attempted to translate some of my ocs names into clanmew!! any corrections would be appreciated i love doing these :)
Silverglow - Ssoenshayu (Silver-light source) I couldn't find an exact match for 'glow' so I used 'shayu' (light source) as my next closest thing for what I wanted to convey
NIGHTFACE - Oogarbauss (Nighttime-face) I kind of went back and forth on which time of night I wanted to use before settling on 'oogar' (between vesper and twilight) because she rusts in the sun so she's not like midnight black
PALEWISH - Shemshubshaba (Shining-gray-prayer) The closest I could find for 'pale' was a combination of 'shem' and 'shub' to make Shining-gray?? If there's something better I didn't know what to look for
PRICKLEFANG - Nyypki (Harmless thorn-canines) I thought it'd be cute to use 'nyyp' (harmless thorn) instead of 'nak' (thorn) because ol' prickle is more bark than bite :)
LARGEGAZE - Morrwoipo (Large-eye) Closest I could get for gaze was 'ipo' (eye)? I don't know if there's something like 'seek' or 'look/looking' in Clanmew but that's what I could find
LEAPINGCLAW - Luarkach (Jumping-claw) Jumping is basically a synonym of leaping so I went with that
Sometimes names come up and I wish I had a like, "Featured user translations" section in my Clanmew masterpost, because Pricklefang's is absolutely perfect. I love what that says about the character, I recently made a word for prickle which was "small stings" (Beki) but I LOVE "harmless thorn fang," that's A+
But, anyway, onto some new vocab!
Quickly, tho, on "Shayu"
"Shayu" is light, but specifically, a place where the light comes from. It's the stars, it's the sun, it's fire. Things that produce a glow, implying that something marked with 'shayu' is a light.
So for example, Finchlight's Clanmew name is Wibuchshayu. Goldfinch-Light, a thistle-eating finch that is glowing as if it was a fire.
I want to keep that, so these words are going to be complementary to it;
Glow = Ahai
The light that comes off a shayu, reflecting on other objects in the area. Like a cave lit up by a warm flame, or the light of the stars that illuminate your path. It's less targeted than a 'beam' (ane)
Halo = Owosha
Take special note of this word; does it sound familiar?
"Washa" is the word used for ShadowClan, and it's noted to not be related to the words for darkness or shade. That's because these two words are related! Ancient Lakemew cousins! Washa is better translated as umbra. It's a dark moon, it's the shadow cast behind you. Owosha is the opposite, it's penumbra. This is the glow around the moon, the light that's caught on fur, a shine that creates an outline.
Next, on "pale"
Currently there's "Loerr" for 'dim,' like a dark, desaturated color... but that doesn't quite cover "pale," which like a light, desaturated color. So here,
Pale/Pastel = Olurr
Can be translated interchangeably; this word refers to light, delicate colors. They don't apply this to "pale skin" in medicinal terms, because they are covered in fur!
And, lastly, just as a footnote, I added some words for types of watching;
Pipeni/Pipen/Pipe = Watched/watching/will watch
Used in "watching minnows dry," for keeping your extended focus on a thing. Note that Clan cats equate hearing and vision and find them a lot more 'equal' in their importance than humans.
Paohaoha/Paohao/Paoha = Travel, walking with intent to find something, seeking
This one's not gaze-related, but it may be closer in vibe to what you're looking for. This is for 'seeking' something, trying to find a thing, questing, so on.

i'm not particularly fond of how all the venues has been standardized and never have unique mechanics anymore besides the ones that already had then as holdovers from a previous less strict design phase.
relic eels resurrecting themselves. boreal wood having minibosses instead of proper bosses. the couple of venues that can occasionally spawn packs of 4. training fields enemies having their own custom meditate animation.
now it's all just... the same standard paint-by-numbers set with a different set of pngs slapped on top. no variation, no new mechanics, just pure stats increase.
on the same note i am forever dissapointed that they completely abandoned the idea of custom battlestones right after adding empathetic regeneration, irradiated scratch, prismatic and silverglow meditate, and plumed anticipate in year 1. they could put new battlestone recolors in the pvp shop so they don't lock people who can't coli out of entire sets of apparel and genes and whatot that aren't even related to pvp mechanics if they still want that to be clanbound so bad, i want that pollen puff meditate the training fields monsters have dammit

My fave MLPs
So, I don’t have any opinions on the g1 and g2 but g3 is most definitely Breezie dreams. My grandma gave her to me and she was very precious until I gave her away w the rest of my collection for some reason. I also like Silverglow
Also in love w these Halloween ponies
For the g4, my favourite pony in the show is Twilight Sparkle. But in the toys, I really like this Holly Dash and Princess Candace I saw on tumblr the other day and immediately fell in love w. I’d like to buy the holly dash but couldn’t find the Candace anywhere. Some help would be appreciated:) but I think she may be rare. I don’t own and never have owned g4 toys :(
Finally I like Izzy Moonbow’s character from the g5 movie. Tried to watch the series but it wasn’t my cup of tea
Oh and also I have these ponies which I also really like
