Howdy, Cinnapals! Welcome to the totally chill, totally laid back June update. *yawns*  (What? The tone's totally  not informal because Buck is going on vacation this week, ahahah...... /silly)

Everybody wish nerdymacandcheese safe travels as she moves cross country! With Mac moving, Buck on vacation, and Kenna in classes, there may be a slowdown in admin responsiveness this week. Regardless, if you need assistance with something, feel free to use #ask-the-staff or DM someone who is online!

Got a pretty short one for you all this month, so let's get into it!

🏳️‍🌈 BANNER 🏳️‍🌈

This month's banner was done by GrinningCrypt , shxwrunner , and Elijah_Quicksilver ! Happy Wokeverse, everyone. Love wins. Trans rights.

We'll raffle for next month's banner shortly!

So long, cinnabunnies!

It seems as though the Cinnabunnies have hopped out with the changing times... Let's look forward to seeing them next year!

(Cinnabunny MYOs are no longer available in shop, nor can they be awarded via the monthly prompts. Any custom orders placed before the posting of this announcement are still valid!)

🎉 prompts + cinna of the month 🏊

This year's Chaosmay has been AMAZING - not that we should be surprised, because you all always bring your A-game!

Take some time to finish your pieces, ensure that your event submissions are all uploaded to the proper gallery, and all your other ducks are in a row, because the event will officially close tonight, 6/11 @ 12:00 AM EST. 

🍔 Savory Gacha 6/15 🍟

Are you in the mood for a tasty new Cinna after all the Chaosi focus? You're in luck!

An admin exclusive gacha is dropping this Sunday, 6/15! Rolls will be $55 each with no limits on rolls. It's a flavoriffic free-for-all!

As always, an announcement will go up the day of the event so you have time to prepare.

💻 LOREKEEPER UPDATEs 💻

An announcement was made in the server a while ago about site-wide rewrites for clarity and grammar... The time has come!

Please take a look at our new Home Page (the page you automatically see when you are logged out) and Prompts! If you happen to spot any pesky typos, let Buck know... grumble grumble.

Astute observers may have noticed that the FAQ page has been hidden from view for a while. Turns out updating that thing is a HUGE pain. It needs some more work before we can release it!

Alongside, Profile Pages had a minor layout tweak.

Check in for more updates about site rewrites!

🌄 CHAOSMAY EVENT 2025: Tales of techunne 🌄

This year's Chaosmay event is a 4-week art prompt gauntlet!

After your last encounter with the great wyrm, the invitation has been extended to you all to take a hiking tour into the Chaosi-settled Windshade Mountains, led by a quirky yet passionate Chaosi named Rikkan! What great stories will you discover along the way?

Your goal each week is to complete an art piece that follows that prompt! The more you participate, and the more effort you put in, the bigger your item boon will be at the end of the event! Sound exciting? For more details, including your weekly prompt updates, a related general chat, and a place to show off your event pieces, check the Event Zone for 3 corresponding channels! They will open up shortly after this announcement goes live.

🔎 NEW CHAOSI NPC: RIKKAN 📜

Your tour guide of Techunne is none other than this dashing fellow!

Meet Rikkan (he/him), our newest official NPC and first  Chaosi NPC! Rikkan is now available to be drawn for the monthly prompts alongside all the other NPCs! And finally, the "Meet the NPCs" page has been updated accordingly!

🥚 Chaosi adopts 🥚

Alongside the weekly event updates, we will be releasing an admin-designed Chaosi for raffle! That's 4 new Chaosi adopts this month that will be totally free to own! Keep an eye out for today's raffle design by none other than darkvvision !

In addition to the free raffle designs, however, a handful of admins are putting together a Mystery Egg adopt sheet! A nostalgic return to the old DeviantART days, these Chaosi adopts will be previewed only by their corresponding egg designs. The full designs will then be revealed as the eggs are purchased! We're keeping prices low this round, so as not to detract from the affordable nature of Chaosi. Details about the date and time of the batch, as well as a one-hour opening warning, will be announced in #artist-updates. We hope you'll love these scaly friends!

🗞️ NEW anatomy guides: classic versus contemporary 🗞️

Kenna has two new supplementary guides comparing classic / old-school anatomy to the more modern / adapted interpretation. These visuals highlight some differences between Cinnas of yore and what we currently approve for masterlist reference. As noted on the guides themselves, these references do not represent all the stylizations or body types Cinnas can have!

Feel free to utilize classic anatomy for new Cinnas! If you want to give a Cinna an old-school feel, using the lefthand images for reference is a great jumping off point.

📏 NEW size chart 📐

Kenna has really outdone himself this month with new assets! Take a look at our completed official Cinnaverse Size Chart!

Cinnapets tend to range from 6 inches to a foot tall.

Cinnadogs, Cinnacats, and Cinnabuns are anywhere in the 4-6 foot range, with dogs trending larger than their counterparts!

Teacups, Munchkins, and BonBons all stand around 2-3 feet tall now! Go you funky little animals!

And finally, Cinnawyverns may be a whopping 8-12 feet tall, but Celestial Cinnadragons are the largest of all! Their bodies are so long, who knows how to even measure their size?!

This guide, as well as the Classic versus Contemporary guides above, have all been uploaded to the Anatomy Resources sub-gallery! Go check them out whenever you want!

🍾 NEW ASSET ART + NAME CHANGE 🍾

You may have already noticed, but three of our items have a brand new coat of paint (or should I say pottery glaze?); the Golden Mead, Lycan Potion, and Cham Dye have all been given new art assets that tie into this month's event! But wait - Cham Dye???

Deriving from the Chaosi word chamdai, meaning "rainbow pelt", the Cham Dye functions exactly the same was as the Magic Food Dye did before; it just got a new, lore-relevant re-skin! You can learn about the history of these three consumables during this month's 4-week art event!

🐇 Last month for bunnies! 🐇

Just in case you needed a reminder, May is the last month for Cinnabuns and Bonbons! While our fluffy friends may be getting ready to retreat back into their magical burrows, they will  return next year!

And now, let the Chaosmay festivities begin! Let us know how you're feeling in the chat, and if you have any questions, chuck them at us in #ask-the-staff.

• Banner by Sugadori, Meatcarnist, and Yoshikage

🥕 new cinnabun npc + PAGE UPDATE 🥕

As elusive as Cinnabuns and BonBons are, what with their visiting only three months out of the year, it seems one friendly face has decided to stick around!

Meet Lariat (he/they), the Cinnaverse's newest official NPC! First seen on the Cinnabun visual guide from last month's update, Lariat is now available to be drawn for the monthly prompts alongside all the other NPCs! You may draw him all year, even after bunny season draws to a close. We hope you love the newest addition the roster!

In addition to the new NPC, admin Buck has started his site-wide rewrites by sprucing up the NPC page! It is now called "Meet the NPCs" and is located in the World tab. Here's a direct link so you can check it out!

🦎 NEW cHAOSI visual guide 🦎

Kenna has whipped up a new ref for Chaosi to match all of our other current references! Check that out below! The species page has also been edited to display the new ref.

Chaosi are FREE to make as of last month's update, so if you haven't already, consider adding a few to your roster!

🌷 SPRING GRATITUDE EVENT 🌷

Want to join in on the Cinnabun fun but don't have the funds for the Bunnalia? Do you just like making gifts and spreading cheer?

Then this event is for you! A fun yearly tradition, the spring gratitude event allows you to make bunnies for your fellow Cinnaverse group members! If you aren't familiar, these events function similarly to Secret Santas, except you are tasked with designing a new Cinna for your partner!

❗ Please be sure to read the rules below before submitting a form to join the Spring Gratitude Event! 

🐇 CINNABUNNALIA 2025 🐇

The annual Cinnabunnalia Gacha is almost here!

Prepare your wallets, because April 20th is our set date! All OAs and admins have been invited to participate in this year's bunnalia, so we're expecting a ton of amazing designs! Rolls will be $55, first-come first-serve, and there will be a swaps period after all rolls go out, just like always.

Keep an eye out for more specific details in the days, hours, etc. approaching the event! We hope to see you in the Event channels for bunny hype!

gOLDEN mEADS NOW IN THE SHOP

For the remainder of bunny season (now --> the June update), Golden Meads will be available to purchase from the shop! Feel free to stock up on as many legendary traits as your wallet can handle!

💻 LOREKEEPER UPDATEs 💻

It's time once again for some banger website updates thanks to the lovely redcrowz ! Let's get this show on the road!

Navigation Bar update

If you haven't already seen it, the navigation bar has been completely revamped! This was at the request of Kenna himself and should hopefully be a lot more intuitive to browse. Take some time to familiarize yourselves with the changes!

If you run into the reloading glitch (the site continuously refreshes itself), you'll need to clear your browser's cache!

Friends feature

Want to make some Cinnafriends? There is now a plus (+) button on user profiles to send them a friend request!

You can check your friends list, as well as the status of any pending friend requests, in the dropdown menu under your username on the far right side of the nav bar!

Blocking feature

Need to block someone on site? There is now a "Block" button on their profile!

Just like in the Discord server, we highly encourage blocking users you do not get along with. This will save both parties, as well as the admin team, a lot of stress in everyday chatting + site usage.

Character Profile Pronouns

Pronouns can now be displayed on profiles! Edit their profile to adjust them accordingly.

That's a wrap on April! Let us know how you're feeling in the chat, and if you have any questions, chuck them at us in #ask-the-staff.

🧠 TL;DR 🧠

• Banner by Spook , Almondlover , and Endtrails
• New prompts
• COTM Winner: Almondlover
• Spring Gratitude: Form closes April 12
• Cinnabunnalia: $55 per roll, April 20
• Golden Meads in shop for $25

🧹 Discord housekeepinG 🧹

Our first order of business this update is to address a recent trend in the Discord server; as of this update (3/11/25), Trait Checks should not be submitted to the #ask-the-staff channel.

The Ask the Staff channel was always intended for people to ask admins for help,  whether that be help with the site, lore inquiries, or even requests to DM admins for more private concerns. These types of questions still come in, and are promptly answered, but we as a team have noticed that the channel is trending towards turning into a sort of halfway-approvals ground. We completely understand that sometimes you may have questions regarding traits, and wanting an "official" opinion on your Cinnas' proposed traits is not inherently bad! However, simply sending in a design and asking the admins to trait it for you is not going to be accepted anymore. We'd really like to encourage you to use the visual trait index on the Lorekeeper site to trait your Cinnas on your own. If you have specific questions regarding how to draw a trait, how many items a specific tail fusion requires, etc., those can all still be submitted to that channel. Finally, feel free to ask around in #art-development-and-advice for trait input as well!

On the whole, sending a Cinna in for approval should not be seen as a pass-fail system! If a Cinna's approval is sent back for revisions, it does not mean you have Failed To Cinnadog Correctly - it's truly no biggie at all! The admin handling your submission will always provide notes on what to change, and there is no limit on how many times a submission can be sent back and forth before it's eventually approved. We have really good turnaround times for admin correspondence - it should not take longer than 3 days to hear back about your submission. If it does, we are likely reviewing it as a team or an active admin is away for IRL business. We're all human, after all! Thank you all for understanding.

🪺 CHAOSI UPDATE: NOW AN OPEN SPECIES 🪺

It's been a while since we heard about our scaly friends the Chaosi...

After getting some clarification from Kenna about what his original intention for Chaosi were, we talked at length about the future of this elusive species. (When I say at length, I mean it - we ended multiple admin calls still undecided about them, LOL.) After animatedly debating what to do with Chaosi, we finally reached a conclusion the likes of which the Cinnaverse has never truly seen before:

Chaosi are now an Open Species! 

Just in case you're new to the scene, or perhaps would benefit from a refresher on Online Species Terminology TM, making Chaosi an Open Species means you are free to make as many Chaosi as you want - anytime, anywhere! All we ask is that you submit them to the masterlist for approval in order to call them Chaosi. They are a part of the Cinnaverse, after all!

The only things you need to list when submitting a Chaosi for approval are their flavor/theme and their tail traits. The iconic Hefty Tail is a big part of what visually signals a Cinna as a Cinna, and Chaosi still fall under the Cinnaverse umbrella. 🌀 Chaosi have access to all common and rare traits for free! If you'd like a legendary trait, you may apply a Golden Mead to your scaly little weirdo. 🦎

Now let's address the egg-shaped elephant in the room: "What do I do with my Chaosi Eggs?"

Admin Buck is kicking himself as he writes this, because Chaosi no longer require the Chaosi Egg item to be submitted for approval. The currently existing Chaosi Egg item will be relabeled as a Legacy Item, meaning it is no longer usable. It will not be automatically removed from your inventory, however. If you'd like some sort of compensation for your eggs, as they did once hold value, you may submit a claim through our claims page under the Item Redemption prompt. The conversion will be:

• Rarity Rune = 1 Egg
• MYO = 5 Eggs
• Golden Mead = 7 Eggs

As a final note, the written info for Chaosi in the World tab has been edited a smidge to reflect the new changes. Go there for a refresher!

We hope this inspires everyone to create even more Chaosi! 

🐰 BUNNY SEASON: NEW SUBSPECIES! 🐰

After discussing recent feedback, we bring you a big update for bunny season that we feel really helps to integrate Cinnabunnies into our current species framework. Drumroll please... 🥁

Introducing: Cinnabuns and BonBons!

🆕 Cinnabuns are a new, distinct subspecies of Cinna that are traditionally upright, anthro, and large - think of them as the Cinnadog/Cinnacat of the bunny world!

Many Cinnas that currently exist on the masterlist are Cinnacats/Cinnadogs that have stylized anatomy intended to make them more bunny-looking (long hocks, rounder nose bridge, protruding teeth). Those Cinnas will now be grandfathered in as Cinnabuns! Congrats on the promotion! 🤝

Refer to our shiny new visual guide (made as always by the lovely darkvvision) for some examples of anatomical differences between Cinnabuns and the other large subspecies.

🍬 BonBons (name provided by @dios-donuts) are cinnabunnies as we previously knew them - same thing, different name! Think of them as the Teacup/Munchkin of the bunny world!

All Cinnas that were already listed as "Cinnabunnies" on the masterlist have been renamed to "BonBons". This means there are certainly stragglers who need to be relabeled! Give us some time to do a ML sweep, but if a few weeks go by and you notice that some of your Cinnas still seem to be mislabeled, feel free to send in a ticket and we'll judge them case-by-case. 🫡

Please refer to last year's visual guide by darkvvision for an anatomical reference for BonBons! The text has been edited to reflect the new name.

Both of the bunny subspecies are now available to buy as MYOs via the shop! These items will cycle out alongside the June update, so get them while you can!

In addition to the MYO items coming back in stock, you may also make either bunny subspecies for your monthly MYOs this season! Go catch those three free bounding bunnies!

Some more details about bunnies, as questions may come up during designing or approval stages:

• In order to use a Bunny Ears trait on a non-bunny subspecies, you must submit and approve a bunny form first, whether that be a Cinnabun or Bonbon. If you'd like to skip this step, you may use a Golden Mead during March, April, or May to unlock the Bunny Ears trait. Non-bunny Cinnas that already have the Bunny Ears trait are not affected by this update!
• Cinnabuns and BonBons cannot have Wild faces that resemble dogs or cats. Additionally, they must have Bunny Ears. These rules are in place to make design approvals easier for everyone involved!
• Some Cinnas that get grandfathered in as Cinnabuns or BonBons will not entirely follow the newest anatomical guidelines. Trying to fit old designs into new rules is not exactly black and white!

As always, if you all have any questions regarding Cinnabuns or BonBons, you may ask in #ask-the-staff, or give respectful/constructive feedback in #feedback-and-suggestions.

🎨 ADMIN BUNNY ADOPTS 🎨

With bunny season comes bunnies, of course! Keep an eye out in #official-adopts for both Cinnabuns and BonBons designed by the admins this season - first up to bat is the CEO of Bunnymen himself, darkvvision! <3

And there we have it! We hope everything in this update serves you all well! As always, if you have any questions, you can direct those to #ask-the-staff.

Let the bunnies begin!

🐇 TL;DR 🐇

• Banner by Lvsu, Springstrike, and Kouriander
• COTM winner rainer - new theme is Good Luck Charm 🍀
• No more trait checks in #ask-the-staff please
• Chaosi are now an open species - turn in eggs for other items
• Debut of Cinnabuns (big bunnies!) and renaming of BonBons (little bunnies!)
• Bunny MYO items now in the shop - use a Golden Mead for ears on non-bunnies if you'd like
• Bunny adopts incoming! First up is Kennan McCinnan

Feeling lovestruck, Cinnaverse? Whether it's new love, old love, platonic love, or lost love, we hope this season finds you well.

Many thanks once again from the entire admin team for the patience regarding this delayed update; the turn of a new year is always busy IRL, as you can imagine.

Without further ado, let's get on with it!

🎁 PROMPTS + CINNA OF THE MONTH 🎁

We have some lovely prompts for you all! Check them out here!

Our winner for Cinna of the Month is... Perry ! 

As a reminder, you may choose to draw COTM Cinnas instead of NPCs for the Rarity Prompt!

We have TWO themes this month: Box of Chocolates 🍫 & Children's Programing 📺!
 As always, submit designs to THIS gallery for your chance to have your design made official for free! 

🍫 TRAIT UPDATES 🍫

We have a few traits that we'd like to draw your attention to! Check out the updates below:

bunny ears

Bunny Ears of any style are now allowed to be used with the use of a Golden Mead, but only  if the Cinna is submitted for approval in March, April, or May (bunny season).

horns clarification

The "Horns" trait covers every hornlike appendage on the face! Think tertiary horns like rhinos, triceratops, etc.

BEHOLDER CLARIFICATION

As object heads have become more commonplace, we'd like to clarify that a Cinna's head being an eyeball will fall under the Beholder trait! Cinnas that already have this design feature will be updated on the ML accordingly.

removing MANE AND UB: HOLLOW

As we strive to expand the creativity with which you can design a Cinna, the team has found that a few traits have become redundant. Mane (common) and UB: Hollow (rare) have been removed from the trait lists. You can of course still make Cinnas with these design elements! They will just no longer require traiting for the ML.

Cinnas that had Hollow have been compensated with vintage badges, which can be turned in for a Rarity Rune if you so choose by submitting a claim on-site.

Trait ART UPDATES

As a quick update, trait art is still in the works! We once again thank Playdeadpossum for all of her hard work, and thank you all for your patience!

🎆 ROADMAP UPDATES 🎆

Less of a concrete update and more of an explanation for our lack of a January update, as well as a teaser of things to come!

The Cinnaverse has a rather big change coming, not to the species itself, but rather to the space we gather in! Given all of our IRL schedule conflicts, we needed to postpone the launch, because we want absolutely everything ready to go before we release it.

While our original intent was to fully keep things a secret, and then reveal it all in a grand flourish, we understand that some people may prefer an advance notice, so they can gear up and prepare for the changes being made. Therefore, just so everyone is aware, our Discord server will be changing before the end of the year. Consider this your first heads up!

 Our current goal for finishing this project is August 2025. Hopefully that deadline will give Kenna and us admins time to get all of our ducks in a row so that we can have an awesome newcomers MYO event!

Hopefully this update is enough to chew on for now! If anything comes up between now and the proposed August deadline, we will be sure to let you know. We want this to be a smooth as possible!

As of time of posting this, say a Happy Birthday to the species owner, Kenna darkvvision ! Their birthday was just yesterday!

Aaaaand that is everything for this month! As always, if you have any questions about changes or new additions, you can ask us in #ask-the-staff!

Happy holidays and enjoy your few more weeks of winter! Lots of love. ❤️

If you have any questions, let us know!

Hi, Cinnafriends! Happy 2025! Thank you for your patience on this update.

Speaking of the update... there sort of isn't one. Let me explain:

This new year has hit the admin team particularly hard. From cross-country moves, to pregnancies, to changing jobs, to falling ill, to pet troubles, we are, to put it simply, occupied.

While we initially had a sizeable update planned this month, we simply need more time to put it together. The absolute last thing we want to do is rush this one, as it'll affect the entire group moving forward. Nothing scary, we promise! All good things! And those good things will come... to those who wait.

For now, the monthly prompts have been updated, and the Snowball Smash event has come to a close. The Points Shop will open momentarily!

A massive thank you for ringing in the new year Cinna style. Check back on February 10th for a proper monthly update. 

Brr! Is anyone else cold, Cinnaverse? Let's get right into this update so we can get back to our cozy blankets and cocoa!

⛄️ 2024 SNOWBALL SMASH - NAUGHTY VS. NICE ⛄️

DECEMBER 10 - JANUARY 10

Written and hosted by redcrowz

THE Jist

Participants are split into two teams. Players "attack" people of the opposing team by making winter-themed art of Cinnas you choose belonging to members of the other team. You are free to use almost any style, so long as it fits the requirements of a colored fullbody. Your team receives points based on what you create for the other team with each attack.

The artist that receives the attack can then counter that attack by drawing a Cinna belonging to the person who attacked them, or pay it forward by attacking a different person on the other team.

At the end of the month, the team with the greater score wins!

But remember, while there are point scores, the real goal is to celebrate characters with your fellow artists.
Just like Art Fight, this event is about giving and receiving amazing art. 

REQUIREMENTS

⭐ You are fighting for either the side of Naughty or Nice, much like Art Fight! Pick your team here and/or indicate it somewhere on your profile.

⭐ You must draw gift art of someone else's Cinnas, preferably on the team you are against but friendly fire is allowed.

⭐ Your piece must be winter-themed.

⭐ For the sake of simplicity and the fact that Art Fight is not in-season for us to calculate types of art properly, only colored fullbodies will count as the minimum. There are add-ons though.

⭐You can only draw a Cinna once for it to count. You cannot draw the same Cinna again and have it count for points. This is to prevent exploiting simple designs to rack up points. We encourage you to draw a variety of people's Cinnas!

⭐ Your entries will be counted at the end of the event and you will be given an appropriate amount of prizes for your effort. The winning team will get a bonus reward.

🌟 Rewards for will be a item point shop that may have some special presents for you all! A preview of the shop will be available during the event once it is set up. Points will be transferrable among users.

CRITERIA

• [REQUIRED] Colored Fullbody: 1 point

(can be nugget, chibi, fullbody, whatever size so long as it depicts all of the Cinna)

Add-Ons:

• Shading: 1 point
• Patterned Background: 1 point
• Scenic Background: 3 points

Friendly Fire:

• 50% of what applies to the friendly fired Cinna

As an example, an attack contains 6 flat fullbodies total on one canvas, 3 Cinnas belong to the opposing team, 3 Cinnas are friendly fire. You will get 3 points for attacking the opposing team, you get 1.5 points for the friendly fire (0.5 points for each friendly fire cinna) The attack is worth 4.5 total points.

NOTES

• Unfortunately, we do not have the means to autobalance teams. We do encourage you to keep the teams balanced when possible.
• Switching teams in the middle of the event is not allowed. If we catch you doing this without switching back (in case of an accident), you will not be able to participate from the next Cinnaverse event. You may join whenever in the event, however.
• If you have any questions, head to ⁠#❓-ask-the-staff !

REQUIREMENTS UPON UPLOADING

• Mark the art with the depicted Cinna(s) and who it is for in the Characters and Other Participants sections respectfully.
• Use the description below

Description Example:

• Art Type(s) + Any Applicable Add-Ons: 3 shaded fullbodies with a patterned background
• Total Points: 7 points
• Artist Team: Nice

TL;DR:

• Appoint yourself to a team, draw at least a winter-themed fullbody Cinna from the other team, get points to win and get rewards!

🍫 TRAIT UPDATES 🍫

Double and triple tail update

Double and Triple tails will no longer require an additional Rarity Rune / Golden Mead respectfully if involved in a rare / legendary tail fusion.

This means if you have a rare tail fused with Double Tail on your Cinna, that tail will now only require one Rarity Rune, not two.

UNUSUAL BODY CLARIFICATION

Traits that utilize Unusual Body traits to mimic others are required to have both.

For example, if you have candy corn body spikes on your Cinna, that would require both the Edible UB trait and the Scaly UB trait.

CHIMERA CLARIFICATION

Chimera does not require any Rarity Runes for Wild Faces for the other heads. The Golden Mead covering Chimera will cover the Wild Faces.

Cinnas with Chimera can now have dog and cat heads so long as the base Cinna anatomy matches the submission.

Trait ART UPDATES

Updated trait art is still in the works!

We thank Playdeadpossum for all of her hard work, and thank you all for your patience!

MASTERLIST UPDATES

WEREFORM = LYCAN POTION

As we have streamlined the process of creating and approving alternate forms of Cinnas in the recent years, it's high time wereforms join the ranks to finish out those quality of life updates!

Moving forward, you will no longer see "Wereform (Rare)" on a Cinna's individual trait list. Instead, a Lycan Potion must be used to unlock wereforms. Many people were under the assumption that this was already how it functioned, so hopefully there won't be too drastic of an adjustment period. 

Once you use the potion, your Cinna can have as many Wereforms as you'd like!

Wereforms are required to go through standard admin approval in order to be officially recognized on the masterlist.

The used Lycan Potion will be visible in your Cinna's inventory, much like badges, Magic Food Dyes, and Morpho Cookies! Yay, items!

Chaosmites Renamed to Chaosi

Since Chaosmites are canonically the babies of Chaosi, we have updated all the site terminology for clarity!

Trait LIST + LABELLINg CHECKS

To update everyone on the masterlist sweeps, we are still looking over all Cinnas! (We have sooooo many Cinnas,  y'all....)

One of our current focuses is making sure IP Inspirations and Character Import Cinnas are properly labelled. If you own any cinnas that are inspired by an IP, or are based on your own original characters, please submit a claim here under "IP-Inspired Cinnas & Non-Cinna Forms". This prompt can also be submitted for cinnas you don't own, as long as you're 100% sure of the IP inspiration / OC import.

What Qualifies As An IP Cinna + OC Import/EXPORT? (from nerdymacandcheese)

The definition has gotten a little muddy, but I wanted to clarify what we've officially decided makes a cinna an IP cinna.

• Any cinna directly inspired by an existing character, song, show, etc.
• Any cinna directly inspired on a moodboard / group of images that's intentionally based on / includes a specific IP.
• Any cinna that includes a specific symbol / logo from an IP. (ie. Pokeball markings)
• Any cinna based on an IP related dessert. (ie. Pokepuffs)

This criteria applies no matter how close your cinna looks to the actual IP. No cinna qualifies as "distinct enough" if the cinna was made to be directly inspired by an IP. A cinna cannot lose its IP label, but it can gain an IP label if a non-IP cinna is redesigned to be directly inspired by an IP. This also applies to OC Imports / Exports. OC Imports / Exports fall into a similar criteria.

• Any cinna directly inspired by your own OC.
• Any cinna meant to be an alt-form of your own OC
• Any cinna that has non-cinna forms. (ie. Human Forms)

Trait ART UPDATES

Updated trait art is still in the works! Here are the newest additions:

We thank Playdeadpossum for all of her hard work, and thank you all for your patience!

💾 Website Updates

IMAGE BLOCKING

A feature has been added where users can black out site images that they do not wish to see, all uses of this image across the site will be censored for them (provided they use the same image URL on the site).

You may censor masterlist images and icons, user icons, items, and traits at the moment.

The widget is disabled by default. Users can enable the widget to block images at will. You can block however many images as you like then completely disable the widget for yourself, keeping the site "clean" of the button while retaining those censors for yourself.

AVATAR/User BORDERs

Another feature has been added that allows for cosmetic borders around your icon!

All borders can be seen here. Borders can be changed in your settings.

Borders will be rewarded through MYO Prompts and Events. More ways to get borders will be announced accordingly!

For November's MYO Prompt's user border reward, you can choose between Pumpkin Sliced and Pumpkin Pied, both drawn by the lovely redcrowz !

There are more borders to come! Expect these to roll out over the course of the next year!

CHAOSI EGGS OFF THE SHOP AND ITEM PROMPT

We're currently reworking Chaosi behind the scenes, so we will be temporarily taking Chaosi Eggs out of the shop and item prompt. You may still submit MYOs on hand or use them in the wishing well, and we will be back soon with news and updates. Check back in soon!

ITEM TRANSFERS

Transferring items is more streamlined: you may now type the user rather than scroll through the list of users to transfer an item.

That is everything for this month! As always, if you have any questions about changes or new additions, you can ask us in #ask-the-staff! Lots of love. ❤️ Take it easy this fall!
