Ok, listen, this is important. Edgar seeing little bitty humans and (whatever is considered his pupils) just getting huge as he scoops up the little human and just... Starts crying cause he's overwhelmed by how cute and tiny they are...
*I agree! This is the most important!
*Please accept this doodle of Edgar losing it for tiny humans.
Could there ever be a two headed lamia? Like a two headed snake? Maybe something weird happened in their egg before they hatched? Also if so, I will adopt because omg cute
*Edgar watched with bated breath as the little egg shook. Most Papythons give birth to live young instead of laying eggs, but this Papython’s mate was a Chain, and in addition to two live baby lamia, three eggs had been produced. Two hatched normally, but the third egg glowed brighter than an average lamia egg. Edgar couldn’t wait to see what the third egg held. The egg chipped, cracking in two areas. Pieces of eggshell fell away, revealing, at long last, a two-headed hatchling.
*One head more closely resembled a Papython with soft round cheekbones and twinkling eyes. The other head resembled a Chain with gold fangs and deep orange eyelights. The hatchling appeared to be healthy, beeping and peeping happily as Edgar wrapped them in a nice warm blanket and prepared some milk.
*Lamia bitty hatchlings don’t suffer from genetic mutations since they don’t have DNA, just the magical contribution of both parents. Sometimes things happened though, and babies would have scale color or pattern variants. Rarely, some were even born conjoined, their magic fusing together as soullings. The hatchlings doze off together happily, so Edgar doesn’t worry.
*You pay a visit to the shop a few days later. You like to stop by the nursery and watch Edgar play with the hatchlings while you discuss bittybones news with Vex. Today however, frantic beeping and peeping interrupts the conversation. A very small hatchling with two heads is struggling free of his blanket nest and slithering towards you with the usual uncoordinated movements of a young baby. Edgar scoops up the hatchling, apologizing for the fuss.
*The hatchling will not be comforted, and you have a strange feeling in your chest as you look at the cute little guy. Their little SOUL blazes with warmth and light. “Are they… forming a SOUL connection?” you ask, awe in your voice. Edgar looks down at the hatchling who is staring at you with four intensely focused eyes. “Normally SOUL bonds aren’t forged so young, but this hatchling has an incredibly strong SOUL.”
*Thinking for a moment, Edgar carefully places the hatchling in your hands. The beeps and peeps subside, replaced by a soft little coo, a burbled baby purr. Holding the hatchling feels so right; you never want to let them go. Edgar nods. “We never allow adoptions of new hatchlings, but I worry that separating the hatchling from you could be harmful to them,” he says. “A strong SOUL forms a strong connection.” Vex agrees and offers to make an exception for this very special case.
* “Only if you want them,” Vex says, not wanting to force you. You laugh. IF you want them? “I’ve never wanted anything so badly in my life,” you say, and the hatchling peeps a noisy agreement.
Could I ask for something fluffy? Some things are about to go down in life that won’t be pleasant. Maybe how bitties would react to cotton candy or a bean bag chair or them seeing someone dressed in absolute glitter rainbow sequins coming in? Thank you and sorry for asking
*There’s nothing fluffier than babies, so have some hatchling mini-stories to help you through the upcoming unpleasantness:
The Cotton Candy King
Vex wheeled the cotton candy machine into the nursery. The hatchlings were having a small party today, and she thought they might enjoy the sweet fluffy treat. Vex and Edgar had spent hours practicing their candy twirling skills for just this occasion, and the babies beeped and peeped in delight as the nursery caretaker and shop owner spun them fluffy pastel clouds of sugar.
One curious baby King leaned over the cotton candy machine to watch the strands of sugar spin inside. He leaned a bit too far forward, and when he lifted his head out, he had a wispy crown of candy floss rising from his hood and a small candy beard hanging from his chin. Other hatchlings began to stick the sweet treat to their faces and the tops of their skulls, making facial hair and unicorn horns before finally drifting off to sleep with sticky candy goodness all over their mouths.
Beans and Beanbags
Edgar shepherded his charges into the meet and greet room for their first outing away from the nursery. The group of young Cornies followed along him, excited to be doing something do. Edgar always kept the trip a surprise for the hatchlings to maximize the fun, and this year they would be “sleeping under the stars” thanks to a constellation projector set up in the middle of the room.
Most Corny hatchlings were drowsy and easy to manage. They would quickly slither into their sleeping bags and wait for Edgar to turn down the lights so they could see the “stars,” but these baby Cornies were a mischievous bunch. As soon as they entered the meet and greet room they made a bee-line for the beanbag chairs. Edgar didn’t chastise them. Perhaps they preferred to sleep in squishy comfort. He turned to the machine, loading the proper program.
The hatchlings like the soft comfort of the beanbag chair, but they have other plans. As soon as Edgar isn’t looking, a baby Corny slithers to the edge of the beanbag chair and goes limp, sliding down the round side of the chair to plop and roll comically across the floor. Soon every hatchling is climbing the beanbag chair only to flop, slide, or roll down the side of it. By the time Edgar has the constellations spilling across the walls and ceiling of the meet and greet room, his tuckered out charges are already fast asleep from their exertion.
A Bright and Glittery Future
The Mamba hatchlings wait all week in eager anticipation of arts and crafts day, and today is no exception. Edgar has tons of supplies for the hatchlings to choose from, and these little babies are finally old enough to play with glitter and sequins without the risk of simply shoving the sparkly goodness into their mouths. Eyes light up with awe and wonder when Edgar opens the box with brightly colored glitter and sequins that flash and catch the light like Mamba scales.
The young Mambas get to work, making self portraits with glue, glitter and sequins. They are so preoccupied that they don’t notice a stranger watching them. The person is wearing an entire outfit of glorious rainbow sequins. The colors fade into each other, shimmering and dancing under the shop lights. When the hatchlings finally see the person, their little jaws drop open and they stare. The outfit is mesmerizing.
One very small Mamba holds up his project to the person, showing the patterns of sequins he’s made like bursts of fireworks in a sky of glitter. The stranger smiles. “That’s impressive. Keep up the good work, and you’ll go far,” they say.
Years later, the Mamba still recalls the memory as he and the person (who later adopted him), attend the first show for his new clothing line at Fashion Week.
*I hope everything turns out alright for you. Just remember, even if things seem bad now, you have an entire future ahead of you. Bad times pass, so look ahead to happier days. They will come, and they make any struggle worth it.
Maybe you remember the ask about the favourite heros/villans of the bittys so.. me and my papyton Sirius planed something for the bitties in the shop~
We prepared some of the Cosplays in wich we want to visit the lamias in the shop on Halloween! We have different cosplay so we could change to show as much as we can and play a bit with them. at the end Sirius could show up as the Pumkin King Jack Skellington to give some Candys to the bittys. I really hope they will enjoy this little surprise~

Link to the ask about favorite heroes and villains
It is Halloween Day, and the Lamia Bittybones Adoption Center is in complete chaos. Edgar is allowing the older hatchlings to take part in the festivities, but the little beepers and peepers are safely tucked away in the nursery with the door firmly closed to keep them from being frightened.
Vex keeps putting up decorations in an attempt to create a Halloween mood, but her efforts are thwarted at every turn. She placed a line of fake rats along the windowsill, but the Mambas hunted them to extinction along with the bats dangling from the ceiling. Fake cobwebs were quickly swept away by neat and tidy Papythons.
Vex tried hanging Halloween-colored lights in orange and purple, but they inexplicably ended up inside of the Commander nest. Vex asked for them back, but since she wasn’t on the guest list for the exclusive Commander Gang Halloween Party, Belle refused to let her in. Exasperated, Vex hung up last minute crepe paper streamers, but Corals couldn’t resist the texture of the crinkled paper, and the decorations were quickly torn away and hidden in various hoards around the shop.
Fortunately, Vex didn’t have to worry about the candy for the party. Decoy candy bowls had been placed throughout the shop that morning to lure the lamias away from the real stash- locked away in Vex’s filing cabinet drawer. Sure enough as the day progressed, brightly colored Japanese candies vanished into the Commander nest. The Laffy Taffy bowl could be seen upended near the anti-venom fridge.
Corals feigned indifference, but every few seconds a quick little hand darted into a bowl of salted caramels and pocketed a few. The Mambas eagerly collected their bowl of super sour candies, looking forward to the puckered mouth and swollen tongue sensation only to find that some prankster Cornies had removed all of the sour candies from the wrappers and replaced them with rocks!
Even poor Honey the Pappy puppypapri has been tricked! The older hatchlings convinced him that he needed to restock the filing cabinet, and when he unlocked the bottom drawer, they absconded with the candy! Now they are all in the infirmary with tummy aches being tutted at by the Nurse Papythons for eating too many sweets!
The holiday seems destined to dissolve into pandemonium when you show up to save the day with your Papython Sirius and a series of entertaining and impressive cosplays. The shop falls silent, and lamia bittybones crowd around when you come through the door dressed as Toothless and Hiccup. Mambas cheer to see their favorite dragon hero and his human friend paying them a visit.
Edgar peeks out of the nursery and sees that your outfits are very hatchling friendly, so he leads the baby lamias out of the nursery to watch the show. Adult lamia move aside to give the little ones the best viewing spots. Larger full-sized Kings let the smallest babies perch atop their heads.
Even Butter is allowed out of the nest to participate in the festivities. He’s not entirely sure what’s going on because it’s his first Halloween, but he yells BOO! a lot since it seems like the thing to do. Each time he BOOs, the Kings flare their hoods in mock fright, making baby Butter giggle. You take advantage of the distraction to change outfits in a room in the nursery, emerging next as Lilo and Stitch.
The Corals go crazy. They point and cheer, completely forgetting that they are supposed to be too cool and tough to enjoy cosplays of their favorite character. Several of them hold up crayon drawings showing their badness levels which they estimate to be unusually high for lamias of their size (claims of badness are greatly exaggerated).
All of the lamias are impressed by the Coco character cosplays; they love skeleton characters. Of course every Honey Bo in the shop recognizes Miguel and Hector. Despite the lamias not having feet, the Honey Bos have found a collection of slippers and flip-flops to shake at Ernesto. After Ernesto’s “retreat” (for an outfit change), the Honey Bos slither around proudly.
The sight of the next characters- Sonic and Amy- sets off a flurry of activity in the shop. A whirlwind of Pygmies zoom in excited circles around their heroes, showing off their own magnificent speed. A friendly and helpful Chain tosses some gold-colored rings into the air, and the Pygmies leap and backflip to catch them, presenting them to Sonic (and a few, blushingly, to Amy).
The grand finale makes the crowd go wild. Of course every lamia bitty has seen The Nightmare Before Christmas! Kings, Papythons, and Mambas alike all love Jack Skellington’s impeccable style. A whisper of “pretty” travels through the crowd as they admire your Sally cosplay. Hearing all of the cheering, Butter slithers forward to insert himself into the commotion. The crowd goes silent, wondering what he will do.
“BOO,” shouts Butter at Sirius. Apparently he wants to challenge this strange skeleton lamia in the only way he knows how. Always a good sport, Sirius crouches down to Butter’s eye level.
“It looks like we have a new Pumpkin King,” he declares to deafening applause. Sirius glances quickly at Syrup, who nods. Sirius scoops up baby Butter and holds him high while the other lamias chant “Pumpkin King!” Butter wiggles with joy at the attention and ends up falling asleep in Sirius’ arms, tired out from all of the excitement.
Happy Halloween!
*The door to the store opens and you see a familiar face as a fox eared and tailed woman walks in with her three lamias. Her honey bo, Jazz, her Papython, Sweets, and her King, Captain as well as herself are all carrying ice cream containers, Captain and herself carrying big ones. She smiles at Vex and gently sets one of the containers down. "I made some apple pie ice cream and my boys and I wanted to share it with you and everyone here who would like some."*
*Vex’s eyes light up. Apple Pie Ice Cream? Yes please. It’s a perfect fall flavor! Some helpful Papythons fetch bowls and spoons even though Cornies have already showed up and are picking up handfuls of ice cream to eat. Belle and Lieutenant Cherry confiscate one small tub of ice cream for the Commander nest, and they have left you an extremely shiny penny as thanks!
*Even the lamia bittybones who don’t normally eat sweets like Papythons and Kings accept a bowl of the ice cream, and every bitty in the shop (plus you, Vex, and Honey) happily noms a few scoops of the chilly treat.
*Even with Edgar’s supervision, the baby lamias get ice cream everywhere. It looks like tonight will be Bath Night in the nursery for some very sticky hatchlings. Baby Butter insists on feeding himself, and only a little bit of ice cream ends up in his nose. He considers it a victory.
*Honey is so wiggly with ice cream joy that he accidentally upends his ice cream bowl onto himself. Vex grabs a towel to clean him off, but some helpful Honey Bos are licking him clean and making him giggle. Vex gives him a new bowl of ice cream, which he eats very carefully, tail wagging in ice creamy bliss.
*What a delightful treat. Thank you!
Its AS *walks in with two massive boxes* these are for the big lamias and a special gift for the nursery I have in that colorful box over there and a gift for vex! *points at multicolored rainbow box with a small box on top covered in Apple stickers* these big boxes have sleeping bags for the lamias to be warm, puzzle foam mats for the puzzle solvers (including waffle and his fam) pt1 of 2
*The shop is filled with squeals of happiness as Vex, Honey, Edgar, and the lamias look over their massive haul of gifts. Vex squirrels away her apple juice and snacks for later and helps the full-sized lamias get sleeping bags set up in their nests. The sleeping bags are quite popular with the Chains, Honey Bos, and Kings who are much too large to curl up in socks.
*Waffle takes a sleeping bag and a puzzle mat into his and Syrup’s nest. Curious baby Butter makes grabby hands at the foam puzzle pieces. After tasting them (not food!) he settles down to play with them under Syrup’s watchful eyelights.
*Hatchlings pile into the brightly colored box, pretending it’s a spaceship. They end up knocking the box over and spilling its contents, which Edgar gathers up. The babies can be seen dragging the box away to their play area while Edgar spreads the quilts in the napping area. The new books and Cheez-Its will be perfect for a cold afternoon story and nap session, and Edgar can use the heating pad for the young hatchlings and eggs to keep them from getting a chill.
*Gummies are a Commanders favorite type of prey, and after hunting and decapitating several of the chewy candies, the Commander gang, led by Belle and Lieutenant Cherry, lift Luck high on their shoulders, cheering for him… and surreptitiously trying to stash him in their nest. Vex intercedes to make sure Luck isn’t kidnapped, but before he leaves, Belle makes him an honorary member of the Commander Gang!

P.S. Honey the Pappy puppypapri is also enjoying one of the sleeping bags:
*sneaks in and coaxes all the baby Mambas to go YAAAAS when it’s feeding time* YEET *throws herself out the window before Edgar finds her*
*Edgar sees you walking into the nursery, and he smiles. You’re one of the few people who can come and go as they please because he knows you’re always sweet and careful with the babies. He turns back to the newly hatched Kings who are practicing flaring their tiny hoods. He oohs and aahs and compliments each one until they’re all wiggling with happiness. He doesn’t even notice what you’re up to.
*Once the Kings are done playing, Edgar returns to the nest, preparing the little ones for their dinner. The Kings eat quickly and promptly fall asleep, tired out from working so hard on being heroic and awesome. Edgar starts handing out bits of meat to the Mambas, who have just recently graduated from bottle feeding. “YAAAAAASSSSS,” they cry opening their mouths wide. Their noisiness awakens the Kings who flare their hoods in unison and immediately repeat the sound.
*Loud YAAAAAAAAASSSSSSs echo around the nursery. Edgar narrows his sockets. He knows exactly who is responsible for this. You have been
BANNED
Edgar’s Crush (Part 2)
Read part 1 here
*Edgar watches Demure the unicorn skeleton carefully reveal the two newborn Counting Sheep sleeping in their crib. His SOUL swells with affection for the nurturing skeleton, and the tiny Pygmy eggs wobble in response to the outpouring of magic.
*This moment that they are sharing is exactly why Edgar has a crush on Demure. Demure shares his love of children, and his gentle nature resonates with Edgar. The love that Edgar feels for Demure is romantic, but nonsexual. He just wants to bask in the pastel glory that is Demure and share tales of their tiny charges.
*Still, Edgar needs to return to his nest with the Pygmy eggs. He always experiences some anxiety when he is away from the hatchlings. As he turns to go, you extends an invitation to Demure:
* “Please feel free to stop by the nursery whenever you like... To, uh, see the hatchlings and eggs of course. Not like a date or anything.” Laughing nervously, Edgar spreads his wings and makes a quick wing-flapping getaway before he embarrasses himself even more in front of his crush.
*Edgar welcomes Demure into the nursery. He remembers @damnedxfate‘s bitties quite well, but he also remembers exactly why he banned her from the nursery when a Mamba asks Demure to pick him up only to boop Demure’s nasal ridge. He screeches a victorious “YAAAAAS!” as he slithers away, laughing. Still, Edgar could never deny such a reasonable request from Demure.
*Edgar waves Fate into the nursery and pulls out some chairs for her and Demure to sit. “I’ll start with your Honey Bo, Papato. He was a pretty regular Honey Bo growing up, but as he got older, he would often disappear from the nursery. We always found him hiding in the freshly dried laundry. He loved the warmth and softness of just-out-of-the-dryer blankets.”
* “Shackle must have felt the call of your SOUL from a very young age. His first word was ‘Go,’ and he always said it while pointing to the door. He wanted to start out on his journey to find a SOUL bond at an early age, and I frequently found him halfway out the doggy door or trying to climb out various windows around the shop. The very moment he reached an appropriate age to leave the nursery, he set out, looking for you.”
* “All of the other Corals were jealous of young Kitten because of his silver fangs. The Corals envied his special look, but Kitten only saw himself as different. He wanted to be like everyone else, but jealousy can be ugly, and the other Corals often excluded him from activities. Kitten desperately needed someone to love and cherish him away from those he too often compared himself to. I’m glad he found you and your family.”
