Ok first custom role I’ve thought up

Tidekeeper- In the clan, there will only ever be two of these cats, the actual Tidekeeper and their apprentice(like canon med cats Tidekeepers aren’t considered to fully graduate until they’re mentor dies/retires). These cats have a small but vital role in the clan, they keep track of the tides and currents. While all Saltclan cats inevitably learn the vague time the tides change, Tidekeepers know it to the second, more or less, and their role is to let out a warning when the tide changes. This is important because of a cat is unprepared, a changing tide could cause them serious damage or even death. Low to High tide has the danger of the waves slamming into them, which would be very bad on a cats small frame, while High to Low tide could cause a cat to get swept out to the ocean and drown. These cats also keep track of currents and make sure the clan is informed of where the currents are, and if they change, so they can be avoided. Finally, they lead lessons on what to do if you get caught in a ocean based emergency, such as being caught unprepared by a changing tide and either getting hit by a wave or getting swept out to the ocean, and how to maximize survival chances if you get caught in a current. These cats are HIGHLY respected, being seen as less than the high ranks, but higher ranked than most other clan members. To become a Tidekeeper apprentice you must show excellent memory skills, a calm nature(to not get panicked if something goes wrong) and above average swimming skills

Hope you enjoy this!

Oh I fuck with this role!

What’s crazy is there’s at least two possibly 3 fuck maybe even 4 cats that we haven’t met yet that would be AMAZING for this role

I could also see Shadow doing this, but we know he loves to wander so maybe not. Maybe one of the first bloom litter???? Lots of possibilities

I also love the prestige you added to this! It’s a lonesome, thankless job, you’re practically on guard most of the day to keep everyone safe.

If this were a role that developed long after our founders are gone I could see this being a job that was originally done by rotating historians, but no one consistent and constant. Then one historian loses a loved one and dedicated their life to preventing this from happening again. And towards the end of their life Starclan guides another kit into the role to apprentice and take out. Kinda like Skywatcher in canon vibes.

I would absolutely refer to whoever is in this role as a lifeguard ngl

also did you say first? as in you got more for me?

"you can't just pull that out without telling me!"

I didn't know you could do that || Accepting!

Vithren rolled their eyes. The two thugs who thought they’d gotten lucky and scored a double mugging were currently halfway down the alley in a soggy heap. The source of the blast of water? Vithren manipulating the water in the fire hydrant behind them and Margaret. Another motion of their hand had shut the water off again, which was where the woman’s comment had come in.

“If I’d told you, they would have known about it,” they said, folding their arms. “You could always say “thank you for saving me the trouble of an unexpected fight, Tidekeeper, that was nice of you”.”

2. Do you plan each chapter ahead or write as you go?

Hmm.... Little of both, really? Like with Bailey's stories, I have a rough idea of where I want the story to go, and most of a notion about how to knit the story that bridges the scenes I want. I don't know how many chapters it will take, but I know the basic story beats I want to hit. With Tidekeepers -- which I am hoping to start reboot work for within the next few months, cross your fingers -- it was all much more freeform. I had three big arcs conceptualized, and was going to let the story happen as it happened, within that framework.

I guess the easiest metaphor is training vines to grow up a trellis. I don't know how the flowers will branch and tangle over the wood, but I can coax them up a frame, and weave unexpected bits back into the larger mass

Fate, Soul, Space from the ask game!

18. FATE - Have you always wanted to be a writer?

I don't think so, but to be fair I don't remember much of all the things I wanted to be while I was growing up lol I've wanted to do many many things. Main theme is I've always wanted to tell and share stories -- went through 2D animation, comics, illustration and writing interchangeably until I settled back on writing in a more final way. :D

42. SOUL - What is your favourite WIP?

Going for the hardest questions here are ya LOL ummm i mean i'm partial to my original novel, but i have this visual novel about gays and vampires in a canadian college town im pretty obsessed with rn hehe so it's either, by title, Song of the Tidekeeper(fantasy new adult novel), or Vampire Beach Club(just...gay vampires and college shenanigans). Trying very hard to keep this answer short but all i want is to babble about my characters lol

43. SPACE - Do you prefer Sci-Fi or Fantasy?

i've always had a better understanding of fantasy when i write. it's more fun to me to imagine different rules and different ways to do magic. but i've also dabbled in scifi and similar things(like superhero stuff)for fun! i'm more comfortable in fantasy, but i always like to try new things and i mix it up once in a while. sci fi often involves maths and i don't like that but somehow i end up needing to do math research in my fantasy work anyway hahaha

thank you so much for the questions!! :D

The ARPG is called Realm of Serpents, and it's run by J-Haskell (their tumblr is hirundine). The character here's name is Etzli Makkoia (iirc), and they're not Finnish, they're Padwellan, a fantasy counterpart culture that has some Finnish aspects. Padwell is divided into two culutrally distinct regions, the lowland swamps and High Heart, a mountainous region which has it's own government and distinct culture, though the two nations are closely tied and act together on the global stage. Lowland Padwell (Where Etzli is from) is a unique mix of cultural traits, mostly from South America and Mesoamerica, while High Heart has a lot of Andean influences, but also a lot of Finnish ones, particularly in the language (place-names such as Sähkötuuli and Laulaalunta, cultural terms like the names of the Perhe and the Vuorikuningatar Nousu, person-names which are usually related to weather, mountains, or birds, etc). Some characters from High Heart include Kieunta "Zoom" Varislalu, Starling Rupikonna, and Rey Ukonilma (Biracial, Xocrian-High Heart). As a culture, High Heart's big claim to fame is that they're the only people to successfully domesticate griffons (including a breed that is only to be found in captivity with them, the Vaudikas griffon) - everyone else has got to raise theirs from the eggs or tame as adults, which is notoriously difficult.

Padwell - Realm of Serpents (weebly.com) Here's a link to their lore pages (also includes links to Lowland Padwell's pages and to the rest of the site- based on your interests, I'd advise checking out the Shipwrecker and Tidekeeper dragons, as well as some of the seagoing critters in the Bestiary!)

Glad to pique your interest!

Sorry it’s been a fat minute since I have posted on here. Just kind of trying to keep up with my actual life and staying semi-offline. Also have not been as satisfied with my artwork as of late. It’s not terrible I just feel like I could have a bit more fun

tidekeeper replied to your post: you cant jus say 'THIS IS BULLSHIT FEARMONGERING...

ngl I was one of the people who panic-reblogged when that article was first circulating, but I should’ve done research first; there’s some unfortunate things to the article, sure, but nowhere near the DOOMSDAY SCENARIO that was originally touted, thankfully

I think everyone does that sometimes. I do it sometimes too, but we all have to make an effort to stop and think for a moment when somebody puts up a complete doomsday scenario like this and ideally correct ourselves if we initially misunderstood something.

And when I say “RAAHH THIS MAKES ME ANGRY” I don’t mean I hate every person who has ever reblogged that post, I mean that it makes me angry that it is allowed to spread misinformation and panic to several thousand people without anyone questioning it right away, because the op clearly hasn’t researched the topic enough to even understand basic copyright law or that basic copyright law is not what will possibly be changed with this article.

Yeah, I don’t think hairclips usually do that, huh

I’m an admin for an arpg on deviant art/discord called Realm of Serpents and this is some asset art for it! I’ve been doing a lot lately and having a ton of fun

This is a sea serpent, a non-playable creature from our bestiary.

Sea Serpent: Massive, snake-like creatures with immense ivory tusks and webbed fins. While normally only a danger to human ships, the larger sea-serpents (referred to as Great Serpents by Tidekeepers) may even threaten dragons. Tidekeepers hunt them for their tusks; despite this, their population only seems to grow, as each serpent can spawn hundreds of eggs at a time. (Description by J-Haskell on deviantart/hirundine on tumblr)

[Image ID: an illustration of a sea serpent coiled over itself a few times. It is snake-like, with no limbs and covered in small, slightly shiny scales. It has webbed fins running along its spine from the back of its head to just beyond the tip of its tail, which also line the underside of just the tail. Its mouth is half-open, showing off a row of sharp curved teeth at the back of its jaw, and several much larger forward-pointing teeth sticking out of the front of its mouth. The bottom middle two are more like tusks, being much larger than the rest. The sea serpent is mostly dark blue and green, with a white belly. Its white belly is bordered by bright red, which fans out in little stripes off of the main stripe. The serpents back is covered in dull gold marking that match its eye color. These markings are squiggles that twist around each other and form strange patterns that almost look like writing. End ID]
