enough of soft shy fallenleaves, he would have a dead, wide eyed stare, he would smell of mold, he would guilt trip hollyleaf into staying forever in the tunnels with him, he would latch on, he would be a parasite, he would be lonely

Windclan's deputy at the lakeplace and Crowfeather's mom. I honestly don't remember much from her. I need to read more of the newer super editions someday.

Warriors - Smoky
The father of Berrynose, Hazeltail and Mousewhisker. I wanted him to be a big boy with a little comboy flair. First he had a bandanna, but I decided to drop that and my brain thought "moustache markings" when it thought for a next best cowboy thing.

Ravenpaw and Barley
They really do deserve each other. I've wanted to draw this for a while. It took a bit to render that hay but I like the effect.

"Who's my little fluff butt?"
"Tawny, not here. Everyone will hear."
"... It's me... o///o"

Just a little headcanon. I like to think that Tawnypelt is a bit of a flirt and that Rowanclaw gets easily flustered.

can someone like draw whitestorm becoming brightpaw's mentor again after she recovers from the dog attack. for my own wellbeing
i really wish we got more reactions from mentors when something happened to their apprentices. give me whitestorm being worried to death & checking in on brightpaw. give me whitestorm being there for longtail's grieving. give me longtail encouraging brightpaw to keep going for the sake of their lost friend. give me a support group around brightpaw such as whitestorm, longtail, fireheart, one-eye(credit to this great animatic), thornpaw and the other apprentices, not just cloudtail. we didn't even get a reaction from thornpaw- literally brightpaw's brother- i don't think. give me a repeat of brackenpaw supporting cinderpaw(not canon either i don't believe but here's a link to another amazing animatic!) with thornpaw supporting brightpaw. it's just so Important. just give me non-romantic supportive relationships PLEASE.

Warriors - Purdy
I wasn't sure if I wanted him to be a more softer, round grandpa type or a more frail and skinny grandpa type, so I based him on my own grandpas, which are the more frail kind.

Warriors - Blossomfall
Pettiest sister award of the year over here. I think there coud be a novella or a super edition about the dark forest trainees as a whole or just povs certain ones.
I just feel like they didn't get explored as much as they needed. But, I haven't read vision of shadows yet, so there could be more I don't know about.

BB!MALICIOUS ENTITY: Ancestor Rats
A cruel fate that can befall a shattered pantheon, and the enemies of Firestar's Quietus
Tumblr media
With SkyClan homeless and exiled at the end of the Skyfall Era, StarClan itself was in chaos. 1/5th of their ranks broke from the sky to walk with their descendants into exile, with only some of the most powerful ancestors staying behind.
Skystar himself, Patron of War, was one of them. He scoffed that a Clan that couldn't hold even a sliver of land had failed his teachings, and deserved nothing.
Scores of cats died in exile, starved, exposed, killed by predators. Cloudstar desperately tried to keep his cats together as SkyClan dwindled. Soon, there were barely enough cats to maintain a Clan, let alone such a large pantheon.
When Cloudstar died, his successor Spiderstar found herself facing a new threat. One she couldn't defeat.
Over and over, there were rats who would attack the camp. Horrible, twisted creatures of many colors, with sharp claws like a cat and jaws full of needle teeth. They swirled like a storm around a central point, wound so tightly that it was impossible to see what lay at the eye.
While watching baby spiders fly away from their mother on little silk balloons, Spiderstar devised a Great Plan. SkyClan would live apart but connected, loosely, like a web. The Rats could not kill what they could not find.
As she watched her Clan disperse, some to humans homes, some to live as rogues, the blood roared in her ears. It pounded, throbbed into a rythmn, until the words of a prophecy became overwhelming,
"EEK SHARRARRAM SSARSHAIWO!"
[Rat ancestors disastrous-they-will-kill]
Could this be true? Would their ancestors save them from the rats, someday?
Tumblr media
(Below the cut; a guide to Ancestor Rats and how they are dealt with in Firestar's Quietus. CONTENT WARNING: BODY HORROR, GORE.)
Firestar's Quietus; The Secret of the Rats
Exactly as before, when Firestar and the spirit of Brokenstar gathered the SkyClan web together, the rats had one point of attack. They washed over the soon-to-be warriors in a wave, but they were able to fight them off.
Skywatcher laid on his side in the clearing, trembling and wide eyed, covered in horrible bites. At first they could barely get a word out of him, too shaken to speak. When he was finally able to force a word out, he could only mumble;
"I saw Lowbranch. That was my mother..."
And then, someone else came forward, sharing that one rat had the same stripes as their brother. Another recognized their son's tufts on another's ears. The camp buzzed with tension as the stories bubbled forth.
Everyone recognized something in the rats.
Something had happened to their ancestors. Something terrible. It became clear why they had never answered their prayers or sent a hero to save them. Brokenstar tried to reach them, but he could only hear a command echoing in the darkness.
"Neek urrspeekorreen urrsnyarhak, karrl urrsnakochya." "THAT WHICH CANNOT BE FIXED, MUST BE BROKEN"
It was only later, when they went to confront the rats once and for all, that they realized what those words meant. Stumbling out into the dim light out of the barn, they saw them.
Tumblr media
Those weren't just rats!
And the most horrible thing of all was the atrocity behind it all, the creature at the center of the swirling, agonized mass, the eye of the storm...
The Rat Leader; Cloudstar
Tumblr media
He promised to keep his Clan together. So he did.
As each life wasted away and his Clan dwindled, smaller and smaller, as their heaven crumbled above them and became too tiny to hold their ancestors, Cloudstar kept them in one piece.
When he died, that mission continued. Trapped as this cursed creature, Cloudstar was mindlessly commanding his cats like a storm around him, dragging in both the dead and the living in a desperate attempt to save the Clan he'd vowed to protect.
SkyClan could not mend until this curse was broken. These fallen angels needed to be released, by force, to rejoin a new heaven of modern making. Slipping into the body of Firestar, Brokenstar was able to lend all of his talents for one final fight. It was just like being back at Carrionplace.
With his purpose as the fallen 5th tree, a guardian spirit, fulfilled and the rats freed from their prisons, Brokenstar's soul grew sleepy with peace. Firestar buried the acorn necklace that he had used to channel him overlooking the gorge, where it quickly sprouted into a new oak.
Rat Ancestors; Tome of Beasts
Tumblr media
When an afterlife is destroyed, through mass death or supernatural attack, and the spirits within it cannot peacefully fade away or join a new pantheon, all of its souls can become earth-bound.
There are many types of entities and curses in this world, each one completely unique. Ancestor Rats are the form that this pantheon took.
From a distance, an Ancestor Rat could be mistaken for an odd, escaped domestic rodent. Their faces were an unsettling mix of rat and cat, with teeth laid out like a cat's but endlessly growing like a rat. They had the blade-like claws of a Clan cat, tearing through the skin and laying at various angles.
They had no physical needs, but were unable to handle being separated from their leader. Cloudstar himself, however, did need to rest in some way, returning to the barn where he died every day.
When one was killed, it would flash blue as if briefly turning into a shard of the sky, before leaving a completely standard rat corpse in its place. As long as Cloudstar was alive, the pulsar of each spirit would simply be dragged back into another rat after some time.
There was no escape until he was killed.
After the defeat of the Ancestor Rats, the spirits moved on to SkyClan's special heaven; Skypelt. Even after moving to the lake, Skypelt maintains its independence from Silverpelt, judging its own souls and staying separate (but connected) to StarClan-Prime.
With an abundance of rat bodies on their paws, SkyClan started a morbid tradition for a very special celebration. "The New Day" is celebrated every year with a grand feast, where a traditional rat meat dish called "Roasted Grandpaw" is served.

"It was an instinct... Like hunger." An alternate universe where Squirrelflight is the reincarnation of Scourge.
Long time no see! Everyone knows me how much I love the narrative of "history repeating" - in this case, Scourge dies only to be reincarnated as the daughter of the cat who killed him. Scourge's "power" (life stealing ;)) is transferred to Squirrelflight, who discovers it upon disemboweling Bramblestar.
As deputy at the time, she becomes leader of Thunderclan - completing the cycle of her past life.
