since it’s a scary time to be trans: refuge restrooms is an app which maps gender-neutral/single-stall restrooms. it’s community-mapped, so it’s possible you might be the first person to log the restroom locations, but hopefully it’ll help some people.
please reblog this post if you’ve got trans followers. stay safe.
// sometimes i feel that i should go take ask-shitetsu back as the blog name and just do ooc meta posts anyways
like
taking out the "ask-" part of the name makes it feel like ive lost part of the identity of an ask blog ya know
“I HATE BEING IN CHOIR” I sing in pitch while practicing choir and very easily being able to quit the class
"I HATE PLAYING GUITAR" I scream while playing guitar for an hour minimum every day out of my own free will and enjoyment
Was relistening to TMA while drawing and suddenly heard the MOST banger line of all time from Micheal and instantly rushed to add it to Parasite’s intro post because HOLY SHIT IT WAS SO PARASITE CODED
Adding onto this:
GWENOM PLEASE. PLEASEEEEEEE
Ok top 10 wishlist for Beyond the Spider-verse Spider characters
1. Spiders-Man
2. Spinstress (assuming she gets a song)
3. Kwaku Anansi
4. Lady Spider (i know we glimpsed her in the background, but I want May Rieley steampunk action!)
5. Emissary of Hell (mech battle with Peni?)
6. Night Spider
7. Either Turn Off the Dark Spider-Man (who can join in Spinstress’ number) or Spider-Monster (Grover)’s parody there-of, in either case they need to crash into someone at a key moment
8. Arachknight
9. Silk
10. Ben & Petey
Me when multi shipping:
“I- oh, right!” Humans introduce themselves you idiot you’re supposed to know how to act human you’ll never find a host if you continue to act like this-
“I’m… Alice..? And, I guess you could say I’m a symbiote…” what was the word for it “Researcher, of sorts. Symbiote things, I gather knowledge and… Opinions about them, I guess. I… Guess I’m supportive of symbiotes.” Not entirely a lie.
Parasite-Alice stepped out a bit more from the shadows, their head tilted at an angle that had to hurt.
“May I ask, who are you? Obviously a vigilante. Are you one of the spider-creatures?”
Please say they were mistaken and this was some other vigilante please say it was mistaken-
“Hey, you! Spider…”
Parasite Alice paused, trying to regain control of their host’s body again why did they keep on fighting Parasites control why did they pick a host that was so difficult we need a new host soon FIND ONE
“What do you… What’s your opinion on symbiotes? What do you know about them?”
Parasite-Alice leaned up against a fire escape, her expression blank and emotionless.
Gwen froze and pulled her mask back down, spinning on her toes to face the newcomer. She hadn't even realized someone was there. She had to get a grip.
She tried not to seem too out of breath or panicky, but they'd likely be well aware if they'd been there for any time at all. They hadn't mentioned it yet, however.
It took a moment to process their question. She had to get a grip first. There wasn't a clear threat.
"...In theory? They're very interesting," That was flat. Not enough. This was a biology question, she liked biology. "I mean, I don't know a lot. But parasites are always interesting to learn about." She didn't know why this was one of the topics she always hedged on. Realistically, she knew her feelings. But this was one of the things where she had to test the dirt, to find her footing, before she could state her opinion. Especially because she still didn't know this person.
"I don't have anything against them. Certainly not the hosts, they are actively hurt in the exchange," She wrung her hands together. Paused. "I think my interest lands in what is best for the host and what they prefer." That shouldn't have been too far. No matter the harm inflicted on others, the host was a person in the exchange. And yet she found her grimacing as if she'd stated the most controversial opinion in the world. It was stupid.
"Uh, may I ask who you are? And what your opinion is?"
I mean… Compared to other congress members (and what a certain trumpeter chose for the department of health and different departments), at least he didn’t actively choose to participate in the war crimes and was not only forced too, but is working to fix it, so like. The bar is on the floor, you gotta understand
I’m asking you guys the same damn question.
Might be a bit quiet around here for a while - I'm moving! I thought I'd have a bit more time for the comic in between packing and cleaning and whatnot, but I've been busier than I expected.
Regular activity here may not pick back up 'til late May, once I've gotten settled in, but we'll see! I'll make an effort to be present in moments of downtime. :)
The chasm akumatizes animals..
THIS IS SO FUNNY I'M LOSING MY MIND
Before I get around to Moon 9 I'm gonna try and take some time to answer the asks that've been sitting in my inbox! I've been so hyperfixated on drawing comic pages, but I think now's a good time to start working on getting a few of those asks out. :)

A Discord for the ClanGen Community!
Hiya friends! @boughclan-clangen, @direclan, @ranchclan and I got together and, with a lot of love and brainstorming, created the ✨CLANGEN CREATOR COMMUNITY DISCORD!✨
This is a place (a Gathering, if you will) for ClanGen comic artists, writers, creators, and fans alike to share WIPs, participate in monthly events, promo their clans, and, of course, make friends! 💖
There's no barrier to entry - anyone who loves ClanGen blogs can join! We hope to see all of your twitching whiskers and waving tails over there. :3
(Clan icon made by @boughclan-clangen!)
Huge shoutout to direclan for doing all the physical labor of putting the server together! The community is open to all, fan and creator alike - we can't wait to geek out with y'all about our fave clangen comics :D
JOIN THE CLANGEN CREATOR COMMUNITY!
Soooo @boughclan-clangen, @nimbusclan, @ranchclan and I noticed that there's not really a server dedicated to the Clangen comic community (comics, writing, fans, puzzle solvers, etc.). So we decided to make one!
Also - you don't have to have an active comic/story to join. This is just a place for the community to gather and make friends!
(If the link is broken, just DM me and I can send a new one :3)
Boughclan even made the pfp for the server! We'd love y'all to join and hang out with us and other creators in this community! 💖
clangen comic community discord
hi folks! @direclan, @nimbusclan, @ranchclan and i got together and created a general discord for folks in the clangen comic community. this discord isn't centered around any of our comics or around the game itself--it's for artists, writers, and fans alike to get together to hang out, make friends, and check out each other's work.
we're aiming for this to be a mutually supportive collective of folks who love clangen and the art that derives from it. if this sounds fun to you, please feel free to join us!
Hello my friends! I'm working on Moon 7 and I can't decide -
I've been using a color layer set to multiply while the cats are in their den to make them appear darker (y'know, like they're in the dark) but I can't tell if it's TOO dark and makes it harder to see.
Anyone have any opinions? Should I ditch the multiply layer or is it easy enough to see even though it's desaturated?
lowkey obsessed w Wheattail and Bouncecloud’s designs especially….. is there perhaps any lore to share for them ?
Aaah, I'm so happy you like their designs!!
Wheattail's in-game characteristics are loving, skilled mediator, and valuable insight. He and his mate, Windvalley, were both the same age when they died - 97 moons! He acted as deputy for a very short time while Murkstar, the leader at the time, waited for her son to become old enough to take on the role.
Bouncecloud's in-game traits are righteous and great fighter. She died tragically young at 19 moons when she got trapped on patrol. :') As such, she didn't have much of a hand (paw?) in raising her son, Cliffstripe. As an apprentice, desperate to prove her worth despite being half-kittypet, she excelled so well that she graduated two whole moons early!
Here are their sprites :)
Happy WIP Wednesday! Here's a messy thumbnail sketch from the upcoming Moon 7 :)
A late thank you for all the kind words on this ask! Y'all are too dang sweet 🥹🫶
Featured kitties and kind word sayers from left to right are: Mapledash of @whirlclan, Mousethorn from @cutieclangen, Gutterrat from @gutterclan, Oliveshade from @ranchclan, Clawstar from @direclan, ??? from @astray-clangen, and Greyswoop from @boughclan-clangen!
I promise promise I'm working on Nimbus stuff!! I've got like sixty things I'm tryna draw at once, forgive me
Work has been rather hectic for me lately and I've been swamped with petsitting in addition, so I haven't had much time to draw - but I'll get around to it!
The results are in! The comic format will remain unchanged :)
Hi friends! I'm wondering if uploading page by page instead of by moon would be preferred by readers or not - what do you think?
(For reference, current moon updates average about 3 or 4 pages)

Happy Valentine's Day! 💖
I drew some of my fave clangen ships! Most of these aren't canon (yet? 🥹) because I love yearning and misery, obviously
Rivercall and Goldrun from @castaway-clan - they live rent free in my head all the time forever. why is Goldrun falling asleep on Rivercall? Who knows but I'm sure the man could use a nap
Larchmask and Lightchaser from @tidalclan - I JUST THINK THEY'D BE SO CUTE OKAY
Erminepaw and Songpaw from @loudclan-clangen - when do they get to be happy
I've been spending so much time hunched over my drawing tablet that when I stand up straight my spine cracks
