You, Sablekit, blink open your eyes for the first time, greeted by the warmth and affection of Mottlefoot and Oakhiss. Their love, though not bound by blood, feels no less genuine. The scent of milk and feathers fills the nursery and the murmurs of the Clan beyond become your first comfort, your first welcome into this world.
Trying out Lifegen and immediately got attached to my little guy. His parents are poly and it gives me life. Technically only two of them are listed as parents, but I refuse to believe they'd leave Blueclaw out of it😭

Umm... so... I'm not dead! It's been... probably a year now since I posted. A lot happened (mostly good! I'm a grad student now) in my life and I ended up stepping away from this. But every time I thought about making a post addressing it, I got nervous that I would promise to come back and then not be able to due to my schedule. But I think I'm finally at a point where I could start posting again. I know it's pretty unlikely anyone really remembers this story or has interest in it, but I'd like to try continuing it in some form. I'm still debating how I want to go about that and where I want to pick up. Because frankly, there's a lot of interesting stuff in the future of TurtleClan, but the beginning was very, very slow. Like we didn't get our first litter of Clanborn kits until after moon 60 slow.
This was in large part my own doing-- I typically play with "allow kits with unknown second parent" off, because I prefer to focus mostly on relationships within the Clan, and when I started this save. At this point, if you had allow unknown second parent on, every cat in the Clan would be bringing back kits within a few moons, and I didn't want my Clan to boom that fast. I felt it didn't allow enough time for relationships to develop between cats in the Clan before they started having kits with outsiders. Because I usually limit my cats to parenting a single litter (or two if their first litter is small/dies off) to preserve genetic diversity, this meant that if I had the setting turned on, my cats would typically ONLY have kits with outsiders. I still feel that way and tend to keep the setting off, though I've learned my lesson now and have turned the setting on a few times for one of the other Clans that will eventually form outside of TurtleClan.
So I'm currently considering my options. I've considered starting over, doing a timeskip, or switching focus to one of the other Clans that will form, but ultimately I think I want to stay with TurtleClan. There's also a lot of interesting character stuff that happens here and there in those first 60 moons so I don't want to skip it completely. Right now I'm thinking maybe I will try to spend less time on the early moons, and move the story along towards the point where stuff actually starts happening. I'm not certain yet. But I just wanted to say I do hope to come back soon, and hopefully get some people interested in the story again. I probably won't have a solid schedule or anything, and I'm still not really sure what I want to do with formatting, but frankly I miss drawing and writing about these cats!!! Thanks for reading this long ramble!
Day 37: Could someone please explain to me why the #pocahontas tag is 95% white girls in chicken feather headdresses. #growinghairdaybyday #nonbinarycuties #nonbinary #twospirit #native #nativeamerican #realnative #tusacrora #turtleclan
An extra post for today why not?
Almost forgot about Pizza Place, my boy 😔
