GENDERNEUTRAL | FLUFF | SEOKSOL DAY

Wc: 456

Taglist: @pastel-princess-please @kiki-woo @fishsquishh

Heh 😅 So I’m a little late with their birthday post but oh well! I didn’t have time to write two full fics for both of them but I did want to write something for our birthday twins! ~ 👑🐰💛

DK

• I think Seokmin absolutely loves his birthday, he loves being able to spend a day with his loved one, eat some good food or do something that he absolutely loves

• He’d especially love spending his birthday with his little baby because he knows that you get as excited as he does.

• Even if you weren’t feeling up to going out, he’d make plans for the two of you to celebrate at home.

• Whether that be a blanket fort and movies or baking a cake, he knew just the activity for you both to enjoy together.

• Seokmin never expects anything from you, he’s always just thrilled to be spending time with you. So imagine his surprise when you present him with a handmade card and gift bag:

Seokmin took the two items, a shocked expression across his face.

“This for me sunshine?” He asked softly. You nod furiously with a wide smile.

“Uh huh! Open da card first!” You said excitedly. Seokmin ripped the envelope and pulled out your handmade card. He couldn’t help the smile that grew on his face as he saw the two suns on the front, covered in glitter. He read through it and turned back to you. He pulled you in for a tight hug and placed lots of kisses across your cheek.

“I love it! You did such a good job.” He said happily.

“You really like it?” You asked through giggles.

“I love it so much sunshine, thank you.”

Vernon

• I can imagine Vernon isn’t really that fussed about doing a lot for his birthday. He likes the little gestures

• You’ve probably spent the day either at home watching movies or going to stores to spoil your daddy despite his protests

• At the end of the day you were tucked up in bed with Vernon, watching some random film he had put on

• You were hugging your plushie close to your chest and your mind was reeling. You looked up at Vernon who was scrolling through his phone:

“Daddy?” You asked quietly, not wanting to disturb him. He tore his eyes away from his phone and looked down at you.

“Yeah?” He asked.

“Have you had a good birthday?” You asked worriedly. Vernon frowned and he noticed you picking at the fabric of your plushie. He reached over and took your hand.

“I’ve had the best birthday, you’ve done nothing but spoil me and I’m supposed to be the one doing that to you!” He rolled his eyes playfully to make you laugh.

“I just wanted it to be special.” You said, a shy smile on your face. Vernon leaned down to kiss your head.

“And you did that darling. I’ve had the best day. Promise.” He reassured you.

🧸Endnote: A very (late) happy birthday to both Seokmin and Vernon! I love them both so much and I hope they had the bestest day ever ❤️ ~ 👑🐰💛

DEACON X HONDO X NICHELLE CG FINDING OUT STREET IS A LITTLE BECAUSE OF A STORM-

The fact that I totally could’ve wrote this but I have no motivation so I’m asking you 🙃

Luv ya <33

-🏡

Staying | Nichelle x Deacon Kay x Hondo Harrelson x Jim Street

background: established relationship between nichelle/deacon/Hondo

a/n: this has been in my drafts for so long and doesn’t really have a full ending but I wanted to post it

warnings: storms, anxiety

───°˖✧✿✧˖° ───

~

Hondo bites his lip as he stares at how Streets desperately trying to cover his shaking hands, it’s not a violent shake but it’s definitely a shake. It had started- more when Hondo first noticed it- about an hour ago when the storm had really picked up.

It’s not totally insane for Street to get worked up when storms happen, the whole teams seen how jumpy he gets, or the way his eyes flick to the windows every five seconds like he’s waiting for the lightning to actually burst through the glass. It never makes it easier for Hondo to see the kid so distressed though.

“Why don’t you come stay at my place tonight? Deacon and Nichelle probably have some dinner going.” David being off shift normally leads to him and Nichelle spending all day in the kitchen while Hondos at work, whether or not the food is edible depends on the day.

“Yeah, okay.” There’s far too much hesitant to the words for Hondo to be even a bit eased but Street agreed so that’s what he needs to focus on.

~

“Kid? We’re almost home, it’s alright.” Street nods though it doesn’t seem full hearted at all, he’s shifted around the passenger seat to almost hug his knees to his chest as the storm grows louder.

The rain has picked up heavily, lightning making the sky flash every few moments, thunder that’s booming so loud Hondos sure the whole state can hear it, and Streets been getting progressively more and more tucked into himself. Also trying to get closer to Hondo, no matter the center console of Hondos car being in the way.

“Street? Hey, it’s alright, I’m right here.” Hondo feels his heart strings pull when Streets hand frantically grabs Hondos bicep at a bright flash of lighting, Hondo can’t really do much more than allow his hand to drop from the steering wheel to let Street cling to it. Which he does.

His hands instantly held tightly, that shake from earlier shows up again in Streets hand, it’s not a painful hold but Hondo steps on the gas. There’s nothing he wouldn’t do for Street and right now it looks like comfort is in order, he knows Nichelle and Deacon are waiting for the pair, Hondo had sent out a text, Hondo just hopes they’ve gotten the drift of how bad Streets anxiety is.

~

They get to the house in one piece, it’s all Hondo could’ve hoped for, aside from maybe the storm calming down but that’s unlikely from the looks of it.

“Come on, we can go sit on the couch and relax.” Street stares out the window in almost horror at how much it’s raining, they’ll both be soaked with no argument about it.

“It won’t be that bad, just a few seconds to get to the door.” Streets done far worse than running the few feet in the rain to the door, Hondo knows first hand how Streets sprinted after people in a down pour.

Although right now feels different, a lot of things feel different in this car. Streets body language being one of the main ones, he just looks so vulnerable, so scared, small, like a terrified little kid.

“Kid look at me, it’s going to be okay. We can get you all dried off when we get inside, you won’t even be wet for more than a few minutes.” Hondos really grasping for straws now, but thankfully Street nods and that gives enough for Hondo to let go of Streets hand then slip out of his door.

The rain is cold and pelting, an uncomfortable feeling of wet clothes sticking to his skin quickly appears but Hondo pushes past it, moving to open Streets door to make sure he actually gets out of the truck.

Though Hondo can’t help but be taken off guard at the stone grip Streets hand takes his in as soon as his feet hit the ground, he clings to Hondos side throughout the two minute walk over to the door. Hondos seen Street walk a little closer to his side or how his hand was held in the car but it was nothing like how frantic it is now, he seems petrified.

“Welcome home- jeez you two are cold.” Nichelle has the door thrown open in seconds, wrapping a towel over Hondo and Streets shoulders while Deacon stands with warm clothes behind her.

“It’s really storming out there huh?” Nichelle takes to ruffling Streets hair under the towel, smiling at the locks sticking up in every which way, before she’s helping him shrug his jacket off to hang up to dry off.

“Yeah, pretty cold.” Hondos head tips towards Street, his eyebrows doing a weird dance on his face as he tries to convey how different Streets acting right now, Nichelle just nods shortly, as does Deacon.

~

The pair get changed into the clothes Deacon offers, Hondo and Deacon shuffling around the kitchen to make some tea while Nichelle and Street cuddle up on the couch. There’s some movie playing, Hondo can’t name it from how little he hears it but if he peaks his head around the corner he can tell it’s an animated one. No doubt something Nichelle put on since Street tends to stick to action movies.

“What are we watching?” Deacon asks, placing the two cups of tea for Street and Nichelle onto the coffee table.

It gives enough time for Hondo to glance over the position Nichelle and Street are in, he’s curled into her side as tightly as he can be, her arm draped over his back with her hand rubbing against his spine, while her other hand reaches to brush through Streets hair.

“It’s the princess and the frog, classic comfort movie.” Nichelle informs, getting a hum of agreement from Street.

“Tired kid?” Hondo chuckles small, it looks like Street could knock out at any second, he just nods against Nichelles middle.

“You wanna stay here tonight?” She questions softly.

“Uh-huh.” Street agrees, tugging his arm around Nichelles waist to pull her in closer, there’s something so childlike about the action that Hondo smiles over to Nichelle, she’s too busy cooing down at Street to see it though.

“Such a sweetheart.” Hondo can only catch little bits of what Nichelles whispering down to Street but he definitely hears that, and notes the tone on her voice is one he’s heard her use on kids when he stops in to visit her when she’s working.

“Don’t you agree Hondo?” Nichelle suddenly turns towards both her partners, raising a brow as if they have any idea what she’s talking about.

“Totally, I agree a hundred percent.” Maybe Deacon has more insight than Hondo does since he immediately nods yes, it makes Streets cheeks go red before he buries himself into Nichelles middle.

“Hondo?” Nichelle inquires with a slight head tilt down til Hondo nods too.

“Anything you want babe.” Not that Hondo has a single clue as to what he just agreed to.

“That settles it, you’re never going back to Lucas and you’re trapped here forever!” She exclaims big and animated, chuckling herself when Street starts to giggle at Nichelles teasing.

“Sorry, what was that? You gotta speak up baby.” Nichelle pauses her laughing when Street mumbles something impossibly small, he shifts up on the couch to nuzzle against Nichelles shoulder with a huff.

“Can’t keep me, Luca will miss me.” Nichelle tsks her tongue in protest.

“Nonsense, he can come visit. You’re never escaping us, I’m sure Luca can fight with Hondo for you, a fight to the death I suppose?” She taps a finger at her chin, grinning widely while Street shakes his head.

“No? Well then you’re stuck with us, to never return to Lucas.” Nichelle throws her arm over Street, pulling him even closer to her chest, he wraps around in no time at all.

“Luca can’t fight Hondo, he’d lose!” Street explains, only making Nichelle start to laugh more and Deacon join in on the chuckles, Hondo can’t help but laugh a little too.

“Deacon then? I think Deac might cheat though.” Nichelle half whispers to Street.

“No! They’d both beat Luca, he can’t fight! You could beat him!” A bark of a laugh escapes Hondos throat when he notices that Deacon is discreetly recording this, no doubt to tell Luca about Street thinking he can’t fight.

“Oh I could? Should I try? I don’t know, Luca looks pretty big.” Nichelle purses her lips.

“If you gotta fight him I’ll do it for you, your hairs too fancy.” Nichelle hums a big smile onto her face at the very serious sounding statement.

“I see, I see. Can’t risk the hair can we?”

“Mm-Mm. S’too pretty.”

════════════════════════════════

It was a very well known fact that Seungcheol loved to take pictures. He loved capturing bits of his life and memorializing them forever. None of that changed, even after you started dating. He just had a new subject to photograph. A new muse.

Despite finding his need to constantly photograph you silly, you were happy to oblige him when he wanted to snap a picture of you in the kitchen or when you were out on a date. He just loved to take photos of you so he could look at you even when you weren’t around.

Early on in your relationship, Seungcheol made it obvious that he was in charge in the bedroom and when you finally opened up about your kinks, he was totally on board. Most of the time he was Seungcheol, leader of Seventeen, S.Coups and you were his girlfriend Y/N.

But there were times, especially when you needed to be taken care of, where you were his baby and he fell into the role of caregiver as your daddy and nothing filled him with a strong sense of pride quite like you putting your trust in him entirely.

“You taste so good,” Seungcheol groaned, licking his lips. Your fingers tightened in his hair, a whimper escaping you as you felt his tongue drag against you. He’d always been vocal about how much he enjoyed going down on you. Even if he didn’t get his dick wet, he could eat you out for hours and he’d done it before.

“Cheol,” you moaned as the tip of his tongue swirled your clit before his lips wrapped around it and he sucked softly. “Yes baby?” He asked, pulling away for only a moment. “Nothing,” you breathed, waving your hand. “Don’t stop.” Seungcheol’s lips pulled into a smile briefly before he continued, licking and teasing your clit.

One of his hands held your hip, your thighs over his shoulders, while the other moved to push your thigh back, opening you up to him more. His tongue disappeared sliding into your hole while his nose bumped against your swollen clit. He groaned against you, the vibrations making your body shudder.

Your stomach muscles tightened as you felt your impending orgasm approach only for Seungcheol to pull away, letting it fall flat, making you whine in protest as he sat up, wiping his mouth and chin with his shirt before moving to lean over you, lips finding yours as one of his hands snuck down your stomach, fingers skimming your skin until he was pushing two fingers inside your wet cunt, making you moan against his lips.

“God I can’t wait to fill you up,” he mumbled, his fingers moving slowly in and out of you, scissoring them to make sure you were more than prepared to take him. No matter how many times you had sex, he always had to take his time to properly prepare you before he could get his cock inside you.

One of the many things you loved about him. His laugh, his eyes, his dimples, his morning voice, and his massive—

“Hey,” he said softly, drawing your attention back to him. “Where did you go?” He asked, an amused smile forming on his face. Your cheeks burned and you shook your head. “Oh, come on baby,” he purred, dragging his fingers against your walls. “You can tell me.” You shook your head again, too embarrassed to speak.

“Were you thinking about my cock?” He asked suddenly, surprising you and making you gasp.

“N-no!” You lied but Seungcheol could see through it. “It’s okay, baby girl. I know you love daddy’s cock,” he said, leaning down to press his lips to your cheek as you whined in embarrassment. He pulled back, a grin present on his lips, dimples on display. “You don’t have to feel embarrassed, baby,” he cooed.

“Do you want it now?” He asked, slowing his fingers and waiting for you to answer. Nodding, you mumbled out a yes, cheeks still flushed.

“All you had to do was ask, little one,” Seungcheol answered, pulling his fingers from you and sitting up. You watched as he stripped, removing his clothes and tossing them towards the hamper in the corner of the room, not caring whether or not he made the throw.

“Top or bottom?” He asked climbing back onto the bed. “Bottom,” you whispered as he hovered over you. “Of course,” he said with a smirk. “My little pillow princess,” he added, taking you in a searing kiss. “How do you want it?”

You knew he was asking if you wanted it rough or soft. He always asked this and you’d be lying if you said it didn’t turn you on even more, that he was able to prioritize your experience and pleasure over his own.

“Slow,” you murmured. “Hmm?” Seungcheol asked, enjoying the way you blushed and squirmed under him. “I didn’t hear that princess.”

“I want it slow, daddy,” you blurted out, the eternal flush on your cheeks burning just as much as before.

“Slow?” Seungcheol asked, dipping his head to kiss your neck, lips dragging up to your ear. “You want daddy to take it slow?” He asked again, making you nod. “Want me to make love to you?” He whispered. “Yes,” you breathed out as you felt him grind against your soaked center.

“If my baby wants it slow, then she’ll get it slow,” he muttered, guiding the tip of his cock to your slit, brushing against you teasingly before pushing past your folds, gliding the head in. Your back arched off the mattress, one hand gripping the sheets under you, the other grabbing his arm, squeezing his bicep.

“Always so tight for me,” Seungcheol whispered, kissing the tip of your nose. “Relax, sweetheart. Let me take care of you.” As your body relaxed under him, Seungcheol was able to glide in further, your tight walls welcoming him with erratic fluttering as he slid in further and further until he was fully encased inside you.

“Eyes on me, pretty,” he said softly as he stilled inside of you. Your eyes met his and you felt your cheeks burn and the urge to look away but you held his gaze. A smile spread across his face as he reached up to caress your cheek. “That’s it,” he said sweetly. “There’s my girl.”

You whined at the amount of affection he was giving you, your hand on his arm squeezing softly. “Daddy, please,” you whimpered, attempting to move your hips but his weight on you kept you in place. “Please move.”

Seungcheol let out a chuckle and nuzzled your cheek. “Since you asked so nicely,” he murmured, pulling out before pushing back in slowly. It felt good but not enough to give you what you were craving.

“Faster, daddy, please,” you whispered. “Faster?” Seungcheol asked, keeping the same languid pace. “But you asked for it like this. Said you wanted it slow. This is slow, baby,” he murmured, pressing short chaste kisses to your cheek. “Do you want it faster?” He whispered in your ear. “Yes,” you gasped as he gave you a sharp thrust. “Yes, daddy,” you answered.

“Then I guess I can give you what you want,” he muttered, hips moving faster, burying his cock deep inside you with each thrust. You moaned loudly, walls clenching around him. “You’re so responsive,” Seungcheol noted. “You react so well to me.”

Your brain was understanding him but unable to form a response except in whimpers and moans. Seungcheol didn’t seem to mind, instead focusing on keeping a steady pace and not pounding into you like his instincts told him to.

“Oh, shit,” you cursed, immediately regretting the words when you heard Seungcheol click his tongue. ‘Fuck.’

“We’ve talked about this before, little girl,” he said in a darker tone. “I’m sorry, daddy,” you replied quickly. “It just slipped out. I won’t do it again,” you tried to backpedal but Seungcheol wasn’t having it.

You whined as he pulled out of you, sitting back and grabbing your hips to roll you over onto your stomach. “We’ve talked about your language,” he said, pulling you back onto his lap. “You know the rules,” he added as he held you still. “No, please, I’m sorry!” You whimpered frantically, crying out when you felt his hand land a sharp smack to your ass.

“Me too, baby. You know I’d rather be making you feel good but we have rules for a reason.” Your body jumped as you felt another blow land in the same spot. “I’m sorry, daddy. I’m so sorry,” you whimpered, holding back a sob as his hand made contact once more with the same spot before rubbing it soothingly.

“I think three is enough,” he said as he continued to caress the reddened skin of your bottom. “Keep this in mind and think before you speak, little one,” he added, leaning over to kiss your shoulder.

“Are you okay?” He whispered, checking to make sure he hadn’t hurt you. Nodding, it took a moment to form a sentence. “Yes. I’m okay.” Seungcheol pressed another kiss to your shoulder before letting you go.

You climbed off his lap but only made it a short distance away before he was pushing you onto your stomach.

“Hold still,” he said sternly, keeping one hand on your shoulder, the other gripping your hip and pulling up so your ass was raised. “You still want it slowly?” He asked, his voice low. You nodded, turning your head to the side as your cheek was pressed to the mattress. “Do you trust me?” His voice was even softer now.

You nodded, letting out a sigh as you felt his cock grind against you.

“I trust you.”

Seungcheol wasted no time, pushing back into you from behind, snapping his hips in evenly timed thrusts, his cock hitting deeper in this new position and the angle making you see stars in your vision with each measured thrust.

“Does that feel good, baby?” He growled, watching the way your ass bounced each time his hips hit you. “Feels so good, daddy,” you moaned, fingers curling into the sheets. “Cock feels so good!”

Seungcheol let out a chuckle. “Can’t even form full sentences? Is it that good?” He asked, keeping a firm hold on your hip, his other hand keeping your chest pressed against the mattress. “Is daddy fucking you dumb?”

A whimper left your parted lips but you couldn’t deny it when he was right. You couldn’t form a full sentence. He’d once again rendered you speechless with just a few sharp thrusts.

Seungcheol glanced to the bedside table where his phone sat and had an idea. He loved to memorialize most moments with you and this was no different.

He slowed his hips. “Grab my phone,” he ordered, moving his hand from your back. “W-what?” You asked, being lost in another world from how good his cock felt that you hadn’t heard him properly.

“Grab my phone from the bedside table, angel,” he repeated, nodding towards the device.

You reached out, grabbing the edge of the phone and held it up for him to grab from you.

“Stay still,” he warned, opening his camera and lining up the shot. He snapped a couple point of view pictures before turning the camera to video and pressing the start button. His hips continued to snap forward, thrusting hard and deep into you, making you moan out. On screen it looked amazing.

Your reddened ass from his earlier punishment, the way your ass bounced with each thrust, the base of his cock visible every time he pulled back, even the way your fists gripped the sheets.

He knew he was going to save this for later use.

After ending the recording, he locked the screen and tossed his phone to the side on the bed and gave you a few more thrusts before pulling out with a hiss. You whined as he rolled you over, spreading your thighs and sliding his cock back into you.

Your thighs rested on his as he grabbed his phone with one hand and your waist with the other. He opened the camera again, snapping a couple pictures before starting another recording.

You moaned out, keeping a firm grip on the sheets as your boyfriend resumed the same pace from before.

You looked up to see the phone in his hand and whined. “Are you recording this?” you gasped.

You could see the smirk on Seungcheol’s face. “Shh,” he said, letting go of your hip and moving to caress your cheek, his thumb brushing your lip and entering your mouth when you parted your lips. He let out a growl as you sucked on his thumb, his thrusts increasing in speed.

“Such a dirty little girl,” he grunted. You moaned around his thumb, whining when he pulled his hand from your face, fingers skimming down the skin of your neck past your collar, stopping to cup your breast and squeeze gently. “You gonna cum for me?” Seungcheol rasped out, his hand traveling down your stomach and stopping just above where your bodies met.

You nodded quickly, moaning when you felt his thumb start rubbing against your clit in time with his thrusts. He pointed the camera down where he could see his cock disappear repeatedly inside your warm cunt. “Be a good girl and cum for daddy,” Seungcheol groaned, continuing to record as your walls convulsed around his cock.

“That’s it,” he breathed as your moans grew in volume and pitch until your thighs attempted to close but he pushed them apart with one hand, keeping one thigh pinned as he continued to thrust into you. “You’re gonna make me cum,” he moaned. “D-daddy,” you whimpered as your walls clenched around him again.

“Oh fuck,” Seungcheol groaned, hips stuttering as his cock twitched inside you. He came with a loud moan, his release coating your walls as he continued to fuck you through his high until he slowed to a stop. Keeping the camera trained on your cunt, he slowly pulled out, moving to record your fluttering hole as his cum slowly spilled out of you.

He pushed his cum back into you with two fingers before turning off the recording and setting his phone aside.

“I can’t believe you recorded that!” You finally said after coming down from your high. “Don’t worry, baby,” he said, continuing to push his cum back into you as it tried to escape.

“That’s for my eyes only.”

Sicktember Day 5: Rogue Organ

Fandom: Seventeen

Sickie: DK/Seokmin (tonsilitis)

Caregiver(s): Vocal Line

Word Count: 1266

Notes: Medical inaccuracies who? Also, for the timeline, we're putting 'late award season' around early January cause I was getting overwhelmed looking at different lists. Also, was this inspired by this post by @btshurtcomfortprompts? Yes, it was, but it clearly took shape for a different group, so I do apologize for that.

“Wait. Are you sick again?” Seungkwan asked after Seokmin’s coughing fit subsided. The older vocalist shrugged noncommittally, rubbing at the base of his throat. “Hyung, that’s like… the fourth time in as many months. That’s not normal.” Seokmin mumbled something unintelligible as his head fell into his arms folded on the table. Seungkwan looked desperately between Jeonghan and Joshua. “Guys, this isn’t normal!” 

The two older members exchanged a glance. No, this certainly wasn’t normal. Seungkwan wasn’t exaggerating: Seokmin had indeed fallen ill several times in the last few months. It had started near the end of award season, when a nasty cold had spread around the whole team. No one had really batted an eye when he was sick again in early February, assuming he’d jumped back into work too fast after bug from January. March had seen the members completing more solo activities, coming and going at such odd hours that his third cold had almost gone completely unnoticed, except for the watchful eye of Soonyoung and Seungkwan, who’d forced him to the doctor for antibiotics. Which had helped. Obviously, temporarily.

Joshua pulled out his phone. “I can call our company doctors and see if they…”

“No, no doctor.” Seokmin cut him off with a violent shake of his head. “I’m fine. It’s probably just overuse.” He missed the way Jeonghan and Joshua’s eyes narrowed at that excuse, how they made eye contact. 

“Okay, first of all, overuse doesn’t cause a cough like that,” Jeonghan argued. He crossed his arms over his chest, worried hyung-mode activated. “Second, you take incredibly good care of your voice so it doesn’t get overused. And third, we haven’t even done anything recently that could even cause…”

“Okay, hyung, I hear you.” There was an edge in Seokmin’s voice none of them were used to hearing. Seungkwan grabbed Joshua’s shoulder, confusion and worry clear on his face. 

“What’s with the attitude?” Jeonghan asked. 

“It’s not an attitude. I just don’t appreciate being treated like a child.” Jeonghan scoffed at that, and Seokmin glared up at him. “I’m serious, hyung! I can make my own health decisions, and I say no doctor.”

“Seokmin, you’re being ridiculous. It can’t hurt to at least see a doctor…” 

“I’M NOT GOING!” Joshua and Seungkwan both jumped at the volume of Seokmin’s voice. Jeonghan flinched away too. All three were frozen in shock as Seokmin bent over coughing again. When the fit finally left him, gasping wheezily, he whispered, “Please don’t make me go. Please.” With those words, Seokmin shrunk in on himself, hiding his face in his hands. The silence that followed was palpable. The remaining three members’ eyes volleyed back and forth.

Joshua moved first, sliding into the chair next to Seokmin. He gently wove his hands with the younger man’s, noting how Seokmin’s muscles tensed at his touch. “Why don’t you want to see a doctor?” Joshua asked, voice quiet, as if they were the only people in the room. 

Seokmin finally raised his eyes. Joshua did his best not to flinch at the tears clouding his friend’s vision. “Cause last time I was there, they said it might be my tonsils and that I’d have to get them out!” The last word was choked by a sob that sent the tears pouring down his face. 

“Oh, honey.” Joshua pulled Seokmin to him, allowing the younger vocalist to completely break down. Seungkwan ran to the other side of Seokmin’s chair, rubbing his friend’s back. 

“It hurts so much,” Seokmin cried, words muffled in Joshua’s shoulder. 

“I’m sure it does, if it’s your tonsils,” Joshua replied. 

“Hyung, it might not be the worst thing to get them out, though,” Seungkwan suggested carefully. “That would stop the pain.”

“But…” Seokmin took a shuddering breath, sitting up from Joshua’s embrace to look at them both. “But what if something goes wrong?” 

“Goes wrong?” Joshua asked. He gently tucked Seokmin’s hair behind his ear, attempting to maintain as much contact as possible. 

Seokmin nodded, clearly trying not to sob again. “What if they ruin my voice and I can’t… I can’t sing any-anymore?!” The hiccup in his voice triggered another cough.  

Joshua smoothed away a tear from Seokmin’s cheek. “Baby, that has to be so rare.” 

“But not impossible!”

“Minnie, look.” Jeonghan, who had appeared without any of them realizing it, thrust his phone between the trio, pointing to a highlighted quote on the screen. “I’ve been doing research and it says that it’s a myth that tonsillectomies change your voice. They don’t even touch your vocal cords.” Seokmin took the phone, rereading the screen several times. He clicked out of the article, scrolling through other articles from Jeonghan’s search. “Plus, if you do get your tonsils out, that means unlimited popsicles.”  

“That’s not helping right now,” Seokmin admitted simply, eyes still glued to the phone. Joshua patted Jeonghan’s back, a ‘thank you’ for trying. 

“Well you know what might help?” Seokmin didn’t even have time to respond before Seungkwan threw his arms around him from behind, crushing him in a hug that nearly squeezed the phone from his hand. With the speed of vipers, Joshua and Jeonghan swooped in, capturing their sunshine from all sides. “What do you say now? Feel any better?”

“A little bit,” Seokmin conceded, even though fresh tears were brimming in his eyes. But that had more to do with the love of his members than the pain in his throat or the fear that came with that pain. “Thank you.”

“What else are we good for?” Jeonghan joked. A ripple of laughter passed through the group hug. 

“But I still don’t want to see the doctor.”

“It’s not a matter of want anymore, hyung,” Seungkwan replied. “

Seokmin rolled his eyes. “I said I didn’t want to, not that I wouldn’t go.” 

“Well now you’re just being difficult.”

“Did I… miss something?”

Instead of breaking apart, the four men assembled in the group hug simply craned their necks to see Jihoon standing in the doorway looking desperately confused. 

“Dokyeomie needs to get his tonsils out,” Jeonghan explained. “So we are providing him moral support and positive vibes.” 

Without a word, Jihoon hurried to join the hug. “I’m so sorry, Kyeomie.” 

“It’s okay. I had a bad feeling it was coming when the doctor said it last month.” He laughed once, a tad of embarrassment hidden in the noise. “And I may or may not have overreacted a bit about it this morning.” 

“What? You? Overreacting? Never!” Jeonghan gasped much to the delight of his dongsaeng who nudged him, shuffling the whole hug in the process. 

“I assume that means you haven’t told anyone about this yet?” Jihoon sighed. 

Joshua shook his head. “It was kinda hard to call a manager with a friend so severely upset.” Seokmin gently rested his forehead against Joshua’s shoulder, a soft ‘thank you’ for the support that shoulder had provided just moments before. 

“So what I’m hearing is that you have no real confirmation that your tonsils need to come out…”

“Hyung, please don’t give me hope. I want to keep my delusions low.”

“I think that’s nearly impossible for you, hyung,” Seungkwan said in reply. “But I admire your delusion in your own delusions.” Seokmin attempted to elbow him, managing to hit Jeonghan instead and setting off a minor skirmish that ended in the breakup of the group hug. But the hug had served its purpose: all five of them, especially their precious Seokmin, were laughing together. And that laughter would carry them through, no matter what the doctor had to say.

Sexual Abuse in Day Care: A National Study http://www.eric.ed.gov/PDFS/ED292552.pdf Executive Summary – March 1988 – Finklehor, Williams, Burns, Kalinowski “The study identified 270 “cases” of sexual abuse in day care meaning 270 facilities where substantiated abuse had occurred involving a total of 1639 victimized children….This yielded an estimate of 500 to 550 reported and substantiated cases and 2500 victims for the three-year period. Although this is a large number, it must be put in the context of 229,000 day care facilities nationwide service seven million children….allegations of ritual abuse (“the invocation of religious, magical or supernatural symbols of activities”) occurred in 13% of the cases.” The authors divided these cases into “true cult-based ritual,” pseudo-ritualism” with a primary goal of sexual gratification and ritual being used to intimidate the children from disclosing and “psychopathological ritualism” the activities being “primarily the expression of an individuals obsessional or delusional system.”

Why dk you like Changbin? I like him too but didn't expect you to like him, thought you'd like Felix or Hyunjin 💟

I can't really say I bias Changbin as such. Honestly, I struggle to bias anyone in Stray Kids (my subconscious self has issues with the "Kids" in the group title because I really dislike children). Changbin is the one I usually notice first. I remembered him first. So I say he's my bias despite the fact he's not really a member of my mental harem. Recently I have noticed I.N but again, not a regular bias still.

I can understand why people would expect me to bias Felix and Hyunjin. In general, I present myself as a caring dom so Felix and Hyunjin being the subs they are would make sense. But than again, I like challenge. And while I do naturally slip into the role of caregiver, I absolutely hate the idea of a person being dependant on me. 😊 What can I say. I'm really difficult and it's much better for me to forever live with dogs instead of trying to share my life with human beings. 😁

How to Foster Social and Emotional Development in Young Children by Carole Mugaisi

Carole Mugaisi

How to Foster Social and Emotional Development in Young Children by Carole Mugaisi

Social and emotional development is central to children's success, including forming strong relationships, managing emotions and feelings appropriately, and making responsible decisions.

Children acquire these skills by watching adults and other children interact and experiencing them for themselves. Here are a few strategies you can employ to encourage social and emotional development:

1. Provide a Safe Environment

Carole Mugaisi illustrates that young children must feel emotionally healthy to thrive socially and emotionally, which means feeling safe in relationships with family members, teachers, caregivers, and peers. When children feel safe, they can pay attention, learn self-control behaviors, and express feelings openly. Strong bonds with others allow young children to develop positive self-views while understanding more fully the world they inhabit.

In classroom settings, this means providing ample space for children to interact, making sure toys and materials promote social interactions in areas of interest (e.g., dress-up clothes, blocks, puppets, and balls), reading books that highlight friendship, helping others, emotions, empathy as well as overall facility layout including exits and safety features necessary for large groups.

Books such as Baby Faces from DK Publishing or Todd Parr's The Feelings Book can help students recognize and label emotions and develop their ability to recognize and name emotions. You could also engage them in playing "Name That Feeling" games, which require them to guess the emotion others are feeling by looking at their eyes and eyebrows.

2. Nurture Your Child's Self-Esteem

Carole Mugaisi emphasizes that building a positive self-image is one of the cornerstones of social and emotional development, beginning as early as infanthood, through nurturing interactions with parents, teachers, and caregivers.

Children develop their sense of themselves and the world through daily activities, from learning how to hold a cup or take their first steps, which builds pride for toddlers, to strengthening family ties and engaging in healthy daily routines with other adults and children in a safe environment.

Helping children develop a healthy sense of self-worth requires setting appropriate expectations and giving them opportunities to test themselves. Teaching reflection, reasoning, problem-solving, and encouraging failure is also necessary; children need to know that their effort matters regardless of the outcome, which builds their resiliency when faced with failure or challenge.

3. Give Your Child Opportunities to Express Their Feelings

Carole Mugaisi elucidates that children with robust social-emotional development can comprehend and express their emotions clearly and know how to get along with others - vital components for future success in school and life.

Encourage your child to discuss their emotions while being open about yours. Use "I feel" statements such as, "I feel sad because you aren't eating your carrots" to build their feeling vocabulary.

Games and activities can help reinforce emotion words. For instance, play charades where a teacher whispers an emotion to one student who acts it out for everyone else to guess. Or create different emotion faces and let your kids guess which emotion you are feeling!

If your child's expression of their feelings is inappropriate - for example, hitting, swearing, or hurtful remarks to others - set clear expectations on what you expect and how to address negative behaviors. Instead of punishing or shaming them, this can only discourage sharing emotions freely in future interactions with you.

4. Listen to Your Child's Cues

Children who can read and understand non-verbal signals (such as body language) tend to do better at learning new things. They can follow directions more effectively and have more successful social interactions with adults, friends, and other children.

Respond to your child's coos and cries, talk to them, name feelings, be patient when they have strong emotions, set firm but kind boundaries, help them play well with others, and offer positive reinforcement when their accomplishments exceed expectations while offering assistance during difficult times.

Carole Mugaisi specifies that you stay aware of your child's attention span and try not to overwhelm them with too much information all at once. Break things into smaller parts to make it easier for them to adopt new behaviors.

Children may misread social cues and think they're being disapproved of when this isn't necessarily true. Therefore, we must recognize this early and implement screening tools that thoroughly examine social-emotional development.

5. Encourage Social Interactions

Young children are still learning to interact with others. If you struggle to form bonds with peers or meet new people easily, you must teach them social skills to develop themselves as individuals.

Carole Mugaisi focuses on the fact that simple yet effective ways of doing this include role play in daily activities (e.g., pretending to order food at a restaurant with your child or using puppets to tell stories together) as well as talking with them throughout the day, and narrating their actions, teaching them how to interact with others effectively.

Encourage them to use their interests when playing with other children and ensure enough room for them to play together side-by-side. Also, embedding social interactions into classroom routines can be helpful (for instance, asking someone else to play in a center, including their ideas into group decision-making processes, or assigning daily visual schedule items such as "Ask Thomas for the red truck"). 

Helping children develop social skills is also accomplished by teaching them to read other people's emotions. This can be achieved by playing games like covering your mouth and eyebrows and having your child guess how you feel or using resources like KiddieMatters emotional checklist.

ARC Review: ABC Pride by Louie Stowell and Elly Barnes

Preorder

Add to Goodreads

Publication Date: June 14, 2022

Synopsis:

A is for Acceptance! B is for Belonging! C is for Celebrate! ABC Pride introduces little readers to the alphabet through the colourful world of Pride. Children can discover letters and words while also learning more about the LGBTQIA+ community and how to be inclusive. Every letter of the alphabet is paired with fun, bold illustrations to support language learning, and a handy list of discussion points at the end gives adults the tools to spark further conversations and discussion. ABC Pride offers a simple yet powerful way to explain gender, identity, ability to children, while supporting diverse family units. Ideal for children to explore together with a caregiver, or in the classroom.

My Rating: ★★★★★

My Review:

I loved this book and can't wait to read it with my second grader. Yes, he's maybe a tad older than the target audience but I think he'll still get a lot out of it and the amount of text is perfect for him to practice reading aloud.

The illustrations are cute and draw you in, and they're very diverse and inclusive! I was impressed with the way the illustrations feature a lot of racial diversity and a wide range of disabilities along with the LGBT+ diversity. Kudos to the illustrator because I don't think I've seen a more inclusive, diverse children's book.

I love the words that were chosen and the simple, easy-to-understand way they were each explained. For something that seems simple on the surface, there's a lot of thought that went into this book. I can already tell it will spark some reflection and thought in my kiddo.

*Thanks to NetGalley and DK Children for providing an e-arc for review.

Seventeen’s Vocal Unit as Holiday prompts

Jeonghan ♡

Mistletoe Mischief - Though Autumn was Jeonghan’s favorite season, Winter would be a close second if he could ever get over his aversion to cold temperatures. Especially after finding a new excuse to engage in one of his favorite activities. He’d catch you when you’d least expect it, terrorizing you throughout the entire Holiday season. He’d wait patiently for his reward once he retrieved his trusty mistletoe from his pocket, when you walk into a room to fetch something only to hear him clear his throat, holding it above your head with his lips puckered between short giggles.

“Gotcha!”, he grinned, wiggling his eyebrows,”I believe you owe me something. It’s the rules!”

Even if you sported a pout or even a scowl, you’d never get tired of his victorious smile and his glow when he received a kiss from his little angel.

Joshua ♡

Heart Melter - After a night (or a few nights) of making a mess and baking delicious treats together, you’d settle down in the living room, camping out for the night in a pile of pillows and plushies. After seemingly hours of whisperings and never leaving one another’s arms, he reveals he has a gift for you. If there was one thing about Joshua, it was that he was a gift giver. They were always genuine and thoughtful. So if he was giving you a gift around this time of year, it was going to be a heart melter.

“Do you like it, baby?”, he’d ask, tilting his head so he could look at you, patiently waiting for a response.

“I love it, Daddy!!”

Capturing you in his arms when you dove into them, his bunny smile wouldn’t leave his lips for the rest of the night.

Woozi ♡

The Season of Thoughtful Giving - Bonding during the holiday season comes in forms like shovelling the snow and salting the sidewalk, little unspoken gifts left on the counter and Jihoon doing extra tasks for you to lighten your workload without ever being asked. One thing that would always ensure it most difficult to suppress his smile would be pretending not to watch you open a gift he took what would be much too long to others to choose. The way you’d proudly show off his thoughtfulness for months after the holidays wasn’t the goal but it never failed to stroke his ego.

“Hoonie… you didn’t have to.”, you’d pout, fitting yourself in his arms, forcing his attention on you. His ‘it’s nothing’s smothered by your hugs and kisses. It’s the season of giving, after all.

DK ♡

Holiday Carols - Uncontrollable giggles left your lips as you watch Seokmin get himself tangled up in the lights, a confused look plastered on his face as he tried to untangle them. Your favourite Holiday songs were playing in the background but thanks to your laughter, they were being drowned out.

“Hey, I got it baby, don't worry!” Dokyeom exclaimed. Once he got the lights untangled, he let out a cheer before he started to wrap them around the tree. Grabbing a few ornaments yourself, you began handing them over with a proud smile on your face. With a bright smile, he took them and placed them on the tree.

Perking up when the song changed, his smile soon turned into a cheeky grin as he grabbed your hands and pulled you up off the couch, swaying you around the room, hiis sweet voice filling your ears as he sang along.

Seungkwan ♡

Snowball Fight!! - The two of you always did your holiday shopping together, teasing and bickering with one another as you simply told the other to close their eyes or look the other way. It didn’t work, of course, and it certainly wasn’t the easier option. But he liked to take you around, spend time with you and though his love language was acts of service, around this time of year, old fashioned gift giving could easily do the trick.

On the way home, after all that playful bickering, something gets into you when you see your Daddy all too annoyingly happy and before you know it, your hands are moving and a snowball lands right in his face. Though he didn’t start that snowball fight, he finished it, grinning as he helped you out of your snow covered clothes and into something comfortable for your night of Christmas movies.

Worry | Street x Deacon x little!Reader

This was requested by @crystal-is-obsessed but the actual ask would send through so I’m answering it this way

Summary: reader going little while the boys are on shift and it causes some panic between them all

Genre: hurt/comfort

Warnings: talk of panic attacks, anxiety (it all gets fixed dw)

~

Street paces the locker room while checking his phone for the fifteenth time, he’s trying to calm himself down but it’s not really working all that well. Deacon sitting with his legs bouncing isn’t helping matters. Street and Deac both know logically you’re safe, at home, doors locked, security system all up to date, but they both feel themselves spiraling to the worst case scenarios over and over again.

“Guys? There’s like two hours left on shift, you two gonna make it?” Hondo walks in, leaning his back against one of the lockers and interrupting Streets path of pacing.

“Yup- yeah- all good.” Hondo raises a brow with a short breath of air, Deacon and Street both freeze, they both know what a mess they must look.

“What’s going on? You’ve both been acting like rats trapped in a cage since an hour ago.” The men sigh, an hour ago you had called Street in a panic talking about how you could feel yourself slipping but didn’t know what to do, it’s been months since the last time you were small without either of your partners home.

“Y/n is regressed right now and I’m just- worried. Not being there.” Hondo hums understandingly to Street then looks over to Deacon who’s sat quietly.

“I just keep thinking somethings going to happen and nobody will be there to help them or protect them.” He speaks barely above a whisper and Hondo steps forward, placing a hand on Deacons shoulder.

“Nothing will happen, you guys have a better security system on that house then we have in the station. Now go work out some and try to calm down, shifts almost over.”

~

“Y/n? We’re home!” Street calls, dropping both his and Deacons duffle bags onto the floor with a thud then toeing his shoes off.

“Street!” You’re throwing yourself into Streets arms as soon as you get him in view, he hugs back tightly, lifting you to wrap around his waist as he stands to hold you both up.

“Deac- c’mere.” You reach a hand from Streets shoulders to grab for Deacon who walks into the touch with more hesitation than you’ve ever seen him show.

“Deac?” Street asks, watching with worry at the pursed lip expression Deacon gains.

“I was really worried about you baby.” He says softly, leaning to press a kiss into your hair that you push into.

“I missed you.” You reply just as gently and break into a smile when Deacon kisses your head again, more confidently this time.

“Me too baby, me too.”

In mafia au mikasa thinks eren is crazy stubborn, never listens to anyone so she never tells him to not do anything bc shes afraid how he might react, she just hopes she can be by his side. It is true eren is crazy and doesn't listen to anyone but she doesn't realize over time she becomes one of the two person whos word he will take into account (his mom another one). So this one time she feels something is wrong and didn't want him to go for this mission but she didn't stop him bc its eren can she even do that? He destroys anyone in his way but she tells him "dont die..." and eren could sense the worry, so he takes off his key pendant which he always wears (and is special for some reasons i haven't decided y) and secures it around mikasas neck, the key lying just at the dip of her cleavage. He pats her hand and tells her “im keeping this with u that's means i have to return to u”. But that night he doesn't return. But fortunately he doesn't die and gets an injury leading to being unconscious for a day. Mikasa gets the news rushing off to the hospital and she just sits by his side for hours, holding his hand. Armin n the gang arrives meantime and they dk her since they have never seen her before though they know eren had to be married off to someone and they ask her who she is and she introduces herself and so they are in awe. Eren wakes up later and has a little talk with them then, they leave, leaving only him and her. And theres dead silence for a while and eren breaks it off by asking her how she is and she has an inevitable breakdown which she was trying to hold back all that time and she cant stop crying. Eren keeps asking her but he feels his voice cracking too and he just decides to hold her

HE ONLY LISTENS TO HER 😭😭😭OMG HIM GETTING HURT, HER NURSING HIM BACK TO HEALTH! I don't think they'd go to the hospital, bc that doesn't happen in the mob I don't think?? they usually have like personal doctors they pay off is my understanding, SO MIKASA IS LIKE HIS CAREGIVER 😭😭😭😭 AND SHE'S ANGRY AT HIM FOR A WHILE FOR GETTING HIMSELF HURT BUT THEN SHE BREAKS DOWN 😭😭 then they makeup and she's like ur friends are so nice and he's like ur never allowed to meet them again, I'm to possessive

Dollzkastle

This is a blog dedicated to fans of the dollzkastle

To answer some Questions that you may have for myself or the dolls~ 🎀

I am going off of the questions I’ve been asked for years or even the new ones I’ve been getting since I’ve created a Tiktok~ I hope this answers your questions you’re looking for, now let’s begin 🐮

Myself Behind the dolls; my name is Decklynn but people call me Dk or Deck. I am an Agender with He and Him pronouns. I am a little with a caregiver/ daddy and I am a pet owner of 3 Kitties. I do both makeup and Doll art. I am a twenty something year old adult who’s been into crafting and customizing Dolls since I was a child. I am also an artist and got interested in drawing at a young age so I already had the type of skill to Draw on things and recreate facial hair and all types of stuff like this. I went to collage and majored in art while living at home with my parents who were Both Transphobic and Homophobic but also Abuse I’ve endured since a young age, physical, mental ive developed a great deal of mental health problems That even now I am being diagnosed and treated for. With an alcoholic parent and upon my mental health problems and living in a terrible environment that was life long I left home and left school and started my own life with my fiancé One day my fiancé was online and seen Big dolls that looked realistic and those dolls I was so fascinated by. I have never seen anything like them and to make a big 3D version of my ocs and crafting just sound like a dream come true. So I did it! I bought my very first BJD 600$ and I never regretted that. I wanted this one because I just fell Inlove with him. I know you’re thinking 600$!? That’s crazy but it literally is worth every penny when you put your heart and soul into a project it’s like your favorite anime character but you create them and you style them, that’s the best way I think I can put it.drawing on them is not as easy as other may think, you can be a phenomenal artist but still lack the skill to paint on them so it took me years to build the skill I have now. I am still learning 🤍🐮My first dolls unboxing is on YouTube under Octoberv12 ~ if you’re interested in just a little photo video of that time it seems like now, forever ago. My dolls gained huge popularity in 2018 on Instagram where there is a page I’ve dedicated to fanart and cosplays if you just #dollzkastlefanart on Instagram you will find them. I’ve taken a big break from them and left my old account behind to start a fresh and new one in 2020 till a month ago that’s when I decided to join Tiktok.

Do you sell your dolls? No I do not they’re my babies and I put a lot of work into their characters and I am emotionally attached to each of them. I have sold some that I didn’t bond well with.

What do you use to paint on them? I use acrylic paint, soft pastels, water color pencils, graphite, acrylic gloss and sealer. Doll eyelashes, little craft hoops and balls for piercings and craft tiny beads for jewlary. I use yarn sometimes for their hair but other times I purchase their hair online. Sometimes I draw them tattoos and sometimes I use Temp tattoos.

Do you do commissions? I do commissions for people who need work done to their own BJDs like faceups, hair or blush and nail art. I don’t buy dolls to work on to sell but in the future I’d like to do that. It’s an expensive hobby so get your pockets ready. My faceups are 60$ but for something really advanced it will be 80$ plus shipping charges. Nail art is 5$, blush is 10$ wigs are 25$ I’ve had people ask if they could buy the doll send them to my address instead of their home, I work on them and then send them to that person but you have to remember there is money involved and I mean lots of it so if you’re buying a 300$ doll via through me to a website you have to be willing to also pay me for putting this doll together which we can talk about via email the price. I will be able to hook you up with feedback located on Instagram under my thread “Dollzkastle” where you can see some of the items I’ve sold or commissions I’ve done and my customers I’ve had.

What are the dolls made out of ?

Resin. I know there are vinyl bJDs out there but mine are just made out of resin~ 🍭🤍

So if you don’t sell your dolls, where do I get one ?? On BJD websites but be aware of scams or Recasts also which are usually cheaper and too good to be true prices. I’ve had my fair share in mistakes with this in the beginning after my first Doll. Do lots of research on YouTube to learn more. Recasts are heavily looked down upon in the hobby and people tend to stay away from and not talk about them because they are a problem to the hobby and create damage by taking an artists work and selling them for much cheaper. You will not get head plates or certificate or authenticity cards or an original Box. They tend to be much smaller then an originalwitj seam lines and sometimes they’re easy to spot so just save your coins and go legit, Support the artists. I do not bully people but others will. Some official Bjd cheap websites are thejunkyspot, Angel of dream, mystic kids, migidoll, Alicecollections, bobobie, withdoll, littleRebel, littlemonica, supiadoll and crobidolls and so many more just do some research y’all find them. If you have that type of money or want to save then check, Hummingdolly, dollshe, Soom, Doll chateau, dream valley, Iplehouse, Dikadoll, iOS (immortality of soul) distantmemory (the BTS dolls are from here I know a lot of you like BTS I am a Kpopper myself lol) and there’s just so so much more just type Bjd websites and y’all find a ton~ I just kinda remembered these at the top of my head. Lol 🐮💕

So where do you get clothes and accessories from?! Some are from EBay, Etsy, Amazon. Some are form people on IG who sell first come first served or little shops that don’t have a big name or anything that I just run into who happen to be selling what I want or need for a doll. I don’t make my own eyes but others do I get mine either commissioned or on the websites I just stated. Some stuff are handmade like wigs and clothing I do sometimes make those. You just have to know the size of your doll and their eye measurements and head measurements. 💗🐮

💜🍼Prince and his paci? The girl who sold them I bought two and she stopped selling them I’m currently looking myself for some Bigger doll pacis.

💕How big are your dolls? They’re as big as a toddler but much thinner. Some 3 feet and some a bit smaller but they’re large dolls sometimes people don’t realize that 🐮🤍 you can by a variety of diff sizes like MSD (1/4 30cm ranges) SD (1/3 60-75 cm range) SD uncle 80+ and Yosd (smaller 20cm or smaller range) I might be a little off but it’s because I only purchase the bigger ones I don’t have much interest in smaller currently.

Is it okay if I cosplay or draw or use anything from you for a project or anything like that? Just let me know or tag me 🌸💜🍭 I love seeing recreations in your art style.

Can I send the dolls gifts or things?

Someone is making my dolls currently clothes from their clothing line and I am so excited for this!! Over the years some of the dolls have been greatfully gifted things or given things and it just makes my heart melt so of course you can! Just Message me Via Decklynn kastle on IG to let me give you some info🤍💕💗🐮

I will be back to continue filling this out if I get more questions I haven’t already answered 💕🤍🐮 I hope I answered some for you! 🍭🌸 thank you for being lovely & have a great day!
