Alright so a few people have expressed wanting to adopt and own a lamia bitty that I created a while back.
So, now that I have a design for his brother and their eggs (there are two, one created by me and one created by my new friend, Sys, who's bitty blog is @forgotten-bittys
Both the bitties and their eggs have strange effects on their environment, so without further ado, let's get into the lore, shall we?
So to start off, this particular set of bitty twins are a strange phenomena that has started being reported throughout the world where random people and random bitty shops recieve a small package of unknown origins. Sometimes it holds (one) of the two eggs mentioned above, which will eventually hatch into a set of twins. Other times it holds the already hatched pair of baby lamia. (85% male, 10%female 5% other (nonbinary)
The Lunar Type egg (the first one, drawn traditionally by me) affects the dreams of those who sleep with in the same room as the egg. Whatever dreams you might normally have start becoming increasingly bizzar until the egg hatches.
Sometimes these dreams are prophetic, and you find that what happened in your dream ends up coming true not long after. Other times you get the feeling you've traveled, or even witnessed something change in the (sometimes very distant) past and may later open up a history book to find that very event had actually happened. (Or you get the feeling it should be something else and has changed)
Still, other times you travel to other strange, unknown realities. And throughout each and every dream and nightmare you get the sense that your body or soul is traversing the surface of the egg.
For the Solar type, (drawn digitally, again by Sys.)
It gives of a glittering, cold, black mist and glows in the dark. Causing hallucinations during the night and bringing a feeling of comfort during the night.
Both sparkle and shimmer in the sunlight.
The bitties: each single egg hatches a pair of twins. More often than not these twins will be tightly coiled around each other, embracing and it could take some gentle coaxing to get them to separate. It will be easier to coax them to let go of each other if you got them as an egg and were the first one seen when they open their eyes, but if you got them after they hatched, they'll likely be a little more stubborn.
As for personality, it's entirely up to the individual adopting as each pair is different in their own ways.
If you decide you only want to adopt one and not the other, know that separating them will make them always feel as though something is missing. They might try to fill that void somehow.
The twins feed on negative and positive emotions as you might expect from a dream and nightmare bitty, leaving behind no waste. They can still eat regular food however, if they so wish but you might want to limit their intake lest they get indigestion. Some individuals may have allergies or be lactose intolerant. Also: their little crowns appear sometime after feeding on emotions for the first time.
As for the effects of the bitty twins, they appear to cause an increase in bad and good luck. You might win the lottery, but at the same time you could have your identity stolen. (Might wanna up the security on that just in case)
Sometimes you may also end up with a cryptid or something stalking you at night, wherever you go. This last one is much more likely to happen if you only have the crescent twin.
They get their first heat at age 18. However for some reason, all attempts at breeding them has never worked to produce the lunar or solar eggs, and more often than not they prove to be infertile so the origins of the eggs remain a mystery. (You can still make ship kids with them though I won't stop you.)
Oh! And one more thing about their lore: since they're such a strange phenomena, the local government might try to come take them from you in one way or another if they catch wind of you having them, so uh, bitty disappearances might happen.(Should you want to spice things up in a fic or something)
That's... About all the information I've got on my lamias so far, besides an idea for corrupted versions of them but if I ever go through with it it'll be at a later date in a separate post.
So, how do you adopt? Just make something with them. Draw it, write it, or even just daydreaming about it. Choice is yours. Ya want a pair or even just one, go for it. I don't mind.
Can you make nsfw of them? I don't mind as long as
1. They're both appropriately aged and act/look like it.
2. Everything is appropriately tagged/in the appropriate place for that kind of content so as to avoid minors coming across it.
3. ABSOLUTELY NO MINOR/ADULT! That shits gross.
Credit: as you probably already know, og Nightmare and Dream were made by jokublog while I made the design and one of the eggs shown here.
Should you credit me? Well, it's not 100% necessary but I'd really like to see what you make if you decide to do anything with them so if you could do that just to tag me, that'd be great. (Again not 100% necessary as long as your not claiming the designs as your own.)
And well... That's it! That's the post! 😊 adopt away!
