Ah heck, it's me as a little friend, a cute and comfortably embraced plushie if you will!

Although I am in actuality much larger than this, I thought seeing my hug-appreciating self being held by big hands might be simultaneously cute and amusing, hence this adorable depiction of a smaller me. Make sure to carefully embrace your own little Mello, holding him very gently so that he isn't spooked; unlike with my pet hedgehog, he will neither turn into a ball nor hiss at you when he's surprised, but this potentially marketable plushie does still have anxiety and thus may still get startled easily, so treat him with the utmost delicateness. That said, he clearly seems to be happy with the unexpected situation that he's found himself in, and much like myself, he would very much enjoy being cuddled as well.

Thanks a lot to Crowned Victory for this adorable little drawing! I wanted to commission her for something based off a cute Telegram sticker of hers featuring a small Crowned similarly being embraced by big hands, and then some communications later, the idea got expanded on with someone being in the background. The colors here are visually lovely, the gremlin Mello is very accurately and expressively detailed, and there are lots of positive vibes here overall. To anybody else reading this, please be sure to check out the artist's other artwork sometime, and also consider commissioning her and supporting her on Ko-Fi when you get the chance!
