The Helpers (September 2025 theme)

Hey folks,

It’s been quite a week, hasn’t it?

Sometimes it feels like the whole world is hurting,
and with that in mind, I propose a theme:

“When I was a boy and saw scary things in the news, my mother would say, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.’”
~Fred Rogers

This is intended to be more of a hugbox theme than we typically feature. It feels like the correct time for such.


Before you ask, Yes, all boxes are welcome to participate, so long as you can make it fit the theme.
All creative mediums are welcome to participate.

This time, I want you to show me fluffies being Helpers.
They can be helping humans, other fluffies, the friend-shaped bug they’ve found, or anything else.
(naturally they may not be the best of helpers, but as the old adage says; Even a cat’s paw can be useful)

This theme will run from September 13th to September 27th

Though I wish I could give out badges for this, I don’t think there will be any. So late entries will still be welcomed.

To add your new creations to this theme, simply add the URL of this post anywhere in your own.


I encourage you to take these two weeks to tell your friends and family that they’re loved,
and then show us how fluffies could do the same.

How do Fluffies Help?

I would also ask that we try to minimize the inclusion of recent political hot-button issues, if at all possible.

But if you feel that you must, remember that politically-motivated posts are considered to be Controversial and should be categorized as such.

Are these like the helper fluffies you’re imagining? Or are these more hero fluffies?

Not heroes, just helpers

I didn’t read the full thing and thus was unaware this was supposed to be somewhat uplifting stories…

Anyways here’s A Teacher’s Burden (DeusLibra)

Uplifting isn’t necessary for inclusion
