Currently thinking about Fabian Seacaster, finally home after the ordeal in the Forest of the Nightmare King, alone in his room and finding himself fully unable to sleep the way he used to before everything. Because it's dark and the blackout curtains in his room make the shadows seem too real, like they're slowly creeping towards him to consume him whole, and his friends, his party isn't here to protect him while he sleeps.

#i havent seen junior year yet but i heard he's home alone #ten bucks that his insomnia gets worse #at least before he could leave his room and run into cathilda or one of his dad's pirates #now his dad and his crew are all gone #cathilda isnt here #now its just him in the dark alone #he loves that big comfortable bed of his but he hasn't sprawled out across it since he came back from the forest #it just doesnt feel safe without his friends there with him #fabian seacaster #fantasy high

How was the Mousefur “mixed” clan meeting received in BB!?

Mmmmmmmmmmmbadly

Dustpelt, Mousefur, and Thornclaw took reputation hits for the stunt. ThunderClan is the Fire Alone Clan and they got up there to put forth concerns about kittens. Lil baby kittens.

They ended up getting shouted down, any cats who leaned Traditionalist were probably willing to admit "concerns" in private, but the minute someone like Squirrelflight bellows, "BOOO" and her buddies join in it's pretty hard to argue against an angry crowd.

I need to find a better way to word this but someone should get a little bit of a sassy moment, "let's go chuck the kittens in the lake so we can unlock Queen’s Rights 2"

If Frostfur is still alive at this point, she is incredibly disappointed. She probably talks to both Thornclaw and Dustpelt about it privately, but somehow, she expected it of Thornclaw who hung out with Grandma Speckletail too much.

Dustpelt?!

"No, please, don't speak just listen. I want you to think about Ravenpaw. Do you remember what Tigerclaw made us believe about him? How they made you think he inherited more of your Honor Sire than you? So that everyone believed he was a weakness to purge for being too mixed? ...I was reminded of that, today."

Lays awake that night next to Ferncloud, unable to sleep, SUPER embarassed and hot with shame. It dawns on him that Tigerclaw probably targeted his in-law Brindleface because she agreed to suckle Cloudkit and also had an Honor Sire for Fern, Elder, and Ash.

Thornclaw never gets an apprentice after the stunt, Spiderleg is permanently his only. He realizes that he blew his chance at deputyship under Firestar FOREVER by backing up Mousefur's impromptu rally, and is one of the Dark Forest's first targets when they start recruiting in Po3.

Mousefur retires, feeling old, tired, and being publically shot down BADLY.

#better bones au #BB!TNP #Functionally the scene demonstrates a contrast to RiverClan #As we see Hawkfrost able to leverage crowds in the opposite direction #It also sets up how offended Thornclaw is and how he doubles down #Since this is the issue on which the Dark Forest gets him #He helped Grandma take out a bulldozer and now this is how he will be remembered?#(Yes)

To think about it, when Hunter ran off, they probably spent the entire night searching for him. Because a kid with Belos on his tail alone in the woods, on the Boiling Isles of all places, is certainly not safe. Dana did not neglect to make these people decent, they probably spent hours, combing every nook and cranny, calling out the name, “Hunter,” possibly ringing up people and calling in for extra help, until they absolutely had to call it a night when they were sure there was no trace of him. And it would’ve definitely fucked Luz up.

#the owl house #the owl house spoilers #dana terrace #luz noceda #toh hunter #the golden guard #the owl house golden guard #I want you to imagine them combing the forest outside their home with Luz using her phone light and Eda using a flashlight #calling into the darkness ‘HUNTER’ ‘KID’ and getting no response #Luz is calling and texting Willow and Gus and when they turn up with no response her anxiety only grows and grows #right now she’s putting her new recent trauma behind her to confront Hunter could DIE in the woods #they all head inside without sign of Hunter and Luz has blown up Hunter’s phone with 100+ messages to check if he’s okay: No response #she’s nervously twiddling about it day in and day out until Eda has to tell her if he hasn’t contacted her yet it’s best to give it time #and then she completely shuts down #she’s been so terrified and scared that it kinda- Goes down the drain

i've been looking at bg3's stats again and i'm honestly surprised that tieflings are not as popular as i thought they would since i've been seeing so many badass looking tiefling ocs around

#personal #also i wanna try paladin class now after the stats and in general heard they are really cool to play as #a bit divided if i should make my dark urge paladin or cleric first #''100 000 players have been rejected by astarion'' HOW DO Y'ALL GOT REJECTED BY HIM LMAOOOOO #not even by the end of act 1 the entire camp wanted to fck me including him #he even asked me twice in the game lets go fck in the forest or something dljkgfldlgkd #surprised at the number of ppl choosing gale as the origin play first #ngl after the entire game i like him a lot more now so i probably would too #''players spoke to over 1 400 000 corpses'' that was just me trying to find a good angle to gif my character dkljgdkl

Oh yes. This guy's back!

#i always imagined him long and thin like a windclan cat. and scruffy and raggedy #even though he's now canonically a shadowclan cat I'm still sticking to that image #snowtuft #shadowclan #warrior cats #my art #i left him without eye shinies intentionally. something inherently creepy about someone's eyes not reflecting light i think #seems fitting for the dark forest

not to be full of it but i think making my own version of ivypool has endeared me to her a lot more. i feel like im 12 again. i needed to give that girl mommy issues and i needed to make her SPIRAL

#btw i might name her ivyleaf in my verse? shes deliberately named after both leafpool and hollyleaf #and its meant to be bramblestar attempting to be nice without actually apologizing or doing anything substantial #and actually looks REALLY bad coming from him specifically and everyone assumes the opposite intent (and are totally justified)#like ''ok i know i ruined my ex sil's life and my daughter died soon after i disowned her... but like... this can be an honor thing''#but ivypool is ofc canon and i can probably do the same here since thats leafpools unique suffix #ik irl ivypool is named after a friend of vicky's i believe but i want it to have more meaning here #actually itd probably be even more wtf cause ''pool'' is so specific to leafpools accomplishment that its very confusing coming from brambl #like he wants to go ''ok. well your grandma did this nice thing. so you're cool for being her grandkid i guess''#but like... he hates leafpool. everyone knows he hates leafpool.#bramble literally demoted her out of spite and fucked thunderclan over cause she was the only medic #of course ivypool takes it the wrong way. shes in her grandmas shadow now and feels like a fraud #cause shes training in the dark forest so doesnt feel like shes earned such a suffix #razorverse

I don’t know as much as i should about warriors to make this post but . I really like the idea of an au where one of mapleshades kits survives and become firestars grandparent or smth because imagine her finding out about leafpool and seeing ashfur go to starclan would she protect her great grandkids would she even know. so many thoughts

#warrior cats #warriors #Mapleshade au #see cuz from my understanding of the character she’s like pure chaotic evil right willing to do anything to avenge her kits and the #betrayal of her former mate.#even though her own actions lead too the kits thing #but like can you fucking imagine that anger directed towards the dark forest? or Tigerstar even? that shit is interesting it’s not cuz he’s #cuz like. that’s her family her kits kits the one thing she’s ever cared about was her kits so like watching tiger try and kill them ofc #she would be pissed but like does that make her a better person now her anger and hatred is directed at ‘’the bad guys”’’ I don’t know!#maybe? it’s really interesting ahajajaja #but also like #I don’t think i would wanna write this au cuz a I haven’t read the books so I’d miss details and it’s possible I misunderstand the charater #and b I have too many ongoing projects #this is a prompt #warriors au

Someday, I will buckle down and write my sexy monster fucking version of King Lindworm, where the prince stays at least semi-dragonfied. But see, I'm torn. Do I make the monster prince cis and he's semi-dragonfied from the wedding night, and now he's just the heir to throne and also a traumatized, aggressive monster boy married to a Very Weird peasant girl who's THE FUTURE QUEEN NOW and also yeah she's kind of a witch and oh by the way the prince is VERY MUCH not a regular person and oh by the way you know all those princesses he ate? Yeah their dads are like mad.

Or

OR

Is he only called 'the prince' because dragons are all intersex and their gender is always self-selected? Is his human form female and the peasant girl actually does complete the ritual and EVERYONE is surprised? And the king and queen just chuck their new 'princess' in a dungeon to rot out of sight and send peasant-queen home to her goddamn mill like you didn't see shit and she's like actually no I am angry AND fearless AND very horny for dragons and her trans dragon husband is all I WILL break out of here I WILL learn the magic it takes to get my real body back I WILL find my wife and the human prince is sweating goddamn bullets as Deranged Peasant Witch and Deranged Trans Dragon Prince and Idiot Moron Queen are all plotting different plots and several of these plots end with him dead.

#Juliet the Swift is a fairy by blood and a witch by learning and a Grim by trade and she is owed a debt #she took binding vows of marriage and performed a dangerous ritual risking her life for a kingdom that she does not belong to #she did this because it was the right thing to do and she honored her word to the highest possible degree #and now those owing the debt are NOT doing the right thing at all and will not give what is hers by right and might #she does not think is owed a crown or a throne or a title #merely her husband (and all that might come with him)#Sollen is just angry #Sollen was born angry and Sollen has lived angry and Sollen knows he will die angry #he does not know what he wants nor does he cared what he is owed #he knows the hunt he knows pursuit he knows blood and combat and speed and survival #and he will not survive this dungeon he will not survive this renewed horror they seek to punish him with #at birth they hurled him into the deep dark forest to die and he grew strong there and he returned to his spawning ground #like a fucking salmon #and he is too Angry to give up here #Prince Kasper is hiding in the belfry leave him alone

Runningnose

EDIT: My rewrite has come a long way since this post, it was one of the first! Lizardstripe and Brokenstar have been changed massively, so I slightly edited this entry.

As a kid I completely missed the fact that Runningnose participated in the rebellion, and assumed Brokenstar just replaced his medicine cat with a yes man. That’s why he can’t cure his own cold-- Brokenstar just picked someone who would patch up his child soldiers and not complain.

People remember him as Poor Meow Meow With Sniffles but I always imagined him kind of grimy, dark-humored, and serious. This is a guy who let a kitten die unmedicated because he was focusing on saving Nightstar.

REWRITE STUFF UNDER THE CUT

So in my rewrite, he’s Brokenstar’s truest ally, and his closest confidant. I don’t see Runny as being ‘evil‘ (very few of my rewritten characters are), but he deeply believes that every Clan should look out for itself. To him, the Warrior Code is a weakness the other clans bind themselves with.

He’s intelligent and scheming, to match Brokenstar’s passion and brute force. He covered the claws of combatants in deathberry juice to cause poisoning after a battle, and concocted battle herbs to send ShadowClan warriors into frenzies. Most importantly, he always knew the right words to say; “Yes, and.“

It was Runningnose who had an eye for exploiting the loopholes within the code. It says not to kill... unless necessary for self-defense. It says not to make apprentices before 6 moons... but says nothing about early warriors.

He probably knew that Nightstar wouldn’t get his lives as long as Brokenstar was alive, but he would never intentionally let ShadowClan go without a proper leader. He had a paw in Tigerclaw’s attempted coup of ThunderClan, and probably a little more than a passive role in his coronation in ShadowClan, too. After all, he would never leave it leaderless... but deputyless? Besides, he didn’t bring home that infected bat-- I mean... rat.

Eventually, he offers Blackstar a more ‘informed‘ choice between the Dark Forest and StarClan, and retires shortly after he learns what path Blackstar has decided to walk down. After he passes away, he chooses the Place of No Stars willingly, faithfully awaiting the return of his beloved Brokenstar.

I wanted to make my design different from the snot-nose that most artists give him, so he has markings that look like permanent boogers and eyebags. He always looks sticky, and there’s something sinister in his golden eyes. I should have made him more clearly gray though, he comes across as black-and-white but he is actually gray-and-white.

#Bonefall Rewrite #Runningnose #Runningnose AU #Warrior Cats #You could call it an evil Runningnose AU if you wanted but it's not how I see it #OH also Littlecloud is a son of Brokenstar in this rewrite #But he was born quite weak so Broken and Runny both wrote him off #Until he survived that illness and it warmed Runny's heart like a coal-powered flame #But I'll get into that if I write about Littlecloud #But but also Littlecloud LOVES the code and honor and all that good stuff #It's a sign for Runny later on that Times Are Changing and he sort of just. Lets go of power.#AND NOW THE DARK FOREST HAS A MEDIC TA-DAA

Known Victims: Shinekit, Caimankit, Chipmunkpaw, Mousepaw

Victim Profile: young kits and apprentices

Cause of Death: tortured to death by Caimankit's spirit

Cautionary Tale: N/A

Story:

Rabbitstar is a ancient leader of ThunderClan, so long ago, in fact, that the time of his era is erased from most memories, save for one elder.

During their time alive, they were known as a ruthless leader. Though very distant, everyone started to silently dislike him after they chose Thistlefang as a deputy.

They were known to get into any battles if given the chance, no thought needed, no matter if they were sending their own warriors into certain death.

In spite of being leader, no one knew much about them at all, if they ever spoke.

Their first victim, Caimankit, was around 3-4 moons at death. While he was sleeping peacefully and his mother was away, Rabbitstar slunk into the nursery and silently snapped his neck, blaming the 'shocking news' on something trivial.

Chipmunkpaw and Mousepaw were next, a duo of two rambunctious apprentices. The two were excited to have the leader bring them along on a special patrol, and were even more excited when they heard that they were walking toward a very special surprise--not knowing, of course, that that surprise would be venom sprayed in their eyes and snake bites to their flesh.

The last kit, Shinekit, wasnt without a witness. Her sister, Sorrelkit saw them snap Shinekits neck, as such the very next day Rabbitstar received a passive-aggressive warning from Shinekit's ''gardian angel'' --Canaryfeather, and the next thing they knew, Rabbitstar was in a state of sleep-like paralysis.

Caimankit, tired of seeing him getting away with all of this, decided to take his spirit and torture him, as in just not letting him do anything as he slowly takes all of their lives. Rabbitstar could only move his eyes and flail his legs. He couldn't move, could only watch as Caimankit strangled him, gave him claw-wounds (as deep as a kit could get them, a tleast), and let him drift uneasilyin and out of consciousness.

The medicine cat at the time, Brightspark, had to ask the medicine cats from the other Clans for help, but it was to no avail. Nothing would have worked, but to be save, little Caimenkit wandered around nearby to distract them from saving their patient.

in the end, Brightspark called in Nightlake, the medicine cat of ShadowClan, known to have had the strongest connection to StarClan out of all of them.

Nightlake decided he wanted to get Rabbitstar to the Moonpool to see if they could make him return all of his lives (as none of them knew how many lives he had left), and Brightspark decided to help him out with dragging his body.

As they were about to dunk rabbitstar in the freezing water, something unexpected happened.

Rabbitstar's stomach suddenly burst open, blood spilling and organs practically crawling out across the rocks. Horrified and utterly alarmed, Nightlake and Brightspark could only stare at the scene for several long heartbeats before finally deciding that this was as bad an omen as they could recieve, and left him there.

Additional Information:

--submission by @penny-fitzgeraldz Welcome!!!

--A part of a crossover au (kinda William Afton? its a very specific version).

-- They really didn't care about choosing a deputy, they only chose Thistlefang as a deputy because they were the first cat they saw in sight.

--Sorrelkit becomes the elder mentioned in the beginning!

tawnypelt and dovewing really feels like such a natural fit for a good bond between the two characters because tawnypelt has not only been in dovewings shoes in being ostracized from her birth clan over stuff she couldnt control and moving to shadowclan to feel close to family that does care about her, but i always got the impression that tawnypelt has made peace with her past, not stewing in bitterness over it. like, she knows shes from thunderclan, she knows shes the daughter of tigerstar, shes mature enough to just let all that slide now and focus on the life she’s built over there, but doesn’t hate her thunderclan family either, like she still cares about bramblestar clearly. so if she sees another thunderclan cat who left her clan because she felt ostracized and disrespected, i don’t think she’d go “EUGH ew im projecting my past onto her because i hate myself for what i did and outsiders BAD” i think she would be a good mentor figure for dove and help her adjust and get along with her new clanmates.

like if tawnypelt was apparently super bitter over all that and still hated thunderclan so much that she hated any cat that was from there, that doesnt come through in the text before her novella. she constantly goes over there for refuge she constantly confides in her brother she cares about where she came from but doesnt belong there. there is literally nooooooooo good reason for her to just hate dovewing besides the erins loving petty but boring drama that will never be expanded upon

#everything ive seen from her novella feels so off tbh. why is she kidnapping a baby #why is tigerstar demonized for not wanting his infant son to go on a long perilous journey to where people have died #(his infant son w seizures also who has already been on a risky journey and iirc did almost die on it. he is death prone)#what is the point of the novella besides ''oh well we dont want tawnypelt to be deputy bc shes a conservative''#anyways. adding this to the rewrite in my head tawnypelt is dovewings shadowclan bestie #i also think she'd just feel protective to dove bc tiger is all she has left of her children now and shes the mother of his kids #and now she just wants one of her kids to finally have a happy life and move on and have a happy family #after all shes suffered and after flametail died and after dawnpelt was murdered by her daughter and after tigerheart #was ostracized for being lured into the dark forest #like. mayyybe yeah she'd be leery bc what if dove ends up hurting him in the end by going back to thunderclan #but i dont think she'd linger on that for too long given what shes been through herself #echoed voice
