mission accomplished
The ridiculousness of this is genuinely funnier than any joke I can come up with. What is this, the pop psychology buzzword edition of Mortal Kombat? wtf is a Super Empath? Is there a Super Narcissist? Did they level up after gaining experience points? What are their power moves? Come on, I need answers.
Edit: living for this tag;
"I think I might have NPD" "No you don't dw :) people with NPD never question if they have NPD because they never self-refle-"
I genuinely think I have npd but i lowkey can't afford to pay big bucks to get an uptight dude in a blazer to question me for an hour just to tell me that I'll never have any meaningful relationships in my lifetime because I stupidly think i'm better than everyone else
okayyyy listen up people 📣📣📣 everyone can stop calling anyone they hate a narcissist now!! we're all done we're moving on to the next new thing: talking kindly about mentally ill people. alright, thanks for your time. pass the message along.
how do you start out with making a clangen blog? i wanna make one but i dont know where to start
like, what events do you decide are interesting enough?
how do you not burn out? so on
Long reply incoming! I hope this is helpful.
It's definitely different for everyone. I've been casually playing Clangen for like 3 years, and I've been reading Clangen blogs for a little less than that. I started taking notes on my Clangens for fun. When I decided to start my own Clangen blog, I found the document I'd kept on DaisyClan (I'd played and taken notes for about 50 moons at that point) and decided to continue with that one because I liked the stories and the characters that emerged, and I knew that the Clan wouldn't die out immediately (which sometimes happens with challenge playthroughs like DaisyClan's started as). I'd reccommend playing through a few moons and taking notes as you go before you commit to a specific Clangen save. This helps with motivation as well as story, because even if there's a lull moon or two, if you're always playing a bit ahead, you know what big interesting things are coming, and you can foreshadow or build up to them (in a plot way or with emotional beats) instead of having a totally random death, murder, etc.
My notes look something like this (no spoilers here):
I screenshot the cats when they join the Clan, and/or when they change appearance with age to remember their design, but also because it's easier than noting down their traits and age and names every time. There's probably a better way to do this but I'm quite technophobic lol. You'll never catch me delving into the code of the game, though lots of people do interesting stuff with that.
I also thumbnail about 15 pages ahead at a time. Here's an example from the last update:
As for what I think is most interesting, it's definitely easier the fewer cats there are because you can pay more attention to the relationships and dynamics instead of scouring for them when you have like 60 cats in the Clan, lol. I usually take note if a prompt or an event inspires an immediate image in my mind like the following:
Or a dialogue exchange (funny or serious or plot/character relevant) like the following:
But I also take note of prompts that reveal and build character or add to an ongoing plot thread.
And you can always take liberties if you want something to happen! Like, the second update for Moon 24 wasn't inspired by an event or prompt, but I felt it needed to happen for character development and to move the plot forward.
As for burnout, playing ahead definitely helps when you know there's big stuff to look forward to. And once you have an audience there's an incentive there. But I've only had this blog for three months! I haven't gotten bored yet but that's not to say I never will. I don't put pressure on myself to get pages out because as glad as I am that people are reading DaisyClan, I started this because it's fun for me. Once/if it ceases being fun, I'll take some time away or maybe stop for good (not unannounced).
I hope you go forward with your Clangen blog! The tumblr Clangen comic community is sooo welcoming and supportive to everyone, including newbies like me (though I'm not that new anymore lol).

future ivypool posts will be tagged #ivypool neg i guess 🥹
that way people stop coming onto MY post and complaining that actually 🤓☝️ ivypools experiences negates every bad thing shes ever done (it doesnt!)
the more ivypool fans try to argue that im wrong that she was awful to her sister the more i dislike ivypool. if you want me to like your precious character dont come to MY post about what i think about her and try to tell me im wrong! im not.
its so hypocritical cause i KNOW yall post about hating tigerheartstar too but you dont see me going onto your tigerheart post to say youre wrong do you
id literally like ivypool sm more if fans were normal and just acknowledged she was awful many times but nooooo thats too hateful!!!!
