#hlvrai cats au

[freakinglegs]

More cats au art I’m sooo normal about this

[sunhowler-art]

was inspired by this post to design some hlvrai warrior cats!! i'm honestly shocked it took me 2 years to make a warriors au for it, i love making warriors aus...

some basic info below the cut!

sooo my general idea (it's pretty hazy right now. forgive me) for this au is that songfoot (benrey), nectarbrook (darnold), goldenberry (tommy), galeheart (coomer), scorchtail (bubby), and snakestar (gman) are all from the same clan... i'm between plain ol' thunderclan or a custom clan called mesaclan. i'm probably gonna go with thunderclan because i don't wanna bother with making other clans and lore and stuff LOL. there's some kind of threat outside of the clans that's affecting the environment a la the beavers in arc 4. it's something that starclan definitely caused, whether deliberately or accidentally, i dunno. main point is that snakestar sends songfoot, nectarbrook, goldenberry, galeheart, and scorchtail off on a journey to track down the problem and take care of it. while they're gone, the external threat kills snakestar and he spends all his time being a textbook unhelpful and cryptic starclan cat who just kind of makes things worse. as per a snakestar prophecy, the gang picks up gordon along the way, a kittypet whose owners abandoned her and she's been mostly unsuccessfully fending for herself since. oh and frostpaw (forzen) is part of bloodclan. bloodclan tries and fails to kill the gang, despite frostpaw's best efforts (he kidnapped goldenberry's bird friend, sunny).

some lil character facts and such:

gordon is an ex kittypet. she had a very very cozy and spoiled life up until her twolegs got evicted or something and tossed her out onto the streets. she wasn't out there long before the clan cats found her, and thank god for that, because she sucks at being a survivalist. she is fairly smart though, bringing a fresh perspective and problem solving skills to the group. she is consistently freaked the fuck out by clan cat culture, and the clan cats have fun gaslighting her about it. the only cat who doesn't play along with that is goldenberry, mostly because he doesn't really think its that funny. gordon picks up survival skills from the clan cats fairly quickly, but they still call her soft all the time. classic clan cat anti-kittypet prejudice.

songfoot is the warrior code's biggest fan. not because he really fully believes in its utility, mostly because he loves bossing people around. you can find him stalking around thunderclan camp looking out for anyone doing minor infractions. god forbid you take too much fresh kill from the pile, you'll never hear the end of it. he can't really do much about it though, because snakestar finds him vaguely offputting. his signature stare doesn't help much. his fellow warriors generally like him despite all his strange quirks. songfoot has some kind of starclan-given power a la The Three... my thought is that his vocalizations have supernatural mind-altering properties. it's kinda like sweet voice, but a hiss can make others mad, a purr can make others calm, a screech can stun them, etc. without fail. he's vaguely aware of this power, and he doesn't really use it for things starclan would like him to. he kinda does his own thing.

he's a fairly competent hunter and fighter, but he's generally physically non-confrontational. during battle, he prefers to slink along in the shadows and wait to strike.

during the journey, he loves following gordon along. initially it's because of his deeply embedded distrust of kittypets, but he realizes pretty quickly that he's interested in her in a different sense, one that really frustrates and confuses him... a warrior shouldn't wanna be mates with a kittypet. that's so beyond wrong. he's gotta do everything he can to annoy gordon into leaving the group so he doesn't have to confront his feelings about her (one of these tactics involves him insisting on calling her "gordie," saying it sounds much more suitable for a kittypet). unfortunately for the both of them, that doesn't work. what's worse-- his powers don't seem to work on her for whatever reason. they continue to butt heads for far too long before either of them opens up about how they actually feel. (it takes gordon far longer to admit to herself that she's feeling that way than it does for songfoot, but eventually it clicks for her.)

("song" comes from sweet voice, and "foot" comes from... y'know. but i imagine the in-universe explanation is that he spends a lot of time padding around and watching people. the name from the post that inspired this one-- sweetsong-- is perfect but i didn't wanna copy it. i really like the name songfoot though, i think it's really cute.)

nectarbrook is thunderclan's beloved medicine cat. sweet and silly, she has an affinity for collecting and mixing herbs to create new tinctures. they don't always work exactly how she wants them to, but they never have strictly negative effects, so... not too bad! she spends most of her time on the journey trying and failing to be a mediator, and cowering in fear while everyone else does the scary (and often stupid) work. she's got an intelligence to rival gordon's, and she's one of the only cats gordon fully gets along with.

("nectar" is about the closest warrior cats prefix to "soda," and "brook" just kinda sounds nice as a suffix to nectar. it's another liquid-related word too.)

frostpaw is a bloodclan apprentice. he's well beyond apprentice age, but he's pretty incompetent at warrior duties and such, so it's taking him a while. he just wants to graduate.

i imagine he used to be a cushy kittypet with dreams of being one of those cool cat gang members he sees outside every now and again. he's way in over his head.

("frost" comes from forzen. obviously. i initially envisioned him as a warrior named frostjaw. i don't know why i chose that suffix other than it sounding nice. but then i remembered the "i just wanna graduate" thing, and thought it would be funny to make him an apprentice.)

goldenberry is a highly skilled warrior and one of snakestar's kits. he has a very unassuming demeanor, often appearing clumsy or head-in-the-clouds, but he's one of thunderclan's most precise and deadly fighters. his long windclan-like limbs allow for quick movement. like his father, he strikes like a snake. despite his prowess, he doesn't like fighting at all, and he would much rather hang around camp with his friend songfoot and take care of menial tasks like an apprentice or test out new herb tinctures for nectarbrook. he's very helpful and kind, if not a bit blunt. before snakestar died, he had goldenberry in mind as the next deputy as soon as galeheart finally kicked the bucket. he only didn't make him the deputy in the first place because he was an apprentice at the time.

("golden" comes from tommy's signature yellow, as well as his father's perception of him as highly important. "berry" comes from his general sillyness and his affinity for nectarbrook's various little treats.)

galeheart is a gregarious senior warrior and thunderclan's beloved deputy. despite his small stature, he's incredibly strong and overzealous. he loves his clan to death and he loves fighting even more, often dragging everyone into unnecessary squabbles just for the thrill of it. his loud, booming voice commands everyone's attention. he's quite old and really should be in the elders' den at this point, but his love for the warrior life keeps him going despite it all, and he's still in great shape. snakestar isn't quite so satisfied with galeheart's behavior, but there's not much he can do about that, given everyone else loves galeheart to bits. snakestar partially send him on that journey in hopes he would die already, but he has an unwavering spirit and he can and will outlive snakestar.

galeheart and gordon get along for the most part, but gordon is a little scared of him.

("gale" comes from coomer's general energy. he is a strong gust of wind to me. it also brings to mind the color white, which... is what galeheart is! "heart" also comes from his Vibes, mostly his fighting spirit.)

scorchtail is yet another old coot who should be getting ticks picked off of him by apprentices, but his stubbornness keeps him in his warrior position. he's not even particularly good at being a warrior-- he's cowardly and his battle strategy can best be described as the real life version of button-mashing. still, he's far too prideful to retire to the elders' den. he tends to follow galeheart around, since they grew up together and share similar positions in the clan. he's very antagonistic towards gordon, even moreso than songfoot. he has a special hatred of kittypets, seeing their lifestyle as an embarrassment.

("scorch" comes from bubby's association with fire as well as his sassy disposition, and "tail" comes from the tip of his tail looking burnt.)

snakestar is a starclan cat who was previously thunderclan's leader. he's generally cold and and analytical, and not much of a fighter, preferring to make others do his bidding. this behavior carried over very well to starclan, where he spends all his time being appropriately cryptic and unhelpful. he holds a lot of love for his one son, goldenberry, who he's always watching over. he doesn't care much for his other previous clanmates. he visits gordon in her dreams often to tell her vague things about her "part to play" and how important she is and all that. he arbitrarily decided that she was the subject of a prophecy, for the most part. i like to think starclan just makes shit up for fun. i think maybe one of his ancestors visited gordon when she was a kitten and made some kind of deal with her. i dunno. i'm in the very early stages of this au.

("snake" comes from gman's general vibes, but it's also an allusion to snakes in mythology [particularly abrahamic myth] being sleazy dealmakers with ill intent. before he was a leader, his suffix was "sight," alluding to his tendency to sit back and watch rather than run into battle.)

thanks for reading my long-ass ramblings, if you did! :-P idk if i'll actually do anything with any of this, but it's fun to think about...

hlvrai but they are cats!! :3

[higgs-the-god]

i did it again (drew the gordons sitting in a row)

[thinking-outside-the-giftbox18]

Did NOT expect to make this for Pride Month but hey! I made these Chibi Pride Catbois featuring GeeBees (Gordon x Benry x Barney)

Gordon - Tanktop (Achillean Flag, masc loving masc), Socks (FTM Trans Flag)

Cat Design based on a Cashmere/Longhair Bengal

Benry - Binder top (Demisexual Flag), Socks (Genderfluid Flag)

Cat Design based on Tuxedo

Barney - Tanktop (Demisexual(see Benry)-Gay Flags in one), Socks (Cisgender Flag)

Cat Design based on Tuxedo

And since this is the start of the gayest month, I'll also add the GAYEST Half-Life Freemanverse-Calhounverse AU I know:

GORGEOUS FREEMAN AND BEAUTY CALHOUN ^^

They were fun to draw but I didn't watch Gorgeous Freeman. I had headcanons based on assumptions, these two beautiful yet insane people are the way they are thanks to CrystalQueer Water, Beauty's pronouns are "she/he", is Japanese-American, and both Gorgeous and Beauty dyed their hair pink to help Beauty out of his depression (because they can be sappy while also sassy assholes). Beauty's design was inspired by @newtafterdark's Beauty Calhoun design. Also, I did something stupid and now I made an alternate character who is technically from the Gorgeous Freeman AU^^;

One more piece of art that is suggestive with some artistic nudity, so under the "Keep Reading" here's a cake that some idiot ruined and took the strawberry.

There's more on the way because I want to make this blog alive after long inactivity ^^;;;

So, Have A Nice Day!!! ^^

Here's the idiot!

I don’t think I ever posted my HLVRAI warrior cats au designs so errrm :D

[utahraptorevolved]

HLVRAI WC Designs bc i can. These are all pre ResCas (for Benrey It’s Acts 1-2)

Here’s are the Post ResCas (For Benrey is 3-4, i don’t habe a Full Design for the final battle but uh yuh.)

Got Benrey the blue markings will change color with what sweet voice he uses (yes they glow, he can control how bright they are) and they normally settle on blue when he’s not using BMSV. If you want I can make like an ao3 thing going over the backstory.

[gmanwhore]

Bubby -> Flametongue: A sleek light grey cat with a shorter tail then usual because reasons. He has ice blue eye that seem to almost border on white. He is a warrior in Shadowclan.

Tommy -> Tommy: A limber cream coloured cat with white paws. He has bright amber eyes. He is an apprentice in Windclan despite being 36 moons old.

Benrey -> Benrey: A thick furred dark grey cat with odd black markings that look almost like a helmet with a visor. He has bright yellow eyes. He is a loner the lives near the Thunderclan border by Twolegplace, but he says he belongs to Passportclan.

*slams door open* I'M DONE! FINALLY!

Over the past few weeks, I've put myself through a challenge to try and make art using pallets from @color-palettes .

I decided to go multifandom as well so I'm not stuck drawing the same guys over and over again, and also so I don't get board. I think I did well so here's all the ones I did in no particular order:

(Trigger warning for Death in two of the artwork)

[can-i-see-your-passport-please]

Oh ya. Also thoughts on benrey having a cat. Like one of emotional support cats, knowing his ass definitely needs one. Also he just seems like a cat type-a-guy!

YES YES YES it is very cuddly with him. It's one of the fluffiest things you've ever seen. They have rubbed off on each other a lot. Sometimes they'll just stare at each other for eternity. Cat to cat communication. Autism powers. Also I think it would be funny if it's a ginger kity because as we all know

[ID: A screenshot of a Tumblr post. The original post has a photo of an orange cat over a blue, yellow, and white flag, with the caption "Every Male Orange Cat from Real Life is a Himbo!"

The OP reblogs their post saying "The best part about this post is everyone tagging their own dumb orange cats who can't even defend themselves online." //End ID.]

benrey has a pet mouse named cheddar after the mouse cheddar from the rugrats episode "smell of success"
