Thank you for making Squilf a Nasty Sassy Little Lady. You have brought honor to us all

It's soo easy to like... strip away what makes Squilf so meaningful. People trying to say that her mouthing off at someone who's being rude to her or being generally mean when she's stressed out makes her "out of character" and sometimes it feels like... "Do you like Squirrelflight or do you just like the fawning, guilt-ridden version of her during the worst abuse in her life in OotS?"

She's not the "perfect little victim" which ends up being the only rep abuse survivors get; She mouths off at her abuser and gets punished for it, she's forced into situations where she MUST break rules and agonizes when she has to do the inevitable, and she forgives him, agreeing that she needs to take "equal blame" because She Did "Bad" Things Too

Soooo often (and even in warriors because i dont think for a moment this is intentional) in order for society to agree you were abused, you have to be fucking saintly. NEVER bite back when you're being hurt, never get upset and do something stupid or impulsive, can't "push their buttons" because then, whether they phrase it like this or not, they say you're guilty too

And if you're marginalized, it's even fucking worse. If you're getting abused you better not have BPD or NPD because even if you were a BEACON of divinity, your emotional instability gets used to actually, truly gaslight you. Not just lying, gaslighting. Making you doubt your ability to trust your own mind.

"What I did wasn't so bad, and also you have Irrational Person Disorder so you're just being crazy. I wasn't poking you with a stick like a caged bear you're just sensitive, and you hurt me, so, I'm justified getting back at you actually"

Squirrelflight isn't a sad shaking chihuahua and Bramblestar isn't a bellowing, belt-wielding wifebeater and that's why she means SO MUCH to me. She reacts to provocation. He manipulates her so he can be justified in asserting his authority. Her whole family is in this Clan that's being controlled by her abuser. She can't "Just Leave," that OTHER thing that gets splashed at abuse survivors constantly.

She isn't the stereotypical image of a socially agreed-upon abuse victim. That's what MAKES her so much more raw and personal to me. She can't trust, she has to lie, she snaps and argues and always does what she thinks is best for everyone... even if that means a lot of pain.

So like, BB!Squilf is a Nasty Sassy Little Lady and she will be pried from my cold, dead hands

Could you possibly design Tawnypelt, if you haven’t already ? ♡

Tawnypelt!

Cant believe we are getting her pov again aaa

I think her silhouette is super similar to her dad, which explains why cats still think they look alike even though she doesnt have his colors

Your style is so neat! I really enjoy all the markings and details! :D

Since you're taking requests, I'd be really eager to see your take on Mistpaw :) She's a favorite of mine and also a fun cat for designs with her unique description! :D

Mistpaw!

(I use her warrior name in the tags so be mindful of that)

Since her sister is a colorpoint canonically I figured it would be the best time to make a cat a tortie colorpoint! I think it fits her very well and I love how her design turned out

I am not lining the markings on this tho I do care about my sanity somewhat

Hellooo, can I request One Eye (DOTC)?🥺

One Eye!

When I read DotC for some reason I saw him as a big, intimidating brown guy… but hes actually a scrawny pale ginger dude?? Iconic. Little matted ball of menace that still manages to be intimidating as f. This made me love him so much more

Also he has broken claws? That, plus the missing eye? Extremely cool I love you One Eye sorry for sleeping on you

Sunbeam!

I struggled quite a bit with her design but Im so happy with the result aa

wdym we get a protagonist named SUNBEAM in a series where almost all arcs have a ginger protag and she is BROWN??? No. She is a torbie I genuinely cannot imagine her not being one. Like at all. Im all for new protag fur colors/patterns, but the cat named SUNBEAM?? Im a sucker for sun themed stuff so I was so excited to hear we had a protag with such a gorgeous name and was so dissapointed by her canon description I never got over it sorry

ohhhh hell yeah your poses and designs are really awesome, i totally love the energy! could i please request bone or shadowsight? thank you sm!

Shadowsight!

The world’s punching bag. I really love how the erins are exploring more and more with complex and traumatized characters and writing way more about manipulation. Love this boy and his story arc.

He has the tiger family tm white cheeks, and two freckles like his mama. I also love the red eyes headcannon, and tried to pick a red close to orange so you could say he has realistically orange eyes but they just sometimes look red. Also love the lightning scar and “scarred eye with big pupil” headcannons.

”You are the darkness before the storm.”

Fanart for @barrenclan of Pinepaw! I have been following the comic since the beginning and absolutely adore it, all the characters are so well written imo and the way its formatted is super inspiring

[aleadom]

Maybe Spottedleaf, Sorreltail, or Blossomfall? I’d love to see your take on a tortoiseshell ^_^ i loooove your designs and line work, keep it up!!!

Spottedleaf! (Simplified design below)

Based off a drawing I made of her about a year ago, time flies

And thank you sm for the compliment! I really enjoy this brush for lineart and its fun to do

Requests for Warrior cats to design are welcome!

simplified design (still not very animation friendly but its ok)

[aleadom]

For designs……,,, Crowfeather or Eaglewing??

Crowfeather!

The sad pathetic man, used to hate him when I was a kid but now I can appreciate his story and arc

Requests for Warrior cats to design are welcome!

(Ps: I actually like Eaglewing purely because of my own oc Eaglesong lmao. But for that reason I find it hard to design him without just… doing my oc v.2. Maybe one day tho )
