aj [8:13 PM] i know you peeps talked about dolly

[8:13]   technically uhm

inkblot-fox [8:13 PM] yeah thats one i was gonna leave to you

aj [8:13 PM] a lot of people can do pillowings but it's just silly work, kids stuff, not stuff you take seriously

inkblot-fox [8:13 PM] since youve been revamping your lore

aj [8:13 PM] Dolly who loved pillowings since forever and learned to sew and craft because of them and her grandma

[8:14]   she is the one who made them extremely popular in clo

[8:14]   she commercialized them

[8:14]   even tho it was a casual idea people generally kinda knew about but didnt care

[8:14]   she made it huge and influenced it with her unique style

[8:14]   that's why they are specifically fox/canid looking

[8:14]   instead of being bugs, cats, so on

inkblot-fox [8:15 PM] weren't you eager to have feline pillowings at one point?

[8:15]   we even have one or two in the archive

aj [8:15 PM] nah I never minded it tbh

[8:15]   hehe

[8:15]   don't worry

[8:15]   uhm

[8:15]   there will always be pillowings who do souly exist to be out there

[8:15]   and different

[8:15]   and not typical.

[8:15]   that is okay

[8:15]   so it's canon to be okay but special rarity if I had to say?

[8:15]   cause super rare

[8:16]   uhmm what else

[8:16]   solely*

[8:16]   and ya she sells contracts out and got classes with beginners to become pros

[8:16]   or just make their own

[8:16]   so it opens up crafters

[8:16]   and just personal made stuff

[8:17]   Dolly is extremely on the helpful creative side of the project

[8:17]   but the people who run her business so make her face it a bit colder and distant than she'd like

[8:17]   so you have the hard rules

[8:17]   specific faces

[8:17]   yaddaya

lace [8:17 PM] Okay

kit [8:17 PM] Dolly can retrain corrupted pillowings correct?

aj [8:17 PM] Dolly tried to make her own secret species

[8:17]   She wanted to experiment

[8:17]   blue point where she had no inspiration for pillowings

[8:18]   so she made a lintling

[8:18]   a rodent

[8:18]   completely not okay by contract she accidentally made

[8:18]   but she's the creator she can do what she wants

[8:18]   overload of passion, emotions, spell gone wrong but we're not sure how yet

[8:18]   Mother Lintling is "born"

[8:18]   Dolly spends lot of time with her

[8:18]   they connect, they even communicate

[8:19]   but in the end even Dolly treats her like less, a pet, something at her beck and call

[8:19]   Mother Lint was not happy with this, she loved Dolly very much, but she wanted more.

sweetmelony [8:19 PM] My boyfriend just put a seatbelt around his tea and drove off I'm so done rn

aj [8:19 PM] So she just simply left.

[8:19]   And thus lintlings were born

[8:19]   but no one KNOWS where htey came from

[8:19]   lot of conspiracy theories by public yaddaya

[8:20]   thats why lintlings are so akin to humans

[8:20]   and want to befriend them

[8:20]   making them susceptible to training and becoming pets

[8:21]   But also have enough sense that they wouldn't sacrifice themselves based on being friendly with humans

[8:21]   so they have self survival instincts

[8:22]   so the company is the one who funded and rebranded pillowings to be expert hunters of lintlings

[8:23]   but dolly is the one who still helps promote healthy positive magic and that makes pillowings go either hunt mode or friend mode

[8:23]   I don't think any regular person can rehabilitate a corrupted pillowing.

[8:24]   Maybe a fresh/newer on in it's first few months to year? But after that it would be so imbue with negative magic artifacts/residue it would just have to be burned. If you ever caught Luther, he needs to be burned and purse the residue.

[8:25]   Dolly would be a great candidate for helping with a rehabilitated pillowing

[8:25]   But she has never completed the task

[8:25]   but I bet there would be just as equally amazing artisans/magicians who might take the time to help and do it. VERY taxing and takes months to years even then the rehab only does so much.

[8:25]   So it's usually just... never worth it.

[8:25]   You always just destroy them.

[8:26]   Hence why super crazy rare.
