Send your scarrots out skittering to explore the world! What will they find on their skittering adventures...

Skittering exists to just Write. Really sillily. Maximum silliness only. (Or not, you can be serious too it's all good). Send your scarrots to cause chaos, bump into your other OCs, anything you want!

There are a lot of good solutions for writer's block, and I find that sometimes it helps to just write - and that's what this is for. No rules, just be silly and write whatever you want for fun.

Anyway the rules:
- Follow CS writing rules
- Include a scarrot somewhere
- Don't post AI writing. That defeats the entire point
- Have fun!! If you're not having fun you're doing it wrong /lh

Just fill out this form to go skittering:

Are there rules??

- Follow CS writing rules
- Include a scarrot somewhere
- Don't post AI writing. That defeats the entire point
And that's it <3 I am very much encouraging you to do whatever you want. It's okay to be silly with your writing sometimes!! Let yourself have some silly fun!! That's the whole point here 🙏
What do I get for skittering?

The more you skitter, the more scarrot lore is unlocked! This is a community effort and can unlock new genes / patterns, edits, mechanics, lore, etc. Basically you show interest in these guys and then I put in the time to make more scarrot stuff for you!
You also receive a complimentary sense of achievement for having written something and hopefully help overcome whatever writer's block you may have <3
How often can I skitter?

You can skitter again as soon as someone else has posted on the thread! If no one else posts, you can post again about 2 days after your earlier post.
Can I draw?

Yeah you can submit art instead if you want!
What if I don't have a scarrot yet?

You can use Crunch! His pronouns are he/it and it likes to bite fingers. You can make up whatever lore/story you want for him.

Scarrot(s) Included: Givanium

Skitters away:

It was a crispy Friday morning when Givanium found himself venturing along the entrance of a long forgotten building. The walls of the structure were worn with age, every scratch and every crumble telling a story of struggle. Of heartache. Of misfortune. But amongst the rubble, Givanium had a dream. A dream of learning the truth of his existence. How did he come to be? Why was he burdened with a carrot-like carapace? How come his legs are so small and skinny, barely managing to keep his oblong body afloat? And why, oh why, was he so green? There was only so long he could use the excuse of his gaseous organs as a rationale for his sickly color. Only so long he could laugh off the questions about his glowing aura. It was too long. And he would finally have answers.

With a deep breath- he decided to enter. It was hardly any trouble fitting his slender frame through the ominous hole of the mysterious building. Skittering footsteps echoed in the room around him, announcing his presence to whatever horrors lay in wait. Chills shuttered down his non-existent spine, ruffling his yellow leaves in its wake. There was something unsettling about the desolate room. It brought fear to his very heart, but he knew he was close. Answers awaited him in this abandoned building- a building feigning ignorance as just a failed kindergarten. One meant to bring forth feelings of joy and excitement; now a source of anxiety for the scarrot. A reminder of a past he didn't want to recall.

"Gio? Is that you?" a voice called out from a neighboring room, it's familiarity echoing within Givanium's psyche.

The scarrot swallowed before responding, "Uthman?"

Silence.....

Skitters away:As soon as Skitters is let loose, he runs for the forest exploring deeper and deeper. The forest is full of scents and textures he hasn’t seen or felt before- and it’s so exciting for him! Soon Skitters finds an old hut, it’s clearly still lived in but at the moment of his discovery it’s currently empty. Skitters enters the hut through a small hole in the wall and inside is full of dried or drying herbs, books and lit candles. The aroma from both dried herbs and candles overwhelm him but his eye catches a small shiny circular object. Curious, Skitters manages to tolerate the smell and runs towards the object. Upon closer inspection he finds that the object is a small crystal that changes its colour to look like himself! And with a random and risky lick Skitters finds that the crystal is a piece of candy that perfectly matches his preference, how lucky! Skitters carries the candy in his mouth and excitedly runs home. And once he reaches his fluffy and warm bed, Skitters eats and finishes the candy before falling asleep and having the most vivid and adventurous dream ever.

Scarrot(s) Included: salmon

Skitters away: omg! salmon has arrived!
the pink fish carrot scurried along the random blank void that was being filled up with words right now as we speak :) it was very boring here, there were no fish for him to consume. he needed to eat fish to maintain his beautiful pink colour, if not he would probably shrivel up and die of ugliness.

salmon sees a building in the distance. there is a matchstick at his little legs.
he has an idea! its time to eat it! he eats the matchstick and burns up oopsies! but because scarrots are legally immortal now and are not allowed to die he has become burnt and charred. he is definitely not pink anymore. salmon screams like an elmo in despair. it is time to cry!!!

OH NO!! MY BEAUTIFUL LEAVES!1!1
and somehow they can speak without using quotation marks, dont ask how. it is a forbidden question to ask salmon (or any scarrot actually). im so unsigma now (i am truly sorry. i couldn't resist the urges to add it.) he squeaks pathetically.
he continues to sob
omg wait is that a purple carrot??

beggars cannot be choosers so salmon has no choice but to eat it. yes, he will turn purple, and yes, he is possibly being a cannibal, but he is starving.
three pairs of legs jut out of the car rot. hello :)

IT TALKS!!!!
as it skitters menacingly towards salmon, he cannot help but scream, so loud it scared the birds away from the nearest tree...
RUN RUN FOR YOUR LIVES IT TALKS

i wonder what's in store for our brave (cowardly/j) hero next!!

hi i love this so much silly writing is very fun <33
