Happy birthday, Slothy!!!

@lilacella 🥳🎂🎉🍹🎊

I'm not all caught up on The Seed of Doubt, because I simply had to stop and bring that wonderful breakfast scene in chapter 5 to life 😅 And what better way of celebrating you breaking open a new decade than with Karl, Marlene, Martin and Otto?

I hope I did them justice!!

And some close-ups because Tumblr makes things small and I spent so much time on those little sheets that call themselves cheese 😅

Hope you are having a great day filled with Hawaii Toast (Marlene has plenty to spare!!) and other sloth-friendly things!

Lots of virtual birthday hugs from Maddie ❤️

[lilacella]

how do you think karltin are doing post seed of doubt? what do their lives look like?

Oh, fun!!

Well, obviously Martin wants to build him a house like a fucking Bourgeois and Karl cannot have that. But Martin needs a way to channel his Bauherr™️ Energy they buy one of these fucked up old homestead buildings and Martin gets to rebuild/renovate that.

After it's done and Karltin doesn't live in a chaotic construction site anymore (Karl lk enjoyed that phase though, especially when they didn't have heating yet and they could cuddle up for warmth like a pair of squirrels 🥰), they - or Karl - invite a bunch of others to live with them in a lovely little commune!

They have a vegetable and herb garden, runner ducks for eggs but mainly pest control, two goats to mow the remaining lawn and for weeds - and a home gym in the former shed. It's mostly Martin's but if course he's sharing. Karl makes sure of that!

Saturday is and will always be Pancake Day and they'll serve them with apple sauce from their own apples!

cheer up a sloth, send an ask

Another snippet from The Seed of Doubt. This part has a very specific target audience (looking at you @polaroidcats hope you enjoy this 😊)

When they entered Otto's dorm, a tall, muscular boy was doing push ups between the beds. He noticed them and jumped to his feet with a grin Sirius found absolutely inappropriate for this time of day. "Good morning Otto, up already?" The boy punched Otto's shoulder. "Doesn't look like you at all! And you brought someone!" Otto flinched. "Ah, hey Martin. Uhm yes, we were... I went for a run. By the lake. With... with Sirius! But now we are tired." Martin nodded. "Well, I appreciate the mindset, Otto!" He tapped his temple with his finger. "Success starts in the head!" Otto shot Sirius a tortured smile. Sirius raised an eyebrow. He recognized the boy now. Martin Genau, one of the Hufflepuff chasers. James had made fun of his terrible, albeit very motivated, attempts of playing Quidditch. Martin looked back and forth between them and grinned, revealing a row of concerningly white teeth. "Better leave you two alone them. Just in case you want to...unwind, after your run." He wiggled his eyebrows and Sirius could practically feel the heat radiating from Otto's cheeks. "Come on, Karl! Time for breakfast!" Martin reached into one of the three beds that still had the curtains drawn and pulled out a miserably blinking, cubby boy, with a pretty impressive beard for a seventeen year-old. Karl. Sirius remembered him too. Smart kid. Quite a rebellious spirit for a Hufflepuff. Always scribbeling something into his red notebook. Karl grabbed a hold of Martin's muscular arm and let the other boy pull him to his feet with a yawn. "How late is it?" "Half past seven!," Martin announced in a tone that implied that this was an outrageous time to still be in bed but Karl just pulled a face and rubbed his beard. "Too early." "Too late! We will miss breakfast! And it's Saturday, you know what that means, Karl!" Karl nodded gravely and reached for his robes. "Pancakes." "Exactly!" "Fine, let's go then." Karl threw a look at Otto and Sirius. "What about you? Are you not hungry?" "We already ate," Otto lied. Karl raised his bushy eyebrows but shrugged and weaved his fingers in between Martin's. "Let's go then. But we will go to the library later. I need to draw some pamphlets..." Martin shot Karl another teethy smile. "Anything for my Karlie." Sirius looked after the peculiar pair. "Are they dating?" Otto shrugged. "They say they don't. Karl doesn't like the concept of private property and as you just saw, Martin can't say no to him. As long as he gets his pancakes he's happy." "Pancakes?" Sirius rubbed his temples. He was too tired for this.

Plz tell me more about Karltin 😌 Do they like to nap together? Who is the big spoon? Do they hold hands when they walk side by side or is it more of a brushing-our-handd-with-each-step situation? Or maybe they link their pi Kies together? Plz go on about them 😌😌

THANK YOU! Finally someone has mercy with me 🥰 awsome questions!

Okay so they absolutely nap together! Martin is a strong believer of getting up early but Karl isn't. So they compromise by getting up somewhat early and then laying down for an afternoon nap!

They take turns with the spooning. Martin always says he should be big spoon because he is such a manly man and also so so tall! But deep down he yearns to be held and Karl knows that so sometimes he will just take big spoon position before Martin can protest - eventhough Karl is a big fan of protests. They're favorite cuddling position is face to face though, resting their foreheads together like real comrades!😊

They DO hold hands! It is important for Martin so he doesn't loose Karl in the crowds (he tends to get himself into trouble and then Martin feels like he has to save him! He doesn't and this is a point of contention).

They do love each other very much, despite their egregious differences - which are mostly settled by Karl winning and Martin doing what he wants. Though there are some unnegotiable terms: Martin needs to get his pancakes and at least once a week Karl needs to admire his physique to keep his ego healthy 😊 Something Karl does not struggle with because he thinks Martin is soo hot 😇

Thank you!! I feel so much better now!

hi slothy please tell me what karltins ideal weekend looks like! i know martin would love that 6am iced matcha latte pilates class combo but you said they compromise by sleeping in a bit so how long do they sleep? do they go to the farmers market together to get healthy food / support the farmers? do they go on a little walk or even hike? what else do they get up to??

Hello Cat 🥰 Certainly will!

They do usually sleep and cuddle until 7:30 because that's how long Martin can take to lay still and be used as a pillow for. But after that he'll get antsy and is sooo ready for his workout so he unwraps himself from Karl's loving arms and gets up to do his SPORT. Usually Karl will just stay in bed then - though it is significantly less comfy without Martin 🥺 But sometimes he will join him in the livingroom, all yawning and sleepy and "read a book" [he is actually watching Martin do his topless pilates 😏 he likes him on the floor...]

When Martin is finished and they are both ready to leave they go to have breakfast at a Café. Martin will get his beloved Matcha Latte and Karl will get a coffee- black with 3 sugars. While Martin is sipping his drink Karl will tell him all about that great book he is writing and about all these theories. Martin really tries to understand what he's saying but it's hard for him to focus when Karl is just so sexy when he talks about abolishing class structures that Martin wishes he'd done Cardio in a different way that morning!

More often than not, they'll sit there until noon because Karl keeps getting more ideas as he talks and he needs to write them down immediately- Martin is just such a supportive boyfriend he really inspires him. But after such a long time doing nothing Martin needs some exercise again, so they go for a hike. Karl keeps talking and talking and Martin is enjoying his presence while he power walks along the trail. When Karl gets tired Martin carries him on his back as extra weight.

After their hike, Karl will often find at least one protest or political panel discussion he wants to go to and of course Martin tags along. He will always be Karl's personal protection shield against any cops - having been one himself he knows exactly what they are allowed to do and what not so he'll make good use of that - or angry fascists that Karl likes to enrage. When they finally get home Martin had to deal at least on punch and Karl is a bit hoarse from yelling over people.

They curl up on the couch together and watch Der Bergdoktor - Martin's favorite show - while he slowly drifts off to sleep on Karl's chest, nuzzling his beard ☺️
