Where the fire burns hot and the water burns hotter!
These cats are living in a wasteland, each with drastically different perspectives on their situation.
The deputy, Shiningblur, is growing wary of moons as deputy, and is conflicted between wanting to help the clan, and the aching in his bones.
Their leader, Gardeniastar, is not suited to be leader in the slightest, but don't tell him that...!
Their medicine cat, Flower Salt, is a former BasinClan cat, now living in the river, attempting to deal with both all the bullshit they get up to, and all the complications with the mutations his new clan are dealing with.

My pronouns are He/They/It.
This is my first(second?) time actually committing to making something, and I'm not very good at comics, but I'm going to try!
You may know me as @idkimjustboredandidkwhattodosooo, or Boov from the CircusClan-EchoClan discord. Or you may not know me at all! :D
Inspirations
My biggest inspirations are;
@circus-clangen
@echoes-in-echoclan
@splinterclan
@loudclan-clangen
And many more :]
Part of a collaborative project with these lovely clans!!!
SquallClan
Part of a collaboration with Floodclan, - and -!
BasinClan
Tumblr is a place to express yourself, discover yourself, and bond over the stuff you love. It's where your interests connect you with your
DroughtClan
because there's no water
Common tags are as follows:
#floodclan - things relating to the clan
#sisterclans - the other 3 in the setting
#squallclan / #basinclan / #droughtclan - will be paired with #sisterclans to specify which clan
#modtalk - asks not directed toward the characters or posts where its just me saying stuff
#floodless - not relating to the clan
#floodasks - answering the ask box :)
#floodrefs - reference sheets for the kitties
#floodmoons - floodclan moon updates :D
when characters appear they will be tagged, but if they're not present but still important they will be tagged as being mentioned.
(NOTE! this and the other clans involved are prone to long periods of time between updates. it has been a very unfortunate series of events so far. please be wary that with every update the wait could be up to a month, or if particularly unlucky, more than one)
Hello friends! This blog has not been updated in forever, and I'm not going to lie, I just burnt out. I had several projects on the go, and I couldn't handle it.
HOWEVER!
I am back now, and I do plan to keep working on this. The artstyle is likely to be incredibly chibi for most moons, with only majorly important events planned to be high quality art.
I hope, despite the silly artstyle, you can all still appreciate the depth of this little world, and the story at large.
Thanks for reading, and expect some more updates soon!
As a treat because it has been so long GARDENIASTAR REFERENCE SHEET!! this one was created on moon zero, so he's 152 as of Moon One. Horrible old man who beat Eggtuft up💔
Content Warnings ahead;
Animal death, mentions + implications of abuse, neglect, violence, body horror.
all appropriately tagged in respective moons/discussions
Why'd he have to go and do it? Hushback should have known his brother had gone and fucked it again. But Dustyshiver was Strongstar's shining son, golden and delicate like a drop of honey. Strongstar's surprised final expression was atonement for coddling the only son borne of his body.
Hushback would do it again.
They were lucky Little Arrow Beneath Falls agreed to nurse their festering party. Hushback did not deny it. He limps forward, resting his weight on her as they walk. Little Arrow Beneath Falls presses back against him gently, eyes half closed.
Would it have been the same if it was her that died? Would Dustyshiver come to his aid if it was his mate that felt the dark tip of a stranger's claw and not Softkick? Hushback's good foot slips under him, just a breath, and he sucks in air through his teeth.
His bloodied leg twists. Little Arrow Beneath Falls stops, looking him over. Ahead, Dustyshiver does not stop, and neither do his children. Brown and cream fur brush past thoughtlessly in the tight space between reeds.
synopsis
"A series of bad decisions made by would-be leader, Dustyshiver, have lead his small, struggling family into a new, unfamiliar land."

Hey! My name is Syd.
I started this blog a while ago now, but without much thought or direction. I have a little more now! lol
I work in fast food, so my life schedule is unpredictable.
I upload any finished moons, comics, or related art every Thursday, and answer asks every Friday.
Comic will be separated into two styles, see more below cut.
Should this comic do very well, perhaps someday I'll remake it entirely in a more narrative style. A """warrior cats""" Clangen, if you understand what I mean,
The setting is collaborative, shared with three other Clangen Comic Makers linked below (see #sisterclans on this blog)
Asks for characters, and all others, are welcome!

Welcome. You have climbed far, and the mountain was treacherous, but you are safe now. Your old life is no more, it never existed, understood? Come, take a dip into the Glow and receive Her gift. He awaits.
The Squall are a group of mutated cats. Life for them can be challenging, but with faith in the Glow and their own work, they will persevere.
Join the eloquent Angel of the Glow Bear-, the ever-playful optimistic Growth of the Glow, Frostthistle, and the quietly insecure Historian of the Glow, Oaktalon as they, together, lead the group in their relative isolation.
This blog is a collaboration between @real-river-hours, @waydowninwastetown and @thebasin-clan, and all groups are in the same setting, please go check them out!
This blog has CW for Canon typical violence and Gore, including but not limited to, death (potentially including kits), physical violence and blood (again, potentially including kits), and horror themes.
Each update will go over the events of the year, although huge events may get their own comic.
