Adderall is a surprise! (Wait, Adderall? I meant Aldertail, but thats too funny to delete. Yellowpaw could use some, it seems)

Barleybee was an obvious choice since she defended them from Sardine, but Aldertail is a surprise. Its gonna be rough for her, but Yellowpaw seems like he could stand to learn how to deal with his mind, and seeing an adult struggle and learn seems helpful

Yeah, Aldertail is gonna be stressed as hell, at least for a while. Hopefully, though, she and Yellowpaw can find a dynamic that works for them.

Is Barleybee cinnamon point? I know the actual save isn’t using genemod but there’s been some things to make cats genetically accurate. She can’t be ginger with Oddstripe as only blue. I’m assuming Sparrowsway is a black spotted tabby but if he is chocolate, and Barbee is cinnamon then their other parent would be a chocolate carrying cinnamon with white. They could be a tabby or solid since the kids only need to get the tabby from their papa. Odd would be black carrying cinnamon. If Sparrow is just a black tabby then the other parent could be black, choc, or cin, the only thing is that they’d be carrying cinnamon atleast. And ofc the white for Flood-Bud to have his level of white spotting. Oh and the other parent is silver to give to Floodstrike

This is out of nowhere but was rereading Barbee’s pov during the camp attack and started thinking about her genetics

Very well spotted!! Barleybee is infact a cinnamon point. Sparrowsway is also supposed to be cinnamon but, as I metioned over in the community tab, I recently found out that the monitor I draw on didn't accurately display the colors I was using which has led to a lot of cats being just a bit off from how I pictured them. For instance, Floodstrike isn't supposed to be silver, he's just blue, but he and a lot of cats look more silver than I intended due to this error.

I'm considering redoing some of the ref sheets but we'll see if I have the time and energy.

@clangenrising is back in business guys!!! I had to draw my favorite character Barleybee. Her journey has been so, so amazing to follow and I can't wait to see what's ahead for her! If you haven't read RisingClan's story yet you should 100% go and check it out, the characters are so well done and the writing is amazing!

I just realized that as far as I can remember Branchbark and Barleybee haven’t interacted like just together. It’s just funny to think of them hanging out. The two BB’s, the B Team, feeling bad but this time together instead of alone!

False! Barleybee (then Barleypaw) and Branchbark had a one on one conversation in the piece where Branchbark "rescued" Yarrowshade from a fox last leafbare. But yeah, it's only been the one so I don't blame you for having missed/forgotten it.

That is a good point though, they both have a tendency to blame themselves for things that are out of their control. Maybe we'll see more of them together in the future!

Haha I was playing my own clangen run and look at the randomly generated name I got for this kit!

Awww! Thats such a fun coincidence! I do think Barley was pregenerated (although i might have changed which kit in the litter it was for) but bee was chosen by me.

[clangenrising]

Oh my goodness I remember when the oddlets were just kits! All of them grew into their coats so well, I’m in LOVE with the thought you (or Goldenstar lol) put behind the names!! I feel like Oddstripe rn, I’m emotional over these fictional kitties

They've come so far! Precious little babies all grown up 🥺

Please give some RisingClan trivia in these trying times? (Has had a very bad day) Likkeee…

Who do you like writing the most? Who do you have the most difficulty with? What’s Orangestar’s favorite meal? Things of that nature ^^ Just some silly stuff :D

Haha How can I refuse? okay, let's see....

Its hard to say who I like writing most, I tend to have more fun with specific scenes than with specific characters, but I will say that the one piece we got in Razor's POV was so fun to write, just like, getting to see the world from his twisted perspective for a bit.

In that vein, I don't have a character who is the hardest to write either. I guess kittens are hard for me, I struggle with writing children accurately to their ages haha.

Orangestar's favorite meal is squirrel. I'm currently struggling to map out the politics in the city following Razor's death. Russetfrond's dad was a big blue and white classic tabby named Wolfmoon. Barleybee isn't actually ginger, she and Sparrowsway are both cinnamon, she just has high rufousing which makes her look redder (like abyssinian and somali cats).

I hope your day gets better <3 I'm glad RisingClan is something that brings you joy

OMG, my Odd kids have grown up! Barleybee, Sparrowsway, I love the alliteration.

Same, alliterative names are so fun
