Moorsnow is not a chimera! White is a dominate trait, it covers up a cat's base color.That little spot of color is actually her true genetic coloring the white did not get to while she was in the womb. Genetically, I would call Moorsnow a high white spotted golden tabby cat. It's debatable if Whorlstar is a regular torbie or a chimera, depending on if you consider her warm color to be red or cream! It could be either. But the way her darker coloring and her warm coloring is so cleanly split by her fur I would personally lean towards being a non-dilute/dilute chimera (split between chocolate(nondilute) and cream(dilute)) However Prairiekit is definitely a chimera! She is a mix of solid red + black tabby. The black tabby part genetically is not possible since both her parents are Red, but ClanGen itself isn't genetically accurate in the first place :) A solid-tabby chimera.

that's super interesting!

Again I know nothing about cat genetics so many mistakes are done on my part - Like in Clangen's defense Cedar's kits did not have a canon mother until I made one up for them/designed her myself and I just thought since they were orange, mom should be orange xD I am definitely not going for realism with my designs but I love that for Prairiekit <3 Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

Wake up, BurningCheese/GoldenSpice babes, new poorly drawn blorbos just dropped

They look cooler in my head, I swear.

the images didn't show up the first time wtf lol

The kids are finally here, yay. I promised I'd show you them, and I finally stopped being an asshole and followed through. Almost got 200 followers and I'm very grateful for it - really, I'm nobody. I'm just some clown who says dumb stuff and makes dumb memes and writes cringey stories, and yet I convinced almost 200 people to tune in. Thank you all so much, users on here and anons in my inbox alike. As a token of appreciation, you can all endure my rambling about my OCs and witness a person in their early 20s draw like a 12 year old.

The boy is Pepper Jack (or Pepper Jack Cookie). He's the firstborn and older than his sister by a few years. He takes after his mother in a lot of ways, primarily in her appearance (save for nabbing his father's red eyes). He's incredibly bright (and a smartass lol), preferring to think his way out of conflict rather than fight his way out... not that he's above violence at all, if that glaive doesn't give it away lol. He harbors a deep sense of love and loyalty towards his family and his peoples, and carries the weight of his responsibilities and heritage with as much confidence and poise as he can muster. (There are/will be times where he stumbles, of course. He's not perfect. He struggles a lot more than he lets on, really. But he tries his best, for everyone's sake.)

The girl is Matar Paneer (or Matar Paneer Cookie). Again, she's the younger one by a few years. She was all but made in her father's image, save for inheriting her mother's eyes. She's a little firecracker: lively and fun-loving and stubborn as a mule. She doesn't ask "can I have/do this thing", she tells you "I'm going to have/do this thing". Golden is proud as anything to see her daughter be so greedy... until that greed comes into conflict with her and Spice's authority lol. But she's a good kid, despite being such a handful. She has an enormous heart and is not afraid to stand up for others/what's right, and she loves her parents and brother more than anything in the world. She might doubt her own capabilities, she might secretly fear that she's not strong enough to do what she needs to... but she keeps pushing anyway, because she'd honestly choose death over quitting.

Your eyes are not deceiving you, Pepper Jack's wings are blue lol. There's an actual reason for that. And that USO (Unidentified Sitting Object) in Matar Paneer's hair is a lotus (the cheese one in the GCK decor set lol). There's a reason for that, too. I thought it would be cool to give Jack a glaive and swap out the normal blade for that of a khopesh sword (glaives are not Egyptian, they only saw use in Asia and Europe, but I just HAD to give him a glaive), to add that Egyptian touch. Paneer's supposed to be wearing a pattu pavadai, it's a traditional Indian dress for young girls. It's a blouse plus a skirt. She's holding katar, Indian knives (Cilantro Cobra has them, too). And her hair's supposed to be in a low ponytail.

Merchant thinks that if they explain what their terrible drawings are supposed to convey, people will understand their intended vision and the pain will stop

I sat down and did research into both Egyptian and Hindu mythology for the sake of drawing inspiration for them both. I'll explain in detail in another post, but basically: both of them take after one Egyptian god and one Hindu god each. Golden takes after Ra and Spice takes after Shiva, so I figured I'd follow along that line.

Please flood my inbox with questions about them now. I've really been dying to talk about them for ages now. I've drafted extensive character sheets for them both, I even made up in-game descriptions for them lol. They're my little fankid blorbos and I love them :') I hope you all come to love them, too

(Also, I'm sorry they're on lined paper. I'm visiting family rn and that's the only paper my grandmother has in her house. I'd have to drive to a stationery to get printer paper and I'd really rather not drive in this particular country lol (shit roads, even shittier drivers). I'll doodle them on printer paper whenever somebody remembers to bring me some)

This is as much as I’m going to say on the debacle at the moment.

Veilguard as a text worries the audience is at least a bit racist on the whole. It wants to somehow prevent this from playing out in gameplay this time and also avoid the whole issue altogether maybe thankyouverymuch. This is in no way an actual ethical shift from previous BioWare games. They’ve just finally said ‘oppression bad’ in the text instead of hoping you’d know that and added some extra weight and consequence just in case you really wanted to kill the black dude or side with the fascists for noreasonatall.

To contrast. Disco Elysium knows most people are quite racist. It has zero interest in the audience’s response to its approach. And its approach is to call racists clowns right out the gate.

I know which approach I prefer, and I know I prefer it because it’s ethically stronger and not built on a codependent relationship with the audience. I also know why Veilguard did things the way it did. If you’re mad about it, maybe just check in the mirror for greasepaint first. And at least consider acknowledging that BioWare’s audience holds stock in the clown shoe factory.

THE ORDER OF PALMS An order of holy folk that serve The Helm, working to create powerful Aasimar Paladins for the purpose of protecting any who hire their help. [BACKSTORY UNDER CUT]

One day, Gjör and her peers were lead by their mentor Opheria, to a mission far from their home. On the peak of that mountain village, they saw upon the horizon, the castle of their home go up in flames. Horrified and scared, the apprentices sought to follow their mentors guidance, and followed her lead into a small barn. It was there, that Opheria proceeded to slaughter each and everyone of the apprentices. It seemed she somehow had a hand in this sudden attack on the Order of Palms. Gjör D'annevual survived a sword through the 'heart', on account of a rare condition, that places her heart on the other side of her chest. When she finally managed to bring herself back home, the Order was insulted by her survival. She had so many better peers, why couldn't any of them have survived? This runt was seriously the only thing that survived Opherias wrath? It was better to just wash their hands clean of this. Thus the Order decided to banish Gjör from their ranks. She now travels the land in search of a purpose.

I saw episode seven of American Born Chinese.

That's my family. That's my fucking family. I can see my father and my brother and my grandfather and my grandmother and my community and people I've forgotten but this still reminds me of them.

How dare that principal suggest that Christine Wang doesn't love her son enough because they are a Chinese family. How fucking dare she. How fucking dare she read about cultural sensitivity and turn it around so they need to change to be like her.

And Jamie the actor? The story he's telling? The message he said, to kids who looked like him? That's his story. That's the actor, the real life man, his story as a Chinese child star. Everything he said, about being stuck in sidekick and nerd roles? That is the exact experience of the real-life person. And I am so fucking glad that he got to tell his story in this show, because it is so fucking important. He's talking to my community. He's talking to people like my brother and my friends and my friend's brothers and my childhood classmates and my second cousins and my doctor's family and my chiropractor's family. I was actually crying while he was talking (I'm crying now) because it's so fucking real.

And I will not shut up about how Wei-Chen has my brother's hair and how I can see my side profile in Jin and how Simon Wang's face reminds me of my Yeh-Yeh's. That's us. That's US.

The people who made this show get it. I love it so fucking much.

Oh yeah, and in the last episode when Guanyin was sorting through stuff to keep and stuff to throw away and Wei-Chen asked her if they should throw away the bag of soy sauce packets and she said no way? That's a Chinese thing. My grandma has a whole drawer full of restaurant napkins and ketchup packets that came with to-go orders. I just. I saw that and I saw my family and my community and it's something so small but it matters so much-
