HONEYSPRING WHY I THOUGHT YOU LIKED HIM??????

I don't know if this is spoilers™ to say, so I will leave the answer under the cut!

It was entirely accidental on Honeyspring's part. They were worried he would fall (which he did anyway, whoops) and tried to pull him up. She only let go once he bit her on the paw.

I can't remember if it was said anywhere but are we ever gonna get the exact reason why Bess isn't willing to join Cedar in the clan (if there's more to it than what she said when they first met about oakclan)? Or if it's not a spoiler territory, what is the reason? 👀

It's mostly just what happened with Oakclan + the fact that she's lived on her own for long enough that she's been able to completely demonize the clans in her own mind. She imagines joining the clan would immediately mean being judged for everything she does, being told what to do at every moment, and losing everything she enjoys about her life.

She hasn't even tried to imagine a scenario where living with them would be good, because she just doesn't want to do it

I brew the egg.

I have no cube.

I brew the cube.

I have no reduction.

I brew the reduction.

I have no beakers.

I brew the beakers.

I'm out of orange goo.

And like Sisyphus rolling the rock up the hill in perpetuity, I ask myself: does Baldwin imagine me happy? does he, in his sick transgressions, picture me smiling as I endure the cycle he hath wrought? That in the menial cycle of up, up, up again, only to be met with a sudden and violent descent, I am earning my keep?

Does he understand my pain or is he as cruel a God as the children of the sludge must imagine him.

No life until cube. no cube until reduction, no reduction until beaker, no beaker until the very material we use to survive, food, has been reduced as I have.

to little more than amorphous slop.

Context for Canary (unmated cats can have kits with clanmates or outsider was temporarily on, I turn on and off options based on what's happening in game). and Owl now uses She/Her.

Writing dialogue sucks. It took way to much time so I decided it got messy line art. (Additional context Dove and Canary aren't related, they are 'family' by Burrow-Clan code. Owl and Raven are mother and child, I forgot to mention that)

Since Ichigo dies at about 15, and Hatake get their marks at like 14? what do her clan markings look like? 👀

OHHH OK THIS IS ACTUALLY A WHOLE THING, SO,

Ichigo got moon stripes !! It's also known as the story teller stripes, and is the traditional tattoos of the Hatake clan's religious leader and story keeper. Which Ichigo does end up in training to become!

There's actually a bit of drama with the fact that Yuki, the current clan shaman, is so old (she's in her 70's, which is basically like being in her 120's for a shinobi), and she's only now picking an apprentice in Ichigo.

Yuki did actually have an apprentice before, who was fully trained and set up to take up the position whenever Yuki died— but they were one of the 5 Hatake to die to illness the winter before the Hatake were summoned to iron court (which is the event that got the ball rolling on the Hatake joining Konoha a year or two later)

Yuki settled on Ichigo being her next apprentice relatively quickly after that, but wouldn't actually tell anyone about it for some more years— stubbornly staying quiet on the topic even when pressed with increasingly stressed and worried questions about it. Ichigo was only about 8 at the time, but Yuki set to training her just a little bit under the table

It was easy enough, when Ichigo was always happy to listen to her stories and gossip about past and present events. Ichigo kind of ended up soaking in a lot of things she'd be expected to learn in the role (religious rights / mythos of spirits and gods / traditions and why they do them / stories passed down through the family / etc.) naturally throughout the years.

Finally, Ichigo turned 14 and lead her first hunt— the marker of a Hatake coming of age. Afterwards, it was Yuki's job to give her the stripes Yuki deemed to 'fit her best,' which is ofc when she gave her the moon stripes and officially announced her plans with a "teehee congrats <3"

It wasn't actually too much of a surprise to those who'd been paying attention to what had been going on, but still caught some off guard. Ichigo had been "training" for like, 6 whole years at that point, without even realizing it. So she was honestly pretty well into her education on the roll, and would probably only need a few more years afterwards to be deemed officially ready to take it on

But then ofc, she dies a year later. And Yuki dies in very quick succession. (Losing her third apprentice, and so old already, had done terrible things to her heart and spirit) And with both of them went a very large portion of the clans history.

Others in the clan, of course, still knew plenty. Yuki's teachings had not been for Ichigo alone, and many had sat by her side and listened to her stories as well. But no single person knew as much as they had or had been in the same position of authority to do things like honoring the spirits of their ancestors or assigning Hatake stripes to their young.

In their deaths, Haruka had to take up many of their duties, mostly by default via being the highest other figure of respect in that regard. But they lost a lot.

There's some sort of interesting point to be made that the Hatake's religious leader wears tattoos that symbolize a red moon. And that Kaguya-hime is among the gods they pay respects to.

I don't really have any real thoughts on it other than going "hmm." and writing that down to reference later, but like !! That's something

anyways Yuki herself is also pretty cute, I find myself enjoying her immensely, so take this art I drew for her the other day that I've been looking for an excuse to post:

Idea: Upon being granted their full names by StarClan, med cats also get some kind of heterochromia :)

CHEDDAR! 🧀🧀🧀 A ghost kittypet who only appeared in one singular chapter

I think she MUST have come from the same house as Pancakes, Bacon, and Eggs. Those people have fully committed to the bit with their cats’ names

[ask-sonder]

could you have changed her fate?

[eelclaw]

stupid fucking bastard. i am not coping with the leaks

[m1smatched-starsigns]

Silverstream feeling devastated as she watches her kits grow up isolated in RiverClan because she understands their loneliness; and Stormfur and Feathertail resenting her all their lives because they blame her for that loneliness is such a specific type of angst that I will always devour.
