omg waittt, can I ask the kittypet that gave us lilacpaw? if so :

how many kits do you have? what are their names? what's YOUR name?? can we meet your partner? your very silly!!!!

[aphidclan-clangen]

Were there ever any time you overwrote the game (either via coding something in, closed the game before saving to try again, or even changing story events for the comic) because you thought it was better for whatever the story demanded? (If you have don't tell us what..... yet)

YES I have!! The biggest one is Gravel

In the game, Gravel was originally a random rogue that they met on patrol, she wasn’t related to anybody, they never joined the clan or interacted with anybody, and she had a really lame death offscreen after like. five moons lmao. BUT I wanted more for my purple trans sparklemom so I CODED HER BACK INTO THE GAME and now I get a much more interesting plot with her!

[aphidclan-clangen]

I desperately want to know as much as possible about these neon kitties UGHHHHH I LOVE THEM I have a few questions so here are a few of those few questions. First what does Paradiseskies think of Nimble and Berry? Given how motherly she seems I don't think she has anything against THEM themselves at the very least. Second if it's possible can we get a full relationship chart on the clan at some point? Just detailing what everyone thinks of each other? And lastly are the sparklecat traits - (1/2)

1. I think Paradiseskies can see how sad and lonely her husband feels, and she knows full well how separated they are right now, and possibly will be for a while. She feels bad for him and wants him to be happy. She would be okay with Pearlstar taking on a new mate while she’s dead, as long as they treated star right. I think she feels okay with Nimblekit and Berrykit, she doesn’t harbor any grudge towards them.

2. I would love to make one of those! Probably after the next few updates though

3. I know this isn’t at all how nuclear radiation functions in real life but. yeah pretty much lol

The Watsonian reason for why they’re sparklecats is because they were born close enough to the factory, the Doylist reason though is just because I wanted to draw sparklecats lol

so what's your process for designing characters?

Man people keep asking me how do I design characters, how do I make characters, how do you pick characters genders, etc. and I feel SO bad because I!! There is no process!! Especially with designing AphidClan characters in particular, my process is EXTREMELY wild and intuitive and spontaneous and very “just wing it first try it’ll be fine. I totally won’t hate it 3 months later ((I will and I do))”

I. I don’t know how to explain it. Like. Alder for example, I knew Lilacpaw was this kind of pinkish purple with an orange gradient, so I wanted her dad to be pinkish purple and her mom to have the orange gradient, so when it came time to design him, I jus. made him purple. and that’s all he is there isn’t any thought put into this, this is a. Random, not professional at all, “I made a quick concept sketch as my first and only attempt, he came out purple, that’s all he is, just purple” and “I got it first try” bullshit, and everything else about his design happened because. it felt right, and I never questioned that, so now hes. alder. he exists now. “how did you make him?” i don’t know but he sure as hell is here now

That’s how I make literally all of my character designs and decisions, especially since this is just a Warrior cats blog that I do as a fun “low-effort” hobby. I had a single idea of “rainbow,,,” it felt right, I never questioned it, it happened, I made a single quick sketch of concept art as prep to solidify what already existed in my brain, and now it exists, and then 4 months and 10 updates later I become deeply unhappy with the design and I try all over again lol. It’s extremely extremely intuitive for me, it’s all just feeling. I don’t really follow any professional tips or legitimate art techniques, I don’t really make concept art, half of the time the characters first appearance in a moon update or ask response is literally the first time I’ve ever drawn them, as you can tell from the Fire/Gravel kids and their extensive “gradually redesign them piece by piece over each moon until I decide I hate all of it and start over entirely” process which is NOT something I’d recommend for a webcomic or any legitimate art project you want to take seriously or professionally!! I don’t really. have a process, I just start drawing the moon update and they appear lolol

Ik Blisswhistle's kits have been here a while, but is Badgerkit paralyzed? Or are they just in the middle of crawling or something

It’s just the pose lol, she’s trying to crawl

[aphidclan-clangen]

What are alder and his(?) mate’s pronouns? Will we ever get a ref sheet (I love Pigeon’s mustache and they’re all so cute!<3)

1. Alder’s pronouns are he/they, Pigeon’s pronouns are he/him, and Titania’s pronouns are she/her!

2. probably eventually. I’ll get to it someday lmao, my adhd is allergic to the backlog of character ref sheets I need to draw

Lil headcanon:

Bliss got rainbow toe beans, inherited from Pearlstar.

hell yea man I love when toe beans rainbow

[aphidclan-clangen]

haiii!! heres a lil fic about pearlstar having self doubt and anxiety!! :3

I don’t always stay calm. That much is obvious. But I just wish... that for once, I could. I want to be calm. Breathe, breathe, breathe. And stay out of my head. I’m always in my head. I’m so absorbed in my own problems, while the land withers around me. 

The rot that consumes this wretched place will not make its way into my heart. Not just yet... Because, because i’m fine. There isn’t... anything wrong... No, no.

This is perfectly fine! I may not always be able to breathe well, and sleep is always tough, and prey is scarce... but! Its. Its fine. 

I can’t complain, others have it so much worse. Think of Lilacpaw! Flower didn’t even get to live her life! And here I am, sitting in self pity. Its shameful, really. I have no right to complain of my own problems. Because I really am fine! You need to stop worrying about me.

Stop looking at me. Dont perceive me. Do I really exist to you? This tidal wave envelopes me. A rush of blood, to my throat, to fall out of consciousness is all I request. Please, please, take me away. Take me to the skies, let me see the stars for once. I would be gone if I weren’t so... cowardly. That’s.... just what I am, huh?

Trees are falling, i’m falling. Falling, falling, fell. It would so much easier for me to lay back down, and let the earth grow back over me. But I just can’t. I cant do it to myself. I would love to fall back into deep sleep. But. I can’t do it over again. I can’t bear it. My life is loss. I am loss. Lost, lost, lost.

In my place of living, in my home, I shouldn’t feel so... trapped. I wish to be free of burdens. Free of the weights. I don’t want to do it anymore. Let me be free. I just wanna hear you say, “its alright”. Just tell me... its gonna be alright. These life don’t comfort me. For I only harbor doubt and regret.

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye. Take me away to a no man’s land, where I can stay away from those who haunt me so. Let me run, and run, and run away. I need to go. I need to leave. Where am I. Where have I been.

ouuugh my heart. my heart. oughhhh Pearlstar wishing and hoping to be with his wife. “take me to the skies. let me see the stars for once.” “the rot that consumes this wretched place will not make its way into my heart” like what it did to his children,,, Pearlstar feeling guilty over the death of his apprentice,,, ooughhhhh you’ve killed me

[aphidclan-clangen]

Yeah of course it’s alright!! I’d love to read it!! (if you feel comfortable with that)

Paradiseskies it’s mentioned u and Pearlstar had a couple of litters but most (other then Blisswhistle) died from a disease but we haven’t seen them up in starclan with u and Lilacpaw so there they up there and we just haven’t seen them yet or is it something else?

[aphidclan-clangen]

Hey Bliss and Gold! Heard about the Pregnancy!! Congrats!

Do you know how many kits you'll have?? IF so,Have you guys though of any names of the kits??

Btw creator your designs are eye candy to me!!!

(thank you!!)

[aphidclan-clangen]

Nimblekit, do you also want to get fishnets?

[aphidclan-clangen]

Spiderglade do you have any idea why you've ended up in the darkforest?

[aphidclan-clangen]

au where paradiseskies is in the dark forest, and spiderglade is the starclan guide?????

That’d be cool! Paradiseskies with a warped and creepy dark forest form and Spiderglade greeting Lilacpaw on the other side like “yo what’s up”
