I swear one day I'll use this blog again. Whenever my Viva Pinatas interest resurfaces
Here’s some quick drawings of Sky before their death. In their universe, scars and such are rare because many creatures simply use magic to restore themselves. Sky isn’t a fan, they consider the damage part of their “rugged good looks”. I think a lot of the creatures in their world agree ;).
*bonks my stupid head with yours* I love you
50 questions about Sky
No one asked, but here it is. Check under the cut:
Name: Sky Sweet(Viva Pinata Universe)

‘It fine! Not bothered! Be careful dangerous stuff at Nils’ His wings fluttered begins him as he started scribbling again before he glanced up again. His smile somehow becomes wider showing off fangs as he begins to wave excitedly to something behind Sky.
If they were to turn around they’d see Nil leaning on the wall at the far end of the hallway with an ‘eyebrow’ raised. There was no sound of their approach almost like they simply appeared there. Looks like Sky’s adventure is cut short.
Sky turned slowly, and upon seeing Nil their ears flattened to their mask, "Ah, uh, hey. I was just. Looking for the bathroom. And found your.... Friend."
Sky looked a little disappointed that they got caught so quickly. They didn't know anymore about Nil! Except that Nil could teleport. Or walk very quietly. Or something.
Wild Child(s)
Lionesse made her way through the woods, heading towards the mountain she had deemed a good place to explore. Despite trying to be more civil and interact with people, they were exhausting and she found Pinata more willing to interact with her. And she figured the mountains would be a place to find some interesting ones. Her pride of Roario had already chosen a place to stay, so she was free to explore and join her pride again. Now at the base of the mountain, she head a noise and turned around to find it. “Hello?” @ask-themallowerewolves

“It’s ok it’s ok, I want to help you,” Liz speaks softly to her as her eyes return to their normal brown. She had her ears pinned back in worry over the frightened and hurt child. She gives a gentle smile when Lionesse takes her hand, wincing a little at the blood.
Sighing she tried to tug the kid out of the thistles as gently as she could, “I’m sorry but I can’t really argue with that kiddo, it’d be stupid for anyone to go against her let alone a tiny thing like you. But you need medical help, can you walk?”
“I’ve done worse.” Lionesse admitted, “I can walk.”
She looked sheepish, pulling the hood of her cape over her head. She wiped away her tears, and seemed to berate herself over the incident. After a moment she seemed to regain her composure, despite the wounds she had endured.
“I’m fine. Really.” Lionesse lied, pretending as if her bloodied shoulder was no big deal.
Liz simply raised a disbelieving eyebrow. “I doubt your fine, I got just bit like ten times by the same person I know the damage she can do,” she says as she gestures to the passed out sour were. Her arms may have already nearly healed but that didn’t mean she didn’t know what it felt like and they just a kid!
“Come on if you don’t want to see a doctor at least let me help clean you up back at my place. It’s just down the ways and you really don’t want to deal with an infection.” She pointed over her shoulder with a thumb and a gentle smile. “I could try and fix up your suit too if you want? I patch my own clothes all the time” Her smile turned into a geimace as she looked down at her shredded sleeves, “er guess I’ll be patching mine up as well anyways.”
“I don’t have any money. I can’t pay you.” Lionesse said. She had learned that saying that quite a few people would stray away from helping her. She didn’t protest as Liz led her out of the bramble of weeds, holding her shoulder and looking at the missing claw on her paws.
“Pay me?!” She seemed taken aback by the mere thought, “you’re hurt, and a kid! I don’t need you to pay me back for anything.” Liz wasn’t about to leave some kid to bleed out in some weeds, and she knew from experience that Hemlock could do some damage.
Shaking her head she led Lionesse out of the weed patch before stopping her, “hold on a quick sec.” she stuck two fingers in her mouth and gave a sharp whistle. Howls followed after it. “Alright let’s get going, her pack’ll be picking her up. I’ll call a weedling while we walk, don’t want an infestation to start here.” She begins to walk towards her garden.
Lionesse followed behind Liz, holding her shoulder. She looked around, wanting to run back into the forest and hide from the damage she’d help cause.
They soon make it to Liz’s garden, her house on the other side of it. She’d been keeping an eye on the child as they walked to make sure she didn’t collapse on the way. As they enter the garden a few of her mallowolves come to investigate the stranger and whines at the scent of blood. “Back off everyone no crowding.” She kept them from surrounding Lionesse in their curiosity as they made their way to the building.
Lionesse flinched as the mallowolves crowded her. It seemed more often than not canines and felines never mixed, mallowolves and Roarios being one of them.
“They’re not gonna hurt me, right?” Lionesse asked, keeping close to Liz, “I don’t like dogs.”
“Sorry, sorry. No they won’t hurt you I have them all well trained,” she gave a sharp whistle, “Bed time everyone. Go on shoo.” The hounds slowly left to go into their den for the day, glancing back occasionally.
“Sorry again they get real curious about visitors and they haven’t seen many roarios so your coat and scent might have confused them a bit,” she led her to the house on the edge of the garden’s chalk line. Liz unlocks the door and sits Lionesse on a chair in a small kitchen. “Alright I gotta go get the stuff to clean up your wounds, will you be fine waiting here for a moment.”
"Yeah, I'll be fine." Lionesse said, pulling her hand away and seeing how her shoulder looked, "Probably."
As Liz went off to get her stuff, Lionesse looked around the room.
"let me play devil's advocate," Sky says. You worry they're about to pull some sort of dumb racist or homophobic or some bullshit.
"Hell is actually pretty alright," Sky says, "It's really warm but if you're a demon it's fine. The Devils have the right idea.
You feel confused.

In Sky’s bare the the power felt stronger, it would’ve burned a normal person. Light reflected in millions of ways in the stone giving it a glittery appearance and almost like little bolts of electricity wer stuck inside of the small stone. The rock of course gave no answer.
Sky was quite interested in the stone, but they knew if such a thing went missing Nil would probably summon Sky again..or question them.. and that was not something Sky wanted, so they replaced the stone on the shelf, and headed back down the hall. This time, they spotted the covered mirror.
Sky attempted to remember any sorts of superstitions surrounding covered mirrors. Mourning? Ghosts? Either way, Sky decided to lift up the covering slightly to look at the mirror.
Peeking at a corner of the mirror Sky would see what looked like the inside of a house but not the one they were currently in. Was it even a mirror if it didn’t show a reflection? Either way it was shaped like a mirror but showed the wrong image.
Sky tried to put their paw through the mirror, a portal of some sort? Sky had seen this sort of magic before, but it was in their original universe. If the mirror allowed entry, Sky walked through it. If not, Sky made another frustrated noise and went to find more places to snoop around.
It was not a portal and Sky’s hand rested on it normally. However a moment after they turned around to plan their next move a faint tapping could be heard from the mirror.
Sky jumped, tail bristling. They turned back to the mirror and peered into it. Was there something behind on the other side?
It was a person but not Nil. He was small with a bright purple and pink jacket and top hat. Large butterfly like wings came out his back and waved gently back and forth. He gives sky a large fanged smile and waves excitedly through the mirror. They begin to sign quickly, ‘Hi! I’ve never seen you before! Who are you?’
Sky watched their hand movements curiously, they had a form of sign language in their world but it was nothing like this. They understood “hi” and that was about it.
Sky waved, tilting their head. Strange little person.
“Can you hear me?” They asked quietly.
He nods excitedly before firing more rapids signs at them not realizing they couldn’t understand him. He seemed quite happy to be talking with someone new despite it being the dead of night and was bouncing slightly on his feet.
Sky shook their head and whispered, “I can’t speak hands I’m afraid. Do you have a piece of paper or something?”
Sky glanced around the room, making Nil wasn’t sneaking up behind them or something.
“What’s your name?”
He deflated a second before peeking up again and nodding rapidly. He rushes somewhere the mirror doesn’t show and there’s a faint sound of things being shuffled.
The hallway was still clear and sounds of work occasionally drifted down to Sky.
The colorful boy returns to the mirror with a smile and holds up a notepad with the word ‘smiledip’ written in a messy scrawl. He turns it around after a moment and begins writing. He flips it again to show that underneath he wrote, ‘who r u?’
“Smiledip? Hm. I’m Sky. Are you trapped in the mirror? Or is this like one of those alternate dimension things.” Sky asked quietly, looking over the frame of the mirror. And interesting magic item, either way.
He shakes his head before scribbling on his notepad again, ‘like a alert. Can talk with ech other.”
The frame of the mirror is a light silver with small runes carved into it, small precious stones line the top.
Smiledip flips the paper again to show more writing, ‘y r u here?’ He’s quite curious about this new stranger.
"I'm a guest of Nil's. Sort of just looking around. Sorry if I bothered you." Sky took interest in the runes, but unable to read them, instead looked over Smiledip again. Strange creature, Sky considered, but at least they weren't trying to get Sky in trouble. Probably.

Sky noticed that Hal’s clothes were… Also quite a mess. And Sky was nearly a foot shorter and about 100lbs less muscle. Sky probably had some clothes somewhere…. Maybe.
“Actually, wait here.” Sky said, getting off the floor to go search for clothes, taking Hal’s pile of dirty clothes with them. Seriously? How could somebody live like that? Sky felt slightly bad for the man, living in the woods with dirty clothes and never taking a good bath? Sounded like torture.
After some searching Sky found some old clothes Leafos had gave them, likely to be used as Piñata bedding. Some holes in the shirt and pants but they looked roughly Hal’s size. Where did he find people with clothes the right size? Sky tossed the dirty ones into a pile Sky had accumulated of mostly their own PJs. Laundry day tomorrow it seemed.
“Alright, clean clothes. I just hope they fit.” Sky said, walking back into the bathroom.
He watched him leave, fighting back the urge to grumble about being left alone. He wasn’t exactly needy and was perfectly fine being a lone wolf, but this was a new environment and Sky’s kindess drew him to them. Hal turned his attention to the products that were displayed all neatly on a nearby shelf.
The man growled something in animalistic speak to himself as he picked up a bar of pale soap and looked it over. Warily he sniffed it. Sky said moozipan soap, didn’t they? Well, it smelled like milk. He dabbed his tongue at it to taste– Mistake! Mistake!
With a hiss he dropped it like a hot coal and it disappeared under the bubbles of the bath. Never again. Note to self: Don’t eat soap even if it smells good.
Sky put the clothes on the sink and kneeled beside the tub. They had scented soap, but Hal had said he didn’t like it, and all they had was bar soap… Where was it?
“Hey did you like, drop the bar of soap here?” Sky pointed out where it had been, “I sort of need it to clean you up.”
Hal glanced up as Sky reentered with a curious tilt of his head. Oh! Right. He dug around in the water before pulling out the bar with a flourish, splashing water messily. His nails were dug into it so that he wouldn’t drop it– which worked a bit too well as he now couldn’t drop it into Sky’s open palm.
He shook his hand a few times until the now semi-squashed bar flopped sadly into their palm. Oops. “Uh… Thank Sky?”
Sky rolled up their sleeves and took the bar of soap. At this point, Sky was sure even Sherbet would have lost their mind. Patience and charity and all that.
“Alright. Let’s get the stuff out of your hair first. I could probably make a tree out of all the leaf pieces.” Sky said, carefully pouring water over Hal’s head and starting to wash it, avoid the cut.
The feral man grumbled but allowed it, shutting his eyes tightly to avoid getting anything in them. He entertained himself by looking over the bottles that lined the shelf. He recognized some of those words at least. He used to read a lot as a youngling…
Hal glanced down as leaves, sticks, and god knows what forest litter fell into the already dirtying water. Oh hey! There’s that bug he lost! Hal held up the shiny, non-pinata, beetle to Sky. “Gift?”
Sky looked mildly yucked by how gross Hal’s hair was, seriously? A bug? They had to admit though, the beetle was at least nice to look at.
“For me? Or a gift someone gave you?” Sky asked, grabbing a hairbrush to help clean Hal’s hair.
“You,” he insisted, shoving it at Sky as if to put it in their hair too. Realizing most of their hair was hidden by their mask however, he settled with putting it on top of their mask. It clung there, wriggling it’s antenne. It was still alive in there…?
Hal yelped as the hairbrush tugged at the deep tangles. His dull brown hair reached his lower back at this length and was a real mess. At least it was naturally on the thinner, easier to brush side. The feral man’s patience was starting to run out in typical, childish fashion. Growling inhumanly to himself, he started to take bottles off the shelves and look over them to keep himself from attacking Sky with the damned brush.
Sky patiently accepted the fact that now they had a beetle in their hair. Sky could likely take about any sort of non-harmful harassment like a saint, a beetle was nothing. The only sign Sky was frustrated was the twitching of their tail. Hal’s hair was awful, and Sky cringed internally. How could someone let it get this bad?!
“Sorry, I know this sucks. But you’ve got half the forest in your hair.” Sky said, “When I’m done you can get rinsed off and get clean clothes on. When was the last time you had clean clothes?”
Hal let out a whine, cringing as his hair was tugged on more. “Uh…. Many moons,” he replied. To his credit he blushed and sunk more into the water. “Wash clothes whenever take bath.” Which was whenever it rained and he felt like standing out in it.
It was a wonder the feral man didn’t stink more.
Sky sighed, feeling a little bad for Hal.
“There. That’s probably as clean as I’m gonna get you.” Sky said, putting the brush into the sink and standing, “I’ve gotta rinse you off and you’ll be good to go.”
Sky grabbed the shower head and turned it on, the water was cold as Sky tried to adjust it.
Hal felt… a little itchy. Naked almost. Well besides being mostly naked, he felt like a geckie that’d just shed it’s skin. Very smooth. Very weird. He scratched lightly at the scars that crisscrossed his chest. “Weird…”
He glanced up at the sound of the tap squeaking, onto to shut his eyes tightly as cold water suddenly cascaded over him. “AUGH!” he roared as if he were struck, twisting away from the spray. He attempted to stand up, only to slip in the water and go faceplanting into the side of the tub.
With a defeated whine he sat there, still faceplanted into the porcelion, and just let the coldness wash over him. Today was certainly not his day.
“I’m sorry!” Sky helped Hal to his feet, “I’m sorry, are you alright?”
The water warmed up slightly, though not as warm as the bath was. Sky tried to quickly rinse Hal off, Sky now also wet from the slight splash and helping Hal up. Sky said some sort of curse, not unlike “Jesus Christ” as they turned off the shower and grabbed Hal’s towel.
“I didn’t expect it to be that cold, here, dry off, looks like I have to go dry off too.” Sky said, wringing out the water from their shirt.
Hal just nodded and stood up sheepishly. He took the towel and quickly dried off as the cold got to him quickly now that he was missing quite a few layers. Man, it’d take years for him to rebuild his “protective coat” as one might call it (though most would call it disgusting).
He did have enough consiteration for Sky to start drying them off too with the dry parts of the towel. The beastman gave a short cough and rubbed his throat. Ugh…. so much talking was a pain.
Sky laughed a little at Hal’s insistence on sharing. Sky picked the beetle out of their hair and held it in their hand, unsure what to do with it.
“You get dressed, I’ll change. Would you like something to drink? Water?”
Hal nodded, giving a tired grin. He managed to wrestle his way into the clothes. Sniffing at the faint scent of Sky, the man made his way back to the loungeroom to give Sky some privacy. He didn’t get why human-creatures preferred to be alone when getting clean, but whatever.
What to do while Sky was busy? He paused as he passed by a room, peering in curiously. Smelled like Sky… Bedroom? Glancing back to see if the demon was watching, he slowly crept in to poke around.
Downstairs was a the bathroom, a closet(mostly empty), a kitchen, the living room, and a small laundry room. The laundry room was... Much less clean then one would expect. Dirty clothes are piled by the washing machine, on the other side clean clothes are piled in baskets by the dryer.
The kitchen was plain and almost as spotless as the bathroom. The fridge was nearly empty, did Sky even eat? They still had plates, bowls, cups, as well as animal bowls.
Some thoughts on Sky while I'm thinking about them:
Sky's name is Sky Sweet. Sweet is a family name, and they don't have a middle name yet I don't think..I'll figure it out probably
In their original world, it's v peaceful and everything is pretty nice. A common form of entertainment is Bloodsport. Sort of like WWE but if it was animals just beating the heck out of each other. Sky was an extremely famous Catfighter thanks to their bloodline.
Sky is grandchild to Midnight, The Cat's Devil. The devils in their world are switched out every couple hundred years. Midnight reigns for over 1000 and corrupts Heaven. Sky eventually kills Midnight and takes over until another devil is found.
On that note, being the child of the devil means nothing. Creatures are related to all sorts of things. You could say "I'm the son of Anubis" and someone would b like "Yeah my mom's an angel what about it??"
Afterlife in their world is a guarantee, whatever you believe in you will end up there. I'm not an expert on such things so I leave most of it up for interpretation besides my versions of Heaven/Hell/Purgatory.
Sky often mentions "Max's Light", "Azuhal" and "Mari". Max is the current Cat's God, Azuhal is the first cat angel sent to earth, and Mari was the first demon sent to earth.
As a demon, Sky's sin was Wrath. Given they were immortal(class 6), Midnight's grandchild, and quite strong and famous, they were gifted demonhood instead of damnation. Their job was to hunt down demons gone rogue and return them to be re-controlled. Basically a demon afterlife assassin because they did jobs for other deities.
Angels can fall but demons can't rise. Sherbet is technically a fallen angel but is still an angel because in order to become a demon you must have your soul taken and put back into the world as a demon. That just can't happen with Infinite Immortals.
Speaking of Immortals. There's 10 classes and Infinates. Classes 1-4 are pretty common, roughly 1/200. Classes 5-9 are much less common at 1/5000. There's only ever enough class 10s to fill each spot for each deity. If a deity is going to be replaced, they give up their class 10 to be given to a new soul. The new class 10 will then live their life and it will decide their new position. A sort of predestination, if you will.
Infinate Immortals are completely accidental and are caused by an extremely specific set of circumstances. 1) The creature must be in an "open" afterlife. Ex: purgatory. 2) Your soul must be intangible at the time(so no demon forms or angel forms) 3) you must then be taken from your afterlife and out into a form that is simply a soul-altering infection(Ex: Darkness) 4) You must find your original body or part of it in this form. Your soul will reattach itself BUT with the physical soul disease your soul is now tied to your body. Basically now you a) can't die and b) your soul can't be wiped clean and sent to another body at some point. You're just stuck now man sorry. Shapeshifting and universe traveling and such comes after your first death in this form. Now you'll likely be sent to an afterlife to become whatever it is you'll become and you'll be "erased" from the universe bc You're Suppose To Be Dead But You're Not, so it just sort of ignores you. God-mode activated but like... You can basically only shapeshift and travel between universes.

Hal felt… a little itchy. Naked almost. Well besides being mostly naked, he felt like a geckie that’d just shed it’s skin. Very smooth. Very weird. He scratched lightly at the scars that crisscrossed his chest. “Weird…”
He glanced up at the sound of the tap squeaking, onto to shut his eyes tightly as cold water suddenly cascaded over him. “AUGH!” he roared as if he were struck, twisting away from the spray. He attempted to stand up, only to slip in the water and go faceplanting into the side of the tub.
With a defeated whine he sat there, still faceplanted into the porcelion, and just let the coldness wash over him. Today was certainly not his day.
“I’m sorry!” Sky helped Hal to his feet, “I’m sorry, are you alright?”
The water warmed up slightly, though not as warm as the bath was. Sky tried to quickly rinse Hal off, Sky now also wet from the slight splash and helping Hal up. Sky said some sort of curse, not unlike “Jesus Christ” as they turned off the shower and grabbed Hal’s towel.
“I didn’t expect it to be that cold, here, dry off, looks like I have to go dry off too.” Sky said, wringing out the water from their shirt.
Hal just nodded and stood up sheepishly. He took the towel and quickly dried off as the cold got to him quickly now that he was missing quite a few layers. Man, it’d take years for him to rebuild his “protective coat” as one might call it (though most would call it disgusting).
He did have enough consiteration for Sky to start drying them off too with the dry parts of the towel. The beastman gave a short cough and rubbed his throat. Ugh…. so much talking was a pain.
Sky laughed a little at Hal's insistence on sharing. Sky picked the beetle out of their hair and held it in their hand, unsure what to do with it.
"You get dressed, I'll change. Would you like something to drink? Water?"
Burn it to the Ground

Sky noticed that Hal’s clothes were… Also quite a mess. And Sky was nearly a foot shorter and about 100lbs less muscle. Sky probably had some clothes somewhere…. Maybe.
“Actually, wait here.” Sky said, getting off the floor to go search for clothes, taking Hal’s pile of dirty clothes with them. Seriously? How could somebody live like that? Sky felt slightly bad for the man, living in the woods with dirty clothes and never taking a good bath? Sounded like torture.
After some searching Sky found some old clothes Leafos had gave them, likely to be used as Piñata bedding. Some holes in the shirt and pants but they looked roughly Hal’s size. Where did he find people with clothes the right size? Sky tossed the dirty ones into a pile Sky had accumulated of mostly their own PJs. Laundry day tomorrow it seemed.
“Alright, clean clothes. I just hope they fit.” Sky said, walking back into the bathroom.
He watched him leave, fighting back the urge to grumble about being left alone. He wasn’t exactly needy and was perfectly fine being a lone wolf, but this was a new environment and Sky’s kindess drew him to them. Hal turned his attention to the products that were displayed all neatly on a nearby shelf.
The man growled something in animalistic speak to himself as he picked up a bar of pale soap and looked it over. Warily he sniffed it. Sky said moozipan soap, didn’t they? Well, it smelled like milk. He dabbed his tongue at it to taste– Mistake! Mistake!
With a hiss he dropped it like a hot coal and it disappeared under the bubbles of the bath. Never again. Note to self: Don’t eat soap even if it smells good.
Sky put the clothes on the sink and kneeled beside the tub. They had scented soap, but Hal had said he didn’t like it, and all they had was bar soap… Where was it?
“Hey did you like, drop the bar of soap here?” Sky pointed out where it had been, “I sort of need it to clean you up.”
Hal glanced up as Sky reentered with a curious tilt of his head. Oh! Right. He dug around in the water before pulling out the bar with a flourish, splashing water messily. His nails were dug into it so that he wouldn’t drop it– which worked a bit too well as he now couldn’t drop it into Sky’s open palm.
He shook his hand a few times until the now semi-squashed bar flopped sadly into their palm. Oops. “Uh… Thank Sky?”
Sky rolled up their sleeves and took the bar of soap. At this point, Sky was sure even Sherbet would have lost their mind. Patience and charity and all that.
“Alright. Let’s get the stuff out of your hair first. I could probably make a tree out of all the leaf pieces.” Sky said, carefully pouring water over Hal’s head and starting to wash it, avoid the cut.
The feral man grumbled but allowed it, shutting his eyes tightly to avoid getting anything in them. He entertained himself by looking over the bottles that lined the shelf. He recognized some of those words at least. He used to read a lot as a youngling…
Hal glanced down as leaves, sticks, and god knows what forest litter fell into the already dirtying water. Oh hey! There’s that bug he lost! Hal held up the shiny, non-pinata, beetle to Sky. “Gift?”
Sky looked mildly yucked by how gross Hal’s hair was, seriously? A bug? They had to admit though, the beetle was at least nice to look at.
“For me? Or a gift someone gave you?” Sky asked, grabbing a hairbrush to help clean Hal’s hair.
“You,” he insisted, shoving it at Sky as if to put it in their hair too. Realizing most of their hair was hidden by their mask however, he settled with putting it on top of their mask. It clung there, wriggling it’s antenne. It was still alive in there…?
Hal yelped as the hairbrush tugged at the deep tangles. His dull brown hair reached his lower back at this length and was a real mess. At least it was naturally on the thinner, easier to brush side. The feral man’s patience was starting to run out in typical, childish fashion. Growling inhumanly to himself, he started to take bottles off the shelves and look over them to keep himself from attacking Sky with the damned brush.
Sky patiently accepted the fact that now they had a beetle in their hair. Sky could likely take about any sort of non-harmful harassment like a saint, a beetle was nothing. The only sign Sky was frustrated was the twitching of their tail. Hal’s hair was awful, and Sky cringed internally. How could someone let it get this bad?!
“Sorry, I know this sucks. But you’ve got half the forest in your hair.” Sky said, “When I’m done you can get rinsed off and get clean clothes on. When was the last time you had clean clothes?”
Hal let out a whine, cringing as his hair was tugged on more. “Uh…. Many moons,” he replied. To his credit he blushed and sunk more into the water. “Wash clothes whenever take bath.” Which was whenever it rained and he felt like standing out in it.
It was a wonder the feral man didn’t stink more.
Sky sighed, feeling a little bad for Hal.
“There. That’s probably as clean as I’m gonna get you.” Sky said, putting the brush into the sink and standing, “I’ve gotta rinse you off and you’ll be good to go.”
