Custom Hoodie [Kaito & Sweater]

cosmic-cannon-ocs Kaito “Can I have a custom sweater/hoodie?”

@asc-rp answered:

"Absolutely, any design requests?"

“Oh, I’d like a black hoodie with a large autumn leaf design on the back please,” Kaito replied, hoping his request was not too much trouble for her.

[amethyst-halo]

actually nightheart moving to shadowclan could be interesting bc we saw in both avos and tbc they just straight up start fights over shit in shadowclan and by god nightheart is good at stirring the pot

[bonefall]

Now we've got all six of em, can I just say that CRIPES ALMIGHTY the titles for a starless clan suck major ass! Both separately AND as a group!!

I Do Not Rewrite Arcs Until They Are Done BUT DO YOU WANNA HEAR MY WIP RENAMES SO FAR

Remember: Don't get too attached yet, the only one I can say with certainty will show up somewhere is the title of Book 4.

ARC RENAME: A Starless Clan -> A Prayer Unanswered

The original name is really good but I'm getting a vibe that the theme of the rework is going to be... when love isn't enough.

It's about how some things can't get better. It's about how all the kindness in the world couldn't get Bramblestar to turn around as a leader. It's about how Heartstar might have had good intentions, but occupation never works out in the end. It's Nightheart's relationship to his family being salvageable, not because they don't all want to fix it, but because his life has worked out best with distance from them.

So, Prayers Unanswered is both about the religious part of how RiverClan doesn't have a leader and can't get in proper touch with StarClan, but it's also about every other wish that hasn't come true.

River -> Starcrossed One of the VERY large changes I'm considering is actually massively reducing Nightheart's POV. I'm thinking of doing this, not because I dislike him, but because I think it might actually be a better story if the audience is guessing as to his intentions just as much as the other characters are. So, until he's ACTUALLY needed later, his chapters are short and sparse. So Starcrossed would be about setting up the troubles of the Clans, especially the parts of the conflicts I want to highlight more in BB. It would be setting up the rule changes for "starcrossed lovers" (lmao) but also the brewing anger that the cats have towards code changes... and StarClan, if I do decide to keep the newest revelations and work them in better, in hindsight.

Sky -> Fracture There's a phrase in my head that is so interesting to me that I need to do something with it. "Only frozen water can fracture." I want to make the RiverClan situation worse than in-canon. First of all, there's going to be identifiable groups this time which begin to scramble for power. Instead of having the cats just... forget how to do the chores they've done their whole lives, the Clan is splitting up into factions. This is why they won't be able to win against Heartstar later, when she decides to take drastic measures. They're not fighting like a Clan; they're fighting like a bunch of disorganized teams. There should also be a bunch of needless injuries, maybe even a border aggression that lead to a death, before Heartstar barges in. I also want to make this a bigger part of the story, Erins willing. Too much time was spent on the Catnip Patrol, imo, we're going to have ANOTHER big trip and I don't want this one to eat up so much time. Rowankit is also still going to die; and maybe a couple of elders around the Lake too.

Shadow -> Snakes and Turnclaws Berryheart's hate movement has been too tame, from canon books 1 - 4 as of the time of writing. It's ridiculous that they haven't even injured anyone in the Battle Cat series. I saved Antfur from the previous arc so that she can die here. We've been seeing the Anti-Turnclaw movement rise from the first book, so now with Nightheart's boldness leading him to a place where he will be unsafe, we need to see his rusty butt in actual danger. I'm even thinking that, instead of Nightheart failing his task on purpose, Sunbeam makes him fail by stopping him from getting killed. I need to know the ending of ASC first though, because I MIGHT be having Berryheart getting her exile here. Whatever kills Antfur is either deniable enough that she's able to squeak by while Sunbeam quietly leaves (refusing to accuse her mother of anything publicly) OR it's so obvious that Heartstar casts her out on the spot. Meanwhile, we see the OTHER half of ShadowClan's conflict as RiverClan finally unites... against them, as their common enemy. Task failed successfully, Heartsy

Thunder -> The Source of the River I'm still unspeakably proud of this outline. There's so much I want to do here. She's going to come back with a DND party and I'm hoping that all of them end up in RiverClan with her; INCLUDING Nightheart. I want the fact that he accompanied Frostpaw to actually be the final straw for him. While he's away, Sunbeam is acclimating to ThunderClan and falling in love with her new home. There are parts she misses about ShadowClan, but as she's adopted by Sparkpelt, taken as a secondary apprentice by the deputy, smiled upon by Squirrelstar after she pressures Bramblestar to abdicate... this starts to feel like this is where she belongs. And that's too hard for Nightheart to ever come back to. "You come to the source of the river, and are vexed that you do not find the water that is flowing downstream" dude.... man. That's what BB's about. Change. I also really want Nightheart to choose HIS OWN NAME by the end of this series-- so at some point in this book he should finally admit "Nightheart" wasn't his choice either. (I'm thinking Deltastep. Because his journey with Frostpaw begins at the southern delta of my reworked map.)

And I haven't done them for Book 5 or Book 6 yet, especially since I might end up condensing them or chopping them up to put into the other books.

I do know I'm really love to play with the idea of a starless sky for one of the last books though, I may or may not keep Splashtail's lack of faith in StarClan (hate the Evil Atheist thing they keep doing), but the idea of a "Pitch-Black Star" absolute fucks as symbolism, ngl. Maybe something like "A Gap in the Stars" or "Constellation's Void" or "The Stolen Star"

Also also also I'm having Curlfeather come back as a Dark Forest Demon for at LEAST one scene.

I don't give a good goddamn if they don't go to the Dark Forest or not. ONE weird coincidence that could totally have been Just Good Luck but was actually Curlfeather. Let Her Drown Splashtail, she deserves it. Let her be a malevolent spirit who protects her baby. RiverClan can whine all it wants about Mothwing who ooo doesn't believe in God, Frostpaw's got a demon. Cry about it

Also I hope Frostpaw becomes leader because I'll make it go hard

Missed opportunities: One Piece #1

Subject: Ace's "ASCE" arm tattoo. We all know the iconic tattoos of Luffy's older brother. Jolly Roger and his name, which have been altered to match the symbolism behind it.

The "ASCE" tattoo is pretty simple and could use a redesign. To make it something more than just tattooing his own name with a "mistake". Especially since it makes it easier for the marines to recognize him. (All tattoos make it easier, this one just shows them his real name). So I thought hard about it, because I am found of original one.

What if we replace it with the word "SOLACE." Here are some reasons why it might be a good replacement (missed opportunity):

it still includes the "Ace" part, as well as Sabo and Luffy's initials;

One Piece's plot revolves around the theme of the sun; "sol" means sun; the "o" can be designed to look like the sun; it would be especially cool if Ace did it after meeting/fighting Jinbe - former sun pirate (in a way to honor yet another person, who was his first step in fighting Whitebeard, and finding his new home away from home);

because the word solace means "to comfort or console in times of suffering or sorrow" (noun) and "to console or comfort" (verb); it fits quite well with Ace's character and what he overcame - his life story;

it also adds symbolism, since his chosen family is the one that brings comfort to his life.

That's all.

[tomjamesavery]

The original ones...

Tom Riddle and his oldest Death Eaters, his dorm mates from his time at Hogwarts, some of his most loyal and cruel followers.

All Characters have been created with the prompts and description from @breaniebree ´s Story, ASC. At least for those of whom I had descriptions, for some, I had to improvise as there was no description of their looks.

Starting with the one and only, Tom Marvolo Riddle:

He was created on this prompt:

"A 25 year old evil good looking man called Tom Riddle with a sharp pointed face in dark robes, dark gloomy"

And this picture was also used as a prompt:

Next up is Titus Avery:

For him I had to improvise as I had no description of his looks in ASC, so I took a picture of the original Avery from Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince as a prompt as well as this:

"A 25 year old evil good looking man called Titus Avery with a sharp pointed face with a perfectly coiffed short beard, blue eyes and short blonde hair in dark robes, dark gloomy"

And this picture, the original Avery at the Slug Club flashback(my pfp by the way lol):

Next would be Titus Avery´s wife, Tabitha Nott Avery:

For those of you that know ASC shes Theodore Notts half-Aunt, and Thaddeus Nott´s sister.

For her, the only Info I had, was that her brother had dark brown hair and blue eyes so I went with the same for her:

"A 25 year old evil good looking woman called Tabitha Nott with blue eyes, long dark brown hair in a black wizarding dress, dark gloomy"

Next one would be Abraxas Malfoy, Lucius' father, for him I had more information:

"A 25 year old evil good looking man called Malfoy looking like Sebastian Roche with a sharp pointed face, blue eyes, long white-blond hair pulled back and stubble in dark robes, dark gloomy"

Moving on to his wife, and Lucius´ Mother, Isla Rowle Malfoy, for her I also had a prompt:

"A 25 year old evil good looking woman called Isla Rowle looking like Veronica Lake with blue eyes, long blond hair in a black wizarding dress, dark gloomy"

Next would be Tabitha's Brother, Thaddeus Nott, Theodore Nott´s father, or was he??? ;)

For him I had almost nothing as well only that in his older years he had a large belly, so I again took a prompt picture from the original Nott from the Slug Club with Riddle:

The prompt: "A 25year old evil man called Thaddeus Nott with a perfectly coiffed short beard, evil grin, blue eyes and short dark brown hair in dark robes, dark gloomy"

The prompt picture:

Next I have Wendall Selwyn who was three years younger than the rest but was also part of Riddles Gang.

And for Selwyn I again had no information and had no idea what to use as he isn't in the movies, so I did something cause why not, and used this ancient and unflattering picture of myself as a prompt hahaha, and well, it definitely made me a lot better looking lol

Prompt: "A 25 year old evil looking man called Wendall Selwyn in dark robes, dark gloomy"

Next is Linus Lestrange the father of Rabastan and Rodolphus Lestrange, and Bellatrix´s father-in-law:

Again not much Info, so i used the original Lestrange from Riddles Slug Club Meeting:

Prompt:" A 25 year old evil man called Linus Lestrange with a sharp pointed face with a perfectly coiffed short beard, evil grin, blue eyes and short brown hair in dark robes, dark gloomy"

and the picture:

And last his wife Cassia Shafiq Lestrange, no Info again but she had a middle Eastern-sounding name so I gave her dark hair and dark eyes: The prompt:

"A 25 year old evil good looking woman called Cassia Shafiq with dark eyes, long black hair, in a black wizarding dress, dark gloomy"

As always:

I always knew that first arc-centric fics dominated most of Warriors fanfiction, but I was curious to see how much that was really the case. Being the data-driven nerd that I am, I took the top 100 Kudos Warriors fics on AO3, sorted them into different types, and these are the results.

No DotC, TBC, or ASC fics were in the 100 most kudos-ed fics.

I think the most surprising thing to me is how few TNP fics there are in the top fics. I know that TNP isn't the most popular arc, but TONS of iconic characters originate in it, and as the 2nd arc it also has time on its side to gain power with nostalgia for fics (or just rack up the kudos since the longer a fic is on AO3, the more readers/kudos it gets, hence I think most of these fics are biased to be older.)

There are also very few OC fics here (exactly 2) which isn't terribly surprising since almost every fandom favors canon character fics over OC fics, but I maybe expected a bit higher since Warriors in particular is a fandom rich with OCs. I am immensely proud, though, to say that one of those two fics in the top 100 kudos is mine, Cold Bloodlines :)

THE FINAL CHAPTER IS HERE!

Chapter 41 -- The One With the Final Epilogue

Well, this is it!  THE FINAL LAST EPILOGUE AND LAST CHAPTER of my world of Kismet.  It started back in 2018 with some random Marauder snippets that I put aside to write about Sirius and Remus raising Harry which turned from a 25 chapter story idea to 360 chapters of A Second Chance and led me to write a prequel with my original Marauder snippets in The First Time Around.  It ended with Third Times the Charm.

As I always say, I write this story for myself first and this is the final chapter of what I wanted to write and how I wanted to end my world of Kismet.  I’m very excited to share it with you and I hope you’re excited to read it.  I hope those of you who have been reading this story have been enjoying it even half as much as I’ve enjoyed writing it and that you like the ending as much as I do.  And for those of you who don’t, I thank you for reading as long as you have and hope you find a story some day that pleases you more.  There are a lot of amazing writers in the world and I hope someone gives you the ending you want.

As for me I am very proud of my final scene and of this trilogy.  

THANK YOU!

I would like to firstly thank @thedistantdusk, who even though only was my Beta from chapters 200-360 of ASC and for all of The First Time Around, her patience and guidance were greatly appreciated.  Thank you to SilverStarwolfe who was my first Beta from about chapter 120-190 before life got in the way and she had to stop, her patience and guidance was also greatly appreciated.  Thank you to @seriouslysam8 who was an amazing sounding board and helped me work out the kinks in the final idea of Sirius and Zee and helped me come up with the story titles for The First Time Around and Third Times the Charm.  I really appreciate all of the help she gave me and hope one day she might even read it too.  LOL.  Thank you to @ellieoryan7447 for being such an amazing reader who went out of her way to attempt to make character art all about my characters.  It’s surreal to me that people even want to do that and is more appreciated than I can possibly put into words.  And lastly, thank you to @celtics534 for putting up with my random asks about reading over scenes, giving great writing advice, and not being afraid to tell me when something is crap and how to fix it.  You’re more appreciated than you know.  PS — Sorry for bothering the crap out of you with final reviews of this last chapter LOL.

Thank you to everyone who has been reading from the beginning, to those jumped in somewhere in the middle, and to anyone new who stumbled across this world when the final story was ending.  THANK YOU!

Thank you so much to everyone who has taken the time to follow me in this story-writing journey for the last six years.  It means so much to me.

I have no plans of writing anything else in the near future, as I do very much need a break, but who knows what the future will bring.  These epilogues, while being very much a conclusion, still leave lots of holes for me to jump back in if I ever want to (old and next generation).  It leaves the world of Kismet open to me in the future while still showing you that that there was a happily ever after for these characters (which is very much deserved).

Thank you again for all of the continuous support and love I have received.

Please remember to drop a review — I love to read to them.

THANK YOU!

Love always, 😘

thunder spoilers under the cut!!! read at your own risk!!! here are my opinions on the book!!! i wrote this right after reading originally on the 4th and planned 2 post it on the 7th. it's not the 7th exactly where i live but the wiki updated with spoilers since it's the 7th over there so whatever

okay, so, overall, i liked it. i didnt LOVE it, but i liked it. sunbeams chapters were all great, and with nightheart travelling with frostpaw, he finally had the chance to not be an ass, and he wasn't as bad! i actually read his chapters this time, and oh my god frostpaws chapters were INCREDIBLE!!!! i loved her interactions with whistlepaw and smoky, and wow. she did get spayed, LOL! got spoiled for that early (thanks, assholes!) i was NOT expecting to meet the new cats of the park! i totally thought we'd encounter warriorclan! i'm a little bummed about that, but the cats of the park were all super nice to read about which was super nice. especially bee! thought i'm upset she has the same name as another cat.. wails the reveal of splashtail i totally expected, but i'm a little surprised over curlfeather. i know that there's been suspect she was a villain, but damn! i wanted to hold onto hope! but hey, her being evil is super interesting. plus, wow! she's in the dark forest! i guess i shouldve expected that, but it's felt like forever since a cat got sent there. (which i dont think is rlly true? juniperclaw went i think that was tbc? whatever, still feels so long ago) also i didnt mind that it was a travelling book! i know a lot of ppl HATEEEE travelling books, but i think there was still enough substance to make it interesting! now, that ending... er, hard to explain my feelings. i like cliffhangers because they make me really excited for the next book, but man! this one hurt bad! i want frostpaw to jump out !!!! raugh!!! also, waffle and wasp are cute! i'm happy theyre coming to the clans! we NEED more genetic diversity SOBS and honestly, with frostpaws thoughts right before leaving the park, with the clans needing to become less harsh and fighty, and more open, especially to outsiders? that was incredible! genuinely, genuinely incredible! and i hope they go through with it, i really do! berryheart is also an interesting character. if i'm being honest, i hope she leaves. not becaues i dont like her (i think she's one of the most interesting characters we've had in the series for a long time, even if she sucks), but because like i said earlier we NEED more genetic diversity in the clans! more cats with long blood lines need to leave or die, and new cats w/o long blood lines, or none at all need to start existing. all of the incest is pissing me off. so i'm glad that somecat with not a particularly long bloodline, but a big one (berryheart has like 70 siblings) is leaving. plus those other cats. last misc things, finally, some tree action! it's a miracle! i also like how there were mentions of 1: thunderclan being overcrowded (please please please mass exctinction event GO) and 2: tree being mediator, but never really having the chance to shine. also, cherryfall sucks. jeez louise! i used to like her for gods sake! spotfur and her kits were adorable, i liked ivypool in this book, and oh my god, brambleclaw finally gets less of a spotlight! overall, i liked it. not the most amazing book to ever exist ever, but it definitely got my excited for the next books!!! really happy with ASC so far and i'm pumped to see what's going to happen with it in the future.

also, with the cats of the park cats being introduced, i'll have to draw them! oh boy more work for me to do

[cloverpurr]

so! with a starless clan finishing up in november and a new arc on the way after that, what are your guys' predictions for the next arc...

for context, and sorry to burst everyone's bubble, but the next arc will Most Likely not be following any relatives or kin of the asc cast (ive seen people suggest one of frostpaw's siblings or splashtail's younger siblings as possible protags)

from an article on the warrior cats website (under the title "GOAL: TO CONTINUE TO DEVELOP THE NINTH ARC") the authors state that the main character of the ninth arc "will be an old friend whose adventures we’ve been following since the very first WARRIORS arc."

and while that's really all the information we have so far (probably not nearly enough to theorize on, but i dont really care) im just curious to see what ppl think now

especially since theres been an uprising of ppl. well. theorizing what the 9th arc will be and, like i said earlier, questioning what cats from this arc will go on to be protagonists, like frostpaw's siblings or leafkit from windclan or even whistlepaw... i just thoguht id post this to see if anyone's got any ideas or theories or whatever. again theres not much to work on but still! im curious!

there's also another article that states, under the question "Will future books take place in unexplored eras of the series?", "(...)There are still great chunks of time between our DAWN OF THE CLANS prequel/origin series and the beginning of INTO THE WILD that are yet to be explored, and we are certainly excited by the possibility of exploring these times, filling in these gaps. We believe it could be a thrilling new chapter in the WARRIOR CATS mythology. The key consideration for the story team will be the question of whether readers will readily invest in our hypothetical protagonists, being cats to whom they have yet to form an attachment (assuming these stories focus on cats who have never been mentioned before)? [Then again, we had the same concerns about the DAWN OF THE CLANS series!] But as long as the story team remains excited about the possibilities, it will hopefully not be too long before readers get their wish…"

so! pretty good chance the next arc wont be about anyone from asc at all. but honestly i couldnt even tell you who it would be about bc we have no concrete evidence of anything besides where the story takes place...

[runn1ngn0se]

So I was thinking to myself "Man I really like these new clan change trials that ASC introduced, there so much fresher and more interesting than the generic warrior assessments that just consist of catching a bunch of prey" when I realized something...

At first I just told myself that "the warrior assessments are just that way because they came up with that back in Arc 1, and they didn't think at the time that they would be writing 8+ arcs of this", but theres more to it than that.

-In Arc 1: Fireheart got his warrior name after the battle with Brokenstar.

-In Arc 2: Brambleclaw, Stormfur, Feathertail, and Tawnypelt all got their names before the books, and Crowfeather and Squirrelflight got their names during/just after the journey.

-In Arc 3: Hollyleaf and Lionblaze got their names after the big battle in Eclipse.

It wasn't until Arc 4 where Dovewing and Ivypool got their names via traditional assessment in Sign of the Moon.

POVs usually got their warrior names via deeds or feats. The assessments where originally designed to level up side characters, or when they were used for POVs, it was for when they got their names in between time skips. I theorize that is why they are so basic, but now that they are being used more and more for POVs, how basic they are now being exposed where it was once not so prominent.

But to tie it back to start, even if they aren't willing to switch back to the feats system of before, I do think this new system of the trials is a clever workaround to revitalize the "hero has to prove themself" part of the story. Its probably no coincidence that these were introduced in the same arc where 1 of the POVs had their assessment done before the start of the series, and the other at least had the spice of having to retake it multiple times.

[daily-whistlepaw]

No way ur on day 1296

yes way I am

(And I could go on with even more screenshots of my folders, that's a lot of files and probably a good part of the reason my laptop makes more sound than an airplane)

I carefully number them all and yes I have been at it for three years and a half by now. If you scroll down this blog you will see them all day by day.

Daily whistlepaw began early 2021 (january 10th to be exact), but I had been thinking about it since late 2020 and was mostly inspired by daily squirrelflight. I too had a thing I wanted the authors to do and after some careful consideration of if I'd actually be able to do it and not have it be a short stint, I just began.

You will see that my early art is quite different because I grew A LOT while drawing Whistlepaw every single day (with a few misses that I caught up as soon as possible, that's why sometimes you'll see a few drawings posted the same day when I was too tired or swamped with schoolwork the day prior or so). It's been a long project so far and I am spiteful and will not stop any time soon. Daily whis is my silly obligation of the day, the One Thing I know I will do in a day, no matter if it's a detailed piece or the hastiest class doodle. I do not like missing days and will often make a traditional piece on the spot with other people around if my daily quota hasn't been reached and I manage to find even the smallest opportunity.

Honestly a big reason it ever go so big was that I had a lot of time in those early years of daily whis. the schoolwork wasn't as heavy and I was just freestyling this all for funsies and I got attached and it led to three and a half years of daily whistlepaw, some very nonsensical or half batshit ideas/headcanons (gotta use those starphones more), a whole google docs to try and keep things more organized that I began working on a little while ago and should finish, and just a lot of fun. Usually I keep these sappy rants for the big day celebrations, but Whistlepaw has genuinely become a huge part of my life and the one thing I default to doodle whenever I'm bored. Most of my profile pictures and even my phone background are all drawings I did for daily whistlepaw. My friends know that cat as ME; When I draw something for a silly joke of ours, it's Whistlepaw I use and I don't see myself stopping anytime soon.

The Erins have acknowledged my existence (at least in an oblique way) in that article about Whistlepaw they did a little while ago and new material for Whistlepaw is actually being written in the books. Whis is a relatively major part of ASC and Ivypool's Heart, and even then I have my own entire world with this little blue cat. Heck, I began an original little story that's been posted as part of the daily drawings on occasion now and it is just very fun to be doing all of this and that's the main part of this. I enjoy this. I love this actually. Whistlepaw is my silly character, mostly divorced from canon, yes, but what does canon have to offer? I like the Whistlepaw I draw every day, I like drawing every day, I like the years-long effort I've put into this and how much I've grown because of daily whis and how much daily whis has grown with me.

Sometimes it feels like a chore, but that's the rare occasions when I am tired or dealing with a bad case of artblock and daily whis, when pushed a little harder, is often a good part of what drags me out of artblock again, and it is good exercise to draw every day. You only becomes good at something by doing it regularly and the massive improvments I made with my art here are quite good proof of that.

So to finish an answer that truly shouldn't have been this long, but I like talking. Yes way I am at day 1296 and I'm aiming for day 2000 and more!

Better Bones WindClan Family Tree: Draft 1

[ID: The WindClan family tree for Better Bones. It's a color-coded chart of over 122 cats, with all of the cats alive as of the newest arc marked in green, and the 'progenitors' of each line marked in yellow.]

You may also want to see:

The Three Strict Rules

The Canon WindClan Diagnosis (for comparison)

ThunderClan

RiverClan

SkyClan

For the past few days, I've been trying to make ends meet with this tree. WindClan's biggest problem is how very few cats it has in-canon, with the Erins practically forgetting an entire generation between Tallstar's Revenge and TPB. As a result, I had to make this thing nearly from scratch.

The result is before you; there are 122 cats on this chart at the moment! I've used Missing Kits to try and patch the "bald spot" in the timeline, but I admittedly did have to scrounge up a couple cats here. There are still no OCs on this tree, but some unnamed background characters have been given names.

(I am also watching authorial statements like a HAWK in the hopes they will drop more names I can use to pad out some of the single-kit litters, like Appledawn's single kid Adderstone there)

I also have tried to balance the size of this Clan with BB!ThunderClan's count by ASC. There's now a little over 30 cats in this Clan.

Most of these trees have renamings, removals, and a changelog-- this one's going to be a bit different. Below the cut, you will see Renamings, Reserves, and a Changelog.

RENAMINGS: Format: Old Name (Origin) -> New Name (Reason)

Stagleap (WC) -> Stagfur (conflict)

Robinwing (WC) -> Robinflight (conflict)

Gorsetail (Po3) -> Whintail (Serious conflict with a Gorsetail in the very next arc)

Hickorynose -> Chicorynose (ecological accuracy)

Tornear -> Torear (Minor change to prevent him from being born Tornkit)

"Brown Tabby Tom" (Fire and Ice) -> Sparrowspeck (unnamed)

Whitetail's first sibling (OSC) -> Blackfur (unnamed; will update to canon name when revealed)

Whitetail's second sibling (OSC) -> Grayfoot (unnamed; will update to canon name when revealed)

Eaglekit (SSMK) -> Eagleswoop (save)

Storkkit (SSMK) -> Storkfeather (save)

Quailkit (SSMK) -> Quailheart (save)

Downkit (SSMK) -> Downwind (save)

Hillkit (SSMK) -> Hillrunner (save)

Adderkit (Cats of the Clans) -> Adderstone (save)

Galekit (OSC) -> Galerunner (save)

Buzzardkit (Po3) -> Buzzardclaw (save)

Drizzlepaw (SSMK) -> Drizzlefall (save)

Rustlepaw (SSMK) -> Rustlebush* (save) = Suffix might change, I'm not satisfied with it

Cranberrypaw (SSMK) -> Cranberrysplash (save)

Milkfur (FQ) -> Milktooth (conflict)

Snapper (Ravenpaw's Path) -> Snapstorm (MASSIVELY repurposed.)

Brushpaw (OSC) -> Brushblaze (save/repurpose)

Quickpaw (CotC) -> Quickclaw (shuffle)

Thistlepaw (CotC) -> Thistleseed (shuffle)

Pricklekit (CotC) -> Pricklepelt (shuffle)

(SSMK = Su Susann's Missing Kits)

RESERVES: There weren't enough cats for me to even consider cutting any; instead, here are some extra characters from field guides and unnamed in the background who could possibly show up again.

"Tortoiseshell Queen" from Fire and Ice; may just be Quailheart or Storkfeather, if not, her name will be Ruffclaw

"Gray Tom" from Fire and Ice; if named, he will be called Chipstone.

Swiftstar, Dalestar, Thrushbreeze, and Larkstripe's unnamed honor sire are all characters in Ripplestar's Rot, but they're just a bit too far back to be relevant at the moment.

Hareflight (FQ) is from the same time period. If they show up again, their name will be Harefrost.

Whitetail from Tigerclaw's leader ceremony was a WindClan cat in BB; she doesn't show up to his ceremony in this story, but she could appear on the tree at some point. If she does, her name will be Whitetuft.

From Code of the Clans, I am holding onto; Pebblefur, Acorntail, Morningcloud, Cloversplash, and Gorseclaw who would be renamed to Whinclaw.

Several leaders and Clerics could appear if BB ever went further back than Ripplestar's Rot. Swiftfoot, Stonestar, Duststar, Dovestar, Featherstar, Fallowstar, Rabbitstar... plus Mudpuddle, an ancient deputy.

Wanderkit and Muddyclaw from the Adventure Game are from WindClan; but currently not needed

Brightheart's surrogate kittens, Ambermoon, Snowbush, and Dewnose. Some could show up here if needed.

NOTE: If any of these characters show up again in canon, or are confirmed by authorial statement to have a different name, I will abide by that and update accordingly (unless the name is, of course, a conflict).

CHANGELOG: I tell you why I did the things and also point out what's different

Because this Clan was so empty and full of orphan warriors, I was able to completely make it however I wanted.

I also tried to make sure that MODERN WindClan is still VERY clean. Most of canon's "orphan warriors" are totally capable of being mixed with just about anyone else who's around in WindClan.

This is so I can accommodate just about whatever the Erins throw at us... within reason of course. Never doubt the Erin's ability to ruin a family tree.

In BB, Sunstrike and Furzepelt have expanded roles and survive to at least TBC, so I decided they would get Slightfoot. They're the kind of girls who would raise a rebel like him.

Ryestalk has been moved out of the Mist/Hare family. I have more need for her as a clean cat; and a better story to tell of her being afraid of tunneling. Her mother, Leafshine, died in a collapse.

I wanted to find some sort of in-between cat for Pigeonflight and Cranberrysplash, but unfortunately, I ran out of cats. She is probably adopted; found abandoned.

Fernstripe might move around in the future; for now she is a later birth to CranberryxDrizzle. If she moves, it'll probably be to SunxFurze.

Whiskernose is older now because I reworked his purpose in the Dark Forest

Drizzlefall was initially Runningbrook's child. When she dies in TNP, Webfoot raised her alongside his own kid, Rustlebush. They are marked as siblings for that purpose.

Mudclaw and Whitewater of ShadowClan had an unimportant fling during the journey. They both agreed it was an honor siring and would be kept quiet-- but Whitewater became a supporter of his during the rebellion.

When Mudclaw was smote by StarClan, she felt that the kittens were cursed.

She contacted Torear and arranged for him to take his nespring, but the night of the meeting, a snowstorm tore through the Clans. She couldn't take the runt, else he would freeze.

So, she kept Owlclaw of ShadowClan, and Harestar and Kestrelflight went to WindClan.

Brushblaze and Snapstorm are both ex-BloodClan, they did trading with WindClan just after the BloodClan battle, when Tallstar and Firestar opened up peace talks with the defeated Scourge.

Hareheatherbreeze and the Onestar Drama

So of course, one of the bigger changes in BB is that Harestar, Heathertail, and Breezepelt are in a polycule. I did a LOT with this fix in mind.

Onestar is now a single kitten. In Clanmew, his prefix is "Ul-arra," a whole fraction.

This was an expression of grief, as his mother Larksplash died in childbirth, along with his siblings. Cloudrunner was distant, unfortunately never recovering from the ordeal.

Him and Larksplash were quite old to be having a litter, and they knew the risks, but Onestar always felt like Cloudrunner blamed him, in a way.

Eventually, he wanted to raise a child. Whitetail honor dammed for him, and offered open coparentage, but Onestar politely declined. It was known Whitetail was Heathertail's parent, but they weren't very close.

Probably through a shared grievance with Onestar and feelings of responsibility over Heather, Whitetail and Brushblaze became very close. They eventually had two kittens-- Smokekit and Galekit.

Onestar interpreted this as them both trying to tell him they knew about Smoke, slipping further into paranoia towards the end.

Heathertail LOVED the two of them right away.

Unfortunately, Brushblaze laid down his life saving Kin refugees, including Heathertail and Breezepelt, by collapsing an escape tunnel on top of himself.

Galerunner and Smokehaze were only a few months old at the time.

Hareheatherbreeze will be keeping Brindlewing, Appleshine, and Woodsong! Brindlewing was first, with Apple and Wood coming in a second litter.

Tallstar's Family

In Tallstar's Collapse, Talltail leaves WindClan for a long period of time. He wandered with Jake and his family of nomads, eventually finding foundling kittens and deciding to adopt them with him.

But, eventually, he couldn't resist the pull of homesickness, and the desire to try and fix things in WindClan. He tried to leave the family he'd made behind-- but Fly followed him.

Talltail, naively, believed that Fly would remain innocent. That the kid would be above the battle culture of the Clans. He was wrong.

Fly became a ferocious warrior, even competing with him for the deputy position. If Talltail hadn't been quick or keen enough to kill an adder that was going for Heatherstar's grand-nephew, Flytail may have become leader of WindClan.

The kit was named Adderkit for this event, later becoming Adderstone.

Flytail, his mate Eagleswoop, and one of his daughters died in the WindClan Massacre. Talltail had already lost two half-siblings in the war.

What was once a large family was reduced to Tallstar, Stoneclaw, Wrenflight and her children.

Stoneclaw put off having kits for a time, eventually having two one-kit litters with her mate, Snapstorm; Buzzardclaw and Crouchfoot.

ASC THUNDER SPOILERS

i may be stupid but genuinely did not expect that curlfeather was the mastermind of sorts behind reedwhiskers murder. its the first time we see a FEMALE character go to the darkforest. mapleshade was in the past and the only other female dark forest cat is a random cat in the broken code arc. (Tigerstar, Darkstripe and Ashfur were all characters that were alive and active in the series, and while Curlfeather...wasn't that active compared to them its still nice to see women go to hell.)

also...i dont like sunbeam. I was iffy before but she really reads as a bristlefrost clone but with an abusive mother. speaking of berryheart. she was *vile* dovewing had every right to kick her out of SC. she was spewing racist nonsense as if Dovewing and Tawnypelt weren't originally from TC.

anyway to 'fix' sunbeam -> GIVE HER THE JOURNEY ARC. Have her leave to discover herself instead of giving that to Nightheart. Give her FRIENDS (aside from Lightleap) from SC that makes it actually difficult for her to choose between TC and SC. Having her go on the journey with Frostpaw instead of Nightheart would've made SO MUCH MORE SENSE-- the idea that the way the warrior code currently is and the way rules are restricting and can do more damage than good needs to be taught/told to her so she can apply this to herself in switching clans and whatnot.

and ANOTHER THING. i miss lightleap and i know its been a few books but I really wish we did have a SC POV so we can see the TigerDove family spiral/change after Rowankits death.
