TW BODY HORROR, EYESTRAIN, BRIGHT LIGHTS, EYE CONTACT
I recently read Cryptid Sightings by @naffeclipse, and decided to do some fanart of when Y/N discovered what Sun and Moon really are. Design of Eclipse belongs to @themeeplord, go check them out!
Cant get this meme out of my head its so funny to me, original meme by @naffeclipse as well as being the owner of Sleuth Jesters, Cryptid Sightings, and In Deep Dreams Between the Waves.
Credits to the lovely @themeeplord for Cryptid Eclipse and Mer Eclipse designs which I hold so very dearly.
It’s been a hot minute since I’ve posted here—not out of a lack of want, but more out of a lack of motivation. In that time, though, I’ve been testing out art styles, trying to find one that’s more horror-centric. So that’s what I have here!
Most of these are (naturally) from @naffeclipse, both Cryptid Sightings and Apex Polarity. They will never leave my brain <3
HAPPY BIRTHDAY @naffeclipse!!! Happy Birthday to you, one of our very favourite writers in this wholesome fandom!! ☀️🌙
You have gathered hundreds of people around your exciting stories, making us hold our breath each time we read a new chapter you post. You inspire each of us to create our own stories, drawings, animations, to bring something of our own to this fandom. And you helped us find new mutual friends within it, with whom we may sometimes chat for hours on end. You yourself have become one of said mutual friends and it is always such a pleasure to write to you!
You are simply fantastic and we all sincerely wish you the best Birthday that one could have, knowing that you bring so much joy and inspiration to others!
// All credits and more under the cut! Please, do take a look! :) //
Unfortunately, we could not invite all the people who appreciate your writings to participate in this collaboration, as much as we wanted to. This was our first time organizing something like this, and we needed to limit the number of people. But, Naff, I think you yourself know very well that there are hundreds of people in this fandom who sincerely love you and your work and that this art piece would be much bigger if all of them took part in it :)
And on that note, a huge thank you to everyone who agreed to participate! Regardless of busyness and time zone differences, we all worked together and were able to finish this wonderful art piece!

Post fire au y/n meets Cryptid Hunter y/n because it would literally be the most perfect crossover ever. I can't get enough of y/nverse
Copper is a caretaker with kids. Struggling. Protective energy rn. Mechanic. Traumatized. They are practically already besties with cryptid eclipse and hunter. Eclipse is a cryptid caretaker who adores children to the point he'll kill rulebreakers who hurt them. Hunter is traumatized and has lots of hero complex stuff going on which honestly I think Copper would relate to the hero complex stuff a lot.
TLDR: They'd get along.
Or at least have fun interactions along the way.
Post fire au characters are from @paper-lilypie (hopefully tumblr actually notifies you of this @ this time)
and cryptid sightings characters from @naffeclipse
Some spoilers for Cryptid Sightings but I think it's just really minor stuff
Much more under the cut :)
If they met after Hunter knew that Cryptid Eclipse was a cryptid all along, they wouldn't be worrying about how destroyed their sweetie's animatronic vessel are when they visit.
So. Cryptid Sun and Moon go after rulebreakers who harm children n stuff. Post fire sun and moon. Have blood covered hands.
The moment they realize. They better book it before Copper's boo is torn to shreds
Meanwhile Cryptid Moon is just having fun with the kids because you know they'd get along
Explosion noises in their minds rn this is so cool they are literally meeting a cryptid woah
Maes is a little more nervous but since Cryptid Moon isn't acting scary right now it's okay
oop
Since post fire au Sun and Moon still got some virus issues in the beginning, their status was debatable. The more time Cryptid Eclipse spends around them, the more they recognize they're gulity lol
Cryptid Eclipse may be the kids new uncle but he's not allowed to beat up their favorite dads.
And lastly some interactions I think would definitely happen:
And lastly some interactions I think would definitely happen
Also, Hunter would think Post Fire Sun and Moon are so cool since they are actual animatronics with advanced ai like WOAH
ALSO I didn't get around to drawing it since my eyes hurt like heck rn BUT with the amount of love both y/ns get from their boys, they'd relate to each other in that way as well
Recently Finished Sleuth Jesters! Absolutely adore this fic, the story, the characters, the writing!!! AAA all so wonderful and that last chapter... man.
You read right! I made book covers for Cryptid Sighting. I didn’t have alot to do in school and it was good practice as I am in a design school where I learn to do this kind of thing.
However! After some research (quik google search) turns out the average book has 90.000 words. Cryptid Sighting has 260.000~. So of course I had to make three covers.
Stating with number 1
Next number 2 each cover has its own summary
Last but not least number 3 the thing that took the longes was the wirting and getting everthying in its proper place.
And the back to backs.
plus the original files which I made.
At this point I dont think I have to say that Cryptid Sighting is made by @naffeclipse
Hey Naff! I just saw the ask about what Cryptid y/n would be and your response about a mothman one, and I present to you something I just thought would be really funny:
Following along the delicious obliviousness of the main fic, mothperson y/n just not having that sixth sense all cryptids have that lets them detect other cryptids or even demons. So they find the "abandoned animatronic" and feel bad about their vulnerability and obviously burnt state (plus are drawn to the glow of their eyes!) and approach asking if they might need help. They know this forest like the back of their hand, it would be no problem directing them somewhere a human settlement could help them!
Meanwhile the boys are internally like ?? are they not? Afraid? Why is this other supernatural entity talking so casually to a demon, can they not feel what they are?
And y/n is just like all proudly declaring how they are a very good hunter (of what they eat) and well respected in the woods and how nobody will get away with hurting them as long as the local mothperson watches over them, and smiles at them just super earnestly.
And so amused they just go along with it. Wondering when they'll eventually realize what they're dealing with. Because surely they will sense it soon, right? But then they don't, and Eclipse no longer wants them to, because this cryptid can very much fly away, and they find themselves really not wanting that to happen the more time they spend together.
Heya, babe! About this post, EEEE, I LOVE THIS! Oblivious Y/N strikes again in mothperson form!
That's so sweet to think of the possessed animatronic's pale eyes becoming a familiar and welcomed light in mothperson Y/N's life, and how easily they seek out the boys with their glow. It's also a bit of a strange role reversal with Y/N sleeping during the day and fluttering around at night.
Gah, I love the boys' confusion, too! They're not necessarily concerned or hostile towards another cryptid, expecting this one to become aware that they're much, much more dangerous than what their vessel appears as, so they certainly don't expect this polite offer from the mothperson to help them hide in the woods.
Then promising to protect them. That's new. Eclipse has no idea how to take the rather sweet cryptid except to follow them into their woods.
I imagine there are a few moments where the boys almost trip themselves up when Y/N returns with a varmint for their dinner and happens to not eat the heart. Either Sun or Moon almost comments about them wasting the best part of the innards before—whoops gotta keep that to themselves.
OH OH AND ANOTHER THING mothperson Y/N believes that they're the tol in the relationship friendship because the animatronic doesn't pass their feathery antennae in height, only to be proved very very wrong when Eclipse finally emerges and is taller than them.
