#theme 26

@gallacrafts

I'm late (again) and overachieved (again) for this month's @gallacrafts bc I had to learn how to draw a comic and cats while juggling academics 💔 I also don't know much about cats so take what they do with a grain of salt. But hey, at least happy Halloween eve?

Mickey is going crazy after Ian convinced him (read: bribed him with the good fucking) to stop smoking. He needs to keep his hands and mind busy and stop being an extra huge asshole to everyone around him. Enter: Lip, his third favourite brother-in-law. Lip has mastered knitting years ago and shows up one day with a basket full of wool under his arm.

Mickey huffs and shoots the shit but in the end sits down to inspect the basket. Three YouTube tutorials later he gives it a try. Crocheting, that is. Not knitting. Because Lip does it, so it must be lame (he claims but still wears the hat and scarf Lip gave him as a Christmas present).

A few weeks later Lip finds a gift in front of his house. A crocheted plush animal for Freddie. He doesn't have to ask who made it.

Freddie loves it of course. It's his instant favourite. Mickey smiles when he sees Freddie carrying it around. And yeah... Ian gives him the good long strokes he fucking loves so much that evening...

And here it is:

Mickey and his little rats for @gallacrafts

(Ps. Brown one is splinter and the grey one is called killer )

🐕 🐀Theme 26: Gallapets 🐈‍⬛ 🦜

Furry or feathered? Mammal or reptile? Bought? Adopt don’t shop? Or simply found in a bin? The choice is yours entirely.

Posting day for Theme 26 is next Sunday, 22nd of October.

You know the drill! Remember to tag @gallacrafts and use the tags #Gallacrafts #Theme 26 and #Gallapets.

Franny has been asking for a pet for months and in spite of wanting to give her everything she wants, between the responsibility, the commitment, and the cost of food, toys, and veterinary bills… the answer just has to be no.

But that doesn’t mean that the Milkovich-Gallaghers can’t all get together and help Franny create her own magical zoo, one toilet roll at a time…

Who do you think created which animal?

I didn't have time to make anything new, but the galladolls seem pretty happy snuggling with their pup on a Sunday morning!

Ian and Mickey rescued Mary Jane (MJ) from one of their grow house stops. She loves basking in the glow of grow lamps, and in the dash of the their ambulance on warmer days while the guys run their route. @gallacrafts

I just couldn't get the idea of an Iguana out of my for them out of my head. She's cool enough for Mickey and quirky enough for Ian. Plus you guys know I love my paper crafts.

It was the third stop of the day, Alvins Grow house on 12th and MLK.

"What's with the lizard Al?" Mickey skeptically eyes the reptile sitting between a row of plants under warm light.

"One of my guys brought her, stupidly took her as a payment for money owned. Now I'm not sure to do with her"

Ians already making friends with the green creature, scratching her head and using the same pitched voice he uses with Lips baby.

"Mick...?" Ian looks at him hopefully with practiced puppy dog eyes

"Oh no, no way Red. We ain't taking home a freaking lizard!"

. . .

Thirty minutes later Ian is sitting in the passenger seat, cardboard box carefully balanced on his lap

" You Gallaghers, always taking in strays. What do these things even eat?"

"Come on Mick, isn't she cute. We'll figure it out"

"Shes alright looking, like her mohawk or what ever"
