Sneak peeks for future updates 👀

Mothgrowl tells romantic stories to Ghoststar.

"I heard that Frecklestar even dug Honeypool her own private cave for the two of them to sleep! Imagine having your leader make you a den with their own paws...I think that den is still somewhere near the edge of the territory, if you ever wanted to send a patrol to find it."

"Mmhm..."

Hailthrush gets their tail mangled by a strange fox.

Eggkit asks Blizzardpaw where kits come from.

Mothgrowl feels a presence join her.

Mothgrowl had always loved Newleaf. The long-awaited sound of birds singing and the warmth of sunlight on her fur always calmed her nerves, as if the world was coming back to life after a cold, dead winter.

She raised her head and took a deep breath, letting the smell of blooming flowers, fresh green leaves, and the distant trail of passing squirrels and rabbits wash over her senses. She always liked to take her first official patrol of Newleaf alone, to soak in each moment at her own pace and get away from the weight of her responsibilities, even if just for a moment. Of course, her clan came before her relaxation, but what was the harm in enjoying the day when she wasn't needed?

She exhaled slowly, gently, purring softly as she shook herself a bit and scanned her surroundings. She'd already looked around the sparsely wooded patch closer to camp and didn't find anything to harvest just yet-she knew the importance of letting herbs grow a bit this time of year all too well. A search of the denser foliage wouldn't hurt, especially since most predators would still be in their dens at this hour.

It was only a few tail-lengths into the thick forest when something caught her eye, her tail flicking curiously as she padded across the fallen leaves. A small sprout poked out from a spot between two trees, lighter green than the grass around it. Mothgrowl leaned down, carefully cupping it with one paw to sniff at it.

Hm...maybe an elder bush? That could prove very helpful once it was grown, her stock was beginning to run low...

She glanced up.

The Shadow stood tall, motionless, as rigid as the trees around it. Its drooping, pale eyes bore into her from every angle, leaving nowhere safe from its gaze, no respite from its presence. Its form wavered and flickered, like a misty, half forgotten memory, though the grass bent under its paws the same as any other living cat.

Mothgrowl raised her head, fur standing on end and legs locked firmly in place. It didn't look too threatening, it at least almost had the normal proportions of a cat this time, but she knew better than to lower her guard.

"...It's been a few moons since one of you has shown up." she mumbled, half to herself, never once taking her eyes off of the half-formed being. She'd almost forgotten she could see them, it had been so long. Maybe this was a punishment, a reminder that she could never escape the role she was dragged into. At least, that's how it felt sometimes.

"...Well?" Mothgrowl huffed, forcing her voice to remain steady. "Do you have anything to say? Or can I go back to my clan now?"

The shadow said nothing.

Something moved through the trees behind it. A distant roar began building, overtaking the sounds of the forest in an instant.

The tidal wave thundered through the forest, engulfing everything in sight. The shadow was swallowed in a sea of white froth.

Mothgrowl braced herself.

...The water was gone.

The birds sang. The dry grass rippled in the gentle breeze. The warm sunlight glazed over her back. Yet she shivered with a sudden chill.

The elder leaf at her paws dipped slightly, letting a single droplet fall to the dirt.

Mothgrowl turned and darted back to camp.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Ghoststar? Are you here?"

"Mm. Yes, Mothgrowl. What is it?"

"...Be careful around the river."

"...I will."

Here it is everyone! My third draw 6 clangen cats. I hope everyone likes their little guys

First up is Guststar from @everclan! I've been really loving the story so far, love the doomed yuri between Mousemoss and Cougarclover. I can't wait for more cats to join Everclan too, mostly so Guststar isn't alone anymore.

The second cat is Wrenkit from @hopeclan-arise! I just want Wrenkit to be happy. I also just wanna pick Wrenkit up and hug him.

The third cat is Captain Jack/Captainstar from @voyageclan! I like cats, I like pirates, so I love the combination of the two! I was planning on originally drawing Osprey, but Captain Jack won out in the end.

The fourth cat is Shadowstar from @hope-clan-chronicles! I like Shadowstar. I feel sorry that they have to deal with Weedspots though.

The fifth cat is Ryeshade from @doeclan! Gotta love our murderous characters. I like Ryeshade, I do feel bad that she murdered Zarya though. Still one of my favorite cats though.

The final cat is Twigpaw from @eveningclangen! I think Twigpaw is fairly underrated in the Eveningclan cast, so I'm happy to draw him :]

And as a reminder, I'll be returning from my hiatus June 5th!

[hopeclan-arise]

EEEEK omigosh my Wren thank you so much for drawing him! Your art style is lovely :]

[dustdevilclan-clangen]

Hey guys, it's been a bit. I'm glad to announce that I'll be returning to updates on June 5th! The hiatus did help, and as I'm working on getting back to drawing cats (I've been trying to learn how to draw humans), I decided why not use this as a warmup.

Give me 6 clangen cats to draw! Any six, I'll draw pretty much anyone.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CCC DISCORD!!!

If you didn't see, the Clangen Creator Community celebrated it's 1st birthday on March 23rd, so we thought we would run the same event that we ran the first month that the server was open - a banner event!

The original event featured 38 cats, but this time we were able to have a gathering of 60! Each cat was drawn and submitted by a different creator in our server in their own unique style, meaning we also have over 60 art styles represented here, which is so incredibly cool.

HUGE SPECIAL THANKS TO @bristleclanismissing, whom we commissioned to make the background but graciously assembled and FULLY SHADED the whole piece! Thank you so much, Coffee <3

We mention it a lot, but we are truly so grateful for this community, and hopefully the immense amount of love put into this project by our participants is easily felt. Here's to another year of creation!

[hopeclan-arise]

That's my boy!! It was so fun to be a part of this and watch it all come together :]

[clangen-lore]

let's spread a little positivity within the clangen community — say some nice things in the tags about the blog/person you reblogged this from!

[whaleboneclan]

One of my absolute favourite parts of making this is getting to do the backgrounds (and finally making use of my huge Whalebones Pinterest board lmao)!

The sea is very hungry.

[First]

[golden-webclan-gen]

The rogues has overpopulated in the territories. Scarce food enrages the Clans to take action. Cornered, the last of the surviving rogues declare themselves as founders of WebClan. Now, they must adjust to a new way of survival. - This is a ClanGen based comic. The game decides the events, I decide the story.

oh btw since i see your reblogging stuff about the changes to notes and the reblog system

they rolled that back and made a post about it!! its not longer happening!!

!! :0

[tumblr]

Reblogs in a chain now get their own notes

The reblog chain is one of the things that makes Tumblr unlike anywhere else. All the notes on reblogs are attributed to the original post, no matter which branch people actually liked or reblogged. We want to keep encouraging conversations, and give contributors the recognition they deserve. 

Soon, you'll be able to like, reblog, or reply to any part of a reblog chain, and that note will go to that reblog's author. Each reblog will have its own counts, instead of one aggregated number from every version of the post. And yes, you’ll be able to like multiple posts in one chain.

If a reblog doesn't add anything, the love flows up to the last person in the chain who did. Your post doesn't lose notes just because people spread it quietly.

Past notes will stay on the original post — we're only changing what happens from here on out. Retroactively re-attributing all of them would be... a lot.

This is just the beginning. More changes are coming as we keep building this out – stay tuned!

[changes]

It’s very clear that you all have strong feelings about Tumblr and about this change. We hear you. The passion people have for how Tumblr works is one of the things that makes this place special.

As this rolls out over the next few days and you explore it, we’ll keep reading your replies and reblogs, so please keep sharing your questions, concerns, and ideas.

Your creativity has always been the heart of Tumblr, whether you’re the original poster or adding something brilliant in the reblogs, and nothing about this change is meant to limit that.

If you’d like to talk directly beyond the comments, leave a reply and we’ll follow up with as many of you as we can. We want to work with you to make Tumblr better.

[pukicho]

Hey staff. This one really needs to be reversed. Tumblr isn't built for a quote-retweet equivalent like this.

Ultimately, it just feels a lot worse to use, conversations are more segmented, you can't keep track of things by referring to the original post anymore, artists lose traction faster on their original posts this way, the community feels smaller as a result, and jokes don't land the same.

This wouldn't affect me, I could easily out-reply most users and take attention away from the original poster - this is a bad thing, and is another reason why it shouldn't exist.

If you value the community, you should have tested and sought feedback PRIOR to pushing it out as a public release. This makes tumblr less novel, less comfortable and more like twitter (in a bad way)
