"No money. Only pets!"

I'm sorry but as a child I, personally, would riot if someone went in for a pat and backed out at the last second 🤣 This is simply how things happened, please and thank you!

Day 3 — Poppy ₊˚✧ ﾟ

Submission for @olba-week-event

MC: Ai/Sky

I wasn't actually going to do day 3 because I couldn't come up with an idea that didn't have Cove in the spotlight 😂 but inspiration hit me at the last minute so this one was a bit of a rush job, my apologies. On the plus side, Ai's little sailor onsie will forever give me life so that was a delight to work on. She had huge aspirations to become one when she was a kid - always wanted to be on a ship and had a lot of sailor themed things in her room (even tried to stow away on a ship once and actually succeeded, but only for a day before someone found her out LOL, the moms were not pleased). As you can guess though, meeting Mr. Shark-man Holden and his sea themed son was the highlight of her youth 🤣 she's had many long and very serious conversations with Cliff about buying a boat. She used her serious voice and her serious face and everything! Cliff could barely resist! He almost caved when Cove came in for back up but the moms brought up the stow away story and that sobered him up pretty damn quick LMAO Now, on a more personal moment here. My stepdad likes to retell this story of how we first met, whenever he's in an emotional enough mood 😂 I was a very impulsive kid (putting it mildly) and I didn't know him at all but, despite that, the first thing I did was run right up to him and hug him around the legs and say "Hello!" with my big smile and he had no idea what to do because he was used to people not being like that with him at all. Yet there I was, already liking him, not knowing how big of an impact that was going to have on him. He retells this story maybe once or twice a year and there's just something so genuinely soft and sweet about watching a 50 odd year old man still get moved to tears, years later, as he says "You chose me." like it still baffles him even now - especially when you know he's the type of man that doesn't rely on support or comfort from other people, but takes that comfort from you - the child he chose too.

Cliff feels like he's that type of man to me, tbh 💖 Maybe it's because I understand his background so easily or because he's always doing things that I recognise as responses to that background, but he reminds me a lot of my stepdad and a lot of myself too honestly. So, a big big Big part of me just loves the idea of this stubborn, independent, self made man who is always putting the comfort and happiness of others as his top priority also getting so damn emotional when he gets to sit down and do normal happy family things with the kids that love him so dearly as well. Like, I just want this man to look around at the people in his life and know, deep in his heart and soul, that they want him to be there 🥺 maybe his parents didn't, but they just missed out on everything that he had to offer honestly. The family he has now knows his value and it's not in what he's willing to do, but simply in him being who he is. That's worthy of love.

Anyways 😂 I could probably ramble on about Mr. Cliff Holden for hours if I'm not careful. So, I'll just leave this here and continue loving my two ocean boys unconditionally, as they deserve! 💖

OC x Canon Week 2025 Day 4 — Brushing Hair Out of Face + ("I never imagined I could feel this way...")

(lowkey, I deleted my first draft with all my pretty words about these two on it and I am so sad about that, but let's hope round two can be as equally inspired)

Anyways! Here's the next piece for @theocxcanonweek

Game: Our Life: Beginnings & Always Characters: Kitt'n x Cliff Holden

So, remember back in this post when I said I had only put Rain in the game so his mother could romance Cliff? Well, this is her!

Kitt'n is a very sweet and gentle soul. She's kindhearted and accepting, always willing to put the effort in to support others, work hard and help out. She's a very warm and free spirit with a lot more life experience than any person would expect on first glance.

She also comes from a very checkered past, filled with personal traumas and all the trials and tribulations that go along with digging herself out of that deep a hole. Through the worst of her struggles, her son Rain has been her greatest guiding light.

So when Cliff comes into town, a single father with a wild son, Kitt'n is quick to empathize with him and offer her support. Their situations being as similar as they are different - as Rain's father was simply never in the picture in the first place, and Kitt'n has never fully recovered from that loss.

As such, they start out purely as friends. Neither one is interested in anything more than loving and supporting their child - it brings a sort of closeness to their relationship that has them relying on one another the most. Kitt'n is only a year older than Cliff as well, and so they often find themselves coming to each other for understanding and comfort more than anyone else.

It isn't until the end of Step 2 that the two of them finally start letting themselves look at one another as something more. Having not realised up to that point that, in the five years of knowing each other, they may have started to feel love for the other. It's only thanks to Kyra's outside perspective and blessings that they realise they can have and be more with the other.

It's not a fall for them. Instead it's a choice to be in love with each other. To walk together, hand in hand, with all the acceptance and understanding that comes from two lost souls, at last, finding a safe harbour.

I'm back on my bullshit, so have this Cliff tattoo, my gift to you 🎁✨

I read a comment the other day on a yt short about 'signs this is a man you don't want to fight' and the comment was "Don't fight him if he's wearing sandals, that man ain't running."

it's been living rent free in my head ever since as "this is a Cliff vibe" and continues to make me laugh whenever I imagine someone throwing hands and Cliff just casually socking them in the nose like "Bitch, do you know me?"🤣anyways, thought I would share with the class.
