New memories prompt!
Missed out on a seasonal trait you wanted? There's a new chance to earn one - just one! This prompt's difficulty is higher, but it's just one prompt to gain your seasonal trait. Are you ready?
Check it out!
Three raffles to enter!
Are you a FTO? Or do you like writing? If you just draw, that's okay too! We have a raffle for each of these categories!
Just click on the images below to be taken to their respective prompts.

We hope you love each design as much as we do.
✦ Final Festival (they will return!) ✦
As usual, look out for new seasonal pet boxes, three new seasonal traits, and the prompts to earn the festival currency!
This is our final one to reveal - we hope you have enjoyed each one! Of course, they will continue to return annually, so look forward to them! I heard there may be new traits in the winter as well...
And that's all for this month! We hope you are as excited as we are!
As always, feel free to comment or send us a message if you have any questions!
August Newsletter

✦ Happy August, Sushi Rolls! ✦
This month marks the last half of the Summer Starlight Festival, reveals the Art Fight Soosh Raffle Winners, and has news about the upcoming Sushi Dogs Anniversary! An entire decade of Sooshes - wow!
If you have any questions, please ask us in the community discord server. Enjoy!
✦ Art Fight Raffle Winners✦
Team Vampire Raffle Prize
Winner: Mooncyder
Team Werewolf Raffle Prize
Winner: Silvetz
These Sooshes are transferred to their new owners, and are on a month-long cooldown. Their pets are also character-bound, so they will always have their little friend... it's in their inventories!
Please give a special thanks to Tamurachii for offering to design these prizes last minute (seriously, I'm mildly terrified) just for an incentive for the community. We got a ton of entries this year so we hope the grind was fun for participating members!
✦ Summer Starlight Festival ✦
Of course, we need to show off the raffle prizes to make sure you guys know what you are aiming for!
It's also time to reveal the raffle prizes:
Team Drink
1st Place Prize: Sunrise Soda Sushi Dog
2nd Place: Sooshapon Token + 1 Summer Seasonal Trait Item
3rd Place: Haute Potion + Any Summer Pet Box
Team Food
1st Place Prize: Choco-dipped Banana Sushi Dog
2nd Place: Sooshapon Token + 1 Summer Seasonal Trait Item
3rd Place: Haute Potion + Any Summer Pet Box
These prizes are so summery, are they not? Hopefully we see some more fun seasonal traited Sooshes in the future!
Once the festival ends, we will be giving out patches for these findings:
Winning Team
Losing Team
Loyalists
Traitors
These patches are simply awards, so please do not be pressured to stick to a team if you want a chance at winning either Soosh. Do note that you can only win once, so you'll be granted the highest placed prize. Thanks so much everyone!
Keep an eye out sooshlings - seems like there's an abundance of Ocean Splashers washing up, so look out for surprise drops in the discord server! They are not confined to any channel, so keep an eye out in case you can take some extra event currency home. There does seem to be more pet boxes in the shop. Where did they come from?
✦ Soosh Sales ✦
Theme? Well, I think Sooshes are my favorite animal, but there are some other cool ones.
✦ 10 Years ✦
Since the summer festival takes place in August, the anniversary event will continue to take place in September.
Seems like there will be 10 Sooshes to show off all throughout September! You'll have to keep your eyes peeled every Monday and Friday.
These will all be auctions until the final, grand reveal! So if you're looking for a brand new Soosh to commemorate the anniversary, you better start planning!
Not exciting enough? Well... each Soosh do have a new trait from this past year of festivals. If you can't decide what you're looking for, maybe write a list of your favorite seasonal traits and look out for them!
Here are the artists participating:
aisu Alexdream12 Kyu linborghini Miizue
pudipon Rannarbananar Starkindler Staryon Tamurachii
As usual, we will also open up forms to make an Anniversary MYO soosh! This is a free Soosh you can design that is trade-locked to your account. Make a sentimental design, a Soosh form of an existing beloved OC, or a design that you find fun to draw for future art! Each account can have one ANN-XXX design, so if you have never made one yet feel free to start thinking up some ideas.
That's it for this newsletter - we hope this busy season continues to give you guys much excitement!
And that's all for this month! We hope you are as excited as we are!
As always, feel free to comment or send us a message if you have any questions!

Thanks so much again everyone, and thank you to the GAs that let this happen!
✦ Summer Starlight Festival ✦
The prompts are going live at 12pm! We ask that you stick to a Team this month, but if there is an obvious disbalance next month... maybe it'll be a good time to be a traitor to your team.
No worries though - more prompts will go live in August for the festival! Also, seems like there's supposed to be more pet boxes... what's that? You'll have to gift to a friend or foe? What could that even mean? Guess we'll find out!!
✦ Soosh Sales ✦
Otherwise, save you wallets for the mod batch or for another GA auction batch in August. We hope you love critters!
You might be asking if we already have a theme for this month's mod batch... personally I think it stinks!
✦ 10 Years ✦
Since the summer festival takes place in August, the anniversary event will continue to take place in September.
Everything is under wraps but we hope this decade is fun for everyone! We'll have more details as we get closer to it!
And that's all for this month! We hope you are as excited as we are!
As always, feel free to comment or send us a message if you have any questions!
June Newsletter
Posted 30 May 2023, 17:07:13 EDT :: Last edited 2 June 2023, 10:36:08 EDT by Staryon
✦ Happy Pride Month, Sushi Rolls! ✦
This month has our annual Summer DTE and the return of Adventures - we hope members have fun participating in this month's activities.
If you have any questions, please ask us in the community discord server. Enjoy!
✦ Summer DTE ✦
Alexdream12 , linborghini , Kyu , Rocco, and Tamurachii !
You can only win one, so if your name is raffled off as a winner for a Soosh and you win another, it will be rerolled! This is to ensure more users can win a Sushi Dog (or Cat!) of their own.
Good luck everyone!
Check out the DTE Prompts!
Raffle Prize Winners
The Spring Blossom Festival has concluded, and with that the raffle has been rolled. Congrats to these winners!
3rd Place: Sunset Buttercream Cake by Tamurachii
Won by: roxybirdie
2nd Place: Grande Matcha Latte by linborghini
Won by: AcuteExposure
1st Place Grand Prize: Spring Time Cake, Sushi Cat by aisu
Won by: LightWind
Thank you, everyone!
This past year has been packed with new events and happenings, and it makes our days when the community expresses how much they love them. We're getting close to finishing our first year of seasonal festivals - just two more to go!
We hope you continue to enjoy them all and look forward to the new traits and items that come with each one.
The current Holiday Shoppe will still be open for another week for any last-minute purchases for those who haven't decided on what they wanted! Raffle tickets have been removed as well.
✦ Summer Starlight Festival ✦
What team are you choosing?
I heard Zero exclaiming that his insides are powered by gamer juice. Not sure what that means exactly, but he seems quite passionate.
Look forward to it, everyone!
✦ New Adventure Prompt ✦
Seems like there's a damsel in distress... in a tower...? What exactly is going on here?!
Find out when the prompt goes live on site, and have fun using your magic to save those in need!
✦ Soosh Sales ✦
✦ Balancing Changes ✦
Specifically in this: writing changes and magic questline adjustments.
Writing minimum requirements have been adjusted to be a minimum of 1000 words. We had lowered this in the past for users who claimed writing that many words was far too much, but with the influx of written entries we see that this is an easier alternative to artwork. This was never our intention!
Writing was always meant to be inclusive for community members who did not draw or were not confident in their art abilities. This was never meant to be an easier alternative for artists. Thus, we determined that changes to writing requirements were necessary.
The requirements are laid out in the prompt guide page, so please read it over if you plan on submitting writings.
We love the passion but this overwhelmed us in times of events!
And that's all for this month! We hope you are as excited as we are!
As always, feel free to comment or send us a message if you have any questions!

✦ Happy May, Sushi Rolls! ✦
Back with another news update!
This is a bit of a slower month before we slam into Summer - which means we have plenty to look forward to.
If you have any questions, please ask us in the community discord server. Enjoy!
✦ Mid-Event Update ✦
Check out the Holiday Shoppe!
Raffle Prizes Reveal
This event has a few Sooshes that need rehoming! Thus, the raffle will have 3 winners in total - each winning a lovely Soosh.
3rd will get: Sunset Buttercream Cake by Tamurachii
2nd will get: Grande Matcha Latte by linborghini
1st will earn the Grand Prize: Spring Time Cake, a Sushi Cat by aisu !
This flowery soosh has the Sheer Bandana trait that you can earn in this event!
We hope that this raffle reveal brings more excitement to players who would rather earn Sooshes than traits during the event, or simply have reduced time and unable to grind for the seasonal traits this year. (#relatable)
Thank you, everyone!
This event was quite similar to our previous Snowfall event - just filled with way more sub quests and seasonal traits! No worries though... get ready to pick a side and fight for your honor in the Summer Starlight Festival beginning in July. Want to know the teams? Keep reading!
✦ Summer DTE ✦
The annual Summer DTE is happening next month! There will be 6 Sooshes up for grabs, with one being a Sushi Cat!
Remember, as this is a DTE, winners are just chosen at random. You can enter for every Soosh but only win one. This information is just a refresher so you can plan ahead if you want to participate.
There is one more thing - these sooshes are participating in the Team Fight for Summer Starlight Festival! I can't reveal too much yet, but it has to do with what you enjoy having at the table...
✦ Soosh Sales ✦
✦ Returning Activities ✦
Be on the lookout as he may sporadically host one randomly!
And that's all for this month! We hope you are as excited as we are!

✦ Happy April, Sushi Rolls! ✦
This month is the beginning of a brand new seasonal event packed with new traits and pets!
If you have any questions, please ask us in the community discord server. Enjoy!
✦ Soosh of the Month Break ✦
I will be putting this prompt on a break due to low entries every month. For those who entered in March - thank you! I will be getting into contact with each of you to give a separate prize as this is a last second change. I want to take suggestions on how to make this prompt more thrilling and desirable for users, so please let me know in the discord server or down below what you'd like changed!
✦ Spring Blossom Festival ✦
Happy beginning of Spring Blossom Festival, Sooshes!
Woah - seems like there is a massive flower overgrowth problem?! And... flowers coming to life? What is going on?
Figure out by participating in the event questline and solving the mystery in the sub quests!
Gain our new event currency, Petals 
, by participating in these event limited prompts for the duration of April and May and spend them in the Holiday Shoppe for special seasonal items that can only be found at this time of the year!
✦ GA Sales Return! ✦
Sorry for the delay - with Kayy's life duties swallowing up her time, I've been allowed to take over GA sales and will resume posting them on Saturdays!
Thus, the first sale starts today:
Shortbread Flower Cookies
This lovely collab design by Flufflebear and Ponkochi is an auction open for two days - please take a peek and good luck bidding!

✦ Happy March, Sushi Rolls! ✦
This month is a bit relaxed before we roll into the new season. Enjoy the break and prepare for our next seasonal event in April!
If you have any questions, please ask us in the community discord server. Enjoy!
✦ Soosh of the Month! ✦
Month of March
Bibimbap
Owned by Robotic-Sparks
Remember, you could be featured next month by drawing the above soosh!
✦ Events Ending ✦
The Holiday Shoppe will remain open until March 7th; the frozen tickets will no longer be purchaseable after the raffle is rolled on the 2nd so don't forget to grab those before then!
These prompts will end after the 7th, so please check them out before they go!
On a similar note - there is no estimated hiring date for the mod applications. This is a lengthy process that requires numerous steps on our end, so we appreciate patience for anyone who has applied. We look forward to every application!
✦ Season of Spring ✦
Similar to Snowfall Festival, this event will have main quests and subquests to earn some event currency for some new items and prizes!
We hope you look forward to it!
And that's all for this month! We hope you are as excited as we are!
As always, feel free to comment or send us a message if you have any questions!
February Newsletter
Posted 30 January 2023, 17:38:35 EST :: Last edited 1 February 2023, 12:27:05 EST by Staryon
✦ Happy February, Sushi Rolls! ✦
Back with another news update!
This one is packed with info that we feel may be important to the community such as: Return of the Soosh (of the Month), Mid-Event Update for Snowfall Festival, Nitro Booster Perks, a "Sweet" Holiday next month, and more details about the mod restructuring! (P.S. We are hiring!)
Please scroll down to read more!
If you have any questions, please ask us in the community discord server. Enjoy!
✦ Return of the Soosh (of the Month)! ✦
Due to not having the prompt to raffle off of, I raffled every single prompt entry done by January 30th to find a winner for February!
Peppermint Popcorn
Owned by CarrsCrap
Remember, you could be featured next month by drawing the above soosh!
✦ Mid-Event Update ✦
During all of the commotion, it seems like Festival Cookie and Festival Zero found a forgotten gift for you! (Or maybe it was just misplaced in the chaos...)
Check out the Holiday Shoppe!
Writing is now allowed!
Sorry - when creating the event we had been so distracted that we did not realize writing requirements were left out of the prompts!
We have rectified this for the mid-event update (once we clarified if we had a mod ready to read your writings). We hope this allows more members to fully participate in the event!
The prompts already state the requirements, but as a refresher: Writings must be 500 words at the minimum. You can get a writing bonus of +50 Carats if you write 1000 words! Character bonuses also apply to writing, so you can earn an extra few Candycanes as well.
Raffle Prize Reveal
We know many have been wondering what the Snowfall Raffle was for; we wanted to gauge the participation in the event before fully settling on prizes and you guys did so well we added 5 more prizes to the pool! This means there will be six winners overall.
6th and 5th will win: a Haute Potion! 
4th and 3rd will win: a Sooshapon Token! 
2nd will win: an Enchanted Bell! 
1st will earn the Grand Prize: the Snowdeer Cake Sushi Dog!
This winter-ful soosh has the Magic Aura trait that you can earn in this event!
We hope that this raffle reveal brings more excitement to players who did not have a set plan for their candycanes.
Thank you, everyone!
This event was a team effort behind the scenes. There may have been a few hiccups but we are very thankful to see how excited our community has been, and admiring all of the prompt entries that you guys have put so much love into!
We hope you can look forward to more events in the future.
✦ Nitro Booster Perks ✦
We have been doing Nitro Booster Perks in the discord server for over a year, and found consistent members partaking in them (thank you)!
It required a few test perks that have been shifted and adjusted over the year, but as of now we can officially state the perks we are sticking with:
If you use 1 boost on the server, you get 3 Koinpeito 
every month you boost!
If you use 2 boosts on the server, you get 5 Koinpeito every month!
Lastly: You will gain a free event item when events are running! January was the Pet Box item.
As an extra bonus, every nitro booster gains access to themed Your-Soosh-Here bases created by Staryon - this is always available to any and everyone who boosts.
Consider these monthly perks as a passive income for the site!
Boosts allow our server to have a banner (and thus hold banner contests), as well as gaining us new emote and sticker slots.
We even have a custom url!
The discord server is the hub to everything Sooshes, so check it out!
✦ Mod Restructuring ✦
Kayy explained last month about the restructuring.
This was an overdue task to reassign mod duties as we find ourselves growing older and gaining new responsibilities in our lives.
(You're not the only ones growing up, Sushi Rolls!)
This should make the group run far smoother than before.
We do apologize for the delays and unanswered inquiries the community has dealt with in the past. Our focus is always on the community's enjoyment of our cute food species, so we hope you can feel as cherished as you are!
You'll find that the redesign queue is reopened, and also more consistency in other site workings including the newsletter!
The other mods have been doing wonderfully in their new roles, so be sure to thank them in sticking with us as we continue to adjust to our different needs.
Now Hiring!
We just needed January to test out these new duties and see what may be missing.
And well... we're in need of one more mod!
We are looking for a new approval mod; this mod will work under Rannarbananar to help approve MYOs, redesigns, and update appraisals.
This task isn't as easy as it sounds - you'll need to be knowledgeable on our traits, theme allowances, and learn how to appropriately appraise any and all Sooshes!
It can be daunting at first but we believe anyone can do it. You'll be trained for the role, and will gladly answer any and all questions you will have regarding the approval process. Just click the button below to find the mod application; we look forward to hearing from you!
Join the Team!
✦ Something Sweet in the Air... ✦
Wait - I think both works?
And that's all for this month! We hope you are as excited as we are!
As always, feel free to comment or send us a message if you have any questions!

✦ Happy New Year Sushi Rolls! ✦
After a much-needed break, our mod team is back in action! There have been a few changes to the site and we hope that you like them. I will be breaking down each change in the below sections, but first, a teaser for our next event!
✦ Enchanted Mirror ✦
To surrender a soosh to the mirror, please click "Submit" and then "Surrender." Please allow up to 5 days for your soosh to be accepted, and make sure you submit their toyhouse to Pommelraie as well!
There are a ton of new sooshes for you to buy, including ones to buy with mirror shards now!
✦ Winter Snowfall Festival ✦
✦ Website Updates ✦
Mod Structure
Pommelraie’s Salon
Introducing the newest addition to Pommelraie’s salon; the Redesign Kit!
This kit is available for 1000
or 10, and acts as a tonic bypass for your new redesign! If you plan on using more than two tonics, this item is required. We know that our tonic system was a bit confusing, for both the community and the mod team! We hope that this new item relieves stress on both ends when completely overhauling a design! Additional items will still be needed in addition, if you plan on upgrading traits.Species Structure
Please note that verbiage is still be updating across the site, so please hang tight while things are revised.
Species Guides
This page will be a much more familiar layout of common closed species guides and hopefully will be more useful for new members. Hang tight, it’s coming!
What’s that?
And that's all for this month! We hope you are as excited as we are!
As always, feel free to comment or send us a message if you have any questions!
