Oh, this is so stinking cute! It’s just perfect! I love all the little character notes, like Dipp being a little enabler to Lalala’s whole... thing.

i’m finally getting to post one of my new illustrations! this is actually a redraw of an old katamari print that I still liked the concept of. but the old drawing was too muddy and so I slapped the rainbow into this one

Ope, forgot I didn't post this one in the morning, my bad.

I did the thing again where I wrote most of it but scrapped everything last-minute to redo it entirely. still, I think I prefer this iteration. I was focusing too much on trying to make an excuse plot that it didn't feel super fun. I'd rather have something short but that I enjoyed making rather than something long that drags.

In my continued efforts tossing in as many fandoms as possible for funsies, today I decided to get weirder and make a little something for Katamari. I like the thought of the cousins being like little space Borrowers, curious about human trinkets.

-

Earth things were supposed to stay on earth. Every once in a while, some stray piece of junk off of a katamari got stranded in the Princedom, or a cousin accidentally brought something back with them unintentionally. Honest! It was totally just a mistake, Your Majesty, just slipped the mind, forgot about it altogether! No harm done, right?

The King of all Cosmos was powerful, but not omniscient. If he was, he would have found out about their little ring of trade a lot sooner. The curiously childlike cousins gathered all manner of miscellanea piece by piece. Human snacks, knickknacks, clothing that would never fit any of them, whatever little trinkets and curiosities caught their eyes at the moment. Cousins traded things with one another, or brought them back as special gifts for them. It was an open secret among the princedom, fully known, but unspoken

They tried to be as subtle with deliveries as they were with trade. Boxes left in unassuming locations, earth trinkets bundled in with mundane supplies. If you knew who to ask, it didn’t take long to arrive. Likewise, if you knew what other cousins desired, it was easy to coax out a good deal, or a favor for swapping chores.

Nik would do just about anything for earth’s quirky little snacks, to nobody’s surprise. He’d spin yarns about how delicious the treats were, and how much he missed them when he had to return home. He could eat as much as he wanted while on earth, but the moment he left, all those alien delights were beyond reach…unless someone was willing to pocket a snack or two while out rolling.

Beyond snapped up whatever animal prints he could get his paws on. Trying to bring back living animals to the princedom was an awful idea- even if it didn’t try to run off and accidentally alert the king in the process, who was to say they could be cared for properly out in space? He filled the void with cat-faced mugs and portraits of sea life. Rumor had it that he’d even made an improvised carpet from a zebra-patterned sock.

Marcy was determined to learn everything possible about earth fashion. She snuck magazines and style posters into her back pockets every time she was sent to roll. Around her, actual articles of earth clothing were near-priceless. The girl would all but trip over herself to trade for whatever shiny brooches or beads or satiny gloves were snuck back. Cousins traded with cousins, but if Marcy spotted something fashionable, she would trade with anyone.

Nobody traded with Opeo. Not out of any malice, but because Opeo had nothing to trade. He was a feeble little thing, hardly able to roll up katamaris normally, let alone sneak anything back. The weight of it would probably sprain something. And what would he trade that he didn’t already have? Medical equipment? Goodness knew that if he did, he’d come down with some illness that required it. Opeo wasn’t a trader.

Instead, he was very familiar with finding boxes around the princedom with his name on it.

He flustered every time he saw it. It didn’t seem fair that he was treated differently from the others…but still, he picked it up and brought it home. Any embarrassment gave way to delight as he cut the box open and got to work snuggling whatever was inside of it.

Opeo kept a collection of all kinds of earth toys. Mostly soft ones. He said they were nice to cuddle with, and he kept them in his bed when he felt too sick to get up. The shelves in his room were lined with all sorts of plush bears and rabbits and kittens. Another shelf was filled with dolls of all shapes and sizes and colors, sometimes with little outfits that could be changed as he liked. Some of them even made noise when he squeezed them.

His cousins didn’t visit him often. Some were too busy, and others were afraid of getting sick from him. Whenever they did stop by, though, he was happy to share his earth treasures with them. That was something they’d learned from watching humans, too. Making up silly stories, pretending the animals lived in a house all together, and sending them on little adventures. Opeo never ran out of ways to play.
