just chat log about pillowings and their “creator”.
aj [8:13 PM]
i know you peeps talked about dolly
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]
there will always be pillowings who do souly exist to be out there
[8:15]
so it's canon to be okay but special rarity if I had to say?
[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
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]
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.
[8:26]
This means you totes can make your own rehab dude for back story
