Happy Birthday, MyWitch!

[chienne_folle]

May you have the happiest of birthdays, dear mywitch!  You're always so generous about wishing everyone else a happy birthday that you deserve to have all of that happiness returned to you.

I'm sorry that the story I wrote as a gift for your birthday isn't better, but I can only give what I have, and since what I have is mostly Spock stories, Snape/Madam

The cake is very pretty (and I envy decorating talent) but the expression on the snake's face just sends me. 😆 Thanks for finding this, chienne_folle, it made me laugh. (And a very happy b-day @ MW... 🎁🎂🎉)

To me, that snake looks as if it would have a goofy voice and a weird sense of humor. What do YOU see in its face?

I know HP isn't your fandom, but it's got book 1-3 Hermione teeth (anytime MW draws a young Hermione, she's sure to give her those teeth) slapped on the offspring of Vincent Crabbe paired with the child of book 2's basilisk. (Presupposing in turn that the basilisk had previously been paired with Voldemort and said serpentine scion had inherited Voldy's devilish red eyes.) Non-trivial amounts of magic, (un)naturally, were required in the process. Fortunately that abounds in the HP-verse, so it doesn't present a problem to the narrative.

You know, I was so busy trying to picture his (it's a 'he', not sure why) personality (very Crabbe; at this point it has a full backstory in my mind, and the holiday dinners are something of a nightmare until everyone is good and lubricated with Ogden's fire whisky), funnily I never once thought of its voice. 😆

Sounds like you have a great imagination!

HP isn't my primary fandom, but I've read all the books several times, so I remember who Vincent Crabbe is, and I remember about Hermione's teeth. I haven't kept up with all the stuff Rowling has said on Pottermore or in interviews, but a lot of that stuff seems kinda dumb, anyway, at least to me. I really hate her description of how an animagus becomes one -- so ridiculous!

That story was perfect and I LOVED IT! It's so nice of you to write that for me and I hope you know that I was delighted with it and am so appreciative of you for writing it.

Dang - I want that cake IN MY MOUTH right now. xxx

Thanks for saying nice things about the story; I'm thrilled that you enjoyed it. I figured that you'd see the affection in the effort, if nothing else. :-)

Unfortunately, I downloaded the picture of the cake and can't send you an actual edible version. I'm impressed at what some people can do, though!

That cake!

[chienne_folle]

Isn't it amazing what some people can do?

Hee! You're using the Grooot shop from MyWitch's cartoon for your icon; that's so cute!

I got some cake which was not as pretty, but was very tasty! :D
Thanks for the birthday wishes! ❤️

And the cake snake is charmed to sing Tom T. Hall's "Sneaky Snake". But with a lisp so it's singing 'Sneepy Sneep'.

"Boys and girls take warning If you go near the lake
Keep your eyes wide open And look for sneaky snake
Now, maybe you won't see him And maybe you won't hear
But he'll sneak up behind you And drink all your root beer

And then sneaky snake goes dancing Wiggling and a-hissing
Sneaky snake goes dancing A-giggling and a-kissing
I don't like old sneaky snake He laughs too much you see
When he goes wiggling through the grass It tickles his underneath

Well sneaky snake drinks root beer And he just makes me sick
When he is not dancing He looks just like stick
Now he doesn't have any arms or legs You cannot see his ears
And while we are not looking He's stealing all of our beer

And then sneak snake goes dancing Wiggling and a-hissing
Sneaky snake goes dancing A-giggling and a-kissing
I don't like old sneaky snake He laughs too much you see
When he goes wiggling through the grass It tickles his underneath"
