Saint Therese of Lisieux

Doctor of the Church

1873-1897

Feast Day: October 1 (New), October 3 (Trad)

Patronage: Missions

St. Therese of Lisieux was a French Discalced Carmelite nun, popularly known as The Little Flower. She was a highly influential model of sanctity for others because of the "simplicity and practicality of her approach to the spiritual life." She entered Carmel at the early age of 15 and died of tuberculosis at the age of 24. Together with St. Francis of Assisi she is one of the most popular saints in the history of the Church. Pope Pius X called her "the greatest saint of modern times."

Night At The Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian OC Ref. Sheet

This is Tigerfrost (Also known as Frosty), this Blog's main OC! I originally made her for Demise 4 back in 2021 off of a backpack I'd bought a couple of years earlier from a cool collector's shop. She was put in OC retirement while I focused on a Minecraft SMP I was on until she was pulled back out for this blog around July-ish 2022. My original ref is here, which I'm currently still using, but I do plan to change it soon because my style is outdated on it and a lot has changed in c!Tigerfrost's story.

I've been really inspired by @/all-yn-oween's and @/lidensword's NATM2 OC's, so this is my NATM version of Frosty! They are an exhibit on Children's and Young Teen's media in the Smithsonian. The Cats are promotional cardboard cut-outs for the books that came to life through the power of the Tablet.

(favorite bits, and more about Applebreeze, Fawnpelt, Craneclaw, and Poppypool, and general about their world under the cut!)

For a while, I've wanted to write about an Anthro Warrior's AU, but I've had a lot of trouble writing and drawing about it. I've recently been really inspired by @nissabug-art's Anthro Warriors AU.

About the Warriors AU...

First, this takes place wayyy after the events of the books. I haven't read past the fourth series (Omen of the Stars) and the first few of the fifth series (A Vision of Shadows), so most of what happens after those books aren't really counted in the AU as canon. All of the book series are regarded as legends of the past, though, especially Firestar. Other things:

Almost all cats have powers like the PO3 protagonists; I added this because I thought it was fun

Instead of Code #13 (The word of the Clan leader is the warrior code) of the Warrior's Code, cats vote for decisions like they did in I believe The Dawn of the Clans and a non-canon story, The Clans Decide. Leaders act as representatives of the clan and make small decisions that don't need to be voted on.

Thunderclan is led by Littlestar (Previously Littleflower, Tigerfrost's adopted sibling, They/Them). Tigerfrost is the Deputy and their Medicine Cat (which are called Healers in the AU) is Tigerfrost's one of other siblings, Stoneheart(It/They/He). The three are extremely close and tell almost everything together. Tigerfrost's power is Yestersight, also known as Retrocognition, inspired by the 💫TIME MACHINE💫 MAP made in 2020.

(Here's a small unfinished animatic of Tigerfrost and Littlestar. I made it during lunch one evening and I don't have the motivation to finish it)

Windclan is led by Sorrelstar (Previously Sorrelgaze, He/Him), their Deputy is Raindance (They/He) and their Healers are Foxsong (They/She) and Dusthop (He/She). Applebreeze (She/They, belongs to my school friend John) and Fawnpelt (They/Them, belongs to @swagbugger) belong to this clan and they are both Warriors. Fawnpelt can shapeshift into animals with wings or horns and Applebreeze has Botanokinesis.

Riverclan is led by Coonstar (Previously Coontail, He/It), the main antagonist of the story. He wants to fuse all the clans into one and become leader of them all; basically Tigerstar 2.0. I made him with some friends at summer camp years ago, and I have no creative ideas, so he will stay as Tigerstar 2.0 for now. The Deputy is Blind Lightning (He/Him). Poppypool (They/She) is the Healer Riverclan and has Empathy.

Shadowclan is led by Foxstar (Previously Foxshadow, They/Them), their Deputy is Craneclaw (They/He), and their Healer is Rebar (He/Him). Craneclaw is romantically involved with Rebar, even though it's against the Warrior code. Craneclaw has no superpowers.

Skyclan is led by Spottedstar (Previously Spottedsky, He/They), their Deputy is Mellow Petal (She/Her), and their Healer is Streampuddle (Any/All).

Favorite bits…

I love the pull down forest background. It’s inspired by the kids corner in Barnes & Noble's. I imagine that people could pull down different scenes from the book as background when reading. It’s also inspired by four trees.

I also really like the mini book covers. They are covered up mostly, but I love how small they are. They show all five main characters plus the main bad guy.

Be still my silly heart

Why do you beat so furiously at the sound of a name?

Because…

Zahra coming from his lips is not the same as hearing it come from any other

I weep, I have succumbed to my emotions

You can not escape your destiny, though you may run from it, it is always waiting for you right where you left it, with open arms

Patiently, waiting with a smile, only to say one word: ZAHRA!!!

Be still my heart, I can not lie, today,

I am a child.

The Greenwood Empire - Roles and Positions

Part 1 - Generals | Part 2 - Specials

Now in addition to the divergent roles that came from the general roles of the Empire, each of the individual factions have developed some roles that exist exclusively within their own ranks to bend to their own structures, territory requirements and social customs. You may have noticed some interesting places of overlap or void within the roles of the factions - this is from their histories.

Fenn Caesars - Due to a series of tragedies and unfortunate events regarding leadership, Fennyield healers found themselves repeatedly responsible for leading the faction and through equally tragic and suspected malicious circumstances, found themselves appointing their cubs to succeed them. Eventually, one mender called Littleflowers didn’t even bother to appoint a new leader and instead, went into The Spear in an attempt to seek their additional lives and when they received them, appointed their son to take succeed them. Since then, healing in the Fenns is exclusively the domain of the caesar.

Fenn Attendants - To be responsible for both the healing of injured or sick factionmates and also the overall leadership of a faction is a heavy job, attempting to do both of those jobs on top of raising cubs is… a lot. And so attendants are those responsible for the assistance in raising, training and caring for a caesar’s cubs. This is especially after an heir is chosen out of them and the caesar will focus most of their attention on them. Attendant is a strange role, both incredibly high in rank given how close they are to the caesar’s family and hardly more than a glorified servant.

Fenn Executioners - Swift and decisive action is one of the things that the Fenns can agree with the Gales on and when it comes to punishment, they’re particularly harsh. The Fennyield work to ensure their troubles are even perceived by the other factions, extending into those who commit the most serious of crimes. To show the aazoli their commitment to correcting that mistake alongside as a silent show of respect to the other factions, the worst criminals are put to death before the entire faction by an Executioner who is not allowed to perform any other form of killing and are made to wear a ‘glove’ over their forepaws outside of executions. These moggi also take on the duties associated with a diplomat in another faction.

The Gales admittedly look very strange next to any of the other factions, missing several ranks alongside a few strange divisions. Their territory is unusual compared to the other faction’s, the only one with only sporadic tree-cover and wide, open fields surrounded by other non-Empire lands with an actual trade-route running through their land and they were forced to chance to meet this challenge.

Gale Caesars - Caesars in the Gales are broken into two - the Sun and Moon - reflecting the divide between their valorants themselves. The Heathstalkers and Deepstalkers once went to war with each other, only a few spans after their faction was founded regarding a sense of inequality breeding when a moggi from either side would become a caesar. Eventually, peace was established through a truce and one moggi on either side stepped up and went to The Spear - much to their surprised delight, they were both granted lives. Now the Sun Caesar oversees the Heathstalkers and all associated tasks while the Moon Caesar oversees the Deepstalkers and all their associated tasks.

Gale Escorts - With a wide expanse of treeless territory that must be regularly crossed by Empire-moggi and outsiders alike, the Gales needed a way to secure their own territory from intrusion. This resulted in escorts who have a series of posts throughout their land, constantly patrolling the borders for anyone trespassing and walking them to wherever they need to be. Escorts also serve as scouts and messengers with many of them choosing to become diplomats later. 

Neither the Shorerisen nor the Stormborn have changed or added many ranks in comparison to either the Fenns or the Gales, each only adopting two new somewhat minor ranks of their own.

Shores Starkeepers - The Starkeepers were formed after an unfortunate event with between a starspeaker cadet and the starseer of the Gales named Currantclaws. The starkeeper reacted violently, killing the young cadet who’d received no training. In the wake of this horror, all Starspeakers are now assigned a Starkeeper, a moggi who is meant to guard and protect the speaker with their lives and even after a speaker retires, the keeper stays by their side. It’s a very distinguished and honorable role that marks a moggi as more or less outside of their faction’s ranks.

Storm Legates - Line of succession is a deeply important to the factions and especially the Stormborn. A sporadic series of events throughout their history brought to their attention the need to make their faction capable of functioning even if both their lieutenant and caesar are incapacitated. ‘Legates’ are essentially the lieutenants of the other roles in the stormborn - when a General retires, their legate will step in to take over. It’s so ingrained in their culture, that becoming a legate is one of the unofficial qualifications to become the faction’s lieutenant, showing tangible proof that one can organize and manage their faction-mates, plan for the future and step in when things are shaky. This redundancy ensures that it’s actually very hard to disrupt the operations of the Storm as there is always someone else to step in.

Blue Little flowers - Tingha Tingha is a small town on the New South Wales Northern Tablelands, 26 km south of Inverell, 629 km north-north-east of Sydney and 460 km south-west of Brisbane. Before European settlement the area was occupied by the Anaiwan, a sub-group of the Murri Aboriginal people. Many of their descendants still live in the area. Early European occupation of the district is related to the settlement of Inverell. In 1870, tin was discovered at Tingha, after an initial find north at Elsmore. At the peak of the tin boom Tingha was the largest tin-producing district in NSW with mines stretching for 8 km and employing, it is said, 8000 men, of which perhaps 2000 were Chinese. https://www.sbs.com.au/…/australian-country-town-honours-it… #marcelrodrigue #jkamidnorthcoast #tingha #newengland #newsouthwales #australia #sunnyday #ruralaustralia #aussiephotos #visitnsw #tourismnsw #weather #ruralaustralia #littleflowers (at Tingha, New South Wales) https://www.instagram.com/p/CrcoMEFPCUf/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
