Tachycardiaclan

..ok why am i being edgy over a stupid clangen save. um.

hi!! my name is liz, im making a clangen blog because i keep wanting to make one, but i keep forgetting.

THIS WILL BE TEXT-BASED! NO COMICS! except for maybe a few drawings if the plot gets evil... i wouldnt know...

^ this is because my brain is smooth and i dont want to abandon this, ive abandoned multiple other clangen blogs because i genuinenly couldn't handle drawing a lot and trying to figure out a cohesive plot.

^ text-based = all of the events will be written down, and there won't be much more than that. sorry.

my main account is @lizzyfizzy17 go butcher me on there

CONTENT WARNINGS

for now i'll just put the staples that are in the general plot of warrior cats.. this'll get updated!

TW/CW for: Warriors-typical Violence, Gore/Injuries, Death, Child Death and Abuse.

also just a less serious tw: HOMOSEXUALS AND TRANS CATS PROBABLY WILL SHOW UP!!!!!!!

"b-but liz why is there a dni-" i honestly dont know how to work a clangen blog but.. putting this here so i dont get any anons that make me uncomfortable.

DNI homophobes, terfs/transphobes and radqueers.

LINKS

ok hi before beating yall with a bajillion words of text im giving yall the needed links

START

MOON 0 ALLEGIENCES

WHAT IS THE MAIN PREMISE??? HOW WILL YOU POST??

kit challenge where all we have left are the babies! because that's awesome and totally not a setup for failure and mental torture.

posting schedule will be... evil. i do tend to run through clangen savefiles pretty quick (assuming im only writing down the least amount of info, ex: no crushes and no serious relationships outside of family and mates).. for all you know i could get to moon 7 on one day, and then post moon 8 next month.

there will be no clear posting schedule like weekdays or hours. sorry.

WHAT ARE THE SETTINGS??

mass extinction events - on

affairs - on

unmated breeding - on

pregnancy ignores biology - off

increased same-sex adoption - off

unknown second parent for kits - on

romantic interactions with former mentors - off

romantic interactions with cousins - off

automatically chosen deputy - off (you'll see why soon)

WHO INSPIRED YOU, LIZ????

gee that would be a LOT of people.... (6/16 update, tagging them because i am in fact the Evil French Liz I say i am.)

it's multiple because... my opinion varies! you'll never know if it's for the artstyle, plot, or both!

Anyways: @branchclangen, @crystalline-clangen, @heavens-gaze, @rooted-clangen and @daisyclan. yall are awesome. make the kitties bust a move. i love all of them.

WHAT ARE THE TAGS???

ok ok hold your horses...

#tachycardiaclan - ANYTHING relating to the clan

#tachymoons - moonskips, main moons

#tachyalleg - allegiences, usually yearly unless there is an extinction event

#tachynote - general lore that i've explained as a post/ask rather than doing it through moonskips. yes i know that "show dont tell" is one of the biggest rules when making a plot but my memory is bad.

#tachyart - any art i do regarding the stupids.... probably gonna be a little rare....

#tachyasks - asks people send in about the kitties....

#tachypoll - polls i do as an intermission! they usually happen when im bored and there's a handful of cats i havent seen people react to.

#tachy-(name) - the kitties in-game! kits and apprentices will be tagged with their warrior name. if they die early on.. still keeping the warrior name.... fun....

#ooctachy - mod notes

DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO TELL US??

no. we're jumping into this together. for all i know our main characters will all die on moon 4 or something.

ok bye!! have fun checking out this blog!!! i hope you stay safe and have a wonderful day!!!

Rainbowlake was lying on her back, her paws up as she stared blankly at the den's ceiling. She was only distantly aware of the sound of Scarletfur grooming his paws.

"..Scarlet." She murmured, closing her eyes for a moment before continuing.

"Do you think it.. That it would be okay if i wasn't.. Normal? I don't think I really like toms, and I don't think I'm a she-cat too."

Scarletfur blinked slowly, staring at her.

"..then what do you want to be?"

"I think.. I think I want to be in the inbetween. Like saying "They caught a rabbit!" instead of "She caught a rabbit!".." They paused, flopping onto their side to face Scarlet, their gaze wide with the fear of rejection. "..does that make sense?"

He nodded. "Personally, I think you need to be worrying about the lack of a medicine cat. But.. yeah. I'll use that for you for now."

Rainbowlake let out a loud purr. "Thank-"

But before she could get a good word in, Bitternholly burst into the den, panting. The black marbled she-cat looked terrified, but when her gaze landed on Scarletfur, she seemed to relax.

The tortoiseshell's fur bristled.

"Scarlet! You wouldn't- Hah- You wouldn't belive it, I was trying to reinforce the camp walls, and a snake fell down from higher up. It's like Starclan's out to get me."

Rainbowlake watched as the ginger tom got up to comfort Bittern, as he brushed against her, resting his head against her neck and purring his apologies.

..they'd never know that the cat behind them was the one that threw the snake in hopes Bitternholly would get hurt.

...

The medicine den was in higher hopes, Blissfoot was standing over her former nest, newly healed tail twitching back and forth.

Raggedfog was sprawled on it, his tail curled neatly against his side.

"..I ain't no medicine cat, but you were right about the cut. It's a splinter." She mewled, gaze narrowed with annoyance.

The ginger and cream tom grumbled, his voice a low growl until he heard soft footsteps. Sprucecone.

The identically-patterned younger tom stared at Blissfoot for a single moment before talking, his gaze narrowed. "..grab it with your teeth, Bliss."

The older she-cat did so, and the pain subsided.

..two similar cats, two different mindsets. Maybe that's a common difference between loners and Clan cats.

Rainbowlake is now nonbinary!

Rainbowlake tossed a snake "out of camp".

When Bitternholly panics about something, she thinks about Scarletfur to feel better.

Blissfoot's mangled tail healed!

Raggedfoot asks Blissfoot to look at a small cut on his leg.

Blissfoot gets excellent advice from Sprucecone about something she was worrying about.

yuri wins.

i dont know what to tell you guys clangen rng keeps screwing me over when i want a normal relationship between two characters.

also flickstar died trying to save her... extra fun.

anyways um

rainbowlake death counter: 2

flickstar death counter: 1

"liz why dont you have a screenshot?" because im evil. (i closed the game the second I saw a grieving message with Scarletfur & Rainbowlake. and im very scared of accidentally saving.)

Raggedfog walks back to camp, his whiskers twitching in annoyance as the sun heats up his thick fur. He carefully places his catches on the freshkill pile, letting out a soft huff at the lack of prey.

His plump mice were on top of pawfuls of scrawny mice.

Scrawny prey. In Greenleaf.

His gaze flicked to Blissfoot. The cream she-cat was washing her paws. she looked up at him blearily, eyes narrowed.

"..did they tell you anything about Thicket?"

"Nope," He mewed, tail twitching in annoyance as he glanced at the mentioned ginger she-cat. "They keep telling me that she's a Clan cat. That they have nothin' on her. No history, no kits, nothing. It'd be pitiful if I accepted that."

Blissfoot stretched, her paws slightly neading into the dirt floor of the camp.

"It's good that we're together in this then, eh? I went digging with the Clan near the marshes, and they said they don't know her."

"so..?"

"So this Clan is pointless, letting soft kittypets join even if they can't hold their weight. If they don't get a medicine cat by next Newleaf, then we should leave." She meowed matter of factly, getting back to grooming her pelt the second the words left her mouth.

The two former Bloodclan cats nodded, keeping their voices hushed as they continued bickering about future plans.

Hopfreckle physically bristled at the few whispers he caught, stiffening beside Thicketdapple.

She rested her tail over his pelt, her gaze narrowed at the two cats.

"..they know something that we don't, Hop. Let it go."

Raggedfog and Blissfoot swap secrets with each other.

//im sorry that this moonskip sucked.. there were no good events and i dont want every moonskip to be "oh hey an outsider joined who has signifigant lore with another non-founder"

#no hopfreckle dont blame yourself 🥺🥺🥺

(technical) CW: swearing.

The plan to get the two former-Bloodclan-warriors used to Clan life was... rough.

Blissfoot shifted awkwardly on her moss bed, grumbling at the lack of a medicine cat.

"Tell me," Flickstar meowed, carefully keeping her gaze blank.

"..do you even trust us? Is it true that you're running back to the Bloodclan camp to bring us down?"

The cream she-cat stayed quiet.

".it's not like I could anyways, not with my tail refusing to work as a tail." She huffed softly, her green eyes narrowed at the young leader.

Before Flickstar could respond, someone else entered the cramped den. Raggedfog. The cream and ginger tom didn't look any different from an average kittypet, outside of his glare.

"See? Look, I can tell you one thing. If anyone wanted me gone, little ol Ragged would've had a better excuse." Blissfoot mewed, her voice full of confidence.

The mentioned tom smirked, puffing out his chest. "See? If you were anything like us, or if you were born as a Bloodclan cat, you'd have the same amount of wit!"

Hopfreckle pushed beside him, his sunlit ice eyes wide. "He.. Flickstar, he might have a point. Yesterday Rainbowlake almost got in an argument with Bitternholly. Raggedfog doesn't get in fights with anyone, he's really smart-"

"-who's side are either three of you on?!" Flickstar yowls, her hackles rising and her fur bristling. "She was- She was supposed to be leader! She was the oldest out of all of us! She was the smartest out of all of us! She was the one that wore off her paws, day and night, just to take care of the rest of us!"

The two toms pause. Raggedfog looks away, huffing under his breath. Hopfreckle, however, seems to stop in his tracks.

"No, Flickstar- Wait-"

But even as he squeals, the dark gray tabby pushes past the two and leaves into camp.

...

Rainbowlake bristles as Flickstar drags herself out of camp, watching as she sulks and mutters her name under hear breath over and over.

Sprucecone nudges the tortoiseshell, his usually cold gaze softening slightly. "Kid, if I were you I wouldn't worry about it. If I were her age, being pushed around by cats four times my age despite being the one in charge? I'd start snapping at everything around me."

She pushes into his fur with a soft sob, the tension in her pelt finally snapping. Sprucecone nuzzles closer.

"..I bet you an entire moor worth of rabbits that it isn't about you. If it is.. Well, I'll tear that little furballs pelt off and use it for your nest."

...

When Flickstar finally stalks back into camp, the sun is setting and her pelt is covered in mud.

There's something behind her, though. A cat that makes Bitternholly and Scarletfur go quiet in the middle of their bickering.

An older, long-furred ginger she-cat. A she-cat with cyan eyes that seem.. A little too much like Scarletfur's.

"Holy shit." Bitternholy stood up, quickly stepping towards the new Clanmate. The black marbled she-cat quickly turns her head to Scarletfur, her gaze playful. "Do you think this might be your grandmother?"

The older she-cats eyes round with concern at the two younger cats swarming her, but Flickstar manages to get a word in before she gets to her den.

"Her name is Thicketdapple. I.. With the story about the badgers, I doubt your grandmother would've survived that."

Scarletfur gives a shallow nod, his eyes wide. "well... Welcome! Blood or not, you'll be a great asset!"

The she-cat pauses, her eyes blank before her voice breaks out into a loud purr.

"Damn.. Well, if I knew a Clan could be this nice, I would have joined much earlier!"

The rest of the evening is full of the sound of cats bickering, but none of them notice one crucial clue of how the Clan is holding up.

The day ends with Flickstar wide awake in her own nest, shaking softly as she attempts to stay quiet under the stress.

Thicketdapple, she/her. 105 moons old. Daring & Camp Keeper.

Flickstar found an interested kittypet on patrol. This cat is Thicketdapple.

Flickstar doesn't believe Blissfoot when she explains that a rumor about her is false.

Someone (Blissfoot) tells Flickstar that Raggedfog's stories are better.

Blissfoot depends on Raggedfog to back her up during a debate.

Hopfreckle believes that Raggedfog has endless potential that he keeps surpassing every day.

Flickstar calls out the Clan for targeting Rainbowlake.

Sprucecone promises to always look out for Rainbowlake.

Scarletfur and Bitternholly gossip about drama nobody else knows.

im um. im going to attempt a reset. if it doesnt work then i guess itd be really funny.

hi. i promised this. free role system of how the Clan functioned before the big incident on moon 0. (and technically moon -18 but... um.)

1: Leader

Tachycardiaclan ran on a monarchy before the incident. It started with the strongest cat in the founding group (let's call this guy Obsidian).

I can yap about him later. The leader is the highest role in the Clan.

A Tachyclan leader isn't different from a canon leader in the books, they have the same traits. 9 lives, they make meetings, they plan out and control battles, etc.

2: Deputy

this is where the whole monarchy bit comes into play.. oh boy...

The deputy is usually the leader's first-born. There are exceptions to this if the leader has no kits, then the deputy is either a close friend (ex: Nightingalestar & Wispspike, or Flickstar & Scarletfur) or a sibling. Leaders are expected to have an heir to take their role, so the exceptions are usually fixed withing a few moons.

If the leader has an heir but they aren't of age, then their sibling takes the role.

A leaders firstborn becomes the deputy the second they graduate. The "a warrior must have at least one apprentice to be a deputy" rule doesn't apply.

The deputy still has the same roles as a normal deputy, helping the leader with decisions and hosting patrols.

..if the deputy doesn't have a crush on anyone by the time they become an adult, they are forced to become mates with one of the most compatible cats in the Clan. This is to ensure that the bloodline doesn't die out.

in the case of a leader having a single kit and said kit being dead, their sibling would take the leader role instead. Usually a sibling that already has kits.

3: Medicine Cat

Medicine cats are the same as canon, minus the whole "no having kits/mates" bit.

i um.. i have nothing to say.. other than medicine cats being seen as very noble and clever. like some families get absolutely hyped when their kit turns into a medicine apprentice.

4: Warriors

Same as canon, nothing different.

5: Apprentices

Same as canon..

6: Kits

Kits are cared for very well. If a warrior or medicine cat finds an abandoned litter, they adopt them. If that cat is too young, then the leader adopts the kit.

Adopted kits don't qualify for deputy, unless all biological kits are dead.

7: Elders

oooh boy..... ok.. so... this is where it gets a little confusing...

The leaders of Tachycardiaclan had different perspectives, that's what lead to the downfall.

"nice" example: Sweetstar was.. well, sweet. She wanted a Clan that acted like a comforting and healthy community. Elders were praised for their hard work, like in canon.

"aggressive" example: Milkweedstar was hypocritical and bossy. He wanted a Clan that was powerful enough to scare the others off. Elders didn't exist, once a cat was 120 moons old they would be executed for being weak.

Tachyclan post-incident (ex: with Flickstar as leader) will treat the elders like canon.

the only difference is that warriors retire the second they reach 120 moons old.

hm yes... lore in a project where i am making this all up on the spot.... /nm

im literally just making up the plot on the spot. if you hopped on my pc, you'd see that the savefile is on moon 14.. so... free lore dump about the founders and general Clan stuff I wanted to give later.

nightingale is very visibly in hell... so are the others! but... we dont have genuine lore about them... on moon 0 we got no real reason why all of the adults died...

lss: Tachycardiaclan was really, really fucked up, including having a monarchy, and Starclan got sick and tired so they prompted the incident to occur.

(yap is below, i simplified it because im nervous that i yap too much)

ok so it all starts with the Clan's grandpa, Whiskermallow. (pic is below)

lil grandpa... he was 130 moons old at the incident. he was Charismatic & a Good Storyteller. would probably be the most stereotypical grandpa if he lived.

anyways.. he has two babies... Halffreeze and Foxglovefreeze. heh. siblings with the same suffix... (i did not plan that i was just lumping up founders into families based off looks)

Foxglove continued the bloodline so... Halffreeze is next! look at him! 94 moons old at the incident. Strict, Great Speaker & Good Storyteller.

here's Foxglovefreeze! she's the mama of Rainbow and Scarlet.... she was the founding medicine cat! 55 moons old at the incident. Rebellious, Excellent Teacher & Very Clever.

she also had another baby before our favorite founders! that cat is...

..Barkstripe! she's cool. but that might purely because im a sucker for marbled kitties and torties. she was 30 moons old at the incident. Vengeful and a Good Hunter.

now Bark and our favorite founders didnt have any kits... so... onto the next founder!

Wispspike! He's the founding deputy and the father to Bitternholly. again i am a sucker for marbled kitties so to me he is very, very pretty.. he was 37 moons old at the incident. Confident and a Fast Runner.

i dont have anything funny to say about Wisp or his wonderful daughter so we're jumping to our last founder!

Nightingalepelt/star! she's the only founder that actually showed up! woah! anyways she's the founding leader and the mama of Flickleaf/star. her baby is a copy-paste... aww....

anyways she was 111 moons old at the incident. she was Nervous and an Eloquent Speaker.

ok that's it i'll make a familyecho link when scarletflick kits are a thing.

or maybe clangen will screw me over and make scarletbittern kits a thing.... he likes both of them after all....

rainbowlake is frolicking in the meadows of joy! nothing bad has happened to her so far!

buuut... what i will do is... tell you how (i interpret) her views of the other kitties! (this is all her relationship bits i figured out on moon 14, expect this to change.)

Flickstar - absolute besties. not a speckle of evil in their relationship.

Bitternholly - one-sided hate. Bitternholly used to hate her but it's improving (now it's just dislike, begrudgement and doubt).. i gen dont know why they hate eachother. rainbow had a tiny crush on her for moon 6.

Scarletfur - good siblings! like Flickstar, their relationship hasn't went down at all!

aaand rainbow doesnt care about the outsiders. Hopfreckle thinks she's cool though!

the kitties are... doing pretty well!

nobodys sick (except for blissfoot, but tbf she joined with an injury) so i dont have to worry about hunting patrols!! yippee!!

i like the kitties a lot.... except for the whole thing between flickstar and scarletfur where they refuse to get together. like. ok. what more do you need.
