*You asked to play hide and seek with the zecko after telling him he's bad at it.... It's been a month. You get worried, you call out his name, but he doesn't appear. When you finally think to shout "Olly olly oxen free", caramel honey goo slides from every crevice and reforms him. * "I win!"

Apparently today's #aptoapril theme is work... Usually I do gig jobs, but they said I had to mop until I cleaned up all my...me... B-but cute people keep walking by and making me go all gooey...and then I mop, and then I get gooey...oh no... Art by @aftermoles.bsky.social

#aptoapril Many boargons, like Mura, don't have wings, and the ones that do, have tiny almost useless ones. And their general size means they don't quite fit into cars. So, how do they get around? Their trotters are quite resilient, and once they get momentum going, they're like a freight train!

Apparently today's #aptoapril theme is 'Commute'. I sure hope we stop for snacks... art by @kendraws.art character @mellowcream.bsky.social

I'm not hungry...

*The gooey guy galumphs forward. After a few steps he develops a thin patina of pollen across his body* One second... *He puts his thumb in his mouth and blows* *BWOMPH* He looks like the Michelin man for a moment before receding amid a rain of pollen* *Whickers* Spring is rough.

*The goo plays a game on a handheld, one of the myriad consoles he tends to store. As he gets into it, his concentration seems to slip. A freckle on the curve of his haunch judders in a strange way...the silhouette is strange, but seems, familiar. The goo refirms as he clears the hard section*

I'm sorry! I saw those big bags of brownie mix out back and I couldn't help myself I could replace th- *Pauses* S-seeded potting soil? I-I thought those were nuts... *Pop! A posey sprouts out of his nose* Oh no... *POPOPOPOPOP, he starts to look like a flower covered llama* Get the sheers!

How do I make money? *There's a ringwobble at the left hemisphere of the zecko's haunch He reaches into his hip and pulls out a phone* Goober! I set it up for rides...but people don't pay me for those anymore. Some nice lab calls me over tho, and people with stuff stuck down drains...

*Comes back to see his phone rattling off the table* O-oh...you guys really wanna help me through a door frame apparently... That's good...it's still winter and my goo's pretty firm...they should widen those things...

Why do I wear glasses? Oh, it helps me keep track of where my eyes should be. It's very tempting to just...slide them around if I need to look behind me or something, but usually people start screaming...

WOW You guys really want me to go to the Plaza huh?... OKAY I'll pack my goo, I'll bring a phone battery...and a phone, of course, rotary style is delicious now that booth style is getting thin on the ground, pre during and post travel snacks... ... An umbrella? ... Do you have one big enough?

*Glances over his shoulder* Are you tired of walking?...I have somewhere you could ride if you want... ... Hello? You seem distracted... Art by Anonymous

*Being inside Aibu is interesting, you can breathe, though the 'air' seems thick...it's hard to focus on that when taking the touch into account. He is literally all around you, not an inch of your skin is exposed to open air. The goo expressively undulates, pushes, squeezes, he feels every twitch*

What's that? You need your phone back?...Well..okay...but don't doomscroll.. *The zecko bends down and his mouth yawns wider...and wider...a wrist-thick tongue lolls over equine lips as a dark, gooey amber chamber rolls ever inward* Goh eh ahnd geh eth.... Art by @talidraws.bsky.social

I'm sorry I take up the entire couch...still though, you can sit on my lap! I'll keep my tummy warm, and I promise I'll keep my surface tension! *Gently ushers you atop a gooey thigh wider than your torso. Resting against tummy curve, you see the imprint of a hand press through amber* Ignore that.

OH BOY almost 80% of the way there and I get to go the plaza... I hope they have corndogs...and pizza...and donuts...and mochi...and turkey legs...and stop signs...and traffic cones...and street dividers *Licks lips* Getting hungry just thinking about it... ko-fi.com/caudle

ko-fi.com/caudle *Gasps! Wobbling with excitement* Almost halfway there! I'm so excited to go the plaza, I haven't had a day out in ages! ... I hope it doesn't rain...water and I don't get along if there's a lot of it... Art by Talidraws

Aibu gets on #voresky

*Sees you glued to your phone and the news...* hmm... *The zecko grabs the phone gently, lifts it to his equine lips and wraps an enormous tongue around the device, it vanishes in two gooey loops to be sucked in with a rolling noisy swallow* No more news...I'm still hungry though...

A sleepy, semi-solid zecko is a cuddle hazard. He gently pushes you onto bed, then falls. Touch overwhelms you, loose, cuddly goo wraps all over, his tummy like a tide pulling you into its affectionate undertow as adoring amber engulfs your body. His honeytum squeezes, claiming his cuddlebud.

*The zecko perks as you come back, having stood unattended in a candy store for five whole minutes* I did good yeah? Can I have sours Now I- *You point behind him* *A glance back sees his massive gooey tail has pulled in an entire display, several jars...and an employee* *Eeep*

*GASP* Almost a quarter of the way there...then I get a day out... *A long, thick tongue curls over equine lips* Do you think they'll have food trucks at the plaza?... I love the tires.... ko-fi.com/caudle Art by Bouncybrownbear

OH BOY 10% This'll get funded in no time...then I get to go to the plaza! ... Should we warn them I'm coming? Art by Bouncybrownbear

Oh hey...apparently these guys are almost done with the last funded project so...this has appeared... ko-fi.com/caudle *Wobbles* Do people wanna hear me talk that much?....

Aibu Learns Another New Word: "I'm learning so much from strangers! Soon I'll be a regular thiccsaurus!" ... "What's that? It's Thesaurus? People haven't been shouting that one at me though..." -- Ha! A LOVELY animatic from @talidraws.bsky.social, what will this goo learn next...

It may not be summer, but I know somewhere it's always nice to hang out in a large body of liquid... *Wiggles eyebrows* ... Where are you going?...

*Blinks* What? I know what Gender is! People with flowier clothing in prettier colors are 'She', and people in blander, stiffer clothing are 'He'. They gave me a hoodie at the care home so I'm a boy. *Griiiiinns, proud of himself and wobbling with intelligence*

What? Is it chilly out? Oh, I'll be fine, how cold could it POSSIBLY be... *The big goo trundles outside..* *THWOMP....TWHOMP.............THWOMP............ ....Thwomp* help.

Well I mean...if you're looking...

*Hide and seek was the game of the day, but you're not sure if stealth is the Zecko's highest stat. You'd thought, being a shape shifter it might be... But the caramel colored couch with rich honey spots giggling every few seconds in the living room proves otherwise... *

Next time I offer to share food with Aibu I'll be sure clarify exactly 'what' it is I'm offering -w-;; ~~~ An animatic of the big goo @aibusjournal.bsky.social I did for fun since he's been on the brain~

Oops looks like that's number twenty five today...

Can I alter my opacity? Sure, that's easy! *The zecko's goo goes from the matte finish he usually wears to not to freak people out, to an amber, honey translucency. You see enough video games to stock a store, an entire ham, several dinners, and the missing mailman floating around inside him* See?

*The zecko walks through the subway station, trying to figure out where to go. He looks up at the time tables, trundling forward with heavy steps. The round swell of his belly, sticking out the bottom of his hoodie, envelops another traveler, slowly sucking them in while he's distracted* Hmmm...

*As you are making brownies, you gently whap a reaching gooey hand with a spoon to stop it tasting the batter, the hand ripples like a water balloon* Ow...Fine... *A few seconds later, you whack his tongue as it snakes around behind you* Oweh... *Then a tentacle* *Horsie whining noises*

Wanna come to my party?... Art by Pac

I still like this t-shirt... Art by @aftermoles.bsky.social

Can I have some of your popsicle? ... OH GOODIE *A massive muzzle leans down to the frosty treat, before a wrist-thick tongue flows from between equine lips, thickly wrapping the cold confection in girthy loops of oral flesh. He pulls it, stick and all, into his mouth and swallows* Thanks!

*Stands at the bus stop waiting, bobbing like a fighting game idle stance. After a moment, he looks left, then looks right, then he reaches into his ample hip like fishing something out of a pond pulls out a Game Boy Advance, making his thigh ripple, and starts playing Wario Land 4*

What's wrong? *Glances down at his hip, from which a struggling arm is attempting to pull itself from enough gooey thigh to fill four movie seats* Oh that? They asked...it's cold out...I'm insulated. *The arm is slurped back into the pudgey, gooey surface like a noodle* Don't worry about it...

The zecko walks, hands in his hoodie pockets to avoid thickening up in the chill, thickness apparently being a problem for the goo in general. "Something on my hat?" He blinks. A tongue thick as a Coke can snakes from his lips, wet and steaming in the cold, and flicks a leaf off. "Got it?"

*A zecko stares at you like all his hopes and dreams ride on the corndog you are currently attempting to have* "A-are you gonna eat that you- I mean corndog?" *Pause* "I mean...I could eat you...AND the corndog, then you could have the corndog still...I'd be like a dipping sauce- Whereareyoug-

*Caramel colored ears perk up as a zecko jiggles to attention* I broke...HOW MANY followers? *Hushed whispering* 1-1000? G-gosh...that many people want to keep up with me? You guys are gonna make me go all gooey... Art by @talidraws.bsky.social

*The gooey giant wobbles about the room, oblivious to his room filling weight bobbing about like an industrial jug of jello, tail whumping through the air like a crane* *He bends over the entertainment system, a jiggly choco de leche flanbooty with a caramel tail wiggling idily* You got an SNES?

*You are awoken not by a rooster, but by a muzzle the size of a carhood flumphing onto your entire lower body. A zecko looks at you, almost crosseyed from how tiny you are, you push automatically at large, gooey equine lips and cheek as he smiles apologetically* I got like...really wet...

I'm a verb?...
