Hii!! Hello!! Hii!!

I wrote some stuff about the Black Eyed Children but added or changed some stuff because of Oc lore and stuff

[shootwithheart]

Made a mini book out of leftover playing cards and a field book.

The perfect base for cryptid notes.

Cable Elves

You might think that cables and chords tangle themselves due to a combination of tiny vibrations over time and the initial position and elastic potential of the cables in question.

You might think that leaving the cable in a dense spiral (the most common storing method) would allow the "upper strings" to fall to the side over time, but (due to the elastic tension at the other end of the part that fell) they wouldn’t fall perfectly to the ground, which would result in the tangles and knots.

YOU WOULD BE WRONG!!!

The truth that so many don't want to accept is that there are nefarious creatures that sneak into people's homes with their only intention being to knot and tangle their cables, chords, and wires! Creatures so foul that they do this heinous act for no reason other than wicked glee.

These elusive and slippery beings are known only as the “Cable Elves”, and there is no house, home, or building safe from their evil entangling ways.

BASIC INFORMATION:

APPEARANCE:

1.04 ft tall (0.4 m) on average

5 lbs (2.27 kg) at most

Skin is rather pale and almost translucent; comes in a variety of colors, typically white/gray, yellow, green, and blue

Seem to mostly be hairless, though some have long, braided or twisted beards

Long, bony fingers with jagged fingernails; much the same with their feet and toes

Gangly limbs

Pointed ears

Short, curled tails, not unlike pigs

BEHAVIORS:

Nocturnal; dwell in dark places

Have the ability to slip in and out through tight spaces; the space under a door or the slightly opened zipper of a bag

Can be heard chuckling to themselves while they tangle your cables, saying things like “hehe”, “tangle tangle tangle”, and “oh this one won’t come undone, no sir”

WEAKNESSES:

Proper organization and care for your cables, wires, and chords

Cable ties

Long exposure to sunlight

Harsh insults (very insecure)

Fly Swatters

Sorry for the glare, these damn books are always so shiny lmao

Here's the cover of the first prototype journal. None of the decorations mean anything, I just wanted to jazz up the cover a bit.

I had to resize it in MS Paint because the photo was so big that Tumblr couldn’t handle it, so I’m sorry if it looks blurry or wonky.

I plan to jazz it up more with stickers and shit when I get them, but for now, this is what I’ve got.

I wanna be an angel, but not in the soft cherub, honey-glow way, in the, “I have 6 eyes and unlimited arcane magic” type of way. If u look directly at me, I’ll burn your fucking eyes out.
