🩵 THE CHAMELEON 🩵
BI-HAN x B!F WIFE READER W/ FRIENDS
Summary: Bi-Han, Kuai Liang, Tomas, Johnny, Kung Lao, Kenshin, Liu Kang, Raiden are playing a game you brought from home for them to try. You believed they would have fun
Tags: Drama, competition, comedy, death-threat, fun & games
A/N: You thought it was a funny and bad idea
╚══ஓ๑♡๑ஓ══╝╚══ஓ๑♡๑ஓ══╝
You had your husband and friends sitting at a round table in the dining hall. You brought over a box that said “CHAMELEON” on it.
You made yourself comfortable on your husband’s lap. Tying your locs up in a bun, so it won’t be in his face. Because standing all day with a big pregnant belly was straining.
“What is this Y/N?” Liu Kang asked curiously.
“This my good friend is the game Chameleon! It’s a fun game I play with my family. I thought it’ll be fun to share with you guys.”
“Ooh yeah, this game is definitely something.” Johnny smirked rubbing his hands together.
You smiled, “That’s the spirit Johnny, so I will do one play-through with you all. As I explain how the game works, before the kids and I prepare dinner tonight.”
“Ain’t it only supposed to be 8 players total?” Johnny looked at you.
“I’m sharing with Bi-Han.” Bi-Han’s grip around your waist tightened.
You opened the box, revealing a blue deck, a green card, and dices. You take everything out, shuffling the cards.
“So this is how it goes, the blue deck is a mixture of cards but you only get one. Doesn’t matter, the green deck will be explained later. Now out of this deck is a Chameloen, as a chameleon your are NOT to say your the chameleon. You are supposed to blend with the other players, it’s literally to see who’s lying amongst the group. Make sense?”
It was silent, before you sighed, “It’s better if we start playing as I explain along the way.”
You gave everyone there card, luckily you had the chameleon card. You whispered something in your husbands ear, he nodded and you proceeded to explain.
The green cards are the topic cards each topic has the letters and numbers that matches what they have, on there blue cards. Which ever # they role, will be the topic of discussion. And the chameleon has to figure out what the secret topic is to not be revealed.
And if the wrong person is picked as a chameleon then the actual chameleon wins the game. Because there lie was just that good. But the players can’t make there answers too obvious, as to not reveal it to the chameleon.
“These look slightly different from the original, the topics?” Johnny pointed out. There very few from his world, but ones the others would still know.
“Yea I know, I had a friend help me. Make like an outworld edition, while keeping topics of earth in there. That others could know, just to be fair.”
You were happy the game was going smoothly, you thought it’ll be chaotic. But you guessed it’s because the play-through had explanations, for them to get a feel.
You were caught as the chameleon, which you intended to help explain the final info. “Now when then chameleon is caught. I have the chance to do what Johnny?”
“If the chameleon can guess the topic we had, then she wins.”
“Correct! But sense I legit don’t know. It’s y’all win, and that’s how the game goes. Does it make sense now?”
Everyone nodded, “Awesome! I will comeback and play with you all again. Once I’m done with everything.
You slowly got up, with your husbands help you have him a sweet kiss thanking him.
“Wow isn’t that like your tenth child.” Johnny laughed at you making a joke, in all actuality this would be your fourth child.
“Johnny really?” Kenshin looked at him.
“Naw Kenshin don’t say nothing, because one thing I know is that Johnny on his tenth bitch. Which was on the news, at least I can keep a nigga.” You walked a way with a smirked, after shutting Johnny up. Kung Lao, Tomas and Kenshin were holding back laughs. The others just smirked as Johnny rolled his eyes.
╚══ஓ๑♡๑ஓ══╝╚══ஓ๑♡๑ஓ══╝
You hoped leaving the boys alone were alright. You quickly went the market in outworld, to get ingredients for dinner.
You didn’t have the energy to travel all the way to your world and back while pregnant. And you wanted to hurry back, in case things got out of hand with the others.
You’ve been wanting to do a bonding game with everyone for awhile… At least you think it’s a bonding game, you didn’t think they could make a game like chameleon toxic… Could they?
You quickly gather the ingredients with the help of your personal Lin Kuei guard, and rushed back to cook in the kitchen. With both your daughters and son.
As you all were preparing and cooking, you heard certain sounds. All the way in the hall area, but didn’t think much of it and continued about in the kitchen.

The Chameleon: Johnny
“Alright, remembering what Y/N said. I will just go first… I will say training.” Liu Kang gave his answer, trying his best not to give it away or be to vague.
“I would say Talent.” Johnny said.
“Practice.” Kung Lao said.
“Is that not the same thing as training?” Kuai Liang questioned.
“That is somewhat the same Kung Lao.” Tomas interjected.
“Ughh fine umm… Determination, then.” Kung Lao gave his new answer.
“Hmm, this is somewhat hard without giving it away…” Raiden was thinking.
“Stalling makes you look suspicious.” Johnny stated leaning back with his hands behind his head.
“So is pressuring others to quickly respond Johnny!? Let him think, there isn’t a timer on this game.” Kenshin retorted.
“Hey I’m just saying, I’m already debating my vote.”
“I got it! Upbringing.” Raiden finally said his.
“Tyrant.” Kenshin said his.
“Pfft yeah good one.” Johnny said under his breath.
“You got something to say!?” Kenshin slightly stood up, before Liu Kang gently pushed him back down.
“Umm, what about Tournament.” Tomas said, “That is a very good one Tomas.” Liu Kang praised him.
“Born.” Kaui Liang gave his.
“Lin Kuei.” Bi-Han said for this.
“That is the most vaguest shit I have ever heard out of all these lame ass answers.”
“If you have a problem with it STARBOY! Keep it to yourself! Your answer is not any better!” Bi-han stood up glaring at Johnny.
“Brother let’s just calm down, it’s just a game.” Kuai Liang tried to calm his brother.
“I say we should start voting, even though a lot of these answers aren’t that great. Kenshin and Bi-Han has the worst ones.”
“What!” Bi-han and Kenshin said in unison.
“You are full of shit Johnny, your answer being Talent, is way out of character compared to all our responses!”
“Hey my response, makes more sense then most! You’re upset, because you’d get caught!” Johnny yelled explaining.
“If I’m being honest… Kung Lao’s answer, makes me skeptical.” Raiden spoke up.
“Ooh really now!?” Kung Lao looked at his friend
“Everyone let’s just calm down. We must let everyone speak one at a time.” Liu Kang intervened
“You’ve been talking non-stop, you made yourself suspicious from the beginning! I say Johnny is the so called Chameleon!”
“Are you fucking kidding me! The mister all things Lin Kuei! Couldn’t come up with anything else in his vocabulary! Seems very suspicious to me, I say he’s the Chameleon!”
Bi-Han was about to attack Johnny, his brothers holding him back. As everyone kept arguing back and forth.
╚══ஓ๑♡๑ஓ══╝╚══ஓ๑♡๑ஓ══╝
You almost finished cooking for dinner, but then you heard loud crashes and yelling.
You quickly went to the dining hall as fast as your big belly allowed. You saw there were things broken, fire and ice everywhere. Liu Kang between Johnny, Kung Lao, and Bi-Han, Raiden, Kuai Liang, and Tomas.
“Seriously guys!” You shouted getting there attention. You literally was dying inside from laughter, holding your mouth from having it come out.
“You are the only people I know in the universe that can make a fun family game THIS toxic.”
Everyone calmed down a bit, so to not get you caught up. “So no one is getting any dinner, tell y’all clean this damn mess up… Since you can’t play together, you will clean together.”
You walked away smirking shaking your head.
It only took them thirty minutes to finish, once they were done. You had your friends join you and your family for dinner.
It was a nice dinner and after everything calmed down. They laughed at how they reacted, you could tell Bi-Han was still slightly irritated. So you quickly gave him a kiss when no one was looking.
“I’m glad you all realized how ridiculous y’all were acting. I probably should’ve stayed, but don’t worry. For our next bonding game…” You quickly went to your room and came back with a deck of cards.
“Wanna do UNO next?” You grinned, they only just looked at you.
Tumblr media
A/N: Can you imagine the chaos when these people play earth games. The shit would be hilarious.
I might make a writing series out of this, of this group playing games you suggest from your world, if y’all would like that.💅🏾
The Same Energy of this gif in this fanfiction lol

Dp x Dc writing idea
So I’ve seen a few that revolve around body swaps so angst idea…
Danny has been held captive in GIW compound for a while and is kinda losing hope a bit. He comes back after a brutal experiment and is just laying in his cell talking to the other ghosts in the cells around him to keep his mind off the blood slowly leaving his body. Starts talking about his life before the Fentons, his Mother and brother and the League. He makes the off handed comment of “you know I really miss my twin, I wish I could see him one last time” and of course Desiree a few cells down hears this wish and thinks, well this is a great way to get out of here if I spin this right. She snaps her fingers and Danny blinks.
Next thing he knows he’s sitting at a dining table with a nice half-eaten meal in front of him. The fork clatters on the table as he drops it. The rest of the table looks at him.
“What?” He tries to process what is happening.
“Damian?”
Holy shit, is that Father? Wait- Did he just say Damian? Danny lunges toward the closest reflective surface he sees, a serving plate, and tosses food across the table as he lifts it to see his reflection. Yep, that’s Damian’s face last time he remembered.
“What is your problem, Demon Brat?” A guy a little older shouts.
“Fuck.” The whole table freezes and stares at him with wide eyes. He doesn’t even care as the panic sets in. “Fuck, shit, fuck, motherfucking, oh my- FUCK!”
The server makes an awful sound as it drops back to the table.
“No. No no no no- fuck! This wasn’t supposed to happen. This isn’t what I wanted.”
“…What’s happened?” Father asks slowly, obviously noticing that he isn’t Damian.
Danny zeroes in on him, eyes wide with panic. His hand shoots out to grab Bruce Wayne’s shirt in urgency. The rest of the table react in defense until Bruce raises a hand to stop them.
“Father, we need to save Damian. Desiree fucked with my wish and switched our bodies. We have to go.”
The man stares back with confusion and contemplation.
“Who is Desiree?”
“She’s a genie. She was captured, same as me. She has to grant any wish she hears, but Damian doesn’t know that. We need to go rescue him and make Desiree change us back.”
“Who are you?”
Danny huffs because they were wasting time with all these questions. Damian is surely hurting in Danny’s body.
“Danny. Formally Danyal Al Ghul. Damian’s twin brother. And he’s probably in a lot of pain right now so if we could go that would be great.”
There is a stunned silent until Danny starts pulling on Father’s arm to stand and get moving.
“Like now.”

Steak and lobster are the perfect combination. Together, they provide a fantastic combination deserving of a special treat.

HOW HAVE YOU BEEN???? YOU BEEN GONE FOR YEARS! (Or what feels like years)
I’m great! Thanks for asking :)) how are you? I hope you’re doing well and taking care of yourself ❤️❤️
So happy to finally be posting part 2 of Sparkles! It’s been sitting in the drafts for awhile now. You know that feeling when you draw something and you feel like the proportions are slightly off but you can’t tell where? Yeah, that’s basically how I felt about this chapter for the longest time 😂 I eventually just had to scrap and rewrite most of it
Unfortunately, I’m still not consistently on tumblr. I’m pretty busy with a lot of other responsibilities that take priority over writing fanfics, no matter how much I enjoy them. Also, I want my writing to be more than halfway decent when I post it, not something I wrote sleep deprived at 3am 💀💀 Although the updates are pretty slow, know that I don’t plan on dropping any of my fics!
Thank you for reading my story :) I hope you enjoy what comes next as much as I enjoyed planning it out 😂 Get ready for some awkward bonding time between reader and Ao’nung 😉
Take care sweetheart! ☺️☺️

The Accursed King and the Flower Princess 
A short story inspired by @justpked Beyond the Spider Lilies because I can't stop crying thinking about the tragedy of the parent child bond between Aris and Mc. So now I have to make others cry by reading about Seleni and how much she loves her Papa.
Aris could feel a set of eyes staring intently at him, normally such a sensation would lead to him reaching for the nearest sharpened blade available and there are at least half a dozen within reach in his private study. Until he recognized the footfalls of tiny feet that should already be in bed, and a pair of big green eyes underneath a mass of black curls peering up at him over the edge of his desk. 
"Seleni what are you doing out of bed?" Aris tries to sound disapproving but can't quite keep the small amused smile off his face when his five year old daughter walks into full view. She's tugging at the hem of her nightgown "Baby was scared to sleep by himself, so I let him into my room. I know you and Ren told me not to let him get used to sleeping in my bed since he'll be bigger when he's grown but…" she's already giving Aris the pleading puppy dog eyes while holding up a story book. 
"You want me to read you another bedtime story?"
Seleni shakes her head and corrects her father, "no I want you to read Baby a bedtime story."
"You want me to tuck you back in, after you snuck out of bed," his daughter nods in agreement. 
"So I can read a bedtime story to your pet Chimera after I told you repeatedly not to let him sleep in the bed with you." 
"But he's so little!" Aris just raises a brow at his daughter's pleading. "And he's scared of sleeping by himself. Papa, you always read to me whenever I'm too scared to sleep by myself. I just want him to feel safe too, because I love him so so soooo much." Aris cannot refute that argument, especially when his treasured daughter makes full use of her big green eyes and the little pout. So he's just going to accept this rare instance of defeat, pick up his daughter and carry her back to her room. 
He can already hear the Chimera cub scratching and yowling in indignation at Seleni's bedroom door, as well as Ren's distressed whirring as the automaton frantically searches and calls out for xyr charge. Suddenly the bedroom door is flung open revealing a relieved Ren holding a little fluffy white baby chimera in xyr arms.
"Oh there you are Sece! Forgive me Sir! Xe will be more diligent in keeping Seleni and Baby's Breath in their respective sleeping quarters during bedtime." 
Aris tucks his daughter in her large canopy bed and turns towards Ren to take the squirming Chimera cub from xyr arms.
"We've decided to let Baby stay in my daughter's room just for tonight."
"Are you sure? Sir you were so adamant before…"
"It will not become a habit. Seleni was concerned because her pet seemed scared." Aris refuses to acknowledge Ren's knowing look. As if the automaton is wordlessly saying "you caved in because she kept making those sad baby doll eyes again didn't you?" 
It was not an unreasonable thing for his daughter to worry about her pet feeling frightened. Like most young children, little Sece was fascinated by various animals, but she is especially fond of the ones that other people might consider too frightening, dangerous, gross or strange. She's read  (or rather had Ren and Aris help her read) enough naturalist textbooks to know despite being such fierce creatures, Chimera cubs are very vulnerable. Their horns, fangs, and claws are too small to fend off larger predators and they're unable to breath fire until they're at least a year old. An albino Chimera could never survive that long in the wild, especially since they're lack of natural camouflage means they're often abandoned by their mothers, in favor of other cubs more likely to survive to adulthood. Aris couldn't leave the helpless little creature crying alone in the overgrowth (it reminded him too much of how he first found Seleni).
So he'll allow Baby's Breath to curl up in his daughter's lap while Ren restarts the usual bedtime routine. As Aris reads the fairy tale aloud (to Baby as his daughter insisted) narrating the story of a beautiful princess born out of flowers who lifted the curse placed on the kingdom through clever wits, bravery, and kindness. 
"Papa, why do so many stories always have the princess kissing someone to break a curse?"
"Something about love overcoming the most powerful magic."
"Does it really work?"
Aris looks down at his daughter unsure how to answer her innocent question, "why do you ask that, my treasure?"
"I overheard some of the other grown-ups whispering about how papa is cursed…but since I'm your daughter that means I'm a princess too! And I love papa more than anything in the whole world! So I thought if I gave papa kisses every day it would be enough to break your curse," she explained with all the earnest belief only young children possess. 
Many people would accuse the Accursed King of being heartless, and for a while Aris even believed it himself. Until he met daughter and now his heart is breaking, because his most treasured little girl believes with her whole being that just loving her father would break his curse, and he wishes so badly that it could be true. He doesn't even realize he's crying until he feels his Seleni's little hands wipe his tears, kissing his forehead and cheek pleading, "papa please don't cry." He's not so cruel to tell her the truth, that while Seleni is the key to breaking his "curse" there is no happy ending for him. Instead he just tells her he loves her too, and he vows he will always love her no matter what. 
Aris does keep that vow for his entire life. Just as princess Seleni always gave her father a kiss whenever they greeted or parted from each other. Even when she grows up and becomes as lovely, intelligent, fearless, and compassionate as any princess one might read about in a fairy tale. Even when another scarred young prince who believes himself cursed, tries to steal away her heart, and as much as Aris tries to scare off the brat, he cannot deny Valar is utterly devoted to his daughter. Still Seleni assures her father she still loves her papa, but she also loves the Nilhiems prince too. It's why she agreed to marry him so Valar can know what it's like to have a good father in his life. She's willing to share her beloved Papa with him, can't he at least pretend to tolerate Valar for her sake? And again the Accursed King concedes to his daughter's earnest and pleading green eyes. 
Those same green eyes are the last thing Aris sees filled with tears as she sobs. Pleading for her papa to forgive her as she presses kisses against Aris' forehead and cheek like she did as a child. With his last bit of strength the Accursed King just wipes the tears from his daughter's face. "You were right, my treasure. A princess's kiss finally did break the curse," and with a gentle smile he finally finds peace as his life leaves him, and Death claims him from his daughter's embrace.

Of the Fae - Some nice bonding! (ignore the ending /j)
Thank you Mystical and Angel for beta-reading this!
The stranger is kind

They walk in silence until the two reach a clearing with a cottage in the middle. It’s small and unassuming. The structure has a slanting roof and a chimney. Exactly what Tommy was expecting.
The man leads him inside. They enter a large room with a hallway leading off the side. In the corner of the far wall is a fireplace. Beside it is the kitchen counter. Its surface is clean with only a wooden fruit bowl and knife block on it. Cabinets and drawers lie under the smooth stone countertop. In the opposite corner of the fireplace is a bucket of clear water.
“Would you like something to eat, Tommy?” The man asks, walking towards the fireplace.
Tommy hums a sound of agreement and looks down the corridor. There are three doors, two of which stand face to face. The third door takes up the width of the far wall and leads outside to the outhouse.
“Sit.” The command snaps him out of his thoughts. Tommy looks back and finds the man standing beside the table, a bowl of soup placed in front of one of the seats.
Tommy walks to the table and sits down in front of the bowl. The soup smells wonderful. Tommy eats a spoonful, inspecting the taste. He scarfs down the rest of the soup like a starving man. It tastes so good!
A breathy chuckle sounds above him. "Slow down, kid," the man says, and Tommy realises he doesn't know the man’s name. “The soup’s not going anywhere.”
“What’s your name?” Tommy asks as he slows down his eating. The pot still has soup in it.
“You wanna know my name?” There is an air of amusement in the man’s tone.
“Yeah.”
He huffs out a laugh and pauses for a moment. “I’m known as Technoblade.”
“Techno,” Tommy says, nodding his head.
“Sure,” Techno says, and Tommy goes back to eating his soup.
He eats two more bowls before he’s full. Properly full, to the point that it’s almost uncomfortable. Tommy can’t remember ever feeling like this. His mother had always been separated from the village, so they grew their own food instead of buying it from other people.
The warmth of the fireplace paired with a full stomach, the time of night, and the stress of the day all worked together to lull Tommy into the haze of almost-sleep. He yawned and swayed in his chair.
“Tired?” Techno asked, and Tommy nodded. “Let’s go to bed then, runt.”
Techno walks to the table and holds out a hand. Tommy takes it and lets Techno lead him across the main room, down the hallway, and through one of the doors. The wooden door opens to a small room. There is a shelf with drawers, and cabinets in one corner, a bed with woolen covers, and a fluffy pillow in the other.
“You can sleep here, runt,” Techno says, leading Tommy toward the bed. Tommy yawns and lies down.
Techno turns to leave. “Wait,” Tommy calls after him. Techno turns around with a curious hum. “Can you tell me a story?”
“Of course, runt.” Techno sits beside the bed and tells Tommy about a witch who stole from a fae. How she then promised the fae her newborn. About how she asked for the help of a much more powerful witch to keep the faery away so she could stay with her child.
“But aren’ witches bad?” Tommy asks, voice slurred by sleep.
“Depends,” Techno whispers. “I don’t believe anything is inherently evil.”
Tommy seems to think about that for a moment. “Di’ he eve’ get to ‘em?”
Techno runs his hands through Tommy’s hair. “That’s a story for another time, runt.” He presses their foreheads together “Sleep.”
Tommy closes his eyes and lets himself fall into unconsciousness.
∘₊✧ : – ⭒ 𓆩✦𓆪 ⭒ – : ✧₊∘
Tommy wakes with an echo of his dreams still lingering in his mind; A sweet warmth that made him feel cared for. A rumble of I’ll protect you forever. Knowing that he was loved. Yet a small sensation in the back of his mind; a silent voice that could only be heard in the dead of the night; a voice that had told him to run.
He opens his eyes and notices this is not his room. Then the memories of the previous day crash into him all at once. He's ten now. Making bread with his mum. Going into the forest. Disobeying her. Getting lost. Being found by Techno.
After that, Tommy’s memories start getting a little fuzzy.
He does remember the delicious soup though.
He gets off the bed and walks down the hall, briefly wondering what was behind Techno's door.
Techno is in the kitchen, slicing bread and warming it up in a pan.
Now that it’s day and Tommy isn’t freaking out, he notices some more details about Techno. He is wearing casual clothes: a poet’s shirt tucked into dark brown trousers that are held up by a belt. 
His skin is light, his eyes are dark brown and his hair cascades over his back and shoulders in loose waves made of straight strands shaped by their routine position. 
An intricate gold earring hangs from one of his ears. It’s a chain that connects multiple different piercings. A green jewel sits in the middle of a small gold ornament that hangs from one of the piercings and holds up a part of the chain.
Tommy wonders if the earring is made of real gold with real jewels.
Techno turns around. “Mornin’, Tommy,” he says, interrupting the younger’s thoughts. “Did you sleep well?”
Tommy makes a sound of agreement. “Would you like some bread?” Techno asks after a beat.
“Yes, please!” Tommy says with enthusiasm as he runs to Techno’s side. Techno chuckles and takes the two slices of bread from the pan, placing them on a plate and handing it to Tommy, who very calmly makes his way to the table without running at all.
He sees a jar of a yellowish, orangeish liquid. “Tech-no,” he calls and points to the jar, “what’s this?”
Techno looks his way. “Oh. That’s honey.” He places a cloth over the bread and leans on the counter. “It’s sweet. I think you’ll like it.”
Tommy picks up the jar and opens it. He swirls the liquid around a bit, before tilting the jar over his bread.
“Most people prefer to scoop it up with a knife.” Tommy looks at Techno, blows a raspberry at him, and tilts the jar further. A big dollop of honey falls on his bread. It’s too much honey. He tilts the jar back, but that just makes honey fall on his hand and the table.
“Shit.” Tommy watches the syrupy liquid on his hand fall slowly onto the table. He hears Techno walk closer. He’s angry. Tommy knows it. "I’m sorry. I’m sorry, I di—”
“It’s fine, runt.” Techno cuts him off and places a hand on his shoulder. But it’s not fine! Tommy swore and spilled his honey. Techno should be angry with him!
Yet, he doesn’t yell or punish Tommy for misbehaving, he simply cleans Tommy’s hand and the table with a damp cloth, tells him to use a knife next time and leaves it at that.
Tommy’s confused, but he doesn’t want to push it.
“Well, you have honey on your bread now.” Techno pulls a chair and sits beside Tommy. “Might as well eat it.”
Tommy picks up the slice and takes a bite. The honey tastes sweet, with the likeness of apple in the background. There is also a sharp edge to it, an unusual feeling that lingers wherever the honey touches. The bread is warm and soft, and its crust is slightly crisp. The excess honey on the bread is thick and syrupy. There are little chunks of crystalized honey and soft bread lost in the otherwise smooth liquid. It sticks to the roof of his mouth, and Tommy has to open his jaw wide to chew the unexpected texture.
Techno huffs out a laugh, watching him with amusement.
Tommy glares at him and sticks his tongue out. It’s covered in honey.
Techno leans back in his chair. “Whadda think o’ honey?”
Tommy nods enthusiastically, and Techno ruffles his hair. “Glad you like it.”
Tommy smiles and takes his time finishing the two bread slices.
Once he’s done, he takes his plate to the kitchenette and places it on the counter. He turns to face Techno. “Thank you for letting me stay with you,” he says, “but can we go find my mother now?”
Techno’s expression changes into a morph of emotions Tommy can’t discern. “Sure. Just give me a moment,” he says, walking down the hall and into his room.
Tommy watches him, wondering again what could be inside Techno’s room. Logically Tommy knows that it’s an average room. Yet the curiosity gnaws at him, and he wants to follow Techno inside.
Tommy can’t do that though. It’s rude, and when he is rude people get mad, and when people get mad… Well, it depends on the person, but if they get mad about him being somewhere he shouldn’t be, they usually kick him out.
This means that since Techno is inside his room at this very moment, he would throw out Tommy immediately, and he won't even be able to look around properly!
Tommy decides not to go. Besides, he wants Techno to like him, and people don't tend to like him if he’s rude and goes into rooms he shouldn’t go into. 
Tommy’s thoughts are interrupted when Techno comes out again. His hair is now braided and his wrist is now adorned with a simple string bracelet that holds a sunflower seed at its center.
“Come on,” he says, opening the front door and looking back at Tommy. “Let's go find your mother.”
Tommy smiles and follows him outside.
Techno doesn’t speak, so Tommy fills the silence with stories. Stories about him, his mother, the other people in the village. Stories he was told, stories he saw, stories only he knows.
All throughout, Techno doesn’t speak. He just inspects the trees and hums along.
Eventually, Techno stops walking. “There, your village is just past the tree line, do you see it?”
“Mhm!” Tommy nods. He can make out some of the buildings.
Techno sighs and turns back. “Alright, runt. See you later.” And he starts walking back to his cabin.
“Thank you!” Tommy yells after him and runs into the village with a bounce in his step.
When he makes it past the treeline, he notices the village is strangely empty, with only a few people walking around. Maybe there’s something going on in the town square?
He finds more people as he walks toward the center of the village. Dread pools in his stomach as they look grimmer and grimmer the closer he gets.
Distinctly he hears shouting. People are chanting over and over. Burn the witch.
Tommy runs, turning the corners and taking shortcuts all for the sake of getting to the square as  fast as possible.
He turns one last corner and the town center comes into full view. There is a sea of people. Almost everyone in the village. Surrounding a pile of wood. In the center of the pile is a wooden pole, a stake, and tied to it, gagged and blindfolded, is Tommy’s mother.
His vision funnels and the crowd’s chant rings in his ears as his head blanks.
“Burn the witch!”
His mother–
“Burn the witch!”
Tied to a stake–
“Burn the witch!”
Surrounded by burning wood–
“Burn the witch!”
He screams.

Enhancing Sleep Harmony: Human Beds with Dog Beds
Tumblr media
In the realm of cozy slumber, our furry companions often play an integral role. As cherished members of the family, dogs bring warmth, comfort, and companionship into our lives. Yet, when it comes to bedtime, striking the perfect balance between human comfort and canine companionship can be a challenge. Enter the concept of human beds with dog beds, a trend that’s gaining traction among pet owners seeking to enhance sleep harmony for both themselves and their beloved pets. In this guide, we’ll explore the benefits, considerations, and top options for incorporating dog beds into your sleep space, ensuring a restful and harmonious night’s sleep for all.
Understanding Human Beds with Dog Beds
Human beds with dog beds, also known as integrated pet sleeping solutions, offer a seamless way to accommodate both human and canine sleep needs within the same space. These specialized beds feature a built-in or attached dog bed component, allowing pets to sleep alongside their owners in comfort and style. Whether it’s a cozy nook carved out within the bed frame or a separate attachment seamlessly integrated into the design, these beds provide a dedicated space for pets to rest while ensuring that human sleep quality remains uncompromised.
Benefits of Human Beds with Dog Beds
1. Enhanced Bonding
Sharing sleeping quarters with your dog fosters a deeper sense of bonding and companionship, strengthening the human-animal bond and promoting feelings of closeness and security.
2. Improved Sleep Quality
Tumblr media
For many pet owners, having their dog nearby can promote feelings of relaxation and security, leading to improved sleep quality and reduced feelings of loneliness or anxiety.
3. Reduced Disturbances
By providing pets with their own designated sleeping space within the bed, human beds with dog beds can help minimize disruptions to human sleep caused by pets moving around or seeking attention during the night.
4. Promotes Relaxation
Dogs are social animals that thrive on companionship and closeness. Allowing them to sleep close to their owners can promote feelings of relaxation and contentment, leading to a more restful night’s sleep for both humans and pets.
5. Space-saving
Integrated pet sleeping solutions can help maximize space in smaller living quarters by eliminating the need for separate dog beds or crates, creating a streamlined and cohesive sleep environment for both humans and pets.
Considerations When Choosing a Human Bed with Dog Bed
1. Size Compatibility
Consider the size of your dog and their sleeping habits when selecting a human bed with a dog bed attachment. Ensure that the dog bed component offers enough space and support for your dog to stretch out comfortably and move around without feeling cramped.
2. Materials and Construction
Opt for beds constructed from high-quality, durable materials that can withstand regular use and provide adequate support for both humans and pets. Look for features such as orthopedic foam padding or memory foam mattresses to ensure optimal comfort and support for your dog’s joints and muscles.
3. Cleaning and Maintenance
Choose beds with removable, machine-washable covers or easily wipeable surfaces for easy cleaning and maintenance. This is especially important for pet owners dealing with shedding, accidents, or allergies, as it helps keep the sleep environment clean and hygienic for both humans and pets.
4. Design Aesthetic
Tumblr media
Consider the overall design aesthetic of your bedroom and choose a human bed with a dog bed attachment that complements your existing decor. Opt for colors, patterns, and materials that blend seamlessly with your bedroom furnishings to create a cohesive and visually appealing sleep space.
5. Budget
Human beds with dog beds come in a range of price points to suit different budgets and preferences. Set a budget and prioritize features that are most important to you and your pet, whether it’s orthopedic support, premium materials, or customizable options.
