The first thing Southend had done was go off on his own, not wanting absolutely anything to do with the rest of the tribe. Being alone was always the better option.
Y'know, until he realized someone decided to follow him.
"Heeyyy, what'cha 'doin?"
"None of your business."
"Hey, you're lookin for berries, right?"
Southend shot him a glare, then went back to walking.
"No."
"Awww, and you're a terrible liar!"
"Shut up."
This guy was really getting on his nerves. He never shut up, just kept blabbering on about things nobody cared about.
Though the weird 'guesses' he tossed in about Southend's life were a bit concerning.
Eventually he had enough, letting out a growl and flopping down next to the water. He hoped Doxx would finally get the message and leave, but he either didn't get it or didn't care, laying down right next to him and getting uncomfortably close.
"Ooooo, what'cha 'doin now?"
"Trying not to crack your skull open on that rock over there."
"Aww, that's sweet!"
"I wish you were dead."
"No you don't!"
"Yes I do."
"I know that you don't!"
"You don't know anything."
Doxx snickered, his grin growing even wider, if that was possible. "Suuure, let's go with that."
There was silence again for exactly two full minutes-shocking, I know-and Southend thought he was finally getting some damn peace.
And then a crabbit popped up.
"Aww, hey little guy!" Doxx cooed, reaching out his good paw to the creature and patting it on it's dumb little crabbit head.
It started flailing it's pinchers around-for what reason they didn't know-and Doxx just sat there and cooed at the thing, which may have been cute if he wasn't so unbearably annoying.
"Ow." Southend looked down at the crabbit, realizing it had grabbed Doxx's paw and looked it was trying to tear off the whole limb.
Doxx didn't seem to really react, staring at the thing with the same smile on his face-though somehow it felt more...unsettling, at the moment.
He tore his paw from the creature's grip, watching for a seconds as it clacked it's pinchers together.
Then he put his paw on it's back, pressing down and holding it's stomach to the ground, watching as it flailed around and tried to escape.
"Hey there buddy, that's no way to treat people. Oh, I'm sorry about your mother by the way, maybe she should have stayed away from bearyenas." He leaned his head down towards the crabbit, face just out of reach as it tried to snap at him. "Crabbit is pretty tasty, it would be wise to not attack creatures bigger than you, wouldn't want to end up like your brother, right?"
With each sentence, he pressed down on the crabbit harder. "Then again, you don't have much concious thought, so I doubt you think much at all!"
He heard a crack.
"Maybe stay in the ocean next time, yeah?"
Another crack.
"Fun talking to ya!"
With probably the most sickening noise Southend had ever heard, the crabbit went limp, top layer of it's outer shell completely caved it.
Nearly frozen in shock, he slowly raised his head to face Doxx, who was still staring at the crabbit.
And smiling
Still. Smiling.
"He was nice, wasn't he? Wish he could have stayed a bit longer!"
Southend couldn't even say anything, just stare at the crabbit. He didn't even say anything when Doxx moved closer, basically pressing into his side and closing his eyes with a contented smile.
Southend was feeling a bit sick.

Luckily before anything got too out of hand, Cain jumped out from seemingly nowhere and killed the bearyena with just a few swipes and a bite to the neck.
Agnes let out a breath of relief, rushing up to Cain and pressing a paw gently against the slash on his left shoulder.
"Are you okay?! Does it hurt? How deep is it-"
Cain gently pushed his paw down, briefly glancing at the wound and...smiling? Cain could smile?
"It's fine. I'll just go find a healing plant."
Before Agnes could say anything else, Cain walked off into the grass, leaving Numbify to walk up.
"I heard commotion, what's wrong?"
"Bearyena, but it's gone now..."
Numbify hummed, prodding around the ground with his digging paw, and flinching when it seemed he hit something.
"That's one big root-OH."
Agnes poked his head around Numbify, pushing away some more grass and finding what looked to be a tree stump.
"We could use this..." He hopped up on the stump, stumbling briefly with his stupid frog legs and admiring the feeling of the wind in his fur.
"Still really cold..."

"So, um...how are you feeling?"
"Horrible! And don't talk to me, creep!"
Agnes shrunk back a bit, pushing away some more grass to try and find a nest. He had no idea why he was stuck with Plastic, she left him on the verge of a panic attack with just her damn words.
Hopefully I can find a nest soon and just drop here there.
"More poison berries..." He sighed, staring at the bush for a few moments. He wasn't sure if the uneasy feeling he got came from deadliness of the berries or something else.
"Agnes, Agnes, turn around-" Plastic's panicked whisper reached his ears, and before he could respond, he felt hot breath down the back of his neck.

"Hey, birdy boy!"
"Uh, yes?"
"What's up with your eyes? I've never seen anything like 'em before!"
"Oh, um..." Surely nervously shifted his one good paw, shifting his gaze to somewhere he hoped hatter wasn't standing.
"I'm blind..."
"Oooohhh, you can't see?! So I could do anything right now and you wouldn't see me?! Pfft, I hate to be you in a murder mystery game!"
"...a what?"
Hatter shifted closer, face so close that Surely could feel his breath.
"Y'know, a murder mystery game! Like Danganronpa?"
"What in the world is Danganronpa?"
"Ohhh, right. Wrong kind of playthrough. Nichelings don't have computers, my bad author."
Surely had absolutely no idea what he was talking about anymore, just sitting and nodding.
Not gonna lie, this guy was starting to freak him out.

A lot of the characters here are named after songs or parts of songs, and their backstories/personalities are pretty much based after those songs (aside from Plastic, kinda?), so-
Cain- Cain, Cousin Marnie
Hatter- Mad Hatter, Melanie Martinez
Plastic- Someone Gets Hurt, Mean Girls
Southend- Pork Soda, Glass Animals
Agnes- Agnes, Glass Animals
Away- Drift Away, Steven Universe
I can't remember what I pulled Numbify and Surely from but i promise they exist dtyufgi
and the Doxx is the only one not named after a song, which is fitting
now time for another update-

"Um, are you alright Cain?"
"Mhm."
The male barely lifted his head, staring at the water with narrowed eyes. He seemed troubled.
Agnes stopped his prodding at the sand (he wasn't finding any worms anyway) and cautiously sat down next to Cain, briefly glancing at the spot he was staring at so intently.
"Do you see something?"
"No, I'm just...thinking."
"About what?"
Silence settled between them for a few heartbeats, before Cain shifted his gaze to Agnes, eyes still narrowed.
"Be wary of Doxx, Agnes. He's...nothing about him is right."
Before Agnes could ask anymore questions, Cain stepped into the water, wading through it to presumably go try and catch fish.
...
"Maybe I should stay and watch so he doesn't freeze to death?..."

3 hours ago, Zixvir said:
I know that, I was asking if there is some other type of poison berries.
He's just talking about normal poison berries, in my universe they can do a lot of messing with your head if you eat the seeds or dilute the poison in the juice

"Uh...what are you doing?"
"Like...trying to dig up the bush roots...I think?"
"But doesn't it need those to grow more berries?"
Numbify just shrugged, slumping on the ground drowsily as if he hadn't slept in days.
Away sighed, going back to sniffing at the berries and trying to see how she could pick them with her stupid, useless paws.
"AYYY, ARE THOSE BERRIES?-Wait, nevermind, it's the boring kind."
Away questioningly raised an eyebrow at Hatter, glancing back and forth between him and the bush. "Uh, what does that mean?"
Hatter trotted up to the bush, plucking a berry and leaning with his back against the branches with a giant smirk.
"There's these berries that really mess with your head-or they kill you if you eat them whole, but only absolute braindead people would do that." He held the berry between two claws, casually inspecting it with that same, wolfish grin and his tail lashing back and forth wildly.
"Mom used to dilute the juice with water and give it to whoever stopped by our nest, it was pretty entertaining watching them stumble around and act like zombies! Well, until they dropped dead and we had to toss 'em in the ocean before anyone came by."
At this point Numbify had jolted awake, and he shared a simultaneously confused and unnerved look with Away.
What in the world is up with his family?

Most of them split off, going off to explore in groups or gather food.
"Heyyyy, Cain!"
Cain stopped, turning slowly to see the tips of someone's ears.
"Down here!"
Cain tilted his head down-oh, it was Doxx.
He still had that damn smile.
"Nice to meet'cha! You sure do look different! Where are you from?"
"I was born in a swamp-"
"And you lived by a patch of thorns! Ooh, the same ones your dear old friend got tangled up in, right? Shame, shame."
Cain went still, staring silently at Doxx for a few moments-he was still smiling.
As soon as he had fully registered those words, Cain dug his claws into Doxx's shoulders, shoving him to the ground and hissing in his face.
"HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT?!"
"I know lots of things! You know, like that one secret ya got~"
Cain felt his blood run cold, digging his clawtips into Doxx's throat. "Don't. You. Dare."
Doxx just snorted, still smiling as some sort of chiiirrruppp noise came from his throat.
"Awww, you think you're scary! You're cute!"
They just stared at each other for a few heartbeats, before Cain hauled him up and shoved him away towards the rest of the tribe.
Doxx barely winced, shaking some grass from his fur and shooting a smirk to Cain as he walked off.
"Everything's got consequences, Cainy~"

"WOW, AM I DEAD?! NEAT!"
Agnes nearly jumped out of his skin at the sudden screaming, whipping around to face the brown spotty male. Unfortunately, Agnes has four left paws and immediately stepped on some poor girl's head.
"OW, HEY!"
He shifted his gaze down to the female's sharp glare, about to stutter out an apology until she shoved him away harshly, which again, caused him to fall on some helpless sleeping person.
"GET AWAY FROM ME, PERVERT!"
The nicheling he had fallen on top of barely even seemed fazed, jolting awake and blinking down at Agnes with a weird, mildly unsettling smile.
"Wow! That hurt!" He chirped, still seeming mostly unbothered. That somehow scared Agnes more than the raging female still screaming profanities at him.
"IF YOU DON'T SHUT YOUR TRAP IN THE NEXT FIVE SECONDS I WILL KICK YOU IN THE FACE, LADY!"
The last four had woken up at this point, presumably from all the screaming. The blind one seemed to be having a rougher time than the others, huddling low to the ground and covering his ears with his one good paw.
---------
Things calmed after a bit...or uh, an hour. They were all scared, okay?
"OKAY-can you all just, say your names? I need something to call you by..." Agnes stared at the eight other nichelings, nervously swiping his right paw back and forth over the grass.
"I'm not telling you anything, weirdo!"
"Can you just..." He trailed off, trying to keep the emotions from overflowing. Talking to people was never his strong suit. He could never push past the anxiety.
"Doxx." The pink one spoke up, still holding that same, unnerving smile. Even though he was small, something about him didn't seem right.
Doxx leaned forward slightly, gaze boring into Agnes like fire. "Say, did your mother ever-"
"Southend." One of the other males-the one with brown fur and a black mane-cut him off. He didn't say anymore, just turned to stare across the sea.
And so, the rest introduced themselves.
"Ugh, Plastic." The spotty female.
"Hatter!" The spotted male.
"Numbify..." The male who could seem to barely stay awake.
"Away." The female with double no-paws.
"Don't laugh..."
"We won't."
"...Surely."
"...what?"
"That's my name..."
Doxx then proceeded to start laughing.

"I really wish you'd stop doing this."
"That doesn't mean I'll listen to you."
"Obviously. Why do you think I finally gave up."
"Weak will? Don't worry, you can fix that."
"...you're twisted. So twisted. What happened to you?"
-------------------
Not a new sight, nine nichelings washed up and unconcious on some new island. In fact, you could say it happens quite often, weirdly enough.
One was awake.
Sitting by the biting cold water and watching as a leech tried to bite at his paw. His red fur was a splash of warmth amongst the cold white landscape.
Another stirred, wheezing out a cough and shooting up so fast he must have gotten a headrush. The warm nicheling turned to look at him.
"Nightmare?"
"...who are you?"
"Nobody you need to know about."
The black furred nicheling tilted his head, fur still bristled up from whatever had spooked him awake.
"...Cain, if you must know. You?"
"Agnes..."
It took a whole other six hours for the others to start waking up.

"Where is he?!"
He could hear the panic in her voice, watching with wide eyes as she darted towards the soaked, tired nicheling.
#@%*$ stood leaned against a tree, breathing heavily, head ducked, seeming...guilty.
"#@%*$, WHERE IS HE?! WHERE IS HE?!" She flinched back a bit at the screaming, looking anywhere but the panicked female.
"I'm sorry...he..."
"HE WHAT?!"
"We were cornered, he fell in the river-I...I couldn't save him. He drowned, I'm so sorry."
"No...no no no no..." ^&$%* shook her head frantically, nearly collapsing on the ground as she fell into a crouch and closed her eyes tightly.
"Please no...not him, please...he's all I have left, I can't-"
------------------------
"When did this happen?"
She tried to keep the disdain out of her voice-really, she tried.
It just didn't work.
"Oh, um, not long ago. I've been pregnant for a while, didn't you notice?"
Capst smiled politely, shifting the little furball to lay between her paws. She looked so...happy. Wildfire fought the urge to gag when she looked at the child.
Her brother's child.
"Well, no. I'm not usually looking at you."
"Oh, I'm sorry...I uh, didn't mean-"
"Whatever, shut up. I'm leaving."
"Oh, okay..."
Wildfire stormed away, leaving Capst to watch her leave, a million thoughts running through her head.
"...hey."
Capst snapped out of her thoughts, looking to the left to find Zaptide nervously scraping at the ground with his digging paw.
"I uh, heard...congratulations. It's um, it's Pocky's right? Can I see it?"
"Of course."
Capst leaned back a bit, allowing room for Zaptide to come closer and look at the child.
There was silence for a few moments, and for once Zaptide seemed...less closed off. He was more relaxed, and didn't seem so alert.
"Striking resemblance."
"I know, it's strange."
...
"Hey um, have you seen Pocky? He hasn't come to visit yet, I'm starting to get worried."

Almond
"The ocean is really pretty, isn't it?"
"...Almond, I can't see it."
"Oh, right...it's still really pretty though!"
"Mhm."
...
"Um...are you okay? You've seemed a bit more withdrawn than usual, is it Honey? Did she say something?"
"No, no, don't...don't talk about her like that."
"Right, I'm sorry."
...
"Hey Steel?"
"Hm?"
"What is that thing?"
--------------------
It had started simple enough. Mud came back one day with a limp, explaining that a rogue nicheling had bit her. Nothing too serious, they treated it and moved on.
But...she kept coughing in the night, almost choking on what seemed like nothing. She wheezed and at one point, it sounded like she was hyperventilating.
Come morning, they found her stuck in some thorns, growling and snapping at anyone who dared get close.
Her eyes were clouded.
Honey said to just leave her, but...Almond couldn't do that. This was her sister.
...
Mud went straight for Ebony.
Things went downhill from there.
--------------
"Steel!? Steel!?"
She bolted through the crowd, jumping away from snapping jaws and desperately calling out for her friend. Her only friend.
She refused to look at the slowly rising corpses of her family.
"STEEL!?"
She couldn't find him. Where-where was he?
She could have sworn she caught a glimpse of yellow-grey fur, before something struck her and she found herself pinned to the ground.
Mushroom-no, no, not Mushroom...not anymore-a monster loomed over her, eyes fogged over with death and jaws slavering. It's head ducked down, snapping dangerously close to Almond's throat as she desperately tried to shove it away.
She looked frantically from left to right, searching for something, anything that could save her-
"...Honey?"
Honey was alive. She was alive, walking through the monsters without fear and sending them sprawling with a single blow to the head.
"Honey! Honey, help!"
The female looked her way, batting away another monster and slowly, almost casually, making her way over to Almond.
Relief flooded through her-Honey was here to help.
...
"Honey? Honey, please-get it off!"
Honey merely stared, and Almond could have sworn she saw a small ghost of a smile on her face. She only time she'd ever seen her smile.
"Hm...nope, I'm good. Hey, if you see my brother, can you tell him that I'm looking for him? Thanks."
And with that, Honey left, vanishing into the grass.
The monsters were getting back up now, all seemingly hearing Almond's struggle and heading towards her.
In a last moment of desperation, Almond kicked as hard as she could into the monster's stomach, flipping it over into a patch of thorns.
She cringed at the sound of fur and flesh tearing, quickly standing up and choking back a horrified sound at the sight of Mushroom...she couldn't believe she had just done that-Mushroom was innocent, what was wrong with her?-
She didn't have time. They were coming.
She bolted to the port, taking one last glance back at her old home.
Something caught her eye on the ground.
...
Was that wing membrane?
Shaking her head, she hopped across the rocks, begging and praying that it wasn't a piece of Steel she saw back there.
------------
She'd never seen snow before.
It was cold. So cold. But nice.
She turned around. "Hey Steel, isn't it..."
Nobody was there.
------------------------------

"Strange place you have here."
"I've been told that before." Robin smiled, turning her head to face the several other cats sat on the withered field of grass.
"Hey! Sparrow!" She called, running towards a brown tabby laying their head tiredly on the ground, leaving ----- behind to follow after her.
The tabby-seemingly called Sparrow-lifted their head, giving an exhausted smile as the two reached them.
"H-hey Robin. Who's this?"
"This is -----, they've somehow stumbled upon our abode. Thought I'd bring him here while he figures things out."
----- raised a paw in greeting, sitting down next to Robin and narrowing his eyes at what seemed like several untreated wounds scattered over Sparrow's pelt.
Robin seemed to notice too, sighing and curling her tail around Sparrow. "Who was it this time?"
Sparrow ducked their head, pressing a bit closer to Robin and closing their eyes tight. "A-all of them...or, mostly all of them."
Though he was concerned for Sparrow, something popped up in -----'s mind that was bugging him.
"Hey, Robin, didn't you mention a Piper earlier?"
Everything seemed to freeze after he uttered that sentence. Sparrow started shaking, burying their head in Robin's fur.
It took a while before anyone said anything, Robin's whisper barely audible even in the silence.
"We don't talk about Piper."
haha edgy go brrr
OKAY SO
BASICALLY
A bit ago, like earlier this week, I remembered back when I was in my angsty Creepypasta phase, I read of Y/N fanfiction. (Basically, it's where the protaganonist-I cant spell-is yourself) And I remembered that I was uncomfortable imagining myself in those situations (at least I had some dignity, I guess?) so I would just make up some random oc and toss them in there instead.
One character I had back then was called Piper. He (yes, Piper was a male character, kinda strange on my part) was basically the character I used for every self-insert story I read and in the end he really didn't have much personality considering he was in like 200 seperate universes???
So, I had the thought, 'what if I did something with this?' And so, I went back and relived my edgy childhood by reading a bunch of Creepypasta y/n fanfiction. Was it embarrassing? Yep. Was it weirdly fun? Yep.
I made like, ten other characters while reading all that fanfiction and now it's basically turned into it's own thing.
Stay with me here-
They're all named after birds to fit with the whole Piper thing, even though I don't think most people would name any of their children these?:
Sparrow (OG after Piper)
Robin (Disaster lesbian with terrible taste in women??)
Condor (Tiny and angry and genderfluid)
Talon (her real name is Duck but she'll die before she tells anyone that)
Osprey (Sarcastic closeted trans boy)
Woodpecker (Please be nice to her)
Chickadee (Fluffy)
Flamingo (Despite their name and the fact that they're almost pink, they can and will kick your-)
Eaglet (Thinks he's scary. He's not)
annnddd Corvid (Gonna steal your toes)
Oh? What's that? You wanna know where I'm going with this?
Welp, this is basically what the whole story of this is at the moment:
All of these characters were basically created by 'accident' by the universe, and to give them a purpose, were assigned to several different universes to influence and keep tabs on. In the process, things got all messed up and suddenly they're forced to monitor those so called 'dangerous creatures'. (AKA: The creepypastas)
Several instances of almost dying and abusive relationships later, Piper, the first ever so called 'creation', snaps and goes rogue, going on a murder spree in the universes he was given and killing every last living thing he comes across. In the end, he flees somewhere and nobody bothers to go looking for him.
Long story short: These characters are stuck in some void away from the rest of the universe and are forced to date a bunch of creepypasta characters because....I said so, I guess? In the end this was just for fun and I know that it's dumb 🤷♂️
(and poor Sparrow has it the roughest, considering the story I read with them had a lot of them getting kicked around and electrocuted and stuff like damn calm down dtyugihojo)
I'm actually really tempted to turn some of these characters into their own creepypastas?? Like I already have a whole story for Piper but I haven't written it down yet-and I've got a cool name and a bit of backstory for Talon, so who knows
One last thing:
I was debating on whether or not to write the story at the beginning with the characters as cats or humans, since they are technically human characters but I physically can't imagine them as anything but cats when I'm reading about them because of...reasons. Whatever, they'll more stories later anyway srdtgyuhoij
anyway now i'll go back into hiding and sleep, thanks for reading all this dumb stuff that just bled out of my imagination

oh holy-
geez, I'm usually not one to reply to topics like this, but I just wanna say that I'm so sorry. Like, that sucks. A lot. (sorry if I sound sarcastic, I'm tired)
Diabetes isn't fun, which I know is pretty obvious, but that stuff's pretty serious. You'll be okay for the most part, I think? (I'm not a health expert, but I grew up around some friends with diabetes and they seemed pretty normal, they mostly just wore insulin pumps everywhere)
This probably failed at being comforting, but point is-I uh...send my regards? That sounds dumb but I think you get the point.
Hang in there, Sky

If I could begin to be
Half of what you think of me
I could do about anything
I could even learn how to love
When I see the way you act
Wondering when I'm coming back
I could do about anything
I could even learn how to love like you
-----------------
If I could begin to do
Something that does right by you
I would do about anything
I would even learn how to love...

This is kinda a vent but also not really??? I just miss my sister srdtyugihu
Foxy can't talk as much as she used to be able to so I'm just waiting for her to get a chance, I guess
she's the person I'm closest to online and I love her a lot so i'm just kinda,,,sitting around and staring at Discord
and no, this isn't ship art-not every drawing of two characters being affectionate is ship art werstdfyg
I also don't think she has a nichesona or anything, so I just kinda took her dnd character and shoved it into a cat 🤷♂️
time to go draw even more stuff that I can just toss in here
