Albion Proper || September 4, 1923
Sallie had missed Rosie. Really, she had.
But it was hard to remember the missing when the girl wouldn’t. Stop. Talking.
They had barely made it off Hickory Hill on their way into town before Rosie was running her mouth in a way that would have turned Ruthie Salenger green with envy.
Chatter about Mattie’s latest readings, Maggie Andersson’s leaky roof, Rebecca Teivel’s spinsterhood. Had she heard that Ruthie’s pa was shacking up with someone else?
The walk up Abbott Street was spent bickering over whether they should be talking who was shacking up at all.
Passing buy Leo’s had dusted up the matter of Fanny and Simon’s marriage which brought them to Front Street and–
“Opal’s gonna wear her mama’s dress.” A sigh. “It’s such a waste, because they could pay a penny for something a sight nicer. It’s not as if they’re poor.”
Sallie’s jaw set. “We ain’t poor, Rosie.”
“Well we ain’t rich either. I think she should wear velvet. It should be off white because she’s already pale as an egg.”
“Rosie–”
“And I reckon she’s gonna look like an egg already. Some people are saying it’s high time they tied that knot, but other people are saying it’s all ‘cause Opal has a bun in the oven, which is funny since–”
Rosie stopped short in front of Wolgemuth’s (10% off salt– shore up your circle!) and for just a moment, granted the gift of silence.
But it was, after all, only a moment.
“Who’s he?”

Mfw the puppets I used to animate for breaks and specials gain sentience 30+ years after the show's disappearance
I've had a comfort AU in mind for some time now, and I wanna share and talk about it!! Basically, it involves the animated incarnations of the Welcome Home puppets from a long lost special episode coming to life and entering the human world where they meet an ex employee of the Playfellow Workshop!!
Here's said employee, my WH OC Fionn!! A once outgoing and friendly scallywag turned miserable and grumpy old man, he used to be one of the Playfellow Workshop's best employees, working as an animator and concept artist. However, having witnessed what caused the shutdown of the company and the disappearance of the show, he became a shut away drunkard, living alone in the middle of a forest - that is, until the (re)animated forms of the long lost show he once loved appear at his doorstep!
