START

In the sands, secrets lie.

Five clans, named by the Stars at Deathrocks have taken up residence in a far flung oasis after their lands are ravaged by the wars of humans.

At the reccomendation of their starry patron they have lived on the land for 100 moons, and are only just returning to solidify a Code by which they will live by.

Locustclan, Beetleclan, Aphidclan, Hornetclan and Mantisclan meet at Deathrocks for the first time in generations - and begin a new era!

--------

Welcome to Buried In Sand! This is my clangen blog, inspired by the fact i keep deleting and restarting my clans so i decided to start a blog to keep myself entertained.

I'm just sort of figuring stuff out as I go, so expect artstyle changes and formatting experiments as I go. I dont always follow sprite designs. I go on the Vibes of the cat moreso than their canon appearance.

Feel free to send asks!

The Treatment of LGBTQIA+ in the Clans

TW: Homophobia & Transphobia; Torture; Religious Abuse

(These are not the views of the author, I stand by any and all LGBTQIA+ folks, you are loved <3)

This is just gives a bit of background as to a big reason why Yelloweyes and Velvetdream left the clan with Warmstar.

Origins

According to legend, in Paradise's teachings, he referred to same-sex relationships and identifying outside the sex you were born with as sinful. However, this isn't written in any of his Teachings of the World (old symbols Paradise inscribed onto two deer antlers) and he never mentions LGBTQIA+ cats.

What most likely happened is that an old ButterflyClan leader needed a reason to inspire his clan to take up the fight against a large rogue group that outnumbered them. Noting that the rogue group had a large number of LGBTQIA+ cats, he stated that Paradise declared it a sin, causing the clan to become incentivized to defeat them.

ButterflyClan

ButterflyClan is out of all the clans, the most dangerous clan for LGBTQIA+ cats. They are vehement that Paradise truly did say that all LGBTQIA+ were a sin and that one can choose to be attracted to the "right" gender and that transgender/nonbinary cats are simply "confused" (ButterflyClan has a large number of closeted bisexuals & trans cats). Aro-Ace spec cats are in a grey area because while they aren't breaking the rules, they technically aren't following them either and are shunned.

ButterflyClan hosts a "Conversion Camp", a camp not too far from the actual camp where any cat above the age of 6 moons is sent if they are suspected of being LGBTQIA+. The camp is lead by a specialized group of healers who unlike most healers, are trained in fighting. Residents of the camp are not allowed to leave until it has been proven that they are "fixed". While ButterflyClan claims that the camps are completely ethical, there are a substantial amount of reports that residents are starved and beaten daily. Velvetdream and Yelloweyes were forced to attend this camp (Warmstar was semi-shunned and Eveningbriar & Cavepool believed they were straight).

BeeClan

BeeClan is less extreme than ButterflyClan, but nonetheless hostile. Most LGBTQIA+ are shunned and disowned by their families (a fate worse than death in BeeClan). They do not directly call ButterflyClan's practices unethical, preferring to stay silent.

BeetleClan

BeetleClan has slowly become more progressive in views, with the clan now welcoming their first openly gay leader, Vulturestar. While LGBTQIA+ cats may be avoided by the more religious members of the clan, it is distasteful to be outwardly hateful. BeetleClan despises ButterflyClan's practices and vice-versa.

AntClan & WaspClan

Both clans are very LGBTQIA+ and often accept LGBTQIA+ kittypets & loners who want to try out clan life, and shunned LGBTQIA+ from BeeClan. WaspClan has also recently accepted a transgender ButterflyClan refugee from ButterflyClan, Woollytail...

moon 0 - prologue

[wacastarofthenight]

it’s crookedpaw! she’s the beetlclan medicine cat apprentice. she’s very enthusiastic to learn the ways of a medicine cat and is fascinated with the stars in silverpelt and the prospect that one day starclan will communicate with her too like they do with batear and the other medicine cats. she’s very friendly and cares about her clan very deeply. the whole reason she wished to become a medicine cat in the first place, besides her fascination with her warrior ancestors, was to keep her clan happy and healthy. she admires batear a great deal and thinks he’s super cool and talented. she doesn’t mind if she has to work in silence if it means she can work alongside him. she loves the attention that ivyheart and thistlejaw give her during the medicine cat meetings as the youngest at the meetings, snowpaw, the other medicine cat in the territories, is a few moons older than her.

They have older siblings, Pinefrost, Frostheart, and Berryshine. Berryshine choosing to live with their father in Beetleclan. This tore Icekit apart and she struggled to build a relationship with her older sister and father. Icekit eventually was apprenticed to Vinewhisker, who encouraged her to open herself up to her clan. Icepaw grew to hold a grudge against Beetleclan and became loyal to Thornclan. She earned her warrior name Iceshine and became a mentor to Flickerpaw. After a flood in which the former deputy, Wheatfur, died. Iceshine was named deputy of Thornclan. In the same flood, her younger brother, Stormkit, died.

Backstory: Raised for a while outside of clan territory, Pinekit was born alongside Frostkit and Berrykit. Their parents, Freezeclaw and Smoketail, where exiled from the clans because of an ongoing war between Thornclan and Beetleclan. After both Pinekit and Frostkit became deathly ill, Freezeclaw and Smoketail where forced to travel back to Thornclan for help. Creekstar accepted the kits and Freezeclaw but kicked Smoketail out. Elkstar, from Beetleclan, came into the camp and demanded a kit. Creekstar allowed Elkstar to take Berrykit. Torn between his family and his clan, Smoketail attempted to return Berrykit back to Freezeclaw and join Thornclan, but was turned away. Growing up in Thornclan was hard for Pinekit. Looked down on by most warriors he always was trying to prove himself. Mentored by Wheatfur, Pinepaw got into many fights and battles, growing to become respected. While his brother, Frostpaw never really cared about his heritage. After Freezeclaw had another litter of kits, Pinepaw was given his warrior name of Pinefrost. He mentored Palepaw and was thrilled when his younger sisters became warriors. After a flood, in which his younger brother, Stormkit, and Wheatfur died. Freezeclaw left Thornclan to be with Smoketail. Understanding his mother's reasons, he never grew apart from her. But when his brother, Frostheart, had to go on a personal quest and leave the clan. Pinefrost grew bitter towards him. Only when he returned did Pinefrost forgive his brother. When a rouge attacked the clans and killed Creekstar and Pinefrost's parents.

He asked to be apprenticed to one of them, in which Creekstar agreed. Mudfish became his mentor and he grew fond of the off putting she-cat. He defended her and always made excuses for her snappy demenor. After Honeyheart passed from old age, Mudfish named Heartpaw a full medicine cat. He was given the name Heartcloud and has become very talented in speaking with Starclan. Although he is young, he is very well respected among the clans.

Mudfish ->

Mudfish - Dark brown she-cat with scars along her flank and yellow eyes

She asked to be a medicine cat apprentice and was approved. Although she kept her snappy and rude behavior. Still helping in battles and fights, she was critized for acting both like a warrior and a medicine cat. She finally choose to solely become a medicine cat and was given the name, Mudfish. She had two kits, Beartooth and Twistedtree. But their father left to become a kittypet after their birth. Mudfish still is respected and mainly feared throughout the clans.

They grew up to be warriors together and was given the names Spiderclaw and Palefoot. They had a litter of kits, Sweetkit and Featherkit. Although Featherkit passed away from green cough. Spiderclaw never really got over her death.
