CREATUREFEST JULY 2025

[skinstealer]

welcome to the Homebrew Deviants CREATUREFEST event! this is a casual event in the vein of virtual pet "group hatches", with a lot more wiggle room and freedom. 

the aim of the game is simple- everyone gets together and starts playing with some manner of virtual creature/being, whether that's a traditional vpet toy, a simulation game on your computer, a game with some manner of virtual life element, anything, at the more or less same starting point. 

people share what they're up to and how things are going when and how they like, and at the end of the day, it's an excuse to play games together and connect with folks even if we bring different mediums to enjoy weird little creatures to the table.

the optional theme of this CreatureFest is Tide Pool, and can mean anything you want within that. 

SUGGESTED GAMES YOU COULD DO BUT ARE NOT REQUIRED OR LIMITED TO IN THE SLIGHTEST
IRL Vpet/Robot Toys such as Tamagotchi, Furby, Digimon, etc
Petsites such as Neopets, Webkinz, etc
Simulation games such as Sims, Petz, Creatures, Digimon World, Wobbledogs, etc
Games with creature elements such as Spore, Squeakross, Digimon Stories, Pokemon, Beastieball, etc
Games with like a specific minigame area that isn't even the main focus but you COULD do it like Chao Garden in Sonic Adventure or any other variety of side mechanics in god knows how many games
Mobile Apps/Idle Games, i'm out of the loop but i know Neko Atsume exists still. it counts. 


CHALLENGES YOU COULD CONSIDER DOING BUT YOU ARE ALSO NOT REQUIRED OR LIMITED TO IN THE SLIGHTEST
Raise a digital creature from birth to whatever logical endpoint there is
Make a character of some kind for your creature(s)
Make art of your creatures in whatever form you like
Post updates about your creatures and discuss how things are going
Make up challenges of your own to either further your own experience and/or throw at other participants
Engage with other peoples' creatures/posts
Just vibe with folks at your own pace

the CreatureFest will start on FRIDAY, JULY 4TH and have no set stop date, and late participation/joining is zero issue at all. literally don't worry about it. just hop in and party. 

thread below can be used for any commentary, update posts, questions, whatever, and i'll go whip up a discord channel to match.

[aeshihowl]

Joining for sure with Tamagotchi Connection!
Might phase in and out with Petz and Squeakross

[AceOfNothing]

I'm joining! I'm gonna be playing clangen, I've set up my clan but I plan to actually start tomorrow. 

LORE

   Shoreclan had been struggling for many moons, their numbers dwindling and their young leaving for other clans. Eelstar had unexpectedly become leader, but he felt unprepared for the weight of a clan considering his age. It hadn't mattered though, the few moons of whining he had spent with Breezethistle listening, as starclans wrath finally accumulated in a flood, leaving only the young medicine cat and a 4 moon old kit. 
   With no one to bury, the two cats huddle together for comfort, and try to sleep. Starclan sends Elmdrop, the last mediator, to tell Breeze to adopt the kit. To keep their memory and spirit alive, and attempt to rebuild the clan anew. She renames it Coastalclan, hoping a new name brings a fresh start.
Clan Age: 0 moons
Cat number: 2
Food: Good
Medicine: Poor

SET UP/EXPLANATION
So
I killed all the cats. I know there's technically a way to edit the files but I... don't want to. Let the cats mourn. Theres a small chance this will kill fwiw if they decide to mourn and become unable to do anything but uh... wavekit can't hunt yet anyway. 
I decided that I wanted to keep the medcat because any time I don't the single cat dies or is sick for most of the year. Yes I've tried similar challenges before, I had to start making threads for myself on discord to track different challenges.

 
This is Coastalclans base (The tidepools) and this is the symbol I chose for the clan. Says Bay but looks tidepooly to me


Heres the other clans! There being 5 might be very bad for me! We're also gonna be set on resting and recovering for a few moons so I don't accidentally start a war.


I didn't mean to pick two tortie girls to start, I thought Breeze was orange and white. Wave I did want a tortie/calico for the future leader... My clan I get to pick my nepo baby. But yeah I wanted to start with two pretty cats.
I should also explain: I have all the breeding settings on, so cats ignore biology for having kittens and they can have an unknown second parent. For The Drama. The cats automatically pick their own leader/deputy (well... after Wave. Shes my nepo baby) and warriors and elders can chose to be mediators.
I Do Plan to have a cat become the mediator once I have like 5, whether they want to or not. I just like having one... for the drama.


Now I like sending my technically evil cats (dark forest ties/bloodthirsty). Riverrush is not that. He's being unfairly punished for drama because I wanted a cat there
I could have sent Ravenstar there (Shes my starclan guide) but... I dont know. I felt like her being seemingly evil was a good reason for Starclan to punish the now dead shoreclan. Dark forest doesn't actually do anything so... yeah she gets to stay. Sorry River.

I wanna draw my starting cats at least. Probably just keep it simple.
Meaning just Wave and Breeze.

LORE

Moon 1
   The first moon is smooth. Calm, it hasn’t been calm in so long. Breezethistle takes time collecting herbs, rebuilding what was lost

Moon 2
   Wavekit becomes an apprentice officially, starclan is pleased by this and expresses such to Breezethisle. She knows Wavepaw is destined for something great but fears it will come to her far too quickly. She hopes not having a true mentor won’t hurt her daughter.
   Wavepaw is excited to be able to train and hunt, but her first mission out leads only to storm clouds. Her paws carry her home quickly, and she huddles in the medicine cat den with her mother. Neither of them is ready for another flood. 

Moon 3
   Starclan haunts Wavepaw’s dreams. They’re kind, she knows them, but their faces still feel unfamiliar. Maybe it’s the stars. 
   Breezethistle is thrilled to see her interact with them, seeing her handle it so well. So many young cats would struggle, but all challenges Wavepaw faces she handles with grace.

Moon 4
   Prey starts running low. They knew it would, but it’s hard for two cats in this area, with so many larger clans around. Wavepaw hunts and brings back what she can.

Moon 5
   Breezethisle suffers from heat exhaustion. Wavepaw begs one of the other clans to help, and a medicine cat from pondclan visits. Breeze has known her, Fogspot, a small spotted grey she cat with long fur, since they were apprentices. Breeze knew she’d help.
   Wave hunts alone, worried for her mother. Breeze spends… quality time with her dear friend.

Moon 6
   Breezethisle is fine, Wavepaw is fine. They’re hungry but that feels normal at this point.

Moon 7
   Breezethisle sneaks away to meet Fogspot, longing to see her. She is surprised when the cat gives her 4 small kits, explaining through tears that they are hers. Pondclan would be upset with the medicine cat for doing this, having these kits, but Coastalclan needs the numbers. They have to stop, and Breeze must take them.
   Despite the hurt, she does take them, wishing Fogspot a safe trip home. She thinks they look too much like their mother, but Wave doesn’t seem to piece things together. She greets the kits warmly, then goes to hunt. Quietly she seethes, these kits will steal her mother’s love. She knows this is good, but the hunger makes her angry. 
   Breezethisle names two kits after her old friends, a leader taken too quickly and a friend who she has not seen.

Moon 8
   Starclan gives Wavetuft her warrior name, and tells her she must spend the first moon as a deputy. They praise her for her bravery, and tell her she’s destined for greatness. Breezethisle feels proud.
   The kittens are everywhere, and they’re constantly hungry. Even though they can’t eat freshkill yet, the added stress makes Breeze do something stupid while hunting, and she gets injured at a twoleg nest. Her mother assures her starclan understands she’s doing her best.

Moon 9
   With the kits still needing their mother, Wavetuft leaves to meet starclan alone. She’s feeling better, a little upset her sister Eelkit has greencough but starclan wouldn’t possibly let this take the kit so soon. The Moon pond is more inland then she’s used to, in pondclans territory. Fogspot greets her and takes her there, she attempts not to bring up her siblings despite the other cat asking, she should be asking her mother instead.
   Wavestar returns home filled with pride. She knows she can lead Coastalclan to greatness.

Moon 10:
   Much to Wavestar’s frustration, Breezethistle chases a rogue away and doesn’t even attempt to invite them to the clan. They could use the paws around here! She is going to attempt to find Gull, a clan has to be better.
   Eelkit recovers and starts being angry with starclan over it. Breezethisle can only imagine what Eelstar must be thinking hearing her daughter speak ill of him. 
Wavestar, despite her suspicions of her mother’s friend, attempts to befriend Pondclan. 

Moon 11
   Not much changes this moon, no sign of Gull’s tail nor paws. Wavestar is determined.

Moon 12
   Riverkit walks too close to the water and ends up poisoned by something. It’s quick, it hurts, and the clan mourns. Breezethisle noticeably sits away from the vigil, watching, a sadness in her eyes Wavestar knows from moons ago. She thinks they’re both back at the flood. They must move on though; her small siblings look at her for guidance as she once did the stars. Surely, they haven’t angered the cats again. 
Breezethisle’s wound gets worse, and Wavestar fears what this will do if anyone gets sick.

Clan Age: 1 year
Cat number: 5
Food: Empty
Medicine is good but the cat is sick

SET UP/EXPLANATION

OKAY 
Lets see the kits!

2 of these cats already had water names when I had them, yay! Of course the only one that was ALSO a tortie (this is normally hard to get) is the one that dies. Smh, its also the one named after the cat in cat hell.
Heyyyyy should I send Riverkit to cat hell? is that mean. 

Now Wavestar

She's gorgeous. I love her. She also kept talking about starclan talking to her early on, so they like my nepo baby as well.

Behind the scenes peek, I remembered clan missions at like moon 9 and am using that to get extra food. 

yayyy. 

Fogspots isn't from anything, I just wanted to make up a gray cat from another clan. Im sure she's beautiful.
Wavestar also kinda hates the kits. She's probably about to get over this as they age, wish her luck with three apprentices. If I find Gull they're getting one
OH GULL


Gonna find you~ Join the clan pretty kitty

[AceOfNothing]

LORE

Moon 13
Pearlkit, Scalekit, and Eelkit reach apprentice age, and Wavestar feels mildly overwhelmed. But it’s more paws to hunt with, she can’t complain much. Breezethisle is delighted, but worried. 
Pearlpaw is hesitant, she approaches Wavestar and asks to be taken training alone. She tells her leader about nightmares she’s been having, and cries into the older cat's fur. Wavestar promises her she’ll talk to starclan, that she’ll fix this.
She hopes that the gull feathers Pearl finds are a good sign.

Moon 14
Wavestar finally catches Gull, and she’s ecstatic. He’s an older cat, more experienced, something she and Breeze lack. She talks excitedly about the clan and invites him enthusiastically to join. With some light prodding he agrees, and she guides him back to the tidepools. Breezethisle hisses at him, the scar on her face finally healed but the itch lingering. He takes the name Gullfeather, Pearlpaw welcomes him eagerly.
While deciding who to re-apprentice to Gull, Starclan sends a message. Eelstar wishes for the kit with his name to apprentice under the new cat and admits that Pearlpaw is destined for… something else.
Wavestar talks to Pearlpaw, and they agree she’d be better as a mediator.

Moon 15
This moon passes with ease. Eelpaw is snappy, she is not a big fan of Wavestar prying into her life. Pearl worries for her.

Moon 16
Gullfeather disappears for a few days and reappears with new borns. He explains that, in his rogue life, he had had a kitty pet mate. She won’t join him and leave her two legs, and she demanded he take the kits. He seems distraught, Wave doesn’t understand how someone could do this. Breezethisle takes this personally, as a slight at her.
Gull names the two kits Coralkit and Driftkit, and he manages to find a significant amount of prey while hunting. Wavestar hopes their food struggles are over.

Moon 17 
Scalepaw frets over horrible, horrible, nightmares. He cries to the leader, he loses sleep, he snaps and shouts at other cats. Something bad is happening but no one is quite sure
In Starclan, the kit disappears. No one knows what to tell Breezethistle when she asks about her kit. Riverrush has had his revenge for now, and Riverkit suffers for it. She tries reaching out to her siblings, but they only see monsters in their dreams.

Moon 18
Breezethisle has been sneaking off, much to Wavestar’s annoyance. She holds it together though, and announces, much to everyone’s surprise, that Eelpaw is to be made a full warrior. Gullfeather has been an excellent mentor, and Eelnewt thanks him for his hard work. 
Coralkit catches kittencough, or maybe she’s had it. She’s moved to the medicine den, away from her brother for the moon. He’s upset, but tries to be patient, and gives Breeze thistle gorse flowers, hoping they’ll help.
Gullfeather and Wavestar find a kit and take it back to camp. She’s nursed back to health, and they decide to name her Brackishkit. She’s just a moon behind Gull’s kits, so luckily, they can help her adjust to clan life.

Moon 19
Gullfeather is ambushed while out on patrol. He hasn’t lost his touch though and easily escapes the rogues to head back to camp. He realizes, in that moment, that this truly does feel like home.

Moon 20
Breezethisle returns one night, with four small kits. Wavestar hisses at her, demanding her presence in the leader's den once the kits are settled in the nursery. Wavestar’s tail flicks in annoyance as her mother laments her whirlwind romance with a kittypet, whose owners would not let her keep the kits she just knew, so she graciously gave them to Breezethistle to raise. Wavestar’s tail flicks asks for her name, Breeze is uncertain. Wavestar’s tail asks if she remembers what was happening today, she did not.
Wavestar hisses that she’s missed two of her kits get their full names tonight, and Breeze winces at that. She tucks her tail between her legs as she apologizes to her leader, then goes to find Pearldusk and Scaleblossom.
Wavestar accompanies her for the rest of the moon on all outings, unfortunately just leading to increased tension.

Moon 21
This moon is less eventful. They gain an allyship with Pondclan, and Wavestar and  Breezethistle are on better terms. Pearldusk talks to them both a lot.
Brackishkit feels like she only ever hears half of what people are saying to her.

Moon 22
Driftkit and Coralkit are thrilled to be apprenticed this moon, but Brackishkit feels left behind. She’s only a moon younger! She wishes Wavestar would reconsider, but the older she-cat says she won’t have her clan mates growing up too soon. Plus… Breezethistle wants to test her ears.
Driftpaw is slightly afraid of Eelnewt. He thinks she’ll be a good mentor, but they’ve never really gotten along. Coralpaw doesn’t have many thoughts about Scaleblossom, she just hopes he’ll be nice.
Brackishkit is distraught to learn she is, infact, missing things cats are saying to her. Breezethisle says it’s “partial hearing loss” and she doesn’t quite know what that will mean for her. She wants to be a warrior, she’s so close.

Moon 23
Brackishkit is expecting the worst, that Wavestar won’t let her do anything. Won’t let her be a warrior for fear she’ll miss too much, won’t let her listen to cat's woes with Pearldusk, or the worst fate, make her join  Breezethistle in the medicine den. Breezethisle has never liked her, and surely the other kits will tease her endlessly.
Wavestar, however, takes her personally as an apprentice. As the clan cheers for Brackishpaw, she feels like she’s truly where she belongs.

Moon 24
DoeClan has declared war. Wavestar is sure they haven’t done anything to spite the other clans, and hers is so young, they’re not ready for war! Most of the cats are only kittens really. 
They’ll have to try befriending the other clan, even with tensions high. Hopefully Pondclan keeps their promise to help the smaller clan.

Clan Age: 2 year
Cat number: 13
Food: Decent
Medicine: Good!

SET UP/EXPLANATION

So many kits oh my god. AND WAR. Doeclan please don't kill everybody, I haven't even gotten to a second page. 90% of the clan is gray, please hope for me I can acquire more color

Lets start with Gull and his kits
 
Unlike Breeze's first kits, they have "Outsider Roots" so they have either a kittypet or rogue parent. He's freshly an ex rogue so like... yeah that's fine.
I keep letting Gull do dangerous shit on his outings and he keeps living, starclan likes this man.... God I hope they don't kill him immediately in the next moon.

No Breeze and her first kits

I like Breeze's scar. Also, why is Riverkit in cat hell? Her siblings legitimately kept having nightmares and telling Wave, I had to interpret that. 

Her second litter
 
The are not half clan, so Fogspot cant be their mom. Breeze just likes kits I guess, and gray she-cats. She hates Gull btw, I think because of the scar.

Now Brackishkit

I adore her! Someone else not gray yayyy. Brackish for brackish water.

Why did Doeclan start a war? I DONT KNOW. we haven't even seen them in a patrol


So this is part of why I wanted a mediator, I feel like starting a clan with two cats always leads to some tension. 

I dont think theres anything else too impotant so... yeah

[knux400]

Hey everyone! It's the local robot enjoyer here.

I was racking my brain trying to come up with a game to play for Creaturefest, since I don't really play any "pet" games. After thinking about it, I realized this was an opportunity to revisit a beloved series of flash games from my childhood, the Bot Arena series. For those who don't know, the Bot Arena series is a trilogy of flash games made by Luke Haillay that involves building, managing, and upgrading a team of roombas with guns highly sophisticated combat robots. The gameplay is very simple, and the reason I chose it as a "pet" game is because you do not actually have direct control of your robots- you just equip them and let them loose in the arena against teams of increasingly well equipped enemy robots.

The game I'll be playing today is Bot Arena 3, as it's the only game in the series that gives you the ability to order your robots around, although this still isn't direct control. Sometimes your robots will misbehave, or do what they feel like despite your orders, but it's enough player input that I feel comfortable doing a challenge run of the game! The rules are simple: I can never have more than one robot in the arena at any one time. Having multiple robots in my workshop is fine (and I will be doing this since I'm playing ahead before I make the posts), but only one can be in the arena at once. The game is very much not designed to be played this way- you're expected to have two robots at minimum. This is going to make some levels extremely difficult or downright impossible, but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

Let's meet our robot!
 

"She/Them pronouns please!"

This is Schmoo, short for Schmoovement- which they'll be needing a lot of. Poor Schmoo is going to be constantly outnumbered and outgunned, and we'll have to work together to maneuver around and through the enemy team's defenses. Schmoo isn't always going to look like this, since I'll be upgrading them with better armor and weapons after each match. But they'll always have those flashy red highlights! Schmoo will roam around the arena on their own, but I can direct them to either move to a specific spot or follow a specific target. These two commands are essential to victory here, and will allow Schmoo to take down multiple opponents.

Our first match is at the Roxtan Park Arena, where we're greeted by the defending team, Wrecker and Steelheart.
 

"Oh, look at those baby guns. This should be a cakewalk."

Well...

While it's true that the weapons Wrecker and Steelheart are using do inflict less damage than Schmoo's, there's still two of them, and damage isn't the only important thing about a weapon. It's time to talk about FIRING DISTANCE.
 

Wrecker and Steelheart both use the Zintex LP, the cheapest and most basic weapon on the market. There's a lot of information here, but what we're concerned with is the firing distance, which in this case is between 25 to 170 units. I have no idea what these units actually are, since there's no name for them in game, but whatever. This means that if an enemy robot is closer than 25 units or further away than 170 units, the weapon will be unable to target them.

Now, let's take a look at what Schmoo's bringing.
 

As you can see, the damage on this weapon is far higher. But take a look at the firing distance- the range is actually a bit narrower than the Zintex! This is important because it means that there are certain ranges where Wrecker and Steelheart will be able to hit Schmoo, but Schmoo will not be able to hit them. If Schmoo is closer than 50 units away or further than 150 units away, the Zintex provides an extra 25 unit window that allows Wrecker and Steelheart to deal damage to Schmoo with no possible way for Schmoo to return fire.

Luckily, the enemy robots in this game don't have people like me driving them, so they very rarely know to exploit these gaps in firing range. But situations like these, where one robot is able to damage another robot while being safe from retaliation, are essential to beating these arenas while limited to just one robot. Even with the best armor and weapons, Schmoo will always be at a disadvantage due to being outnumbered (and most enemy teams will have the best armor/weapons equipped anyway), so she needs to create situations where the enemy team deals as little damage as possible to them.

With all that in mind, let's take a look at the match and see what we can learn going forward!
 

"I still don't get why you're making such a big fuss. That wasn't even that bad."
"Schmoo you have a literal sliver of health left"

As you can see, despite Wrecker and Steelheart's weapons being weaker, they still deal a significant amount of damage to Schmoo. This means that in order to avoid taking damage, Schmoo needs to isolate a single target. I direct Schmoo to go after Wrecker first, as their armor is weaker. While engaging with Wrecker, I make sure to keep Schmoo as far away from Steelheart as possible. Once Wrecker is down, I direct Schmoo to attack Steelheart, making sure to keep their firing distance in mind and avoid getting too close or too far.

One final note: You may notice that I have many of the arenas unlocked, and a bunch of higher-level items in my inventory. This is because I have no idea whether the game is even possible to beat like this, and I'm playing ahead before I go back and record footage. Rest assured that I'm not going into the arena with any armor, weapons, or chassis (more on those later) that I wouldn't have unlocked by that point in the game.

[gyiyg]

here is Initial Tamagotchi Status
 

i had planned to use my rerelease connection for this, but the current adult resident, Bean, was not at marriageable age beforehand and so there is no baby to raise here yet. Bean is still very cute. we will check back in a bit.
 

with that in mind, i stuck a new battery in my V2 Connexion yesterday and looked to see what data was there, and luckily, there was already a baby waiting there!
 

...a 99 years old baby. i have no idea if the download data somehow glitched out or what happened. i think i might have waited on starting to raise this baby before the batteries ran out and left it on the naming screen for a while or something? but it doesn't generally count that towards the age since it doesn't technically start until you enter the name. i'm assuming something messed up with the data somehow. it shouldn't actually cause any problems, though, other than not being able to reference the age for evolution timing, lol. anyway, this is Pippa.
 

i put him on pause until today so i could start raising with anyone else who is starting today.
 

he must have gotten tired of being a 99 year old baby, because he evolved into Kuribotchi within a couple minutes after unpausing. no evolution weirdness, so it looks like the age being set to 99 doesn't have any actual side effects as thought. so far so good!

EDIT:
in addition to the physical models, last night i also stumbled across Tamaweb, which is an online fan tamagotchi game in a similar vein to Eternitchi (checking the credits, it seems some of the sprites were contributed by the Eternitchi developer, actually), so i decided to try it out, too.
 

the initial egg (named "Mimo" prior to hatching) hatched into a Teletchi. gameplay seems similar to modern tamagotchi releases, with toys available to play with at home, and games in a separate arcade area.
 

there's also a "petting" option, where you can have the tamagotchi come close to the screen and tap it to pet them, sort of like on the Pix. very good
 

like Eternitchi, there's a park where your tamagotchi can meet other tamagotchi and add them to their friends list, who will then age at the same rate as them.
 

rather than evolving automatically, it seems you have to have the tamagotchi have a "birthday" when they are old enough to evolve in order for them to do so, which is cute. (also, you can customize the home in a similar way to modern releases.) the game also appears to have a Missions and Achievements system that gives you some extra points alongside the ones earned from the games for regular tasks done while caring for your tamagotchi, and they can also have specific "wants" that may require you to get certain foods or toys for them in order to fulfill them, which presumably gives more happiness than usual. neat!
i will probably keep an eye on Mimo along with the other two. it seems the Tamaweb characters age significantly faster than their physical counterparts, with Mimo's next evolution time in 9 hours.

[Blue_Fox]

I'm playing dwarf fortress.
The world's name is Snospdastrasp - "The Past Planet"
The fortress' name is Lolokokun - "Graniteshrine"
It's the 27th of Sandstone, in Mid-Autumn, of the year 100.


This is my current fortress. I've got some quantum stockpiles set up for refuse and corpses, and a few bedrooms. Recently got some new migrants in. Doing good on food and drinks, and I'm training the start of a spearman militia.
We're situated on the side of a mountain made mainly of chalk and bauxite for easy steel production. No aquifers because I don't like em, although I will need some way to make something like a water statue installation to keep happiness. I'm using DFHack also, because autotailor is based.
I'm planning on making a nice militia of marksdwarves too, tryin to see how the new update is going. I'll leave updates in this thread as they pop up.

[aeshihowl]

Ok!
I have a Tamaweb also!
I started it this morning on my PC, and it's already evolved from a baby.

   
I transferred it to my phone since time passes even if it's closed. I don't want my fella to become sad!
  


Me and my babe are gonna be starting new Tamagotchis. He's never had one before! We got Tamagotchi Connections and I have a TCOM on the way (enables wifi functionalities) so we'll be able to interact with nonlocal Connections.

[skinstealer]

alright, i allowed myself the whoooole day to get my ducks in a row. let's talk shop. 

my main focuses for this fest are virtual pets irl, virtu.pet (neopets clone), and getting back into petz. i have additional goals of wobbledogs breeding nightmares, beastieball raremorph hunting, and potentially a spore stream. 

i am joint running some vpets irl with como already, but i hatched a new guy today just to get into the spirit of the Group Hatch. our pre-extant roster is:

on my end

Poppyseed, a cho hakkaimon who i really need to digivolve already please get the anime pig out of here. she/her, running on a Digimon X. she is quiet and studious, and doesn't like fighting much. 
Modem, a batabatachi who NEEDS TO EVOLVE ALREADY I DONT KNOW THE EVOLUTION TIMING ON THESE ONES. a bastard who pitches a lot of fits, which is my fault entirely bc i didn't realize the connection remakes have different animations for discipline needed care calls. fuck my gay ass life. he/him. 
Confetti, a lovelitchi/maskutchi on my Anniversary M!x. i enjoy her deeply even if i think she hates me for not feeding her lollipops every fucking moment of ever fucking day. they/she, works as a marine biologist (wow how convenient for this challenge!!!) in my mind. 

on como's end

an unnamed Greymon on a DM20. we keep using he/him for him and he's swole as hell with a 95% winrate bc como is built different. we're considering swapping the devices once both of our guys pass on so  that we can give the diff gameplay styles a try.  technically, we already Mostly raised a digimon jointly on my DMX, and como does say he misses how active that one is. meanwhile i am sweating bullets at Poppyseed.
Wire, a batabatachi hatched with Modem. i consider them gayboys playing. he/him, also a bastard bc i unfortunately instructed como wrongly on his raising too. connection rerelease. 

and then...the new baby. this one will have Lore. 



it started out as a teletchi, as you do on the v3, and had an issue-free baby stage + evolved straight into mohitamatchi. this is technically a generation 2 tamagotchi, as this is my old childhood v3 from the 2000s and as it turns out i had a mametchi up in there from 2021 named Bingo holding a baby already. she is now an OC in my slowly developing virtual pet canon and i like her very much. i don't usually make or talk about fanart stuff, but i think i'd like to try. either way, our tamagotchis arent related in lore and are only really considered CHARACTERS once they're fully evolved irl and locked the fuck in. 



so, what will be the story here? for the tidepool theming i wanted to focus on my experiences on the Connecticut shore, and go for a different beach theme than you usually see going around. i find the atlantic ocean to be deeply neglected in conversations and beach visuals, and i have never really felt at home around the pacific nearly as much since. as such, Confetti will act as a marine researcher at a similarly themed beach area, and is in the middle of researching a mysterious, deep sea tamagotchi who has been sighted for years but never fully recorded- or established contact with as a sapient individual- this will be Abyssal, our new baby. 

i wanted to give Abyssal a fairly generic "deep sea" design for now, that will develop further as it evolves. the end goal of it all is to have a notable, themed individual for our overarching vpet quest- making plushes of every single virtual pet we raise. there are already 3 weirdos inhabiting our home and Confetti is well on their way. plushes are locked in once the vpet is fully raised/dies, and are thus immortalized forever in our home. yes, we are planning to do this with digimon too. i'll die. as such, the resulting OC designs will take their colors/patterns from socks i have in my home to use as main materials, so any sketches you see here will be uncolored for a hot minute. this has been a lot of fun so far! 

3D models are also planned once the anthro designs for everything will be finalized. we go all in here. i need more for-fun stuff. 

next up: the neopets.

i haven't played virtu.pet in a hot minute, but i'm glad to be getting back to it. i picked out four neopets from my hoard and am going to focus on them for however long i keep up with this. here they are:







felicity, a maraquan aisha inspired by maine lobsters. i really want to focus on atlantic ocean animals/beach theming still, so this was kind of an obvious pick. she/they for pronouns.  

tidepool, an island kougra (that pulls from the virtu.pet redesign), based around the kinds of palettes i saw around the connecticut shores. dark rocks with light sand and a different sea color than i see represented often, i'm quite pleased with him.

spot, a spotted tuskaninny who i legit kept mostly the same as the OG design bc i really don't see much reason to change her design at all aside from the hair color. it's just a stellar neopet. not an atlantic sea creature but. im allowed a little cheat. it/its pronouns.

special_chu, otherwise known as chu, a maraquan korbat inspired by cownose rays. i miss ray touch tanks so much, and i think that cownoses are so fucking cute. i have no idea if their flaps will rig. please pray for me.

i'm going to do my due diligence and research animal stuff for these guys, bc i've been enjoying that for morbit species reworks and i think it'd be a great chance to reconnect with those areas of my past. all of their models will be SL avatars soon enough, and i have a little environment made up to take pictures/renders in. we are gonna party. 



lastly, we have...my return to petz. i am still trying to heal my relationship with the game, but i have a lot of plans in mind for this fest. for now, i have two petz from my Mercatz file- Mariana the weird sharkwhale and Rotor the weird manateeseal. i should figure out fun species lore for these! it's what i like best. they seem to get along very well, and are good friends already. 

the overall gameplan is to overhaul [BAD_DEATH] to be more fun for me to run and maintain, as well as give some files a fresh coat of paint. i want this game to be mine to enjoy again, and done My Way. i will elaborate on this further in time. 

as you can see, i haven't really recorded a lot of gameplay here yet, but i'm planning on doing that with my weekend. i just wanted to get these all out the door. 

planning on reading and responding to as many entries as i can in a bit! seeing yall be so enthusiastic is the best shit, thank you so much for indulging with me.

LORE

Moon 25
The other clans wish for the war to stop, and Wavestar is trying, but Doeclan continues their pursuit. She bites her tongue, and attempts peace anyway, avoiding reacting to the other leaders' comments and instead compliments their apprentices. The other clans agree, and the leader can only thank her.
Scaleblossom and Coralpaw find an injured cat while on patrol. She claims she'd been caught in a two-leg trap, her leg is in a terrible state. Riverstripe joins the clan, and everyone is happy for a new face.

Moon 26 
Fishkit, Currentkit, Divekit, and Crabkit are made appreciates, and Wavestar congratulates her mother on raising 4 more kits. Breezethistle is overjoyed.
Currentpaw, after days of pestering Wavestar (with the assistance on Pearldusk), is to be trained a mediator. Wavestar doesn't think they need a second one currently, but with the war still going and Currentpaws obsession with Pearl, she can hardly argue.
Gullfeather is to mentor Fishpaw, Eelnewt is to mentor Divepaw, and Wavestar takes Crabpaw under her own wing. They all chatter excitedly, it makes Wavestar feel good.

Moon 27
The war ends, almost peacefully, and Doeclan has come out considering them an ally. The two clans hardly ever came to blows, but the other leader can only compliment their strength for such a small clan. Wavestar is beyond relieved to find them having lost no cats.
Eelnewt and Brackishpaw, unfortunately, find a cat bleeding out. They try to stop the bleeding, they try to get him back to camp, but unfortunately, he's too far gone. Breezethistle blames the two legs, bitterly.

Moon 28
Driftpaw gains his full name, that being Driftsquid, and feels ecstatic. His sister congratulates him warmly, and he knows she'll be a warrior soon.
Riverstripe's leg finally heals fully, and she gets to fully meet the rest of the clan without feeling ready to claw their ears off. It's nice, she feels welcome.

Moon 29
Coralpaw and Brackishpaw have been honored for their spirit, and dedication. They stand before the clan, now Coralhiss and Brackishtide, and feel ready to take on the world.

Moon 30
Wavestar is, mildly, annoyed by her siblings. Maybe she'd a bit harsh saying they're following Breezethistle's paws too closely, and Breezethistle has been whining at her for not having a mate. There are not many cats but nooo that's not a good enough reason. She knows she's just annoyed, but she doesn't like her clan mates hiding things from her. What if... what if they leave?
Eelnewt claims she was just sharing prey with a starving cat, she doesn't think should be punished for that. Divepaw seems completely unaware that playing with a kittypet was a bad idea, she just wanted a friend who wasn't her sibling. Wavestar lets them both go with light warnings and instead asks her Breezethistle to talk to her kids about strange cats being potentially dangerous.

Moon 31
Fishpaw watches as his siblings are made warriors, Divebramble and Crabgrass. They're early, he tells himself, it's not his fault. But Gullfeather is distant from the clan and seems constantly disappointed in him. He congratulates his siblings, but he feels so alone.
Wavestar manages to find Ariel, a small Tomcat, just outside two leg territory. He seems so excited to see other cats, and he joins her on the trip back to camp. He thrives on meeting the other cats and is beyond thrilled to meet Scaleblossom at his apprentice ceremony. He wants to be the best warrior ever.
Eelnewt and Brackishtide find a sick cat near thunderpath, Colby Jack. He says his humans couldn't afford the vet, these words mean nothing to the clan mates, they take him home anyway.
Driftsquid, alone, finds a cat screaming and being chased by a dog. He attempts to save the kittypet, but finds out the cat and dog are actually friends. He Does Not understand that, but they could use this he thinks. He invites the cat back to Coastalclan, and they follow. They go from Finch, to Rayshimmer.

Moon 32
Breezethistle brings Dancing, the cat she had previously been seen with, back to camp. Wavestar gives her mother a look but invites the cat to stay. She takes the name Sharkdance. Colby Jack is feeling better, he keeps his name but adds Splash to the end. Wave accepts this.
Fishpaw is also invited into this warrior's ceremony, he is named Fishwhisker. Wave laments to Breeze later that she doesn't think he's ready, and Breezethistle seems to agree.
Sharkdance and Coralhiss find another kittypet, a small tom, and the two manage to convince him to join. For his size, he's strong. Wavestar seems in high spirits lately.

Moon 33
Currentpaw, finally, feels ready to take a full name. Pearldusk couldn't be prouder, telling Currentspeckle the clan should be thankful her for gracing them with her presence. Wavestar is almost afraid of the duo.

Moon 34
Sharkdance attempts, attempts, to catch Pearldusk's eye. But Pearl seems unaware of the other cats flirting, and Shark takes it as rejection. She hides from other cats eyes and does dangerous things on patrols. Like getting chased by a dog with Rayshimmer, who only eggs her on.
Perhaps it's related, perhaps it's just them being unlucky, and Scaleblossom returns back to camp alone, yowling about a dog catching Driftsquid. They don't find him or the dog, but Breezethistle sees him in her dreams.

Moon 35
Gullfeather is beside himself with grief for his kit and lashes out at Breezethistle and Wavestar for dragging him into this dumb clan. They try not to take it personally. Wavestar thinks about his age, and frets, will he take it personally when she must replace him.
Yellowcough and Whitecough are fresh in the camp, Breezethistle mumbles she'll need an apprentice soon. Currentspeckle and Rayshimmer become mates, and rub it in all the other cats faces.

Moon 36
It takes a bit for it to click, two moons to be exact, but Pearldusk finds Sharkdance in order to ask her, directly, to be her mate. They're way too close, it's almost sickening, but Wavestar is just happy to see the clan officially Has Mates. They feel even more official now!
There's rogues galore this moon. Breezethistle and Wavestar, while on an outing, attempt to befriend a cat named Coal, but a clanmate scares them off. Pearldusk ends up fighting a loner named Meadow, and Riverstripe chases a kittypet off who tried to steal their prey. Wavestar, while normally being all for inviting loners in, worries them may have to start chasing them off.

SET UP/EXPLANATION

I'm going to start just posting the Cat pics at the end of moon. If someone feels particularly important Ill show them.



My clan is almost a full page!! I do gotta get another medcat, Breeze is technically almost at her limit. Oops. 
I need more bloodlines in the clan, but I think Ill stop looking for the loners soon. Most of the clan is still Breeze's kits.
Also Divebramble is gorgeous and it's not fair, I thought she looked kinda plain as a kit (Not an impressive Tortie) But the small shock of brown looks so much better as an adult.
And I left cheese cats name because its a funny contrast. 


I just wanted to share some patrol art. I like the octopus, I like how haunting the dogs look.
Also, I do wanna say, I write the lore and do not reread so if it makes no sense sorry Im just hype for my cats. 

When we get to page 2 Im turning on mass extinctions

[aeshihowl]

I kept an eye on them during the 4th July party I attended. I also figured out the built in screenshot function.
Pet Melodius.

Melodius has a cute friend they are interested in strengthening their relationship in! They go to the park to frolic in the night.
  
They are potty trained!

Melodius spends time with Zaneta the cat before bed.

They crave for their friend! Invite them over for a quick chat, ignoring their awkwardly shaped life stage.
 
Actually fuck it we ball. Invite the whole squad for a birthday party!
   
They are now... blue. With arms. And an angler antenna? Cool. Fits the theme (close enough).
They're a teen now, with access to Social Media. They check their friends' posts, and make one themself. They post that they're feeling a bit sick today.

Clean bill of health, though. This is the face of a liar.

Pet Melodius anyways because it is possible. I was not able to capture the active petting expression.

Melodius has access to the grimoire!

The skateboard is cool. Comes with a skate park!

Use the smartphone because now we can. Wow!
 
Read a magazine to round it all out. This is the expression they make when petting also.

Upset about not using the toilet.
 
Ok. NOW to prepare for bed.
Kiss the cat while watering the plants.

And tuck in time!

[knux400]

Welcome back to the robot combat zone! Today we'll be fighting Crash and Burn of Tory's Junkyard, but first we've got to cover some new additions to the shop. After every match, the shop will update with new chassis (more on those later), armor, and weapons for your robots to use. It's generally a good idea to keep your robot up to date with the latest parts, especially if you've only got one of them.
 

The only new item in the shop we need to worry about is the Overwatch R200 (no relation, this game released well before the other one you're thinking of).
 

"Ooh, this one has lights on both sides. Truly an innovation in engineering and design."

Armor in this game isn't that exciting, so we won't be covering it too often. All it does is determine how much shielding a robot has, which determines how much damage it takes from attacks. The better armor you have, the longer the bot lasts. There's no other effect you get from armor- all robots are the same size and move at the same speed. The only other thing you have to be concerned about is your chassis' weight limit, which we'll be covering in the next installment.

Here's what Schmoo looks like with the new armor installed.
 

"I don't like it. I look like an American football player."
 

Now let's talk about the robots she'll be facing- Crash and Burn. Crash isn't anything too special, they have the exact same weapon as Schmoo, but with weaker armor. Burn has the same armor as Crash, but their weapon is a bit more interesting- they're using the SPKL-D4, which has technically been available to us the whole time, but I haven't bothered using it. We'll see why in a moment.

"You know what, actually, I'd rather look like a football player than have a trash can for a face."

While this weapon looks intimidating at first, having a higher fire rate and damage per minute than the Raptor DT-01 that Schmoo has, the real story lies in the firing distance. Unlike the DT-01, this weapon has no minimum range and a maximum range of 120 units, making it ideal for close-range combat. However, you'll recall that the DT-01 has a maximum range of 150 units, giving Schmoo a generous 30-unit window where she can deal damage to Burn while remaining completely safe. Another crucial detail that isn't mentioned in the stat screen is the weapon's accuracy. All weapons in this game have a slight firing arc, meaning the bullet will deviate slightly left or right from its intended path. Most of the time this isn't very noticeable, but with this weapon in particular, the firing arc is extremely wide, making it miss around half of its shots. This means that the damage per minute calculation in the stats screen is a bit misleading- it assumes that every shot will connect, which doesn't always happen.

With all that in mind, the main strategy here is to just stay out of Burn's reach. Crash is easy enough to handle since Schmoo has more health. As long as Schmoo doesn't take too much damage from Burn, this match should be fairly straightforward.

 

"...That was even easier than the first one. Are they all going to be like this?"
"...No. Definitely not."

[gyiyg]

i checked in on Mimo while he was asleep last night, and there was some sort of mystery shadow creature running around his room. he just woke up when i tapped the screen to see if it would do something, so i opted to evolve him before putting him back to bed.
 

Mimo has become onion
 

this morning, some sort of cat seems to have been attracted to the back yard, and we named him Pep.
however, i have also inspected the growth chart for Tamaweb, and i found the adult evolution results very strange (young mametchi cannot become mametchi at all, for example), so i have decided to do some heavy modding of this. in the meantime, i have placed Mimo in the vacation feature while i get this sorted out, so i will check back on him after.
 

Pippa has evolved to Hinatchi this morning! i don't actually fully remember if you can toilet train the V2 or not, but i've managed to catch it at least 6 times now, and i remember around 5-10 at least being rumored, so we'll see, lol
 

i checked earlier and there were some items left in the inventory from previous generations, mostly password items, but there was also a ball, which is the only thing he is able to use right now.

[aeshihowl]

TAMAWEB:
Melodius lifts some weights to try to wake up. They're not feeling it though.

But jamming out to some music? There we go!

Melodius gives Zaneta a pie and leaves some veggies out for other critters. Smooch! 
 
Melodius has their cute friend over again! They have changed since Melodius last saw her! It's still fun.
 

TAMAGOTCHI:
Birth is rough... 

But not insurmountable. Welcome to life, Death!

I looked away for a moment to help babe with his tamafriend. Her name is Jakii.
How are you sick already?

Both girls are stabilized.

Jakii's turn to get sick. I direct my babe to the medicine box.

Now that both girls are satisfied, we try to connect!

But I read the manual like a week ago and didn't realize there was one last button input needed for it to work. I am puzzled! Google suggests resetting, so I reset both. I fiddle with mine first, and accidentally overwrite Death. Gods dammit. I restore Jakii successfully. 
Once Death has been reinstated, she is able to hang out with Jakii for the first time!

Jakii evolves first. Nice.

Death evolves shortly after, despite their age difference! Could more experienced care provide a reduction in evolution time?
She immediately falls asleep. It's been a long day.

Death is successfully put to bed.
Jakii, however, becomes lost in the ocean of blankets and pillows that babe calls his side of the bed.

I found her the next morning, sick with a messy room. Oh dear.
Babe is at D&D with Da Bois, so I'm in charge of the tama-children today. I clean everything up, administer the medicine, and fill her hearts. I play a couple games to minimize neglect consequences.

[skinstealer]

good afternoon everyone. i am very very sick. but the animals must go on and now i have an excuse to do it while swaddled up in bed.

i have not gotten around to a proper petz check in since my last post, so you'll get what you get. thankfully, that's quite a lot.

THE VPET NEWS REPORT

well, i woke up with food poisoning from hell, so Confetti and Poppyseed are on pause for a bit seeing as they've been the most immediately demanding. seeing as i'm taking the day (and possibly tomorrow) to be mainly sick in bed, i feel like it'll be a good catchup weekend anyway. 

poppyseed is struggling a bit because she's a fat fuck now and bandai loves to  be normal about weight in these games, so while i think she's awesome, the game requires me to go throw her at training minigame until she slims down. confetti on the other hand is just getting a bit neglected because while i love the m!x, i haven't really sat down and immersed myself in its functions and internalized it as a sort of "play environment" the same way i have the tamagotchi connections. same for poppy, probably. 

however, poppyseed DID digivolve, and i'm quite pleased to say that she's a belial vamdemon, which i was like, wow, thatll be cool to have if i can! and then i looked at the digivolution requirements for her next stage option and went Okay you're probably just staying as that lmfao. absolutely brutal shit.



A Demon Lord Digimon said to be [Vamdemon](https://wikimon.net/Vamdemon "Vamdemon")'s final form. Unlike [Venom Vamdemon](https://wikimon.net/Venom_Vamdemon "Venom Vamdemon"), which lost its intelligence by seeking too much power and was like a beast, it succeeded in surpassing Venom Vamdemon by harmonizing its intelligence alongside all of its other aspects. It possesses an inhumanly cruel personality, and is willing to do anything to achieve its own desires. The organic cannons on both its left and right shoulders, "[**_Sodom_**" and "**_Gomorrah_**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodom_and_Gomorrah "wikipedia:Sodom and Gomorrah")" respectively, leech off of it.

....okay poppy. she always felt very nice and gentle to me, so i'm not sure what the lore is here. i think she may still be nice and gentle, really...but i'll mull it over. holy fucking shit the sodom and gomorrah cannons though lmfao


as mentioned in the first post, the vpet plushes we will be making will NOT BE EXACT. AT ALL. especially not in terms of colors chosen and final result. consider this color blocking for the final. the digimon plushes are very much going to be long term projects that only get started officially once the digimon itself passes on- which should ideally give me a big ol chunk of time to take care of poppy and prolong the impending addition of her plush to the queue. i think this is a decent enough simplification, at least. 

confetti's plush is actually almost done, and i'll likely go wrap it up after i finish this post. they're made with socks from king clod, actually, and while the shaping came out pretty jank on the plush (i'm out of practice with non-fuzzy socks...) and they look more like some sort of weird mametchi mimic, i LOVE how the color usage turned out, and i can't thank kc enough for the sock care package. jank is beautiful in my book. 

modem and wire evolved into their final states, and will be having their plushes started tomorrow as soon as i can pick from some amazing bulk sock shipments ace is sending out- the more variety the better, esp for COMO'S FIRST TAMAGOTCHI PLUSH!!! WOW


"A lonely person who turns mean and nasty when she sees a couple." - Tamagotchi 25th Character Special book (JP, 2022)

modem turned into a pyonkotchi, which had me audibly yelling and cheering and babbling because oh my god it's a cat tamagotchi and there really are not as many of those in the eras i've played as you'd think. i've wanted one of these FOREVER and finally have one. modem, my shitty punk transmasc pyonkotchi, i hope you terrorize the world. 


also being an osutchi/mesutchi originated character, pyonkotchi's whole Schtick focuses around relationships- something to consider for lore, at the very least for how pyonkos are received in the worldbuild, perhaps...



"Kuchipatchi is sweet and very laid back. He loves visiting the hot springs and the forest, thought what he really loves.....eating!" - _Tamagotchi Pix Website (2021)_

wire turned into a kuchipatchi. seeing como react irl to his first raised tamagotchi and it being the fat little funny duck was a moment im saving in my brain forever. he was so so so happy. i'm really glad we're doing this together. couldn't pick a better first one for him, frankly. 

abyss is still the same as yesterday. sorry that i have nothing to report on the literal focus of the log. everyone else is too busy being interesting.

NEOPETS TIME



for the majority of this creaturefest we'll be doing our dailies and see what makes sense from there lore-wise. we're playing toys.

here were yesterday's tasks. easy enough. we'll give at minimum one to each of our guys, but we actually are able to knock out the first one in one go-



with the power of BEAW. 


tidepool is now a professional instacart shopper. i dont think he's thrilled about this. but maybe he likes touys. 



meanwhile, spot tried ice cream machine. i need to impress that this is neopets' attempt at a bullet hell. at the very least, it being a big fat seal probably helped with the cold barrage of ice cream scoops. 








felicity's having a much nicer day. she got to learn about sandstone carving congrats girl your personality is now going to be rocks.



meanwhile, chu gets toothbrushed all over their body. i genuinely dont know how you groom a manta ray. 




i also realized that tidepool doesnt have a proper petpet situation so i slapped a lurman into his hands and we'll see how the lab ray goes. 



it ended up being a whole lot of nothing though, so i got him a consolation prize. 

neopets!

OPTIONAL CHALLENGE PROGRESS


WOBBLEDOGS 

in my wobbledogs challenge attempt, i'm going to be trying to reinvent fish. yes, you heard me. my goal is to somehow recreate the concept of a fish in wobbledogs. at first i figured, well i could go for what como calls "fish colors", but the true point of my challenge emerged quickly- i needed to make some flat fucks. this went a lot faster than i remember, but i've never really sat down and sunk my teeth fully into this game- it's one i respect a lot, but isn't my usual for what i like in a sort of Ol' Reliable pet game situation. but, behold, the dogs we have in the little genetic tide pool:



i'm not bothering to give them real names yet until we get ones that are truly, TRULY qualifiable as fish. we'll get there when we get there. we're already getting somewhere though! i'm also considering the whole...legs situation. i've never raised fully legless dogs and i'm unsure about my ability to keep them from losing their shit with stress, so i think eventual goal is legs but Really Really Short Ones. tails, we'll see. i'm out of the loop on the wide range of genes you can currently get in this game and i kind of want to find out what's around organically.

we also don't have any furniture qualifying as aquarium decor yet and i have no idea when i'm gonna get that shit so i'm not bothering to show the enclosure yet. this will not be a daily updated endeavor, nor will the spore playthrough, which...


SPORE

hello welcome to my mini forum LP of a game i havent played in years that occupied a non-insignificant part of my brain space growing up. i am going to suck real bad at this but i'm here to reengage with my ~whimsy~ or whatever and see how it goes. 


i want to continue to stay on theme, and while spore does not allow for true aquatic gameplay, we're gonna make a fucked up sea creature anyway that has come to land and is a person now. eventually. i have no real end goal in mind short of i would like to capture the vibes of the only animal i have a genuine bonafide phobia of:

the lion's mane jellyfish. 



i had to deal with these bitches CONSTANTLY growing up and ultimately, theyre just an animal and minding their own business. i respect them. theyre cool and just vibing and doing their jellyfish thing. but god help me i do NOT want to be near them. if there's a layer of glass between us, we're good to go, but i cannot deal with them in the same water space with me. i am on the fucking beach forever if i even see a little one.  

but, id like to make something based on them in part bc of that reason. i think it'd be fun to invoke that! theyre also just, utterly gorgeous animals and i find them so beautiful along with how scary they are to me specifically. win-win.



enter our first iteration, stingly. i will be completely honest with you i forgot how the fucking creature editor controls work and forgot i could make it a fat fuck. sorry. fairly standard spore cell, but i scrunched the eyes together bc i thought itd be cute.



second and third iterations of stingly were where i got experimental. obviously it needs to have a lot of flagella, but i wanted the electric shock weapon too. gyiyg actually mentioned how many kids must have thought jellyfish shock people from spongebob while i was in the process of considering it, so that kind of sealed it. i will  not say that stingly is good at surviving, but i am quite pleased with my fucked up attempt at hyper-offense in terms of "i will bite you and shock the shit out of you and ideally go real fast but i didnt bother grinding for DNA points to actually pull that off"



despite it all though, stingly survived. thank god. here's the chart, i basically just went for HUNT KILL HUNT KILL that really was a lot more just. shoveling meat floating around into my mouth. is that not the jellyfish way. 



i leave the spore run off on our first iteration in creature stage: stingler. i will have a real fucking name for these things by the end of it. we need to go for round. we need to have a lot of tentacles. tiny eyes, potentially a lot of them would be nice. going for that lion's mane jellyfish look. no visible mouth. no idea what to do with legs yet. in hindsight i should have made them skinnier and placed different, but that's for next time.

Mimo update part 2:
 

i've finished my growth chart revamp mod (which is downloadable here for anyone who wants it, it just reorders the adult evolutions so that they make more sense), and brought Mimo back from his short vacation, opting to have a birthday for him to test it out before sending him to bed for the night.
 

Mimo is now Kiwitchi (the one from OsuMesutchi, there is a new one with the same name coming soon for the Tamagotchi Paradise, but there's plenty of room for both of them), which was in fact one of the potential results i set for Oniontchi, so the mod was a success. according to the lore for Kiwitchi, he is prone to falling deeply in love very quickly and repeatedly getting his heart broken.
 

speaking of which, Mimo's childhood friend has reached adulthood at the same time as him, and they're already close enough that there's an option to ask him on a date. maybe i'll see how that goes tomorrow, after Mimo wakes up again.

[aeshihowl]

TAMAWEB
Melodius craves the skateboard. Melodius gets the skateboard.
 
Kessi the cat joins Zaneta in the backyard. She is fed veggie soup. Melodius plays with them for a while.
  
Water the garden!

Camera cooking! Melodius failed to make anything edible. Trying again, they make veggie curry, another inedible dish, and some potato soup.
 

Cutiepie Shaylynnko comes over again. They spend some time running around at the park. 
 
We enter Hubchi. There's a lot of Tamas today!
 
We hang out with Papa Giovanni II and become friends.
 
Also Joleneko and Nerissachi!
  
That's enough of that. We return home and eat dinner.

Use the grimoire. It gets a bit out of hand.

Boreddddd!!!! Use the smartphone for a while. Are you... flirting with someone?

Melodius thinks of THEM as they cuddle their Foxy.

Can't stop thinking about THEM. Invite over a cute friend to attempt a distraction!

Time for Social Media. Melodius makes their own post.

Melodius has a birthday party! They invite over some acquaintances.

Melodius is red now, with four spaghetti noodle limbs.

They seem thrilled!

The weight of Adult Responsibility begins to crush Melodius. They do not have any parents, for they are the first of their generational line. They find themself lost in spiraling thought for an endless moment.

Ah, fuck it. Everything will be fine!

Melodius pulls out their trusty grimoire.

Things get a bit out of hand!

Nothing happened.

You know what'll fix this?

The balloon we bought when Melodius was a child! They've never been able to play with it until now. As an adult, they have been granted access to accessories!

Melodius takes bunny balloon everywhere. Even on the skateboard. I doubt they'll ever put it down. They do some sick tricks together.
 
Since Melodius is an adult now, surely they'll be able to lift the weights? Bunny balloon cheers them on.
 
Oooh.... yeahhhhh... nope... Might make a good gift for someone, though.
Instead, they hop on their phone. They post on social media.
 

And now it's time for work!! Melodius is banished to the office realm. However, they LOVE their job. Whatever it is.

Less thrilling but no less important, Melodius heads to their second job as a food stand. A little tooth tama comes to grab themself some dinner.

Melodius pouts in a corner because they miss Papa Giovanni II.
 
They run right over to comfort Melodius.

Thanks, Papa Giovanni II.

Melodius invites over their childhood crush, Shaylynnko. They look a lot different as an adult.... Melodius doesn't feel the same spark as they did before. 

They're still a great friend!
 
Melodius has mixed feelings about this development. Bunny balloon's ear bumps Melodius's head gently. It's okay. Sometimes these things happen with time.

Bunny balloon is right. Melodius and Shaylynnko still have a close relationship. It's just not how they imagined it might be when they were kids.
Melodius finally gathers the courage to invite over.... THEM!!! Sherlinechi!!! DON'T panic. Stay CALM.
  
Things are going GREAT. Melodius gifts them the dumbell. Sherlinechi LOVES it!!!

Both part feeling warm and fuzzy inside.

Soon after, they go on a date.

It's a beautiful sunset beach!


They look into each others' eyes and think about the present moment, about the past fun, about the future that could await them.

Sounds... lovely... <3


They decide to seal the deal.
  
...they leave their egg with me and run off. I wonder what will hatch?

Aww... I dub them, Sherlodius.

First we use the toilet. Very important.
 
Melodius's teddy bear... it seems appropriate to let their baby play with their old toys. Sherlodius attaches to it immediately.

Same with Foxy and the ball.
 
Sherlinetchi comes to visit Sherlodius. They both seem on edge. This is the first time they've met.

They bond immediately.

After the visit, Sherlodius goofs off with the cats in the backyard.

Remember to water the plants!

Time to play! Let's go to the park. 
 
Once we've returned home, Melodius themself comes to visit. They yammer away about the history of each object in sight. Sherlodius seems a bit overwhelmed. But then, they always kinda look like that.

Long day. Time to sleep.


TAMAGOTCHI CONNECTION
The children play. First with the ball.

Then by gift-giving...
 
But only "messes." Sigh.

Sherlodius awakens yearning for their parent.

Very well.

Sherlodius is having a birthday party! They invite the friends they met at the park.

They sense a disturbance in the force.

...Oh. Alright. Sherlodius is now... A soggy green blob. No, no, we shan't judge. We have all had our awkward and ugly stages.

They don't know how that makes them feel. What if blob life is the one?
 
They elect to sleep it off.

Welcome back, robot enthusiasts! Today's match is against Pyron and Manixx at the Chromotex Rally, and boy howdy, is this going to get a lot more difficult.
 

"Wait. Why'd you give me a jackhammer and not a gun? Did your logic center glitch up or something?"

Well, Schmoo, to put it simply, you just can't beat these guys with a gun. As you can see, Manixx is equipped with the Overwatch R200, which is still the best armor available at this point, and Pyron has the Raptor DT-02, an upgraded version of the weapon from the previous post which we'll take a quick look at now.
 

"Yeah, that looks cool! Why am I not using that?"

The DT-02 does slightly more damage than its predecessor, at the cost of 10 units of firing range. However, it also has the same weakness as the DT-01, the 50 unit minimum firing distance. Once again, this weapon cannot fire on targets that are too close.

We could just give Schmoo the R200 and the DT-02, since those are the best armor and weapons available to us at the moment, but even those won't be enough to handle the Chromotex gang. Pyron and Manixx are just too close to Schmoo in terms of damage output and health for her to be able to win with this loadout. If she were using the same type of weapon as Pyron and Manixx were, she would be guaranteed to take damage every time she dealt damage. This was fine in the previous two matches, when she was able to isolate targets and outclass the robots individually, but even in a perfect setup where one of the enemy robots waited patiently in the corner while Schmoo dealt with the other one, winning the first fight would still mean losing enough health that the second fight would become impossible. We need to find a way for Schmoo to deal damage without losing health.
 

"I can see where this is going..."

The Torrika KJ-557 is a repeating pneumatic hammer designed for use as a melee weapon in robot combat. Its maximum firing distance is 50 units, and it has no minimum firing distance, meaning that while Schmoo is in range to deal damage with her hammer, Pyron and Manixx will be unable to target them at all. Of course, maintaining this distance is going to be extremely difficult since all robots have the exact same movement speed as I mentioned earlier, but this is a small price to pay for a setup in which Schmoo deals damage to the target and not the other way around.

But there's another problem.

The combined weight of the R200 and the Torrika is too much for Schmoo's chassis to handle.

Every robot has a weight limit, which determines the type of armor and weapons they can hold. Heavier chassis have higher weight limits, which means better gear, but we only have one type of chassis available to us right now. So in order to use the Torrika, we're going to need to swap Schmoo's armor out for the previous one we used- the Chromotex Light that she had all the way back in the first post. This armor only weighs 4 units (again, no further information given in the game) which gives Schmoo just enough capacity to handle the jackhammer.

"You're kidding me, right? You want me to go in there with zero range and less armor??"

Fortunately for her, this will only be a temporary arrangement, as we will unlock the game's second chassis after we beat this match- and this one will have a higher weight limit on it. For now, let's take a quick moment to look at our very upset robot.
 

"This is a bad idea. I can't believe you're making me take a jackhammer to a gunfight."
"Well, it's definitely not a good idea..."

Oh yeah- I forgot to mention that both of the previous videos consisted of all of my gameplay from start to finish- I just managed to beat the first two arenas on my first try! If you don't want to sit through several minutes of Schmoo getting blown up (she gets better) I'd suggest skipping to 7:04.

Tune in next time when we cover chassis upgrades in a bit more detail! And don't expect this to get any easier, either...



"Shit."

[gyiyg]

today is a chill day for Pippa. i did see him singing earlier, but it was only for a couple seconds and i couldn't get a picture.
 

i did notice that every single item in the shop this morning was ball, though. i have heard tales of glitched V2s inexplicably starting to replace items with ball, but nothing seems to be replaced in the inventory, and the shop had a normal selection after it reset a few minutes ago, so it seems we have avoided the Curse of Ball for now, and just got a very funny shop roll.
 

a few matchmaker calls have come for Bean, but we are being choosy with marriage partners, so nothing has come of it yet. waiting on the right one. also there was a sale on Throne and it's funny that this item is so expensive and has a whole 1 corresponding animation frame.
 

before sending Mimo out on his date, i decided to try the Work feature that unlocks for the adult stage. rather than the work minigames from the devices and Eternitchi, this seems to just be an activity you can place them in and then leave them idle, and it gives you points based on how long they're there (along with draining the Fun meter significantly.)
 

i wish i could get $5 every 13 seconds
 

Mimo's date went well. these two have been playing well since childhood, so it's unsurprising.
 

the marriage resulted in an egg that hatched into another Teletchi, and the game suggested "Agathetchi" as a name, which i thought was a funny contrast to Mimo, so her name is Agatha now. from what i can tell, rather than care mistakes, evolutions here seem to be based on how many "care stars" you have acquired by fulfilling specific wants, so i will probably try to get a lower amount at this stage this time to try to get a different character.
 

another animal has also appeared in the backyard. it seems to like to play with Pep.
 

Agatha has also made some park friends, two identical Shiropetitchi.
 

since Mimo is on Agatha's friends list by default, he can also come play at any time.
 

in the meantime, it seemed like a good time to finally play with Cancri, Asellus's raster friend.
 

he immediately slapped the beach ball as soon as it was brought out. slappable

as is often the case with ball creatures i have adopted, Cancri seems to be finicky, at least with food.
 

he does not respond at all to being misted. doesn't care about it
 

he does like to balance on top of the mister, though.
 

here is damien while i'm here

TAMAGOTCHI
They woke up to evolve last night. Death went back to bed immediately, Jakii stayed up. I waited for her to go back to sleep, and eventually just turned the light off. She went to sleep shortly after.

*does some googling* They both started out as Shiroteletchi (baby girl) and became Tamatchi. Now Death has become Young Mametchi, and Jakii has become Nikatchi.

TAMAWEB
Good morning!
     
We invite Sherlinetchi over.

A gray dog joins the backyard crew. Its name is now Marijo. We feed it bread. Kessi has the same buff as Zaneta.... we release it back into the wild. Maintaining it would be too much work. We play with the remaining two until they are fully happy.

We invite Melodius to the park! How fun.

Sherlodius tries their hand at cooking. They make S-Special Dish! Wow!

They yearn for Sherlinetchi. They spend time at the park together too.
 
We invite Jemimatchi over to hang out. Then we hang out at the park.
  
Oops.... The garden is dead. Sorry, Melodius.

We go to Hubchi. It's packed in here!
 
We interact with Naaku. A new friend!

We interact with Squeaker. Another friend!

We head home to invite our new friend Naaku! It's fun.

Sherlodius is stinky. We shower.
 
Now that we're clean... let's have a birthday party!

Wow, pretty.

We use the grimoire!

Oh jeez there it goes again.

Sherlodius spends some time at Sherlinetchi's house. Sherlinetchi seems proud of the teen.

Dwarf Fortress Continued!


This is our first artifact. I didn't inspect it too closely, kinda got into a weird flow state.
It is currently the year 103. We've made a few artifacts by now, mostly in the realm of hematite bracelets and lignite earrings, but we do have an artifact iron sword, which is cool.

We've gotten a few thieves, nothing too serious. No armies at our doorstep, probably because we aren't at war.
I also made a tavern! I forgot its name.

My dwarves did a line dance! That was cool to see. You may also notice the suspiciously pale dwarf in the center. We had some necromancers move in as migrants in like, 102, I think? There's 3 of them currently. I think it'd be funny to make more of them. One of the necromancers has a daughter with a miner in the fortress. I also dropped that miner down a well on accident, realized she'd left her child in the cave waters, and used DFHack to teleport it out. May be cheating but I don't wanna deal with that kind of heartbreak so early on.
Also, one of these necromacners reanimated a kobold thief like, 40 times. It was still fighting while it was being put down by my small speardwarf militia, and one dwarf killed the same kobold 39 times. They got a title from this.

Here is one of the necromancers! He is a priest of The Oily Communion. I think they worship jewels and something else. Could be funny to design a morbitian god based off one of these. I'll check up on the names of gods later.

Things that have happened that I don't have pictures of:
- Built a functional well specifically so that I could get my hospital up and running because one of the necromancers got in a fight and lost his nose. I took so long to get soap that the poor bastard had an infection in literally every infectable part of his body. Somehow didn't die and got better, actually.
- There are two corpses in the well. I memorialized them.
- There are stuck traders in my plot of land. They haven't left yet.
- I constructed, deconstructed, and reconstructed some outdoor farm plots.
- I tried to set up automatic food production using work orders. This is hard.
- I made a library with some necromancers as scholars hoping they'll write a silly book.
- My main export is really well made wooden bolts.
- I have purchased a herd of alpacas for wool.
- I have one (1) giant boar and one (1) black bear.
- The elves are mad at me.
- I've given most children in this fort nicknames so I can track them throughout history.
- I've been visited by many animal people. Some highlights being a kestrel woman archer, a rat man hammerman, and an elephant woman scholar.
- I've somehow, magically, not been raided by cave civilizations, forgotten beasts, or surface monstrosities like were-creatures and titans.
- I've been training a team of engravers to enhance my rooms.
- I have some quantum stockpiles set up for wood, corpses, and stone. This is in an effort to unclog my main stockpile. I might try to make a quantum for furniture too, as I'm using a few traps.
- I am agonizing over how the Fuck I'm going to make a mist machine because I don't know how to build a pump stack.
- We are now a barony! We have one (1) holding somewhere in the hills nearby.
That's all for now! Please let me know if there's anything you'd like expanded upon and I'll do my best to show cool stuff.

LORE

Moon 37
   Arielpaw receives his full name. Arielecho, and feels a great joy in that. 
   Gullfeather, moving past his grief from a kit death, tells Wavestar he'll retire in a few moons. His bones ache, and he knows she doesn't need him like she used to. Wavestar and Breezethistle both try to take this news well, but the trio all have tears in their eyes the rest of the clan can't quite understand.
   Gullfeather, still, is the deputy. He takes a risk one patrol, alone, and gets a dog to chase him away from clan. He's sure the stars guided his steps as he did so.

Moon 38
   Arielecho and Sharkdance are joking around on patrol, and stumble upon a lonely kit. It hisses and swats at them, weakly, and Arielecho knows they have to take it home. They name him Algaepaw, and he wiggles his way into the clans hearts.
   A cat named Isabella finds a patrol and pounces, beyond excited. She chatters incessantly about how she's trained, how "he darkest of stars lead her to them", and how she simply must join. Breezethistle hears she can talk to ghosts and asks if that makes her a medicine cat, she says no "the rivers have other plans". 
   Wavestar let's her name herself Isabellariver and the rest of the clan seems uneasy.

Moon 39
   Gullfeather announces to the clan he will be retiring, and the clan is silent. Wavestar is suddenly alone again, up there, with so many more eyes this time, and she looks to her mother for guidance. Breezethistle is unhelpful but encouraging, motioning for her to continue, and she announces Scaleblossom as the next deputy. Cats congratulate him, he looks smug as he takes a place beside his older sister, and Isabellariver giggles about the ghosts being unhappy. 
   Isabellariver returns from a night patrol with two small kits on day, her eyes heavy with grief. Wavestar asks for her to explain, says she's very understanding that "cutting kittypet ties is hard" and that she's still a fresh clanmate so the others will understand. Isabellariver hiccups, and quietly informs the leader that the kits were her sisters, but infect has lead to her begging Isabella to give them a different life. Wavestar welcomes Basskit and Marshkit warmly, and tries to comfort her clanmate.
   Crabgrass is tasked with helping Gullfeather around for the moon, and does so proudly. While out and about an enemy warrior attacks, and Gullfeather is very impressed when Crabgrass is only bruised. The same can not be said for Sharkdance, who protects his mate from a fox and ends up injured. At least the clan is there to help him.
   Wavestar is delighted when Divebramble and Brackishtide announce they are mates, and congratulates them both. She also admits she thought they were already mates, and most of the clan seems to agree. 

Moon 40
   Breezethistle is sick and overwhelmed, and maybe is a bit too hissy with the kits. She and Wavestar, along with the rest of the clan, are surprised when Algaepaw announces during his ceremony he wants to be her apprentice instead. Wavestar allows it, much to Breezethistle's annoyance.
   Breezethistle is... not a very welcoming mentor. She hasn't had to share her space before, and this kit is always watching her, and she's still sick herself. Just a headache, but it lingers. While on a patrol, the normally quiet Algaepaw pipes up to ask her if this was a mistake. If he should have been a warrior. She looks at him, says if he wants the easy route they can switch him back, and tells him that any cat who wants the easy route won't last as a medicine cat. He purrs excitedly, saying the challenge is what he needs.
   Scaleblossom whispers to Wavestar that Algaepaw is probably their mother's from another affair, expecting her to laugh. Wavestar tries not to let his comment bug her and spends the evening with her mother and the apprentice.

Moon 41
   Colby Jacksplash is hissed at by Scaleblossom for bringing more kits to clan, claiming the other cats not even trying to be a clan cat and it shows. Wavestar attempts to greet the kits warmly and gets snarled at. She's unsure what she's done, so Isabellariver quietly explains what happened while on a walk with the leader.
   Riverstripe can tell cats are hesitant to talk to Scaleblossom, but they're clanmates! She makes a joke about the patrol choices this moon that makes cats giggle, and Scaleblossom takes it personally. He growls and attacks her, leaving the cat injured, and tells the rest of the clan he's not afraid to fight them as well.
Wavestar and Isabellariver return in high spirits, only to be informed of the commotion. No cat dares interfere in the screaming match between the leader and deputy.
   Wavestar visits the nursery again, and from a distance tells Colby Jacksplash that Spongekit and Sandkit are lovely and will fit in perfectly.

Moon 42
   Scaleblossom doesn't take his sister yelling at him well, and decides not to listen to her punishment. He gets his leg stuck in a two leg trap, and howls for hours alone, until a search party finds him. He's taken back to camp heavily injured.
   Coralhiss paces the Rueclan border like, waiting for some cat. She's angry, she's hurt, she waits hours until Wavestar makes her go home. She needs the clan to stop being unruly for a moment.

Moon 43
   Nothing too important happens this moon. Scaleblossom is still injured, Algaepaw and Breezethistle seem unable to come up with solutions. Scaleblossom wouldn't dare speak ill of his mother infront of her, but oh does he think things.
   Wavestar can't seem to relax, even with a quiet moon.

Moon 44
   Pondclan's new leader, Finchstar, challenges Wavestar to a race. She pretends to be uninterested, but soon the two leaders are racing back and forth, swatting rocks and sticks at eachother, and laughing. Most of the cats from Coastalclan find Wavestar's energy this moon to be wonderful, but in the medicine cat den Scaleblossom nearly bites his leg off, feeling bitter
   Isabellariver meets a cat from Doeclan, an arrogant older cat, who teases her clan. Riverkit tempts Isabella to kill the other cat, and she only barely avoids doing so. 
   Coal, a rogue who has been occasionally attempting to steal prey, joins the clan hoping they'll heal his green cough. They rename him Penguinmask. 
Breezethistle nearly slashes Scaleblossom's ear when he says he wants a nest further from intruders.

Moon 45
   The moons have been going well, Wavestar feels relaxed. Basskit and Marshkit couldn't be having a different reaction to apprentice hood, with Bass nearly chewing his own tail off. Wavestar pities him, and gives him to his mother Isabellariver as an apprentice. Marshpaw is given to Crabgrass, who ruffles her fur and talks about all the things they'll do. 
   Currentspeckle takes her time telling some kits and clanmates a thrilling tale. The entire clan feels alive and together. She takes a stroll that night and doesn't return. Pearldusk leads a search to find her that morning, only to find out she was attacked by a badger. 
   Breezethistle is beside herself with grief and hides away in her den, clinging to a bit of bedding until it stops smelling like Currentspeckle. Rayshimmer remains quiet, frozen, and stares at everyone, as if the world is passing around him. Wavestar has Algaepaw guide him to the medicine den with Breezethistle, and she takes care of them while Algaepaw handles the injuries of the clan alone.
   Basspaw is not going to make a good warrior, the ghosts whisper to Isabellariver constantly. He trips over his own paws, he's scared of mice and frogs, and he hates how mud feels. She approaches Pearldusk, offers a distraction, says an apprentice would help. Wavestar agrees, and silences any confused whispers from the rest of the clan. 
   With Wavestar at his side, her tail circling him from the tempered deputy, Algaepaw explains to Scaleblossom the pain is likely permanent. This injury is too severe. He growls, says the kit must have done something to make it worse, and only flinches a little when Wavestar snaps at him in warning. They have enough problems without him hurting clanmates.
   Eelnewt abandons gender, and explains they are nonbinary. Wavestar will hear no arguments, and just tells their sibling to do what makes them happy.
   Sharkdance and Craneclaw find a sick cat and take him back to the clan, Shark warning Crane to stop quiting cats who can't even stand up at the moment. 
   A few days in Beatle explains to Wavestar that his humans left him by the thunderpath, and he'd like to forget them. He takes the name Egretfreckle.

Moon 46
   Algaepaw has a lot of work on his plate, and Wavestar trues to be supportive. She begs her clanmates to be kind to the apprentice, and only has to scold one or two for lashing out. Green cough is spreading, and Algae worries he's failing.
   Algaepaw approaches Scaleblossom with a bundle of herbs to eat to help with pain, and some exercises to do. He goes to swat the apprentice, but several warning hisses from clanmates stop him in his paws. He takes the herbs and leaves, and Algaepaw goes back to tending to the clan.
   Wavestar approaches Breezethistle quietly, asks if she can help the apprentice a little, trys to get her up. Breezethistle says she helped the clan alone for moons, surely Algaepaw can too. Wavestar says he's just a kit, the clan is much bigger, but doesn't push further.
   Brackishtide, while alone with her mate Divebramble, spends the patrol complimenting the she cat. Says how luck she is, how the clan adores her, how she wishes they could do this every day. They return to camp and share some prey.
   Riverstripe and Isabellariver meet a tom named Cutie, who runs faster than any cat they've seen. He says he's far too busy to be stuck in a clan, but with Isabellariver and Riverstripe talking about him so much Wavestar sets out to find him.

Moon 47
   Spongekit and Sandkit are full of boundless energy and won't stop talking about what their apprenticeship will be like. They are apprenticed to Craneclaw and Coralhiss respectively.
   Breezethistle wakes up startled, and leaves her den for the first time in days. She is kind to her apprentice, compliments him on his hard work, and starts helping him with the workload. Algaepaw is grateful. But the nightmares get her again after a few days, and she remains unhelpful.
   Cutie is found outside the clan, and manages to dazzle his way into meeting the leader. He has hundreds of stories to tell, and no one is sure what to believe, but he's fast and he'll make a great hunter. He's welcomed with open paws and named Cutiebreeze.
   Coastalclan celebrates the announcement of Crabgrass and Coralhiss becoming mates. It wasn't necessarily expected, but maybe Wavestar missed the signs. Or maybe she's just saying that.
   Scaleblossom grows bitter, and hisses at his clanmates to quiet down. He claims that he has more rights to the clan than them, than Wavestar, who doesn't seem the least bit fased or humored by his tangents. She just tells him they can discuss it alone if he really wishes. 
   Riverstripe and Sharkdance find a young traveling healer, someone Cutiebreeze mentioned in a story, and invite her to join the clan. Algaepaw is beyond relieved, and Breezethistle can fully rest. She does need it, they know. Foambreak is sweet and helpful. The clan takes to her easily

Moon 48
   Scaleblossom doesn't feel as sore, and he gloats to his clanmates about such. When others tell him to be careful, he swats them and laughs as they flinch. Wavestar growls at him to watch himself, and tells him they need to chat. He was her apprentice once, her brother, but now she just sees an arrogant tom with a temper. She's about done with his antics.
   Fishwhisker takes a long walk alone, to clear her head, and finds a loner name Meadow padding behind. He follows her home, and he takes the name Meadowmoss.
   Sharkdance and Arielecho find an injured cat named Caakiri and take her back to the clan with very little fuss. Scaleblossom takes all the credit for finding another injured cat named Thunderdaze, and Craneclaw admits he was a bit unhelpful. But he knows some of the worst from outside, and while Wavestar asks him to stop questioning every cat he sees, she understands his hesitation.
   Scaleblossom, not accepting this small victory as just that, takes the time to say how if it was up to him they'd exile loners after their injuries healed. The clan, which Wavestar knows is heavily made up of rogues, loners, and kittypets, shrinks down under the deputy's mocking words.
   Wavestar has had enough. She doesn't yell, doesn't scratch, doesn't hiss, doesn't bite. She just summons the deputy to her den and strips him of his title. He hisses that starclan will make her regret that, and she warns him that they'll exile him if he doesn't learn to stop hissing at his safety net.
Clan Age: 4 years
Cat number: 30
Food: Great!
Medicine: Great!

SET UP/EXPLANATION

I had to take a day to process this year I'm not joking this one got me. Currentspeckle really just peaced out and Scaleblossom decided to let being deputy go to his head???? Nothing about his personality screams "I'm gonna start a fight" but mans was determined to be an ass. Can't believe he attacked Riverstripe, like hello??? Clangen didn't want me to like this cat.
Isabellariver is a weird ass cat I adore her. She demanded to join the clan, she's vengeful, and she sees ghost. She's also got Heterochromia, she's my weird cat and I love her



Anyway I do want to say: I'm not opposed to an "evil deputy", but Scaleblossom seems determined to attack the clan. And Wavestar, after the flood, can't imagine turning away Any Loners. He just doesn't work as her deputy.
I plan to, when we have a new leader, follow their lead. It won't be Scale though. But if they're vengeful, I expect war. 

So Also: Mass extinction is here. This could be nothing, but it's possible now. I also took off "Unknown second parent" for now because I Would like some kits from the clan. They're still ignoring gender, and technically they're allowed to have affairs. Wish them luck  

[knux400]

Welcome back to robot combat! Today's match is going to be against Sabertooth and Mammoth of Metalmash 2059. Presumably this is the year the game takes place in? I don't know, you tell me! This game is extremely light on lore.
 

"Again with the football player getup? I know I saw new armor available in the shop!"

But first, let's address the third and final component of a combat robot- the chassis.

The chassis is the main body of a combat robot. You'll never see one in the arena, since they're always covered by armor, but the chassis is the functional part underneath that makes robots tick. Here's the chassis we've been using for the first three matches:
 

"Uncool. How would you like it if I removed your skin and posted a picture of you online?"

And here's the chassis we'll be upgrading to:
 

"Who wrote this shop description? Bot Arena has an N in it. And a space, I think."

As you can see, the new chassis, while more expensive, has a higher maximum weight load. It also has a higher self weight, which is important when considering the weight of your overall team. Different arenas have different weight limits that your team must stay within, but since we only have the one robot, it's basically never going to be an issue for us. The important part is the increased capacity for armor and weapons.

"Wait. Is that a new robot??"
"No, it's-"
"After all I did for you, you're going to throw me in the garbage?!? Just like that?!?"
"Schmoo, listen-"
"You cold-hearted, no-good, sniveling-"
"SCHMOO!"
"What?"
"I was going to remove your memory chip and transplant it into the new chassis. You're not going anywhere."
"...Oh. That makes sense. Why didn't you tell me?"
"...I was going to, before you cut me off..."

ANYWAY, we can see from the inventory screen above that Schmoo's old chassis had a carrying capacity of 11, while her new one has a carrying capacity of 14. This is a small improvement, but it's enough for Schmoo to have some armor/weapon combinations she couldn't before, like the Overwatch and the Torrika, for instance.

With that out of the way, let's talk weapons. Mammoth only has a DT-01, so they're not too much of an issue, but Sabertooth very much is. They're wielding the Darsij A101-1, a medium-caliber machine gun with a much higher damage output than anything Schmoo has available to her. This is our first instance of the opponent robots having access to weapons that we don't.
 

"...I want ten."

Unfortunately, this weapon's firing range covers both close-range and medium-range targets. Even with the pneumatic hammer from earlier, Sabertooth would still be able to retaliate, and their machine gun does more damage anyway. We also can't exploit their maximum firing distance, since the DT-02 only has a maximum firing distance of 140 units, and 10 units is just too narrow a margin to reliably maintain. Besides, Mammoth can do the same to us with their DT-01, which has a maximum firing distance of 150 units.

So we can't win by going for melee, and we can't win by staying at range. What can we do? Well... I hate to say it, but we're going to have to cheat.

"Okay so all that stuff I said earlier? Taking it back. You are a worthless flesh sack."
"Wouldn't that be taking it forward again? You already took it back when I told you about the brain transplant."
"Shut."
 

"So it's all code... That honestly doesn't surprise me too much."
"Yeah, a human would probably have an existential crisis or something seeing this, but I imagine you're pretty much fine."

To be fair, this game was never designed to be played this way- it expects you to be using two or more robots. I feel like I can cheat a little bit, occasionally, as long as I don't do it too often. Anyway, by editing the ActionScript files of the game itself, I can edit pretty much anything about the game. Weapons, armor, even the enemy encounters! But I'm going to keep things as reasonable as possible. What I'm going to do is create a new weapon for Schmoo to use, one that allows her to win this specific matchup without being unreasonable compared to other weapons available to us. Behold, the Raptor DT-03...
 

"You just... took the DT-02 and upped some numbers."
"Literally yes."

Now obviously, I could just make this weapon deal a million damage and cover the entire arena, but that wouldn't be any fun. I've only slightly increased the maximum range, and given it 10 more damage per shot to keep it on par with other weapons at this stage in the game. It still does significantly less damage than the Darsij, and the weight increase means that Schmoo will have to go back to using the Overwatch R200 rather than using the shiny new armor we just unlocked. Rest assured I'm doing my best not to make this too easy on myself, and I promise I will only do this when absolutely necessary. I tested several different weapon/armor configurations rigorously, but Sabertooth just does too much damage for Schmoo to properly respond- even if she could take out Sabertooth in a one-on-one confrontation, she wouldn't have enough health left over to deal with Mammoth. She needs a situation where she can deal damage safely.

With all that said and done, let's watch the battle! Skip to 2:31 for the winning match.
 

Yes I'm a dummy and forgot to equip the DT-03 until the third attempt. Give me a break they use the exact same sprite

[gyiyg]

i thought that i had more time, but Bean became an Ojitchi today. since i did want to raise something on this device, i decided i would reset it and allow him to retire.
 

but first, i had him play with some toys and got some cool Oji pics.
 

this is Gubby. her baby form was without incident, though she did jump into a sack when i pressed the c button and then fell out unceremoniously.
 

she became Mizutamatchi. the pixel sprite of this creature never resembled a water droplet to me, i always thought it was just some sort of lumpy thing when i was a kid. still very cute, though.
 

despite the big frown, this seems to be her favorite C button animation, because she does it over the others 9 times out of 10.
 

it's another chill day for Pippa. his training meter is filled now!
 

he had a cupcake from the store. i feel like it's a lot more difficult to gain points on this device than on the anniversary one. i think they might have increased the amount of points you get from the games, but it also seems like the buttons on this one are a little tougher to get to respond due to age and possibly materials, though only slightly.
 

so, agatha did evolve all the way to the teen stage this morning, however
 

my phone froze when i pulled up my camera app earlier, and i had to force it to restart. the app must have been open in the background and not closed correctly, because the save apparently failed, so i lost my progress.
 

forced to start over entirely, i just named the new baby Agatha II. luckily, it is sales day in the shops, so it was relatively easy to get the items i had back.
 

of course, agatha ii also made a park friend.
 

agatha ii has also become some sort of slime. i do enjoy this creature, so i guess losing progress isn't all bad.
 

cancri also had some enjoyable slime today.
 

he leaned on the case for a bit.
 

drinky.
 

cancri seems to prefer singing to the radio, rather than dancing.
 

captured it.

Nothing new here. Lots of tantrums and time outs.

[AceOfNothing]

LORE

Moon 49
- Wavestar stands before her clan, keeping it formal as she thanks Scaleblossom for him help these past few moons, and praises him for his "willingness to step down". She names Coralhiss as the next deputy, the grey cats stands by her leader proudly. Scaleblossom can't believe his own apprentice is replacing him.
- To honor Algaepaw’s cunning and determination, Breezethistle names him Algaewish
- Pearldusk is proud to announce she is expecting kits, and Divebramble surprises everyone by announcing the same thing. Neither cat is keen on laying in the nursery just yet.
- Rayshimmer, finally, decides to get up from his nest. He walks along the Wormclan border, and none of his clanmates bother him.
- An older cat, Orageno, who had caused the clan a few problems over the moons, joins the clan one day hoping for a good meal. He takes the name Smallfin and joins the elders. Some cats are a bit upset he's immediately retiring, but Coralhiss forbids them from bringing it up to Wavestar. 
- Wavestar, perhaps due to the stress of the past few moons, Wavestar begins to get ill.

Moon 50
- Basspaw becomes a fully trained mediator early, taking the name Bassdust. The clan is very happy for him, and Marshpaw celebrates, but later on she slinks off alone to wonder if she's fallen behind her brother.
- Pearldusk and Divebramble and made to join the nursery, and talk about what they're hoping form. Pearl wants a small litter, Dive wants a large one. While they are happy to have mates to help, they're also relieved to have eachother to lean on.
- Caakirimist is struggling with a broken bone, the medicine cats whisper to eachother about it. Meadowmoss worries they'll need to do something drastic.
- Brackishtide meets a kittypet while on a solo patrol, and excitedly tells him about his kits arriving soon. The kittypet, Kermit, congratulates her and follows her home. He takes the name Frogeye.

Moon 51
- Isabellariver congratulates Marshpaw before she even knows she's being made a full warrior, she says the ghosts are with her. Isabella has never once doubted her kits, and cheers loudly as she's named Marshback.
- Both queens welcome 3 kits each. Pearldusk and Sharkdance are ecstatic, they name their kits Otterkit, Beaverkit, and Rapidkit. Brackishtide and Divebramble seem overwhelmed, Brackishtide doesn't like how Faint the mews sound to her and Divebramble can't seem to soothe the worry. They name their kits Ripplekit, Hookkit, and Bluekit.
- Scaleblossom, determined to prove a point, chases a cat named Looks To The Moon away from the clan. Wavestar swats him, hisses, and asks Coralhiss to find the cat and invite them in.
- While training with some of the clan, Coralhiss admits she thinks she'll be a bad deputy. Her clan mates do not agree, and shower her with praise. 
- Riverstripe and Eelnewt find an injured cat named Stormchase and bring him to the clan. He claims to be a descendant of Shoreclan, and Wavestar quietly asks not to talk about that. He's welcomed in anyway.

Moon 52
- Coralhiss and Wavestar are very proud of Sandpaw, who is made a warrior early. Coralhiss purrs about how lucky she is to train a cat like Sandrush.
- Spongepaw avoids his sister and goes on a walk alone. They were supposed to do this together, how did she get ahead?
- Looks To The Moon is invited into the clan by Coralhiss, and follows her without a thought.
-Algaewish has tried his best to keep moving, but he wakes up one morning suffering from heat stroke. Breezethistle and Meadowmoss try their best to help him
- Fishwhisker tries not to hiss at clanmates, the kittypet might have been small but she had a dog! Wavestar wants to find Thor, but will wait a few moons for Fishwhisker's ego to feel less bruised.

Moon 53
- Spongepaw is relieved to be receiving his warrior name, now Spongeburr. He sits with his sister as the clan cheers, and they make plans for all their adventures together
- Bluekit and Rapidkit sneak out of camp to chase butterflies. Wavestar finds them and gently scolds them for worrying their families, carrying them back by their scruffs.
- Rayshimmer paces Wormclan's border one night, worrying and worrying. Out of the corner of his eye he sees movement, and here comes Emeralddrop. They purr greetings, and Rayshimmer is ecstatic to learn Emerald will join his clan. They don't mind clanmate whisper's as they face Wavestar, but she does worry about their Wormclan bond. But she welcomes the cat, but makes him change his name to Kelpdrop. 

Moon 54
- Gullfeather, takes a risk in the tidepools, and pricks his paw. Poison takes him quickly, and Wavestar finds herself looking at the body of one of her oldest friends.
- Coralhiss whispers to her father's body that she's expecting kits. Wavestar quietly congratulates her, and comforts the sobbing cat. Her father, her brother, it's just her now. Why must Starclan do this to her.
- Crabgrass tries to comfort her, but she snaps at him, and their bond feels shaken. He begs her not to push cats away, but she only wants to hear from Wavestar and Breezethistle right now.
- Some Coastalclan cats find Thor behind two leg fake ice. Thor sticks her tongue out at them while they try to communicate with her.
- Thunderdaze and Fishwhisker find an injured loner, and take her back to camp. Tunastripe is grateful to the clan, and promises to be helpful when she's feeling better.
- Cutiebreeze and Spongeburr find an injured cat swimming in a small pool of water. He joins them going back to camp, and takes the name Clamheart.
- The medicine cats ask Wavestar to maybe relax with the loners, but she won't listen.

Moon 55
- Coralhiss grieves in the nursery, with Wavestar visiting when she can. Wavestar loves seeing the kits growing, and is making sure Coralhiss still feels included in their decisions. Coralhiss can't even think about her own kits.
- Crabgrass smells like Pondclan when he visits Coral, and she hisses at him to just go there then. Wavestar tries not to make eye contact with the couple.
- Algaewish is given a large group of cats to get herbs with, considering the season. The group, however, is unhelpful. They accidentally destroy everything they touch, and ruin the catmint he needed desperately. He debates shoving them into a mud puddle, but just returns to camp muttering under his breath.
- Arielecho asks Wavestar to speak to him quietly. They won't say what they talked about, but Ariel returns to a group of clan mates with only praise for the wisdom of a leader. They would all do go following in her paws.
- Penguinmask and Colby Jacksplash find a loner named Nikki stumbling by the border, and lead him back to camp. He takes the name Snailtide, and dizzly talks about an owl making him fall from a tree.

Moon 56
- Coralhiss and Crabgrass welcome 3 kits into the clan. Coral is relieved Crab can watch the kits while she gets out of the den for a bit, and she spends a few hours hiding away from clanmates in the leaders den. 
- She comes back with names, ignoring the ones Crabgrass suggested. She must let the family legacy live on, and names them Gullkit, Squidkit, and Driftkit. Wavestar thinks this is lovely, says Gullfeather would have been so happy for her.
- A rogue named Burnjay steals prey, chases warriors, and trues to fight Algaewish. Wavestar is not going to look for this cat. Sandrush is very injured by Burnjay and ends up stuck in the medicine den.
- An odd cat finds a patrol one day, and giggles that Starclan wants him to join them. He ends up having a... discussion with Isabellariver at camp, which nearly comes to blows. They walk away agreeing they're best friends now, everyone is afraid of that.
- Wavestar, upon meeting Koipelt, figured this would be the outcome. She can handle two of them.
- Koipelt fights a rogue off alone. He didn't catch the cats name, but most assume it's Burnjay and whisper that he's a hero.
- While attempting to save a cat from two legs, Brackishtide gets a broken bone. She's been avoiding the medicine cat den, afraid Breezethistle or the others may confirm a suspicion of hers.

Moon 57
- Thor wanders into camp and says she's their problem now. She takes the name Waterrumble, and everyone wonders how this 13 moon old cat has evaded them for so long
- Frogeye is seen flirting with Burnjay, Wavestar hisses about how the outsider has injured clanmates. She has to put her paw down somewhere, don't flirt with that cat.
- Coralhiss moves past her grief finally, in time to see six kits become warriors. Wavestar greets her warmly.
- Algaewish has to sit this clan meeting out, he feels he's spending moons bouncing from illness to illness. It's green cough now, Breezethistle think he overworked himself. She grooms his fur before the meeting, incase he finds the strength to watch.
- Meadowmoss sits with Wavestar before the meeting, and asks for an apprentice. He names Rapidkit in particular, claiming she is a gift from Starclan. Rapidpaw is overjoyed, even when her first lesson is "leave Algaewish alone". She just thinks he's neat.
- Koipelt retires to the elders den, partly due to age partly due to starclan begging her to stop telling cats when they'll die.
- Clamheart find two injured cats while patrolling alone, and brings them to camp. Minnowsting is still able to work, but Barnaclefin is shuffled into a somewhat crowded medicine den.
- Following some vague instructions from Koipelt, Colby Jacksplash and Fishwhisker find two cats named Ghostwave and Mikhailfish. Ghostwave seems angry Starclan found her again, and Mikhailfish goes on and on about his healing ability.
-Arielecho and Spongeburr find a kit and bring it home. They name her Flukekit

Moon 58
- Eelnewt wins a fight with Burnjay, and still ends up in the medicine den. Wavestar talks to the other clan leaders, and asks if, maybe, this rogue should be driven away. She's told no.
- Crabgrass has had enough and snaps at Coralhiss, hissing insults at her. She growls back, nearly bites him for making a scene infront of the nursery, and only stops when Wavestar scolds the both of them. Wavestar attempts to comfort the deputy after her break up.
- Isabellariver tries to help Coralhiss this moon. She floats the idea around that maybe they'd be a good couple, but Coralhiss is not in the mood for mates right now.
- Crabgrass throws himself into work to avoid heartbreak, and ends up in the medicine den too sore to move.
- Algaewish goes to collect herbs for himself, and almost gets taken by a hawk. Cutiebreeze saves him, but is hurt. He cries about his beautiful fur, and Algaewish wonders if he really needs to be grateful.
- The medicine cats have to hold back giggles about the current apprentices, who all seem to be complaining about the salt hurting their paws. They treat them, of course, but Breezethistle doesn't remember cracked paw pads ever being such an issue.

Moon 59
- Flukepaw is given to Look To The Moon to apprentice under, who tells her they'll do great things together.
- Isabellariver attempts again to persuade Coralhiss to be her mate, and is shut down harshly. Everyone minds their pawsteps around her as she sulks in her nest.
- Wavestar stops a fox from entering the camp one night, and fights it off alone. Her tail is badly injured, but cats look up to the leader in wonder.
- Scaleblossom is bitter as his leg flares up, claiming he would have helped. Wavestar just sighs, and grooms her brothers head like she helped when he was a kit.
- The medicine cats are in agreement, and Brackishtide is incredibly upset to learn, but she's considered deaf at this point. Her hearing fades through the moon, and she wishes her broken bone would heal so she could move on from the medicine den.
- Algaewish is doing much better, and stands with the other medicine cats.
- Sharkdance and Arielecho do something stupid, they try to outsmart a two leg trap. Despite his best efforts, Sharkdance can't free Arielecho, and returns to camp alone, tail tucked between his legs. Wavestar makes him take a break as she goes searching alone, hoping to find a lost clanmate. Breezethistle knows she's thinking the worst, but Wavestar can't go off running while her tails all out of sorts.

Moon 60
- Everyone is relieved when Arielecho is found and brought back to clan. Algaewish takes time grooming him, searching for any wounds. Breezethistle just gives him a knowing look and gets catmint thrown at her from the bushy tailed tom.
- Green cough lingers, and unfortunately takes the life of Ripplepaw. The clan mourns, the kits siblings not quite knowing what this means other than they've lost someone. Wavestar wishes starclan weren't so cruel.
- Tunastripe, Snailtide, and Sharkdance find a cat named Chevresurf to join the clan. Her appearance haunts some of the clanmates, but Wavestar only smiles at the young cat.
- Meadowmoss hears a commotion, and finds a she cat struggling with bringing kits into the world. He scrambles to ease the pain and stop the bleeding, flagging down a patrol to bring help. Goodeflood and her four kits arr welcomed into the clan without any hesitation. Duckkit, Whalekit, Moonkit, and Riptidekit. Wavestar congratulates the mother on her beautiful kits.
Year: 5
Cats: 58
Food: Okay
Medicine: Okay


OTHER

I adore this clan, I just admittedly was not feeling like writing or posting so these took forever for me to get together. But we are here
Arielecho I thought was gonna die for a second there. Half the time when cats go missing, they seem to die a moon or too later in my clangens. But they found himmm. 
Clankits were successful! not changing that up



Three pages! And close to 4. This is too many cats for like... story cohesion but I wanna see how this goes. Hopefully Wavestar doesn't lose a life from a mangled tail. or her tail.
Burnjay is pretty, I want her to join the clan but she really does just keep terrorizing them. Please give me this evil cat.

I didn't realize their arms were sleeves, and their sleeves had arms. Wow. Ok. I see it now.

They yearn for their Hubchi friend, Nick.

Hooray! They're as lovely as ever.

Sherlodius gets a Witch Hat now that they are an adult. Very cute!

They run around the park with Starchao, one of their friends from Hubchi.

We give them a gift of a Teddy Bear! They love it.

Hmm... Looks like this place lets Tamas go back to their homeworld to visit. Cool... Maybe in a little bit.
  
They go on a date with Starchao. It goes well!
 
...Sherlodius does not propose.
Karrahtchi comes over! They are very cute.

They play at the park.

And go on a date. What's going on, Sherlodius?
 
Things go really well.

...but Sherlodius still does not propose.
Karrahtchi and Sherlodius go on many more dates. Most of them go well! But some...

Sherlodius consults the Grimoire. It flies off again. I'm not entirely sure there's any way to tame it.

They fiddle with their phone for a while, clearly distressed.

They yearn for their friend Squeaker! What a great idea.
 
Sherlodius gifts them a magazine. They like it.

You know what? They like this, actually. We test out different gifts.
 
 

  
 
 
I realize I can equip more than one accessory to Sherlodius. Hell yeah. Sherlodius has a secretary now. It doesn't seem to leave the house.

Sherlodius goes about their office work, proud of their fit.

Family fun at the park.
 
Again???
Secretary: That Grimoire has been nothing but trouble.
 
Secretary: Maybe you should give up now.
Um........just be careful not to hurt yourself.

Sherlodius has gone a bit quiet.

They go to visit the forests of their home planet for a while. Secretary looks riled.

On their return, they want their parent again. Here you go, always. I could never have mine, so I will never deny you yours.

Melodius comes over. Secretary lurks protectively.

Sherlodius seems a bit sad. We go to the doctor for a checkup. He gives a bill of clean health.

Time for sleep. Secretary bundles itself up too.

Death has fun playing with balls and balloons.
 
Babe is getting into the hang of things. They don't often ask for guidance anymore.

[gyiyg]

Gubby became Ringotchi today.
 

very good.
 

we purchased a treasure chest from the store, and it contained some money when opened. sometimes they just have a weird snake that upsets your tamagotchi, or magic that turns them old for a few seconds and also makes them upset, so this was a nice result.
 

Pippa has become Marumimitchi.
 

what a silly little guy.
i've also noticed the heartbeat on this device is just loud enough to be faintly heard from a couple feet away if it's quiet enough. some of my childhood devices were like this, too. it's pleasnat background noise. (for anyone unaware, some of the 2000s Connection/Connexion/Plus series devices emit a very quiet beeping sound constantly as the animation timer ticks, probably just the result of said ticking. the anniversary rerelease doesn't have this, due to the hardware being a little different.)
 

today, Agatha II wanted to eat a specific food item that can only be obtained by cooking. unfortunately, it was one of the ones i was missing exactly one ingredient for. cooking using the camera instead seems to just give you a random food item, so i tried that countless times, but i never got the right one.
 

eventually, Agatha II decided she just wanted to listen to the radio instead. i also probably will not need to purchase food for a while.
 

Agatha II had another birthday. you know, the Ura tamagotchi are meant to be "opposite" versions of their normal counterparts, and i understand this with Ura Mametchi, who is clearly a silly and goofy guy compared to the normally serious and mild-mannered Mametchi, but Ura Flowertchi and Ura Memetchi just kind of have wings, so i never really understood what was opposite about that. i guess with Flowertchi maybe it's because normally flowers grow in the ground?
 

Agatha II made a couple new friends at the park.
 

this did not happen. Agatha II is lying on the internet for clout.
 

Cancri discovered a ball today.
 

he was not amused by my mystery flavor treats.
 

drinky part 2.
 

he decided that he could be convinced to dance today.
 

nap time.

THE VPET GAZETTE



modem and wire are about to head out and leave their second generation with us- lorewise, they don't actually have kids or anything, nor will these be related in their final character iterations. but, it was a bittersweet time last night as i had to explain to como how this stuff tends to shake out and the process of tamagotchi generations in the connection mechanics, and that yes, tamagotchi times on Earth are often very, very short. 



we both decided to give the process some genuine gravity and take the night to commemorate our successes together, and i finished modem and wire's plushes in order to give them a "first date night on Earth"- the plush versions will live with us in our apartment, after all, having emerged from their little spaceships and finding their forever homes. we picked out a movie (The Batman, 2022- seriously fucking good film if you've been starving for like, genuine capeshit cinema and also it's just a good movie. i don't recommend 3 hour films like this often.) and got cozy, and it felt like a fairly magical affair. 

i don't think i've ever really had the space to experience something like this before. no one i grew up with IRL truly understood the emotional weight of stuff like this for us, and even other kids ridiculed us for caring "too much" about this shit. to this day, i have never been able to purposefully give a tamagotchi a care mistake, and any i get are incidental. it comes too close to my weird animism/object sapience beliefs and i dont beat myself up for care mistakes at all, but fuck, i just can't purposefully neglect. 

i guess i'm just really happy and lucky and emotional over getting to live with and be married to someone who not only gets that but can share it with me. i'm really happy.

abyss is gonna grow up either tonight or tomorrow. the anticipation is killing me. i feel like i may have gotten some care mistakes but anything fucking goes, really. i have been looking at atlantic ocean sea creatures as well- i will need to see how it goes, but i'm kind of feeling Scalloped Ribbonfish as an inspo for abyss' design/plush...and boy, ace hooked us the FUCK up with socks for these and the new guys coming in. i am deeply excited. the two new ones on our RV3s (modem and wire's devices) will also be aquatic themed! i should ask what sea creatures como likes...



poppyseed is still on pause for a bit, but i miss her and i think i'll be good to have her around tonight again. her plush is in the works and i'm shocked at how well it's going, i built this up soooo big in my head but it's really not that bad! her plush is even JOINTED WITH A DESIGN I ENGINEERED!!! so exciting. 

confetti is still here and i kind of like the idea of just having her vibe for a while. the m!x is so good for having long term tamas, i'd be remiss not to give it a go until i feel ready to have her move on. besides, i want to get used to the device again. 

lorewise, her and poppyseed are also lesbians now. very important. 

PETZ
no petz update today bc i have beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen busy and i am still adjusting to actually doing petz again.

VIRTU.PET TIME

did not get full logs for stuff but heres how its been going.



tidepool did another zap on periwinkle and we got a fucking awesome octopus. not even what i was expecting but first fucking zap is on theme! banger! genuinely thrilled about this.


petpets have this cute little thing where you can type dialogue at them and get random dialogue within a pool for the petpet's species (and maybe color....? i'm not sure), it's not even proper chatbot shit but i always loved it as a kid. like magic 8 ball tier ridiculous but very fun for writing prompts! it looks like this might be a bit hard mode, though. enjoy your bitchy new octopus. 


quest time.


tidepool continues to be awesome instacart shopper boy and he is soooo good at getting people diet coke. 


bought a chew rope for periwinkle with some funds, i feel like that's where his funds are going for the next god knows how long.


spot volunteers at the local kadoatie shelter, this is his new thing when not doing ice cream machine i guess. the fact that these are actually feedable is a trip to me considering how bullshit they are to deal with on OG neo. 


chu and felicity go to the merry go round and have a lovely time.  they're friends.


we get to use nerkimids and get some good ol' neopets food.

i'm already really bonding to these guys. i should rig them properly for SL soon, id love to do some proper pictures/renders.


WOBBLEDOGS


fishquest has been going well. i realized this is a really good game to just leave running and poking at it when needed when sewing and got a lot of progress done as a result. the Flat Fuck Fish Shape seems to be going strong, and i'm enjoying the process a lot. i especially like the sashimi look i seem to get sometimes...maybe green dogs with salmon pink body tofu chunk things (as como calls them) are the move? i'm feeling it out organically.



shoutout to Snacks, who i did not get any special screencaps of beyond what was in the last post but was a particular pain in the ass during that session. he lived a long life and was food averse and mean so he just kind of starved and screamed about it and was perpetually angry and i will remember him very well as a result. also no, i did not name him that on purpose, the RNG just decided to be a huge bitch. 


more to come i am sure!

[knux400]

Welcome back to another exciting installment of robot combat! Today's post will be a bit shorter, as there aren't any new weapons or armor appearing in this arena, but our match today is against King, Queen, and Jack of Spade's Battle Royale!
 

"Seems like someone's got a motif. I'm surprised we're not on a green velvet floor with like, roulette numbers or something."
"Do you know how expensive a velvet floor would be to maintain?"
"What, have you guys not invented bulletproof, fireproof, explosion-proof velvet yet?"

As you can see, the strategy here seems to be quantity over quality. While the weapons King, Queen, and Jack are packing aren't anything too special, the fact that there are now three of them will make it even more difficult for Schmoo to implement her usual strategy of isolating a single target. The good news is, though, we won't have to cheat for this fight! All three of our opponents are using Raptor weapons, which, as we know, have a minimum firing distance of 50 units. The Darsij, which we saw Sabertooth using last time and which is now available to us in the shop, has no such weakness. As long as Schmoo stays close, she'll be safe from retaliation.

"Yessssss, give me the machine gun..."

Of course, this won't be an easy feat, as she'll still have to maneuver around two other opponents while maintaining a very close distance to the first one, but at least there's a path to success here. This'll take us a while, so skip to 5:50 for the winning attempt. As you can see, our primary method of avoiding fire is to simply arrange the enemy team in such a way so that they block each other's bullets, and take cover behind their bodies after they've been destroyed. This reduces the amount of damage Schmoo takes from the other two robots while she pursues one, exploiting the gap in their firing distance.

See you next time!

Moon 61
- Burnjay is found by the clan, and welcomed warmly by Wavestar. The clan seems uneasy about how the loner smiles at their leader. She takes the name Burnsplash “for fun”.

- Burnsplash is spotted but escapes without anyone even getting to raise a paw
- Thunderdaze and Divebramble find an injured cat and take him to the clan. Wavestar is hesitant, considering, but welcomes him and names him Blizzardrapid. Breezethistle only gives him a moon anyway, which makes Wavestar feel ill.
- Wavestar sits with Breezethistle, hoping for this unease to be over soon.

Moon 72
- Coastalclan finally manages to find her. Perhaps the group all teaming up against one cat is overkill, but Wavestar has given orders and they are to be followed.

Welcome back to the Bot Arena! Today's match is against Chaos, Beauty, and Splendour at the Gaiacorp Promotion. We'll also be performing another chassis upgrade, as there's a new one available in the shop.
 

"Wow. What a team setup. Did Spade copy Gaia's homework or something?"
"Might be the other way around. But yeah, it looks like it."

The new chassis we'll be upgrading to is the Khacor Smartmove, our first heavy chassis. Like the one before it, this one comes with an improved carrying capacity as well as weighing more on its own. Don't worry, though, we're still nowhere near the weight limit for any of these battles, and we won't even get close with only a single robot.
 

"Oooh, this one has red blinking lights. That's a plus."
"You mean the red lights are a positive development or the steel frame is literally shaped like a plus?"
"Yes."

Here's a quick look at how Schmoo's carrying capacity has improved...

And here's Schmoo all kitted out with her favorite machine gun and a new set of armor.

"What gives? You skipped over the cool black armor and left me with the football getup again, only this time it has rivets."
"Sorry, fashion is secondary to combat effectiveness. You can dress up however you want when we're through with the arena."

As Schmoo mentioned earlier, the Gaiacorp team is pretty much identical to Spade's team, the only difference being the weapon distribution and the improved armor. This means our strategy will be basically identical to last time- isolate and pursue a single target while avoiding the others, and exploit the 50 unit minimum firing distance shared by all Raptor-class weapons. Simple enough. This match only took two attempts in total, but if you want to skip to the winning one, go to 0:55.

Don't worry, though, the next match will be significantly more difficult.
"Oh, yeah. I was so worried I'd be facing reasonable odds for once instead of overwhelming ones. Thanks for the reassurance."

i woke up late, so gubby accumulated a care mistake or two today. i also got a perfect score on a couple different games several times, so i get to test if doing that really can reverse care mistakes.
 

gubby also made a real cool block castle.
 

it turns out there is actually a quick way to make money on this device, and it is gambling.
 

the timing is a mystery to me, but i still managed to make a lot of money for the expensive things in the store.

TAMAWEB
You mean the giant hole in the fence that's there every time we come here?

Sherlodius craves their friend Miffy. 

What a face.

Sherlodius is sick of bread. They refuse to eat any more.

We cook.
 
Sherlodius tends to the garden.

We summon the remodeling lady to update the bathroom and kitchen! Very cool.
 
 
Sherlodius waters the garden again.

They crave their friend Nick! We spend time at the park. 
 
Social media has some new updates.
 
We invite Rahelko!
 
And do some more cooking.
 
Sherlodius wants to visit their homeworld. They go to the theme park for 2 hours.

More social media updates.
  
We give Rahelko a gift. They love it!
  
We go to Hubchi to see who's about. Check out this fella!
 
I pet Sherlodius a lot.

We spend some time with the critters in the backyard.

And get some more cooking done. 
     
We go to the fortune teller to ask about what baby Sherlodius would have if they proposed to Starchao. 
 
This is the same baby form Merlodius had, before we took screenshots. We've already got this form in our collection, so we try again.
What kind of baby would we have with Karrahtchi? This one's new.

For shits and giggles, we ask the fortune teller what Sherlodius' next form will be. 
Yep, that tracks. Hi future granny!

Sherlodius goes on vacation for a while.
 
When they get back, I give them a bouquet. They will be getting married soon, most likely!

They water the garden.

And spend time with friends.
 
Sherlodius plays Tamaweb on their phone.

We go to the doctor for a checkup. Clean bill of health!

Sherlodius crafts a rainbow room! The remodeler comes by at once to apply it.

Sherlinetchi comes over to assess. They like the design, but they don't know if it works for the room.
 
We go to the park and make a new friend. They look like an Oddish.

On Hubchi, we make another friend. This fella looks like a candlabra.
 
Sherlodius misses their friend Lisatchi. Everybody ignores the forgotten poop in the corner.
  
We tend to the garden. Every harvested plot grants 6-8 of the crop, from what I've noticed. Very useful for cooking. We receive buffs from the backyard animals. Zaneta the black cat increases the amount of time the crops are hydrated, Marijo the gray dog makes plants grow faster, and Sunshine the green alien increases the amount of harvests.
 
We cook MORE.
 
We visit the doctor. Sherlodius is sick. We craft some medicine and they consume one.

Sherlodius comes to agree with Sherlinetchi. We summon the remodeler again.
 
Oooh. Cool.
 
We update the furniture.

We invite Sherlinetchi to see! They definitely like this better.
 
There's new social media posts.
   
You are a liar, Sherlodius.

We got a new backyard friend! Their name is Andreana, and they are a green alien like Sunshine. They increase the time it takes for plants to start dying from dehydration.


TAMAGOTCHI
Jakii brings Death a gift. It's a flower! Wow, a nice present for once.

They finally evolve into their adult forms! I heard the first sounds and immediately started scrambling to find them. Babe was very worried for a second. My Young Mametchi evolved into Furawatchi, and his Nikatchi evolved into Mimiyoritchi. Death's favorite food is now apple pie, and she hates BBQ. Jakii now likes melon and hates sausage.

Death and Jakii are vibing with their new idle animations.

Death seems to be kissing hearts that pop. But it's not a distressing experience. Alright, cool.
  
Jakii is just spinning in circles making herself dizzy.
    
They both seem to like music, too!

Jakii comes over to give Death a gift. Neither of them seem enthusiastic.

Excuse me she gave her WHAT

....................I swear to the gods.

Moon 73
- Wavestar makes Duckbramble, Riptidestem, and Sealeye warriors. Cats whisper that Sealeyes strange appearing marks mean she's destined to betray them, but Wavestar growls that one bad rogue shouldn't make them wary of kits they watched grow.
- Reedpaw, Wetpaw, and Pearlypaw are made apprentices, given to Egretfreckle, Mudclaw, and Arielecho respectively. Wavestar does not believe Pearly's disability should stop him from being a warrior if he wishes to, and Arielecho is a trusted warrior.
- The death of Whaleflit, Squidraven, and Eelnewt hangs heavy in the clan. Wavestar can't meet her warriors eyes.
- Brackishtide, Heronkit, Riptidestem, and Crabgrass are heavily effected, and the clan is careful around them.
- Colby Jacksplash is harsh when rejecting Stormcrash, but the cats all seem to agree this will likely continue to be a problem. 
- Chevresurf and Spongeburr have a very public break up, Wavestar is very wary of couples this moon she's decided.
- Two kittypets are found this moon injured and brought back to the clan. They're named Shelleagle and Faunadrip. 
- The medicine cats do not have high hopes for Shelleagle, abd Wavestar just nods in response and asks them to try.

Moon 74
- Shelleagle does not survive her brokenback, Wavestar holds a passing ceremony anyway. Coralhiss whispers that maybe they should just focus on the clan for a bit, but Wavestar won't meet her eyes.
- Koipelt is attacked by a horde of bees and yowls at the cats around for not stopping this before it happened
- Scaleblossom recovers from a fight with rats... only to get in a fight with rats at the fresh prey pile. Wavestar desperately wishes they could rid the camp of rats.

- Spongeburr and Chevresurf become mates again
- Stormcrash tries again with Colby Jacksplash, and just grumbles when anyone else asks what happened
- Wavestar and Captain find a kittypet climbing trees, and he joins them on their patrol. He takes the name Softbubble and Wavestar seems happy

Moon 75
- Drizzlepaw and Currentpaw, at only 10 moons, are both surprised to be getting warriors ceremonies. But Wavestar says they're advanced, and names them Drizzlesnarl and Currentbreak.
- Coralhiss wonders if, maybe, it's Too Early, but Wavestar won't hear it. They need more warriors. Coralhiss does not like that reasoning.
- Toadsnarl joins the elders den, immediately relaxing among her clanmates.
- With terrifying coordination, a gang of rogues catches a patrol off gaurd. The cats barely manage to escape, Craneclaw and Foambreak slipping behind and ending up dead. 
- Wavestar reminds herself to hold it together, and thinks that, maybe, after they find Snailtide, the might need to start chasing rogues off.

Moon 76
- Brackishtide can't tell them, but staring at her body Wavestar has to wonder what beast took her life. This has to be just a bad start to the moom
- A fire breaks out in camp after a thunder storm. Cats scatter, grabbing kits and apprentices and rushing them. Coralhiss ends up stuck in the fire, with Egretfreckle and Gullflake, Wavestar desperately trying to reach them as the flames grow larger. She retreats when she knows she can't, the clan hiding at Doeclan till the flames die out
- 5 cats dead, 5 vigils, Wavestar can't face her clan, but she must. Starclan says she must. Algaewish, Barnaclekit, Ottertalon, and Riptidestem seem particularly affected.
- Wavestar approaches Crabgrass, who remains grief stricken, and asks him to take over as deputy. Coralhiss would have agreed. He is trying not to be angry with Wave, she didn't start the fire, and accepts quietly. The clan cheers for him, and he feels hollow.
- Doeclan was a wonderful host for the few days it took them to get back into camp, and Wavestar makes sure to thank them at the gathering.

- Heronkit learns an important lesson about sticking her paw in strange holes, you never know what's hiding in them. It was a snake.
- Troutleaf goes to Doeclan's border, hoping she'll see a certain cat. Unfortunately they're accompanied by someone else, and she is sent back to her camp with a good amount of scratches. 
- Pelicanshard finds an injured loner named Swanfleck and brings her to camp.

Moon 78
- Sharkdance, deciding he's getting too old for fighting, becomes a mediator. Pearldusk lovingly refers to it as his midlife crisis, and the other mediators are less than pleased to have a couple in their midst.
- Wavestar honors Pearlypaw for overcoming his struggles, honors him for his intelligence, and names him Pearlyswirl. He slinks off to avoid celebrating, perhaps feeling like the clan still won't take him seriously. 
- Crabgrass smiles as his kits are made apprentices. He knows they're all missing their mother, but Coralhiss is surely smiling at them from Starclan. 
- Frogpaw to Penguinmask, Toadkit to Ghostwave, Paddlepaw to Flukedawn, Marinepaw to Bassdust for mediator training, Barnaclepaw to Hookstream, Heronpaw to Duckbramble, and Streampaw to Tunastripe. Wavestar felt dizzy.
- Pool's maybe let his kits explore too much, he realizes, as Shrimpkit is poisoned by a sea creature and he sits as she dies. Wavestar sits with him and purrs, trying to soothe her clanmate.
- A kittypet wanders into camp, and asks to join. He takes the name Dovedrift

Moon 79
- Reedpaw and Wetpaw are given their full names, Reedfur and Wetfleck.
- Breezethistle shrieks when  burrow collapses, yelling that she's sure she's sure she's sure Penguinmask is in there.

- Crabgrass gets his paw stuck in a two leg trap and heavily damaged.

- Conchroar and Leaklily are brought into camp by separate patrols.

- Meadowmoss spots the seizure before it starts, and Moonfluff is guided to her nest to be somewhere more comfortable when she wakes.
- Floods take multiple cats this moon. Brookstem and Pelicanshard on one patrol, and Divebramble on another. Wavestar yowls while watching Divebramble be carried away, the clan seeing her shaken in a way they haven't before.

What a fun time Wavestar is having


We went up 1 cat as far as numbers are concerned.
I am so mad about Areilecho being missing. Give me my boy and his rainbow leather collar back.
And losing Coralhiss, Divebramble, and Brackishtide! 
Admittedly part of my worry is that Breezethistle is 117 moons. She's probably not gonna be around much longer, and... a lot of her early kits are dead. I don't know. Wavestar hasn't had any kits, I'm very sad that I'll lose it all suddenly. 

Speaking of Wavestar. 

I have been trying to get Wavestar and Rayshimmer to be mates since he joined the clan basically. And then he had Currentspeckle, and then after she died, he invited Kelp from another clan. And Kelp is adorable, I can't explain why I like him but I do.
So Wave, Ray, and Kelp are all in love and I'm trying to let that happen naturally but... I might force it. I can just pick them to be mates, but I was trying to let the digital cats digital. 
Also, admittedly, If the poison doesn't take a life I'm making it take one. I think this need to have a consequence. And she still has 9 stars, I'm very tired of leaders seemingly losing all their lives from old age (I play this game too much)

ALSO I forgot to mention, the begining of this moon I turned "unkown parent" Back on, I was hoping it would cause drama. I apparently didn't need to do that.

Pippa got the jackpot on the slots today. the matchmaker has visited once so far, but i'm waiting for a good match. Pippa.
 

Gubby is an adult today, and since Flowertchi is a perfect care character, this seems to confirm the games being able to reverse care mistakes. neat!
 

Gubby tried on a hat today, too.
 

we've now accumulated more yard animals in Tamaweb than the first run, including a pink striped cat of some kind.
 

Pickle birthday 2!

Moon 85
- Riptidestem won't look at her kits, seeming unattached. Wavestar attempts to ask her to care, ask her to pay attention, but she growls and snaps and says Wavestar doesn't get it. And she backs down, not wanting to stress the mother. The medicine cats name the kits. Lakekit, Mistykit, and Whalekit.
- Caakirimist is hoping for a big litter. 
- Two legs raid the camp. Crabgrass attempts to grab kits and ends up getting taken, Wavestar can't help but think Riptidestem is at fault for not protecting her own kits.
- Two legs take Abalonepaw, Oysterpaw, Greenflood, Pool, Lakekit, Crabgrass, Cutiebreeze, Stormcrash, Clamheart, and Airripple. The clan looks to Wavestar, hoping she has a solution, hoping she can find them. She's going to try.
- Poison starts to heal from the clan, but it's solemn. It doesn't feel... good. 
- Stress gets to Wavestar, in her sleep one night she feels something snap. She's sure of it, the Dark Forest has taken a life. She's being punished she thinks. Breezethistle struggles to soothe the worry.
- Wavestar choses Colby Jacksplash to take over as Deputy. The clan likes him, and he's not related to her, so maybe they'll be kind. He's honored.
- Frogpaw and Streampaw are named Frogluarel and Streamfur
- Ottertalon and Algaewish announce they are mates. While cats are happy, a few whisper that Algae has given up on Arielecho being found.
- Colby Jacksplash's first patrol as deputy goes bad, and Faunadrip gets her pelt torn by rogues.
- Hookstream and Streamfur bring in a loner named Egret.

Moon 86
- Wavestar defends the camp with her life, fighting a viscous rogue. She loses a life but wins the fight, and cats are reminded why starclan chose her to lead
- Pearldusk is expecting kits! She's immediately moved to the nursery despite protesting, but Wavestar really needs some to Not fight her right now
- Caakirimist has a litter of 4 kits, and looks at them with so much love. Riptidestem still remains indifferent to hers. Swankit, Eelkit, Finkit, and Deepkit.
- Conchroar is swept away in a flood.
- Snailtide gets head damage in a downpour
- New warriors are always good, Wavestar thinks. Toadslip, Paddlepath, and Heronclaw. Their mentors are so proud, but Heronclaw can only hope his parents are watching from starclan
- Pearlyswirl keeps pushing himself too hard, and his joints are always sore it seems. Breezethistle makes him lay down, but he growls about it being unfair under his breath.
- Ghostwave carries an injured loner to camp, she takes the name Scalechase.
- Puddleheart and Hookstream find an injured kittypet and take her back to camp. She takes the name Cavesplash.
- Wavestar vaguely asks the medicine cats about their chances, and the cats seem optimistic. She nods and heads back to her den, no one is entirely sure what to make of it.

Moon 87
- Pearldusk hopes for a big litter!
- Thunderdaze has been avoiding retirement for moons, but Wavestar has to put her paw down eventually. It's time.
- None of the missing cats have been located yet, and Wavestar seems so tired. She spends time with two close friends of hers, Rayshimmer and Kelpdrop, and it's the first time the clan has seen her laugh in moons.
- One of the kits comments about Wavestar's fur looking gray, cause she's old. Wavestar handles it gracefully, but sulks by her mother in the medicine den. She can't help but look at Breezethistle and see how grey she looks now, compared to when the clan started.
- Gooseflood, Hookstream, and Duckbramble find some two legs attempting to drown a cat in a bag and manage to save the cat. He's brought home and takes the name Sirensong
-Flashfloods manage to grab Newttangle and Streamfur on separate days

Moon 88
- Pearldusk and Sharkdance welcome two kits into the world, Divekit and Barnaclekit. Wavestar smiles, but hearing a kit honored for Divebramble hurts in a way she can't describe.
- Finpaw is named Finswirk, Brinepaw is named Brinestripe. Brinestripe is promptly given Ribbitpaw to mentor, despite the clan being wary of this.
- Wavestar asks Colby Jacksplash to stop visiting Malik, the kittypet, over the border. She wouldn’t mind as much if it wasn't every moon he was getting caught, the other clans are talking. Colby Jacksplash playfully asks if she's jealous, and doesn't seem to react much to her less than enthusiastic reaction. 
- Swanfleck is not having a good time with her weak leg. And worse she now has constant joint pain

Moon 89
- Rapidfern is expecting kits
- Divedrift peacefully retires to the elders den
- Cavesplash brings home a kittypet named Panda. She wants a new name completely, and Wavestar names her Cranewing. She vaguely complains about being named after a different animal, but Wavestar doesn't know what a panda is.
- Rayshimmer and his group find a loner named Dewmoon and take him home
- Rayshimmer is incredibly embarrassed when Dewmoon informs Wavestar how much he was complimenting her leadership skills and "silky fur"
- Kelpdrop laughs and agrees with his mate, winking at the leader, who poofs up a bit and hides with her mother in the medicine den.

Moon 90
- Smallfin decides to wander off alone. He's found dead later, looking peaceful, and while the clan mourns they're happy it was seemingly an easy death.
- Rapidfern hopes for a small litter. Breezethistle thinks it will be, and warns her to take it easy even though she's not feeling nearly as "advanced as some queens".
- Snailtide is slowing down, ans joins the elders. Wavestar visits the older cats a few times this moon, making sure the cats are fed and their beds are fresh
- Colby Jacksplash is caught talking to the loner, Splash. Wavestar asks why he has to keep talking to loners, Colby just shrugs
- Moonfluff, and elder by title but considerably a young cat, has taken to chasing loners off the territory. Breezethistle just asks her to mind any seizure triggers, and Moonfluff hisses that she always does.
- Reedfur doesn't return from a solo patrol. A kittypet reports thinking they saw two legs taking a cat somewhere that looked like that. The clan assumes the worst, that Reedfur is lost. 
- Wavestar is a little bitter towards Colby Jacksplash. He's fine, she supposes, but he won't listen. Gullfeather could have found their missing cats, she thinks bitterly. Or Coralhiss, or Crabgrass. Scaleblossom would have at least chased rogues off and not been constantly flirting.
- She misses Coralhiss, she was the best deputy. They worked well together. And Crabgrass always tried his best, she wishes he was still in the clan. The clan feels so small while also being way too big.
- Kelpdrop and Rayshimmer approach one evening, after dancing around it for moons. The three decide to all be mates.

Moom 91
- While on a walk with her mate, Rapidfern has her single kitten. She returns saying Ripplekit's birth was easy, Blueash looks traumatized, and Breezethistle debates hitting them both for not listening to her ever.
- Moonfluff was certain she'd leave Troutleaf without a mate one day, certain she'd get unreasonably sick and Troutleaf would move on from her. Instead she looks at her mate, he love, slowly fading till she's got no fight left from Green cough. No one can comfort her, she's numb.
- Tunastripe wishes to retire. She can now spend her free time visiting the medicine den, flirting with her mate Breezethistle. 
- Apprentices always make Wavestar feel excited to see the clan grow. Mistypaw is given to Duckbramble, and Whalepaw is given to Captain.
- Riverstripe wakes up to various things stacked on her, with kitten giggles in the distance as things fall around her.
- Drizzlesnarl and Riptidestem become mates. Her apprenticed kits try to congratulate her, but she won't look at them.
- Wavestar goes training alone, trying to work through her worries. She has to remind herself that no clan leader is perfect
- A horde of rogues attacks a patrol, and while the clan mostly wins Gentleripple is left with a broken jaw.
- Duckdawn and Cavesplash discover a can and bring him home. He's given the name Sandkit

Moon 92
- Swanpaw to Scalechase, Eelpaw to Drizzlesnarl, Finpaw to Spongeburr, Deeppaw to Turtlescreech. Wavestar smiles at the apprentices, but seems lost in thought. Lakekit would have been an apprentice last moon. Abalonepaw, Oysterpaw... would they be warriors? Are they... okay? But she keeps up the happy appearance and keeps going.
- Puddleheart and Softbubble find an injured kittypet to join the clan. He takes the name Flamingoswirl
- Blueash gets a torn ear from a dog Malik sends his way. Colby Jacksplash doesn't meet Wavestar's eye when she hisses that maybe the need to chase that rogue off already.

Moon 93
-Malik mocks the clan from inside his twoleg den. Wavestar will go back to finding her missing clanmates, but he's reached s limit for tolerance
- Captain and Leaklily announce to the clan they have become mates, and Wavestar congratulates them sincerely
- Gooseflood, Deeppaw, Mistypaw, and Beaverleaf find a young loner to join the clan, his name is Ottercrash
- A Doeclan apprentice named Gigabytepaw joins the clan, and she takes the name Gillpaw. Again, Wavestar pretends this is an entirely different cat, much to the annoyance of Doeclan's leader.
- Fishwhisker and Finswirl find a kittypet to join the clan named Brookmimic.

Moon 94
- Wavestar is seen loitering at the border of Doeclan, looking for a specific cat. She won't say why besides "leader business"
- Pool is located, finally, someone! She's brought back to clan, and only a day later Greenflood strolls in. Wavestar is overjoyed, moons of worry lifting off her shoulders. This has to be a good sign
- Ribbitpaw is named Ribbitmeadow, honored for her cunning. 
- Divepaw is given to Pool to apprentice under, and asks her quietly if she's sure she's not too "kittypet now". They go back and forth, and Wavestar thinks this... maybe isn't a good plan for Divepaw. She's redirected to medicine cat apprentice, under Breezethistle. Maybe Breezethistle's last apprentice, but that thought hurts Wave. Divepaw naturally is interested in Starclan, so this works for her.
- Barnaclepaw is given to Caakirimist, and sandpaw is given to Duckdawn.
- Sealeyes and Pearlyswirl have been very close for a long time, Wavestar is very happy to see them become mates.
- A patrol finds an injured loner, who looks ready to fight till the end. She hesitantly joins the clan and takes the name Onyxpool.
- Rayshimmer and Cavesplash find a tom with young kits to take to camp. He takes the name Bubblingberry and brings Cranekit, Mudkit, and Toadkit.
- Fuanadrip and the new loner, Onyxpool, are placed together. Both suffering from mangled tails. Breezethistle holds her apprentice with her tail, knowing she might be learning an important lesson about their job soon. No every cat can be saved 

Moon 95
- Fuanadrip and Onyxpool both pass from mangled tails. 
- Sirensong goes on a walk alone, and is found dead. There's a peaceful expression on his face.
- So much death is bound to take its toll. Drizzlesnarl, Swanpaw, and Whalepaw all seem particularly affected.
- Gillpaw is named Gillgorse, and just seems tired of the whole ceremony.
- Tears are she'd when the clan finds Abalonepaw, now a full grown cat with so many stories to tell. Pool cries watching at least one of her kits be named a warrior, Abalonelilac, but notes that her siblings cheer just as loudly.
- Ghostwave admits, quietly, to Wavestar that there's a loner walking around named Morelpad. They're mates and if she could find him... she promises to try, but... they're missing clanmates as well.
- Pool and Duckbramble bring back an orange tom named Fishsun

Moon 96
- Mudclaw is attacked by a fox and killed. Crankit dies from a claw wound. Leaklily announced she's expecting kits. Wait that one's good.
- Wavestar is now 100 moons. She wishes she had kits, her mates are on the edge of retirement, and when she's gone she's worried the clan will forget her.
- Finpaw is named Finshadow.
- Sharkdance stares into the distance, longing for something... more. She then fights a horde of rats. That's not really what she had in mind but... the clan has always been there for her.
- Scalechase has gained a permanent limp. Breezethistle doesn't know a nicer way to say this.
- A trained medicine cat joins the clan, his name is Fishbounce. 
- Scaleblossom and Cranewing find an injured loner named Carpspeckle

Year: 8
Cats: 85
Food: Amazing
Medicine: Great

[aeshihowl]

TAMAWEB
Sherlodius feels like singing! We bust out the microphone. They jam the fuck out all across the room and back.
    
We head to Hubchi.

What...... the hell..... *unlocks pepper spray* Get away from my grandchild! Johnny Bravo lookin ass--

Oh. Okay. Fine. But I've got my eye on you. NO funny business.
  
This one is so pretty...
 
These guys seem to be a bit small to be adults.... Sherlodius spends time with them anyways, but does not seem to be interested past that.
 
   
 
Sherlodius craves their friend. We visit them at the park!

Now Sherlodius wants some Heart Beef. Ok. Here you go! Oh my-- slow down before you choke!


We hang out at the park some more, and make a new friend.

They crave the Foxy plush. Looks like they're going through it right now. They must be thinking about getting married. But to whom??
 
I decide to invite over Sherlodius's parents. They have some lovely family time, and Sherlodius seems to be feeling better.
 
 
They make a social media post.

Sherlodius attends to some chores as they mentally prepare themself.
 
The mailman comes to deliver an encouraging newspaper. They really needed that.

It's time to choose. Sherlodius visits the Fortune Teller one last time. They want to know about a future with Mozellechi.
 
Sherlodius seems excited by the results!!!!

We invite Mozellechi over to gift him a couple things. He receives a magazine, a teddy, and a ball.
 
Sherlodius reluctantly decides to doff their wings, reasoning that they are too big to wear regularly during their married life.

Now, for the date.
 
Yes! It's a match!

 
And a new Tamagotchi is born.
 
Her name is Mozelodia. We use the bathroom first thing.

Hooray! Good job.

She plays with her rattle.

Papa Mozellechi comes over to see her! He seems over the fuckin moon.
 
Sherlodius visits next. Secretary does not seem impressed.
 
Mozelodia looks around at her new home. How wonderful~
 
We visit the park! Nobody is there, but we have lots of fun running about anyways.

Time for her first checkup. She's very healthy!
 
So much excitement. Time for a nap.

Mozelodia cuddles with the teddy. It still smells like her parent.

She has a great time playing with Foxy.

Time for a bath. We must prepare, for.........

Her first birthday party!!!! I'm not sure who the pink one on the left is.

Mozelodia is now orange!!! How cute.

Mozelodia spends time with my kiddo's Tamaweb, Yaya.
  
We find some friends at the park.
  
She's tired. It's time to sleep.

And as soon as she wakes, we go back to the park! So many new friends.
 
She wants to spend more time with Dianechu!
  
We also invite Claudietchi.
 
We water the garden. The cats have a staring contest.

We can visit Hubchi now! We interact with interesting-looking Tamas.

   
 
  
TAMAGOTCHI
I made them both wear the costume.

They seem to tolerate each other now. Or maybe the costume is just good at disguising their distaste.

gubby is chilling today. she drove an "RC Car" that appears to be a duck around, though it's moving too fast to see well in the image.
 

Pippa saw a couple more suitors today, but no one especially interesting. Pippa.
 

today, Pickle evolved offscreen without my knowledge, which i didn't realize they could do in this game.
 

Pickle seems to have inherited Agatha II's penchant for lying on social media.
 

#burgergrind
 

it seems Pickle's friend has joined him in adhering to the theme.
 

fish marriage.
 

Lucian wanted his whaleparent to visit immediately after being born.
 

he also made some friends at the park.
 

i made sure to have a different number of care starts for his birthday so that he would have a different child form from Pickle. they still look pretty similar, though. (Pickle!)
 

cancri had some more slime.
 

it's BIG CHALLENGES.
 

BIG CHALLENGES tackle
 

cuddly again.
 

BIG CHALLENGES seems to be afraid of the new toys.

Welcome back to the Bot Arena! Today's match is against Singularity and Paradigm of The Workshop. And let's just rip this band-aid off right away: We're going to have to cheat again.
 

"Aww, only two of you this time?"

As you can see, Singularity has the same armor as Schmoo currently does, as well the Torrika KR-2, a nailgun that essentially functions as an upgraded version of the Darsij. It has a higher rate of fire and deals more damage per projectile, giving it a far higher damage output. Its firing distance is very similar to the Darsij, having a maximum firing distance of 140 and a minimum firing range of 30. Unfortunately, that means that much like the Darsij, we can't beat this thing by getting too close- so that just leaves long distance as our only option. The weapon we originally cheated in for this purpose, the Raptor DT-03, only has half the total damage output of the Torrika, making it far too weak to be a viable option.
 

"Oooh, I like this one too. This looks fun."
"Yeah, well... maybe later. I just finished explaining why you can't use it this match."
[incoherent grumbling]

The Torrika KR-2 is available to us in the shop, but that would leave Schmoo with an identical loadout to Singularity, which means that she only has a 50% chance of winning a one-on-one engagement with them, and she wouldn't have any health left over to tackle Paradigm with. Sooooo we need to cheat in another sniper rifle.
 

"Oh that's a big gun. Are you sure that's okay for me to have right now?"

This rifle normally appears a bit later, but I added the word "prototype" to the name and I cranked the damage down significantly. As you can see, while the range is easily enough to stay outside of the Torrika's range, the damage per minute is significantly lower, making this a... hopefully reasonable option for this stage of the game. Let's see how Schmoo looks with her new less-than-legitimate weaponry!
 

"I dunno, dude, this still feels pretty powerful to me..."

And with that, we're ready for our match!
 

Oh. I just... did it on the first attempt. Maybe I went a bit overboard with the stats on this thing. Oh well, a win is a win, and I can go back and refine things later if I want. See you all next time!







"I told you."
"Quiet."

[cheet]

rimworld pawns count as creatures, right?

as some of you may know, rimworld released its newest expansion "odyssey" yesterday. it adds a LOT of stuff (as rimworld's dlcs tend to do) but its biggest point of focus is the new grav engine, which you can use to create a gravship and fly around the planet in what is basically a mobile colony. this means that nomadic colonies are finally, FINALLY for-real viable, which is something i've wanted for basically as long as i've been playing. ideally, building and piloting a gravship will be the focus of this colony...if i can find one.

otherwise, i don't have any specific goal here. i usually don't. maybe i'll go for one of the new odyssey endings? anomaly even? i'm not sure. i'm way more used to just playing until i get bored with a given colony

that being said, here's our starting lineup:

CHARLIE

the designated planter and, as necessary, negotiator. good at hauling ass, not good at hauling. especially not good at killing. i really really like the backstory combo of genetic reincarnation and dog walker. i don't know why he is one thousand years old

RYNYK

primary doctor and secondary researcher. has the best combat skill out of the crashlanders by far. more or less specialized in those fields exclusively, but maybe someday she'll get a couple points in crafting or something

FOUR EYES

probably the smartest bug on the planet. primary researcher and a solid builder. she also has a not-insignificant level of combat skill, but her genetic nearsightedness means she'll probably be more reliant on melee in a pinch.

ZEE

assigned cook, secondary builder, and backup doctor. zee is the youngest of the crashlanders in both biological and chronological age (i.e. the number in parenthesis under their name) but he has a nicely versatile spread of skills to apply as needed. his biggest weakness is probably a bad back from an unfortunate gene roll.


we also have a cat named lionel.

these colonists might look a little weird if you're only used to the vanilla xenotypes. right now my game is loaded with WAAAYYYY too many mods, a significant portion of which add a number of their own genes. one of them also adds a handful of random genes out of that pool to all generated humanoids. most of the time this will generate people with tails or random trait modifiers. other times it will turn a rabbit into a centaur with wings. i also tacked the bisexual trait onto all of them because i don't think the mod i was using to give every pawn a sexuality trait is updated to 1.6

 

our home tile is a grassland archipelago. there isn't a ton of space (or wood) to work with here, but hopefully we can figure something out... or we'll move to a different tile entirely. the latter will probably only be a last resort option, at least until we have a gravship up and running. this tile also happens to have the "windy" modifier (good for wind turbines, assumedly) and more fish. more fish will make for a solid food source once we have the research for it, but is especially relevant for our ideoligion. speaking of:

 

not anything crazy - there's already enough going on here that i didn't want a super impactful set of precepts on top - but i did want fishing culture to lean a little further into the "tidepool" theme. otherwise, it's pretty standard to the average rimworld experience, with a couple tweaks to allow polyamory and accept (non-colonist) genetic failures. those probably will not appear very often at all but i like them.

the next post about this colony will probably be a lot shorter just by virtue of having way less exposition to get into. updates will be.....maybe once per in-game season? more likely once per play session if i am being honest. goodbye

LORE

Moon 97
- Mistyash, Whalnose, and Eelshore are made into warriors. While the three get along, the brothers can't help but consider their lost sister Lakekit. Does she even know them? Does she miss them? They might never meet
- Riptidestem congratulates her sons, telling them she's always been proud of them. They're a happy family it seems, Wavestar eyes her warily from the background. She still remembers those early days.
- Rapidfern and Blueash cheer loudly as their perfect kit is named Ripplepaw. Ribbitmeadow smiles at their apprentice, but later tells Wavestar Ripplepaw is... a handful. Wavestar laughs, but Ribbitmeadow isn't joking.
- Clamheart finds his way back to the clan, and clanmates rejoice. Loosely, Wavestar still has hope for the others.
- When Swanpaw returns alone from a patrol, sobbing, Wavestar immediately sends out search parties. Two legs, again. Scaleblossom never should have taken two apprentices so close to two legs. Now they're missing Sandpaw, Flukedawn, and Scaleblossom. 
- The clan can growl and snap at her all they want, but she is trying to find their missing clanmates. She can't make them appear from thin air.
- Sunbracken and Gillgorse fund a tom and his four kits to take home, he needs help. He takes the name Couragecreek, his kits are Squidkit, Algaekit, Rainkit, and Crawfishkit.

Moom 98
- Leaklily has his single kit while on a walk with his mate Captain. Basskit is a pretty she cat, Breezethistle might kill them for being stupid though.
- A new cat named Scrub joins the clan, and takes the name Scrubheart
- Deeppaw is named Deepbumble.
- Mudpaw to Ottercrash, Toadpaw to Scrubheart. Apprentices. Wavestar wants a kit.
- Whalnose tries following the scent of a Doeclan cat trespassing. He follows it to a tree, just a step behind, hearing the young warriors warning as a dog snatches him. Doeclan sends their apologies, but the clan is grieving.
- A large patrol finds a kit, a sweet little she cat who wiggles her way around camp and asks too many questions. Wavestar decides in that moment she's adopting this kit. Her, her two mates, and a kit. It's perfect. She was adopted as well, so it makes sense.
- Breezethistle tells her she's overthinking this, but congratulates her.
- Captain and Voleshell take a risk exploring an abandoned two leg nest, and lose their lives ambushed by rogues. Wavestar has to personally inform the new queen, Leaklily, that his mate will not be coming home. The rest of the clan avoids the nursery at all costs.
- Fishbounce finds a bleeding cat and helps him with his litter. He takes the name Boatseeker and has 5 kits. Crockit, Gullkit, Finkit, Marshkit, and Cloudkit

Moon 99
-Stormpaw is given to Pearlyswirl to mentor under. The clan whispers about Wavestar's choice, but she believes Pearly deserves a chance. And her daughter will be perfect to show what the tom can do despite his disability.
- Leaklily doesn't want other cats attention, he wants Captain. Wavestar checks on him regularly anyway.
- Gooseflood and Rayshimmer help a loner escape a dog, and he joins the clan. He takes the name Rainnewt
- Cavesplash and Frogluarel bring back a kittypet named Coral

Moon 100
- Pearldusk falls into a Sinkhole and is unable to be retrieved.
- Ribbitmeadow is bitten by a snake and succumbs to the venom. Ripplepaw watches, everyone is sure she's upset, but she moves on and is given to Colby Jacksplash as her new mentor.
- Ghostwave retires, and Wavestar smiles happily at all the elders her clan can care for.
- Swanpaw and Barnaclepaw are named Swantalon and Barnaclestripe
- Softbubble adopts an abandoned litter from a rogue who doesn't want the three kits. Meaning.... kitnapping kind of. Wavestar doesn't want to support kitnapping but the three kits are so thin... Yes Fogkit, Swankit, and Crabkit will make wonderful additions.
- Scalechase and Cavesplash become mates
- Rayshimmer's patrol find an injured tom, barely older then a kit, and take him home. He takes the name Frozenghost.
- An older kittypet named Shantyspirit joins the clan.
- Floods take the life of Hookstream and Carpspeckle.

Moon 101
- Ripplepaw is pissed. Ripplepaw is seething. Ripplepaw is 10 moons old, a d manages to take down a full grown warrior. And she hisses her grievances out at Gooseflood as she kills her.
- Ripplepaw is not sneaky though. She doesn't do this in a secret place, she does this in the open, in the day. Cats scatter, Wavestar is startled, and kits are hidden away from the apprentice. 
- Colby Jacksplash won't meet her eyes, he stands with his apprentice in front of Wavestar. Wavestar has to make decisions alone.
- Wavestar makes two decisions. One, Colby Jacksplash is to immediately retire, she cant trust he wasn't involved. Two... she hesitates looking at the kit, asking if she has any reason to trust she's learned a lesson. Ripplepaw is annoyed, says there's no lesson, says Gooseflood deserved this.
- Ripplepaw is exiled, Wavestar won't listen to her parents as she chases the apprentice out. Colby Jacksplash watches, then goes to the elders den to hide. The other Elders won't look at him, he supposes that's fair.
- Rayshimmer is appointed the next Deputy, Wavestar needs someone she can trust. Rayshimmer and Kelpdrop with quietly mention they would probably retire soon but Wave... Wave just wants a few moons. She begs. So Rayshimmer listens.
- So much death, Drizzlesnarl, Spongeburr, and Crabkit are particularly affected.
- Colby Jacksplash swears he didn't know she'd do this, but Wavestar has had enough of him. He doesn't take deputy seriously. She's tired. She's done 
-Riptidestem finds a tom named Deliwave and takes him to the camp.

Moon 102
- The rogue crow has died.
- Pearlyswirl announced she's expecting kits. 
- Apprentices. Squidpaw to Finshadow,Algaepaw to Beaverleaf, Rainpaw to Gillgorse, Crawfishpaw to Gentleripple, Fogpaw to Caakirimist, Swanpaw to Duckdawn, and Crabpaw to Mistyash.
- It's a pretty boring moon so far, Wavestar thinks. They need it to be really.
- There's no luck finding their clanmates, Rayshimmer is tired, and Starclan won't give Wavestar a sign.
- Wavestar is awoken one morning to yowling, expecting the worst she races out of her den. There he is! Her brother, it's Crabgrass! He's home!
- Crabgrass, Wavestar, and Breezethistle have a wonderful reunion. Crabgrass is given back his position as deputy, and Wavestar has so much to fill him in on.
- Rainpaw has a seizure in the middle of camp, Moonfluff guides the cats around him on how to handle it, and stays with the kit after to make sure he doesn't have any more.
- While training some apprentices the clan find Floundermallow and takes her home
- Crabgrass's first patrol is to find a friend of his, Agnes, and bring her to camp. She takes the name Agnescurrent.
- Greenflood finds himself taken by two legs, and narrowly escapes. He suffers blood loss from jumping through a window

Moon 103
- Pearlyswirl moves into the nursery and hopes for a small litter. Stormpaw is assigned to someone else, but she hardly listens, she spends every morning visiting Pearly and bringing him prey. She's hoping she gets to mentor his kits one day.
- The medicine cats are a lot more worried about him not knowing when he'll be... ready. Sealeye and Pearlyswirl are begged by Breezethistle not to be wandering around.
- Gentleripple and Rayshimmer find a loner named Agatha and take him home. He takes the name Agathacreek

Moon 104
- Pearlyswirl and Sealeyes welcome a single kit named Foamkit. He's everything to them.
- Wavestar is surprised how different he looks from his parents, but he's just a baby. She congratulates them, and swats Stormpaw away from the nursery to let the family rest.
- Divepaw keeps making jokes as she's named Divefade, and Breezethistle tries her best not to show how funny she thinks the cat can be. 
- New warriors! Mudpaw to Mudmane and Toadpaw to Toadspore.
- New apprentices! Basspaw to Boatseeker, Crocpaw to Deepbramble, Gullpaw to Agnescurrent, Finpaw to Couragecreek, Marshpaw to Eelshore, and Cloudpaw to Dewmoon.
- Scalechase does not vibe with she cat and decided fuck you gender binary. Be like Scalechase, they know how to live

Moon 105
- In their dreams, the medicine cats meet Cutiebreeze and Reedfur again. They made it to starclan! But the clan won't see them again.
- Wavestar trues not to be devastated by the news, looking to starclan and begging them to send the others back. Crabgrass sits by her side, thinking about how alone he felt for so many Moon with the two legs.
- Wavestar hesitates with promoting Stormpaw to warrior. She's a kind kit, but will that serve the clan in a fight? Still, she names her kit Stormhusk and tells her to listen for starclans guidance.
- Divefade is also right, the gender binary doesn't suit them. Nonbinary cats are all the rage.
- A Doeclan warrior begs to join the clan. Saplingpaw, she's renamed Splashpaw. When asked about it at a gathering, Wavestar insists Splashpaw has always been her kit. Always.
- Toadslip brings a young shecat from Twigclan home, claiming they're mates. She takes the name Driftwood.

Moom 106
- Colby Jacksplash loses a battle against green cough. Wavestar and him never quite became friends again, but she will miss him.
- Ottertalon is swallowed by a sinkhole.
- Splashpaw is already ready to be a warrior, Wavestar is certain. She's given the name Splashskitter.
- Rayshimmer finds her later to talk, rambling about how he hasn't known her long, but he's proud to call her his kit.
- Moonfluff is stressed, and it keeps causing seizures. The medicine cats can't get her to relax no matter what they try.
- A group of rogues manage to corner a patrol, and Algaepaw does not survive their claws.
- A different patrol find Sandywhisker and bring him home.
- Wavestar finds a kit to bring home to her mates, who she fondly names Currentkit. He's adorable she thinks.
- Kelpdrop is crying when she gets home
- Rayshimmer was taken in a flood.

Moon 107
- Wavestar feels like she's not really here. Rayshimmer can't be dead. She's sure she keeps seeing him. She's sure he's there when she lays with Kelpdrop. She's sure he's watching the kits.
- Kelpdrop is so quiet. When he's not quiet he's crying. Wavestar and him stick close together, bit neither says much to their clanmates. Breezethistle brings them meals, but they hardly eat.
- Puddleheart dies in a fight with a rogue
- Driftfuzz, Squidpaw, Beaverleaf, and Paddlepath seem particularly affected by the lose.
- Garlicbat, an injured tom, joins the clan. I'm not changing this one.
- A small orange tom is found, and Wavestar takes him as hers. Names him Pondkit.
- Crabgrass and Coral bring an injured tom to camp named Miststreak
- A Twigclan apprentice waits at the border, says his name is Antpaw. He days starclan lead him there. 
- Wavestar looks at him, stares maybe a little too long, decides he's small for a 7 moon old and needs her. He's given the name Raypaw, as his black fur can only remind her of her mate.
- Fishshadow and Abalonelilac are lost in a flood, that promptly is followed by a blizzard. Divefade, ever the brave cat, goes looking for then alone.
- Breezethistle finds them not far from camp, having turned back. They're frozen, not breathing, Breezethistle weeps.

Moon 108
- Couragecreek dies from water in his lungs. Wavestar doesn't know how to tell his kits.
- Spongeburr, Pearlyswirl, Swantalon, and Gentleripple seem overtaken by grief.
- Kelpdrop seems antsy. He doesn't know how to approach his mate, she's dealing with the clans grief. So maybe, unceremoniously, at the end of a clan meeting, he blurts out he's expecting kits. Wavestar is overjoyed
- Fogpaw is named Fogbuzz, Caakirimist is so so proud to have trained the cat.
- After so many moons away, Arielecho is finally found. He embraces his ex mate, Algaewish, and their romance is rekindled. He'll have to learn to share with Algaewish's other mates.
- Beaverleaf is overcome with his feelings for Arielecho, but the overwhelmed cat rejects him.
- Barnaclestripe and Mistyash become mates.
- Toadspore fights a dog and gets a mangled leg.
- Splashskitter is too excited to meet an apprentice from Wormclan, Arielecho thinks. Splash sticks close to the tom, vouching for him to her mother that he's gonna be a great warrior. Oatpaw is renamed Egretpaw, he and Splashskitter chatter excitedly.
- An old shecat is saved from twolegs. She says her name is Playstationwisp. Breezethistle doesn't know if she'll survive her injuries due to her age.
- Breezethistle considers her own age and lays in the medicine den numbly for the rest of the day. Tunastripe pats her with her tail
- A kit is brought to camp named Shellkit.
- A kittypet joins the clan named Tiny. He is small, Wavestar thinks, but he's good at swimming and hunting and Wavestar gives him the warrior name Tinygull for his speed.

TAMAWEB
Mozelodia yearns for teddy! She finds something fascinating about it.
 
We water the garden.

She's hungry.... me too.

After dinner, she has a bath.

She craves a taco! I promptly slam-dunk one onto her plate.
 
Naptime.

She immediately wants the fox plush. They seem to be friends.
 
We harvest the garden and plant more seeds.
 
We cook some Sky Bread and Onigiri.
 
We invite our friend to hang out.
 
Papa Mozellechi comes by to jump about happily.
 
Sleep well, Mozelodia!

We use the toilet and have a bath.
 
Then we check on the crops to make sure they are watered.

Mozelodia wants to use the microphone! I bust it out and she jams out... very loudly.
 
We go to the park to burn off some excess energy. New friends!
 
She wants to play with the ball. Aren't you worn out yet? Here.
 
It's time for a birthday party! Papa and some friends come by.

Mozelodia is now... an orange Daruma doll? She seems happy with her new form, despite the lack of arms.
 
She checks on the garden.

We head to Hubchi to see who's around.

We make some new friends!
 
 
This fella looks a little odd..... I've never seen a Tama that looks like this.
   
We head home and peruse social media. Mozelodia posts about her new job!
   
We bring out the Grimoire. It flies away again.

We invite Yaya and give them a magazine. They seem to like it!
 
She uses her phone. 

...Who are you talking to, that you're blushing like that? Do you have a crush on someone? It's a secret. Okay, sure.

I'll find out in time anyways.

We use the skateboard at its built-in skate park. It's a nice evening.
 
An evergreen challenge.... the dumbell.

Mozelodia does not seem amused. She does not have arms with which to attempt this.

Sleep time!

She wakes, wanting her friend so bad she starts spinning on her head.

They come over.
 
We check on the garden. The backyard animals are being very affectionate.

The mailman comes to deliver mail! It's another encouraging message.

I bust out the music player for Mozelodi, curious. She jams out.
 
The garden is dehydrated! Quick! Get the watering can!

There we go. Mozelodia spins on her head, pleased.

We harvest all the flowers and plant new seeds.

Our backyard is bursting with little friends now! We have: Zaneta the black cat, Marijo and Merill the gray dogs, Sunshine and Andreana the green aliens, Julietta the gray and white tabby, Valerian the brown tabby, and Karedio the white cat. Their stacked buffs mean that our garden shouldn't die anymore, unless we forget to check on it for like 16 hours.

Naptime.

The Grimoire flies away again.
 
Social media has some new posts! Mozelodia adds her own.
  
We head to Hubchi to meet some people.
  
 
 
I have a gut feeling. We go to the doctor.
  
Mozelodia is VERY sick! Oh no!

We go home and I immediately bring out the medicine.

She wants to go to the Game Center now. But she also has to use the toilet. One thing at a time, mija.

 
Now we can go! We play the Rod Rush game.

We head home and play with the microphone.
 
Then read a magazine. This one is full of pretty girls in swimsuits. Mozelodia is thinking quietly.
 
Time for a birthday!! 

Oh! Mozelodia has become some sort of pink butterfly fairy!
 
We check on the garden. Mozelodia runs around while watering the garden.
 
We check to make sure the backyard animals still have food.

Oh, are you now?

Well then, I have just the thing.

Tadah! Mozelodia has a crown now. Also, her own Secretary, and a giant fork.

We run around the park with a sharp and pointy object.

Mozelodia revels in her own cuteness.


TAMAGOTCHI
The Matchmaker has begun to come by. Death permits her to bring a possible match. ...ehhh.... no thanks.

Death plays with her RC car. She's getting good at it!
 
We have this ticket we bought a week or so ago. Now that she's an adult, let's try it.

She got souvenir #11 Palm Tree. Cool.

She draws a picture for me. I wasn't able to catch the final panel. The pencil is used up.

Death enjoys the balloon immensely!

She has some practice to do with the ball, though.
 
She tries on her cap. Very stylish.

Death uses the darts. They're all gone afterwards.

The Matchmaker comes by again. Hmmm, tempting, but no thank you.

Aisling clan, Year 1 - Part 1
Prologue
Umbreclan is falling, Shydust has warned them. A party of Melonflop, Ibisglare, Shydust, Ratfur and her kit, Burntpaw, Bluebellpaw and Moonpaw form. The apprentices are nervous but eager to leave, not wanting to fall for a clan that only ever mistreated them. Moonpaw is terrified but gods on regardless while Bluebellpaw has conflicting thoughts on their betrayals of Umbreclan. Burntpaw knows he has to be strong for his peers and doesn't express his distress… Keeps it buried so they can rely on him for strength.

 The party sets out, leaving their old clan behind. They think it'll take a whole moon of travel for them to find their new camp… Ratfur is scared for her kit but she can't go back now. They travel all day, hunt at dusk and sleep during the night, starting all over again in the morning. Shydust tries to reassure them all that Starclan is guiding them.

 During the journey Melonflop swears he hears the mewling of a scared kit, he follows the sound and scent until he comes across a tiny cream kitten. He looks to be three moons old and he's hissing wildly at Melonflop. The other cats meows are heard on the wind, calling for Melonflop’s return but he howls back at them to give him a minute. Calmly he asks the kit where his mother was? Promising he won't hurt him. The kit says his mother told him to hide when scary twolegs were coming… The he heard her screaming and she hasn't come to find him.

 Melonflop's heart sinks, asking how long it'd been. The kit says it's been a few days and he's so hungry. Melonflop's fears are confirmed, his mother was either killed or taken by the twolegs… And he couldn't leave the kit alone here to starve. He asks the kit if he'd like some food? He and his clanmates could hunt for him. The kit is nervous to leave his hiding spot but agrees… And is soon convinced to accompany the party of cats to the new clan… Melonflop and the kit bond closely, becoming father and son but Orchidkit will always have a little resentment for Melonflop for what he feels was making him abandon his mother.

 Later during the journey the party comes across a loner, she doesn't seem aggressive but the cats are still cautious. She introduces herself as Lindenminnow and asks what such a group of clan cats is doing out here? Melonflop steps forward and explains they are Umbreclan cats fleeing from disaster, they're going to form a new clan in a new territory. Lindenminnow nods, saying she hopes they can find it and then offers to help hunt with them as they looked unfed.

 They reluctantly agree. Melonflop and Ibisglare go with Lindenminnow to hunt, asking more about Lindenminnow’s life, curious about her clan name. She admitted she was once part of a clan, from the same territory they were from. Her clan had been bullied by Umbreclan for as long as she’d been a part of it, stealing prey, attacking cats and even killing them and one moon while out on patrol an Umbreclan apprentice took to mocking her and her clan and she reacted in anger, striking him down… She later found out he died from his wounds and she was exiled for it… She regrets her crime but there is nothing she can do anymore.

Ibisglare and Melonflop agree that what she did was wrong but they were once part of Umbreclan and they’ve seen how cruel it can be, they don’t blame her. Melonflop offers for her to join them, accompany them to the new territory and help with their new clan. Lindenminnow is surprised by their kindness and considers it for a moment before agreeing. Promising that her angry days are over.

Lindenminnow proves to be very valuable to the party, helping navigate over rivers and streams and carrying the kits across with her good swimming ability, this makes Ratfur appreciate her immensely.

 As they approach the new territory Shydust, Ibisglare, Ratfur and Lindenminnow discuss who should lead their new clan and all agree that Melonflop should be the one, he’s the one keeping the party together… And when he was part of Umbreclan all he ever did was try to be helpful, try to prove himself worthy to his clan even when they pushed him to the side. Ibisglare is less agreeable about this but ultimately sides with them but puts herself down as deputy, saying they’ll need a senior warrior in a position of power. No one can deny this and they agree. Later informing Melonflop who is startled but accepting, promising to make sure they don’t regret this.

Moon 0 
The clan arrives at the ruins, the territory of a clan long gone. This is the spot, Shydust declares and all the cats let themselves relax, finally able to rest after a moon long journey. That night Melonflop dreams, finding himself in the blue grassy fields of Starclan, everything looks… Empty, except for one cat who stands before him. He introduces himself as Redquill, telling him he’s come to grant Melonflop his nine lives… He presses his nose to Melonflop, giving him the gift of strength to overcome his fears. All at once faded starry cats appear infront of Melonflop, distant ancestors he assume, they all at once flood him with the rest of his lives. They chant his new name, Melonstar. He awakes suddenly, the sun seems… Warmer somehow.

His first command as a leader is to announce the apprentice’s new mentors, acknowledging the struggles they must have had in Umbreclan, promising them all that their new mentors would be the ones they deserve. Bluebellpaw bristles with pride as she’s announced to be Melonstar’s very own apprentice. Moonpaw shrinks, fearful as it is given to the apprentice killer Lindenminnow and Burntpaw is silent with worry being given to Ratfur, only remembering the intense violence of his previous mentor… Not wanting a repeat of those days.

 Ibisglare wonders what Shydust is up to, going to visit her in the medicine cat den. The old medicine cat is gathering a few flowers, nothing important. Shydust explains that they need to determine where they’ll burry their fallen clanmates, Ibisglare says it’s too soon to be thinking about such a thing but Shydust says she’s old… Soon she’ll pass on to the silverpelt, she does say she wants to take an apprentice before this happens but they at least should be prepared. Ibisglare reluctantly agrees. The two leave the camp together, establishing the burial grounds and even designating a memorial for the guide who brought them here, Redquill.

 Lindenminnow doesn’t get much sleep that night, struggling with being in a new clan… Having nightmares about the awful act that led her to be exiled originally, the dream warping, seeing the faces of her new clanmates glaring at her, growling and demanding for her to be kicked out. She wakes up with a start, it’s still night but she can’t let herself go back to bed.

 In the new clan Bluebellpaw found herself annoyed with Burntpaw, his hesitency towards his training and his willingness to leave Umbreclan... She considered him a traitor. Forgetting her own betrayal of Umbreclan. Burntpaw sees her scowling at him from the clearing and thinks about his life choices, remembering when he and Bluebellpaw were forced to fight each other as kits and than as apprentices by Umbreclan, he wonders if he had done anything different than maybe things would have been better.

 Zapkit asks her mother if they'd ever be returning to the old clan... Ratfur said no, that life is behind them now, Zapkit accepts her mother’s words, she doesn’t even remember her own father, only ever having seen him briefly. Ratfur notices Orchidkit looks worried about something and asks him what’s wrong, Orchidkit admits he’s worried to ask Shydust for help, he’s been sniffly since arriving at the new clan. Ratfur accompanies him to the medicine cat den and Shydust says it’s nothing major, just a little sniffly nose from the season changing to newleaf, Orchidkit is comforted.

Moon 1
At the start of the moon Zapkit was given an apprentice ceremony, assigning Ibisglare to mentor her. This excited Zappaw but she made a fool of herself on her first patrol, at least that’s what she thinks, being startled by a simple Kea bird, Ibisglare rolled her eyes at her as well unamused. Upon returning to the clan Zappaw tries to tell Orchidkit about her adventure and even tries to roleplay it with Orchidkit who just snaps at her to leave him alone, she doesn’t need him now that she’s an apprentice. Zappaw is taken aback saying no! She still wants to be friends with Orchidkit, admitting that she actually got scared by a dumb bird today… She’s still a bit of a silly kit, Orchidkit giggles and lightens up at that and the two play for the rest of the day.

 Burntpaw was given a warrior ceremony, named Burntdream and honored for his intelligence, Shydust had conferred with Melonstar to name Burntdream after the vision that led them to Aislingclan having seen how far he had come in the little time between now and Umbreclan. Burntdream spends time with Shydust, assisting her on herb runs as he detests violence, the two work so hard they make themselves sore.

On a patrol with her apprentice Lindenminnow finds an injured loner and tries to get them back to the clan for healing, unfortunetly the loner dies, the event shakes Lindenminnow and Moonpaw both. Though Moonpaw gets a new perspective on Lindenminnow after the fact, gaining some respect for her.
 
Melonstar while on patrol gets his foot trapped in a twoleg trap leading to severe injury, his faith in himself is tested but he spends his time soaking in the sunlight rays, trying to take in as much comfort as he can to soothe his painful injury. He hopes his clan will not see less of him. Ibisglare visits Melonstar in the medicine cat den, trying to support her leader even if she was a little disappointed he got injured so soon after their arrival at the clan. Melonstar invites her to soak in the sun with him and the two talk, Ibisglare and Melonstar both find themselves moving closer and closer to each other… Their tails curling up together subconsciously.

Shydust finds herself forming a crush on her deputy, seeing her gentle care of their leader when she’s in the medicine den. Shydust takes Bluebellpaw out on patrol to find herbs, the young apprentice has no idea what she’s doing and Shydust struggles to help her, the two instead turn to gossiping, Shydust amusedly chattering like a young cat while Bluebellpaw intrerjects with “I know” and “Oh my stars”. It’s sweet.

Bluebellpaw finds herself starting to dislike Lindenminnow, jealous and defensive as she brings back more prey than her and even viewing her attempt to save a loner as a way to try and one
her up before she can even become a warrior. Bluebellpaw later chases Burntdream down and asks him about warrior life, bombarding him with questions which Burntdream tries to answer the best he can, admitting that he’s maybe been working a little too hard.

Melonstar makes an announcement, saying that for now the clan should listen to what Ibisglare has to say, as he’s too injured to properly lead right now but he’s still hear to listen to any complaints or suggestions. Moonpaw listens closely while Zappaw has some complaints in mind, mainly to rid the territory of kea birds but she keeps it to herself.

Moon 2
At the start of the moon Orchidpaw is made Ratfur’s apprentice, the young cat is excited to start his journey to warrior life. Ratfur is surprised to be given a new apprentice so soon after her last one graduated but says nothing, appreciating Melonstar’s trust in her. Bluebellpaw gives some advice to Orchidpaw, having been an apprentice for a few moons now, telling him to just make sure he does his best and listens to everything Ratfur has to say, Orchidpaw respects Bluebellpaw’s opinion and nods along.

Shydust shares tongues with Lindenminnow, the two talking about their pasts in their old clans. Shydust still doesn’t approve of what Lindenminnow had done in her past life but feels more comfortable with the she-cat, seeing how she’s trying to better herself these days. Moonpaw later asks Shydust if she really trusts Lindenminnow, still having lingering fear about its mentor, Shydust tries to reassure Moonpaw that Lindenminnow is repenting for what she’d done and that Moonpaw isn’t in any danger. Shydust later witnesses Lindenminnow snapping at Moonpaw for its cowering around her, frustrated that no matter how she tries she cannot seem to comfort Moonpaw’s fears, Shydust feels Lindenminnow is acting too harshly.

Melonstar who is still recovering in the medicine cat den lounges in the sunlight peaking into the den, Shydust who’s old age brings her many aches stares longingly and Melonstar offers her a turn in the sun, moving over so she can cuddle up next to him and warm up. Shydust appreciates it.

The next morning Shydust can’t find Melonstar, she panics and quickly runs into the clearing and sees the injured cat limping around coaching Lindenminnow, Ibisglare, Zappaw and Moonpaw on stretches, they seem very displeased about being woken up for this. Shydust is highly amused but soon interrupts to take Melonstar back to the den, Melonstar shouting over her shoulder to the other cats to keep it up. As soon as he’s out of sight they quickly go back to bed.

Bluebellpaw is somewhat fed up with her mentor being in the medicine den and comes to him asking about training she could do on her own in his absence, Melonstar gives her a few pointers but asks her to keep going out with the other mentors while he’s recovering if she can. Bluebellpaw is unsatisfied with this, asking more questions which soon change into her asking him about his leadership duties, how he intends to run the clan while injured. Melonstar says he trusts Ibisglare to keep things going while he recovers, saying she comes to him here and he gives her his perspective but ultimately it’s up to her right now. Bluebellpaw leaves it there.

 While in the clearing Burntdream notices Bluebellpaw looks heavy in thought, he approaches her and asks her what’s on her mind. She snaps at him, asking him why he cares? Isn’t he a warrior now? Doesn’t he have better things to do now that he’s so important and busy? Burntdream backs down, upset by the outburst… Bluebellpaw is annoyed, half-apologising, saying she’s just… Annoyed, right now and to leave her alone. Burntdream sighs and does so, still hurt.

 Orchidpaw can tell Moonpaw is worried about him but he knows Moonpaw worries about absolutely everything so he shrugs it off and goes on patrol with his mentor, while on patrol the two approach the border and are startled to find a Delugeclan apprentice huddled in some bushes, trembling. He begs them to let him join their clan. Orchidpaw looks to his mentor who agrees and takes the terrified kit to Melonstar in the medicine cat den. Melonstar hears out the frightened apprentice, he introduced himself as Micapaw and says he’s fleeing from his clan because his mentor is a cruel teacher who pushes his apprentices to injury or death, he tried to plead with his leader to give him to someone else but was refused, he could only think to try and come here.

Melonstar looks at Ibisglare who seems worried but they both agree to take the apprentice in. Melonstar gives him to Burntdream which upsets Micapaw but he doesn’t say anything. Their patrols together don’t go so well, Micapaw is upset about training to be a warrior and Burntdream is doubting himself so when Micapaw asks him to ask Melonstar to let him be a medicine cat apprentice Burntdream reluctantly agrees. Melonstar is disappointed the two didn’t bond but places Micapaw with Shydust anyway. Micapaw is relieved…

Moon 3
Micapaw sneaks out of camp, going back to the Delugeclan border and meeting an apprentice he was friends with, telling them about how he’d been allowed to train to become a medicine cat. He keeps this meeting hidden from his clan mates. When he arrives home he’s quickly swept up by Shydust to go find herbs together. While out in the forest Shydust asks Micapaw to find some tansy for the den, Micapaw struggles to identify tansy, not wanting to poision anyone he comes back empty handed. Shydust is annoyed that she’s been given a cat with no experience at all with herbs… But keeps her mouth shut.

While on patrol Melonstar sents something on the border between Delugeclan and Aislingclan but can’t identify what it is, he returns to the camp to report it. This makes Micapaw extremely nervous but he doesn’t speak up at all, keeping his secret close to his chest.

Melonstar and Burntdream debate Micapaw’s apprenticeship to Shydust, Burntdream arguing that neither Micapaw or Shydust seem to be benefiting. Melonstar points out that Micapaw was never going to be happy being a warrior, especially given his past… Which is something Burntdream surely can relate to. Burntdream pauses in thought and then nods in agreement, saying he might have ultimately chosen to become a warrior he can understand why Micapaw wouldn’t want to be, relating to the apprentice.

 Shydust watches over her clan from the medicine cat den, noticing that Micapaw and Lindenminnow are sitting very far away from each other, Micapaw looking over his shoulder nervously at Lindenminnow… Shydust sighs, it’s probably because he’d heard Lindenminnow’s crime from one of the other cats, Lindenminnow just seems uncomfortable and upset. She listens in as Burntdream and Bluebellpaw have a chat. The two are warming up to each other now and Shydust assumes it must be because they finally feel secure in their new life here… 

 Shydust watches as Melonstar limps past Lindenminnow, not saying anything to comfort her clear worry. She’s annoyed that he’s given in to everything Micapaw has asked thus far, thinking they were too quick to accept another clan’s kit into their ranks… Especially one so troubled as Micapaw… Melonstar stops next to Moonpaw, sniffing at the air, then Shydust overhears him asking Moonpaw what he would do if there was a predator in the territory, Moonpaw is worried asking if there is one? Melonstar quickly says it’s just a hypothetical, Moonpaw feels little relief, saying well… He’d probably get a patrol to lead the predator away? Shydust can sense conflict in Moonpaw’s words. Melonstar nods, the two continue talking about this for some time, slowly devolving into some elaborate scheme to chase a predator that doesn’t even exist. At least… Shydust hopes it doesn’t.

Shydust turns her gaze to Bluebellpaw who is walking through the clearing, looking for someone. Shydust has faith in Bluebellpaw, seeing her potential as a warrior and hoping she’ll be made into one soon. She also notes how seriously Bluebellpaw takes the act of grooming herself, thankful that at least one cat knows how important keeping clean is.

 Elsewhere Zappaw it outside the territory, speaking with a loner. The two have a pleasant chat with each other.
 Ibisglare watches Lindenminnow training by herself, pushing herself to be a strong member of the clan, Ibisglare is impressed at Lindenminnow’s dedication to them… Thinking she’s come far from the exiled loner they first encountered. Later Ibisglare is the first one to praise Lindenminnow and Moonpaw when they come back on another very successful hunting trip.

Behind the scenes

Hey everyone, sorry it took me so long to get into Creaturefest properly, I attempted to run a Rimworld colony but got burnt out and anxious about it super quickly but then I started rewatching Galaxyclan on Youtube and thought, well hey, I could do that. And I was a little inspired by Ace's clangen playthrough too, shout out Wavestar I am so sorry that shit is happening to you girl.

Anyway, onto the clan itself. Melonstar and Burntdream are honestly top faves for me right now but I love this little family sooo much.
Here's a lil line up of the faces in the clan as of Moon 3!



And here's some art that was drawn by both me and Venusiansocket (My wife, Erin)

Melonstar and Ibisglare, I won't lie I ship them a LOT. They're so cute and I really hope the two can have kits someday.
Also when Melonstar first generated he was BRIGHT STINKIN' YELLOW!!! Which threw me through a loop- So I maybe uh... Edited that haha.


Burntdream!!! Drawn by my wife. He is SUCH a good boy, I'll spoil this much, He is ALWAYS trying to help cats out it's so sweet.
Honestly he was almost a medicine cat apprentice but I decided against it and the game made no indication that he'd wanna be.


Ratfur my beloved, she's honestly kind of useless with apprentices... I won't go into it much but I think Starclan has a different role in mind for her :3c


MY FAVOURITE OLD LADY!!!!, Shydust. A lot of the younger cats in the clan have some kind of dislike towards her but honestly given the fact the game generated her to be really tall and really strong I just think they're intimidated. She's really just a sweet old woman, if a little grouchy.


Last but not least, Redquill, the Starclan guide. He honestly doesn't have much going on with him because he always has the exact same status about guiding cats to Starclan but I do think he keeps a close watch over the clan.

That's all for now, gonna work on writing up the rest of the year and then I get to play again yay, wish me and Aislingclan luck!
I really hope my babies don't die : (c

- Brinestripe asks if that is maybe not the best use of apprentices, which gets an eyebrow raised by Wavestar. But... well... She has an odd reaction, and gives him Cloudpaw to apprentice. Cloudpaw is cold and hyper, Brinestripe is quickly overwhelmed.
- He asks Wavestar what the deal is, and she teaches him that the young cats of the clan need lessons in treating others with kindness, just as much as they need lessons in hunting and fighting.
- Cloudpaw actually seems to enjoy talking to the elders, Brinestripe doesn't understand kits.

THE REST

Okay so I have to talk but Im gonna start with... six pages of clan cats



Soooo Brinestripe

43 moons, I feel like hes got a good shot at being the next leader if he doesn't die. He is... safe. His personality is strict. He really hasn't done much else. So I am... making him a personality. HIS PERSONALITY CHANGED. It wasss strict. Okay so hes learning. I forgot that they did that
When Wavestar does pass I'm gonna run the clan differently, for drama. So I'm kinda trying to find a reason. He's not evil hes just gotta be different. If he was blood thirsty he would be evil. 
Honestly it would be great if Wavestar just hung around for 100 more moons, would be so funny. 

I'm so sad about Crabgrass though, my boiiii. 


And the dark forest

Hi Rippledeath.
I think when Breezethistle dies I'm gonna let her free Riverkit. I have two murderers in cat hell now. yayyyy

Also when Wavestar dies, she's got "dream walker" as an ability so like.... She's visiting people
