Ok so that Inktober thing... yeah I think I have commitment issues. Sorry guys 😞

On the other hand, now the marching band season is over (literally in tears rn) I have time to actually do things. At least I hope. oh jeez this is gonna be some horrible foreshadowing isn't it?

ANYWAYS while my creative spell lasts, I have been working on that previously mentioned fanfic and just felt like getting a visual reference to one of my characters, Queen Lightpool of the Icewings :D (She's actually barely relevant to the plot but I want to draw my warrior queen so-)

Hopefully I can get the first chapter out sometime soon and I don't overthink it too much, so please, bear with me until then 🐻

BEECHPAW

"And I felt like a child in a world full of men, trying to capture that something again."

He/him | Fire Colony Apprentice | 8 moons

Apprentice to Barkclaw.

FAMILY Lionsplash & Lightpool (parents) Doepaw (sister)

Both Beechpaw and his sister have grown up in the shadow of their supposedly perfect parents. As children of the “intended” Fire Colony heir Lionsplash and beloved, respected Lightpool, high expectations have been placed upon them by the Colony. They respond to this in different ways.

Beechpaw tends to act out, rarely conforming to what is expected of him. He is devoted to his loved ones (and certainly vocal about it), but often ends up being overly-dependent on them due to his need for constant stimulation. Because he resents the intense expectations the colony places on him, he often seeks out negative attention.

He has boundless energy and optimistic, always meeting new faces with and open mind and heart. He's rarely in the present moment, making disastrously impulsive decisions and barely being able to sit still for more than a few seconds. He also has a difficult time taking things seriously, and discussing his own issues at length makes him very uncomfortable.

Although Beechpaw takes them in stride, the Colony's expectations weigh heavy on him. He loves his friends, family, and the world around him, but he can't help but long for something different -- a place where he can prove he is not just an extension of his parents... Well, maybe he can find that change in outcast Shadowpaw, who he's determined to befriend!

I'm sorry that I accidentally called Beechleaf "Birchleaf", but does Beechleaf have any family? Also does he have anything he likes doing or collecting?

(Still want to give him a pat atop his head, by the way.)

no worries mate

he does! his parents, lionsplash and lightpool, as some of the most respected cats in fire colony. lionsplash was intended to be the next leader (fire colony have a nepotistic system), but his mother selected her apprentice as deputy instead (leading to A Lot of contention within the colony)

anyway. thats a roundabout way of saying beech has a lot of pressure on him to succeed + do well like his parents -- and possibly even become leader one day, taking back the "crown." he does not want to do any of these things, at all, so to cope with this pressure he acts out a lot. he likes to play pranks on his colony-mates, and wants to explore the world. he loves climbing, swimming and trying new things

he is reasonably close with his parents! and they clearly love him a lot! but to some degree they don't really understand him. beech also his a sister, doesplash, who responds to the pressure pretty much the exact opposite way -- she's very anxious and self-conscious. they are close and help each other out :)

191213 sora tob sakana

雑な日記帳、略して雑記帳なんだよな。

Tumblrによる進捗報告を流行らせたところ、私が〆切を破り、皆さんはちゃんと〆切を守るという事態が発生したため、無事合わせる顔がなくなり、Tumblr封印の儀が執り行われた……。

根本的な理由はそこではないのだけど、本が出る前に反省してもマジで仕方がないので、己の中だけに刻みつけておき、軽率に日記習慣を再開します。

火曜日、sora tob sakanaさんのライブに行きました。

本当であれば、スタァライトのディレイビューイングに行くつもりだったのだけど、仕事にやられて身動きが取れずにいたところ、既にチケットの先行発売が終了しており、ウゥゥゥゥゥ……ウゥゥゥゥゥ！何もうまくいかん！と岩盤浴で泣いていた。

そこに、ちょうどいいタイミングでさけとめ先生からお誘いのDMを頂戴したので、差し伸べられた手を受け取ったのだった……。

今年、何かに臨む前の『予習』に対して、個人的に思うところがあり、前日夜のお誘いということもあって、今回はほぼ一切の知識を入れずにライブに参加した。

知ってるのは、さけとめさんがよく山崎愛さんという方のブログをつぶやいているのと、ヨシダさんがビールプレイリストに『ささやかな祝祭』を入れていたことのみ。あと、ハイスコアガールの主題歌を歌われていたこと。

『ささやかな祝祭』『そらとぶさかな』という可愛いらしい言葉と、3人組の女性であるという、予習をしていない私の情報量の限界から、正直、なんかKalafinaに北欧音楽のテイストを混ぜてゆるくしたような感じを想像していた。

ハイスコアガールの主題歌言うてるやろと言う感じがあるが、むしろ向こうの方がイレギュラーな曲調と解釈していた。

開演直前に手持ちぶたさんになったので、文字だけで情報を入れたところ、まずアイドルだということ知った……。

そして、さけとめさんから山崎愛さんが不在で、本日は二人のライブであることを知らされる。一番情報量の大きかった山崎さんが……。

ライブを観たら、全然牧歌的な北欧の音楽を歌う3人組のゆるふわガールズではなかった。

あ、でもMCはそんな感じだったかもしれない。アイドルのMCって、基本的に自分を売り込んでナンボみたいなところがあるので、グイグイガツガツなことが多いように思うのだけど、山崎さん不在なのに、なんかMCにはめちゃくちゃ余裕があって、そもそもあまり言葉数が多くなく、肩の力が抜けていた。

にも関わらず、視覚と聴覚にと訴えてくるテクノサウンドで、バリバリに踊っている。本当におさかなか？？？？？(謎)

すごい良かったのが、歌詞がめちゃくちゃ街とか生活のことを歌っていて、二人の感情を抑えたような、それでいてまだ若さを残す声に、絶妙にマッチしていたことだった。

サウンドはエレクトロなのに、言葉はかなり地に足がついていて、何というか、最新の場所にいるのに“あの頃”を想起させるという、複雑で面白いバランス感覚が成立しているように感じた。

だからこそ、なんとなくVJで東京みたいな街が表現されてる曲が好きで『Lightpool』が一番お気に入りだった。

というかこの曲が1曲目に収録されている『alight ep』という一枚がどう考えても名盤なので、聴いた方が良いです。Twitterで調べたら2018年アイドル楽曲大賞アルバム部門1位と言ってるアカウントがあって「ほらな！」となった。

山崎さんがいないところを埋めるのではなく、不在のままぽっかり開けてやるという、ストロングスタイルなステージだった。

別に見せたくてやった訳ではないのだけど、不在の在というのが私は好きなので良かったです。

ライブに行って、生活テクノポップアイドルという認識に変わりました。

仕事中に聴いておるので、今後とも生活の中に混ぜこんでいこうと思います……。

LOST STARS NAME CHANGES

Shadowclan

Blazefire > Blazethroat

Of course we gotta change Blazefires name. He’s ginger and white and I’m thinking he’s got some ginger splotches near his chest/muzzle, thus giving him the name Blazethroat. Plus I just think it sounds cool.

Flowerstem > Flowernose

Really don’t have any problems with this name, just the fact that it was already used in Code of the Clans and for some reason the Erins just like to recycle names. Flowernose is a tribute to Pinenose.

Pouncestep > Pounceheart

The name is low key redundant so I’m gonna say that Tigerstar named her after himself, plus she’s a sweetie so it works.

Lightleap > Lightmist/Lightpool

ok I’m so conflicted which one to choose!! But idk why lightleap just doesn’t sound right to me. Lightmist is a beautiful name, however.....it would be cool if Lightpool was named after Ivypool, like if Dovewing insisted on it or something idk.

That’s it for Shadowclan! Even tho I said -stone isn’t a suffix, I’m gonna keep Strikestone. He named himself when he was with the Kin so it can stay as a reminder that he was once against the code/ his former clan leader.
