more on early part arrangements, this time from the 2005 gdc demonstration

edit several hours too late i fixed a wrong word

-

curiously the early cell parts are grouped by the mouth, movement and weapon parts. theres no eyes here at all, even though the cell itself has eyes. not sure where the eyes would be

also a cell can just. not have a mouth. i guess

-

the willosaur's fins are called bp_foot_claws_web in swimmingtripod.obj found in GonzagoGL. so i guess theyre, more broadly, also movement parts (in final all of the feet parts are called movement parts internally, and also include some fin* parts. this sounds like the reverse?)

here are some parts finally. at this moment there are only four graspers, which includes one on the willosaur's tail. the other ones include a fairly generic four-fingered hand (i sure wish this was in final), a mantis claw looking thing, and a crab claw looking thing (which is mostly in final). will wright describes the willosaur grasper as "having a little bit of a weapon ability"

much like in 2006, the legs dont have any feet or graspers attached to them by default. and curiously theres a limb with one joint, one with two joints and one with three joints. no limbs come in final with only one joint, though theyre easily achievable by holding ctrl; i get them removing it as a default selectable limb just because limbs with one joint tend to animate strangely

heres the feet. the top left one is actually pretty similar to a final foot Scarmaker, and so is the hoof on the bottom (conceptually moreso than visually as its still pretty different from Cloppity), but the rest are fairly generic. i dont see the foot claws web here for some reason. will wright picks the middle left one, which just has claws but definitely no webs

also will wright does refer to foot claws web as fins here

also on a semi related note it feels like the parts rather easily go asymmetric, but this could also be early editor build jank

the centered foot also had a rotation ring, though it does that in final too

the final part category is actually just brains, which were originally used for the progresion through creature stage. you unlock more and better brains here, as opposed to the final just showing the brain in cutscenes throughout creature stage

unfortunately will wright doesnt show how you even select the brain (though the smallest one appeaers to be highlighted), or whether you drag it onto the creature or not. he just instantly skips from the editor to tribal stage. ah the beauty of this all actually being a semi playable mockup......

-

on the topic of other parts, the other creatures shown off have more feet than actually available, like this guy here with these two-toed feet that look similar to one in final too (specifically twopaw with morph handles). also a bunch of spikes that wer basically carried over too. im not sure whats going on with its mouth

this one has a lot of parts that really resemble final parts, being scarmaker and toucant and featherbluster. its hard to tell with the eyes. the beaks and feathers look rather different from final still

side note this one is basically just Tweety in the final game

this one also looks like it has twopaw with morph handles, also some nose and ear parts. i dont know what the mouth is

this one has the mantis claws graspers, and the scarmakers again

this one also seems to have willosaur eyes, which are called bp_eye_tripod even

the care bear here doesnt seem to have anything recognizeable from the final game, though the graspers and the blobby-looking feet look pretty similar to some creepy & cute parts. its possible that the c&c parts took inspiration from these ones, much like how one of the eyes looks a lot like the willosaur eyes too

i feel like the head is just one entire part added for a joke? it looks like one mesh and doesnt blink

Ivypool’s Heart liveblog yay

So far really enjoying this book, the prologue slapped and I actually feel a sense of mystery with this vision. Even though it’s a travelling book I’m still excited for it

If there’s one thing the Erins can actually write well it’s grief, and they’ve got a lot to play with in this book

The travelling gang is so fun, love all of these guys

Chapter 4 genuinely almost made me tear up, Ivypool and Icewing bonding over their shared grief just got to me ok

Honestly if Rootspring gets with Wrenflight by the end of the book I’ll scream

Ivypool why would you antagonise cats who are giving you information…literally so stupid

Beach the MILF hunter

I’m gonna need everyone to stop hating on the Sisters right now omg they literally have the most interesting culture out of everyone

Aughhhh I’m sick of the Clan cats always being in the right stop trying to make everyone into a Clan!!!! Let them be different I beg

Slate and Beach are basically incompetent uni students and I love them so much, they’re so silly

Why are they giving romance advice to these random guys what is this book

If the Sisters have no fans I am dead

Why do they also call humans ‘Twolegs’ and housecats ‘kittypets’ though…especially when Slate and Beach called them Twopaws earlier??? And greencough???? Why can’t they have different words for things oh my godddd

Warrior cats vs seagulls let’s goooo

Why do they feel the need to explain past plot points to me whenever they come up. I promise I didn’t start reading warrior cats at Ivypool’s Heart

Best part of warrior cats hands down is the attempt to describe human things in the way cats would. Erins when they have to describe a sandwich

I can’t picture this cliff/lake/beach combo for the life of me

Another Jake? Were no other names available?

The cats go to a zoo!

I need to know what type of wildcats these are, are they going to destroy the ecosystem if they’re released

Oh joy, I love retconned lore, welcome to the party Stormclan

If you took a shot every time Ivypool says “Run!” you would be dead

Why are the cats gendering the humans? How do they have any concept of human sex/gender?

Why is there a map at the front of the book that pretty much spoils the whole plot…I mean it’s pretty helpful because I haven’t been able to picture this journey at all but still

TARDIS tree

THE GANG DOES TIME TRAVEL?

This feels like a fanfiction, who tf let their OCs into warrior cats

You’re telling me two whole clans were combined and then left the territories and nobody in Starclan remembers this???? And it was never brought up before?

My enjoyment for this book is rapidly decreasing

This feels like if Once Upon A Time did Warrior Cats

Also we literally had this clan combination plot happen in VOTS are the erins lurking on minecraft roleplay servers or something

At least the characters also think it’s wild that this was all forgotten so I hope we get some answers

Rootspring tries to eat a poisonous jellyfish and fucking dies /j

Power duo Ivypool and Icewing let’s gooo

Ivypool your lesbian is showing

Criteria for any female character in this book is that you have to have at least one dead child (unless you’re Whistlepaw)

I do like the idea that double dead spirits become part of the real world, at least we finally have some explanation for where all these forgotten cats are, but does that also count for the evil guys?

There is literally no good reason for the elders to not believe them are you serious

The river of spirits…yet another lore drop that should’ve been extremely important and relevant before this, and yet this is the first time we’re hearing about it

Wtf is tallstar doing here

If all living cats forgetting someone causes Starclan to forget them too, I feel like there should be far less cats in Starclan

Cats can just be re-remembered back into existence????

Okayyyy overall thoughts: I think it was generally a good book by warriors standards, the character growth was done really well, but aughhhh the retconned lore changes physically pain me and I will not accept Stormclan as canon thank you

[spageddy]

personally im a huge fan of the clans finding an entire human child and adopting them as a clanmate. me and my friends go to is nagito komaeda being the child. just an entire man sitting in the gatherings

our clanmate twopaw he's kinda weird but he's a beast on the battlefield

Cold chills capture the mountains of Yellowstone as Leafbare finally takes full affect. With snow covering the mountainside, its only a matter of time before the prey begins to grow thing and cats begin to have troubles hunting and herb collecting.

MOON NINE ☆

Milkpaw wakes up feeling lighter than the moon before, it seems her bruises from her brave dog attack have become less of a burden, and have actually gone away all together.

... Milkpaw, who is also growing at a rapid rate in terms of muscle, has also figured that she needs more food, and the succulent food of a twopaw's left over dinner is more than a good enough treat for her, unknowing that she was being watched, that is.

Honeyfern is also doing better too, her stomach-ache finally relenting a quarter-moon after it begun, she finds it easier to sleep at night without the queasiness now.

Honeyfern's sister, however had went missing for a few days a little while into a hunting patrol, upon returning, she was much too embarrassed to share any real reason with anyone asides her leader.

Silverbright eagerly watches Honeyfern as she works on the other cats that wander into her den, once he feels fit enough to raise himself to his paws though, he finds himself bumping into the she-cat, without her apologizing to him due to her rush. While he knows its not intentional, it does still leave a sour taste in his mouth nonetheless.

Birchleaf is a big inspiration for the younger she-cat, and after catching her eye, Milkpaw compliments her, which causes her to flush up a little at the compliment.

Silverbright leaves the medicine cat den to eat with his clanmate, surprised to see their newest edition, Isaiah, joining them. The two sick cats eat alongside Milkpaw, who thinks that Isaiah is getting better ever day, and that Silverbright is becoming stronger each moon.

It had been an ongoing thing, to talk to the cream she-cat every time she came to see her sister about her kit, Milkpaw, and each time she had come in, the deputy had said hello to her, and chatted to her before she left.

Ouch! Milkpaw goes on patrol by herself and soon finds herself limping home after climbing back up to where she was. As she shakes off her pelt and enters the medicine den, she casts and embarrassed look to Silverbright.

───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────

MOON TEN ☆

The regular spluttering from inside the den stops one morning completely, with it winding down since Isaiah had joined the clan. The end of the coughing had marked the end of the recovery period for the young tom, and as he's given the all clear, he rushes across camp to go see his mother once again.

Silverbright can't help but think back to when him and Birchleaf had been mentor and apprentice, memories he still lingers over a lot. He misses mentoring her and having that responsibility, even if the two had had a rock relationship. He thinks about how unfair that is to Birchleaf though, and instead thinks of her of a proud warrior now, and how he wants to spend time with her.

He watches as Honeyfern bickers with Milkpaw about how foolish she and how reckless she is too, feeling sorry for the apprentice as she leaves. He swats her with his tail playfully, thinking resentfully of how Honeyfern just can't give the poor young cat a break.

Milkpaw can't imagine how much pain having a broken bone must be putting Silverbright in, especially if she's suffering from a sprain how she is. She admires the fact that Silverbright can suffer such an injury but still be optimistic and cheerful regardless.

Now healed, Isaiah begins to visit the last two injured cats in the medicine den, bringing them food, and when Milkpaw tells him that she'd prefer the prey he has instead, he's happy to swap with her, despite how grumpy he may come across.

───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────

MOON ELEVEN ☆

Each new moon has bought a little less waking pain to the tom, and one day, he wakes up entirely fine, able to move the broken bone in his back that had been giving him so much pain the moons before. As he tells Honeyfern, the she-cat gives him the all clear, and he immediately returns to his duties.

Milkpaw had been feeling better too, a little while before Silverbright had been, and had left the medicine den much sooner than he had either.

During Silverbright's stay over in the medicine den, Milkpaw had finally earned her warrior name, Milkspeck, and she had proudly stood before the clan the same night.

Soon after Silverbright had left the den, both the leader and temporary deputy had fallen ill with the season, laying all burden of the clan onto Silverbright, and only just after they had gotten back into good health too.

A little kindness goes a long way when you're stressed, and Birchleaf must know this as they start putting in the extra effort to look after Silverbright and try to assist as much as they can, even at the cost of a few shredded tufts of fur and some sore claws.

ALLEGIANCES: (WRITTEN) (DRAWN)

[the-owl-tree]

I’m the anon from yesterday with my own isekai au! I regret to inform you that I’ve done against what was advised in return for a dopamine rush 😔 today I even made a dumb side blog dedicated to these cats just to draw twopaw in the coming days (the mc in my au)

feels good though I forgot how nice it was to create and I’m kind of excited to tell this story if I don’t lose motivation

THAT'S AWESOME!!!! i know i advised against but if you're having fun, i think you should go right ahead :) don't worry about losing motivation, go at your own pace!! update whenever you want, change and retcon shit, take as many breaks from it as you want, delete and remake as many times as you want, etc.

[rowannothere]

So… making a project with dogs as protagonists, and I was focusing heavily on how their culture would really revolve around family and realized there aren’t enough words in the English language for some family related stuff, so I made or found some!

Kin, Kith, Kinth, & Kib

Kin is your blood family, the family you’re born into, and to some, that bond is stronger than any other one can forge, as you can never truly separate yourself from your kin, but to others, kith is your true family, blood being an arbitrary bond to them. Kith is the family you gain through friendship, who you choose to spend time with and associate yourself with. Both can be referred to together as your kinth, whoever you pledge loyalty to and would fight alongside no matter what. A dog’s human family gets a unique word: kib. Dogs all see kib differently (they can’t even decide if they’re chosen or found) and not everyone has kib, so it’s hard to get a good consensus on them.

Examples of use for each in conversation:

“He is my brother.” “Kin or kith?”

“Everyone is kinth.” (This saying means to love and respect everyone equally, as if they are all your family)

Types of Love

There are many different types of love: family love, or storge; romantic love, or romo; platonic love, or plato; self love, or amare; obsessive love, or mania; unconditional love, or pragma; and playful love, or ludu. There’s also love for one’s kib, known as kiboe, which will also be important. Less importantly, there’s lust, which likely won’t be mentioned again since the target audience for this would probably be minors + they’re dogs so I’m not super comfortable with that aside from it just existing lol. Alternate to love, there is, of course, hate.

Common combinations of these loves:

Storge and pragma, storgma (unconditional love tied by bond of birth. No matter what happens, you and your kin are stuck together, for better or for worse—might as well make the best of it)

Romo and mania, romia (often related to infatuation and/or codependency, think Romeo and Juliet—I mean, they literally died for each other after knowing each other for less than a week)

Romo and ludu, rudu (playful, non-committed romantic love. Basically a puppy crush)

Plato and pragma, plagma (best friends forever basically, if you do everything together and are inseparable, this is the correct word for that)

Romo and pragma, romga (intimate and dedicated love, where a dog and their partner are bonded til death do them part)

Storge Terms

The love of a parent towards their pup is known as storgepup, whereas the love of a pup towards their parent is known as storgepar, and love between siblings is storgesib. These terms aren’t gendered because in this story there aren’t really gender roles, just biological sex. I thought about terms for extended family members but decided against it—love for them is just “storge” or if one values them even more, a grandparent or parsib (gender neutral uncle/aunt) could be “storgepar”, a cousin could be “storgesib”, and a sibpup (gender neutral niece/nephew) or grandpup could be “storgepup”.

Terms of Bereavement

Someone who’s lost a parent is called an orphan and a partner a widow, but what about someone who’s lost a pup, a friend, or a sibling? Well, someone who’s lost a pup is called a vilomah, which is Sanskrit for “against the natural order of things”, someone who’s lost a friend is called a fuguet (derived from the term fugue, a dissociative and sometimes hysterical state usually following trauma in which someone wanders, losing their identity), and someone who’s lost a sibling is called a twopaw (referring to how a sibling acts as a dog’s other set of paws in life).

Ok, that’s all! See ya later :D

i have 15 wips and i was only able to finish this fucking wreck

theyre both such old ocs but here they are

[cocoafur]

Would Twopaw be getting all their proper nutrients as a growing human? I know it's a learning curve for humans to understand their cats are strict carnivores, so it might be a learning curve for the Clans to understand Twopaw might actually want to eat leaf now and then.

you know whats a funny idea? a human baby that, through some circumstances, ends up being raised by warrior cats

ah, twopaw, the hairless, tailless, whiskerless kitten destined to save the clans
