[residences-of-the-darkforest]

I've asked before if you guys think I should or shouldn't add certain categories to Refsheet, but now I've realized I have yet to ask the most important question:

What categories do YOU want to see on Refsheet?

(The ones already there written below to give ideas)

--Submissions / me

--Arrival (separated by 'directly to hell,' 'Starclan first,' etc)

--Appears in stories

--Victims / backstory characters

--Rank in life

--colour

--Crime committed (murderers, abusers, etc)

--Families (Eye-Out, Tunnel, etc)

You can request something being expanded on, such as an added crime category or family. Or you can suggest something entirely new!

how many residences are there so far?

Let me see...

uh...

484 total residences

take away 5 (joke submissions, 1 canon character I expanded on, an unresponded gift for an artist I don't follow any more) it would be

479

Assuming of course I've remembered to write everyone down which I hopefully have!

Oh and for anyone curious,

340 are submissions

(-4) or 336

141/2 are mine

The submissions are truly the backbone of this blog

”what are your interests?”

Spikerose!

She died of hypothermia, hence the snow (Whitestar died of the same thing, but his fur is white so it’s harder to see)

she probably appreciated the warmth of Sparktail’s fire within the Death Ring

Think about the Death Ring has made me realize

Sparktail would be a Menace there. She's set the entire ring on fire as well as her opponent. Cats are scrambling to escape. She has to be pulled out of there before she dies a second time

Some cats are furious while others (probably most) once they’re clear think it’s awesome and wow that was fun and look it’s so cool and look how big that fire is!!

Actually…it would be the opposite of her life. She spreads a fire and everyone loves it. They all admire the flames (safely contained within the ring) and it turns into a fun celebratory-like time

(at least for everyone but the cats trapped in the prison tunnels)

[residences-of-the-darkforest]

If we're talking about the death ring then I know for a fact that Spotgrowl, Wardenshade, and the duo of Witheredflame & Echoflare would partake in punishment.

In fact I think they all specifically go after abusive parents/mentors due to. Backstory reasons

Withered and Echo also ONLY go with each other. partly bc of the codependency and partly bc there's only so much Withered can do alone (a) missing part of his face and a paw b) small. like really fucking tiny) so Echo is there to keep anybody in their place :)

sorry I really really love Withered and Echo. beloveds. dear void they need therapy.

Collective trivia for Quolltooth and his trio of urchins!

- they are from Australia, where feral cats are a menace to native fauna!

- they were trapped and euthanized in an attempt by humans to get the feral cats population under control

- Cranepaw and Parrotpaw are actually not twins! They are basically the same color wise though, so pretty much everyone mistakes one for the other.

- Penguinpaw cries a lot for seemingly random reasons (lil bro is going through it)

Penguinpaw is me

Sedgefin and her urchin trio! From Quolltooth’s story

I can't imagine how TERRIFIED they must have been

This may be a stretch idk, but there's something about the bullies in tv or books being the clear bad guys that you want to see defeated ...until the "good guys" actually get revenge on them and it's so scary and awful that it gives you an immediate switch on who you're rooting for. They give me that vibe.

I also imagine Sedgefin tried to desperately keep them safe, but it was too chaotic.

Story:

“What, you want me to kill a roo? Are you having a laugh?”

Sedgefin’s already high hackles drew up, rolling yellow eyes glaring at him. Behind her were the three glorified nest-wetters she’d claimed as apprentices.

“Jus’ a small one. A joey.” He paused, pretending to groom- an action his own trio clumsily mimicked. “Unless that’s beneath you.”

Baited, the thin tabby slunk up out of the burrows, ears pinned, her trio trailing behind her like shadows.

Quolltooth turned to his apprentices, forcing his posture into neutrality.

“Now. What’s the first rule of hunting. Parrotpaw?”

Outside, a shriek as a giant claw tore through Pigpaw.

Parrotpaw didn’t blink.

“Don’t get cocky.”

“Good. Cranepaw. What’s the first rule of being a good warrior?”

Like her sister, Cranepaw didn’t blink.

“Be strong.”

Outside, shouting, squalling as two more roos’ joined the fight.

“Good. And Penguinpaw?”

The youngest of the litter looked up, dwarfed by his mentor.

“Yeah?”

Quolltooth twitched one whisker.

“What’s rule number one of killing?”

Penguinpaw gulped as the noises died down.

“Don’t get caught.”

“Good.”

Additional Information:

--Submission by @ambitiousauthor

--Quolltooth is an absolute unit. Think 20+ pounds of muscle

--Penguinpaw is named after the Little Blue Penguin!

--It is entirely possible that Parrotpaw accused their victims of something that she blew out of proportion. A simple ‘hey mousebrain’ is enough to get on her shit list.

--Like with Parrotpaw, it’s possible that Cranepaw blew the actions of the victims way out of proportion (or she saw Parrot getting attention and decided to be jealous about it)

Cautionary Tale: ??

Story: 

She awoke to a wailing from the nursery.

She already knew what it was. The tapir had told her, whispered the secrets of what was to come in her ear.

With a vacant look, she met her littermate's eyes. One whimper from Squidfur confirmed what she already knew. Charredkit had been taken in the night, by the woods.

"StarClan, poor Eagledew, she already....I can't handle it, what if it happened to me and-" Pearcurrent hushed Squidfur. "Not here."

The memories of her own trial were pushed into a dark corner of her mind, but Doepaw and Crowpaw's nights were clear as a stream.

Doepaw had wailed, begging not to go. The screeches were still ringing in her ears. They had woken the whole camp up.

Crowpaw refused to go near any of her Clanmates until her trial. Wordless, she walked into the woods, and was never seen again.

The woods had helped them. Driven away bears, Twolegs, a whole pack of dogs. But this wasn't worth it.

---

"This isn't worth it." Pearpaw said. Rabbitmoon looked to her, curious. "What do you mean-"

She shoved him forward, just in time for a passing monster. "You. Your life. It's not worth letting you live."

---

Pearcurrent touched noses with Warblerpaw, a slight tremble in her movements. The tremble was matched by the younger cat, now her apprentice. One of Squidfur's kits. StarClan, she can't mess this up.

"Warblerpaw will be the first to embark!"

She hated Runnelstar. She hated him so much. She could only hope she'd meet him in the Dark Forest.

---

Night fell. They didn't come back.

Only one of Squidfur's kits remained.

---

Yellowcough took her life soon after.

--Heartcreek was the first medicine cat, or "protector of secrets," of LotusClan.

I don't think you want to. Do you know what Tusk is?

Oh yeah I’ve seen it. It came on the tv once when I was a kid

[residences-of-the-darkforest]

Having thoughts about the Firemask AU and my AMV idea for Breezepelt with the song Anytime You Smile. TLDR: Tigerstar bonds with Breezepelt over father issues, but because he's an easy test subject decides to try out powers he's discovered, and lotus eater machine ensues.

In other words: Warriors if it was better

[residences-of-the-darkforest]

List of things I want to make a resident based off of but am far too scared to do so

Tusk (2014)

End of List

Very curious about reading the submission now...

[residences-of-the-darkforest]

I think Glowingshadow (ofc), Lunarpaw, and maybe Kindlehill and Butterflywing would participate in the Death Ring

While Kindlehill is the sweetest darling, sometimes she just wants to fight. Just like her mom/mentor Redbloom!

..Butterflywing is a medicine cat with no knowledge of battle but she'd still wanna just kill someone tbh.

and that's fair
