OKAY I'm finally able to go through and say some stuff about all of these because AAFHDHGD
I've already commented on the art itself but you are amazing and this is so, so cute <3 Plus the very first fanart of the ratipede that I know of! That's quite a distinction!

(love the rat centipede he is baby)
HNNNNG I have kept myself from commenting on this since I wanted to have energy but HOLY HECK the form, the flow, and the eyes?? What an astronomical hit out of the park with this one! It gives me about 5 distinct horror nostalgia vibes and that alone is amazing!

Blue.
The rare moon lights up the sky as if the sun itself is still awake, clouds seeming to glow blue in its light. Along a treeline grass whispers under many small feet as the creature enters the clearing, bells chiming softly as the creature sways its antennae in lazy back-and-forth motions. It stands on two pairs of its multiple rat feet, its long body arching up, bells ringing all down its scales save for the pale blue and white cape around its neck. The rat-centipede glows like the clouds, lights bubbling up from its belly as if the creature is made from a wrought iron lamp. Its white eyes are partially hidden beneath a small skull-shaped mask but mischievous whiskers and nose still twitch in the moonlight, a little smile on the creature's face as it sets a xylophone with rainbow keys on the grass.
The creature plays.
Materializing from the trees and almost from the moon itself, ghosts with eyes glowing blue float near the rat-centipede, charmed by the music. Teal wisps creep from the bells covering the creature and dance around the ghosts, mesmerizing them further as they join in, twirling around the clearing together. One stretches tall, trying to grasp the notes as they dance skyward. Another loops through the air while two sigh on the rat-centipede's back. Most simply bob this way and that in time to the sound.
The creature plays.
Everything is blue.
{oo y'all I had too much fun with this, I was originally going to try for a more sinister Pied Piper theme but I was song hunting and changed my mind to a soothing tone. It's been so long since I wrote anything till recently, it's lovely to brush up on it again 💙 if I can think of a theme for the little red fella I'll write something for them too ❤️}
{@ Candled oh that art is so cute! a little guy !!}

Even without the dressup there's so much powerful imagery in your writing? I love the idea of a haunting little melody playing through the trees for a quiet little moment of profound beauty. You're very good at this! I never would have been able to tell that you haven't written for a long time!

Blade unicorn!! I always wondered to myself what it would look like standing on four legs and you def nailed it! I love the flow of the tail and the little glance over the shoulder. Makes me feel like it's saying that it's watching me for any funny business lol
