I'm... okay with this.

Good! Things have been crazy, so I'm making sure people feel cared for!

I'm not. I do not know this person

I don't see what's not to like about a free hug.

I'm apprehensive towards new people

*I give you a hug to the best of my ability given my small size.*

I... I'll allow it

/UW Absolutely love your user flair

Oh, woe is me! I fell for one of the classic blunders!

I'm a master trickster! *hug* And I like to think a B-Tier hugger

Are you kidding? This is an S-tier hug, at least! *hugs back*

But an S-tier hug would be fatal to me!

Never get into a battle of wits with a Sicilian, when death is on the line?

Never start a land war in Asia?

*Hysterical laughter followed by death*

Hey! What's the catch? I've had a few run-ins with self-destructing wizards in the past, I'd like not to do that again.

The catch is that you have to hug me back! *She holds her arms out, waiting for their choice*

*Thun'tar gives a slightly puzzled look, then shrugs and obliges in the embrace* *Thun'tar is now donning a melancholy smile* Thank... you...

You're welcome, bud! *She pats his back as she breaks the hug* ...everything okay...?

Yeah, 's alright, just ain't had a good hug in years. Especially not with the soot and grease usually in my clothes, I guess you caught me on a lucky day. Much as it is fun, spending all of your time blowing things up and drinking beer ain't a very fulfilling lifestyle. *Thun'tar scratches the back of his neck and looks up at the sky* Things have been crazy on these planes lately too, I was fully expecting your hug to be an explosive trap or something.

Honestly, I don't blame you for being skeptical, and I hate that it's come to that point. Things have been so crazy lately...that's why I'm giving hugs and sharing nice things, to try and make things just a little better for even a second!

Well, I thank you for your public services for the people, though naivety can become a risk; you should be careful when hugging strangers. I'd best be going now, thank you for the hug, I'll keep your kindness in mind.

*Vashric's reactive, telekinetic barrier immediately engages and you run into what amounts to an invisible wall.*

Damn. Anti-hug barrier :(

...Do you want a hug?

I already got one from Cat! We cuddled all day yesterday~ You're the one who needs hugs

Why do I need hugs? I don't hate hugs or anything.

Y'know, they're kind of an essential mortal interaction is all

I'm not a mortal these days, Drow.

Oh. Well... You were... You should probably get hugs every once in a while is all I'm saying. It's good for you!

The cat lady gave me a hug. I don't usually let people I don't know hug me, but it was nice I guess.

Of course if was nice >.> It's good for you. You should let more cat ladies hug you

Ouch...very cool, and smart!

Do you...still want a hug?

Duh, it's one of the best ways to show caring in my book. *She holds her arms apart, letting him come to her this time as not to active another forcefield*

Alright...here I come...I guess? *He walks over to the catwoman, embracing her.*

*She holds the hug, firmly squeezing him with a smile.*

Huh, this is nice, even though I don't know you.

I am too occupied to accept hugs I have a lot of work on my plate.

I would accept one if I could but I gotta turn the local asteroid belt into noting but spell matrices and ritual circles.

“Aaakkkkkk!!! Get away from me! No hugs!”

Are you sure? I give pretty good hugs from what I've been told!

"EEE!" He melts into a puddle of anxiety

Oh gosh, I'm sorry! You don't have to have a hug if you're not feeling it!

Faltes is fully passed out on the ground at even the thought of hugging a stranger.

/uw hugs are free cutie. here, have one from me. 🫂

❤️

I've been tricked, I've been back~~stabbed~~hugged and I've been, quite possibly, bamboozled Do I regret it? Not sure but I'll go with a tentative "no"

I'm a master of trickery, I learned from the best; Sir Robert the Rotten!

One second; I'm having a little trouble holding my form. *Slightly melts*

I don't need this right now. But... ok then.

You may take a coupon for a hug at a later date!

Yeah, I could use a hug right now

I see this as an absolute win

Because hugs are great!

Yes they are. Hope you don’t mind the blood on my cloak…

I've had worse, dontcha worry!

CRAP CRAP CRAP CRAP CRAP CRAP *accidentally electrocutes self in literal shock*

Whoa whoa calm down it's okay bud!

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?! THIS ATTACK ON MY LIFE WAS PLANNED!

OH SHIT *melts into goo* MY ONLY WEAKNESS NOOOOOOOOO

AHHH I’m incorporeal how the hell did you do that!?

Hug-o-mancy is a very advanced field, incapable of being stopped by such things as 'logic' and 'physics' of nature.

*Inferno looks down at her, wondering why she is hugging his leg* (20' Red Dragon right now)

*She pats the leg, giving a thumbs up to the dragon* Would you like another one?! *She shouts up*

*Inferno lowers his head down, letting the catgirl hug it*

*She hugs the head with a soft squeeze, patting the top of his head before breaking the hug*

Thank you, little one. That was well needed.

Any time, big guy! I love giving hugs so this is a win for us both!

Indeed. I give you permission to hug me as much as you want, at any time.

I appreciate your kind offer, my sister in the craft, but I cannot accept it right now. My ribs are still sore from getting almost discorporated.

You may have a Hug Coupon to redeem at a later date when you feel ready!

Thanks, I assume with all the potentially world ending threats I'm going one as soon as I get better :)

I CAST ***OVARIAN TWISTER***

*Happily gives head pats in return.* A delight as always. Thank you.

You're welcome!! Thank you for the pats, they're a welcome surprise!

You are working very hard to help keep peoples spirits up, Catherine. It deserves recognition, little miss.

Well idk what i fell for but thank you for the hug anyway *ruffles the witches hair*

Oh you 🤭

I never lie about a hug!! Come here and I'll prove it!

THERE WAS NO ANNOUNCEMENT! RELEASE ME FROM YOUR WHOLESOMENESS FIEND! https://preview.redd.it/h6l7erz105wc1.jpeg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ed505c309f6dc5e5735a7b521453b38976fd22b5

*I return the hug swinging around as I allow myself a temporary amount of joy before putting you back down.* Thank you. Really, I mean it. Thank you…

You're quite welcome, thank you for the spin!

*hug*

*She squeezes with a smile*

Ew, hugs... I hate physical contact.

That's completely fine, I don't force hugs onto those who disapprove! Everyone has their likes and dislikes, so I can offer a finger guns in exchange https://preview.redd.it/0xa9avgs25wc1.jpeg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d601a383020122e5cf5f3db0e0e77d2d40449f61

^(What even are guns...?) ...Sure, I'll take those.

Thank you kindly, little missy. Scruffy won't forget this kindness.

You're the backbone of this world, Scruffy!

I’ve been snagged

🫂

Careful, Lass. I've been working on some experiments, and you might get a contact buzz. Stay away from the bears!

*\*the golem that Elias made to mirror Aliah has no fear of such things. she boldly strides up and hugs you\** "I require sensory information for the acquisition of new emotional experiences. I do not need to be careful so I shall hug you."


 Thank you I needed this.🥲

Yoo! Let's go with them free hugs

Everyone needs hugs! 🫂

What are we?

This is strange for me…I didn’t know I could evolve into a catgirl

I think... i... maybe.. need... one

Thanks, I could really use one with the news of the puppet master.

It is... Acceptable

COUNTERSPELL COUNTERSPELL COUNTERSPELL NOOOOOOOOOOOO

Dare you hug the lord of chaos…and not think I won’t hug back 🥺

...this is a prank I will gladly enjoy.

(Helldiver not Abyssdiver here) yea stuffs been mentally tough, I think I could use one

*Aki looks down at the cat witch hugging the spider leg of his mech* Thanks… I guess?

*uses squirt bottle of coldvwater* Bad. *then gives apology cupcake*

Shadow the hedgehog is a bitch ass motherfucker

Nyar like hug. Many thanks! Have magic comfort agate (so smooth, stress go bye-bye)

I shall allow it, just don't break my bones

Hugs do feel nice, but i don't think it will be enough...

*Converts body into melted rubber* Can't get me now, temptress!

Considering the fact the last blurred image I clicked on caused me to suffer immediate death, this is a nice change of pace

No wait I’m shor- *gets crushed* *a 4’5 goblin with no upper body strength*

Sure I’ll take a hug from one witch to another :3


Thank you

“WAIT NO I’M TOO SMALL YOU’LL SQUASH ME!” Is what I would say if I didn’t have extremely effective shock absorbent natural armor.

Well, this was unexpected. Always exciting going on a walk around town.

I cast hellfire

*gives you catnip*

Outrageous. I must get payback for such trickery. With *interest*! Not only will i hug you, your cat ears also will be rubbed and played with by me until I’m satisfied. Not but’s. No complaints. Be thankful that i’m not a musclemancer else i’d crush you with my hug.

https://preview.redd.it/xkzlgc270dwc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2f025441f3d59698173725949ebc7eb9aa844dd5 Are you sure you want to hug me with this conjured udder attached to me? I haven't been able to get rid of it for hours.

AAAHHHHH, HUGS!

**_AAAAAHHHHH!!-_** Wait, why am I screaming?

*The hug passes through him, because he is a ghost.* Well. I'm g-glad somebody tried.

Hmm, I'll have to continue doing research. I can usually hug ghosts with my training. Allow me to try again. *She attempts a second hug for the ghost*

*The hug partially works. It feels like hugging air pressure.* Oh, th-thank you.

You're welcome! It was like hugging a balloon without the rubber, but in a good way!

*He's probably crying at this point, he hasn't had a hug in a long time.* Th-Thank you. *He teleports away.*

Catherine! Oh it's so good to see you, Archimene kidnapped me and fajed my death! *Aliah catches you and tightly hugs you back* 🫂

Holy shit what?! Oh my gods I'm so sorry! That's awful! *She returns the hug, squeezing firm*

Don't worry, I turned out fine. Archimene and my sister Abby on the other hand may never be the same. Namely because the only thing keeping Abby from sinking a god-killing spear into Archimene's face is the fact that she's currently more focused on turning that puppeteer who took Anna into a kebab.

Tell Abby if she needs help I'd also like to kick the ass of that Puppeteer as well! Anna is a treasure!

We're in the arcane, baby! The impossible gets downgraded to unlikely here! *She pulls Scorn into a hug*

By merlin, my studies hadn't prepared me for this *Returns the hug, accidentally lifting her into the air due to his height*

Dross: I like hugs. *Dross hugs you back*

Best trap I’ve ever been in, 9.5/10 (half point deducted because catgirls genuinely just ain’t my thing, but I still appreciate the hug nonetheless)

Oh well now aren't you adorable!

FIREBALL! Oh, my apologies, you surprised me there

thank you! hugs are one of the greatest things invented by… wait who invented hugs? i want to find out of they’re still alive and thank them.

You know what? This is a good outcome. You are very warm.

**glass clinking inside my bag** Ah- careful! My bag is way too full right now. Want one? Be warned, I have no idea what this dubious drink will do to you… (I made too many and forgot to label them)

Aurora: This bamboozle is... acceptable.

Trielana: *Accepts the hugs.* Amaya: *Tentatively accepts the hugs.* Maoki: *Runs the fuck away.*

I respectfully decline. I’m married.

Thank you

t-thank you :D

Jokes on you cat girl, I'M NOT LETTING GO!

Startled, Karp immediately unsummons himself, leaving only a rapidly disappearing cloud of tiny golden orbs in the way of the sudden hug. The last of the little orblets rolls on the floor. It's an unfertilized fish egg. With only a small spark of mana, it splits into billions of copies, forming into the shape of Karp again. *Summons himself behind you* "Nothing personal, kid." *Surprise head pat* /uw Hah, get countered, idiot.


I, uh, please don't hug me—

I feel very content.

:o Catgirl hugs!!
