#floofyrambles

So you have to march over a landscape of big pillow fortes and blanket mountains just to reach your slumbering keeper.

They would change their scales to match your preferred clothing style if only they could but surrounding themselves in color and aesthetics is good enough for now.

You catch glimpses of, a humanoid form when they need to slink around inconspiciously through town. Well... they think they look inconspicious. To you, someone covered head to toe in clothe with a big brimed hat screams trouble... but you never had the heart to tell them how sketchy they look behind those black circular glasses. They are self concious as hell when they aren't a big contented louging beast.

Giving the design a kind of sluggy appearence and making the internal body look kind of like one of those pretty flowering teas!

Here is a doodle for concept =33

You find them sitting at a table with a coffee cup in hand, looking like an adult sitting on a kiddy chair.

"Oh. OH Shoot! I this isn't what it looks like! I can explain!"

You raise one finger slowly up and point at them. "You... got taller. "

"... ... ... That's,"

"Why are you so tall? I don't remember you being this tall? Did you have a growth spurt in the middle of the night ir something?"

They gesture at themselves, "You don't...? The multiple eyes?? The horns??? You got nothing to say about that? No commentary about any o t h e r distinguishing features????"

You look down, and your eyes slowly scan back up. "I mean. You're really tall now. How did you do that?"

They face palm.

And I've been feeding it donuts.

Yup, donuts, the fried doughy rounds of goodness usually dipped in chocolate? Yeah, those ones.

I've learned it likes the ones with sprinkles. However, it will eat glazed in a pinch,

t h a n k f u l l y.

So every Friday, at the local grocery store, they have a sale on a dozen donuts for what, ten bucks? I buy one of those suckers every week. The big guy downstairs at least has the decency to ration out two donuts a day and give me a break on Friday.

Thank GOODNESS

I mean hey, if you had some weird leviathan world destroying mind melting thing in your basement? And you realized that the only thing that's stopping it from potentially destroying the world was donuts? DONUTS?

Yeah, you'd feed it donuts too.

Now okay, here comes the really weird bit. Uh... I think it's leaving me gifts.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Gifts.

Some stuff are you know, normal stuff that's in the basement. Old comics books, yanno. Normal. But then you get weird trinkets and creepy glowing runes, and mummified-I-don't-want-to-know-what-it-used-to-be.

There's this thing that appeared in my house. Primordial, gooey, eyeball, whatever-the-hell-is-it.

And it sings.

And quite frankly when I first saw it, I locked myself in the bathroom for two hours and watched in horror as it tried to squeeze itself under the door.

Yeah. . . that was good times.

Uhm, yeah, so I've name them Frank. And I think Frank is also possibly maybe a part of whatever-the-hell is in the basement, because Frank, also likes donuts.

So now, little Frank lives upstairs and uhm big scary Frank lives in the basement.

Still.

A clawed thumb hooks oh so gently underneathe your chin. As you face is tilted up, You brace yourself to see disappointment. But no, only love is reflected in the glassy depths of their eyes.

Wishes, hopes, truamas and dreams that are tied with silver ribbon to your ribs. Inseperable aspects that have become their own persons, intangliable yet so real.

You weep over their stories because pieces of it match your own struggles, and now this manufactured phantom ally struggles together with you through life. It makes you feel seen, and yet also more alone than ever before.

Another thing: imagine that everytime you kiss a monster with wings, their wings do small excited flaps.

I have seen some other creators think about this too! Personally I hope so, and I also hope it's really funny, like people falling in love in the frozen food aisle at a grocery store! Like we write about the things we think is the usual for monsters viewed through a romantic lens Man I hope it's like the same, taking a look at normal human-isms it would be so good, so wholesome, so funny. Like chatting at a bus stop, or falling head over heels for the new co-worker, or "Heeeeey it's me you're friendly multi-tentacled plumber here to fix your pipes! : D" Ahahahaaa!!! Or for aliens, Oh noooooo Mx. Scientist don't use that on meee <3<3<3 Just outrageously wrong, and getting into debate fights with the other creatures about the plausibility of x scenario. XD "I don't think humans get that weird on a full moon, I think you're just projecting man." Oh jeeze, the poor creatures who are friends with humans just sit there and sweat like. "I... this is so glaringly wrong but it's fiction... I'm just going to let my roomie write their fan fiction in peace... I may tell Tony about the human head cannons though, he's going to laugh until he cries." Or humans are like mythical cryptids in that world like this one? Who knows! Speculation is fun. : 3
