#The Three

[dayz-ina-daze]

It drives me crazy when I hear people specifically call Leafpool “a bad mother”… when she wasn’t a mother??

It’s supposed to be some misogynistic “own” against Leaf by the people who loathe her (very solid and well-written, wonderfully flawed) character, I’m aware, but like. Y’all. Leafpool wasn’t the Three’s mother.

She gave birth to them, sure. But for all their lives until they became adults, at which point raising them had become a done job, Leafpool was their aunt. I don’t think she ever even tried to parent them, outside of Jayfeather, who was her apprentice, so the lines there are already blurred. Squirrelflight was their mother. She raised them. She cared for them and watched over them and was the one to comfort them when they cried or needed something.

Leafpool couldn’t be a “bad mother” because she was never a mother, and it’s weird and frustrating to me that people still insist on calling her such… /shrug

anyways i was talking about leafhawk stuff because i was working on drawing this, which started as just designing the three as though they were leafhawk kids and turned into.... something else ig but i like it!

[since-times-long-forgotten]

@aiko-kpwc tumblr ate your ask :( But anyways! You’d suggested I draw Yellowfang, so here she is! Scruffy old lady >:)

(please click for better quality) but wait, that’s not all…

I also drew the Three as Yellowfang/Bluestar hypokits! I’ve kept Jay’s name the same, but I renamed Holly to Juniperkit (for her blue instead of green eyes), and Lion to Stormkit! I tried to stay accurate to genetics, so Lion/Storm has unfortunately lost his golden fur, which is why I renamed him lol

possible spoilers for power of three & yellowfang’s secret & bluestar’s prophecy under the cut, plus lots of writing!

In this hypothetical world, we have a few options. Option one: This litter follows Yellowfang’s litter’s path, and Jaykit and Stormkit take the place of Wishkit & Hopekit, thus dying at birth. Juniperkit takes on the role of Brokenstar, going all evil-murder-cat, but in a different way than Broken. Maybe she takes the warrior code to higher levels, or maybe she discards it. Possibilities are endless! Jayfrost, Juniperfall, Stormfang?

Second option: the litter follows Bluestar’s litter’s path, with Stormkit taking the place of Mosskit, and Jaykit & Juniperkit taking the place of Misty & Stone, being taken to ShadowClan. ooh wait, maybe we can mix stories…

Juniperkit, Jaykit, and Stormkit are born into ThunderClan by their mother Bluefur. All three kits survive their birth, and Blue brings them to ShadowClan to live with their other mom Yellowfang, who has to give the litter to Lizardstripe (just pretend timelines make sense). Lizardstripe is in a super difficult position— she doesn’t want kits, never really did, but got pregnant, and now three more kits are being forced upon her by the Clan leader Raggedstar. She’s not a good mother, and honestly who can blame her? Well. The majority of ShadowClan can, I guess. But then Storm and Jay die from a sickness, Juniper blames Yellowfang and Raggedstar— Yellowfang for not healing her brothers, Ragged refusing to let Yellowfang treat Storm and Jay because they were too far gone. The ghosts of Jay and Storm kind of follow Juniper around, and they stay kits whilst Juniperkit grows to an apprentice, and then a warrior— Juniperfall, perhaps? She discovers she has a power (instead of Jay&Lion having powers and Holly not, now Juniper has powers & Jay&Storm don’t) to… idk, see the dead? Fade into shadows/go invisible? Juniper is super protective over young cats now, but also has a grudge against Ragged and Yellow, due to her brother’s deaths. She becomes deputy, then kills Raggedstar by making him eat deathberries (👀 deathberries… woah… haven’t seen that before I’m sure… (looks at Hollyleaf and Leafpool) ). But after killing him… she can no longer see Jay and Storm. She can see other dead cats, but her brothers have left her. They are afraid of who she has become, and honestly, it scares her too. She becomes Juniperstar, and tries to fix her wrongs, but in a way where she actually is being kind of evil, but has a reason for being evil, protective, etc etc, stuff like that. She steals kits to raise them in ShadowClan to be safer, trains them from a younger age so that they’re stronger sooner and hopefully won’t die young (this backfires at a few different points probably). Alright that’s all I’ve got!

Who up warring they cat

My last warriors design was the first post on this blog that people snacked on so in a fit of art block I bring you more, specifically The Threw™ who made young me scrap my little wolf story because I was afraid people would say I was copying warrior cats

Hollyleaf honestly is pretty basic, just every trait if seen the fandom give her thrown into one design. I love when people give her a beard it's so silly and the red/green eyes are just iconic at this point tbh. Can't forget holly fur and emo hair tuft god bless the United states of Hollyleaf

Lionblaze also looks a little basic but I did put thought into it I prommy. He's actually heavily based off of the Firestar design I did and I gave him the white paw because like. I always see people give it to Hollyleaf or Jayfeather (more so hollyleaf) I don't think I've ever seen it with Lionblaze. If he can't have a personality, at least let him have that. I'm also pretty sure he has a torn ear idk it's been a few years since I read the books

And Jayfeather. Idk dawg. I thought I had a vision but I lost it. The only bit that survived was thin pupils for some reason. Stars on his cheeks kind of just appeared. They reminded me of the usual star on the chest you'd commonly see on Three designs so I kept it and gave them to Lionblaze too. I thought the eyes of the head was a silly thought too, both because eyes are something you see a lot in Jay's designs and because of the tiger link. Since people initially believed Bramble was his father, making Tigerstar his grandfather, I thought it would be a silly link. Maybe I'll give something similar to Tigerstar

Hollyleaf

Day 8 of Alphabet warrior cats! For “H” I did Holyleaf and I added Fallen Leaves in there too (sorry it’s a little late I’ve been busy) Hope you like it!

[mist-the-wannabe-linguist]

they're everything to me

[polaroidraptor]

This official art of Hollyleaf made me think of an AU where Lionblaze and Jayfeather are Crowfeather and Leafpool's kits, but Breezepelt and Hollyleaf are Crowfeather & Nightcloud's kits

It would be interesting, certainly. 🤔🤔

[dayz-ina-daze]

I think it would have been really cool if the Three all had powers that “went against StarClan” aka had something to do with death

Jayfeather could bring a cat back from death (Poppyfrost) and had an unusually powerful link to the Clan’s afterlives

Lionblaze could go without dying of usual means: through combat/injury or through illness, since I don’t ever think we’ve seen him get sick

And Dovewing/Hollyleaf/whoever you prefer the last member of the Three to be could sense when a cat was about to die, or perhaps predict when, or even could interact with ghosts to a certain degree

Ideally there would be four, ofc: defying death, interacting with death, predicting death, and speaking with the dead

Idk. Since their powers were all leading up to the huge battle with the Dark Forest, it would’ve been far more fun to have the Three’s powers connect to it somehow beyond solely Jayfeather’s.

It would’ve been really fun for some otherworldly power to look at the Clans and the Clan’s afterlives and be like “hey.. so many lives will be lost, so many spirits will be corrupted, and the shift of the world’s balance between life and death, living and ghost, could be put in jeopardy… So let’s give these Clanborn cats these specific set of powers and let THEM deal with it so we don’t have to”

….. Nobody take this idea pls, I might run with it…

Has there ever been a Seer blessed by Horoa? I’d imagine it’s very rare since his specialty is Hunting and Fighting mostly.

But also! Do the Horoa hunters get any special appearance when they become a Hunter of his? Like glowing eyes, a more golden shine to their pelts? Also who was the first servant of his?

Horoa almost never has anything to do with blessing seers. I'm sure there's been a couple apprentices in history who were given his blessing, but none exist in current memory because the idea is a very strange one. Like you said, he's a fighter and a hunter - he's ideal for warrior apprentices who require courage and steadfastness. Besides not needing to learn either fighting or hunting, seers are generally pretty confident in who and what they are. You don't get to that position based on a guess.

As for his hunters: they do change in appearance! They become larger than any living cat (or any normal StarClan cat, for that matter), their eyes shine with the power of the sun, and while their pelt colors don't change, they do seem to illuminate somehow. Sort of a glowing silhouette around them, making it feel like they have the sun at their backs all the time.

His first servant isn't known for sure, but common belief is that Brawn, the founder of ThunderClan, is among his hall and hunts with him, so maybe he was. Some think that Brawn spends his time in StarClan, helping his founding friends lead the peaceful union of all of their descendants. It's sort of a topic of debate, where the founders ended up.
