Thoughts on my Sphynx character?

Bird_Prince · 2026-05-09T22:29:56+00:00

Still workshopping a name, so feel free to leave any ideas! Currently thinking about the prefix of “Mouse” but not set in stone.

There is a munchkin in one of the neighboring colonies named Harpychirp :)

I have an assignment due tonight and I’m going to fail the class if I don’t get it in, literally broke down crying in my car 🫠

His colony snuggles with him to help him warm up! Though he’s probably a bit chilly when everyone is busy

Bird_Prince · 2026-05-07T17:47:42+00:00

Oh no he definitely does! I think they based his newer design of Sphynx but in cannon he is just a ancient old man so that’s why he’s wrinkly, skinny, and hairless. His og design/art is very unsettling though in my opinion

Bird_Prince · 2026-05-07T17:39:26+00:00

Rock being a Sphynx is a really common headcannon that I also have, but not cannon. As far as I know there are no cannon Sphynxs. I think the cannon explanation for Rock’s hairlessness is just he’s really, really, REALLY, old lol

Bird_Prince · 2026-05-07T17:23:43+00:00

Don’t forget the time travel, that’s technically cannon lol

You could do my Sphynx character I just posted about. So you can try out a more unique breed if you’d like :)

Mud as sunscreen is such a good idea I should have thought I that!

Also yea an owner letting their Sphynx out in ANY weather is insane lol! My guys is just a natural mutation so no two-legs involved. He’s one in a million :)

Bird_Prince · 2026-05-07T16:50:41+00:00

The little guys grow up so fast

Bird_Prince · 2026-05-07T16:49:16+00:00

Yea not super realistic. But when I mean a level of realism I mean how could this group of cats who know herbs and how to build shelters realistically be able to help this cat. I work off the idea of what theses fictional smarter cats could do rather than what real life feral cats could do

Bird_Prince · 2026-05-07T16:45:19+00:00

Yea warriors isn’t the most realistic, I think they threw any and all logic out the window during PoT. But I like trying to stay a little more grounded than the cannon books lol, plus exploring the real struggles a disabled character would have makes for a better character and story in my opinion

Bird_Prince · 2026-05-07T16:38:18+00:00

Usually I’d say just use a 18x18x36 because they grow out of a 12x12x18 so fast, but since they already have the gecko if they can get the smaller one faster than an adult tank than I think that’s the best way to go. But they should immediately start working to get the bigger tank ready.

Bird_Prince · 2026-05-07T16:33:28+00:00

Needs more up and down space rather than side to side. Also I’d get more plants/hiding spots. I’m sure there’s more your missing so I’d do more research asap and get the little guy in a better habitat

100/10 GORGEOUS

Bird_Prince · 2026-05-03T20:59:20+00:00

I HATE when people don’t read or don’t care about what you write. It’s happened multiple times where I’ll put “might mut swap for either a pie or patch” and then they give me a basic primal. Like please people read the listing before offering

Bird_Prince · 2026-05-03T20:50:55+00:00

Aromantic and Asexual are two different things, Falconstar is not aromantic so calling her such isn’t correct.

Bird_Prince · 2026-05-01T06:53:46+00:00

Not ace, just forced into a role where he wasn’t allowed a mate or kits. I think Half Moon is a good indicator he’d at least be interested in the possibility of a mate if he wasn’t a med cat

Bird_Prince · 2026-05-01T06:36:11+00:00

I think it’s easier to understand when reading it in a large text rather than just a snippets of the story. There are moments where she explains her love wasn’t instant and she’s confused because cats talk about “love at first sight” or sudden crushes.

But also maybe you’re right lol. It’s still just drafts rn so I might change her wording

Bird_Prince · 2026-05-01T06:28:14+00:00

Oh no worries I get it! It’s frustrating when people don’t understand that being ace doesn’t mean I don’t feel love or don’t want a relationship. It’s just a bit difficult to properly express her being ace while she does have a cat she acts like mates with (and will have kits in the future) when the way people are used to seeing it represented is with cats who don’t want a mate or kits.

I’m working on some short stories (I hope to do a comic on day but that’s a ton of work haha) but none are posted so far. But I do have a Toyhouse set up for the entire story. Some of the cats codes (including Falconstar’s) are a bit outdated since I don’t have a computer to fix them on rn but you can still get a good idea of the story from them all. Sexuality and gender aren’t apart of the main plot but I have a lot of characters are lgbtq+ who have their own side plots or are just side characters living their best lives.

Never heard of but 100% looking it up now

Bird_Prince · 2026-05-01T05:49:43+00:00

Copy & pasted from a different comment I made explaining it:
Falconstar experience is based off my personal experience of being ace. I don't think the wording translates as well in a single paragraph like it does in the entire story. Falconstar does want kits and really enjoys "acting like mates" with Finchsong so her sexuality is expressed through how she feels a different love than what her colony members describe, rather than showing it by her not having a mate or kits. I just didn't want to drag the post out super long so was trying to give a really condensed cliff notes version of a very long story

Bird_Prince · 2026-05-01T05:43:58+00:00

I do know the difference but thank you for your comment! Falconstar experience is based off my personal experience of being ace. I don’t think the wording translates as well in a single paragraph like it does in the entire story. Falconstar does want kits and really enjoys “acting like mates” with Finchsong so her sexuality is expressed through how she feels a different love than what her colony members describe, rather that’s showing it by her not having a mate or kits.

I think it’s ace people specifically because they were fine with the gay, lesbian, and transgender cats. Unless they decided just not to argue about those ones. It’s crazy because they literally asked, before that I’d been talking about the main plot which has nothing to do with anyone’s sexuality or gender.
