A snippet based on the episode "Too Cool".

-

"Oh, I know another way we could heat up. Hugging!"

Smitty turned to look at Scott, his eyes lighting up at his friend's suggestion."Yeah! When you hug someone, you share your body heat together with the other person," he explained.

"Like this!"

Scott extended his arms to Nina, and the latter giggled. She went in as they both pulled each other close in a comfortable embrace. "You're right, this is warm."

"Maybe if we all gather in one big group hug, that should heat us all up!" Rich suggested.

"It's worth a try." Smitty nodded.

"Get cuddling!" Dave exclaimed, clasping his hands together. But before he could move, the others had already circled in close to him, trapping him in the middle of their embrace.

Smitty wrapped his arm around Rich and leaned closer to him, his other arm extending to Scott who was hugging Nina and Dave. Nina rested her head on Dave as she was pushed onto him slightly by the long-haired Mover. Rich was leaning onto Dave from the other side, his head resting comfortably on his shorter friend's red hat, arms encircling the others. They stayed still, closing their eyes and smiling as they melted into the hug. It was still considerably cold, but at least they were warm enough to hear their thoughts.

"Um guys," Dave interrupted the silence, opening his eyes again. "We can't just keep hugging each other."

"Aww, why not?" Scott asked, his tone a hint of disappointment.

"Well, we can't move when we're like this." Dave wriggled, attempting to set himself free.

The others swayed left and right, pulling the group hug to different directions. They stepped to the side carefully, though it didn't take long for them to lose their balance. Warehouse Mouse watched as the Movers and Nina all tumbled to the floor, landing on top of one another. They slowly sat up, checking to see if whoever was near them was okay.

"Dave's right. We still have to find out why the Warehouse is so cold," Rich chimed in.

"Oh, right.." Scott stood up, helping Nina get back on her feet.

Once they were all standing up again, they were back to shivering.

"It was a nice hug though," Nina commented, and the Movers voiced their agreements, nodding.

i got tagged by @chuukitten like a month ago lmao oops

rules: answer 21 questions and tag 21 people (im too lazy lol im sorry i just like to talk about myself so thats what im gonna do HAHA)

im gonna put this under a read more cause it got long

2. zodiac: i dont do zodiac shit lol sorry

3. height: i dont actually know, im bad with remembering things like that

4. hogwarts house: the “fuck jk rowling” house (okay fine im hufflepuff)

5. last thing i googled: farmersonly… dont worry about it

6. favorite musicians: i mean yall know my kpop ones haha… loona, dreamcatcher, fromis 9, pentagon, exid, red velvet, twice, eyedi, weki meki, etc……. outside of kpop oh man where do i begin… its tough cause ive basically only listened to kpop in 2019 but okay so i’d say the band idles, death grips, grimes, streetlight manifesto, huh idk i have a lot that i like but i dont know who else i would consider my “favorites” at the moment

7. song stuck in my head: right now its pirate king by ateez

8. following: 1800 lol

9. followers: on this blog 264, but 724 on my main

10. do you get asks: occasionally

11. amount of sleep: i should sleep way, way more than i do

12. what are you wearing: pajamas

13. dream job: hmmm. i mean i dont dream of working, i dont have a dream “job”, but if the question is about my dream “thing i wanna do a lot of in my life” then i guess my answer is… idk… something where i can just engage in whatever is interesting to me at the moment. like in the vein of my tumblr blogs where i can just post and talk about stuff im interested in. idk if that means being a youtuber or journalist or just someone who does something else and engages in my interests as a hobby, but yeah. or something to do with linguistics of course. though like i dont wanna be a teacher and thats basically the only path lmao (that i would even consider, anyway)

14. dream trip: you know i dont actually have a lot of interest in travel. idk, it stresses me out. i cant think about going places without worrying about how i’ll get around, what i’ll be doing, what i’ll be able to eat since i have a lot of food anxieties… idk. if someone i love wanted to go on a trip with me i’d probably be down, but i dont really know on my own.

15. instruments: i wish i could do music lol

16. languages: are amazing and i love them. okay fine lol i only speak english, but i took german in middle and high school, i took latin in high school as well, then took latin and ancient greek in college, and then after college i did a lot of looking into hungarian, vietnamese, a little bit of indonesian, turkish, and polish, and then recently i’ve been pretty focused on korean for obvious reasons. i speak none of those languages tho, lol. if i heard someone speaking some of those i could get the gist of what types of things theyre talking about most likely, but honestly my whole thing with languages is that im more interested in learning about the intricacies of how languages work and especially how they change over time than i am in actually learning the language. i’d love if my dumb adhd brain allowed me to focus hard enough and really commit to becoming fluent in a second language because so far i’ve only steadily approached being barely conversational, i’ve never actually reached even that point yet lol. and being only fluent in english makes me feel like a stupid american lol. i pick up bits of language really easily, but the rigor of learning ALL the vocab and ALL the little details you need to become actually fluent is where i fall off. 

like whenever i go through an anime phase, i pick up lots and lots of japanese. like if they keep using a word i’ll see it in the subtitles and figure that it must mean that, and then i’ll pay attention to the endings they use and how they inflect it and i’ll make little inferences about what those signify, so then when i hear a word that i dont recognize but it has a grammatical ending that i know, i can infer the meaning of the word from context, and im going through this same learning process with korean now and it’s super super fun and i’m loving how much progress ive made (though i could have been making progress like three times as fast if i was actually taking a korean class)… but the actual work of learning common phrases, learning the sheer volume of vocab, all that stuff… yeah that’s where i fall off. so idk how fluent i’ll get in korean, but i’m down to find out, lol. maybe this is the one i’ll really try to focus on and achieve it with!

17. 10 favorite songs as of now: of all time????? um okay i cant possibly do that without spending a looong time thinking about it, so i’ll just do the first ten songs that come to my mind when i think of songs that i adore more than most others

18. if you were an animal: red panda maybe haha

19. favorite food: pizza cause im a garbage trash person

20. random fact: idk... if yall couldnt tell and didnt already know this, i’m a linguist haha. i went to school for linguistics, i majored in linguistics and classics (latin, ancient greek, etc) though honestly i was only into the languages, roman and greek history is cool and all but not really what i’m most into. majoring in classics was a mistake lol but oh well. i didnt end up graduating though because of unrelated reasons.... adhd, depression, just a general sense that the way the whole system works just wasnt made for me and it didnt click with me and ive never been good at forcing myself to be good at school... and like i was tired of hearing from professors that i have “a very organized mind when it comes to linguistics stuff” (something a greek professor said that meant a lot to me) or that i “understand how language works better than most other students my age” and that im a natural and that its impressive how nuanced my understanding of these concepts is.... while also failing or almost failing all of the classes whose professors said that about me. like basically all those statements were followed by a “, but” or a “, so if you just-”.... sigh. so i guess i’m not “actually” a linguist. whatever “actually” means there. 

so other random fact i guess, which is still related but anyway... i have a conlang! that’s a constructed language. ive been working on a language for like 6 or 7 years. its at a state right now where it’s not really something i can just like... speak? it was at one point, maybe. but basically what i like to do is try out various ideas i have about language and phonology and morphology, so my language is kind of like a sandbox lol. if youre a scientist you conduct experiments, if youre a linguist i think you should try making a conlang. its not a common hobby but its something i spend an unconscionable amount of time thinking about lol. like basically 24/7. i’m almost always thinking about my word for x thing im seeing or thinking about, or like some sound change i heard that some language had, and how that would sound if applied to the words in my language... 

like the reason my language isnt at a point right now where i can speak it is because getting into korean has made me think about massively reconfiguring how the grammar works. its always been kinda like latin and german, cause those are what i was taking when i started, and then it got kinda like ancient greek, so the grammar has/had a lot of complicated conjugations that are just honestly so superfluous... its such a mess lol... i have a much better understanding of how those systems come about in language now, so even if i remake my language to have verb conjugations like latin or greek, it’d be a much more coherent and natural system than the one thats existed in my language for years... but after learning about hungarian and korean in particular, i really wanna try making it a lot more logical like those languages are. but my big thing is phonology (speech sounds), so i just get hung up on sound changes and cool new consonants and vowels to add, so i keep putting off actually fixing my language lol. also ive become attached to my awful, amateurish words haha. im so bad at this... a real conlanger like tolkien or the dude who made the languages for game of thrones would look at mine and scoff haha. most of my words are just straight up stolen from words in latin, german, many others, but predominantly... english. i just mangle english words and call it my own lol, and ive been trying to replace those words with original ones that i made up arbitrarily... like my word for nose is just “nass” and my word for dog is “handir” which is just based on english “hound” and german “Hund” and stuff lol. i wanna change those

21. my aesthetic: if you actually read this long ass post, you know that my aesthetic is just “too much information” but not in a sexy way or even an interesting way

EXTRA.

TALENTS :  Singing, reading people, computer skills, general domestic skills BAD AT : Fashion, Math, some physical things bc she’s lowkey weak lol TURN ONS :  Subtle Confidence, drive, enthusiasm, understanding TURN OFFS :  Unnecessary displays of badassery, childish stubbornness HOBBIES :  Nails, telling stories, writing songs TROPES :

Idol Singer: And its no exaggeration, either. She can sing like an angel and is often idolized by her peers for her personality. No matter what verse she’s in, singing and music will always be a part of her; and no one would have it any other way.

School Idol: Sweet, a natural fixer-uper, charismatic and a friend to everyone—It’s not really hard to understand how or why she became idolized by her peers + adults alike. She plays around a bit with this trope, being also a massive character archetype Riku delves into in many of her verses for both the good and the bad (example: Main and Persona 5 verse—)

Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: Not only is her hair definitely the main focus when it comes to first impressions, Riku is a sweet and personable young girl who’s happy to lend a helping hand. 

Wise Beyond Her Years: BOY IS SHE. Not a stereotypical teen genius, but a girl who’s maturity has put quite a few adults in her life to shame under the “in her own world” image everyone sees her as. Many choose to downplay or full-on deny this aspect of her due to having too big of a grip on their perception of her; which isn’t that hard to understand. But the levels of wisdom and comprehension she holds is admirable, if not bittersweet. She admits that she’s an old soul, and with what she’s been through? It’s no wonder. It helps her quite a bit to keep up with her friends and understanding people in the way she does, though!

Chekhov’s Gunman: Slightly played with, as she’s known as Miss Schoolwide Sweetheart by default. She’s depicted as a one-off character whom is only there to help a protagonist before disappearing when unneeded, but taking a deeper look, she’s actually tied to a multitude of people in many different ways—Some for shocking or interesting reasons.
