✨Sweetshifters's Comments


hi! the images on rhe trait sheet doesnt work anymore ^_^!

oh thank you for letting us know!! we're gonna be doing a big update to fix the css very very soon hopefully, we'll make sure to get to that too :D so sorry about that in the meanwhile but feel free to ask if you have any questions!

oh dont worry about it! just wanted to let y’all know ^_^! very excited to aee the update :3

Hello!! I’d love to make one of my own, do you allow a more kemono character or do they have to be kemomini?

Thank you in advance :3c

sure! a more kemono character is ok :] as long as they check all the boxes for traits i don't see why not!

Awesome!! Thank you so much 🩷

I still love these guys I thought about them every other day while on hiatus sob
Im probably gonna do drawings for the events I couldn't actually participate in

AWW i'm glad you're back!! absolutely feel free to draw from the older prompts... they're always open even if the bulletin is older :]

Another question (sorry) 

Would we be allowed to trade sweetshifterz or do somethin like a custom trade? (Like give a moodboard or a set of emojis and we make a design for the ither person using it)?

It's mostly okay, you can trade sweetshifters for other characters, and you could make a custom for your friend/have one made for you.

I think the only time we'd feel a bit hesitant and it might not be okay is if you're using the idea of a "custom sweetshifter" as a stand-in for money, if that makes sense? Like offering "I could make you a custom sweetshifter!!" on an OTA. I'm not sure how I feel about that hypothetical LOL

Anything's okay until it feels like it could be crossing over into territory where someone's profiting off of sweetshifters. (Like, I also am not too sure how I'd feel about someone commissioning another artist to design their sweetshifter?? Like I don't even think it'd be wrong to do I'm just so split on that hypothetical too)

Uhhh I'm rambling here but I guess what I'm getting at is that if it feels like it's okay (making a character for a friend, trading characters with someone else, gifting a custom design to someone, etc) then it's probably okay - and if you're not sure/if feels like you might have to ask, just message one of us and we'll figure it out with you! 

Kk! That makes sense, i wasnt wantin to profit of makin any i was mostly just curious :3

YEAH LOL I DIDNT THINK YOU WERE... thats just one of our only real rules so i was trying to figure out how & if itd even apply to something like that 

Kk! :D

HIYA! i was wonderin if the feral form is a frog should i give the humanoid form the frog featurez or am i supposed to give them a tail and earz anywayz? :3

Up to you! It's your character, do whatever you'd like.

Yey ok!

HEY!! SORRY ABOUT HAVING 2 QUESTIONS IN ONE DAY ;-; i wanted to ask if they can put things on their antennae? For example, I wanted to put a few of those edible candy beads on mine's antennae, and then a peach ring. For extra context, the ends of her antennae are heart lollipops, so i thought maybe it'd work? But i cant tell if that'd still be painful for them or not. Nothing would be squishing the actual antenna material or anything either, but idk, maybe it'd be uncomfortable for them?

Yes totally! Honestly, for the peach ring example, it sounds like itd be kind of like the rings they have anyway - but tbh we have a sort of "do whatever you want forever" policy as long as youre not hurting anyone LOL the rules for making a sweetshifter are very loose so don't overthink it. do what you think would be cutest and make you happiest!!! :D

Ok!! Ty again :3

Am I able to join the world even though idk when I'll have a character ready? I want to make one, I just have a few projects I'm working on for the holidays but I'd like to join asap :33

yes of course!! you can join whenever, there's no rush on making a character :] take it at your own pace!

Okay! ty for the response!!! <3

Do you guys have a discord?

not yet, but we're thinking about it because of high demand! we're just trying to be considerate of the moderation it would take to have a forum or a discord because there's only 2 mods 🥲

Oh alr! Tysm for the reply! And if you do make a discord I’d love to know 👀

Do you have a idea of the deadline for the malloween event to end? (I'm working on one and I want to know if I can finish it in time)

we're most likely planning to have our winter event in late december/early january, so you have plenty of time!

Ok thank you

Does the treat they're made out of have to be a real treat or can it be a fantasy one too?

a fantasy treat would probably be ok as long as it has sugar in it! generally the idea is that they're invading earth to eat the sugar supply there, so mostly real treats that exist on this planet, but if you have a good idea for a fantasy one you're welcome to go for it :]

When I have time and motivation I will draw all the sweetshifters mwahahahahaha
Also my brain keeps telling me to make one of each species that exists smh my head

HEHE feel free!!! i'm glad you're enjoying making them :D

May i ask if you are planning to open a discord for the species?

we're still debating on the matter because of concerns about being able to moderate a large group with our busy schedules! it's a maybe right now, but feel free to stay tuned for if we announce one :]

I want to make a Sweetshifter based on a ladybug, but they don't have ears or a tail... would that be alright? I know we can make hybrids, but I'd like to know my options.

yeah that would be ok if you really want to! you can also replace the ears and tail with sweets as a mutation, but if you really don't want to have ears or a tail in any way that's ok too 🫡

Okay! Thanks for letting me know :]

Are goats or bats allowed?

Any animal or combination of them you'd like! Usually mammals but some people have made bugs and fish and so on :)

Quick question: Is crossbreeding allowed? I'd like to possibly make a Sweetshifter-Ware Jomyu crossbreed if that's okay.

crossbreeding is allowed! we have a little section on it in our faq :]

I think it would be neat if we could have a forum for linking our sweetlings :00 if not that's totally chill I just think it would be cool xidbsidb

we'll consider opening some forums! we're hesitant about stuff like a discord or forums because there's only two of us, and moderating can become very difficult with a large community, but we'd like you guys to be able to chat about sweetshifters amongst yourselves too :] for now feel free to share any sweetshifters you want in the event bulletin!

Ah, yeah I totally get that ^^ Community regulation is difficult I don't blame you at all

Uhhm, what do you guys mean by a sweets trait though? Is it supposed to look like the treat they're based on or... do you mean something else? I kinna don't understand what the sweets trait is from the picture.

Any sort of sweet-inspired themeing and motifs in the character! Can be more vague (color palettes, pattern) or direct (big versions of the sweet as accessories, etc)

In the picture elements like the strawberry charm & dripping icing are outlined in yellow because they're inspired by the desserts Sunny's based on - and in Mallow's design he has clear hot cocoa themeing (color pallet, winter coat, etc) but you can also see more obvious elements like his sugar packet purse and the konpeito in his hair.

Its ultimately up to you! Take inspiration from your sweet of choice however you see fit - it's supposed to be a jumping off point <3

Ahhh okay. Thank you!

oOohhohoh these r so cute im about to be pulled out of art block just to create one

where is the traits?? 0-0

am i allowed to turn an already existing character into a sweetshifter? like, if i were to take one of my sonas and give them a sweetshifter form,, would that be alright? :0

Yep! We've already had someone do that <3 do whatever you want as long as it's within the rules

not right now! but potentially in the future, so stay tuned. we're still sorta deciding whether we'd want to make one or not

Totally gonna make one of these!! Would an axolotl esk one be alright?

totally! that sounds super fun :] as long as you hit all the necessary traits, any animal will work!!

I’m making one rn!

WOOHOO!! glad to hear it :D

whoaaaa, they seem so cool! could i make one based off of a harbor seal? (just wanted to check cuz its a type of earless seal)

yeah, that'd be ok! if the animal doesn't have ears that's cool (though you can always add hybrid ears from another animal too). as long as they have the tail and antennae and a sweets theme 😎👍

got it, thank ya!

I'm really interested in making one and just wanna know, is there a limit to what is considered a sweet?
for example, would a type of cake, cookies, or a milkshake count as sweets

Cake, cookies, and milkshakes are all considered sweets - any sort of sweet treat works :)

Alright, thanks!

AWWWW THESE ARE SO CUTE! I see that they’re a semi open species! Are there any limits due to the semi open part? Or can we go crazy with ideas?

No limits as long as you're following the rules and have all required traits <3 (so, antennae, ears, tail, and a sweet theme) the "semi" part just comes from there being a distinction between official & community made designs + us not wanting others to make adopts for the species

Cool! Thank you so much!

sure! though it'd probably be more of an adoptive family type thing, since sweetshifter reproduction is a bit of an enigma... they can shapeshift to resemble each other though, so they can look related ^_^

SO CUTE! Be sure to share it on the event bulletin for a chance to be featured!! 

hi! i read the rules/FAQ but i didn't see any answer to this question so i wanted to know.. are we allowed to make sweetshifter versions of other pre-existing characters? (EDIT to clarify: i mean pre-existing ocs, not characters from pieces of media like anime or games or w/e!!)

yes, that's totally fine! you're more than welcome to turn pre-existing OCs into sweetshifters or give them a sweetshifter alternate form 😊 i'll put that in the FAQ, thank you for asking!!
