i quickly put together some designs for a bee and puppycat dca au. its inspired by the show bee and puppycat by Natasha Allegri
there's two versions, their normal forms and then there lil creature forms. starting off we got them as lil guys!
alright next here is their normal forms.
basically the rough plot is that when someone is looking at them they look like lil creatures but when no one can see them they turn into there normal forms. its some sorta weird curse they are under.
their bells can glow to btw
i also have an eclipse design for this au but its in more WIP stages if ya wanna take a look.
i ramble on a lil more about this au below
ok, so this is sorta more of the "story" for this au. ill also talk about the y/n.
starting off with y/n they basically take on the role of bee
this is sorta what they would be wearing but maybe instead of a bee on the shirt it could be a star? or idk whatever you want its for a y/n.(also pls look into this show if you can its awesome, also like bee has several different outfits throughout episodes so there that too)
now the "story" stuff...this is a lil about the "curse" sun/moon have and more so just how y/n stumbles upon sun/moon in the first place. im honestly kind of nervous but here goes I'm just gunna ramble on about this au...
sun/moon’s curse: they both look like little creatures whenever someone is looking at them, but when nobody is looking they turn back to their true/normal forms. my idea was that maybe its like some sorta of dumb curse that can be broken after they learn some sort of lesson idk i imagine they were cursed in the first place because they both tend to cause trouble… they were space outlaws after all... i also would like to think maybe the Y/n gets an exception to this curse's rule later on somehow and is like the only one to see them in their normal forms when they look at them sometimes.
How y/n stumbles upon sun/moon: Sort of starts the same as how bee meets puppycat for the first time in the show. sun and moon were jumping out of a portal and moon fell out first. since y/n was close by, he suddenly turned into a small creature and tripped/fell out of the portal. Y/n decides to take the little creature back to their home to make sure it was alright… sun jumped out of the portal second (he luckily wasn't seen yet and landed just fine) and noticed that y/n was walking off with moon. so sun follows Y/n home in secret. later Moon is in the house with Y/n and sun for a while is trying to sneak into the house to get to moon the whole time. occasionally people walking by making sun turn into a small creature here and there so sun has a very difficult time sneaking around…eventually peeking through a window sun sees moon is fine. it seems Y/n is willing to let moon stay and take care him …sun then decides to ring the door bell, y/n opens the door and sees sun as a small creature on their doorstep. Y/n ends up taking in both sun and moon, then things go from there. Very quickly it's apparent that these little creatures are magical, they also can sorta talk…kinda…its very much like puppycats little vocaloid sounds… Y/n is the only one to sorta understand them when they talk in their lil creature forms… idk i this au is very much a wip still and i dont have many details figured out yet. (granted i kind of see them maybe making squeaky toy sounds… or maybe instead they make bell jingling sounds???)
if you read though this and liked my au idea, i just wanna say thanks a bunch!!! it means alot to know someone out there like my silly cute au ideas.
I will admit seeing @kezibun post about the new tomadachii living the dream demo is what sparked me into this. I'm starting with the miitopia demo and I hope to give the living dream demo a try
Anyways this took me a long while but behold!!! enjoy this yassified sun!
I plan to be working on a moon version aswell
✨✨✨
I'm gunna go INSANE with these customizations!!! i will be stuck in this mii creation stuff for weeks I tell you!!!
heyo so i also designed an eclipse for this bee and puppycat au too!
you can see the designs i whipped up for this au's sun/moon here
although...i kinda need some help here...I've been having a hard time trying to find colors that work for this aus eclipse design and i was hoping to get some others views on this so im holding a lil poll.
which colors look best or should i keep workshopping it. we have a pastel one i dub "cosmic candy" and then we have a more classic sunset one.
what colors look better?
Cosmic Candy
Sunset
Keep Workshopping it
Voting ended onAug 29, 2025
This is a better reference of the sunset colors I was trying to go for. It's a screenshot from the show.
Omg I just found these recently, I made these roughly when SecurityBreach had just came out lol and it was the beginning of my hyperfixation of these goobers 🤣
I talk more about these and some other madness below
Ok for starters I can confirm they do jingle, idk I figure I should add that...
Second, here is a close up of moon cuz he has glitter stuff on him... (its probably why I didn't do stars on his hat)
Also I found my early test of a sun plushy head...It's in pink because I was just testing a design with scrap felt, I still think it looks cute.
Ok now here's the real kicker...this was how I found these old keychains...i was digging through my closet and stumbled upon these things...damn 2 whole cookie jars.
They were filled with like random craft nick-knacks but specifically the one with this lid had the dca keychains....
No one: ...
My delusional self: SUN?!?! Coincidence, I think not!!! (Idk what point I'm making, i just thought it was funny it had the word sun and had my dang dca keychains in it)
All righty here we go, first off im sooo sorry i literally couldn't think of what colors to go with and it was taking forever so i settled for doing a "colorless" palette, so sorry again. i honestly just wanted to get this out finally...i made it exist first and i can make it better later...but if ya want your more than welcome to pick colors yourself for this Y/N...
I also really wanted y/n to have these goggles and it was kinda hard to show but I imagine yns shawl thing has a hood that looks like this pic.
i wish i could've made the boots, bag and knee pads look a bit more like "worn" or "weathered" i honestly had no clue how to do that nor did i have the time currently...so i uhh idk added some scratches but not too many cuz i honestly didn't know how to feel and i was uncertain how they looked...
i sorta took inspiration from this character Gigi that's in the 2nd game for y/ns design...(i actually haven't run into her yet and know very little about her...i just liked her appearance...)
surprisingly i have quite a bit of lore for this Y/N below the cut if ya wanna see.
starting off with some small facts first
y/n has a satchel bag that they've kept for a while, its a beloved item of their's thats seen many things, they take it everywhere.
they affectionately call the satchel "old reliable" its actually been around since their days as a Tarr defense member on there home planet…before they moved to a new planet, rainbow island(s). (thats the setting of slime rancher 2, on rainbow island)
the star vac pack and watch were sorta gifted to them when they first moved to the planet and inherited a ranch. (got the items from a slime research lab not too far away)
the stickers on their lil device were actually a coincidental gift from a friend back on there home planet.
alright deeper lore...
YN recently inherited a ranch from a family relative and just moved to a new planet ( Slime rancher 1 plot kinda)
it was also better for them since they sorta had to leave their old job because of their arm injury
YN sorta has their own separate lil ranch (mostly like the one from the 1st game) but they often visit/help out at sun/moons conservatory ranch. its also very easy for them to stop on by via the teleporters, (rainbow island(s) uses lots of teleporters) y/n is always casually dropping on by the conservatory and hangs around there more than they do there own lil ranch.
YN doesn't really keep slimes at there own ranch they mostly help care for slimes at the conservatory, yns ranch is mostly for keeping fruit trees, veggie gardens and chicken coops. yns ranch is actually on a far corner of the rainbow island(s) and there arnt many slimes near their ranch area
YN was attacked by a tarr in the past (specifically bit by a tarr, since yn was trying to save a slime from being eaten, they saved the slime but yn got a bad scar) it scarred their arm, they wear a metal casing thing over their arm to keep the tarr residue from spreading/getting worse (they also have a small scar on their face but its harmless)
they also carry enchanted water to keep the tarr scar from spreading/worsening. (im referring to ancient spring water from the glass desert in the 1st game...idk if i recall there's also enchanted water in the 2nd game too in like some hidden oasis area...)They haven't found a way to permanently get rid of the tarr remains on their arm, but luckily they can keep it under control just fine so its not that big of a deal.
YN was never really a rancher back at their home planet, they were more of a ranger/patrol lookout for tarrs, (TARR defense) they were part of a group that would be on the look out for any tarr attacks and do their best to prevent slimes/largos from over mixing (thats what causes tarrs), they mostly did rounds patrolling areas and sorta keeping their regions clear/safe.
when a tar attack was happening they spray/shoot tarrs with water and gather slimes away to safety. Usually as an extra precaution after tarr attacks they will clean up leftover tarr residue left on surroundings and take other preventative measures like clearing the area of excess plorts lying about.
YN still has there old tarr defense badge, they keep it in there satchel. they were allowed to keep the badge. (id imagine yns badge to look more weathered/aged maybe...oh also thats what a tar looks like)
might change the badge design later... this was just something i whipped up real quick...(bro idk how to shade metal but i tried...)
featuring the waterpark boys from @sun-e-chips lovely waterspark bay au!!! pls check it out!!!
TW: POSSIBLE EYE STRAIN
couldn't decide on a background...was kind of worried the one w/water in the back was a tad much...even after i went through all the trouble of drawing that background😭...so i also did one with a plain background. If you can even call it that😓...(sorry i was just rly worried there was a lot going on for peoples eyes...)
also idk why but i thought it would be fitting to include this song... i just liked the vibes😊✨ (this comes w/ english subtitles btw!!!)
✨BONUS I HAD EXTRA NEAT STUFF WHILE MAKING THIS ART TO SHARE AS WELL!!! BELOW THE CUT!!!✨
there were two color versions i was considering for sun's soda...figure id mention/show this because I REALLY COULDNT DECIDE WHAT LOOKED BETTER😖...i ended up going with version #1... mostly cuz the palm trees and flowers were more red/pink/orange... I felt it needed more yellow sorta to balance idk...I DO THINK THE PINK ALSO LOOKS REALLY GOOD BUT I DIDNT WANT TO TAKE FOREVER W/THIS 😭😅
next up my fav discovery while working on this...they looked kinda neon/glow in the dark when i removed the majority of the background colors n stuff 👀✨...thought these were super cool and wanted to show them to...(ugh i think the faint sketches still look better than the full art wwwhhhyyyy...😅😖😭)
ok so here is some info about sun and moon from my upcoming slime rancher au.
EDIT: IVE GOT SOME ART FOR THE DESIGNS NOW!!!
(@luckyyyduckyyy @justyouraverageeldritchjester again figure you'd guys would wanna see this post)
sun and moon oversee the conservatory. this mostly takes place on rainbow island…its what the setting is for the slime rancher 2 game. (I plan to mix elements of the first game into this too, so its like a mix of both slime rancher 1 and 2)
here's what the conservatory looks like.
SUN☀️
sun is the daytime rancher
sun helps deal with slimes that are easy to catch but require durability/resistance. for examples sun can handle rock slimes charging at him and he's resistant to boom slime explosions.
it also helps that sun is equipped with special gravity boots
sun, for his slimes, he prefers to have corals or organized pens/fences/enclosures (whatever he just doesn't like the slime causing havoc lol)
sun likes to keep himself and his things clean and orderly as best he can (like he hates it when he gets all dirty from boom slimes blowing ashes and dust onto him/his face so he always carry like a cloth or two to wipe it off)
sun has a pet yolky slime (or 2-3 maybe lol idk yet...) one day while working he stumbled upon a yolky slime, the slime seemed to have taken a liking to sun because of how similar his rays looked to another yolky (sort of...bro idk sun wont look 1 for 1 like an egg lol) and now the egg slime just follows him around where ever.
(even if he tries to put it in a coral the yolky will somehow find a way to stick to him lol) (sun may or may not end up stumbling upon more yolkys, i can imagine the egg slimes following him like ducklings. the yolkys also like to chill on his head/shoulders or jump on his face…sun gets annoyed by how often they flop on his face, specially while he's busy)
(believe it or not these lil egg slimes spawning in game is actually kind of rare, they spawn by chicken nests and like they have a certain spawn rate its a whole thing...)
MOON🌙
moon is the nighttime rancher.
while Sun looks after the ranch most of the day moon is often out and about gathering extra supplies and also checking any mini pumps or drills left on the islands outskirts. ( its what he does when he's not on ranch duty during the daytime)
moon also doubles as a tarr lookout
moons helps deal with speedy, tricky, and hard to catch slimes.
moon can camouflage/turn invisible with some special tech he's equipped with, helps him sneak up on certain slimes and avoid ferals and tarrs.
moon specializes in handling nighttime slimes like phosphors and ringtails…he also handles a few deadly slimes like crystal slimes.
id describe him as being very agile, like for the crystal slimes he knows how to quickly avoid the sharp crystal spikes they summon alot.
moon just lets his slimes free range/free roam mostly (sun doesn't like this and insisted they at least have a few fences set up around certain areas)
moon doesn't care for a few scratches/scuffs or dirt marks, he's often too focus on his job/tasks to bother plus he's just gunna keep getting messy (sun usually doesn't let him get away with this for too long though…)
bonus under the cut, I've sorta listed what slimes they look after + y/ns slimes
ok so gunna let you know now that this list is not definite at all and is very likely gunna be subjected to changes...
