I've Been Drawing Zygarde Ever Since The Announcement, Took Them Long Enough But They're Finally Giving

A quick little general slugcat headcanon (featuring a not-so quick drawing to go with it)!

Slugpups have a habit of riding on their parents' tails, kinda like how human kids sometimes cling to their parents' legs! However, for slugcats it's not just for fun, but actually a somewhat instinctive behavior that provides some utility in allowing the parents to carry their kids around more easily when they're small and can't keep up as well on their own. Since slugcats naturally drag their tails — the tail's inherent thickness and large fat stores make it too heavy to lift off the ground all the time — it doesn't really hurt or hinder the parents' movement much, and so is generally pretty efficient when traveling with pups, especially for couples with larger or multiple litters to care for.

Besides that, young slugpups may ride on their parents' backs (usually with the parent walking on all fours in this case), sitting on their shoulders, or just straight-up being carried in their arms, though the final is generally the most difficult option. Once they're big enough they usually walk beside, holding one parent's hand until they're trusted to not stray too far.

Honestly this whole headcanon is pretty much just an extension of this from Survivor/Monk intro:

Color swap thingies

Screw it, I drew Ship art just couldn't stop myself. Not a fan of just calling it Meloetta x Ogerpon so I personally just called the Ship "Forest Melody"

*bite*

SM is an artist AND an unsocialized little guy, you bet your ass I'm HCing them as an anxious wreck that doesn't know how to act around anyone that isn't Suns.

Though SM is begging for their personal space - on hands and knees with tears - the slup seems pretty determined to get SM cleaned up.

Tried my hands on a Sneasel that matches my style more. Still a bit stiff and too small next to Ingo but that‘s just something to improve on in the future

Also love the works that show Ingo being swarmed by Sneasels so I wanted to try that with a bunch of weasel sized Sneasels. We have so much Sneasel cat representation. Where‘s the weasel rep?! HERE IT IS!

Gosh I love my Team in Shield but I do wonder how they survive with a Trainer/Leader like this around.

Back at it again with the Hollow Knight art. Today we have everyone's favorite lil scrappy guy, Zote. I know he's an arrogant ass, but he's probably one of my favorite NPCs in the game.

phrasing of this is taking me out

Gonna annoy Tumblr with my Skrawl stuff too while I'm at it.
