste in boys.  Her mom obviously. Choosing to do music against her father’s wishes, though now that the girls are successes I assume Ho Boe would’ve calmed down about that.

Good callback, the set is the same—a door, then a bridge into a domed room that projects the simulation.  

While Musa’s insecurities play a Palladium voiceover explains that everyone has insecurities—like, “some are afraid of making mistakes” Virtual rocker Musa flubs a chord.  

“Some are afraid of being unable to help others.”  Virtual Flora can’t revive withered plants.  

Some are afraid of losing control over a situation.”  Virtual Tecna has built a humanoid robot that she’s controlling with her phone, making it do dance moves.  But her phone control stops working and virtual Tec has to flee because it looks like the robot is going to attack her. Also, virtual Tecna is sitting in a lavender diamond shaped hovering chair that you can get in Winx fairy school.  The robot bangs the chair on the ground, it’s funny.

Virtual Aisha is climbing a climbing wall and falls.  “Some are afraid of losing their nerve.”  

Virtual Bloom gets dumped by virtual Sky. “And some are afraid of losing the one they love.”  She runs after virtual Sky, very upset.  When real Bloom walks out she says the simulation feels so real.

What’s this test about anyway?  It seems kinda traumatic!  But Stella has no fear, she thinks she’ll have to ‘come up with a tiny little insecurity I can visualize.”  Stell, I know it was an alternate you, but your Nemesis slapped you around with your insecurities not that long ago! I love Stella, but she has the self-awareness of a turnip.

Virtual Stella is in her pajamas and encounters three dressed-up courtiers.  They titter.  She wonders if she’s under-dressed… nah, they must be overdressed!  She snaps her fingers and poofs them into pajamas too, welcoming them to her sleepover.

Then her parents come out and shame her.  Stella stutters, falling apart a little. Then the simulation ends.  Stella walks out looking mad, and says she could’ve fixed things with her parents if she’d only had more time.  Her voice sounds sad but she looks pissed off; I wonder what tone of voice the Italian voice actress had.

Palladium just says, “Of course you could have, Stella.”  her doesn’t sound sarcastic, or particularly anything.  Then he says they’ll have another class tomorrow morning and leaves.  I expected something more like “this test was to help you understand yourself not fix problems in the simulation, which isn’t real after all.”  but nope.  I kinda wonder if Italian Palladium was sarcastic, maybe I’ll look this episode up on RaiPlay.

Back in the Winx common room the girls talk about how down the test left Stella, and how she never really got over her parents’ separation.  Flora comments that Stella always cheers other people up, but hides her own problems.

So the timeslide has not rewritten Stella’s parents splitting up—though in US law ‘separated’ is different from ‘divorced’ but I’m not sure a kids’ show would care about that.  Probably nothing.  Also Stella’s wish in season 5 seems not to have gotten her folks remarried as was wondered.  We haven’t heard much from Luna and Radius in a while.

Star case appearance!  It speaks!  The next star is on Solaria, conveniently. “It’s easy to be seen but to get it you must be wearing the confidence of a queen.”  Was that an attempt at poetry?

The girls look worried, not thrilled.  But Stella comes in and she is thrilled: that’s her homeworld!  Musa wonders what confidence of a queen means, but Stella knows!  It just means a dress!  And that’s right up her alley!  Bloom is unsure.  But Stella has her plan: make a dress and wear it!  “After all, nobody’s more confidant than I am!”

Valtor is watching. He dispatches the Trix to get the star first.  Stormy says a test of confidence will be child’s play for her, and she’s kinda got a point.  I’d put Icy with her “Defeat the Winx once and for all!” every season like clockwork high on the confidence meter.

I have been watching the Trix very closely.  This season has a prize in the bottom of the box, and I know mostly what it is so I’m looking for any hint of foreshadowing… so far I have seen not a single hint.  I wonder if the prize was added late in the writing of the season like the gang at Rainbow suddenly decided this season needed a little something more, or something.  One thing I wish they did was have foreshadowing in the opening sequence—like in anime ops, there will often be a hint, characters with their faces not visible or only shown as a brief flash so you see just enough to suspect…

(see the Umineko game opening for an example.)  But this season of Winx the entire op is just clips from the show itself so nothing in the op can sort of contain the whole season’s story… if that makes any sense… yeah, I think Winx ops could be better than they are.

Cut to gorgeous Solaria background.  A little bay, the palace, and a… giant building like six times bigger than the palace?  Do Solarians live in arcologies instead of normal cities? (spellcheck does not know the word arcology.)  there are also some viking style boats in the bay and random crystals spiking out of the water.  Very pretty.

The girls on their winxboards fly past the crystals, which are beautifully colored. Stella says her mom can help with dressmaking but her dad can’t even combine colors.  Heh.  But he’ll be happy about the surprise visit!

Throne room!  One throne, two lion statues, the usual drapey above-throne fabrics. Radius sits reading a scroll.  He gets up to hug Stella and calls her “Little Star.”  Aaaaaw.  Then immediately starts a lecture on how busy palace life is and how she should’ve called before visiting.

Stella blows him off, “Fine, fine, we won’t bother you, byeeee!”  and leads the somewhat embarrassed Winx out of the throne room.  Stella has an idea: her dad seems stressed, he needs a party to cheer him up! Aisha reminds her of their mission and Stella says she can do both. If her friends help.  The girls follow, their expressions neutral.  I would be having an expression of ‘concerned’ at this point.

  Outside the palace Stella walks with her mother while the rest of the Winx wait on a bench.  Bloom comments that it’s nice Luna is still living at the royal palace… what IS her status as the king’s ex?  Is she a queen?  She clearly still rates a royal look and that cool moon crown.

Luna suggests they look for supplies at Muppy village.  Whatever that is.  Before we can go find out Stella has another idea: a party for her mom too!  Bloom wants to talk some sense but before she can get one word out Stella conjures her winxboard and hops on, off to see the muppies!

Bloom doesn’t know what muppies are either.

They seem to live in houses made from mushrooms around the bases of trees, but the front door is size that a person can go in, so those must be big trees.  Stella says muppies are great craftsgnomes and they’ll have all the supplies Stella needs for her gown.  Musa sensibly asks why the muppies would part with rare supplies but Stella says all she’ll need to do is make them laugh.  The rest of the girls look more and more unsure about all this.

The Trix are of course watching from above.

Inside we see many bolts of fabric.  Stella sees some bluewhite fabric and decides that’s fit for a queen.  It matches her mother’s dress, a nice touch.  Then some muppies walk in, they’re short and look about like adult male pixies would, I think.  No wings.  And way too small for the scale of their shop.

Stella attempts to pay for the fabric with a joke, but it flops.  She’s so earnest about it, it’s adorable.

Musa summons soundwaves that make the muppies’ hair and beards spike out.  They see each other and burst out laughing.  Score!  Stella gets her bolt of fabric… and immediately dumps it on aisha to carry while she does some more shopping.

In the next shop Stella finds a spool of gold thread.  She starts to tell her joke then rethinks and asks Tecna for help.  Tecna conjures a funny robot that rolls around, juggles, then drops the balls on its head.  The muppy proprietor laughs.  Tecna says , “achievement unlocked” which is becoming slightly annoying as a catchphrase.  Stella gets a box of spools of thread… and immediately gives them to Aisha to carry.  This’ll end well.

In the next shop they’re coming to buy jewels to put on the dress.  This muppy has a big jewel on his hat.  Bloom offers to provide the laughs and does a really cool trick with little streams of fire from her fingers.  But it’s not actually funny, and the muppy seems worried his shop is going to catch on fire.  As Stella tries to reassure him she knocks a bowl of jewels down on her head.  Laugh achieved, she wins a bag of jewels… and immediately dumps it on Aisha to carry.  Aisha says she should’ve brought a shopping cart.

The girls hop on their winxboards (Aisha’s burdens seem to have vanished) and head back to the palace.

The Trix hop down for their turn.

Darcy: “We don’t have to make these things laugh to get what we need do we?”

Icy: “I’d rather make them cry.”

Stormy: “We’ll let the Winx do all the work for us then take the prime star from them when they least expect it.”

Too bad, it would’ve been fun to see what kind of dress they’d have made.

Back at the palace Stella is working on a dress not unlike the folded-chiffon dresses they wore on Andros in the Sirenix episodes.  It’s pale blue/lavender with a skirt that’s short in front and long in back, blue ribbon trim, one shoulder, a wide ribbon choker, and jewels on the bodice.  it’s not at all in Stella’s colors and really looks more her mother’s style.  I wonder if that’s on purpose, a nod to Stella seeing her her as a true queen.

The other girls bring party stuff: flowers and ribbons, chocolate cake and lemon cake.  As you can guess, one parent likes one thing and one parent likes the other.  Stella decides they’ll use both decorations and magics the cakes together into a lemon-chocolate cake which is not a flavor combination I have ever heard of.  Lemon-cinnamon cake, however, is amazing.

Bloom manages to reroute Stella into trying on the dress.

Nighttime, outside, Stella is wearing the dress and her Solarian crown.  The other girls admire her confidence… and a door of light appears!

Cosmix time! Through the door!  The Trix follow, because of course they were hanging around.

The girls appear outside a beautiful pearly sphere with another sphere inside it. Inside is the prime star.

Everybody tries to fly in, but only Stella and Stormy can pass through, maybe because they’re the most confident.  But when they grab for the prime star they get zapped to…

Stella in her dress meeting the same three courtiers from the simulation.  Stella guesses this is a magical test, but at least this time she’s dressed for the setting!  She sees her parents and runs to them, asking if they like the party she set up.

But Radius says they have nothing to celebrate: Luna is leaving.  Stella can choose who to go with.  She looks back and forth between them, unable to choose.

Stormy arrives back at Valtor’s place where he yells at her for being late.  Stormy says she can come and go as she pleases and Valtor blasts all three Trix into the walls.  Icy and Darcy fall down into the chasm on either side of Valtor’s throne, hanging on by their fingers.   Valtor declares he’s powerful enough not to need them anymore.  Icy and Darcy yell for help, saying they can’t fly anymore.  Stormy does an evil grin that kinda makes me root for her.

Back at the palace Stella watches her parents walk away.  She starts crying, saying she doesn’t want to choose.

Stormy gets her badass on!  She can still fly, and still do magic, and she throws some at Valtor.  “You can’t treat me like that!  And you can’t treat my sisters like that!  She rescues both Icy and Darcy and declares, ‘Because I’m the most powerful witch in the magic universe!”

Go Stormy!

Back with the prime star, Stormy wins!  She gets the star!

Stella realizes, “It didn’t mean a dress, it means the confidence a queen uses to fulfill her duty, no matter how difficult.”

But it’s too late, Stormy’s got the prime star and the Trix escape with it. Stormy also said, “Guess I showed you two!” to her sisters, which did not make Icy a happy camper!

Stella stands defeated.

Stormy presents the prime star to Valtor.  

“I knew I could count on you, Stormy.  Keep this up and you’ll earn more than compliments.  I’m talking about your freedom from my magic bond.”

Stormy gloats.  Icy snarls.

Back on Solaria Stella’s wearing her new dress and the other girls are in their dresses from Andros.  Party time!  Stella worries about the preparations but it’s all perfect.

“No it isn’t! I failed the test!  I wasted time on that dress instead of focusing on my confidence!”

Bloom says anyone could’ve made that mistake, and Stella says, ‘Except that I did!”  and now the Trix have the star.

Cute moment of Bloom saying they love everything about Stella, the way she’s there for them, not just her confidence, and the Winx get all teary. Stella says she’s lucky to have friends like them, and Bloom says she’s lucky to have family that love her.

Luna comes in and admires Stella’s dress.  Stella says her mother was her inspiration, so I guessed that right.  Radius loves the chocolate-lemon cake.  They tell Stella that she’s their happiness, and there are hugs.  Aaw.

Jacob vs your cat

inspiration sometimes comes at weird moments, like when you’re trying to play stardew valley but your cat comes to bother you. tell me if you would like to see this kind of thing of one of the other assassin’s, or an operator from r6s okbye (๑•́ ₃ •̀๑)

You and Jacob are in the living room, both comfortably doing something for yourself. The pleasant silence is only filled by the rain drumming against the windows and the howling of the wind around the small apartment.

Jacob had pulled one the comfortable chair towards the coffee table and was now bend over some paperwork, playing with his pen, somehow unable to leave it in one place for longer than a minute. Currently it was balance on his upper lip. You’re sprawled across the couch reading a book when you notice your cat, Muppet, walk in from the bedroom. She blinks slowly, her eyes sort of squinting and one of those funny cat smiles on her face.

Muppet walks into the small living room area and looks around for a moment, clearly contemplating where she’s going to nap next. Warily she eyes Jacob over the coffee table, Jacob eyeing her back just as warily.

The three of you have been living together for almost two months and still the cat and the assassin didn’t seem to get along. You understood the careful behaviour coming for Muppet, you had adopted her from the streets and didn’t know what sort of life she had before you took her in. Jacob too came from the streets, quite literally falling into your apartment. But he was actually capable of speech so you knew there were no traumatic events involving cats in his past.

You sigh, coming to the conclusion that is was most likely just a case of mutual distrust. These living conditions were new to all of you and eventually both of them would come to terms with it.

Muppet saunters around the coffee table eyeing one of the empty chair, then looks at Jacob. He sits back a little like he is trying to make space for her to jump in his lap. She decides against it and instead moves past him toward the couch where you are.

‘Hello Muppy.’ You greet her with a stroke over the head, she leans into it, closes her eyes and purrs, enjoying your attention. Swiftly she hops onto the couch and waddles onto you abdomen. She turns around a few times kneading your flesh like you’re a pillow she is trying get comfortable on. She almost settles down when she decides that it is not good enough, gets up again and turns to face you, kneading her way up toward you chest. You can see her coming but for some reason it always takes you by surprise when she mindlessly stands on one of your boobs, leaning on it with her weight. You huff, slightly uncomfortable.

‘Hey,’ Both you and Muppet turn to look at Jacob, still sitting in his chair looking at you on the couch. ‘That’s my job, cat.’ You manage a huffy laugh as Muppet, seemingly unaffected by Jacobs words, continues kneading your chest. ‘I’m warning you...’ You’re giggling now, both because of Jacob trying to argue with a cat and because Muppet is now vigorously purring, rubbing her head on your face.

‘Alright, that’s it.’ Jacob gets up from his chair and comes over to the couch. One hand on the cushion beneath you, the other leaning on the headrest he lower himself towards you. He buries his face in Muppet s back, which she arcs trying to get away form the weird human. Finally when she realises that she can’t go any lower she jumps out away from you, settling in the windowsill and start washing herself.

Jacob’s face lands in your chest and he sighs contently. ‘That’ll teach her.’ All you can do is laugh at his silly behaviour. He is warm and heavy against you as his body settles between your legs. ‘Should I knead you chest and give you love head buds too?’ he smirks and you pull your fingers through his hair. ‘Will you purr as well?’ you ask smiling. ‘Oh, most definitely’ He purrs against your lips as he leans in for a kiss.
