Thought it would be fun to do another YCH for our silly little traumatized kitten!! <333

I like to imagine this as an AU where, shortly after everyone dies in moon 3, Rootkit is found by your OC! If you include a little about how they'd care for/where they'd bring her/etc maybe I'll even doodle an AU version of adult Rootriver..... teehee

Please @ me and tag it with #aurootadopted !! PSD AND PNG FILES HERE!

here is amberspark!! she's from a clangen comic I wanted to start but unfortunately couldn't, lore dump below the cut

so! I wanted to make a comic using the lifegen infection mod, where basically a zombie apocalypse plagues your clan & you gotta find the cure via different herb combinations. It's spread through tainted prey or herbs, being attacked by or inviting in infected loners, or among clanmates if the infected aren't quarantined. I found it really fun, which is why I wanted to make a clangen comic around it!

The story would've followed Amberspark, the medicine cat of Scarabclan, left alone after the entire clan was wiped out by the virus while she was away (sound familiar? this took inspiration from rootedclangen >:) ), now alone with 3 orphan kits to rebuild the clan.

Here's the problem though; a few days after I finished the first two panels, I had switched to a new computer -- and by doing so, I had lost all the files to Scarabclan, so I could not continue it :(( Sucks because I was genuinely motivated to continue with the story!! I had worldbuilding written down for both Scarabclan and the other enemy clans as well. Sighhh

I think that Root would be raised together w/ Pine, Grove, and Spindle, as a sort of adopted sibling. If they're found at relatively the same time, Root would be a moon or two older than them, knowing the comic starts with her at 3 moons old.

Her & the siblings would get along fine I believe, but Amberspark would be a little distant to them. She'd be there to train them and meet their needs, sure, but she wouldn't be an active parental figure emotionally. Before the apocalypse, Scarabclan was quite strict with the code. Amberspark had a mate in secret, though. One day, Amberspark had discovered that she was pregnant with kits -- she knew she'd get harshly punished if anyone found out. She didn't tell a soul, not even her mate, and went into the woods alone that night to find an herb she knew would stimulate a miscarriage. She fell ill because of it, to the confusion of her clan, and had recurring nightmares until she recovered. She feels especially guilty over the thought of having her own kits since then. She feels sympathy towards Rootkit, though, for also having to see her clan die through similar circumstances while being so young.

HOW TO PROTEST AGAINST ROBLOX'S NEW CHAT POLICY

As many of you likely know by now, Roblox has recently released a pretty awful update; one that requires users to submit images of their government ID and face to be scanned by an AI so that they can verify their age. If they do not do this, they will not be allowed to use the chat in games or talk to their friends. This is very bad for a variety of reasons, but I have a suggestion for anyone who wants to protest against this.

Hop on Roblox and go to the icon with three dots and the word "More" underneath it on the left of your screen. Click the box on the bottom left labeled with the words "Help And Safety." Once you do this, select the option "Help". Look at the bottom of the screen and click on the words "Contact Us". From there, you will be shown a screen that will ask you to fill out some information and check a few items from some drop down menus.

Put in your email, as it's a requirement. However, I'd advise that you refrain from putting in your first name or username. Confirm whichever device you're having the issue on. Click on the drop down under the phrase "Type Of Help Category" and select the option "Ideas & Suggestions". You will then be asked for a subcategory. Click "Feedback". Then, paste this into the large box below the words "Please Describe Your Issue":

"I am concerned with your new policy that deals in implementing age verification via the use of AI collecting data from players' photos and IDs. Not only are you making many of the games on your platform practically unplayable by disabling players' abilities to communicate with one another, you are also putting the minors that you claim to wish to protect in danger of sexual predators. The AI company that you are working with has been known to use the images they take of people in generated works of pornography without the consent of the individual in the image. This is a malicious act and will undoubtedly be committed upon the children who submit to this new law you have enforced. You are doing more harm than good. Repeal this ASAP"

(Paste without the quotation marks)

I know this may seem like a fruitless effort at begging a corporation to change their policies, and perhaps it will be if I end up being the only person to go through with it (which I already have), but there is power in numbers, and I truly believe that if several people submit this appeal, sign petitions, and boycott Roblox as much as possible until change happens, change very well may actually come.

So, as much as I don't normally like begging for attention, I highly request that everyone who sees this uses this method, reblogs this post, and tags any of their friends or mutuals who have accounts on Roblox. Spread the word, make your voices heard, and together we can all make a difference.

@inside-the-mind-of-st4rry @xxglitterbrainxx @callieloveshlvrai @apple-temp @moonsandloons + any other moots/followers who play Roblox!

(I pretty much never make posts like this and this was admittedly quite impulsive/unplanned. If any information about the nature of this update is incorrect, please let me know and I will fix it ASAP.)

Hi I got really mad at the roblox age verification thing today and this is the product

[alexsorsis]

Bonus

[whysowise]

so im upset of the whole "verifying your age to be able to chat" thing for multiple reasons let me rant

first off. no I do not want to give roblox a selfie to verify my age. golden rule of Internet safety is never give anyone private information, this includes what you look like. even my closest online friends don't know what i look like and i plan on keeping it that way why would I trust roblox. this especially upsets me considering most of the playerbase of roblox consists of minors -- an online friend of mine expressed that he does NOT trust roblox with securing photos of childen

secondly idk if they're using ai or moderators to look at it but either way someone's appearance isn't always a determining factor for age, someone can look way younger or older than they actually are. and if they ARE using ai they can fuck up in multitudes of different ways.

thirdly you're only able to talk to people in your own age group (like 2-3 years apart) which I feel like will ruin a multitude of games that rely on communication to be fun or even function. roleplay games, myth games, any game that involves strategy or working together as a team. get paired together with someone who can't talk to you due to your age difference -- or heck, because they aren't verified at all? Good luck finding some other way to communicate! I can see roleplay games reverting back to that old "using rp names to communicate" strategy like they did with the guests, but I'm unsure how it would work with myths or myth games.

fourthly, moderation in games is going to be way more difficult. i mostly found out about the specific details of this situation because of a discord server I'm in for a deltarune rp game on roblox, and they made an announcement on how this update might kill their game. this is what specifically they had to say about moderation, and even developing the game in general:

this update will actively make the experience worse for both the playerbase and game developers/moderators. this wouldn't even be a problem in the FIRST PLACE if roblox actually listened to the community and banned predators and other inappropriate games when they come up! of course complaining online probably isn't gonna do anything but i just wanted to bring attention to this fuckass situation in general so more ppl are aware of it
