#not bugclan

[bugclanofthemountain]

hey!

if you're a terf or are "gender critical" or just generally don't support trans identities, this is not the blog for you!

I'm not going to make a big long DNI list but if I don't like you I block you.

BugClan hiatus continues…

I have experienced some difficult life situations I’d rather not get into here so I will be continuing my break instead of returning..

Blog update:

I am working on BugClan in the background right now. I decided to leave the CCC, but I want to finish BugClan.

Thanks for sticking around!

im genuinely going to be mourning for the next little while im sorry. all posts are cancelled.

im going to be throwing myself into my archival work @archivistpaw

[bugclanofthemountain]

if anything i am one to hop on a fun trend for @rooted-clangen

I don't want to spoil too much since BugClan hasn't even been founded yet but I'd imagine Rootkit would be discovered shortly after Tickwhisker's exile. I think Tickwhisker would do their best to raise Rootkit to be. normal and well adjusted. Tickwhisker also has to work out some. identity crisis stuff so raising a second child wouldn't help. Not that Tickwhisker is a bad parent. They just also have problems.

Gravelpaw/Horsefly would gladly welcome their new sibling. Once BugClan becomes BugClan, Rootkit would be able to pick any bug name she likes. I think Hawkmoth would be fitting?

Spoilers under the cut

Tickwhisker would keep Rootkit close, especially after Horsefly dies. Hopefully they could comfort each other.

If Rootkit decides to train as a druid, Ottercloud/Boxelder would be thrilled. She really missed having a helping hand (paw?).

😊 and 🦅 for Aspensmoke

Also, 🎲 and 🐈 for you!

Thanks for the ask!

Fun fact about Aspensmoke…

Aspensmoke did not originally exist in my ClanGen save! Tickwhisker had Gravelpaw with an unknown second parent, but I decided to alter the story a bit to give this second parent more of an identity and explanation for their disappearance.

Aspensmoke is a hunter. She prefers traditional hunting, none of this setting traps business. She stakes out her prey with her fellow hunters and never returns empty pawed.

. . .

A moment that derailed the plot… besides the entirety of act 1-2, I was carefully setting up a betrayal plot when one of the characters suddenly died in moon 15. Rip Grub.

Idk if I’ve said this anywhere but act 1 and act 2 are all happening before moon 1. We haven’t started yet.

I was inspired by a lot of people in the ClanGen Creator Community! Our Garden Under Heaven, DustdevilClan, (Rooted) HymnClan, the Stars and the Tide, RainClan, HopeClan chronicles, just to name a few. I wasn’t ever planning on making a comic, but I decided I might as well try. Anyways! If you have Discord I’d recommend joining the @cccdiscord . Lots of lovely and accepting people.

Some non ClanGen inspirations are BarrenClan and myself. I started an ask blog hybrid comic about my ocs a few years ago, but it never took off and then I deleted everything… long story short I have always loved comics and will continue to make them, even after heart of the mountain is over!

oops! all hiatus (starting next week)

Sorry for this sudden announcement. More below cut

Things have been rough in my personal life, making it hard to focus on doing the posts for heart of the mountain. I know that sounds silly but at the end of the day I choose how I spend my time.
