Okay, so I was goofin about and was like "what if" and so now Bal is a Lindwyrm.

TIME FOR FRAGGLE ROCK HCS YAYYYYY

Boober has asthma that’s why his memory loss was slower than everybody else in Boober rock (wdym I’m not just making an excuse to project pftt why would you even think that)

Mokey is very forgetful (short term memory loss kinda thing)

and red remembers everything that ever happened to her ever very vividly and specifically

they are perfect for each other

Reboot Cotterpin does not like eye contact, and og cotterpin does too much eye contact lol

the real reason Boober doesn’t wear clothes is they are almost always being washed. Like, he could step outside for like 30 seconds and he would immediately start cleaning his clothes, can’t risk the germs I guess.

My list of oldest to youngest for the minstrels is Cantus, Murray, Balsam, Brool, and Brio

wembley has an iron deficiency (I am not self projecting again WHY WOULD YOU EVEN THINK THAT)

Mokey writes poems about her friends a lot, and on their birthdays she reads them to them :3

Mokey and wembley both do Dino hands

Boober is always cold (gee I wonder why maybe cuz he doesn’t wear clothes perhaps)

Mokey made her and red’s sweaters :)

if they need help, Wembley will go to Boober or Gobo, Gobo will go to Matt, Boober will go to anyone (usually Wem or Mokey), Mokey will go to Red and Gobo, and Red never needs help. (Though if she really needs it, she go to Mokey, Boober, or sometimes Gobo but she’s usually too proud to do so)

Wembley refuses to wear an outfit that doesn’t have a fun pattern on it and I personally love him for it

Mokey loves to experiment with hairstyles, she tries new hairstyles a lot

Wem had a bow/hair tie collection, his favorite is his red one

Mokey’s sweater almost always has paint stains on it

my list of oldest to youngest for the fraggle five is Mokey, Boober, Gobo, Red, Wembley

Balsam belongs to @caycanteven

I got my grubby hands on the LL files and have made expressions for Balsam, so uh

Enjoy✨

balsam

what remains— a christmas snow globe, perfectly shaped branches, its yellow star among the falling white flecks. a mug, upside down in the front of a kitchen cabinet. a love language spoken in perfect pitch. we, unmasked and how our embrace lingered under the harsh lights of retail, the wide ocean of your brown eyes, and how i would have happily capsized into our unspoken need.
