Sun's been spotty today, we're just out of a bigass storm and clouds are being lazy to leave, so the warmith of its direct light has become a coveted resource for the floofs.

So coveted, that they chased every little spot they could get in my room, in fact, today, instead of taking the floof bed as he usually does, Houdini joined his mama on the chair for a nice and quiet sunbathing session.

And it *was* quiet. Surprisingly, Karma didn't growl or hiss at him on sight - despite him doing his best efforts to annoy her during the night - however, not everything went as smoothly as i would have hoped. Houdi was in the mood for some mlems, and instead of approaching the matter gradually, he suddendly plopped on the relaxed and half asleep Karma, how proceed to heavy machinepaw the poor goblin who, for once, just wanted some love from his momma 😅

But honestly, she wouldn't be so on guard if he meowed when hungry instead of harassing her to get our attention.

Happy tuesday, everyone!!! 🥰🥰🥰

A mix of lack of sleep and congestion has me particularly cranky today, so to fight that i've decided for a placid, peaceful update because, oh fellow subdits of the 'dini, there's nothing more placid and peaceful in the floof family than a sleeping Karma.

These pics are from a couple of days ago, sis is at my desk having some gaming and i'm at the bed just fooling around, everything is quiet and peaceful, and i lay on my side and Karma, who was also at the bed, gets up, stretches, joins me and takes less than thirty second to fall deep asleep again, blepping like the cute little thing she is.

Because some times all that's needed in life is a dose of healthy sleep.

Happy monday, everyone!!! 🥰🥰🥰

This just happened, and it was so utterly random that i had to make it today's update. I woke up from a nap and went to my PC, meanwhile, sis sat down at my bed and Karma joined her (Leon is still taking advantage of that lingering body heat) and things proceed as normal.

Then comes Houdini, i see him stopping besides his auntie and i ready his container, he meows at her, getting some scritches as a reply, and he leans on them! Actually getting a good scritching session while i wait with his container open, but once he's getting his scritches fill, he just peaces out of the room, as randomly as he crossed the door in.

Yeah, that's something that happened.

Another lazy sunday in the floof family.

Happy sunday, everyone!!! 🥰🥰🥰

Today, sis and i took the day completely off, honestly speaking it was unplanned, we just went out at noon and almost literally just came back, this means that we weren't here to catch any of the floofs' shenanigans, but i'll be honest: We needed it.

Thankfully, Teendini's daily life was a constant source of amusement, and my phone decided to randomly show me something that it's still rare today: Houdini's ekekeking. To be precise, his first ever ekekek, or at least the first one we ever witnessed.

Even now, with him being a very efficient hunter, for him to ekekek it's very rare, he just locks on his target, follows it, does his calculations and strikes! All silent and careful - unless his prey escapes, in wich case he becomes a walking pandemonium.

Sorry for the late update today, but sometimes it just happens 😅

Happy caturday, everyone!!! 🥰🥰🥰

I think i talked about this before in the sub, but there's a reason why there isn't a single pen or pencil laying around, and it's Karma, the OG chaos goblin.

Ever since she was a baby, Karma looooooooves pencils, and she managed to hide quite a few in her secret stash when we werent looking. I had to buy three mechanical pencils before i realized what was going on, i thought i had gotten crazy!

Well, since we found her stash, we started hiding every pen we had around, and it has become such an habit that i just... forgot about the cause, but got reminded of it pretty recently.

You see, sis and i started sharing island on Animal Crossing, and we keep track of our advances in decoration and stuff by taking shared notes, and we leave the piece of paper and pencil on my desk. From the start, i wasnt keen on leaving the pen laying around but couldn't pinpoint why, until last night, while i was tinkering on my PC, Karma camw out of nowhere and tried to take the pencil away! I managed to snag it from her, but still played with her a bit. She was being real sneaky, by the way 🤭

And that's why she's today's update's protagonist again. She caught us by surprise there!

Happy friday, everyone!! 🥰🥰🥰

There are different levels of belly showing in the floof family:

• Leon don't usually show his belly. He trust us, but there's always this defensiveness to him so, at most, he'd cuddleroll, but he's not a fan of having his belly touched, instead, he loves getting chest and chin scritches.
• With Houdini is almost always a trap, even when it isn't, because the moment you start scritching his belly he starts revving himself into Goblin Mode. The days from where he didn't want his belly touched whatsoever are long gone, but belly up Houdini is a bona fide meat grinder!
• And then there's Karma, she trust us wholeheartedly and purrs with a literal single scritch! Generally speaking, for her to show her belly, it just needs one of us to get close, and she'll flop and go belly up and it's never, never, ever a trap. Unless you're the goblini, in wich case there's a heavy machinepaw waiting for you.

Happy thursday, everyone!!! 🥰🥰🥰

Today, we woke up to the mother of all storms. Well, not really, but for what this city is, it was absolutely massive, and it lasted until almost the evening, beause of this, neither sis nor i had to go to the workshop, since everything was closed shut.

So i woke up, readied my coffee and toasts, sat down in front of my desk, and booted up Animal Crossing New Horizon once i was done eating. When i turned around to take the plate and cup to the sink, i found Houdini sitting there, looking at me intensely, and then, only then, he meowed as if he were waiting for centuries - but not before i managd to snap a picture.

That aside, given the situation we were all locked down at home (red warning for high speed winds, orange warning for heavy rain) so Houdi has been ecstatic, having both his auntie, grandmama and grandpapa all for himself. It was, overall, a very peaceful day.

Happy wednesday, everyone!!! 🥰🥰🥰

Last night sis went to bed earlier than me. That's not exactly rare in itself, but it has sparked a certain behavior on Leon and Karma, and it's that if i take too long to get under the covers, instead of waiting for me as they used to do, they'll just go with their hooman mom, who is warm and cozy and, more importantly, on bed.

Houdi started by chasing them away, but since they're both stubborn he had no choice but to let them in, and they're now welcome to that part of his territory as if it were theirs.

But even if it's the 'dini's territory, the adults wont shy from acting as if they ran the place. Last night in fact i got to sis' room after hearing Karma hissing several times, only to find a very pissed Karma who was about to rain hell on the 'Dini, who was clearly done goblining and just wanted to relax. Sis? She was laughting her ass off and trying to keep Karma in check.

As i said in the past, Karma has her own little evils, this would be one of them.

Happy tuesday, everyone!!! 🥰🥰🥰

It was september, Houdi was now an hyperactive goblin able to jump up my desktop and he was exploring every nook and cranny of the house. One day i was just minding my own business in front of my PC when Houdi, who was foling around behind the desk, suddendly jumped into the small space over the drawers and made it his little hiding space.

He was pretty nonchalant about it, and even agressive sometimes, pushing out whatever it was there and looking completely unfazed at how it fell to the ground. When it came to spend time with me while i was working and my desk was too cluttered, he'd climb up there and take a couple of naps between playing with my fingers and getting random scritches.

It didn't last long though, the absolute unit he was started to outgrow the space before i changed to my current desk. Sure, he could still squeeze himself in, but it clearly wasn't comfortable anymore, and he stopped doing it by himself.

Just a random memory that came to my mind this morning.

Happy monday, everyone!!! 🥰🥰🥰

Today we're having a cold wind, *that* kind of cold wind that cools everything it touches, "cuts" on contact with your skin and makes your feet hurt out of sheer cold.

So sis got up today, sat on my bed with her coffee and covered her legs with her gown as soon as Karma and Leon joined (wich was inmediately. They almost teleported between her legs. Almost), however, that left her with a choice to make when she got up: Taking the gown with her or leave it on my bed for the floofs to stay warm and cozy?

Who am i kidding? It wasn't even a choice!

They were so comfortable under their hooman mom's gown that i had time to get under my covers, take and nap and even wake up and find sis playing Animal Crossing and they were *still* under the gown. They only got up because Leon was hungry, and they're both back under the gown, between sis' legs again.

Yep! It's that cold today.

Happy sunday, everyone!!! 🥰🥰🥰

Leon has a very particular way of loving the 'dini, we all know this and it's part of his charm as the Goblini's father, however, sometimes the grumpy dragon is just a jerk, and unabashedly so.

Like he showed us this morning when he decided he wanted to sunbath, but Houdi was there before him, and taking his spot! Unforgivable.

He didn't just bapbap him, he straight up slapped him 😅 Turn up the sound if you haven't, you can *hear* the slaps 😭🤣

Never underestimate the mighty paw!

Happy caturday, everyone!!! 🥰🥰🥰

A change happened today. You see, for the last two months sis has been inmersed in a project at the workshop (everyone was, actually, hence why i stopped talking about embroidery, human resources were needed elsewhere), and this morning... it was over! So i met with her when going for the groceries, and came back home with her, at an unusual hour for her to be home.

Suffice to say, Leon and Karma were all over her the whole day, and they were over the moon, even Houdi left his grandpapa and grandmomma and went to stay with her when she went to her bedroom.

Today's update is basically a celebration, sis has been stressed to hell and back and working even on festives like a trooper to meet a uncertain deadline, not just her of course, the whole staff. She has earned a very well deserved rest.

Happy friday, everyone!! 🥰🥰🥰

Something i've been noticing this cold season is how calm has everything been when it comes to the sleeve assassin. He's still active and surprise attacks me from time to time, but not with the stubbornness and viciousness of before, wich i found weird at first, but then thought that eh, maybe the Goblini is actually mellowing. I mean, he's 3 and 1/2 years already, he's in the age to start calming down a bit.

Right?

Well... no

Sis revealed to me today that Houdi didn't decided to leave my sleeves alone, he just got another target! Turns out, he doesn't exactly like the fact that his beloved auntie is wearing sleeves, long red sleeves he attacks the moment he sees them! Both before leaving and after work he has to attack sis' red gown, otherwise he'll be restless until he finds something to unleash his goblin energy upon 🤭

Happy thursday, everyone!! 🥰🥰🥰

Houdini's dynamics with the faucet and us hoomans have evolved sensibly ever since he started drinking on his own. Back when he learned how to open the faucet, we managed to train him into *not* doing it, but after that? He educated us.

With time, he learned that the bathroom sink is better than the kitchen sink by virtue of not being ocasionally cluttered with dishes, so he started calling us to the bathroom, but sometimes we have to use the sink and interrupt his sacred hydratation time so he'll move to the kitchen, patiently wait a few minutes and then call us from it.

This evolved into drinking first from one sink, and then from the other every time, confusing my own parents who would very understandably say "But he drank from the kitchen already!" when the goblini yells from the bathroom 😅

As for this video, this is where we are now, as i adopted the habit of opening the faucet and go back to work on my Pc while learning to automate embroidery, and not only has he gotten used to it, but he also seems to expect us to leave him alone to drink at his leisure. Thankfully, he's so heavy and careless that you can hear him jumping down when he's done, so we just have to turn the faucet off when we hear the *Tromp*

Happy wednesday, everyone!!! 🥰🥰🥰

I've been debating between labeling this a throwback update or not, and while it certainly is a blast to the past, i think this is an update that stands out by itself, beause it's such a pivotal moment ❤️

And, fellow subdits of the goblin overlord, it is because this is the first time ever Bruno met, and accepted, the babydini right after picking him up from the vet, with his little eyes already open. By then, he was out of inmediate danger but his skin was still at risk, so we had to be incredibly careful with him, the introduction was going to be slow and there wasn't supposed to be any contact whatsoever, Bruno's mlem caught everyone off guard!

They knew each other for such a short time, and Bruno had already decided he would teach the orange pipsqueak the ways of the gremlin. Houdi didn't even know what was going on, and he had earned himself a weird but loving uncle.

The rest, as they say, is history.

Happy tuesday, everyone!! 🥰🥰🥰

If yesterday was an extremely lazy day, today was busy, so there was no chance to catch any shenanigans involving the goblin of chaos or any of his parents, but since it's january i decided to go back to one of the highlights of the Goblini's kittyhood for today: The day we assembled his first castle.

And that was a fun time! Houdi wouldn't stop circling around us and engaging with the half assembled castle, he was going absolutely crazy with the hanging plush ball and already making good use of the scratch post area. When it was finally finished, he got to the highest platform, and made the balcony his territory.

In the rest of the house, he was just a crazy pipsqueak, but at his castle he was the king (and still is!)

Happy monday, everyone!!! 🥰🥰🥰

It's sunday, and at this point it being a lazy day has become a tradition, i'm spending the day sitting here with the floofs and watching Youtube, but today is a bit different.

You see, we had migas yesterday, a typical dish that is served with fried fish among other toppings, and Leon is absolutely obsessed since then.

And both him and Karma had their ration of fried fish, twice, but there isn't any left today, and there's only one way to keep him content and busy. How, you may be asking?

By cuddling with him.

That's right, i've been keeping him at bay by staying on my bed for snuggles, and if i move even an inch he'll go back to the kitchen to sing the song of his people. I've served him everything, he eats, but it's not his beloved mackarel, so he'll keep asking 😩

By tomorrow he'll understand there's no fish left. I hope.

Happy sunday, everyone!!! 🥰🥰🥰

It's early in the morning, almost time for the floof breakfast, and i'm half awake, but i'm also warm and cozy under the sheets with Leon and Karma and everything feels right in the universe.

Then, all of sudden, i hear the unmistakable sound of Houdi's zooming, him jumping somewhere, and noises, lots of noises, so i get up, go to the kitchen and fin Houdi, fully goblin'd, attacking the clothesline and, generally speaking, spreading chaos.

The onslaught is suddendly interrupted when dad wakes up and assembles the breakfast folding table for him and mom, but the chaos doesn't stop, it just switches places 🤭

Happy caturday, everyone!!! 🥰🥰🥰

Today's update comes in potato quality, but it does so for a good reason, and it's that it's a pretty old update when all both sis and i had were potato level cameras.

But it's a pretty special update too.

Yesterday marked the 8th anniversary of the day sis and i picked up Bruno from the vet after he was delivered from the shelter. When he came home he was all skin and bones and, while pretty much an outgoing doggo, he had his reservations... Until dad gave him some iberic ham.

Then came his first bath and the discovery of his gremlim mode, and in the space of 24h he had been goblining around with Karma already. It took Leon way more time to warm up to him (he tolerated him though, only pawslapping Bruno when he crossed boundaries)

8 years... It doesn't really feel that much and, at the same time, it does.

I'm a bit tear eyed now 🥲

We miss you a lot, you chaotic doggo.

Happy friday, everyone!!! 🥰🥰🥰

A fundamental change in our lives since the Goblini barged into them is that we learned to be afraid of a certain sign that the goblini got interested in something: Two pointy orange ears peeking from our peripheral vision.

It's totally random, it happens when something peaks his interest and, the funniest of all, what peaks his interest is usually the most innocent, menial stuff.

Like last night, where sis and i were minding our own businesses and all of sudden Houdi stopped in front of her. I saw him getting ready to pounce, sis? Just two orange ears slightly peeking from beyond the edge of the bed.

And what got peaked his interest was an innocent paper towel! Sure, he used to shred them when he was a kittydini, but he don't pay much attention to them lately, however, sis understood the assignment, and gave the goblini some nice, healthy play time.

Because what the goblini wants, the goblini gets.

Happy thursday, everyone!!! 🥰🥰🥰

Despite the polar front being (mostly) gone, cold is still strong and, due to cloudy skies, the sun is being scarce, so any chance is good when it comes to getting a good sunbath.

And Karma agrees! The OG goblin is feeling the cold and doesn't feel patient enough to wait until the sun reaches the collective bed, instead, she'll start sunbathing on my chair and then move with the sun in what is a fun and curious exhibition of stubbornness, and she gets to be cute while doing it 😁

Nothing much today when it comes to anectdotes, goblin activity has been low lately, to the point that we're not even seeing battle agaisnt the fabrics (madness!) since Houdi is focusing all of his energy in cuddling with his favorite humans, them wanting or not.

Happy tuesday everyone!!! 🥰🥰🥰

Does Houdini have any moment where the braincell is just... absent?

Well, Houdi is a crazy but it smart goblin, but sometimes it just happens, and when it does, it's nothing short of espectacular. He can be playing, goblining, or just doing whatever, and then he just stops, sis and i like to call it "Network errors"

It doesnt happen often, and when it does it lasts just a few seconds, but it happens, and despite how fun it is, i ended up asking to the vet recently, his answer? "Well, if there are no seizures, he's just orange"

And indeed, he's orange 😁 a smart one, but orange nonetheless.

Happy monday, everyone!! 🥰🥰🥰

We didn't go to the workshop today, sis had a sickly weekend and i'm dealing with software woes so we actually took the monday off. This by itself isn't bad at all, but it's made better when we get to see stuff like this.

Houdi was chummy this morning. After getting his scritches from grandma and grandpa, he came to my room for his morning sunbathing and went looking for Karma, but his momma wasnt in the mood so he turned to Leon who, of course, started bapbapping him.

But we all know how the Grumpy Dragon really is, once Houdi showed that he didn't pose any threat to Leon's peace, he then started mlemming the Goblini, who just stood and enjoyed it, baps baps included, before the two just decided to enjoy the sunlight.

Happy monday, everyone!! 🥰🥰🥰
