The Sample Meal (redraw)
I gave that title to the original piece because I have always been fond of the dramatic irony in how Tigerstar chose to take the life of a young cat, who closely resembled his mortal enemy, to threaten him of what's to come.

I wanna see your take on spottedleaf!
Oops haha remember when this account was alive? Well now it's (sort of) back!! And with more takes on canon warriors! ...A couple years late ;;
Heeeere's Spottedleaf! My dearly beloved doctor with an early demise. Rambles about her and a lil worldbuilding under the cut!
When I was first reading Warriors as a kid, the Fire Alone scene really stuck with me, and I had always seen Spotty as a sort of mystical, otherworldly seeming cat. I could always vividly picture her wide-eyed, unseeing stare, gaze glinting under the sparkling pinpricks staring back, blinking their secrets to her. Though, I never really enjoyed the Erins' tendency to boil her down to nothing more than 'pretty'. I particularly enjoy @bonefall's interpretation of her, with her generally unbothered demeanor, her pretty morbid interests and sense of humor, and ESPECIALLY the themes of leaf blight in her design. Those ended up working their way into my own vision of her, and now I don't think I can see her any other way! I did end up combining the two ideas into a hybrid of how I envisioned her as a child and the far more dynamic portrayals of her I've come to love nowadays. Behold our sweet, somewhat strange(/pos), leech-loving gal in all her glory! I like to think in my own version of her, her appearance leads people to be rather unassuming of her, but she's not just a pretty face, and certainly not to be underestimated! She's incredibly skilled at what she does both physically and spiritually, and she could be just as tough as our dear Yellowfang if you're getting in the way of the treatment of her patients! ...Or if you're a particularly unruly patient yourself. They're just leeches! Are you a big strong warrior, or a kit? On another note, this image showcases a little concept I like to work into my healer designs. I always give my healers two herbs tucked behind their ear. It's a traditional thing. They're given their first upon apprenticeship, typically mirroring their mentor's own, a tangible signifier of the knowledge they're passing to their charge, and the hope that they can bestow their best traits onto their student. The second is received upon earning their full name, a reflection of their skills, their strengths, their personality. It's wholly their own, symbolic of who they are as a healer, and as a cat. This is the one that will be passed to their future apprentice. A long chain from healer to healer, sharing the best parts of themselves to live on in the next generation. The herbs Spottedleaf wears are Elderflower and Dandelion. Elderflower, which was worn by Featherwhisker before her, represents compassion, humility, and zeal. Dandelion is representative of faithfulness, happiness, love's oracle, and overcoming hardships. Spottedleaf is a cat of much more depth than the books gave her credit for. I could go on about my thoughts on her for hours, honestly. She is, and always has been one of my favorite characters, and I've only grown to love her more and more over the years.

These plants are using HUMAN effects! Do not feed your cat these plants for funsies, because they can be deadly! Also, heads up, this post contains plants primarily from the UK and North America, since the books take place in England and borrow animals from North America. There are also a few plants from... neither place!

Squirrelflight girl get out of there…
AU Idea where Squirrelflight decides to leave TC and join Skyclan during ASC Era!! Leafstar welcomes her and Squirrelflight learns how to be happy around her new clanmates . Bramblestar steps down as leader. She sees her kin at Gatherings. The TC warriors have too much respect for Squirrelflight to really hate her for her decision, so it’s always warm welcomes. Squirrelflight will soon be retiring to the elders den, so Leafstar isn’t worried about the affections Squilf still has for TC warriors. Jayfeather understood her decision the most, still being well tuned in to her emotions and seeing how obviously unhappy she was, with the state Bramblestar was in and how he treated her after everything.

What’s In A Name?
I have been having a lot of funky cat thoughts lately and I have a lot of issues with the lack of culture in the books. Little rambles like this might become a lot more common. Tonight's topic of interest surrounded Clan names and their bearing on relationship and respect amongst Clanmates.
I like to think names, being very important parts of Clanlife, are also very important in showing respect and affirming relationships.
Apprentices often have their names shortened just to the prefix, "Holly" or "Briar" or "Swallow" as a means of familiarity or camraderie. This is especially noted between mentors and their charges or apprentices who den and train together. Groups of apprentices are referred to as a whole simply as 'paws.
Warriors, on the other hand, are entitled to the use of their full name, as their suffix is earned and personal only to them. Only those with very close bonds, such as parents, denmates, mates, or close friends reserve the right to call them only by their prefix or suffix alone. To do so without a close bond is to disrespect the warrior you're speaking to, and the right to shorten the name may be revoked at any time.
You never shorten an Elder's name, nor a Medicine Cat, as they are highly respected members of the Clan and should be treated as such. The rule also extends to Queens, though this is unspoken.
A Leader's name is often seen to be revered and rarely spoken aloud in conversation, though some leaders forgo this rule, finding it pompous or otherwise alienating from their Clanmates.
It should be stated there are exceptions to every rule like any;
Squirrelflight and Leafpool for instance,
Never refer to each other by full name outside of gatherings, and if they do it's practically more disrespectful in their eyes.
Firestar never understood the reverence of Medicine Cats, and therefore always referred to his informally despite warnings not to.
But honestly, how was he going to stop calling his daughter 'Little Leaf' or his former apprentice 'Cinders' just like that? Eventually, his tendency is seen as more endearing to his Clan than disrespectful, even if a few more choice members might have a thing or two to say about it.
Bramblestar, on the other hand, is very keen on respect. Perhaps to a fault.
His refusal to shorten Squirrelflight's name at all, even during their closest moments, was more hurtful than she assumed it should have been.
Especially when Bramblefake began to shorten it instead.
