@smokbeast have a lil cross bitty b/c this was cute dlkjfakjf

Puppy eyes for kisses 💋

God my brain sure does have holes in it tho

🍒?

Ding Ding! We have a winner!

🍒 what is your earliest memory 🍒

I remember waking up. At least that was the feeling I got. I was standing next to my sister when we were children as our mother was talking to us about something. I don't exactly remember what about since I was preoccupied. I remember pulling my shirt in order to look at the design (which was a Charizard shirt.) I remember looking around to my surroundings feeling foreign in my own body. It was ethereal almost. I don't think anyone else noticed, but I remember thinking to myself "why am I here" and "where am I".

I don't usually talk about this, but my earliest memory was right before I even saw anything. I remember the feeling of warmth. I remember hearing bubbles moving. I remember feeling a connection to someone that I had never seen. When I finally gained the ability to see, I remember seeing Brother and Knowing. Knowing that he and I are connected. That we are related. I remember the lightness and the pure joy that filled my soul at that moment. Glowbug was only moments after myself in terms of finally being able to see. I remember that we wouldn't let each other go until the humans pulled us apart.

Hmm? That's a strange question. You want to know the truth of my "birth" then? Let me tell you a story:

In this universe where I reside, there rules a goddess. She is the stars, the Galaxy, the darkness that this planet resides within. She is the Mother of all, yet the dragons are her legitimate children. She created the planets and the sun's so that her young may thrive and eventually grow to be with her within this vast universe. I remember feeling something akin to warming yourself next to a fire on a cold evening, yet the feeling was me. My soul. I remember looking into the colorful darkness that is the Goddess. I remember her touch and her gaze as she put me together. I remember her pulling stardust from herself to create my body. I remember her breath as she breathes the magic into my bones. I remember her voice, yet I don't remember what she told me. She is the reason I protect her young because without her, I would not exist.

I told you we all had an interesting answer. Now for a prize my friend. @cranberrytea451, What would you like me to draw?

okay but do you think that between getting the cup and getting to samwell they fucked against the cup? on the cup? in the cup? sure jack isn't actually hockey-sexual but can jack be around the stanley cup he personally won and not get turned on? important questions

arsenal can drop 4 goals in the cl but barely 2 a game in the prem ??

Alessia Russo

“You can’t leave me like this!”

alessia russo

"you're not seeing less tonight?" your room mate asked in surprise as you appeared in your living room in your pyjamas. "no she has a big game tomorrow, part of our agreement is that she gets a good nights sleep beforehand. otherwise we stay up talking for hours and i get the blame if she plays bad!" you chuckled collapsing onto the sofa.

the two of you bickered about what to get for dinner for awhile until you eventually settled on chinese, your roommate stepping out to call and order as you browsed through your shared netflix to watch list.

"rom com?" you called out, the girl giving you a thumbs up as she continued to order, ending the call and joining you again on the sofa. the two of you agreeing on a movie you patiently awaited your food to arrive, commentating through the film to one another as usual.

but no sooner had you paid and thanked the delivery driver did your phone ring, your girlfriends contact popping up as you shoved a spring roll into your mouth and clicked accept.

"hi baby!" you greeted once you'd swallowed your mouthful, nodding as your roommate dished you up a plate adding in a little bit of everything. "lessi whats wrong?" you asked, her lack of returned greeting causing you some concern.

"can you come over please?" the girl requested as your eyebrows furrowed. "why whats happened?" you stepped out of the room as your roommate gave you a questioning look and you dismissed it with a wave.

"theres an intruder." "what!" "yeah, can you just come over please?" "of course love i'll call the police on my way. are you safe??"

"police? i don't need the police." alessia spoke as you paused, frown deepnding even further. "lessi im a little confused here." you entered your room and shrugged on a puffer over the top of your hoodie.

"a spider babe, theres a huge fucking black spider and i need you to come kill it please." alessia clarified as you sighed in relief that there was no real danger. "just hit it with a shoe less you've got about a hundred pairs." you chuckled, pausing with one arm in and one arm out of your puffers.

"no! please baby its massive like im talking enormous and its in the bedroom so i won't be able to sleep!" alessia whined much to your amusement, the taller girl often boasting how much stronger and faster she was than you and making fun of your notable height difference.

"thought you were just so big and strong and athletic babe? euro winner can't kill a little itty bitty spider?" you cooed mockingly, shoving your other arm in your jacket. "shut up! just get here and help me please." with that the call beeped that she'd ended it.

"just put mine in the fridge, i'll be back in an hour tops." you sighed to your roommate quickly catching her up on the call as she let out a laugh, wrapping up your plate for you as you called out goodbye and grabbed your car keys.

ignoring the three calls from your girlfriend you drove over to her flat which was about twenty minutes from your own, pulling up in the driveway to find her stood on the front steps with her arms wrapped around herself.

"alessia its freezing are you stupid?" you huffed at her lack of clothing as she rolled her eyes. "all my jackets and hoodies are in the bedroom." the blonde frowned as she let the two of you into her place, taking your puffer for you.

"right. where is it then?" you sighed tiredly, stomach rumbling as your girlfriend handed you a shoe and a can of bug spray, pushing you toward her bedroom. "thanks babe." you grumbled flicking her a glare over your shoulder.

carefully pushing open her door you stuck your head in and looked around, stepping properly inside with a frown as you looked around but came up empty handed.

"it's gone." you shrugged returning to where your girlfriend sat waiting on the sofa. "you killed it?" the striker perked up with a grin, balling your hoodie in her fists and tugging you down on top of her. "i love you i love you i love you i love-" she started to kiss all over your face making you blush.

"no baby, it's gone as in i can't see it anywhere." you clarified as she stopped, pushing you to sit up with legs straddling her hips. "what! well go look for it then." the blonde ordered pointing back to her room with a huff.

"no! alessia its probably gone back outside again, i am not turning your entire room upside down to look for a spider. i love you very much but i've got dinner waiting for me and i'm starving." you leaned down to kiss her sweetly before standing up off of her.

"you can't leave me like this!" your girlfriend hurried after you, snatching your keys off the hook and holding them out of your reach. "less!" you groaned, smacking her chest and stretching for them but it was a fruitless task given she easily stood head and shoulders taller.

"you can't leave me alone what if its just waiting for you to leave before it appears again?" alessia challenged with a raised eyebrow. "its a spider alessia i don't think its got a personal vendetta against you." you chuckled, keys still held out of your reach.

"what if it comes back though? i'm not sleeping in there with it in hiding!" alessia decided firmly as you sighed and dropped your arm. "then sleep on the sofa baby, please gimme my keys im hungry!" you groaned, poking her stomach with a hufff.

"good. you can stay here tonight and i'll cook you something now while you go look for that little eight legged intruder." alessia dropped your keys on top of her book shelf well out of your reach. "what? no!" you protested, trying to reach for the keys.

"yes. or you leave the spider to its business and we sleep on the lounge together." you let out a yell as your girlfriend suddenly grabbed you, hauling you over her shoulder and wandering to the kitchen.

"you know this display of athleticism really doesn't do anything to erase the fact you're scared of a tiny weeny spider and forced me to come over and kill it." you smacked her behind before she sat you down on the counter.

"well you didn't even do that, some girlfriend you are." alessia sighed with a shake of her head as she moved to look through her refrigerator to cook you something as you scoffed at her comment.

"where you going? you can't leave love." alessia chuckled with a smug smile as you narrowed your eyes.

"i'm gonna go and catch that spider and then i'm gonna throw it on you while you sleep."

The final part of the Smiling Critters Family Headcanons!!

Picky Piggy

Picky Piggy and her family reside in the serene countryside of Jolly Valley, where the vibrant greenery and bustling farm life create a picturesque setting for their adventures. The Piggy family, comprising Benjamin Cowbell, Polly Porkella, and their lively triplets: Picky, Itty, and Bitty, embodies the essence of rural harmony, where hard work blends seamlessly with moments of joy and connection.

Polly's backstory paints a vibrant picture of her past life as a city girl, adorned with numerous accolades and triumphs from contests and competitions across the region. But even though she enjoyed participating in the competitons as a hobby and for fun, the busy life and training it endured, along with the pressure from her parents (even though they only wanted the best for her), was something that began to weight upon Polly as she grew up.

It was amidst the rustic charm of a rural fair that she serendipitously encountered Benjamin after running off from a contest she didn´t want to participate in, their chance meeting sowing the seeds of a deep and enduring connection in the future. They talked a bit on that first encounter, but they didn´t get to know each other´s names due to him having to leave early as his parents were waiting for him so they could return home together. Things didn´t change much in a few years from that first time, as Polly kept on participating in contests and growing famous as Benjamin kept on with his busy yet simple life as a young farmer, helping his family. One day his friends encouraged him to join a local competition and even though he didn´t know the prize, he won. It turned out that the winner got to have a date with a well known critter around the competition world... Who happened to be Polly Porkella herself (she was forced into this situation). And despite the initial confusion they were both very happy to see each other again, and they used the time of the date to know each other (and they names) properly, as well as catching up. The two of them kept in touch after that second meeting, communicating through letters most of the time.

When Polly was old enough, she seeked a more peaceful life, aside from the contesting world, and moved out with Benjamin when she had the chance, as they decided to start working in their own farm nearby CritterVille. With the passage of time, their bond flourished and their family grew, enveloping them in a tapestry of love and shared values. Despite the mischievous antics of their energetic daughters, Benjamin and Polly remained steadfast in imparting the importance of hard work and empathy.

Even though the Piggy family is numerous on its own, they also have other family members nearby them. One of them being Sturdy Donkey, who happens to be Picky´s cousin. The teenager spends most of his time working as the town´s carpenter along with his father or with his friends, but he tries to go over and help at the farm as much as he can. And in return his group can hang out and rehearse their music in one of their barns (hence the name "Barn Gang"). Picky sometimes goes over to listen to them or simply talk, and even asks if she can invite some friends over in one ocassion, to which they all agree. However when the rest of the Smiling Critters went over, there was a little surprise factor (and family drama) in regards to Pecky, Kickin´, and secrets kept between siblings... But that´s a story for another time~

BONUS

- Polly is a very skilled swimmer!! And Picky got that from her mother, but no one will know about that talent unless there is a beach episode or something /hj

- Clucketta, Kickin´s mother, goes over to the farm to visit and help Polly as they are very close friends. And by that Picky and Kickin´ knew each other even though they didn´t talk much at first. Though one day Kickin´ opened up to her, showing how he was concerned about his friend Bubba as his mother had passed away recently and he wanted to help him. Picky then suggested to bake an apple pie in order to cheer him up. The young elephant was incredibly touched by the gesture, and from that moment the three of them grew really close (even though he and Kickin´ knew each other long time before that). That was the only time any of the Smiling Critters had seen Bubba cry.

- Just like Picky, Kickin´ and Bubba are very close, Polly, Cuckletta and Mr. Bubbaphant (I will give him a name someday I promise) are very good friends as well! Polly is the most determined of the group, Cuckletta kinda follows along (even though many of the times she is confused and scared of what is even going on) and Mr. Bubbaphant watches closely in case they need help or just don´t get into trouble (like their kids lmao)

One Piece Shipping War - Bonus Poll!

The winner of the poly ship bracket vs the most popular (and honestly, only) Buggy ship of the duo bracket!

Propaganda under the cut. [contains some spoilers]

Propaganda for Cross Guild:

Idk there's something about three people who hate each other that just works.

they don't need no propaganda. I could never make propaganda like buggy the clown does in canon

mr. pathetic (buggy) paired with two actual warlords who could (but haven't !) demolished him ? it has to be love

Crocodile and Mihawk are a fucked up rich ass couple and Buggy is the chihuahua in their purse

CROSSGUILDCROSSGUILD XXX

Its cross guild. you know why (mod: as an anime-only fan, I don't, but I'm looking forward to find out 😂)

Propaganda for Shanks x Buggy:

What if we were childhood friends who gave up our drama for each other then never saw each other again for years

What can I say, I'm a fellow shuggy truther too 🤝

Shanks obviously adores Buggy, and Buggy is so tsundure~! Mr 'I hate Shanks'-but-will-take-every-opportunity-to-talk-about-him-and-be-with-him.

Oden says in his journal that he can't tell if they're friends of enemies, and I just love that. Plus when you add in the revelation about Shanks and Buggy in the recent chapters.

They're childhood friends. They're exes. They've been married for 20 years. They're opposites. They're the same. They're silly goofy guys who make me want to cry my heart out. Red/Blue is always meant to be.

Buggy """""HATES""""" Shanks. This hate is so strong that he WILL yell at this red-haired bastard despite the fact that he is a coward, who is terrified of all the Emperors. Everyone thinks this is strange. However, when you grow up with said Emperor on the same boat, watching him stumble over his feet as he's trying to learn to use a sword, stuck scrubbing the whole deck because he was stupid enough to prank "Dark King" Rayleigh, and make that same stupid pouty face every time his Conqueror's Haki doesn't do anything because he is an itty bitty child, most of that fear gets pretty quelled. Also, that same fucker lost an arm because he's a DUMBASS and he deserves to be made fun of for it (not because Buggy is worried and missed him not at all no no Shanks is just DUMB and needs to be TOLD he is dumb more. But just by Buggy. Because Buggy has known his idiocy forever. He has earned the right to yell at this stupid, stupid Emperor for being a self-sacrificing fool and for giving away that stupid hat and... Wait, hang on, when did this bastard get hot!? WHAT THE FUC-) And Shanks just keeps smiling at Buggy and his antics because he has 100% been in love with him since they were children (his actions while they were on the Roger pirates are the DEFINITION of pigtail-pulling as flirting) and he is just happy to see that he's safe while being exactly the same larger-than-life clown he always knew. He would gladly give up his life of sluttery (that I am convinced this man has. Just look at how he exists) if Buggy would just agree to join his crew, but will not push him if he doesn't want to. He just loves his pretty clown from a distance and waits. TLDR: Buggy is mad that he's in love with Shanks and Shanks just likes existing with and/or annoying Buggy (they come as a pair). GOD I just love childhood friends to lovers bro. Just let the cabin boys kiss.

[Spoiler Warning] Red and Blue gays! Emperor husbands! Childhood friends to enemies to lovers!

a symbiote teaser

Summary: It's not that Peter is jealous. He can't be. The symbiote is just that - an alien organism. A strange creature from a different planet. Black goo, currently occupying his best friend's attention and - oh yeah, her body.

A tiny snippet from an itty-bitty idea about a little symbiote fic...

---- ---- ---- ---- ----

"The terms of the agreement were, and I quote, borrow him for a minute," Peter Parker grumbles, picking up the pace as he tries to avoid the evening crowds. He has to walk faster these days just to keep up, despite being the taller of the two. Every day, he uncovers something new and annoying about this unholy union.

"I can't help that he likes me more," his friend shoots back, a tiny smile at the corner of her lips. Peter watches the way her fingers curl and uncurl at her side, an occasional twitch betraying the unnatural source of the movement.

"Why are you lying to me?" he challenges, though even his own ears perceive it as the whiny question it is.

"You can't handle him, Pete. We both saw that. And I'm not lying to you. He may like your powers more, but personality-wise... there's a clear winner here."

He grabs her wrist before he can stop himself - and really, he's never had a reason to doubt the gesture before - but the icy skin is enough to shock him away and even backwards a half-step. Peter is sure his entire face reflects everything his brain can't yet process.

She looks at his hand briefly, an unspoken apology clear in her bitten lip. People continue to move past their frozen forms in the middle of the sidewalk, a complaint or two escaping the average New Yorker.

"Yeah, that... V is a little sensitive to heat. He can't really regulate his own temperature, so he lowers mine a degree or two. I mean, I can't actually feel it or-"

"Did you just call him V?" Peter sputters.

"What?" she asks back, equally caught off guard.

The rapid blinking disturbs him. To Peter, it suggests she didn't mean to let it slip, but that it's not the first time she's called that thing a petname. He needs to rectify this situation now. Matter of fact, he should've done it last week, but recovering from having that amoeba inside him took longer than he thought it would. To be fair, many of the things that happened in the past month were never meant to happen, including his best friend coming anywhere hear that crawling demonic protoplasm.

And they still haven't talked about how exactly she ended up with the symbiote inside her, because the last thing possessed-Peter remembers is a rooftop, pouring rain and a really wet feeling that couldn't have been the rain.

I feel like it would be interesting if Sinner!Adam and Winner!Sir Pentious still have some slight traits.

Sir Pentious always leaving things a tiny bit more chaotic, the things he makes always being a bit too scary, he always seems a bit too warm to the touch.

Sinner!Adam always leaving things a bit neater when he leaves. People are just an itty-bitty bit nicer near him, things hurt just a tiny bit less, he smiles a bit too comfortingly.

I dunno, I just think it would be interesting.

Hm, that would be curious. I wonder what other kind of "leftovers" there would be, especially for Adam? He honestly didn't look like much of an angel to begin with lmfao

Commission for @itty-bitty-sunshine of their Immortal AU. They were one of the winners of the 200 follower giveaway

I really liked the idea of a warm domestic morning baking with the boys while everything is just kinda casually going to shit lol. I also hid a ton of easter eggs in here if you can find them :3

So time travel idea. Nomads!AU Branch gets thrown back into his toddler self, before Brozone breaks up. Idk how, maybe accidental wormhole, magic, or Cloud Guy’s fault. How would branch react and act considering he has over 20 years of experience living in the forest with the grey trolls and ferals to survive? and how would past Brothers react?

Horrified

Branch just pops up in the past before one of the worst moments in his life (of course he’s gonna spiral for like an hour?!) and eventually comes to the conclusion he needs to go back! (he struggles mentally if he should stay and try fixing his relationship with his brothers, but eventually decides against it because an entire village is counting on him to come back ….they need him (Oooo- buddy I see you’ve got some dependency issues weighing on ya 😬)

The brothers are just breaking down, because for some reason Bitty B is Grey?!!?!!?! (Branch has to turn grey if he went back I mean he currently has 20 years of trauma and heavy unresolved issues saying him down)

Bitty is also acting really weird like, refusing to touch anyone, keeps somehow getting weapons and acting like he knows how to use them, talks like an adult for some reason, and every time one of the brothers try to grab B he just doges with the precision of an Olympic winner gymnast?!

They are just confused everything was fine yesterday and now Baby Branch is like a completely different person, they call off everything (maybe even a certain tour) just so they can try and get Bit’s color back, and to get to the bottom of what’s happening! (I mean JD can’t let the public see Branch now! he’ll ruin Brozone’s image)

Idk how the story would end, but Branch would eventually get back, and everything is normal still (YAY, no huge time paradoxes 😁) The only addition is how the brothers now have a story where they SWEAR Branch was possessed for like a week.

Here is the form for Queer Book Character Tournament 2!

thoughts on lamilla and zimbits double dates (or maybe even include holsom on group dates)? —gothlesbianlardo

Ohhhh my gosh I thought about this for a long time. Ummm and then I went on a rant. Hope this is fun? @gothlesbianlardo

Starts out so awkward. Soooooo awkward. In my head Camilla and Jack BOTH get caught doing the walk of shame out of Lardo and Bitty’s room and they just give eachother twin we are so busted looks

THEN like a month later, Lardo and Camilla run into Jack and Bitty at Annie’s. they say hi and it’s busy and they all kind of crowd into a booth for coffee. A Swallow photog is there and takes a picture of Jack and Camilla briefly hugging and it goes VIRAL on nhl Twitter. bitty thinks it’s funny. jack is mortified.

Then they are bonded by fire. Guess who end up sitting together at games? Camilla and Jack. Rumors are swirling. It’s the perfect cover. Camilla and Jack both hate it for different reasons. And even though they have history and maybe it should be weird, it kind of.. stops being awkward? like they have a lot in common and they get along. And both care a lot about Lardo.

But Jack is still a rookie, Bitty isn’t out to his parents, Camilla is going pro on the tennis circuit and getting her MBA at the same time, and Lardo is landing contracts for art pieces with commas in places that make her head spin. This is kind of the perfect cover. So they ALL go out.

Twitter fans? Rabid. This is unavoidable. Tumblr is obsessed with them. The times Holsom appear on these group dates they’re on are like guest features on a tv show. Bitty’s Twitter presence SKYROCKETS.

Elaborate double, triple dates. Camilla is old money, Hamptons, takes them all out to the cape for a weekend everyone scores off. Falls asleep next to Lardo to the smell of the fog and the sea, and realizes she wants this all the time.

FAST FORWARD like four months and Camilla says “fuck it,” and with Lardo’s permission, hard launches it. Jack just sends her a text that says “<3” and one from Bittle that says “I hope you know I had to copy paste that for him. We’re both so happy for you.”

And then after the Kiss Heard Round The World, everyone lays low for a while, but also no one has to pretend anymore.

Their next double date is under no false pretenses, none of the awkward staring in the hallway like the first night. The double dates take a whole new meaning, and everyone is all for it.

Mostly I think they start going on insane adventures and Bitty’s blog kind of takes off with it. And also big #womeninsports moment because Camilo. Kicks. Ass. In the tennis world. And her and Bitty start a podcast about women’s college sports.

Jack, Stanley Cup Winner, is like “wow I’m a trophy husband to my boyfriend and my ex situationship. that totally tracks!” and is obsessed with helping them film and do the photography. abobe suite king in the off-season. Kent makes a guest appearance on the pod and there’s one WHOLE awkward minute in the recording booth when they’re all looking at each other with ONE man in common. Bitty sits on Jack’s lap the entire time they’re recording. Lardo pulls Camilla into a broom closet after.

stepbro Ari taking you to a Halloween party at the frat house and all his frat bros staring at you in your little costume 😏 I bet Ari would be soo jealous and protective hehehe

Halloween is the only time he lets you decide what to wear yourself. Unlike the rest of the year when he’s always picking your clothes (and your friends and just about anything you do). So this year, you decide to be a little rebellious, and what’s more rebellious than a itty bitty devil 🤗

It’s a tiny dress, barely considered a dress, and a red tail and matching horns. You even do you makeup to theme with dark lipstick and red glitter !!

The other guys are all horny happy for you for doing it all yourself: “good job, duck!” “Look at you, not asking for help.” “What a good girl, you gonna stay up with us too?”

And to answer the last question, you do stay up all night with them. In fact, by the early morning hours, each of the guys are covered in your red glitter. It’s almost a game, who can get covered it in the most, or proudly wear your lipstick on their skin.

Perhaps the winner is your stepbrother himself, Ari’s face is covered in your messy lipstick kisses, and his werewolf costume (more like torn up clothes and some cheap blood splatters) is covered in your glitter.

But the runner up would be Curtis, he has your lipstick on his neck and lots of glitter on his white pants (he went as a baseball player). Steve has your lipstick on his biceps from when he put you in a loving chokehold, he just wanted to keep you close to him, and he’s got glitter on his bare torso (he went as a sexy farmer who only owns jeans apparently).

And the rest? Hehe maybe just some red glitter here and there.
