Hey Lev. So this picture of Tiny II inspired me to write you a little something. I just started writing. And i hope you like it. If you donโt thatโs totally alright. And you donโt have to react to this at all.
But i really do hope you think itโs ok to write something for your art. Iโm nervous. But i wonโt do it Anon. So here we go.
Tiny Token go on an adventure.
Or how Tiny III had a stupid idea and everyone went with it!
Tiny Vessel was looking around. They thought it would be fun. They thought it was a good idea. Yeah, not really. Like who would think riding on a lake in a can of red bull wouldnโt work out.
Ok he himself thought it looked ridiculous, wouldnโt work at all, but it worked.
Tiny III really really wanted to do something fun. Wanted to enjoy the sunny day. He was giddy and excited to do something else. Tiny IV even baked cookies for them, they took one big cookie with them and thought it would be enough. They found 2 empty Red Bull cans cut in half and tied them together and out they went. It was way too much work for this, but they just had too. Everyone had his little can part and they thought it would work out!
But what did they forget? What was lying at the shore? The paddles!!!! Sure they had his tiny sword and Tiny IIs drumsticks, he wouldnโt leave the house without them, but what can you do with those? Eat them? Haha, he absolutely would. No. But for paddling they were too thin.
So Tiny II was drumming at the side of the can and tried to remain calm. He didn't want to go in the first place. He has work to do. He was planning and imagining a new rhythm. He had to find the perfect bridge to the next part of Tiny Vessels newest creation. But now he was hanging over the edge of a stupid can boat and was floating around. Not what he was hoping for, when he woke up in the morning. Everything smelled like Red Bull. He forgot to drink one in the morning, his mood wasnโt the best.
Tiny III was still enjoying the ride and Tiny IV was just hanging on every enthusiastic word, which tumbled out his mouth. Tiny III was looking for fish and tried to get to the leaves floating around. He even threw some cookie crumbs in the water. Tiny IV tried to hold him, so he wouldn't fall down into the lake. His height wasnโt helping in this short can and it couldnโt be long, until he would fall into the water. But wasnโt he the cutest in his enthusiasm. Tiny IV would go with him wherever he wished.
Tiny Vessel was searching for something to paddle with, maybe they would find something on the water or they were lucky enough and the wind or even the tiny waves would bring them back to shore.
Oh, he really has to learn to not go with every idea Tiny III will present him with. But those puppy dog eyes were too much for him.
He tried to use his sword to paddle, but it was too thin. He couldnโt get enough momentum to drag them around. He was slicing through the water and trying to find a solution, when he recognized something dark in the water. Probably a shadow from the clouds up in the sky.
Hopefully just the clouds. He tried to bend a little further over the edge of the can, but couldnโt see anything at the moment. Maybe just his imagination.
Tiny IV and III were palavering about anything and everything and werenโt even aware of their situation. They were just enjoying the ride and he was the only one being serious and concerned. Tiny II was still mumbling in his furious state, about stupid friends and stupid ideas, but he was here with them. They were together.
Vessel felt something under them, like something touched the can, slithered around it. Not really hard, but since he was tuned in on their situation, he felt it.
โHey guys, please be quiet for a moment!โ No one was listening. โGuys, please, i think i felt something.โ Tiny III stopped bickering with Tiny IV, they turned around, looked at their friend and waited. Tiny II was still drumming. โPlease, stop the drumming!โ Tiny III and IV were making hush noises and were even louder than the drumming. Tiny Vessel rolled his eyes, how had he deserved this. He loved them dearly, but that was too much. โEveryone, shut up!โ
Oh, that was too harsh and loud. The boop came again. โDid you feel it?โ The Others were looking at him with big round eyes. โYe.. Yeah!โ Tiny IV stuttered. โWhat was that?โ โI donโt know. At first I thought the darkness I saw in the water was the shadow of a cloud.โ Tiny Vess whispered. โBut now, iโm really not sure at all.โ
Everyone was looking down into the water, they were just poking their noses over the edges and tried to see it. But there wasnโt anything to see. They were very concentrated and it was so quiet. They tried to breathe very slowly, so no one was making any noise.
The wind was picking up and the cans started rocking a little. This wasnโt going as well as planned. The clouds were building up and the waves got bigger. Tiny IV was feeling really anxious and slid down to the bottom of his can. Tiny Vessel and Tiny II were looking at each other and their hearts started beating very fast. Tiny III was still looking into the water and what he saw was too much. A big open mouth was coming up through the water. He fell back into his own can and stayed at the bottom. Two down, two to go.
The open mouth broke through the surface and it was the biggest fish they ever saw. The fish jumped over the cans and fell back into the water on the other side. The fin hit the cans and they started rocking from side to side. This rocking in combination with the storm starting to build was too much. Tiny Vessel and Tiny II looked at each other with open mouths and started screaming. Water sloshed in the cans and everyone was getting wet.
The only good part was that the cans started floating in the direction of the shore again. Everyone was hoping that it was enough to reach it.
โDid you guys see this? That was so cool. What a big mouth. This was the biggest one I ever saw. We really need to see it again!โ Tiny III said, while standing up and looking at the water again.
All the Others started shouting : โNo, absolutely not!โ
Tiny III was flabbergasted. Why not, this was fun!โ Tiny II was astonished. โFun? There wasnโt any fun in almost tipping over and drowning, if the cans had broken apart.โ
Tiny III looked a little sheepish. He probably didnโt recognize the danger they were in! What a trip.
Tiny IV stood up and took Tiny III into his arms. He didnโt let him go for a long time. Just holding him and making sure he wasnโt hurt. Patting down his lanky friend. Yes arms, where arms should be and legs down at the bottom. Good.
Tiny II smirked up at them and his temper cooled down a little. Tiny Vessel looked at all of them and was happy that he found those perfect little guys.
Ok back to the current situation. They were still not back at the shore, still not back to safety and they didnโt find something to help them back to the land. Sure the waves the fish caused, were helping them, because they were going in the right direction.
They werenโt able to just lean over the edges and paddle with their hands, the cans were still too high and Tiny Vessel was afraid that the fish would come back. For Tiny III that would be fun and wonderful, but not for the others.
The approaching storm was giving Tiny Vess a good idea. โHey Tiny II, can I get your jacket? Itโs the one with the big hood, right?โ โYes, it is. What do you need it for?โ โI just found the solution to our little problem.โ
Tiny III and IV were looking at their friend and werenโt sure what he was thinking about.
โDo you want to catch the fish and use it to get to the shore?โ Tiny III mused. โI can throw crumbs in the water again!โ
โNo! Again? Could it be that you really want to see this monster?โ Tiny Vessel wasnโt amused.
Tiny II was laughing really hard about that. The picture. It would look so cool. Tiny Vess on top of the cans, holding the jacket at one end and the fish with the other end in his mouth and pulling them to the shore.
Tiny IV looked at him and he knew that his friend had the same idea.
โNo, I want to use it as a sail. The wind is picking up and it could work!โ
โWhat about your cloak, why canโt we use this? Why my jacket?โ
โI donโt wear anything under it, you at least wear a shirt under your jacket.โ
Grumpy Tiny II was mumbling and wasnโt really sure about it, but they needed to get home.
So Tiny Vessel gave one side of the jacket to Tiny III and they held the jacket up together. They are the bigger ones of their tiny group.
And it worked. The wind, almost stormy, started blowing the hood of the jacket up and Tiny IV and II held onto their friends. They gained traction and they almost flew in the direction of the land. They were approaching the shore really really fast. Tiny IV started shouting : โStop, stop the boat. Lose the jacket or we will crash!โ But it was too late. All four of them tumbled out of the cans when the boat crashed on top of some rocks.
They were lucky that the sand and the grass was so soft. One of the lot was laughing so hard, you wonโt believe who.
Tiny III thought this was the best adventure they ever had. No one other than him believed it.
But all three would go on such a stupid adventure again, to make their lanky bassist happy.
Oh my gosh what an adventure!
And you know what, it is super brave of you to share your writing, especially when you are at the beginning of the journey! I tip my hat to you because it is absolutely daunting. And there was no way i'm not reacting to this because people need Tiny Adventuers in their lives and this is THE vibe.
The Tinies absolutely would forget their paddles on the shore and would use one of their hoods as sails. ๐ This was a wonderful read i'm so happy you decided to share it! I love this! โฅ
And like.. writing a story inspired by visual art is the higest form of praise there is towards it. It is the most humbling but also ego boosting thing that could happen, like.. come on? Of course it is okay. I might cry a bit [meaning:a lot, but from happiness] but y'all don't have to know that.
I don't even know what to say. I'm vibrating since Kate's slasher drabble, and now this? Guys, there is so much emotion my shriveled little brain is able to handle ๐ซถ๐ป๐ญ๐ซ
All that said, this is an accurate representation of me since yesterday:
