Man, it's been so long since I've written for the Shipwrecked au... I've actually had this oneshot in my drafts for a while, and only remembered it today.
This story is sort of a prequel to Familiar Faces! You've seen Eret's perspective on Foolish's adoption, what it looked like to a young human. Now we see what happened from a mer's eyes!
TW: safe, platonic vore
-----
A New Safety
-----
Foolish wiggled his tail in excitement, accidentally sending a few waves onto the beach. He kept his eyes shut, hiding them behind his hands for good measure.
"Free, four, five, seven, two, four-" he counted.
Really, he was just guessing at this point. He didn't know how to count very high in mer, let alone English, which he barely knew. It was ok, though. Eret didn't mind if he counted wrong, as long as he counted long enough so she could hide.
Foolish heard a tiny giggle, and instantly pinpointed his friend's location, even with his back turned. Of course, he would pretend not to know like he always did. It was no fun for Eret if he found them right away. Not that they knew he only pretended to look, of course.
He counted a few more numbers, ending on infinity, the biggest number he knew. Instead of looking behind the rock he knew Eret was behind, he drifted farther down the beach.
"Eret!" he called, drawing on his limited human vocabulary. "Eret where?"
He was about to start making his way towards Eret's hiding place, when he heard a noise that he hadn't heard in over a year. It was the questioning trill of another mer.
"Hello?" He called in mer, forgetting his game.
"Hello, little one," the mer said, rising to the surface from where she'd been hidden. "What are you doing by the shore?"
She was much bigger than Foolish, almost as big as his parent had been! Her hair was poofy, kind of like Eret's, and her scales were a shimmering rainbow of pink blue and purple. She was smiling at him, and he decided he liked her.
"I live here!" Foolish said proudly.
"All alone?" The mer asked, her voice ringing with concern. "Where is your parent?"
"I don't have one," Foolish admitted, his fins drooping. Then he perked up. "But I'm not alone! My friend comes to play all the time. His name is Eret. Eret?"
Foolish switched back to English to call his friend's name, but they didn't come out. For a minute, he thought they were still playing the game, but then he heard a little whimper. He remembered how scared Eret had been when they first met.
"She's shy," he told the grown up mer. "But she's a human, and her name is Eret! They're even littler than me."
"Even littler than you?" The older mer teased. "That's hard to do."
"Hey!" Foolish protested. "I'm not that little! Just wait, I bet I'll get even bigger than you!"
"Maybe you will," the colorful mer agreed with a gentle smile. "What's your name?"
"Foolish."
"My name is Puffy," she said. "It must be hard taking care of yourself. Do you want to live with me?"
Foolish thought for a few moments. He missed having a parent. There was nobody to cuddle with except for Eret, who was too small to hold him. He was always hungry because he wasn't very good at hunting yet, and his scales got itchy because his gills weren't grown yet and he had to sleep with his head on the sand.
"Can I still play with Eret?" He asked. "I don't want to leave him."
"Hmm," Puffy trilled. "I live a little far from this beach. Is it ok if you only visit every few days?"
"Yuh-huh," said Foolish. Eret could only come to play on the 'week ends' anyways.
"Ok," she said, reaching out a hand. Foolish swam into it right away, chirping with happiness as he was held. He was almost too big to fit in one hand- he didn't realize how much he'd grown!
"Do you want to go home now?" Puffy asked.
"Yes!" Foolish said, in between excited hums. "Oh, after I say goodbye to Eret."
He looked back down to the shore, but Eret was still hiding behind the rock. Hm. Maybe they were too nervous to meet Puffy. He could tell them he had a new parent the next time he visited- as well as he could with his limited English skills.
He told Puffy this, and she agreed, saying she didn't want to scare his friend. He held up his arms, and she began to raise him towards her face.
It was a little embarrassing, but 'hold' slipped out of his mouth in baby talk. He was too old to be chirping like a newborn hatchling, but Puffy didn't laugh. She just pressed her nose against him and purred.
The second she opened her mouth, Foolish launched himself forward. This time she did laugh a little, but Foolish couldn't bring himself to care. It had been so long since he'd been in a nesting pouch, safe and cozy.
Puffy kept up a steady purr as she cleaned him with her tongue. He leaned into the touches, already feeling fuzzy from the comfort after so long without. Once she deemed him clean and injury free, her tongue began to nudge him towards her throat.
Foolish let out another hum of excitement as she swallowed, sending him towards her pouch. The walls squeezed him as he slipped down, and he'd joined in with Puffy's purring by the time he landed in the pouch.
He instantly curled up against the pouch wall, fighting back the urge to cry as he felt complete safety for the first time in over a year. A rocking motion gently shook the pouch as Puffy began to swim, taking him to his new home.
Foolish yawned, his eyes falling shut. After so long away from other mers, being held was beyond relaxing. He let out a quiet chirp of contentment before he drifted off to sleep.

Back at the beginning, No Time Alone, and Bringing You Back for the fake fics :]
3!!!! WOOOO
Back at the beginning
It always started the same. Towering white walls and ceilings above him. White sheets, pillows, clothes and furniture, all perfectly pristine and always exactly the same.
Karl had explored this castle a thousand times over. He’d been in every room, nook and cranny he could fit into, yet nothing explained where he was, why he was there or how to leave it.
It was getting more difficult to remember things every time the dream restarted too. Because surely this was a dream? It didn’t matter if he broke a glass or smashed a wall, he’d wake up again and it would be as if nothing had changed. Except, it did change.
Always about half way through his exploring, the tremors and pull start. That’s when Karl ran. He didn’t know what it was trying to find him but all he knew it was big. And it didn’t matter where he hid, it always found him in the end. Giant hands pulling him from where he hid, or bursting through windows grabbing him when he tried to dodge shattered glass shards.
I just had to make that one Karl. Just fitted so perfectly with Time loops lol.
But it got worse. Everytime the dream restarted, he had gotten smaller. He was now at a point where he was just under a foot tall and had given up on trying to escape. He waited, lying in the white bedroom for his scheduled impending doom, wondering if maybe this time he’d actually find out what had been after him.
As expected, a giant hand burst through the wall and grabbed Karl out of the bed. It didn’t matter any more, but at least now he’d see what was after him. But what Karl wasn’t expecting, was for the giant monster that held him in its grasp to be a giant version of himself!
No Time alone.
Fundy never got a break. Yes he knew his Dad Wilbur Soot valued him as member of L’manberg (which was apparent from all his pet names), but he couldn’t help but feel used and neglected by his father.
It seemed the second he was done with one task, he was sent on another. And not until after he went through the same stupid safety checklist and was checked over like a piece of glass upon every return!
You could argue being a fox hybrid with the ability to shrink down would be a great assets to have. He should be grateful that his father trusted him to go on spy reconnaissance so often. But it irritated Fundy that no matter how well he succeeded on a mission, his father always treated him as a child.
Especially when he was only a few inches tall. Always picking him up and babying him! Didn’t he understand he was a full grown adult? He didn’t need the sweet talk and the constant parenting on everything he did. If anything, maybe going on missions was a good thing.
He didn’t have constant nagging or any restrictions from his Dad. Maybe staying small and lurking in the shadows away from L’manberg wouldn’t be a bad idea..
Ok. That started off better in my head but eh. Can’t win em all lol.
Bringing you Back
Did Tommy think it was fair for Wilbur to ditch him and return to Utah? Not at all. Did he think it was a good decision at 3 inches tall to try and make it across choppy waters in his little boat to follow after him? Absolutely not.
Stranded in the middle of the ocean, miles from any shore or having a clue to where he is, Tommy is stranded. No food or drinkable water, it’s just him and his thoughts of abandonment.
He really was a fool. Not only has he been abandoned yet again by his own brother, he was going to die alone either from starvation, drowning or being crushed by the giant pirate coming straight towards him.
Wait. Pirate ship??? Hang on. IS THAT PUFFY???
Hehehe I like that one a lot ❤️
Thankyou so much Squishy!!!!! These were soooo good!!! ❤️❤️

Losar System
Cooking the Solar System from the Inside Out
(yeah lol it does kinda look like it says Loser)
For this system layout, I have taken the Solar System planet's orbital distance in astronomical units, and taken the reciprocal.
The major planets, in order of increasing distance from Los, are Enutpen, Sunaru, Nrutas, Retipuj, Sram, Thrae, Sunev, and Yrucrem.
Read more about them below the cut:
Tumblr media
The Losar system formed through a very different mechanism to our solar system. I'm not sure entirely about the specifics, but the arrangement is not dissimilar to the Kepler-90 system, in which 6 super-earth-mass planets are extremely compact and close to their parent star, with a low-mass and a high-mass gas giant at the outer part of the solar system. Perhaps as Retipuj formed, it migrated inward, carrying with it the ice and gas necessary to form the super-earth-mass planetary cores which accreted into Enutpen and Sunaru, or perhaps there was some kind of switcharoo where the Hot Ice Giants started out on more distant orbits, before crossing orbits with Retipuj and then being coralled into lower orbits.
Either way, some kind of migration is necessary, since Enutpen and Sunaru are volatile-rich, and the outer planets are comparatively volatile-poor.
I've excluded Pluto (or "Otulp") and the other dwarf planets, not because I don't like them or think they count as planets, but because I think by the time you're accounting for every large object in the Solar system in the Losar system, it just gets really implausible. also I bet some objects end up inside of the Sun. Plus, this kind of thought experiment is playing the same kind of planetary dynamics game that splitters are playing when they say Pluto's not a planet. Suffice to say, there are definitely lots of interesting small worlds in the Losar system, but they don't have 1:1 analogues with Solar system planets.
There are only five large moons in the entire system. Aside from Retipuj, satellites and rings are not stable around any of the Hot Giants. If satellites were initially formed around the Hot Giants, they would have either crashed into the planets or were ejected into one of the asteroid belts.
The first civilization to arise in the Losar system are the Sunevians, suspiciously great-ape-like feathered aliens who walk on their upper limbs and use their lower limbs as graspers. Sunev is an oceanic world with one large australia-sized landmass and a great number of volcanic islands. The ocean is relatively shallow, with a lot of coral reefs across the planet. The world is kept warm due to an atmosphere with an Earthlike composition but over twice the atmospheric pressure. Its slow retrograde rotation period results in day/night cycles which are more like seasons, and there is plenty of time during the warm nights to peek through the relatively dense cloud cover into the nearly empty sky. Early or late in the night, one might be able to see Thrae and Noom, or Sram, or if they catch it at just the right time, they might see the incredibly bright spectacle of Retipuj or even Nrutas peek out of the treeline, brighter than any planet or star. On a really good sunset across the ocean with clear skies, some observers report seeing additional super-bright red stars next to the red Sun, but these are thought to be some kind of weather phenomenon reflecting sunlight.
In rare moments of clear skies at night, away from light pollution, one might see many faint hazy spectacles. The zodiacal light (meteoroids orbiting beyond Yrucrem) shines as a faint haze across the ecliptic. The milky way too, shines as a glittery patchy cloud across the sky. But sometimes, every few hours, early in the night, there is a bright patch near the sun, brighter than the zodiacal light. A mystery for ages, but this is now known to be the cometary tail of Enutpen. Sunaru's tail is also detectable, but substantially fainter.
Sunaru and Enutpen were the first planets to be discovered, and were detected within a week of one another by early Losar observers. After the invention of the astronomical telescope, a reflector, observers got very bored during the daytime months. That is, until someone figured out a safe way of pointing towards the Sun. At a cadence of 52 and 103 hours, little black dots would march across the Losar disk. 52 hours was also the cadence of the brightening and dimming of the twilight zodiacal light. And suddenly, two brand new planets were discovered!
Millions of years later on the cold ice-age planet Thrae, astronomers would have an easier time with Enutpen and Sunaru, having known them to be planets since antiquity, due to their apparitions during total solar eclipses. Thrae's comparative cloudlessness also helps.
Sunev has three tiny asteroid moons, which was a helpful jumpstart to Sunevian space exploration, providing early wins for all four space programs. But these little asteroids were not truly other worlds, merely refueling outposts on the way to the rest of the Losar system.
Every few years, there would be a perfect alignment between Sunev and the Hot Giants to allow for a grand tour to be completed using only flybys of the gas giants, with minimal propellant expenditure. The first grand tour attempt got no further than Retipuj--contact was lost due to overheating before the probe made its Nrutas flyby. Specially developed solar flyby probes had to be developed that could survive hotter temperatures before the Hot Giants could be properly explored. These probes would resemble the Parker Solar Probe in some ways, albeit with very different scientific instruments designed for planetary science as opposed to Oilehphysics. Nrutas, Sunaru, and Enutpen turned out all to be much less massive than originally thought, having been puffed up to a larger diameter by being cooked by solar radiation. Nrutas, thought to be the king of the planets, turned out to be merely puffing up its crest to appear regal, so to speak.
Retipuj's moons were incredibly interesting. Retipuj turned out to have 8 satellites--four tiny inner asteroid moons, and four large satellite planets. Otsillac, the innermost turned out to be a volcanic world, yellow-brown in color and pitted with dull-red volcanoes, and a thin atmosphere constantly replenished by volcanic plumes. The next three are in a Ecalpal Resonance of 1:2:4. Being both larger than Otsillac (and, in fact, Yrucrem) and in a more eccentric orbit, Edymenag was even more volcanically active, with a molten surface and exposed mantle. The smaller and more distant Aporue and Oi turned out to be less active, with only a few active volcanoes and many extinct ones. Oi was the least active--although the most recent eruptions were only half a million years old, it was practically dead. It was also the only one with a substantial amount of impact craters, and like Thrae's satellite, Noom, there is likely some volatile ices stuck in the permanent darkness of polar craters.
Hot Giant exploration was best appreciated by specialists, but the other outer planets were much more appreciated. Sram was thought to be warm enough to potentially support liquid water, but its atmosphere ended up being 1/20th of the pressure initially expected, the majority of it having been blown away into space by the Losar winds and the Enutpen tail. But Thrae was a sweet spot--it may have had a thinner atmosphere, but that was compensated by being nearer to Los. In addition, a giant impact it sustained billions of years ago lead to it having a powerful magnetic dynamo to survive the onslaught of the Losar and Enutpen winds. Thrae was a habitable biosphere of similar complexity to Sunev's, albeit with deeper oceans and all the alien horrors that comes with the territory.
Even Yrucrem turned out to be a surprise--despite a dull appearance in telescopes, it was found to have cryovolcanoes and pockets of subsurface oceans, which could potentially support a biosphere. It's a dark brown color due to ice having been aged by solar radiation, with white spots and rays spraying out from recent asteroid impacts and cryovolcanic plumes. The small planets of the trans-Yrucrem asteroid belt were a similar treasure trove, although the nearest large trans-Yrucrem planets were a dozen au away, and requiring RTG power sources. Initial flyby probes to the Trans-Yrucrem-Objects required both being capable of surviving the oppressive heat of Los-shine near Retipuj, and the cold of deep deep space, in order to take advantage of Sunev-Thrae-Sunev-Retipuj gravity assists.
The Sunevians never had a chance to discover the deepest secrets of the Losar system. Their planet froze over due to anthropogenic aerosol production intended to reverse anthropogenic carbon emission, civilization fell, and it never recovered.
But millions of years later, perhaps the Thraelings have a chance to discover, whether through direct imaging or through analyzing the weirdly arrayed orbits of certain trans-yrucrem objects, the four Cold Giant planets, and the distant brown dwarf companion of the Losar system...

Warning/s: (???)
Prompt given by: @gt-mcyt
(I'd like to thank them for getting me out of my writers block :3)
Taglist: @da3dm
〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️
A loud, ear-splitting wail jolted Puffy awake, and she threw the covers off her body and bolted toward her baby’s room. She thought of horrible scenarios of what could be happening. The sheep hybrid pushed the door open and watched as a hooded figure clutched her baby in their arms.
“Let him go!” Puffy ran over to the figure, tugging at their cloak, tears streaming down her face as she attempted to grab her child from the intruder. “Please!” She cried.
The trespasser pulled out a knife with one hand, still holding the baby sheep hybrid in the other. The knife was held closely to Puffy’s neck as she begged a silent plea.
“Please, that’s my baby…”
She sobbed violently as the intruder jumped out the window and vanished into the darkness. Broken cries came from the sheep hybrid. Her knees buckled, and she knelt on the ground, hands over her face in grief. Just then, another unfamiliar sob caught her attention. Puffy’s legs shook as she slowly stumbled toward the crib, which was not empty as she’d thought. Instead, her eyes widened when she saw a small baby sniffling inside the crib.
“Oh, sweet child…” She wrapped her arms around the new child, bringing it closer. She closed her eyes and cried with the baby close to her chest.
“My baby…”
~◇~
“Be careful when you play outside, okay, duckling?” Puffy enunciated to her child.
“Yes, momma.” The blond child nodded as his mother gave him a kiss on the forehead, not even needing to bend down to do so.
“And make sure you and Sapnap stay away from trouble, okay?”
Another nod came from the child, and Puffy watched him run out the door.
Puffy did notice that Dream was more peculiar than the other kids. He wasn’t the same kind of different as Bad’s kid; Sapnap was a blaze-born, which was already odd enough to see in the Overworld, but Dream was…Dream wasn’t a hybrid, Or, at least, Puffy never noticed any hybrid traits. What she did notice was that her kid was already insanely tall for his age, but every kid was different, right?
~◇~
“Sapnap!”
“Dream!”
The two kids embraced each other in a swift hug, and they chatted as they walked together to the playground. Once the duo arrived, heads turned to look at them; the children of the flock never truly accepted the two outliers. They weren’t particularly open to other kids who weren’t a part of their flock—especially if they weren’t sheep hybrids like themselves.
However, the other kids minded their own business, and Sapnap and Dream planned to do the same.
“Let’s go climb that tree!” The raven-haired child suggested as he dragged the blond. Dream watched with amusement as Sapnap struggled to climb the tree, snickering.
“Dream, you big idiot! Help me up! Put your height to good use!”
Dream sighed and grabbed Sapnap’s waist to help hoist him to the tree branch. His hands almost wrapped completely around his friend’s waist, and the maneuver barely used any strength from him. Dream frowned as he looked down at his hands, insecure. “Sap, do you think I’m too tall?”
The question surprised the blaze hybrid. Sapnap shot the other a perplexed look as he answered, “Nope! My dad can get really tall, so I’m used to it!” The hybrid watched as the blond stared at the other children playing around, still frowning. Sapnap grinned as he thought of a few games they could play to get Dream out of his mood. Sapnap jumped down the branch and slowly crept up behind Dream.
“Tag, you’re it!”
Sapnap giggled as he ran as fast as his legs could carry him.
“Wha- Sap!”
Dream grinned as he bolted from his spot, chasing his friend. The flock watched as the two ran around the playground, rudely and silently judging them. Sapnap glanced back worriedly, watching as the taller quickly gained on him.
“Wait! Wait! Dream– time out, time out!” Sapnap stammered as he slowed down his steps. Before he could catch his breath, a tall, heavy object collided with his body, and he and Dream both toppled to the ground.
“Looks like you’re it!” Dream teased. He giggled as he pushed himself off the other, Sapnap looking over at him with a grin.
“How about hide and seek?” Sapnap suggested. Dream perked up and nodded. “Okay, I count, and you hide!” Sapnap declared, placing his hands over his eyes.
Dream wasted no time dashing across the playground to the small forest area; he already knew the perfect tree for a hiding spot. The blond propped himself down in the hole under the tree. He distantly heard his friend scream “ready or not, here I come!” but his attention was quickly switched to how low the ceiling in the hole seemed. Dream thought, he was always the tallest of every other person in his peerage—everyone was always shorter than him—which resulted in him being the odd one out. Puffy would constantly reassure him with, “We’re sheep hybrids, we’re just naturally shorter, duckling,” or, “You’re a growing boy, Dream, you’ll be fine.”
Dream’s thoughts were put to a halt when a loud, familiar sounding cry broke through the quiet air. Sapnap! He crawled out of the hole, peeking to see what caused the shrill yell.
A few feet away, Dream watched as his fellow flock pushed around the blaze-born.
“Freak! You aren’t a sheep! You and that tall freak shouldn’t even be part of the flock!” The young sheep hybrid stuck their tongue out as they bullied the poor Nether hybrid.
Dream prowled behind the sheep hybrid, and without a second thought, he grabbed them roughly and pushed them to the ground. “Leave him alone!” Instinctually, the blond bared his teeth as he stared down at the sheep hybrid.
A bold statement then came from the other child. “You both don’t belong in this flock, neither does your mama or papa!”
Then, Dream just snapped.
~◇~
“He didn’t do anything wrong!” Puffy insisted. She couldn’t believe this! Her own brother, being the leader of the flock, was practically saying that he was going to kick out his nephew!
“Puffy- he beat up a kid! Have you seen the state of them? They were bloody and bruised; he wouldn’t even stop crying,” Schlatt explained. “We can’t keep that kid in the flock, we—we don’t even know what he is! He practically mauled that poor lamb.”
“Schlatt, he’s your nephew –”
“No – no, Puffy … my nephew is gone. He was stolen, and that intruder left the boy in the crib. Haven’t you ever stopped to think why they left that kid and took my nephew? Your son?”
Puffy stared, completely outraged at her brother, but she was rendered completely silent. “Please, Schlatt, you can’t take him away…I can’t lose my baby, not again …”
“I’ll…think about it.”
~◇~
“Momma, are you okay?” Dream’s small voice echoed through the room. Puffy hurriedly wiped the tears off her face and put on a smile.
“Yes, duckling, I’m fine.” Puffy gestured to Dream to come closer, which he did. “Duckling, promise me you’ll stop hurting others? It was wonderful that you protected your friends, but you can’t hurt others to do so.”
“I promise, momma…”
~◇~
Puffy was undoubtedly grateful for the fact that Schlatt didn’t kick her kid out of the flock, even after many protests came from the members of said flock. She watched as her kid grew up. The others in the flock were terrified of the fact that her kid, at eight years old, was already towering over most people. But Puffy could feel nothing but love for her little—or rather, not so little— duckling.
“Momma! Can I go to Sap’s house?” Dream asked excitedly as he stared down at her.
Puffy shot him a soft grin. “Just behave yourself, alright?”
The blond grinned as he ran out of his own house and quickly went over to the Nether-born’s house—frankly, it wasn’t too far—and he knocked on the front door. Dream heard a bit of shuffling before the door creaked open, and he faced Bad, Sapnap’s dad.
“Hi, Mr. Halo!” Dream greeted warmly.
“Dream, come in! Sapnap’s been helping me bake muffins for you guys!” Bad announced as they walked toward the kitchen.
“Let’s go play in my room!” Sapnap said, quickly taking off his apron as he ran toward the blond. Sapnap was about to drag Dream with him before his father stopped the two.
“Hold on—I prepared a snack tray for you guys.” The blaze-born groaned as he reached out his arms to grab the tray. “There’s cookies, berries, and of course, muffins!”
Dream and Sapnap snickered as they both ran to Sapnap’s room—Sapnap almost tripping over his own feet. “Let’s build a fort!” The blond prompted as Sapnap set down the tray of food on his nightstand.
They both built the fort, placing the blanket as their roof and grabbing a few chairs to make it more stable. “Let’s both eat in the fort!” Sapnap grinned as he grabbed the tray and pushed it inside the fort. The duo crawled inside their makeshift home and stared munching on the baked goods. Inevitably, the two began to play with their food, even after the countless past protests from both their guardians.
“First one to throw a grape in the air and catch it in their mouth wins!”
Grapes were now lying on the ground around the two as they both aggressively threw one grape after another. Their frustration grew because neither could catch the grapes in their mouths.
“I got it!”
Dream grinned as his words were muffled by the grape in his mouth. Sapnap groaned as he and Dream collected the fallen grapes from the ground.
Hiccup!
“Awh, man!—hiccup—I got the—hiccup—hiccups…” Dream whined as he continued to hiccup. An itching sensation made itself known as Dream struggled with the hiccups.
Hiccup!
Sapnap yelped as their fort tumbled on top of him. He pushed the pillows and blankets off him, and as he slowly unveiled the covers, he was met with his friends, and—was he taller?
“Yo, dude! You just grew!” Sapnap exclaimed, staring in astonishment. Dream grew quiet as his hiccups turned into sobs. Suddenly, Dream started bawling his eyes out and pulled his knees closer. Sapnap panicked.
“Dad! Dream’s crying!”
“What did you do, Sap?—What did you two muffin heads do?!”
~◇~
“Hey Bad! What’s up?” Puffy smiled as she stared up at the demon—to be fair, Bad was far from what demons were normally like—but Bad seemed out of breath, as if he ran in a hurry to her house (he did).
“Puffy—uhm…Dream kind of grew? Like, he’s probably taller than me in my demon form, now…”
“What?!” Puffy stared at him in disbelief, quickly grabbing her keys and locking the door as she began to head to Bad’s house.
“Sap explained that him and Dream were just eating in their blanket fort and Dream got the hiccups, and suddenly I’m giving Dream a giant blanket because his clothes are ripped–” They were both running and Puffy wasn’t able to give Bad a verbal response, but instead a worried look. Once they arrived at Bad’s house, they rushed to Sapnap’s room.
“Momma–” Dream cried as he clutched the blanket that Bad gave him.
“Oh, my poor duckling, are you okay?” As the sheep hybrid comforted her son, Bad gestured for Sapnap to follow him to give the mother and son some privacy.
“Momma, am I a monster?”
“Duckling, no! You aren’t a monster, you’re just…different.” She tried to be reassuring in her answer, but her words trailed off as she took in just how big her son actually grew—it was at least seven extra feet!—The two stood in silence as Puffy soothed her child.
A problem that would later arise was how Puffy was supposed to return Dream to their home without him being seen.
“Bad, is it okay if we stay until night? It’ll be easier for me to sneak Dream back into our house…” Puffy asked sheepishly.
The demon was more than willing to allow them to stay for a bit. “Of course, Puffy! The kids are still playing, anyway.”
“Dream, this is literally so cool! You’re like a giant now!” The blaze hybrid was way more excited than the blond, but he was attempting to hype him up.
“I guess…” Dream replied with a small smile.
The following hours were spent with the two boys figuring out how to play with their new size difference and the two adults trying to sew an outfit for Dream.
“Dream, it’s time to head home!” Puffy called as she continued to speak with Bad. “Are you sure it’s okay to leave the clothes here? It’s still not finished, so if you want, I can finish it. It’s for Dream, anyway–”
“No, no, it’s fine, Puffy! I’ll finish it! It looks like you’ve got a lot on your plate already…” Bad said, firm.
Just then, the two boys came stumbling into the room, Puffy now getting a clearer look at her boy standing up; she was thankful that Bad had tall ceilings. In Sapnap’s room, Puffy only saw Dream sprawled across his floor, but seeing him stand at his full height made her worry even more.
“Oh, and Bad, I’m sorry for taking your sheets—I’ll return them right away, I swear!” She promised.
Bad and Sapnap stood outside their doorway as they waved goodbye to the mother and son. Puffy carefully guided Dream back to their house. The pitch-black sky assisted in hiding the blond but was not as helpful in letting them return home without bumping into things.
After a few minutes stumbling about, they could distantly see their house; the lights were still on. Once Puffy thought they were in the clear, a deep gasp caught her attention.
“Puffy—what the hell happened?!”
Schlatt.
“Look—look, Schlatt, I can explain.” Puffy panicked as her brother stared up at her son with fear.
“What is he, Puffy?” Schlatt asked with a shaky but serious tone. Puffy sighed as she glanced at Dream, her heart aching at seeing his terrified look.
“Schlatt, even I’m not sure, but I do know that he’s just a kid,” Puffy said. Oh, Prime, she just hopes Schlatt won’t instantly kick him out.
“Duckling, can you please go to your room? Try to be careful-” The blond listened right away, quickly rushing to his room. Surprisingly, he didn’t knock a single thing over on his way. The ram seemed to ease up once Dream left, which caused Puffy to grimace.
“Schlatt, just…please don’t kick him out?” Puffy pleaded with her older brother, eyes solemn.
The older ram stared at her with a concerned look, “I’ll need to speak with the others…” He sighed. “Good night, Puffy.”
~◇~
The next day, Schlatt knocked on Puffy’s door, which caused Puffy to stop everything she was doing and rush to the door. “Schlatt, hi!” She said, heaving for breath.
“Look Puffy, I’m giving this to you straight…” Schlatt began, grimacing at Puffy’s hopeful expression. “We’ve decided that Dream won’t be kicked out…but he’s on thin ice—and the others want him to help with village chores. His height does give him leverage, after all…”
Puffy burst into tears and launched herself at Schlatt, catching him in a tight embrace; she stressed about it the entire night. “Thanks, Schlatt…” She cried happily.
“He’s still my nephew,” Schlatt sighed.
Then, unexpectedly, Dream came running down the stairs, the sheet still draping over his frame. His body seemed to go stiff when his eyes locked onto Schlatt’s. “Hi Uncle Schlatt…” The blond greeted shyly.
“Hey kiddo,” Schlatt grinned as Puffy stood up and wiped the tears on her face. “I thought you’d be out and playing with your friends?” The ram asked and looked at the sheep.
Puffy stuttered. “Oh, uhm, we’re still working on clothes for him…so he’s not going to be outside for a while.” She sighed.
“Do you think his clothes will be ready by next week? The village elders wanted Dream to help fix the playground…”
“Already? He hasn’t even adjusted to his height, and you want him to do work so soon?” Schlatt stared at her, silent. Puffy sighed, knowing she’d have to let Dream help. “I’ll go over to Bad’s today and help him work on the clothes.”
Schlatt nodded and started to leave as Puffy shut the door behind him. Dream stared, looking shy.
“Momma, are you okay?”
“Yes duckling, breakfast is in the kitchen. I made pancakes!” She said with a wobbly grin. The kid excitedly hurried to the kitchen as Puffy’s head dropped.
This was her baby’s life now…

Fantroll picrew is finally past the workshopping stage and well into the final project!
The vast majority of these screenshots are from V2 - V3, as seen in the first screenshot, has a more visible torso. The opportunity for hands and more shirt options seems worth cutting off a bit more of the horns! Meanwhile, the horns are currently set up like a workshop: three options for each side, with different shapes that can be positioned, resized and recoloured, which allows for asymmetry and making the majority of the canon trolls horn shapes relatively easily.
My eye in this is towards ensuring that ancestors as well as modern characters can be made, and in allowing people to mix and match parts in ways that will allow maximum creativity! So far, so good.

Someone wanna tell me why my limp thin wet rat hair, which constantly gives me reasons to despair no matter how much work I put into it, only ever has volume after exercise (+and a lil bit of powdered organic dry shampoo for the grease). Like. How do I go from stringy rat to dora the explorer. Surely there is an achievable inbetween.

Friends in Low Places: Let's Play Tears of the Kingdom
No plot, only hole.
I have finally sucked all the marrow from the bones of Hateno Village's quest scene, so I guess I'll move on, reluctantly but very fashionably.
Not to the main quest, though. I found a funky little cave nearby that led me to the beach and some handy boats parts, so it's a pirate's life for me now.
I hope at least one NPC just watched Link smack his motor to a halt in the middle of the sea and throw himself into the water grab handfuls of colorful fish, then barely make it back to his vessel before drowning. The Hero of Hyrule, everyone
My strategy for clearing the monster strongholds on PIRATE ISLAND involves a lot of hiding and hurling bombs and confusion flowers, like the noble swordsman I am.
I can clear out a pirate cove but clearing the pirates out of the nearby fishing village keeps resulting in their using my ass to swab their metaphorical deck, so I'll wander elsewhere for a bit.
This thing will kick my ass, right? Just absolutely demolish me without breaking a sweat? Let's find out:
Tumblr media
Called it!
Tumblr media
Gonna throw myself into Charybdis over here instead of at Scylla again, on the grounds it can't possibly go worse for me.
Tumblr media
…Huh, finally a stupid thing I've done is both survivable AND in fact a thing I was intended to do:
Tumblr media
Speaking of stupid things, here I am solving a "we took all your equipment, good luck" combat challenge:
Anyway I just remembered I paid ten Poes for directions to an underground Poe-buying statue, so down I go!
This thing will not be my friend even if I ask it very nicely. See, I am capable of learning!
Tumblr media
However, I remain incapable of learning that when I talk to random researchers in the chasms, they will turn into assassins and come after me. Every time I come up like, hello new friend! Lovely day here in the depths, isn't it? I say, what a remarkably swift change of clothes! Are you asking me to admire your sharp knives? I'd be more than happy to, but it's difficult for me to see them clearly when they're moving so quickly at my vital organs, my good chum!
OH my GOD I can magically autobuild from blueprints??? I am WEEPING with joy. Best power. BEST POWER.
AUTOBUILD MY BELOVED
Why, how lovely to make your acquaintance in this dark corner of the chasm, my good fellow! Please do regale me with tales of your research! Researching the sharpness of swords, are you? Splendid! I don't mind telling you that the one you're swinging about now is exceedingly sharp!
MISSION ABORT:
Tumblr media
Hail and well met, my studious fellow! Why yes, I would be most eager to hear about your dissertation! On the topic of stabbing, is it? Of course I'd be delighted to participate in your research!
Call me Spider-Man's ill-fated Broadway debut because I sure am turning off the dark:
Tumblr media
Okay let's remember the world above for a bit. I'm too beautiful to hide myself away forever:
Tumblr media
I enjoyed getting the musicians across a river because they complain a lot about being jostled but I still got to swing them dangerously around quite a bit before they put their fancy feet down. Idk why I'm bothering with Great Fairies, though, because they never want to let me enhance the only clothing I care about.
Another thing I enjoy: abruptly realizing I have been misinterpreting the eye parts of the steward constructs. Pretty sure the game wants me to see the image on the left, rather what I've been seeing on the right:

"Puffy get out here!"
Schlatt...
The sheep hybrid tumbled down the stairs as she raced towards her front door, she flung her front door open as she was met with her very serious, and rather furious, older brother. The ram hybrid sighed as he stared her down.
"Hey JJ- what brings you here, shouldn't you be with Dream at the docks?" She chuckled trepidatiously, her brother pursed his lips before he began to speak. "The elders are scolding him...he may have crushed some of the wood we were going to use."
The ram let out an exasperated sigh, "Look Puffy, I love my nephew, but..." His words trailed off as he stared at her sister's wide, soft eyes. "I can't keep defending him...Everyone's getting pretty..." Another sigh escaped his lips, "Well- everyone is getting pretty scared; I've heard that he almost stepped on some old lady!" Schlatt was about to continue but Puffy spoke first.
"What am I supposed to do Schlatt? He can't control what's happening to him- and it wasn't my decision for him to be going around doing chores! He's a kid, he should be out playing in the fields, not working in them..." Puffy was tired, she was tired of seeing her son come home exhausted; not exhausted from playing, but rather tired from working.
It hurt her as she watched her child lay on his bedroom floor, having to get rid of his bed and furniture for the sake that he would still fit in his room. She remembered the nights her son would cry relentlessly, begging to be held; yet all she could do was gently hug his leg as fat tears rolled down his face.
Now her brother—one of the few people who caused this to happen to her son—stood in front of her criticizing his mistakes once more, how dare her brother have the audacity to take away his childhood and still complain!?
Schlatt let out another sigh, it snapped the sheep hybrid out of her daze. Both stood in awkward silence as the ram hybrid stared down at her with gentle eyes, while she was resistant to meet his own. The two were having a silent war; that they barely noticed another presence arrive, until they were startled by a shadow looming over them.
"Uhm- Uncle Schlatt? We're—we're done with the docks and they told me to go on break..." Dream sheepishly announced as he avoided eye contact, Puffy's heart broke, her boy, despite the fact he towered over everyone in the flock; looked so, so small. The ram hybrid's lips pursed as Puffy began to speak. "Hey duckling, you hungry?" The blond gave a shy nod, still unwilling to meet her eyes.
"There's food in the dining room, I made it all for you so don't worry duckling." She reassured, Dream muttered a grateful 'thank you' as he ushered himself inside the house; needing to bend down to walk around the house. The sheep hybrid turned around to face her brother again, "Look Schlatt- if you have nothing else to say I have stuff I need to do..." He sighed and shook his head.
"Goodbye JJ."
•~☆~•
"Dream can you get the tools over there?" A disheveled middle-aged man gently commanded the blond which he complied too, "Yes sir..." The child simply responded as he took a few strides and bent down to pick up a box full of tools.
It was another day for Dream, he was helping rebuild the town fountain at the core of their little village; which got damaged after some rogue hybrid went into their village and started throwing bombs, luckily another group of hunters came and escorted the hybrid away before anyone got hurt—the blond was especially lucky he wasn't there to be spotted by the said hunters—he stood at his full height and stared at his surroundings, taking in how much damage the bombs did.
A few patches of the streets were affected due to the obvious holes in the ground, and he expected to fix them sooner or later, it was sadly turning into his new normal, barely anything about this was normal. Another abrupt command made his head snap back toward the ram hybrid, "Go get the bricks over there, it's like laying on a wooden platform so get it all." Dream nodded and spotted the bricks atop a wooden pallet, he quickly rushed over and picked up the crates with his two hands.
He was slowly walking back to the fountain, being extremely cautious with the bricks; he was halfway there when he heard a loud feminine voice let out a commanding yell, "Jack! Elliott! Come back here!" Suddenly two children came running his way he lost his footing as the two children were seemingly playing tag, he yelped as one of them ran in front of him and he almost stepped on them.
He panicked as he tripped backward dropping the bricks in the process, shrill shrieks were heard coming from all over the place as bricks flew in every direction. Dust encompassed the area, in all of the chaos he prayed no one got hurt; a cough escaped his lips, as the dust settled down, the two other kids; who were probably around his age were huddled up together, covered in dust and debris themselves.
He watched as numerous amounts of rams and sheep hybrids ran to the duo's aid, a familiar stinging sensation made itself known; yet in the midst of all the chaos he couldn't even focus on anything, everything felt hazy as he sat there with his head limp and arms shaking. And the weird feeling spreading all over his body.
He felt something protruding in his gums and as the chaos began to settle down he grew.
He cried alongside the townsfolk as they all scrambled to get away from him, at that moment he silently thanked his mom and Bad that they put a spell on his clothing to adjust to his size, no matter how tall he was. Pain shot throughout his body, he could barely comprehend whatever the people were yelling.
Suddenly he ceased his movements and dropped to the ground.
•~☆~•
"Captain Puffy!"
Puffy was having a light conversation with Bad that day, they were simply talking about events of the week, trying to have a good time; keyword: trying.
"Oh Samuel? Why are you in such a rush." The sheep hybrid asked as Bad stood beside her respectfully waiting for them to finish. The panicked ram hybrid who was apparently named Samuel was catching his breath, Puffy patiently waited for the other to speak.
"Your son-" He heaved and took a big gulp of air, "He grew right before our eyes! And—and he fainted, Mayor Schlatt told me to get you." As he finished his sentence Puffy bolted from her spot not even saying a proper farewell to the demon hybrid. She almost tripped a few times as she took one step after another.
Other members of the herd who were oblivious of the situation happening at the core of the town gave her weird looks; some even attempted to follow her. More and more people began gathering to see what all the commotion was about. Puffy's thoughts were scattered everywhere as she yelled at people to move to the side.
All of a sudden she crashed against another figure which she quickly realized was her brother, "Schlatt let me go! I need to see him!" Tears began to form at the corner of her eyes as Schlatt held her back. "Please JJ..." Her voice began to grow quiet as Schlatt quietly huffed. "Puffy...I don't—I don't think you should see him right now."
The sheep hybrid was now letting on soft sobs whilst weakly grasping her brother's arm, she could only register the fact more people kept rushing behind them; she so desperately wanted to see what they were up to, what were they doing to her baby?
•~☆~•
Puffy sat at the foot of her bed, she sobbed so much she started to choke; she began to cough and gag as fat tears kept rolling down her face, earlier that day she waved her son goodbye as he left with a bright smile on his face. Now the day turned gloomy and dreadful.
"M-Mom?"
Her son's broken worried voice forced her to lift her head, for a moment she was scared startled to see a luminous emerald green eye stare at her through her window, she quickly pushed down her fear sorrow and walked over to the window, Dream backed up so she could see his face more clearly as she pushed the window open. It was obvious the poor boy had been crying; his eye's were puffy and red, and he was seemingly trembling.
"Oh baby- what's wrong?" She tried reaching out her hand to touch his face, however he stayed put; unmoving and silent. Puffy had no idea what to do at this moment, she could barely see his face as the sun took cover behind the horizons. The last remaining streaks of light highlighting the saddened features of the blond's face.
His mouth opened hesitantly as he stumbled over his words, "Are you okay mama? I-I'm sorry..." Puffy quickly gestured for him to come closer, "You did nothing wrong duckling, it's okay." Tears came back at full force as the now giant leaned against their house, the sheep hybrid could only reach the strands of his hair as she softly touched it—the blond probably didn't even feel it.
Puffy watched as stars began to twinkle in the sky, both simply fell into the haze of comfort and calm as they simply basked in the feeling of each other's comfort; the sheep hybrid gently felt the blond's soft breaths. She quietly went back to her bed and let the child sleep in peace.
With that thought she laid down and slowly drifted off to sleep aswell.
•~☆~•
"Woah dude! I'm sorry- but you look so cool right now!" Sapnap was gawking at the blond boy's new height, they finally got another chance to hang out and they were more than grateful. Dream sheepishly grinned at Sapnap's antics, he felt elated that the other treated him no differently than he did before, no matter what happened.
"I'm guessing you'll only wear one pair of clothes for now?" The blond nodded along as he tapped his fingers against the grass below him, "Y-Yea Mom said until she and your dad figure something out this is my clothes for now." The hybrid simply shrugged and an idea quickly popped up in his head.
"How about hide and seek?" He grinned widely, "We can even go in the forest so it's fair!" The taller hastily nodded and mustered up the courage to stand at his full height; vertigo smacked him as he stared at the difference of the size of his house to himself. Sapnap quickly snapped him out of his thought with the prompt of a race. The blond happily obliged and carefully sprinted towards the ravenette; albeit the blond being as careful as possible Sapnap could still feel the ground softly shake yet he shook his head and thought nothing of it.
As the two now stood in the midst of the forest, Dream was more fixated on the few small scrapes around his legs caused by the branches, it just gave him another reminder on how tall he was at the moment. Sapnap was the first to break the oddly awkward tension, "How about you hide and I seek?", He chuckled at his suggestion yet meekly nodded along.
In the blink of an eye Sapnap was now propped against a tree with his arm covering his two eyes and began to count down, for a moment the green eyed giant stood completely and utterly still, why? He couldn't exactly say, maybe it was the fact he couldn't exactly think of a place to hide or was it the strange noises her could hear, it heard like other people chatting?
Oh he was definitely losing it now.
He suddenly remembered what he was supposed to be doing and sprinted deeper into the forest to the direction of the mountains, he knew he should watch on how far he was going but surely the small caves and taverns he would spot on the way would be a better hiding spot.
The blond quickly halted as he spotted an opening to a cave on the forest floor, somehow he could hear Sapnap's counts getting closer to zero and he bolted inside the cage; he crawled his way in and situated himself—the cramped space gave him a familiar feeling, instead of uncomfort and uneasiness he felt...safe and warm(he couldn't exactly pinpoint why, his thoughts were pretty jumbled up right now)
Dream felt tranquil, his eyes slid shut and purely embraced the feeling. A heavy sigh escaped his lips, his body fell slack as he leaned in closer to the cavern walls.
It was like he felt truly at peace.
An ear-splitting cry broke his valuable silence, in his groggy state of mind he could barely comprehend where the scream came from; until another wail erupted once more. His eyes shot open and his body jumped at the sound as everything became slightly clearer.
Sapnap?
A rush of memories and emotions overwhelmed him, he was torn between remembering the moment a similar instance happened or rush to see the ravenette; it was like his body was on auto-pilot, none of the movements were his, like a foggy cloud sheilding away his sight.
As his hulking figure reached the sound of Sapnap's screams, he watched as a group of hunters were trying to chain the nether-born as he emerged from the forest all the hunters heads snapped towards him, seemingly just spotting their new prey.
"Stop it you shits those are my horns!"
As if history was repeating itself, his movements were dazed, downright feral.
That day blood coated the forest floors and a giant left the forest with a slightly traumatized hybrid.
•~☆~•
"Dream, you okay?" Sapnap asked as he stood before the giant in the drizzling rain, the blond slowly lifted his head, tears mixed with the rain, the only reason the nether-born was sure the giant was crying was the constant hiccups and sobs he would stutter out as he tried to suppress them. Even with the thunderous claps and heavy winds accompanied with the earth's very tears; it felt so, so silent. Sapnap began walking closer, he was greatly startled when the other scrambled away.
"No—no I don't wanna 'urt you..." The giant was shaking his head side to side while mumbling incoherent sentences with pain and panic laced with every word, his lips trembled as he spoke, "Uncle Schlatt a-and the elders said I should stay away from the flock for a while till—till they solve stuff." Without any thought Sapnap walked closer and held his hand out to touch the other.
"Good thing I'm not part of the flock then." He grinned with pride, Dream thought for a moment. He's right, Bad and Sapnap were never welcomed to the flock nor did they try and be part of it; or atleast that's what he thinks.
Even if his body wasn't as tense as before Sapnap sighed and sat beside blond. "For what it's worth I'll always be by your side bud."
"Pandas..."
The ravenette took a moment to cringe at his own words but kept his attention on the other, "Maybe it's best if I leave you know?" He muttered, "Ever since- well this happened to me, everything just...sucks." the nether-born was slightly taken a back with the sudden mature aura the giant gave, maybe he was spending to much time with the elders...
Sapnap was expecting this, he knew Dream was never truly at peace with the town, he thought long and hard before speaking again.
"Well if you do, I'll—I'll join you."
Was he serious? A soft grin made it's way on the taller's face.
"Thanks Sap."
