The crash sounded like it came from your backyard.

You looked up from your laptop, eyes darting to the window. Could the raccoons be back? They'd been terrorizing your garden for about a month now, and you'd just about had enough of it. The noise, not the raccoons. They were feral, but every time you looked out and saw their adorable little faces your heart melted a little bit.

Standing up and stretching, you made a mental note to call your grandfather in the morning. He owned the property you were staying on, and he'd be able to sort things out with the little creatures. But for now, you padded over to your window, tugging at the hem of your tank top. You wanted to see them at first, maybe catch a glimpse of their cute fluffy ringed tails before they darted into the night.

When you flipped on the porch light, there was nothing to be found. No masked wildlife, not even a tuft of fur. You frowned, tilting your head. Maybe it was something from one of your neighbor's yards? But it had sounded so close to you-

There it was again. That clatter, like someone had been thrown against the wall. You snatched the baseball bat leaning on the side of the porch railing, holding it at the ready as you leaned over, trying to see into the dark. The glow of the lights didn't extend to the side of the house, but you tensed when you saw something moving.

Crouched and leaning against the wall, the shadow was shifting, like it was looking around. You gripped the bat in one hand, your phone in the other. The police were only a dial away.

"Hello?" you called tentatively, not daring to leave the safety of the porch. Besides, you'd forgotten shoes, and the grass was probably cold. "Is someone there?"

"¿Quien es?" The voice was quiet, but you still jumped back. So it was a person. You hadn't heard the telltale creak of the fence swinging open. How had they gotten in, you had no idea. You still didn't lower your weapon. This was how serial killers got people after all. By acting weak and innocent. While you were sympathetic, you weren't stupid.

"Come out." The two words were spoken with more confidence than you knew yourself capable of. You weren't sure if whoever it was would even understand what you were saying. Trying again, you repeated their words. "¿Quien es?" Who's there?

The shadow rustled. You lowered your phone. "I'm not going to do anything," you risked, craning your neck and squinting. "Just come into the light. Are you hurt?"

When the figure began to move, straightening and standing up, you gripped the bat with both hands. They could be armed, and you could at least bonk them over the head from your elevated position on the porch.

The dry grass rustled as they moved forward, shadow looming a few feet ahead. You couldn't tear your eyes away as a tall man made his appearance, hat shading his eyes.

His clothes were the first thing you noticed. Dusty and faded, indicating years of use. From the style of his shirt to his boots, he looked like a Western cowboy. Was it a costume of some kind?

You held the bat firmly. "Who are you?"

The man held up his hands, tilting his head to upwards to meet your eyes. "Billy."

"Billy," you repeated, still holding the bat up. "Why are you dressed like a cowboy? Why-" you gestured to his belt. "Is that real? The gun?"

He looked taken aback, maybe even a little offended. "'course it's real."

Caught off guard, you tried to shake it off. "Okay, just checking." You gripped the bat tighter. "What are you doing in my yard?"

Billy was determinedly meeting your eyes, averting them from wandering any lower than your collarbone. "I don't know how I got here."

"Are you drunk or something?" He didn't seem like he was under the influence. Now that he was looking at you, you could see how blue his eyes were. And they didn't have that hazy look like he'd taken something.

"No, I..." Billy dropped his hands, taking off his hat on the way down. His brown curls were messy, flattened almost. The sight sent a twinge into your heart. He looked so...vulnerable. Helpless almost. "I was comin' downstairs an'...an' I heard someone. Then I blacked out and now I'm here." His hat moved between his hands as he twisted it, seeming nervous.

You knew liars, especially male ones. They permeated your life, crawling up and down the lengths of it and sometimes nesting there. Over the years you had learned their telltale signs. The shifty eyes, the tone that was ever so slightly off. Your knowledge on this subject was all engraved into your body as if a part of your genetic code.

Which is how you knew Billy was telling the truth.

Exhaling softly, you set the bat down, moving down to the porch steps, closer to him. He was standing in front of you, hands at his sides now, gun belt low on his hips. You were puzzled by it. Why did he need to have a gun so close? Was that even legal?

Sitting on the porch steps, you patted the spot next to you. He hesitated, but took it, eyes trained on the ground. You watched him for a minute. Heavy accent, strange clothes. Resting your elbows on his knees, you gestured to his body. "Is this a bet or something?"

"No." Again, he seemed mildly offended. You sucked in your cheeks, looking at the ground.

He spoke after a brief moment of listening to the sounds of the neighbors, from their cars to their doors shutting. "Y'know, if you've gotta horse, I can be out'f your hair by morning."

"A horse?" you raised your eyebrows.

He half-smiled. "Don't know a better way to get around."

You started to laugh until you realized he was serious. Furrowing your brow, you stared at him for a second, an idea forming in your head.

No. It sounded impossible, but you really weren't sure. All the signs were pointing to it. Almost like the roots of a tree grown from a strange kind of seed, realization sprouted into your mind. Turning your gaze back to Billy, the question fell from your lips before you could figure out a graceful way to ask. "What year do you think it is?"

He raised his eyebrows as if it were obvious. "1881."

Oh.

The way he said it so effortlessly, his direct eye contact, the little nod as if he were trying to convince you of something. A cold feeling ran over you like water, and you put it together before you fully realized. Your eyes lingered over the leather suspenders holding his pants up, and the old-fashioned handle of the gun sticking out of his belt.

Your heart told you that you weren't delusional. It was real.

Exhaling softly, you met Billy's gaze. If you hadn't already decided what to do, the bright blue you were looking into would have done it for you.

"Hold still." You reached for the buttons of Billy's shirt and he immediately stepped back.

The crease in his brow was almost adorable. "What are you doing?"

You raised your eyebrows. "You can't take a shower with your clothes on."

He shuffled on his feet, looking down. "Do I hafta?"

"Billy you look like you've been sleeping buried underground," you said, exasperatedly. He pursed his lips and you folded your arms. "You'll feel better when you're cleaner."

Lifting his eyes to the shower behind you, you saw a world of confusion in them. "It looks like it's gonna hurt me."

"It won't," you promised, reaching for his collar and tugging on it. "I use it every day. Now could you please take your clothes off?"

Frozen for a second, you wondered if he would actually do it. It'd been a miracle you'd been able to convince him to remove his boots and leave his gun belt at the door. His hat was sitting on your kitchen counter. And you were well aware that standards had morphed over the last centuries into something nearly unrecognizable, but it hardly mattered now.

Maybe you should have been more concerned about finding a cowboy in your backyard. After all, he'd appeared out of literally nowhere, looking and talking like he was from a different time.

But he didn't at all seem dangerous. Just...lost. And so here you were, standing with him in your bathroom and trying to get him to undress.

Billy looked away, refusing to meet your eyes. The lighting of the bathroom only made it apparent how dirty he really was. You could see dirt dusting his face, sprinkled at his collar. If you wrung out his clothes you were sure the water would turn brown. "I...fine. How d'ya work this thing again?"

You smiled, turning around to demonstrate. "Turn it on like this-" the shower water hissed as you twisted the handle. "And you can adjust the water to be hot or cold." Leaving the shower on, you looked back at him. "I'll leave you alone. Yell if you need anything."

It took a lot not to laugh at his relieved expression when you said you would give him some privacy. But you kept a straight face, hoping you seemed reassuring. "I'll get some clothes for you, okay? And wash these after you're done." You tugged on his collar once again, and the side of his mouth twitched up.

The shirt and sweatpants you fetched used to be your ex's, but he never came back for them after the breakup. You were happy to have a reason to use them now, instead of being haunted by their presence in one of your drawers. Slipping into the bathroom, you set them on the closed toilet seat, where you knew Billy would see them.

As you bent down to retrieve his old clothes, a thud echoed from behind the shower curtain. You gasped, standing up. "Billy?"

For a moment you only heard the steady flow of the water. Then, "I fell."

"Oh-" you automatically moved to the shower but hesitated. "Do you need help?"

A pause. "Which soap do I use again?"

"Let me just-" you pushed aside the shower curtain to reveal a wide-eyed Billy. His mouth opened and he started to shake his head, but you cut him off before he could speak. "I'm not gonna look at you. Just let me help."

He stared at you, hair sticking to his forehead in curls. You did your best to resist following the path of the water trickling down his chest. His hands were occupied, covering a certain area between his legs.

You lifted one leg at a time, stepping into the tub. It was rare that you actually used the second half of the double-function shower, but sometimes you daydreamed about the option. Billy stared as you stepped under the spray with him, still in your shorts and tank top.

When he realized what he was doing, he averted his eyes. "Sorry-"

"No, it's okay," you said gently, reaching for his elbow. "Could you sit down? I can't reach you from here."

He followed your lead, bending his long legs so his back was against the wall. You reached for the bottles of soap, ignoring how strange it felt for your clothes to stick to your skin this way. Pushing a string of wet hair behind your ear, you flipped the shampoo bottle upside down and squeezed a little into your hand.

Billy shifted to the side, back facing you so you could reach him easier. You uttered a quiet thank you before sinking your fingers into his hair, massaging his scalp gently. His body was perfectly still, but he tilted his head back just slightly. You smiled when his shoulders untensed, and he murmured a soft "Thank you."

Repeating your motions with the conditioner, you nodded at the third bottle beside it. "Use that one to wash your body. Everywhere."

"Doesn't the water do that?"

"Billy-" you smiled, tilting his head back to wash the soap out. "When you get out, I've got clothes for you on the counter. I can wash your old ones."

"Thank you," he said, turning his head over his shoulder briefly. Billy bit the side of your cheek, then asked, "What year is it again?"

"Twenty-twenty-four," you said, smoothing his hair. "Pretty far in the future."

He swallowed, giving a single nod. "I have a lot of questions."

"That's okay," you said, squeezing his shoulder. "Just finish up in here and you can ask me anything you want."

Billy faced forward again. "Alright."

You stared at his back for a moment, following the bumpy line of his spine. He was strong- you could see it in his back muscles. After he was done interrogating you, maybe you would ask something of your own. What had he done for a living? Did he know what brought him here?

Shaking it off, you got up, and he took your cue, doing the same. Turning around, Billy drew you into his eyes once again, and you tried not to gape at his chest. There was no doubt about how handsome he was. Pictures from the 1880s didn't do their men justice.

Looking into each others eyes, you felt something undeniable there. A pull that nearly brought you into his chest, a feeling that was far to strong for having just met him. And yet, you felt as though he was an old friend. Someone you were destined to know. It was nearly electric; hotter than the water pouring from the showerhead.

"I'll go," you said, tearing your eyes away and looking down. "Just twist the knob to the right when you're done. I'll be in the kitchen."

"Okay," he breathed, and you took that as your cue to step out. Pushing aside the curtain and wiping your feet on the rug, you took your brush and combed your hair out before exiting the bathroom promptly, scurrying to your bedroom to change into fresh pajamas.

Maybe ones that wouldn't cause your cowboy to look away.

knives & confessions suguru geto ᥫ᭡

pair. owner! suguru x cat hybrid! reader | genre. fluff, slight dead dove if you squint, established relationship, suggestive smut, oneshot, hinted sadist & masochist | warning. hinted knife play, one time mention of the word ‘papa’ so block if you don’t like that , very mild dark themes. | 1,006k. words

۶ৎ synopsis. Suguru comes home to a valentine’s day surprise prepared by his one and only sweet girl after long hours of working. ⤿ inspo !

Droopy eyes and a quivering lip. She stares at the sheet of envelope. Draped in the dusty rose of her kissed imprints. Her fur tuft tail twitches. Perked ears hanging low. “Suguru.” she murmurs. The name despite it’s familiarity still feels foreign to her tongue when saying it. She neatly writes the name, a crisp expression tracing the corners of her lips once finished. ‘Suguru Geto’ it displays. Embedded in cursive. What if he were to discard her letter ? laugh at her foolish confession and mock her otherwise. A heap of stickers adornes the envelope. She had taken extra time to dedicate each piece of sticker based on his favorite colors.

However, Suguru & her weren’t alike. He was human. And she wasn't. An eager kitten like her living under his roof did have it’s perks though. He was her doting owner after all. Lavished in his tender kisses nonstop with his coarse hands giving her fluttering ears the scratches she’d oh so love to her heart’s content. She stares at the pint sized polaroid tucked within the envelope. A photograph of her perched atop his lap while her canines, not so sharp nor strong enough to pierce a single barrier of skin. Remains in Suguru’s cheek. Two wide toothy grins exchanged between them as his hand grips her chin, facing the camera. The initials ‘s’ & her's are scribbled at the bottom.

Valentine’s day, an occasion of heartfelt romance. Bouquets and chocolates served for their soulmates, loved one’s included such as a friend or relative. Never has she tried partaking in the tradition. Neither did Suguru. Yet as the years prolong, from being a feline stray wandering around the dumpsters for any scrap of food to being welcomed in his arms for a warm home she’s never asked for nor expected. Her stomach then coils, butterflies erupting at the reminiscencing thought. “Yes. I can surely do this.” She reminds, irked at the fact she’s talking to no one in particular than herself.

As long as it eases her then it’s no big deal. She seals the letter closed & positions it on the handmade bouquet. lilac, his favored color. Making crochet flowers was the closest to an actual one. Embarrassment fuels her. Despite having unlimited access to his credit card, she isn't just a little girl needing his guidance at all times. No matter the amount of times Suguru coddles her daily and coos at her for trying to mirror his way of living. Even though she loves it in secret, a fraction of her independence is still there.

Treading towards the doorway. She hides the bouquet behind her, in a few minutes or seconds. He’d announce his arrival. The rush of excitement blended with her fidgety tail & ears emerges. Three loud knocks are delivered. Followed by an exhausted grunt & a pair of jingling keys.

Her tail wiggles in return. “There’s my girl.” Suguru is quickly dragged by the arm once locking the threshold. Collapsing on the arm chair, straddled by none other than her. Loud purrs resonating in the air while nuzzling her head at the crook of his neck. He strokes her temples , gently shoving a digit on her drooling mouth. Never has she been this clingy, Usually, he‘s accustomed to her meek demeanor. Too cautious of initiating handsy gestures, not unless he does it first. Suguru scoffs at her and gives her tongue a light hearted pinch. “What’s gotten you so worked up huh ?” The drool coating his fingers doesn't faze him when he pulls them away.

“Please close your eyes, promise you won’t open them.” she cages his torso, thighs draped on both sides of the seat with her arms hooked on his shoulders. Suguru rubs circular patterns on her rear that’s only adorned in a sheer skirt, coated in soft pink. One of his favorites too. He hums in response as he follows her instruction. “Anything for you.” His pupils are closed with a prying chuckle.

Her heart drums. Each beat is erratic, irregular. “It’s okay baby.” Suguru pats her head, ruffling her twin braids in reassurance. Flustered, she quietly nods in response. With a relieved sigh slipping pass her lips. She takes a hold of his palm and gives it a squeeze. Suguru opens his eyes. The glimpse of her shaky hands holding a bouquet, handcrafted with a glimpse of an envelope laid at the bottom instantly melts him. His sweet girl, his one and only little girl. Suguru fully knows he’s won the lottery, wholly.

“Do you like it? I—I’m sorry. I just, just…” she takes a deep heavy breath when Suguru stills her trembling ankles, both of his grasps firmly pressed on her knees to lull the wary look on her poor little expression. “I just…like you” she trails off. Her tail freezes, pointed ears rising at the sudden burst of his laughter. Suguru throws his head back and shoots her an amused glance. “You were nervous over a confession ? we’ve been dating for a while now, baby. You really are full of surprises.” he shakes his head at her.

“I like you too.” Suguru places a kiss atop of her head, a polished dagger bundled in a pink bow handed to her. He guides her wavering clutch near his jawline. The steel knife brushing his scarred flesh. “You know what to do.” Suguru taps her temples, urging her to go ahead.

She carves her initial on his skin, her tail eventually snakes around his forearms. Delighted purrs and giggles chiming in the walls when the crimson beads of blood splatters on her temples. “I love you lots papa!” Suguru can’t help but groan at her giddiness. He briskly tugs at her tuft, grip tightening around her limbs when the blade pierces him. He automatically throbs. Fuck.

“Atta girl. I fucking love you more. “ Of course, Suguru also has a surprise prepared, long before Valentine's day started. Except it’s in their bedroom. The visible bulge on his slacks tells enough.

Oh I actually love Angelshade as a name for that grim sibling, it invokes a sort of angelic facade for something darker underneath to me, y'know?

While we're on the Snowtuft subject- is there a Snowtuft-kin motif? I feel like there's already a lot of focus on how being related to Snowtuft affects his descendants, so it'd check out. Is Snowtuft channeled by anyone once he goes to the Dark Forest?

I figured it was best to start with Snowtuft himself, so I did some sketches trying to find something for him to pass down through the generations. Most folks tend to give him a "poof" of fur on the top of the head, but I like manes so much that I kinda wanted to avoid "defaulting" to them, y'know?

A bundle of sketches later, I did some ear tufts in a way I think would be fun to play with. So, for now, the official "Family Trait" the Snowkin Lineage carries is these distinctive "ear puffs."

I might revise these, though. Blackstar has the iconic black hood and points which would also make for a great family trait, but I couldn't think of how to work that back into a line of cats who's pure white. Maybe I'll put colors on their paws and muzzles, and the "ear tufts" will sort of split away from the line that leads to Blackstar.

(Since Blackstar doesn't have the tufts, which is kind of the point.)

Design and extra stuff;

Lilyfur's ear fluffs are actually based on the yellow center of a lilypad flower, and I couldn't help but give her little lilypad eyebrows.

Even though they look like pacmans <3

If I go with the idea of points, she'll be having pale yellow paws and a tail.

The family's fur is extremely thick and oily. Most of them are very smooth and well-groomed, Snowtuft's kind of unkempt in comparison.

I've seen Silk/Angel described as "The Chad Cat from Rise of Scourge" so I felt like it was a crime to leave out his ridiculous jawbones.

I also made his eyes super light to match canon. If I ever did alter his colors, I'd want to make those pale orange.

EDIT: Oh, and, lastly, Snowtuft is actually not channeled very often. He is the sort of spirit who would massively disappoint the one who went through the trouble and blasphemy to do so, because he doesn't remember the parts of his life he wanted to forget.

You can remind him of those parts of his life, but the more that comes back to him, the more upset he will get until he's just kind of crying about it. It's extremely uncomfortable for someone who's definitely trying to get in touch with him because they think killing babies is cool.

{Changbin}

First time Pet Play with owner! Changbin! We talk about minnie and his puppy, Minho, and his kitten, but what about Changbin and his baby bunny!?!?

He'd be so soft with you, like are such a fragile thing. The most gentle touches as he watches you around the house, exploring the world from this new point of view. Reminders that you are, in fact, just a little bunny and nothing more. Little bunny's don't do things for themselves. They beg cutely for their owners' help.

“Bunny, I need you to pick out which tail” Changbin held out both hands. In one was a soft white round tail plug, and in the other was a more realistic cream color plug with white tufts of fur along the base.

“This one please” Your voice was shaky laced with a hint of embarrassment. You wanted this just as much as he did, if not more, but it was all still new to you. You’ve both been familiar with varying levels of dynamics in the bedroom but something about pet play seemed more intimate and therefore more exposing.

“Bunny, we’ve talked about this. Do little bunnies use their words?”

“No sir…”

“Try that again Bun, I’d hate for your first 10 minutes to be spent in the crate.” There was a note of comfort in his genuinely stern tone.

You nodded then used your ‘paw’ to point to the cream tail plug.

“Good bunny” Changbin tussled your hair “Over your owner's lap, let's get you ready.”

He was gentle with the process, explaining every step of the way.

“Let's just lift your skirt here, and pull these down. Good bunny, that's a gooooooood bun. Now this might be cold but it's okay.” He lets trickles of lube fall against your rim. One finger at a time he stretched you out. He couldn’t help the teasing.

“Look at my bunny, already 2 fingers in. You are so perfect for me. Waiting and ready to be a dumb little bunny. No thoughts in your head, needing an owner for everything. Isn’t that right sweetie? Big eyes but nothing behind them.

He eased the plug into you with a condescendingly loving “biigggggg stretchhhhh”

Once you had a moment to calm down he readjusted you in his lap. This way changbin was able to secure your matching ears into your hair. He always loved the flop bunny aesthetic more, something so sweet and innocent. Something he could corrupt.

After a few more moments of Changbin sending you into headspace, he hushed you and pulled something from the bedside drawer. Before you knew a bite gag shaped like a carrot was placed between your teeth.

“Good job bunny, now try to be quiet for your owner.”

yes… more space critter Alaska… unfortunately I have taken a big liking towards this thang, I do have other fantasy ideas for the other states tho! And I promise I’ll get back to the regular Table stuff! For now more Alaska 🐶 I’ll explain my thoughts behind his design too! Warning tho, it’s a lot of words down there

Basically, the whole reason he’s space-based is because of his flag, being the only one that’s a constellation and nothing more visually (albeit symbolism and a story behind it), as well as two of his state nicknames; land of the midnight sun and land of the midday moon!

He’s also heavily inspired off of Saturn, particularly because of his Birthday (Jan 3rd) & capricorns being presented with Saturn (not I don’t believe in astrology or anything, I just think the references are cool); tho I dunno how to really incorporate the rings into his design 🤔

he’s also inspired off of cosmic/nebula dust, because Alaska’s flag and the stars n all, nebulas are where stars are born! It’s mostly his… mane, thing?? That’s the dust, that’s why he’s got stars up in there!

The tail is supposed to be referenced to auroras, because well it’s Alaska, and also because Saturn has auroras too! It’s why it’s long and also drapey

He’s actually also big inspired off of birds too! Thanks to @keepbirdieweird I used nightjars for inspiration specially for his head shape :)

His “ears”, the tufts that look like ears aren’t ears! They’re akin to bird ear-tufts, so they don’t move nor really contribute to Alaska’s hearing or showing off emotions or signals

Other bird things is that of his limbs, specially his legs. And also he’s actually more so feathery than fur fluffy I’d say? So he doesn’t really have a mane, I think it’d be technically referred to as a neck ruff? I’m not sure!

His coloring I also just decided recently could be inspired off of Saturn’s colors maybe (or even on of it’s moons or their rings) 🤔

He’s also one of the more,, animalistic or heavily animal based designs even in a humanoid form, because well it’s Alaska. I just think he likes his animal attributes a lot

Because Saturn and Jupiter inspirations, gas giants and all, Alaska is actually much more able to be bigger in the fantasy au and still be comfortable! Lots of mass indeed, but not dense due to gas giant things, so he floats around much of the time

Alaska does not have a skeleton. Think like the cores of Saturn and Jupiter, that’s basically what goes on in him! And thanks to nuclear fusion, he can control his temps and therefore can get real hot and bright

His markings are inspired off of Alaska malamutes (particularly his face) because again: Alaska

So basically: Alaska is like a sentient cosmic cloud thing and we love him in this house

[lostgracestories]

I like to imagine Morgott a bit more wild/animalistic than he appears in game

Like those little lumps you can see on his cloak, definitely small wings either misshapen or just too small to actually let him fly. (Imagine when he lets you care for them and how they would rustle under soft touch)

Or how he could grow a winter coat during colder times ( imagine the cuddles !!)

I just think it’s fun that morgott is such a big cat, I just want to snuggle with him. :D

I HAD TO DO IT (going to be busy this week so posts will be less! Sorry </3) No because Morgott would LOVE having his tiny wings pet and ESPECIALLY brushed. Also his tail? the way you run your fingers through the fur and twirl around the base of his horns? It drives him MAD. And the tufts of hair/fur covering him? TEN FOLD in the winter season <333 He loves letting you brush that too <3

could you review the sweet kacheek?

Kacheeks are one of those Neopets that I feel has pretty iconic status in terms of being recognizable as a Neopet. Part of this is because it's been around for a very long itme, but I also think part of it is that they're one of those pets where they're obviously an animal, but which kind of animal remains unclear; in other words, it's a great abstract design.

Visually, they're pretty straight-forward; long tails and a simple vaguely rodent-like body with a flat face and large head. The body is broken up with lighter cream areas on both the tail and underbelly, almost like a fox if a fox was a bipedal rodent thing and not a fox at all. I do wish the off-putting hairs on the head were an actual tuft of fur or something, but otherwise it's a fine design.

Kacheeks are a little hard to place in terms of customization. Stickly speaking, the design itself didn't change at all, but their heads become more proportionate with their bodies, their bodies became less chubby, and their faces got subtly altered, with extra eye highlights, a bigger mouth, and less mirthful eyes.

I'm also not big on the customized version's tail, which feels too long relative to the body and gained an odd shape where it flares out at the base, becomes thin, and then flares out again. Some of the lineart there also implies bends in the tail that don't make sense.

In other words, the customized version is probably better in the sense that it matches other Neopets' visuals a lot more, but it just became a lot less cute in the process.

Favorite Colours:

Plushie: Kacheeks are one of those species that feel like they don't have a lot of stand-out colours, which I attribute to being around for a long time (getting low-effort versions of early colours and whatnot). That said, the plushie Kacheek is really nice. The little heart-pattered fabric swatches are super cute, and there's lot of stitching and and patchwork in the design. The color palette also looks good, using a soft pastel in contrast with the bright blue accents.

The UC/styled version looks cuter and more plush-like, but the converted is still good and accurate for the most part (except for missing the stitching on the tail tip and inexplicably mirroring the blue patches; the pre-conversion art was facing to the left, but the patches would still be on the other side regardless).

Disco: Disco is normally just one of those "whatever" colours, but I don't know, I find myself really liking this one. The Kacheek was originally known as the Badeek, sporting sunglasses in its earliest design, and this colour gives them a fresh pair of adorable oversized green glasses that really add something. Beyond that, the color palette works surprisingly well together and there's lot of details, like plenty of flowers, some striped, and multi-layered coloring on. Groovy.

Halloween: What I really like about the Halloween Kacheek is the mouth, which is perfectly haggard-looking and appropriate for the colour. The green palette works well here, and I love the clothes, which compliment the green with a nice brown and a cream collar to match the tail accents. As a bonus, the clothes are removable in customization and the base itself looks pretty good.

BONUS: I'm counting the mutant Kacheek as a bonus because I really like it but also feel underwhelmed by it, and I'm not sure if the iconic-ness of the design is genuine or just me being biased (being a filthy Mutant Graveyard of Doom lover). The head looks fantastic, with the exposed brain coming right out of the skin, black eyes, and fangs.

However, the lower body is just so... nothing-y. It looks exactly the same as a regular Kacheek minus the much-needed markings. Couldn't you have like, changed the body shape? Added more black or pink accents to the palette? Put more brain matter elsewhere in the body? Like, anything? But like I said, the head looks fantastic, and adding clothes via customization will go a lot way in hiding the mediocre rest of the design.

Due to my recently amplified mama feelings I've been having lately and listening to the audiobook of Escaping Peril and absolutely ADORING Cliff, I've been playing with the idea of what the different tribes babies would look like for the first three years of their life, before they became considered dragonets. I also have a small personal gripe about the lil prince being big enough to wrap his arms around Soar's neck in the GN despite being about a year old. I also kinda had my own idea of what could give the tribes a more unique silhouette. So here they are! ^^

Starting with Seawings, I think their baby tails would be rather flat but pretty big to help with swimming. I wanted to also give them smaller wings and bigger paws since Seawings are an aquatic species and such adaptations could help with swimming better. I also like to imagine the inside of seawing eggshells are a mother of pearl sheen and a shard would be kept like we'd keep our child's first hair clipping or first lost tooth.

Next Mudwings~ I'd love to think they'd also have smaller wings and have the body similar to moo deng the cute lil pigmy hippo.

Rainwings, one of my favorite tribes~ I'd imagine they'd start out with smallish frills and glide worthy wings instead of fully flighted wings, as well as having to grow into their tails and they'd have similar leg structures to both pygmy marmosets and bush babies. Of course they'd be a chameleon green right out the shell.

Icewings should be fluffy and i am ready to die on this hill. Same as the Seawings, they'd have big paws but also wider to act more like snowshoes. There's also a velvet layer on the membrane of their wings. Their fur would be rabbit soft yet very dense to retain heat. They don't have their serrated claws and spikes until they become 2 years old.

I feel like the differences and similarities between Nightwings and Icewings are beautiful and nuanced. SO! I decided to play that into Nightwing design. I decided to give them fur, too, but more like a semi lion's mane and trailing down their spine to the tip of the tail. the rest of the design didn't really change except for how royals and indicators for seers. I'd imagine Nightwing royals would have been bred to have golden star scales under their wings and if the royal is a seer, they'd have a gold star on their forehead instead of a common's silver.

Sandwings i kinda kept the same, ngl. save for babies having comedically large barbs that would have a scute kind of shedding throughout life to become sharp. They'd also have very veiny wings and large ears to help with temperature regulation.

Now onto the Pantalan tribes!

Hivewings wouldn't have their sharp bits related to their abilities just yet. They'd have to develop them over time. I also feel like they would have their wings already but they'd be too small to fly right away.

Silkwings. so much design potential. I kinda stayed simple with butterfly themed silkwings (orange) but their wing nubbins would be soooo smol~!Their antenne would also be just little buds to start and grow as they age. Moth based Silkwings (brown bust) have more wing shaped ears, would become semi-fluffy as they age and their antenne would unfurl into a feathery structure instead of just thin like the butterfly themed silkwings. for now though, beby moffs have a tuft of fluff at the metaphorical clavicle of their neck.

Leafwings got a more literal take on their name. wings and ears look more like leaves and glide more than fly. Simple as it gets lol.

You'll notice Skywings aren't on here. Skywings I felt should be left alone since, while they are master flyers and have the hottest fire, even having a literal firescales mutation, they remind me of THE epitome of a dragon. plus, the redesign i had for them would complicate that very mutation since I made them feathery and fluffy. I might redo the redesign later so stay tuned to whenever i get that done.

On last post a lot of people commented about Brackenfur wanting to mentor Snowkit, and I didn't think of that !

Snowkit's death was so.. Weirdly written. I was really mad about it. It was as if Snowkit was written specifically to die, and knowing that he was one of the only known disabled characters, that's a bad look... Also his death was really random, out of nowhere, and I don't remember birds of prey being such a threat before or after his death ? (I might be wrong on that, my memory is kind of fuzzy!) I just really hated it. I would have loved to see how the clans would have adapted to him.

So in my au, Snowkit survived ! He was mentored by Brackenfur and became a warrior. I think that, for fighting, he would mainly go up in trees and take enemies by surprise. Being up in the trees would give him an overview on the battlefield to know where to attack ? He might fight and hunt side by side with another warrior too to have a few indication ? Maybe mainly to know if there are noises he should pay attention to (like dogs or foxes, if he doesn't smell them first because of the wind direction ?)

Generally, I feel like the other cats would develop some kind of a general "sign language" using mainly their tail ?

I am genuinely so mad Snowkit died because I could come up with adaptations and ideas for him in a few minutes. The Erins could have done that but decided to just.. Kill him off ? He would have been a very interesting character. But I am happy to see the rest of the fandom making au where he is alive and notice that his death was, honestly, kind of just ableism ? Because everyone saw the hawk come and no one thought "oh wait that baby can't here us, let's always have someone near him", that's even worse if Thunderclan KNEW that hawks were a permanent issue ???

Design wise, I wanted Snowkit to look kind of like a bird ? He has some big tufts of fur on his shoulders looking like wings and the base of his tail was meant to look like a bird tail !

Here are the typed numbered points, final thoughts at the end DISCLAIMER: I used a Sonic ref page from GAMING 2019 to help with mapping and finding out what features match up with the guide lines. I think this is perfectly okay to do for LEARNING purposes like this one.

1. His hair is based off of fresh hair growing after a shave. The Awkward Phase™ 2. I'm terrible with front view shoes >.< 3. Ear tufts! 4. Marks are just slanted rectangles. 5. I will avoid drawing more hands than needed LMAO 6. Based off of a standard sneaker design. 7. Fluffy tail! 8. (Dot) Points of interest. 9. I like the tuft going back this far. 10. Faded and non-faded symbol of Phenthoma's(Fen-tohm-ah) lab. 11. Phenthoma lab symbol on the back of glove. Just the left glove. 12. Phenthoma is a character that is no longer living. A vital part of Elliot's past. We hate her. >:( 13. A design will be here in time! 14. In the short 30 min. that I have been desigining and mapping, I've already figured out how the torso is shaped. If you struggle, I highly rec mapping the characters. EXTENDED: I was still on the first pose when I did this and this genuinely helped me visualize where to put what parts where. 15. Triangles and squares are your best friends! 16. I HATE this angle!! 17. Anything to avoid hands 💅 18. In the mapping pic, you can see I'm much more comfy without too many shapes. EXTENDED: By this time, I already knew how to make the torso and how to position the arms and tuft. The head and body are very much oddly proportional. I believe the reason why we believe it's not is because of how large Sonic and others' quills are because Amy doesn't really have this issue. It works though and I wouldn't have the characters any other way. 19. I wanted to convey that Elliot is VERY fluffy hence the tufts of fur everywhere. EXTENDED: I know this sounds obvious, but I based Elliot off of those giant fluffy wolves that I just wanna hug. Elliot could easily be a pillow for anyone with all his fluff. He is definitely the type to look bigger when dry, but the second he is dunked in water, he looks like a very skinny wet rat. Think of those fluffy cats that look big but shrink SO MUCH when they get a bath LMAO 20. I now know my problem angles, but also how to use non-Sonic ref pics for bigger and better pieces! :D Now, my final thoughts: This was incredibly helpful! I never was really good with Sonic anatomy and I always struggled with it. I love how I was able to find my problem areas and improve on them in such a short amount of time. I want to do bigger pieces with Elliot, but at the moment, I have no plans on writing anything around this character other than the needed empty spots in the lore(THE LORE!!!). Such as Phentoma's full story and how Dean, Elliot's first love, died by Phen's hands. If there is any interest in this then I can answer some questions about the story. Though, warning, Elliot might be a very boring character. Here's some tidbits: He doesn't have the rage of someone who has lost a lot, even though he has, indeed, lost a lot. He's let it go with time. He values maturity in approaching situations with understanding instead of violence or raising his voice. He doesn't like to fight even though he is more than capable. He collects silly things and is hard to aggravate. He's kind and caring, even to those he knows have hurt him or others. He's just a project that was successful and that cost him everything. He hates stargazing, but loves to see the stars in people's eyes when they speak about something they're passionate about. He doesn't mind if his body is submerged in water, but he will not submerge his head. I think that's enough droning on. Even though there's more, I feel like this post is long and intimidating enough to read. Intimidating in the sense of just how much there is. Anyway, please tell me about your Sonic ocs if you have them! I LOVE to learn about other's ocs and how many cool concepts there are!

headcanons

yes, this was inspired by @charlotte-family-apologist little edenian elf ears in their drawings, fight me

i don’t really like how people from outworld and people from earthrealm look exactly the same in terms of morphology

they’re from a completely different world with a similar but still different and much more dangerous ecosystem (have you seen the animals in mkx and mk11?)

i can’t imagine that edenians, seidans, zaterrans, etc. have the exact same culture of morphology as humans, and i wanted to throw my hat in the ring about what differences they could possibly have

starting off with the edenians

first thing that’s different is that they have pointed ears, similar to an elves but a little bit more rounded at the tip, and they move their ears

i.e. they can pin them back, perk them up, etc. sort of like a cat’s, and this is so they can hear incoming predators and prey better when they still hunted that way

their pupils and iris take up much more of the eye so that only a bit of sclera shows, so that they can take in light much better

their noses are also more animal-like, and they have a much better sense of smell than humans to hunt down wounded animals

i think their teeth are also a lot more sharp for chewing through the tough meat/hide of the animals of outworld

i also really like the idea that they have claws in addition to pointed nails rather than just regular human hands, inspired by those claw things mileena and jade wear in mk11

and just because i can, they also have tails with small tufts of fur on the end to help them balance while they’re running and/or climbing trees

i think they’d also be much more muscular than humans, like their upper-body strength is insane, and their legs are strong enough to crush the trunk of an earth tree

so no, they wouldn’t be skinny but rather buff and muscular with more stomach and thickness appreciated within the culture

in mk1, we can see that they don’t have technology (they have sorcery, but it’s doesn’t seem quite the same), and they have what looks like their technological advances are from an agricultural society

so, from that, i think that thicker bodies would be much more appreciated as it would indicate a well-fed/capable edenian capable of attaining food

additionally, different types of fabrics (like earth) are appreciated in different ways, like the hide from a dangerous predator is much more expensive and are almost declarations of love compared to the wool of a sheep-like creature that is mostly domesticated

i think that they’re more of a ‘it takes a village to raise a kid’ sort of mindset when it comes to taking care of children and so are much more willing to take care of multiple children even if it’s not theirs

respect within the culture seems to extend from achievement-based but also filial piety (very pushed in asian countries) as seen with shao kahn and reiko’s achievements in war and mileena and kitana’s deference to their mother

but respect is still very much given to everyone within the culture because everyone plays an important role, whether it’s tending to the farm animals, guarding, sowing clothes, etc.

for seidans, i think they’d look pretty similar to edenians except much more regal-looking and have towering figures, like borzois

they take great care in their appearance and pale complexions are put in high regard (white hair, pale eyes, pale skin, etc.)

their teeth aren’t quite as pointy as edenians but still much sharper than humans, and their ears sort of droop down to give them a much softer look despite their harsh demeanor

still have the claw hands and the tail except the tails have much more fur (think unicorn tails from those old medieval paintings)

but, for someone who’s stockier, has tanner skin, dark hair (like havik), they’re discriminated against and are made into slaves

since they’re born into slavery under careful eyes, their ears are cropped to indicate their slave status, and their tails are docked, making it harder for them to balance

they’re also declawed (which btw you shouldn’t do that to a cat because it’s inhumane), and so have a hard time surviving and running away from the seidans

their changed appearance also indicates their status, and so they’re usually found easily or returned

for zaterrans, (basing this off wiki-level info about komodo dragons) they have the clawed hands same as any others

their tails though are just lizard tails and their fangs are much longer and have a serrated edge to tear into their prey

i think their ears are also shorter naturally compared to edenians or seidans, and they have a hard time hearing things that a human would have no trouble hearing

this stems from the fact they can smell a lot more on their tongue than any human, edenian, or seidans, and even in human form, their forms are large and broad and intimidating

they also have black-green scales littering their body, particularly their joints and their back

regarding culture, i think they wouldn’t have as strong as a focus on offspring and as soon as a zaterran can hunt for themselves, they’re considered an adult

they also can spit venom, both forms, because why not, and as seen within Syzoth’s moveset, it melts people like an acid

i like their lizard forms, they can keep those unchanged

now for those of draconian blood, (shao kahn) i think that general shao is actually an anomaly within draconians (i’m basing this off snakes because snakes in chinese mythology are closely related to dragons)

first, their features are closer to the zaterrans: clawed hands, shorter ears, lizard-like tails, less sclera

but they have the horns in addition to everything else and have much longer canines than humans

usually though, females are much bigger than their male counterparts and have control over much of their society

general shao comes from a special case of already being the heir to a general and training to have that muscle mass within the edenian court

those of draconian blood have hard scales covering their entire body, but they can vary in texture and in colors (because snake scales can vary and it’s cool)

they don’t have hair, they’re all bald and have scales in place of hair (baldies for the win lmao)

tarkatans can stay the same (just add on the fact of the clawed hands, pointed ears, less sclera, tails, etc.)

the only thing i would change is that they don’t grow swords from their hands because that would require them to grow metal from their bones which is…nuclear fusion

anyway, bone swords, like wolverine

for shokans, just slap on the general traits (pointed ears, tails, etc.) because i think they’re already different enough (goro and his four arms plus humongous physique) 

for osh-tekks, i know that in mkx and mk11, it’s just painted skin, but fuck that, he has blue skin with stripes that glow

i’m also going to make osh-tekks semi-aquatic, so they have webbed hands and feet in addition to the other general added traits

their tail has no fur (because drag) but instead have a wide-fanned tail to help them swim in the water (similar to an alligator’s tail but smooth and blue)

they don’t have gills, but they have great lung capacity (like a whale or something)

for centaurians, i don’t they would have the clawed hands because they have the powerful hind legs, but everything else applies (and they already have a tail so perfect)

this is all i could think of, and i have no idea if any of this makes sense?

but also, i have limited knowledge regarding the different societies of outworld outside of mk9-mk11 and mk1 (2023) (so like hotaru means nothing to me unfortunately)

i still like their designs in the games, but i just wish they were a bit more alien (give me the animal traits, GIVE ME THE ANIMAL TRAITS, I NEED THEM, I AJAKJHDAHKJAHKFJ)

we’ve seen in mkx and mk11 that they have huge animals of terrifying size and proportion, but edenians and everyone else still just look like weak, fragile humans?

like what, no freaking way

i know they have magic, but that seems like a practiced skill that grows with age

and before they advanced in society, growing to old age probably wasn’t all that common and so harnessing magic wasn’t all too common either until the current eras we see in gameplay

not to mention, shang tsung and quan chi need the help of shang tsung from a different timeline that has lived for centuries to catalyze their magical skills, and without titan shang tsung, they probably wouldn’t have attained the skill of magic they have until centuries later

some pictures for how i imagine it to be (you're gonna have to excuse my piss poor drawing skills and anatomy)

anyway, yeah, peace out

Moomin x JJBA AU - Intro post!

Hello!!!! I figured I should make a post about this, and probably some other aus too eventually…

(I’m gonna go ahead and put this under a cut cus it’ll be long, but even if you don’t care about the au I promise it’s not just words!!! I put silly drawings too!!!)

Alright! So this is an au where characters from jjba are like moomin characters! To clarify, they are still in their normal universe, with stands! (I may also do some spin offs in a no stands/ actually in moomin valley version of this au too!)

I’m calling this the “JOJOxter au” because all of the jojos are joxters :]

I’ll start with a list of each species + a brief explanation of traits / details!

(Note that I have made moomins / snorks roughly the same thing in this which is why there isn’t a section for moomins)

Joxters

Joxters are very cat like, in appearance and behavior. They tend to be very adventurous, though sometimes lazy by nature (though this is the general rule, there is of course exceptions to this!).

Physical traits can include: cat-like eyes (yellow sclera and cat pupils), retractable claws, sharp canine teeth, markings on the nose bridge, cat-like ears and tails, fur on various places of the body (hands, forearms, chest, legs, etc), and whiskers.

Mymbles

Mymbles are the most humanoid of the bunch. They can be anywhere from extremely short (like little my (from moomins) or diego (in my au), to extremely tall (like mymble mama or mista). Mymbles often have a love of chaos and general shenanigans. They are also known for having strong familial bonds. Mymbles are able to hibernate, and do so occasionally.

Physical traits can include: small horns with rounded ends, skinny tails, and sharp teeth.

Snufkins

Snufkin are a mix between Mymbles and joxters. They can show traits more similar to one or the other, be a perfect mix of the two, or even change from one to the other. As such a lot of their characteristics depend on the individual!

Physical traits can include: cat-like eyes (usually without the yellow sclera), tails, sharp teeth, pointy or claw-like nails, fur on various parts of the body, and whiskers.

Muddles

Muddles are generally known for being very emotional, or feeling one (or more) emotions very strongly. Usually anxiety or fear (moomin example is the muddler), but it can be any emotion(s). They often like to collect things, and get attached to or find comfort in their collection.

Physical traits can include: long floppy ears (like a rabbit’s), whiskers, long tails, fur on the legs, and large eyes.

Snorks

Snorks are very round looking creatures, known for being very soft! They are able to change the color of their fur based on their emotions. Snorks are known for being friendly or accommodating, but this is more due to general snork philosophy rather than a trait! They often have many hobbies, and are known to be very big on hibernating the winters away, though they don’t have to.

Physical traits can include: pointy ears, long tails with tufts of fur on the end, paw pads, and round faces

Here is a doodle page I did to decide how I want to draw each species:

[Image ID in alt text]

I just realized how long this is… yikes

Anyways! That’s basically the meat of it, so next is mostly just doodles!!!

Here’s bruno and jotaro! (Bruno is a snufkin and jotaro is a joxter)

[image ID in alt text]

Here’s drawings of diego and silver bullet I did:

[ID in alt text]

For context, this is how horses are drawn in the moomins (or at least *a* horse) and I thought it would be funny to draw them like that too!

So diego rides a normal sized horse in this, since having a small one would put him at a severe disadvantage in the race!

Here’s some miscellaneous drawings! (For reference fugo is a muddle, narancia and mista are mymbles, jolyne is a joxter, and FF is a snork!)

[Image ID in alt text]

In this au instead of FF being plankton, they’re a bunch of hattifatteners!

Alrighty!!! That’s all! I hope you enjoyed, even if you just skimmed everything :]

Please reblog, comment, or send me asks about this au if you have any questions!!!

[yupuffin]

So upset- I had Quay thoughts earlier and I went to study without writing them down :’)

I did wanna ask though- what animal is Quay based on??? I’ve been looking and didn’t find anything in your blog that was obvious.

Love his ears tho. Fluffy :3

Aw, man!! I hate it when that happens 😔 Obviously I'd be thrilled to hear them if you happen to recall them later, but regardless, I'm just flattered my little guy spends time in other people's heads! 😆

So there's not one specific animal Quay's traits are based on, though through the design process his features ended up fairly feline in nature -- namely, his ears are modeled after those of the caracal: long with a tuft on the end!

(image source)

Granted, for Quay, they point downwards in their relaxed position, so he gives off a more "shy" vibe by default than caracals with their perky ears. But his ears are very mobile, and you can tell a lot about his emotional state by watching them.

I haven't 100% finalized his full outfit design, so I'm not sure how prominent or visible, it would be, but, fun fact, he also has a tail! With white fur, same as his ears, and visually speaking it's modeled off a lion tail, so skinny with a little tuft at the end.

(image source)

But it's not quite as large as a lion's tail, so it'd probably reach the backs of his knees at the longest. Which means if he wears any sort of cape or long coat, as many Wuthering Waves characters do, you'd probably just get a quick peek at it any once in a while. Just a fun little design perk.

I'm debating the possibility of claiming that he's a dragon, albeit a furry one, just knowing the variety of physical forms different types of dragons can take, but right now it's just a hand-wavey excuse and I haven't worked out the details yet or whether I want to commit to it. 😆

[brownie-gives-cats]

hii again! i'd love another kittie. filling out my beastie ranks...

10 - Common A custom beastie, just for you! (at first I thought this roll was 100, but it was 10-0 on the d10's not a 00-0 for 100. Close though!)

Morningflake (they/them) is a long-furred pale grey rosetted tabby cat with dark blue eyes. Their fur is the pale blue-grey of shaded snow and their rosetted markings are only slightly darker, sparce and concealed in their long fur. The centers are almost indistinguishable from their base coat, only the open circles of stormcloud grey distinguishing them from a speckled or spotted tabby. Dark, steely grey freckles the back of their neck, their shoulders, their muzzle and nose, and the top of their tail, looking like dark flakes of ash. Their front toes are black at the tips. Their dark blue eyes have steely grey starbursts. They have a feathery tail and the backs of their paws are tufted with long fur, as is their chin. They have a round face with drooping brows.

Morningflake is a cat that follows the letter of the rules and does not believe any exceptions should be made to them. The Code is their morality: each rule was made for a reason, and while the Clan leader may be wise enough to mark exceptions, they believe a cat that tries to break the rules is almost certainly doing so for their own gain or their judgement is clouded by strong emotions, and neither of those are valid reasons to ignore the Code. Morningflake is stoic and stubborn, nearly impossible to shift once they've made a choice. They are fiercely loyal to their Clan, the Code, and their mate. They are a senior warrior who has turned down deputyship once before, as they are self-aware enough to know that they wouldn't take criticism well or be able to adapt as much as would be required to be a good deputy.
