BOUNDARIES:

I do not approve of any CC (content creator) shipping because 1) it's gross and 2) the CCs (at least most of them) aren't comfortable with that.

Don't be a creep. Like, respect others' boundaries. Don't be creepy and stalk them or anything. That's just weird.

This account is a LGBTQ+ safe zone, so even if you aren't part of the community, like moi, don't be rude if someone is or wants to be. Support them and give them extra love, because you aren't better than them just because you're cisgender or straight.

Be nice to people, at least on this account.

I'm only now getting the breathing space to come back on the warrior cat blogging - busy busy haha. Two points I'm interested in your thoughts on!

What would the protocol be for a lone Augur (e.g. Sandstorm) kitting? With no other Thunderclan Augurs would experienced non-patrician queens be allowed presence to assist (e.g. Speckletail) or would arrangements have to be made out of clan for an Augur to be on standby (e.g. Barkface)?

How would a regular warrior discovering the moonpool at the lake be received by the clans (eg Leafpool in the BrindleAugur AU)? Would they still be considered a regular warrior despite the one for one parallel to Moth Flight? Or would you shuffle the cat who finds the moonpool into a Patrician?

Having some ideas regarding both of these points in a Frostfur AU context so I'm interested to hear your thoughts! The newest instalment following JayCinder has been a fun read! Jaypaw is such a terrible little guy (and I mean that lovingly) - the way you write him is 10/10. Also Leafpool lying and claiming celibacy has been amazing, your concepts are so fascinating I can't wait to see where it goes!

Hi! Nice to see you have some time again, glad to see you writing in! I love your own concepts and the spin you've given to mine, I'm very excited to see you back!

Oooh, these are very good questions, let me see...

Definitely the first option would be to arrange for an out of Clan augur or patrician queen to attend, with preference for one that has a stake in the litter in question. So, for instance, in Sandstorm's case there is already an expectation that if she has a compatible kit they would be arranged to Crowkit as a way of solidifying the ThunderClan-WindClan relationship. So Barkface or Ashfoot would be likely to attend, not only to assist the birth but also as a courtesy similar to how Ashfoot was allowed the privilege to attend to Leafpool's kitting. Though in this case rather than fetching her all the way when the birth is underway she'd be hosted as a guest while her father remains in WindClan as the one manning the den. The situation would, of course, be trickier if no Clan had an augur or patrician queen to spare and be hosted as a guest in unfamiliar territory, in which case I do see an experienced in-Clan queen attending the birth. Although preferably one that is highly trusted by the patrician giving birth in question. The custom of ejecting all other queens from the nursery stems from one part superstition and one part suspicion that a jealous queen assisting the birth may sabotage it. So inviting one would be a sign of great trust and closeness to the patrician bloodline.

In mainline augur AU Leafpool is definitely an important figure, the second Mothflight in a sense. Already by the time Jay, Holly, and Lion are born she's important enough to have her own time in the spotlight at the annual celebration, telling her own story of discovery. So, while I personally would give the role to a patrician still as to not shake the status quo too much, if it did happen I'm definitely seeing regular Warrior Leafpool finding it being a Big Deal™. Inside ThunderClan I can see support growing, specially among Firestar's biggest supporters, for instituting a new patrician bloodline. Fire may even back up the proposal as a way to get his girl into a position she wanted. Among ThunderClan's detractors though, particularly among WindClan and with the more traditionalist patricians, I see the move being fiercely opposed. Overall it'd be a fierce debate, which I ultimately see hinging on whether her children demonstrate augur-like qualities, which considering Jay's StarClan connection may turn in their favor! Then again, once it comes out Crow's their father, it may throw it into question again because who's to say the StarClan connection didn't come from the father?

Thank you for the nice comments! <3

I'm very satisfied with how I wrote the CinderJay romance and I'm glad it's been connecting with people. I do love writing Jaypaw as a terrible little guy that's still entertaining to read about and has some room to develop. I find that setting to be optimal for him. Hope I can do just as well as we move further into the series' main romance between him and Willowpaw.

And with regards to The Joyful Mysteries, I was just settling in to edit chapter 4 so you may just get to see where it's going pretty soon~

[troutfur]

Poppyfrost does show up around him a fair amount through Po3 and OotS! You do get the sense they're good friends, good enough for him to babysit for her, even though he's typically grouchy around kittens. As someone who contributed to getting the tag over 10 works though, I have to say a lot of what I like about them is what the fanworks themselves have added onto it. It's very typical of WC ships to be more fanon than canon and I think JayPoppy is more or less interchangeable with JayCinder and JayBriar as Jayfeather x patient ships. It really depends on what you like more. Orpheus and Eurydice parallels? Jay, Holly, and Lion fighting over the same girl? Two disabled friends against the world?

I'm partial to the first two, with a bias towards JayPoppy because it's the first time I liked a straight ship enough to get writing for it, when I'm usually too gay to even conceptualize attraction to a woman. JayBriar I like a lot more as a friendship personally. I can enjoy romantic content of them but it's absolutely not my preference.

just discovered that Jayfeather/Poppyfrost was a ship on AO3 and like... i don't get it.

(yeah yeah i know i don't have to get it and people can enjoy whatever they want but...)

did they even interact in canon except from the time Jayfeather saved her from being killed by Breezepelt and Brokenstar at the Moonpool? (ok that's quite the interaction but still)

idk as much as I don't like the Jayfeather/Briarlight ship, I get where they're coming from, the two of them spend a lot of time together and are somehow friends. But Jay and Poppy??

[puppypaw-wc]

shipping lioncinder, hollycinder (slash cinderholly) and jaycinder (is that the ship name-) simultaneously is pretty funny to me because it’s funny to imagine all of the three having a crush on cinderheart-

[cinderjay]

au where jaycinder and hollyheather are canon endgame. call it "lioblaze's siblings steal his girlfriends bc he sux" au

[asphyxa]

u ever get hit in the heart by old ship feels so hard like holy crap

[mallowstep]

FINALLY someone gets it. Having one person hate the other in the ship.. it isnt HEALTHY. Rivals to Lovers can be cute, yeah, but only if it starts as both hating each other and growing to love the others company. It’s kind of apart of the reason I left the mha fandom, cause the most popular ship in that fandom was toxic as literal acid.

I can understand jaykestrel’s PLATONIC appeal, where they could become a pretty funny FRIEND duo, but shipwise i’ve always either seen it as jaybriar, jaypoppy, jay is aromantic in a qpr with briar or poppy, etc etc.

i mean, look. i don't want to swing too far the other way. if you're looking for only healthy ships here, nonnie, well...

[images below a cut; they're screenshots of some tags from various unhealthy fics of mine, cut is because the tags r dark shit]

that said, when it comes to "ships i enjoy because i want to enjoy characters in a healthy relationship," it's a major pet peeve of mine when people act like enjoying someone else being unhappy can be a healthy relationship. i can't get behind a ship where "it's cute that they're grumpy!"

like noah fence, but if you've never had people laugh off your genuine upset/anger/hurt, you might not realize how terrible it feels to be told that's cute. it does not make for a good relationship.

(aside: there's a difference between a pervasive attitude and "yeah you get growly sometimes it's cute." i don't feel like rambling about the nuances here. use ur noggin.)

so yeah, jay&kestrel isn't something i care about very much, but jay/kestrel definitely isn't for me. i like jaypoppy, jaybriar, jaycinder, hell, jay/half moon, because these are cats who make jayfeather happy. he wants to be around them. briarlight definitely finds amusement in jayfeather's prickliness, but that's not what makes the relationship cute.

sigh. mini rant over.

there's nothing like, explicit or w/e in these btw they just have references to upsetting topics that i figured i wouldn't blast anyone with.

(aside: "sex education" has to be one of my favourite tags on btbm.)

anyway, i'm sharing these because i don't want anyone to get the wrong idea. i delight in unhealthy relationships. i just don't like the way some people talk about "hehehe she thinks it's cute when he's grumpy!" and so on.
