Could I request a two parts of dog day (with legs) x reader?
For the first part it’s just fluff to heavy angst.
The second part is heavy angst to fluff.
The plot for the first one, dog day and the reader are with poppy and kissy Missy, while searching the school for supplies. Catnap ambushes them and starts chasing them. He splits up dogday and the reader and while they fight the reader gets kidnapped…
Also Catnap taught as dog day the whole time and tricks him with poppy gas making him believe everything’s okay. When in reality he lost.
Star Gazing
[Part two]
Pulling open drawers you riffled through loose papers and broken pencils. Holding in a sigh you moved onto the next cabinet. More bits and bobs that had long lost their usefulness stared you in the face. 
“How’s the scrounging going?” You did not hold back your sigh this time and let your head gently thunk on the rusted metal of the cabinet.
“That bad?” You heard DogDay muse as he wandered up behind you. In response you flail your arms around. A low laugh leaves him and you turn your head enough to glare at him. There is no heat behind it though, you don’t want to discourage him. The sound of DogDay and Poppy laughing along with the sight of Kissy’s little shoulder shakes is something you deeply treasure.
“Has your luck been better than mine?” You’re hopeful because you know that the school can’t possibly be picked clean. It had been closed off for ten years, something still had to be here. Hidden away in an attempt to preserve it. 
“It has. Come on, let me show you.” DogDay was smiling, he always was, but you knew when it reached his eyes it was genuine.
“Oh? What did you find?” An eyebrow raised as he led you towards one of the classrooms you hadn’t checked yet. 
“It’s a surprise.” That had you intrigued along with the faint giggling you heard through the closed door. Suddenly you were feeling rather giddy. What could they have possibly found that made all of them so excited? 
“Okay, close your eyes.” You did as you were told. Hearing the door creak open you felt your foot tapping in anticipation. Hands were being placed on your shoulders as you were guided through the doorway.
“Alright, you can open them.” Your eyes flung open as you took in the room. Standing in the center was a fort of sorts. Made up of various cabinets, desks, and stray blankets. You could see bits of soft yellow light shining through and the vague shadows of Kissy. 
“Follow me, I’ll show you inside.” You watched as DogDay crouched down, his shoulders hunching slightly as he crawled through a gap in the fort. Doing as you were told again you followed after him, being mindful of the rough concrete and various sharp points on the ground. 
“You’re here!” Small cool porcelain hands grabbed at your sleeve as Poppy tried to help you further into their constructed abode. You watched as she bounced on the balls of her feet. 
“What do you think?” Her big blue eyes looked up at you expectantly. Letting your gaze wander over the faded blankets, rusted desks, and torn pillows you could feel your heart starting to swell. 
“It’s wonderful.” You felt the need to speak softly as you stared at the scene in front of you. Poppy let out a small cheer as she scurried over to a stack of meticulously placed pillows. Kissy was draped over half of the fort, her limbs looped around protruding bars that were cushioned with various bits of cloth. She looked content and maybe a tad sleepy. 
“Get comfortable. There’s more.” DogDay fluffed a pillow as he beckoned you over. Warm excitement bloomed in your stomach as you shucked off the grabpack. Settling down next to him you opted to use his stomach as the resting place for your head. 
“Turn it on, turn it on.” Poppy chanted from atop her throne of cushions. You felt more than heard DogDay laugh. There was a click and the fort was plunged into darkness but then you heard a faint whirring noise. Glancing towards the center you aren’t sure how you didn’t notice the little contraption before. It was giving off a faint bluish glow and then there was a tap to your shoulder. Looking over you see that DogDay was pointing upward. Following his hand you let out a small laugh.
Above you were swirling faint stars. 
They twirled in a sporadic pattern, the light was dim, and you could hear a static filled tune slipping out of old speakers. Even as distorted as it all was you couldn’t help but feel contentment settle over you. Sinking further into DogDay you let this moment wash over you.
“What do ya think?” The giant dog asked.
“I love it.” You stated as you continued to watch the spinning stars. A large hand came to rest around your stomach. 
“Do you think we’ll ever get to see real stars?” Poppy’s small voice sounded from somewhere in the dark. Her tone was melancholic and it made something in your chest clench.
“Yes.” You stated, putting as much conviction behind your statement as possible. “When this is all over and we get out of here I’ll take us stargazing.” You swore.
“Really?” Two voices asked in unison as a mittened hand wrapped around your leg. 
  “I’ll take you wherever you want to go.” and you would. When all of you got out of here you would take them as far away and open as possible. That was a promise.
Everything fell silent as all of you stared at the projection. The arms around you tightened. A soft protest came from Poppy as you heard her get down from her pillow seat. 
And just as she was about to join in what had turned into a cuddle pile the center of the fort came crashing down. 
Dust and wood splinters rained down on you. The sound of Kissy shrieking shook the room as the scent of rotting poppies began to infect the air. Scrambling for your mask you come to the horrifying realization that the mask is attached to the grabpack. Which is not on you right now. Smacking a hand over your mouth you tried to hold your breath. Legs trapped in a tangle of blankets and broken desks you struggled. Your lungs began to burn.
“Get out of here!” DogDay shouts as he also fights against the ruined fort. 
A low rumbling laugh resonated through the room. It slithered through your ears and made your bones ache. Then something was wrapping around your arm and yanking. It tore you from DogDay and for a moment you thought it was Kissy. 
But as the faint glow of quizzical white eyes stared at you, any relief you felt vanished. Catnap brought you up to his face. So close that you could see the little scars that were littered around his eternal smile.
“I cannot see the stars, so none of you ever will.”

Is there a real military historian difference between a fort and a fortress? Maybe it has changed over time?
A fort is a small and/or temporary fortress, so it's a matter of size and permanency.

PRISON OF THE MOON MAIDEN
A celestial princess trapped in earth, a suitor trapped in drink, a vizier trapped in profit.
26/12 - 1/1 #dungeon23
An actual dungeon, this time! But also a pirate port and an underground lake? What can I say? I don't know how to write a dungeon.
Wanted to draw Princess Pall in full body lying on the lake's surface. But I don't have the necessary skill ... Also I am fortunate that the map looks so clean, with all my shaky pencil strokes erased. Thank the moon for erasers!
+
Now that #dungeon23 has begun to take the shape of a social-media trend, with people selling workbooks / worksheets for it; folks are talking about: "my dungeon23 project", like publishing is an inevitability---
The warm community spirit of Sean's initial ask seems to be giving way to the cold notion that a few "high-functioning creators" will have finished products by 2023's end, and others will be left out or burn out.
Social media is the market's handmaiden. And this turn in feeling is 100% the market exerting its pressure on us, to turn the things we love doing into work, into commodities.
+
I'm keeping my #dungeon23 with no plan and no outline.
I'm keeping it in my notebook. I am not digitising the text. It must remain uneditable. It must remain as sketches and notes.
This way it doesn't trigger my brain to go: "Okay, you are writing (ie: working) now."
For now, it remains un-instrumentalisable. Unseen and unable to serve the market. Once I'm done with it, who knows? But while I do it it remains play, a way for me to serve myself.
+
Interesting to track unconscious themes that develop over time.
Queen's Rest is turning out to be a town full of held beings, hoping for release: a locked-up parrot mutant; a demon used as an engine; an evil wizard kept at bay; a bunch of ghosts waiting for one last companion; an imprisoned moon fairy ...
Still having fun. One month down, eleven to go!

#dungeon23 thing I loved this week: The Cult Of The Burning Tire, by Victor J Merino.
It's a parking-garage dungeon, hell yeah.
