Hello Cinnafriends, we’re wishing you a safe and joyful Summer! We have some things you might enjoy for July. Your anonymous feedback really helped us see the species and community from another angle, and you guys couldn’t be more helpful [and polite - we really appreciate it!]. We’re still working on some of the larger stuff you guys wanted to see changed or added, so we hope you check in next month [or sooner!] for more news!

SAVORY GACHA - JULY 29th

Keep an eye out for more details - such as the specific time - as we get closer!

Rolls are $55 each, and made by all of our Cinnartists!

Item Updates & Changes

We have some Item Updates that we hope bring some positive quality of life changes, even if by a little. These changes should result in slightly easier navigation on our site, and reduced effort for processing for designs.

• We will be renaming Magic Carrot to Cinnabunny MYO Slot for convenience! It can be found easier on site dropdowns and searches.
• The few specific Legendary traits [cerberus, chimera, triple tail] will be replaced with the Golden Mead item on our site. The Golden Mead item can be used to add any Restricted trait [sans Diamond Tail] to a Cinna. If you have these items, feel free to submit an Item Redemption Prompt or Inventory Prompt to swap it for a Golden Mead :mead:
• The Endless Summer Event Idols will also be replaced/removed – as rare traits, they can be used any time with a Rarity Rune. They will still work the same if they are in your inventory, and may be swapped by us if they are not used up. If you have these items, feel free to submit an Item Redemption Prompt or Inventory Prompt to swap it for a Rarity Rune.
• Cinnawyverns and Cinnadragons will have one combined MYO Slot, where, if obtained, you would be able to choose which species you’d like to add to the Masterlist. It does not contain two MYOs, or one of each.
• We will be retiring the Void Cola item and Voidal Prompt. These processes will be done by request. A cooldown still applies for voiding and legitimizing Cinnas so it is not done too frequently.
  We have an optional MYO prompt this month where you can show some love to our veteran Vanta, and earn some goodies for your love and thanks. To anyone with a Void Cola in your inventory, you may redeem it for a $10 or below item via the Item Redemption prompt!
• We’ve removed the shop items thread in ⁠#💰-shop , and link directly to all of our stores for easy access.

IP Badge Update

We are changing the IP Badge into the Media Badge, to cover a wider range of media inspiration. This should hopefully clear up some confusion on a handful of designs. If you have any questions, concerns, or requests, please don’t hesitate to let a mod know!

Pound Guest Artists

Our next round of Pound Guest Artists has been rolled! Please welcome dazai , GAMERSTYLE73 , SpaceOreos ,  SoftFrog , we can’t wait to see your take on some of the Cinnas in our pound!

Prompts

• Our ⁠MYO Prompts have updated! You only need to do two MYO Prompts to earn a MYO + 1 Rare trait, instead of three. While we don’t require a background, we will request some shading on these submissions. There will also be a wider variety of prompts to choose from including lore, scenes, worldbuilding, extra forms, and gift art!

• I wanted to personally let everyone know that we LOVE your prompt art so much, it is a genuine pleasure to browse the latest submissions for laughs, incredible pieces, and wonderful oc interactions. You guys rock, I would comment on every single one if I could! Thank you for participating and bringing me so many smiles <3333 I especially love all of the tail evolution sheets, hilarious Cinbun stickers, and gaming consoles!! Love you guys ❤️ -fever

PROMPT SUBMISSIONS

Hey Cinnanation!

It seems like a strange phenomenon has swept over all of the species this July...

🧛 🌙 🐺

In other words...

Cinnart Fight 2023 will begin today!

This event is meant to work alongside the official Art Fight if you decide to participate in it, but it's not mandatory! We wanted to give you guys something while Art Fight is on a good amount of people's minds.

(To people who were in the Chaosma Battle Event last year, this event functions very much like that!)

Hope you guys enjoy, and happy battling!

🧛 🌙 🐺

It was a dark and stormy night...

A bright full moon looms in the sky as a swarm of bats squeak in the air as they flap their wings across the world. A strange phenomenon appears to have swept the Cinnaverse- Cinnas have become more monstrous in nature, some bearing sharp needle-like fangs, some bearing a more wolf-like form like none other.

A piercing hiss and a bellowing howl clash against each other as swarms of Cinnas begin to come together.

Come together... for battle.

🧛 VAMPINNAS VS. WERECINNAS - CINNART FIGHT 2023 🐺

JULY 1ST - 31ST 2023

The Jist:

Participants are split into two teams. Players "attack" people of the opposing team by making art of Cinnas you choose belonging to members of the other team. You are free to use almost any style. 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.
Art Fight is about giving and receiving amazing art. 

Requirements:

• ⭐ You are fighting for either the side of Vampires (Vampinnas) or Werewolves (Werecinnas), much like Art Fight 2023! Participation of the actual Art Fight is not mandatory but preferred. Pick your team here and/or indicate it somewhere on your profile.
• ⭐ You must draw gift art of someone else's Cinna, preferably on the team you are against but friendly fire is allowed.
• ⭐ Any finish, any medium, any size is allowed as long as you created it.
• ⭐ Pieces will be valued by the official Art Fight's point system.
• ⭐ 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 this event are a secret and will be revealed at the end via an update.

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!

UPLOAD SUBMISSIONS HERE

Requirements upon uploading:

• Mark the art with the depicted Cinna(s) and who it is for in the Characters and Other Participants sections respectfully.
• If participating in Art Fight, link the upload to Art Fight in the description box alongside the calculated point total for the piece according to Art Fight AND the team you, the artist, are on.
• For people not participating in the official Art Fight this year, you may show a screenshot of the calculated point total rather than the link to the upload. You may have a another member of the server assist you if you happen to not have an AF account.

Description Example:

[link to Art Fight upload OR pasted screenshot of the point calculation]
Total Points: 75
Artist Team: Vampinna

TL;DR:
Appoint yourself to a team, draw a Cinna from the other team, get points to win and get rewards!

🎆 🎇 🎆

Alongside, welcome our new banner done by the talented artists AshKat48, sugarsprink, and steakseed! We're amazed by amazing art they've done for the month, so please give them all your love and support!

Small note about Wing and Seraph traits

Earlier this month we had some discussion about the two wing-related traits in our artillery, and users expressed some confusion over their function or when they’re appropriate to use, so we thought we’d clear the air a little!
These traits are not changing, as we found it a necessary split between having a standard pair of back-wings compared to wings being in an odd or unusual place, or there being more than one pair, similar to Devourer and Beholder.
Seraph can be used to place wings anywhere and more than one pair, but if theres a pair of wings where they’re typically found, it will count as the regular Wings trait regardless of any Seraph traits. We hope that helps you understand our process!

Good evening Cinnafriends ❤️ We very excited to share a huge update for you this May, hope it finds you well!

NEW BANNER! 

• Our new Banner art for May was made by 186lilly, purrloin, Chocolate_cake
• ❤️ Don’t forget to tell them what you think! Keep an eye out for the next collab raffle for June’s banner! It could be you!

🐰 CINNABUNNY SEASON! 🐰

• May has come quick, and so the end of Cinnabunny season is nearing its end. Bunnies are still valid for prompts this month and all year with a MYO slot.
• Bunny MYOs may spring up later this year

🐺 New Admin & Guest Artist Permissions 🐺

• As some of you might be aware, we’ve made a change to the rarity of some former Wild face types. All affected Cinnas will be given a Vintage Badge :vintage: or you may submit a prompt to redeem a rare trait instead. These faces are now considered ⭐️ Common and free to use:
  • Panthera
  • Wolf
  • Borzoi
  • Snub
  • Bully
  • Pomua
• [Misc Item Redemption] https://cinnaverse.net/prompts/prompts?name=inventory&prompt_category_id=none&sort=category 

SERVER EMOJIS

• We’ve uploaded a bunch of emojis you made last month for the prompts, thank you for contributing such goodies! This month prompt involves making stickers for the server to enjoy, we hope you all take advantage so that we may see your work featured

🐠 GOLDFISH TAIL -> FISHCRUNCHY TAIL 

• The Goldfish Tail and all fusions are being renamed to Fishcrunchy Tail, their original submission name by Thalliumfire

CHAOSMITE EGGS

• Chaosmite Eggs have been recovered from continued excavation of Chaosma’s den. They will be available in the Item Prompt from now until August 10th! They will also be in our Cinnaverse and Points shop!

🕸️ CINNACENTRAL RETIREMENT 🕸️

• Our Cinna Central site is set to expire very soon, please let us know if you have any questions, concerns, or trouble navigating our new Lorekeeper or its shop, we’re more than happy to make your transition smooth and comfortable! Please also reach out if you find outdated links, defunct sites, or old lists, so we can remove them ^^

IP-INSPIRED CINNA DESIGNS

• We are currently looking through all Cinnas and determining if they are inspired by Intellectual Property, so that we may give it a special badge. This badge lets others know if said Cinna is inspired by particular media, which they might want to avoid or be comfortable with owning if they are UFS.
• If you have Cinnas you would like us to review and gift the badge to, please submit a prompt here! https://cinnaverse.net/prompts/prompts?name=inspired&prompt_category_id=none&sort=category  
• Your Cinna may be given the badge if they are determined to be too close to an IP. While we do our best to recognize and deter people from making 1:1 media inspired Cinnas for DMCA reasons, we respect the use of these properties for inspiration and the community’s right to know.
• Just a little note regarding IP Cinnas, we strongly recommend you name them something other than who or what they’re based on, depending on resemblance to the material.
• Toyhouse will remove characters they deem to be stolen/copied and names can be dead giveaways for designs that would otherwise pass on their own.

🔁 POUND GUEST ARTISTS 🔁 

• Our new Pound GAs have been chosen! ! ❤️ We can’t wait to see what you’ve got Cryroe, Ereth2, Wesker, DizzyPossum!

ADMIN MAC RETURN

💝 OFFICIAL ARTISTS AND GUEST ARTISTS 💝

• We are going to be rolling out applications for Guest Artists, and partnering with our current roster ^^ Official Artists are permanently members of the crew, whose work goes above and beyond creative limits. Guest Artists will be chosen every two months and will be cycled out. Some GAs may be asked to become Official Artists ^^ We hope to provide support and opportunities for community members to share their designs and add them to our delicious masterlist! More announcements coming soon!

 ⭐️ STARBOARD ⭐️

• We will be adding a Starboard chat for users to go wild with pins! Let us know if you have any questions or concerns with its purpose or function!

🚀 THE ENIGMA TAIL 🚀

• The King of Tails has granted us a most magnificent gift this May. Some of you may remember our short-lived subreddit, where the King of Tails kindly requested to see some new additions to our roster. Many great tails were chosen that day that remain favorites, and with his return has come the greatest opportunity this species has ever seen!

🌟 The Enigma Tail

Enigma tail is the be-all-end-all of Cinna tail freedom and creation. There may still be contests, votes, and inductions to the classic tail roster, but the Enigma tail will allow for an infinite amount of creations canon to the cinnaverse. Buy using a 🌟 Legendary trait for this tail, your “unofficial” tail can be accepted on any Cinna after review.

Concepts we will not accept:
- nsfw/otherwise offensive designs
- diamond, valknut
- feasible/unexplored fusions of existing tails [existing fused with new concepts is fine]
- joke tails may absolutely be accepted if they follow the design principle

The design philosophy of Cinnas is still being explored, but what makes a Cinna tail must be apparent to be accepted:
- large, at least a quarter to half the size of the Cinna itself
- uniform thickness with minor tapering at the tip
- inward spiral applies to almost all tails
- nickname shape easily discerned [no formless blobs. unless you really want. Needs appropriate name]
- easily shown or implied anchor point[s]
- For most spiral tails, multiple coils [at least x3]

All tails subject to review, naming of your Enigma tail is optional but encouraged. All Enigma Tails on masterlist will be listed as such however, unless it becomes a recognized tail.

By making this tail and submitting it for approval, you consent to letting others explore your concept [personal consent/credits encouraged, not required]

🌟 GOLDEN MEAD 🌟

• Finally! There is a new Legendary Item trait for sale in our shops - Golden Mead
• This item can be applied to any MYO/Custom or existing Cinna to use Legendary Traits that include but arent limited to; Sentient Tails, Sentient Hoods, Enigma Tails, etc. It does not allow the use of Diamond or Valknut Tails. This item may be available in the Item Prompt pool from time to time.
• This item will be available this month in our shop and then disappear. It will make reappearances in the shops for special occasions! It is $25/2500 dA points

CINBUN REDESIGN CONTEST

• We will be hosting a Cinbun Redesign Contest this month! It begins now and will end for judging May 30th! There are no real limits here, besides his general cinnamon roll theme [you can change up the flavor]. Please submit your entry to this Gallery (https://cinnaverse.net/gallery/19) and it will be reviewed at the end of the month!
• Rules:
  
  • Design must resemble Cinbun https://toyhou.se/1592.cinbun and have some Cinnamon Roll flavor inspiration
  • You may choose to let darkvvision keep your entry as an alt form for Cinbun to be displayed in their character gallery [thank you in advance ❤️] Please mark your consent when submitting your entry!
  • You may use any traits besides Diamond and Valknut
  • You may enter as many times as you want
  • 🏆 One Winner will be chosen and will receive two 🌟 Legendary Traits and an art/design trade with darkvvision
  • Every participant will receive 1 Rarity Rune for their first entry

Cinbun hasnt changed much in a decade, help me out!

Cinnabunnalia draws near with our newest update! We hope these changes and additions find you well and bring many opportunities to create and share!

🐰 Cinnabunnalia Gacha is on Saturday, April 29th 🐰

• Compact, nugget-sized designs including most species.
• Not exclusively holiday or seasonally themed!
• $55USD per roll
• You will submit via a google form that will become available closer to the event, and be contacted via an admin for payment purposes soon after.
• As of now, it is one roll per person. This number usually increases prior to or during the event.
• Chats will be created soon for enjoying this event!

🏘️ New Admin Appeared! 🏘️

• Keen-eyed among you may have noticed a new addition to our admin crew. We’re pleased to welcome redcrowz to the team! They’re proficient in the technical side of our Lorekeeper site, and answering species related questions.
• Our former admin Wilderhoney has stepped down, they have chosen to accept a Guest Artist position. Please let them know if you have any concerns regarding owed work.

🎁 New Admin & Guest Artist Permissions 🎁

• New design & sale permissions for all Admins and Guest Artists, reduced cap, etc.
• Staff now have access to nearly all creative avenues regarding customs, adopts, and commissions.
• We value quality over quantity here, and are excited to see your creations come to life as we explore the design language of this species together!
• Guest Artists can now host raffles and giveaways any time in #🦋-giveaways-contests-raffles !

📝 Prompt Schedule Upgrade 📝

• We now allow MYO prompts to be completed every month for a total of 12 Cinnas per year per user! We hope you enjoy the elimination of the cooldown, we’re excited to see your creations!
• These slots are non-transferable before completion & approval.

The Return of the Kings

• Real Cinnaveterans will remember our Tail Event in 2015, where we made multiple Cinnas that had one of a kind tails that were never to be replicated. Some ended up becoming staples, like the Heart Tail. Since this is the decade celebration, we’ve decided to welcome back these forbidden beauties so that they may be enjoyed again with the use of a Defuncket.
• They will be considered Rare. These three tails are;
  ⭐️ Dragonfruit Tail: A tight bun of claws that end in points or hairy tips, and often a flowing stem.
  ⭐️ Surprise Tail: A chaotic, starry, and exceptionally pointy explosion shape.
  ⭐️ Blossom Tail: The counterpart to Dragonfruit; a gaping maw of juicy petals with a flowing tip in the center.

🔁 New Swap-out Pound Diamond Tail Rule 🔁

• We will no longer allow the Diamond Tail trait itself to be redeemable from the pound. Given the intention of this trait is to be given as a gift from the species owner [or staff in some cases], and it is the only trait that is given this special treatment, we’ve decided to stop allowing this type of exchange in the pound.
• You may still place a Diamond tail Cinna in the pound, but now you will only be able to redeem a Restricted Trait in exchange for the tail. We apologize for the inconvenience, and hope you understand the reason behind our decision.
• We understand this trait is in a unique position as far as receiving one - and as much as we’d like to see them distributed more, we don’t think this is a tasteful method. We’re happy to consider other options as our community has grown so much since our inception. We in no way mean to put this trait on a pedestal, however it exists as a statement to an idea that we hold very dear here in Cinnas.

🌵 New Deviantart Points Shop Policy 🌵

•  We’ve been lacking on the Deviantart shop, so we wanted to introduce a new policy when checking out with Points: if your order expires without confirmation from an admin in ❓-ask-the-staff , you will receive it for half off! Don’t be afraid to ping admins to get your approvals seen quickly if you notice we’re missing yours.

🐯 Upcoming changes in May to ⭐️ Wild trait

• We will be dissolving Panthera, Snub, Wolf, and Borzoi and allowing them all for common use.

I’d like to make an announcement about a certain fandom that has begun to bloom through different platforms; if anyone is familiar with PartyCoffin and their independent story Welcome Home.
This creator has come out with discomfort about a lack of consent and boundaries from some fans and we would like to bring this message to any fans in our community that we will not allow any IP based cinnas from Welcome Home due to the fact that whether it’s MYO or Custom, we would be making money off of someone’s work; PartyCoffin is one person and we wouldn’t feel comfortable taking money from anyone at this time.

If at any point they make another announcement in the future expressing more comfortable grounds, we will be happy to change this announcement!
Of course you’re allowed to make OCs and art of this fandom, the creator is fine with that, we only want to make sure that we aren’t taking potential income from a singular artist who is struggling at this time.

Thank you so much for your understanding and support at this time in both communities!

Merry Bunny Season to you all, Cinnafriends 💐 this month we have some fun new content for you to enjoy, as well as event news, another group project, and more.

We hope it finds you well!

💐 Cinnabunnalia is next month! 💐

This will be celebrated in the form of a Gacha on April 25th 🐰

These will be done by all of our admins and GAs, nugget-sized, and will include a variety of species to collect and trade.

More updates to come as we get closer!

MAGIC CARROTS

🥕 With the coming of Spring, we’re pleased to tell that our stock of Magic Carrots and bundles are back for the entirety of the season!

Check them out in our stores, and one is available each month for our MYO prompt to redeem ^^

Customs of this species / ear type can also be taken by all of our staff for the duration of the season 🐇

🍕 Another shipment has arrived to our shelves you say? ❓

Soupons and Foupons are back permanently and will no longer be on rotation in the store.

Enjoy access to funky flavors to use with your MYOs and customs any time!

Bundles and singles will be available sometime after this announcement. These items will be available in our Item Prompt as well.

🏦 We have one more bundle item AND a shop discount to show you too!

We’ve combined all three of our rarity tickets into one for $20!

You get one of each! These can be split up and transferred separately once in your inventory. This item will appear in our shops shortly!

⭐️ Single Defunckets and bundles will be in store for April along with a new fun update 👁️

🍀 DISCORD BANNER 🍀

🎲 This month’s banner is made by our very own PLXLEDUST ❤️ originally, we had a collaboration piece by our previous raffle winners, which we have decided is much more fitting for April - you’ll see their lovely work soon! Next month we will host a raffle to choose the collaborators for May’s banner 💝

SWITCHING STONE CHANGE

 We have made a slight alteration to the function of one of our items, the Switching Stone.

• OLD FUNCTION: Allows a Cinna to permanently swap into a Cinnadog, Cinnacat, Teacup, or Munchkin.
• NEW FUNCTION: Allows a Cinnadog to permanently swap into a Cinnacat or vice versa. Allows a Teacup to permanently swap into a Munchkin or vice versa.

This change eliminates certain loopholes and allows a more fair swap function.

REDESIGN TICKET CLARIFICATION

We also want to make a quick note regarding the Redesign Ticket in terms of changing a tail or traits on your Cinna;

Tail changes do not require this ticket, unless it somehow dramatically alters the overall design of your Cinna
For example, a tail that has an extensive scenery-style type painting, or a boa/backpack tail that covers some or most of the Cinna’s body - changing these, in many cases, means some new markings might have to be made that make your Cinna appear as a new design.

The change in markings, silhouette, and color combined are what we consider Redesign territory. Swapping traits will mostly not require this ticket! We hope thats clear ^^ A new easy guide is in the works to help visualize these types of situations.

📝 From now on, prompts and news will now be updated on the 10th of each month together ❤️

We hope you all enjoy this news and don’t mind the next few hours as we make updates to our store.

Please contact darkvvision if you would like to request clarification, or would like to see information condensed or updated on our Lorekeeper! Don't be afraid to suggest more changes, events, items, or prompts any time in our #⭐-feedback-suggestions channel on Discord, and enjoy this beautiful March! ❤️ Love you all

Hello Cinnafriends, and a merry midwinter to you all! 💝 

This month we have a variety of changes implemented to our new site, a brand new Cinnapet surprise, and more sneak peeks at this year’s secrets.

🏦 PLease take a look at our brand new shop! 

Our Weebly site is still a working shop, but this site will be defunct and offline within the next couple months as we fully shift over to one site for everything Cinna-related. From this date on, our old site will cease new updates as we focus on cleaning and streamlining our Lorekeeper. We hope you can rest easy knowing this platform shift is permanent.

Our points shop is also still here on deviantART if you have any of those laying around! 

📖 Our TOS section is undergoing some much-needed revisions for the new decade.

The most prevalent of these is our Commercial Use section, which we will post here for you all to peek at:

📝 We are going to leave the prompts section of our Discord visible until the 20th of this month,

and then they will be archived and replaced with a single launchpad chat that will host threads containing the prompts and a link to the submission page for all to view easily in Discord. If you need further help after this closing date, feel free to reach out to an admin - but we heavily encourage you to seek your proof as soon as possible.

🐢 We are so very excited to introduce a new Cinnapet to the Cinnaverse for you to explore and use in your wonderful worlds.

These sweet turtle-shaped friends are known as Chirtles [kur-tills]. Their description is as follows, as displayed on our site;

Chirtle [kur-till] are initially small, spiral-shelled creatures native to the world of Cinnas. Their shells grow naturally into many familiar shapes, and they inhabit a wide variety of biomes. These creatures have a long lifespan, and can grow to such sizes that they have been known to carry a band of Cinnas across treacherous carbonated oceans, shifting sugary deserts, and fiery lakes of spice and oil.
Their shells can grow in all Cinna Tail shapes, can grow to a range of sizes, and exhibit a stunning array of defenses for the natural world.

Thank you to Meowlotov for this wonderful contribution to the Cinnaverse! They will soon be hosting a raffle as a celebration for this new addition to the world

More graphics and info to come featuring these new pets. With 1 Construct Sugar , you can make one and interpret their older counterparts freely. Your masterlist image must resemble its young form, with shell shape somewhat visible.

🌈 Our new banner this month will be made by the incredibly talented GreaserDemon 🤎

We are more than excited to feature community-made art for our monthly banners as well, feel free to suggest ways we can accept submissions and plan future pieces, as well as group-collaborative events with prizes for excellent teamwork and a new awesome portfolio piece for us all to share.

🐰 There are whispers from the undergrowth of the bringer of the new year...

Tall ears and little noses twitch eagerly as the scent of warm treats begins to flood the forest once more. Keep your beswirled eyes and floppy ears alert for our friends, they will be returning sooner than you think.

Enjoy all the news!
