More silly art made with @xnackery027's Domesticated DCA AU in mind.
Nothing worse than someone pranking ya by grabbing your foot from under the bed!
Might be a sign the hides provided ain't good enough for your Moon, or that it's under stimulated in general. A bored Moon can become quite mischievous.
Enjoy

Do you know what the Sun kissing behavior is?
I have two suns who are housed together. One is an older model, I think these guys ran for like a year but got discontinued but I don’t remember the exact model. But the other one is a newer model, the people I got them from said it was one where the rays were manufactured to be bendy and plastic instead of the usual metal, and there’s lights in them so they glow?
They get along quite well, but there is a behavior I noticed that really confused me, which is the older model kissing or bonking its head against the younger model’s head? It’s specifically the older model that does this. I’ve asked other sun owners and they don’t seem to know what I’m talking about
Is this a dominance thing? An aggressive thing? Should I be concerned? Im a new sun owner so sorry if this is a weird question!
This reminds me of the Moon chinning behavior somebody asked about a while back! Most Moon models have scent glands and poor eyesight, but the only Sun I can think of that would need something like that were the nightlight models (2002), which were Sun models specifically made to live in the dark. Your Sun might be prone to singing or mimicking rhythmic sounds, and have pale yellow eyes that glow in the dark. It might be attracted to the glowing rays of your other model, since it tends to like soft lights. As long as the other model isn’t fighting against the marking, it should be fine. Just a cute behavior from a Sun that likes their mate.
Here is Grim from @xnackery027 ‘s domesticated DCA au. He likes to steal my pajamas out of the laundry and switch them for whatever he stole last time that’s now dirty.
Also he escaped into the garage once and got some old paint on him so the grey spots are his new paint after getting him touched up and cleaned.

Really enjoying @xnackery027 's Domesticated DCA AU, so I doodle a freshly adopted Sun being shy about getting out of its crate.
I'm sure it just needs time to acclimate and build up courage to come out and explore its new home
Enjoy!
Hello, I’ve been very nervous to ask but I’ve searched everywhere for the answer and have got incredibly conflicting results from just about everyone so here goes
Is it okay to get a dog when I have a Sun??
The Sun was here first (over a year now! Recently celebrated their adoption day) but the dog was very suddenly acquired (someone just dumped it on me and all the shelters nearby were full)
The Sun has a mild temperament, and comes from a bit of a complicated background. (Previous home was neglectful) but the dog is very kind, a bit on the older side and is semi-trained?
I’ve made sure to keep them as separated as possible and definitely made sure to keep the dog out of the Sun’s enclosure (its common sense), but sometimes my Sun will comes out on their own and start getting weird around the dog?
they will initiate a stalking behavior but never pounce, bring the dog toys but never let it play with them, and mimics its barking anytime it does so. I’ve even seen it offer treats but skitters away if the dog gets curious! These are things its never done so im very concerned…
They also will hover around the dog, and mimic me petting it but never actually pet the dog? like they do the motion but never touch the dog, its odd. The dog itself is incredibly chill, never even growled once during its time here, even when the Sun’s being weird.
They haven’t hurt each other yet, and I’m trying to find out if these actions are warning signs or just Sun trying to familiarize itself with the dog?
hopefully you have some insight! Thanks!
(Okay, firstly, LOVE all of this. This is exactly what I’m going for. I don’t know if I’ll be able to do this ask justice because it’s just so cute and weird I love it)
Firstly, good on you for keeping the dog out of the Sun’s space and vice versa!
It seems like your Sun is trying to understand your dog through you. Watching what you do, copying motions. Your Sun is probably thinking, “If you can do that, and you don’t get hurt by the weird thing, maybe I should do that too.”
Suns are very particular about toys, and that’s the only thing I could see going wrong. Suns will not differentiate between “my toy” and “dog’s toy”. There’s only “my toy” and “my toy that dog has stolen”. So, you might need to establish that a certain set of toys is strictly no-touch.
Otherwise, this sounds like a good setup! I wish you luck with the dog and sun.
[i really love the domesticated au. very silly and I'd like to participate in this silliness so here's this ask]
Hi!
I was recommended by a friend to talk to you about something that's going on with my Moon DCA
So, I know that Moons make certain sounds for either warning or because they're nervous [like "giggling", screeches at times, and some other things]
But uhm... What if my Moon squeaks?
It started two days ago so it hasn't been happening for too long but... I can't really find anything about a moon fucking squeaking
I tried seeing if it was from their mimicking but... They haven't been exposed to squeaking so yk
I don't know if I need to get him checked out because of this but please do tell me if I should!
Anyways, that's really it. Thank you for responding if you do!
(Warning for a loud squeaky sound obviously)
If it sounds like this, then you should take your Moon to a technician. This is the sound of voice box damage. Either your Moon got hurt, or it needs its voice box reset. It’s not fatal at all, but it can be really uncomfortable for a Moon’s sensitive hearing.
Now, if it sounds like this, then congratulations! Your moon is one of the models from 2017. It’s pretty uncommon nowadays, so that’s cool! Those models are specifically meant to be a part of a Moon “family”, with two ‘adults’ and a ‘child’ that co-existed in the same enclosure.
It would start out as one solitary Moon that would act like a regular Moon in all respects. Then, after about a year, it starts making that god-awful squeaking noise, once about every thirty minutes. The squeaking was meant to be an incentive for a parent to go out and buy another Moon (so it stops being annoying), and then eventually, after a couple months of blissful silence, you have two squeaking moons who want you to buy a little mini baby moon for it to “take care of”. They fell out of style very quickly, especially since they were really fucking annoying after a while. There were issues with the mini moons breaking down really easily, and then you’d have to keep having to buy the pair of moons more and more mini moons to keep them from squeaking, and it was just all around not a fun gimmick.
If you don’t want to buy another Moon for it to be with, then I’d recommend going to a tech and asking for its squeaker to be removed. It’s not harmful in any way, and usually it’s done alongside other things like repainting and sanding them before adoption. I’m surprised you found one with an intact squeaker!
If you are one of the few people who actually think the sound is cute enough to keep, then you definitely can. The moons don’t actually get upset if you don’t get them the family. They’re just coded to squeak.
[hi hi hi!!!! i love your domesticated dca au so so much!!! i read through each post like a man in a fever dream. i have two questions ask for my own little brain rot/future art <3]
I adopted a rescued Moon model from my local shelter around a year ago. They didn’t have any information about the previous owner, but it was a suspected abuse/neglect case. Since I’m in a small area they haven’t been able to pin down what model year he is. I’ve made sure his enclosure is filled with enough enrichment additions such as climbing tools, lofted webbing, and and an indoor swing. So far i’ve hypothesized that he’s a pre-2015 model since he’s been very… reclusive? Unless I have something he finds particularly interesting, he pretty much keeps to himself.
1. It’s not troubling (at least I don’t think it is?), but lately i’ve been waking up to him in MY bed. At first I thought he needed more padding, but additional comforters and pillows haven’t changed anything. He’s not there when I go to sleep, but I always catch him just as I wake up and he scurries away. The only reason i’m asking is because I have a history of nasty nightmares/terrors, and don’t want to spook him or thrash at him at night. Should I start locking my door before bed?
2. I saw a familiar question from another adoptee (Rescuers Unite!!) about Moons/Suns repeating phrases. I have echolalia so I repeat phrases and sounds occasionally through the day. My Moon has always been on the quiet side, but lately i’ve noticed he stares at me if I repeat phrases. I was wondering if I should try to stop/monitor what I repeat, since it might bring up bad memories. Or, should I continue as a way of showing him it’s okay to repeat things (though, maybe try to avoid the more in appropriate phrases).
Thank you so much! Your blog has been so helpful as a new owner. Some people online have been kind of wary of posting their experience, and I know Faz-Shit is the worst place to go. So I really appreciate it!
Thanks for the questions!
For one, waking up to find a Moon in your bed isn’t necessarily a reason to be concerned. Moons will seek out warmth where they can find it, even if it means sleeping in your bed. If you don’t want it to do that, then I’d recommend giving it a heated blanket or something similar.
The repeating words thing isn’t harmful! Your Moon may be cautious; if it wasn’t allowed to repeat words in the past, it might be alarmed at you doing it so openly. But it’s a good step to getting your Moon to open up to you. If it sees you doing it, it might feel safer when trying to do it themselves. Of course, if you repeat inappropriate phrases, it might pick up on those too! Some people think that’s funny, some people dislike it. You do you.
