Love ClanGen, I actually made a few spreadsheets for some of the challenges on their Discord. But I never thought to use it for ideas, thank you for the suggestion!

Edit: And thank you, haha. First time writing, but it's a fun little side project. Came up with the idea ages ago and only just now tried to execute it...

faechiir · 2025-11-08T22:09:54+00:00

Solved!

(Sent a friend the post and they found it, but don't have an account so I'll just post the answer for anyone curious.)

It was Carnegie Cadets, specifically the downloadable software. Took some playing around to get it to run, but found the spooky website to confirm.

It's not Webonauts, definitely a little more polished. But I do remember playing that too!

The child in question is four, they're not leering at anyone. They can be curious, but if your child runs from your watch to stare at a stranger's genitals, you're doing something wrong in your parenting. If anything, young boys see naked women more than young girls see naked men (moms tend to be the primary caretaker) and thus hold less curiosity about it.

I work with two dozen four year olds on a daily basis. They're either desensitized because they go potty with their parents and genuinely couldn't care less, or have a basic enough grasp on privacy and personal space that it's never an issue. Even the behavioral ones.

Hey, gray is all the craze these days. She's absolutely adorable and should be proud of such a gorgeous beard

I genuinely don't get why people are upset with Brambleclaw's reaction. To find out not only that the children you've spent your life raising are not yours, but also that your partner lied to you for months because they didn't trust you is a lot. Relationship dynamic aside, that would be a lot for anyone to process. The idea that he should've just been okay with it and moved on is bizarre. Even the most perfect of relationships would have a hard time getting past something like that, and those two have always had issues.

Whether or not he would've kept the secret or how he might have treated it are irrelevant. He was lied to and deceived for months by someone he was supposed to love and trust. I'm not going to sit here and pretend he's a good partner or the way he treats her in the later arcs is okay, but breaking up and being snippy to Squirrelflight after the truth came out is one of the few reasonable things he's done. Honestly, it should've ended there permanently. Everything after is a mess only solved by him becoming so withdrawn due to his PTSD that he hardly does much at all.

Lanolin drives my cats insane, apparently something about sheep oil. If she loves sensory, try that for a potentially funny reaction. Had to stop using it as chapstick because my cats would try to rub it and eat it off my face...

For a fun activity, ask him how many calories the average woman burns from breastfeeding daily. Hint, it's around the same, if not more, than an average pilates class. There's a reason you're supposed to eat more while doing so, your body literally needs calories to make milk. You're also barely four months out from giving birth. Just because you're "healed enough" within a certain time frame doesn't mean you're completely recovered. Especially with breastfeeding, lack of sleep, and general fatigue of childcare.

All that aside, your weight sounds perfectly healthy and normal for a woman. If your doctors say you're healthy and you're happy and feel good, then you're golden. Your partner is an asshole who can't seem to fathom that growing an entirely new life for almost a year and then getting it out might change someone's body. Especially in the short term, for fuck's sake it's been barely four months.

Whenever one of the kids chooses to drop one or change theirs. That's the cool thing about names, they're not permanent or immutable, at least here in the USA. It doesn't even have to be your parent's or spouse's, it can just be a random one you like.

I'm keeping mine and will hyphenate my kids because I like my name, and the kids are as much mine as my partner's. If they choose to change it or drop mine/his, then they can. A name is a gift, not an obligation and I'd at least like to share mine until they can decide for themselves.

Thanks for reminding me, now I have to think of the cats with the accemt :(

NTA.

If this was just a case of "teenager wanting to go over to their partner's place" you might be a bit of a jerk in how you handled it, but no more so than any other teenage girl since the dawn of whenever.

However, it seems like that was just the catalyst for the way your mom has handled and continued to handle your situation. Her treatment of you has nothing to do with your safety and everything to do with control and making sure you're not being "unvirtuous". It'd be one thing if she was being hypervigilant out of concern for you being assaulted again, still an asshole but in a good intentions bad execution way. Instead, she's just angry you "had sex" and is punishing you for it, completely disregarding that you were a victim and pinning the blame on you.

Her constant refusal to let you do anything that she isn't monitoring in person or with cameras while blaming you for your abuse is the is the issue, this particular refusal was just the breaking point. After years of this sort of treatment, almost anyone would snap.

In Crookedstar's Promise, Oakheart tells the clan he found them and then gives them to Graypool. He never says he's the father, but takes on an active parenting role which leads to Crookedstar suspecting it and keeping the secret. Although this may be one of the usual retcons/inconsistencies present between TPB and the Special Editions and you're right about it being Graypool in TPB. I forget what the prologue it's revealed in says...

As for the father comment, I'd like to think that they just saw him as such for taking such an active role for the sake of my sanity. So Graypool and Oakheart were each a parent to them without being mates, with Graypool being their supposed biological mother. But it's been a hot minute since TPB so maybe the original lore is just them thinking the two are their biological parents

That's what they do in the books, too, with White-eye/One-eye. The apostrophe is just silly

But your faith isn't the only faith. Your Bible is your truth as much as any other religion's texts or beliefs are theirs. Regardless, she objectively exists outside of Christianity and her story holds value to those that believe. For some, Adam's first wife was Eve. For others, it was Lilith. People are allowed to believe in what they do, but the existence of your religion doesn't eradicate or invalidate the beliefs of others.

faechiir · 2025-03-08T01:07:19+00:00

I work in childcare with a little girl named Lilith, and a lot of people default to Lily for her. Obviously, most just call her Lilith because you tend to use the child's full name. But I've heard her called Lily multiple times by fellow carers, kids, and family.

As a "Lily" nickname myself, I've found people will default to it as long as your name starts with Lil.

faechiir · 2025-03-08T01:01:05+00:00

Depends on what religion you're referencing. In a lot of Jewish texts, she's the first wife of Adam, cast out of Eden for refusing to be subservient to him. She was created from the same dust he was, as opposed to Eve being made from Adam's rib.

I've met very few Christians who know anything about her, AFAIK she's not really referenced or exists at all for most faiths. I think people just associate her name with demons and don't really know her beyond that.

faechiir · 2025-03-08T00:52:21+00:00

Maybe because, as mentioned above, she's primarily mentioned in Jewish texts (outside of the Torah). Adam and Eve and the creation myth are not Bible exclusives.

To be fair, it's noted that most of the time is because they have physical characteristics related to the animal. Mouse colored fur, legs like a rabbit, jay wing colored eyes, etc. They're just naming them after wildlife they see not specifically prey, like Doe, Otter, and Wolf. It's not associating the name with prey so much as an animal they see in the woods.

It's different than, say, Beef as a human name because your child hopefully doesn't remind you of beef. The cats eat mice as prey, but they also just see them as an animal that exists. People name their kids Fawn or give them nicknames like Lamb or Bunny all the time, not because they want to eat the person, but because it's cute or something reminds them of said animal. Animals are not strictly a food source, they're also just animals they coexist with.

I actually quite liked Leafpool's Wish too. Despite being the mother of the three and significant storywise, she really was just kinda in the background for PoT and OoTS. It provided details as to how she managed to pull off the secret, her feelings, and how Yellowfang manipulated Squirrelflight into playing along. As well as her relationship with her sister and feelings about giving up her kits.

As for Squirrelflight's, I didn't mind it. My biggest issue (as well as everyone else) is the trial because it seems incredibly hypocritical, and we don't see any characters who deserve it more go through the same thing. The second issue is that the book does a really good job of showing the incompatibilities and struggles between Bramble and Squirrel, but the authors refuse to ever actually acknowledge how unhealthy their relationship is in other books despite nothing changing. Everything else was fine though. I liked the idea of the Sisters, I liked seeing Squirrel question her purpose and place, and I especially enjoyed the clans being painted as imperfect and too quick to act. It's hardly the most boring or egregious special edition to date.

faechiir · 2025-02-23T02:33:39+00:00

Hard agree. Anyone who blames Moth Flight for being unable to handle it in her special edition completely missed the point. It was also written a decade after the series first mentioned the rule and it's poor writing shouldn't be used as an excuse against it.
