i can't be the only one who's just straight-up ... bored with women hating themselves. my mom keeps lamenting to me how upset she is about her gray hair. my friend stares at her laugh lines every day in agony. my sister loses sleep over the horrible unbearable thought of looking fat. and every time these women i love open up to me, i can't help but think ... then stop staring at yourself? stop drowning yourself, narcissus, and just fucking live your life instead of sitting in front of a mirror obeying cosmetic corporations' lies. just stop it. this is getting ridiculous. you're too smart to be falling for this bullshit. "oh no but these men who hate women told me that if i'm ugly i'm worthless!" girl if you actually believe that then good luck. but i am getting worse at being supportive of people whose nonsense worldviews keep them trapped in pain. stop looking at yourself start fucking living i am pleading you deserve to be happy and it is stupid that you disagree

I’m kind of scared to call out Crowfeather again just in case he turns my fandom lesbian straight. He’s got too much power. We fucking lost man

the implications of crowfeather repeatedly rewriting the series he's in to own lesbians is funny but im still on the lesbian w comphet leafpool train at least. lesbianism can prevail anywhere regardless. and on that personally i believe that lesbian or not, every girl that falls for crowfeather doesn't really like crowfeather himself but rather an idealised version of him in their head that can present them with something else they want (an escape from the clans, a dedicated partner who loves them, someone they can relate to and confide in). he just got lucky enough to do that to four different women. he isnt a lady magnet for who he is but his shallow dark and brooding aura is just really easy to project shit onto and not think about when in actuality all it hides is a fairly boring and genuinely unpleasant guy

Leafstar if Crowfeather so much as glances at a SkyClan she-cat

possible sparkneedle family

needletail takes over the roles of larksong + juniperclaw. yeah they don't exist anymore, rip. also she lives longer and only dies at the end of avos, bc she died too soon, and her death in shattered sky made more sense at the end than in the middle of avos

the sparkneedle romance was brief and sour-sweet and ended w/ needle sacrificing herself to save violetshine from darktail.

there's a prophecy surrounding sparkstrike and skyclan but for most of the series she's very reluctant to fulfill the role; it's needletail who becomes more supportive of keeping skyclan in the lake territories, likely to atone for her previously supporting darktail's kin and manipulating violetpaw. she slowly convinces spark to agree w/ her, but it's after her death when spark decides to lead skyclan back to the lake to honor needle's last wish

i like to think that needle's mom named her after seeing an exotic vagrant bird of the same name. maybe it's an omen for something important

flickerkit still dies, jury's still out on nightheart but he's... less important to my au either way. their parents had planned to give flickerkit the suffix -bright had he lived

finchlight changes her name to finchspark (support her moms? to claim a fire-related name for legacy reasons? it's a little unclear)

sometime after finch gets her suffix, perhaps sparkstrike gets a rebound w/ stormcloud?

bonus genetics nerdery

needletail is a shorthaired black smoke solid w/ low white spotting (LL Xo BB Ii Wbwb aa bmbm Mcmc Spsp Wsws), carrying non-silver, non-wide band, classic tabby, and spotted. she has prominent ghost tabby marks that reveal a mackerel tabby pattern and have a strong bluish tint

sparkpelt is a shorthaired midnight charcoal red marbled tabby w/ low white spotting (Ll XOXO Bb ii wbwb Apba Bmbm mcmc Spsp Wsws), carrying longhair, solid, chocolate, non-Bengal mod, and spotted. normally charcoal isn't expressed in red cats, but a brightening mutation in her lineage makes the pattern more visible, though i'm not adding it bc i made it up

finchspark is a shorthaired midnight charcoal black tortie silver marbled tabby w/ low white spotting (LL XOXo BB Ii Wbwb Apba Bmbm mcmc Spsp Wsws), carrying non-silver, non-wide band, non-Bengal mod, and spotted. the silver gene makes her ginger patches more high contrast, and the black parts also have a bluish tint

nightheart is a shorthaired midnight charcoal red golden marbled tabby w/ low white spotting (Ll XO Bb ii Wbwb Apba Bmbm mcmc spsp Wsws), carrying longhair, non-wide band, solid, non-Bengal mod, and chocolate. he actually has a somatic mutation that deactivates phaeomelanin (red pigment) over most of his pelt

flickerkit is a shorthaired midnight charcoal red golden spotted tabby w/ low white spotting (Ll XO Bb ii Wbwb Apba bmbm Mcmc SpSp Wsws), carrying longhair, chocolate, non-wide band, classic tabby, and solid. he's the runt of the litter and probably would've stayed small if he lived

the twiggiest branch and the violetest shine.......

a vision of shadows is special 2 me i read it in middle school i loved twig so much when i thought she was gonna die at that one part i skipped ahead the entire book just to see if she lived I SPOILED MYSELF FOR THIS CAT!!!!!!!!!!!! i was one of those people hoping their name would be twigshade but twigbranch is SO MUCH BETTER ITS PERFECT when twigstar is real (it better happen. IT BETTER) the only thing i will be sad about is branch being gone.............oh yeah and violetshine is cool

Brighthearts interactions with Jayfeather in OotS are so sweet. I feel like she takes on an almost parental role for him bc of leaf and squirrels absence. I had a specific scene in mind when drawing this but I forgot what it was.. Its in fading echoes. Maybe shes comforting him after the stress of Briarpaws injury? Idk, anyways, theyre cute.
