Welcome to HavenClan!

[START HERE]

.

.

Hello, and welcome to my clangen blog! I’m the sole admin, Asmo (any prns), and welcome!

If any of you have seen this intro post before, it’s probably from my old attempt at creating a clangen blog on this acc (which I ultimately scrapped because of school + I just wasn’t satisfied with what I was making). So, here I am with attempt #2! I’m gonna try and work through this blog differently than I did last time lol

As I mentioned in my previous intro post, this blog isn’t a serious thing, so most likely, updates will be sporadic. I may gain sudden inspiration and post multiple times per month, other times I probably won’t post for several months so, if you aren’t deterred by this, I hope you enjoy my silly little clan and their silly little lives <3

Anyways, let’s get introductions for the lore + founders out of the way!

[TLDR; HavenClan was once a superior, thriving clan before Twolegs looking to rescue strays and put them in shelters barrel into camp one day and force the survivors to relocate to the beach, where they have to rebuild from scratch.]

As per a usual clangen blog, my ask box is always open for questions directed at any of the cats in HavenClan, as well as myself :]

Starting Allegiances

💫 CometClan: Moon 0

•

[WARNING: This post contains allusions pertaining to the idea of kitten mills, animal abuse/neglect, and death. Reader discretion is advised.]

•

CometClan was not borne out of remarkable or fortunate circumstances. In the heart of a sparse Twoleg-town stood a single house, a cage wherein innocent strays were bred and traded off. Their masters, two middle-aged Twolegs, orchestrated the entire operation, leaving cats victimized and pleading for their freedom. It certainly didn’t help that their masters were negligent and cruel.

There was never enough food. Birthing queens were left to fend for themselves, even as they bled out on the carpeted floor of their cramped living space. Those who were foolish enough to attempt escape were met by their masters’ hands, leaving them bruised, yet obedient.

Elm wondered what awaited him after bearing witness to countless deaths and emotional collapses. Starvation? Trauma inflicted by his masters? Fighting over who was allowed to drink out of the weekly-replenished water bowl first? This was not living. Elm refused to rot in this prison forever. But, with escape being too risky, all he could do was watch the world turn from their singular window and pray for a sign that something— anything —would change.

A strange light flickered in the night sky. Elm’s eyes burned as a massive star shot across the dark expanse in a blaze of glorious light. It disappeared beyond the horizon mere seconds later, a muted thud rattling the desk he was perched on.

There could be no clearer sign than this.

Elm had to accept that he could not save everyone. Instead, he chose to bring along those who still had a chance of a brighter future: Cinder (who tiptoed the line between child and adult), and the only three kits who had yet to be sold off (Oreo, Cooper, and Lake).

It was easy to convince them of his plan— Lake and Cooper had lost their parents and no longer held any ties to this cursed place, while Cinder and Oreo were already neglected by their still-living kin. Elm knew his plan was reckless and idiotic, but he would rather die attempting to earn back his freedom than live with the knowledge that he gave up.

Elm’s plan was put into motion the following night.

When the house grew dark and the remainder of cats tucked themselves in, Elm quietly ushered his small entourage into the kitchen, where a single window sat cracked open just enough for the cats to sneak away undetected. They had no time to stop and stare in awe at the outside world; their sights were now set on locating the fallen star.

Eventually, after a long and perilous journey into the wilderness, Elm successfully led the group to their new home. This was their calling.

The night they settled into their new environment and laid their weary paws to rest, each cat was visited in their dreams by a crowd of ghostly strangers, starlight weaving through their translucent fur and eyes shining as brilliantly as the blazing star.

“This is only the beginning,” the spirits declared synchronously. Elm and his party were destined to build a renowned clan from the rubble of their past life, and join forces with others like them who’ve dedicated themselves for much longer.

From then on, they were “CometClan”.

Their name would honor the message that saved them, as well as their devotion to regain the autonomy they had been stripped of.

May StarClan reward their loyalty for eternity.

[I finally locked in and finished this omg. Anywho, for those who have read my introduction post, welcome to my new blog! My other clan has kinda been put on the back burner for right now, so I’ve been playing this clan a lot recently, and wanna try experimenting with incorporating both art and writing into each post. I hope y’all stick around!]

[My goodness I finally finished this lmao. Told you they were gonna be inconsistent. Anywho, I changed the font for the text to see if that makes it easier to read, so I hope y’all can see it better! Moon 5 is honestly gonna take a while cause shit goes DOWN, so I’m probably gonna be inactive unless I receive some more asks. See y’all later!!]

[haven-clan-blog]

Sorry for not updating in almost a month, the night needed me /j 🤭

Fr though, March has been an absolutely shitty month for a multitude of reasons, and at this point I’m honestly just hoping to get through April without any complications

I also hope to restore my motivation to draw again once I’m not worrying over one thing or another, so I promise, eventually an update will come out trust 🙏

Anyways, I hope y’all are having a better month than I am, and I’ll see y’all soon!! <3

[Short moon today, because this was the only interesting thing that happened lol. I’m ngl, I re-used the background of my prior Moon 3 update from my previous attempt at this blog and just redrew Sunstar and Asterghost because I’m actually kinda proud of it! I hope you like it as much as I do 😎 anyways, them <3]

[haven-clan-blog]

🧹Sunstar?

Sunstar:

🧹(Favorite and least favorite clan task/chore/patrol?)

A: Usually, leaders don’t perform chores in camp (that’s mainly the responsibility of apprentices and younger warriors), but Sunstar is a lot more proactive than most leaders. No task is necessary ‘fun’ to do, but she thinks tidying up dens is easy. The monotony of changing bedding, replacing dried herbs so the dens smell nicer, and making sure each den is free of cracks or damage is definitely a reprieve from her usual duties, and she usually performs it alone diligently, unless one of her clanmates volunteers to help.

Her least favorite task is a hard pick, as she really isn’t one to complain, but the most unpleasant would have to be leading search and/or rescue patrols. After being promoted, Sunstar has definitely wired herself up about encouraging safety over menial tasks, so the moment one of her clanmates turns up missing or injured enough to need several clanmates to rescue them, she feels that familiar panic creep up and override her rationale. She doesn’t like the fact that her heart won’t stop racing for a few days afterward either.

[haven-clan-blog]

I’d like to ask coppershell, 🎯 What do their life goals look like? Deputy, Leader, Medcat, a family? Also related and unrelated how are they feeling about mothpaws unfortunate death?

Coppershell:

🎯(What do their life goals look like? Deputy, leader, med cat, a family?)

A: He’s still pretty young, so he hasn’t really given it much thought, but I think for the time being he’s focused on improving himself and becoming a better warrior HavenClan can rely on. The incident with the Twolegs definitely changed him for the better— before, he was a young, troublesome apprentice who would always goof off with the other apprentices, but now, he’s a lot more responsible and realized that actually providing for his clanmates was a very noble thing to do. So, for now, he just wants to set his sights on patrols and preparing himself for when he gets his own apprentice, though in the future, he may not be opposed to the idea of becoming deputy or starting a family.

Also, he’s… hanging in there. I think like the rest of the clan, Coppershell is still lamenting over the fact that Mothpaw will never get to experience the second chance HavenClan was given after the incident, and it’s a harrowing thing to think about. Also, her death really put his envy last moon into perspective, and he realized it was a bit immature of him to think that way when Mothpaw never asked to be targeted by an enemy patrol when she was still fresh out of the nursery. Otherwise, though, they weren’t actually that close.

for sunstar: ⚡️🪲

for fiercefang: 🌳🐾

for the clan: 📜🌟

for the world: 🐇🪴

for you: ⏩✏️

sorry there are so many! i love your style and the backstory for your clan is so fun!

-boughclan-clangen

OMG HIII you don’t know how happy I am that someone’s interested in my blog <33 submit as much as you want, I love talking about my kitties

I also love your art style, I’ve never seen anyone do a clangen challenge with winged cats before!!

Sunstar:

⚡️(Special powers or abilities?)

A: Unfortunately, Sunstar is a pretty boring leader and isn’t anymore connected to StarClan or ‘magic’ than Asterghost is. In my universe, cats have the same abilities that they can get in clangen (omen finder, dream walker, ghost sight, etc), but Sunstar is a normal kitty :]

🪲(What do they value the most?)

A: This is a pretty tough question, as she was practically thrown headfirst into the leader position when HavenClan was formed, and is still trying to gain her bearings with everything. But, after handling the clan for a few moons, her value and need for honesty has definitely increased. She can’t afford for something bad to happen to her clanmates again because someone wasn’t being truthful, or another cat’s harmful actions were swept under the rug.

Fiercefang:

🌳(What does their family tree look like?)

A: When it comes to the prior members of BloomClan, I don’t actually have any that exist as references, but I like to think that Fiercefang’s tree is filled with a lot of toms! He has two uncles on his father’s side and one on his mother’s side, and when his mother died early in his childhood, his father ended up becoming mates with, you guessed it, a tom who helped him through his grief. Fiercefang was the only kitten in his litter, but growing up in the nursery, he was surrounded by other tom-kits he would roughhouse with.

So, long story short, he’s never really had a strong female influence in his life (though that doesn’t mean he respects women any less) 😎

🐾(What do they think of nearby clans/groups?)

A: Fiercefang probably holds the highest regard for DownClan, as under Fluffystar’s leadership, they’ve definitely mellowed out and haven’t caused any problems for HavenClan since they came to the beach. LeopardClan and LarchClan are on neutral terms with HavenClan, and Fiercefang sometimes has cordial conversations with their fellow deputies before Gatherings.

Fiercefang is the most wary of MumbleClan, particularly their leader Sharpstar, who’ll show up in a future update (small hint, Fiercefang has a very good reason to distrust MumbleClan) ;)

HavenClan:

📜(How does your clan’s warrior code differ from other clans?)

A: How strictly or leniently the clan follows the warrior code heavily depends on who is leader, not so much StarClan’s influence. HavenClan follows the same codes as the other clans, including the medicine cat code, but a few rules may not be followed as heavily, or loopholes may be exploited. For example, Sunstar is a naturally strict leader— mainly out of fear of disappointing her clanmates and StarClan —so significant rules such as helping any kit in need regardless of origin and who should be fed first are heavily enforced. This also applies to the medicine cat code— in Sunstar’s case, she doesn’t condone medicine cats breaking the code, and will shun any if it means setting an example. Meanwhile, another leader (such as Fluffystar, for example) may be much more lenient and even encouraging towards healers having a mate and kits.

A leader’s view on the warrior code greatly influences the behavior the rest of the clan shows regarding said code. However, at the end of the day, it’s StarClan who judges a cat’s actions, and decides whether or not they’re worthy of joining their ranks or being sent to the Place of No Stars.

🌟(Which cat has the strongest StarClan/Dark Forest connections?)

A: Out of the cats currently in the clan, I’d have to say Asterghost which, yeah I know generic answer, but none of the other cats really have that ‘spark’. Sunstar may have been picked by StarClan to be HavenClan’s new leader, but she isn’t really in communication with them, not like the medicine cat. Also, Asterghost has been a full-time healer for a LOOONG time, so it makes sense he’s more in-tune to omens, dreams and messages from StarClan than others.

World:

🐇(What are typical prey you’d find in the territory? Rare or unusual prey?)

A: I had to do some research for this question lol. Since a huge part of their territory consists of tide pools and the beach, it’s easy to find animals like crabs, shorebirds, fish, and clams/scallops to hunt, though younger cats are warned to stay away from other beach visitors like seals and sea lions, as their size and resistance to injury makes them formidable opponents. Rarely, birds like storks and herons may visit the beach too, which require some teamwork to kill, but it’s worth it as they’re considered delicacies. In regards to the stretches of other territories they share with the other clans, such as the outskirts of the nearby forest and moorland, you’d find prey you’d typically expect, like mice, birds, rabbits, and squirrels, though they aren’t hunted as often.

🪴(What herbs are most important to your med cats? Rare or magical herbs unique to your world?)

A: Asterghost doesn’t prioritize one herb over another, as he believes all herbs are important, but there are a few that are very limited in their territory. Rosemary, sea lavender, and borage are a few such examples. Fortunately, he’s able to find a lot more herbs further away from the beachside, but when push comes to shove, he won’t hesitate to cross borders if any of his clanmates are in trouble. As for any rare of magical herbs, afraid you won’t find any here.

Asmo (Myself!):

⏩(How far ahead do you play in clangen? How far ahead do you draw/write?)

A: So, HavenClan has actually been alive for a long time lol! I created it in-game earlier last year, and I’m currently on moon 60 I think? So I have a lot of catching up to do, but having so much knowledge of the future makes me anticipate y’all’s reactions to future subplots and characters 👀 If I eventually catch up to where I left off, then I’d probably play 5 or so moons ahead before starting on any drawings just in case clangen throws any curveballs at me.

✏️(Who’s your favorite character to draw/write?)

A: This will definitely change in the future, but I’m forced to pick between my current cats, so I’d probably say my favorite to draw is Asterghost (cause he’s a grumpy emo guy yk), and my favorite to write is a tie between Blazefoot and Iciclespots. Blazefoot is just a very laid back cat who seems to have the solution to everything, and there will be countless examples of her being a supportive, strong, and badass warrior 😎

I know the cats aren’t very fleshed out yet, but imo, Iciclespots is very underrated in terms of her life. When I rebooted my story, I definitely tried including her more into events and such in my notes, cause I wanted to give each of my cats a chance to have their own dilemmas and experiences, and not simply be a background character to eventually die off. Granted, her life isn’t the most interesting, but that’s the best part: I can mold her into someone that my audience may like or relate to :]

[haven-clan-blog]

I wasn’t expecting so many asks so quickly, thank y’all so much for the support on my series!!!

I’m happy to know that y’all are interested in my (frankly kinda boring) clan 🥹

Who knows, I’ll probably reblog it again in the future lol

MOON 2 (NEWLEAF)

•

•

If Mothpaw’s learned anything, it’s that everything she ever loved or cared about was fleeting. Even her own life was transient— as much as it pained her to think of her own mortality, there will come a day when she’ll find herself under the claws of an enemy warrior, or swept away by something as mundane as old age. It wasn’t pleasant, but that was life. Each cat lived simply to experience, and feel, and love.

Mothpaw reassured herself that she had countless moons ahead of her, but unfortunately, the universe had a habit of deceiving those hopeful for a fulfilled and peaceful existence.

[Second moon complete! Just as a heads up, most of my regular updates will be on the word-y side, just cause I have so much to say about my silly little clan and can’t find it in me to trim anything down 😋 I’m sorry if it’s a bit difficult to read even after making it fullscreen. I’m open to suggestions on how to tweak things here and there for a better reading experience!]

[haven-clan-blog]

A new update should be comin’ tomorrow‼️

It’s gonna be a little word-y cause that’s the only way I feel like I can convey the emotion behind each event, so I hope y’all don’t mind :’]

Anyways, here a little sneak peek of Fiercefang being low-key afraid of his medicine cat

[haven-clan-blog]

MOON 1 (NEWLEAF)

•

•

With the colder temperatures gradually dissipating, paving the way for newleaf showers, what little cats remained did their best to return to a sense of normalcy. The memories of their lost clanmates weighed heavy on everyone’s minds, creating a palpable tension that stirred as resentment festered. It was truly unfair how the universe was capable of creating life, but could just as easily take it away.

[Yippee first post! I definitely tinkered around with the formatting, and for the time being, updates will probably look like this unless y’all have some advice on how to make it better or easier to read. I’m not excited to draw backgrounds in the future for some of my denser updates, but this blog is all about challenging myself so— I hope you all are excited for future posts!]
