Story:
He met Quickstar at the border when he was ten moons old, recently kicked out of the abandoned building he’d been living in. Clan life sounded so amazing that he joined it in a heartbeat, leaving behind everything he once knew.
He got the name Berryclaw, and tried to ignore the way his new Clanmates looked at him. He finally convinced the elderly medicine cat, Morningshade, to tell him about Berrywhisper, who apparently looked exactly like him.
He had a normal life, became mates with Shadetail, and became a well-respected warrior.
He would later learn that in the moons approaching the war between Clubmossclan, Beeclan, and a gang of rogues. Morningshade received a prophecy: as berries rot and branches fall, sunlight would guide the way.
The next few moons were tough ones, with the whole Clan gloomy and resentful.
Berryclaw and Quickstar became very close friends, and he became basically a second deputy alongside Owen.
Berryclaw and Deeppatch began developing crushes on each other, and both grew distant from their own mates. It wasn’t long after that Deepbranch broke up with his mate, and he and Berryclaw became mates in secret. Together, they had two kits, Thymekit and Kestrelkit. Berryclaw’s heart ached as Shadetail’s look of betrayal.
Tensions ran higher than ever, and war broke out between the rogues, Clubmossclan, and Beeclan. A large portion of their Clan were working with Root, who was playing all sides and tearing the Clans apart from the inside.
Clanmates turned on each other during a bloody battle, with twenty six of them dying. Berryclaw pulled as many cats away from the fire as he could, away from the ruthless fighting. Despite his best efforts, many cats were left with severe injuries. Most of them weren’t so lucky.
Owen was one of them, and retired after having both his legs broken. Berryclaw was promoted to deputy, and all Clans came away in shambles. The warrior, Sunny, was always by his side as his friend, and Sunny promised to protect Berryclaw’s newest litter: Brokenkit, Mintkit, RowakKit, Loudkit.
His oldest daughters earned their warrior names, miraculously having both survived, and Berryclaw took this as an omen of good future. Kestrelear even had a daughter, Maplekit!
Then, Quickstar died from an infection he’d had for many seasons, and Berrystar found himself leading a Clan overnight. He appointed Sunny as his deputy, and Berrystar always wondered about the approving looks MorningShade would send them.
Two years into his leadership, Berrystar found two dead cats in a badger den reeling of sickness. The den was stuffed with lavender, and Berrystar felt a pang in his heart for the young cats. He dragged them away from the den so that he could give them a proper Clan burial, even as Starclan begged him to leave them.
The cats who helped him bury them got sick, and it spread through the Clan so fast they barely had time to identify it. Wolfcough. Barely ten cats were left in each Clan by the end, and for a long year, the remaining cats had tried to fight against the sickness.
Berrystar tried to separate the Clan into groups, isolating those at risk. The land was deemed cursed, and the very few cats who lived followed Sunny and Berrystar into a new territory.
Half way through the journey, Berrystar was plagued by nightmares of shadowy creature with bloody eyes calling his name. Starclan cut off all contact with him, and he told Sunny he couldn’t go to the new land, and that Sunny would have to lead them himself.
BerryStar returned to the camps, rotting bodies piled high, and curled up by the corpses of his friends until the sickness claimed him too.
Additional information:
--Submission by @wills-woodland-warriors
--Poor guy is in shock when he sees Quickstar in the Dark Forest, and then probably murders Root, and then later is even more shocked when Sunny pops up in the Dark Forest alongside Morningshade. Told you it’s a murder family.
--Big whoops

Reblog the fundraisers you mfs!!!!! I don't know why you all skip those to reblog some pic of a banner saying "FREE PALESTINE" or of news from Columbia University! Literally these people from Gaza have made an account on Tumblr and is writing in english to communicate what they need and you all are coming onto my blog or on the tag and not reblogging their posts. We have people both Palestinian and non Palestinian vetting the fundraisers! I mean more the reblogs, more the chance of the fundraisers gaining momemtum, the more there would be a chance of a donation. Please donate if you can and reblog!!! and follow them if it is possible.
@/mohammedayesh has posted about getting leaflets, telling them to evacuate Rafah. They are very low on funds. Go follow them and reblog their posts and donate if possible.
We have @/haneenatya too whose mother is suffering from eye stroke and need to evacuate. Please I have been following them for some days and it doesn't seem their own posts are getting much attention.
Follow them! They are on tumblr. Reblog their posts and donate. The protests in universities are being done on account of them. They should be our focus.
(EDIT: on re-reading my post it seems as if I am dismissing all that the students of universities are doing. I am not. I just meant, since all of it is to help Palestinians, we must not ignore them when they ask for help).

The Eurovision song contest is facing intense scrunity and accusations of discrimination after it rebuked Swedish-Palestinian pop star Eric Saade for wearing a Palestinian scarf in the opening act of the semi-finals.
Saade, whose father is of Palestinian origin, kicked off the first semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest in Malmo, Sweden on Tuesday evening with a keffiyeh, a traditional Palestinian and Arab male headdress, wrapped around his wrist.
[...] In response, the organisers of the contest, European Broadcasting Union (EBU) released a statement saying it "regretted" that Saade wore the scarf.
"The Eurovision Song Contest is a live TV show. All performers are made aware of the rules of the contest, and we regret that Eric Saade chose to compromise the non-political nature of the event," it said.
[...] Eurovision later posted clips of the performances of the other two opening acts on its social media pages, but did not share Saade’s, prompting social media users to share the performance on their personal pages to show support for the artist.
Waving Palestinian flags, wearing traditional Palestinian garments, or if we're being honest, just being Palestinian, is now officially "too political" for Eurovision.
Literally, all Saade did was wear a keffiyeh around his wrist—while being Palestinian—and that was enough to get a statement from the EBU, and have his opening performance scrubbed from Youtube.
If you're not already boycotting Eurovision this year, then what the fuck is wrong with you?
Below are two statements from Saade. The first one, giving his reason for participating, was posted a few days ago, and the other was in response to the EBU accusing him of 'compromising the non-political nature' of the Genocide Song Contest:
Reminder again to BOYCOTT EUROVISION 🇵🇸
