About + Pinned Post~

Hello ladies, gentlemen, and creatures of the night! My name is Crow!

My blog is a missmatched pile of whatever I fancy that day, but my work is geared toward The Daycare Attendant Fandom.

Fair word of warning: While I do not post or reblog NSFW content, I sometimes post work that contains suggestive themes, blood and guts, and a lot of horror. Continue at your own risk, my work is all tagged appropriately.

I don't spend long on Tumblr other than posting, so I don't reblog much </3

Being so fr, it's been almost a decade since I've actually drawn a reference sheet, and I think that this barreeelly counts LMAO

But anyway--

Most of my OCs come from being an unsupervised 11 year old on DeviantArt and so I'm not really all that interested in sharing them publically anymore, which means the OCs I want to draw for Art fight either haven't been drawn before, or haven't been drawn since 2020...

So I thought I'd draw one of my Warrior cats OCs! Other than the sketch, I completed this in a couple of hours today. She's not exactly the most creative thing out there, but I've never drawn a cat before... so--

I'm also wanting to draw one of my old OCs, Fred -- a skeleton balloon dog. I'll also draw a sheet for Snowythorn's secret forbidden ShadowClan mate, Darkfeather.

I also got sidetracked and made myself a watermark :D it's kinda hard to read tho...

[anxiouscr0w]

out of curiosity, what’s the most out of context fic dialogue u have??

“Ah, it seems I have attracted a voyeur…” Probably LMAO

[anxiouscr0w]

"Is he always like this? We should neuter him."

What is my fic bro

This chapter might be another long one, sorry! It's got a lot to cover and we're not even at the main meat and it's nearly 7k so far. I doubt I'll get it done before 15k, but hopefully it shouldn't go beyond that

I really don't want to split this chapter-

Emotional Support Staff Eclipse: Management warned you against me but I'm actually super friendly I love you and I have no filters on my feelings.

Celestial Scales Eclipse: I know I tortured you, but I brought you some fish because I misunderstood the situation, and surely that's good enough that we can be mates now, right?

Towered Fools Eclipse: I know I beat the crap out of you, dragă mea, but I need you looking pretty for your execution tomorrow!

ESS Eclipse: ...

CS Eclipse: ...

TF Eclipse: What?

ESS Eclipse: You know what, we are taking all of your Reader characters for ourselves! You savages!

I like to think that older pinstripes just see any other demon below the age of 100 as kits.

I can just imagine Moon gifting some food or fruits to the colony, and Hazel drags him down, fretting over how he's so skinny and scruffy. He pokes at Moon, gasping and scoffing over "Who isn't feeding you enough?" and "Look at all these burs!" while Moon tries to squirm his way out of it.

[anxiouscr0w]

Little hare has been trailing around miserably after Sun for the past hour. He had said that he had something to show them, but he’s taking his sweet time and now little hare is bored.

They’ve been watching his tail sway with each small adjustment of balance and the way it moves. They give in to their thoughts, and yank it as hard as they can.

So it’s true, what Moon said—-Sun really does squeal like a kit. Anyway, I can’t imagine little hare has a nice day after this

[anxiouscr0w]

Being ganged up on by pinstripe Sun and Moon must be horrifying.

Sun stands at the edge of the woods in human disguise, and you laugh at the demon. Stupid beast, I know it’s you!

While you’re distracted bickering with him, Moon snatches you up from behind. You weren’t paying any attention, and had completely forgotten that yeah, there are two of them.

[anxiouscr0w]

I'm joining art fight this year btw (‾◡◝)

I've avoided it like the plague since hearing about it years back because every time I was exposed to it, it wasabout people being cruel and going on ridiculous, but I've been swayed into giving it a go LMAO

I don't really have many OCs that I'm willing to share, and have no REFs ready for any that I still have arghh

Anyway, add me if you're playing, I might draw your characters~

Pinstripe demon little hare, lurking around the exiles. They’ve become rather curious by the shiny creatures that have been roaming around in town lately.

Using their human form, they get closer with the robots, who they learn to be Sun and Moon. They head to Silkeholt and visit the museums, they visit diners and little events across the towns together. Sun and Moon escort them through the woods, assuming that they’re keeping little hare safe from the cryptids that are lurking about.

After nearly a year of being with them, little hare over does their disguise. It’s been hours, and they’re so very tired. Eventually, they’ve pushed their luck too far and collapse in the woods, revealing what they truly are—-a man eating monster

[anxiouscr0w]

I also just like the idea of little hare test biting Sun and Moon to see if they’re edible—

Maybe trying to check their inner workings to see if it’s like those ‘canned foods’ that humans like LMAO

[anxiouscr0w]

How pinstripe little hare sees Sun and Moon:

hope it’s not too spoilery🙏🙏 but it’s been mentioned a few times that little hare smells weird what do they smell like??

It’s not spoilery without an explanation >:D

But their natural scent to cryptids is petrichor—-that’s the smell after it rains. Sun and Moon are pretty curious about it, but they also think it’s weird that a human smells so odd

[anxiouscr0w]

I know I’ve said something similar before, but being sick, physically disabled, or injured in the woods in TCaTC must be fucking terrifying 😭

I can just imagine the horrifying delight in a peckish pinstripe demon upon realizing that you aren’t exactly at an advantage…

Perhaps you have something as simple as allergies. You’re sneezing and sniffling, rubbing at your face and eyes… not only are you ringing the dinner bell with the noise, but you’re taking your eyes off your surroundings for just long enough for them to start creeping up on you.

Maybe you fell or twisted weird and have a sore leg or a stiff knee. That small hobble or those short breaks are going to attract some very unwanted attention. Predators don’t usually target the fittest of prey, they’ll prefer to snatch something that’ll use less of their energy. If you’re injured enough, they won’t even waste their energy on creating a disguise, they’ll just give a short chase and snatch you up.

Even something as insignificant as being a bit stuffy from sickness, having a blocked ear, colour blindness, blurry vision, etc, could probably spell out some pretty nasty consequences if you’re in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Sometimes it’s even traits that are seen as positive elsewhere! Perhaps you’re a very focused person. If you have a task to do, you want to focus hard and get it done, ignoring distractions. Perhaps many of the poachers and hikers that traverse the mountains pay too much attention to their paths, their prey, or even trying to photograph something, that it’s significantly harder to notice a snapping branch or something creeping just in their peripherals.

Jennifer is smart. Jennifer avoids the woods like the plague. Nana is not. Nana has put her remaining hand into a pinstripes mouth on more than one occasion. Little hare also is not smart. Little hare desires bones.

[anxiouscr0w]

Imagine living in the exiles, knowing that accidentally leaving a window open at night or forgetting to lock the door gives you only a 10% chance of waking up in the morning. Perhaps you leave the window open a smidge, only to find that the next morning when you wake, something has pulled it open.

Either something has been in your house, or your flatmate or partner's eyes look just a little bit weird today.......

[anxiouscr0w]

I think I forget that TCaTC is horror sometimes when I post on Tumblr, because in a WIP chapter, little hare is using a flashlight in the woods.

Moon comes up to them, and they say that they didn't see him, and his response is, "No, because you can't see everything with that pesky thing, but everything can see you holding it." and I think if I were told that in cryptid infested woods my soul would simply leave my body

[anxiouscr0w]

Big fan of the idea of Sun grooming his pelt, only for little hare to stick their hand in and mess it all up

[anxiouscr0w]

Average Wasp POV segment: Lalala I love my life lalala look at these cute kits lalalala

Average little hare POV segment: The only thing we have in common is dying and most people have plans for tomorrow that they'll never get to see. I'm constantly on the verge of crisis and my mind slips between realities and I get lost in memories that aren't mine. The only reality I can cling to is one in which I'm alone and everyone secretly barely tolerates me as who I am
