Nessa O’Leary 🐏

Introducing Nessa O’Leary! Your local Irish Goat-Barbarian :3.

Her design was kind of inspired by some art I’d seen of like, cute human sheep hybrids with little ram horns, so I found some pretty angora goats I wanted to base her design on. Her fur is a very pale cream colour, and her eyes are a warm gold colour.

She’s a very energetic and bouncy little creature, and very food-oriented. Also there’s a pocket dimension contained within her poofy hair that she can pull snacks out of like a looney tunes character. She’s a little lacking in the brain cell department, perhaps a little naive but very friendly and cuddly :3. She has golden retriever energy.

She is also 4’9” so she is a short baby, her battleaxe is taller than her, but like many goats she can jump and climb very well >:].

What did they use for the dolls' hair? Was it human, horsehair? Were there differences in styling capability depending on what they used?

Many materials have been used for doll hair the world over, but I'm going to assume that we're talking about my speciality (18th-early 20th century western dolls) for this ask.

Human hair has been used at times, yes! Horsehair less so- flax was often used in the 18th century, and mohair- that is, angora goat wool -reigned nearly supreme for much of the 19th. Some Victorian baby and toddler dolls feature lambskin wigs, too, prized for their baby-fine platinum curls.

Human hair had all the styling capabilities we're familiar with, and far and away took the prize for realism. I imagine mohair was so popular because it was somewhat cheaper. Human locks came mostly from the big hair-buying fairs all over the European countryside, where buyers would pay peasant women for their hair and then sell it in turn to hairpiece-makers for people and dolls alike. Whereas mohair simply had to be shorn from a goat's underbelly. But that's just speculation- I don't actually know which, if either, made a doll any cheaper.

Doll with human hair wig. German, by the Kestner firm, probably 1880s-90s.

Mohair could be pretty style-able too. As I've mentioned before, a lot of lady/fashion dolls came with long, loose mohair wigs that could be put up with tiny dolls' hairpins. Just like Mama's, Auntie's, or Big Sister's, which must have been a delightful extra level of play. It does take a slightly higher heat to iron-curl, but I'm not sure children of the day would have done that as often as modern dealers and collectors did.

Fashion doll with mohair wig. French, by the Gaultier firm, probably c. 1870s-80s. Note that her wig seems to have suffered some fiber loss, something that can happen to mohair and human hair alike.

People often get. Weird. About human hair doll wigs. How often do you see horror movies that mention a doll having "real human hair" as a Scare Factor? And yet, there's really nothing scary about it IRL. The hair was purchased from more or less willing sellers (usually), commercially processed, and widely available. There are apocryphal stories about dolls being made using the hair of deceased children, but very few of these- if any -have been confirmed to my satisfaction. And even if they were true, that would have seemed touching back then, not ghoulish.

If every doll with a human hair wig were haunted, there would be

A. MANY more haunted dolls, and

B. a ton of very confused and not especially angry European peasant woman ghosts hanging around

My baby angora goat got sheared today. His first shearing at 7 months old ❤️ his mom was sheared last month.

[creampuffqueen]

thinking about sashannarcy with a lil farm...

idk what au or what timeline or whatever, just sashannarcy on a farm

maybe anne joked about wanting to move to the country one too many times and sasha and marcy knew she wasn't actually joking anymore. marcy likes the cottagecore aesthetic, and sasha says 'i'd be a great cowboy' and suddenly they're moving into an old run down farmhouse that they spend months fixing up themselves. anna and sasha still have their day jobs, and sure it's a bit more of a commute to go to the city every day for work but they love their jobs. but they also love their itty bitty farm, which includes but is not limited to:

a vegetable garden that is anne's pride and joy. sasha and marcy are starting to think she loves the tomatoes more than them (she doesn't, but the tomatoes are a close second)

a large flock of laying hens for marcy, who becomes a crazy chicken lady without a second thought

a sweet little milk cow and her sweet little baby

a few chaotic milk goats because goats are the spice of life

sasha getting to live out her repressed horse girl dreams

a small herd of pigs that wreaks havoc but are too cute to get mad at

sasha getting weirdly into the fiber animal scene, which means a tiny herd of fiber sheep, goats, and alpacas, and a little flock of angora rabbits (anne and marcy cry when she gives them the first pair of socks made totally with fiber from their farm animals)

an asshole goose that was literally handraised by marcy but is still a giant asshole

sashannarcy baking bread in their little farm kitchen

soft slice of life shit but it's country and with 12x more animals bc i said so

Last night we got to cuddle baby goats!

One day they'll grow to be fluffy balls of yarn! 🐐

[keeperofseeds]

I drove 120 miles today just so I could see some goats. And I gained free admission to the county fair because I was wearing overalls. So I saw the goats for free.

If that tells you anything about me as a person.

Been thinking about farmer James a lot. Idk if the man would keep sheep but there are some species of goats that you can shear and get some really nice yarn from or angora rabbits! basically the idea of you shearing and then spinning yarn from his livestock and then taking the time to knit him like a hat or socks or even a sweater and he just!!! “I am never taking it off!!!!” And he wears whatever it is until there’s holes in it and pouts when you have to take it to darn them closed and when the summer rolls around you’re like “Baby, darling, dearest you are going to get heatstroke” and he has to relent but he’s still so stubborn because he is so proud to have something his loving partner made and that he also contributed to with his beloved animals makes him feel all warm and tingly and unbelievably loved. He’d also be like a kid when you have a new project on the go just “is that for me? can I try it on yet? Are you almost done?” And damn if you don’t drop a stitch because he keeps sneaking in to kiss your neck and face and mouth and getting you distracted.

CUUUUTE WAIT YOU ALSO MAKE LITTLE EARMUFFS AND HATS FOR THE COWS AND CALFS DURING THE WINTER!!!! james comes in one day and says “I think Daisy’s cold :(( she keeps snuggling up to her mama and her ears were freezing to the touch”

so you stay up all night and make earmuffs for her :,)) when he sees what you made he gets SO excited!! “Oh my god, baby, you made her a this?? It’s perfect!”

he leads you out to the pasture to put it on her, and when he sees her in it he smiles so big and says “Well don’t you look adorable, little lady?” With a gentle pat to her side “gonna stay nice and toasty too.”

I went to SAFF today, and pet a whole bunch of sweet sheep and angora goats. Shetland sheep are in our farm's future, I'm just not sure how far in the future. ^^;

Aziraphale’s demon aspect

As voted by 246 people!

The winner is

Owl

with nearly 26% of the primary vote

many people added in their free form answers that they were imagining a barn owl specifically

Owl was the front runner the whole way through this survey, but most of the time by a very beatable margin. The 40 or so people who voted in the last night really tipped it over, it was a tight race! And the results are crazy split imo, a quarter of votes constitutes a win! I love the different opinions and ideas we all have so so much

Ram/sheep came in a hearty second with 16.5% of the vote

A very regal demon there.

After that it gets a little murky, so I’m going to share the second graph I made when is every animal that got more than 1% of the vote. So it’s the top six animals

Magpie and Lion holding strong! Then Moth and Goat looking very good

The second question let you vote for as many options as you thought were appropriate for Aziraphale! So, there were a lot more write-ins! It’s crazy!

I’m using google sheets so I can’t get it to show you every name, but the raw data will be in a read more so you can scroll through everyone’s beautiful imagination there

Again, Owl winds with a solid 20% of the vote. Ram/Sheep coming in with about 15%, followed by Moth, Magpie, Goat, Lion, then Tortoise.

Tortoise was 11th in the first round, tied with Snake (but pale), and managed to surprise me by coming through so strong in the second. Slow and steady, baby.

Nearly everyone who wrote in about Magpies told me that Magpies hoard stuff, so it’s nice to see the hive mind at work there!

Five people told me they were voting goat because of that one piece of art by @hollow-head​ that shows Aziraphale scaling a bookshelf like goats do cliffs. As an artist myself I found it legitimately moving that this one image had stayed with people so strongly. That’s just beautiful. Here’s an example of just one person’s comment

idk dude i just remember one person posted art of him scaling the bookstore shelves like those goats scale mountains and just eating his clothes while he reads it was so fuckin funny but anyway goat eyes are great or he could have lil stubby horns that r covered by his hair

One moth enthusiast took the time to give me a short essay on their choice of moth. I have included a portion of it, cos it was so great

So if I had to choose an insect, it would be a moth, preferably a Megalopygidae, also known as the Flannel Moth. They are fluffy, white-beige and look innocent and fluffy, but their larvae can cause painful inflammations. A poodle moth would also fit because it's almost pure white.

Here’s a flannel moth for everyone

and a poodle moth, which i honestly thought was a hoax but i looked into it just now and it seems legit? There’s not a tonne of proof, but the og pictures are from a scientists who stands by them, so like, wow

And then a DIFFERENT PERSON put this in;

the moth i had in mind is Acherontia atropos, in polish called Zmierzchnica trupia główka (meaning more or less "dusk death's head"). i have a whole symbolism planned out and stuff 

Fucking, moth fandom come through!!

I’m vaguely scared of moths, fun fact. I don’t like the thick thunking sound they make when they hit stuff.

Here is the second round but with all the animals that got four or less votes removed for ease of viewing

the one segment there at 12 o’clock that google hasn’t labeled for me is Swan at 0.9%

I cannot believe I didn’t put swan in as an option, that’s all write-ins

So, to summarise, I suggest you take a lot of this with a grain of salt. It is not meant as an instruction to fandom or to railroad creativity. I have a narrow corner of the Good Omens fandom that I interact with, and while this quiz was up for a week I’m not sure it reached a great variety of people. About 250 folks filled it out, which was tonnes more than I expected and I love each and every one of you for filling it out!! But I have noticed that Owl was first on my list and in the free form answers the example prompt I gave included, “such as a breed of owl that specifically speaks to you,“ so I think it’s possible I did that unknowing bias thing that practiced survey folk know now to do. So, grain of salt.

I also think that if animals like Swan and Cat were in the list of options they’d’ve gotten more votes because the people who voted for those were coming up with it fresh themselves. I suspect people would’ve voted for them, but it just didn’t occur to them in the moment. In much the same way it didn’t occur to me in the moment I was writing this survey.

So people know, I got the ten or so animals that I put in the survey from searching the demon!aziraphale tag on tumblr, so it was all stuff that other people had come up with. I was trying to avoid my own bias, but i think in hindsight i could’ve done better!

Having said all that, this was all so much fun and the results are clear!!! Love a good owl!aziraphale

Imma continue to draw my boy as a ram, though. Cos this was all just for a laugh <3

numbers and a few more things under the cut

So some of these have half a vote ascribed to them. That’s for people who in their freeform answer said things like this;

ngl, that one post about him being a swan still makes me laugh

Mourning Dove. Though that Scallop answer was fucking brilliant

And I kinda made a judgement call that that wasn’t a vote, but it was kind of a vote. So I gave them half a point.

There were a few situations where people would write in a specific species. If I got more than one vote for the root animal I just grouped them together, but if it stayed the only vote then it kept the species. Cat got the most specific species mentioned, and in the second vote Bat had a few species mentioned (albino bat being my fave), but I ended up grouping them all just under Cat and Bat to give them a better chance of getting on the graph. There were probably a few other examples but I can’t think of them. The one exception to this is the person who wrote-in Duolingo Owl specifically. For that one I figured Owl is already pretty solid, and that’s just fucking funny, man

I was also pretty generous about some stuff. So, this person didn’t vote for Moose but they clearly regretted it so I added a vote for Moose in the second one where you could vote for multiples. They kept their Ram and Goat votes, of course, but I added Moose for them

I get very bastard energy from my demon az headcanons. Like f-ing shit up for a laugh more than anything, but otherwise indifferent. That's kinda why I like the ram/sheep/goat thing so much because it reminds me of indifference and random chaos. Or a moose. Shit, I should have written in moose

So yeah, it’s hardly a double blind study that’d stand up to any real criticism, but it was fun and I think the essence of it is fun!! Scroll through and have a read. Imma pull a few more of my fave write-ins and put them down the bottom cos it’s great. Esp the ones that only got one vote, the reasonings were stellar on some of those

Here is the first vote results, where everyone could only vote for one animal each

Owl 63 Ram/Sheep 40 Magpie 28 Lion 26 Moth 21 Goat 17 Swan 4 Eagle 4 Dove 4 Cat 4 Tortoise 3 Snake 3 Scallop 2 Rat 2 Rabbit 2 Mongoose 2 Badger 2 Shima Enaga 1 Shark 1 Porcupine 1 Orangutan 1 Mouse 1 Long Furby 1 Hippopotomaus 1 Goose 1 Duck 1 Dragon 1 Cow 1 Cereberus 1 Boar 1 Bee 1 Bat 1 Alpaca 1

Second Vote results, where everyone could vote for as many as they wanted

Owl1 82 Ram/Sheep 136 Moth 108.5 Magpie 98 Goat 96 Lion 72 Tortoise 61 Snake 37 Eagle 33 Cat 9.5 Swan 7.5 Lizard 4 Rabbit 4 Badger 3 Mongoose 2 Dove 2 Mouse 2 Squirrel 2 Bear 2 Raccoon 2 Capybara 2 Dragon 2 Bat 1 Long Furby 1 Rat 1 Boar 1 Goose 1 Peacock 1 Pangolin 1 Lindworm 1 Moose 1 Chinchilla 1 Duolingo Owl 1 Cackatoo 1 Crow 1 Cow 1 Alpaca 1  Dodo 1 Shark 1 Big Dog 1 Snow Leopard 1 Scallop 0.5

All voting was optional. To help explain how scallop lost 1.5 votes from first to second, I believe the people who voted for it in the first question just skipped the second cos they’d said their bit.

In terms of how many people engaged with the questions, Q1 had 245 answers and one skip. Q2 had 241 answers and 5 skips, and Q3 where I just let people talk at me if they wanted to had 84 answers and 162 skips.

So please enjoy my selection of free form answers. They all made me smile but putting all 84 in seems excessive to me, so I’ve chosen the ones that are either full blown mini essays or that make me laugh. It’s still a lot, this project brought me so much joy

-

Shima enaga - It's the hair man

Cow (aka golden calf)

Scallop. He is a snack.

Swan. Elegant but very capable of fscking you up. Mates for life.

basically anything that is both gentle in nature and fiercely loyal, territorial and protective (but prone to anxiety). Also hedonistic esp. with food. For all of these reasons, I think a dog would be the best choice.

Dragon with his hoard of books

it’s about the teeth. just too sharp and too many to be human. (comment from op here, this person voted for shark, just for context)

Turkish Angora cat. Magnificently fluffy, incredibly intelligent, love heights and will jump off crazy high things and land on your head, gloriously dignified until they see a string and run into a wall, love one or maybe two persons to distraction and want everyone else to fuck off, will drape themselves over their person’s shoulders and go to sleep, range from “will jump in the sea to hunt fish and has a murder pit full of seagulls they’ve massacred” to “will fall over at the sight of a baby bird”, very particular about food and will yell at you if you get it wrong. Also the breed that some asshole took three cats from and bred parent to child to make Persians. The cautionary tale has been acknowledged and we love our crazy smart, single braincelled children.

I usually imagine him as an owl because they are nocturnal (and we know that Aziraphale can easily stay awake the whole night reading). Also the image of an owl puffed up is kind of ridiculous and reminds me of him, of how an annoyed Aziraphale would look. However the options above have made me think that a lion would suit him very well, too. A lion or just a very BIG cat. I mean, he makes pleading eyes to get what he wants, likes to be confortable, is a bit of a bastard and often puts himself in awkward situations from which he needs to be rescued. He just... acts very cat-like in my opinion. Also owls and cats are both predators, but are usually imagined (or, at least cats are) as cute little creatures, just like Aziraphale is an Angel of the Lord (a Warrior, actually) but looks all soft and cute and huggable. I dunno. Maybe I just want to pet an Aziracat.

I love all the other people's thoughts about demon!Aziraphale, but what about the honey badger? I try to explain why I have it in mind for demon!azi: its name (I think it's funny, expecially in English because 'honey' can make you imagine it's something sweet (it is for me), while the 'bad' in badger can be an alarm bell (like 'be careful! It is not like it seems!')); its face (ok, who can say its face isn't cute? I think, and hope, nobody can, and like the name, it is a misunderstanding: as always, be careful, it's not like it seems!, I think demons can say something about demon!azi as like "you don't seem like a 'good' demon, you can't be, your face (animal and human) is too f-ing disgusting sweet to be a demon!", I think maybe even angel!crowley, at the beginning, can think something like this ("how in the world somebody so cute like you can be a demon?"), then he discovered how demon!azi can be a very talented demon sometimes, but in Crowley's mind azi is still his little cutie angry furry); its furry's colour (black=demon, white/grey/silver/idkitsname= color of demon!azi's wings, because even if he fell, I can't say no to his white wings 😭); it is a snake's predator (and in my mind angel!crowley is still a snake); its solitary life (demon!aziraphale is alone and he doesn't mind it, unless it's angel!crowley we're talking about, then our cute demon minds it); its behaviour (demon!azi, even if he's cute, can be a really very talented demon: honey badger is fearless and dangerous, it can fight bigger animals if there aren't other chances and it can't escape); its skin is very tough (except for a soft/safe spot, behind its neck if I remember well, that only angel!Crowley knows and sometimes he uses it to calm demon!azi down or make azi do some good deeds); its diet (it has a sweet-thooth, for honey in primis, but it can eat everything it wants... Doesn't it resemble demon!azi?); it's smart (search for Stoffle on your browser if you don't know)... Ok,I think I finish, sorry for the novel 😅

I tend to think of animals that meet three criteria: (1) they exemplify “faults” in his character exaggerated to “sins”—gluttony, greed/hoarding, sloth, (2) they are species that favor fawning or flight as a defense mechanism but can also be bold on occasion, and (3) blend very well or have a keen affinity with human society, specifically thriving in urban (i.e., city) environments. This is mostly because I can’t see “Aziraphale” in a reverse AU that doesn’t preserve some of his core traits as an angel (a little hedonistic, hoarding, anxious, etc.). So I like city-dwelling bastard animals with bonus points for relation to scripture, like a rock dove or a fox or an owl.

Owls aren't  smart, and the pedant in me says not an owl. But, thinking on it, demon aspect, owls are perceived as smart, but designed as deadly silent predators, patient and solitary. So actually demon Aziraphale could take on more owlish aspects. I just like cockatoo better, since they are smart, and showy. Or a crow, although that does amusing things with Crowleys name.

god imagining him as a chimera is !!! (comment from op, there was this odd flurry of mythical animals being voted for one night. i think the survey hit a corner of fandom that leans that way. there was also dragon, another chimera, a griffon, and a lindworm all at the same rough time)

Magpies are great because they’re cute and fluff themselves up (go look at Sophie the magpie) and like hoarding their favorite things but also I’ve watched one just straight up kill another bird before because corvids are sneaky little bastards with no lack of a mean streak if they’re crossed

It’s the duolingo owl, I’m so sorry op but it just is. I genuinely don’t mean to clown on your post, but this take was delivered to me in a sleep induced haze and I believe it’s the god given truth. Demon Aziraphale WOULD try to make you learn a dead language and he’d go about it in a vaguely threatening way (comment from op, you’re so fucking right dude. also, shit like this is made for clowning, i’m with you 100%)

When choosing a demon aspect for a Aziraphale, I usually tried to keep in mind the artistic tradition of which animals are linked with demons. The Good Omens team seems to have drawn inspiration from that source because all the animals we do see are either reptilian or insectoid. Those species were often shown inhabiting hellish landscapes in Renaissance and Baroque paintings. However, Aziraphale never struck me as cold or slimy or hard like an exoskeleton. So if I had to choose an insect, it would be a moth, preferably a Megalopygidae, also known as the Flannel Moth. They are fluffy, white-beige and look innocent and fluffy, but their larvae can cause painful inflammations. A poodle moth would also fit because it's almost pure white.

Ok so the only reason I pick magpie is because those bastards are smart as hell but also know how and when to inconvenience the shit out of you, and if you gain their trust then they're absolute darlings but if they decide "nah, dont like ya" then you're basically done and you'll wake up every morning with shit on your car window. I also chose sheep/ram cuz I mean... idk it suits him. I don't remember my other choice but I'm sure I had a good reason.

I feel like a barn owl would suit him well but I'm not really sure why, I also think that a moth would suit him really well because of the whole "moth to a flame" thing and as a demon he would have gotten burned because of that attitude.

I write a reverse AU fic called Lambs to the Slaughter where Aziraphale's demonic aspect is an albino sheep! I imagine him as a mix between a wild Argali ram and the first woolly domestics. I chose an Argali because they're the largest species of wild sheep, but I wanted him to have traits of a domestic breed because he obtains his animal aspect from a sheep in Abel's flock which would be several generations down from the original wild species in Eden. I really think a sheep suits Aziraphale! They're an incredibly common animal and have been since they were first domesticated. Likewise, since the start of human history, Aziraphale has been living side-by-side with humans, providing for them, and protecting them. Due to how common they are, sheep are often unnoticed, which Aziraphale leans into. Crowley wants to stand out. He has a dedicated aesthetic and an obsession with human invention, where Aziraphale leans more towards simpler, known things and creature comforts. He fades into the background, and that suits him fine. He doesn't have to be outstanding to Heaven or to humans or even to Crowley -- it's enough to do his part, to trust in a bigger plan. People associate sheep (especially lambs) with innocence or ignorance which foils nicely to Crowley as the serpent tempting with knowledge, as well as with Aziraphale's own sharp mind and ongoing embers of faith in a system that is failing him, Crowley, and all of humanity. Sheep are, like Aziraphale, soft, cute, and hiding a hard-headed stubbornness and a surprising strength that makes them absolutely fearsome. Aziraphale is very much the sort to put his head down and push relentlessly forward regardless of the pressure and strain. Rams in particular have thick skulls to withstand the brutal force of headbutting one another in displays of dominance. While Aziraphale is clever, he's not above rolling up his sleeves and getting the job done, as messy and unpleasant as it might be (see: pulling a gun on the Antichrist). Also sheep are associated with Pan, a god associated with food, music, theatre, and the criticism thereof, which hit many of Aziraphale's personal interests and hobbies! I like the idea that in a reverse AU, the demon formerly named Aziraphale might be the original basis for Pan!

I wrote in Orangutan for the first question because if I remember correctly they are some of the most violent apes. Although I'd accept bonobo for him too. They fuck alll the time.

mothman aziraphale,,,,, thats it

Snowy owl, speremint's tortoise, and I just adore the goat.

moth - dusty and eats books

Long Furby the way Loni-Capri draws it.

I keep thinking about that Black Philip quote "doest thou wish to live deliciously" because... it fits so much with the general epicurean/hedonism vibe the Fandom has for him ... but in a demonic way and also I think a lot abt that art piece (already referenced many times probably but what the hell) of him climbing his own bookshelves, it's just so good!!

Albino Lion/white lion (matches his hair).  I feel like maybe I should explain why I think Lion would fit him best, lol. Lions actually are rather sedate, inactive for 20 hours of the day (see: Aziraphale reading and unmoving- yes I pulled wiki for this to make sure I didn't spout anything terribly wrong, shhh)  but also there's nomad lions. Lions that range widely and move around sporadically either alone or in pairs (*looks at Crowley after apoconope*) (pairs are more frequent among males who have been excluded from their birth pride)  but also I think of lions as protectors, defenders, and what is Aziraphale if not that? If not an angel who fiercely protects humans, crowley, earth? (When he finally overcomes heaven and it's abuse) lions don't hunt unless they're hungry, don't attack unless they're defending. They've been known to sit directly next to jeeps full of people and just watch them, not attacking or being aggresive.

I saw art once (I have no idea who the artist is) of Demon!Aziraphale climbing his bookcases like a goat and absentmindedly chewing on his sweater while he reads. I felt like the goat aspect suited him perfectly.

Honestly I wrote Az with a rat aspect because, well, it fits who I see demon Az as. He's not super powerful but he is very consequential, like rats carrying plague fleas (this also describes how I see Az tempting). He tries to blend into a crowd, which is arguably one way rats survive, and can get himself into places/situations that should be impossible or super difficult. Like snakes, rats have been unfairly maligned by our culture for a long time, even though they are very social with their colonies, smart, affectionate, and generally good beans. Finally, male pet rats are known far and wide as the lazier of the sexes while the girls are super curious and adventurous.

Somehow his tartan pattern becomes either his colour scheme or his coat/feather pattern.

Eurasian eagle owl. A big, unapologetic grump of an owl that is soft as soft can be underneath. Possessor of the glare to end all glares to be used in such dire situations as being interrupted when reading or being told one has "had enough cake".

With LWJ’s love of rabbits y’all are missing the REAL amazing modern AU where LWJ owns an angora bunny farm and also raises goats and sheep cause trust me he’s makin yarn from the fiber and that means you fall right down the rabbit hole and oh goats and sheep wouldnt be all that different until one day he and his brother are on a yarn crawl because obviously now they knit but LWJ is mainly lookin for slutty slutty new fibers to play with and WWX didn’t even realize there was a yarn crawl today he just got off a 7 day exam week and is half alive bouncing a fussy toddler on his hip while chatting with little A-Yuan (the toddler that his roommates cousins dropped off nearly a year ago and Never Came Back For) and asking if little babums Yuan-er wants a pair of matching sockies with A-Die and A-Yuan just makes whiny didn’t-take-a-nap-today noises and says that yes he would very much like matching sockies with A-Die and now they’re picking out nice yarn colours together so WWX can make them matchy matchy, and LWJ is all 💖.💖 as he looks at them and LXC drags him over and makes soft cooing noises at baby Yuan-er while asking what fiber WWX is planning because wittle feets may not be attached to heavy bodies, but whatever little feet covers this boy gets are probably gonna get some wear and tear to them and they chat yarn while Yuan-er drops down and attaches himself to LWJ’s leg because the adults are boring and talking about boring things and now WWX and LXC are exchanging Instagrams to show off their knits/spins/crochets and WWX gushes over how nice it would be to learn to spin fiber himself and LXC just politely mentions that LWJ’s Insta is full of spinning pics cause it’s his fave but also bunnies and LWJ is making friends for life with Yuan-er by petting his hair and using quiet-voice to talk about the fiber he’s got in his bags and tbh there’s no plot to this idk why y’all stuck on this long by bed is covered (Covered) in spinning projects rn and I want LWJ to raise angora rabbits.

Fire Family: Goat Edition!

My neighbor has 9 bratty baby goats who are always escaping and causing chaos. So have Firestar’s extended family as sassy ungulates. I want adventures of Squirrel, Leaf and White growing up together as kids and raising hell. I think Squirrel was a bit of a brat when she was small...

Cloudtail is an angora goat. Brightheart is a Lamancha. Sandstorm is a Nubian and Firestar is a Kalahari red goat.
