thank you all for following this mini obsession of pixelated cats on a beach! I'm looking forward to seeing how far this series will go and what twists will turn!

also expect this to be the only "detailed" fish in this series-

what are your guys's favorite prey ??? 🍖

Coldpaw, how has learning how to be a medicine cat been? It must be hard without a mentor.

also before anyone starts jumping a ship train, Shadepaw and Lightpaw are coded to be littermates. siblings. I just thought it would be fun for the plot

and so we begin First | Next

More clangen cats :]

Another leader + deputy combo, this time for Hazyclan in the wastelands.

sprites (c) @officialclangen

so i guess scorchstar just. fucking murdered sunwish??? which is wild. a lot of cats vaguely disliked sunwish so i suppose she was a bit of a dick, but scorchstar just fucking Despised her from the start, and it was mutual. didn't think it would end in murder tho!

rip rum :( honestly im surprised he lived this long, he was 257 moons old

nick is autistic and his special interest is murder

so otterkit and ivyleaf look suspiciously alike. same pelt color, pelt pattern, eye color, even the same trait. the only difference is that otterkit's fur is long and ivyleaf's is short. also, otterkit's non-clan parent is apparently a tom. just saying.

rejoice. apprentices be upon ye

something something MOURNingbloom. lol

OKAY I WENT THROUGH A FEW MOONS AND ITS GOTTEN CRAZIER

okay, uh, since Cloundpaws training was taking so long, only at 36 experience, i decided to change their mentor and changed it to Stormheart just to see what would happen and Cloudpaw im SO SORRY. Emberstripe influcened them to be more likely to bicker and make impulsive decisions while Stormheart influenced them to have trouble adapting, follow rules and bicker with others.

their traits are now lonesome and a goodclimber and their warrior name, Cloudspore, was given at 13 moons old.

literally FOUR moons later, Stormheart is MURDERED by Beetlestars mate, Redsnap who made it look like an accident! I didn’t even know Redsnap disliked them! while invenstigating this, I found out that not only was Rensnap Beetlestars mate, but CLOUDFURS adoptive parent, I had COMPLETELY forgotten about that.

Clangen rambles; Ravenclan

When I started this run, I was just considering doing an ‘evil’ run, not many plans besides wanting a bloodthirsty leader and wanting to focus on negative traits and antagonizing on patrols. I don’t ever post my clangen stuff rlly but this save has been so fun (INSANE?? I DIDNT REALIZE A LOT UNTIL I STARTED TYPING THIS??)  that I have to,

Clangen rambles; Ravenclan

When I started this run, I was just considering doing an ‘evil’ run, not many plans besides wanting a bloodthirsty leader and wanting to focus on negative traits and antagonizing on patrols. I don’t ever post my clangen stuff rlly but this save has been so fun (INSANE?? I DIDNT REALIZE A LOT UNTIL I STARTED TYPING THIS??)  that I have to,

and so, We start with Scornstar, who is bloodthirsty trans she-cat with natural intuition.

and their mate Bluedawn, Who is a grumpy she-cat and a fast runner

the other warriors aren’t super important for what I’m talking about but I’ll post about them if anyone is interested, but i do have to say that I was trying to prioritize negative traits but some of the clan had traits I didnt want like righteous and loving, so like 3 moons in I send them a patrol together and get the storm event and they both drown. and over time, every cat that had a trait I didn’t really want had somehow died, leaving only the leader, deputy, medcat, and a single warrior left. The generator unintentionally did exactly what I was thinking.

okay I didnt think she was important but I guess she is?? 5 moons into the clan, a rogue abandoned their 1 moon old kit to the clan and has been living with the clan since, The kits name is Cloudkit, was later mentored by Scornstar and was later named Cloudfur at 13 moons.

anyway, at moon 13, Bluedawn and Scornstar have a litter of two kits, Beetlekit, a tom and Sandkit, a she-cat.

I don’t remember their original traits as kits but Beetlekit has always had a connection to starclan, and Sandkit was always kind.

Beetlekit gets renamed to Beetlepaw and is apprenticed to Scornstar

Sandkit gets renamed to Beetlepaw and is apprenticed to warrior Cloudfur, who is ambitious.

Scornstar influenced Beetlepaw to be more likely to heed their inner compass, use teeth and claws over words, think things through and be cold towards others. They graduated to a warrior at 12 moons old, given the name Beetlecove. Their traits are now Bloodthirsty & strong connection to starclan

Cloudfur had tried to turn Sandpaw towards being colder and more aggressive but instead just influenced Sandspeckle to refrain from socializing with their clanmates, and learn how to bend the rules and think things through. Because of their refusal to antagonize and fight, They were held back a moon. Depite this, their traits are still compassionate a beloved kittsitter & good mediator. At 13 moons they finally graduated and were named Sandspeckle.

- Beetlecove gets caught by two legs and is lost

- Bluedawn retires and another cat is named deputy since Beetlecove isn’t there.

-After a few moons, Beetlecove returns and is named deputy, Scornstar deciding to demote the previous one.

- Scornstar lost a life to green cough while Beetlecove was gone and then 3 at moon 57 and the rest at moon 62, meaning Beetlecove takes their place and is named Beetlestar.

At moon 71, Cloudfur announces they’re having kits even though she doesn’t have a mate, and two moons later dies giving birth to Sandfreckles kits. (I had no clue they were so close and completely forgot that Cloudur was Sandfreckles mentor, I didn’t even realize I had that setting on) Theres two kits in the litter, Stormkit and Cloudkit, both toms and both named after Cloudfur.

When apprenticed, Stormpaw was originally apprenticed to Sandspeckle, who mananged to influence them to make more impulsive decisions and become better at resolving arguments before Beetlestar decided to mentor Stormpaw themself in hopes of also making him bloodthirsty and influenced them to make their own decisions. Shickingly, Stormpaw finishes their training at 10 moons old, name Stormheart and honored for their ferocity.

Cloudkit was named Cloudpaw and apprenticed to their uncle, Emberstipe, whos the lonesome but incredibly clever younger kit of Bluedawn and Scornstar (They had 3 litters together.) Cloudpaw is shameless and constantly climbing but is still in training, with how it’s going, it might seem as if Cloudpaw might graduate late.

they were described as being cold and had “unshakable ties to the dark forest” which is. kinda metal imo

Are you having a giggle
