Puzzles doodles (until I draw my Puzzles propaganda poster)
I got bored a few months without any fresh ideas... so I drew few of my Puzzles interacting with others' Puzzles in my spare time. Experimenting how my Puzzles would interact with certain others' Puzzles.
My Puzzles, Princess, interacting with DIP ( @4thwallbreakerinjail ) They honestly look like foils or counterparts, ha ha! (more info on the image description)
With the news of the second Tumblr s3xymen (chuckling in disbelief for word choice) competition for all Puzzles AUs, I took time to do a silly doodle interaction of Pharaoh Puzzles by @thestuffiesheadquarters ( @pharaoh-puzzles-au ) and Him, my Dark Cheshire Puzzles. What I imagined if those two interacted. Plus, this clip sort of reminded me of it, albeit loosely. (I hope I didn't offend nor made Pharaoh different as he is, if I do, I apologize. I also missed drawing his other arm, lol) As much as I want to see Him in the competition, he's not the Puzzles I selected to partake (neither is Princess), which I'll say who in either a reblog or propaganda poster.
WOOOOW LETTIE IN THE @circusclownpuzzles AU!!! LETS GOOOOOOOOO
I feel in love with the au as soon as I found out about it <3 this was fun to draw and I will be doing more in the future! (But I need to go to bed so… gn!)
The 3rd installment of mine and ezzydean’s Puzzles of Our Cats AU continues! Today you get Sunshine and the (Questionable) Murder Attempt.
As background, once upon a time, I prompted ezzydean with what would later become her Puzzles of Our Souls AU. (Which is fantastic, and you should go read it if you haven’t already.) This one is 389 words.
This is what Sunshine looks like.
Everyone is asleep in the dark of early morning when Sousuke is unceremoniously thrust from a particularly pleasant dream by an awful tightening of his throat and the glancing scrape of claws. His eyes spring open only to be blinded by pure white fur, which can only belong to one particularly annoying feline. Sunshine, Sousuke thinks to himself, is an asshole of a cat.
Taking stock of the situation leaves Sousuke with an entirely too alarmed looking cat, and a long forepaw stretched just barely across Sousuke’s throat where the cat is tenaciously balanced with his back paws, claws included, slightly scraping the skin on the other side of his neck. As best as Sousuke can guess, Sunshine was trying to curl up as close to his face as possible, probably to try and suffocate him, he thinks wryly.
He figures it must be the cat’s highly annoying proclivity to sleeping on anything of Sousuke’s that white fur will show up dreadfully on that possessed the cat to try to mar Sousuke’s dark blue pillowcase, although he can’t determine why it had to be this particular time, especially when his old Samezuka jacket is still draped over the seat of the desk chair.
To his credit, Sunshine very gently removes his claws from their perch within millimeters of Sousuke’s skin, in an act that seems very tentative and careful, like the cat is truly trying his very best to ensure that he doesn’t actually cause Sousuke any additional pain to the accidental almost scraping that awoke him.
He backs up a bit, just beyond Sousuke’s shoulder, and gives Sousuke an indecipherable look before he bends his little head down and gently gives the slightly red skin of Sousuke’s neck a tiny lick, as if to kiss it better, before he curls up in a furry ball in the crook made by Sousuke’s neck and shoulder.
Sousuke is at this moment a bit surprised, especially by the loving little lick, but decides that he is too sleepy to bother thinking too much of it. It’s only a cat, anyway, and Sousuke figures that he could have tried suffocating him anytime, so he might as well just go back to sleep. Plus Sunshine is warm against his body, and then he starts purring, putting himself and Sousuke quickly back to sleep.
Following up last night’s Puzzles of Our Cats story, I now present to you the next installment, The Story of Sou and Macky. As background, once upon a time, I prompted ezzydean with what would later become her Puzzles of Our Souls AU. (Which is fantastic, and you should go read it if you haven’t already.) This one is 352 words.
This is what Macky and Saba look like.
Sousuke is lying on the couch reading a book when a small noise comes from the floor below the couch. He ignores it and continues reading until he hears a low, insistent meow. He pauses in his reading and glances down at the floor to see one of the twins, a sleek dark gray cat that has been dubbed Macky.
Macky is not alone. Lying in front of his feet is a small mottled brownish lump that, for a moment, Sousuke can’t identify. He snaps his book shut, sits up, and places his book on the couch next to him. He cautiously looks down again to the cat now sitting proudly between his feet. Between its feet is the brown lump, which Sousuke can now tell is something covered in mangled feathers.
A bird. The cat has brought Sousuke a dead bird. The cat’s little face looks between him and the offering, then meows a quiet meow. Sousuke is partially horrified and partially smitten with how proud the cat looks at having provided for him.
Feeling Sousuke’s apprehension, Haru pokes his head out of the kitchen to see what Sousuke is up to. Sousuke makes eye contact for a brief second and makes a muted hand gesture toward the waiting cat. Haru shrugs his shoulders, and satisfied that nothing is too out of place, returns to the kitchen.
Sousuke sighs. Macky is still staring at him and waiting for some kind of response, though Sousuke isn’t sure what kind of response to give. Resignedly, he slowly reaches out and strokes the cat from head to tail, and says, “Good job, cat.”
The cat looks up in unrestrained delight, stands up, rubs once against Sousuke’s leg, and retreats to somewhere else in the house to do something else, probably take a nap. Sousuke stares at the dead sparrow at his feet again for a second before scooping it up and taking it into the kitchen to dispose of it.
And that is the story of how Sousuke was won over by the proud little feline face that wanted to provide for its master.
heyyyfuturefish and I basically spent over 3 hours off and on last night discussing SouHaru becoming the accidental parents of 15+ cats in my Shatter AU. It started with Sou getting mobbed by cats because someone won’t stop feeding them and quickly spiraled into there are cats literally everywhere (including Sou’s underwear drawer) and every one of their friends seems to have a cat that acts like them including Rei-cat (aka Butterfly) who belly flops off of couches and accidentally fell into the shower with Sou one day and Ai-cat (simply named Ai) the silvery grey fearless runt of a cat who chases freaking dobermans down the street without a second thought and falls asleep in Sou’s shoes.
Names of cats that I can remember? Butterfly, Sunshine (the one Sou names aka the pure white asshole cat who sleeps on Sou’s old Samezuka jacket and all of his dark hoodies *cough*Haru-cat*cought*), Rin, Koko, Pearl, Mittens, Socks, Blacky, Macky and Saba (nearly identical cats) and Macky brings Sou dead birds all the time (Sou is secretly a little proud of that even though he totally “doesn’t like cats”), Little Momo (who brings back beetles and bugs to play with), Fluffball (aka Fluff aka Mako-cat), and Suke (the pure black cat Haru names that naps a lot and is quiet and tries to stare the other cats into submission (doesn’t work very often) *cough*Sou-cat*cough*.)
