[leafpool-loves-ashfur]

lesbibabies

literally all of the kits/apps in the chap 100 gen are gay lmao

Lizardpaw (aka Livy)!!! Is very obviously lesbian, not fooling anyone. Big ol’ crush on Cinderpaw, who is bisexual!! (It’s always been hc to me that she crushed on Fire and Sand since I watched Girl Crush by sad machine). and the other gal kitty Lizardpaw thinks is cute is Primrosepaw, who is an hetero :)

and then it’s Elderpaw and Mistlepaw!!! Mistlepaw is Big Floof Lesbian GF (her bro is Lionheart, only makes sense she’s floofy), while Elderpaw is transgender mtf demi-girl (she/they pref) lesbian!

here’s the first scene where Elderpaw’s proper pronouns are used in Chap 96 -

“Elderkit is in the medicine den again,” Tigerclaw meowed. “Sick. I’m sure he isn’t-”

“She,” Cliffkit said, then squeaked when Tigerclaw’s gaze swiveled to her. She ducked behind Creekflower, a small tremor to her legs. Creekflower placed a paw protectively in front of her, glaring at Tigerclaw.

[burning-thistles-bt]

Actually, what are some scenes you'd love to see people draw? Especially ones with the Needed characters.

Also yeah the ask about "do you REALLY need" was mostly in jest but Lolling your response was super awesome!

Okay, some ideas right off the top of my head:

Lizardflight: First trip to Moonstone here

Cloudtail: Helping Lizardpaw sneak out of camp (same as above)

Bluestar: Farewell to her family here

Tigerstar: Nine Lives Ceremony here

Thistlestar: let's take a trip down memory lane to Chapter 3 where he met (two of) his kits for the first time.

Finchflight: Applefur's vigil here (because we obviously need more Applefur in our lives, right? Finch is just the stepping stone we kick out of our way to get that :) )

[burning-thistles-bt]

Well if we're doing ship polls now-

FireSand is left out because we all know they da best we have the poll to prove it

Same with CopperDawn they would annihilate the poll

[burning-thistles-bt]

She has spotted her future wife

Round of applause for CinderLizard, the bi/lesbian medicine cat couple of the age!

[burning-thistles-bt]

another friendship map! this one of the current (ch.134) apprentice group

SPOILERS! mostly just for one minor plotpoint, which is why i left it in... oh and i guess there’s a more major-ish plotpoint but its a canon plotpoint so eh

characters in some kind of order: Feathercloud, Brackenfur, Cinderpelt, Thornpaw, Brightpaw, Bramblekit, Cliffpaw, Lizardflight, Cloudpaw, Swiftpaw, Tawnykit, Snowkit, Elderpaw, Fernpaw, Tulippaw, Mistlekit, Perchpaw, Ashpaw, Lynxpaw, Dustpelt, Rowanpaw, Lavenderpaw, Reedpaw, Primrosepaw, Swampfur, Turtlepaw, Dawnpaw, Pikepaw, Woodpaw, Blossomtail, Robinpaw, Badgerfang

alright! just like last time, here’s the “main groups” expanded:

Feathercloud’s Friend Group

Cricketheart (sister, deceased), Graystripe (former best friend, former crush), Ravenwing (former mates, crush), Gremlin (distant/former friend), Scraps (distant/former friend), Brackenfur (best friend, crush), Storkpaw (distant friend), Barley (close friend), Airleap (friend), Runningbrook (friend)

Lizardflight’s Friend Group

Cloudpaw (brother), Cliffpaw (adopted sister), Cinderpelt (best friend, crush), Perchpaw (best RiverClan friend), Primrosepaw (friend, crush), Reedpaw (distant friend), Dawnpaw (distant friend), Woodpaw (distant friend), Robinpaw (considers him a friend), Pikepaw (NOT a friend)

Cliffpaw’s Friend Group

Cloudpaw (adopted brother), Lizardflight (adopted sister), Storm (adopted  brother), Night (adopted sister, not close), Oat (adopted brother, not close), Elderpaw (best friend), Fernpaw (friend)

Night’s Friend Group (not on tree)

Storm (brother, former best friend), Cloudpaw (brother, annoyance), Cliffpaw (adopted sister, more tolerable annoyance), Oat (brother), Scourge (mentor, close), Claw (mentor), Gremlin (close friend), Scraps (best friend, crush)

Lynxpaw’s Friend Group

Swiftpaw (brother), Longtail (half-brother), Cherryfur (half-sister, not close), Bramblekit (half-brother, not close), Tawnykit (half-sister, not close), Dustpelt (one-sided best friend, crush), Swampfur (close friend)

notes: Lynxpaw hangs out with Swiftpaw’s friends too, but would consider herself “not really their friend” (she’s a “fake friend” type basically. Swift, Dust, and Swamp are the only ones she cares about)

Swiftpaw’s Friend Group

Lynxpaw (sister), Longtail (half-brother, mentor), Cherryfur (half-sister), Bramblekit (half-brother),  Tawnykit (half-sister), Dustpelt (friend), Brightpaw (best friend),  Ashpaw (close friend), Tulipaw (friend), Thornpaw (distant friend), Fernpaw (distant friend), Swampfur (mate)

Dustpelt’s Friend Group

Ravenwing (brother, not close), Frostfur (sister, formerly close starting to drift), Brindleface (sister), Longtail (half-brother, best friend), Cherryfur (half-sister, not close), Lynxpaw (former best friend, still close friend), Swiftpaw (friend), Darkstripe (mentor, best friend), Ashpaw (apprentice), Fernpaw (friend, crush), Fireheart (growing respect)

Tawnykit’s (future) Friend Group

Bramblekit (brother), Swiftpaw (half-brother), Lynxpaw (half-sister, not close),  Mistlekit (best friend), Snowkit (close friend), Sorrelkit (friend), Sootkit (friend), Rainkit (friend), Elderpaw (distant friend), Fernpaw (distant friend), Lavenderpaw (close friend), Turtlepaw (close friend), Rowanpaw (friend, crush)

She will also possibly be friends with: Rumblepaw, Quietpaw, Cedarpaw, Nightpaw, Wildpaw, Snakekit, Smokekit, Aspenkit, Fangkit

Robinpaw’s Friend Group

Dawnpaw (sister), Woodpaw (brother), Primrosepaw (former close friend, now distant), Perchpaw (close friend, trying to make distant), Reedpaw (former friend, now one-sided rivalry/hatred), Pikepaw (best friend, but not overly close), Lizardflight (hates, crush), Featherkit (jealous), Stormkit (future friend)

notes: Dawnpaw and Woodpaw are a “trouble duo” that stick together at the hip, which often leaves Robinpaw feeling left out. Dawnpaw has a very “silly” personality (hopeless romantic in a tame way, enjoys life for what it is, jokester) and Woodpaw is more mellow/duller (not the brightest bulb but also enjoys life for what it is). Dawnpaw and Woodpaw are both still prone to prejudice (ex.: against Lizardflight), though, like Robinpaw

Badgerfang’s Friend Group

Blossomtail (best friend, mate), Swampfur (friend), Oakfur (distant friend), Applefur (former friend, deceased), Littlecloud (friend)

notes: Badgerfang is very out-going and so is his mate, Blossomtail. The two of them are friends with most every cat in the clan, especially those of the younger generation (ex.: their app-group like Wetfoot, current apprentices like Turtlepaw, or in other clans, like Ravenwing, who Badgerfang met once but thought was cool/nice, or Gorsepaw as well)

Swampfur’s Friend Group

Blossomtail (brother), Oakfur (brother), Applefur (sister, deceased), Badgerfang (friend, growing distant), Lynxpaw (close friend), Swiftpaw (mate)

notes: Swampfur has always had an interest in the cats outside of her clan and their lifestyles, and finds it easier/more interesting to be friends with cats not from her clan (including that of Tigerclaw’s followers). This has also caused her to grow less closer to her family/formerly close friends, due to the secrets she keeps.

Oakfur’s Friend Group (not on tree)

Blossomtail (brother), Swampfur (sister), Applefur (sister, close, deceased), Badgerfang (distant friend), Littlecloud (best friend), Wetfoot (friend), Brownclaw (friend)

notes: Oakfur had been very close with Applefur until she left the clan (then died). He has always been more distant from his family (ex.: Blossomtail, Swampfur, Dawncloud, Copperleaf - of which he is closest to Swampfur) and more willing to get to know Finchflight. He gets along better with the “bad crowd,” and often hangs with Tigerclaw’s followers

Other Friend Groups

WindClan’s Youngest Generation: Gorsepaw, Storkpaw, Quailpaw, Tawnykit II, Robinkit II, Rushkit 

(Storkpaw has friends outside the clans, also close to her mentor’s friend group)

ShadowClan’s Youngest Generation: Turtlepaw, Rubblepaw, Quietpaw, Rowanpaw, Lavenderpaw, Cedarpaw, Nightpaw (formerly Niko), Wildpaw (formerly Wild), Aspenkit, Fangkit, Smokekit, Snakekit

(Turtlepaw is friends with Badgerfang’s friend group; Rowanpaw is more of a loner while Lavenderpaw is welcoming to the newcomers/younger cats)

Bubbles’s Situation: She is growing closer to Tallpoppy over time, and would so far only consider her a friend/ally.

[burning-thistles-bt]

i heard it was the gay month or something? idk have the bisexual storm boys

it's Robinstormfur!!!!! love them they're so funky scrunkly chunky <33

brrr so yeah!! will hopefully do a few more of these but to start us off here's Stormfur (currently Stormpaw) and Robinstorm!!!! you can call their duo/ship name StormRobin, Robinstormfur, or the Storm Boys, any works lol

Stormfur's design may change but I kind of was just going for "fluffy storm cloud" and "Graystripe clone." he's a big boy for sure in my head, but in the BT AU version of him, he probably crouches down and makes himself small a lot more than canon him. Canon him is for sure a lot more confident and outgoing, but here in BT, Lightningfur defo ruined that for him. a commenter i think once pointed out that he and Feathertail had switched places (as canon Feathertail is the one who wanted to leave RiverClan while Stormfur wanted to stay. In BT, it's switched... though, ironically, Feathertail has left RiverClan at this point).

Robinstorm and Stormfur both suffered at the hands (paws) of Lightningfur's misandry and violent temper. while Robinstorm is hopelessly desperate to prove himself, Stormfur is a bit more... pessimistic, believing he's already lost and there's nothing he can do... emo Stormfur arc, anyone?

honestly these guys probably won't have a lot if any spotlight on them

pretty much the only moments we have so far for them is during the Carrionplace battle where they're fighting together and when Stormpaw stops Robinstorm from chasing after Lightningfur and Featherpaw

actually im not quite sure of their dynamic in terms of who has a crush on who first or if they're friends first or what... hmmm... Robinstorm is the kind of guy to have a bunch of crushes (coughtLizardflightcough) and you wOULD think he hates Stormpaw for being "favorited" by Lightningfur but... I think even Robinstorm realizes Featherpaw is the true favorite so all his resentment is solely on her plus its more of a "wow why cant i be as good as her? ill never be as good as her" that comes out as anger.

i imagine after this battle their bonding really begins, especially now that Pikefang, Robinstorm's only ""friend"" (Pikefang did not consider him a friend while Robin thought he was his best friend lol) is dead

[burning-thistles-bt]

Here’s some of the sketches I’ve done ! I’m sending Finch’s separately since I didn’t know if you’d post bloody art or not

Couldn’t find an Oakheart art, so I used mine! He’s short and has a cool mustache

So Far I’ve got Cloudtail, Lizardflight, Scourge, Thistlestar, and BlueOak! (And Finch)

I'm back from my busy weekend lol

Sketchies! I love Cloudtail's floof! And Scourge's poker face! And Oakheart being a flirt lol

[burning-thistles-bt]

Looking at the oldish apprentice friend group chart is so funny because you just randomly see"lizardflight (hates, crush)"

Like,,, bros so down bad it went full circle that they "hate" their crush /j

VJKFJAS YEAH NO ROBINSTORM JUST PRETENDS TO HATE HER

he doesnt actually. like he pretends so hard he's convinced himself he hates her (and in weaker moments he's like "i should hate her why dont i hate her i need to hate her!!")

but yeah no he's down bad for any kind of positive affection </3

[burning-thistles-bt]

Unsure if this has been asked before, but how did you come up with warrior names for Fire's siblings? I find it intrested that Lightningfur's name doesn't have 'moon' in it, considering that Luna means 'moon'. The same also goes for Cooudtail's siblings, how do you come up with names?

well, firesibs would be my idea <3

in my time-travel au, i gave firestar's siblings warrior names based off the elements so they'd match with firestar (Creek=water, Air=air, Lightning=electricity, Copper=metal) and when BT came around Lolling and I decided to not fix what wasn't broken :)

As for cloud+, Lizard sounds a lot like Livy (Lizard's canon name) so we picked that. Nami became Night, and for Zach we settled on Storm. As for Taylor I think we just randomly blurted out Oat and ran with it lol

[burning-thistles-bt]

This last batch consists of mostly things i’ve never ever finished (dont plan on it either:3)

look at thems <3 the sketches are so cool

3!

[burning-thistles-bt]

to lizardflight: how are you holding up in riverclan?

“I won’t lie… I miss my family… a lot. Like, a lot a lot.”

"...but she is so pretty a-and sweet and kind and smart and… I wish I could talk to her more often… its… lonely without her… especially since Primrosepaw left…"
