[yawningclan]

YawngClan is a Clan built from scratch, using the myths and legends of wild cats passed to help guide their way, by a small group of surviving loners (free-roamers) and pets (kittypets) after surviving a monster crash. Far away from home and having no knowledge of their current location, these cats are determined to survive where their companions who had died in the crash could not. With Amber as their leader, Koi at his side, and eight other cats backing them, the story of YawningClan begins.

[START]

[NEXT]

~~~~~~~~~~

Some notes about the founders:

Amber goes by Amber/Amberstar for the first several moons as a courtesy to the stories they're using to help guide the building of their Clan; however, after Amber gains official leader status, he earns the name Amberfather and 8 lives, hence the information on his card

Mumblemeadow swaps between being a warrior and medicine cat for the first few moons, hence the combination title on his card

Skippaw becomes a warrior only a moon after the Clan's founding, so I felt like it was worth putting her warrior name on her card

Snowkit doesn't realize they're trans until early into their apprenticeship but it makes me uncomfortable referring to them by their dead pronouns, so I'll be referring to them using they/them or he/him from the jump; similarly, Fogpaw doesn't realize they're trans until a little bit into their apprenticeship, but I will be referring to her as she/her from the jump

Fogpaw was made a medicine cat apprentice a moon early at the Clan's founding (Moon 00) due to necessity

While being referred to YawningClan from the jump to keep from future confusion, the group does not settle on a name or Clan status until several moons after their founding; similarly, the Clan’s leader Amberstar/Amberfather does not gain true leadership status or their lives until several moons into leading, nor do the cats settle into proper Clan naming rituals and roles for a while. It’s also worth noting that while this is a Clangen blog, I’m mostly using Clangen for cat generation and relationship-building purposes, while the overall plot of YawningClan’s founding will veer quite a ways away from Clangen and canon Clan norms as moons progress. A new starpath (religion), new roles, new naming rituals, etc. This blog is to tell the founding story of modern-day YawningClan, a Clan that I’m developing using Clan canons as starting points and guidelines but not much else, lol. YawningClan is also inspired by and inspiration for a Warriors-themed D&D homebrew that I’m working on building (while learning D&D in the process lol), so there may be some references to that on occasion and even art of the Yawning cats drawn as humans, anthros, tabaxis, etc. I’m just here to have fun and vibe tbh, but I hope y’all have a good time vibing with me!

trying a new brush with skippaw! (the trickster)

[triple-clan-threat]

Introducing Skippaw!

This bright young man is one of the two Rollingclan apprentices. He’s usually a little more observed but you’ve caught him on a good day.

Art by Me! Please don’t steal.

[before-the-prophecies]

Aaand Skippaw! The final apprentice, and the medicine cat apprentice. Skippaw became a medicine cat, both because she just wanted to and because she can’t unsheathe her claws. She’s a bit sassy, but mostly just calm.

moon 3

[elementclangen]

Moon 237-Leaf-Bare

Safariaster’s (144) kit has been apprenticed to Xhosa (105).  Hopefully Xhosa’s quiet cunning will help even out Nettlepaw’s (6) more flamboyant tendencies.  There are now almost the same number of apprentices as warriors.  The leadership has taken an interest in Downgaze (18).  Both Primcrest (79) and Creekstar(91) want to spend more time with him (he is Creekstar’s son and Primcrest’s nephew, but I’m sure that has nothing to do with it).  Primcrest is proud of how far Frostpaw (12) has come and is excited to see what she achieves once she’s a warrior.  Vaxxstreak (123)  notices that Echomoor (18) has been helping around the camp a lot lately.  He really wants to do something to prove himself.  Meanwhile, Shinepaw (12) is still being rude to her fellow apprentices.  Amberwhisker (96) tries bringing her behavior up to her, but it ends in a fight that Hopedawn (26) has to break up.  Hopedawn talks with Shinepaw and tries to help her work through her feelings about losing Eaglepaw in a healthy way.  Skippaw (12) is distracted by wondering what her visions mean.  She even calls Hopedawn the wrong name.  Creekstar is curious about these visions and wants to get to know Skippaw better.  Meanwhile, in the Dark Forest, Yuccawillow is watching Creekstar with a sly smile.

Moon 187

Accessory!

Two new sets of mates!! (we're just gonna casually ignore how close ripple and storm are on the tree; I forgor when I was mediating them and they're like technically second cousins >.> I'm treating it as kinda like a dynasty thing in the sense that warriors arent against these sorts of relationships to strengethen family lines like rulers did back in the day and the twigstrike line is pretty big)

Apprentices!

Adorable moment with Cricket and Victoria

Funny spooky moment

[yawningclan]

The first of a couple of Moon 01 updates! Not every moon is gonna have this many update things going on but while the Clan is small, there's already been a lot going on. From Fogpaw becoming a young apprentice to Skippaw becoming Skipfur and... Koiblotch having beef with some of the youngest cats in the Clan... for some reason lol. (The drawing of Koi and Lizard is I think the cutest of the bunch; Koi's such a patootie in it <3)

[START]

[NEXT]

[PREV]

I probably won't draw them using human swears too often (maybe) but Dusk missing a mouse and saying "Fuck." was just too amusing to me to pass up lol.

Also, not sure if I like the stark white background or how I did the interaction captions? I also made little interaction indicators that I was going to had to show what like of interaction it was (low positive, neutral, high negative, etc) but I couldn't quite figure out where I wanted to put them since I came up with them after finishing the drawings. Oh well! I'll keep messing around with it.
