Welcome to Mantisclan

Hey guys!! It’s Sasha (he/him) and this is my improvisational clangen blog. My main is @lockandkeyhyena and I post about warrior cats and all things that interest me there. I finally caved and decided to create a clangen blog. The presentation of updates and such will likely vary a bit before I settle into a proper groove, as well as the artstyle varying due to my inability to keep my style consistent, but I hope you stick along for the ride!

I plan on tackling some dark themes with this clangen and will not be shying away from depicting tragic in-game events. Currently, however, the tone is relatively lighthearted.

Here’s all you need to know before diving in!

Mantisclan, Snailclan and Cricketclan live alongside one another in a verdant forest on the outskirts of twoleg civilisation.

here’s a post i made on mantisclan! though if you want more specifics i’d be happy to answer another ask :)

Bluesky’s leg has healed!

Locustpond came face to face with an angry rogue during a border patrol. The rogue was chased off but Locustpond was left with a mangled leg.

While gathering herbs, Blisseyes stumbled across the rapidly cooling body of a new queen, her kits clinging helplessly to the lifeless molly. Instantly jumping into action, Blisseyes brings the kits back to camp.

Billowwhisker’s ghost now wanders. Saplingkit, Gladekit and Ivykit joined the clan.

It's pretty fun to do here's some of my favorite designs

Snailwhisper my favorite girl failure!

I gave her a brother too I saw the name Garlicpaw and had the perfect idea

Moon 38

Locustpond has recovered from yellowcough!

Nothing else significant happened this moon.

Moon 39

Magnoliapaw became Magnoliabelly!

Magnoliabelly gave Perditofog maple seeds as a gift! Perditofog decided to wear them on her pelt.

Sunsap has been dealing with particularly bad phantom pain in her missing leg.

when you highlight text there should be the option to insert a link!

Osprey is very silly :> (first doodle is based on that one time I saw an osprey)

Bonespeckle and Dovewhisker
