I wonder how much you could do with the fact that Nightcloud was a former coup member and ended up having kits with Onestar's nephew and what kind of drama that could've caused if she were even half the character people made her out to be

canon Nightcloud is a fascinating and infuriating case study on how a she-cat in this series can canonically do nothing, be absolutely blameless, and then still be blamed by both the books and the readers. (Yes, even with CT, let's not forget that OOTS & the field guides peddled that Nightcloud was responsible for Breezepelt's actions for a good while).

So I can't even imagine the shit storm of discourse that would have happened if Nightcloud was anywhere near what people remember her as. A feisty, short-tempered she-cat who loves those close to her fiercely and will fight for them without a second thought? Mwah, where is she. I'd honestly love to know more about her and why she supported Mudclaw, books make her lean more into Clan tradition with further arcs (most notably in OOTS, where I must emphasize, that is where Crowfeather blames her and the reader is meant to agree with him. It feels very intentional they made her more aggressive and xenophobic to supplement his words). I also just like "my son can do no wrong" fanon version of Nightcloud, characters like that are funny to me.

need to be rich not because i want a stable life but so i can commission my dream piece of five anthro royal portrait style pieces of art of the owlstar family from hht like owlstar, beesnap, and dusksong -> the three but with young frostpaw and honeypaw -> an unfinished sketch of honeypaw and frostpaw as young teens, unfinished due to honeypaw's sudden death -> portrait of owlstar and frostblaze, now a young adult and in line for the throne -> royal portrait of froststar, baring new scars and a sombre expression

each piece would be credited under in-universe names for each artist who drew them

[the-owl-tree]

i've been iffy on my isekai story for a bit and kind of want to redo it all over again so i guess a handful of ideas that may or may not stay:

the big angel cat is nicknamed "archangel" for the sake of scripting simplicity. they were going to be one of the bigger bads that tried to preserve cosmic order (and also ate failed guides)

frost was a real estate agent who got pushed off a bridge

splash was a nurse and i went back and forth on her death. my original concept for her death seemed a bit dark for such a silly project

maggie was a child who died in a housefire. she remembers very little about being human and she's the one who becomes the most radically altered

at some point beesnap comes to the conclusion there's something wrong with her daughter and flat out lures into a trap to try to kill her (i scripted this one!)

frostblaze and honeypaw actually talk shit out with frostblaze coming to the conclusion she can't forgive her sister (which would be a change from the source material, where frostblaze forgives her late sister because she never processed she didn't actually deserve her treatment)

there's eventually a realization honeypaw can forcibly take back her body, very briefly, before the injuries of their death will come back. she would do this during what's meant to be honey's death after finding out that owlstar was planning on quietly asking beesnap and her to leave wolfclan after frostblaze was named warrior and therefore a suitable heir to being deputy. this one i'm iffy on still.

uyuhhh yeagh

[the-owl-tree]

batch 1 of background characters from wolfclan!

more info on each of them under the cut:

Gullscreech is an outspoken and short-tempered tom cat. He's aggressive towards outsiders and touts WolfClan as the superior cat group in their forest. His attitude, which is written as a display of his "loyalty" to his Clan, becomes a major source of antagonism towards Honeypaw and Beesnap - cats he views as blights on the Clan. His main inspirations are Gullswoop, Mousefur, and Thornclaw.

Hornettail is a slimy weasel of a cat. He's got the moral backbone of an eclair and tends to slink after anyone he thinks will help him stay on top. He's quick to switch to the side of whoever he believes has the cards in a situation and often tries to play lackey sidekick to stay on their good side. His biggest inspiration is Darkstripe, but he's also a play on cats who will say one thing and then switch to another in books.

Loonsnarl is WolfClan's medic and the uncle of Owlstar and the grand uncle of both Honeypaw and Frostblaze. He is a short-tempered and snappy cat who believes firmly in letting fate run its course. He will carry out the wishes of StarClan without question and insists on others doing the same. His main inspirations are Goosefeather, Yellowfang, and StarClan!Spottedleaf.

Honey's Horrible No Good Time in Warriors - A Masterlist

-(Previously named wc isekai au, now just HHT/Honey's Horrible Time for short)

Last Updated: 2023-09-07

Honey's Horrible Time is a warrior cats inspired story inspired by the isekai genre: stories in which someone dies and is reincarnated into another world. This post is to help wrangle all my posts as tumblr tags are rather inconsistent in trying to manage everything.

The story revolves around the death of a human after being hit by a car and is reincarnated into a fake Warriors arc. She is sent into the body of Honeypaw, the half-sister and bully of the arc's protagonist, Frostblaze. With the spirit of Honeypaw and a strange "Guide" from StarClan accompanying her, the former human-turned-cat, who names her Honey, must figure out how to navigate this new world...and survive her impending death.

Some key information:

Not all information will be explicitly told. Some of it will be told through puzzles or can be extrapolated through other information.

This is a work in progress! Plot points are subject to change and the story is still being developed.

There won't be any official comic or story written. I'll do mini comics and maybe some short stories but there are no plans to make it an official thang as of now.

Beesnap and Honeypaw's Post-Death Relationship (Text Post)

[the-owl-tree]

For your isekai story, does Owlstar give Frostblaze preferential treatment because she looks like him whereas Honeypaw took after her mother? I feel like mans is a bit vain. What is his relationship with Beesnap if any?

I have devoured all your content for this story its very fun!!

Aaahh I'm so glad you like it!! i'm having a blast working out details in my spare time, i think i'm finally nailing down the Clans (i think i'm gonna go with animal based names just because fe3h/got inspo) :3

Frostblaze is actually one of Owlstar's bio daughters! They live in a Clan where kins take priority in leadership (their Clan functions more akin to a kingdom) and Owlstar wanted to keep his options open in children. This resulted in him siring a child with the only available queen at the time, Dusksong, and taking in Bee, a wily rogue who had been wanting to join for a while under the conditions she'd carry for him. His relationship with Bee, who was renamed Beesnap upon joining, is purely for their own benefit: Beesnap wanted in the Clan, Owlstar wanted heirs (should add it was one of the many ways she could "earn" a spot in the Clan, she agreed to be a surrogate). They're not fond of one another and with the way Owlstar ignores Honeypaw afterwards, she's especially not pleased with his fatherhood skills (she became very fond of her itty bitty baby who looked just like her mama in thosefirst few months, she is very much still Honeypaw's mother regardless of her relationship with Owlstar).

Fuzzy on the details, but i'm thinking the original plan was to keep him being the father a secret until Warriorhood to quietly assess them for leadership potential. Beesnap let it leak and Honeypaw, unaware of her sibling, assumed she'd be a shoe in for the position. Quietly, Owlstar took interest in his other heir instead as, in the book, she showed more "leadership potential" than her half-sister. He definitely shows more bias to Frost since she looks like him, that definitely plays a part.It's a very messy affair and has a few issues but it's what I got for now! Hoping to flesh out the Clans of this universe more!

[the-owl-tree]

okay, sorry but i think i have found my fave from ur isekai au and i have to know: does beesnap immediately take one look at honey and go "who are you and what the fuck did you do to my daughter?" or does the relief of having who she believes is "honeypaw" cloud her judgement for a bit?

i am so glad you like beesnap because she has been my favorite to conceptualize >:3c mean mother enjoyers rise up

At the beginning they think it's shock and trauma. Like, they thought Honeypaw was dead dead, her body was being dragged by the elders for burial before she suddenly started spasming and woke up. For the next while, both Beesnap and Owlstar attribute it to the shock of temporarily being dead. At first they expect the behavior to go away and Beesnap tries to support her daughter (and tell everyone gossiping about the behavior to shut the fuck up and mind their own business) but eventually the signs do start to point that something's wrong...and Beesnap does suspect that there is something else going on. Honeypaw doesn't laugh at the jokes she used to and keeps?? standing on two legs to walk??? (to which she quietly hisses for her to fucking stop that everyone is staring)

She eventually does put the pieces together and is furious that something would ever take her daughter's body. I'd imagine she'd be torn into wanting to beat the shit out of this goddamn imposter versus never ever wanting to lay a paw on her only child. So a mix of both?

[the-owl-tree]

my favorite part of conceptualizing Beesnap and Honeypaw is that both of them love the illusion that Honeypaw's death brings. Beesnap can always imagine her daughter, the one who never challenged her, who lived to make her happy, and who would've been something great had she survived and Honeypaw would see her mother's anger, her rage, the way she lashes out at everyone and uses love to disguise it. her mother's anger is love, and because she died, she never has to confront the truth behind it.

Frostblaze’s Destiny - Summaries + Key Events for the Arc

Fake summaries of the six book arc that Honey is reincarnated into. These are all subject to change and are just mean to help give me and others a rough understanding of what’s going on in the actual books.

(Book One) The Awakening - Frostkit is born into WolfClan where she must work hard to prove herself as a potential leader for her beloved Clan. However, she must first face threats outside of her Clan…and within.

Key Events

Frostpaw and Honeypaw’s rivalry is introduced. Honeypaw is set up as a minor antagonist, playing the role as her main tormentor in the Clan.

Establish the younger cast of WolfClan as well as the leadership system.

Foreshadows the ‘rogues’ presence.

Begins Frostpaw’s vague dreams.

Set up of Owlstar’s preferential treatment of Frost

Ends with the camp being attacked and Frostpaw defending the nursery, earning her warrior name at the end. Harefoot is killed in this battle.

(Book Two) Shattered Dreams - Frostblaze has moved onto a new challenge: navigating being made a freshly made warrior. However, WolfClan faces a new threat as HawkClan begins to move in for new territory, forcing Frostblaze to question her new friendship.

Introduces the older cast of the Clan.

Eaglepaw and Frostblaze strike up a friendship at a gathering.

Honeypaw begins to play a more actively antagonistic role in front of other cats and loses the respect of her clanmates and friends.

Sheeppaw and Elkpaw begin to distance themselves from her.

Dawnstep’s relationship with a SturgeonClan cat is hinted at.

More foreshadowing of ‘rogues’.

Honeypaw overhears something she shouldn’t.

The book ends with a vicious battle between WolfClan and HawkClan. Honeypaw uses it as a chance to isolate Frostblaze and attempt to kill her, nearly succeeding before Eaglepaw intervenes and both him and Frostblaze work to drive off Honeypaw. She is eventually killed by Eaglepaw after refusing to retreat.

(Book Three) Lingering Shadows - Suspicion is cast onto Frostblaze after Honeypaw’s death, Beesnap at the helm of it all. However, Frostblaze begins to realize there’s more to the Clans than it seems and seeks to uncover the dark truth that’s been hidden.

Beesnap begins taking on a more antagonistic role, now more threatening to Frostblaze.

HawkClan is now an antagonistic group to WolfClan. Many border spats between the two.

Elkpaw and Sheeppaw are named warriors: Elkrunner and Sheeptail. They begin to warm up to Frostblaze and begin courting each other.

Eaglepaw is named Eagleheart, he and Frostblaze are still meeting each other from time to time. They meet at an abandoned cabin and its overgrown garden.

Antpaw is apprenticed to Frostblaze and is presented as a bit of a nervous but kindly apprentice.

Frostblaze begins questioning her role as a future leader and even as a member of WolfClan.

She also begins having dreams of a past where four Clans once existed and starts going to other Clan’s territories to follow the clues her dreams have left her.

She begins to wonder if she should leave entirely.

WolfClan is attacked while she is gone looking for clues and Frostblaze is berated for being absent. In the night, she decides to leave her Clan to find the truth…and wonders if she should even return.

(Book Four) The Forgotten Clan - Frostblaze has journeyed out beyond the Clan’s lush forests. However, she is not alone. With both allies and enemies lurking about, Frostblaze must decide where her loyalties truly lie.

A travel book lol

Antpaw has followed Frostblaze and in turn, Eagleheart, Sheeptail, and Elkrunner followed him. The group tries to convince Frostblaze to come back to no avail and eventually decide to go with her.

She explains her dreams and all the clues she’s found alluding to a secret fourth clan that’s been erased from Clan history.

They eventually track the clues down to a tunnel system with signs of life. Eventually they find the source of the ‘rogues’: a Clan that thrives underground and has dubbed themselves MaggotClan after the creatures that thrive in death.

Frostblaze meets their leader, Maggotstar, a terrifying furless cat who carried a bear tooth as a weapon. She tries to learn more but finds the MaggotClan cats are angry, and grow even more hostile when they realize who they are.

They narrowly escape with their lives, hurrying back to their own territory where it’s revealed Beesnap has been feeding them information about when the camp is most vulnerable.

They return to WolfClan where HawkClan is attacking, only for MaggotClan to attack as well.

Batears is killed in the battle and Antpaw is named a warrior for his loyalty, now dubbed Antbite.

Seeing Frostblaze’s skills in battle, Owlstar names her the new deputy.

Eagleheart, disgusted at his Clan’s violence, chooses to join Frostblaze’s Clan.

(Book Five) Shattered Alliances - Frostblaze is now grappling with the truth of the Clans and Clanmates she thought she could trust. Now managing her new responsibilities as deputy and budding feelings with Eagleheart, she must try to convince the Clans to work together against this new threat.

Owlstar reveals that MaggotClan used to be called MoleClan. They were known for their exceptional digging ability. However, a horrible storm caused their territory and camp to flood. The other Clans refused to help and they were cast away, their existence now being a secret only Medics and Leaders were privy to.

Frostblaze is furious at this revelation and refuses to speak to her father.

Throughout the book, she faces challenges from her Clanmates to prove herself as a deputy despite her age.

Eagleheart begins pressuring Frostblaze into becoming mates with him.

Beesnap’s betrayal is revealed and she is exiled, having acted out of revenge for her killed daughter. The book would note how unsympathetic Owlstar is to her.

This one needs more meat to it otherwise. A bit more brainstorming needed to build up to the final book.

It ends with another fight with HawkClan where Owlstar gives up one of his lives for Frostblaze and she realizes that he is still her Good and Noble father.

Eagleheart gets his Clanmates to drive out their old leader and MaggotClan reveals themselves to the Clan.

(Book Six) Frostblaze’s Destiny - All enemies are out of the shadows and Frostblaze must take on a greater role than she could have ever imagined. With her friends and family by her side, she must finally confront the festering rot within the Clans…or be lost to it forever.

The big finale, let’s rattle it off!

The Clans are divided but eventually work together because they all believe in God StarClan.

Eagleheart and Frostblaze become mates, her chapters would be resigned and sad despite how the narrative presents it as a good thing.

Few more deaths sprinkled in. Beesnap is notably killed by Owlstar in their confrontation, screaming about how he killed their daughter and how she knows what his plans were for them. Owlstar kills her before the reader can understand what she’s saying.

There’s a BIG first skirmish between all four Clans in the middle of the book and Frostblaze is nearly killed. Owlstar dragged her to the moon-whatever I decide is this world’s starclan thing - and gives up his lives for her. It’s his big sacrifice.

She becomes leader, names Eagleheart her deputy, and rallies the Clans to fight. She loses a life against Maggotstar but using the power of StarClan, beats her and helps the Clan emerge victorious.

Cue nine other arcs revolving around her protagonist babies and grandbabies

Problems so far with this structure:

SturgeonClan plays a very limited role. More minor plot lines to flesh them out.

While intended to be Frost focused, more work can be done to flesh out background characters.

Owlstar needs to be workshopped more.

Some of the plot points riff on canon material too much. Need to be adjusted to avoid being a TPB retelling.

And probably more on a reread but for now! Here’s the barebones skeleton structure!

[the-owl-tree]

wolfclan ref are gonna take forever so i figured i’d post the text version of the alliance sheet i had worked on! the specific notes on each character will be kept secret for now :3c i figure giving the basic description/inspo for each is fine!

[the-owl-tree]

Now that you’ve opened the floodgates I’m going to hit you with so many questions about the Isekai Au.

Does Beesnap ever come to terms with Honeypaw’s body being snatched? Or tell Honey about it? Imagining Honey being like a translator where they repeat what each party says to eachother but instead of translating a language they just tell Beesnap what Honey’s ghost is saying.

-🐝 Anon (If you don’t have one of those)

Heheheee these are great thank you!!!!

I don’t think it’s ever going to sit right for her. She’s lost her daughter to something else and misses her dearly. The only comfort she really has is that Honey, as you’ve said, does very much try and be the bridge between them. A big part of Honeypaw’s story in this is learning just how loved she is and to stop trying to chase praise where she’s not going to get it.

Beesnap, after she stops strangling this imposter in her daughter’s body (like mother like daughter lol), does eventually come around to being of help. Honey wants to go home after all and Bee wants a way to get her daughter back, there’s no reason they can’t work together in that regard.

[the-owl-tree]

been thinking things over and i think i'm gonna scrap Honeypaw and Frostblaze "twist" of being half-sisters and just have them know right off the bat. The original idea was that was gonna be the reveal to push Honeypaw over into murder territory but there's really no reason she or Beesnap wouldn't suspect something with how similar they look. Much more fun to have the "snap" be from a long long boiling pot of barely contained anger.

[the-owl-tree]

fun facts about background cats in the isekei au?

Yippee, thank you for this ask!!! Love talking about these guys >:3c

Batears (She/He/They; Bisexual, leaning towards transfemme)

Doesn’t want kids. I’d initially planned for her to be infertile because, and I can’t remember the details of why, I wanted her to be a red herring in the book the story takes place of her being Frost’s kin (do not ask me to elaborate, I never wrote it down and I still don’t understand what I was thinking).

I’m wavering on the infertile thing for now. I’d rather treat it as just an aspect of her than some grand tragedy but I’d need to do more research.

Both her and Owl were pitted against each other throughout their lives to compete for the role of deputy. She ended up “falling behind” after the death of their father, she was much closer to him and the grief ended up forcing her to take some time to recover.

Big ass ears, her hearing is SHARP.

Her and Frostblaze have a solid mentor-apprentice bond. She’s straightforward and blunt.

The book they come from doesn’t give her much dialogue or appearances (hence her being inspired by the overshadowed sisters in Warriors), and she’s a bit of a wild card to Honey and the gang. She legit doesn’t know what to expect from her.

Loonsnarl (He/It - sexuality and gender undecided but SOMETHING is going on, maybe just apathy?)

Heavily inspired by Goosefeather, I feel that’s obvious lol

I wanted to take the “these events are doomed to happen” to the extreme with this guy. He is very much “this must happen and if it doesn’t, I will make it happen”.

He does everything with confidence, he says things with confidence, he acts as if everything will come to fruition. There is no room for wavering in the future, the path is decided and they must follow it through.

Splashpaw initially adopted this mentality after her first trip to the Mooncave…until something changed in her. Loonsnarl doesn’t always get along with his apprentice.

Hornettail (He/Him - Cishet

His main inspiration is Darkstripe and characters that will literally switch from being open minded to being wildly xenophobic from book to book.

The actual book they come from has it that it’s just bad writing. When Honey meets him, he’s just someone who will cling to whoever has the most power in the situation

The moment the pendulum swings out of his favor, he’s chasing after it no matter how pathetic he looks

Dawnstep (She/He - Lesbian)

Funny gal with a sick beard

Big bard energy, she loves singing and teaches the apprentice the best war songs (Honey finds the melodies catchy but the lyrics uh…gruesome)

In a butch4butch relationship with a SturgeonClan cat named Troutshine. (Side note, I think it would be funny if the territory was an ecological mess. Animals of all kinds just thrown in without care lol)

Fanon Lionheart is a big inspo for him

Sheeppaw and Elkpaw (she/her and he/him respectively, nothing decided yet but I like Elkpaw being transmasc)

Honeypaw’s lackies. She promised power and prestige when she ascended to leader and, as the more physically powerful sister, it was expected she’d be able to deliver on her word.

The two are insecure kids who were friends in the nursery, while it doesn’t excuse their bullying at all, they’re hardly evil masterminds.

In the book, they get a redemption arc and apologize to Frostblaze. In this story, I imagine it happens a lot faster when Honeypaw starts acting weird and avoiding them.

Childhood friends to lovers, I think it’s cute :)

Hollystream (she/her)

Duskflower’s sister, she was the one to step in and help raise Frostblaze when she died.

Her death still hurts her, the two were twins and very close.

While Beesnap definitely pushed for her daughter to see Frost as a rival and not a sister, Holly did the same. She also pushed Frost to go for the crown and in doing so, the two queens ending up destroying the potential friendship the sisters might’ve had.

Holly is quiet, subdued. However, she loves her goofy mate Mousesneeze and their antics, being with them has helped her recover in many ways.

I’ll probably make another edition in a bit but these are sort of the handful of cats I’ve got some concrete plans for. The latter half of the warriors in WolfClan need some fleshing out since admittedly some of them are just to pad out the Clan.

Thank you for the ask!!!!

[the-owl-tree]

(time to babble about my kitties) one thing i struggle with is i sometimes sacrifice story and character for the sake of indulgence but the thought of beesnap and lynxstrike being an off and on thing does delight me. she would absolutely invest in her daughter’s education and try to tag along meanwhile lynx would NOT want to be caught up in the mess that is leadership drama but also can’t deny that beesnap is good company…even if she does backseat mentor

i’m always forgetting i can just like. talk about my oc’s without being prompted or having to connect it to something else. life could be a dream
