🏔️ WELCOME TO TALLCLAN! 🏔️

This is a ClanGen blog that will be following the adventures of TallClan as they settle into their new home in the mountainous valley and establish their dynasty. I was inspired by LoudClan to begin this blog and to do the dynasty challenge alongside it.

The formats in which moons are going to be told is going to flip-flop between a comic and a written story with illustrations (because I was cursed with the love of drawing and writing). It’s all going to depend on what’s the best way to tell what happened that moon.

Updates won’t be consistent or have a set schedule to avoid adding the stress of keeping up with this blog, which is meant to be a fun side project!

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH 🏳️‍🌈!!

Featuring two new faces we’re going to be seeing very soon ^^!!

Originally I was going to do the same thing I did last year as there’s an event that occurs in Moon 31 that would’ve fit the occasion!

However, considering how long the moon is going to be, I was worried I might not make it in time 😅! So, instead I decided to take inspiration for what I did for last year’s Valentine’s Day!

Also, if you guys are interested, feel free to drop any queer headcanons you might have for our current cast of cats ^^!

[tallclan]

Wondering if the new update increased the chances of cats getting into poly relationships or is this one gay couple in the clan just built different lmfao 😭

Moon 1384

Then 2 moons later. This one was mostly orchestrated on my part since I noticed that Sharpdusk and Jumpfeather were both attracted to each other so it made sense to make them mates as well.

Jumpfeather would then pass away from whitecough 2 moons later.

On Moon 1391, Miststrike became mates with Frondburst, who was in her own committed relationship.

The following moon, Frondburst then announced that she’s pregnant. I haven’t gotten to the kits’ births yet, but heavily assuming Miststrike is the father as Frondburst’s other partner is a cis-woman.

THEN, ON THE FOLLOWING MOON, Sharpdusk got his own wife too.

Heavily assuming that (for lore reasons) Sharpdusk and Miststrike must’ve opened their relationship 😭✌️

[tallclan]

In-game TallClan finally had their first litter of kits after the new update! I wanted to share the ones who had the new baby sprites uwu!!!!

[tallclan]

Got the new update without nerfing the clan, so I wanted to show off some of the new sprites!

[tallclan]

Bonebracken's and Mulberrystripe's apprentice sprites with the new update :3

And this here is Cliffpelt! A character from the far distant future. Wanted to share her sprite because she looks pretty (and again, it's my favorite pose ToT)

Who’s Adderbite if you don’t mind answering?

Adderbite is one of Icystar’s and Sapflow’s many future descendants. She was the great-great-granddaughter of the clan’s 16th leader, Mulberrystar. She’s one of the more recent cats of the save file.

She and her brother, Pikeshimmer, were born to their mother, Burnetthunder, in the last few moons of Elderberrystar’s reign. They were the result of a half-clan relationship.

While Pikeshimmer graduated early at 11 moons old, Adderbite wouldn’t get her name until she was 13-moons-old. In the moon between the siblings’ graduations, they would lose Burnetthunder to a festering infection. (They were also left unaware of the fact that their mother had killed an apprentice right before they started their training.)

Adderbite served as a warrior during Wispstar’s reign. Just like her mother, she got involved in a half-clan relationship, which resulted in the birth of her only son, Jackdawshade.

Unfortunately, at just 35 moons old, she was killed by rats raiding the clan’s prey pile. Her death occurred just one moon after Jackdawshade earned his name. A couple of moons later, Jackdawshade was a casualty of one of the badger attacks mentioned in this post. Thus, Adderbite’s direct line has died out.

Played a bit on TallClan’s save file and decided to check up on the StarClan cats. I found this :,3!

[tallclan]

I just did thumbnail sketches for Moon 31 and the whole thing is going to be a 13-page one-parter. Wooo boyyy

Last part of Moon 30! And fun fact! Originally, Moon 30 was going to be a one-parter with only Tawnyfrost’s arrival. When I first wrote the script for Moon 30, I couldn’t figure out what to do for these two specific events at the time. It only came to me when I started drawing Moon 30!

A shameless self promo

Other than that, it feels like FOREVER since I last updated this blog, but it’s only been 17 days 😭😭 gosh!

I’ve been trying to pace myself when it comes to making moon updates. Each time I finished one, I would jump onto working on the next one after a few days break. This time around, in between updates, I’ve been focused on drawing other things I wanted to do that aren’t TallClan-related. Along with the fact I recently quit my job and gonna try my hand at doing illustration full-time for a while (wish me luck), I guess that’s why times felt really slow since then.

Hopefully, I’ll start working on the next update this upcoming week!

[tallclan]

Loving this Clangen Blog but why do the Healers have vomit on their faces-

Thank you! I’m glad you’re enjoying it ^^!

It’s supposed to be mud from the bog with bits of peat thrown in there 😭

Moon 30: Part 1 - Fall

Moon Events:

To the clan’s joy and shock, Tawnyfrost finds his way back home!

While Mulberrystripe is happy for the young tom’s return, she can’t shake off the uneasiness pit brewing in her stomach.

LOOK WHO’S BACK YIPEEE!!

I think now is a good time to tell you guys that Tawnyfrost had actually been taken by humans in-game! I just decided to take creative liberties with his sudden disappearance.

I can’t remember if he returned on his own or whether it was one of my many attempts to get him back. I do remember frequently looking for him (and failing) the moons shortly after his abduction, because at that point, Icepaw was dead and in-game Hawthornnight had a broken back, and I did not want to lose any more of the clan’s youth 😭!

[bristleclanismissing]

Digging more into the account I will no longer vaguepost about this account. Please block this person. I’m not one to make massive callout posts BUT I do have a lot of followers and when someone does have a lot of followers they should use that power “for good”.

This is the artist who made the Jumalanpelko fanart of Viima (a trans man) as a Proud Cis Woman™️. Turns out the account is all about transphobia and advocating for people who are trans to accept who they “really are” and l don’t think I need to explain how problematic that is.

They tag their posts as Transgender just so they can get traction into trans spaces even when they’re transphobic. Fucking disgusting.

They have a post explaining how they once found comfort in the trans community but eventually decided it was “a trap” and some form of closed minded bubble. So they left and accepted who they really were. (Which is fine for them to do)

But they have no space here in the Clangen Tumblr Community as far as I’m concerned! And I don’t want them hurting anyone else!

[bristleclanismissing]

I want to add that please ONLY block her. Do NOT go looking at all her posts unless you want EVIDENCE of her transphobia.

I didn’t include photos of her posts because I was concerned that they would be genuinely triggering to people and from others reactions telling me they looked into the account my suspicions were correct. Please don’t look too deep if you’re easily triggered by transphobia and talk about detransitioning.

[aphidclan-clangen]

also I’ve already gone through and done this but if you like any of her posts I will block you instantly

[tallclan]

I think it should go without saying that TallClan is a very queer-positive comic and I won’t tolerate any sort of hatred towards the queer community.

If you haven’t done so already, please block this person and their supporters!!!

[moonchemistry]

Moon 29 - Summer

Moon Events:

Bluegale announced that she’s expecting kits! She decides to move into the nursery right away and start early in preparation for her litter’s arrival.

It is Sootpaw's willingness to sit and listen that assures the other clans’ healers it's time to give her her name of Sootback at 17 moons old. Sootback thanks them graciously and tucks herself back down to listen to the next cat speak. She was honored for her grace. She still retains her compassionate nature.

After 8 long moons, Hawthornnight is well enough to leave the healers’ den and proceed with her new duties as a warrior. Despite the good recovery, the injury will forever remain as a scar and a daily reminder of Hawthornnight’s close encounter with death.

KITS! YIPPEE!! It’s been a year since the clan had kits around, so this is very much welcomed news! (As a reminder to everyone, at this point in the game, the clan is allowed to have kits with an unknown, second parent.)

And Sootback has graduated! Originally, I thought about including her naming ceremony, but I did not have the inspiration to write it, unfortunately 😭! All I can say, inspired by the event, the Lead Healers from other clans all come together and determine whether a healer apprentice is ready to become a full healer through a rigorous exam. The name granted to the new healer is either one suggested by their mentor or the Lead Healers Council!
