#rebelle the commander bitty

[vex-bittys]

A single shiny gem is tossed from an unknown direction, it tumbles around for a bit before stopping near the corals area. Faint snickering can be heard, followed by the clacking of bony feet running away.

*Little skulls with gold fangs pop up from every available nest, sharp red eyelights trained on the shiny gem with laser focus. No Coral moves though. It would be extremely un-Coral-like to seem interested in the gem. Each striped lamia plots his approach. Slithering past the gem? Obviously. Feign disinterest? Of course. Absorb the desired object into one's pocket when nobody is looking? Naturally!

*Unfortunately, it takes the Corals a bit too long to launch their plan of attack. A curious Lieutenant Cherry has darted out of his nest and gathered up the shiny gem to give to Belle, the leader of the Commander gang. None of the Corals would dare to bully Lieutenant Cherry or steal from Belle. There will be other shinies, and other days to swipe them without appearing to care about swiping them.

Star Wars Sunday! I love Kanan, and this was a cool (though heartbreaking) peek at his life as itty bitty padawan Caleb. Shoutout for Commander Grey doing his best to make up for his worst, and for awesome Rebels cameos

[brandwhorestarscream]

Please info dump about this new au I'm curious

EEEEEEEEEE ok!! 🥰🥰

Uhhhh some CWs before we start, tho. This is gonna delve into some hella unethical shit. Vast moral crimes against cybertronian kind. This coild probably be labeled as DD. Read at your own volition, my apologies to the traumatized 😊

So, first and foremost, I'm picturing this in like. A mash up of Aligned and IDW. A much darker feel right off the bat

The war is over and the autobots were victorious. They've got decepticon high command is custody, currently held in stasis for everyone's safety. Optimus is already stretched thin governing his armies and making important decisions about resettling Cybertron. Buildongs will have to be torn down and rebuilt, temporary residence for anyone returning, locating energon wells, getting the senate back up and running, etc. He doesn't have time to properly think about what to do with the cons. Their people are so few, less than 10% of the original population still lives. Execution is not something he wants to entertain. Wasting even a single spark after they've just grasped their peace will not set a good precedent for the future they're building.

But his autobots are anxious. Yeah, even the really dangerous ones like Megatron and Starscream and even Soundwave aren't a threat while they're frozen in cryosleep, but there's the worry that rebel decepticons will try to break them out. That the war will resume when their enemies cannot accept defeat. He needs to make a decision on what to do with them, if not killing them, and the solution presents itself in the form of a brand new project dreamed up by the bots:

The Repopulation Project

There are so few of them, and many frame types are teetering on the edge of extinction. Seekers, for example, lost an estimsted 95% of their total population in the famous bombing of Vos. Now there's less than a thousand of them left. They're critically endangered, and will go extinct if something isn't done.

The Repop Project is proposed in a very sweet, flowery way: the decepticons can be rehabilitated into polite society, and they'll be helping bolster the numbers of Cybertron's citizens. The new generation of war frames will be born in an autobot controlled world, and raised correctly so they don't turn into bloodthirsty monsters like their parents. Up against the wall and with no other options, Optimus offers the captive cons an ultimatum: agree to be absorbed into the repop, or execution

In order to evade being put to death, Megatron agrees, of course planning to start another uprising as soon as physically possible.

...unfortunately for him, the autobots (without going through Prime. Looking at you, Prowl >.>) have him mnemosurgeried and shadowplayed. Same with Starscream and Soundwave, regardless of what they want or chose. Seekers, as we discussed, are critically endangered, and Starscream is the last remaining member of the Vosian royal family. He still has a lot of sway over the entire seeker population, and they'll assumably follow his lead and sign themselves over the program. Soundwave is capable of hosting symbiotes and he's even rarer than Starscream--there's only one other left in Blaster. The two of them are the last of their kind, they need to reproduce asap.

On official documents the repopulation project encampments are called Rehab Facilities and Nurseries, because that sounds way better from a legal perspective than a baby mill populated by prisoners of war.

Decepticons are divided up into their frame types and shipped off to different locations, each either installed with coding so they can't fight back, or having their memories and negative feelings removed to make them more complicit. Regardless, thanks to them, there's a baby boom and the population peaks sharply. The high quality sparklings are taken from their parents (kiddos that are born with blue optics and civilian frames) to be raised by autobot families that want to adopt them. Poor quality bitties (i.e. infrared optics and ones with their carrier's warframe type) are sent to specific nursery facilities meant to raise them

Now, Cybertron's society is basically being built up from scratch, but there is a solid foundation. There's a lot of old culture, and a lot of the autobots came from priveleged places and want their home to look comfortably similar to how it was before the decepticon uprising. So, the senate is reinstated. The original 13 seats are filled by anyone who could run a convincing campaign and win enough votes. Optimus oversees the council as the Prime, but leaves any and all decisions left up to a majority vote. That's fair, he thinks. This is democracy, he thinks. He doesn't want to be a monarch. Whatever the people widely decide on is how it should be.

That opens up the door to a lot of fuckery. In the original proposal it was written that after X amount of time, the cons in the repop project could be placed on probation and eventually be reacclimated intk society. That's one of the first things to go: the new senate stacks up a bunch of requirements, like having to pass a psych eval, taking citizenship tests, publicly declaring their separation from their faction, and even having to undergo mnemosurgery, just to make sure they aren't harboring any thoughts of revolution. It's borderline impossible for anyone to meet all of the requirements, and even if they did, they just keep pushing the time requirements back more and more. The hope is that, eventually, their bodies will start to wear down from being forced to pop out sparkling after sparkling, and they'll die in hospice before they can be released.

It only gets worse from there. More and more restrictions are put into place, until eventually all of the undesirables of Cybertron are held in these facilities, out of sight, out of mind, while the vast majority of autobots start regaining the lives they lived before the war

Now... this isn't ideal at all, but Optimus only sees what they choose to show him. The facilities he visits are glistening and clean, all of the carriers held within them seem happy looking after their shared groups of bitties, and the sparklings are healthy. Running around and playing, laughing and drinking good fuel. He can accept this

Unfortunately, feeding and caring for them isn't cheap. Energon is still being rationed because, surprise surprise, mining is backbreaking work that most civilian frames aren't capable of doing very efficiently.

They can't just kill all of them, so the senate decides why not outsource the war frame sparklings? Using the adults is out of the question, they're wicked decepticons, we can't have them wandering outside of their facilities! So it falls to the repopulation project's first generation of children to pick up the slack. Once they hit the youngling stage they're already bigger than most civilians, and they're only war frames. What's the harm in a little child labor? Look, see, the kids are happy to do it, serving their community that wouldn’t even need serving if their evil parents had just stayed in their place and hadn't ripped Cybertron apart

So, war frame sparklings are now being dragged out of their facilities to be put to work in the mines beneath the charred remnants of the southern cities, under what used to be the decepticon capital and strongholds. All of it is scheduled to be torn down and razed to make room for new living quarters for the returning autobots.

It just gets slowly worse from there. As the years tick by, Optimus loses more and more power, and by the time several generations have past and the senate is just as corrupt as it was before, it's too late. All of the original decepticons have died out, leaving behind children that were forbidden from being educated about the war. They're kept in the dark, kept away from society, in their isolated encampments so no one has to see them. No one on the senate will hear their Prime's words, as they have no need to obey him. After all, he declared at the very beginning that he was not to be a soverign ruler. That no Prime could be a monarch. That the senate's decisions were what mattered, as they were chosen representatives of the people. He can't do anything.

The matrix is demanding to be released; it has chosen a new host, evidently, though if it's because he's just too old to fight anymore or if it's because it has deemed him a failure, he can't decide. The new Prime is a young mech barely into his adult body, a fiery red and yellow kid that matches neither of his parents, and at the ceremony to pass on the torch OP mournfully wonders where he was born. Who he was born to. Who he could have become.

When Rodimus comes to power the repopulation project is way past the point of necessity. There's plenty of war frames, plenty of all frames, on Cybertron. What were originally rehab facilities have twisted over millions of years, and have been completely reformatted into an entirely new, sinister system.

War frames are so very, very rarely seen in public. There are no war frame cities anymore. 90% of their population lives specifically within the specialized facilites that have warped into farms. Farms that mass produce and cultivate heavy duty workers for mining, to be bodyguards for the elite, to become gladiator pit fighters, and as cheap, tradable slave labor to be used wherever they are needed until they die. There are other, high quality farms that use warframes to produce a number of commodities that have become necessities in this new society: there are some that raise and harvest sparklings for their vital and non-vital organs when they become of age, some that are meant to be living bloodbags so their robust internal defense systems can be bestowed upon the general public, and to later have their bodies melted down and used in a number of projects. They use the living metal and special polymers to make high quality replacement limbs and to build hyper-useful drones, primarily. There's even farms that specifically breed and raise particularly pretty frame types as, essentially, mail-order brides for the wealthy and powerful to purchase.

It's become a horrible, miserable dystopian nightmare. Half of their people have become nothing but livestock, and Optimus doesn't even recognize his home anymore

...

And there's the basic backstory! The actual plot takes places on future Cybertron, and I would love to talk about it if any of ya'll are curious ^-^

In all honesty, where is my historically inaccurate pirate AU?

[flyingspicerack]

Inside Job Pt2Ep3 Myc Analysis Pt1

ALRIGHT FUCKERS! AS THE OFFICAL CEO OF MYC ITS TIME i GIVE YOU MY BREAKDOWN ON EP 3 BECAUSE NO ONE ELSE WILL!!!!!

THIS IS GONNA BE A BIGGUN AND PRETTY MUCH A PLAY BY PLAY SO STRAP IN!!!

The way he's clinging to the rope here? Oh so cute. But also! Very telling of how he's able to distribute his weight? Body and tendrils seem much like.... idk squid/octopus like? Also in this scene, all of the insults he throws around <3 He's such a catty little bitch I also love that Gigi is the one he doesn't insult the most through the ep? Like I know everyone is like OMG ANDRE AND MYC are such good 'friends' and all that (yes i am one of those too) but we see in pt1 that Myc and Gigi hang out a fair bit and I like to think he's got like, a respect for her? Idk

The fucking way the little itty bitty orb inside his orb gets smaller when the flashlight from the security guard hits him is so brief but oh so important to me, oh my GOD this little bit of detail has me HGFUIEOHGFOI:SGHJIO

HHHHH OK FIRSTLY! Reagan tells Myc to, and I quote "Spurt on that guy!" And he refers to himself as a soft serve machine that needs to warm up and cannot just jizz on command, which definitely makes sense. He also says for no one to look at him so.... hes shy

SO THAT leads me to believe, that his jiss doesn't actually need to be processed at all to become the stuff they put in the memory erasing guns, so, they can just erase minds... SO what does that mean for sex with humans, as well as that one time Andre licked Myc's flagella on the yacht during the wedding, he didn't get erased.... thoughts thoughts thoughts

REAGAN YELLING AT HIM AND CALLING HIM A WASTE OF SPACE FUCKING HURT ME

OH MY GOD BABY! NO DONT CRY!!!!!!! UAOGH WHAT THE FUCK

Reagan: Okay I was not ready for that" ME NEITHER BITCH????? MYC CRYING????? WHY WOULD HE CRY????

WAS ANISE RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING IN THAT MYC IS ACTUALLY A DWEEB???? UH YEAH?????? IM AS SURPRISED AS YALL ARE

god ok you guys im never gonna stop talking about this, we got so much mushroom lore, we have so much mushroom plot, we have so much MYC LORE AND I AM HERE FOR IT!!!!! AND IM WRITING IT ALL DOWN IN ONE PLACE!! RIGHT HERE!!!

Myc LIED about how old he was prior to this. In Pt1Ep3 we see his RightSwipe profile says 4041 for his age, but this here is his 5000 year reunion, so he's says he's younger than he really is.

He's from "A million year old mushroom hive cluster from the center of the earth" MILLION!!!!!! HES OLDER THAN WE CAN EVEN COMPREHEND

FIRST he apparently lied and said that everyone was jealous of his "huge dong" and he left, THEN JUST IN THIS SCENE, he says that they kicked him out because he was too much of a rebel, AND THEN AT THE END OF HIS RANT he finally comes clean and says that he never went to prom, graduation, AND no one signed his yearbook BECAUSE HE WAS A FUCKING DWEEB THAT LOOKED LIKE THIS:

(yeah honey i'd hate you too)

he was .... a fucking DWEEB! HE WAS A NERD!! THE BRACES?! THE PIMPLES! THE.... somehow.... FACIAL HAIR?? The hat.. yeesh boy ouch

WHEN HE LEFT HE WANTED TO PROVE HE COULD BE SOMEBODY! oH MY LORD!!!! HE CALLS HIMSELF A SINGLE MIDDLE AGED LOSER.... HOW OLD IS HE IF HES MIDDLE AGED IM GOING INSANE OVER HERE!!!!!!!!!

also his name, can we take about the name we have a real full name for him its not Magic Myc, its fucking MYC CELLIUM im going feral here and frothing

This uh.... this makes me..... hes so.... PATHETIC!! He's crying!!! HES FUCKING WHIMPERING AND CRYING AND SNIFLING CAUSE HES SO ASHAMED ABOUT GOING TO HIS REUNION LIKE WHAT THE FUCK HES LITERALLY BABYGIRL I DONT UNDERSTAND???????????????????

why are you so moe? WHY ARE YOU THE CUTEST GUY EVER! HIS GASP! Also like, Reagan, you REALLLY think this dude is never gonna insult you again? I thought you were a super genius? How can you literally be this stupid.

SORTA MUCUS SORTA JIZZ CALLED JUCUS!!!!!!!

I think it is SO AMAZING that the hole down to the mushroom hive is in Oregon, cause like, the worlds biggest mycelium network is under there.... hehe

FRUITY FLAILING ASS BITCH!!

OK If you go to 4:40 and look in the bg, you can see Myc get on the elevator down and he is fucking TREMBLING!! HE is SO nervous!! IM FUCK NGKJENSfewtgfwsg

Myc confirmed leftist, so thats a W but an L for thinking u can ge a nobel prize in podcasting... then again hes a mushroom and doesnt care so he is always a W in my heart

Look how far his flagella can stretch

HOLLOW EARTH! OH ITS SO LOVELY! AND I HAVE A LOT TO SAY ABOUT IT

I am very curious to know, if when Myc tells the hive to put a 'psychic metaphor' over the place, is that... only for the characters in the show or is it also for the viewer? It has to be, because we are also human and therefore wouldn't be able to comprehend the societal differences of mushroom dynamics! RIGHT?! SO I will also touch upon things as they happen later with this mindset.

FUCK!! RIGHT HERE!! Myc's asking Reagan if his BREATH smells bad!!!! He touches the top little frills and then puts his tentacle under Reagan's nose!! Does he... His scent glands?? WHAT?? AHHHHH I DONT KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS???

... I got one thing to say about stem-mantha... myc sure does love pink bitches .... makes eye contact with anise

LOOK AT HIM ALL.... NERVOUS!

Okay so then... Stem-Mantha asks if Myc was the guy who did puzzles with her parents so she could go have sex... SO, yes, the fucking mushrooms DO fuck each other, AND they have like, parents They dont just grow?? (As seen from Myc wanting to be a mommy in Pt2Ep7)

THEN Myc gets fucking pelted with a goddamn football and we are now included on the information that Myc ran out at graduation before everyone merged consciousnesses and became assimilated. SO It is OH SO interesting to see that each of these mushroom clusters are there OWN individual personalities but THEN they all are joined and have a shared consciousness thats a part of the hive!

Stem-Mantha then asks if the gang are Myc's parole officers, so does that mean that everyone was under the impression he went to like, jail topside after he left hollow earth??

HIS TENDRIL HEART IM FUCKING LOSING IT AHHHHHHH

ALRIGHT!!! FUCKERS FIRSt things first. Yes he wore that stupid fucking "NO FAT CHIX" hat but are we talking about it? NO, well YES, in that he wore it because he was in denail thats it thats the story thank you very much

SECONDLY here is were I'm touching upon the psychic metaphor thing again right here. I am thinking waaaay too deeply about a silly little cartoon and i feel very much like 'charlie pepe silvia meme' right now in idk how meta this whole thing is supposed to be? Like I don't think Myc was actually into dragon ball Z considering it was 5000 years ago and dbz didn't exist then, and we're just supposed to believe dudes was the mushroom equivalent of a little itty bitty pathetic nerd with pimples and acne, right??

but im also crazy coo coo bananas insane in thinkiing how fucking funny would it be if dbz was some kind of true space epic and myc is like, the equivalent of a greek mythology nerd in that hes a little fanboy.

THIRDLY. MY MANS GOT EXTRA STRONG POWERS THAT MAKE HIM EXTRA SENSITIVE?????? HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NURSE

His fucking signature babygirl i loooove you its so cute what the FUCK!! and look at how he carried himself like a fucking .... beanie babie, hes full of beans or whatever, i just love how this fucker carries his weight its so cool to look at wtf

HES NERVOUS AGAIN IM JUST GFJHEL"GSGJ"LG I KNOW ITS NOT IMPORTANT BUT IT IS TO ME

They are SO fucking mean to him. But also this scene, you can see that not everyone is on board with Reagan doing this, like they're all really uncomfortable when she pulls this picture up, and Brett isn't even there

Why is there so much jucus... was he tearing up about getting found out? OH LAWDY I HOPE NOT ILL FUCKING CRY?????

HAHHA SO this post has gotten waaay too long so i think i'm gonna make it two parts, so part 2 will be post assimilation!!! Also because posts can only have 30 images and we at the max babes

[illiteratefriend]

Time for Quinn’s side of the story, baby

Ok so we got Quinn apart of the Infinity Guard, but OwO what’s this? She learns they’re actually working for Lord Commander and that’s no good! So she secretly rebels as a spy 😱

She kidnaps the scientist who made the first ever biological transformation, and forces him to do the procedure to her. So now she has ladybug dna and can hover with her itty bitty beetle wings.

Now Tribore is Quinn’s right hand bud. They feed her information about the missions she does through an ear piece. While she sneaks around in the Infinity Guard all Solid Snake style.

They eventually find Avocato and Mooncake and lets them join the rebellion. Mooncake being a great weapon ally, and Avocato takes care of Mooncake. He still has a long way to go before he is recognized as a useful ally other than being next to Mooncake

Saw The Last Jedi yesterday, gonna try to see it again next week. Thoughts below the cut, SPOILERS ABOUND! Like, mega spoilers.

This movie had a lot going on, and while most of it felt important to the worldbuilding, the mutiny subplot could have been cut entirely. And I would have preferred the Next In Chain Of Command be at least someone who got a speaking part in the command room in The Force Awakens, both for conservation of characters, and to give the audience more investment in them. It would have been really easy to have “we have A Plan, but a back-up plan never hurts, you two go off and do Your Plan while we keep on keeping on.” BOOM a way to show more of the universe, give Finn & Rose an adventure, without have a unnecessary, time-consuming, painful-to-watch mutiny plot.

I did not like a rebel general slapping a rebel commander, that’s...gah. No.

I did love the humor, and the characters bonding.

Bookending! Poe disobeying a direct order, and then Finn disobeying a direct order from Poe. And Poe doing stalling-for-time with taunts, and then Luke stalling for time with taunts. EXCELLENT BOOKENDING. I appreciate this movie doing in-movie callbacks along with in-series callbacks (and subversions of the in-series references).

Hey, hey filmmakers, you’ve done a great job adding diversity to the main cast, but your Default Human Is A White Guy mindset is still showing? Codehacker didn’t need to be one, and the Stable Waif That Looks Up At The Stars didn’t need to be one.

Kylo doesn’t know what he wants. What do you want, Kylo? I really appreciate his actor’s skills; the reaction of surprise and curiosity to Hey A New Force Thing was great, and made for an excellent contrast with his violent villainy.

I have always hated the “creepy older dude overpowers young heroine” especially in combination with “brings her physically closer and touches her face” (partly because it so rarely happens to the young male heroes, it’s so blatantly Creepy Sexism) and I can confirm, having seen The Last Jedi, that I still hate this trope! I don’t want to see it again! And with all the sexual abuse that happens in Hollywood coming to light all at once recently, it was super duper extra uncomfortable! It makes the movie less fun!

Bro has suggested that “...Rey did it!” was the real reason Kylo was looking for Luke back in The Force Awakens, that he’s been planning this for a while. I am honestly not sure if he was planning it, or just impulsive, but I bet he has been practicing that “how do you deceive someone who can read your mind?” trick for a while.

This film did an excellent and hilarious job showing villains that don’t get along with each other, all my applause.

The beginning was pretty much an itty-bitty Rogue One and it hurt me in all three of my feelings.

Finn has a Big Heart and it keeps getting him into trouble. I love you Finn.

I LOVE ROSE, I LOVE HER A LOT. Rey & Rose need to make friends, okay? Rey & Leia taking comfort in each other is really important to me, please bring Rose into the lady friends circle.

I DID NOT FUCKING SEE THE SHIT LEIA AND LUKE PULLED COMING, AND I LOVED IT, LOVED IT SO MUCH. LUKE IS AT HIS BEST WHEN SASSING. Luke calling the old Jedi order the fuck out, yessssssssssss.

Bro pointed put that Luke & Force-Ghost!Yoda talking about the Jedi is also Mark Hamill & Frank Oz talking about Star Wars.

“I’ve seen your daily routine, you’re not busy.”

Rey sticking her hand in the rain runoff from the Millennium Falcon, cutie!

VEX. SANS IS IN SMASH I CAN'T---

*Vex is well-aware that Sans is now an available outfit in Smash Bros. Ultimate because some very excited skeleton puppies came bouncing on her bed when it was announced, begging for a Switch and the game to play. Vex caved in (mainly because she wanted to play the Switch too!). She even managed to stop Belle, Lieutenant Cherry and the Commander Gang from swiping the Switch (in exchange for a shoeful of butterscotch pudding).

*Once the new console was set up, the Cornies rolled out from under the anti-venom fridge to watch Honey and Poff play the game. The two skeleton pups happily relinquished the controllers to the Cornies, and Edgar even brought the babies out the nursery to watch the gameplay. The hatchlings were so enthusiastic about the Sans outfit that some craft Papythons made them little gaster blasters that fit over their tiny hands and emitted harmless blue LED light beams.

*Vex wonders what the lamia bittybones will think of Undertale for Switch...

[vex-bittys]

*giggles and laughter can be heard as 2 shadowy forms sneak into the shop, placing chocolate eggs around everywhere for Easter- it's Lusty and her Gengar, using the Shadows to give a surprise to every bitty in the shop. Candies and chocolates, huge soft plushies are everywhere, despite if they're Early or Late for Easter*

(I was saving this for Easter, but ending up being sick, so it’s a few days late!)

*Edgar spots the shadowy figures as they pause at the nursery door. He recognizes Lusty and nods to her, going about his business as the two “bunnies” creep into the nursery and hide goodies for the hatchlings, who are currently in their nests for a nap. When they wake up, they will beep and peep with excitement as they hunt for the treasures.

*Baby Butter has been slithering around the shop dressed in cute bunny ears and a pastel bow, but he somehow inexplicably ends up following Lusty and her Gengar, giving each candy and plush a small kiss (and a mwah!) before they hide it. Poof sneaks a candy-filled egg into Honey’s hoodie pocket while he sleeps so that he can find when he wakes up, and Lieutenant Cherry helps to hide goodies in the Commander nest.

*Candies are hidden in Corny and Honey Bo nests since they are a bit too lazy to hunt the treats down themselves. Plastic eggs weighed down with candies and sealed are dropped into the Krait pools for the striped lamias to dive for. Papythons and Kings forego their usual aversion to sweets to grab a few jelly beans. 

*Corals cuddle the plushies, insisting that you have squished them in the placement of the soft toys, but not bothering to move out of the way. They plan to gather some of the colorful cellophane candy wrappers for their treasure hoards later. Chains chomp chocolates, and Pygmies hunt smaller toys since candy makes them too hyper. Some Mambas are trying to hatch a nest of brightly colored jelly beans.

*The punny baby Corny pops his little skull out of the nursery, surveys the joyful chaos, and hisses:

“EGG-cellent!”

[vex-bittys]

*Boldly walks through the door* I come bearing gifts of Goldfish cheese crackers! *Opens jumbo sized box of said snack, which unleashes a horde of flying goldfish snacks* Oops, looks like one of my enchantments got away from me, and if you don't hurry those goldfish crackers are gonna get away from you. Let the hunt begin!

*Giggling, Poff shakes Honey awake. Honey blinks tiredly before leaping to his feet. These may not be foods from the @wonderland-isles, but he recognizes a magical snack when he sees one. Pygmies and Mambas are already in hot pursuit even though Goldfish crackers aren’t their preferred snack. They just can’t resist the chase.

*Soon Kings and Chains join the hunt as well. Honey Bos lean out of their nests and snag the sky-swimming snacks as they sail by, and Papythons hold up Cornies with open mouths, using them to catch the Goldfish crackers like butterfly nets. Kraits have left the play pools to join in the fun as well, making sure not to get the crispy treats wet and soggy.

*Edgar corrals a school of the Goldfish crackers into the nursery for the hatchlings to chase, and Butter can be seen leading the pack of youngsters with his battle cry of “Mwah!” being echoed by those old enough to mimic words. The Commander gang, led by Belle and Lieutenant Cherry use ambush tactics, pouncing on the snacks from the shadows.

*Even the Corals participate. They love Goldfish crackers, but they hate to seem like they’re enjoying anything too much. Instead, they lounge around, occasionally snagging Goldfish that fly by and cramming them into their mouths before anyone can see them. By the end of the Great Goldfish Hunt, the Corals are openly chasing the Goldfish crackers, laughing in delight whenever they capture one while everyone else in the shop pretends not to notice.

*Corals lift their Goldfish crackers into the air, tapping them together as if they are toasting their hunting success.

“GOLDFISH!”

they cry in unison then immediately pretend it never happened.

welp, i just realized I've could have possibly left glitter's bro behind so imma adopt a Papython i don't like leaving him behind and hadn't been aware of that till now!-new anon

*The Papython sighs as he tidies his nest for the day. He knows his brother, a Corny now known as Glitter, has gone to a good home, but the Papython misses him. All of the other Cornies and Papythons from their clutches have been adopted, but this Papython just hasn’t been interested. Instead he tidies his nest and knits. The rhythm of the movement and clacking of the needles soothes him.

*He remembers growing up in the nursery. Each time a clutch appears for one type of lamia, a clutch of their brothers’ eggs also appears. Mamba eggs are always accompanied by Chain eggs; Papython eggs are always accompanied by Corny eggs. Krait eggs are always found mixed in with the other clutches. He and Glitter had hatched and grown up side by side. He sighs at the memory.

*He also remembers the day that Glitter got adopted. That morning, he had dropped off the mermaid tail tail-sweater to Belle the Commander in exchange for some false eyelashes that she had somehow acquired. Glitter had wanted them for an April Fool’s Day prank. The Papython had even helped Glitter apply them… then Glitter was gone. Adopted.

*Clack, clack, clack. The Papython puts the finishing touches on the last mermaid tail tail-sweater, this one specially designed for Lieutenant Cherry. After Glitter got adopted, the Papython had made the tail-sweaters for all of the members of Belle’s Commander gang. He drops off the tail-warmer to the delighted Commanders (and Lt. Cherry), and slithers through the shop wondering what to knit next.

*The Papython hears a voice calling to him, and much to his astonishment, he sees Glitter slithering towards him… Glitter, actually moving at more than a snail’s pace… wide awake for once, and still wearing the eyelashes. The Papython surges forward, sweeping Glitter into a tight hug. The Papython gives his brother a concerned look. “Back? Return?” he hisses, wondering if the person who had adopted Glitter no longer wanted him.

* “nah,” Glitter replies. “i have a great home, but there is one thing missin’. can’t spell ‘utopia’ without U.” Glitter smiles, waiting for his comment to sink in. The Papython cries tears of joy. You smile too, already filling out the adoption form at the front desk. Can’t spell “reunite” without U and I either.

b enters with a big pile of books for kings- however one special homemade illustrated book about a king lamia hero is hidden in it somewhere. the king can all get a copy but the first one to find the original can keep it. food is placed on the counter. shining treasures are magically hidden everywhere like easter eggs. an homemade one in the shape of a star has the tag "for commandent cherry !☆"b gently pets their fav puppy in the world "i wasn't there for a while but hell yeah best blog ;3 "-B☆

*Honey grabs Poff by the hand and pulls him over to meet you. They both somehow manage to climb into your lap for pets, though Poff is obviously flustered by the attention. Chains hang back while Corals descend on the shiny treasures, each Coral searching out a new treasure for his hoard then bumping you with their hands in what would definitely not ever be considered grateful pats at all.

*Once the Corals have finished their treasure hunt, Chains slither around, locating each and every remaining treasure with uncanny accuracy. They Chains thank you by slithering over to smooch your cheeks, not shy at all with their affection. Belle the leader of the Commander bitties finds the treasure for Lieutenant Cherry and calls him over. Lt. Cherry’s eyes morph into stars. A special treasure, all for him? He runs over and gives you a shy hug as thanks.

*Meanwhile the Kings are sorting through the books, each lamia selecting a book that looks the most interesting to him and helping his fellow Kings track down titles they might enjoy. Nobody notices a sneaky little Butter picking up books from the pile until he holds one up, shouting excitedly in his baby babble and pointing to the picture of a heroic on the cover. “Dad!” he proclaims, tapping the picture.

*Not only did Butter find the very special book, but he imagines that the heroic King on the cover is his father, Waffle, the largest King lamia bitty in existence. Waffle collects his son, a light blush on his cheekbones as his son shows him the book.

Its as (Sorry this is late but I wanted to do something cute) *luck comes into the shop with me as I stand by vex, luck has a bunch of stuff on hand and in his coat following the colors red, pink, and white luck goes over to the commander hideout and leaves the gifts with a note addressed to the cherry coral lieutenant saying "you are loved" and leaves to hide behind the counter by vex and me* *surprise he left tons of Valentine's stuff for the cherry lieutenant! Does luck have a crush? Idk*

*Belle the Commander lamia bitty and Lieutenant Cherry the Cherry bitty emerge from the Commander nest to start the day’s shenanigans. Cherry spots all of the Valentine’s Day stuff, and he and Belle start to sort through it. Cherry holds up the note to show to Belle; she reads it and smiles at him. “From you?” he asks, but she shakes her head.

* “Oh,” says Lt. Cherry, deflating a bit. He’s glad someone loves him, but now he’s afraid that someone is trying to take him away from Belle. He throws himself at her, weeping. “Please, Belle, please don’t let them take me away. Whatever I did, I’m sorry!”

*Belle’s sockets widen in surprise. She thought maybe Lt. Cherry had taken a mate, or in the very least that he would enjoy having an admirer. Belle had always worried that being aro/ace would result in Lt. Cherry eventually leaving for a more rewarding relationship. 

*Though Lt Cherry was asexual himself, he had strong romantic feelings for Belle. She loved him, but it was a platonic love. It had always been enough for Cherry, and he never asked for more. “I will never let anyone take you unlesssssss you truly dessssire to go,” she hissed to him softly in the language of the lamias, which Lt. Cherry understood. He sniffled.

*Wiping his nasal cavity, Lt. Cherry looked around and addressed the room at large. “Thank you, admirer, but I love Miss Belle n’ she loves me too n’ even if it’s not romantic love, I wouldn’t want it any other way because that’s who she is! We can be friends, but my very SOUL belongs to Belle.” Lieutenant Cherry trembles from his long speech.

*Belle slips her hand into Lt. Cherry’s and leads him back into the nest to put away his Valentine’s gifts.

(Sorry but Lt. Cherry and Belle are kind of a thing. Cherry doesn’t mind making friends, but his heart belongs to her)

*Shyly shuffles in the doors, my full sized chain following close behind with a box under one arm.* Hey! I dunno if you remember me! But I adopted Angel here a while back, and we made some flower crowns for the bitties! And flower bracelets for those on the larger side! *Smiles. Angel flops over onto the floor and spreads the accessories out so everyone can get the ones they want.* I was also told to ask about the sad little pure bite that needs a home, I have a special crown just for him!

*The flower crowns and bracelets are an instant hit at the shop. Mambas decorate themselves, and Papythons liven up their nests with the beautiful blossoms. Lieutenant Cherry and Belle the Commander make an appearance, sifting through the various crowns and bracelets to find the best ones for the Commander Gang’s nest. A Corny rolls out from underneath the anti-venom fridge, rolls through the crowns and bracelets until he is absolutely covered with flowers, then rolls back under the fridge to deliver the goodies to the other Cornies.

*Vex smiles when you ask about the Pure Bite. He was brought here because his owner was having financial troubles and thought it would be best to rehome him, and a bitty shop is a great place for a very small Pure Bite with a very big heart. It doesn’t take long for him to make an appearance either, running as fast as he can on his short little legs. He stumbles and falls, but leaps right back up to his feet to run to you for his flower crown.

*You carefully place the crown on top of the little Pure Bite’s head. He reaches up to touch one of the flowers, tears in his red eyes. “He really likes flowers. I think he would enjoy gardening,” whispers Vex.  The Pure Bite reaches into his pocket, pulling out a slightly lint-covered chocolate, the last remnant from the presentation gift he gave to his first owner. He presents it to you.

*Angel saves you having to eat the questionable chocolate by accepting the gift on your behalf and popping it into his mouth. He realizes too late that the chocolate was not a chocolate at all but a well-decorated plastic prop. He swallows it anyway, and the Pure Bite does a little happy dance. You can’t help smiling at the adorable little guy. You ask Vex if he has a name. 

*Vex’s smile widens. “Yes,” she says. “His name is Purr. It was originally a play on the word Pure from his bitty type.” Vex crouches down and gives the tiny bitty a gentle rub between the shoulder blades. He immediately lays flat on his tummy on the shop floor, purring like a muscle car motor. “I think it fits him perfectly.”

(This is a special adoption scenario for the Pure Bite desktop buddy. Other bittybones dolls are also available, and each purchase comes with an adoption scenario or drabble for that specific bitty.)

Maybe you remember the ask about the favourite heros/villans of the bittys so.. me and my papyton Sirius planed something for the bitties in the shop~

We prepared some of the Cosplays in wich we want to visit the lamias in the shop on Halloween!  We have different cosplay so we could change to show as much as we can and play a bit with them. at the end Sirius could show up as the Pumkin King Jack Skellington to give some Candys to the bittys. I really hope they will enjoy this little surprise~

It is Halloween Day, and the Lamia Bittybones Adoption Center is in complete chaos. Edgar is allowing the older hatchlings to take part in the festivities, but the little beepers and peepers are safely tucked away in the nursery with the door firmly closed to keep them from being frightened.

Vex keeps putting up decorations in an attempt to create a Halloween mood, but her efforts are thwarted at every turn. She placed a line of fake rats along the windowsill, but the Mambas hunted them to extinction along with the bats dangling from the ceiling. Fake cobwebs were quickly swept away by neat and tidy Papythons.

Vex tried hanging Halloween-colored lights in orange and purple, but they inexplicably ended up inside of the Commander nest. Vex asked for them back, but since she wasn’t on the guest list for the exclusive Commander Gang Halloween Party, Belle refused to let her in. Exasperated, Vex hung up last minute crepe paper streamers, but Corals couldn’t resist the texture of the crinkled paper, and the decorations were quickly torn away and hidden in various hoards around the shop.

Fortunately, Vex didn’t have to worry about the candy for the party. Decoy candy bowls had been placed throughout the shop that morning to lure the lamias away from the real stash- locked away in Vex’s filing cabinet drawer. Sure enough as the day progressed, brightly colored Japanese candies vanished into the Commander nest. The Laffy Taffy bowl could be seen upended near the anti-venom fridge.

Corals feigned indifference, but every few seconds a quick little hand darted into a bowl of salted caramels and pocketed a few. The Mambas eagerly collected their bowl of super sour candies, looking forward to the puckered mouth and swollen tongue sensation only to find that some prankster Cornies had removed all of the sour candies from the wrappers and replaced them with rocks!

Even poor Honey the Pappy puppypapri has been tricked! The older hatchlings convinced him that he needed to restock the filing cabinet, and when he unlocked the bottom drawer, they absconded with the candy! Now they are all in the infirmary with tummy aches being tutted at by the Nurse Papythons for eating too many sweets!

The holiday seems destined to dissolve into pandemonium when you show up to save the day with your Papython Sirius and a series of entertaining and impressive cosplays. The shop falls silent, and lamia bittybones crowd around when you come through the door dressed as Toothless and Hiccup. Mambas cheer to see their favorite dragon hero and his human friend paying them a visit.

Edgar peeks out of the nursery and sees that your outfits are very hatchling friendly, so he leads the baby lamias out of the nursery to watch the show. Adult lamia move aside to give the little ones the best viewing spots. Larger full-sized Kings let the smallest babies perch atop their heads. 

Even Butter is allowed out of the nest to participate in the festivities. He’s not entirely sure what’s going on because it’s his first Halloween, but he yells BOO! a lot since it seems like the thing to do. Each time he BOOs, the Kings flare their hoods in mock fright, making baby Butter giggle. You take advantage of the distraction to change outfits in a room in the nursery, emerging next as Lilo and Stitch.

The Corals go crazy. They point and cheer, completely forgetting that they are supposed to be too cool and tough to enjoy cosplays of their favorite character. Several of them hold up crayon drawings showing their badness levels which they estimate to be unusually high for lamias of their size (claims of badness are greatly exaggerated).

All of the lamias are impressed by the Coco character cosplays; they love skeleton characters. Of course every Honey Bo in the shop recognizes Miguel and Hector. Despite the lamias not having feet, the Honey Bos have found a collection of slippers and flip-flops to shake at Ernesto. After Ernesto’s “retreat” (for an outfit change), the Honey Bos slither around proudly.

The sight of the next characters- Sonic and Amy- sets off a flurry of activity in the shop. A whirlwind of Pygmies zoom in excited circles around their heroes, showing off their own magnificent speed. A friendly and helpful Chain tosses some gold-colored rings into the air, and the Pygmies leap and backflip to catch them, presenting them to Sonic (and a few, blushingly, to Amy).

The grand finale makes the crowd go wild. Of course every lamia bitty has seen The Nightmare Before Christmas! Kings, Papythons, and Mambas alike all love Jack Skellington’s impeccable style. A whisper of “pretty” travels through the crowd as they admire your Sally cosplay. Hearing all of the cheering, Butter slithers forward to insert himself into the commotion. The crowd goes silent, wondering what he will do.

“BOO,” shouts Butter at Sirius. Apparently he wants to challenge this strange skeleton lamia in the only way he knows how. Always a good sport, Sirius crouches down to Butter’s eye level.

“It looks like we have a new Pumpkin King,” he declares to deafening applause. Sirius glances quickly at Syrup, who nods. Sirius scoops up baby Butter and holds him high while the other lamias chant “Pumpkin King!” Butter wiggles with joy at the attention and ends up falling asleep in Sirius’ arms, tired out from all of the excitement.

Happy Halloween!

*The centaur dashes trhough the door, carrying a book 'STORYTIME FOR THE LAMIAS' .Procedes to burrito warp the closest lamia around her. Lift in the air. Screams in a playful manner* SACRIFICE! *She is not really going to sacrifice him. Looking behind her, you see a parade of Pygmys, all carrying blankets and pillows* TO THE VOLCANO! (Walks to a nest made of of blankets, shaped like a tiny soft vocano) *hijinks ensure*

*A Corny is easily burrito wrapped in the blanket. He pretends to struggle weakly, going along with the game. “oh no, i, a damsel, am about to be sacrificed,” he deadpans unconvincingly. Belle the Commander bitty is playing the part of the Volcano Spirit, and she scolds the Corny for his lackluster performance.

*Lieutenant Cherry dances around, demanding the sacrifice at the foot of the “volcano.” A King comes forward, sweeping in to rescue the Corny and be the hero. Nabbing the Corny just in time before he is tipped into the blanket nest volcano, the King bridal carries the still-bundled Corny away. The Pygmies cheer.

* “Oh no!” bellows Lt. Cherry. “Without the sacrifice, the Volcano Spirit has become angry, and now the volcano will erupt!” Belle rises up from the blanket volcano, making fearsome growling sounds. Once she is as tall as she can stand, she raises her arms. Nothing happens.

* “Now?” comes a muffled voice from inside the blanket volcano. “Now!” shouts Belle. Honey the Pappy puppypapri stands up, “erupting” from the pile of blankets. The other lamias scatter as the “lava” chases them, giggling.
