Sandy

Hello everyone! Welcome to my boat!

[sandy-and-the-felines]

Welcome to the boat! Sit down, find a kitty to cuddle, and let's chat.

Rules:

1) This is an SFW account! While I am not a minor, some of my dear friends are, and I expect respect for them.

2) I shall do my best for all your woes, but I am merely one cat loving man. I encourage you to actually get a therapist.

3) If you'd like to chat with me more, give yourself a name or emoji! I love being able to recognize all my buds!

4) You can visit #sandy's standalones for my individual replies to asks, or #sandy's stories for longer threads with my friends!

5) Anything you bring onto the boat is subject to Mo's sniff test.

My Best Buds:

*over the phone* Hey, Sandy? Can you come over to my place? We have a bit of a situation.

- @third-lotus-princes-posts

Of course I can, Mr Prince! I'm on my way!

[third-lotus-princes-posts]

Thank you.

I appear to be, well, stuck as a frog.

[sandy-and-the-felines]

You're... Oh, I see!

What an adorable little guy!

*Sandy kneels down in front of Nezha.*

You're having trouble with this new froggy form, friend?

[third-lotus-princes-posts]

Yes.

Unfortunately, it didn't improve my physical health at all. Now I can barely move and I can't reach my wheelchair controls.

[sandy-and-the-felines]

I'm sorry about that. If I can pick you up, we can take you to Tangy and we can fix you right up!

[third-lotus-princes-posts]

Go right ahead. I don't mind if you pick me up. Just... be gentle. I think this new form might actually be worse in terms of pain.

[sandy-and-the-felines]

As gentle as can be!

*Carefully, Sandy scooped up Nezha, holding him as delicately as possible close to his chest.*

Don't worry, friend. We'll fix this.

[third-lotus-princes-posts]

Thank you, my friend.

[sandy-and-the-felines]

*Sandy took little Nezha to Tang's home, grabbing a spray bottle on the way to make sure he didn't get too dry and uncomfortable.*

Tangy! Are you home?

*He knocked once, careful not to be too loud.*

@goldencicadatang

[goldencicadatang]

Tang is by his desk, either writing like a maniac or reading something (dude has not seen the light of day in forever). He flinches once he hears the knock, standing upright as quick as the speed of light and opening the door—looking rather disheveled.

Oh! S-Sandy! Hello. Did you, uh…need something?

[sandy-and-the-felines]

Hi, Tangy!

We have a little problem with our dear friend Mr Prince.

*Sandy sheepishly lifts his hands, revealing The Frog Lotus Prince Nezha.*

[goldencicadatang]

Tang cuts himself off, rather surprised.

O-Oh! Dear. Wha—how did this happen??

[sandy-and-the-felines]

*Sandy opened his mouth, before pausing with a blink that made him look like a surprised smiling fish.*

I did not ask!

How did this happen, Mr Prince?

The perpendicular cent to coin ratio depends entirely on the rats ability to make accurate medical decisions for its crow wife in case of emergency appendectomies like the one from 2003 when she had a stoat lodged in her left lung and the psychic pulled the baby from her brain like worms from the dirt like the desert with Oreos and gummy worms but don’t get the ones with the white bellies because they bite and they aren’t worms they are land fish in reptilian skin with a crack pipes that blow bubbles to summon the power-puff girls to fight that one weird monkey that looks like his dad wears a yellow suit with a dumbass hat like some rich guys wife like the mayor or something like that.

[third-lotus-princes-posts]

MK, go to bed.

[noodle-delivery-boy]

Counter offer, one peso and one tunip.

They can identify your sea creatures and provide medical aid

Sea Shepherds are weird like why does Mary have a lamb since when did lambs become some god thing why lambs does that make lamb chops like blasphemy???

[third-lotus-princes-posts]

Get in bed before I call Sandy.

[noodle-delivery-boy]

That’s an empty threat I can’t be silenced like the people who stand against dictatorships and oppressive regimes.

Your feline tricks won’t work on like they did the mail man buddy he got shipped off to rhat one island with the old guy and the school teacher whos also a butcher for fish like the fish from the octnauts except their are damn and ugly .

[noodle-delivery-boy]

That information is irrelevant

I am a functioning adult

[sandy-and-the-felines]

You know functioning adults need help sometimes too. Why don't we sit down and play some games, pet some kitties... Get some rest?

Uh... Monkey man? Are you feeling okay?

[sandy-and-the-felines]

Hi... um, when you have the time, can we talk?

- @third-lotus-princes-posts

I always have time for you, my friend!

[third-lotus-princes-posts]

So... I just found out that two of my children health conditions (one mental and one physical) that rather... scare me, I suppose you could say.

I'm not scared of my children of course, I'm just scared for them. I don't want them suffering or worse.

[sandy-and-the-felines]

Ah. That does sound scary.

*Sandy guided Nezha to the sofa, handing him a hot cup of tea.*

And perfectly normal, of course. Why don't you tell me about it?

[third-lotus-princes-posts]

Thank you.

It's Moonstone and Wei.

Wei has EDS (Ehlers-Danlos syndrome). They're only 4 years old. And Moonstone...

Moonstone has schizophrenia.

Gosh, I don't know what to do, if anything. I'm scared. What will this mean for them? How can I help them? Can I help them?

Can anything be done all other than just...

Sitting...

Waiting...

Waiting for something to happen.

[sandy-and-the-felines]

Oh, I'm familiar with those conditions.

Well...

It means their lives will be different. It means they'll need more help than other kids. Just like you need more help sometimes.

But they'll still be themselves. They'll still be the wonderful children you love so much.

The most we can do is support them. Follow the doctors, listen to them when they speak.

[third-lotus-princes-posts]

And... and what if what I am able to give them is not enough?

[sandy-and-the-felines]

*Sandy sat down next to Nezha, wrapping an arm around his shoulder.*

The good thing is that you're not the only one giving. And with a family as big as this one on their side? They'll always have enough support and love to spare. And so will you.

[third-lotus-princes-posts]

*hugs Sandy* Thank you, old friend.

I... is it alright if I cry for a bit? It's just... it's been a lot.

[sandy-and-the-felines]

Of course you can! Sometimes a good cry is exactly what we need.

[sandy-and-the-felines]

do you take in stray cats? like do your cats go find other cats and bring them to you? is this like a cat society like in warrior cats?

Bai He told me all about warrior cats! Excellent book series. So sad.

I take in plenty of strays. I also work as a foster!

And, of course, cats find cats.

I found Mo under the docks as a kitten, soaking wet and shivering on the edge of death. We've been buddies ever since.

[noodle-delivery-boy]

*A shimmering portal appears in MK's home. Sandy pops out, followed by Tang.*

Hey, friend! Nezha said you guys were here!

[ @sandy-and-the-felines @goldencicadatang ]

*MK is in the middle of a nest with his five babies all sleeping on him, four tucked into a wrap sling onto his back with Xiaobao pressed to his chest, her tinier body breathing in a hiccup-y manner.*

*MK was also currently hoarding Lotus and Nezha in his nest, both of them having been given food and wrapped in blankets.*

Oh…

Oh shit.

*MK glance down to his evidently missing arm and braced for a taste of his own parental affection flavored medicine.*

[goldencicadatang]

Tang just stands there, flabbergasted at what he’s seeing. Shaking (trying very hard not to just faint right there and then), he damn near starts crying. His poor baby…

…M-MK! I am so sorry I’m coming in so late!

I—I only heard about what happened from an anon and Bao said he left you alone and that gave me a heart attack because the last thing I want right now is to be all alone—unless that’s what you really want, of course. I just—I…I’m just so, so sorry!

[sandy-and-the-felines]

*Sandy put one big hand on Tang's shoulder, bracing him.*

Deep breaths, Tangy. We knew he'd be hurt.

How are you feeling? Looks like you've got everyone here!

*Sandy carefully sat down next to the nest, not entering it yet.*

[noodle-delivery-boy]

Papa— Papa I’m alright I promise.

*MK crawls over to Tang even with five babies on him, immediately hugging his Papa tightly.*

Papa, it’s okay, it’s clean and I’ve been caring for it.

I’ve been trying to make sure everyone is okay. Nezha has been going through some stuff and I know Lotus doesn’t sleep normally.

[goldencicadatang]

Tang hugs MK back, albeit slightly loosely. He’s afraid he’ll break him.

[sandy-and-the-felines]

*Sandy quietly pulled several cats from the shadow portal, stacking them in the nest. He then produced a tiny, mewing Siamese kitten, with only one eye.*

You know we'd never make you talk before you're ready. But we are going to make sure you're safe and taken care of!

[noodle-delivery-boy]

*MK laid eyes on the Siamese kitty with one eye and immediately scooped the kitten into his arm and carefully tucked it close and protective, placing the kitten alongside the shaky-breathed Xiaobao.*

I miss my baby brother…

I… I couldn’t protect him from anyone…

I’m sorry… I’m sorry I could protect him.

[sandy-and-the-felines]

MK?

*Sandy reached out, putting a comforting hand on MK's back and rubbing in a little circle.*

You did protect him. You got him back, didn't you? None of us managed that. We didn't even know he was struggling.

[noodle-delivery-boy]

I could hear him…

I heard everything and I tried to stay away, to let him handle it, I didn’t wanna make it worse but I let it happen.

I should’ve stopped it before he got hurt. I heard him call me and I couldn’t think. My brother needed me. I had to get him to safety. I had to stop him from being hurt

[sandy-and-the-felines]

*Sandy listened without interruption, thinking for a moment before he spoke again.*

You know, I made some pretty dangerous choices when I was younger. Pigsy's probably told you all about it!

And I got hurt, too. Very hurt sometimes. That wasn't Pigsy's or Tangy's fault! Their support gave me the confidence to ask for help and do better.

You've spent a long time being told that everyone's safety is your job, friend. That's a lot of weight on your shoulders. But Bao is an adult, an adult who asked for help because they knew they had your support. Don't underestimate how important that support is.

[noodle-delivery-boy]

*MKs ears twitch and lower as he gently readjusts Xiaobao and pats her back resulting in a tiny hiccupy breath before she turns her head to better listen to her Babas heartbeat.*

There she is, hey sweetie. You’re a little bit too sleepy huh?

I know it’s not my fault, but I was his big brother, I should’ve been there for him.

[sandy-and-the-felines]

*Sandy did look worried at Xiaobao's stuttered breathing - but MK seemed to understand what it was and handle it well. He had to trust his judgement.*

You can't always be there for every moment, MK. I don't think Bao would want that, either.

If you can trust one another, then he'll go to you when he needs help.

[noodle-delivery-boy]

*MK makes a small agreeing noise. Xiaobao is more awake now but she’s still got that sleepy look on her face. But she’s staring and Sandy and Tang, as she hasn’t really met Sandy yet, and Tang is only vaguely familiar to her baby braincells.*

Oh, wait— I haven’t introduced you to my kids yet, Sandy.

This is XiaoBao, she’s the youngest. And she is the only one that looks remotely like me.

(Shhh this is the only good picture of her I’ve been busyyyy)

[sandy-and-the-felines]

They're all beautiful.

*Sandy offered his hand to XiaoBao, letting her reach out and touch his large finger.*

Aren't you just wonderful, little one? Perfect in every way. Everyone loves you so much.

[noodle-delivery-boy]

*Xiaobao held onto Sandy’s finger with an baby strong grip, her little eyes examining the strange appendage in front of her like it was a mystery, which considering she was an infant, it might as well be a mystery.*

*After a moment she stared at him intensely before in a gold flash she turned into a baby stoat with brown fur and crawled onto Sandy’s arm before she turned back into her normal form and held onto him.*

Oh shit she learned—

[sandy-and-the-felines]

*Sandy laughed, adjusting her in his arms so she was completely supported.*

Incredible! We'll have to keep a little tag on you, we've got so many stoats running around!

*Sandy looked genuinely amazing, bouncing Xiaobao a little.*

Don't worry. I've already taught all the cats that stoats are off limits. I did that years ago, when one of them tried to go for Bao.
