#commander bittybones

*Yes, we do still offer the Underdusk lamia bittybones! They are called Smokey bitties, and they have matte black bones instead of the usual white bones of the skeleton lamias. The Smokey tend to hide around the shop, and you can usually find them hiding on the shelves or curled around some of the potted plants!

Here is some helpful information about Smokey bitties!

*The link includes the original bio with artwork, compatibility, and information about the best owners for a Smokey. Smokeys are adopted by request, but they are usually not included in matchups or imagines unless it is specified.

*NOTE: Commander bitties are no longer available for adoption since their creator (who handled the adoptions) is no longer on Tumblr.

Maybe you remember the ask about the favourite heros/villans of the bittys so.. me and my papyton Sirius planed something for the bitties in the shop~

We prepared some of the Cosplays in wich we want to visit the lamias in the shop on Halloween!  We have different cosplay so we could change to show as much as we can and play a bit with them. at the end Sirius could show up as the Pumkin King Jack Skellington to give some Candys to the bittys. I really hope they will enjoy this little surprise~

It is Halloween Day, and the Lamia Bittybones Adoption Center is in complete chaos. Edgar is allowing the older hatchlings to take part in the festivities, but the little beepers and peepers are safely tucked away in the nursery with the door firmly closed to keep them from being frightened.

Vex keeps putting up decorations in an attempt to create a Halloween mood, but her efforts are thwarted at every turn. She placed a line of fake rats along the windowsill, but the Mambas hunted them to extinction along with the bats dangling from the ceiling. Fake cobwebs were quickly swept away by neat and tidy Papythons.

Vex tried hanging Halloween-colored lights in orange and purple, but they inexplicably ended up inside of the Commander nest. Vex asked for them back, but since she wasn’t on the guest list for the exclusive Commander Gang Halloween Party, Belle refused to let her in. Exasperated, Vex hung up last minute crepe paper streamers, but Corals couldn’t resist the texture of the crinkled paper, and the decorations were quickly torn away and hidden in various hoards around the shop.

Fortunately, Vex didn’t have to worry about the candy for the party. Decoy candy bowls had been placed throughout the shop that morning to lure the lamias away from the real stash- locked away in Vex’s filing cabinet drawer. Sure enough as the day progressed, brightly colored Japanese candies vanished into the Commander nest. The Laffy Taffy bowl could be seen upended near the anti-venom fridge.

Corals feigned indifference, but every few seconds a quick little hand darted into a bowl of salted caramels and pocketed a few. The Mambas eagerly collected their bowl of super sour candies, looking forward to the puckered mouth and swollen tongue sensation only to find that some prankster Cornies had removed all of the sour candies from the wrappers and replaced them with rocks!

Even poor Honey the Pappy puppypapri has been tricked! The older hatchlings convinced him that he needed to restock the filing cabinet, and when he unlocked the bottom drawer, they absconded with the candy! Now they are all in the infirmary with tummy aches being tutted at by the Nurse Papythons for eating too many sweets!

The holiday seems destined to dissolve into pandemonium when you show up to save the day with your Papython Sirius and a series of entertaining and impressive cosplays. The shop falls silent, and lamia bittybones crowd around when you come through the door dressed as Toothless and Hiccup. Mambas cheer to see their favorite dragon hero and his human friend paying them a visit.

Edgar peeks out of the nursery and sees that your outfits are very hatchling friendly, so he leads the baby lamias out of the nursery to watch the show. Adult lamia move aside to give the little ones the best viewing spots. Larger full-sized Kings let the smallest babies perch atop their heads. 

Even Butter is allowed out of the nest to participate in the festivities. He’s not entirely sure what’s going on because it’s his first Halloween, but he yells BOO! a lot since it seems like the thing to do. Each time he BOOs, the Kings flare their hoods in mock fright, making baby Butter giggle. You take advantage of the distraction to change outfits in a room in the nursery, emerging next as Lilo and Stitch.

The Corals go crazy. They point and cheer, completely forgetting that they are supposed to be too cool and tough to enjoy cosplays of their favorite character. Several of them hold up crayon drawings showing their badness levels which they estimate to be unusually high for lamias of their size (claims of badness are greatly exaggerated).

All of the lamias are impressed by the Coco character cosplays; they love skeleton characters. Of course every Honey Bo in the shop recognizes Miguel and Hector. Despite the lamias not having feet, the Honey Bos have found a collection of slippers and flip-flops to shake at Ernesto. After Ernesto’s “retreat” (for an outfit change), the Honey Bos slither around proudly.

The sight of the next characters- Sonic and Amy- sets off a flurry of activity in the shop. A whirlwind of Pygmies zoom in excited circles around their heroes, showing off their own magnificent speed. A friendly and helpful Chain tosses some gold-colored rings into the air, and the Pygmies leap and backflip to catch them, presenting them to Sonic (and a few, blushingly, to Amy).

The grand finale makes the crowd go wild. Of course every lamia bitty has seen The Nightmare Before Christmas! Kings, Papythons, and Mambas alike all love Jack Skellington’s impeccable style. A whisper of “pretty” travels through the crowd as they admire your Sally cosplay. Hearing all of the cheering, Butter slithers forward to insert himself into the commotion. The crowd goes silent, wondering what he will do.

“BOO,” shouts Butter at Sirius. Apparently he wants to challenge this strange skeleton lamia in the only way he knows how. Always a good sport, Sirius crouches down to Butter’s eye level.

“It looks like we have a new Pumpkin King,” he declares to deafening applause. Sirius glances quickly at Syrup, who nods. Sirius scoops up baby Butter and holds him high while the other lamias chant “Pumpkin King!” Butter wiggles with joy at the attention and ends up falling asleep in Sirius’ arms, tired out from all of the excitement.

*Lieutenant Cherry emerges from the Commander nest, grabs one of the jars, tips it onto its side, and rolls it back into the nest to share with Belle and the gang. The Cornies converge on another jar, sticking their little arms in up to the shoulders and then licking the peanut butter off of their hands like little gremlins. Papythons and Kings try to organize the chaos and make sure everyone gets some of the peanut butter without having to submerge their entire body in it like its some sort of mud bath.

*Edgar steps out of the nursery and collects some peanut butter for the babies. Since it’s soft and easy to eat, the little hatchlings can enjoy trying to lick it off of the roofs of their mouths. The babies beep and peep in joy at the flavor, and they add another sound to their vocabulary- the um num num of baby lamias trying to eat a sticky peanut butter snack. Even baby Butter gets a spoonful under the watchful eyes of Syrup and Waffle.

*I want the people who adopt my lamia bittybones to enjoy them, and I have no problem with people using their own creativity to interpret the designs. In my original design, my main focus was simply that they had tails that reflected certain real life snake species. In my head, I pictured them with regular, run-of-the-mill white bones, but that doesn’t mean that people can’t draw them or write about them in any other way.

*In the actual design for Commander bittybones by @bitty-fluff, the Commanders have patterns on their skulls (shown here in artwork created by bitty-fluff):

*Another great example of bone coloration in lamia bittybones that I particularly enjoy is this artwork of Donut the Pygmy bitty by @redkammy:
