Idk got that quest and mulled it over in the headspace and figured i could ignore it, post in the quest thread, and probably remain a little bitter about mundane things
or
i could create
all in all i prefer creating, that's more my area of expertise, so i'm going to keep this little creative space for TW related drabble and whatnot
feel free to comment, constructive criticism is always welcome,will post a short little thing im pondering about shortly

The small, sunny bundle of fur lay curled in the early-morning dark of her ally's cozy room, snuggled partially under warm covers. Her restless human tapped away at the screen of their handheld device, squinting half-heartedly into the bright light.
Lovely's nose wiggled, soft snuffles gently breaking the monotonous silence and earning a tender brushing of soft appendages through her fur. She pushed her face up into the warm touch and curled a little tighter against her companions side, a little bit further under the sheets.
Crona smiled down at the kith before turning back to their game of memory, tapping away at tiles endlessly to rake in those sweet, sweet shards. They had to afford that microwave somehow, and school books were expensive, not to mention the cost of feeding themselves.
And clothes, don't forget clothes. Crona's fingers stopped, slowly lowering the phone to their lap. It was early, they hadn't slept, and their eyes had begun to burn from staring at a bright screen in the dark. Taking a deep breathe, they set their phone aside and slowly moved to lay down, curling their arms gingerly around Lovely.
With a gentle kiss to her fluffy little noggin, Crona shut their eyes and drifted away into a slumber.

This is a cute vignette, but you switched between gender-neutral and gendered pronouns throughout, which confused me a little. I also think it'd be nice to give just slightly more of a hint about Lovely's species - I wasn't sure if she was a Ferrec, Pluff, or Bumblebunnee from this snippet.

I like this writing, though I'm not very good at concrit sadly. Short, but sweet. <3

But they refer to it as 'throughout' so I assume they meant something more than that mistype possibly?

It might be the lines at the start - you use 'their' from what should be Lovely's point of view, so it should be 'her' I think?

fixed, thank you, i was really tired while writing and i still kind of am oops, so i hadnt noticed those
as for the rest of the critique, the writing is based in the context of being able to click my profile and see what species Lovely is, I was intentionally vague to keep a foggy image because that's how I felt while writing it, but i will keep your words in mind for future pieces
thank you for reading <3

Yep, the first and last paragraphs were what I was thinking of. It looks like you've fixed them both!
If you wanted the reader to check your profile to find out Lovely's species, it definitely worked - that was the first thing I did after reading your vignette.

Maybe I'll write Lovely a lovely description to give readers something to find when they read that first little drabble, that would be a fun project
