I didn't understand the babygirl thing until I met Sampo Koski, like I get it now.
Dont @ me but if ur a white content creator u should probably examine your brown characters (especially the darker skinned ones) and see if u aren’t following a certain trend of making them all aggressive, violent, surly or otherwise outwardly angry

What are coelecanths for those of us who dont know and find it way more entertaing to ask a tumblr blog instead of googling it? Sorry if youve done this one already (you probably have)
OH SNAP TIME FOR AN INFODUMP
Coelacanths are a species of fish that live in two places: the West Indian Ocean, especially along South Africa, and Indonesia. And they live deep down in the water, but not deep enough, so trawler fishermen occasionally snag one.
And that's how we found out they existed, because a fisherman picked one up, and was like "goddamn this is a weird looking fish" and called up his museum curator buddy Marjorie Courtenay-Latimer. She was like "omg weird fish, I love it" and started trying to figure out what branch of fish it was from and that...
That's when it gets funky.
Because, see, these fish, they are OLD. They are OLD AS BALLS.
Not individually (although they could be, there are some debates on that), but evolutionarily. Like, we can trace human ancestors back pretty far, and we know where all our recent ones were and they're not that old.
A coelacanth? Its last ancestor was over 150 million years ago. As far as the fossil record goes, it has not evolved since then.
When Marjorie looked at the sample her fisherman buddy gave her, she was like "dude. This fish is a FOSSIL. I have only seen fish like this IN ROCKS."
Coelacanths spend so much time down in dark deep cold water that they just haven't bothered to evolve. They're like "we're good here, this is awesome, hey check it out, a cuttlefish, that's good eating."
And that's why they're so fucking cool. This ancient-ass fish have just been chilling out for literal millennia, letting the world pass them by, not evolving, just perfectly happy where they are. And now we get to see them and be like "y'all rock."

Heartstar's Rise: Fragments
So I'm making a character sheet for Heartstar, which kind of ended up looking a lot like Hollyleaf's. Basically a summary of all the stories related to her so far, y'know?
And I realized that when I got to Heartstar's Rise, the redux of Tigerheart's Shadow, it was a lot messier than the other appearances. So I figured it may be good form to post the fragments here, separate, until the story's a bit more "solid" so I can edit this post a bunch of times while shuffling things around.
So yeah, as always, weigh in with your thoughts and feedback! This one's looking for changes.
HEARTSTAR'S RISE! The book where Tigerheart becomes leader and resurrects ShadowClan.
I have a couple goals here for Heartstar's Rise, which I'm trying to keep in mind.
First is to show the "growing pains" for the newly arrived SkyClan, and conflict between them and the Kin refugees they're hosting. Why it doesn't work to just be one big Clan.
Show why certain characters want to go home (Blossomfall), why others want ShadowClan back, and also add a couple of characters who want to stay with SkyClan (Violetshine and her polycule of Tree and Dragonfly, as well as Olivenose of ShadowClan and one RiverClan cat, for later drafts).
IMPORTANT: Build out the Guardian Cats that Heartstar and Dovewing are going to encounter into a full culture, with their own idea of an afterlife, and "Leader Power" like the expansion I gave to the Tribe.
And here's a couple of key changes I want to point out;
AVoS was Kin-centric. Heartstar's Rise takes place right after the defeat of the Kin. BB!AVoS ends with the death of Darktail and fleeing of the Kin remnants.
SkyClan was PRESENT for that final confrontation, helping to defeat the Kin and 'earning' their place at the Lake
A new code commandment was added out of solemn respect to the memory of ShadowClan; The Law of the Lake, that all Clans have a responsibility to the preservation of the others.
Several cats defected to the Kin, ones who felt excluded from the Clans after the Great Battle. Mainly young cats who wanted change, but also a fair amount of Dark Forest trainees, halfclan lovers, cats who will come to be called 'codebreakers.' Blossomfall was one of them.
Leaders can no longer give up their lives without losing them all, and they prevent the next leader from getting them as long as they're alive. EVEN IF they have only 1 life left. Rowanstar will call himself Rowanclaw, but he is still leader until he is dead.
Possible prophecy for Rowanstar: "Your heart will make ShadowClan rise"
Here's what I got so far;
I VERY MUCH WANT TO ADD THIS: Keep an eye out for a good moment to place a kit rescue. Several cats had kittens during the Kin's reign; Ivytail (1), Blossomfall (3), Yarrowleaf (2), and I know that I want the Kit Rescue to be a plot point somehow.
It will be replacing Rowanstar's 'canon' death, so maybe towards the end? Dovewing is also coming home with her two kits. Possible connection? But, maybe it would be better placed earlier... basically, keep an eye out, gang. It's towards the end for now unless I find a better spot.
I know I want to open up with Tigerheart in SkyClan, sorting through her thoughts.
First of all, she's thinking of how she spent time in ThunderClan as a refugee during the Kin Crisis, and got between 💕Dovewing💕 and bumblestripe.
She asked Dove to come with her when she left, but Dove felt that there was too much uncertainty. Tiger didn't even have her own Clan she was going back to.
Bitter, Tiger felt like she chose bumblestripe over her. The Drama.
But her Clanmates... well, what's left of ShadowClan, they need her.
Scenes of Tigerheart showing that she is friendly with lots of them, including Ivytail in particular who is suffering from lung damage from Yellowcough and the stress of the Kin Ordeal is just starting to catch up with her. Like she'd been hiding how badly the illness affected her so she'd stay useful.
Ivytail is the new mother of Gullswoop. Remember the Kit Rescue thing-- should Gullkit be taken from her right now and be possibly alive with the kin, and they don't know? May be nice to show her just wishing she knew what happened.
There's also been some tensions with SkyClan
SkyClan doesn't enjoy the bogland that was created during Blackstar's marsh project, and has set up camp in a patch of Pine Forest on the easternmost edge of ShadowClan's old territory, like they want to get away from it.
Leafstar is a fine leader and trying to integrate the big influx of new cats, but most of them are not trained to hunt well in exclusively pine forest.
SkyClan is also, well, polite about the cuisine differences, but... Tiger's going to admit it. Squirrel tastes like dirty butt. The food is dry as hell and they don't use enough juniper.
So ShadowClan and SkyClan cats are having tension when assigned to Kitchen Patrol, unable to come together to make meals that please everyone, and that's 'the indicator' of the same problem everywhere else. For example;
ShadowClan cats are forming cliques and having difficulty joining the Clan broadly
Patrols are awkward as ShadowClan isn't good at hunting the same land as their hosts, this is embarrassing.
Some ex-Shadow construction crew cats are concerned that Blackstar's old dam will degrade and they'll lose cultivated marshland, but Leafstar doesn't 'get' the value in sacrificing several cats for a dedicated patrol to maintain that structure
And all the while, Rowanclaw isn't doing anything.
He hasn't replaced his deputy since Crowfrost died of lung complications due to Yellowcough and the Kin took over ShadowClan.
He's tired. There were so few survivors. Everything happened under his watch and he can't do this anymore.
IMPORTANT: I want to frame this less as "Rowanstar was an incompetent leader and this is all his fault" like canon, and make it more like Rowanstar has lost faith in himself, and THAT is what's making everyone mad at him.
It was Onestar who didn't share the Mullein they needed for the Yellowcough outbreak. It was the other Clans who didn't step in. There was nothing Rowanstar could have done, though he's positive there must have been.
All the while, Tigerheart displays her characteristic cheekiness. I want to adapt this fun scene I wrote where she passes Reedclaw a crayfish soup in the hopes of unsettling her and it doesn't work
DOVEWING TIME
Now that we understand why Tigerheart cares so much about her Clanmates, what they mean to her, and why she was so desperate to get back to them, it's time to visit Dovewing!
DOVEWING IS VERY HARD OF HEARING.
The hearing loss has slowed down, but there is still the threat that she could lose the rest of it.
She wakes up next to Bumblestripe, trying to sneak out of the nest to not wake him too, happy to have a little bit of alone time
Unfortunately he shoots up right away. She wracks her brain trying to think of what did it-- and realizes the nest is dry and probably made a creek she didn't hear
Sneaking has become really hard lately.
Basically some action to show some of the difficulties she's now having with her hearing loss
We get to experience a ThunderClan contrasted to the Shadow Survivors living under SkyClan. How Dovewing feels resentful to how she can't get alone time, the fact that Ivypool was rude to Tigerheart when she was around and their relationship is sour again, Mom Cinderheart and Aunt Fallenleaf and Dad Lionblaze and Stepdad Toadstep
Everything frustrates her, even harmless things.
But what's testing her patience is how cats who were telling her what to do when she had her powers are STILL telling her what to do without them
She's losing her hearing, and several cats are encouraging her to stick to 'regiments' of training. Glyph reading and writing, lipreading, picking up the modified battle command tail signs that Whitewing uses, not letting her leave camp alone
Lionblaze in particular sets her off pretty badly, even when he's 'being nice.'
Contrast to Birchfall who always makes her feel better, her mentor.
After some time of buildup, she ends up snapping at someone innocent who wasn't even really doing anything wrong. Probably Poppyfrost
Poppyfrost: "...I know you've been through a lot lately, but... you have people here for you, Bumblestripe is a good mate, you shouldn't be so afraid of having kits-"
Dove: "???????????????????????????????????? WHAT"
Poppyfrost: *about to repeat her sentence but louder but realizes, ah, that's not how she meant that.*
Dove runs off and has a panic attack
She doesn't want to raise kits now
She doesn't want to raise kits here
She doesn't want to raise kits with Bumblestripe
She doesn't want to raise kits with a bunch of cats breathing down her neck all the time, treated like she's just as much of a child as her children will be
But where will she go??
She turned down Tigerheart's offer to join SkyClan with her, and now she's pregnant with Bumblestripe's litter and he will never leave her alone
Who would take her, if not Tigerheart?
There's no place to go besides twolegplaces
But she is panicking, overwhelmed, and can't handle the idea of being here for one more minute
IF IT SUCKS HIT DA BRICKS
She bolts east, beyond the territory, not caring where she goes as long as it's not here, leaving her entire family behind
GUARDIAN TIME
Tigerheart catches wind that Dovewing left ThunderClan, they're probably surprised and alarmed that she didn't join SkyClan
Poppyfrost/Whoever the cat was that realized Dove was pregnant should speak to Tiger and tell her where Dove was last seen
Tiger, being the cat who knows her best, wracks her brain thinking about where she would have gone
Barn? No, Dovewing hates that Smoky guy
North? No, probably would have scented her on the territory, and besides if you go North enough you hit a twolegplace. She can't hear the cars anymore but she would still hate the smell.
East. Definitely east.
It pains Tigerheart to leave, though. Her friends are all here, she left ThunderClan and Dovewing because they needed her, and they still do... but Dovewing is alone in the wilderness!
So, she goes. She has to.
At least a week or two later, she finds the old Church.
It's a gorgeous ruin, surrounded by lush flora that she's only ever seen in Twoleg gardens. The church is one of the most beautiful dens she's ever seen, in spite of being half-human construction, the other half is well-grown vines and sod. Like a living structure.
It's half as beautiful as Dovewing, so surely she must be here.
BIG WIP TERRITORY
I know that I want the Guardian's thing to be that they are very good caretakers of their areas. This is because these cats are BREAKAWAYS from the ancient Lake culture, the fact that their home was lost to environmental destruction gave them this cultural value.
They are much better builders than any other group. Clan cats have a specialty for Combat, Tribe cats have a specialty for Hunting, Guardians are Construction.
They rely on managing prey-rich territory and their fighting ability is really just enough to defend themselves.
The same way that Clan cats have Stars and Tribe cats have a Stoneteller, Guardians have their own unique power. Their leader ("Corekeeper", maybe? Seer? Gardener??) has a supernatural ability to understand what's inside their 'sphere of influence,' and the needs of any plants that live there.
So in a roundabout way, the leader is all-seeing as long as their territory is verdant. Grass and moss can tell them exactly where an animal is stepping, and how large it is.
So it was known immediately that Tigerheart was just a single cat, not an invading group
Dovewing has been fitting in pretty well with these cats. They speak a completely different language, one that Dovewing couldn't understand even if she could hear it.
They have a couple chapters exploring how life could be different. Tigerheart aches thinking about the dam back home and how the simple lattices they use just to grow flowers puts Blackstar's ambitious project to shame.
They grow close with some of the Guardians' younger members, plus an older one who tries to meet Tigerheart's language halfway. He teaches her the word for "Spire."
Some time later, there is a conversation just after Light and Shadow are born; "What does a Clan mean to you?"
Dovewing continues before she can answer: "To me it means trees, the forest, it's something you work for. Everyone gives something to it and it's greater than the sum of its parts."
Tigerheart frowns at that, thinking of how she's going to share her response.
She draws Rowanstar, Strikestone, and Ivytail. A crayfish. A bowl around the crayfish like she was making it into soup. The grave of Flametail with the flowers around it. Frogs. Dawnpelt with three little kittens at her side.
She really gets into it, pouring her heart into the drawing, it gets bigger and bigger, she has to stand up and move around
And just when Dovewing thinks that either Tigerheart's lost her marbles or forgotten she's there, she starts drawing circles around the little doodles, and then lines that connect the circles all together
The last thing she draws is a final bubble, and connects that to a line in the web that binds all these things together.
In that empty bubble, she writes, "Clan."
Dovewing stares at that, unmoving, her expression serious and thoughtful. After what seems to be a long time, she says simply;
"gay"
(NOTE: I wrote the line as a joke to show to my partner and they laughed at it and said I would be a coward if I didn't show it. Enjoy before i edit for draft 2)
It hits Dovewing, in that moment, that Tigerheart has a very different idea of what a Clan is. Dovewing believes it's about service, sacrifice, the things that Lionblaze taught her. That you're born as an asset, and your responsibility is to contribute to that collective as much as possible
But Tigerheart believes that a Clan is all the connections between the things associated with it. That it's a series of links between friends, family, land, and prey. That to be 'part' of a Clan is to be part of the fabric.
She thinks back to ThunderClan, even the people she loves like Birchfall, and the pressure they put on her to 'meet' her potential at all times
The contrast to what she likes about this life, with the Guardians, where there are no expectations
She thinks about her kittens, how Tigerheart fell in love with them immediately, her worries that she would have nowhere to go. That Tigerheart HAS somewhere to return to, where she wants to be.
I want to retool the line from the canon version, where Dovewing says "I will never make you choose between your Clan and me." Something about the line bugs me.
I want to retool it to either Tigerheart assuring her she'll stay with her no matter what and Dovewing deciding that's not right either, or the two of them having a synthesis where Dovewing decides that home is wherever Tigerheart is
Dunno, still thinking about it.
BUT IN ANY CASE--
Spire and some of the other cats Dovewing got close to come up. Spire is touched.
Drawing all that on the ground communicated something deep to them. It was a beautiful way to demonstrate Tigerheart's connections. Re:Guardian Power; connection to their territory.
(I want for at least Spire to be privy to the same power their leader has, still working on this)
Ant, Cinnamon, and Blaze all have their reason for why they want to come
Ant is a little older than Dovewing and Tigerheart, and became a good friend of theirs. He wants to help them get home with the kittens; he'll go wherever Dove goes.
Cinnamon is bored, she wants to try new things and go to new lands. She's tired of growing roses, and has never seen a 'swamp' before.
Blaze is young and restless, he's ready to set out and have his own life
In-canon, Spiresight comes along too. He's the adopted father of Blaze and that's why he came along, but I'm not sure if I need Spire to leave with them. I think it may be best for him to just remain behind, maybe be the leader of the Guardians, change his name to "Spire-Seer" as a title referencing the new Guardian ability.
But anyway, if Spiresight doesn't go as well, then Blaze wants to make a new legacy separate from his father, be his own person.
EMPTY SPACE... TIME
They go home and I'm still working on this
I do not care much about the journey back honestly, in-canon the whole thing with the train and drawbridge was cool but I'm not interested in retelling it honestly.
It's not what's emotionally important
I think I want to do something here where Tigerheart returns and we BRING UP THAT KIT RESCUE THING
Instead of Tiger like, dying to a random owl. In hindsight Canon!Tigerheart's Shadow feels like it's full of quicktime events.
Anyway, if that's the case, I need to construct a situation where Leafstar refuses to attack the Kin Remnants and steal children
Some of them belong to cats like Ivytail, but the kits are being cared for by the Kin Remnants, they have fathers/other mothers, and she does not feel right about attacking and stealing them.
Even when a cat like Yarrowleaf breaks away and begs them to go back and help her take her children because they aren't safe with Nettle.
Leafstar still can't say if Yarrowleaf is lying or not, she was part of the Kin just as much as Nettle was.
Like... something like that. She's not being unreasonable but the Shadow cats are understandly upset.
it's why i hesitate to have kits get actively stolen even though it works well for dramatic setup, that would cross a line and force Leafstar to go "save" them, else look like she's just taking stupid pills
I want to display that Tigerheart as a leader will make controversial, ShadowClan-centric choices, and has a very, "diplomacy is how I get what I want" mindset.
Leafstar: "Wow this is a complicated situation and I'm not sure what the right call is here, I think I'll play it safe and watch the situation evolve before making a choice I regret."
Tigerheart: "Wow this is a complicated situation. Good thing I'm always right and incapable of being wrong, ever 💕"
Rowanclaw is still refusing to lead, backing up Leafstar. He says there is no ShadowClan.
--Tigerheart has entered the group chat
"damn bitches youre living like this"
Big damn speech: "I've gone far in my travels, met strange cats and lived by their ways. I've become a refugee of ThunderClan, a warrior of SkyClan, a grower of the Guardians, and a traveler with no home at all. I became a lover, a mother, like a Star with each life I became something new and yet remained the same. We are ShadowClan cats, and it's time we made our own choices!"
YEEHOOO
Cats split. ShadowClan returns to its own territory and plans to attack and get their kits back
The Kin Remnants are small but fight ferociously
This is a big change from canon, btw, where Sleek comes home to steal children and bully Rowanstar because she's evil or something.
Insert battle here
Possible kill; Ivytail, who was willing to fight to the death to get her kitten back, reunited for only a brief moment.
Though it also works that no Clan deaths happen besides Heartstar, since I plan to kill a lot to the Kin and the final stand against Darktail
Either way, it's bloody, lots of injuries. Rowanstar arrives in the last minutes to aid the fight, and gets killed... along Tigerheart.
But Rowanstar comes back to life and Tiger doesn't
Got killed in her first fight. GIRLBOSS
Rowanstar wakes up at what should be his daughter's funeral.
Shadowkit is staring at Tigerheart's body (formative moment unlocked)
Dovewing should be sad, but she looks furious. She's a hulking, angry beast, glaring down at Tigerheart's tiny body.
Mid-obituary, interrupting whatever Puddleshine was saying, she straightup snatches the corpse
Explains NOTHING, BYE
In another draft I may just explain the aftermath here, have Rowanstar wake up after Dovewing has already done some preemptive graverobbing and learn from Tawnypelt that she's run to the Moonpool
I could keep Shadowsight's Formative Moment by having him get kidnapped, too, so Heartstar died trying to get her kids back
(See how it's a hard choice between kidnapping vs no kidnapping?)
In any case, the next scene is the climax
ROWANSTAR'S DEATH
Seeing Tigerheart here, at Dovewing's feet, the reflection of the pool turning her starry-silver...
Rowanclaw's stomach is cold like ice
Tawnypelt tries to reason with Dovewing, ask what she thought was going to happen
Dovewing doesn't answer, if she can hear her at all. The rage is melting away into despair.
Hope is slipping away like raindrops through claws, like stars at the start of a cruel dawn
Like a son to icy cracks, a daughter to rancid lies, a deputy to someone's selfish games
The thought of 7 more lives of losing everything is unbearable. His claws slide out. He had rejected his name, but he is a leader now.
"Tigerheart is my deputy!" He bellows at the stars, charges forth, and splashes into the water with her under his paws
He kicks furiously, swimming as deep as he can.
His vision blurs and fades, bursting into a starry field of colors and awestruck ancestors.
They say nothing. His gaze darts from cat to cat, until he spots Tigerheart there among them.
When he plunges back into life, he swims harder
His lungs are burning and his muscles ache, the pressure of the water crushing him, and there's no bottom in sight
Each time he dies, he sees Tigerheart there, next to Flametail and Dawnpelt, Newtspeck, Littlecloud
And each time he comes back he sees her face below his claws.
When he comes back the last time, her eyes burst open and she thrashes at the claws gently lodged in her chest fur with confusion
Rowanstar is exhausted, but finds the last bit of strength in his body to flip them, lodge his paws onto her belly, and thrust her up
Beams of starlight dancing on his face, Rowanstar is embraced by the endless darkness at the bottom of the Moonpool.
Heartstar bursts from the pool, coughing, sputtering, fur clinging to her body and looking like a wet rat
Without hestiarion, Dovewing leaps into the pool, teary eyed and calling her name
"dOVEWING you wont BELIEVE what I've been through"
Heartstar is marveling about her death, her fetching, how she was looking at the patrons of Silverpelt before Rowanstar plucked her out
Dovewing hauls her out of the water and starts licking her dry, and Tawnypelt hesitates to join them. She look back at the Moonpool
The thick ripples lap at the rim for a moment, vanishing rapidly as if she water was smoothing itself out. Soon, it's as still as the day it was discovered, liquid-black and reflecting starlight as if it were a fallen piece of the night sky.
Tawnypelt stares into the darkness, seeing nothing.
"Be starlight that lights my path, Rowanstar. I love you."
She goes to help Dovewing dry off her daughter
Epilogue
One week later, Heartstar is assessing her Clan.
The cats address her as Heartstar; confirmation that it is bad luck for cats to share a title.
That's a reason why the ancestors are consulted before warrior name ceremonies, and they gave Heartstar a new name when she rose
Translator's note: Though her suffix was -babun, "heartbeating," her new prefix is the future tense, Babi, "heart will beat." It's in reference to her resurrection.
The kittens that were won in the raid are acclimating
Especially Oat and Flax, Yarrowleaf's kids, now that they're away from Nettle.
If Ivytail died, Gullkit is still having a hard time. She follows the other kits around but has behavior problems, is a bit of a bully.
Apprenticeship will help her a lot.
While making the rounds, Blossomfall approaches Heartstar.
"I've been thinking about what you said, about living a dozen lives but still having ShadowClan be part of you. I think I feel the same way... I want my kits to know their auncles"
Heartstar does the cat equivalent of clucking her tongue, "will they take you take you tho"
"Yes assholestar. They reached out to me, my family wants me to come home"
Heartstar sighs lamentiously. One adult warrior and three future ones is a lot to lose. But,
"Divided loyalties won't do anyone any good. Well, if ThunderClan wants you back, it's worth taking a crackle at!"
"Your puns suck" (Blossomeese for thank you)
Construction patrol comes back, caked with mud. Cinnamontail fits right in. She's got some great ideas about lattices, whatever that means
After all this, assuring that everything is running smoothly, Heartstar finally gets to loaf down next to her wife and a crayfish soup, perfectly spiced.
There are still problems; SkyClan takes territory to the east, and RiverClan got waay too comfy with having exclusive fishing rights in the dammed pond and marshland to the west. Knowing Mistystar, she'll start throwing her weight around in the next moon as the seasons change, and when that happens SkyClan will be an issue as Shadow needs that territory
But for now, ShadowClan is thriving, Lightkit and Shadowkit are growing well, and Juniperclaw is a fine deputy like his father Crowfrost.
Next to Dovewing and the rest of her friends and allies, in the mud and the mushrooms, marshy moss underfoot and wet, chilly breeze that calms a wild heart above... they are finally home.
Now this is a the way to close a store
Really wish we could fight him again 😔
my writing fundamentally changed forever ten years ago when i realized you could use sentence structure to control people’s heart rates. is this still forbidden knowledge or does everyone know it now
did you know?
you love chubby springtails.
you love them. you have to.
(likely Sensillanura sp., Vitronura giselae and Neanura muscorum)
if you had to compile a "best moments" compilation of the bonefall rewrite, what would you want in there?
Hmm... Like a top 5? Sure, here's some favorite moments I think about a lot in no particular order;
Fallen Leaves sees her mother Squirrelpaw as a young woman after a hundred years of isolation, knowing that her wait is almost over
Bristlefrost lining up to body check Ashfur out of heaven, burning up as a shooting star
Speckletail buying just a little bit more time by driving a bulldozer into a ravine
The moment that clarity washes over Mistyfoot in the middle of another Clan argument when she looks up at Leopardstar, catching her fascinated gaze, Tigerstar amber, Dark Forest red, the setting sun turning the highstump into the silhouette of the bonehill below her. She realizes that Hawkfrost wasn't the cause of the fighting in RiverClan, he was a victim in his own way, and these ideas will not die unless they are killed.
Bramblestar gives Stupidhead a dishonor title so funny and bad that it backfires and everyone just laughs at him
Attention artists, art theft!

I saw i lot of artworks including my own and from a lot of other people!
This is the website. If you search you name you will find some of your artworks they are using. And here is the petition to end this website.
This is affecting a lot of people, not just myself and if you are an artist either by photography or drawing they are most likely stealing from you too.
So check it out and sign the petition, please.

This doesn't apply to necessarily right now, but I am in need of a beta reader to read over and edit my chapters before I publish them.
Specifically for the blue lock kainess royalty au fic I'm writing right now.
It is going to be a longer fic with 13 chapters and roughly 5k~ words per chapter (VERY rough estimate though). I'm trying out new things with the story and writing and trying to make it more polished, so it would be nice to have an editor to look over it and give critique.
Once again, not urgent right now bc I'm very slowly making my way to finishing the first draft of chapter 1 and exams are coming soon, so perhaps in a couple of weeks when classes are over.
If anyone is interested, feel free to shoot me a dm :) the help would very much be appreciated!

So internet archive lost their lower court case. They're appealing, and have a good chance with the 2nd circuit, but they need help. Here's a link directly from one of their librarians for how you can help.
Merchandise Guide!
I think, as time Passes And I experience a wave of new items I must address, that I will do so accordingly and place them up for others to see! (I Am very new to this, So Please Bare with me!) But for those inquiring about this, I will address it as follows! Please do NOT BUY or SELL anything with Welcome Home's name attached in any way, NOR any of its characters, (Wally Darling, Frank Frankly, Home, etc!) I presently am not involved with ANYONE in regards to merchandise at this moment in time. I need to organize my side of things at the moment, until then I do not have plans for merchandise! Please respect my copyright and the pace at which I must currently sustain.
If you have found skins for sale on websites such as Roblox or VR, they are unauthorized and I will work on removing them at my own pace. I do not mind if models or skins are made, as long as they are given away freely to others and are not sold.
My Fan Merch policy may change as I actually begin creating Welcome Home, but at this moment in time I ask for you NOT to sell or buy merchandise of Welcome Home on places like Etsy, RedBubble, conventions, etc. I will work on removing them at my own pace. (I am very sorry to do this, but to see folks so quickly move to profit off of my work is very strange.) Even if it is for yourself on larger sticker or shirt websites, please make it yourself and do not have it listed publicly to be sold and bought by others.
Please do not sell images or characters that have Welcome Home attached to their inspiration (I only ask that you remove the title, 'Welcome Home!' I don't mind that they are inspired, but Welcome Home is very important to me, please do not attach it to your work to sell characters!) This includes fan-created games, adoptable characters, and AU projects.
Also if you are a company (Similarly to the likes of Hot Topic, you know) You may NOT sell Welcome Home Merchandise of any kind. Again, I am not involved with anyone at the moment in regards to merchandise, please respect the pace at which I handle this newfound workload.
HOWEVER, I think I am fine if you commission One-off pieces from other ARTISTS. (Small plushes, tattoo designs, crotchet works, etc!) As long as they are not sold in mass supply or advertised as such! I do not consent to my characters being sent to plush-making websites and businesses. I do not consent to my artwork being sent through sticker or shirt-making websites as well. I also don't mind if you make it for yourself or your friends, too! Or even make it for yourself! Thank you all for respecting my restrictions and time!
