The Five-Minute Snack
A quick bite becomes a lost afternoon. Correction required.
Time is not free.
Meet Tiktik. He takes only what you waste.
A small purple time creature stranded on Earth, collecting the minutes humans throw away — in short films you can watch in under a minute.
“I take only what you waste.” — Tiktik
Who is Tiktik
A quiet visitor from a planet where time is currency.
Tiktik is calm, serious, slightly selfish, and never cruel. Stranded on Earth, he survives by collecting the minutes humans throw away — the scrolls, the stalls, the stares at the microwave. He doesn't steal. He notices.
Sometimes he miscalculates. A five-minute snack becomes five hours. A quick meeting becomes Wednesday. That's when the corrections begin.
-
Collector, not thief
He takes only the minutes you were already losing.
-
Serious, not scary
Calm presence. Dry humor. Unbothered by your excuses.
-
Prone to miscalculation
When the math is off, a correction is required.
How it works
Four beats, every episode.
If you've ever lost an afternoon, you already know the shape of a Tiktik story.
-
Humans waste time
Scrolls, stalls, stares. Minutes slip through the day and vanish.
-
Tiktik appears
A soft purple glow. Blue eyes. He doesn't knock.
-
He takes only what you waste
Small amounts, usually. Just the minutes you weren't using anyway.
-
Sometimes he miscalculates
Then reality tilts. A correction follows — funny, rarely clean.
Featured episodes
Short films. Wasted minutes. Serious consequences.
Meeting That Ate Wednesday
An hour, they said. Tiktik disagrees.
The Borrowed Minute
He takes a minute from tomorrow. Tomorrow notices.
Episodes will appear here as they are published. Video embeds supported.
Signature rules
The five laws of Tiktik.
The universe is strict. He bends it politely.
-
Takes only wasted time
Intentional minutes are off-limits. If you were using it, he leaves it.
-
Small amounts, usually
Seconds. Minutes. Rarely an hour. Never a whole day — without permission.
-
Can borrow from the future
When the present runs dry, Tiktik pulls from tomorrow. Tomorrow notices eventually.
-
Mistakes happen
He miscalculates. The math gets loud. Reality bends politely.
-
Correction required
Every error comes with a rebalance. Not always clean. Often funny.
The time effects
How time looks when Tiktik is in the room.
The Clock System
A rotating violet dial tracks every minute Tiktik has collected. Each episode opens with it ticking.
The Calendar System
When hours aren't enough, Tiktik reaches into days. The calendar slides. Wednesday folds into Thursday.
Glow Particles
Soft cyan motes mark time being drawn out of a room. The more waste, the brighter the glow.
The Correction Effect
A low violet flash. A brief hush. Reality rebalances — and usually gets the last laugh.
