i’ve been having silly shadowgast cat au brainworms for months but especially yesterday so i’ve decided to do something about it
i’ve picked abyssinian for essek because i think their condescending judgemental faces would be perfect for him, and i feel like in general they’re very elf-like in their appearance 🤭 the coat color i’ve been leaning towards is called lilac despite not being actually lilac at all! so a lilac coat for a purple wizard 💜 he’s not really cat-show worthy (despite his perfect pedigree) because he got cooked up weird with his little forehead patch and white shoulders, but jester loves him anyway.
caleb is a simple dark orange tabby with a somewhat unusual arrangement of white spots. i know frumpkin was a bengal but i can’t imagine caleb being a fancy purebred cat 🤭
i’ve got many many more brainworms that i will hopefully illustrate at some point. stay tuned for more feline whimsy
is the AU that the mighty nein just own two wizard cats or did they get turned into cats
kinda the former! my idea was just a plain old cat au where the wizards are just cats. no polymorph or otherwise magical shenanigans. they live with jester and a long-suffering allergic fjord but honestly with how much the rest of the nein are in each other’s business they’re everyone’s cats. veth picks up strays and rehabilitates/fosters them and then finds them a nice loving home, which is how caleb got adopted by jester. essek already lived with her at the time, did the whole politely avoiding caleb for two weeks and being displeased that he’s not the only cat in the house anymore thing, and now they’re in love. that kinda stuff. there’s barely any plot to this au, only brainworms. tbh i just wanna draw my ship cuddling as kitties, and have fun adapting some canon events and traits to a whimsical au. here’s a revamped meme to spruce up my answer
