#the critters do as well

[jamiscrazy4krerdly]

Probably the first sign that Krerdly has heavily impacted (and was going to continue impacting) my life was the comedic socks incident, something that haunts me to this very day. Just about every waking moment is dedicated to pondering the ins and outs of the time I spent in that hat store. How did every choice in my life lead up to that moment? And where oh where had I gone wrong? That’s the kind of turmoil I faced that fateful Sunday afternoon. /s

So I brought I wanna say $50 to the most touristy location in my city. I was planning to simply walk around and just enjoy my time. Take in my surroundings and touch grass and whatnot. While I was dawdling I got, like, matcha flavored boba (because I wanted to get into boba) and a lavalamp (because I REALLY wanted a lavalamp. It was like twenty bucks but also it was a VOLCANO lava lamp!! Guys. It’s as lava as a lava map can get! It was toootally worth splurging on) and I was having like the time of my life, right?

Well I decided to visit my favorite hat store while I was in the area. I’m not really the hat type but this hat store had a sock section that introduced me to a whole new world!! Get this. Knee-high socks… with curse words. On the socks. Like, sentences. There were sentences with swear words. On the socks!! Oh my goodness, teenager me ate that shit up for breakfast the first time they saw them. I wrote them on my Christmas wish lists every year, despite the fact I would never get any. Regardless! The very notion paved the way to me becoming my own person. Basically all my individuality originates from these socks. It’s still crazy. I’M crazy.

But little did I know that that day those socks would betray me. I was admiring the socks, giggling at some of the funnier ones that I wasn’t expecting, and was considering buying a pair myself when all of a sudden I came across this like lime green and primarily blue pair of socks. The words written on them formed a sentence like “shut the hell up I’m gaming” and it. Flipped a switch. In my brain. Gamers. GAMERS! It ruined me.

The Berdly kinny in me couldn’t resist. I needed those socks. But like, I thought I didn’t really like the color blue? Now I directly relate the color to Berdly, which makes me like the concept of it ten times more, but at the time I was like fighting myself over it. I didn’t want these socks, for personal reasons, but I also NEEDED those socks, for kinning reasons. I wouldn’t wear them (probably?) but I needed to own them and for them to be in my collection. That stupid pair of socks had to be mine!

But then, I saw it.

I don’t even remember it now but the logical part of me just had to make an assumption, and it was right: there were Kris kinning socks there too! It must’ve been the colors or the attitude or SOMETHING but those Kris-flavored pair of socks were fated to be another victim of the bugs in my brain.

So I just, bought them both, right?!?!?

Omg.

You’re too funny.

I found another pair of socks that resembled Berdly. Socks, that my brain decided he would wear. He’s. A fucking. BIRD. HE DOESNT WEAR SOCKS. HE HAS TALONS!!

So clearly I was losing it. I rapid-fired a list of texts to my best friend, explaining to them my absolutely absurd situation. What of the cute pair of pink socks that I wanted to actually wear on my own accord? What of the sad state of my wallet that wouldn’t survive more than two pairs of these aesthetically pleasing socks? What about LUNCH? Was I going to have enough to EAT? My friend did not respond, they had not seen my texts in time.

I stared desperately at the rows of funny socks placed enticingly before me. It’s then when I realized our roles had been reversed! I had become the laughing matter. These socks, they were the ones pointing and cackling and crying tears of joy. The prey had become the predator. The hunter had become the hunted… I knew then that I wouldn’t make it out of that store alive.

I stood there dumbfounded for at least ten minutes. Perhaps even fifteen. I’d been all alone. Left to my own devices. In the sock section of a hat store. The lava lamp weighing down my tote bag and the matcha boba swirling in my stomach was no longer a comfort to me. The only thing I had left to rely on was myself.

I took advantage of the process of elimination, reached out my hand, and grabbed the pair of socks I had decided on. The cute pink ones, which I was planning to legitimately wear. “Of course!” I thought to myself, grinning like the idiot I was. “The choice was obvious!”

So then why had I spent 15 minutes in that hat store?

I still haven’t worn those socks.

…

Soooo for this post I actually decided to go back and purchase all the pairs of socks I had set my delirious eyes on (along with some extras!!). Now you can all see them for yourselves, and hopefully I’ll stop laying awake at night thinking about them!!! Woohoo!

Behold! The reason behind my madness! In order from Berdly kinning socks, to Kris kinning socks, to Berdly kinning socks again! (A Krerdly sock sandwich!)

“Fuck off, I’m GAMING”

The audience shook their heads in shame. “That’s your mans?” (Yes. I was enabled by a pair of cyber-world style socks that mentioned gaming. Is that so bad?)

“go away I’m introverting”

Hiding behind that mug is surely a devil’s smile. I can come up with like 10 reasons why this sock in particular gives me Kris vibes but at the time it was really just the hair, wasn’t it…

“PRETTY DECENT BOYFRIEND”

Ok let’s be honest, Berdly wouldn’t be humble enough to buy these socks for himself (if, and I cannot stress this enough, he could wear socks) but look at the colors!! We’ve got some solid yellows and blues in there. Also there’s stripes!!! Everyone knows Berdly loves stripes? Yeah there’s like no defending this I was just seriously losing it at the time…

HEY GAMERS speaking of losing it: the hat store actually had a buy 5 get 1 free deal for the socks section, so I got more kinning socksss!!

Yippee!!!! I love making poor financial decisions in hopes of satisfying my hyper fixation!

“DRAGONS AND WIZARDS AND SHIT”

I have never seen truer socks. Dragons and Wizards and shit!! What else is there possibly to say? There’s no doubt in my mind that these socks give Berdly vibes. Side-note: I should really try to get into DND.

“I’M A DELICATE FUCKING FLOWER”

Okokok, this one actually needs an explanation. Some of you might recall me mentioning Deltaswap in my Catti post? Basically this sock actually sort of resembles my Deltaswap interpretation of Kris where they’d get to be more influenced by their flower dad (Asgore) which eventually leads to them getting a shit ton of plant related tattoos. This is partly due to the fact Kris needs something to make them look fucking badass (since they’re swapped with Susie).

Does any of that make any sense?

Gosh, I’m so excited to share with you all my take Deltaswap in the future. For now, socks!

“yay”

Guysss, hear me out. If you pretend they’re doing latte art in a cup of hot chocolate and you really focus on the blue and green hues then it totally makes sense that these are certified krerdly socks!! ALSO! I kind of just really wanted to bring a momento with me because while I was trying to find the similarities between Krerdly and… socks, I came across this design and was like “wow a krerdly coffee shop AU sounds fucking awful, I would love to write that absolute mess”. So now I permanently have that stuck in the back of my mind!!

A coffee shop AU doesn’t actually sound that bad but I headcanon Kris as Demiromantic so I can just kind of imagine barista Berdly instantly pining on Kris for one reason or another and they’re so put off by it that they never get coffee where he works ever again. Common Berdly L. Decrescendo womp womp womp.

Okayy I need to wrap this up. If anyone wishes to browse these various socks for themselves (it will not be a waste of your time I assure you) then the brand is “Blue Q”. However the sixth pair of socks (the coffee one with the latte art) was instead made by the brand “Sock it to me”!

And lastly, here’s a snippet of me messaging my friend on the day of the incident.

TL;DR

I found socks that reminded me of Krerdly and proceeded to go batshit crazy over it.

@realizinau, thank you for fueling my poppy playtime hyperfixation lol

(so much so I made a side blog so my mutuals don't have listen to me go on for hours ;v;)

Anyway I really liked your au so I drew a smiling critter oc for it :)

Mr. Scrappy Possum✨️✨️

Had fun creating him!! And I hope you like him ^^

His great anxiety makes it hard for him to interact with the kids, so he mostly hides away in some corner. He'll sometimes take his turtleneck and pull it over his face. Scrappy is very clumsy too, and drops almost anything you hand him, he is really sweet however and is willing to sit in silence with a kid for company if they need it. He also enjoys hanging out with Crafty and Bubba.

I don't have much story wise, but I may work on it idk (I'm weird with stuff like that lol)

Hiiii! I don’t know if your art reqs are open, but can you draw some non binary birds? Thanks and have a great day!!!!

Neither you or @iamchaos1234 specified exactly what kind of bird or parrot you wanted, so allow me a moment to indulge in some Australian bird propaganda. I hope you enjoy your critters!

Jellyfish Grotto

Space Riders AU - @onyxonline Eve Ewe - @lavendersartistry

This is a angst/wholesome fic for onyxonline's Space Riders AU! This is mainly centered on the headcanoned friendship between DogDay and my OC Eve Ewe! Please check Onyx out, their work is super cool!

IN MY LIL GOOBER BRAIN AND MY PARTICIPATION, THEY ARE FRIENDS YOUR HONOR- Now onto the fic✨✨

The gardens of the palace seemed so silent since the last visit of schooling children touring the home of the soon-to-be queen. It was nice to have the planet still lively after the loss of their late royals from the war, despite the princesses going different paths to keep their home afloat.

Eve could only glance back at the throne room from the gardens, resting under the star wisteria as she quietly read. She couldn't get the memories from her head about the war. It felt like only yesterday that it was announced by the council that her coronation would be near.

If only she could have saved-

"Princess? Are you alright?"

Eve suddenly flinched at the sound of someone calling for her and quickly turned her head. She sighed, noticing it was only her friend DogDay.

"I'm alright. And please, we went over this. You can call me Eve or Evie, friends don't have to be formal."

The captain scratched the back of his head in embarrassment and sat next to the princess. To him, it felt like not too long ago when they first met each other. And befriending a princess, a almost queen, felt too much of a dream to the sunshine critter.

"I know, but I can't really help it. You're becoming big top while I'm just a captain. Besides, I don't think the council or your guard would like it if I just called you that."

Eve stifled a laugh and closed her book, leaning her back to the trunk of the tree.

Ever since she was 5, the council was harsh on her. From lady etiquette to lessons on all preparation for becoming queen of her planet, Eve never truly got to enjoy the life of a normal person. To meet friends, to find love.

Just being happy.

"Those old birds would have the stingrays after you if that happened. But don't worry about Bolt, he's just protective."

DogDay rolled his eyes yet smiled at his friend's enthusiasm. He looked up to the stars, suddenly frowning at the forcefield that clouded the clear sight of the twinkling lights.

He knew that it was necessary, after the war. And with the Prototype out creating chaos, it was definitely needed. But he couldn't shake away the feeling from when Bolt informed him about Eve's dream that one night.

It was a vision, a written destiny almost. And the sunny hound couldn't let that fate take away his friend.

"So what were you reading? Seemed a bit uneventful."

Eve looked back at her book and grazed her hand at the leather covering.

The book was about the biology of the planet's most docile creature: Astral Jellyfish. It was a favorite of Eve's and it was a pleasant memory to see a very large one for the first time.

"The astral jellyfish. You know, my favorite creature in all my planet?"

"You mean the one creature that stung me?"

Eve burst out laughing at his comment while DogDay lightly glared at her.

"It's not funny!"

"It's actually a little funny!"

DogDay huffed and crossed his arms in protest to her laughing but he couldn't help but let a little smile appear on his face to see her laugh and be happy for once.

Eve quickly calmed herself and smiled back.

"You should give them another try. Maybe this time, you won't startle it and it'll let you pet it."

The captain groaned again and stood up.

"How long will you remind me of that?"

"Till you're a veteran."

"Great..."

The hound was being sarcastic. As long as something made the princess smile despite the rough times, that was enough for him.

The two kept conversing in the silence in the gardens: talking about the crew's wacky moments during missions, meeting the mysterious "Angel", Eve's stressful schedules, and other things.

Unbeknownst to them, the astral jellyfish had already welcomed themselves in mindlessly. A few rested near Eve while others floated around DogDay and some pestered him.

Eve could only hold back a laugh as the captain tried shooing away the creatures.

"Still not a fan of them?"

"The day I pet them is when I let CatNap drive the ship for a mission."

[carnivalcarriondiscarded]

wondering about Frank and insects but specifically about how it looks like the WH insects are highly stylized, so does Frank even know anything about real butteflies/insects?

& if he saw a real one, would he recognize it? are all of the species names he applies to the WH bugs real, or are they all made up like "Vibrant Eyespot" or "Fluttering Heartwing"?

and then there's the question - does the neighborhood have some of the more 'undesirable' bugs like moths, worms, roaches, spiders? does it have bugs outside of the generic groups of beetles and butterflies? like are there mantids? leafbugs? dragonflies? weevils? or are those too specific/complex/not-cute for the Playfellow Workshop to have included?

and then there's the question of what are the bugs? props? puppets? are they alive or do the neighbors just perceive them as such? Do they even exist outside of art, storybooks, and animated segments? I highly doubt they're alive like the neighbors are, since in the gif of Frank's head spinning, the framed butterflies' wings are moving. which is kind of horrifying if you think about it for more than a second.

just... the critters Frank loves so so so much being a complete fabrication... every piece of knowledge he prides himself on / delights in knowing being utterly Untrue... oof

#by not-cute i mean that most bugs dont sell well as marketable plushies #cute butterflies? round adorable beetles? those fit right in with a vibrant puppet-y world #so it'd make sense if those are the only two bug groups that exist #along with like. caterpillars of course. i can also see bees being a probable candidate for Existing In The World #AGHHHHH THIS HAS BEEN EATING AT ME FOR DAYS NOW #been questioning how the neighbors' consciousness and awareness manifests as well #might make a different post on that since this one has a Topic and id like to Stay On It for once #well. its related. but that deserves its own Pondering #welcome home speculation #i dont know what else to tag this as! #absolutely unprompted #ALSO ALSO are there any animals outside of insects? #does the neighborhood have birdsong but no birds? if one listens real hard to it will they notice it looping? #do they have squirrels? critters in general? is that why wally doesnt know what a rat is? he'd have no reason to. #in his world they simply don't exist. #anyway but i wonder how frank would react to seeing a real butterfly (& insects in general) #the WH ones are gigantic in comparison and overly-colorful and friendly & cutesy #wouldnt it be painful if he was scared of them. if they look too alien. would it be the spongebob butterfly episode all over again #many many thoughts tonight.... #but also.... #what if he tried to frame a real one. expecting it to be Fine and Alive when he pins it bc they always have been #theyve always been perfectly happy fluttering in their frames #but a real one would fucking die. so. yikes #traumatic core memory unlocked! frank frankly has discovered Death

Ooh what happens if we dunk him in saltwater, does he shrivel or does the water cancel it out? Rouxls did not give me permission to ask this btw

did you know that ink doesnt really dissolve in saltwater all that much? well i didnt know that until recently. you learn something new every day ghfjndgm,.,,, hes fine, just salty about the amount of salt he is being subjected to

What I love about Hellboy and Abe Sapien's dynamic in the comics is that, if you came into this blind, you'd expect Abe to be the voice of reason or the straight man to Hellboy's impulsive and hotheaded personality. But no, Abe is more often than not the crazy one. Hellboy would deal with fighting evil monsters and bad guys by just sighing and getting it over with, while Abe is going rabid over tearing the creature apart when he does get into a fight. Hellboy acts like it's a 9-to-5 job and will reasonably talk things out with a guy that had nearly killed him before, Abe acts like a madman in a slaughter house and his first instinct is to shoot first kill second and ask third. They're both insane, but on completely different levels.

#wheres that one comic where abe gets into a mission and has to tear down a monster with an axe #then at the end when hellboy appears and sees abe going ham while covered in blood. he's like ''oh hey abe. good job you're doing there'' #hellboy was not even worried for a second. he trusts abe to handle things on his own #they both trust each other to do their job but they also know when they can handle a fight on their own and will help if needed. #their trust and bond with each other is so implicit but speaks volumes. they dont need to say anything. they just know #we talk so much about hellboy being like. an alright guy and a whole lot kinder than the world treats him. and that's right #but it really does make Abe look fucking batshit wild in comparison because of it #the entirety of the abe sapien comics is that the guy is on his hinges and the only thing keeping him sane before was his job (which is #debatable.) and the bprd. mostly hellboy and liz and kate and roger. johan and ben are a weird case but he does kinda care about them #i love abe btw. he's such an interesting critter. absolutely crazy maniac of a guy. #tbf i dont blame him considering his backstory. if i went through some of the shit he did; i would not be sane either #also. the moments post hellboy's death in the comics where abe is trying to deal with his passing but never directly says anything about it #until he was confronted by hellboy in his dream. thats the cool bit yknow. we dont need to be told Abe was grieving about hellboy #we just knew he wasn't handling it well. using present tense when talking about hellboy to other people. avoiding saying his name. #its great stuff #the fire burns #hellboy #hellboy comics #abe sapien

Okay, so...how do your NiGHTS and Reala look without their hats? I've seen some people give them horns while others just have the hats just be regular ol' jester caps.

I like giving them horns and hair underneath! Here's a collection of both NiGHTS and Reala and how I typically draw them under their hats/hoods:

I think both interpretations are fun, and both work well for the idea of these nightmarish, though very dreamy/otherworldly entities. It also gives a neat juxtaposition against Wizeman, having these ethereal, beautiful (and only just slightly uncanny) creatures under his command when he is this metallic, rigid and angular thing.

#NiGHTS #Reala #Nightmaren #hats #hoods #horns #NiD #JoD #i like to think Reala keeps his hair in extremely good condition and maintains it well #whereas NiGHTS kinda just lets it do whatever and probably accumulates small woodland critters in it sometimes #silverspychedelic #asks
