The Genetic Journey of Two Sisters: an Analysis of ThunderClan’s Gene Pool

Flashnose and Daisytoe made their debut in Goosefeather’s Curse, and are revealed to be sisters born to unknown parents. Although these sisters fade into the rest of ThunderClan’s old history, their genetics encompass the entirety of ThunderClan, bleeding into two other Clans. Here is an analysis of their profound genetic impact, starting with Flashnose. (Cats who’s names are red have kits)

Flashnose + unknown tom have a single daughter together: Swiftbreeze. Later in life, Swiftbreeze and Adderfang have five children: Leopardfoot, Patchpelt, Redtail, Spottedleaf, and Willowpelt. Leopardfoot and Pinestar have Tigerstar, Mistkit, and Nightkit. Patchpelt and Goldenflower have Swiftpaw & Lynxkit, while with Robinwing, he has Longtail. Willowpelt, with unknown toms, have Darkstripe & Graystripe. With Whitestorm, she has Sorreltail, Rainwhisker, and Sootfur.

→ Tigerstar and Goldenflower have Brambleclaw and Tawnypelt, and with Sasha, Tadpole, Hawkfrost and Mothwing. Brambleclaw and Squirrelflight have Sparkpelt, Alderheart, Dandelionkit, and Juniperkit. Sparkpelt and Larksong have Nightheart, Finchlight, and Flickerkit. Tawnypelt and Rowanclaw have Tigerstar II, Dawnpelt, and Flametail. Tigerstar II and Dovewing have Lightleap, Shadowsight, Pouncestep, Birchpaw, and Rowankit, while Dawnpelt and Crowfrost have Strikestone, Sleekwhisker, and Juniperclaw.

→ Graystripe and Silverstream have Feathertail and Stormfur, and with Millie, he also fathers Briarlight, Blossomfall, and Bumblestripe. Stormfur and Brook have Pine that Clings to Rock, Lark that Sings at Dawn, Feather of Flying Hawk, and Breeze that Rustles the Leaves. Blossomfall and Thornclaw have Stemleaf, Shellfur, Plumstone, and Eaglewing. Stemleaf and Spotfur have Stempaw, Graypaw, and Bristlepaw.

→ Sorreltail and Brackenfur have Cinderheart, Poppyfrost, Honeyfern, Molepaw, Lilyheart, and Seedpaw. Cinderheart and Lionblaze have Fernsong, Sorrelstripe, Hollytuft, Spotfur, Snaptooth, and Flywhisker. Fernsong and Ivypool have Thriftear, Flipclaw, and Bristlefrost. Sorrelstripe and Dewnose have Bayshine and Myrtlebloom. Spotfur, as previously mentioned has Stempaw, Graypaw, and Bristlepaw with Stemleaf. Thriftear and Bayshine have Moonpaw.

→ Poppyfrost and Berrynose have Cherryfall and Molewhisker.

→ Lilyheart and Snowbush have Larksong, Honeyfur, and Leafshade. As previously mentioned, Larksong and Sparkpelt have Nightheart, Finchlight, and Flickerkit.

This wraps up Flashnose’s genetic line, moving us into Daisytoe’s genetic line.

Daisytoe and Rooktail had Moonflower and Goosefeather. Moonflower and Stormtail had Bluestar and Snowfur. Bluestar and Oakheart had Mistystar, Stonefur, and Mosskit. Mistystar and Blackclaw had Reedwhisker, Primrosepaw, Pikepaw, and Perchkit. Snowfur and Thistleclaw had Whitestorm. Whitestorm and Brindleface had Ferncloud, Ashfur, Elderkit, and Tulipkit. With Willowpelt, he also had Sorreltail, Rainwhisker, and Sootfur. Ferncloud and Dustpelt had Spiderleg, Shrewpaw, Birchfall, Larchkit, Hollykit, Foxleap, and Icecloud. Spiderleg and Daisy had Toadstep and Rosepetal. Birchfall and Whitewing had Dovewing and Ivypool, who’s mates & kits were previously mentioned.

Although Daisytoe and Flashnose’s bloodlines began separately, they converge at certain points (i.e. Whitestorm x Willowpelt, Tigerstar II x Dovewing) to form an extensive genetic pool that is responsible for 30/46= 65% of the current ThunderClan population (as of Wind) & 6/30= 20% of the current ShadowClan population. Holy shit.

I’d add Robinwing x Fuzzypelt as an honorable mention, but given the fact that their son (Dustpelt) and their granddaughter (Ferncloud) have kits, their line merges with Daisytoe’s since her great-grandson is Whitestorm, who’s also Ferncloud’s father. Alternatively, we could focus on Frostfur, but since both of her sons took mates from Flashnose’s genetic line, their entire family line is one with Daisytoe & Flashnose’s.

Times like this make me feel very fortunate that certain information was retconned. If the fact that Redtail & Brindleface had Sandstorm remained canon, this would make Squirrelstar, Leafpool, Lionblaze, Jayfeather, and Hollyleaf all related to Flashnose. Which raises that ThunderClan percentage from 65% to 76%. This would also make Lionblaze and Cinderheart related.

Seeing how much ThunderClan grew from these pair of sisters is always a “wow” moment for me. Their spirits have likely faded from StarClan’s ranks, but I can’t help but wonder if they ever looked down on their descendants and felt proud of how big their families have grown.

I’ve never seen the exact percentages before that’s absolutely wild. It’s insane how these one off characters that no fan would really remember otherwise, let alone remember they are sisters, have ultimately become the root of most of the current ThunderClan incest problems.

[mud-castle]

I forgot about the kittypet Sandstorm stuff! I think that could be a fun AU, definitely :D

I don't know much about it at all, but I certainly wasn't expecting Fireheart to be related to Tigerclaw. Given Tigerclaw and Rusty's dynamic in canon, I suppose that'll definitely make for some drama between the two.

I wonder how relationships will be this time around, as well. Is it going to be a SandstormxFireheart? Or how about Fireheart's other relationships in general, since he isn't just swapping roles with Sandstorm - he's the oldest (assuming) son of the most well-respected cat in the clan. Is he Goldenflower's child? Realistcally, probably not since Goldenflower had Swiftpaw before getting with Tigerclaw at all, but speaking of Swift, I imagine Fires relationship with him/his other siblings will probably be a Whitestorm/Graystripe thing. Although hopefully closer, but I imagine that depends on how much Fires actually follows in his father's evil pawsteps or whatever.

I have a soft-spot for "aged-up Fireheart" AUs, so hopefully he is cool, and hopefully Sandstorm will give him a hard time because I can imagine Fires as this really good fighter that likes to look cool but also is kind of a huge dork and she relishes in the fact he's not "perfect" like daddy is.

It will probably be more Sandstorm & Fireheart rather than Sandstorm x Fireheart.

He is Tigerclaw's eldest kid and Goldenflower is not his mom, so him and Swiftpaw are more step-siblings. His mom is unknown by anyone in the clan except Tigerclaw. She was might be a kittypet. Don't speculate on that while Tiger is around.

I could write a whole nother post about him and Tigerclaw's relationship. But to put it in a nutshell, Tiger's hard on him for a multitude of reasons. The conscious part of it is Fireheart's other half of parentage, the subconscious part is his resemblance to Pinestar.

As for his relationship with Tigerclaw, well... It wasn't bad, at first, Fireheart thinks. Tigerclaw is hard on him, but he's not cruel. Affection tends to be more of a reward than a given. But Tigerclaw is fairly quick to boast about his son's skills to the clan. He gets a lot of extra training from Tigerclaw when not training with Bluestar all of which quickly makes him the best fighter out of the apprentices, which gets rid of most of the rumors surrounding Fireheart's parentage. So it's all in his best interest clearly. His dad just wants what's best, right? It's not until Bramble and Tawny are born that he notices the stark differences in how Tigerclaw treats them.

Swiftpaw adores him. He knows him as his kickass older brother. And since Longtail is close to Tigerclaw and wants to stay in his good graces there's not really anything to influence Swiftpaw otherwise. Fireheart loves him right back and tries to be a good influence.

He's cool to an outside observer, being the most skilled out of the apprentices due to the extra training and being Tigerclaw's son. But he's insecure and a people pleaser. He's also a massive dork when you really get to know him. No he's not evil.

Him and Sandstorm hated each other through most of their apprenticeship. He's not a bully, but he hangs around her bullies and though he doesn't join in, he won't defend her either. So she's bitter towards him. Sandpaw can't beat him in a fight, but she does leave him in the dust with hunting, which upsets Tigerclaw, which makes Fire a bit bitter. Tiger did not spend his time getting rid of the kittypet rumors surrounding his son just to have him get shown up by a kittypet. They get better eventually though. I honestly see them as platonic, but in a way that can easily be read as romantic.

Sandstorm has ulterior motives for befriending him, but yeah eventually she comes to love his dorky self and finds someone she can relax around. He also likes her for being someone he doesn't have to put on a show for constantly.

Bluestar x Goldenflower for the ship ask?

kind of awesome.....

[theanoninyourinbox]

Sorreltail and her brothers as tigerclaw x goldenflower kits?

Boy Darkstripe trying to kill Sorrelkit would be Awkward lol

So Tigerclaw waits a bit longer to go after Bluestar, and during that time Goldenflower becomes pregnant again. After The Incident, the kits are born, and Tawnypaw and Bramblepaw are too happy looking after their siblings for many secret meeting with Bad Dad. Sorrel still sees Darkstripe meet with Tigerclaw, and Dark still tries to poison her, but with Bramblepaw becoming Cinderpelt's apprentice, she recognizes Death Berries and runs screaming. Dark is Deported, and Tiger kills him on the spot the next time they meet - he may not be in Thunderclan, but those are still his kits.

Either Day or Dawn become Squirrel's Husband instead of Brambleberry, who enjoys his job AND saves Cinderpelt from the badgers.

Goldenflower x Bluestar and Shrewpaw x Whitewing for the bingo???

for goldenblue.. god i havent considered it but i love it actually

[black-salt-cage]

I don't usually ask about ships ,, but what do you think about Yandere!Bluestar X Sadodere!Goldenflower? ^_^ No need to answer if you don't want to!

— 🎀🐇 anon ( if it isn't ready claimed! )

honestly I love questions about ships and media and such

I've honestly never heard of bluestar x goldenflower, let alone with those dynamics. I'm personally partial to BlueOak (OakBlue?) but I think that's a fun concept! honestly it's a shame we don't take goldenflower into consideration for ship options, though I blame the erins for forgetting about her sadly

Amab bigender brackenfur x adult!swiftpaw hypokits

(warrior name in this au is swifthawk and cloudtail(and thornpaw) tag along with fighting the dogs but cloudpaw was blinded and thornpaw is killed)

Warriors Ship Hypokits: Bigender!Brackenfur x Adult!Swiftpaw Edition

In this AU, Brackenkit and Thornkit are not Frostfur and Lionheart's biological kits (although the two are still littermates): rather, they were kits stolen from WindClan by ShadowClan when they drove them out but were accidentally given to ThunderClan along with Cinderkit and Brightkit, who are the actual FrostLion kits who were stolen. ThunderClan still accepts them and by the time anyone notices the mistake it's far too late to return the two. The more battle-minded Thornpaw becomes close friends with Swiftpaw. When Swiftpaw and Brightpaw go to fight the dogs, Thornpaw tags along, as does Cloudpaw, wanting to prove himself to his new Clan. It goes very poorly: half of Brightpaw's face is torn off, Cloudpaw is blinded, Swiftpaw loses his tail and half of a hind leg, and Thornpaw is killed. The Clan mourns the tragedy and Bluestar gives them awful names. While Brackenpaw is incredibly upset by the death of his brother, he doesn't blame Swiftpaw for it, knowing that Thornpaw would've fought the dogs anyway. Over time, Brackenpaw and Swiftpaw grow closer, and she delays getting her own Warrior Name until he, Cloudpaw, and Brightpaw get better ones. Firestar gives them the names Swifthawk (after Swiftpaw saved Snowkit from the hawk), Cloudbloom, Brightheart, and Brackenthorn (specifically requested by Bracken himself). Swifthawk and Brackenthorn become mates and have four kits with their friend Sorreltail as their surrogate.

The litter is born in Twilight, sired by both Brackenthorn and Swifthawk:

Cinderheart- dark gray tortoiseshell molly with blue eyes. Cis molly, bisexual. Named for Cinderpelt, who sacrificed her life saving her and her siblings from a badger. Cinderheart's personality is mostly the same as canon. However, she becomes a (willing!) Medicine Cat after her leg injury, training alongside Hollypaw under Leafpool. She and her fellow ThunderClan MedCat Hollyleaf have a sort of unofficial mateship that rides the line between breaking the Code and not- they are obviously very close to one another, but they are both Medicine Cats and never have any kits. This doesn't directly violate the rules, so they are allowed to stay together. She is a Seer.

Honeyflower- pretty black-and-golden tabby molly with blue eyes. Cis molly, straight. She is sort of a mixture of Honeyfern and Poppyfrost character, plot, and personality-wise. She gets her suffix from her grandma Goldenflower. She gets bitten by an adder while saving Briarkit but manages to survive. She is paralyzed from it and ends up becoming a Den-Mother and mates with Berrynose. She dies in the storm following the battle against the Dark Forest, to the grief and devastation of her family, mate, and children. She is a Scout, then a Den-Mother.

Campiontail- very pale ginger tom with white paws and amber eyes. Trans tom, gray-asexual. Campiontail is a perpetual workaholic, and the fact he hasn't keeled over and died from overwork is considered to be a minor miracle from StarClan. He’s one of those people/cats who doesn't have any hobbies outside his job. His constant working and prioritization of his duties isn't entirely an intentional thing, though. He enjoys hunting so much that he doesn't really want to do anything else with his time. Campiontail loves his family a lot but expresses it in his own, odd, way. They love him back just the way he is, but wish that he would just take a break already PLEASE. He is a Hunter.

Saffronstone- pale torbico molly with striking yellow eyes. Cis molly, pansexual. Bold and a major show-off, Saffronstone refuses to fade into the background of Clan life. She loves getting attention and has trouble sharing the spotlight, although she is getting better at that. She grew up envying her sisters due to how pretty they both were, but grew out of it as she aged and now has a good relationship with both of them. In her downtime, she likes helping her sister Cinderheart collect herbs or hunt with her brother Campiontail. Quality time is her love language. Saffronstone always had a crush on Lionblaze but thought it was unrequited for the longest time, while all the while he thought that his crush on her was unrequited. When they finally got together there was a ton of rejoicing. She is a Scout.

A Warrior's Destiny - Chapter 1

Main Masterlist

Series Masterlist

Bluestar looks down at the two kits, one the color of flames, and the other a (P/c) fluffy fur, and a long bushy tail.

Bluestar looks at her friend, Goldenflower as the queen gently licks the larger kit's head, her eyes full of a soft affection.

The blue-gray leader leans down, pressing her nose to the flame colored kit's little back.

"What are you going to call them, Goldenflower?" Bluestar asks, her voice soft as to not wake the tiny kits.

"I was waiting to talk to Tigerclaw about the names," Goldenflower replies, lifting her head from the larger kit, and glancing down the smaller, flame colored kit. "But I was thinking Flamekit for this one," the golden she-cat nuzzles the tom-kit.

Bluestar's eyes fix on the larger kit, who is kneading her mother's belly with strong paws. With a closer look, Bluestar notices the size of the she-kit's paws, which were larger that most kits' paws, and Bluestar could guess that the she-kit was going to be a big cat - perhaps almost as large as her broad-shouldered father, Tigerclaw.

"Bluestar," Tigerclaw dips his head to the leader as he squeezes into the nursery.

"Congratulations," Bluestar meows to the two before she leaves the nursery.

Tigerclaw crouches down, looking at the two kits. "They are beautiful kits," Tigerclaw says, touching the larger kit with his nose.

"What do you want to call them?" Goldenflower asks, her eyes soft with affection as she gazes at her kits. "I liked Flamekit for him," Goldenflower says, licking the ginger tabby's fur.

"Yes, I like that," Tigerclaw replies. "What about (W/p)kit for her?" Tigerclaw offers.

Goldenflower purrs softly.

. . .

(W/p)kit lets out a wail as she nuzzles her brother, who is lying motionless on the ground.

Goldenflower wraps her tail around her two kits, pulling (W/p)kit's quivering body closer to her, her tail running soothingly down her daughter's back while she silently grieves for her dead son while trying to comfort her daughter.

. . .

A half-moon glows on a smooth granite boulders, turning them silver. The silence is broken only by the ripple of water form the swift black river and the whisper of trees in the forest beyond.

There is a stirring in the shadows, and from all around, lithe dark shapes creep stealthily over the rocks. Unsheathed claws glint in the moonlight. Wary eyes flash like amber. And then, as if on a silent signal, the creatures leap at each other, and suddenly the rocks were alive with wrestling, screeching cats.

At the center of the frenzy of fur and claws, a massive dark tabby pins a bracken-colored tom to teh ground and draws up his head triumphantly. "Oakheart!" the tabby growls. "How dare you hunt in our territory? The Sunningrocks belong to Thunderclan.

"After tonight, Tigerclaw, this will be just another RiverClan hunting ground!" the bracken-colored tom spits back.

A warning yowl comes from the shore, shrill and anxious. "Look out! More RiverClan warriors are coming!"

Tigerclaw turns to see sleek wet bodies sliding out of the water below the rocks. The drenched RiverClan warriors bound silently up the shore and hurl themselves into battle without even stopping to shake the water from their fur.

The dark tabby glares down at Oakheart. "You may swim like otters, but you and your warriors do not belong in this forest!" He draws back his lips and shows his teeth as the cat struggles beneath him.

The desperate scream of a ThunderClan she-cat rises above the clamor. A wiry RiverClan tom had pinned the brown warrior flat on her belly. Now he lunges toward her neck with jaws still dripping from his swim across the river.

Tigerclaw hears the cry and lets go of Oakheart. With a mighty leap, he knocks the enemy warrior away from the she-cat. "Quick, Mousefur, run!" he orders, before turning on the RiverClan tom who had threatened her. His daughter's apprentice scrambled to her paws, wincing from a deep gash on her shoulder, and races away.

Behind her, Tigerclaw spits with rage as the RiverClan tom slices open his nose. Blood blinds him for an instant, but he lunges forward regardless and sinks his teeth into the hind leg of his enemy. The RiverClan cat squeals and struggles free.

"Tigerclaw!" The yowl comes from a warrior with a tail as red as fox fur. "This is useless! There are too many RiverClan warriors!"

"No, Redtail. ThunderClan will never be beaten!" Tigerclaw yowls back, leaping to Redtail's side."This is our territory!" Blood is welling around his broad black muzzle, and he shakes his head impatiently,scattering scarlet drops onto the rocks.

"ThunderClan will honor your courage, Tigerclaw, but we cannot afford to lose any more of our warriors," Redtail urges. "Bluestar would never expect her warriors to fight against these impossible odds.We will have another chance to avenge this defeat." He meets Tigerclaw's amber-eyed gaze steadily, then rears away and springs onto a boulder at the edge of the trees.

"Retreat, ThunderClan! Retreat!" he yowls. At once his warriors squirm and struggle away from their opponents. Spitting and snarling, they back towards Redtail. For a heartbeat, the RiverClan cats look confused. Was this battle so easily won? Then Oakheart yowls a jubilant cry. As soon as they hear him, the RiverClan warriors raise their voices and join their deputy in caterwauling their victory.

Redtail looks down at his warriors. With a flick of his tail, he gives the signal and the ThunderClan cats dive down the far side of the Sunningrocks, then disappear into the trees.

Tigerclaw follows last. He hesitates at the edge of the forest and glances back at the bloodstained battlefield. His face is grim, his eyes furious slits. Then he leaps after his Clan into the silent forest.

. . .

In a deserted clearing, an old gray she-cat sits alone, staring at the clear night sky. All around her in the shadows she can hear the breathing stirrings of sleeping cats.

A small tortoiseshell she-cat emerges from a dark corner, her pawsteps quick and soundless.

The gray cat dips her head in greeting. "How is Mousefur?" she meows.

"Her wounds are deep, Bluestar," answers the tortoiseshell, settling herself on the night-cool grass."But she is young and strong; she will heal quickly."

"And the others?"

"They will all recover, too."

Bluestar sighs. "We are lucky not to have lost any of our warriors this time. You are a gifted medicine cat, Spottedleaf." She tilts her head again and studies the stars. "I am deeply troubled by tonight's defeat. ThunderClan has not been beaten in its own territory since I became leader," she murmurs. "These are difficult times for our Clan. The season of newleaf is late, and there have been fewer kits. ThunderClan needs more warriors if it is to survive."

"But the year is only just beginning," Spottedleaf points out calmly. "There will be more kits when greenleaf comes."

The gray cat twitches her broad shoulders. "Perhaps. But training our young to become warriors takes time. If ThunderClan is to defend its territory, it must have new warriors as soon as possible."

"Are you asking StarClan for answers?" meows Spottedleaf gently, following Bluestar's gaze and staring up at the swath of stars glittering in the dark sky.

"It is at times like this we need the words of ancient warriors to help us. Has StarClan spoken to you?"Bluestar asks.

"Not for some moons, Bluestar."

Suddenly a shooting star blazes over the treetops. Spottedleaf's tail twitch and the fur along her spine bristles.

Bluestar's ears prick but she remains silent as Spottedleaf continues to gaze upward.

After a few moments, Spottedleaf lowers her head and turned to Bluestar. "It was a message from StarClan," she murmurs. A distant look comes into her eyes. "Fire and (W/p) will save our Clan."

"Fire?" Bluestar echoes. "But fire is feared by all the Clans! How can it save us?"

Spottedleaf shakes her head. "I do not know," she admits. "But this is the message StarClan has chosen to share with me."

The ThunderClan leader fixes her clear blue eyes on the medicine cat. "You have never been wrong before, Spottedleaf," she meows. "If StarClan has spoken, then it must be so. Fire and (W/p) will save our Clan."

. . .

As Bluestar pads back to her den, she catches sight of a (P/c) colored pelt as the apprentice pads back into the camp, a mouse clamped in her jaws. Fire and (W/p) will save our clan.

"(W/p)paw!" the leader calls and the (E/c) eyed apprentice looks up, startled.

(W/p)paw sets the mouse down at her paws, her startled expression turning into an look of nervousness.

"What are you doing?" the leader pads up to the large apprentice.

"Oh, I was taking this to Mousefur," (W/p)paw meows.

The leader dips her head. "Go ahead then," Bluestar meows and (W/p)paw nods.

(W/p)paw picks up the mouse and trots over to the Warriors' Den where her mentor is resting.

"Mousefur," (W/p)paw gently shakes her mentor, and the warrior lifts her head looking sternly at her apprentice. "I brought you a mouse," she meows and Mousefur softens.

"Thank you, (W/p)paw," Mousefur meows, pressing her nose to (W/p)paw's muzzle.

(W/p)paw dips her head before leaving the den and padding to the Apprentices' Den where she lies down between her younger denmates, Dustpaw and Sandpaw.

. . .

It is very dark. Rusty can sense something near. The young tomcat's eyes open wide as he scans the dense undergrowth. The place is unfamiliar, but the strange scents draw him onward, deeper into the shadows. His stomach growls, reminding him of his hunger. He opens his jaws slightly to let the warm smells of the forest reach the scent glands on the roof of his mouth. Musty odors of leaf mold mingle with the tempting aroma of a small furry creature.

Suddenly a flash of gray races past him. Rusty stops still, listening. It is hiding in the leaves less than two tail-lengths away. Rusty knows it's a mouse - he can feel the rapid pulsing of a tiny heart deep within his ear fur. He swallows, stifling his rumbling stomach. Soon, his hunger would be satisfied.

Slowly he lowers his body into position, crouching for the attack. He is downwind of the mouse. He knows it's not aware of him. With one final check on his prey's position, Rusty pushes back hard on his haunches and springs, kicking up leaves on the forest floor as he rises.

The mouse dives for cover, heading towards a hole in the ground. But Rusty is already on top of it. He scoops it into the air, hooking the helpless creature with his thorn-sharp claws, flinging it up in a high arc onto the leaf-covered ground. The mouse lands dazed, but alive. It tries to run, but Rusty snatches it up again. He tosses the mouse once more, this time a little farther away. The mouse managed to scramble a few paces before Rusty catches up with it.

Suddenly a noise roars nearby. Rusty looks around, and as he does so, the mouse is able to pull away from his claws. When Rusty turns back he sees it dart into the darkness and among the tangled roots of a tree.

Angry, Rusty gives up on the hunt. He spins around, his green eyes glaring, intent on searching out the nose that had cost him his kill. The sound rattles on, becoming more familiar. Rusty blinks open his eyes.

The forest had disappeared. He is inside a hot and airless kitchen, curled up in his bed. Moonlight filters through the window, casting shadows on the smooth, hard floor. The noise had been the rattle of hard, dried pellets of food as they are tipped into his dish. Rusty had been dreaming.

Lifting his head, he rests his chin on teh side of the bed. His collar rubs uncomfortably around his neck. In his dream, he had felt fresh air ruffling the soft fur where the collar usually pinched. Rusty rolls onto his back, savoring the dream for a few more moments. He can smell mouse. It is the third time since the full moon that he's had the dream, and every time the mouse had escaped his grasp.

He licks his lips. From his bed, he can smell the bland odor of his food. His owners always refilled his dish before they went to bed. The dusty smell chases away the warm scents of his dreams. But the hunger rumbles in his stomach, so Rusty stretches the sleep out of his limbs and pads across the kitchen floor to his dinner; the food feels dry and tasteless on his tongue. Rusty reluctantly swallows one more mouthful. Then he turns away from the food dish and pushes his way out through the cat flap, hoping that the smell of the garden would bring back the feelings from his dream.

Outside, the moon is bright; it's raining lightly. Rusty stalks down the tidy garden, following the starlit gravel path, feeling the stones cold and sharp beneath his paws. He makes his dirt beneath a large bush with glossy green leaves and heavy purple flowers. Their sickly sweet scent cloys the damp air around him, and he curls his lip to drive the smell out of his nostrils.

. . .

Bluestar and Lionheart pad forward to greet the oldest apprentice.

"Bluestar," (W/p)paw dips her head to her leader and the senior warrior.

"Come join us on patrol," Bluestar says and (W/p)paw's eyes widen with surprise.

"Yes, Bluestar," (W/p)spark meows.

omg,,,,, LOOK AT THOSE WARRIORS MOVIE LEAKS!!!!

[exocynraku]

Hi! I was wondering if i could suggest a pair for hypokits? :)

Goldenflower x Bluestar prehaps?

cottonsplotch!

[evilpawz]

getting her design the way i wanted it took entirely too long omg (very tiny implied spoilers for sky in the headcanons)

headcanons

. repressed lesbian in her youth, came out shortly after becoming leader

. despite outwardly seeming not to trust anyone, she spent a lot of time with goldenflower in the dead of the night

.  truly saw firestar as a son

. design below is how she looks post tigerclaw’s betrayal

. i cant remember who originally came up with this idea, but i share the headcanon that trying to scar a leader’s leader marking is extremely disrespectful to both the leader and the clan they lead, so tigerclaw slashing bluestar’s star before fireheart stopped him from finishing his work was fitting to me

. not rlly a headcanon but i hope shes comforting mistystar rn because of how fucked up riverclan got 

. ALSO im a big fan of goldenflower x bluestar but also yellowfang x bluestar so to compromise i think im gonna make them poly

- “Here’s Spottedleaf. SHe’s young and sexy. Here’s Darkstripe, he’s neither young nor sexy” - Graypaw to Firepaw

- The first person to get to Ravenpaw when he collapses is Goldenflower, both described and called by her name, so no possible doubt.

- the raw sexual tension between Spottedleaf and Tigerclaw (reciprocated)

like stop it with “Spottedleaf and Firepaw”, it’s out, Spottedleaf x Tigerclaw is a thing and it’s a thing that has canon evidence.

- Yellowfang being called an “old queen” despite queen being specific to mothers or expecting mothers. Hinting at Brokenstar. Also FIrepaw being like “do you have kids?” and her being like “what if we stopped talking for a while?”

- “Bluestar only takes for apprentices her deputy’s kits” no she never but then you know Graypaw you’re just six moons old you’re probably repeating something someone else said.

- The kits feel stuck in camp and get agitated when Bluestar forbids them to leave because of the fox: further proof that at the beginning, kits would leave the camp (with their mother obviously but still) often.

- Everyone is like “oh yeah Yellowfang, apparently she’s shadowclan medicine cat?” “oh yeah apparently after Raggedstar died, Brokenstar became leader?”, like both the leader and the medicine cat aren’t present at every gathering. Bluestar not even being sure who Yellowfang is, mention of Shadowclan “chosing” their new leader. Might be weak worldbuilding, might be the french translation.
