What if mountain lions but society

Catamount ClanGen.

[puma-clan]

PUMACLAN welcomes you. But they might eat you.

Welcome to my mountain lion ClanGen comic! Ah, yes, I know, a cougar ClanGen, too many of those nowadays, I agree, very unoriginal, but I promise I’ll try to make it interesting for you.

Start reading HERE!

Updates weekly and/or whenever I can get a chance to upload :)

ALLEGIANCES - MOON 0, MOON 50

MOONS INDEX - compiled moons

ASK A QUESTION - simple askbox that might take one of your limbs.

COMICFURY - link to another comic site it can be found on.

WRITTEN ALLEGIANCES - throwing it back with a nod to the OG series.

CLANGEN BLOGS YOU NEED TO CHECK OUT - me yapping about my unbiasedly favorite CG blogs I’d recommend you to check out :)

If you’re going to ask, I’m going to please ask that you keep cursing at a minimum. At least if it’s cursing in a negative way. The pumas don’t need to hear that.

This comic has all the canon tws, death, blood, gore, trauma, grief, all the pickins, so if this is triggering/disturbing for you, I wouldn’t recommend reading this comic. TW pages will be tagged so you can avoid them.

I’ saw that sometimes jump is jumpdusk, is there a certain time when he’s referred to it like a specific time of moon or just random or it gets mixed up? Pretty name though ^^

Ah thank you for taking notice! 

Lending some inspiration from @/mammoth-clangen and also my own inconsistency/ indecisiveness, he is sometimes referred to as either Jump or Jumpdusk—Jumpdusk is his full name, like his warrior name I suppose. When a puma is welcomed as a full catamount of the Clan, they get their suffix. It’s usually used in a formal way to address someone by their full catamount name, but some pumas prefer to be called only the first part of their name (which is their given name rather than catamount name) and everyone’s pretty chill with either way. For example, Rush is really /Rushflood/pelt/I can’t choose but he’s kind of apathetic to using his leader name so he leaves it up to anyone calling him. Plus, as we will see, some pumas just use their full name just cause I want them to because it’s a cool name, and some don’t just because I can’t think of a suffix they weren’t born within the Clan/may not be familiar enough with the customs or just want to keep their name. Kind of like my precious Daisy from actual Warriors (I thought keeping her name was badass but also I just find queens badass). 

I’d love to share the catamount names of everyone but I fear it’d make this response too long so if I get asked in a seperate ask I’ll def share them! I’m very proud of them.

So in short, Jump gets referred to as Jumpdusk really because I like his name and I keep forgettingchanging stuff as the moons go on. Thank you for asking, this was a neat question :3

[puma-clan]

Sorry this took so long, guys!! Big style change in the middle because, confession, I got lazy.

End is a throwback to when nettle and marmot shared excruciating porcupine experiences :( also congrats marmot

So if this isn't based on a single save are you just coming up with everything and what you want to happen in the story? How does that work?

Yep! 

It’s a very interesting process. And by interesting I mean random and shamefully uncoordinated. 

Nah just kidding, but jokes aside, I just look back on things that happened in a few saved clans I had and incorporate/interpret that into PumaClan. The characters I created on my own in a one-shot (design-wise, name- and personality-wise some are based on cats I really liked from older saves) and I just have them interact and be themselves independently in conceived scenarios and determine what I what to happen, for lack of better words. This pretty much works for me—the only downside is that I feel more attached to them and I don’t want any of them to die. Really sucks because eventually I’ll have a mass extinction because that was a big part in all of my saved games, real good, my luck. 

Plus I have to keep track of ages manually and that gets a little difficult. Plus plus when relationships are forming I can’t bring myself to make them spontaneously happen, I like to ramp up and foreshadow and it’s really a long, LONG game but I guess I love making things harder for myself so oh well lol.

I keep two or so notes in the notes app organizing things to happen in each moon/characters’ dialogue/age and interactions. I have one note dedicated to character development/profiles/how they’ll die, but that’s rather morbid so I’ll skip that. I’ll say I’m around 40 moons ahead in planning because if I said the real number I’ll sound like I’ve spent a crazy amount of time on it lol. 

So yeah, to consummate this sporadic explanation, yes, I am pretty much just using my free will to plot what’s going to happen in each moon as well as what should happen against what I want to happen (by this I mean how eventually they’ve got to die even when I want to keep them alive forever). I try to organize this but I mostly just end up making it up/making big edits depending on how I feel in the moment (i.e., changing moon description, dialogue, fitting a meme in whenever I can, maybe changing which character is doing what). Thank you so much for the question! It was fun to look from a lens to see how I do this stuff, and see how I should probably become more consistent ha.

Great question, hope this response was alright :)

[puma-clan]

I need to have more consistency with him. Should I do this with the other guys? Was kind of fun!

[puma-clan]

you can send in-characters asks to any character you want now :) (ends in one week! You can send them whenever but I can’t always guarantee they’ll be answered quickly, for this week I can)

just specify who you’re asking and what. This should be fun!

[lynxbriight]

Just because we have different stripes doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be able to get along :]

(Designs are based on the flags respectively rom left to right: queer, disabled, straight ally or interpreted as closeted, and trans)

[puma-clan]

I was also going to make them pumas but I had no idea where to fit in the colors (I guess spots could have worked) so I’ll probably be making that an independent work like this with them :)

[puma-clan]

That was not very skibidi. Oh yeah guys I didn’t just photoshop in that porcupine I’m that skilled lol.

also thinking of making a tradition of giving flowers as a sign of affection bc that seems to be how it be

IS SPRING - RED CANON??

ha ha. oh wait you’re serious. I’ll admit that little stunt of course we are was pretty damning but I have some plans for them and am so excited for you guys to see them develop :) they are pretty much just teens right now so they’re figuring stuff out but believe me,

we’ll get to that.

and don’t worry, I’m not killing off my lesbians. I don’t think I could because there’s a few of them in PumaClan but not these ones, I can’t wait for you guys to find out the answer to this

[puma-clan]

who is the puma on the new banner?

first leader of PumaClan :)

that was quick, so happy you noticed! I won’t bother you with any lore but she is basically a deity to PC and a badass cougar.

[puma-clan]

Of course we are ❤️

Um. That heart was platonic. For sure.

[puma-clan]

Some fanart for the amazing @mammoth-clangen that I implore you to check out! In my not so biased opinion, it is one of the top ClanGen comics, the ideas are fresh and it is so unique and the art is to die for. The author is very knowledgeable in their prehistoric stuff which makes everything so much more fun, and the characters are awesome and it’s so great to watch them develop. No spoilers but that is what the fanart is focused on and I’m so excited for that character and their journey!

Also a crossover between two found-toms, which is an awesome term of Kindred of the Mammoth  which gives the world an awesome originality. It’s a great comic full of twists and turns and most importantly prehistoric animals and it is very ni
