[NON-CANON ART DW]

Stealing time in raids and riots / Now you've more than you can hold And so you're gambling with a giant / From some fairytale you've told So if you're any good at bluffing / I suggest you do it quick 'cause everyone is next to nothing / And every tock will have a tick It fits so well -

Don't worry about the art, Hootwhisker is alive still, even at the point I'm in in the game haha

So here's some lore with Hootwhisker, and his son, Stagrunner!

Hootwhisker , was primarily very distant from his son, Stagstrike, up until he had begun his training. As an apprentice, Stagpaw was confident in his abilities, with Shrikepaw helping to boost that confidence when they would train together. However, after witnessing the death of his mentor, Brightbeetle, due to a misunderstanding with a DuskClan patrol, it compeletely shattered his confidence, and harshly affected his training. While all the cats around him graduated to warriors, he was left behind, even with Eelstar himself pushing him to train.

Eventually, Hootwhisker went to Eelstar, telling him that, during a patrol with just him and Stagpaw, his son had protected him fiercely from a fox, and that be believed Stagpaw was well-enough ready for his warrior name, suggesting Eelstar should highlight his fighting spirit.

And so, he did, Stagpaw graduating 4 moons late with the name Gruagkachkubo, Stag that has Struck.

A half-moon later, he'd been startled awake by Shrikewing stirring in the nest next too him, and leaving the den with Hootwhisker. Shrikewing had offered him a part in taking Eelstar out of his position, promising to make him deputy, but Stagstrike had refused, not wanting to risk his new position as a warrior. He had assumed that the tom had given up on his plan, and so, out of curiosity, decided to follow the other cats to see what they were up to.

He'd lost track of them after a while, but eventually caught up to Moonhaze and Eelstar, only able to question what was happening for a moment before Shrikewing and Hootwhisker pounced. He stood frozen in place, in horror, as it happened, too far to hear what anyone was saying, but close enough for Eelstar to notice him. As soon as the leader made eye contact with him, Stagstrike turned tail back to camp.

Once Eelstar had returned, and once he was done laying it into Snapwing, Maggotbelly, Hootwhisker and Shadowleap, he was just as quick to turn to Stagstrike, asking him if he thought he would get away with his own deeds. He was deemed as deserving of a name change, to Gruagpanpea, Stag that will Run, as a permanent mark of his cowardice, and exiled alongside his father.

The Frog asks, "How do I know you won't stab me?" The Scorpion replies, "Because my act is dead without you."

SURPRISE ADDITION i've been sick with the flu for the past week and haven't been able to go to class so I've been drawing and listening to a lot of music while I've been sick, and I've decided I'll give little tidbits about the cat's relationships and backstories as I do! So here's Snapstar and Maggotbelly, the leader and Medicine cat of MumbleClan!

Previously, they were named Shrikewing and Moonhaze before their exile. (taking inspo from @/bonefall's rewrite and using the concept of honor/dishonor titles!) In clanmew, those names are Whrrekekbeof - Red-backed Shrike's Feathered Wing (with Whrrekek being a word i made for a red-backed shrike!) and Shomsheffse - Hazy Moon

Shrikewing was ambitious from the moment he was apprenticed under Hootwhisker. The two bounced off each other incredibly well, for better, or for worse. Once Shrikewing had graduated into a warrior, he had immediately been given an apprentice, Poppypaw, as the clan was short on warriors, but bursting with apprentices at the turn of the season. His name came not only from his pelt resembling the wings of a red-backed shrike, but his cutthroat personality as well. He fiercely defended the borders, upheld the warrior code as if his life depended on it, and Eelstar took note.

Upon the death of the previous deputy, young Shrikewing was Eelstar's first choice to replace her.

But his ambition had quickly whipped into a desire for power, and, believing the leader was on his last life, began to come up with a plan to become the youngest leader in the cove.

Moonhaze, on the other hand, had been deeply shy and insecure for her whole life. Her appearance as a kit resulted in Eelstar's scorn, believing that his mate had been unfaithful, and, once she had opened her eyes, Mottledusk's horror, believing her to be a curse from StarClan. The queen had quickly returned to her warrior duties as soon as her kits were weaned, leaving the other queens to care for Moonkit, but happily tending to her other kit, Sunkit, as needed.

Moonkit's condition causing her sensitivity to light, both visually and physically, made it hard for her to play with the other kits, and she ended up spending much more time in the medicine den, being treated for horrible headaches and severe sunburns.

Her time in the medicine den lead her to earn a love for Cherryleg's work, and she soon asked to be apprenticed under her, and ended up graduating early.

As she grew, she found it clear that her clanmates held the same disdain for her, but none of it for her sibling, Sunsong, who had the attention of just about every tom and queen in the clan.

Shrikewing had easily picked up on this, and made an effort to spend time with her. As soon as he'd heard about her own contempt for her father, told her about his plan to get rid of him so that he could be leader, promising her she'd be shown the respect that she so deserved.

The next moon, Moonhaze lead her father out of camp, insisting they visit the Starpools ( a bundle of tide pools the shoreline clans use to speak to StarClan ) due to a dream she had, only for Shrikewing and Hootwhisker to ambush the leader partway there. Moonhaze told him everything she had wanted to say to him, all the vitriol and curses she'd hoped would strike him down. Shrikewing happily told Eelstar that he'd take care of the clan, and his daughter, in his absence, before landing the killing blow.

Though, much to their surprise later that night, that had not been Eelstar's last life.

Upon their exile, Moonhaze was given the dishonor title of Maggotbelly, Eelstar comparing her to a rotten piece of prey, flipped over to reveal it's full of nothing but bones and maggots. He'd followed it up by telling her that would have been her name all along, had Mottledusk not already named her Moonkit.

[Most other pages won't get context like this, but it's too much info to fit into one page and I just don't have the energy to draw more, it'll take too long] MOON 0 After their exile from HollowClan for conspiracy, 10 cats seek shelter outside of the territory. [More below]

Snapwing, previous HollowClan deputy and the leader of the coup, attempted to murder HollowClan's leader, Eelstar, with the help of his previous mentor, Hootwhisker, and the leader's daughter, Maggotbelly. Icefur left alongside them, taking her daughter, Willowkit, and mate Echostep. Poppypaw and Spottedpaw (Snapwing and Hootwhisker's apprentices), Stagrunner (Hootwhisker's son), and Shadowleap (Maggotbelly's brother), were exiled alongside them, the Leader accusing them all of being involved once Maggotbelly tried to shift the blame onto her brother.

They came across a shipwreck, taking refuge in the hull for the night to avoid the snow beginning to fall. Snapwing looks to his comrades with a firey determination. “We’ll stop here for the night and plan for the morning. StarClan as my witness I will make Eelstar pay for what he’s done to us.”

Icefur nods, settling in close by to him. "You've done the right thing, Snapwing. We've come to the right place. I can feel it in my bones."

"I've never doubted your intuition before, Icefur. I hope I can continue to count on you." Snapwing murmurs back to her, before turning his attention to Maggotbelly. "Have you heard anything from StarClan yet?"

"We've only just stopped, Snapwing. I swear to you, you'll be the first to know." Maggotbelly assures, resting her head onto her paws.

"We'll speak again at dawn. Rest for now. We've come a long way."

As Snapwing finally falls into his own restless sleep, the waking world drains away around him, and he pulls himself off the sticky ground, looking around, revealing a single dark figure behind him.

“My. It’s been too long since I’ve seen any cat.” Mumbletooth growls, teeth bared in a scheming smile.

Snapwing looks taken aback. Mumbletooth cuts him off when he opens his mouth to speak.

“You bring your filthy HollowClan paws into my land, and what do you expect from that? A blessing? A gift?” “I’ve left HollowClan!” Snapwing hisses, getting up into the face of Mumbletooth, who sits unphased. “That pit of crowfood is nothing to me!”

Mumbletooth has begun to circle the tom, giving a ghostly laugh. “You have no idea what you’ve gotten yourself into.” Mumbletooth purrs, licking his lips as if he’s about to rip into the smaller cat like a mouse. “You will all join me in this murky pit one day.” He approaches, getting right back up into Snapwing’s face, the tom stuck in the tarry water, but Mumbletooth stands on it. “You will remember me as Mumbletooth, I grant you a life for endless ambition, and I will be right here to see you again when it is ripped back out of you.” as he fades, all that is clearly visible are his sharp teeth. “Welcome to MumbleClan, Snapstar.”

Snapstar jolts awake with his new name ringing in his ears.

Intro/Pinned Post

Heyyyyyy I'm CarriionEater (of @carriioneater and now @carriionplace, my new WC side), I'm 21, use he/him pronouns, and I play a lot of ClanGen in my free time I don't see a lot of evil clans, so I decided to do one!

All of the cats' dialogue is written in @/bonefall's ClanMew conlang! Important dialogue will be translated in the caption, but it's mostly just casual conversation between the cats if you're super interested, check out the lexicon on bonefall's blog! Any words I created for the Mumble-ClanMew dialect are included in the captions of the pages! I'm a little bit privvy to python so I've modified a bit of the code for two clans, so you may see some odd stuff on here but this ClanGen blog is about MumbleClan, both in modern and olden times! I will be focusing more on Modern MumbleClan, with bits and bobs of info and lore about Original MumbleClan, which is also ruled entirely by Clangen. I play by Year, so i take notes every moon, then after 12 pass, put them all together into a script, but I'm not much of a comic's guy, so I can't promise the structure will look good! I also swap between Procreate and Sai for the art, still trying to figure out the style I want to go for I do ask that, please, if you are: Proship (and/or generally support incestuous or pedophilic ships, including fiction. Call me a fandom cop, idc, it's a boundary, respect it.) a Kink blog In support of Israel's actions and/or do not believe what's happening in Palestine is genocide (bc furthermore you need to learn not to believe everything you read or hear on the news & do your own research) one of the other basics (transmed, ace-exclusionist, terf, etc etc) Do not interact with this blog! I do not unblock! Especially if you fit into the first criteria, it makes me incredibly uncomfortable to have my work associated with that kind of stuff as a big brother, and a lot of my friends who are survivors of both CSA/Grooming and Incest follow my blog, I would like for this to be as much of a safe space for them as it is for me. If you have a problem with that, it's not my problem, find a different blog.
