#tiny owners

[vex-bittys]

"Hello, Vex! Yes I'm back again. Since I was helped magnificently by the mambas with my, ahem, "small problem," I thought I'd come back with proper tribute." The rainbow dragon unloads a box of colorful books, rocks, treats and toys - all dragon-related, of course. She's developed a soft spot for these lamias, despite previous reservations, and isn't afraid to admit that. Plus, how could she ignore such gorgeous scales?

*When you arrive at the shop, you’re surprised to see the entire Mamba entourage waiting for you. They’ve all donned little dragon wings harnessed complete with iridescent sequin “scales” sewn in (thanks to some crafty Papythons). The flock of dragon-Mambas “soars” around you as you hand out the gifts. It seems that they are even more smitten with you now that you’re back to your normal size.

*Soon you’ve become a Mamba perch as each lamia-turned-dragon seeks to impress you and get the most attention. You have to stop several of them from jumping off of you and attempting to fly. Soon the gifts have all been given, each Mamba clutching his special treat or prize. They share the books, reading up on dragon stories and dragon lore.

*As you prepare to leave, you notice that someone (or some-Mamba) has crossed off the Mamba Lamia Bittybones sign and re-written it:

HERE THERE BE MAMBAS.

Ima curious~ how would ur bitties react if their owners shrinked to bitty size? Of course after having them for long time already :3 I asked more people about this and I love bitty reactions to it :D

*There seems to be an outbreak of tiny owners, but never fear because some of the lamias can handle it!

Papython (UT!Papyrus): you are a perfect size for hugs, very helpful and responsible

Corny (UT!Sans): sleeps on you until you return to normal size, continues to sleep on you

Krait (Gaster): worried and a bit anxious that something might happen to you, tries to find a way to return you to normal size

Honey Bo (US!Papyrus): thinks it’s hilarious to be bigger than you, suggests heading to a bitty shop for assistance

Pygmy (US!Sans): so excited that you are his size, wants to play, makes a lightning fast steed

King (UF!Papyrus): OMG, tiny tiny human, loves the smol, must protect

Coral (UF!Sans): stop being so smol, it’s stupid, but takes pictures with your phone to look at later because you’re kinda cute all tiny

Chain (SF!Papyrus): goes into protective mode, will likely take you to a bitty shop for help, you are now his most precious treasure, if full-sized you can ride in his pocket!

Mamba (SF!Sans): NO, nope, just… no, unacceptable, how can you spoil him if you’re tiny? *poke poke* well, supposes he’ll have to take care of you until you stop your tomfoolery

- Thus to the tiny outbreak, a tiny lamia-human is here! She's resting comfortably with one of the Honey Bos who offered to share some tunes, to her delight! -

More about the tiny owners outbreak:

Beginning | Continuation | Lamia Bittybones Reactions

*The Honey Bos spot a tiny lamia-human slithering through the shop. Another tiny owner! They quickly escort her into their nest to keep potential adopters from picking her up. The Honey Bo nests are softly lit, not too bright, and full of comfortable nests where lounging Honey Bos listen to their music. It’s very rare to be invited inside, but they seem to have taken a liking to her.

*Honey Bos, mostly miniatures due to her small size, slither over and show her their song selections. Soon music is filling the nests, and the Honey Bos are dancing to it, sweeping the human-lamia into the movements with them. Suddenly they all freeze.

*Edgar is walking by, sure he spotted a tiny human-lamia who obviously needs to be placed in a nest in the nursery for safety and probably also groomed and coddled and maybe even bottle fed. When he peers into the Honey Bo nests, they all appear to sleeping in a big pile in center. It’s unusual for Honey Bos, but he doesn’t ask questions. He has a tiny owner to find!

*The Honey Bos shift aside, revealing the lamia-human that they had been hiding (by squishing her). She’s a bit rumpled, but unharmed, and the dance party resumes.

I'm going to take a wild guess here, but do you have experience with Edgar picking you up and putting you in a nest when you were bitty sized? XD

*Yes. The moment Edgar saw that I was bitty-sized, he scooped me up and put me in one of the hatchling nests to “keep me safe.” He couldn’t resist nesting though, and he plopped down next to me and ruffled his feathers so I could nestle in them for warmth. I think he might have planned to bottle feed me too, but Butter distracted him, and Honey and Poff staged a nursery jail break. I’ve still got some downy Edgar fluff in my hair.

*Edgar puts you back in the nest and begins to preen you because a clean tiny human is a happy tiny human. Then you make your threat… of swearing!

*Edgar gasps. No swearing in the nursery!

*You have been

B A N N E D

*But mama hen Edgar will miss you, naughty child.

*Waffle shoos any grabby people away from you. It happens in the shop sometimes, and those people are asked to leave. Nobody, human, monster, or bitty, should be touched without consent. We also fully support the biting of grabby-handed people. Edgar spots the tiny dragon wandering in. A new baby! He doesn’t get a chance to bring you into the nursery though…

* …because the Mambas arrive. Those rainbow scales? The fact that you are a real, genuine bitty dragon? Yup, you are an official Mamba now.

Small me then decides that the Corals and Cornies deserve some love to! Snuggled for the boys

More about the tiny owners outbreak:

Beginning | Continuation | Lamia Bittybones Reactions

*A group of Coral just happens to be slithering by, and you just happen to get caught up in the movement. They aren’t petting you, of course; they are just gently pushing you because you are in their way! The Corals make their way over to the anti-venom fridge, not because they want to hang out with the Cornies or anything. No, they just happen to like the soft blankets for napping.

*If you think the Corals have joined the Cornies (who rolled over immediately) in cuddling you, you are mistaken! There just isn’t a whole lot of room under here and they have to be this close to you. Those are absolutely not purrs. That is obviously snoring!

@thedragonlover

*Every Mamba secretly imagines himself to be a majestic dragon, so of course they were absolutely smitten to see a dragon in the shop who was their size! Obviously, you were destined to be one of them. Plus, the rainbow color scales are gorgeous. Yes, the Mambas love you, and they don’t often accept new members into their very exclusive Mamba Club.

*The Mambas will also definitely keep people from just touching or grabbing you.  Mambas are to be respected, especially the rainbow dragon Mamba!

Responses!

*For anyone wondering, there will be more information about the returned Cherry Coral as well as the returned Brassberry. I would not leave their stories without closure, especially after the outpouring of support and comfort for them. As for the lack of an angry Vex with the Cherry Coral return? Well, I didn’t want to upset or frighten the little guy. He might have thought the anger was at him for not staying in his adopted home! But inwardly?

*At least they brought the Cherry Coral back to the shop instead of just abandoning him in the wild. Now he can receive love and support and possibly find a new home if he wants it.

@crysta-cub

*Yes, join us! The lamia bitties are loving having such smol humans around to guard and dote on... but watch out for Edgar!

Humans: *become smol*

Edgar: *gathering up the bitty humans and placing them in a nest in the nursery then covering them with his soft feathery wings like a mother hen* Babies

In response to the ask about bara lamias:

*Big is good. Lamias are good. I say go for it!

@soulsinbottles

*Are you a Mamba? Because I feel like this comment was written by a Mamba...

[vex-bittys]

Shiro comes in, a confused look on his face. In his hands, there was something small and moving. It was..... Julia? The now bitty sized, white haired woman with blue eyes looked pleadingly at Vex."I woke up and sssssshhhhe wasssss like thisssss," Shiro commented, still unsure of what to do.

*You see Poff and Honey at the counter, being petted by another tiny owner, accompanied by a Corny who is wearing false eyelashes. Honey is holding something in his cupped hands that you hope is not an insect, especially since you are now incredibly small. The two skelepuppers exchange a look and Honey opens his little paw hands to reveal… a bitty-sized Miss Vex!

*Vex sighs. “Well, we are having a tiny human party in the shop I guess. Thank you for bringing her in Shiro.” Fortunately the shop is a safe place for very small humans because the lamias are used to being around other bitties. Even Waffle, the largest King lamia, is very careful where he slithers. “Watch out for Edgar though,” add Vex. “He’ll try to put you in one of the hatchling nests.”

*Edgar is nowhere to be seen, but two huge round eyelights peek up over the counter of the front desk. Butter has just discovered the tiny humans, and he is starstruck by their miniature cuteness! Glitter takes his owner under the anti-venom fridge to hang out with the Cornies, and Honey and Shiro bring you and Vex to the meet and greet room to try to solve the mystery of how you all got tiny. The Kraits are hard at work doing complicated physics calculations.

*The Corals are trying very hard to not appear too interested, but they sure would like to pet the tiny humans. Papythons focus on comfort, making sure that you and Vex have a soft space to sit and some snacks even though a whole potato chip is like a crunchy snack blanket to a shrunken human. The Kings keep a watchful eye out, and other lamias occasionally pop in to see what all of the fuss is about.

*How did you and Vex get so tiny? Did some clever pranksters make use of the owner-shrinking bug bombs by @ajadeideidy? Does this have something to do with @ladyarkytiorofdunans‘s boys?

[vex-bittys]

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.
