#Waspstar

[bonefall]

i NEED to know more about waspwhisker/waspstar now that xey seem to be leader during TBC/ASC. are xey as levelheaded as leafstar or more aggressive? i think it would be fun if xey were willing to defend skyclans separate culture WAY MORE than leafstar was willing to. that would especially bring conflict with the imposter and maybe could even lead to a battle!

I'm leaning HEAVILY towards doing it. Killing off Leafstar during Squirrelflight's Horror by having Juniperclaw poison their food makes perfect sense. He was trying to make them desperate to leave the territory, so they'd invade the Sisters' camp.

Plus, then I can delete the Meadow Saffron subplot. There was no new plant that suddenly showed up like a big coincidence RIGHT as tensions escalated-- Sparkpelt can just have gotten a bite of the poisoned food somehow.

(Maybe a diplomatic meeting... I'll think about it.)

Anyway, here's an Intro to BB!Waspwhisker, and how xey would act as Waspstar in comparison to BB!Leafstar;

WASPWHISKER

Once the ShadowClan family tree is complete, I will be going back to SkyClan's overhaul and making it more significant.

But in the meanwhile, Waspwhisker is a very close family cat to xeir mate Fallowfern, and kids; Plumwillow, Rabbitleap, and Creekfeather.

(Nettleplash might be gone, unsure.)

I really like Creekfeather for absolutely no reason. I just like his name lmao. SO I'm probably going to put him into The Kin so I can get mileage out of him as a villain

Having Waspwhisker have to fight and maybe even kill xeir own son sounds absolutely JUICY. Push this guy to the BRINK

Show, over and over, how Waspwhisker is willing to put SkyClan above everything xey've ever loved.

When The Kin absorbed a significant portion of SkyClan, Waspwhisker took Leafstar's side. Though xey can be tough, xey're always fair and rational.

The reason to exclude Daylight Warriors makes no sense and is just based on pride, in xeir eyes. The Daylight Warriors are not the ones attacking the camp right now, are they?

There are SkyClan Warriors in the gorge that night, and there are traitors.

And if that includes Creekfeather... then so be it. Creekfeather has made his choice.

You might think that Waspwhisker is a mean person. Xey're not.

In fact, when it comes to friends and family, Wasp's compassion is absolutely limitless.

Plumwillow and Rabbitleap get their love of long discussions from xem, as a Ba Waspwhisker was always encouraging their curiosity.

Xey like to answer questions with more questions, and guide kits and apprentices by leading them to the right answer instead of outright telling them.

The thing that makes Waspwhisker so brutal is that, well... xey just don't see the value in being overly generous. Xey want what xey are owed.

Down to the last scrap of fur, the final droplet of blood.

As a warrior who has gone through so much, loved so thoroughly, and serves a people who have lost everything, shouldn't respect come with that?

SkyClan has been cheated, threatened, and betrayed from the moment they were driven from the forest. Waspwhisker believes in reciprocity like it's a bank account-- xey simply want the positives and the negatives to be in balance.

It feels clear to xem that the moment they stepped paw into the new forest, the Forest Four saw them as pitiable.

They were not equal. SkyClan is a mixed-blood Clan of ex-kittypets and loners.

The politeness that defines SkyClan, helped to keep coalitions of cats together at a distance through forgiveness and cordiality, is a funny joke to Forest Four.

Though times are changing in Clan Culture, strength is currently still a stronger value than diplomacy.

Leafstar was playing by SkyClan rules. They have their own values, traditions, even a copy of the warrior code that diverges earlier.

But Waspwhisker can see-- what at first seems "amusing" about SkyClan to the Forest Four is quickly hardening into contempt.

And that contempt is mutual.

Forest Four cats are proud, self-absorbed, xenophobic, and stubborn. And they don't even realize that.

They're so used to only ever dealing with each other. With their big bluffs, political showboating, and ceremonial fights.

To Waspwhisker, it seems as though Forest Four cats see battle like a game. One you play together, with ancient, unspoken rules that SkyClan has been locked out of for generations.

It's been so long since they've known REAL fear that they've forgotten it. SkyClan hasn't.

Claws aren't toys; battle isn't a game. To SkyClan, their skills are a martial art.

To be respected.

In SkyClan's conversation about what "version" of the Warrior Code they will use, and how they interact with other Clans, Waspwhisker has always felt uneasy about the very premise.

Who interprets the Code, to begin with? Us, or them?

WASPSTAR

If I end up going with this, Leafstar will die of poisoning in Squirrelflight's Horror.

Juniperclaw did it to try and convince SkyClan that the Sisters ARE a threat. He wants them out of ShadowClan territory.

At first, Heartstar is going to refute any accusations of her deputy/nephew doing this poisoning. Nepotism is her consistent weak spot.

Waspwhisker might have died too, but someone tasted poison.

(Maybe I'll have it be the wounded sister they are holding as a prisoner. She can recognize a flower in a spoonful of soup and lurch foward to slap it out of their paw, then dump over the pot. Maybe when Squilf's about to have a bite, so there's a big accusation that the sister only stopped it to try and help the one who's been nice to her)

But in any case, when Waspwhisker finds out that it was a Forest Four warrior who did this...

It really solidifies in xem that xeir uneasiness was right.

Juniperclaw may have acted alone, but his feelings were born out of a deeper spite. One that Leafstar was too optimistic about.

They'll never take SkyClan seriously if something is not done about Juniperclaw. Exile is a JOKE.

The only thing that Forest Four cats seem to respect is brutality.

So xey will GIVE them brutality.

You demand we follow your version of this code?

"We'll start with a true warrior not needing to kill to win his battles, unless it is necessary for self-defense. Understand that I have no reason to believe Juniperclaw would not do it again. This was self-defense."

If the Forest Four can't even be consistent about Commandment 1, then they wouldn't be able to handle how SkyClan interprets the rest.

Xey insist SkyClan matters will be handled by SkyClan. When a law would affect another Clan, then we can discuss it.

Like Bramblestar, Waspstar refuses to be pushed around.

Unlike Bramblestar, they aren't a particularly emotional or biased person. In fact, Waspstar is cold.

That reputation is exactly what xey want, though. Let it precede us. "If they fear us, we live in peace. If they respect us, we live in peace. I offer the choice of which type of harmony we have together."

A good diplomat realizes quickly that Waspstar is not unreasonable, though. Getting xem to do anything is a matter of demonstrating mutual benefit.

Or making a show of goodwill.

Hawkwing is chosen as Waspstar's deputy because of his compassion and commitment.

They're not TOO different as well, and that's a plus to Wasp. Xey want the deputy to see eye-to-eye with xem, but still be bold and emotional enough to launch a challenge if needed.

Xey have thought fondly of Hawkwing ever since Plumwillow's mate went missing, and Hawkwing became a father to Wasp's grandkits.

Unfortunately, I can see Waspstar either respecting the Impostor a lot (for living by the same brutality he demands of other Clans) OR coming to a huge battle against the Impostor (for trying to force SkyClan to live a certain way).

In contrast to BB!Leafstar, who would think Bramblefake is a lunatic from the very beginning.

In a nutshell; If the two leaders heard the phrase, "an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind,"

Leafstar would hum and smile, praising the wisdom of the words. There are many ways to win a battle, and she does not want SkyClan to have to lose its peaceful life after enduring so much hardship. "That which cannot be fixed must be broken, and revenge is not something that can be repaired."

Waspstar would gently shake xeir head. That hope died with her. Either SkyClan will choose the change they make, or it will be taken. Our new neighbors respect only one thing, and if we want our kittens to live in peace, then we must study war, "If the enemy has taken your eye, take both of theirs."

The New Leaders of The Clans.

Here it is. A big spoiler for WCR. I've been working on this for ages, since... God, hang on.

June 1st, 2023.

That was when I made the choice to replace all leaders of the Clans.

So... If you want to know, keep reading.

If you don't, scroll on. I'll put a cat meme on the end of this post, so you know what the safe point is.

The new leader of Riverclan is....

Minnowtail. A cat without any connection to Starclan, and thus the cursed Moonpool. Her natural Dark Forest connection she was born with acted like a shield, protecting her from Gray Wing's curse and allowing it to be destroyed! Her deputy is Icewing!

The new leader of Windclan is....

Heathertail. Breezepelt, Harestar's beloved deputy, was brutally attacked by the curse's effect, leaving him on the verge of death. He decided that he wanted to become Head Queen instead, pursuing a new passion of teaching Windclan's youths. Heathertail becomes Heatherstar, and reintroduces Tunneling to Windclan. Her deputy is Leaftail!

The new leader of Skyclan is...

Waspwhisker. After his long trek home and a very awkward reunion due to Leafstar having died literally 15 seconds beforehand, Waspwhisker is at the center of a terrible political battle against his will. Skyclan is split in half between Hawk supporters and Wasp supporters, neither man wanting to be part of it and wishing Starclan could just... Maybe give them both 4 and a half lives? When the final vote is cast, Waspwhisker rises to become Waspstar. His deputy is Skybranch.

The new leader of Shadowclan is...

Lightleap. I'm going with the plan I had. The other plan was to reinstate Tigerheart under the new name Heartstar, but I've realized that him giving the finger to Starclan and putting his daughter in charge is a much more in character move. Also... Tigerclaw parallels with Berryheart. Her deputy is Pouncestep.

The new leader of Thunderclan is...

Hollyleaf. After all this time, after near death encounters and corrupt ex-fathers and dealing with Starclan's nonsense... Hollyleaf ascends to become Hollystar, the last leader to use the renewed Moonpool, taking on Bristlepaw as her apprentice, as it seems that the young molly is about to have some Starclan-related issues of her own...

And that's it! What do you think? Let me know!

Anyways cat meme!

[bumblingbabooshka]

hiii im in the middle of watching voy for the first time (i just finished watching 6x6 riddles actually) and ive always recognized you as That person who Loves tuvok and i wanted to know your thoughts on neelix and tuvok's relationship? its my favorite aspect of voy personally but im interested in hearing how a massive tuvok fan like you feels about them

Tuvok & Neelix Thoughts (Fractured): Man who grows flowers for food loves a man who grows them purely for beauty, Annoying4Annoying, Comedy routines, Intricate rituals and the playing up of roles, Aliens amongst humans - to assimilate or remain stubborn?, Bringer of water/Bringer of life, Seeing an angel through the mist, Two people who have difficulty communicating and come off as off-putting to those around them, Unrequited love, Love is stored in the food + kitchen, Family men left without any family, People from impossible moons, Jokes that go too far, Horrific loneliness being masked by something else, I won't leave you alone (pos&neg), Cracks in the facade, People pretending and pretending and pretending, Leolaroot I Can't Help It I'm A Moth To The Flame Required Viewing, I can only admit I like you when no one else is around - when the situation's as bleak as can be - when we're seconds from death - only then will I admit that it's been fun. Apologies in the form of sliced apples instead of words vs Apologies in the form of long and tearful contrition. LET ME IN!!! LET ME IN!!!! Locked door you keep bruising your hand banging against. People who love too much so they: keep knocking, keep their ear against the door.

My thoughts are that Neelix is a silly goofy little tragic clown of a man and Tuvok thinks he's so much better than him but in actuality whatever they're up to makes them both look stupid <3 /affectionate Neelix having a crush on Tuvok is canon to me - what Tuvok's response to or level of knowledge of that is changes by the day.

alright here we go! edits of the leader, deputy, and medicine cat of each clan outside of PhoenixClan! dw i will be drawing my own art of these characters eventually too :) i just really had fun editing these sprites, and it has made finalizing a new design a really nice experience

anyways, without further adieu! here they are:

MouseClan

The cats closest to HawkClan, both as allies and as neighbours. The cats of MouseClan live in deep burrows within their moorland home, and were the least affected by the great fire, as they found refuge underground; only their leader fell to smoke inhalation.

Leader - Foxstar

Female; 64 moons old; sincere; very clever and camp keeper

Deputy - Nightstorm

Male; 60 moons old; thoughtful; valuable insight and keen eyed

Medicine Cat - Poppybloom

Female; 16 moons old; nervous; talented swimmer and omen sight

FerretClan

HawkClan's greatest rivals, who fought the fiercest with them on many occasions. They live within burrows in tree stumps, near a TwolegPlace. Though HawkClan was the most devastated by the great fire, FerretClan was also deeply impacted by the fire, losing their leader, deputy, and oldest medicine cat all in one event. The other clans feel... concerned, about the new leadership, though they try not to voice their disdain.

Leader - Darkstar

Female; 94 moons old; strange; unnatural senses and ghost sight

Deputy - Stoatpelt

Female; 21 moons old; shameless; incredible runner and incredibly clever

Medicine Cat - Dawnberry

Female; 71 moons old; strict; fantastic healer and trusted advisor

DeerClan

DeerClan are said to be the oldest and wisest of the clans of the area - however, some of the other clans believe them to be stuck in their ways. Though they were impacted by the great fire, their old ways actually helped them to avoid major losses, allowing their now-ancient leader and medicine cat to survive.

Leader - Elmstar

Male; 180 moons old; charismatic; incredibly clever and eloquent speaker

Deputy - Owlstripe

Male; 54 moons old; arrogant; beloved kitsitter and trusted advisor

Medicine Cat - Deerfang

Male; 130 moons old; cold; prophet and incredibly clairvoyant

AdderClan

AdderClan are incredibly secretive compared to the other clans. These cats always seem to be on their toes, unsure of whether or not they can trust the other clans. Even their camp is located in an isolated grotto that hides them well from the rest of the forest. None of the other clans know if AdderClan lost any cats to the fire, as none have been declared and their leadership has stayed the same.

Leader - Waspstar

Female; 124 moons old; fierce; renowned hunter and unusually strong fighter

Deputy - Mosquitofang

Female; 72 moons old; daring; incredible climber and fast as the wind

Medicine Cat - Plumnose

Male; 34 moons old; insecure; fantastic healer and strong connection to StarClan

[bonefall]

I like that Waspstar's name has some symbolism to it! Real wasps having a reputation of stinging without reason or being aggressive, when in reality they're normally just protecting their hives..

Oooo, thanks for pointing out, that's delicious.

Most of the time, Canon!Waspwhisker has blue eyes since he's a gray and white cat... but none of his kits have blue eyes anyway, and there's too many cats with this color scheme anyway.

So maybe I'll make BB!Waspwhisker have BRIGHT yellow eyes, just like a yellowjacket. I'll even make the gray patch on xeir head resemble the T-shape that a common wasp has. This mark helps distinguish a more "aggressive" common wasp from the passive (but larger) german wasp

Xey're not trying to hurt you, so don't try to hurt xem. Come openly, speak calmly, perhaps make a small offering of meat and sweets and you'll see no problems.

CW: BUG FACE. Insect. Close-up head of a wasp.

[ID: A common wasp. From top down, its head is striped black, then yellow, then a black stripe connects its antennae and dips downward into a T. A final black stripe defines its mandible and "lips."]

Funfact; the common wasp is rare in the US, but the German wasp has been widely introduced. If the yellowjackets seem "smaller" in the UK, that's probably because you're looking at a common wasp!

[addystuffs]

let me tell you all a story. (it is a tragic one) one day, my lovely friend introduced me to the game clangen. i had a lot of fun playing it and streaming it to my friends over discord. one fateful day this cat walked into my clan.

rizz. he was a trans male kittypet that walked into my clan, timberclan.

the rest of the story under the cut cuz this is a long story (but i promise it will be worth your time)

it was great. rizz sat in the background for a while, before eventually retiring and finding a mate.

then, one day, rizz became pregnant. i was elated. but when i went on with the moons, rizz died giving birth to 2 kits. both male. i was devastated. i hated those children. but then, i realized, no, thats silly, and named his children after him. rizzkit (to become rizz jr) and wkit (to becom w rizz)

and thus, the rizz bloodline was born. it was awesome. unfortunately, wpaw died before becoming a warrior, but i gave him his full warrior name, w rizz, in starclan.

soon, rizz jr found a mate and had more kits, rizzkit, (to become rizz the third) wkit, (to honor his lost brother) and also 2 female kits, named supporting and aiding kit respectively (to become supporting and aiding the rizz bloodline)

soon, my original leader, whirlstar, died of old age, and was replaced by waspflood. and who did i make deputy you ask?

rizz jr.

i made up my mind that day. from now on, this clan would be a monarchy of the rizz bloodline. i killed off waspstar after a while, to make way for rizz jr, and he became rizz jr star.

and so it went for a long time. rizz the third had rizz the fourth, and rizz the fourth had rizz the fifth. the rizz bloodline spanned the whole clan, with all distant relatives having the suffix of rizz. there was actually also up to w rizz the fourth. we lost many along the way but we were happy.

then i made the gravest mistake i could have made.

my clan was growing to huge numbers, around 140 cats in the clan. so, i decided to turn on mass extinction events for the heck of it. that was the gravest mistake i ever made in my entire life.

within moons, almost half my cats got taken by twolegs, including rizz the third, who was deputy. i definitely freaked out, but i wasnt entirely distraught yet. i made rizz the fourth deputy, and moved on with clan life.

but soon, another mass extinction event happened, this time killing the cats instead of just taking them away.

rizz the fourth and rizz the fifth died. rizz the fifth had not yet bore children either. the only direct descendant remaining was rizz jr star.

i desperately hit the timeskip button, hoping that rizz the third would come back to me.

but in my haste, i didnt notice that rizz jr star died until i got the message "timberclan has no leader"

at that point, i gave up.

i had vowed a while ago that, and i quote, "if the rizz bloodline ends i am deleting this clan"

so i did.

timberclan was no more.

the rizz bloodline was over.

there was nothing left.

i failed him.

i will never forget my journey with the rizz bloodline.

[warrior-cats-rewritten]

I really like Moonpaw’s design! And I’m hoping she is secretly a NightSun kit, with like a callback to the Three, which I think would be really cool. Probably not, but she is in my heart.

I quite like it as well! I actually have multiple au versions of her because nothing is even set in clay yet, let alone stone.

I personally love the versions of her where her absorbed twin is the "scary evil voice" (or just a bit more... "Mean", not afraid to call someone a dumbass), but also the version where she is the reincarnation of Bristlefrost. Sadly, that doesn't work with WCR...

I have the Meta Commentary/Cosmic Horror/Fandom heavy version of her as a NightSun baby, at the cost of Sunbeam's life. She wants to do lots of different things, and gets more into crafting than anything, but... She wants her dad to back off. Then the Moonpool gets involved... (This version is more canon compliant, no Bramble Strike happened and Crowfeather is closer to canon, that is to say a jackass) Meta Arc 9 AU

I've got the Continuation of ASC version of her as a FringeSpire baby, coming off the heels of the Skyclan Split and Gray Wing War. She's got a lot of pressure on her, and wants to one day be Leader. She has a fascination with the Moonpool when Waspstar takes her there. (She would be protags with Brightheart, who is oraganizing a way to fight the encroaching Twolegs with Cranberrynose and Skybranch) (this one is even funnier because I already had kits planned for them named Moonkit and Poolkit, born at the Moonpool) Moon + Bright Arc 9 AU

I've got the other version of that where she's a ShellFern baby. It's much more simple, where her big desire is to be a Mediator. (She is protag with Tawnypelt, but also with Breezepelt struggling with his chronic pain and new role) ShellFern Arc 9 AU

I've got a StormCherry version, where there's pressure from being Daisykin, which has been developing quite the legacy. She's a little Poppyfrost clone! She would be the little sister of Silverspots, Flywhisker and Snaptooth, and they are already CherryStorm babies. The other protags are Leafkit, daughter of Featherpelt and Toadstep, who is hard of hearing, and Daisy, who is determined to get to the bottom of why Twolegs have begun to get closer, leading to a very... Strange discovery. Daisykin Arc 9 AU.

And then, I think my favorite little version of her, is the most WCR compliant. A WhistleFrost child found at the Moonpool the day after it was purified. The voice she hears in her head is her Nana Curlfeather arguing with other Dark Forest spirits. Is this Moonpaw going to be a hero? Maybe, maybe not. Multi-Med Cat Arc 9 AU.

Any more canon compliance and I'd make her a corrupted Ashfur/Bristlefrost fusion through Thriftear calling Queen's Rights after her journey during Thriftear's Heart. The Bristlefrost reincarnation absorbed the Ashfur reincarnation to create Moonpaw! She would carry pieces of their memories/personalities inside her, struggling with that, and with her deep connection to the Moonpool that she is growing more and more obsessed with... Reincarnation Arc 9 AU

But... All in all, I'm glad we have such a unique looking Protagonist. I still don't trust the writers, but I'm gonna give them a single point for going absolutely BONKERS with her design in ways that would make 2011 fans whine and scream. Keep going, give these kitties weird features!

[residents-of-the-darkforest]

Possible Waspstar designs!

Which do you like best?

For a bit more context: the previous SpringClan and CaveClan leaders, Falconstar and Waspstar, fought a long war that was ended by Falconstar dying and the newly appointed Rockstar making a secret pact with the then Deputy Littlebranch that they would not fight anymore no matter what Waspstar said. This enraged her so much that Rock had to kill her while trying to negotiate, and ever since SpringClan and CaveClan held a (very fragile) truce. Well, until now.
