by the way, I think the song on your cylinder (from the pinned post) might be by The Stratagems

I've known those fellas in the past! Not sure if they made the tune on the cylinder -- not sure why they wouldn't be singing together.

since ur already hornyposting on main wat would ur hanky code b?

Taken!

i don’t th ink you have enough pocke ts baby

I notice you liked some of my stuff

So I came here to say "hi"

Hi

Hello! Nice to make your acquaintance!

hellohellohello!!

Very new here and very confused and intrigued?? Something feels off (?) I guess or maybe I’m missing something…

Oh Well, just here for the ride and answers I suppose if you got any :)

Nice to make your acquaintance, pal! S’pose part of that confusion may arise if you haven’t visited us en abime yet! Or, if you have, I hear some of the other pals I've got 'round here have also been plenty helpful to newcomers. Welcome!

what are your favourite birds? i'm a pied wagtail enjoyer personally, but i also like pigeons and robins

I fancy a nice falcon or a big barn owl! Pigeons are also lovely! And mourning doves! Anythin' that coos!

i like all kinds of birds! ones i liked to see in real life - i think snow buntings are real cute. and i like hawks a lot

h e l l o? why is your blog so o l d

Woah! Howdy, Tati! Here to check out our new decor?

n o

the vibes in here are a w f u l btw 🤎

haha, p roba b ly. i d id m y be s t!

i  n e e d to talk to you i've been w a i t i n g for a while 🤍 you guys really take your t i m e in that garden of yours huh 🤭

Oh, ab-so-lute-ly!

um . . . may b e.

ew. forget i said anything anyway my angels are telling me your m o n s t e r is looking for us ‼️

Yikes!

sh ould we hide? we could go back to my pl ac e.

I mean, I figure it ain’t benefitting any of us if we split up. S’pose the thing would simply come for Tati here again. 

y e s  i don’t want to be HERE a l o n e ‼️ and if i was in your w e i r d old screensaver i’d be as uncomfortable as grandpa radio is over here

h e y!

i’m not asking for h e l p like i think you shouldn’t be a l o n e either ❌

that’d just be s t u p i d

and didn't they already find you there o n c e.

your place isn't s a f e. 🔓

i don' t t h ink i can st ay here muc h lon ge r, though.

And this ain’t the most secure place to hide anyway. As much as I like the folks here, it ain’t exactly private. We’d hafta find somewhere you all solidly have feet on the ground, somewhere just for the three of us.

why n ot the pl a ce we u sed to ha ng out? 

your boyfriend d e s t r o y e d it. lmao

Technically, Mal did! Or maybe those folks we’re lookin’ to avoid! Who can say?

oh. wha t if we ma ke a new on e?

what about m a l 💓

shouldn’t we all be t o g e t h e r

Someone let us know she could be stoppin’ by a while back, but I ain’t heard a peep from her yet. S’pose we could wait for her, though time is of the essence!

and…i don’t kno w. hiding out’s only temp orary. and the kind of p la ce we need sounds pretty s m all. d a r k. lone l y. we can’t stay ther e forev er

maybe we'll have time to come up with a permanent s o l u t i o n

Henry and I have been working on some thin’ like that! Couple of the folks out there seem to think I’m responsible for the sticky situation those kids are in. 

w e al l ar e.

Well, figure a fella ought to be able to admit when it ain’t turning out like he hoped. And start hopin’ for somethin’ new! 

like pick in g them ap ar t, if we ca n .

aren’t they like the closest thing to d e a t h HERE 💒

how are you even gonna do that

Erm. Well. We ain’t rightly sure!

but with a little more t ime ma yb e we ca n figure it ou t

And I’d sure appreciate your brains on the matter, kid!

t h a n k s.

i guess if we had a s a f e p l a c e we could think about it more. or come up with more of a p l a n at least

and may be o n e of our buddie s wh o it isn ' t so dang erous to will g et to it bef ore w e ca n

… spea king of which, how a re we gonna make a new place? …

...

What’re ya lookin at me for? 

i mean. you’re the only one who can m o v e around comfortably. have you s e e n anywhere that could work

We ain’t tryin to make anythin’ so big as a whole “Site!” All we need’s a li’l pocket. Somewhere that thing can’t access! 

i don’t think we can do it. even all t o g e t h e r.

but mayb e they could.

i don’t t r u s t them 💔

Ya got any better ideas, kid?

💬 💬 💬

fine. let's ask mal once she gets here.

if sh e get s here. should i g o ch eck on he r?

Sweetheart, you ain't in much condition to go hoppin' around! If I knew where she'd got off to, I'd do it, but nobody's found occasion to say.

yeah, i dunno eith e r.

well. let's s e e.

do you like the way you look? have you always?

Yup! S'pose I wish I looked more...cohesive, from time to time. Kids like @fortunateisle come in here lookin' pretty much the same they did in life (though don't tell her I told ya, but the back of her head was missin'!), which makes me jealous, but I make do with what I can make!

Have you ever seen calico critters and what are your thoughts on them

Takin' a gander!

These are like Henry! Sweet as honey!

These are like @fortunateisle!

These are like Mallory Jane!

S'pose I'd be something like this, though it ain't perfect!
