Crittertember Day 16: Sleeping

Yes have some more Puppylove! And a oneshot to go with it!

When the skies darkened Dogday had a sinking feeling it was too late to leave.  He’d lost track of time and without warning a sudden  thunderstorm rolled in. The thunder rumbled, making Dogday tense up and his tail sag. He had always tried to hide his fear of storms, even though his friends knew. 

Bobby didn’t like it much either, but as the storm intensified and it became clear that Dogday couldn’t leave, she nervously suggested,

 “Why don’t you, uh, stay the night? We could… keep each other company?” Bobby saw the rain pouring in sheets outside her window. “ Like maybe we could–”

“S-sleep together? Like… in the bed? Under the covers? The same bed? The both of us?” Dogday stammered, trying to play dumb to mask his own nervousness. 

Bobby blushed but nodded.. “Yes, in the same bed. We’ll be more comfortable that way, and it’s not like I want to face this storm alone.”

Dogday gulped. “I mean, I can always take the couch…”

Bobby shook her head quickly. “No, really. I’d feel better if you were with me. It’s already late enough as it is.” Bobby genty pulled his hand. "Promise I won't bite."

Dogday couldn’t help but laugh, albeit shyly. “Well, when you put it that way… Okay, I’m in. But fair warning, I might need to hold onto something if the thunder gets too loud.”

Bobby raised an eyebrow, feigning nonchalance. “Well, as long as that ‘something’ happens to be me, I think we’ll be just fine.”

She lead him to her room, the storm outside seemed to boom only half as hard as Dogday’s heartbeat. Yet it also made the space feel cozier despite the crackling tension in the air. They settled into bed, a timid excitement bubbling up as they cuddled close. 

Dogday was hyper-aware of her warmth, the scent of her fur, and the steady rhythm of her breathing. It felt right, yet the newness of it all made his pulse race.

Another boom of thunder rolled through, and Dogday instinctively pulled her closer. 

“You weren’t kidding about needing to hold onto something, huh?” Bobby teased.

Dogday smiled sheepishly. “Guess not.” He glanced around, “You know, this is pretty scandalous. What will our friends think?”

Bobby grinned, playing along. “They’ll probably be jealous they’re not getting a warm hug from someone as awesome as me.”

Dogday snickered as he eased his side into one of Bobby’s oversized pillows. “You’re probably right.”

At that moment, Bobby leaned in and began peppering his face and neck with soft kisses, each one sending a thrill through her dog friend, his tail thumping against the blankets wildly. Enraptured by her affection, he managed to joke, 

“H-hey, Bobs! You know, I’m starting to think you wanted the storm to get me into this kind of position!”

Bobby pulled back just enough to smirk at him, her eyes gleaming. “That’s a strong possibility, but I’ll admit nothing.”

A comfortable silence fell between them, the storm outside no longer feeling like a threat but more like a backdrop to this moment.

Bobby broke the silence with a soft voice, “You know, I’ve imagined this… falling asleep with you. It’s nice, even if I didn’t picture the thunder.”

Dogday’s heart swelled, and he pressed a gentle kiss to her forehead. “Me too. And I don’t care about the thunder as long as you’re here.”

Bobby giggled. “It can’t hurt you as long as I’m around.”

Dogday yawned. “My hero.”

Bobby smiled, feeling a warmth spread through her that had nothing to do with the blankets wrapped around them. “Well, in that case, I guess we’ll have to make this a regular thing.”

Dogday chuckled, the sound soft and comforting as he started drifting into sleep. Finally his tail rested.

“I wouldn’t mind that at all.”

AN: I doggedly continue making Crittertember art. They should be under the blankets but I drew them first and didn't want to erase half their body lol.

in memoriam

On AO3

Rodney finally finds John in the last place he expects; the SGC Chapel. He looks small in the middle of the wooden pew, spine rigid under some unbearable weight. The rosary in his hands isn’t his, neither are the words on his lips.

Rodney waits out the prayer, watching John’s closed eyes and rhythmic fingers. He understands, now, the weight of grief, the comfort of ritual, the deep-seated guilt of loss in action.  

When John speaks the names, Rodney adds his own voice to the ones he knows in death, whether or not in life.  

“Mitch. Dex. Holland. Leonard. Ford.”

Day 16 - Ballad [Integra Hellsing x Reader (Drabble)]

Summary: Integra makes a quiet invitation.

Integra hasn’t said anything for an hour.

And she didn’t need to; everything spoke for itself. Or that’s what she liked to think.

For her, it was inviting, like an unspoken promise to always protect you with everything she has. Her constant presence was an indicator.

Plus, even your simple breath is enough to calm her nerves. Why wouldn’t she have you at her side almost at all times? Integra doesn’t believe in words, only actions.

So, that’s why she didn’t say a thing when she handed you an invitation.

“Hopefully, you are also going to sing me a ballad.”

Ramadan dan Kita yang Berjuang

Ramadan selalu datang dengan ujian. Dan jujur, tantangan terberatnya bukan cuma soal nahan lapar dan haus, tapi juga nahan diri dari hal-hal yang lebih "dalam".

Kadang kita pikir tantangan Ramadan itu cuma fisik. Tapi makin ke sini, makin sadar kalau yang paling sulit justru yang nggak kelihatan.

1. Konsistensi: Semangat Awal vs. Kenyataan Tengah Bulan

Awal Ramadan? Semangat! Target ini-itu, jadwal ibadah full. Tapi masuk minggu kedua, mulai kendor. Tengah bulan? Tiba-tiba lebih sibuk mikirin hal lain.

Dan ini sering kejadian. Karena ternyata, Ramadan itu maraton, bukan sprint.

Gimana cara ngatasinnya?

Jangan langsung nargetin semuanya sekaligus. Pelan-pelan, tapi rutin.

Kalau mulai drop, coba ingat kenapa kita mulai. Bukan buat siapa-siapa, tapi buat diri sendiri juga.

Fokus ke progres kecil. Dari satu ayat, satu doa, satu kebiasaan baik. Yang penting, tetap jalan.

2. Ngantuk dan Lelah: Antara Ibadah atau Tidur

Pengen tahajud tiap malam, tapi kenyataannya kadang cuma kebangun buat sahur. Pengen tadarus panjang, tapi mata udah nggak kuat. Dilema banget.

Gimana cara ngatasinnya?

Power nap itu underrated! 10-15 menit siang hari bisa bantu banget.

Nggak harus panjang, yang penting konsisten. Daripada begadang semalam suntuk terus tumbang, lebih baik nyari ritme yang pas. Tapi aku juga masih struggle di poin ini, wqwq~

3. Emosi yang Lebih Mudah Meledak

Laper, capek, kerjaan numpuk, terus ada yang ngeselin. Rasanya pengen meledak aja, kan?

Gimana cara ngatasinnya?

Tarik napas, tahan dulu sebelum bereaksi. Kadang kita cuma butuh jeda.

Ingat, Ramadan tuh latihan. Kalau bisa lebih sabar sekarang, siapa tahu kebawa setelahnya?

°°°

Pada akhirnya, Ramadan itu nggak selalu mudah. Tapi mungkin justru disitu lah poinnya. Setelah kita berhasil melewati semua ini, ada sesuatu yang lebih besar dari sekadar puasa: versi diri kita yang (semoga) lebih baik.

Dan kalau masih struggling? Nggak apa-apa. Ramadan bukan soal sempurna, tapi soal terus nyoba. 💙

Bubbavember Day 16: Ship!

A ship between left brain and right brain.

Bonus: A oneshot I wrote last month that I'll just drop here. Picture is kind of related.

New Accessory:

Craftycorn trotted into the living room, her hooves tapping lightly as she hummed to herself. Already she was thinking about a new project. She was in the middle of undoing her apron when she spotted Bubba lounging on the couch, casually flipping through an old magazine. But something about him made her pause. Her eyes narrowed in on something gleaming under the light.

"Bubba... is that... an earring?!" she asked, she almost sounded happily aghast.

Bubba’s elephant ears flopped as he perked up, his trunk swayed nervously.

"Uh... yeah. You noticed, huh?" he said with a sheepish grin.

Craftycorn crept closer, peering at the small, shiny hoop dangling from his right ear. "Well, obviously I noticed. It’s hard to miss something hanging off an ear that big!" she teased, giving his ear a playful flick. "But Bubba, since when are you into piercings?"

Bubba fidgeted, rubbing the back of his head. "Oh, you know, I just… thought I’d try something new. Been wanting to for a while."

Crafty raised an eyebrow, her lips curving into a mischievous smile. "Uh-huh, sure. It wouldn’t have anything to do with the fact that Simon Smokes has a whole collection of earrings, would it?" she said, tilting her head slyly. "You trying to outdo my ex?"

Bubba’s ears turned pink as he waved his trunk frantically. "What? No! I—I mean, maybe a little? I thought you might think it was cool or something… like, you know, Simon did it, and—"

Craftycorn interrupted him with a soft giggle. "Bubba, you’re adorable. But I don’t care about stuff like that." She leaned in to nuzzle his cheek. "I like you just the way you are, big ears and all."

Bubba blinked, his whole face relaxing as a wave of relief washed over him. "Oh, phew. I was kinda worried about that."

Crafty pulled back with a curious look. "Though, I have to ask... why’d you do it then, if not for me or because of Simon?"

Bubba grinned shyly. "Well, truth is, I’ve always thought my ears were large even for a guy my size—so I figured, why not decorate them a little? I kinda like the look."

Craftycorn blinked in surprise, then broke into a bright smile. "You know what? I love that! You should totally rock the earring, Bubba. It suits you."

Bubba beamed, it was a big genuine smile. His trunk gave her a playful boop on the nose. "Yeah? I’m glad you think so."

Crafty giggled, flicking his ear gently again. "Now if you get a second one, we might need to start calling you Bubba Bling-a-phant!"

"Oooh, is one of them for me?" Crafty leaned in closer, her eyes shining at the idea. "Bubba, please?"

Bubba let out a deep laugh that Crafty could feel vibrate in her chest as she draped herself against his shoulders.

"Don’t tempt me, Crafty. I’ve already been eyeing a matching set."

"Of course!" Bubba laughed. "Help me pick a good color."

Craftycorn hesitated for a moment, then glanced at his trunk, her gaze glinted with something mischievous. "Hey… Bubba… have you ever considered getting a nose ring?"

Bubba froze, then slowly turned to look at her, an amused grin spreading across his face. "Crafty… just how long have you been thinking about me getting a nose ring? Or—wait—" He flexed his trunk dramatically. "Are we talking multiple nose rings here? I mean, I’ve got a lot of nose to work with!"

Craftycorn’s face turned bright red, and she stumbled over her words. "Wha—no! I mean, just… one nose ring. Just one! That’s it!"

Bubba chuckled, his ears did a happy flap as he flipped a page in the magazine to a spread of nose ring designs. "Well, well. Let’s see what we’ve got here, then. Pick one out for me, Crafty."

Crafty groaned, doubling over in embarrassment, covering her face with a hoof. "You’re impossible, Bubba."

Bubba’s laugh filled the room as he held the magazine up for her to inspect, his trunk playfully nudging her shoulder. "Impossible? Or impossibly stylish?"

The only answer he got was a muffled laugh as Crafty buried her face in her hooves.

Fic is a sequel to this:
