Really stuck thinking about your cat au again, especially Mumbo and Skizz. Its just so fun!
Do you have a design for Impulse yet?
Yes I have a design for Impulse!
He was a bit simpler for me to design. I knew I wanted a bobbed tail and a brown color scheme. Not sure what this pelt is called- If it even has a name?
Some people suggested a bandana, but I prefer the cat harness. I feel like it looks more tactical :D
Absolutely love your art style! Genuinely want to see how Skizz or Impulse look in your style, because omg, it’s fantastic. Much appreciation if you do draw one of them! :D
Hi! Thank you for the very kind words (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*.✧
Here's your Skizz AND impulse drawing !
I feel like if i get anymore asks for two characters im just gonna do both of them in the same drawing (unless specified not to) I don't mind if they just don't interact lolol
Og photo under cut!:
This is a page from Skizz's notes on the Hermits, from mine and @enkays-den's Lils Universe. Explanations under the cut from me and Enkay! There's a lot of lore and worldbuilding going on >:)
Hello! Welcome to a special edition of Hermit A Day May! We’ll be posting little bios that Skizz has made of all the Hermits in our Lils Universe story. The entries you see are a few weeks ahead of where the story is at the moment, but we don’t care, we just want to share these awesome designs and give you a taste for what’s to come! Walleye did the art and some writing, Enkay did a big chunk of the writing and all the page layouts, as well as the doodles of @hybbart's Tamacrafters designs, or Lils as they’re called in our story! (though, Skizz calls them soul sprites)
This is technically a sneak peek into the world building we’ve been creating for the past few months, which is honestly one of the reasons that our projects have been kinda inactive lately. Each journal page has Skizz's notes on the Hermit and their Lil, part of a photo, and some secret text written in Galactic. The full photo will be released after all the people in it have had their day
If you want to see these as they come out, follow Walleye, as all the posts will be on their account! Also, GET READING!!!!!
And if you want to speculate on the content of these pages, please do so in Walleye's inbox, and we’ll get back to you! As long as they’re not super major all time big big BIG spoilers ;) Any interaction is welcome, be it questions, ramblings, theories, or even your thoughts on the ✨secret text✨ if you have any!!
Anyways, gotta go, we’re DESPERATELY trying to assemble all of these pages so that they’re released in time! Each has taken quite a while, so we hope you enjoy them :D
Here's our link to the series on ao3 and @hermitadaymay for the event

I oaaaiahhhh woahhhhhhgggghhhh
Actually you know what, have your pizza.
"Nothing in the world is more precious than one’s life, and sometimes, we have to deal with forces that threaten to cut it short. Ghosts, monsters, and sometimes, even people. This fear prevents us from enjoying our short time in this world.
"But what if I tell you that you don’t have to worry about your life falling into danger? What if I tell you that there are people willing to let go of their lives so you don’t have to?
"Ghost busting? Monster journalism? Creature Handling? Cryptid hunting? Property retrieval in ominous places and planets? There is no job we can’t handle!
"Throw your worries away and let GIGGS handle your dangerous affairs. Give a grand to GIGGS and your life will be nothing but grand."
aka A GIGGS AU where the five of them are broke immortals trying to capitalize on their inability to die by taking on life-threatening jobs.
more under the cut!
Impulse and Skizz founded the company. Skizz had the idea and persuaded Impulse to pursue it. Impulse has extensive experience in ghost hunting and prioritizes on-site jobs, while Skizz’s expertise is in handling clients and paperwork. They started as a duo and received mostly ghost-busting jobs. Years into their business, the jobs became more demanding and dangerous, and despite their immortality, it was still a bit much for two people to handle.
Their first recruit was Scar. They never talked to the man, but they often saw him in the city; each time they saw him, he always sat near the lake with a journal and pen in his hands, and a cane rested on his chair. They have been working as IMP n’ SKIZZ for a few decades at this point, and Skizz pointed out to Impulse that the man doesn’t seem to age despite seeing him every week or month. When they talked to him, they found out that Scar was an immortal as well. He agreed to join the company, and although he was clumsy most times and he died so often, it helped out the duo’s workload a ton. Especially with clients. It felt like they accidentally hired themselves a top salesman and a PR guy.
Their next recruit was Grian… well, more like their first applicant. He suddenly showed up one day in their company building asking they need one more employee. Impulse thought it was a good idea as they started to receive jobs that required them to go off-country, or even off-planet. Grian served as a great addition to their team with the way he strategizes and how quick he get things done. Though he’s a very unsettling person. They’re not even sure if he’s human. Each time he died, his corpse stayed on the ground, and he suddenly pops up somewhere.
Their last official member is Gem, who was neither a recruit nor an applicant. She was a hitman paid to kill Scar. She sabotaged a lot of their jobs just to get a swing at Scar, who never seemed to die even when she ripped his heart out. When Grian tried to kill her to get rid of her, her wounds instantly healed. After a while, she realized that her attempts at killing the old conman were futile. Skizz and Impulse tried to recruit her, seeing that her abilities can help the company, but she refused. They didn’t see her for a few years, and she showed up one day saying she’s sick of killing people for money and wants to go on (creepy) adventures.
The five of them made a perfect team, and thus IMP n’ SKIZZ was renamed to GIGGS after a few years.
ADDITIONAL NOTES
IMPULSE
When he dies, his body tries to repair itself back together, and if his important organs are still intact, he goes back into consciousness.
The cause of his immortality is unknown.
Before falling into an existential crisis and state of depression and hopelessness thanks to his immortality, he was a ghost hunter.
SKIZZLEMAN “SKIZZ”
His immortality is the same as Impulse’s, but his consciousness never leaves his body.
The cause of his immortality is unknown.
A few hundred years ago, he was a radio host who was known for his ghost stories segment. The station eventually fell into obscurity before it completely stopped its operation.
He joined a ghost hunter services company a year later, and that’s where he met impulse.
MR. GOODTIMES "SCAR"
He gets scars and can bleed, but doesn’t feel pain. He can also get his heart ripped off and still be able to live. No part of his body can die, and even though he can’t regenerate a whole new organ, his organs can live apart from him.
However, once his body parts or organs reattach to him, it connects with gooey gold which harden after a while, making it harder to remove the next time. Though, this also causes problems sometimes and makes it harder for Scar to move. This is why he uses a cane for his leg.
He gained immortality from a golden cat statue after he repaired it. Some of its shards are missing, so he’s unsure whether this immortality was a blessing or a curse.
He used to be a con artist. He once tricked a billionaire into investing in his fake business. After he got some hundred million, he booked it and lived comfortably in hiding.
GRIAN
His corpses stay dead, but he pops back into existence randomly.
Beneath his glasses, his eyes are hollow and hold a deep abyss inside them.
Sometimes, his new body doesn't express emotions well, so the team rely on his voice and actions to tell how he’s feeling.
The cause of his immortality is unknown. It’s also unknown what kind of creature he is.
AGENT GEMINI "GEM"
She can die, but only if every single one of the cells explodes. She can grow old, but her regeneration is so fast that her aging is incredibly slowed down. She calls herself a “Pseudo Immortal”. Her skin is difficult to slice apart with how fast it connects back together.
Her immortality’s cause is a secret.
Her life before being a hitman is also a secret.
