FAQ
Q: Is there somewhere I can easily read your comic in order?
A: Yes! Check out our ComicFury! You don’t need a ComicFury account in order to read it, and if you want, you can use that to catch up and come right back here <3
Q: Is your clangen modded?
A: Nope! The actual sprites of the characters are normal, but my own creative liberties turn them into sparklecats. That’s why you’ll see Pearlstar with pink and gold and sky blue markings in the pages, but not in his sprite.
Q: Are the background/side characters available for questioning?
A: Yes! You just might not get an answer if I don’t actually have anything written down for their character and therefore nothing to share. Most of the time background npcs are just meaningless background npcs and they don’t even have names lol.
Q: Can I have a reference sheet for [kit/apprentice character]?
A: Nope! I finish and release character reference sheets when they’re adults. It’s significantly less tedium for me to not have to create 3 different ref sheets for their different stages of life. Sometimes there are rare exceptions to the rules (like if a character dies before they turn 12 moons old), but I’d prefer if you didn’t pressure me into making any.
Q: Will we be seeing more of [background/side character]? What about the other clans? Will you be drawing more of [character]? Do you have any plans to make [thing] happen? Is [thing] going to happen? Is [character] planning on doing [thing]? (and other similar questions)
A: I literally cannot answer any of these questions! Because that would be spoilers! I appreciate you being interested in the story, but if you want to find out what happens next, you’re going to have to be patient and wait for a future update. I’m not going to spoil my entire webcomic before I get the chance to tell it lol. If I have plans to show more of a character, then they will appear in the webcomic itself. I usually get a lot of comments asking to see more of a background character whenever I introduce them, or even characters that have never shown up in the webcomic and don’t exist in the webcomic at all but people still assume they must exist by proxy (like the parents of another character, the other clans/cat colonies in the region, etc), and unfortunately there is a pretty effective rule of thumb that applies to this question every time. If they are a background character, it usually means I don’t have anything else for them! If I’ve got juicy ideas in mind for a character, it’ll either appear in the comic itself, or potentially in a side comic, which unfortunately means the answer to your question is “you’ll find out in due time! ;)” lol.
Q: Is the dark brown and red emo cat in the background of a panel in Interlude: Reunion Part 6 Nimble’s sire/bio dad?
A: No. That was a cameo character from my Cult of the Lamb fan OC comic. They’re a Cult of the Lamb oc I repurposed to use as a background cameo, along with a bunch of other sparklecat and emo cat ocs I have on hand. They’re not Nimble’s father. They have no relation to any character in Aphidclan and have NO relevance in the Aphidclan plot or storyline at all, they’re just a background cameo
Boundaries -
-Please don’t be parasocial with me. I’m not an object, or an influencer, or an item to put on a pedestal. I’m a human person with flaws, mistakes, responsibilities, and a life behind the screen, not something to objectify or idealize or be treated like a content factory or corporation. I’m just a guy here to draw cats for fun! Also, don’t demand art from me or demand for updates to come out sooner. It can often come off as very rude/impolite!
-Don’t make human designs of my characters. I’d prefer to do that myself if I ever get around to it
-You are allowed to make headcanons of my characters! Just please be respectful with them and don’t act entitled about them. Especially please be culturally respectful, don’t whitewash any of my characters, don’t make my chubby characters skinny, don’t make my trans characters cisgender, etc. just please be kind with them. Please understand and remember the heavy distinction between headcanon and canon and don’t push me to make your headcanons reality. For me, my own canon comes first.
-Taking inspiration from my work is completely okay! As is fan content (art/writing/animations/etcetera), pinging me for fan content, etc. As long as you’re not plagiarizing or obviously copying my work and crediting me when credit it is due, chances are I’m not gonna have a problem with it 👍
-You are allowed to ping me! Don’t spam me excessively obviously lol, but you are allowed to ping me!
If you behave bigotedly, violate my boundaries, or otherwise make me uncomfortable, I have the right to block you! I’m always open to criticism and advice (and I do appreciate it! I may not respond or prefer to speak privately/one-on-one, but I do still keep it all in mind and cherish/try to use any advice I get), but if you act like an asshole or a bigot, I reserve the right to block you 👍
