go my 1000 ask game blast

✏️ 💘 🪵 📜 🌀 🏔 ?????!! 👀👀👀👀👀

YAYYYY I LOVE ASKS!!!

✏️ - Who’s your favorite character to draw/write?

I really enjoy drawing Prairiefrost because she is one single colour! My favourite! I've also learned though that I love drawing Rootstar! I doodle him and Flipkite in school notes sometimes :)

My favourites to write are for sure Prairiefrost and Coneriver. I love delving into their complicated emotions and all that, especially since they're still pretty young and don't have it all figured out!

💘 - Any cats you ship? Any non-canon/crackship/oddball pairs?

Sagegrass x Clovegleam and also Rootstar x Flipkite !! I love them so much dude <3 As for non-canon, I actually really like Icicleswoop x Jasmineswirl! Both are super lively and they could've made a great pair, had they gotten to know each other more :) I am also starting to see the appeal in Coriandertail x Prairiefrost lol

I also think Marshthrush and Storkfur could've made a fun pair. Maybe they could even be with Frostthrush too and form a polycule :)

🪵 - What natural resources does your clan collect for tools, rituals, decoration, etc.?

Most of the tools and things they use for shelter is trash and junk leftover from twolegs, so not a lot of natural stuff! Flowers are often sought after for decoration, but are pretty hard to find in MurkClan territory.

📜 - How does your clan’s warrior code differ from other clans?

A lot of the rules are the same, there's just some they abandoned! So, let's see:

They don't do silent vigils after receiving a name

There's no real time limit to find a deputy

They don't challenge (I'm assuming as in fight?) all cats who trespass borders. Instead, they try to inform them of the borders (in case it's not a clan cat) and don't resort to fighting unless attacked first

Healers are allowed to have mates and kits

🌀 - Out of context spoilers/WIP?

Not sure exactly how to give out of context spoilers for the next few moons, but just know Sagegrass is going to be having a bad bad time :(

Like a really really bad time :((

🏔- Lore you’ve been wanting to share but haven’t gotten a chance to?

I want to talk a bit about a mediator's role in the clan! Mediators are not only peacemakers, but they also act as therapists! We've seen this with Sagegrass a bit, where she helped talk Coneriver through his grief. They're here to make sure their clanmates are kept happy both by resolving arguments and also by helping them mentally :)

If Prairiefrost were more willing to open up about her problems, she probably would've been much better off than she is now :(

what happens in your clans when a leader loses a life? do they regenerate instantly? does it take time? do injuries remain? why? :3

Ooh great question!! I actually hadn't thought about it too much so I'm gonna make it up a bit as I go hehehe

A leader loses a life, if they go through an event that would've normally killed them.

Here's a little drawing to help explain!

The blocks of text in case it's hard to read: -1 life -> to outsiders, it just looks like he survived a dog bite. he doesn't go limp for a moment or anything StarClan ghost can help stabilize injury a few moments after losing a life but injury remains until healed

So in this drawing, Rootstar gets bit by a dog. If he were a normal cat, he would've died. But, since he's not a normal cat, after getting bit, he loses 1 life. The life he would've lost, if it weren't for the fact that he is leader and had 9 lives. But what does it look like when he loses a life?

To outsiders, there's nothing to show for the fact that he just lost a life. What they see is that Rootstar got bit by a dog, a thing that should have killed him, but he survived.

For leaders, this is a little different. Their vision goes dark and speckled with stars for less than a second, then they're back. They also just have a sense of dread of "That should have killed me. I shouldn't be alive after that."

After this little blackout, whatever injury or sickness or anything that killed them remains. A StarClan ghost (one that they cannot see and usually the one who gave them that life) also helps to stabilize the injury for a few moments, so they have a better chance of making it and don't die over and over again. For example, they can put pressure on wounds to temporarily stop bleeding or they can temporarily relieve pain so the leader can make a move quicker.

Hopefully that explanation was good enough and made some sense! TwT

Did the species swap for @cccdiscord's April event! It was a lot of fun :D I also wrote what names I think the other species would have :)

Also there should be an update tomorrow! I've been pretty busy TwT but I promise I'll get to it!

New profile picture!!

Thought I should put my own drawing of Rootstar rather than his clangen sprite!

This also works as a ref for him which will be very useful for me :D

Buttttt since it's Valentine's Day (one of my favourite days hehe) I thought I might do something special! So here are three little valentines cards with some MurkClan cats!

It’s meemaw! I love her so much she’s very precious to me. I’ve figured out how cats work properly now so I’m redoing everyone’s designs (even though I JUST designed them). You’ll see them between comic chapters. Next will be Honeyfuzz!
