The crowd's laughing voices filled the lantern-lit streets of the village. It was a welcoming, cheerful chatter to those used to it, the lightness of a matsuri night, children allowed to stay up beyond bedtime as the villagers left their daily troubles behind, and ventured into the cool night.
The noise. The lights. The crowd. To Inosuke, it was nothing short of hell on earth.
He felt so small and insignificant amongst the passers-by. None of them paid attention to the child who huddled against a wall, hands clinging to the fabric of his own clothing.
He could hardly see a thing above the crowd. No blonde head standing out, no pathway opening through the people to let the familiar face through. Inosuke was utterly, and completely lost.

Welcome to The Place Where the Little Ones Shine!
I’ve always had a soft spot for what’s referred to as “pocket pets”, you know the ones, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, hedgehogs, etc. What I didn’t know is just how much they would influence my life.
My name is Liz, and I’m a staff member at the Rhode Island Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RISPCA). I work a lot in the area of the shelter known as the Small Animals, or the smallies as we like to call it. And let me just say, these little animals are full of so many surprises, with lots of personality, joy, and spunk, each is unique in their own way. That simple fact, is something that is overlooked by perhaps almost the entire world, or at least what it seems like.
In my line of work, I spend each and everyday educating and advocating for the proper care and treatment of these animals. Each day may also bring along the animals which have not received such required care and treatment… and the fact that some of these animals even survive, amazes not only me, but our veterinary staff as well. From a rabbit revived from the brink of death, a guinea pig with bladder stones, an under socialized rabbit with attitude (there actually might be a lot of those), and hamsters with bulging eyes, there’s never a dull moment.
I invite you to join me as I tell my story, as I share what care these animals really need. And how each and everyday, they prove me to that they’re Small but Mighty!

Angie in the Pollution Powers AU is initially a bit of an outcast at the superpowered teens boarding school. Because she doesn't appear to have anything wrong with her. She is just sort of in her default state, making her seem like just a regular girl. Everyone else at the school who lacks control over their powers shows this by their body physically changing and appearing abnormal. But Angie without control over her powers is just sort of. Her.
Sometimes she gets a bit taller or shorter depending on her mood, but no one actively sees her use her powers in a way that looks strange until she's been there for like a month.
