If Jestrelstar dies they can found a dead dads club

He's not too excited about dying yet...

Anyway I know it was a typo and probably unintentional but Jestrelstar got me thinking of a CircusClan themed Kestrel so uh

Thanks to @circus-clangen for being the slayest <3

I’m curious, does goldmask check in/care about her daughter? She wouldn’t have a bad or negative stat at her birth (typically in clan.gen the platonic like is really high),,, maybe she lurks at the edges of her dreams saying comforting words or maybe she’s lurking around the edges of Ringstar’s dreams ready to beat him to death with a flip flop

so, you said that the anon writing about the abandoned circus is so close to something. does that mean circusclan might be a "ghost town" so to speak? are they even alive? are these flashbacks? is ringstar hallucinating and making all this up? and is it orchestrated by his former mate (i forget her name rip)?

[circus-clangen]

trans tigertoe and her dead name is lion[insert prefix here]

Love how after that post about their opinions it was basically

Others: kill him again, burn him again

Me: holy shit this is awesome rep of a victim of abuse, even if it was accidental, which i doubt

I am definitely SUPER intrigued by the different responses to Ringstar.... He's a very. Troubled individual.

Why is Clownwish so hot

He'd kill me and I'd thank him

Anywho! It looks like that puzzle may have led to another...

Hi!! Fellow clan gen comic creator here, i check your blog regularly and you are so fast with updates! And nothing looks rushed or messy (well, messy in a bad way, i know your style is sketchy and sort of glitchy which is why i like it) how do you keep everything so updated all the time?? I struggle makeing one comic in just a week.

ArE yOu A wIzZaRd???

HAHA so FULL disclosure for everyone reading this: My upload schedule is about to change because I'm moving in a week and am going to be searching for a job 😭

BUT to answer your question: I have ALWAYS drawn fast. From when I started art some 8 years ago, I had no trouble whipping out 4-5 drawings every day, sometimes more. DOESN'T MEAN THEY WERE GOOD but I just hit the ground running when it came to art. AND because of that, I've built up more line confidence, and have been able to teach myself to draw cleaner even as I draw faster. In 2021 I even made 1+ finished drawings every single day 😭 (here's that if you wanna see it). Also last February I drew one OC 69 times in like 20 days.... TLDR: I've always been this way, and so I've just kind of adapted to it. PLUS it helps that cats are faster to draw than people (in my mind; people are my primary subject matter) Here are some tips, if you Do wanna draw a little faster: 1. Nail down an art style, in general, and for each individual character. It's WAY easier to draw quickly if you already known how each part of the drawing is going to look (i.e. You draw eyes This way and you draw bangs This way and you shade skin This way and you use These colors)(I personally have one color pallet I use in every drawing)

2. If you can't clearly picture a drawing in your head going into it, let it marinate for a little longer, and come into focus. If you know down to the linework how you want your piece to look, you don't have to hesitate as much going into it.

3. FORGO the sketch, even if its just for practice! Try to draw your character starting with the lineart, thats what I do for my asks especially

4. Take breaks! Don't always force yourself to make art. Some of my best improvement happens after I've quit art cold turkey for weeks or months at a time. You draw faster when you're inspired and have a fresh, clear picture in your head Hope this helps!

Also by chance are you a fan of the magnus archives

I am not, I don't know anything about it 😭 BUT I've been asked this more than once so perhaps that means something....

"wow Circusclan has such cool characters!" Circusclan characters:

[circus-clangen]

may we get gender/pronouns and potentially orientation in the cats' refs?

They've all got their gender on their refs in my intro post! And as far as orientation, I'm interpreting clangens romance stats as I see fit depending on the situation. There's too much crime and insanity in this clan for silly things like Romance (except tigertangle they dont count I love them)

[circus-clangen]

Wait, the circus being abandoned would explain why outside of the cats, we've only seen an elderly tiger. No humans, not even when a place caught fire, no one

They're alone

Fascinated by this theory....

Carnival of Rust by Poets of the Fall feels like it might be a Tigertoe song? At the very least, the music video fits the aesthetic of this blog! - Hornet Anon

HAHA Oh what an ACID trip of a music video-- You're right, that is VERY Circusclan

[circus-clangen]

Just so you know, I LIVE to see Clown flirt with Trapeze. It is my FAVORITE THING

Every day Trapeze becomes more and more willing to go to prison

ASKBOX DUMP 1 BELOW CUT 🎪

Ringstar said "Go make some friends" and Clownwish said "bet :)"

They do both be rocking that side braid 🤩

Or both <3 (you're correct)

OOO this one's almost got like that 1980s-1990's beat going on, I like it 🤩It does gave circusclan vibes

Oh I LIVE for the songs that are like... abandoned carnival. Gooseworx "end of the universe" has the same vibe to me! This is so good...

DANG.... YOU RIGHT.... VERY GoldRing. I have so many GoldRing songs in the playlist.... I will relent and give you all this one for now....

🅱️eans

YEAH it does.... whimsical but dark circus music is such a vibe

OOOH it does 👁️👁️

[circus-clangen]

so is goldmask... dead? or "dead"?

Depends on what you mean by "dead"..........
