Hi! I was wondering if you'd be willing to share your thought process for Prancer's design? I love her long feathery antlers and soft golden colors, but I wasnt able to figure out the meanings of her design and would love to know more!

(all of them were fantastic btw and has honestly been what I've looked forward to the second-most of all of Christmas. I was gonna say top spot but that has to go to the stinky cheese we're gonna eat lol Hope you have a great holiday and eat lots of tasty food!!)

Honestly the design inspo for prancer is the weakest of the reindeer. It's literally what we call "schmoovement" I wanted a deer that was really feeling it. Confident, sexy.

The feathery antlers were just part of that big, proud movement. They're for flow.

After finishing the drawing, I realized that the gait shown wasn't actually prancing. So I spent the last couple days redrawing it to have those happy highsteps horses do, but its hard to beat this drawing. i mean look at it its gorgeous. So I scrapped all my technically prancing prancers and just went for The Mood.

The antlers aren't too far off certain reindeer examples actually. here's some refs

The color is based on a popcupine caribou (named for their territory not spines, sadly) They have dark noses, legs, and eyespots. And are cute as hell.

And I chose a light color to make my lineup go from light to dark

One little easter egg in the design is the prancey feets. I gave prancer fluffy feet to really accentuate their steps. and they are modeled after something that is technically dancing, but is kinda prancing when you think about it.

Tap shoes!

Clip clop am I right?

As for my holiday plans:

general info/context:

They were the same clan but fell apart (Steppeclan)

Spireclan, Termiteclan And Humbleclan

All medicine cats named -heart

Queens are replacement for in-game mistresses, they're not nursing mothers. They're instead like mothers of the whole clan. There are also queen apprentices that can only be of queen blood. They get -sight names until they become full queens (leaders) and get -star.

Moonspire - Polyhedron (the kits call it the playden), Bullplace - Abattoir, Hollowpool - Cathedral

Polyhedron is made of ice that doesn't melt, Abattoir is made of that kinda ancient brown dusty ice that has diseases in it, Cathedral is a bunch of tall sticks and a puddle (melted ice) (fail)

Herb mates are also another cat class only special kin cats can be apprenticed to. They have -dancer names.

The powers that be are Starclan. Aka the giant kids. No idea how that explains them being like a literal government. Maybe everyone is super religious. I mean maybe god is real. Warrior cats

Daniil was a kittypet that lived in a veterinarian clinic

Rubin was unofficially apprenticed by Isidor, never got the -heart name.

The guardian cats are also in this au. A clan full of medicine cats. This is the place where Daniil lived and Artemy studied, but they didn’t know each other (Capital basically)

The Stamatins are former kittypets and den builders that used to live with the guardian cats.

The army is also another faraway clan that is full of warriors that fight by the orders of Starclan whether they like it or not

Whomping willow headcanons.

~~~♤~~~

The whomping willow would have changed leaves during the seasons.

Think about what that would mean for a young Remus Lupin, crossing its path every month for years?

Remus spending his winters looking up at the snow covered branches as he highstepped to get to the opening in the trunk.

Remus spent his springs watching the birds try (and fail) to make home in the tree as the green grass paved his path to the tunnel.

Remus spending the hot summers feeling grateful for the brief shade before he slid down to make his way to the shack.

Remus would have spent his falls smiling at the breeze blowing leaves to the ground and crunching under his boots before he disappeared to wait out the remainder of the night.

The whomping willow was planted for him, so I like to think Remus always felt a certain attachment to it.

They were both their own kind of monsters, something people feared, something aggressive that would lash out if you got too close. They both shared a big secret.

But in truth, if you spent the time to get to know them, poked the right knot, listened to the right story. They weren't monsters at all. They were peaceful, changing with the seasons, spending their months together in their quiet solitude.

Remus connected with this tree on a level he didn't connect to many things with. It made him feel safe, even when he was at his most dangerous.

The whomping willow showed Remus that even as it lost all its leaves every winter, bare against the cold, it kept hope and stayed alive until the spring, where it would be whole again.

If this tree could go through its transformations every month and still stand so tall, surely Remus could too?

I doubt it would ever happen, but just as a fun hypothetical, what warrior name would you give Razor? :O

Oh thats a great question! If he was keeping 'Razor' I would probably name him somethibg like Razorclaw, something simple but that he would like. Maybe Razorwind. If I was gonna pick a name from scratch... Darksmile would be cool, if a bit obvious haha. Maybe Highstep to reference his Exalted status? It would honestly depend on the circumstances of him joining and like what Clan he was going to be in so I can't say for sure, but that's a fun question to think about!

WIP Wednesday (on Thursday)

From Whoa! Penelope prances for Luke under the cut... Spicy, with some sexy slang, but nothing super graphic. They are both roleplaying as horses.

In answer to horse-Luke's beckon, Penelope's nostrils, breasts, pussy…maybe even her heart flairs with eager agreement - the urge to join him - as his mate - on all fours on the floor beside the bed almost overwhelming.

But, if Luke is thinking she - Penelope Grace Garcia - high-heel enthusiast extraordinaire - would ever EVER to go straight to her knees in these boots - he is sadly mistaken.

By all that is sparkly - is it not better - nay her goddess given duty - to properly flaunt for him just what the hoof shoes do for her curves!

Penelope unfolds herself from the bed - but instead of dropping to her knees - she takes a step - the velvet of her body suit brushing his naked strapped flank - the next step puts an elongated plump calve even with his horse's eye - Luke whinny of appreciation gives her next step energy and she glories in the gate her tiptoed stance lends her - Luke whinnies again rearing then pawing the ground with impatient hoof gloves. He wants he down with him now!

But Penelope highsteps her way across the room.

Denying him what he thinks he wants so she can give him what she is sure he'll enjoy far far more…

With a toss of her mane, Penelope keeps stepping - the hitch and blow of his breath - saddling her with the confidence that her lover's gaze must now be clinging to her boosted rounded rump.

Giddy up, girl.

Penelope now shifts to a prancing precise horsey gait which she knows from the solo play she indulged in front of her closet mirrors this week should roll and sway her hips in a way almost guaranteed to drive Luke Alvez mad. Stepping steeping in a way that she hopes with drive his gaze from hip down down down to tip of hoof then back up. His eyes caught in her traces.

Penelope cheekily and naughtily puts as much distance as the room will allow between them - determined to put her stallion through his paces.

Recuperating. Sore jaw. A gaping hole where that molar used to be.

On the television, a football game (I get the idea it is annual matchup) between Howard University and Florida A and M, the latter somewhat renown because of its highstepping marching band. I hang on until halftime and they do show a little of both bands. Kamala (a Howard alum) is in the VIP stands, cheering on the Howard ensemble. They get around to showing a bit of Florida band, but not enough. I suppose I would have to go to You Tube to get more. A long list of students want to be a part of The Marching One Hundred (that is the name...or something like that). This fabled group made the news a while back because of a hazing incident.

Too soon it's over and it's back to football. Far less interesting that the bands.

An obit for Ted Morgan. Ne Sanche de Gramont. Though French titled, descended from a duke (I think) he "became American" and took the most American of names. I didn't know until I read the obit that Ted Morgan is an anagram of de Gramont. Clever, yes? I remember really enjoying his formidable book on Maugham. Paperback. Paperbacks have a shorter life expectancy than hardbound books. The Maugham tome sits mouldering on my shelf. I always intended to reread it, before it is reduced to mulch.
