OH

Happy Trans Day of Visibility × Easter (or "Treaster" if you're in the know) everyone! I'm Taxi/Tassy/Juju and today I am ALL of those things. I make video games and draw funny animal people, often at the same time!

(music by wheel_able)

If you'd really like to support my personal work, I've got a patreon and a ko-fi, but if you've only got a little to spare, PLEASE consider giving it other transfolk who need it more than I do. For now, enjoy my wildly inconsistent output~! (´▽`ʃƪ)

Rainshade Hilda!

Always out to make new friends, and ready to parry the enemies. Rainshade Hilda - Commission with @pyroraptor42-art

Inspired by Hilda's raincoat in the comics, and this one game I've been following - where the main character makes new friends & defends themselves from enemies w/ umbrella. The raincoat also has animal ears ( as the game's universe has both human and anthropomorphic animals )

also, same dev working on Deltarune btw. Really looking forward to this game 👀

mob warriors au redesigns and such, some i barely changed and others i pretty much started from scratch lol

full canvas and explanations under the cut, theres a bunch of other characters and stuff i didnt manage to fit or didnt have the energy to draw that ill probably get around to in the coming future

so by virtue of mob psycho kind of acting as a parody of a shonen in a lot of its characters and usage of tropes i felt like it was fitting that a warriors au sort of act as a parody of warriors.

basically, pretty much every major character is either a house cat of some sort, but they all see clan cats as these sort of cool aspirational things so they give themselves warrior names and know of general clan concepts (though, since the nearby clan left a long time ago due to twoleg construction on their territory, these concepts have sort of become distorted over time. istg i came up with this before warriorclan me and erin hunter just have some odd psychic link)

saltsplash (reigen) is a declawed kittypet who loves the taste of freshkill, so he has taken on the persona of a former medicine cat who came from far away on some sort of spiritual quest to help the cats in this area (in reality his owners just moved here) in order to get cats to catch prey for him in exchange for advice. flockpaw (mob) comes to him for advice, since he can see spirits and keeps getting dreams from starclan, and saltsplash agrees to take him as an apprentice

there is a pretty significant ghost problem in the area, the destruction of the moonstone equivalent (this isnt the setting of og warriors because i find switching what region/biome theyre in to be kind of part of the fun to making warriors aus so this is still japan. cats can now encounter monkeys.) has left a lot of souls trapped in the physical plane and unable to pass on. dimple (still going back and forth on his name) is one of these cats, he was a clan cat but so long ago that he's forgotten his original life and only remembers the goal of "bring back the clans with yourself as leader", which he initially tries to posses random cats to do before meeting flockpaw and settling on him as a good potential clan leader

the actual clans, meanwhile, have gone way downhill since they moved away. their numbers were dwindling pretty badly when hawkstar (toichiro) took over his clan, renamed it clawclan, conquered the other clans in the area and marked all his dissenters with scars, and has forged forward with the goal of reconquering their old territory in the twolegplace in the hopes that it will bring the clans back to their glory days. a lot of the more sensible cats, including his mate, have left the clan, so he's resorted to recruiting outsiders as well as kidnapping young cats with warrior potential in order to fill out their numbers

other stuff i dont want to write entire paragraphs for

-teru was someones outdoor cat but his owners moved :( he named himself starpaw and everyone who knows shit about the clans tries to tell him hes not allowed to do that but are too scared to argue further with him about it because he gets really pissed when you point it out

-the telepathy clubs goal is to meet lions, which everyone thinks arent real

-the awakening lab is mitsuura (curlystar maybe?)'s attempt to start his own clan

-the student council is a gang of young kittypets who have tasked themselves with enforcing "the warrior code" among the delinquents (rivals gangs of young alley cats). all the older cats see this as a game theyre playing and dont take it seriously

-flashpaw (mezato) was part of dimple's initial play to brainwash a bunch of cats into reforming a clan and worshiping "starclan" (him) and those group of cats have shifted to seeing flockpaw as starclans prophet, so she's trying to convince HIM to start a new clan

-rainshade (serizawa) was initially a kittypet who always hid in his cat carrier out of his fear of his starclan given powers, hawkstar found him on one of his recruiting missions because his mother was worried for him and was asking around for someone with experience with starclan

-mogami (crowflight maybe? maggotsomething?) was an actual former warrior who went to twolegplace to get help for his sick mother after starclan said there was nothing that could be done for her. kittypets offered to get her help in exchange for him helping them with spirit problems and got their owners to bring her to the cutter (vet) and when they did the vets put her down so he started killing cats about it seeing them all as selfish thugs beyond redemption before his own death and transformation into a vengeful spirit

-minori (still thinking of a name bc i dont have her design down) is someones very haughty purebred show cat who gets hella possessed.

-didnt anyone ever teach you feeding downed fledglings was bad manners?

-SunClan (the rising sun union) are a gang of random housecats, some of whom have actual StarClan connections and others are just opportunistic liars, who use extremely predatory means to help cats with their ghost problems (asking for a specific share of a cat's meals permanently rather than saltsplash's ask of like. one fresh songbird)

thats all the stuff i can think of off the top of my head but if you ask questions i can probably answer them bc ive been thinking about this since like. march 2022.

Moon 193 Part 7

I imagine cats have varying levels of StarClan connections ….. I think Fernpaw’s near death experience gave him an incredibly strong StarClan connection - maybe he WAS fated to die there but it didn’t happen ….

For cats like Ebonystorm and Azalea who joined the Clan at a way older age and had never heard of StarClan in their lives, they don’t really have a connection to SC. They’ll still go there of course but they don’t really care about it

Brindlestar, being the leader, has a pretty big StarClan connection

Serpentpaw too, cause StarClan likes him :3

Rainshade…. He grew up in a DF centred Clan and grew a disdain for beliefs centred around afterlives in general - he’s aware StarClan exists by this point but he doesn’t feel comfortable with them (he doesn’t want to feel controlled by an afterlife) and also partially blames them for everything that’s gone wrong . His SC connection is nonexistent lol

Beetlebud is just average. Just an average SC connection. Not too strong not too weak. StarClan doesn’t feel much about him and he doesn’t feel much about them

Paleghost can visit StarClan whenever they want, as they were a reincarnation for a while. They actually don’t give much of a fuck about StarClan or the DF. They like to stay out of that stuff

Wolfeyes is a special boy . StarClan likes him. He’s also the med cat so

[whispering-clan]

Grassheart PMV WIP

Grassheart is a clangen character from my main save, HorizonClan. Her design is a bit complicated, so it may be inconsistent, sorry, but I'm working hard on this PMV, which was inspired by this video by "flypaw" or on tumblr as– @through-frost-and-flames Check it out if you haven't– it's really good.. And also.. kinda sad.. but still.. I like it.

I took inspiration from this PMV in the sense that Grassheart here is.. like Rainshade in the original, cursed with losing a lot of family and more specifically her kits.. She lost all of her first litter within a short timespan, there were five kits in that first litter she had.

(PMV PAST THE CUT BELOW)

: Events seen in PMV, in order :

• Grasskit(brown kit) as a little kit with her mother Whorlpounce(gray cat) and brother Snapkit(off white colored kit)

• Grasskit and Snapkit slightly older.

• Grasspaw and Snappaw sitting at Whorlpounce's grave after her death.

• Grassheart and Snapskitter as new warriors, looking very happy about it.

• Grassheart, now a mother, with her litter of kittens , Thornkit(brown), Dustkit(tabby), Cricketkit(brown speckled), Dropletkit(blueish) and Lionkit(white speckled)

• Dustkit is removed because she died.

• Very rushed drawing that I made of rouges coming into camp in the middle of the night.

• In said rouge attack, both Snapskitter who had a spinal injury at the time, and Cricketpaw are killed in the attack.

• In the same moon, Thornpaw was also killed when the rouges attacked a patrol.

• Just sad Grassheart.. nothing else to it.

• After that point, it is unfinished, but I typed what event I'm planning to put there on the video, so if you're curious for now, read that.

*UNEXPECTED UPDATE* I got Lionkit's design wrong. Weirdly enough despite her warrior name Lionspeckle, she isn't speckled like she is in the PMV. I'll fix the more simple frames for the final product, but not her death frame or the kitten frames.

The song I used is found below:

Moon 26.

(Got the order of Flaxkit and Auburnkit mixed up, Flaxkit is the cream one and Auburnkit is the red one)

[demonsteapot]

saw someone i follow doing this so

introducing all my ocs in a comprehensible format from my master ref sheet (of which only these two are done)

changes include: nova's hair (she has ahoge now, idk why) she has a halo (surely this doesn't mean anything bad for her) and that rose is now part of her. vivian is basically unchanged lol~

November 'Nova' Harley (she/they/it): Demon afflicted with 'life' magic, one of the most grotesque types. Hates herself. Sometimes has an angel halo of the 'thorn crown' type, which could mean nothing, but is probably quite a bad sign. Used to be friends with Viv.

Vivian Leyland (he/they?): Demon afflicted with temperature magic, a more normal but still dangerous type. Works for Rust Monitor's Moss-Eaters unit, under Bronnie. Useless in any sort of social situation, but handy with a rainshade.

[shocks-silly-clangens]

Newt : warriors apprentice, he/him pronouns, currently 10 moons old (as of moon 85)

Direct Family (as of moon 85)

Civetmallow (dad), Rimesprout (mom), Spider (brother), Moth (sister), Frog (brother), Whirlwind (half-sister), Pantherfrond (half-sister), Tumblehope (half-sister), Shiverwood (niece), Ivyfleck (niece), Shimmer (nephew)

Distant Family (aka family members who are dead or not in her direct family)

Blissbat (grandfather, deceased), Rootglint (uncle), Lilacfern (uncle), Toffee (uncle-in-law), Creststripe (cousin), Kitetuft (cousin), Bonedust (cousin), Bloombumble (cousin), Dusty (cousin), Sandy (cousin), Pine, Peak, Pin, Peat, Parsley (all second cousins?)

Personality (as of moon 85)

Newt is quite an excitable and ambitious young cat. He has many major goals he wishes to achieve in life, including becoming the deputy. He looks up to Sungrazer, the current deputy, quite a lot and wishes to be just like him. He is well loved and adored by many cats. There has yet to be a cat who forms a dislike towards him and his rambunctiousness.

Kithood

Newt’s kithood was relatively uneventful, though there were a lot of kits who were born or brought into the nursery while he was there. He loved playing with any and all kits in the nursery at the time, which often resulted in small ‘incidents’ with someone getting hurt a small bit from too much roughhousing. Usually it would be younger kits trying to play with him, but sometimes it was him with older kits.

Apprenticehood

Newt has proved to be quite a defiant cat in his apprenticeship, as he does not listen to his mentor Rainshade all that much. He’s embarrassed himself many times by not listening to the tom, even getting himself buried in snow. He is a small bit jealous of his sister Mothflight, due to her doing so much better than him in training and graduating so early.

Notes

-he’s just a silly guy who likes to climb trees :)

-he wishes Moth and Spider would try to get out of their ‘shell’ more often

-same family stuff for Moth also applies to him and his brothers

-him and Spider look the most like their mom Rimesprout
