It's so weird and messed up to me how society puts marriage on this pedestal as something we must aspire for as part of growing up, and how it's literally treated as something folks in committed long term relationships have to do in order to be "truly committed" or "truly serious" or "truly longterm".

Like why does a relationship have to have a legal contract involved that is sanctioned by and dissolvable only by the law to be considered valid and true?? Why do folks have to enter a legal commitment contract to be considered "actually truly for-reals serious" long term partners? Goverment's really gotta be in our business in order for us to be seen as fully adults or for partnerships to be seen as fully valid? Hell no!! You kidding me?? Society so weird for that fr 😭

No hate to anyone ofc, but the way marriage is largely considered an expectation for people and for partnered relationships is so weird and damaging.

Twelfth Doctor Style ✨

It's Doctor Disco 📱🪩 🕶️ 🎸

Finally finished the twelfth doctor edit! Inspired by Moonbike's amazing second doctor edit (go watch it, it's awesome!)

[solplease]

here's something no one asked for, my ocs when they were a bit younger! :] (more like how they were in highschool lmfao) ((not aster tho sorry my king. u did not have a highschool.))

as always, close ups and more info under the cut!! OH and i put an updated relationship chart at the very end!! it's in writing this time because i thought that would be easier (it's long.) </3 i am so sorry in advance there's a lot under this HAHA

lune:

lune was a little shit, he's very rebellious now but he was even more rebellious when he was a teenager lmfao

he would CONSTANTLY get into fights, anyone that pissed him off he did not hesitate to attack

his relationship with his parents was already bad but it quickly deteriorated at this point in time

he was relatively popular in school but uh, everyone stayed away from him or tried to be on his good side because... well yk! didn't wanna get attacked..?

also people thought he was annoying but hey at least he was good looking!

he did not know he was popular btw. like at all, no idea, still doesn't know

his grades were like... okay, not great, but not bad, and he would skip class a lot... dumbass

his nails were constantly painted different colours bc cecilia would do them often, he was also never seen without a bracelet on his right wrist

huge troublemaker (some things never change!)

he hasn't really changed since then lmao

cecilia:

she was a bit more reserved back in highschool, still nice and friendly but she had a hard time approaching others because she was nervous (and others found her a bit intimidating cause she didn't smile much) ((and she's related to lune and that guy was known for being crazy))

her and lune were known as "those rich twins"

was constantly stressing over lune because of how much he got in trouble it's not like their parents would do anything about it.

kept her hair long and undyed! she liked doing different things with her hair and would try out diffy styles a lot of the time

she liked having long hair, and randomly cut it off impulsively lmfao (3 am on a school night, she couldn't sleep and was like ok why not)

good student, wasn't always at school but she was doing well

hated going to school, couldn't tell you why, just hated it

she was really awkward as a teen, but she was trying her best

always had bracelets on, if you saw her she had a bunch on her left hand, and then just one on her right.

always had her nails done (she did them herself ^^)

would always carry a few hair ties on her in case any one needed to tie their hair

one time she tried to be cool and approached a girl who didn't have a hair tie and just dropped it in her hands and walked away (she then walked out of class bc she felt embarrassed)

she tried out a lot of different clothing styles

nox:

so, he still had a shitty sleep schedule!

hard to find, he was always somewhere, no one knew where tho

good student, did not give two shits about school though

not very memorable? he was quiet and would leave as soon as he could

every time there was a group project he would ask the teacher to work alone

didn't have any friends.

his classmates were kinda scared of him lol

would braid his hair a lot

had blue on him at all times, there will ALWAYS be blue in his outfits, whether it’s the shirt, pants, or a hair tie, he always had SOMETHING blue on him (this applies now too)

no one really knew much about him, and he liked keeping it that way

fuckass edgelord (kinda)

he was always like 5 minutes late to his first class (there was a cat that would wander around in front of the school and... he couldn't resist)

he would go see that cat every day btw. before and after school, he would also go eat lunch outside so he could see the cat (and he always brought something for it too!)

loser

cassian:

very social! had a lot of friends and was very outgoing

always doodling in class

he was rather popular! and well i guess some people didn't like that

he was known as the rich kid but people were always giving him things because he was super sweet HAHA

a really bright and helpful guy

he was usually seen with a smile on his face

it's a shame how things turned out, hm?

he would bring his shoujo manga to class and just read that (he was always sitting at the back of the classroom bc he was tall so the teachers didn't really pay attention to what he was doing)

and in the rare chance his teachers saw him doing something other than classwork they would mostly let it slide, he's a good kid, so it's fine (favouritism.)

lowkey the typical popular shoujo manga male lead (wow! just like he wanted!)

really good student too, always on top of his stuff

he had these sword earrings that he really liked, he used to wear them a lot!

always wore darker and muted colours, and liked more comfortable clothing

no one said anything but they really missed him after he left, maybe if someone helped him, things would've been different

rowan:

was completely different when he was younger

always angry, or sad, no one really knew what he looked like when he smiled

no one knew what was going on with him

but he was quiet, and didn't talk to many people, he wasn't a mean or scary kid, but people were still intimidated by him

his hair was longer and uneven, it looked like he had cut random bits and pieces

he was smart but wasn't doing so well in school

it always looked like something was stressing him out

he would stay behind after school

tense and uneasy most of the time

hair super healthy tho LMFAO (his mom would oil his hair regularly!)

he was completely different around his mom though, his source of comfort

if anyone from highschool saw him now they'd think he was a completely different person (in terms of personality, since he looks... pretty much the same)

although, in the last few months of highschool, his demeanor had changed for the better, he didn't smile much still but he looked a lot more relaxed and calm

aster: (his stuff is different because he didn't have school in his world lmfao. but here's how he was as a teenager and some other info about him!)

his hair was reallyyyyyyy long when he was still in his world (you end up cutting his hair when he came here lmfao)

he was really lonely because he was the only elf in his world and he had no company whatsoever

he ended up collecting a lot of things because he would wander around a LOT

dora the explorer has nothing on him bro

he was (and is) very curious about things, he really likes to learn

he somehow learned how to braid his own hair, would spend a lot of time doing that when he was bored

he has a horrible sense of fashion, you took him shopping once and he picked out the worst fucking outfits in existence, you're basically his personal stylist cause what the hell

he likes when you dress him up though teehee

he originally saw you in a mirror he found when wandering in the forest

he became really really curious about you and accidentally yanked you to him

he was confused but really happy

blah blah blah you end up living together, we all know the story! (if you don't, you suggested he followed you because you felt bad for him cause he was PAINFULLY lonely)

you took it upon yourself to cut his hair because it was REALLY long when you first met him, he likes having his hair long though, mourned the loss of his two front strands (he will be growing them back.)

he didn't talk to you for a few days after you cut his hair for the first time, wasn't your fault... you accidentally cut off one of the front strands and had to cut the other off to make it even

fun fact about him, his eyes glow in the dark, it can be scary at times.

oh and his ears are expressive, dunno how that works but it does! and he also never goes a day without wearing earrings! he prefers the ones he came with but doesn't mind wearing whatever as long as he has earrings haha

now for the updated relationship chart! (this whole post has been about them from a few years ago but this is their current relationships with each other!)

ROWAN -> LUNE: he’s a weirdo but i’m glad we’re friends, i can handle his craziness more than most people… probably, i’d say he’s like a brother to me, but at the same time i’d probably lose my mind if he was my brother. no idea how cecilia does it

LUNE -> ROWAN: somehow he’s gotten used to me, he’s not so bad, i guess i’d call him a friend

ROWAN -> CECILIA: she’s like a little sister to me! cute! we’re good friends :] i met her through lune, they’re close! we’re like siblings the three of us

CECILIA -> ROWAN: reliable and nice! i wonder how he’s friends with lune. also. we’re the same age?? he’s real sweet tho, and he’s kind of like a big dog? haha

ROWAN -> NOX: who? :D

NOX -> ROWAN: i’ve seen him before (around the twins) he’s close to cecilia and that other guy who she's unfortunately related to

LUNE -> CECILIA: my little sister <3 we are best buddies, i’d do anything for her, she was there with me in our hardest moments, i wouldn’t let anyone hurt her, and she wouldn’t let anyone hurt me, one of the only people i’ll listen to lmao (she’s kinda scary when she’s mad at me but it’s also kinda funny?) i like bothering her but she might kill me one day though. she hides herself a lot, i don’t know why, it’s always been like this. i wonder if it’s because of me..?

CECILIA -> LUNE: dawg you’re like two minutes older than me (won’t deny the best buddies comment) he’s a really good brother though… but tough to deal with, he’s always causing some sort of trouble, but uh, well. anyway, we’re basically best friends… his words, not mine (she’s lying) he’s crazy but he’s not a bad person..? <- would defend him with her life. he’s an interesting fella that’s for sure, i’ve known him my whole life but there’s always something new with him lmfao. sometimes he comes into my room to knock something over and then he leaves, what an odd guy.

LUNE -> NOX: cocky asshole. so annoying. go to hell already. and stay away from my sister, i don't want you plaguing her with your presence.

NOX -> LUNE: fuck you insane bastard, go die.

CECILIA -> NOX: he’s pretty sweet (??????) we’re really great friends! i didn't think we would become such good friends tbh, he didn't seem to be the social type, and i'm not very social either haha... we're pretty similar i think! i can't remember who approached who first but that's fine. also, this guy has one of the worst damn sleep schedules known to man, i worry for that man. also, him and lune hate each other, no idea why.

NOX -> CECILIA: she's a close friend, i don't usually like making friends cause they end up thinking i'm weird, i don't really care about that but... i'll admit, it's nice to have a friend. she acts really differently in front of other people than she does with me, i don't think she's realized though? it's like having a cat open up to you haha, so i won't say anything. i hate her brother though, pretentious dickhead.

CASSIAN -> CECILIA: we were kids when i met her and her brother? she’s nice… and a lot like me… we still talk, she’s a good friend, thanks for keeping me company… and thanks for not asking me too many questions either

CECILIA -> CASSIAN: oh! cass is a childhood friend! we met at some event, he’s changed a lot since then, but i guess we’re more alike now? he doesn’t come out of his house much anymore, but we still text often. sometimes i see him online really late... bro... please get some sleep.... anyway, i never got to know what happened with him, and he doesn't like talking about it either, i won't pry though, because i understand.

CASSIAN -> LUNE: he’s scary, but i guess he’s not that bad..? i talk to him too, we’re not the closest, but he’s still a friend, i text him sometimes, he’s crazier than before, he was fun to hang out with when we were young, not that i don't like him anymore, he's definitely... special

LUNE -> CASSIAN: i don’t know what happened to him, but he doesn’t leave the house anymore, he’s not bad. he texts sometimes, i don’t know why because i think he’s scared of me, no idea why tho (???) i guess he’s a childhood friend? him, ceci, and i used to hang out before… well yeah, still don't know what went down

CASSIAN -> NOX: oh… i’ve never met him. cecilia’s told me about him before, lune’s mentioned him once, they have really different opinions about him

NOX -> CASSIAN: no clue, cecilia’s mentioned him before, i think he’s friends with her and… the other one.

CASSIAN -> ROWAN: another one of lune and cecilia’s friends i think? they sure are popular. (even lune???)  i dont know anything about him though

ROWAN -> CASSIAN: no idea who this guy is! 

ASTER: ??? :’D

Kn8 OC relationship chart

(ft. @izfaish's ocs with an orange outline)

[alkeneater]

A couple of days ago i felt so apathetic and thought that my hyperfixation on clone high is leaving me forever, i didn't want to rewatch the show, to see any fanart on pinterest, i marked some edits on tiktok as "not interesting", I even changed my wallpaper from clone high fanart to something else, that made me so depressed, i was like "It's over....... isn't it....."

Yesterday evening i spent inking the last pages of the third part of E!280 and listening to abandoned pools, especially the clone high intro, i replayed it like 5 times.

And you know what? WE'RE SO FUCKING BACK!!!! I feel alive again, the intro literally healed me and I want to rewatch the first season today after I come back home from college.

This fandom keeps leaving my mind and coming back for four years straight, and every time I'm reminded of clone high, i remember why I love this show so much. I've never felt such a connection with a cartoon before 🥺

It's so funny, it has cool characters, the satire, the artstyle!! I know some cartoons are objectively better (especially compared to the newer seasons), but clone high is forever in my heart and lives in my head rent-free. And I don't mind.

I wanna hear your helmet thoughts when you have time

helmets to din’s version of the creed are literally so amazing because of the connections and similarities of other religious/cultural head coverings. ofc, i’m not implying that the helmet is the SAME as a hijab or a turban or a niqab, they obviously have different rules and implications, but there ARE similarities, ones that a lot of people (such as hijabi’s) find comfort in seeing that sort of representation on screen.

helmets to din’s version of the creed are sacred and are to never be removed. not all mandalorians think, believe, or practice that way of course, and din’s covert specifically are the ‘warrior’ type of mandalorians, different from the pacifist type of mandalorians that were shown during saltine kryze’s rule of mandalore during the clone wars.

the pacifist type of people were not shown to be wearing helmets, and even some of the royal guards who DID wear helmets (shown under satine’s rule) did not wear the same type of helmet as the warrior mandalorians that lived on concordia, one of mandalores moons.

^^ the pacifist mandalorians during the clone wars (why are they all white and blond lol space racism)

^^ satine's royal guard helmets (they have similar armor but the helmet design is ofc drastically different)

most of death watch wore helmets, but they removed them casually. pre vizsla, the leader of death watch (until maul beheaded that bitch) removed his helmet openly and so did many others in the group. though they held on to the ‘warrior’ ideals of the mandalorian culture, they weren’t clearly as religious as the children of the watch.

^^ pre vizsla and other members of death watch. most wear helmets while doing their goofy little terrorism but they're seen having their helmets removed often.

after the children of the watch formed from the warrior ideals of death watch, the religious aspect of the helmet and the creed formed out of necessity. the children of the watch refuse to remove the helmet for probably many reasons, as it has protected their identity and preserves their culture and creed. one thing i LOVE about the warrior culture is how because of the helmet and armor, the mandalorians have created ways of expression that are SO interesting. they’ve adapted to create the keldabe kiss, which is a tap of the foreheads of the helmets. they also have cheers such as tapping their vambraces and pounding their chest armor. they have other forms of expression that i DESPERATELY hope to see more as the mandalorian progresses.

the rules of the helmet are simple. don’t remove it. if you remove it, you become an apostate and are deemed “mandalorian no longer”. ofc because of chapter 21, the armorer has clearly shown that the adaptation of accepting helmetless mandalorians is necessary as they progress with reviving mandalore. so more recently, they’ve begun accepting other mandalorians who do not follow the Way the same as they do. that does not necessarily mean that THEY will stop following their version of the creed, it just means that they will start accepting other versions of the creed regardless of their own personal beliefs.

anyway the helmet is clearly a religious head covering that DESERVES to be respected, as it is often a window and mirror towards the audience who relate to and who learn about religious head coverings. for me, personally as a hijabi, i see the helmet as a mirror. not that the helmet IS a hijab or niqab or anything, but because it’s the head covering is a CHOICE and it PROTECTS. i know a hijabi (my lovely mutual @hinderr) who personally views the helmet as a mirror because it is an identifier. when you see the helmet, you identify the person as a mandalorian, same way as if you see a hijabi, you (usually) identify the person as a muslim.

the helmet plays a good window as well, to show the audience more religious head covering representation. not that the audience has an excuse to complain about how they don’t agree with the religion, but just to understand a new viewpoint.

moving on, i really like the idea of warrior mandalorians not being able to sneeze. you sneeze when something foreign enters your nose that your body rejects, but since the helmet filters everything, nothing foreign is entering and therefore your body has nothing to sneeze out. kinda funny honestly but it’s cool to think about the technicalities of the helmet.

one thing i HATE about this whole thing is the designs of the helmet. specifically the stupid t-visors being for men and y-visors for women. like great job favroni, way to destroy gender roles. anyway, i think the most effective style (for any gender) is the y-visor (like bo-katan’s) because it gives you a greater vantage point for the eye position. t-visor (like din’s) is fine, i just think it’d be more comfortable to have a y-visor.

^^ bo-katan's y-visor helmet

^^ din's t-visor helmet

you can probably get why i think y-visor has a better vantage point for vision. din's t-visor does have a ton of resources and functions that help him though. i'm not gonna assume all helmets have seals, but some of the warrior mandalorians (such as din and bo) do have seals that make it impossible to remove the helmet without force (proven bc y'all can hear the pressurized hiss when they remove the helmet)

thank you SO MUCH for asking about this, i just LOVEEE talking about din’s covert and creed and ofc the helmet is my favorite thing about it. feel free to ask or follow up with anything else you wonder about.

How Shiny and Twyla Met

YAAAAAAASSSSSS, I HAVE FINALLY DONE IT!

@marinerainbow, thank you so, so much for letting me draw your OC Shiny! I’m so sorry this took forever; outlining can be so hard 😭😭😭 But it’s worth it! And I had so much fun drawing Shiny! Because she’s a hybrid Toon like the twins, I wanted to give her a blend of weasel and honey badger features. And she’s fun to color! For real, I tested out various shades of copper for her hair, fur, and underbelly. Speaking of which, @lastofautumn, I’m tagging you because I saw your reference and it gave me so much inspiration. In other words, I’m tagging you so you can receive credit! 😁 Fun fact about me, I’m a visual learner 🤣

I also saw in Rainbows’ other posts that she has freckles, so I thought why not? I haven’t drawn freckles before, so I hope they look natural enough 😅

@just-kit-ink, @weaselnerd and @slashingdisneypasta A.K.A. @wicked1will0sparkles I’m tagging you too because I know you guys love Shiny! 💜💜💜

Twisted Twyla Toonz belongs to me

Shiny Weasel belongs to @marinerainbow

Hope you guys don’t mind, I’m writing a short little fic of how these two halfies met 😊

~

It was just about sundown when the two horror Toons left the museum. Twyla’s somber mood had vanished in the last few hours she shared with Poppy, and not a single memory returned to sour the fun day she had. She couldn’t remember the last time she felt truly relaxed while out in public, if she ever felt comfortable at all.

After they left the main entrance doors, Poppy jumped up to give the taller ravenette a big, heartwarming hug. “Thank you so much for spending the day with me! This was so much fun!” she smiled wide, bunny teeth sparkling.

Twyla chuckled, returning the hug. “Yeah, it was.”

The rabbit hopped off and waved. “Anyway, I’m off for a date! I’ll see you later.” She turned on her heel, about to walk across the road.

Twyla rose a brow, calling out, “Wait, whoa, whoa. Where are you going?”

Poppy looked over her shoulder, her face painted with confusion. “I’m…walking home?”

Walking home? The vigilante raised both brows, glancing at the other side of the street. It was a vast, idiosyncratic section located in Uptown Toontown, home to many buildings and businesses alike. Hotels, grocery stores, and bakeries made the upper side look decent, classy and even friendly, but Twyla learned long ago to never judge the streets when the sun sets. And to never walk home alone at night.

She couldn’t shake off the uneasiness and met the lady’s gaze. “You wouldn’t have by any chance walked here to meet me, have you?”

Poppy hesitated for a moment, then answered. “Yes.”

“Absolutely not,” Twyla shook her head firmly and dug into her pocket. “Where’s your crib? I’m driving you home.”

“Huh?” Poppy’s ears perked up, blushing while shaking her head. “Aw, Twyla, that’s very kind of you, but you really don’t have to do that! I can handle walking on my own.”

“I know you can,” the gentle-hearted doe’s smile faltered. Twyla’s smile was sincere, but there was no doubting the concerned worry in the young halfie's eyes. She knelt to the rabbit’s level and gently touched her shoulder, “You’re far more capable than people think, but I haven’t been in Toontown long enough to know the ropes. Plus, you’ve done so much for me today and I want to repay you in any way I can.”

She added, “Besides, I still have time to kill, and I feel like exploring a little longer.”

Poppy knew there was no trace of condescending and Twyla’s response was genuine, but something in her gut told her Twyla was just going to follow her home if she refused. Moony was already a formidable opponent, and she can only imagine what this younger, more agile wolf was capable of. Why did that send a shiver down her spine?

But then, a lightbulb shone above her head. She hid her excitement with a sigh, “OK, you can escort me home.”

Twyla internally sighed in relief. Thank God. She reached behind her and pulled out…a motorcycle helmet? “Good thing I bring helmets just in case. It’s a little small, and Echo needs a new one, but it’ll do.”

She jerked her head, “Let’s go.”

Poppy accepted the helmet offered, even more confused as she followed her companion down the sidewalk. “Thank you, but why do I need a hel…” she trailed off, transfixed. “met?”

What she saw before her was a death machine beyond descriptive power and beauty. Twyla was leaning against a massive motorcycle, specifically accustomed to fit her size and body length. A hybrid bred by some of Harley Davidson’s finest of the 80’s, FLH Electra-Glide Shovelhead and Goth Girl Sportster. Its armor was painted glossy onyx, the gas tank designed with the skull of a ghostly wolf surrounded by beautiful purple roses and leaving the fenders pure jet black. Silver components sparkled like crystals, glimmering brightly against the harsh remnants of the fiery sun and as Poppy continued to observe the vehicle, she noticed something that left her even more awestruck. The brakes were welded with metallic, silvery wolf skulls and eyes of pure, crystalline amethyst.

“Sacré bleu,” Poppy whispered, speechless. “Twyla, it’s so beautiful.”

“Merci,” Twyla smiled and hoisted her leg over the seat with her hands firmly clutched on the handlebars. “Hop in.”

The doe quickly fastened her helmet and sat behind Twyla, clutching her forearms around the taller Toon’s waist. Within a burst of energy, the engine roared and the two horror Toons drove off into the streets of Uptown Toontown.

It was no trouble locating Poppy’s humble abode, to be honest. The address was already memorized, and Twyla was able to identify different addresses thanks to her enhanced vision, but it was really the scent that gave her the most assistance. From within a few miles, she detected the lovely aroma of poppy flowers and couldn’t help but chuckle. Cute.

After an easy ride with no traffic, Twyla parked her bike at the driveway leading to a large, luxurious estate shielded by olive trees and decorated with a canvas of poppy flowers. The house was big enough to fit more than one resident, and the lights were on. Does Poppy have a roommate?

The French doe in question removed the borrowed helmet and hopped off, circling the frontier and gently taking Twyla by the hand. “Thank you for the ride, but I must ask you to stay for a little longer. There’s someone I want you to meet!”

Yep, she’s living with someone, the halfie confirmed and allowed herself to be escorted to the pathway towards the front door. Originally, she would’ve been hesitant to meet new strangers given the many unfortunate encounters she’s experienced. But for some reason, she felt safe and relaxed. Plus, Poppy seemed eager to introduce her, so it couldn’t be bad, right?

Right?

The duo walked even further when Poppy sensed her apprehension and gave her a reassuring pat on the hand, “It’s all right, sweetie. You’ll see! You and my wife have so much in common!”

Twyla’s ears perked, curious. “Wife?”

Just then, the front door opened. Another lady made her presence known.

It was a jill, a female Toon weasel. She stood only a few inches taller than Poppy but carried herself in such grace that models would kill for. Her body was lithe, blessed with womanly curves tracing her physique in flawless ink. The woman’s fur and hair were different shades of copper, but saturating her underbelly and throat was a soft lighter hue. Her dark copper hair was styled into perfection, voluminous curls poised above her shoulders which showed Twyla she took her time working on her good looks.

She was quite a beauty, and her glamour seemed to shine. A myriad of freckles kissed her cheeks and shoulders, scattered like constellations in the night sky and her full lips were painted with ruby red lipstick. And her eyes…were absolutely radiant. Her eyes were two glimmering green garnets, accented with lilac eyeshadow and full lashes that made her eyes shine so brightly it was striking. The outfit she wore spoke volumes; she wore a form-fitting purple high-neck halter dress accentuating her curves perfectly decorated with a beaded rhinestone collar embellished with purple sapphires. Shining pearls pierced her ears, a matching double pearl necklace hung comfortably around her neck, and the purple heels she wore gave her an extra boost in height.

The jill’s eyes met Poppy’s and a warm, wide smile painted her face. “Poppy!” she greeted her wife. Her voice was a soft, breathy cloud laced with raspy, seductive charm that made her sound almost innocent if not for the dangerous lavender-painted claws. She spread her arms wide, and the doe was engulfed in a loving embrace before the two shared a deep, longing kiss.

It was only then did Twyla notice something. First, it was the fragrance. Something sweet surrounded the woman, a lovely floral aroma. The scent lingered on the brunette’s lips where Twyla was focused on. It was earthy and natural, and sweet like honey.

Honey? The younger Toon cocked her head, curious. Weasels don’t particularly like honey, as far as she was concerned. She hasn’t met a lot of weasels, but none of them struck her as the type to prefer nectary culinary delights over rabbit stew. The jill definitely wasn’t wearing any perfume, so why did she smell like honey—Wait.

Her teeth, Twyla remembered. Poppy’s wife had a peculiar set of teeth when she smiled. They weren’t razor-sharp like a weasel’s, and they weren’t yellow. She had small white, pearly fangs. And her ears were small, coated with light copper innards. Toon weasels don’t have those kind of ears. Twyla’s eyes moved forward and stopped at the sight of the lady’s tail. Besides the color and shape of their fangs, there is only one other physical aspect weasels have in common: they have streaks on their tails. She did not.

She had honey, there’s no streak on her tail, and her teeth were too small for a weasel’s. As she analyzed the woman’s appearance, realization dawned upon Twyla. It was as clear as crystal. She is a hybrid Toon. Half-weasel, half-honey badger.

Another halfie, Twyla’s eyes widened, amazed. Just like me.  

The two pulled away from their kiss, their arms still entangled. Poppy’s wife looked over her shoulder and finally noticed there was a guest. Her eyes meet hers…

…and her smile drops.

“Who’s this?” she asked, lazily pointing to her with her slender, pointed nose.

Poppy turned to her wife’s direction and beamed. “Oh! Right, how silly of me.” The doe touched the brunette’s shoulder before she introduced, “Twyla, this is my wife, Shiny. Shiny, this is Twyla Toonz. She’s new here in Toontown!”

The older halfie, Shiny, raised a brow. “A newbie, huh?”

“Yes!” Poppy nodded, standing between the two hybrids while still smiling. “I told her that you both have so much in common, and I thought it would be the perfect opportunity for you two to meet!”

Twyla gulped and waved, “Um, hi?”            

Shiny slowly crossed her arms, never taking her eyes off her. A tense, awkward silence permeated the atmosphere as the smaller hybrid studied her. Her gaze was unwavering, stoic. She’s analyzing me, Twyla realized. It was very rare to come across a fellow Toon hybrid, no matter what generation or class they’re from. It was so rare, it’s almost too good to be true for some halfies.

Which is probably why she doesn’t trust me right now, the horror Toon internally sighed. If that’s the case, I don’t blame her.

Shiny continued to study her with that look on her face. It was starting to make Twyla feel uncomfortable after a few minutes. I should probably apologize and leave now.

She opened her mouth to speak—

And felt Shiny’s delicate, manicured hands gently squishing her face.

“Why are you so cute?”

“Ma’am, please stop.”

No one, not even Shiny, is immune to Twyla’s overwhelming cuteness 😂
