Nobody asked for it, but I drew up the Moon Rabbit Service's uniform minimal requirements for the main six divisions, with details.

See alt for clearer details because I have shite handwriting, I know.

They're both very prideful warriors, which is fair enough considering they're some of the small handful of demigods in the modern world.

Tycho takes them without hesitation, usually because of his job. Even if it's not for his job... he's kind of wired like that.

Sidra & Murabaa, it depends on who's giving the command and the situation. Most of the time, they'll ignore you or scoff.

Getting weird, freaky, weirder, and even freakier when writing my stories has been extremely freeing and cool. Highly recommend.

Lady Meleza would've preferred finishing making her Demi-Creation while she was still a Goddess. But times changed, and she was unable to finish giving Empa life before then.

Still, Meleza is proud of what Empa has done with her unfavorable situation and that she is respectful to those above.

Side note, that's an old sketch, and I don't have any recent of her.
But the design hasn't changed yet, and she'll show up maybe once or twice. So there isn't much need for new drawings unless that changes.

I figured I'd show one that is older and plays a much smaller role. Empa Meleza, Demi-Creation of the Astral Demon Queen of Possessiveness.

Empa basically watches over her own Demon Market in the Diyu division of hell. Her rules for her market are simple;
No Divine Contraband.

"I know it's hard to comprehend, but my market does abide by rules and standards, and I enforce mercilessly. The First; No Divine Treasures. We won't ask how you got it, where, and when. But we're not letting you sell it here. Insist and I come down... well..." She giggled, the pitch taking a more disturbing my ears now, "It may not seem merciful, but if a God catches a demon with a divine weapon or treasures, we've all heard of Prometheus in the worst-case scenario. In most others, it's a burning pain people speculate on."
"And the second?"
"No Divine Contraband, Things that the Gods are withholding from Humanity; Divine Ambrosia, Potions of Luck, or Things like the Tullithorne seeds, the list is much longer. But those are just three things I can name verbally because morons have brought them in recently." Her mandibles chattered, and she grinned... "Some were bold and delicious enough to insist on selling those illegal objects under the table in my market." Her laugh wasn't so pleasant this time around. "The items themselves were completely burned and destroyed, but listed. I send the inventory list to the Heavens, and they stay out of my non-existent hair."

...Sidra looked among the crops with fascinated curiousity, she'd seen crops like it, but it was an odd place for them to grow if they were what she thought they were. She kneeled down as if she was doing a frog squat, gently brushing the tall grass-like crop finding what she suspected, a bundle of rice grains. "What is it?" Bakari asked curious as he looked over Sidra's shoulder. "Rice." Sidra answered as she stood up straight. "Rice?!" Bakari looked around confused then his eyes widened. "Buh... but isn't that squash?" Sidra looked to the imp behind her confused. "Wha- Squash, where?" Bakari pointed, Sidra followed his finger and saw the tell-tale curling vine roots of squash and pumpkins. Sidra walked over careful where she stepped, and leaned over the plant. "It is squash!" Sidra confirmed as Bakari rushed over, suddenly its foot sinking into mud catching his foot. "Aah-!" He yelped, Sidra tried to catch the imp, but it was too late it fell onto the crop smashing the budding squash. "Oww..." Bakari groaned, as Sidra bent down helping the imp up. "Are you okay?" She asked, "Yeah... except my uniform is covered in mud and squash." Bakari grumbled, when a voice behind the pair chimed in. "And you just destroyed a pretty fine squash, which will cost you." Bakari and Sidra turned quickly, being met with a rather large pale gut. Their heads tilted upward till the met the brown eyes of a frog.

This frog was huge, maybe 15'7'', easily over a thousand pounds, a mix of yellow and dull brownish yellow with black spots... seeming to carry an ornate smoking pipe that glistened with gold and silver. But that's not what caught Bakari's eyes. It was a shine to the frog, at first he thought it was slime, then it began to droop. "A-are... those gold coins?" Bakari asked the frog, it laughed with a boisterous chuckle. "Yes, yes, they are." The frog reached over and began plucking them off.

Sometimes, there are ones that can make decisions... but those are ones that also decided to be a nuisance and also stir up trouble for people. Thus, they eventually end up on bounty boards.

They're usually the kinds that cause issues themselves; Hydras, Serpopards, Chimeras, oversized salamanders(not dragons, literally just giant lizards), etc.

Left unchecked they would cause problems for people(especially for ones who don't even know they exist).

Sidra, if she can, is sharpening her blade. If she can't, then she's reading up on mythological creatures... and how best to hunt/cook them.

Murabaa usually has conversations with his apprentice or is meditating on moves to make as a leader. (2/2🧵)

In the rare instances of long, dragged out Travel... Tycho will mostly try to have conversations with anyone he's with. Otherwise, will be browsing Moon Rabbit Services App for jobs with non-specific requirements.

I managed to create two things with this quote. One negative translation... and one extremely cute one all wrapped in one small story snippet found in the Alt.
#art

"Ugh, yeah, that phrase; 'Eternity doesn't last forever, it just lasts as long as you live.' It's something Gods keep in the back of their minds to remind them while they can live for thousands of years... the soul inside could change at any given moment the second they die." Drilltooth explained. "Oh, so a reminder of their semi-morality?" Tycho asked, sounding a bit disappointed. "What did you think it meant?" Drilltooth questioned confused on how it could be interpreted any other way, Tycho shrugged, "I had no idea. Just figured it could be something sweet."
"How?"
"Well..." Tycho smirked. Drilltooth's eyes narrowed. "I swear to gods if you say something corny. I will come over there-"
"Eternity doesn't last forever. It just lasts as long as you live, Drilltooth." Tycho answered, with a knowing smirk, barely able to get a leg off the couch before the squirrel god was on top of him. "You need to take off those rose tinted glasses. They'll blind you at the worst moment one day." Drilltooth noted as he leaned in, Tycho smirked as he saw the god blush. "Is today that day?" He asked, Drilltooth didn't answer, instead leaning in and kissing the tanuki on the lips. He embraced the god, then... felt the gods tongue slip between his lips, to his surprise. His eyes went wide at the sensation, Drilltooth was now the one smirking as he pulled away. "I warned you." Drilltooth teased, "You didn't mention anything about tongue!" Tycho chuckled, the space between his eyes flushed slightly red, "What did you expect when you keep running that mouth like that? Someone had to make you shut up for a minute."

TanukiTycho @tanukitycho.bsky.social · 1d

I don't know how. But I plan to create something out of this random quote that appeared in my mind;

"Eternity doesn't last forever, it just lasts as long as you live."

I love it when I accidentally write quotes that linger in my mind long after I write them. It makes me think there really is an ether where ideas linger, and artist just reach into it borrowing their work from it sometimes.

"Because I get the sense if they used my suggestion, I'd be willing to wild a guess that almost over eighty percent would vote for the Enlightening in that case for a multitude of reasons. Boredom, wanting something more, to expand the world beyond what it is, for the pure chaos and destruction, and for new possible solutions to the impossible... if not their own reasons." Tycho explained his rationale, Drilltooth tipped his head. "I thought you didn't want the Enlightening." Drilltooth commented in a just-so tone. "I don't. I'm just trying to see it through multiple perspectives of why someone would." Tycho explained tiredly, Drilltooth nodded quietly. "Do you think it'd ultimately be the right choice?" The squirrel simply asked, "No." Tycho answered immediately, shaking his head. "It's the kind of problem that has no right answer. Just... needs one that someone in power has to give." Tycho shrugged, Drilltooth sighed then smiled meekly. "So... I'm not crazy for thinking that no mortal, god, or demon could give a good answer to that kind of problem." Drilltooth quietly seemed to mumble in a moment of vulnerability. "No, you're not." Tycho shook his head. "Thank you, good night." Drilltooth stood up, seeming prepared to leave. "Where are you going to sleep?" Tycho asked before the god could move. "I wasn't going to sleep. I was gonna go back to Moon Rabbit Café in Ame and just do some overtime to distract myself." Drilltooth admitted, Tychos lips barely parted, and just as the God seemed ready to leave again... he seemed to finally find his voice, saying; "I'm on forced hiatus, I dont have anywhere to be. If you want to..." Tycho started then hesitated. He could feel the gods eyes on him, seeming to know what the tanuki was offering without him finishing his thought.

In a swift motion, the bed squeaked as the god joined the tanuki. "Maybe... some sleep will help me gather my thoughts. Help me relax a little." Drilltooth mumbled, seeming to convince himself.

I feel like most that come to mind are well known enough because it hit the internet... but I feel like "The Gregory Horror Show" may still be a tad bit obscure.

I feel like I remember a Scooby-Doo movie that missed that point.

Where a bunch of the original villains got together for an elaborate scheme and made a lot of unique and amazing tech for the plan, someone pointed it out and how they could've sold it

But the villains just really wanted... Revenge.

the protagonist isn't always the hero. they are just the person the book is about. sometimes authors write books about people who are bad and it does not mean that the author is bad

Okashi does her homework and asks for more details from everyone relevant.

If the Servant is at fault, they're given the opportunity to improve and more training.

If the God is just being snobby/causing problems for fun, the comments are deleted, and the god is given a slap on the wrist(a fine).

TanukiTycho @tanukitycho.bsky.social · 2d

To elaborate(because what I wanted to say was barely too long).

It basically allows Gods to comment about the quality of service they got from Servant and rank them, as well as make quick food or other service purchases. It's an adaptation that's beloved by the gods for its convenience.
