if you're stretching for shadowclan cats to use:

antpelt is mistakenly listed as from shadowclan in battles of the clans, and the wiki had him as a different character for a while. he also has an unnamed apprentice

shredtail is also mistakenly listed in shadowclan during bramblestar's storm

I am absolutely at the point where I'm willing to make absolutely ABSURD stretches. I'm affectionately calling all the extra cats I'm scrounging up from writer mistakes and background scenes "ShadowClan's Glitch Warriors." Thank you so much for pointing these three out, they're going in the list.

Suddenly, I was struck with an absolutely hilarious idea. Partner wanted something fun to draw but still has read absolutely nothing about Warriors, so I pitched;

"I will tell you nothing about these characters or who they are except their names. Draw a Shredtail, an Antpelt, and Antpelt's apprentice. TOTAL freedom over the designs here."

First they drew this lmao,

"This is a joke," they clarified

"NO I LOVE IT," I said, "KEEP GOING"

So we got Dollar Tree Shredtail, Great Value Antpelt, and the best thing I've ever seen in my life. Once they put these designs down, we talked personality and differentiators from the canon counterparts while they colored and refined them;

I loved the bushy gaster tail so much that I swore on the spot I was going to work it upwards into a whole bloodline, including the very obscure background warrior in AVOS, Wasptail. So even though they're mentor and apprentice in BOTC, I've decided these two will also be related. Probably siblings, or auncle/nespring.

The little black one is based off an Admiral Butterfly (it was my idea to make the little spots on their chest look like medals), so the name seems clear to me. Admiralpaw. Xey'll be meewa unless another gender works better; and I'm planning for xem to go out during a bloody battle against The Kin in true admiral style.

(funfact; admiral butterflies are extremely territorial. Males fight each other for control of a plant to attract females to.)

Warrior name is still undecided, though. Open to suggestions, leaning towards Admiralflight or Admiralflower.

Not-Antpelt I'm having name troubles with. I REALLY wanted to name them Majorheart, after a major ant, to keep the "military ranking + bug" pun that Addy's got... but it seems that none of the ants in this area would have a major caste. B'awww.

In the meanwhile, Antspot works fine. Alatefang or Dronepelt could work, too. Feel free to shout out suggestions, this guy's name and gender aren't set in stone.

Lastly, here's Diet Shreddy. Girl now <3

She is 100% going to be killed during The Battle of the True Eclipse, keeping consistent with the mistake in Bramblestar's Storm where Blackstar mournfully calls out the name of a Dark Forest warrior. I'm also undecided on if the actual Shredtail himself dies during that battle in BB, it might just be her.

In any case, she's probably going to be a TPB girl. If she's born during Brokenstar's time, she's one of the younger ShadowClan cats to take part in the WindClan Massacre. Might even be an early apprentice at the time, in a similar situation to Badgerfang (though in BB this was a one-time thing). If not during Brokenstar, then sometime during Nightstar's brief reign.

Right now she has no family, she's in my "reserves" at the side to use as a patch between generations. Her name is probably going to be either Tattertail or Shredclaw, given as an Honor Title after the Battle of BloodClan.

So she had a previous warrior name as well. She seems like the kind of troublemaker who would have the prefix Sike-- a small stream that dries up in summer. Sikestripe, if her name was given by Nightstar, or Sikestrike, if it was given by Tigerstar. Maybe it was one and then the other, in a sign of disrespect to his predecessor's lie.

#Then I lulled partner to sleep by streaming me working on the ShadowClan Family Tree #Small update for all concerned; Thank you for all the well wishes. They're doing ok #As OK as you can be in this situation. It comes and goes in waves.#We've been doing lots of nice stuff while hanging out all day. Soup. Video games. Stories. Rest.#They asked me for some nature prompts because plants are relaxing to draw #So I'm going to try making some guides specifically to their requests #But anyway--#I'm compiling lots of “glitch warriors” so I can mark down EXACTLY where they come from and their descriptions.#So far I've counted like 3 silver tabbies #This is extremely funny because there are TWO adult cats who could be called 'silver tabbies' alive during that time in TPB #Neither of them are actually silver tabbies (Boulder is solid gray and Archeye is a gray tabby).#And one of the 3 unnamed silver tabbies is a queen.#Btw I want to open up a like... 'Let's pick some names and personalities!' thing somehow for a lot of these Glitch Warriors #Because it sounds like fun and I like the spirit of collaboration with these guys #Plus I know some people really love the biome-accurate prefixes I can provide so this is a nice opportunity #Better Bones AU #bone babble #bug #ant #cw bug #ant cat

Okay gang, here's a silly little game. I've assembled six teams of blended Narnia and Tolkien/LotR characters. Here they are:

For bonus points, tell me in the tags where you're going on your road trip, who has what role (driving, snacks, aux) on the road, and what you'll stop off and see along the way

#this is shameless inspired by the lotr national parks poll #but the crossover potential is just too good #also for characters who wouldn't reasonably fit in said VW bus just handwave it #everyone basically fits okay?#narnia #pontifications and creations #ask me hard questions #tolkien legendarium #i myself am going with team 5 (to no one's shock)#we're gonna hit national parks across america #Bilbo and Treebeard can trade off as DJ #E��rendil gets to help drive and navigate #Lucy is in charge of snapping pics out the window #Reepicheep can lead us in some road trip games or something idk #i feel like this would be a really lovely group to just sit and stare at natural beauty in silence together #which is kinda my jam #occasionally pointing out something really especially lovely #would be fun #edit: as if I left put your fave character I'm sorry both these series have about a million so it was bound to happen #and for Narnia in particular I was trying to bias it towards Narnians rather than friends of narnia #also i was seriously tempted to do a 'team dragon' which would be all the tolkien dragons + eustace haha #polls

well have you considered that maybe the unstoppable force is in love with the immovable object

maybe the reason one refuses to stop and the other refuses to move is because they both long for the collision

#jun kazama #kazuya mishima #kazuya x jun #kazujun #kazjun #tekken #tekkenedit #my edit #my stuff #wowie this took me AGES!#here is that thing I've been working on for our beloved mother nature and daddy electric #I wanted to do something encompassing the bits we see of their relationship throughout the games!#it's extremely clear to me they love each other intensely and have for the past 22 years so my aim was to evoke that sense of scope #guess you could call this my kazjun manifesto in a way haha #the quotes; layout; trying to balance everything visually took some planning!#hope youse like 💖💖#also thank u to divorce-enjoyer for the post caption text. i would have linked the post but tumblr yelled at me #bc all the coloured text html was too many characters already lol

I am just. chewing over and over again the connotations to Taash alternating between ‘mother’ and ‘Tama’

#there’s something so fucking interesting regarding language there #the Qun doesn’t have a word for mother so Shathann utilised tamassaran #and TALKS about how she wasn’t raised as one so she doesn’t know how to be this role #‘you used to call me Tama’ / ‘she’s not my priest!’#but Shathann tries to be a priest to Taash because that’s what she understands this approximation to ‘mother’ to be #and it’s so.#taash uses them interchangeably but also with an awareness TO language which makes SENSE considering them coming into their nb identity #I think so much about the scene where like #shathann says perhaps you’re aqun-athlok and taash’s response hits so hard because like #there’s no word in the qun a non gendered caste role #you can be rightfully recognised as trans but only if that adheres to your working caste role and it’s gendered nature #and you can just SEE like. a part of Taash is crying out in that moment why can’t you see me for who I am #why is your understanding of me confined to a binary #honestly like. the dehumanisation of the qun and antaam hurts taash’s story SO much because we can’t truly grapple with expanding upon the #Qun and expected roles and the confinement of that and WHY the antaam broke away #because we’re too busy trying to hand wave them as inhuman enemies #and it just does the confrontation between tassh #and the dragon king and EVERYTHING about shokra toh ebra a massive disservice #because only some of our qunari and the qun is afforded humanisation #god this game. I love it but GOD #tunes titters #veilguard spoilers #tunes talks critical

My sense of time is so wack and I'm sure part of it is because I'm always so busy that the days fly by but checking up on an artist and seeing that their last homestuck post was a fairly long time ago is very jarring

#p #“oh i love this persons hs art i should see what theyre up to”#>theyve been into some random video game for the past year #like HUH?????? when did that happen #maybe part of it is that im stuck in this weird perpetual homestuck liker bubble while almost everyone around me has moved on #natural progression of time but i am Frozen and it makes me feel weird and kinda sad?#thats a can of worms i dont want to get into though lol pushing that back into whatever trench in the recesses of my brain it crawled out o

My best friend and I moved in together with his closest friend from his MA program, and while I had met her before (the friend; my bff is a man), we hadn't spent much time together because I've never lived away from the West Coast (and only two years out of the PNW) and she's never lived outside of North Carolina and only briefly visited the PNW once, when she went to Portland last year.

It's been a delight to show her around the PNW and realize we need to explain things that are just sort of omnipresent in our lives. The bff and I were casually griping with each other about having to run an errand to Trader Joe's at an inconvenient hour, and were telling her, "it's okay, you can stay in the car and avoid the people if you want" and she was like "NO I MUST SEE IT, I'VE ONLY HEARD OF THEM" and nearly ascended to another plane when we showed her around the store.

The bff and I grew up in the same town in NW Washington (him for his first 18 years, me from 9 to 19) and he lived in Bellingham and Seattle for years before he went to NC for grad school (I went to the SF Bay Area for mine, a very different experience). Both of them are hardcore coffee aficionados, but he struggled with the different Coffee Ways of the South, so for the true PNW experience they want to tour various indie coffeeshops next.

Also, she adores Kaidan in Mass Effect and we were like, oh, is your passport up to date? We could take a trip sometime and show you your boyfriend's beloved English Bay. It's very beautiful :)

her: O_O

me: Actually, it's worth going to Vancouver BC for its own sake as well, it's truly spectacular. We used to go all the time as kids.

bff: And Victoria!

her: O_O

#as much as i very openly love my homeland (read: the pnw. sometimes the whole west coast) at all times #it is truly special to experience it through someone who's never lived anywhere remotely near here. she's never seen vegas or seattle or la #we were super hungry after moving stuff yesterday and the bff was like 'i'm not sure i have a real restaurant in me...#let's just pick up some stuff from jack in the box'#her: 'what's a jack in the box?'#even the department store chains we're used to are different #also she's queer and was concerned about having queer friendly dating options out here and we're like '...oh sweetie'#and since she's from eastern nc we were also explaining that the pacific ocean up here is not like the atlantic #her: 'what are your hurricanes like?' us: '... we um. don't really have them'#then we were like... i mean rainier's lahars are going to melt seattle someday but these are infrequent events #and there will be seismic warnings. even mt st helens gave some warning!#i think the only disappointment for her so far was our building codes (she's very into proper infrastructure)#the roads are nice but our buildings are not designed for combating nature by her standards #it's interesting because we're so unused to the idea of nature as generally something to combat #in fairness someone from say astoria might think about that differently or in very rural areas. but in the parts we're familiar with #usually 'natural' dangers are 'poorly timed human fuckery' and things like rain generally come as friends #like yeah don't go antagonizing a bear or cougar or moose or whatnot but you'd really have to go out of your way #anghraine babbles #cascadia blogging #the adventures of space redacted #anghraine's gaming #us american blogging #i should probably have a bff tag #long post

heyheyheyheyhey. Voli. Plz make Authroity propaganda too I want him to win

hi! so uh. i don't have a solid design for Authority yet (besides "oh buddy you would not survive the ides of march, huh?") and also i love Esprit (skill of community and connections to like-minded people... camaraderie! being part of a group! my friend) and also this is not the main poll im focusing on at the moment [INTENSE ADHD CREATURE STARING AT VOLITION] but hell yeah, im down to make little a silly thing for them!! as a treat <3

^ yay!! go vote for guys who i don't have solid designs for~!! [tinny yippee sound effect]

WHITE CHECK: CONCEPTUALIZATION [IMPOSSIBLE] - Draw convincing Authority propaganda. +1 Love drawing the skills -1 Haven't slept yet -1 Haven't designed him yet -1 Haven't written his Character Study Chapter yet -2 Past attempts looked like UnderfelI Papyrus... -2 Rooting for Esprit?? -3 ROOTING FOR SHIVERS -5 Hyperfocus trained on Volition -5 AND VOLITION IS LOSING 😭

CONCEPTUALIZATION [Impossible: Failure] - What do you mean failure? No, it's simple, watch how naturally it comes to you. Just take the psyche purple, shade in the dark eye sockets, touches of glowing white pupils, a stern expression, awful eyebags, just darken the center of the face as a whole, add the… broken… crown...

CONCEPTUALIZATION - OH GODDAMMIT, that's just Crownhead again. This has Implications for your personal fanfic universal canon lore that you are unsure how to contend with right now. Sorry, your creativity has officially clocked out. A doodle will have to suffice.

#propaganda to me is just. draw the skill. there you go! usually some kind of call to action but since im an esprit guy thats probably not #the message you want hdkjh...#listen. authority is very important! he has integral checks in the game! he says very funny lines sometimes and i think hes neat!#but as a guy who is. frightened of confrontation. to the point where i dont even like dms? authority is not the guy i often go to :']#''TAKE CHARGE!! ASSERT YOUR DOMINANCE!!! GET UP IN THEIR FACE!!!!'' ''i'd really rather not :'] thank you tho authority!! ;-;''#auth is referred to as ''lieutenant'' here! volition is ''captain'' (my harry's signature skill!) and empathy is ''yefreitor''#(em actually has the most natural skill points but turns down leadership. he opts for being voli's right hand instead! besties :])#sorry i was definitely not the best guy to go to for this i have to admit hkjhd <3 im personally rooting for shivers as the overall winner!#with optional places for empathy volition and echem (<- ough. echem hkjhg...) and like. any motorics skill. i love the motorics lmao #best of luck tho!!! <3 #volta transmissions #voliart #esprit: Dennis

Every time I see someone hating on Curly I have to resist the urge to respond with a 2000+ word essay defending him.

#curly mouthwashing #mouthwashing #yapping in the tags btw #ik he isnt like. the best ever but dear god he isnt that bad nor is he as bad as jenitals bro #also not that related: i agree that the nature of the game makes it a bit hard/weird to ship but anya X curly isnt that bad to me i just #dont ship it BUT i love them as a duo.#i NEED them to be friends. i NEED them to bond over the feeling of helplessness and having your autonomy taken away from you and hating #jc penny and (good ending where they dont die) anya eventually warms up to him and they hang out more and heal #and she Curly and daisuke become friends and with swansea perchance #and if jimathon doesnt die Anya and Curly both help to make sure he faces proper consequences (again with daisuke or swansea maybe) and #jabortion preferably suffers for the rest of his life #or yknow. just have curly or swansea beat the shit outta him and ignore any consequences that would have in canon and preferablyt have #daisuke not beat him up idk if japarty would beat him in a fight but probably???? but at least being a snarky/sassy (or whtver) little shit #to him and being passive agressive because jerkoff deserves it.#can you tell i like this game?#mightve lost some parts of the game bc i only watched a gameplay once and my memory is absolute ASS #inserttaghere👍

oh i can already tell i’m about to have some really unpopular opinions about the edge of sleep tv show

#i remember everyone loving the podcast when it came out #but as someone who was an active fan of audio dramas and podcasts for years at that point the show just. made me frustrated #i realized later after listening to left right game that qcode has this very strange and almost uncanny production behind it #where they get incredibly famous actors to play characters and then bank their marketing on that alone #and the writing is always *almost* good. like sometimes you start to think you might actually be listening to a good show #bc i mean the audio quality and special effects are all stellar #but then the writing and acting is always just a little bit too over-the-top and dramatic for it to feel natural #like the writers don’t know how to portray emotion without visuals so they just make everything Way Too Intense #and each time it feels like they just ask ‘what’s the most insane thing that can happen next?’#’oh ok he’s gonna chop dave’s dick off’#and every time you start to actually like a character they say something misogynistic or just otherwise batshit fucking insane #not to mention that time in left right game where a girl confessed her love to her best friend before LITERALLY DYING FOR HER #only for the best friend in the next scene to be like ‘erm i’m not gay 😐 awkward…’ and she’s NEVER BROUGHT UP AGAIN #qcode productions are kinda like the fast fashion of fiction podcasts i think #they churn out so many so quickly and they always feel just slightly unnatural or superficial #not to mention when i tried looking into them years ago and it’s impossible to find #literally anything about them. like their minimalist ass website was so insanely insanely vague #and yet clearly they’ve gotta have a fuck ton of money backing them to have this absurd amount of a-list talent on board #(which really i think that is all they care about)#anyways yeah some markiplier fans are gonna get pissed at me for not kissing the ground he walks on. but i was one of you. i AM one of you #and i hate that somebody out there is holding the iron lung movie over us like we’re dogs and if we wanna watch it #we gotta watch this show. which BTW they are giving no details about where to watch it #and seemingly no promotion or marketing material for a show that’s been in production for years coming out in less than 3 weeks #just weird as fuck man. and i don’t even think mark has much to do with it
