hey I always wanted to try out making an actual story with clangen but I ran into one specific issue every time. The cats kinda all act samey. Which is fine in friendly stories, but what if I want to do one of those 'evil clan' challenges. I have my scary, tyrannical leader and instead of yelling at their clanmates for something they have a kitten tell em about a feather that's stuck on their face. Do I just roll with it? Or should I mess with the files to make em all hate eachother??
Sorry for the long ramble I'm just desperate :(
My time to shine!
I LOVE writing characters. My method isn't amazing, but takes a little work. I also never really mess with the files unless my files are corrupted by dev. version.
I like to start at the bare minimum and look at the trait the game assigned them. For an evil clan, let's say a cat was born "righteous". Kind of the opposite of what you want.
Now think of all your favorite characters in TV, movies, media, etc that you would deem righteous. Off the top of my head -- Batman is righteous. We will use him.
How can Batman be written to be evil? Maybe if he believed in his cause too much, or was too driven by emotion so that he starts killing... Let's use "very emotional", as that is a trait not often used in evil clans.
So how can a kit born "righteous" become a tyrannical leader? If he is extremely emotional, he may take failure very personally, or see issues where there are none. Subsequent trauma -- such as the death of a littermate -- can shape an already emotional character's worldview and make them meaner, or colder, etc. So now he's a moody teen, angry at the world, and he gets in a little spat with a clanmate. If he loses, he feels angrier and weaker (which makes him overcompensate) or if he wins, he feels vindicated in that he made the right choice to fight.
View every major (or minor!) event in their life as a way to shape them to what you want to see.
Hope that helps!!!

I give up- I have five incomplete drawings now- with like... 3 that was deleted so.... I have 8? THAT'S TOO MUCH
Got any ideas? QvQ I need some creative assistance XD
The short answer is: DON'T GIVE UP!!!!
The long one would be: It is quite normal to have unfinished drawings, you can consider them as practice drawings,
An artists must be patient; projects require inspiration, effort, and a certain stubbornness.
I'm rooting for you >w<!!!
Meanwhile I will try not to think about how many drawings I have without an end date (there are even doodles from 2020!!😭)

Don't ever shy away from looking back to the days where you felt everything collapsing around you, breaking into pieces, creating a mess so immense that even that little thought in the back of your head about “things will get better soon” was like a nightmare come true. It was scary. Dark. Secluded. You were gripping onto your soft duvets as tightly as you could cause it felt like you were falling — falling into a deep pitch black pit, from where it was impossible to come out. And to not let the outer world hear the storm you faced in the corners of your room, you smiled. Even today, you've absolutely no idea how you were able to lift up those crevices of your face, with that aching pain in your heart to give off that beautiful smile of yours.
As much as you hate getting flashbacks of the cold nights you had spent even in the warmest of blankets, it's important. It gives you the enormous realisation of how far you came, from those dreadful moments of ending it all to this day where — You're breathing. You're alive. You're better. You're trying.
It's okay to think “what if I fall?”
Oh, but “darling, what if you fly?”
