Just a spa (or two or three!) for Monkey

Monkey's first person loved him for years, and then his first person had a little boy, and after a generation plus five more years of love, Monkey was feeling a bit worn. Here is his diagnosis photo:

Monkey is a local creature, so once we agreed on a treatment (spa, bald spot treatment, wound repair, new eyes, seam tightening), he was hand delivered by his family.

He started with a spa:

As you can see, the black turned white fairly quickly, but it was almost paint like in texture. I actually wrote to his family, to ask if he had ever had a paint job! The answer was no, it was just oils and dirt from years of an adventurous life. So he had another bath, and another, and a LOT of hand scrubbing, and gentle, one hair at a time, oil removal. Oils aren't uncommon, but this paint like density is. I actually followed the treatment used to remove oil from birds and mammals who get caught in oil spills, and that was eventually the ticket to restore Monkey's fur.

Here's his heart being made and installed with a bit of his original stuffing:

You can see he got modern, hypoallergenic polyfiber stuffing as part of his spa to replace the foam (which disintegrates with time).

Here he is all better! He even got a new nose based on one of his baby photos (his face had been so thickly coated originally, we didn't know it was missing till he was clean!).

You can also see a small fur transplant he needed on the side of his neck for a larger bald spot in the last photo.

In any case, Monkey was ready to go home, but he had to hang out at the hospital a few more days, till his original person was off work. Then both generations came to pick him up. Their reaction:

Absolutely incredible!!!!!!!!!!! I’m still in shock ! Thank you so much !

Like I say my dad was bi bc people will piss their pants if they don’t understand things in plain terms but in reality he was out as gay till mid 20s and then showed up with a girlfriend one day and refused to elaborate and still only liked men other than her and this being the backstory to my parents explains quite literally everything about me honestly also power move

As someone pointed out in the replies im south Asian like I sign on here and watch u flops complain about polyamorous people being icky meanwhile my parents are a woman who dodged arranged marriage and got disowned and a bisexualgay man who both did whatever they wanted at all times. And u expect me to care when you cry about the sanctity of monogamy and commitment

should i eat first or shower first *has phone in couch time for another 3 hours due to choice procrastination, a behavioral phenomenon observed in pigeons and rats as well*

i' m something of a pigeons and rats myself

piter is truly the breakaway star of dune like he’s so clearly just kind of tossed in there as some evil homophobic set dressing. but the shrimplications. he’s comic relief and yet herbert doesn’t seem to realize just how funny he is.

fr fr fr

piter is so obviously meant to be a grima archetype whispering dark suggestions and malevolently influencing and corrupting his king except that’s already taken care of so he’s just there to be the rubber duck

they put him in the cup and no eyes as well… really hope things improve for this dope soul
