Cuddle Party

[ysabetwordsmith]

Everyone needs contact comfort sometimes. Not everyone has ample opportunities for this in facetime. So here is a chance for a cuddle party in cyberspace. Virtual cuddling can help people feel better.

We have a cuddle room that comes with fort cushions, fort frames, sheets for draping, and a weighted blanket. A nest full of colorful egg pillows sits in one corner. There is a basket of grooming brushes, hairbrushes, and styling combs. A bin holds textured pillows. There is a big basket of craft supplies along with art markers, coloring pages, and blank paper. The kitchen has a popcorn machine. Labels are available to mark dietary needs, recipe ingredients, and level of spiciness. Here is the bathroom, open to everyone. There is a lawn tent and an outdoor hot tub. Bathers should post a sign for nude or clothed activity. Come snuggle up!

Found some brains...

[fuzzyred]

Fuzzy J wanders into the cuddle party, wearing her purple tights with unicorns and diamonds on them, and a dark purple t-shirt with lighter purple birds in the shape of a heart, with her fuzzy red bathrobe over top. She floats a tray of chocolate chip cookie cups onto the table, still warm from the oven. Vanilla and chocolate ice cream get floated into the freezer, while chocolate sauce, caramel sauce and a variety of sprinkles join the cookie cups on the table.

Food away, she flops into the nest of pillows and sets down her craft bag. Today it contains her current knitting proect, spare yarn, a crochet hook and instructions, if she feels like learning new things, two colouring books, a sketch book and silk crayons. For now though, she dons a "She/her" sticker, a "New Shifter" sticker and a sticker that says "Cuddles please!" in bright red font. She snuggles into the nest, deciding that softness and cuddles take precedence; crafts can wait till later.

*snuggles in mit cookies and roasty-chicken* HI! Thanks for poking me about this, I nearly didn't see it!

Re: Found some brains...

[fuzzyred]

Hi! You're welcome! When I didn't see a comment, I thought I'd give a friendly reminder, while I had your attention.

that's what friends are for! *hugs*

Hey, COOL, the silky crayon rabbithole led to a 3d doodling pen... I dunno if it's at all practical, but WAY COOL...

(It would look to be a miniature hand-held 3D printer... doing precision work freehand would be INTERESTING without a jig or mold, but for translating one's doodles to 3d? WUNDERBAR...)

Re: Found some brains...

[fuzzyred]

That looks like it would be fun to try. Though I'm not very good at free hand art, so a mold would be appreciated for me.

Re: Found some brains...

[ysabetwordsmith]

I have seen that. For me it's no use; I don't have much skill in 2D sketching either. But I can see how it would be useful in other hands.

Re: Found some brains...

I've wanted that for some time. Yes, it's basically the print-head from a mini 3D printer, and it lets you freehand some fun stuff. Just be careful of the "flop" quotient of your material, since plastic bends without support. But in fact, there are videos of that thing in use!

Holybell the unicorn sees the "New Shifter" sticker, and settles nearby. "Hi, I know some things about shapeshifting. Would you like to talk about it sometime?"

Re: Found some brains...

[fuzzyred]

Eeee! Yes! Talking is good. Advice is good, I always like learning things, making it up as I go is less fun.

Re: Found some brains...

[zeeth_kyrah]

Okay, I looked back in your journal, and found the entry for a new form. Would you rather I drop in there and talk? The unicorn form I wear for the cuddle party is actually only one of my shapes, which are spirit forms for me, and I can also take on a draconic form (a couple of different types, actually). It's just that this is one of the few places a shy deer-type can feel safe in my life, so Holybell comes out.

Re: Found some brains...

[fuzzyred]

Commenting on my post might be a little easier, so that we don't end up with a giant thread here. I'm happy your deer-type can feel safe here, it's a good place :) *offers a hand for sniffing*

Re: Found some brains...

[zeeth_kyrah]

She gently grasps your hand in four-fingered hands of her own, and gives it a light squeeze, breathing in the scent. "It is a good place. I'm sort of a therapy animal, though more like a primal soup from Terremagne in this form." She smiles, giving your hand back.

Re: Found some brains...

[fuzzyred]

J smiles and squeezes the hand in return. "It's nice to meet you, I like making new friends. Animals, and soups, of all kinds are cool. I'm always curious about new people, even if lots of people at once isn't my thing, and I can be shy off the start."
