🥕 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!

💻 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.

ab767f63dd98e5ba561e23658fc7d43b8aa635e9.gif

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.

🍀 March Newsletter 🍀

Posted 1 month ago :: Last edited 1 month ago by Coffeebara

It's the moment you've all been waiting for! 'Tis the season for bunnies! This year, however, we have a big and egg-citing change that we'll get into down below. Onwards to the update!

ab767f63dd98e5ba561e23658fc7d43b8aa635e9.gif

🧹 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.

ab767f63dd98e5ba561e23658fc7d43b8aa635e9.gif

🪺 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 promptThe 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!

cinbunbundle.pngcinbunmyo.pngbonbonbundle.png bonbonmyo.png

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.

ab767f63dd98e5ba561e23658fc7d43b8aa635e9.gif

🎨 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

ab767f63dd98e5ba561e23658fc7d43b8aa635e9.gif

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!

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!

🍫 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!

ab767f63dd98e5ba561e23658fc7d43b8aa635e9.gif

🎆 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!

ab767f63dd98e5ba561e23658fc7d43b8aa635e9.gif

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. ❤️

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.

⛄️ 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

🍫 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!

/J BADGE - BADGE FOR CINNABOMINATIONS

Hey, you may notice that your Cinna might get a new badge!

This badge, lovingly referred to as the /J Badge, will be awarded to Cinnas that intentionally loophole anatomy in favor of a joke!

CINNABUNNY MYO UPDATES

Cinnabunny MYOs are being adjusted:

  • Cinnabunny MYOs will no longer allow you to create a Cinnadog, Cinnacat, Teacup, or Munchkin with the restricted Bunny Ears trait.
  • Cinnabunny MYOs will only be used to create a small Cinnabunny form.
  • With this change, Cinnabunny MYOs will decrease to $15 in the shop once they're in season.
  • Any pre-existing Cinnabunny MYOs and Carrot Preserves in inventories will be turned into Vintage Cinnabunny MYOs.
  • Carrot Preserves will be removed from Jericho's Wishing Well.
  • Bunny-eared Cinnadogs, Cinnacats, Teacups, and Munchkins are still allowed to be made with the corresponding MYO slot and existence of a Cinnabunny form.
LYCAN POTION UPDATES

Wereforms from Lycan Potions will now allow trait and color/ marking changes, essentially combining the functions of a Morpho Cookie and Magic Food Dye into one item for wereforms.

With this new function, the price of a Lycan Potion has increased from $10 to $20.

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.

DRAW TO ENTER (DTE) - 10/30

If you haven't seen it already, darkvvision and poejangles have done a Poellab for a DTE (Draw to Enter) Raffle!

The requirements are:
FULLBODY — Please make sure your drawing submission is a fullbody of the Cinna! Flat color is acceptable, but we’d love to see shading! Make your entry as simple or detailed as you like, whether that be a simple fullbody or a full scene with character interactions! This will not count as extra points or anything, so no pressure.

One submission per person — Again, we’re not tallying extra points or raffle slots for anyone, so even if you draw 7 pieces, you may only submit 1!

Can't / Don't wanna draw? — We know that some Cinna owners just like collecting pretty little food creatures to look at and/or make stories for, so as an alternative  entry, you can write a 500 word story for this Cinna!
We do urge drawings though as all the submissions will go into the gallery of this design for whoever wins the raffle!

Submissions will end on 10/30,  and the winner will be announced on 10/31 (Halloween)!
Tysm for participating, and we’re so excited to see what everyone comes up with! Get scribblin’!

The admin team is shaking things up this year with 3 flatsale batches and 3 (or more :eyes:) auctions! These flatsales will include designs from all of the admins, and the auctions are collabs between admins!

Thursday, October 10th - Micro-Nugget Flatsales + Auction

Thursday, October 17th - Chibi Flatsales + Auction

All of the relevant info for the batch releases, the batches themselves, and the auctions will all take place in correlating Discord channels! (#, #, #, #)

ab767f63dd98e5ba561e23658fc7d43b8aa635e9.gif

GUEST ARTIST BREAK

We've been blessed this year with a whole hoarde of amazing guest artists! As you may know, there are more than a few open adopts, which can be found in #official-adopts and on the LK in UnsoldAdopts. To give the market some time to breathe and allow the open Cinnas a better chance to sell, we will be taking a break from GA terms for the remainder of 2024. When we start up again in 2025, there will be new guidelines in place to ensure everyone's adopts get the attention and time they deserve! Thank you all so much for your hard work, and we'll see you in the new year!

ab767f63dd98e5ba561e23658fc7d43b8aa635e9.gif

Claim Game RULE CLARIFICATION

If you are a regular in the Cinnaverse Discord, you may know about our little drawing game called The Claim Game! This is a fairly simple art game commonly found in other species servers, wherein you draw the Cinna of the person who posted above you, then send a reference of your own Cinna for someone else to claim. We have previously been fairly lax about the rules of the game, but as of late have received feedback that some entries have not followed the pinned guidelines. So here's a refresher!

Claim game pieces must be drawn from the hips up (aka halfbody), as well as fully colored. The pieces can be lined in whatever style you use, as long as the other two requirements are met. Keeping this standard of art in the game means no accidentally hurt feelings. Everything should be fair and fun!

In addition to the art rule clarification, keep in mind that you can only claim one Cinna to draw at a time, that it is common courtesy to edit your original post once you've completed your piece, and not to join the thread unless you plan to complete your piece(s) within a reasonable amount of time. The Claim Game should not be used as a mill for "free" art. Thank you all for understanding!

MASTERLIST UPDATES

Posted 6 months ago :: Last edited 6 months ago by redcrowz

written by nerdymacandcheese

Hello everyone! As our monthly update approaches, I wanted to come forward with a small update about our masterlist!

Vintage Badge Redemption

As of posting, all vintage badges have been granted to all applicable entries. A cinna may have multiple badges if they lost multiple rarities. Each badge is labeled with the specific trait that has downgraded in rarity. One vintage badge can be redeemed for one rarity rune.

Vintage badges that are labeled with multiple traits (ie. Slashers + Jaws) are errors on my end. I have done my best to correct these error badges, but some may have slipped through. If you have one of these error badges, they can be redeemed for two rarity runes, or however many traits are labeled on the badge.

Similarly, vintage badges may be labeled with multiple tail traits (ie. ZigZag Tail+ Devil Tail). These badges can only be redeemed for one rune, as rare tail fusions only require one rarity rune.

Please note that Chaosmites and Cinnapets have not received vintage badges as these subspecies do not require rarity runes to use rare traits.

Additionally, Cinnadragons and Cinnawyverns have not received vintage badges for horns and wings, as these traits have always been free to use for these subspecies. The vintage badge redemption prompt can be found here under "Item Redemption"!

What's Next? / How Can I Help?

Our next step in this project is identifying any cinnas that have IP Inspirations or are OC Imports. These were largely undocumented up until a few months ago, so any and all help is appreciated as we move forward.

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?

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 title, but it can gain an IP title 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)

That is all from me! Any questions or concerns with this announcement can be directed to ⁠❓-ask-the-staff, or you can contact nerdymacandcheese directly in DMs! Wishing you all a lovely morning / afternoon / evening / whenever! ❤️
