Coming up with good au ideas that I will never write but having suuch good ideas that I can't transplant as well. The viiibes.

[bluebunnysart]

You can absolutely write a small thing for this if you want to!!! I was also thinking of writing something for it (converting it to text so I can think everything through more clearly lol) and the fact that you thought about the cat AU and want to make stuff for it.... That's soo sooo cool! If you wrote something for yourself and I never saw it, that would've been just another Tuesday, but if you ever wanted to share what you wrote, I'd be soooo down! That's super exciting fr fr. Again, seeing that my little cat doodles made someone think makes me really happy because I love them just as much. xD

Her "having" goggles is such a good idea... I actually adore it when stories that are based on canon find ways to connect back to canon, and her goggles being destroyed or Haruno giving her goggles... Those are both suuch good ideas!! My ideas of Raimon/Matataki-cat range from "pure hotblooded stray, absolutely loathes all things human" (and thus would never touch goggles with a ten foot pole, which she would also avoid because they're made by humans) to "used to be domestic, is now completely disillusioned and disgusted by everything human and avoids them" (so she'd even have a moment where she wakes up in Haruno-cat's house and immediately panics and has a line like "I thought I escaped, why am I back").

You're soo right about how there are so many possibilities too! For example, Yu-cat would naturally be an alien cat, but cats have difficulty building rockets because rockets were made with human hands. xD My idea for Umika and Yu would be another variation on the wild x domestic idea. I imagined Umika-cat is 100% sheltered and maybe never ventured out of her home before, but she longs to explore the world and is maybe lonely (because Hona, her sister, has been turned into a human by me to justify Hona taking care of her + I think it'd be cute). Umika-cat loves alien movies and wants to reach the far depths of the world or something and Yu-cat (who's harder to explain) suddenly appears and they start communicating through the window or something. I haven't actually thought about how I wanna deal with Umiyu and Mataharu interactions, but it's fun imagining them as cats just for the fun of it, haha. xD Mataharu I was mostly gonna keep separate since Umiyu is its whole convoluted own thing, but I just wanted to say I thought about Umiyu too (as they're my favorite ship) and I'm glad you thought a bit about them as well!

Raimon-cat is absolutely too proud to interact with Haruno-cat normally at first and the only reason she doesn't immediately run is because she's too injured to be able to fend for herself for a while and she's also definitely got beef with other cats LOL. The song How Lovely which I think fits their dynamic perfectly has a line that goes "I'm not supposed to feel this way / I'm the hunter, she's the prey" and that's absolutely how Matataki initially reacts before (as you guessed it) warming up to Haruno significantly and seeing her more positively/less as someone to look down on or be prejudiced against. tldr; Raimon-cat DOES become more gentle and nice to her and that's the part I love developing the most lol. She still hides it behind being a tsundere (she'll follow Haruno-cat outside sometimes to protect her but she'll claim she's there for some other reason. Like instead of "I'll keep you safe", it's more "you're cooked if you're wandering around at this time of night so I guess I have no choice but to come along since it would disadvantage me and not be fun for me, practically speaking, if something happened to you"). Of course Matataki-cat is kind at heart and their living situation helps explore that for real. c:

As for the reason why Matataki-cat shows up in Haruno's yard in the first place (bleeding out), I was thinking a gang of cats used Matataki for something (her knowledge) and then tried to get rid of her ('cuz they're jerks) and Matataki fought back. She leaves them with scars and second thoughts about challenging her again, but they also totally ganged up on her (like six on one or something high like that) and she obviously sustained a lot of injuries in the process. Haruno-cat and Matataki-cat actually knew each other before this (they knew of each other's existence but Matataki-cat would never return Haruno-cat's greetings or acknowledge her), but there might be something shippy about how Matataki-cat knows she can't go much further and needs to go somewhere safe and her paws just automatically take her to where Haruno-cat is without even thinking about it.

It seems I've written a lot (because this cat AU lives rent-free in my mind) but once again, I'm really glad you also thought about it and liked it! That's so based and hype lol. I'm always down to talk more about the cat AU and draw for it, and you're totally welcome to take these ideas and do whatever with them, with my knowledge or without (though I'd love to see what you come up with).

Your support is soo soo cool! Thanks a bunch! :D Now I'm more likely to post more of the cats even though I was still gonna keep going down this rabbit hole anyway. I'm really glad you like it, for real! ^^

After a bunch of months, I'm posting my art here again. Hoshikuzu Telepath, Raimon and Haruno-inspired cats! More info under the read more:

They're inspired by them, but they'll still be called those names even though they're not one-to-one. White bg intentional!

The idea is their personalities are the same but the setting/details are different bc I decided to go all the way. For example, (this) Raimon-cat is an actual stray cat who does everything on her own. Part of her ear is torn (from fights), she hunts, and she's MORE violent/wild.

I get to make stuff up as I please, so Haruno-cat is a house cat who basically comes across an injured (bleeding to death) Raimon and takes care of her (where she lives in a cozy home with her owner). Raimon doesn't care for house cats but she's forced to stay as she recovers.

That's the setting and it's one of those "tough one softens up after being shown kindness for the first time" stories. The story is about their daily life and interactions as Raimon recovers from her injuries. Backstory and personalities are revealed and they fall in love

It's fanfiction-tier but it's fun. I'm gonna draw all this in my sketchbook now but I might digitalize it or share pictures if I keep going with it xD I just wanted to draw them with their base colors though. Even I don't know what the inside of the house should look like

I'll brush up on cat anatomy more, but anyway

Other details: Haruno's collar doesn't have a tag because it's on the inside/behind the front. So the idea is you lift it and see name/details/etc. on the inside of it. There are no accessories; all stripes/etc are markings
