Female mothfolk x Female reader

Designer lamps, salt lamps, standing lamps, chandeliers, you name it. You had it all. A nifty little shop on the corner of a bustling city, your little space of peace. Customers came in a steady supply, everyone needed a lamp once in a while, and you were content with your calm life in the middle of the busy city.

You were spending a rainy day at your shop, sitting down with a nice hot beverage and a book, expecting a very slow day, when the chime rang, signaling a customer. It was a person covered head to toe, long coat, hat, gloves, sunglasses and a scarf obscuring their identity. You wondered shortly if you were about to get robbed, but the figure began nervously fidgeting around one of your himalayan salt lamps, before grabbing one of them and marching over to the counter. They put it down quietly and pulled out their credit card. You rang them up with a smile and wished them a good day as they rushed their way out into the streets.

Now, it was a fairly cold day, so you didn't think too much about the mystery person for a month. Until they appeared again.

Once again it was raining as they came into the deserted store, nervously looking around as they fiddled with their fingers. This time they chose a globe with a light inside. It wasn't normally what you would carry, but you found them neat as you were ordering your stock for the month, and now you were happy that you did. The person was still silent as they paid for their lamp and left. You once again wished them a good day and went about your own.

The third time it was raining again, but there was another customer in your shop. The mystery person just managed to close the door before freezing as they saw someone else at the counter. It was just a sweet elderly lady who had to have a cable replaced on her old reading lamp.

The person went through your shop quickly, always peeking at the lady who was still talking about what happened to her lamp as you finished the simple repair.

"-So I was very confused when I heard foofy give a yip and so I of course went to check on him, and I swear, I have not laughed that hard in ages, all his fur were standing straight into the air. Turns out he had chewed on the cable, and I simply can't go to sleep without reading before bed, so I had to come out in this dreadful weather-" she rambled on and you smiled at her story. It wasn't the first time someone had a pet bite an electrical cord, fortunately no animal had ever gotten more than a scare. Well except that one dwarf hamster, but they die if you sneeze in their general direction.

You gently handed the repaired lamp back to its owner and she thanked you graciously, paid and left.

The mysterious person saw their chance to get out of the shop and hurried over to the counter with a box of fairy lights. You rang them up, wished them a good day, and once again they left without a word.

This became a regular occurance during the spring, they visisted around once a month, bought a light and left silently.

It was soon summer, and a hot one at that. The mysterious stranger hadn't been around since it became warm, which kinda made sense. You don't know why this person were so insistent on staying anonymous, but you were never one to pry. You were sitting in your usual spot behind the counter, a pitcher with ice cold water beside you and the ceiling fan on max, when you saw the stranger once again. You were quite surprised that they were still wearing the same outfit they used during spring, which would be unbearable in the heat of summer. It looked to affect them too, they staggered slightly when they walked and kept tugging on the collar of their coat. You were slightly worried for them, they didn't seem to be doing so great. They leaned on one of the shelves before their knees buckled under them and they fell to the floor. You jumped out of your chair and hurried over to them. They must be having some kind of heat stroke. You heaved the surprisingly light person to your chair behind the counter and sat them down.

"I am going to take off your outer clothes okay? I am trying to help you" You tried to calm them as you took off their hat and scarf. What greeted you were antennae and a short buzz of white fluff, going all the way down from their head, to under their shirt. You also pulled off the heavy raincoat and gloves, before filling a glass with cold water. You put the glass in their hand, still keeping yours on it, and helped them lift it to their mouth. They drank greedily until it was empty. You turned around to fill the glass again, and as you did so, you heard a slight flapping. You turned around and promptly covered your eyes. The person- woman had taken off her long sleeved shirt and were now sitting in only her bra as her wings were flapping slightly.

"Uh... Ma'am? I think you should go I to the back before someone else enters" You squeaked out, apparently waking her up from her daze.

"Yeah... Okay" The sweetest voice you ever heard in your life answered you. You took your hands away from your eyes, though you still keot your gaze at the floor, and offered her your arm. She groaned as she stood up.

"Urgh... I feel sick" She sounded miserable. You opened the door to the back and led her in.

"Yeah, heat can do that to you. You can cool down back here and I'll go get you some more water. If you need to throw up, I have a trashcan by the door" You sat her down on one of the boxes and went back out into the shop. A customer has entered while you were occupied with the woman, so you quickly told the person that you would be back soon, before hurrying the pitcher of water out to the woman. She grabbed the pitcher and started gulping water like there was no tomorrow. Satisfied that she seemed to be slightly better, you tended to the customer. As soon as the transaction was over, you grabbed the discarded clothes and went to check on the woman in the back. She was holding the empty pitcher close to her as she was looking around. She had taken off her sunglasses, and you could now see her large pitch black eyes. Paired with the wings and the fluff she had on her whole body, you quickly determined her to be a mothfolk. She looked back at you, before quickly looking at the floor.

"I- I am sorry, please don't tell this to anyone" She sounded very ashamed.

"Hey, don't worry. I usually don't run around talking about how people almost fainted in my shop" You gave her the clothes you had taken from her earlier. She looked up at you and looked away again. She bit her lip.

"That's not... I know it's funny. A total stereotype for a mothgirl to frequent a lamp store. I get it. I won't come back again" She sighed and hang her head.

"Why would it be funny?" You asked quietly, not really understanding her apprehension. She curled even more into herself, hugging the pitcher as if it was a stuffed animal.

"I can't sleep without looking at a light, but I keep breaking them. This is the only place that doesn't know who I am. But I guess that is over now" She sounded as if she was close to crying. You sat down on the floor in front of her.

"I don't think it's weird. I like light too. I mean, I opened a whole ass shop about it, so I kinda understand what you mean" She looked at you.

"I don't really know the stigmas about mothfolk, but I don't mind you visiting. As long as you don't give yourself a heat stroke again" You gave her a gently smile, which she hesitantly returned. You then cleared your throat.

"Well, I will let you get dressed again. Use as much time as you need to cool down back here. There is more water in the fridge over there" You stood up and left a slightly flustered mothgirl behind.

After your first official meeting with "Clarrisa" as she told you to call her, her monthly visits continued. You learned a lot about her, how she really liked oranges, that she worked as a programmer and how she always fluttered her wings when she giggled. You had developed a friendship over the autumn, and Christmas was around the corner. You wanted to give Clarrisa a gift, though you had no idea what it should be. You had been wracking your brain trying to come up with something, but it only came to you as you were absentmindedly browsing a catalogue for new items for your store. A Bluetooth lamp, which projected a coloured night sky onto the ceiling. This would be the perfect gift, you just hoped that she would like it.

With the gift neatly wrapped and placed under your counter, you waited for Clarrisa. Christmas was a fairly busy time for your shop, and you made a good amount of money by selling Christmas lights. But all you could think about was how Clarrisa would react to your gift.

As the days passed, you became more and more anxious. Clarrisa had not been in your shop for a couple of weeks, and you started to overthink the past couple of interactions with her. Had you come off too strong? Did she not feel comfortable in your shop anymore? Had she found another lamp store?

All the questions were driving you crazy, and it only got worse the closer you got to Christmas.

At the last day your shop was open, you resigned yourself to the idea that Clarrisa wasn't coming. You were just putting on your jacket as you heard frantic knowing on the front door.

"We are closed!" You yelled over your shoulder, but the knocking persisted.

"I said- Clarrisa?" and it was indeed her standing out there, and you hurried to open the door. She was standing in the snow, no coat on and breathing heavily. You ushered her in, closing the door after her.

"What are you doing out in this weather without proper clothes? I'm starting to think you have misunderstood the idea of coats" You brushed some of the snow off her fluff.

"Well I..." She fidgeted with the hem of her shirt, and you gave her time to find her words. She sighed deeply, shuddered, then looked back up at you.

"I wondered if you would like to come have hot chocolate at my place?" She asked, then looked back down at her feet.

"I mean, if you have the time, it doesn't have to be now, I just thought-" You placed you hand on her shoulder and smiled.

"I'd like that" You said softly. She smiled back.

"Though, you are borrowing one of my jackets, you must be freezing" You went into the back to get a jacket for yourself and her, sneaking her gift into your pocket.

She shook her wings free from snow and tucked them under the jacket you lent her, still looking slightly flustered. You turned off the rest of the lights and followed Clarrisa outside.

Clarrisa lived in a small and cozy flat in the outskirts of the city. It was filled with personal touches, small things that made the space feel lived in. She had a 3d printer occupying a portion of the small living room, her walls had pictures of family members and the entire place smelled like her citrus perfume. She nervously cleared a bunch of papers from the coffee table with a muttered apology and asked you to sit in her small sofa while she made the hot cocoa she had promised. You could hear her moving around the kitchen, the distinct whirring of a microwave being started before she suddenly spoke up.

"I'm sorry I haven't been to the shop this month" You turned around to face her.

"I have been working on something, but I couldn't quite get it right. I panicked today when I realised that it was the last day I could see you" She moved over to her desk and pulled out a small packet from behind her computer.

"I wanted to give you this. Merry Christmas" Her hand shook as she gave you the gift. You opened it carefully and a small 3d printed figure fell out. It was a little cat figurine.

"God, it is such a lame gift, I understand if you wanna leave now or something" She scratched the fluff on her neck nervously as you inspected the small figurine. It was very well made.

"Well, I like it. It is cute. Thank you" She looked at you surprised for a moment before giving you a bashful smile. You then plucked out the present from your pocket and gave it to her.

"Merry Christmas" She took it with a curious expression, turning it in her hands before opening it. She gasped as she saw what it was. She looked from the gift to you, and then back again. And then she launched herself at you, engulfing you in the most comfortable hug you've ever had.

"Thank you" She whispered. You hummed in confirmation. The moment was interrupted by the beeping of the microwave and she slowly let go of you, not looking you in the eye.

"I'll just uhh... Get those" She mumbled and went to fetch the mugs of cocoa.

A few minutes later you both had your steaming cups of cocoa with whipped cream on top. You quickly fell into comfortable conversation, the earlier nervousness forgotten. You both talked for so long that it had gotten very late, and it seemed that the both of you had fallen asleep on the sofa. You woke up cuddled into the softest fuzz and felt more warm and comfortable than ever before in your life. Clarrisa had her hand securely around your waist, still snoring softly into your hair. You could get used to this

My rabbits in the style of Watership Down 1978 film

14 rabbits in order of when I had them.

The poses are from scenes in the film. drawn freehand and then outlined in fineliner. They are painter with Windsor and Newton watercolours.

The urge to not have a single wrong line or colour outside made me redo this multiple times. I had to force myself to be complacent with defects or it would never have been mostly finished.

Actually did this piece in 30 May 2023. But waited to colour the final rabbit in Black otter. Since I never got her, leaving that space blank.

Posting due to my irrational fear of a fire consuming everything I own. Now I have a digital copy.

Rabbits in order of ownership are: 1. Holly my first rabbit and mixbreed albino doe, 2. Clover a chinchilla mix doe, 3. Arlo a harlequin lop/dwarf cross buck with half lop ear, 4. Hairoo my marten smoke pearl Netherland dwarf doe, 5. Mimi my red eyed white Rex doe. 6. Jack my black Netherland dwarf buck. 7. Caramel my orange Dutch cross doe. 8. Jasmine my Himalayan pattern Netherland dwarf doe. 9. Vibri my black otter lion head cross doe. 10. Amber my yellow Dutch doe. 11. Violet my black broken dwarf lop doe. 12. Juno my black mini rex doe 13. Bramble my Tri Dalmatian mini rex buck. 14. Pepsi my black mini rex doe.

Currently the ones I own are Amber, Juno, Pepsi and Jasmine.

@lepurcinus @themarginalthinker @mekanikaltrifle @robotslenderman finally posting this after so long.

That’s ok, in that case what would you suggest? Mini rexes?

Also yeah that list would be awesome if it isn’t a bother lol

mini rex are great but depending on where you are they're VERY competitive. i know a lot of MR people in washington and unless you have money to drop on some real good rabbits i wouldn't start there either haha.

in general, these things are gonna be pretty regional depending on how competitive you want to get and how much disposable income you have to throw at rabbits. going to shows can get you a better idea of what's around and what's popular.

in general though i like to point people to breeds like californian, new zealand, and florida white when they're starting. boring? yes. but they are easy to find, usually very typey, and a barn full of rabbits that all look alike will really teach you how to look at the body rather than the colours, which is probably THE most important fundamental skill.

fur breeds like satin/mini satin, rex/mini rex, silver fox, etc. can be very typey but the fur is an added difficulty that can be fun to some and absolutely brutal for others. people tend to love fur breeds (because who doesn't want to drown in rex fur) so they can be quite competitive, and often the act of breeding will ruin fur quality, especially in does (something to do with hormones and the fact that does pull fur for nests.) satins/mini satins also have the added bonus of having really horrible personalities.

Woolies, angora, and fuzzy lops require a LOT of grooming and that may be fun for some and really intimidating for others. If it's not done appropriately it can lead to matting and wool block so not really something you can slack on. also, most wool breeds don't have a lot of meat since all their nutritional resources go into fur production.

my favourite little guy with an added Thing to make it interesting though is dutch. they're a marked breed, which can be really frustrating, but they're also very easy to tell at birth if they're worth growing out. they're compact, generally very typey, and also make really great little meat bricks (which is nice for all those culls you'll be doing if you aren't doing it in the nest.) unfortunately in washington there is basically zero competition.

i am not very familiar with the upright/running breeds so i can't really comment on those, except that in general full-arch may not be beginner friendly due to their space requirements, high strung personalities, and the fact that most of them are marked breeds.

as i said before i also don't touch dwarf breeds in general but in my area holland lops are so popular that they'll often have a judge doing nothing BUT that breed at local shows. netherlands and lionheads are also really popular. i have no idea how difficult they are to show necessarily, i just know how many i see at any given local lol. i like papillons a lot but they're still a little difficult to find, and brittania petites are demons in physical form, but they are pretty typey and seem easy to find.

mandolin is another group i'm not super familiar with but from what i understand they are not hard to show just difficult to find. most of them are also pretty big and can have difficult housing requirements due to their size. big bunnies don't make as much meat, grow slower, and don't live as long so keep that in mind.

and of course i have not forgotten about the most perfect animal in the world: the himalayan. truly the ideal shape. the ideal size. the ideal "personality", if you can call it that. i think everyone needs a himalayan in their life. unfortunately though they don't have a lot of meat on them.

the other two cylindrical breeds, holicers and czech frosties, are having new/rare breed difficulties despite how pretty and meaty they are.

ultimately like...any breed is good. but if you have never bred rabbits and definitely haven't shown before, some are easier to get involved in than others. i started in mini lops and standard rex and i almost quit showing altogether because rex frustrated me so much lol. shifting to different breeds helped me realise the type of showing i enjoy doing (i am not particularly competitive though i enjoy having a little competition - but mostly the Projects are what i enjoy when it comes to rabbits) and the breeds that clicked with me. now, i ended up with two really awful ones, but i now have experience with spicy rabbits and have the knowledge and experience to know how to move forward with the project of hotots, which is very fun for me.

there aren't a lot of resources out there on how to get started and what you're looking for in showing rabbits unless you're in 4H, ARBA youth clubs, or are lucky enough to find a mentor. making it easy on yourself at first is the way to go (or at least have on easy and one harder breed.) that being said, i'm trying really hard to build some non-discord resources for people, especially adults, who are new to rabbits to help them. because genuinely, it's hard out there for us.

this was a real essay but clearly i love infodumping about rabbits and i have onions about showing as someone who started in my mid-20s.

anyway please get into rabbits

Wonderful Top 7's

Top 7 Walt Disney World Queues (a.k.a. Where You Wait In Line P.S I Am Counting Interactive Elements And Pre-Shows)

#7: Pirates of the Caribbean: Pirates of the Caribbean is a pretty iconic ride and as a bonus, it comes with a pretty iconic queue. You wind your way through a dilapidated Spanish fort with cannons, dungeons, and skeletons while George Bruns' Pirates Overture plays in the background granting a sense of whimsy and intrigue to the setting. All before you reach the boat loading station set under a starry sky with a pirate ship floating in the background. Great stuff and it even comes fully air-conditioned which is certainly a plus.

#6: Star Tours: To put it simply, this queue oozes Star Wars fanservice and fun all throughout. You start off winding through a movie set of Endor before heading into a large area with your ride vehicle alternating instances of R2-D2 and C-3PO performing diagnostics while bantering and travel videos for locations throughout the Star Wars galaxy. Then you ascend several ramps containing more hilarious banter from droid security from reaching the pre-show. It's almost disappointing that it goes by so fast due to the ride's large capacity (almost).

#5: Peter Pan's Flight: Since it is a homing beacon for the young and young at heart inside another homing beacon, Fantasyland has several queues with many interactive elements to keep those idle hands very busy indeed. While The Many Adventures of Winnie The Pooh and Seven Dwarfs Mine Train do this really well too, I'm going to give the spot to Peter Pan's Flight. The recreation of the Darling's Nursery, playing with the shadows, Tinker Bell flying around, it makes you feel like you stepped into the original film more than any other attraction. Most certainly a step up to the originally sparse fairground decor.

#4: The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror: To be honest, it's the brief middle portion of this attraction's queue that is mostly responsible for its placement. The dilapidated, abandoned lobby of the Hollywood Tower Hotel is a spectacle dripping with mystery and atmosphere followed up by the second most iconic pre-show of all time. Although, to T4's credit, the (at least in my opinion) legitimately creepy boiler room and the overgrown and slightly angled exterior are both impressive in their own way and manage to help sell the ride's off-kilter vibes. But man, that middle part is worth the wait alone...the attraction is too.

#3: Flights of Passage: When WAITING for the attraction feels like an adventure in of itself. This queue is super long and the designers made use of that length by giving guests a smorgasbord of Pandoran environments. You walk through a jungle waterfall, winding caves, a overgrown bunker teeming with bioluminescence, a functioning lab with a bunch of fantasy science projects and a big blue man in a tube, all before you reach the main bunker, loading areas, and pre show with awkward intern and Sigourney Weaver's descendent who looks exactly like Sigourney Weaver. Quite a lot before you sivako (rise to the challenge).

#2: Expedition Everest: Detail is something that Walt Disney Attractions have excelled at and this ride is the grand prize winner. Your runaway tea train ride through the Forbidden Mountain starts in the Himalayan hamlet of Serka Zong where you pass shrines dedicated to mythical Yeti, a mountain climbing supply store run by two newcomer entrepreneurs, and an entire Yeti museum offering history and even evidence of the reclusive guardian's existence. Not only does it truly feel like you've stepped halfway around the world but it's a queue that tells the full prelude to the story of the attraction without the need of a pre-show video or presentation. Simply fantastic.

#1: The Haunted Mansion: Kind of an obvious pick but it's an obvious pick for a reason. This queue has it all. You have the ookie spooky atmosphere. You have all the fun games and activities to do while you wait. You have the Easter eggs in the graveyard. You have the most iconic attraction pre-show of all time. It even has partial air-conditioning. The only thing that would make it even better is if it had even more chills running down your spine as you made your way into Gracey Manor...as in full air-conditioning...because it can be very hot in Florida.

WELCOME TO JAUKLANS, WHERE EARTH HAS NEVER BEEN MORE ALIEN!

Jauklans is a terrestrial planet, and the second orbit from its yellow-dwarf star, known as !'uo in Dilajun which is the sole source of heat and light which enables this planet to harbour life as we know it. It is the only planet in its star system that holds liquid water, which covers 70-75% of its surface - the larger portion of said water is salty seas and oceans. To outside observers, not 'aliens' per say but Humans, this world is remarkable in its similarity to the planet Earth. The continents are in the same locations, and Jauklans' life - at least in their most basic structure and cladistic definitions, can be said to be identical to Earth's flora and fauna. Beyond superficial generalisations, Jauklans is as alien a place can get whilst remaining recognisable to Earthlings. Though the continents share the same shape, a closer inspection shows major discrepancies; the south pole is an empty, frozen ocean for Antarctica has remained conjoined to its eldest sibling Australia. California is actually an island, a great fresh water ocean exists in Africa, and the Himalayan mountains do not exist - in their place is an ocean left by an incomplete Indian collision with Asia. Along with this, it seems that Jauklans is more 'hospitable' than Earth itself, with a significantly reduced presence of deserts and grasslands and seemingly no sign of severe pollution nor artificial climate change. Due to the fortunate acts and decisions of Jauklans' dominant and only sapient species - Commesapiens umbroculus - it appears as if the global ecology of this planet has remained without significant change since the Commesapien species developed civilisation, and unlike on Earth there has been no concern about an 'Anthropocene Extinction Event'. The most peculiar part about this world, ruled by a species of dinosaurian, is that Jauklans shows no sign of a prior extinction having happened either.

how I would redefine the "antelopes" if I could control it.

These first two groups are closer to cattle than the others

nilgai are nilgai, 4-horned antelope now go by the local name Chousingha, or dwarf nilgai if we need to talk about these two together as "nilgai'.

Spiral-horned antelope are now "dualicorns" or Tragelaphs, (Tragelaph's being mythical goat/deer hybrids they get their name science name from) depending on your level of whimsy. Mountain nyala are now balbok. Lesser Kudu I'm now gonna call the Mose's Tragelaph for being native to both sides of the red sea.

The following groups are progressively close to goats

impala are just impala

Suni, are now eastern Suni, bate's antelope is western Suni.

the Antilopinae (gazelles and close relatives) get to stay antelopes. gazelle taxonomy is a mess right now so if gazelle is paraphyletic let's just widen what is an gazelle.

If you want, we can keep calling the duikers and the Klipspringer antelopes to, your call. No real opinion either way.

I don't have a great name for the Reduncinae, Reduncins? pondbucks? backwardsbucks? Either way 2 of 5 species in the genus Kobus are lechwe and they don't seem to be particularly related so now I'm calling all the Kobus members lechwe's.

the alcelaphinae (Tsessebe, hirola, hatebeest, both wildebeest species, bontebok) are now all beests, or bests, I like the idea of a group of animal's simply called "beasts" but best might lessen confusion. The grazing-antelopes I could call "Hipotrags" but that doesn't feel catchy enough, instead I'll create a pormantaue based on their facila markings of "badger " "hart"( an archaic term for doe) and get "badgehart" the Swahili name for Sable antelope, mbarapi, is sometimes used in English, so now Sable antelope's are sable mbarapi and roan antelopes are roan mbarapi, and the extinct bluebuck is blue mbarapi for good measure.

we don't need the term goat-antelope, anything closer to a sheep than a wildebeest is now just called a Caprine. Tibetan antelope are now only by the local name Chiru.

I wanted to use a native word for the Rocky Mountain goat but had trouble, so for now it's the american takin and the Takin is the asian takin, we can call the extinct species Harrington's Takin. Myotragus can just be Myotragus instead of Cave-goats.

Barbary Sheep are now just Aoudad, 3 unrelated species are "Tahr", Himalayan Tahr had it first so now they're just Tahr. for Nilgiri Tahr I'll take their Tamil name Varaiiadu. I can't find the local name for the Arabian Tahr so for now it's the Eastern Aoudad,

Bonus! "deer"!

Musk deer are the sister group to bovids, I really honestly like the genus name Moschus, I think it's catchy enough to double as a common name. The sister group to those two, the Chevrotians, or mouse-deer, stay Chevrotians.
