Howdy, I like cats, the cat books have stolen 12 years of my life and I fear I will never be free of them.

Feel free to send an ask any time ! The askbox is always open :))

o hi!

i got til the end of the month to scratch together 700$ or else im #evicted (i got hired at a weird time at my new job so i only get paid once this month lol)

SO.

im offering commissions like the Skrunkly Little Wiggly Shardshade above! if she Speaks To You maybe take a peaky peek here on my ko-fi

only need a scant 35 peoples to be interested and then i can pour all my Effort back into This Comic and maybe a secret thing ouuuhhhh?????

[druidshollow]

im scared why is that thing here

[shirecorn]

THIS is the comic that has been banned

It was flagged as "Eksplicit", shadowbanned, and every reblog turned invisible. The flagging is also unappealable (unless that is an error, thanks tumblr)

Happy Trans Day of Invisibility from your tumblr mods!

Only found out because I tried to reblog with an update from your local trans unicorn siblings!

I cannot even LINK to my old comic without every new post getting deleted.

And yet, we will CONTINUE to exist, and grow, and find each other. We will be visible up to and beyond our own deaths. Because we stand for love. We love ourselves and each other and that just makes us stronger.

[shirecorn]

Happy pride!

The original post was pardoned, but the shadowban still persisted and every reblog was hidden from the dash and flagged explicit. I'm not sure if it recovered by now, or if it's always going to be at risk of banning.

So whatever staff reviewed my complaint agreed that it wasn't explicit. So thank you for that, moderator. This highlights that the problem starts with bad actors reporting anything they don't like, and that it's a tossup if your appeal is seen by a bot, a normal human, or a bigot.

I'm grateful I can still touch people and spread positivity. Many of my queer siblings, brothers, and sisters - especially trans sisters - can't say the same.

But no matter what happens, we will always have each other. Every letter in our alphabet is a pillar holding up a beautiful world that only stands if we're all in it together. The world may call you a monster, but it calls me one too. Maybe you won't hear it from the rest of them, but listen and you will hear it from me.

I love you.

I always will.

YOU read Warrior Cats

Is the actress hired to play Mapleshade a canon character or oc? I’d love to hear more about her!

she’s just a random design based on fictional cat beauty standards and the Hollywood-ifications of real life people. some people have said she reminds them of Mapleshade’s other canon design (ginger and white instead of tortoiseshell) which I think is a better interpretation lol

I’ll have a think, if there’s a canon character that fits the design and timeline I might shoehorn them in lmao

[rayratman]

My darlingsss

Discovered Rudymentary’s Curlfeather animation and it’s altered my brain chemistry for several months

Now I want to make one for my oc (it will take many eons I am prone to distractions and burnout <\3) the background will hopefully be colored soon

But here we have the happiest family in the colony before the horrors hit 👎👎

Mama Willow, Papa Eddy, and (in order) Joanna, Tabitha, Todd, Winnifred, and Judd

♡ BRANCHCLAN CHARACTER DESIGN CONTEST RESULTS ♡

Today's the day!!! The results are in for the character designing contest and it's time to see whose design will be an official part of BranchClan history!

Before we start, I wanted to once again thank everyone who participated so so much. You guys had so many fun designs, entries, and little quirks (That I may or may not still add to certain characters, hehe). Believe me, it was hard to choose some of these designs.

I also wanted to give a huge thank you to all of you in general!! Idk where BranchClan would even be without all of your support for it, and you guys are so incredibly sweet and kind to me. Thank you, truly. Love y'all. <3

And now, without further ado, let's get into the results!!

.

.

Leon

I'll be honest. A lot of you had some REALLY good Leon designs. But this one caught my eye the moment I saw it. The design I'll be using for Leon is this one, drawn by @a-dumb-bitch-apparently !! ♡

I was so obsessed with the Leon Kennedy motifs. The hair, the radiation symbol on the chest, the bite mark...It all came together and looked so so good in cat form! I fear this design was one I had in consideration from the start with how good it was...I love it. A lot. <3

Aspenfern

Aspenfern's design was one I couldn't even think about myself, so I was surprised to see that people not only designed him, but made him look absolutely fantastic! This handsome, arrogant boy is now officially designed by @ariverslegacy !! ♡

Again, I love how he looks colorwise and absolutely adore the fern motifs on him <3 I love how you turned the giant heart on his chest into some heart-shaped ferns!! I think you did a fantastic job with the posing and the "arrogant" vibe that he hopefully gives off during his future debut. 👀

Owlflight

Now this lady had a beautiful beautiful sprite in-game, and you guys didn't disappoint when it came to making her look absolutely gorgeous. But sadly I couldn't choose multiple winners for one cat (unless I came up with a good reason to clone them in the story, lmao). The design that caught my eye the most is the one drawn by @rayratman !! <3

The spots on the chest, the wing-like markings, the eyebrows, and the spots under the eyes are what really drew me to this girlie's design! Very angie-like (hehe). I'm also obsessing over the way you drew her body type, she looks so so cute. She looks absolutely precious here and I am so excited to draw her when it's her time to shine!! <3

Pipitfall

Pipitfall's sprite is NOT an easy one to translate into art, but you guys delivered some stunning results. I was floored. I had trouble choosing with this one too, but in the end, I found myself very drawn to the design made by @flametheartist !! ♡

I never considered that Pipit could be a long cat before...Maybe I'm a bad person (joking). But yeah. The second I saw this I became a Long Pipit truther. I love the way you translated the very complex sprite design into something that was easy to draw, but still very unique and gorgeous. And the way you incorporated the accessory into her Dark Forest Bond...Chef's kiss oml. Amazing job.

Beepool (Aka "Beep")

Now we're getting down to the final two, who I like to call Mr. And Ms. Popular. There were so many entries for Beep and Beampetal that I had a mini panic attack trying to choose a winner. Lol. Anyway, I decided I wanted the design by @a-dumb-bitch-apparently to be our winner for Ms. Popular herself, Beep.

I'll be honest, she was NOT an easy cat to design for me. I love the way you made her look like her sprite, but simplified it enough for her to look cute and BranchClan-like. And the added little headcanons are what really sold it for me. The folded ears especially, knowing who her parents are...Hehe. She looks so sweet and kind in this design which is exactly what I wanted for her. So there's Ms. Beep. Love her. <33

Beampetal

Last but FAR from least (especially since i wanna do another character design contest later) is Beampetal. This guy...Popular doesn't even begin to describe him. The children (you guys) yearn for the Beampetal. There were so many amazing designs that I wanted so badly to use...But in the end, the design drawn by @flametheartist won my heart.

How could I say no to that face?? And the subtle but still there petal designs on him are so so good. I was particularly won over by the little description the artist gave for him. The thought of this little guy having chronic arthritis that he relieves through swimming was genius. I'm absolutely using that. And he just looks so small and precious with this posing and just...Augh. Beampetal my absolute beloved I cannot WAIT to see you. <3

Aaaand...That's that!! Again, thank you all SO MUCH for your entries!! If your design wasn't used please don't be discouraged or think that it was your design or artstyle. Trust me, there are some I went back and forth on because I just could not choose. Everyone did an absolutely fantastic job designing these cats and I once more thank you so much, both for the designs and for the support. Congratulations to the winners!! BranchClan will resume soon. See you guys later! ♡

[sysiheart]

Random reasons theres been for me not being able to sleep but the reasons keep getting more neurospicy and weird:

1. My boobs were in the way and I couldnt find a place for them

2. Got too excited over stickers

3. Shirt touched my neck wrong

4. I took a deep breath and then got addicted into taking deep breaths so I have to focus on taking the deep breaths and cant sleep

5. I felt my heart beat against the bed

6. I felt my throat too much

[aropride]

like does anyone else still feel the exact same age they were in march 2020 like 90% of the time

[perhats]

I say shit like "If my memory serves me" knowing damn well it serves the dark lord
