#sleepy Alvin

[chipmunkweirdo]

Teaser art from the next upcoming mini tale! It’s a parody of Weekend At Bernie’s but inspired by the Drake and Josh episode titled Little Diva.

The plot is that Brittany knocks Alvin unconscious by hitting him with his own car. She and Eleanor must find a way to puppet the unconscious Alvin through their next concert without anyone discovering what happened.

It’s laugh out loud fun with a Halloweeny vibe that you don’t wanna miss!

Obi and his cat :3

Don’t listen to him, it’s obviously not a raccoon. He’s just that type of dad who says they don’t want a pet but are the closest to them

AKSHDGAKSDKSD COSMO OH MY GOODNESS ITS MY BABIES HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Jerry is basically a cat, he has a black hole stomach like one and will scream for affection while bowling into you (ignore the rabies)

And oh yeah, Obi is in denial but they are ever so slowly being won over. Especially since they got to see pictures of Jerry in a little sweater Zeek had thrifted munching on some fries.

But they will avoid the inevitable as long as they can.

a bad apple and an awful scallion!

“My sister Jeanette reacts weird to supplements. She took a melatonin at the recommended dose for 3 days and now she’s sleepy even DURING THE DAY!”

“She slept through History, Math, and Literature. She’s still too drowsy to function.”

“Time to cut the recommended dose in half I guess.”

[alvinmichaelmurphyseville]

“I spent yesterday as a spaced out zombie because I forgot I can’t take melatonin 3 nights in a row.”

“I woke up thinking today was Wednesday (it’s THURSDAY) because I have 0 memory of yesterday whatsoever.”

“Now I missed a whole DAY’S worth of classwork and homework!”

“This month has been a rollercoaster.”

🎶“Wake me up, when September ends.” 🎶

[jeanetteirismiller]

“Goodness. That was a long nap.”

“I do feel very refreshed though.”

Boy if you don’t switch that voice back-

[minimarvelh]

Do you have any sleepy irondad cuddles headcannons? the pet names are literally the cutest

OMG YES YES YES

I headcanon Tony calling Peter kid, kiddo around other people, but when they alone (or with Pepper) he calls him bubba, roo, spiderbaby, chipmunk (form Alvin and the chipmunks, I headcanon that Peter LOVES this cartoon and every month they are rewatching it and Tony finds some resemblance between Peter and Theodore (“honestly, Peter has characteristics all of them”) so Tony calls him chipmunk)

Most of the time Peter calls Tony “Mr.Stark” despite how close they are, but when he is sleepy he slips and calls him dad.

If Peter falls asleep on the couch, Tony carries him into his room.

If Peter has nightmares, he comes into Tony’s and Pepper’s bedroom and sleeps with them.

Peter is like a small octopus and always sleeps literally on Tony, compressing him and making it hard for the man to breathe (what we do for our kids)

Pepper always laughs and makes a tons of pictures of them.

Peter is really affectionate, but when he is sleepy he is 1000% more affectionate and always wants as much physical contact as possible.

One of the first times when they cuddled on the couch, Tony discovered if Peter feels comfortable and safe he purrs.

Peter is a big spoon (he is an octopus and a spider, of course he is a big spoon)

that’s only some of them!! (sorry for responding so late😭😭)

I hope you are having an amazing day!!

blankets and plushies | woonhak

— ✧ • ˳೫˚ part of my valentine event!

೫ pairing: bf!woonhak and gf!reader

೫ summary: you and woonhak spend valentine’s making a pillow fort and staying in to watch movies

೫ genre/word count: fluff! 788 words!

೫ author’s notes: ahhh this was too cute to write! i struggled with the ending 😭 but it turned out cuter than i expected ! happy end of my valentine event !! semi-proofread

4:30 pm -

“Woonie, what part of this looks like a fort to you?” A fit of laughter threatens to escape your mouth. The pillows were rapidly falling, making your end of the pillow fort look like a sad pile of blankets. Woonhak gave you a sheepish glance, hurriedly adjusting the pillows and placing books to hold up the pillows in place. He wanted you to enjoy your spot in the fort, and he wouldn’t have as much fun either if the pillows kept falling onto your head.

After some 30-odd minutes of watching and giggling as Woonhak fixed the fort, the precious pillow fort was finally done. Plopping onto the blankets, he turns to you asking, “What should we watch?” You pretend to think for a really long time, putting your fingers under your chin. Muttering softly, you name movies you always enjoyed as a child. "Well I always liked James Bond...or maybe Harry Potter...oh wait, how about Tangled? Nah, there's also Wall-E...oh but what about Pirates of the Caribbean?"

Woonhak laughs, staring at you with wide eyes as he listens intently to you ramble on about the various movies and genres you enjoy. Your quiet muttering would sound crazy to anyone else, but to Woonhak, it was incredibly calming. The way your voice sounded like a harmony that blessed his ears. He could listen to you for hours, days on end, and he'd never get bored.

"So...Wall-E?" He tilts his head toward you, breaking the silence after you've stopped muttering. The screen flicks, changing to show the preview of Wall-E. Smiling to yourself, you nod, adding, "We should definitely watch it." Woonhak giggles, re-enacting how Wall-E was when he met Eve.

"Eeeeve. Eeve? Eva." You burst out laughing at his robot impression, sounding more similar to a chipmunk than a bot. “Woonie, you sound like Alvin.” He rolls his eyes, playfully scoffing as he grabs the remote to click play.

“Hey- if I’m Alvin, who are the others?” He asks, whispering to you. Without even turning to him, you quickly shush him, telling him that this is a part he shouldn’t miss. It was the scene where Eve and Wall-E are running from the other robots, but the Captain knows that Eve has the last plant from Earth. You’d always loved Wall-E, telling your mom when you were little that robots had a better love story than most people.

You giggle at the screen, settling yourself into the fort, bringing a blanket over yourself. Next to you, Woonhak couldn’t focus on the screen, rather, he was staring at you. Sometimes you never failed to make him laugh and you were like a walking sunshine. He couldn’t believe that you were next to him and on Valentine’s Day too no less.

On the other hand, you were beginning to feel sleepy. Perhaps it was because most of your energy was spent laughing with Woonhak as you both made the fort, but either way, you were tired. Your eyelids felt increasingly heavy as you tried your best to focus on the movie.

You relented, giving in to your body wanting sleep. “Used up all your energy, huh?” He laughs quietly, sighing happily as your head falls onto his shoulder. For a few minutes, he watched the movie, making sure to not move so that you could sleep well. The movie was quietly playing in the background as he felt himself get tired with you.

Thirty minutes later, Jaehyun and Sungho came back from the store, grocery bags in hand. They set down the bags, chattering about how they could use help and how they’ll eat all the food if no one else came to help. But how were you both supposed to know? After all, you and Woonhak were asleep in the pillow fort; the movie now playing the credits.

“Hm? Is Woonhak in his room?” Sungho nods at Jaehyun’s question, as he takes out a bottle of chocolate milk. Jaehyun gives him a quick thank you, walking off to get his favorite maknae. As he approached the door, he heard the tell-tale sound of the Disney credits. Opening the door quietly, half-expecting to see you both choosing the next movie, but he wasn’t surprised when he saw you both asleep.

“Awwww.” He swooned, taking his phone out to take a picture, finding you both so cute. You were both snoring softly, the blanket covering the both of you. It was an adorable sight, and you’d wake up to see his hyungs in the fort with you, watching a movie. Some may say it’s annoying but in many ways, it was a perfect Valentine’s Day- spent with what you and Woonhak would call your second family.

Somewhat related to the last post.

Here’s how the Chipmunks and Chipettes react to taking 2 melatonin gummies a night for 3 nights.

Brittany: Lost all emotions other than irritability. Closed herself off and avoided people all day. Today, she’s back to being herself.

Simon: Literally no change. He was his usual self. He normally feels somewhat emotionally blunted as is. The calmness and quiet was very nice for him.

Eleanor: Pretty much the same as usual. It didn’t even touch her emotional responses at all. She could still be a little fireball when she wanted to be.

Theodore: Very groggy and a little sleepy, but still his cheerful and empathetic self. Today he is only mildly groggy.

Jeanette: She slept basically all of yesterday and still feels tired, but at least she’s awake today. Poor thing. She is enjoying the calmness, she just wishes she could power through the drowsy.

Alvin: Awake, but no thoughts head empty. Even more a walking zombie than I was. Quiet. Withdrawn. Very very disturbing to have him like this. Today, he is talking again but he’s still no where near as chatty as usual and all his emotions are flatlined out and only thought about, rather than felt. (He despises this because of how different it is to his baseline.)

Hey, just wondering if you could give us some insight into how the sleepy kitten cafe staff met Alan/got close to him/what they think of him. Also curious to see what all the bats think about cardinal. Did they ever meet in costume?

P.S: Keep up the good work!!

Of course!! I touched a little bit in "Jerry the Raccoon" but that was mostly Tim & Zeek (and it was not my best chapter- but I refuse to edit it for my own sanity)

Also so far? No. Cardinal manages to maintain a distance 24/7 with bats (almost as if hes tracking them during patrol- wild right??) But overall

Bruce is tearing his hair out, but admits they are useful and more effort than they're worth.

Babs adores them, and is on a mission to find them out and take them under her wing

Dick finds Bruce plight funny- but is kinda unnerved how similar Cardinal is to a talon in some ways. (also just creepy in general)

Jason "Game recognizes game" but wishes Cardinal would stop running so he could ask him more questions

Cass never gets close. But not bothered by them.

Steph thinks Cardinal is badass but keeps her distance, doesnt trust the vibes

Damien acts like he doesn't care about Cardinal (He so does, hes obsessed- lowkey fanboy behavior)

Alfred thinks its nice Bruce has someone else willing to deal with Gotham, who ISN'T under his nagging control. Theres some respect there.

NOW Sleepy Kitten fam backstory (as of rn, subject to change as lore provides)

Well Alan Draper (Originally Alvin) was a normal civillian persona Tim had- but in order to MAKE a persona, people need to know you. Otherwise it takes a quick asking around to realize you aren't who you say you are.

So when Tim was Fifteen or so Alan "moved to Gotham" from Chicago and started taking classes at Gotham University. He started showing up at the cafe out of pure convinence before Obi and Gwen worked there (officially)

Obi's dad had a run in with a rouge, got injured, and couldn't work both shifts. So they turned to part time student and began running the store. They'd gotten used to Alan hanging around and they talked on ocassion but mostly enjoyed silence when the other was working. Slowly but surely Tim grew to love being Alan- one of the few times he could be stress free anymore and yet not be so alone. And Obi dealing with the stress of taking over family buisness had one customer whose ever presence was comforting.

A few months pass and they consider each other pretty close friends to the point Alan had a spare key to the cafe in case of emergencies. Soon after some of the other staff quit and Obi opened applications- Gwen showed up, nervous as hell having never worked a day in her life and already applying to like ten other positions.

But Obi was desperate and soon enough Gwen was at the cafe just about every hour of the day and night. It got to the point where she would hang out even after her shift.

Then by pure forced proximity, Alan grew to love her company just as much as Obi- though in a way that forced him out of his shell just a bit.

It was clockwork of Alan, Gwen, and Obi all at the Sleepy Kitten on random day hours chatting away while working.

Events of the chapter transpire, with Alan showing up with this guy who 100% belongs in a gang, but Obi takes "minding their own buisness" HARD and trusts both Alan and Gwens opinions (Gwen who just saw sad guy and forced to help)

Now Obi has basically permenantly taken over the cafe, but still takes some art school classes on the side with some of the profits that don't go back into the cafe.

Gwen and Zeek have an apartment together in the far narrows since Gwen was desperate to move out, and Zeek was company and free security, who also needed a place. Apartment is just a block or so from the cafe too

Alan lives outside downtown but commutes often, works odd hours but whenever he is free, will set up in the cafe and enjoy the peace for a bit with his friends.

Long story short- they were coworker friends, except Alan refused to take a job literally ever.

[pagangamer9]

Stumbled upon this fan series and made a short compilation of one moment I liked from all (so far) four episodes, consisting of smol Adam❕, sleepy Big G 💤, the G man’s lil ~✨ and Lucifer’s expressions ⁉️ which are just hilarious and Michael being knocked down from his pedestal is just so satisfying 😈

I also like Big G’s “Me-damn!”’s and Vite une pause moments 😮‍💨💬

It’s short but I’m quite proud of it 🤩

(I added Spyro’s ‘Magic Crafters’ theme btw, I thought it fit 💫)

[the-flaming-nightmare]

Tell me more about #1- Regressuary 2025 please!!

Thank you so much for asking! 😁❤

So, I already have the first 3 days written (they'll just need to be edited before being posted when the time comes), but I do still need to get started on the remaining days. I'll give you a snippet from each of those 3 days, then I'll list my prompts and pairings that I'll be doing for the others!

Day 1: Daddy!Monroe and Little!Nick from Grimm –

Quickly looking over the food that was still cooking one last time, the Blutbad exhaled a small sigh of relief. He just as quickly (albeit still very carefully) taking both dishes out and setting them on the counter, before hurrying out of the kitchen and towards the stairs to Nick's nursery.

Upon reaching the nursery and walking in, Monroe felt his heart stutter in his chest when he didn't automatically spot Nick in the room. Before the panic could fully consume him, however though, he caught barely audible but distinct sound of sniffles coming from inside the closet he now noticed was cracked open.

"Nicky?" Monroe softly called, padding up to the door. "Can I come in?" He asked, hand already on the doorknob in advance.

After a brief moment of silence that honestly felt way longer, Monroe heard the boy mumble a faint 'yes.' Not needing to be told twice, he immediately pulled the door open. The light from the nursery spilled into the closet, revealing a heartbreaking sight.

Nick was sat curled up in a corner of the closet, clutching his white bunny-shaped lovey to his chest with one of its long ears between his teeth, and tear tracks on his cheeks.

Day 2: Daddy!Bobby/Mama!Athena and Little!Buck from 9-1-1 –

"Buck, honeybun, it's time for bed now."

The sound of Athena's voice had Buck's eyes snapping back open and his head jerking up from where he had it resting on Bobby's chest, peering up at her with a sleepy pair of puppy-dog eyes.

"No, mama," Buck whined and shook his head, tightening his arms around Bobby. "Wanna finish watching Alvin an' Chipmunks with daddy."

"Mama's right. It's time for all good little boys to go to bed. We can finish the movie tomorrow, sweetheart," Bobby said, picking the remote up and hitting pause.

"But you gotta work a'morrow." Buck buried his face back into Bobby's chest.

"I do, but I'll be home a little earlier tomorrow, so I'll be back in time for dinner and to finish watching the movie with you."

"Don't want you to go t'work," Buck mumbled into the soft, dark red fabric of the man's T-shirt.

Bobby and Athena shared a knowing look with each other over their son's head.

Ever since the fire and Bobby's coma, Buck had been especially clingy to the older man while regressed. While Buck no longer woke from nightmares every time he fell asleep in headspace, and nor did he break down into tears anymore when Bobby wasn't in the same room as him, he was still suffering from a decent amount of separation anxiety. And with Bobby not being the captain of the 118 anymore, that certainly wasn't doing Buck any favors when he was in his adult headspace.

Day 3: Daddy!Monroe/Mommy!Rosalee and Little!Nick from Grimm –

"Hey, guys. I just wanted to let you know that the captain sent Nick home early today. He left just a few minutes ago. We, uh..." Hank briefly paused, exhaling a deep, sullen sigh. "We had a case go sideways this evening. It wasn't wesen related, but there was a married couple involved. We were able to save the husband, but... the killer had already got to the wife before we got there."

Monroe and Rosalee felt their hearts drop into their stomach.

"How, uh, how did he seem?" Monroe asked. "After you guys got back to the station, I mean."

"Quiet and withdrawn. He went straight to his desk when we got back and barely spoke a word to anybody, just worked on his report until the captain called him into his office."

The couple both winced in sympathy for their poor Grimm. They looked over at each other and had a brief, silent conversation through looks alone before returning their attention back to the phone.

"Thank you for letting us know what's going on, Hank," Rosalee said. "Nick probably won't be up to talking with us either, so now we know why and how to deal with that."

"Yeah, man. Seriously, we appreciate the call," Monroe added.

A Link to the Past Link Character Analysis

Story Premise: Links from different Hyrules are suddenly transported from their own worlds into an entirely different one. Together, they must use their triforces to open portals and travel to several different worlds in order to try and find their own Hyrules. Along the way, they discover that someone is intentionally messing with the worlds, and their new goal is to find and defeat the troublemaker. Things will not be easy, though, not least because they all have their own issues they must work through....

Name: Peregrine ("traveller")

Age: between 15 and 16

Issue: Fatigue

Peace has been restored to his Hyrule, and he now serves as Princess Zelda's knight. However, he has been having a lot of trouble with feeling tired and falling asleep all the time. Going back and forth between the light and dark worlds was taxing on his body, and without the triforce, he would not survive. His triforce, however, is slowly fading for some reason. If the triforce fades completely, he will die. Unable to find a way to stop the triforce's decay, he decides to hide it and enjoy life as much as he can with the time he has left.

Characteristics:

--can fall asleep anywhere, even in the middle of a battle; he'll be awake one second and then the next he's out; always tired and sleepy even when he is awake

--acts nonchalant and carefree; likes to tease and play around, especially with Mungo (Minish Cap); his cheerfulness is somewhat of a facade to deny his own problems even to himself

--Knows more than he'll tell; has a good amount of knowledge about magic and dark worlds

--Like Ainsley (Ocarina of Time), he's already overcome most of his guilt and shame, but also like Ainsley keeps his painful emotions to himself

--has some doubts about Fingal (first Link) at first, because he can sense there's some darkness in Fingal's heart; but eventually they become good friends

--saved by Fingal giving up his triforce and giving it to Peregrine

--learns to open up more to the others when he is feeling sad

--realizes that Alvin (Link's Awakening) will die if he goes back to his world (because he's stranded at sea), so Peregrine offers to take Alvin back to his own world which is a parallel to Alvin's Hyrule; sort of adopts Alvin as a little brother
