Jellydots Headcanons
we’re starting things off with jellydots because I don’t think I’ve made a proper post about them before? Which is a crime against humanity tbh so have a list of some headcanons about the cat wives.
🌻Before Jenny has to head off to her humans, she likes to leave Jellylorum a note around their den. Normally on a cushion or relatively easy to spot place. The notes are usually short and to the point, but always very sweet: "I may not see you everyday, but I love you everyday."
Jellylorum has kept every single note she's received from Jenny; she keeps them in an old needle box and on occasion, she'll re-read them. Particularly when Jenny's away for longer or sometimes with Jenny by her side. Her favorite one is the one Jenny made for her after a sleepover when they were kits. She drew a funny picture that was supposed to be the both of them but ended up looking scribblier than she liked.
🌻 Jelly *loves* spoiling Jenny whenever she can; she's a naturally crafty cat and tends to make little trinkets and decorations for Jenny when she finds the time to. They're usually knitted, but other times she likes to incorporate buttons and beads to make gifts. They usually ranged from collars made of beads to small knitted costumes for her very best mice.
🌻 Jenny finds comfort in resting her head on Jelly’s lap; it was a habit formed during their younger years. In those days, she would drift off effortlessly (typically on Jellylorum's back), and old habits would die hard. Jenny remains a deep and swift sleeper, a trait Jelly has grown accustomed to and doesn't mind one bit.
🌻 Jelly can’t hold a grudge for her life, so Jenny does for her, but only Grizabella gets to experience that. They were both hurt by her leaving, but it affected them very differently. Jenny grew resentful, and Jellylorum became more disappointed over time. It was a small point of tension between them, a topic they'd carefully avoided for the longest time. When they would address it, it was never to argue but more to mourn a longtime friend. They promised to never put each other through the same turmoil; after all, you only have so few lifelong friends. Jenny doesn't think Jelly would do anything of the sort and leave, but Jelly does worry sometimes that Jenny's visits to the junkyard will become more occasional with time.
🌻They've done the same Halloween costume for a couple of years now, not because they're uncreative but because the holiday genuinely slips their minds until it's a few days away. But they like to go as each other; Jelly puts on the Gumbie coat and Jenny wears the Griddlebone costume, and they have a laugh about it.
🌻Jenny and Jelly do like taking strolls outside the junkyard; normally, they'd go to the park if they wanted a quieter space to relax and have a chat. Other times, they'll sit in the town's library; it's not very busy, and they go relatively unnoticed by the head librarian, or else she'd pet them and let them be, which was always a treat for the both of them.
🌻 When they were young, they would constantly talk about having a den together, where it would be (though Jelly would always insist she'd want to be close to her father's den), how they'd decorate it, and just how happy they'd be if they could have sleepovers all the time. Ironically enough, the possibility of them having mates they'd move in with never came up in these discussions. They'd always intend to live together regardless, which they didn't notice as a clear sign until they were already mates.
🌻 Jelly does admire how Jenny communicates with other species; it fascinates her deeply how far she's come with that. She remembers when they were so small, and Jenny would insist she could understand the mice. Jelly gave her the benefit of the doubt, while most of the others would dismiss it immediately. But one thing about Jenny's was that she was determined, and Jellylorum was shocked but pleasantly surprised when Jenny seemed to have properly trained the pesky mice in her humans' kitchen. Jenny would sometimes get the mice to deliver things to Jellylorum for her. <3
🌻 They can’t keep secrets from each other to save their lives; everything Jenny knows, Jelly knows, and vice versa. Jelly tries whenever the kittens or adults open up to her, but when the subject is particularly heavy, Jellylorum really can't help herself. She will wait it out; however, she's in no rush to spill.
🌻 Jelly is very ticklish, particularly around her chin and neck (like most domestic cats), but only Jenny knows about that. She does like to lightly brush against those areas with her tail just so she can hear Jellylorum chuckle. She'd normally shake her head right after, followed by an "Oh you" comment.
🌻 Jennyanydots takes great joy in complimenting Jellylorum, especially observing her reactions. She frequently expresses how pretty and beautiful Jellylorum is, delighting in the way Jellylorum smiles and raises her eyebrows in response. Occasionally, when Jellylorum appears genuinely surprised, she'll inquire further about the compliment, seeking reassurance, to which Jennyanydots consistently reaffirms Jellylorum's beauty without hesitation.

Thanks to THIS beautiful beautiful fanart by @transdemon , I was actually inspired to write a story for the first time in well over a year. 💕
Just a little Doofenshmirtz family fluff to rot your teeth today.
Word Count: about 1000

A flash of lightning illuminated the curtain on the window just enough to catch Heinz's eye.
He always enjoyed thunderstorms, they were broody and foreboding, just like he pretended to be.
He snuggled deeper into his pillows as Charlene rolled over beside him, pulling the heavy quilt with her. He hadn't shared a sleeping space with many people in his life, but she was certainly the biggest bed hog of them all.
He listened to his wife's even breathing as thunder continued to roll outside. It sounded like it was coming closer. It had been awhile since they'd had a good storm.
Just as he felt himself begin to drift off, a loud crack of thunder jolted him awake. He felt Charlene jump as well.
Okay, that one got him.
It was only a second later before a new sound joined the cacophony of thunder, Charlene's snores, and his own pounding heart.
A high-pitched whining sound from the next room. Vanessa.
Oh, his sweet baby. She'd never taken well to storms.
Charlene shifted, her face still half buried in the pillow. "I thought that might happen."
"I'll get her," Heinz said, already pulling himself from bed, swinging his legs over the edge. "Go back to sleep."
"Just bring her in here," Charlene said, rubbing her eyes. "She won't go back to sleep if it keeps up like-"
Another loud crack of thunder, and another shrill screech from Vanessa.
"-like that."
Heinz nodded, and made his way to Vanessa's nursery.
What greeted him was the sorriest, most pitiful little face he'd ever seen. Big, wet, blue eyes stared at him over the bars of the crib, footie-pajama clad feet stamping in time with her screams.
"Shh, Vanessa, it's okay, it's okay!" Heinz cooed, as he lifted the girl into his arms. "It's just the rain."
Vanessa didn't look convinced, her little face screwed up in a deep frown as she kept up her screaming, causing Heinz's ears to ring. For someone so tiny, she certainly had a decent set of lungs on her.
He stood in the middle of her room, holding her tight against his chest while he rocked in place, murmuring soft and comforting things he wasn't sure she even understood.
Nevertheless, it seemed to help, and Vanessa eventually quieted down. She smushed her face into his shoulder, tears and snot moistening his shirt.
With a wince, Heinz grabbed a tissue and wiped her nose. "That's my girl."
"Mumma."
Vanessa had only just begun using actual words, and to Charlene's amusement, "Mumma" had been the first (and so far favorite) one.
"Yes, yes, let's go find Mommy," Heinz hiked the baby higher on his hip, and together they found their way back to his bedroom.
"Mumma!" Vanessa's face brightened as she caught sight of Charlene, who was now sitting up in bed, back against the headboard.
"Hi you," Charlene reached out, and Heinz placed Vanessa on the bed, who clamored over to her mother. "You're supposed to be sleeping."
As if to prove her point, Vanessa let out a wide yawn.
Charlene chuckled, as she pulled the girl against herself, Vanessa nuzzling her face into her mother's cozy pajama top.
A flash of lightning lit up the room, giving Heinz just enough time to register what would come next: a crash of thunder loud enough to cause the cat to yelp and scurry under the bed, nearly knocking him over in the process.
Vanessa screamed, tears welling up in her eyes. "Mumma!?"
"Shh," Charlene rubbed her back with one hand, as she reached into her bedside drawer and retrieved a pacifier with the other.
Heinz chuckled under his breath. He swore she kept those within reach no matter where in the house you happened to be standing.
Vanessa accepted it gratefully, as she tugged on her mother's necklace, rubbing the pearls between her fingers. It was a habit she tended to do when in need of additional comfort.
(Considering she rarely slept in her jewelry, Heinz had a feeling Charlene had put it on just now, anticipating Vanessa's need for it.)
After awhile, Charlene began to wriggle uncomfortably where she sat, letting out a grunt as she shifted against the wooden headboard.
Heinz took that as his cue to crawl into bed beside her, opening his arms.
Charlene accepted the offer, snuggling into his lap, while Vanessa laid comfortably across her chest.
"You know we joke how it never rains in Danville," Heinz said. "But now I'm sort of glad it doesn't, poor thing would never get any rest."
Charlene hummed, and pressed a kiss into Vanessa's hair. "She'll be alright, she'll grow out of it."
Vanessa sniffled.
"... Eventually."
Vanessa was quieter now, her sobs settling into soft whines, but her eyes were still wide and bright.
Heinz reached around and patted her back, tracing the sheep patterns on her sleeper.
"We got you, honey," Heinz murmured. He pulled a blanket around the three of them, shielding Vanessa's view from the lightning flashes just outside the window.
They stayed like that for what felt like ages. Heinz was starting to get a cramp in his leg from the awkward position, but he didn't dare move. As long as his girls were comfortable, that was what he cared about.
Finally, the storm started to move away from them, each roll of thunder softer than the last.
Vanessa's eyelids were looking very heavy, and each blink seemed to require significant effort. She was so cute.
"Go to sleep, sweetie," Heinz muttered, pulling the blanket a little tighter around them.
"Mumma," Vanessa muttered.
"Yes, Mommy too."
As if on cue, he felt Charlene go completely lax against him, as she succumbed to sleep. Heinz snorted as he bent down and kissed her forehead.
"Dadda?"
"Mmhm," Heinz hummed, a small smile on his lips from hearing her use his name.
That seemed to be all the answer Vanessa needed, as her own eyes finally drifted shut as well.

Before Yoohyun even opens his door, Junhwan’s raising his head, ears flicking. Yoohyun eyes him; while he can’t hear anything himself, Junhwan’s ears are still sharper, so he trusts him—but whatever emotion his daemon is feeling, it isn’t alarm. If anything, it reads as pleased surprise.
Yoohyun opens the door to hyung’s laughter and understands immediately. His and Junhwan’s footsteps are cat-light as they enter their house, padding silently through the living room towards… Is the sound coming from the Horned Flame Lion’s enclosure? Yoohyun’s told hyung not to go in there unsupervised for a while! …But hearing him still laughing like that, he can’t be too angry. Not when the little beast has apparently managed to achieve what he hasn’t in the last two days. A curl of jealousy flares inside him, Junhwan’s lips pulling back to bare his teeth in the start of a growl as he presumably arrives at the same thought, but then there’s a soft, breathless giggle-snort from noona and that-
That makes them both very quiet.
They slow down as they get closer. Hyung isn’t immediately visible through the glass walls of the enclosure; Yoohyun dares to get closer, keeping to the side with some of the thicker foliage, and peers through the gaps.
Ah. There. Hyung’s lying on his side on the soft grass, the Lion perched on his hip and staring wide-eyed at… Noona, who’s up on a tree?
Yoohyun doesn’t understand. What’s so funny? He squints at the Lion, who’s doing… a grand total of precisely nothing. It’s just staring at noona and swishing its tail back and forth, the tip occasionally flicking over hyung’s side. Is it tickling him? But hyung isn’t ticklish, as far as he remembers… And even if he was, what’s noona laughing about? She’s halfway up one of the trees—Yoohyun takes a heart-stopping second to study it and make sure it’s not a Gillotinae, even though he knows objectively that she wouldn’t be stupid enough to get close to those—and peering down at hyung, wearing a silly smile.
She shifts as he watches, turning to jump across to another tree close by and scrambling up its branches. “Reckless,” Junhwan mumbles almost inaudibly, and Yoohyun agrees. There’s something almost childish about the fumbling, uncontrolled way in which she climbs. Like she’s not used to all her limbs being where they are. He remembers it from back when she’d first settled—for two weeks after that, Yoohyun and Junhwan had watched her jump off high spots and panic because she’d forgotten she couldn’t fly. (She was a cat, she’d always landed on her feet, of course, but that hadn’t stopped Junhwan from moving to catch her. Just in case.)
She’s climbing really high right now, actually. Yoohyun frowns as she clambers to the top of one particularly tall tree. Shouldn’t that be stretching their distance limit? Even if hyung’s Awakened now? She barely seems to notice, and the same goes for hyung, who continues lying there, watching her affectionately. Noona crawls out to the edge of the branch closest to hyung, peeks down at him, then hunches down and—
Her feet lift off the branch. Yoohyun and Junhwan lunge for the door. There’s rustling of cloth and grass and fur and creaking hinges and then—
And then, Yoohyun and Junhwan are staring at hyung lying on his back on the ground, noona pillowed safely on his chest and the Lion on his knees, all three of them staring back.
“Yoohyun-ah?” Hyung sits up, noona hopping up to his shoulders and winding around his neck. “What’s going on?”
“Nothing,” Yoohyun blurts. It was only in case— “Nothing. Are you okay?”
“I… Yes…?”
“Okay.” Yoohyun nods quickly. “Good.”
There’s words at the tip of his tongue—be careful, didn’t that pull hurt, why are you in here when I said—but he never gets to say any of them, because noona narrows her eyes at Junhwan and says, “Well, in that case, let them talk, I-wanna-play-tag-you’re-it!” and flings herself at him.
Junhwan bolts entirely on 17 years’ worth of reflex, and noona chases him in circles around them, yowling when he goes too far from hyung for her to follow. Hyung snorts when Junhwan sheepishly approaches them again, only to dance away from noona’s batting paws.
“Oh, that’s no fair,” hyung wheezes, and coaxes the Lion off his knees before bracing his hands against the ground, pausing for a moment (…?), then rolling to his feet—no, foot, all his weight is on his left leg (??) for a split second before he relaxes, balanced once more. “Let’s give her a fighting chance, huh?” he says, and Yoohyun's eyes belatedly flick up from his leg to his face when he starts jogging after Junhwan. Noona gleefully gives chase with the new extension to her leash, and Yoohyun’s forced after them as they cross to the far end of the enclosure.
There’s a pleased smile on hyung’s face as he goes, childish glee in noona’s cackling as she runs, and Yoohyun watches them for a moment before deciding to drop it. He can bring up the question another time; it hardly seems fair to ruin their fun now.
He can't stop himself from smiling as he follows.
