"Oh, mornin' Casper." Grim glanced up from the tome he was reading at the desk with a brighter smile than usual. A few months into being a night librarian and he's grown more comfortable and sure of himself within the Night Library.

"All good?" He's pretty sure Casper usually came in earlier than this, but he could be wrong. Best not to ask directly when there's patrons around, though.

I may be a hopeless romantic overthinker, but do you guys ever think about the pet names?

I’m out of creative ideas due to attempting to write a pirate script, so we’re talking pet names.

Here are some of my favorites that I can remember from some of my favorite VAs. I know it may be cringe, but I don’t care. These are just ones that make me smile, melt, or laugh.

Notice: while I love nicknames like Yuurivoice’s Cass/Casper, Scythe Audio’s Demon Girl, or Escaped Audio’s Denny’s, this will be pet names and nothing that specific.

(for Silvyia) ✨Let's talk about OCs!✨ How would you describe your OC's personality/aesthetic? What's your favourite thing about them? Tell us a fun fact(s) about your OC or their creation! 🤍 Send this to at least 3 people to spread some OC appreciation! 🤍

I just made this art of Selvi ✨✨❄️

Thanks for the question @averytiredbitch !

Selviya. Oh boy! Where do I even begin?

Selviya is my second lovely girl after Aliyaa. She is the sweetest gal, Literally.

Luckily, Selviya doesn’t have a complex personality, she lives by the moto ‘I treat you as thine treat me’ she is nice to the people are nice to her, and to her friends and besties only. She is mean and sassy to those who are mean and rude to her. She likes to ‘match their energy’ and ‘personality’ she is literally Usagi and Minako combined but she isn’t a cry baby. And she act silly sometimes.

As for her aesthetics. There are many, many aesthetics that fit Selviy, or I even tagged Selviya with:

Snow and winter (she loves winter) coquettecore, coquette girl. Dollcore, dolly, white colour aesthetics. It girl (that girl) make up girly. And so on.

Facts about her:

⭐️ Her name is equivalent to Sirius Star, In the Virginian language; Selviya means ‘the brightest star’ and shares alot with her namesake.

1- Selviya used to be a bounty hunter.

2- she is a Celestial Princess (just like Princess Serenity) but her name is Empress Starlight

3- she has two white ferrets (Casper and Snow)

3- She is a pure-blood Cryomancer, although her parents were never Cryomancers. (i’ll explain it later) Aliyaa had taught her magic (Telekinesis, teleportation and so on)

4- Selviya had a crush on a depressed artist: his name was Travis Wellington, he died in art gallery explosion (Moirvdonne series) I will work on that story, I swear! She eventually moved on, and now she is dating Kuai Liang.

5- Selviya’s hair glows in the dark, so she never worry about being struck in a dark place.

6- Selviya can hear people’s voices, even If they are far, far, far away from her. And their souls too.

7- she has a room full of star plushies, Stitch and even blue pokemon characters. (Bonus fact).

[alms4oblivion]

Hello Alms!! For the asking game: 3. Are there any fics that inspired you to write what you do?

Hi there! Absolutely, lots of fics have inspired me. My first fic, Friends with my Ex, (and the decision to write generally) was heavily influenced by Sei's SMAU "Theory of Parallel and Intersecting Lines," sometimes referred to as TOPAIL. My second fic was indirectly inspired by frenchsoda's "The to do list," which really cracked open for me the idea of here's how to make Beatrice more proactive in the friends to lovers dynamic (and probably subconsciously influenced the structure of that fic). My vampire fics were influenced in the negative by puppybusby's "in my veins" in that I wanted to avoid doing a more serious vampire piece like that (and some minor character choices, like for Crimson and Mary, were more directly influenced by it).

In a broader sense, I've read over 1000 Warrior Nun fics (including SMAUs), so I've been influenced by a LOT. Some highlights off the top of my head are simplykorra and puppybusby, whose characterizations across their fics are probably the foundation of how I hear these characters in my head. Thistle's Beyond our Space and Starlight is something I think about a lot, and especially whenever I write action. If I write a metaphor or a line that sounds particularly beautiful, I probably read something by Casper (daisychiansandbowties on AO3) shortly before writing it, or had something by Casper in my mind. sunsafe's Do a Flip and its Land Upright series are a major influence on a WIP I haven't released yet. If I'm taking a big swing without regard for whether it will be popular because I know it's right for the story, MsWitsEnd's Crowne Affair is probably in the back of my mind.

Too many to list in full, to be honest. This fandom blows me away.

[leynaeithnea]

Question

Are there other musicals that you like a lot ? ( If yes you're very welcome to yap about them 🙃 )

Im so behind on musicals ngl lmaooo and none of the ones I've watched ever caused such hyperfocus obsession as Epic, back in 2020 (?) I listened a LOT to hamiltion, its a really great musical, "Who lives who dies who tells your story" still makes me tear up as well as "quiet uptwn", and im still avoiding phillips songs, "Wait for it" is probably one of my favorite songs because a lot of the time I can really relate to Burrs sentiment, and "dear theodorisa" is so beautiful....mmhh, many many good songs there! could probabyl ramble a bunch more abotu them, but my love for them dont reach as deep as for epic i also like some songs from a few other musicals, evan hansen (they accompanied me a lot through 2021) , be more chill, heathers, .....OH yeah i love hazbin hotel, thats a lot of fun, but yeah for those kind of except hazbin bc its a show, i just tend to pick out my favorite songs and im not too much into the rest of them mhhhh besides that Ive been going to musicals and plays with my family for as long as i can remember to some local stages, theres a big-ish small one near my moms where we went regularly for years with elementary school and in private and at my dads we would go to the christmas play/musical almost ever year at the local stage there with my whole family there I miss that tbh, i gotta do that more often since im watching Casper and Mortius a lot right now who do a lot of muscial content im probably going to get to know a few others soon, like hadestown (been aware of it for a while but never really got into it) and SIX Oh I forgorrr, sometime around christmas or so a concept album for a christian musical came out and i was obssessed with that for a week or two, the vocals in that are REALLY good, its called "Of Ashes", and its a retelling of the leper and uh...a story about a whore...? (...yeah no im not that familiar with the bible) im also not that religious or christian but it rly is a great musical and has some amazingggg vocals my obssesion with epic makes me realize i shouldve really been a theatre kid, i was a choir kid up until 10th grade and i really miss that but i rly love acting, i just need a LOT of practice and i also suck at improvisation....im..trying, but its a looot easier when i have a script I can follow, thats why acitng out epic wiht my friend was so fun! bc i knew what was coming and because we didnt really discuss it long beforehand so stagefright and overthinking about being perceived didnt kick in seigjseg ...and it was just the two of us so that helped too...ANYWYA yeah i gotta go to cultural events like choir and theatre stuff soo much often and try to get active in them myself... pfffttt, here i was thinking my response to this would be very short bc "i dont know that many other musicals" .....thank you for the ask 💗

EDIT: the one BIG Stage Musical i watched was "starlight express" as a kid, that was a LOT of fun, i gotta go to one of these again

The Verstappen Kids

Just some little things for my 'Our Long Road' AU about Max and Juliette's four lovely and beloved children. Collectively called 'The Cubs', and the Verstappen family are labelled as 'The Royal Family of F1'.

Emilian Victor Verstappen

Born in November 9th 2024 in Geneva, Switzerland to Max and Juliette Verstappen.

Older Twin brother to Estelle.

Born six days after their dad wins his fourth championship.

Grows up with a passion for football, being a PSV Eindhoven supporter like his father.

He goes into football academies as a kid, and proves to be the best of his class.

Models his football game style off of Lionel Messi and Julian Alvarez.

Also loves music, playing guitar as a way to relax.

His parents' little prince, his father's shadow as a kid, but seeks his mom out for advice and comfort.

Ends up playing for PSV Eindhoven as a forward, wearing the number 33 for his dad. A number he also wears for the Dutch National Team.

Ends up dating Alex and Lily's eldest daughter, Violet Albon.

A model student at school in Geneva, particularly excelling at History, Maths, Languages, and Geography.

Big into video games just like his dad, and games with his cousins and siblings whenever he's able.

The protector of the quartet, as the oldest by five minutes, he takes his job as a big brother very seriously.

Has a very strong bond with his twin sister, and is never far from her as a kid.

Nicknames: Emil, EV33, The Flash.

Very quickly becomes the future of Dutch football, being the talisman for both the Dutch team and PSV as their star forward.

Emilian grows into a confident and strong leader for his teams as he matures in the football world, eventually becoming captain for his club.

An attentive listener, calm and collected under pressure, and driven to succeed at all he applies himself to.

As blunt as his father in his manner of speaking, and always honest with people, but is never cruel with it.

When Emilian and Violet get together, Violet quickly becomes part of the family unit.

Will never admit it to anyone, but keeps his childhood lion plush toy on him when he moves to the Netherlands for good luck.

Estelle tries to teach him how to skate when they're kids, but Emilian never becomes any good at it, content to support her from the sidelines.

Deathly afraid of heights, and a very anxious flyer even as a young adult.

Zodiac Sign: Scorpio.

Very close with his paternal cousins and aunt Victoria as a kid, and visits them whenever he can once he moves to Eindhoven.

Keeps every jersey from each team he's been on as a collection and story of his career.

Estelle Grace Verstappen

Born in November 9th 2024 in Geneva, Switzerland to Max and Juliette Verstappen.

Younger Twin sister to Emilian.

Born six days after Max wins his fourth WDC title.

Inherits her mother's love for figure skating, falling in love with the elegance and beauty of the sport right away.

Models her skating after Kim Yuna instead of the Russian girls.

Takes to the ice at the age of five, and is a natural at figure skating.

Estelle also learns how to knit and crochet, and uses it as a way to unwind after training.

Her mother's little princess, but has her dad wrapped around her finger.

Represents the Netherlands for figure skating, but always keeps both flags in her skating bag.

A big reader, known to finish a book in a couple of days. Excels at English, History, Art, and Political Science at school.

Estelle spends most of her time riding her bike or practicing ballet when she's not skating.

Where Emilian is the protector, Estelle is the nurturer, Casper and Annika going to her when they need emotional support.

Is especially close with her twin brother, Emilian is her number one confidant in life.

Nicknames: Stella, Starlight, La Reine.

Becomes especially known for her free skate routines as a figure skater, and works hard on making her short programs just as good.

Estelle attains the moniker 'La Reine sur glace' - The queen on ice - during her career for her elegance and command on the ice, having a hypnotic quality to her skating.

She's a sweetheart, friendly to everyone, and loves to find the beauty in the world wherever she can.

Inherits her mother's intuition and ability to read people, something her siblings always take seriously.

Keeps her childhood Miffy plush toy on her at all times during skating competitions.

Meets and falls in love with Emilian's Eindhoven teammate - Javier Sanchez, one third of the team's attacking trio.

Works in a wedding dress shop to fund herself up the ranks in the skating world.

Loves going to races as a kid, but more for the sake of seeing her many uncles and aunts (and eventually cousins) than anything else, but she never misses a race when Casper is racing.

Hates giving interviews as a skater, seeing them as pointless and repetitive - just like her father.

Zodiac Sign: Scorpio.

Adopts her cousin Antonia Leclerc (Charles' daughter) as a second little sister, and loves her uncle Arthur.

Has her first ever pair of skates hanging from her bedroom door as inspiration to keep going.

Casper Dominic Verstappen

Born in August 18th 2028 in Geneva, Switzerland to Max and Juliette Verstappen.

The first singleton child of the family.

Born the year Max moves to WEC.

Is the lone one of the cubs to go into race driving. Spending two seasons in F1 driving for Red Bull before going into WEC - driving for Porsche. Using the number 66 in F1.

As a driver, Casper is most compared to his dad, uncle, and to Sebastian Vettel - one of his other mentors.

Max is overjoyed to put his second son into Karting, and Casper excels right away.

An avid cook from an early age, often cooks for the cubs when their parents are away, and helps them in the kitchen.

Incredibly close to both of his parents, and to his uncle Charles - who he closely resembles.

Unlike the twins, Casper races under a Monegasque license, to honour both his mother and uncles.

The family prankster, teaming up with his cousin Jules to prank the other grid kids and their parents.

Often butts heads with his older brother over things, but the two love each other very much.

A huge engineering nerd, with a love of all kinds of vehicle. And goes into Sim Racing just like his father.

Has a bull on his racing helmet, as well as the names of his parents and siblings.

Nicknames: Cas, Young Bull, The Dominator.

Builds up a friendly rivalry with his cousin Jules Leclerc of Ferrari in F1 and drives with Mick's eldest son Michael Jr in WEC.

Casper and Michael Jr become known as 'The Two Headed Beast' in WEC, their duo becoming a trio with Fabian Vettel a bit later on when Fabian moves to WEC himself.

Casper is thoughtful, intelligent, and is a deep thinker who always seeks practical solutions to problems.

He is the lone one of his siblings to inherit his mother's gluten allergy. He also inherits her flawless memory.

When he's not racing or in the sim, Casper can be found with his close circle on the Swiss slopes snowboarding.

Falls head over heels for Alice Piastri - Oscar and Lily's daughter who is born the year before Annika is born.

Keeps a family photo in his drivers room as a good luck charm, as inspiration for him to do well in race stints.

Casper will always ask for his siblings' results in their sports after a race is over if they're also busy.

Prefers to do daytime stints in longer races, his childhood fear of the dark never completely going away.

Zodiac Sign: Leo.

Is his uncle Daniel's favourite nephew, even if that sometimes stresses his parents out.

Casper always makes sure to text his siblings before and after a race if they can't be with him.

Annika Lillian Verstappen

Born in April 30th 2030 in Geneva, Switzerland to Max and Juliette Verstappen.

The last of the cubs to be born.

Born a few months before Max retires from driving entirely.

Falls in love with horses at a very young age, and goes into all equestrian disciplines from the age of seven.

Makes a bit of history as one of the first equestrians to refuse to use a crop.

Is the shy one of the cubs as a kid, being most comfortable around horses and her family, but Juliette helps her out of her shell over time.

Picks up her mother's love of art, carrying a sketchbook everywhere, and takes up photography.

The angel of her parents' life, and really close with her uncle Mick - her godfather.

Annika competes under the French flag - as her mother is a dual citizen of France and Monaco.

The family conscience, often mediating arguments between her siblings and cousins.

Annika idolizes her older sister, and aspires to be just like her as a kid, but Estelle encourages her to be herself.

Adds a glittering gold lion to her riding helmet to mimic her father's old racing helmets.

Her competition horse is a chestnut mare called Constance, and is her heart horse.

Nicknames: Annie, Angel, Wildflower.

Becomes quite the force of nature in the equestrian community, due to her skills without a crop and her bond with Constance.

Annika always makes sure to take care of her horses herself, and becomes the heart and soul of the French equestrian team as a competitor.

Annika is a sensitive, generous person, who tries her best to unite people for a common goal.

Takes her dry and sarcastic sense of humour from her dad, and doesn't suffer fools willingly either.

Annika develops a crush on her brother's WEC teammate and best friend at around fourteen, and they get together three years later.

Her relationship with Mikey causes quite the stir on social media, but she doesn't care.

Wears a tulip ascot pin in her riding uniform for competitions, keeping her father close even if she's representing France.

Tries her best to get Casper, Mikey, and Fabian into horses as well as cars, but the trio prefer something more predictable than horses.

Annika loves nothing more than being outdoors, and can blow entire days outside with her siblings or her horse.

Zodiac Sign: Taurus.

Quickly becomes best friends with Alice Piastri as a kid, bonding over their shared love of horses.

Has her riding helmets on display in her apartment when she gets her own place.

The Cubs Together

The cubs never feel quite complete without each other, calling themselves 'four quarters of a whole' as they grow up.

Emilian is the leader, Estelle is the brains, Casper is the energy, and Annika is the heart.

The cubs have their arguments, all siblings with such contrasting personalities and passions do, but they always make up afterwards, and are left stronger for it.

They instate a pact with each other to attend each other's sporting events whenever they're able to.

Max and Juliette raise them to support each other in everything, and to be there for emotional support.

They share everything with each other, having no secrets, following their parents' example.

As professional athletes, they always shout each other out, creating a fandom for themselves as their parents, uncles, and aunts did.

They're all deeply protective over each other, but the significant others do become family really quickly.

They grow up calling Seb, Kimi, and Fernando their 'grandpas' as Juliette lost her father in her teens, and Max doesn't let his father near them for a long time.

The cubs become an example to follow for all of the grid kids to come.

The media labels them as 'The Princes and Princesses of The Paddock'. However, they prefer 'The Cubs' - even into adulthood.

They all become heavily involved in growing their individual sports.

Max and Juliette are incredibly proud of all of them, and love them unconditionally. The family being very tight knit.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yeah, that's about all I can think of for the Verstappen Cubs. I can already kinda feel how much personality they all have unto themselves and together. I want them to be kind of a perfect mixture of their parents in a lot of ways. I'd imagine the entire grid family would be deeply proud of the people the cubs grow into.

This was fun to work on the last couple of days, and I'm glad this got done before I lost energy on it!

Tattered Puppets AU

The Welcome Home puppets were ripped to shreds and left to rot in the recording studio! And my OC Adrian who made his career in fixing up toys to resell buys the studio to expand his business and finds them. Wally sees the opportunity to save his friends and himself decides to convince the man by any means necessary.

Some horror elements, angst with a happy ending, and Wally/Male OC if you squint

You can read it here or find it on Ao3 here

He’d lost track of how long he’d been here. All this time in the dark had made time lose all meaning.

It was quiet. So so quiet. He couldn’t even hear their crying anymore.

All there was to fill the silence was the ever-swirling ringing of static echoing in his ears.

“Hello?” His voice echoes so quietly that he can barely hear it himself. “Helloooo?”

Tears drip from his cheeks when there is no reply.

“Beautiful dreamers, wake unto me… Starlight and dewdrops are waiting for thee..”  If they’re all still sleeping, then he’ll sing them a lullaby to lure them to a pleasant dream. And when they wake, they can all laugh and play and sing together again.

Until then, he’ll watch over them. Just like he always has.

—-------------------------------

Today was going to be a great day! Adrian grinned as he clutched the last of the paperwork he needed to submit to get the keys to his new studio. Sure the place had been abandoned since the seventies and was supposedly haunted. But who cared about that when it came at a quarter of the price of anywhere else in a hundred miles!

“Are you sure you want to buy this place without even looking at it first?” His leasing agent Rachelle asked when he slid the paperwork across her desk and took a seat.

“I mean I saw the pictures you provided.” He shrugged casually and sat back. “And you were the one to refuse to take me to see it in person.”

“And I still refuse to step back in that place after the last guy I sent to survey the place turned in his camera and quit that day.” She says as she levels him with a wary look. “The last people I leased the building to also returned their keys in the first 24 hours. Shoot! This place hasn’t had a tenant last longer than 3 days before abandoning it again in the past 50 years! I just don’t want to deal with having to fill out more paperwork and save you from making a poor financial decision in the process.”

Adrian shrugs, completely unaffected. “I hear you, but I’m gonna do it anyways. I need a place big enough to house all my sewing supplies and still have room to work. And my tiny little apartment isn’t cutting it anymore! Plus I've been wanting to expand my business into a real location for a long time now.” He laughs and shrugs dramatically. “This place has triple the space I need for way less than the price of anywhere else! Which will mean more money in my pocket for my growing business! Maybe even enough to hire someone else to help out!”

“If you can find anyone as crazy as you.” She mutters under her breath and sighs as she looks through the paperwork. “Well, everything appears to be in order and the deposit you submitted last week did clear. So here are the keys to your new studio, Mr. Summerset.” She says and stands to shake his hands as he takes the keys. “Just don’t make me regret this.”

“Oh come on!” He laughs standing as he takes her hand. “Even if the place is haunted, I’m sure I can handle some wannabe Casper.”

“I hope you’re right,” She sighs as she flops back into her chair and reaches into her cabinet to pull out a flask. “For both our sakes.”

Adrian smiles brightly as he pulls up to his new studio. He was practically vibrating with excitement. He was finally onto the next step of his dream of turning his little hobby of fixing up toys into a real business! Sure the place looked more than a little shabby all boarded up like this. And who knows what the inside looks like through 50 years of neglect? But as long as there’s no angry drug addict living in here, he should be fine!

Just in case he does a quick walk around the building to look for any signs of a break-in. Surprisingly, there are no signs of forced entry which was a great sign of there being no crazy hobos! Hiking back to his car, he pulls out his prybar from the trunk he bought for just this special occasion.

Time to take down those boards and bring in the light! It would probably be another 72 hours for the electric company to turn back on the power for this place. And he did NOT have the extra dough for a generator to last him in the meantime. So he will do all the things he could do without electricity in this place in the meantime! And the first step to that was to onboard these windows. He cracked the crowbar into the gap between rotted plywood and the wall and pulled. With a sickening SHUNK, the board easily pulled away from the window like wet paper and fell to the ground.

“One down!” Adrian huffed as he haughtily swung his crowbar onto his shoulder and walked to the next window. “Nine to go! Easy peasy, lemon squeezy!” He laughs as he repeats the process. “At this rate, I’ll have plenty of time to start on the inside before lunch!”

—---------------------------

Light. There was actual light streaming through the windows.

When was the last time he had seen the sun? He’d forgotten how warm it felt.

His brief moment of happiness was shattered at the realization of what this could mean.

Someone was coming.

—--------------------------------

The lock gave quite a fight from years of disuse. But eventually, the redheaded man was able to finally get it to relent and let him into the building. “Honey I’m home!” He couldn’t help but call into the empty building with a laugh.

The windows were so dusty he couldn’t get a good look inside while he was pulling off the plywood from the windows. But he was happy to see that, although very dusty and dirty, the entrance to the place was pretty usable. The floors and ceiling were intact and all the light fixtures still hung from their proper places. There was even a desk and chair still in here that looked to still be pretty sturdy! Bonus work surface!

He walked up to the desk to get a closer look. It still very much looked to be from the 70s, but it could still be of use for his purposes! There were still papers in it that would need to be cleaned out though. “Guess this place used to be a recording studio for a knock-off Sesame Street.” Adrian hummed as he looked at the desk calendar that listed off a recording schedule and various meetings. There was even a magazine ad for toys for the show and a copy of a kids' book of the characters

“Wonder if the place is haunted by the vengeful spirit of Elmo for straying on his turf!” He laughs and puts the book back on the table.

He walks into the studio proper and is greeted by a sight that sucks the previous levity out of him. It looked like someone had filmed a snuff film for puppets in here. Pieces of the smiling, child-friendly characters were scattered all over the place. On the stage proper was what he guessed was the main character of the show. Wacky? Wally? Something with a W! The roughly 3-foot-tall puppet was pinned to the giant red house by its hand almost like an Elvis puppet Jesus with his chest cut open. All of it was enough to give Hannibal Lecter some ideas.

“I guess the place was broken into after all.” He sighed and shook his head sadly as he carefully picked his way through the carnage. “Just by some sickos with nothing better to do than rip apart dolls instead of loot the place.” He carefully picks the head up of a blue dog puppet to inspect the damage a little closer. “None of you deserved that.”

He froze when something fuzzy brushed past his leg. Oh god, he hopes this place isn’t infested with rats. He looks to the ground and shrieks and he drops the plush head. A pink puppet arm was grabbing his leg. Not just draped on his leg. Actively gripping it as he flailed it around.

“What the fuck!” He shouts as he finally shakes it loose and flings it across the room.

“...-lp” A voice whispers so quietly he almost doesn’t hear it. In Adrian’s defense, he was much more preoccupied with the various other puppet limbs that seem to have also come to life and begun crawling towards him.

“Help.” He hears more clearly as he climbs the stage to get away from the puppets’ grasp. He turns to the sound only to come face to face with the pinned puppet. It’s looking at him now with black goo dripping from its eyes that look like tears. “Please… Help us.”

Adrian curls up tightly into a ball unable to cope with the horrifying sight. He feels his breathing quicken as he hears the limbs of the other puppets slap into the lip of the stage as they pull themselves up to continue their chase after him. He blacks out as soon as he feels another felt arm crawl its way up his back.

—------------------------------------

Wally watches as the redhead in front of him collapses from a panic attack. This human was stranger than the others who had come in the past. He was the first to show any kind of compassion towards his friends’ sorry state.

“Friends… please.” He coughs trying to speak louder than a whisper. “G-give him some space. We don’t want to scare off a new neighbor do we?”

He glanced at the crowbar that had fallen from the man’s grip. Even when he was clearly terrified of them, he hadn’t used it as a weapon against his friends. Maybe this one would actually listen and help them.

Time would tell in the end. If his guess was wrong, he would get rid of him the way he did the others.

—-----------------------------------

Adrian awoke with a loud gasp for air as he sprang bolt upright. Based on the dim lighting in here it was now closer to sundown than noon. He looked around himself and it seemed the puppet limbs had gone back to their original positions. Did he get heat stroke and imagine all that?

“Oh good. You’re awake.” A gravelly voice says, making him freeze and stare up at the puppet still pinned to the house prop. It was looking at him with a stare that made him feel like he was the one pinned in place. “You're not going to scream again, are you?”

“Please,” Adrian begs as he scrambled backward away from the strung-up puppet. “I-I don’t mean any harm! I’m just a starving artist in need of a place to work! You know artists, right??? I’m really just skin and bones so please don't eat me!”

“Ha ha ha ha!” The laugh was so distorted it felt like nails on a chalkboard. It immediately shut the ginger man up from his mad ravings to just stare wide-eyed at the puppet. “Now why would we eat you? You humans come up with the craziest of ideas. What’s your name, friend?”

“I-it’s Adrian.” He stutters out not wanting to aggravate the demonic puppet. They may not want to eat him but that doesn’t mean they don’t want to hurt him. “I’ll do whatever you want! Just please let me go!”

Wally stared at the man in front of him for a long moment. His crowbar was still in his hands but he still didn’t use it in favor of just begging for his life. Maybe he could get this human to do what he wanted after all. He smiled to himself, the first genuine one he’d had in a long time. “Well, how can I deny a friend such a polite request? It’s a pleasure to meet you, Adrian. My name is Wally. And there actually is something you can do for me.”

Adrian nodded his head rapidly in agreement. He just needed this thing to let him go and then he could be free of this place! Sure he just lost a massive security deposit from leasing this place. But at least he’d still be alive!

Adrian gulped and flinched as a grey arm inched its way to him. “A-and how can I do that?”

“My friends and I have just gone to pieces.” Wally laughs humorlessly at him. “In exchange for your freedom, I want you to put us back together again.”

Adrian nervously looks at all the pieces of puppet scattered around the room. He was still terrified. Who wouldn’t be when face to face with real, living puppets? But, he remembered how sad it made him to see them in this state in the first place. And maybe if he fixed them up, they’d keep to their word of not killing him.

“I don’t really have anything on me to do that right now.” He started carefully as he stood back up on shaky legs. “And this place won’t have any power for a few days even if I brought my sewing machine with me.”

“Then take me with you,” Wally says evenly as he stared the human down. One last scare should have the man crumbling to his whims. “Show me you’re worthy of fixing them and once they’re all fixed we’ll let you go and you’ll never hear from us again. Or I could simply…” He reached into that blackness within his soul that terrified him and summoned it to the forefront. The world around them went dark around the two of them like a shrinking spotlight and the ground began to rumble violently under their feet.

“Ok! Ok! I’ll take you with me!! Just stop! Please!” Adrian shrieked as he inched closer and closer to the puppet to try and stay in the light. He clutched the crowbar in his hand tight to his chest more like a security blanket than a weapon.

The world immediately returned to the original brightness and Wally smiled brightly at him that would actually be kind of cute if he hadn’t been so terrifying 2 seconds earlier. “Perfect!”

Adrian carefully examined the nails holding the puppet in place. They looked like whoever had done this had used a nail gun to pin him. They were almost buried in the felt. “Is it going to hurt you to take these out?” He couldn’t help but ask curiously.

“I’m just a simple puppet made of felt and fluff. How could you possibly hurt me?” He says solemnly and for the first time breaks eye contact with the human to look at the floor. It was easier to bear the pain if he didn’t see it happen.

The man couldn’t help the sad ping that tore through his heart at that response. Even though the puppet could clearly end him in an instant, it still took a shocking amount of trust to allow him this close.

“Well… I would say you’re more than just a simple puppet.” He laughs nervously and looks away when the puppet’s gaze snaps back to him. “S-so it makes sense to ask, y’know?”

“They need to be taken out whether they’ll hurt or not,” Wally said instead of answering the human’s earnest question. “So just make it quick.” The redhead nodded in understanding and, as carefully as he could, slid the crowbar behind the puppet’s hand and pulled.

The hand pulled free easily and fell limply to Wally’s side. The puppet slowly held his hand in front of his face and flexed his fingers. He couldn’t even remember what it was like to be able to freely use his hand like this. It barely registered to him as the other hand quickly followed suit. Without his arms being forcibly held up, he couldn’t help but sink to his knees.

Adrian stood there helplessly as he watched the puppet sitting on the floor just staring at his own hands. He didn’t know what to say or do in a situation that was so clearly emotionally monumental for the tiny being. After a minute passed he couldn't help but utter “Uhhh…. you okay?” Nailed it.

Wally’s head snapped to the human after being reminded of his presence. Right. He needed to be a scary “demonic” monster to get the human to do what he needed him to. “You’d have a hard time standing too if you were nailed to a wall for.. glory knows how long.”

Adrian flinches at the sudden stare, but he has to continue if he wants to be out of there before dark. Judging by the fading light, it was sundown now and they’d be lucky to have another half an hour of daylight. “So how do you want me to do this? I don’t know if we have the time to gather all your… friends.”

It would probably take at least an hour to collect all the little parts and pieces of the shredded puppets and probably multiple trips in his tiny sedan to transport it all. And secretly, he didn’t want those puppet parts crawling all over him in his car.

Wally looks desperately around at his friends’ scattered parts. He didn’t want to leave them here. They had suffered so much for so long. How could he possibly leave them? But if he let the human go without him, he would never return. Nobody ever returned. He closed his eyes tightly and sighed. “Take me tonight, and we can return for the rest of them tomorrow.” He said finally turning back to the man.

“...Did-Did you need me to carry you?” He asked nervously not wanting to upset the puppet. When all the puppet did was stare, he backtracked. “I mean- Not that I’m not saying you’re weak or anything! You just- You said that you had a hard time standing! So I c-could help you!”

Wally laughed at the nervous man in front of him. He couldn’t help but find it funny how skittish the human was. “Yes. You can carry me.”

He hesitated for a second on grabbing the little yellow puppet. But he carefully scooped him up and gripped him similar to how you hold a sleepy toddler with the puppet's head propped up on his shoulder. “Alright, let’s head out.”

As the two walked towards the entrance of the building, Wally waved at his friends. “We’ll be back tomorrow, friends. Please… wait for me until then.”

—--------------------------

The car ride back was awkward as hell. Wally spent most of the drive staring out the window. Adrian couldn’t help but wonder if this was his first time seeing the outside world. All signs pointed to that being the case. He had no idea what to say in these situations.

Eventually, he made it back to his apartment complex and carried him up the stairs the same way he had back at the studio. He fumbled one-handedly with the keys and opened the door to his shitty one-bedroom flat.

“Welcome the Chez Adrien’s!” He couldn’t help but laugh awkwardly as he flipped on the light switch.

The place was just as messy as he’d left it with pieces of yarn, fabric, and thread all over the place. He placed Wally down on the ratty couch he’d gotten from a nearby thrift store and turned to walk into the kitchen.

“Before I do anything else, I need to eat! I haven’t had anything since breakfast this morning and man am I starving!” He was rambling and he knew it. It was just too awkward not to fill the silence! “Did you want anything?” He asked as he dug out some Chinese takeout from the fridge and popped it in the microwave.

“I’m a puppet.” Wally’s laughed incredulously. This human just kept throwing his expectations in terms of how he’d react to his presence. Sure the man was scared, but even then he showed a surprising amount of care and consideration despite that.

“Oh. Right. Yeah, that makes sense.” Adrian laughs nervously from his spot in the kitchen.

Wally takes the time to look around the cramped apartment. There’s a ton of fabric lying around all over the place. There's a table in the corner that he can see houses a sewing machine. So he wasn’t lying about saying he needed power for the machine.

Glancing back to the kitchen and seeing the human’s back was turned towards the microwave. Carefully, so as not to gain the redhead’s attention, he slid from the couch and walked over to the table to see what was on it. His eyes widened seeing the hollowed-out husk of a large stuffed brown dog.

“Huh? Where’d you go?” Adrian’s voice called making the puppet jump. He placed his plate on the coffee table and walked over to him. “It didn’t take you to start exploring, huh?”

“What is this?” Wally’s voice was eerily calm as he pointed at the seemingly mutilated stuffed toy.

The redhead followed his hand and blinked in confusion before a realization dawned on him. “Wha- Oh! Oooooh! It’s not what it looks like I swear!” He waves his hands in front of him as if to dispel the bad energy pouring off the puppet. “Th-this is actually my business I bought the studio for!” The energy starts to darken around the room as the lights flicker. “Let me explain! Let me explain!!”

“It better be good, Human.” The puppet says darkly.

“I’m fixing him!” He says panicked as he picks up the deflated brown dog toy. “This is Darby! His owner has had him for decades and her partner paid me to fix him up for her birthday!” The dark energy releases a little as the lights finally stop flickering. “So while yes, I did have to take him apart to be able to patch his missing sections of fur and completely resew him a new nose and replace one of his eyes-” He glanced over at where the puppet was staring at him he coughed. “All that is to say, I had to take him apart a little to make him better again. I was going to restuff him and sew him back together tonight if I hadn’t gotten…” He trailed off before he could finish that sentence. Best not to antagonize the pissed-off puppet any further.

Wally couldn’t help but blink in shock at the man. “You are by far the strangest man I have ever met.” He couldn’t help but laugh incredulously.

He blushes and clutches the doll to his chest. “It’s a legitimate business! I started with just fixing up dolls and toys I got for cheap in thrift stores and reselling them. After a while, a friend suggested I record myself doing it and suddenly it skyrocketed and I was flooded with requests for different restorations.” He looks down at the doll in his hands with a sappy smile. “It’s actually really nice to give these toys a new lease on life to bring joy to more people.”

If puppets could blush, Wally would have been bright red. This man was just adorable in the earnest joy of his craft. He almost felt bad for scaring the man into this. Maybe he could have just asked him to help them earnestly instead of using intimidation and it would still have ended with the same results. He shook his head to clear that thought. Humans couldn’t be trusted to always put their best foot forward. He and his friends are proof of that.

“Then it should be no issue to fix me and my friends quickly then.” He says instead of responding to the man’s adorable ramblings.

“It really shouldn’t!” He placates rapidly and places the toy back on the table. “Speaking of… Let me finish eating and then I can start sewing you back up.” He points back to the couch where his leftovers were rapidly cooling on the coffee table. Wally nods and the two sit back on the couch, though the puppet himself needed a hand to help him up.

The room was completely silent save for the sound of Adrian eating his two-day-old lo mein. This is more awkward than the car ride! He mourned silently as he took another bite. The puppet was just sitting there watching him eat! Usually, he’d put on the TV while he ate. But his mother taught him that it was rude to do that with guests.

“S o! ” He coughs when his voice cracks and blushes in embarrassment. “T-tell me about your friends.”

Wally just tilts his head and stares at him for a long moment. It was just fun watching this human squirm. “What do you want to know about?” He finally asks instead.

“Anything, honestly.” He scratches the back of his head nervously. “The only thing I really know is that you and your friends were part of some kind of TV show… I think.”

It stung worse than he thought that all of his and his friends’ hard work was so easily forgotten by the public. “... Well there’s Barnaby. He’s the head you picked up. He was also my best friend. He loved to tell jokes and gave the best hugs. And then there’s Julie. She was as bright as a rainbow and would do anything to put a smile on your face. It’s why she was never far behind Frank who was always a sourpuss. About the only thing that could put him in a good mood is his butterflies or getting a visit from Eddie. Eddie was our mailman but he was also our good friend. He’d always teach us a new craft or skill he learned on his journeys. You could always rely on him to be a good shoulder to lean on. He was just like Poppy in that sense. She was a lot like how I imagined a mom would be. Always there to help if you had a problem or were just in need of a treat! Though she was also a huge scaredy cat. One time Sally put on a performance of Chicken Little that had her cowering in the dressing room all day because she thought the sky was going to fall on her. Sally was always looking for new stories to perform for us. And of course, there’s Howdy! He always had what you would need both in the show and out! He was also just as funny as Barnaby when it came to telling jokes. We were all such good friends through it all.”

Adrian nervously gulped down the last bite of his food. Sure he was doing all this to fix his friends. But he talked as if they were dead. And what caused them to end up in the state that he’d found them in in the first place?  But something told me nothing good would come of asking that.  Instead, he said, "They sound like a lot of fun... You really care about them, don't you?"

“We’ve been through everything together. I’d do anything to make sure they’re safe.” The puppet said solemnly and turned his gaze towards the sewing machine table.

The redhead followed his gaze to the table then back at the sad puppet again. Well, he wasn’t gonna be rid of this nightmare unless he fulfilled his end of the bargain. He stood, empty plate forgotten, and rolled his shoulders. “Ready?” He asked with his hand outstretched for the puppet.

Wally looked back and forth between the man’s face and his offered hand. Now that the time had come to be fixed, he was nervous. If this human wanted to, he could destroy him the way the others had destroyed his friends. Even if he used his parlor trick on the man, he would still be stuck in this place without any way of getting back to his friends. Could he really go through with trusting him?

“Listen,” Adrian started and nervously rubbed the back of his neck. “I can’t begin to imagine what you’ve been through. But I’m sure it makes it hard to trust others. For what it’s worth: I can at least promise you that I’ll do my best not to intentionally hurt you.”

Wally stared at the man for another long moment looking for any reason to distrust the man. But he didn’t see a hint of malice in him. So hesitantly, he reached out and grabbed the offered hand with a smile. “I’ll hold you to that, neighbor.”

—---------------------------------------

6 Months Later:

“Hiya everyone! I know it’s been a while since I last updated but that’s because I have some exciting news I’m finally ready to share!” Adrian says cheerfully to the camera and waves for the camera person to follow him inside a brightly painted building.

“As many of you know I was approved for a business loan and would move forward with making Stitched Together a real place you could visit.” He excitedly bounces as he opens the doors wide open. “It hasn’t been easy, but I was able to find help in some new friends that really helped speed up the process!”

The portion of the studio that was once the dilapidated front desk had been converted into a cheery shop that any kid would dream of. The shelves were lined with toys and art kits. “This is our store where you can come and shop my stock of custom-made toys in person! We’ll also sell crafting supplies and craft kits. There’s also a rotating stock of limited edition plushes that you can only find here!” He says with a bright grin and takes a plush Barnaby doll off the shelf to wave at the camera.

He walks further in and turns to a counter off the side with a sign hanging overhead reading Hospital . “As the sign says, this is where you can come to drop off your plush friend for repairs!”

He rings the bell and Poppy walks out with a nervous smile on her beak. “We-Welcome to the Doll Hospital!” She nervously stammers out.

“This is Poppy!” Adrian smiles and dramatically waves his arm to present her. “She will be here to help you fill out the intake form and ensure your friend gets the best of care!” He fake-whispers to the camera, “She’s a little shy so please be nice!”

Poppy’s feathers ruffle in embarrassment. “You didn’t have to tell everyone that!”

“Sorry!” The redhead giggles and waves to Poppy as he walks to the adjacent counter where Howdy was wiping down the counter. “When you’re ready to check out, Howdy is your guy!”

Howdy waves and smiles. “I’m always here to help! And don’t be afraid to ask me any questions.”

Adrian’s face goes serious as he nods along. “He honestly knows more about what’s in stock than I do. Howdy! How many pottery kits do we have in stock?”

“We have 10 out on the floor and 20 in the storage in the back.” The large caterpillar states without batting an eye.

“See? Man’s a genius.” Adrian says proudly while the puppet rubs the back of his neck in embarrassment from the praise. He then turns and walks to the area off from the counter where they had set up several tables. Eddie, Frank, and Jullie were sat at one of those tables working on making friendship bracelets.

“This is our crafts area where you can work if you just can’t wait to get home to try out our craft kits.” Adrian introduces and goes to sit at the table with the puppets. “We’ll also have craft classes for people of all ages hosted by our teachers: Eddie, Frank, and Julie!” He points to each of them by name and they wave to the camera.

“I’m just soooo excited to meet you!” Julie smiles at the camera and waves excitedly. In doing so she sends the bracelet Frank had been tying to her wrist flying. “Ooops! Sorry, Frank!”

Frank huffs grumpily and walks to sweep up the beads. “Guess I’ll have to make the next one Julie-proof.”

“I think I could help you with that!” Eddie chimes in and starts to cut some long pieces of embroidery floss.

“You guys are meanies.” Julie pouts in a way that is still utterly adorable.

“We’ll leave them to it!” Adrian laughs and stands to walk through the double doors leading to the back.

The studio had another wall put in separating the studio from the very back of the warehouse. All that remained was the stage where they had set up some chairs for performances. Sally and Barnaby were on the stage chatting, likely about what to perform next.

“This place used to be a studio and we decided it would be a shame to throw out the stage. So instead we will host shows and dramatic story time for kids! Entry to shows will be free with any purchase in the store!”

“Our opening day performance will be a retelling of the age-old classic: Stone Soup!” Sally says brightly with a show of jazz hands.

“It’s going to rock .” Barnaby laughs as Sally groans in dismay at the pun. “Hey! Don’t take my rock puns for granite ! A good performer should keep their coal . Of quartz, you should already know that.”

“Stopstopstopstop.” Sally giggles helplessly behind her hands.

Adrian and the camera guy are laughing outright from all the puns. “As you can see, it’s going to be a rocking good time.” He laughs as Sally groans even louder.

The video cuts to everyone on the stage waving at the camera. Adrian glanced down to Wally where their hands were clasped. He was looking the happiest he'd ever seen him. It had been a long journey with a fair share of arguments and compromises, but they'd finally done it. He glances back at the camera to begin his closing remarks. “Our grand opening is this weekend and we hope you enjoyed the tour. If you live in downtown LA and hope to join us, you will find our store hours posted on our website! We hope to see you soon and thanks for watching!"

Welcome to my account ^^

This post has been updated as of 5/31/2024, 9:33AM

Who am I?

My name is Casper, my birthday is July 24. I use they/them pronouns and I'm nonbinary biromantic and asexual. I love animals and I have a cat, her name is Midnight and I love her more than life itself. I like to read a little, my favorite book series is Warriors by Erin Hunter. I'm a writer and an artist, I'm currently writing three books and working on a small art print business called "Starlight Studio" where I make and sell galaxy themed art prints, with a frame included in each order and I'm writing two scripts for an object show created by me and my little sister and an animated series called "Call of The Stray" as well as a webcomic called Sunny Skies and Coral Depths. I like cooking and baking. I also like to to roleplay and create characters with fully detailed stories that I spend months to years on, one of which is my oc Kiry, you'll see a lot of her. I am also a beginner witch learning about paganism so you'll see a few things related to paganism and witchcraft.

Why am I here?

I'm here to get advice to help make my art style better and learn to draw more than just animals and furry ocs, as some of my ocs are humans or have human characteristics. I tried getting people on TikTok to help, but all I get is "your art is awful/bad" with literally nothing else and whenever I try to get them to elaborate, they never respond, so I'm here to try out anything people tell me to do as long as no one is telling me to stop drawing like a few people have done bc apparently wholesome furry art is "weird" so I'm gonna see if people here are more helpful. I'm also gonna try building up my small business and hype up my books and my shows.

Do I have other social media?

Yes, I've got TikTok and Discord

My TikTok is huskycatqueen or Casper The Huskycat

And here are links to my servers

What do I hope for being here?

I hope to better my art style, learn to animate, and help other artists trying to better their art style if they want it

DNI(do not interact) if you

Are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, ableist, under the age of 13(as some of my stuff will have some blood, gore, and other topics not meant for anyone under 13), a lollicon/shotacon, a pro/comshipper, an animal abuser, xenophobic

Use religion as an excuse to hate people for no reason
