Sky Dwellers

A cult of cats who are way too much of visual learners.

Cats who watched and learned a little too much

Hallo! Please call me Ace, Vortex, Eclipse, Jester, or Viima!

I am the writer of this book, Sky Dwellers, and am excited to see it when it's written!

Sky Dwelling is being posted on Wattpad and on a03.

My main Tumbr is @fictionkin-of-man.

Header fanart made by @everyarcatonce, I must thank them again for making that art.

Sky Dwelling also has a few parts that are partially based on @jumalanpelko, great cat cult comic maker and would definitely recommend reading!

Sky Dwellers may not be posted to that often, also I am still in its planning phase. Though I will post a link here every time I add a new chapter.

Warnings

I have not started writing yet and therefore do not have warnings yet, but when I do I will add them here.

Though I do not and probably never will understand how to fully use Tumblr.

WHERE TO PUT FANART/OCS ECT

Y'all should I try to start making Sky Dwellers again soon?

I may change it to be more Juma inspired honestly, as in there's more cultish vibes and everything.

Though, if I start it again, should I change all the lore or should I keep i?

Remake lore

Keep all lore

Just say what parts you like about it in the comments and I'll keep them.

Skycats are the most protected by Him due to being Their messenger, and He is kindest to the Skycats. Though He is a quite kind god to them all, Skycat or Former Skycat or not.

He sometimes is called It by some cats that don't believe as much but it's quite rare in the cult.

There's a sort of ceremony in the same field they lay the dead in for when the former Skycat steps down from being Skycat, where the Skycat gets their name and a new Skycat is made.

You're able to choose to be Skycat and Skycat gets to make most of the decisions, though is heavily punished if They had said something and the Skycat said something else, but other than the things that He specifically says Skycat mostly gets to decide whatever they want.

Though there is also a sort of system where they could vote out the current Skycat for another one.

Also mates exist in this cult, though it's semi-rare and normally split up after a short time. The cats who stay together either only stay because they want to have kits with each other or the ones who stay together for the longest are some kind of gay/lesbian couple.

Homophobia doesn't exist here too, except if they're from the outside and if they're homophobic then they normally would be part of a Ritual since He really doesn't like homophobia either.

Also He gets a say who gets to be Skycat and for some reason He usually picks some kind of genderqueer/queer in general cat. No cats know why, He just likes them as Their messenger.

Queer cats are highly looked upon as well also, most couples being queer and just having agreements with other families for the sake of kits or something if they want to have kits and then normally those two families would form like a single big family with multiple moms and dads and any other gender parents being for each kit.

As you can see, this cult is kind of utopian, except for the rituals and such. Planning on having something else added sometime when I get an idea so that it's like they have some kind of real conflict. Would love to hear some feedback if there's anyone viewing this. Probably should make this somewhat less utopian because it's a cat cult but yeah.

Random picture of me and father figure after we got told we look like Monokuma from Danganronpa

White cat is me, cat is important, but I will not state who the cat is yet. People who see this get to guess!

Skycats and Sacrifices

Skycats

Skycats aren't completely based on Suncats, I may base this sort of on Juma, but they are not the same.

Skycats are chosen through a sort of ceremony, yes, but they live much MUCH longer lives than Suncats, and are able to step down whatever. They're probably more like Medicine Cats in Warriors than a Suncat in Jumalanpelko.

Skycats deal with signs from the Cat of the Sky (also known as Him or Them, Cat of the Sky's pronouns are He/They and has to be capitalized like Hers is in Juma). Speaking for Them and such, they are also allowed to and fully able to have kittens also, toms or she-cats.

Sacrifices

There are two different types of sacrifices in Sky Dwellers, the dead and the rituals.

Rituals are held in a special place, the highest place in the human ruins the cats live in, which also used to be used as a temple for the humans when they were alive. They climb stairs to the top level and lay a sacrifice that they'd killed before the cat's normal time at the top and then leave it there. They think that it's important to do that to please Him enough to not end up killing more than one cat Himself, or to keep disasters away. They don't do this often, and all the higher ranked cats vote on a cat to kill for this.

The other type is when cats die naturally. All cats die from old age in the ruins, and when they're dead the cats closest to the dead cat(s) take the body to a special grassy area with nothing at all but grass and flowers. They do this to let Them take the cats' souls up to His domain. It's not a high spire like their rituals but it's open to the sky and they believe it's easily able to be used as an area for souls to be sent away.

I have made the main character. They will be known as Skycat in the story mostly but out of the story their real name would be Himmel (meaning sky or heaven in German).

His pronouns are he/h1/it/they/sky, and if you have any problems with the pronouns' full sets feel free to ask! If you have any problems with cats using neo/xeno pronouns I must ask you to kindly not comment on that as a neopronouns/xenopronouns user myself!

[skydwellingcatcult]

Okay so basic lore I got so far is that the cats are like living in a world without humans but they used to have humans and those humans they had were in a sort of cult that put their dead on a sort of pillar to feed their souls to their sort of god. The cats watched this happen and gradually began doing this with their own dead and for the last few humans that died off.

I may also do a sort of Skycat (sort of inspired by @jumalanpelko so credits to them for that idea, please tell me if that’s too much inspired and I can take it out of the lore) and such.

I don’t know if this would be a tragedy or not so far so don’t ask yet.

When I start posting this book, it will be on my Wattpad.
