✅ Confuse them with kindness. Absolutely baffle them. Catch them off guard so bad they stop and seriously question your sanity for a moment. "Are they really this gullible, or just stupid??" Be the small gentle ray of candour that blinds them when looking at your innocent smile. Show them the warmth that never grazed their frigid soul before. There are only two paths for you after that: you're either dead or become the light of their life. Maybe even changing their ways for the better. For both of you.
Absolutely stunning gift from my friend @tinybirdandmouse and her friend. I cannot tell how much I love it omgggggg 😭
I love how Puzzles is so... shaped here. The long boi. And my sona looks positively adorable 🥰
(Also Tina's taking ✨commitions✨, you know what I mean *wink wink*. What I mean is, go commition her! She might take a while to answer though cus she's rarely on Tumblr)
An absolutely wonderful art piece by @tinybirdandmouse featuring Mr Puzzles and my persona (the other one besides the little white squirrel that you may have seen :3 )
📏 Okay, so out of curiosity I've decided to compare the heights of a couple of characters in the RTV au
So here's Nicknack. As @runrabitrunrunrun stated, she's somewhere between 5'7-5'9 feet. My oc Nira is next to her. I haven't really decided on her height at first, but now I think she's approximately 3'7-4'0 ft tall (without ears)
AND THEN THERE'S THIS MF!! (/aff💕)
gahDAYMN HE'S TALL (☉_☉')
I mean, I knew @4thwallbreakerdraws2 said he was tall, but not this tall. cheezits (ꏿ﹏ꏿ;)
Nira exited the bathroom along with Nicknack, after helping the delivery girl with her powers. She had hoped that it would help, even if for a little bit.
Right on her way she spotted Animsay, who waved at the small squirrel with a grin. Nira eagerly waved back in greeting, smiling widely at the familiar TV head.
She then turned to Nicknack. Her expression became softer and a bit more concerned. Nira nodded to her in silent goodbye and then was off to where everyone was gathering.
But on her way she saw that familiar white and purple-blue person, who seemed to be approaching her. A welcoming smile appeared on the squirrel's face right away.
( @alelathedragon )
— Oooo- your limbs aren't attached to your body... Are you a ghost? Thats really neat.
The sharp-toothed person starts sketching something in their sketchbook.
— Oh! Only my head and tail, heh. But uhh, I'm not a ghost! Just a paper doodle that somehow became alive, hehe.
Nira observed them with a curious, friendly smile.
— I assume you are a ghost, right? That's very cool! I really like your tail and fangs! So pretty~...
— A paper doodle that somehow became alive... Thats.... AMAZING!! — he cackled mischievously. — Wowwweie!
His own tail wagged in excitement as he continued to doodle, he was becoming more visible.... Until the compliment and her blushing made her become transparent once again.
— Ahhhh,,, thank you heheh,,, and y-eah I am a ghostie ghoul sksk,,, a Boo! Specifically, only the best species of ghost.
He claimed confidently.
— Ohh, a Boo! That's neat! I assume you can do lots of cool stuff being a ghost!
The squirrel's tail twitched contently.
He only looked more confident in himself as the subject became about his species- he was proud to be a Boo, and while he wasn't ego sentric the lil guy would praise the species to the outer rim of the galaxy.
— Well- me,,, I'm not that special heh, but! BUT! Boos! We are a species to be wrecking with mweheheheh! Power in numbers is an actual tool for us, the more boos around... The stronger we get. Magic spells, playing pranks.
Her own tail was waggling while starting to ramble about Boos.
The squirrel listened with interest while both of them were slowly making their way back to the crowd.
— Ohhhh, so cool! Being a Boo sounds so much fun! If only I could go through walls and turn invisible... — she sighed with a smile.
— The only power I have is altering living beings' bodily functions and even with that it can be quite dangerous, eheh.
The boo opened and shut his mouth... He could help the lil doodle with that dream of going through walls .... But he didn't want to get in trouble! Not now anyways-
But all the sudden the creatures eyes went super wide like a cat that locked onto something it was going to pounce.
— Wh- wha- why do you sound so disappointed!?! That's fricking awesome! Like you can make somebody's arm act like. Like-
He thought for a minute.
— You can make an arm work like a mouth? Is that the power? Explain explain pleeeease!
His tail was a whirlwind of excitement at this revelation that sounded badass.
The squirrel looked at him in surprise.
Huh. They... Liked her powers? That's... That felt nice actually...
A smile creeped on her face. This Boo person was really nice. A giddy feeling rose inside her heart. She was really enjoying their conversation.
— Oh! Well, uh. Not an entire MOUTH, but... Like, I can make any process that your body can do happen right here and now. Like, by touching your arm with mine and using my power I can make it move. I can make it go limp, or hypersensitive, elevate the pain or any sensitivity at all, heal faster, etc... But I can also make it feel pain, bruise, decay, melt the bones, explode all the blood vessels by increasing blood pressure in them... Soo, stuff like that, haha... — she vaguely moved her hand around while explaining.
But for a moment Nira got quiet and thought. Really thought.
— Hmm. But hypothetically... But only hypothetically, and it'll be very difficult and take a TREMENDOUS amount of energy and brain power... Using the body's remaining stem cells, I can make a sort of an oral apparatus appear on an arm...
She looked at the floor. Huh... She... Never actually thought about that...
Loyboo was intensely listening to the doodle squirrel, eyes sparkling in awe as he just smiled at her. Lightly stimming his hands as she continued.
— OHHHH HAHAHAH!!! THAT'S SICK!!
He accidentally yelled but quickly hushed himself and bounced in place.
— After this whole tour thing is over we should meet up, id LOVE to keep talking with you uhm.... Didn't get your name but,
Explode blood vessels, melt BONES!?!? thats-
All the sudden there was a gunshot which caused the boo to flinch. Looking toward the scene, the lil guys' ears went back as he saw Mr. Stars falling over onto the ground with a crack in his screen.
— M....mr...
He stuttered a little but shook himself out of it.
— HOLY SHIT MR. STARS!! Come on we gotta do something-
But Nira wasn't listening.
All she could do is watch in horror at how her Boss fell to the ground with a loud clank after being shot, as in a slow motion.
She couldn't see, feel or hear anything else.
Suddenly her legs moved by themselves and she bolted to Mr Puzzles.
— BOSS! — a desperate yell left her cords.
Tiny squirrel landed on her knees beside her unconscious superior, little black hands hovering over the TV head, dots of the eyes darting over him in panic horror. She almost touched his head to use her powers but caught herself, realising with heartsore that they won't work on technology.
"Oh God, oh God, what do I do, what happened!?"
In her hurry to Mr Puzzles she vaguely noticed a commotion happening in the crowd. Some people yelled, moved, some rushed to Mr Puzzles too. One of them even transformed into a dragon and stood protectively over him. ( @liliththequeenofdemon )
Nira didn't know how many seconds had passed, all seemed to happen so suddenly and at the same time slowly.
She heard her name being yelled by Lucian, which seemed to snap her out her panic for a moment.
— Yes, I'm here! — Nira shouted back, focusing then on her task at hand.
"Check if he's alive." — she thought with a concentrated expression. "But where, where- Oh!" Medic moved her hand to the man's collar and pushed it away, revealing a bit of organic part. She then took off her glove and placed tiny fingers on his neck, closing her eyes.
The energy flowed in her, corresponding with another under her touch.
"He's alive! Oh thank God!" — Nira exhaled with relief, a small translucent bead appeared in the corner of her eye.
After Nira had calmed down for a moment, she finally noticed Mr Puzzles' current appearance. Pink and white hair, missing bowtie, and- Who the hell put those darn stickers on him!? Her brows furrowed. "This is not a laughing matter!" — the medic thought with exasperation, shifting to remove the sticker notes, paper crinkling loudly in her palms. She rarely, if ever, got angry. She didn't like to get angry. Even now, when it peaked in her heart for a second, boiling with bile, thinking of giving a rap on the knuckles to whoever thought it would be funny to put stickers on her Boss, when she wasn't even sure how bad his condition was.
In the middle of it, the lights suddenly turned off, accompanied with the sound of heavy metal doors shutting. Nira flinched. This snapped her out of her momentarily frustration. She then lifted her ungloved hand, warm orange light coming from it started to illuminate the space around her. She was certainly startled by the sudden darkness, but knew that she needed to remain calm in order to help. To help anyone who needs her.
( @lrayasostripes )
Nira then notices a fox-looking girl next to Mr Puzzles, removing the sticker notes too. "Thank goodness..." The little squirrel was thankful to whoever it was. After all the stickers and hair were removed from the suit with the fox's help, medic lifted her eyes at her, the view immediately catching her attention. She had blood running down her nose!
"Oh God!"
— Are you alright?! Here, let me help. — with that her palm softly touches the girl's nose, warm light additionally emanating from her small fingertips. — There. It should be better.
The squirrel stays near her and Mr Puzzles, helping both as much as she could in this situation while in the middle of all the commotion.
Looks like the crowd was splitting up. Either way, Nira was dead set on going to the Health Department, to her home- familiar residence.
She needed to take her Boss there and help. Even if she has to stay all night by his side. She will make sure he's alright.
Something caught her attention again: the fox girl was feeling unwell. With concern, Nira stretched out her hand but then watched with confusion as another, identically looking girl got the other up and on her hands. "Okay...?".
Either way, Nira started moving too. And it looked like that girl had questions for the little white squirrel.
When I saw the "Health Department" choice in the poll, I was like-
"Oh yay, Health Depart-
Wait, oh sh- , Health Department (O–O;)! "
Haha 😅
Either way, here we gooooo! Thanks @alelathedragon and @lrayasostripes for interaction! It was very fun, yay! 😆
(also throwing in some of my OC's lore~ 😏🤭 hehehe~)
• She isn't entirely sure how to interact with kids, so at first she opted to let Telly play with her little fluffy tail. Despite being a living paper doodle, Nira has very soft fur that's surprisingly pleasant to the touch.
• Then she'd engage in all kinds of different activities with them throughout the day: make colourful drawings, play outside with a kite in the warm sunny weather. She would show Telly how to make paper animals, while telling fun little facts about them:
"Did you know that bunnies like to jump around and play with their friends when they're happy?"
🌌 Then, after an eventful day Nira would tell Telly a bedtime story while they fall asleep on her cozy tail.
Maybe she doesn't know how to babysit
Maybe she can't often find the right words of encouragement
But she knows one thing — she will do everything in her power to make sure this precious kid's smile doesn't waver anytime soon
