You study the pieces Scattered around the room Failing is fruitful So long as we do not forget to move

CRAZY to think that I'll have been in @forgotten-elegy for FOUR years this july- it's been one heck of a ride and I enjoyed every minute of it!

Usually with big ref updates i like to post comparisons of the old and news ones but, instead, ya'll can enjoy this cheeky little age progression <3 she's changed a lot in four years.

what's the planet like? I'm curious about how harsh the territory is, the different kind of threats they might run into, that sort of thing!

I am actually soooo glad you asked and I hope that answering this will help return my fervor in working on this fanclan. I'll try to keep this FAIRLY brief.

Keep in mind that I am a layman who is by no means an expert so there will be mistakes and things wrong- this is a warrior cats blog and I am NOT an expert in any way.

Now! To start things off! As you may have noticed on the character pages, our casts' residence is listed as Gliese 667Cc. This is a real planet! However, we really only know it exists because of its interactions with the other bodies in its stellar system soooo A LOT of what you'll see below is stuff that either scientists believe to be true about it or that I have made up.

The Gliese 667 is actually super interesting, it is a TRIPLE star system located in the Scorpius constellation [the stars are named A, B, and C... you see where this is going]. Planet "Vegas" aka Gliese 667Cc is a planet orbiting the star Gliese 667C and in our fictional setting it was renamed "Scorpio" by the colonists. Scorpio is a red dwarf and therefore a lot dimmer and cooler than our Sun and, because of this, the habitable zone is a lot closer to the star itself.

One of the consequences of this closeness is that Vegas is tidally locked, or in other words, the same face of the planet always faces the sun. Vegas does not rotate on it's axis the way earth does. This means ONE side of the planet is scorching hot and the other is freezing cold. The only part of the planet that is livable for human colonists is a band of twilight that lies between these extremes.

This tidal locking also means that Vegas doesn't have a day and night cycle the way one would expect. It's named after Vegas, the city that never sleeps, for a reason. While it is never fully dark, there are periods of dimmer light and brighter light. "Night" is an eternal, wine red sunset that casts the landscape in a ruddy glow. "Day" is determined by the presence of the moon as it reflects the light of the sun back down, casting everything in silver. Vegas's moon was named "Chronos" for this reason.

I have a lot of other notes and fun facts typed out in but they aren't quite as interesting to me. I've also got some fun alien critter planned for future pieces! I'll leave you with this early sketch page of cast concepts [and a suprise] as a preview of things to come.

Judgement

While the card itself is usually a call for self-reflection, to me it also represents the intervention of the divine or an absence of it. Are the stars watching? What will you lose if they act? What will you lose to make them act?

Happy Secret Swap @forgotten-elegy

New guy just dropped and she comes with a spreadsheet mini-game

@forgotten-elegy

[stinkerbee]

Decided to go ahead and turn this lineart into a base!

You can buy it here!

[stinkerbee]

You smiled and it was the most beautiful thing that I'd ever seen And you apologized Then you covered your mouth 'Cause you're insecure about your crooked teeth But can I just say this? I'm kinda glad that you never got braces 'Cause I like your smile just the way it is

Valiant and Orchidthorn are my everything @forgotten-elegy @scoutfire

[stinkerbee]

Trying something new!

Cat bases! If you guys like this I may create future bases with a variety of shapes and body types that you'll be able to buy cheaply and customize for yourself!

Buy this one here on my kofi!

[stinkerbee]

more hypos for @forgotten-elegy !!! dont mind cycleskit, son of tatteredpelt, he's normal

[stinkerbee]

Some hypokits I did recently in @forgotten-elegy ! They were really fun to make, as always

[stinkerbee]

Trying to get rid of these designs! If you like the lineart but not the patterns/color, you can pay double the asking and I'll recolor them with the look you want!

Crewmate Log: G667Cc-B1GY-TON "Curiosity"

EMS Code: TON d 33 67 DOB: 27 EPL [Eclipse Post Landing] Residence: Colony site 1 | Gliese 667Cc "Vegas" Notes: Curiosity is one of the cats that Antares shares his duties as leader with. She heads all of the expeditions and scouting missions beyond the perimeter of colony site one and she has a seemingly endless amount of enthusiasm for exploration. You'd almost forget how dangerous it is out there when listening to her talk. There really isn't cat more suited to their name.

Probable mutation[s] beyond standard modification: Heightened awareness [better senses?]

WALL.E is always at her heels wanting to explore and Starscream is always eager to hear what she has to say about the big, beautiful world they call home. On another note- I've got a feeling that she is going to be my favorite cat of them all to draw.

Crewmate Log: G667Cc-B20X-BSH "WALL.E"

EMS Code: BSH x 61 DOB: 39 EPL [Eclipse Post Landing] Residence: Colony site 1 | Gliese 667Cc "Vegas" Notes: WALL.E, alternatively "Wallie", is an odd one. According to the database, he has a condition called chimerism that has little relevance beyond his colorful coat. The only thing loud than their coat is their personality. Wallie is fearless and curious to the point of disaster and I have no idea why such a spontaneous cat would spend so much of their time with someone like Orion. I have a feeling that she'll either die young or live to see her name on every expedition report.

Probable mutation[s] beyond standard modification: Chimerism and a complete lack of fear

I don't think cats would find chimeras as extraordinary as we do- that's just a tortie with extra flair as far as they are concerned. The strangest thing about Wallie to Etherclan is everything else about him. Partially because he is the 'youngest' cat of batch two and partially because of his small stature and round face, Wallie has been... babied more than he prefers. Acting out and taking charge is how he copes.

She and Orion form something of a comedy duo. She's the good cop to his bad cop. The Ernie to their Bert.

Crewmate Log: G667Cc-B2HX-CRX "Orion"

EMS Code: CRX fs DOB: 39 EPL [Eclipse Post Landing] Residence: Colony site 1 | Gliese 667Cc "Vegas" Notes: It is shame that my intellectual equal happens to also be the most insufferable cat in Etherclan. I can scarcely think of a single positive trait that could endear them to me. The only way that they could improve my disposition towards them would be by taking a vow of silence and never bothering me again.

Probable mutation[s] beyond standard modification: Enhanced cognition

I think the funniest part of Laika's dislike for them is the fact that the two of them actually share a lot of the same flaws- mainly their pride and refusal to consider the ideas of anyone they don't consider their equal on some level. His opinion of Laika is surprisingly positive, however. Orion sees her as his rival, constantly pushing him to improve. Laika does not recipricate.

Crewmate Log: G667Cc-B1AX-SIB "Antares"

EMS Code: SIB aus 642 DOB: 27 EPL [Eclipse Post Landing] Residence: Colony site 1 | Gliese 667Cc "Vegas" Notes: While it wasn’t intended, Batch one has been looked to for leadership from the day the junior batch was released. Antares is no exception. He may share a birthday with the rest of his batch-mates, however, he is who we all look to when a decision for Etherclan needs to be made. Perhaps it is how he carries himself? Noble, yet approachable. Antares has never failed this clan and I have every confidence he never will.

Probable mutation[s] beyond standard modification: Enhanced strength? Charisma?

As you can probably guess from this, Laika is a big fan of Antares- at his heels looking for advice or offering her aid. He’d never admit it but sometimes he avoids her to dodge the hero worship.

On another note, I REALLY wanted to kick off this posting week with another comic or illustration but I stopped liking a certain creature design so I’m tweaking it. Maybe at some point this week I’ll drop the concept art <3
