The Thing With Feathers (By TooTiredJack)

“I’ve heard it in the chillest land -
And on the strangest Sea -
Yet - never - in Extremity,
It asked a crumb - of me.”
-Emily Dickinson, Hope is the Thing With Feathers

Rambling

Merriweather won’t let the baby over-eat and hurt herself. She’s an experienced mother.

Idk something about my “To Be Loved is to Be Changed” piece made my want to do something along the same vein. Maybe I just need to remember that there’s some good in the world, even if it’s presented with silly cartoon horsepigs.

Either Flower or Birdie, because I did actually think about that a little bit. Even if she’s a smart mother she’s still a fluffy and not the most creative.
