#i’m just not ashamed at all tbh. it might be because i’m tipsy but my point still stands

[twunkmac]

it’s not that i think dennis reynolds didn’t do anything wrong it’s just that i love him anyway

[rorykillmore]

hmmm brambleclaw, jitterpaw, sara?

brambleclaw

apart from squirrelflight, he still considers stormfur and crowfeather his closest friends. he did not grow up with the experience a lot of the generations before him did -- having a tightly knit group of close friends in thunderclan. his and tawnypelt’s apprenticeship was of course overshadowed by the threat of tigerstar at the time, and there weren’t many other young cats in his age range to begin with.

he does, however, really like and admire dustpelt, who in many ways had to fight for the clan’s trust because of his relationship with tigerstar just as brambleclaw did. i think on denny he and leopardpool could eventually become really good friends but then i’m a sucker for leader/medicine cat relationships.

on denny, the cats who are gonna give him his nine lives will be:  bluestar (stepping in as former clan leader in place of firestar, who isn’t dead yet in brambleclaw’s timeline), redtail (tigerstar’s first murder, who would give him a life related to being able to move on from that legacy), yellowfang (who brambleclaw hardly knew but... i like the significance of it, since firestar always blamed himself for her death because he was rescuing bramblekit),  cinderpelt, frostfur, speckletail, swiftpaw (who was not only his denmate at one point but also his half-brother through goldenflower, the more you know), goldenflower herself, and feathertail.

he still grieves and misses hawkfrost sometimes, but generally feels too ashamed to talk about it.

if he’s stressed or uneasy, he sleeps curled up in a tight ball -- but otherwise his sleeping habits are kind of hilariously kitten-ish. he likes to sprawl out, and often does that Cat Thing where they roll over onto their backs and have their head at some absurd angle. poor squirrelflight tbh

speaking of, he’s not currently... quite as outraged at her as he was in canon because the context of him finding out about power of three stuff was so different: it wasn’t after years of thinking the kits he’d raised were related to him by blood, it was just kind of. all thrown at him at once. plus this version of squirrelflight didn’t even do anything yet, and with their kits on the way, it’s a lot easier to direct his anger at crowfeather and leafpool -- though there might... still be some lingering tension between them.

he actually does quite like mothwing, and wishes he had the chance to get to know her better -- she’s still his half-sister, and he sometimes wonders whether she’d be the one cat who could understand how he felt about hawkfrost.

he feels it’s a silly, pointless thing to hope for, but he wishes that tigerstar would express some regret for how his actions affected his kids, even once.

he loves snow. doesn’t like leafbare very much otherwise, but the first snowfall of the year is his favorite thing and he always lowkey desperately tries not to miss it while trying to seem like he’s not too invested.

he fears/dislikes human kids because they tend to be rough and kind of disrespectful of animal boundaries, but he would also never bite or scratch one. i hope kid!michael myers never picks him up,

jitterpaw

is basically her sister’s shadow in the figurative and aesthetic sense -- honeypaw has light, golden colored fur, jitterpaw has very dark ginger fur.

she was actually conceived to be just kind of a... side character in a plot dawnie and i had waaaay back in the day. the plot originally centered around a love/hate relationship between honeypaw and my character smokepaw, but then i also made jitterpaw to be honeypaw’s support system and kinda fell in love with her.

she would actually recognize badgerstripe, though badgerstripe wouldn’t know her. jitterpaw is from further along in badgerstripe’s era and would know her as badgerstar.

has now sworn off rabbit altogether and doesn’t care what anyone thinks; she loves fiver too much, you guys.

her primary fear is probably... getting sick, due to the way her mother died. she doesn’t take very well to even catching mild illnesses; they really stress her out.

back in the day i literally almost made her warrior name jitterbug (however i did not in fact rp her long enough to actually give her a warrior name, so, she was spared,)

once had a friend from thunderclan named rabbitpaw -- he was easygoing and goodnatured and they bantered a lot, but were mainly united in their bafflement over a pretty intense rivalry between honeypaw (jitterpaw’s sister) and smokepaw (rabbitpaw’s best friend).

her favorite sound in the world is her sister’s laugh. she missed it long before they were separated.

loves swimming but, ironically enough, hates rain. she’s just particularly sensitive to the sensation of it pouring down on her -- and also the sound of thunder really unsettles her. 

otterfrost intimidates her, but jitterpaw also looks up to her and really, really wants her approval. it’s turning her into a little bit of an overachiever tbh. 

sara

her birthday is on christmas, like, canonically. as a kid she used to hate having to share it with such a major holiday; it always felt really overshadowed. now she doesn’t... particularly care because needless to say, she’s not big into celebrating herself.

the one accessory she wears almost constantly is the necklace laurel gave her. no surprises there.

as the entire world knows, she’s bi. she has leaned into preferring women as she’s gotten older for a variety of reasons: natural preference and a growing confidence in and acceptance of that as she’s aged, but it’s also i think influenced by stuff like the fact that she’s a sexual abuse survivor and that’s something that directly influenced her involvement in the league of assassins/later her vigilantism. 

has some background in biology, genetics, and physics, but it almost never comes to light given that her more... brutal and hands-on skills are usually called for.

her ride of choice (apart from the waverider) is a motorcycle. she actually even has a license! and can kind of be a dork about showing it off to pretty girls and giving them lifts.

still sort of considers oliver her best friend - they’ll always have a special and turbulent connection - though during their time on the waverider together, kendra kind of became something like that too.

her favorite song is “love will keep us together” by captain and tennille. she once playfully, drunkenly serenaded nyssa with it. it also became something of a meme between her and snart (it was the first song they ever got into a barfight together to, after all,)

her favorite time periods to visit are probably the 1970′s and the old west, aka the ones respectively infamous for getting high and shooting people, of course.

most peg her for a super casual drinker and barhopper, but the truth is that if she drinks casually at all, it’s because she’s confident that she can hold her liquor. she almost never gets even tipsy, and actually takes issues with alcohol... pretty seriously and respectfully, due to laurel’s history with it.

on denny she’s started messing with reimagining her old sonic weapons of choice -- yep, the ones black canary is famous for. they pack quite a punch and she’s lowkey kind of itching to use them on someone.
