The clans writing and art

Read bellow about it!

How their writing and art works and how it's made?

The paper that commonly is write and drawn on, is made of papyrus(i know it's on Egypt, but since it's fictional, i think it doesn't matter so much), and the things they use write and draw with vary by clan and acessbility.

For historical events and important cats, cats write on clay, since clay can last for very long time without going bad, they write on it using strong sticks, elongated stones that were sharpened or crafted tools for it.

All the clans can use animal's blood from rests of fleshkill, trough that can be considered a waste if the freshkill can still be eaten, so cats eat all they can while writing.

All the clans use flowers to write and paint(mainly paint and draw), Thunderclan and Windclan have a large variety of flower types, whille Shadowclan and Riverclan unfortunally only have acess to the lotus flower and water lily in their territory, and as variety thoses flowers can be, it's very small compared to the Wind and Thunder diversity. The paint are made as the flowers are smash in a bowl, into a paste and puts alchool or hot water(depending in which clan that the material will change), and mash it with a mash tool(i couldn't find the name sorry), and the paint is made.

The next is kinda complicated as it uses fire, the clan has to start a small fire, pick a tiny stick, burn the tip, put out the fire, and use the coal as an writing pencil, it's more recommended to do it in Riverclan than any other clan(Principally Thunderclan in drought season), as it can cause massive fire, to make a small fire safelly, you would need to circle it with alot of stones and it's recommend it to put it in the middle of the clearing, away from any plants or flammable tools and objects.

For paints, it's very recommended to use a brush instead of your fingers, so you wouldn't accidentally paint your own fur, and it's hell to take the paint of the fur, so the brush is made with a stick or a stone that is more elongated than common, use a cotton(that can planted by the Riverclan, Windclan with their massive open moor can more easily plant it, but Shadowclan and Thunderclan can't plant it, since their territory have more shade, so the cotton can't grow, so they have to trade with Windclan and Riverclan) or squirrel's tail to use as the part were the paint goes, after painting or writing, it would need cleaning before using it again.

Where it originate from?

The modern clans writing system originally came from the Park cats, as they would learn it from the humans(the term two-legs wouldn't exist at that time) with them coming at their park, which Riverstar teached his own clan about, changing and creating new symbols for better understanding of his clan, but he was kind enough to share his knowledge with the rest of the clans.

The first painting came from Windclan, with a cat named Dust Muzzle, creating a painting of his family, Windstar, Gorse fur and Moth flight, the painting was said to be beautiful, even when it was also said to be very distorced and disproportionated when compared to the real cats, but the painting was lost by time, but with that Windclan created a tradition, to every new crafter, they have to try to draw the first painting with their own interpretation on how Dust Muzzle's would look like.

This a painting that an unknown apprentice made, this is their own interpretation on how Dust muzzle and his family would look like.

The Writing system itself

The writing system is very simple actually, since i don't want to waste hours and hours of my life creating a new complex writing system, so it will use own alphabet but with symbols instead of letters, but it doesn't mean it doesn't have its how rules to follow:

Note: This is a concept art.

Each symbol has a explanation on why i choose it specifically, i picked up names that start with that letter, so for example: Petal for the letter P, and the symbols can only have one colour however, so it's easier to identify it.

Symbols:

A = Acorn;

B = Bee;

C = Cloud or Cherry;

D = Daisy;

E = Egg;

F = Feather(new), Fern(outdated);

G = Grass;

H = Heather plant;

I = Simple Ice pattern(new), complex ice pattern(outdated);

J = Jagged line(new), Juniper berries(outdated);

K = Kestrel bird;

L = Leaf or Lion;

M = Maggot;

N = Moon, since it appear at night;

O = Olive;

P = Petal or Pine;

Q = Quail bird head;

R = Rat or Rain;

S = Snake or Spots or Sun;

T = Tadpole or Thistle;

U = Motion to something that is under something;

V = Vine;

W = Web or Wolf;

X = Of viXen(i couldn't find anything, sorry);

Y = Yarrow;

Z = Three Zigzag patterns;

After know which symbol is which letter, you should know how to write it, for example, we will use Fireheart's name as an example:

The right way to spell words here, is writing them down, and using an arrow bellow the last symbol, to move to the next vertical line, and "-" that separate the words, so it doesn't get too confusing.

And when you write a cat's name, you have to ask them, which symbol they use if that symbol have more one option(example S, with 3 options), since using 2 or 3 different symbols in the same word is wrong and cause confusion, principally if the symbol is outdated, so for example, Fireheart use Rain instead of Rat for his R.

The wrong way to spell the words is writing horizontally, using both the arrow and "-" incorrectly, multiple different symbols in the same word and the wrong symbol for the cat, and using outdated symbols.

Outdated symbols were the original ones, but fell out of use for one reason or another, example: "F" used to be a fern, but feel out of use, since it was too similar to "H" symbol, heather, so now the feather is used instead of the fern.

Finalization + author notes

This took way too long, but i'm happy with the result, i accept construtive criticism about it!

I wanted to use this kinda of ""Writing system"" for some time(even when it's not, but i like to swap the words with other drawings, it's cool), this thing will be more present in how the clans preserve their history, of course, things are still lost by time, but somethings like the clans leaders of each era, important events and cats, prophecy and etc.

And a litttle challenge, more like a dare, can you guess what Smallear wrote in the paper?

Anyway, again, english is not my first language, so if you find any mistakes, tell me and i will fix it.

Things I believed as a kid before I even finished the first series:

- Jayfeather wasn’t born blind, he had an accident as a kit that made him blind (I thought he fell off a cliff)

- Sol was a dead entity that posessed Hollyleaf (dunno where this came from?)

- Mapleshade was actually significant and killed Sandstorm, I also thought she was the leader of the dark forest and she created it.

- Firestar was made completely immortal and starclan purposefully dropped a tree on him to kill him

- Instead of Longtail dying when the tree fell, he was just blinded, I then thought the fact he was blinded by a rabbit was a fake rumour

- Squilf was the threes biological mother but she disowned them in the fire scene

- Ashfur killed Firestar once and for all

- Ivypool and Hollyleaf were a couple

- Leafpool and Mothwing were a couple

- The leaders got actual physical star symbols on their head (I was very dissapointed when I read Firestar’s leader ceremony)

- Tawnypelt was evil

- I genuinely thought Fuzzypelt and Patchpelt were the same person for like 5 years and Fuzzypelt was just his warrior name changed when he became an elder

- Violetshine, Twigbranch, Sleekwhisker and Darktail were fan characters

- I also thought Windrunner and Gorsefur were fan characters

- Alderheart had a shadow monster following him that gave him anxiety

- I thought the Erins straightup forgot that Tallstar was the leader of Windclan and just randomly replaced him with Onewhisker

- Needletail was a Thunderclan cat

- I thought Graypool was Yellowfang’s mother???

- Blossomfall and Thornclaw getting together was a joke (I actually believed this until I started reading ASC a couple months ago)

[blimbo-buddy]

I think Bumble, Turtle tail, Storm, Star flower, Slate, Bright stream, Rainswept flower and Violet should all become a polycule and kill clear sky and gray wing

Fuck yeah let them kill Tom too and WindRunner and GorseFur

The worst thing about the inconsistency in Warriors is that it's not even predictably inconsistent. It is the most mind boggling, unpredictable rollercoaster of a series where they'll manage to keep the most random, unimportant things consistent and then turn around and forget basic shit like who the main characters are related to.

For instance, in Battles of the Clans published in 2010, there's a story about Graywing the Wise, an early leader of WindClan from before the Clan leaders took "star" as a suffix. Three years later (which might as well be another century in terms of the continuity you can expect to see in warrior cats) Dawn of the Clans starts to come out and they somehow manage to remain COMPLETELY CONSISTENT with that random little one-off story from a field guide. Gray Wing is, in fact, worked in as one of the leaders of WindClan from before the Clans have nine-lived leaders. Code of the Clans, published even earlier in 2009 mentions that Owlstar, an early leader of ThunderClan opposes a suggested addition to the Warrior Code that only cats with forest blood can be warriors, and it is speculated that he opposed this rule because he himself had kittypet blood. In Thunderstar's Echo, published in 2017, who do we see become the ThunderClan deputy? Owl Eyes, son of Turtle Tail and the kittypet Tom. And it gets even better. Secrets of the Clans, published back in 2007 details how the first medicine cat, the easily distracted Mothflight, discovered the Moonstone after angering her mother Wind by putting Gorsefur, Wind's mate and deputy at risk. That's all completely consistent with Moth Flight's Vision, written a whopping EIGHT YEARS LATER. So you'll get consistancy like that and then the authors will just turn around and forget that Hollyleaf intentionally killed Ashfur, or make Whitestorm a warrior in the allegiances while also listing him as a kit on the next page. It's like they're deliberately fucking with us. I hate it here but I also wouldn't want it any other way.

If there was a pole between jagged peak, star Flower, and gores fur who would you pick?

I would pick gores fur but I would like to see more of star flowers past and one eye

I would pick Gorsefur personally , but only if it was about him becoming Gorsestar since that is canon. I think it would be really interesting to have to witness him lose his life partner and take her place as leader, with the knowledge he will have to live 9 lifetimes without her.

He was actually in the poll which caused Blackstar to get his novella, he was last place though iirc

FD/GG Warriors AU- Arc 1

So I went ahead and wrote out a very abridged version of the First Arc of this Warriors Multi-AU I’ve been locked on to for like 24 hours. Here’s the key characters in this arc (All Guardian Ghost characters this time around), just quick enough to get an idea of who I’m talking about and how to visualize them in your heads. This is also bound to change if I ever elaborate on it but for now this is how the Warriors AU goes down for Arc 1

Lakeclan is the focus. It’s the end of a very dry winter, and they had a fire a month prior that ravaged their territories the most. (Forest and Swamp Clan getting moderately hit themselves). The previous leader of the clan died in the fire along with a handful of other cats, Rustclaw gaining his 9 lives pretty shortly afterward.

At the same time, a freshly apprenticed Twigpaw is sick and tired of the other apprentices treating him like garbage, and the older cats not seeming to notice or even care, and he doesn’t even want to see his mentor. He impulsively decides to go hunting on his own...and gets hit by a car.

He’s saved by Blazepelt, who Twigpaw thinks is a real cat until multiple cats explain that Blazepelt’s been dead since the fire. So now Twigpaw has a ghost following him around that only he can see and hear. Cool.

As he’s recovering, he finally gets to meet his mentor Rockpool, along with his sister Bramblelight. They both mention having seen Blazepelt while nearly drowning and nearly dying from food poisoning respectively. Now these 3 cats are the only ones who can see Blazepelt.

Meanwhile, Gorsefur, the medicine cat, gets a vision.

He sees a cat made of twigs, bathed in a blue light, with glowing green eyes. A cat of flames, water, and brambles behind them. The twig cat has a broken rusted star in their paws

Gorsefur fails to mention this to Ruststar until it’s forced out.

Other bits

Ruststar has the unique ability of biting other cats and said cats basically becoming zombies that follow him like a hivemind, losing fur color and eyes changing red in the process 

He’s absolutely been pulling strings behind the scenes to take the leadership position, but is such a smooth talker that no one really questions it

The M4 (Blazepelt in particular) are pretty suspicious of Ruststar, but try and go through clan life as normal while keeping a very close eye on him

Blazepelt casually mentions that Ruststar let him die in the fire after witnessing their previous leader get murdered.

The clan itself works okay but holy moley they’re kinda territory hungry aren’t they??

Ruststar eventually catches on to the fact that he’s meant to die by the hands of a cat made of...branches? Brambles?? He’s not entirely clear. But Bramblelight matches his initial picture of the cat in question. He sends some of his minions to kill her off and then freak out over “rouges” later

He keeps bringing in more when Bramblelight and Rockpool prove to be a formidable force against these guys.

Twigpaw even starts getting targeted by “rouge” attacks by proxy, Blazepelt being a huge help in fighting them off.

Rockpool and Bramblelight still die before Twigpaw even gets his Warrior name. It’s not great. Rockpool got bitten by Ruststar and Bramblelight pulled a sacrifice play before mercy-killing Rockpool herself, dying on the ground before anyone else could get over and help her.

Meanwhile, Jaypaw (Blazepelt’s younger brother) and Amberpaw (Annie) become apprentices and help Twigpaw and Blazepelt uncover Ruststar’s secrets and get him kicked out. But before they can do so, Ruststar declares war on all the other clans, claiming everything for himself and his (by now) massive army of his hivemind zombie cats. 

All hell breaks loose as all the clan cats square off against Ruststar and his massive self made army. Twigpaw is killed during the final battle, but Blazepelt uses the last of his energy to shove Twigpaw’s soul back into his body so Twigpaw can deal the final blow against Ruststar.

EPILOGUE

Twigpaw, now Twigtail, has finally recovered from the big battle. Everything settled down and the clans are at peace because they all had some pretty severe losses and need time to recover. He was given his Warrior name after he woke up the first time, ignoring the vigil part considering how crazy his injuries were. It took a few months but at last he was able to help his clan again, and another few before he got an apprentice, Flarepaw. (Conveniently enough, Blazepelt’s reincarnated soul is in there, neat). Amberpelt and Jaysight had kittens of their own, Rockkit and Bramblekit (named after Rockpool and Bramblelight, they aren’t reincarnations though)

The epilogue cuts right to Twigtail training Flarepaw, when the current leader of Lake Clan wants Twigtail to be their deputy once Flarepaw is a proper Warrior, the current Deputy was a temporary placeholder and both agreed that Twigtail would be a perfect fit. Twigtail is reluctant but with a push from Flarepaw, accepts the offer.

This first series ends with Twigtail looking at the sky, sad for the death of his friends, but looking forward to the future, for once.
