I LOVED THE SMILE HOOK FIC. So can we get more hook x fem reader. Maybe like reader is like Elsa so she has ice powers but is like scared of having friends? Sorry I explained it bad😭

Ice Cold

Paring: James Hook x Snow Princess Reader

Summary: As a girl, you loved the snow, ice skating, anything cold. However when you grew up — you learned the dangers of your power, and that snapped you out of control. Everyone had seen the incident, and they shunned you.

The cold hearted princess, they called you. Your heart had frozen over. No one could trust you — your own sister was afraid. So alone you became. All because of a mistake of a little girl.

Instead of choosing a side. Villain or hero. You had accepted your role in the shadow. You hadn’t expected for someone to shine the sun on you — thawing out that ice wall you’ve built. Especially not a pirate.

Warnings: Mentions of blood.

Navigation — other works!

Sighing I placed my notebook onto the desk, my glove hands flipping to the next free page.

Merlin’s class had been relatively quiet, for once. There was no singing, no dancing, no fights. This was quite rare, and k had a feeling it wouldn’t last.

Writing my name on the page, I had started to write down all of Merlin’s notes on the board.

The door slammed open and a bunch of Vk’s came in noisy. I knew the silence wouldn’t last.

“Sorry we late teach!” Some kid said with a British accent. I didn’t bother to look up and just continued writing.

“Hades go sit by Maleficent. James you can sit by ms. Y/N.” Footsteps made their way in my direction and the chair beside me was pulled out.

Boots slammed onto the table. I slowly turned my head to him. He was leaning back in his chair one arm behind his head as if he was relaxing.

“Do you mind?” He looked over to me, “not at all lassie. And you can just rip a page out your notebook to write my notes on.” The audacity this man has.

“I’m not doing your work, now get your filthy feet off the table.” I shoved his legs, not really budging him, before making sure it didn’t dirty my gloves.

“Filthy? I bathe quite often thank you very much.” He finally set his feet down, and adjusted his position to the edge of his seat. “Who the hell are you?”

“None of your business, no use that good had of use, and write what’s on the board.” I kept my glare sharp as I gave him a spare pen and paper.

Before he could say anything else I focus back on the board and continued writing.

“We got off on the wrong foot.” Literally. “My name is Captain James Hook. You are?” I looked down to the hand he held out to shake.

No point in being rude, “Y/N, princess of Ariendelle.” I disregarded his hand. Just because I have the gloves on — doesn’t mean I should go acting recklessly.

The hand dropped, and thankfully Hook fell silent the rest of the class. I started to pack up my things, and Hook grabbed my attention when he immediately sat up and went to discuss something with the teacher.

Not your business Y/N. I quietly walked out the class, whatever few people in my way to my next one hurried out of it. Guess they didn’t want to risk getting involved with me.

❄︎

I walked into Merlin’s class expecting the seat next to me to be empty, considered how many other seats were available. However my assumption was wrong as a certain pirate sat with his feet on the table. Just like before.

“Ah Y/N let me talk to you for a second.” The few other people in the class looked to me as Merlin gesture for me to come over to him.

Doing as told I walked in front of his desk. “I really need you to tutor James Hook.” I immediately started to shake my head no. “Listen I don’t like him.” Not true, but I didn’t love him either. I was indifferent about the man — what I wasn’t indifferent about was tutoring someone that will give me attention.!

I liked my little spot in the back, tutoring probably the most popular guy in school sends a direct beam of light onto me.

"Please Y/N. This is the only way to get his grade up. Besides you owe me for giving you that extension." I released an annoyed sigh; great he's cashing in his 'IOU'.

Very well. I turned back around and took my seat, kicking hook's feet off the table in the process. "You're going to need to start bring supplies to school." Was the first command I listed off. I ripped out a paper and gave him a pen. "Now pay attention to the teacher then tell me what you don't understand after the lesson." That was the second command I listed off, and surprisingly he did as told.

❄︎

Over the course of the next three weeks Hook did everything I asked — and his increasing grade was the proof of it.

However tragedy then struck. Book decided to sit at my empty table for lunch — and bring his friends.

I went to walk to a different empty table, but he was quick to jump up and push me down on the bench. This is kidnapping, I’m positive.

“Y/N this is my friends.” I did a little wave, my face void of emotion but annoyance laced in my eyes.

“Hey! I’m Morgie — yk? Son of Morgana.” I gave a nod, I knew who all these people are. Perks of being popular? The whole school knows you.

“So Y/N,” the ‘leader’ of the group spoke. “Any interesting qualities we should know about?”

Oh just some ice powers that i sometimes can’t control and it can do some serious damage to others. And if you were to ask around I’m sure someone from my home land would blab.

“None that I think would interest you.” Uliana gave a small hum.

“I think having powers would interest me, especially if you’re getting involved with hook.”

“Me?” I looked around — ready to deny the claim that was 100% false. “I’m not getting involved with the pirate.”

James did a light gasp and dramatically put his hand over his heart. “I’m hurt darling. I thought we were closer than that your highness.”

So maybe me and Hook made a deal not to mention our backround to each other.

“Just how powerful are you?” The sea witch spoke up again. Causing me to stop the fighting between me and Hook. “That’s my business. Besides — it’s prohibited for me to use them.” I looked away from the eyes on me and over to the pink bubbly princess of hearts.

Everyone liked her, well besides the Vk’s. It was a shame — cause once she makes one mistake, gives once scare to the people there a high chance she’ll be turned away from everyone.

“What? And you follow those rules?” Morgie son of Morgana asked, as if I grown two heads. I smiled at the blonde boy sarcastically.

“When you get in trouble, in fights, break the rules, what does your mother do to you?”

He smiled oblivious. “I get ice cream.” I raised my brow waiting for him to piece things together. After a few seconds of him not getting it, I couldn’t help but roll my eyes.

“Me breaking the rules isn’t worth getting on my parents nerves.” Something Maleficent I know would disagree with.

Her parents were quite like mine, hating her rebellious nature, but she loved the fact that she was a disgrace in her mother’s eye.

“Oh.” He said, now finally getting it. Once I tried to be the perfect daughter to get my parents love, but when that didn’t work I was mean and cruel to them. It didn’t change anything so now I just ignore them till I can’t. They do the same.

❄︎

I started to tie up my laces, ready to skate on the ice. The rink was closed by this late of night, but I had stolen the key and copied me an extra one.

The night crew don’t come until three more hours, leaving me with the perfect alone atmosphere.

Or it was.

A person sat next to me, causing me to look — thinking it was some kind of security. However the person that sat next to me was no other than James Hook.

“What the hell are you following me?” He opened his mouth to answer, but I cute him off with another question. “How the hell you even get in here? The doors are locked.” I looked around — trying to see if anyone else was here.

“Pirate.” Was his answer, as if it was an obvious one. “What are you doing here?” I know for a fact Hook doesn’t care about ice skating.

“Is this what you do in your spare time?” He asked, deflecting the question.

I rolled my eyes, and for a moment I could feel my hands starting to freeze up. I stood up, taking a few steps away from him before I grabbed my gloves on the seat next to me.

There’s a reason I skate alone and it’s cause the cold makes my power grow stronger and haywire.

“You’re shaking. Are you cold?” I shook my head no, but before I could say it he had already wrapped his coat around me.

“I don’t need this. The cold doesn’t bothe—“ I cut myself off based on the look he gave me. I felt myself release a shaky breath, trying to step away from him, making sure not to fall in these skates.

It didn’t matter though because every step back I took, he took a step forward. “You’re jumpy today.” He commented. “Yeah, you’re kinda in my zone.” It reply was immediate and my tone was snarky.

“What’s the matter?” For the first time in a long time it had actually felt like I had been seen. Not looked at, not glared at, but seen. Like he had actually seen me in this moment and not the facade I put on.

“It’s best you leave me alone Hook.” I slightly pushed his chest away, and when I went to pull my hand back he caught it in his. Keeping it pushed up against his chest.

“Why?” Because despite what people think I’m not a monster and I don’t want to see you get hurt.

“I don’t do friends.” That was true, it was best for everyone. It was best I be alone.

“I’m not looking to be your friend.” My hands started to shake, and I felt hurt. It had been a while since I’ve felt that. Someone not wanting to be my friend. Being hurt someone didn’t want to be around me.

“Ask me what I want.” I tried to pull my hand back once again, feeling my hands start to form mist. However he still didn’t let go.

“Ask me what I want.” He repeated. My breath hitched as my nerves spiked. “What do you want?”

“I want to be more than your friend.”

I shook my head, not wanting to believe what he said. He couldn’t want that, he shouldn’t.

“You don’t mean that.”

“I do.”

All I’ve ever wanted was someone I could lean on, but I learned at a very young age that the only pillar in my life is one made of ice.

“Go back to the dorms Hook.” I finally got my hand free and skated across the ice, away from him.

❄︎

You had expected Hook to leave you alone after you rejected him. However that just drove him more.

Since that night, any chance he has he’ll try to talk to you, give you gifts he definitely stole, and always flirt.

Flirting was second nature to the pirate, but that was nothing compared to the way he took it with you. It was quite known to the whole school, that you had Hook wrapped around your finger.

The more Hook got to know you, the more he vowed to do whatever to make you happy. He was falling, but he was desperate to drag you down with him.

❄︎

You had watched the ice rink, empty. Tonight you made no effort to get on the ice. Tonight you were alone, and you hated it.

Out of a moment of weakness you called Hook and asked him to come to you. He did so without question, and as fast as he could.

So you watched the Ice rink, with him, in silence. He hadn’t asked you what was wrong — he knew you need to be with someone, not interrogated by them.

“When I was a little girl my parents and sister had loved my magic.” It was the first thing said, and Hook let you get everything off your chest.

“One time this duke had came to our home. I had asked to leave me alone, but he kept prying and prying, making me uncomfortable.”

“Out of self defense or more really it was an accident, I had used my powers to move him away. It was an accident.” Your voice broke.

“He had turned to solid ice, there was no covering up what happened. The whole kingdom knew by the next morning. That very night my father and mother had called me a monster and took me to the magic rock trolls.”

“I was given gloves to help control my magic. It didn’t matter how good I was, or how much I tried to redeem myself. They looked at me like I was a murder, and I guess I was.”

“I’m a villain, Hook.” You finally looked at him, tears dropping down your face. “And villains don’t get happy endings. It’s the first thing you learn.”

He was quiet, and then you knew you screwed up — you scared away the one person who had not made you lonely.

You looked away from him and back to the ice. For a second you were to caught up in your thoughts to feel him remove your glove. But when the air hit you, you immediately panicked — trying to grab it back.

“Hook, give it to me.” You looked to him scared, scared for him.

He kept quiet as he slid his palm against yours, wrapping his fingers around your freezing one’s. Your hands were so cold and getting colder by the second.

You tired to remove your hand but he tightened his grip. You could give him frost bite and he would never remove himself from you.

“I already have a happy ending. Love.” You looked at him crazy. “Love? Love doesn’t exist.”

“Maybe I can teach you.” You went to pull your hand away once again but instead he pulled you to him, over the seats.

His lips shut yours up. His lips were so soft, and delicate. He kissed you with experience, but an emotion that felt similar to the one building in your chest. One that made you feel warm, a feeling that consumed you, that demanded James Hook.

He pulled away slightly, his lips still brushing against yours, and his breath fanning your face.

“You say villains can’t get happy endings, but you’re my happy ending. Let me share that with you.”

Maybe, just maybe you didn’t half to be alone. Because even if you said no, Hook would always be with you. If not in person that in that ice cold heart that is starting to melt.

Your hands warmed slightly, and Hook knew you were his endgame. You were his once upon a time. You were his — as much as he was yours.

—

A/N: this feels short, but I’m sorry I got to it so late! I hope you enjoyed it.

bio doodles :]

[image id: a number of ms paint doodles. Going in some semblance of order, first is a drawing of a stick figure type guy. It says sadly "ohh since im doing this digitally i cant doodle in the margins when i get bored". Then it smiles a huge fanged smile, hands held up evilly, "HAHA I HAVE AN ART TABLET". It looks out at the viewer and points "WOE DOODLES BE UPON YE". Next is a doodle of a very cute possum with big innocent eyes, labeled "Lassy <3". There is a wurmple, a wattrel labelled "freak," a torracat labelled "Spork <3 <3", and a hisuian sneasel looking intently at a plump bean, and another hisuian sneasel which looks exceedingly happy, labelled "sneasels are better purple sunday!!!!" There is also a drawing of a mismagius, with a doodle of Ingo next to it labelled "ohhh theres smth here" and an arrow pointing between the two. And finally, is a drawing of a merged pair of circles. "mitosis? WRONG wurmple" and the pair of circles has been turned into the eyes for a wurmple. End id]

[the-wayfinder-askblog]

So...Mrs.Wayfinder everybody else in the multiverse has a clear purpose from what I see, Observer protects and manages aus (I think), Archivist keeps track of all existing aus and Mrs Keeper serves as a caretaker to any stray au travelers.

What exactly do you do?

If nothing my bad ignore this mesage :)

Laddie or lassy, whichever you may be, your questions are always valid, don't worry

*pats anon*

I'm a cartographer for Archivist. He sends me on expeditions, in other words, he sends me to uncharted universes he needs more data from.

If it's dangerous AUs where puppets can be unpredictable, I do my best to stay hidden. But sometimes, I do interact with the neighborhood. It's effective to get more insights on their attitudes too.

All that knowledge gets written in this work journal I have... which I have stacks upon stacks of in my office. Not only do I cartograph the area, but I also get a feel of the neighborhood's dynamics towards one another.

The final step is organizing all that knowledge into a comprehensive map. It includes the map of the neighborhood, descriptions of the puppets in the universe, and miscellaneous thinga like... dont smell the flowers Frank planted in his garden.

The finished map will be sent to Archie for a review and if it's accurate, itll be stored in the archives!

Note: The Mob AU is by @clownsuu . Archivist!Frank is by @melancholic-crayons.

Additionally anon, Way is single, so she can't be called Mrs., only Miss or Ms. :]]

Magical Vacation trivia - Lassi and the gummy girl

Did you know that Lassi and the gummy girl were voiced by the same person? She goes by the name "Tanepirica," and was invited by Brownie Brown to voice both characters during MS's development.

You can listen to the characters' voice lines below!

[mondsee-the-cr-engine-118]

Donald: Ah, nae thing's greater than a fresh coffee on New Years - *grabs his coffee, only to realize that there's no coffee*

Donald: ...

Donald: Oi! WHICH WEE SHOOGLE STOLE MEH FOOKIN COFFEE?! 😠💢

Douglas: *comes downstairs to make Mondsee tea and himself coffee* Mornin' Donnie, what's yer yellin' aboot?

Donald: Some wee SHOOGLE just stole meh fookin coffee! 😠💢

Douglas: 'ell, it cannae be me or our sweet lassie, b'cause she's still sleepin' upstairs. Plus ah just came downstairs tae make me self coffee an' our lassie some winter fruit tea.

Donald: Which one? We've a huge amount of tea 'ere.

Douglas: *thinks for a moment while he's looking at the tea sorts, then finds a perfect one* ~the tea Douglas took was strawberry cheese cake flavored~

Douglas: Hmm... *gives the tea a sniff* That's the one!

Donald: *also gives the tea a sniff* I say Dougie, that's some good, sweet smelling tea.

Douglas: Aye, an' the lass herself drinks very rarely coffee.

Donald: thinking *Ah should ask the lass if Ah could drink some of that tea sort with her later*

Toad: *comes downstairs* G'mornin Mr Donald and Mr Douglas!

The Scottish Twins: Mornin Toad!

Everyone else of the Little Western family (except Mondsee) walk downstairs and into the kitchen

Douglas: Wait... Where's Moonie?

Orchidea: Still sleeping, Mr Douglas. We all know that, whenever she got a chance to get some sleep, she's a deep sleeper and depending on how tired she is, very hard to wake up.

*After the Breakvan-Duo (Toad and Orchidea) managed to wake up Mondsee and all three returned downstairs to their friends, Douglas handed Mondsee the tea (which she thanked him for), and they all wished each other a HAPPY NEW YEARS*

Mondsee: *looks outside the kitchen window while waiting for her tea to cool a little bit, only to see a very hyper active, yellow dressed twin pair running around like crazy*

Mondsee: ...

Toad: Are you alright, Ms Mondsee?

Mondsee: Aye, aim okay Toad. It's just that Bill an' Ben are outside an runnin around like crazy. Like as if they're under some sort of coffee-rush.

The others: *look outside the window*

Orchidea: ...

Toad: ...

Oliver: ...

Duck: ...

The Scottish Twins: ...

Ryan: ...

Orchidea: *sigh* I'll call Mr Edward tae pick the yellow twin-duo up...

*After she did that, everyone waited for Edward*

Edward: *arrives* Hey guys, you called? Also, happy new Year to you guys!

Mondsee: 'appy new Years tae ye too, Edward! About why Orchidea called ye... *points towards the window*

Edward: *looks outside and sees what Bill and Ben are doing* Oh... Uhm, how did they get a coffee-rush?

Douglas: They stole an' apparently drank Donnie's coffee.

Edward: I understand...

Mondsee: What a way tae begin the new year.

Everyone laughs at that.

*Edward then says goodbye to the Little Westeners, before he picks up Bill and Ben and takes the twins back to the Quarry. Mondsee made Donald some new coffee, and everyone continues their day like any other*

Magdalena’s work days were getting longer and longer. The long hours didn’t bother her, however she knew her parents weren’t all that happy about it. Most days she’d have to run all the way from town to get home in time for supper.

"I´m home!" Magdalena exclaimed when she all but fell through the door.

Eugene threw a quick glance at his winded daughter before getting back to scraping his plate clean, "how gracious of you to finally join us," he teased.

"Yes, yes, very amusing," she said, kissing her parents hello before sitting down at the table, "so, what have I missed?"

After supper when Alice, Magdalena and Theodora finally were done with the dishes, Magdalena cleared her throat.

"I have something to tell you," she said, "I didn´t bring it up at dinner because, well, I don´t know how Marion will react."

Alice studied her daughter´s face, trying to figure out wether the news were good or bad "out with it then, lassie."

"I know I haven´t been home much these last couple months becuase of work, even though I promised you and papa I´d be able to help out just as much as before," Magdalena began, "I feel like that isn´t fair to any of you, especially know that you´re here Theo. What I´m trying to say is, Ms. Billingsley has offered me to move in with her. I think it´s a good idea, it´s one less mouth to feed, and it would give the girl´s more space in our room."

Theodora hugged her friend, "how exciting, Magda!"

Magdalena gave her an appreciative smile, "thank you. What do you think, mama?"

"I´m very happy for you, dear" Alice said, "I´ll speak with your father, don´t worry, I´m certain he´ll be just as pleased."

A week or so later, the day finally came for Magdalena to move out. And although everyone was happy for her, they were all sad to see her go, especially Marion.

"I´ll miss you terribly," the girl frowned, burrying her face in Magdalena´s neck.

"Now, now, it´s only a short walk from town. I´ll come visit all the time, and you can visit me as well!" Magdalena reassured her sister.

"I´ll hold you to that," Alice said when it was her turn to say good bye, "farewell for now my dear girl. I´m so very proud of you. It turns out your father was right all along, that typeweriter was a very smart investment indeed."

[magnuficent76]

Ermm Pokémon for Nan and Mewmew?

Also optionally for Lassi (or Siru) if you want

YES !!!!!! MEWMEW IS ACTUALLY WHAT PROMPTED THE POST SO LETS GET IT. Also I'm gonna do all of them. Because >:3c

MEWMEW - (Either Normal/Steel or Fairy/Steel, but the Steel has to be there. I like to think m was an elite 5 trainer until mew decided to retire and settle down.)

- Blissey/Clefable [Most obvious picks imo, but these thangs are TANKS while still being very sweet, much like Mewmew :] Aggressive healing and Metronome just sounds like a strategy m would use tbh.]

- Klefki [Listen. M is a cat. This is the key jingle Pokémon. M can and should have one of these bad boys]

- Togekiss [Vibes-wise I think Togekiss is THE Mewmew Pokémon. Its round, its smiley and its AWESOME ok. Trust me I am Pokémon expert, Mewmew would love this guy]

- Tinkaton [Listen.......its THE big hammer cute little wee face Pokémon. It's Mewmew coded]

- Snorlax [Same reasoning as togekiss, but with the added bonus of being on the tankier side so it balances it out more. Very beautiful very powerful. Also the little ears it has just makes me think of ms own lil' ears :]]

- Magearna [I know its a little op to give m a mythical Pokémon....but have you considered that Mewmew is the world's specialest kitty. Also these two give me the similar vibes tbh, especially with the Moon description being "Its mechanized body is merely a vessel. Its true self is its Soul-Heart, an artificial soul".]

NAN - (Flying, because she's the silly birt :] also, I think she's a gym leader of some kind)

- Pidgeot [Nan strikes me as the kind of person who'd catch her own Pokémon without the help of professors tbh, so I think her starter being a pidgey makes sense ! They're easy to catch, are everywhere and are still pretty dang solid as Pokémon. I like to think she and this pidgeot grew up alongside each other, and although its not much of a battler anymore, they used to have glory days together :] ]

- Unfezant [Same reasoning for pidgeot, but also, it just has SO much sass. I think Nan would love Pokémon with attitudes, so she would deliberately catch hard Pokémon to train just for the challenge]

- Swablu [It's a little bird.......its blue.... I think she deserves a little guy Pokémon that looks exactly like her /silly]

SIRU - (Dark, cuz you just know she's seein' the horrors <3 maybe Ice too. Probably a regular trainer, long past wanting to be an elite 5 gal, but still has a theme bc she has STANDARDS)

- Sneasel -> Weaville [Probably her starter tbh, I can see it. Its her Permanently Smug Emotional Support Guy !! It loves fighting, but Siru is So So Sleepy and Tired she just gets dragged around by her Pokémon <3]

- Froslass [I just think it fits her really nicely !! Also, the singing thing.......I think Siru would find comfort in it, in a fucked up way. I too sing songs of death lil guy, do you wanna be my travel buddy*]

* not so subtle glance at Pesticinger

LASSI - (Water/Grass, I just couldn't pick one, he gives both vibes !! He's the Haru (Pokémon sun and moon rival) to Siru in my humble opinion)

- Bulbasaur/Squirtle [Look at this man's face and tell me right now he wouldn't be charmed by one of these little guys. Honestly I think if he could, he'd get both.]

- Quagsire [I just think he would be so enamored with the goofiness of it. He doesn't even know if it's very good for combat, he sees it the first time and doesn't even hesitate in catching it.]

when all your girlbestfriend occult tome sleepover plans are jeopardised by the fact that you’re both on the bottom rung of the food chain

[mmmairon]

UWAAA miss juliet looks so beautiful!! I'm sure she's doing well and cheering you on from her meadow, ms. kaela :"))))

if you don't mind, would you consider introducing your other cows to the public? they sound like lovely creatures ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ and ok fine I'll admit I became more interested in them bc of that one diluc fanart u made where he tends to the cows

*discreetly crushes that other entitled anon ask under my foot* also pssst I think you can block people's IP addresses from asking on anon so you don't have to worry abt them anymore,,, chronically online people are built different man I hope they leave u alone soon :((

— milkmaid diluc anon

Hi Milkmaid diluc anon! Sure!! I’ll put pictures under the cut since it will be a little long. I have to admit, there are too many to introduce, so I’ll show my “pets.”

Blindos!!! Just as her name indicates, she’s blind in one eye. Bad case of pinkeye when she was a calf. She’s my baby. I’ve had her since I was a kid. My dad named her, not the most creative lmao. She stays at home and mows the grass down in the yard during the summer. Loves chop and good scratches. An absolute dear and glutton.

This is her baby she had this spring, Molly. She’s so sweet :)

Here are some of our heifers:

J2 is Jojo

J3 is, of course, Juliet <3 (I cut her tag to keep with me, so now I can frame it)

J4 is Jackie

J1 is Jenny

These are my 3 hooligans. The guy that looks like an Oreo Mcflurry is Zorro. He used to escape all the time lmao. He’s a specklepark, one of our up and coming bulls.

The guy in the back is Benny. Also a bull for next year.

To the right is Mark (hence the mark on his forehead), one of our old bottle babies. Every morning I would bring him his bottle and go *Tommy Wiseau voice* “Oh, hi Mark.”

This is Martin, our bottle calf from this year. Big enjoyer of scratches under the chin, his eyeballs will roll back lol. He’s a rejected twin :( His sister’s name is Martina, who is with his mom. We went with the “Martin” theme because female twins are what we call “freemartins” (infertile).

the red on his forehead is old chalk. We mark calves in the field we think have something weird going on with them. Figured out pretty quickly little Martin didn’t have a mama to drink from

Skrunkly. That’s his name. I never got around to naming his buddy. But Skrunkly is one of our yearlings we keep around the yard to mow grass. We had a couple days of -55C last winter that got the best of his one ear tip :( He can still hear fine and he’s a silly goofy guy and a little gremlin

This is my little buddy Clyde. About 2 years old. He’s an anomaly. If you look above his ears, you’ll see two little nubs peeking out. He has horns!! I’m so baffled… my dad bred horns out over 10 years ago. Been scratching my head over this for the past few weeks. And it’s weird they only just appeared after so long…

But… poor Clyde passed away this week. He seemed to have a bout of pneumonia, which I gave him Resflor for. And he recovered. But there was always something odd about him ever since he was born. Always weaker than the rest, never too energetic, but liked a good scratch on his back. He passed away asleep in his bedding. He looked comfy and warm. I’m, at least for that, glad for it.

This is Miss Raccoon and Miss Halfie. Very fine, distinguished ladies.

Alas, there are too many cows to name :’) But know I love them all and do my best to make them happy!! I’d add a few more, but I think mu phone is about to explode.

Bonus:

This photo is from today. This is the poor lassie who was shot by someone. She’s healing excellently. You can only barely see a pitted mark on her forehead. She’s so strong, I’m so proud of her!!! She looks a lot better.

Love Is the Bloomin' Pecknecks! Ch4 Cupid's Day Date

(Hey everyone. I just wanted to thank everyone who read this far and liked my story enough to read it to it's end. I had a lot of fun writing it and it makes me happy knowing some people loved it enough to read it fully. If you liked this consider checking out my other works. Thanks to everyone for reading this, faving it, or leaving a nice comment. And thank you to GearsForBreakfast for creating such wonderful characters and giving me the opportunity to make this wonderful story. The song Conductor sings is Conductor Sings: Old Town Road by Bit-B. Original Song by Lil Nas X. Link to song below although I changed some words to fit the world better.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkmJ_k_ZvyM)

Ah. Cupid's Day. The day everyone expressed their love to one another whether it be platonic love among friends and family, or for lovers to have a nice relaxing day out on a date with their spouses. Or if you were Cookie then you were getting ready for a date. HER date. With CONDUCTOR. Oh gosh. Oh goodness gracious. Oh pec- Nono! She wouldn't resort to that word. She hadn't ever been on a d-date before! What was she going to do!? What was she supposed to wear! She only had a week to prepare and she was a nervous wreck! She had Muriel to think about as well which was the easier part actually thanks to Poppy who agreed to watch over her for the night so that was solved. The day came and Cookie got up bright and early to drop off Muriel at the little alien's ship for a sleepover and brought along some food for all the kids plus a small thank you gift for Ms. Poppy. Thanking her again for agreeing to watch Muriel on such short notice before leaving back to ready herself. By worrying and pacing, putting on a simple dress, worrying and pacing, cleaning, cooking a little-...Did she mention worrying and pacing? Because she was doing that. A lot. Even as the door knocked making her give off a startled meow and her fur bristled. Eyes darted to the clock on the wall. It was seven already!? Cookie scrambled towards the door smoothing her bristled fur out as more knocking came from the door.

"C-Coming! Oh goodness gracious!" She was quick to open the door smiling at the owl on the other side. "Mr. Conductor!"

The owl froze upon first seeing the nervous cat, face red as a cherry, before he gulped and forced a grin. "L-LASSIE!! I- Uh...Y-Ye looks great!"

It was Cookie's turn to blush at the compliment before bashfully giggling. "Oh this old thing. T-Thank you. So...Um..W-Were you going to tell me where we're goin'?"

That seemed to knock some sense into him as he shook his head and coughed. "Of course! Ahehe! A-Ah have a great place for ye!"

"W-Well then lead the way."

She happily accepted his arm offered to him and both red faced made their way out. The place he took her was right in Express Town and among the few shops here. The Sleeping Owl Saloon. She hadn't been there before and never gone in seeing it was a saloon but Conductor assured her it was more of a restaurant than an actual saloon.

"Tis nothing to worry 'bout, Lass. The strrrongest thing in there is fermented birdseed punch, which I nah plan on having anyways."

Well..Alright. Why not? It would be nice to not have to cook for a night and she never tried this place before so the food might be good. So she allowed him to bring her inside and...Inside looked exactly like a saloon from one of Conductor's movies. Tables and chairs everywhere inside this old wooden place. A bar counter alongside the far wall with a bartender owl wiping down a glass with many, many bottles of soda pop right behind him much to her relief.  To the far right wall there was a small stage with a microphone and jukebox for karaoke. There didn't seem to be a whole lot of other people here besides them. One or two other couples looking lovey dovey at one another obviously on dates for this holiday, the bartender, and a waiter that went back and forth between tables every so often. So the two of them sat down and just...sat there silently and a bit tense. Just sitting there and other than the waiter taking their orders didn't say anything at first. Just fiddle and look away red faced...before Cookie took a deep breath and spoke.

"So.." He flinched looking towards her nervous smile. "I was told ya went on that cruise that sank. I do hope you didn't run into any trouble. A sinking ship sounds scary."

...The casual convo starter had him relax before nodding. "Aye. Me son's idea. Go on a cruise he said. Ya work to harrrd he said. Go spend some time with ye grandkids and lemme handle yourrr train he said. Oi." His hand reached up to rub his face. "The wee ones hadn't even grown their water feathers yet."

"Oh my. I hope no one was hurt."

"Nah. Wounded pride but nothing that couldn't be salvaged."

"Oh that's wonderful. Y'know I was supposed to work on that ship on the next cruise."

"Ye were?," he asked surprise.

She nodded. "But sadly it sank. But it's alright. Ah've dealt with worse in Mafia Town."

"That reminds me. How did ye even come to work for that flash bound flipper anyways?"

"Oh it's a long story but I suppose it started when I first left home years ago."

More of the night passed by as they talked. Conductor was awfully patient listening to her tell him about her struggles and he was surprised to hear she wanted to hear more about his son and grandchildren. And his train of course which he was happy to brag about. Obviously she had good taste in family ...and trains of course. Some time during their train discussing their dinner came and it was then that one of the men from the other couples got up to the juke box and started rambling out some kind of tune dedicated to his misses after pressing a small button on the machine which caught the few peoples' attention including theirs.

"Oh karaoke!"

"Aye. Ye sing, Lass?"

"Who? Me? Oh no. My singing is cat scratch. Excuse the pun. I couldn't sing if mah life depended on it." She pointed at him. "But you have a very nice voice. I've seen ya sing those few desert stories in your movies an' I gotta say you're voice is very nice to listen to."

He continued to stare at her for a moment before his feathers puffed up again. "U-Uh...Y-ye likes..me v-voice?" 

She nodded. "You have the best voice I've ever heard singing."

he continued to stare at her before clearing his throat and smiling proudly. "Of c-course ye would think that! HA! Why I could out sing any birrrd in this town!"

"So that means you're gonna sing?!"

She gave him a hopeful look and he fell quiet. Him? Sing? Now? But he wasn't even recording anything...Well there really wasn't so many birds here so he doubted anyone would really make a big deal out of it, and they all looked too busy with their own selves to have even paid attention to the last guy that sang. Plus she was looking at him so excited. 

"Hmm. Alright!" He stood up. "Just watch me. HA! I'll knock the crowd dead!"

She smiled excitedly as he confidentially got up and stomped his way over towards the jukebox. It wasn't until he grabbed the mic and pressed a button on the jukebox did he pause looking at Cookie smiling in the crowd..but he quickly cleared his throat once the music started. Too late to turn back now. So he held the microphone to his mouth and began singing when the music began.

"Yeah!~ I'm gonna take my horse to the old town road!~ I'm gonna rrride 'til I can't no more.~ I'm gonna take my horse to the old town road!~ I'm gonna ride 'til I can't no more.~ I got the horses in the back.~ Horse tack is attached.~ Hat is matte black.~ Got the black boots to match.~ Ridin' on a horse.~ HA! Ye can whip your Porsche.~ I been in the valley.~ You ain't been up that porch now.~ Can't nobody tell me nothin'.~ Ye can't tell me nothin'.~ Can't nobody tell me nothin'.~ Ye can't tell me nothin'.~ Ridin' on a tractor.~ Lean all in me bladder.~ Cheated on me baby.~ Ye can go and ask her.~ My life is a movie.~ Bull rrridin' and birdseed.~ Cowboy hat that's truly.~ Wrangler on me booty.~ Can't nobody tell me nothin'.~ Ye can't tell me nothin'.~ Can't nobody tell me nothin'.~ Ye can't tell me nothin'.~ Yeah!~ I'm gonna take my horse to the old town road!~ I'm gonna rrride 'til I can't no more.~ I'm gonna take my horse to the old town road!~ I'm gonna ride 'til I can't no more.~ Hat down.~ Cross Town.~ Living like a rrrockstar.~ Spent a lot of money on me brand new guitar!~ Baby's got a habit.~ Diamond rrrings and spending me pons.~ Ridin' down town in me pecking wonder train car!~ Got no stress!~ I've been through all that!~ Like a marlboro man so I kick on back!~ Wish I could rrroll on back to that old town rroad!~ I wanna rrride til I can't no more!~ Yeah!~ I'm gonna take my horse to the old town road!~ I'm gonna rrride 'til I can't no more.~ I'm gonna take my horse to the old town road!~ I'm gonna ride 'til I can't no more.~"

The country music faded out and the few people in their clapped especially Cookie who was smiling brightly at him happily. He had...made her smile. A fuzzy feeling grew within him and it made the feathers on his head fluff up more. Conductor had shakily rejoined her at the table where she complimented him genuinely about his singing much to his blushing face. Although they didn't stay much longer. It was getting late and she still had to pick up Muriel tomorrow morning. So after paying for their meal, Conductor was more than happy to walk her home where she smiled at him from the doorway. 

"Thank you for taking me out. I-I had a great time."

"Ahehe. W-W-Well I can't say I didn't have nah good time either," Conductor stuttered back rubbing his neck. "Altho perchance I-...HMMMMMMMM!?!?"

His. Face. EXPLODED. RED!! Yellow feathers puffed up all over him. And he froze as a small kiss was placed to his cheek by her also red faced. 

"Thank you for the wonderful n-night. I can't wait to see what we do on our s-second date."

With that she slowly closed the door leaving him standing there breathless for a long moment before he stuttered out.

"S-S-Second date!?....S-S-She wants ta go on a SECOND DATE!?......Ahe..AHEHEHEHEHE!! YA-HOO!!"
