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!

Cuddles!

*Fuzzy J bounds in, wearing a silky purple button-up shirt with short sleeves and rosettes down both sides of the buttons and a pair of light gray pants. She deposits a serving bowl of Southwestern Goulash on the food table, adding appropriate labels, then grabs herself a sticker before settling at the craft table. The sticker reads "she/her," "energetic today," and "up for cuddles OR games."

She settles her yarn bag beside her, not drawn to working on her pink fuzzy blanket, and all caught up on her temperature blanket for now. Instead, she grabs some blank papers and coloured pencils and starts doodling things in the ace pride flag colours.*

nice reference, gonna bookmark.

I could use a flag for "straight ally", but I have no standing to complain or request, exactly because I'm not a member of any part of the LGBTQI+ community which all these flags belong to. But I can & do use this icon, which I made myself. :-)

Maybe not cuddles, but...

There's a Chanter (short curvy thirty-something white woman, long brown hair, white cane propped in a corner) making coffee in the kitchen. She's brought her own supplies, which today include small glass jars of cardamom, ginger and cinnamon, each with their own dedicated spoon directly alongside. Apparently, someone goes in for spices with her caffeine. There's a notecard sign balanced on the counter that says 'Please rinse spoons after seasoning your mugful! Please recycle spice jars if you use the last of something.'

Chanter's already wearing a she/her pronoun pin, but she's added a sticker that includes the ace flag and the request 'Please ask before touching; do not grab.' Not that people at one of these gatherings are likely to grab, but...
