Random little nicknames some kitties have:

Spottedleaf: Spotty (only Redtail gets to call her this, nobody else!)

Hollyleaf: 'Weaf', only used by Strawberrytuft (Hollytuft) because she struggled with Ls as a kitten, she keeps calling her that because it's funny to them both

Yellowfang: Yelf. Friends and family call her this, except Brightflower, who is MUCH more formal.

Moonflower: Moo. Rooktail and Daisytoe called her Moo when she was little, alternatively...

Goosefeather: Goo. See above.

Sunbeam: Sunshine, given by Blazefire and Lightleap.

Juniperclaw: Juni, from Sleekwhisker. Berryheart HATED it.

Cypresswind, the grown-up Cypresspaw: Cy. Her mother Perchwing calls her that, as well as all her friends (her sister Wavesplash, Foxnose, Willowshine, and Jayclaw)

Hootwhisker: Hooty, given to him by his mentor Leaftail.

art summary for last year

Full images and stuff:

January:

This was a (kind of pathetic) attempt at a Joy Ang style, featuring Albatross. February:

This was when my shading style was a bit more silly. Character is Queen Rhinestone for my AU. March:

The icon for one of my short stories, featuring Mourning Dove (left) and Strawberry (right). Strawberry’s snout is a bit off but it was one of my earlier attempts at that angle.

April:

This was my strange attempt at drawing a BeetleWing, specifically the unnamed lavender dragonet from The Lost Continent. May:

I forgot why I wanted to draw this, but I still do like it a lot nonetheless. Featuring my OC Wavesplash. June:

Another attempt at a canon artstyle, this time much more successful. Featuring my OC Aurora Borealis in the graphic novel/Mike Holmes style. July:

This was a redraw of something, I assumed in making the redraw that the character was meant to be Tsunami, but to be honest, I have no idea. August:

Just the drawing I did of my OC Bramble for ArtFight. September:

A drawing I did of Hvitur nabbing the SkyWing egg. October:

A redraw of the first part of the “One Lost SeaWing” series I started and never finished a few years ago. Note that the dragon herself was colored in grayscale (minus the eyes). November:

A drawing I did of Moonpaw and her sister (who I’m still calling Sunpaw) on the moonpool. December:

A drawing I spent a weirdly long time detailing for a dumb joke of Winter getting hit by a snowball.

Future kit names I’d love to see more, if at all:

Aspenkit, Finchkit, Canarykit, Maplekit, Magpiekit, Wolfkit, Bearkit, Ratkit, Torrentkit, Cypresskit, Wavekit, Grousekit, Cardinalkit, Salmonkit, Carpkit, Pikekit, Vixenkit, Yewkit, Freezekit/Frozenkit, and Crabkit.

Some great warrior names for these would be Aspenbreeze, Finchsong, Canarywing, Mapleshine, Magpietalon, Wolfstrike, Bearheart, Ratclaw, Torrentsplash, Cypressfall, Wavecrash/Wavesplash, Grousefeather, Cardinaltail, Salmonleap, Carpwhisker, Pikefang, Vixenflight, Yewberry, Freezenose, Frozenpool, and Crabclaw or Crabcrawl

These are all so good. I’m really hoping also for Hedgehogkit and Duckkit, and another use of Goosekit

Monterey Bay Aquarium 07-09-24, Pt. 6

After the Jellies, took the elevator up to the top floor Observation Deck, for an even better overview of how things are laid out:

And the fog starts rolling in from the West in earnest.

Looking down at the Wavesplash-Window from above.

One of the boats we saw earlier returning now.

From here we took in the "Into The Deep" exhibit, which was just a little too dark for photos, and almost too dark for video, but I ended up getting SOME. The way in to the main room you pass through this groovy overhead-circle with a school of bait-ball fish swimming around your head.

Missed getting the cool Hammerhead shark that was in the main hall, a huge wall of a tank, but got a few seconds of the massive Sea Turtle. Mostly I just wanted to stand there and gawk...the scale is just so massive: that turtle is at least 3 feet across, those tuna fish are huge...at least 4 feet.

Look for Pt. 7!

昨日は夜明け前から始動して外房へ。 途中で見た朝焼けの美しさに感動してたら、波の音が轟いて来て、道中が波しぶきで霧のようになっている幻想的な景色に遭遇。沖に台風がいるからか波も音もすごい。そんな中たくさんのサーファー達の姿が見えました。 終日のロケハンとテスト撮影が無事終了したら昨夜は完全に気絶。 さて、やるべき仕事はあるけれど、ひとまず今日から夏休み。 行橋、帰るぞー！！ #sunrise #sunrise_sunsets #chiba #wavesplash #ocean #beach #kujukuri #外房 #九十九里 (九十九里ビーチライン) https://www.instagram.com/p/B09YgBThjMO/?igshid=hi81bj3fkww8

Grayclaw

"Looks like we're gonna have to kill this guy, Jinx Arcane."

"Damn."

Grayclaw is a silver tabby tom with spiral patterned stripes, long fur, sharp claws, broad shoulders, and ears that begin to curl inward at the tips by ASC Book 4. His eyes are ice-blue.

Poor Graypaw. He takes each loss he feels so deeply to heart. He was inconsolable when his Papa was gone, as he and Jayclaw had an incredibly close bond despite how young Graykit was.

When Curlfeather passed, Graypaw took it even more terribly. He was very nearly in denial, trying to hold himself together to be the "rock" for his sisters. He did not do it well.

Splashtail sunk his claws into him. Promised him security in return for support. He was Curlfeather's apprentice, he knew she would want him to watch over her kits. She was such a good, loving mother, wasn't she? Such a shame she's gone, she would have made a perfect leader, good thing she shared all her ideas with me to make me a perfect new candidate. Ah, rest, sweet Curlstar, I shall take care of your children for you...

Graypaw buys it. He supports Splashtail, his new best friend. When Splashtail claims his leadership, Graypaw vouches for him. His mother trusted him, he must clearly be worthy.

Then Frostpaw is "killed". She runs away from the Clans into a strange place with a small party of other cats, Sunbeam, Nightheart, Whistlepaw, and Shadowsight. No one knows this, of course. She is assumed to have died as well. Graypaw snaps. He cannot take another loss, and hangs on to every word Splashtail says. Splashtail is young and born from tumultuous times himself. Starclan has lead them astray in his eyes, and his mentality stems from a long cycle of violence that is as inevitable as an egg spoiling in summer heat. Graypaw swears he will do anything to keep Riverclan safe, and follow Splashstar's every order.

In return, Graypaw is immediately given his warrior name, Grayclaw. In honour of his beloved father, who would be so proud to see him. Splashstar tells Riverclan to yowl loud enough that Jayclaw will hear his name being honored. Funny that he left out any mention of 'Curlstar'.

Grayclaw becomes one of Splashstar's enforcers, quickly climbing the ranks. Grayclaw, Duskfur, Shinetoe, Brackenpelt, Foxnose, Shadenose, Wavesplash, Spikeleaf, and Mallownose all support him. While Mallownose is made deputy, Splashstar creates a second position. Head Enforcer.

Grayclaw is placed in that decorated position. He is in charge of enforcing Splashstar's rules, and making sure cats are compliant with them. He buries his head in the sand when it comes to complaints. The only one he'll listen to is his sister. Mistpaw, denied a warrior name for not singing Splashstar's praises, doesn't complain, but... She does make suggestions. She saw a lot of salmon in the stream, maybe they could do more hunting patrols today rather than making everyone go over battle moves for the 5th time in a row?

Grayclaw grieves his missing sister, presumed dead, he cannot stop thinking about how much of a failure he must be, that the only hope he has left is to keep Mistpaw safe... If she keeps looking upset, Splashstar will get angry...

He forces Mistpaw to bow to Splashstar, calling him Riverclan's true leader, and that the only reason she'd held off was due to her own grief for her mother. Of course Splashstar understands, he's so generous, so wise.

He gives her the name Mistwillow instantly, a beautiful name, and seems to settle down. Grayclaw sees this as having been the correct thing to do. It kept his sister safe and in line, and Splashstar approved.

Then, when the dust seemingly settled during a horrible battle with Windclan, Frostpaw appeared in the moonlight, silver fur shining and curled ears framing the crescent moon. She had a small group with her that was growing quickly, leading a rebellion against Splashstar and his enforcers. Grayclaw at first was enraged, he had mourned her so badly, fought so hard for the peace he had built for Mistwillow and himself, and now she came in trying to tear it all down. He fought like hell at first, going after the River Rebels and doing his best to destroy them.

And then he grew desperate. He begged Frostpaw to join them. They'd be a happy family again. They wouldn't have to be alone anymore. They could just go back to the way things used to be. She just had to give all of this up...

Frostfeather refuses, and The River Rebels make another push back into their home.

Grayclaw can't take it. He can't handle his sister abandoning him again. He needs to be better, to keep what he has left together as it slips through his claws like feathers in a hurricane. He resolves himself of one thing...

He'll always have his sister's memory.

Grayclaw catches his sister, crashing into her after a long chase up onto the highest cliff of Sun-Drown Place, the two rolling over each other, almost off the edge of the cliff.

As thunder cracks deafeningly above them and lightning shines in Frostfeather's star-filled eyes, Grayclaw pins her against soaking wet rock, sharpened claws raised high, dripping from the torrential rain around them... He knows if Frostfeather perishes, the rebellion will too. Splashstar needs him to do this.

He has to do this.

Why can't he do this?

[canon-notcanon-warriorcats]

Actually bells do work for most cats, we've used them for years they don't kill birds anymore cause they would bring them home. You said yourself cats adapt. They do. All cats have different levels of intelligence, my cat is more fire for outdoors than some cats. He's never gotten lost or "run away". Any information you have on outdoor cats seems to come from an indoor cat owner perspective. and also WIND TURBINES KILL 300,000 BIRDS A YEAR OR MORE. How you gonna say outdoor cats are the issue.

obviously the deaths of birds isn’t going to be from ONE cause

they aren’t THE issue

they are PART of the issue

so are turbines

so are humans destroying habitats and over hunting and poaching

so is climate change

keeping your cats supervised or indoors helps the problem

it’s like if i told someone to not recycle because it’s not “THE” problem causing climate change

there’s literally so many sources and personal experiences accounting for how damaging cats can be to birds and the environment, a friend of mine has had outdoor cats their entire life (not by their choice, because of their parents) 2 were stolen, 1 was poisoned and died, and one was hit by cars multiple times

congrats on your cats supposedly being super intelligent or whatever tho

[warriorsbutnotreally]

Idk if you’re still taking these but rate my warrior cats ocs’ names?

Falconsight

Frostfire

Wolfmask (they’re a lykoi)

Mistymoor

Wavesplash

Sunspots

Yarrowstep

Falconsight - I really like this name! A lot of -sight names call to me and my piss-poor vision funny enough lol. But also Falcon- is just a really good prefix 9/10

Frostfire - these 'contrary' names are so fun, right up there with the 'actual things' names. From name a long you can hazard some fun guesses on who this character is and what they're like 10/10

Wolfmask - this name made me realize that there's not enough -mask names. I think this is an interesting name for a Lykoi, though, and it probably would feel very fitting to those who see them 9/10

Mistymoor - still not sure how I feel about location suffixes, though Mistymoor does roll off the tongue pretty nicely. A nice, pleasant sounding name. 8/10

Wavesplash - funny enough, as much as I imagine this is a common name, I actually do not see this combo this often. I know there was the BlogClan member Wavepaw was named after, but that's the only other time I've seen this combo. It's a nice name 9/10

Sunspots - A really nice name and one of my personal favorite 'real thing' names out there. It's a really cool name, even if it's not one of the really fancy ones 10/10

Yarrowstep - I've always been picky with -step names, cause to me -step is a bit of a strange suffix, but I do like Yarrowstep. It has a good ring to it 8/10

[akitsune-lune]

trying to decide on my rarepairs of choice for Lightleap and Pouncestep before canon gets to them.

options rn are (if we stay within 12 moons age gap and limit inter-Clan to those that ShadowClan shares a border with)

Hopwhisker, Flaxfoot, Spireclaw, Sunbeam, or Hollowspring from ShadowClan

Nightsky, Breezeheart, Wavesplash, or Cypresswind from RiverClan

Sunnypelt, Pigeonfoot, Palesky, or Fringewhisker from SkyClan

I’m leaning towards Hopwhisker and Flaxfoot for no reason at all. who has some rarepair genius they want to lend in my endeavour? send me halp

Day 199: Friday July 17, 2020 - “Beachfront”

Arrived in Ludington for a steak dinner and a wavesplashed sunsetting Michigan sky as our reward for risking travel.  Bathing suits, cool air, and playing in the waves together. Great way to start off my summer vacation. 

Song: Driftwood - Lay Like You Do

Quote: “At the beginning of our life, we may feel bare and helpless and gradually adorn ourselves with the most fanciful trappings, trying to be ‘someone else’. After erring and drifting, we eventually realize we want to discover ‘ourselves’, without any airbrushing, so as to meet our real self and not the one imposed on us.” ― Erik Pevernagie
