I need to reread The New Prophecy before I say for sure but Brambleclaw being offered the deputy position and turning it down would’ve been a far more fitting end to his arc upon feeling acceptance within his clan - because the true acceptance was never the rank, it was the family he found.

I really love Brightheart and Jayfeather's dynamic but idk if the Erins weren't ableist then I think it'd be better and make much more sense for Longtail to have trained Jay and Brightheart trained Lionblaze

thinking about Longtail and how badly I wish that character had been like...idk, More relevant.
I think a million people have probably said something like this already but his fight scene with Rusty is so iconic morally dubious as it may be on Bluestar's part that I can't believe that character wasn't slated to become more than a background semi-supportive warrior in firestar's life...why didn't he have a deputy arc!! or just a bigger role in Fireheart's core group, y'know after his first friend group turned out to be Shit.
I think we could have used a more main-cast character with personal emotional ties to Tigerclaw-Darkstripe for when they descended into villainy. Maybe Longtail was still on the fence about them until Swiftpaw got eaten by Tigerstar's dogs. I wish for that angst and anger and betrayal more front and center

does swiftpaw still die in this au?
Swiftpaw's Stand
Tumblr media
“She’s not going to give us our warrior names” he spat, clawing the moss of his bed while the apprentices around him listen, it wasn’t fair, Cloudtail had been an apprentice less then him, Brackenfur and Cinderpelt were younger when they were made apprentice.
And yet, he was still an apprentice, and now Thornpaw and Brightpaw were suffering the same thing he was.
Fernpaw’s tail  flickered, the young apprentice turning her head away “What should we do then? Come up to her and demand your ceremony? ‘Oh mighty Bluestar please spare us a warrior name!’ And! And we approach all demanding, I’m sure that’s a great idea” Ashpaw snickered at her sister’s comment, and he noticed Thornpaw’s gaze moving from him.
“We can only wait, right? Bluestar is old, maybe Fireheart will be leader soon and he’ll give us our warrior names!” Brightpaw tried to smile, lighting up the expressions, but neither one of the apprentices shared her sentiment, a leader like Bluestar, older than any of them, and how many lives were still left with her? It could be until the next New Leaf when they were given names…
“Unless you go around a spit that you don’t believe in Starclan then forget about your names” Ashpaw stretched and yawned, curling around himself dropping on his bed.
Swiftpaw’s gaze returned to his paws, unsheathing and sheathing his claws methodically as he pondered “We could do something brave” He muttered, the three apprentices still listening turned their heads toward him “We find what’s killing the prey, we get rid of it, and she’ll have no choice but to make us warriors” the more he spoke, the more hopeful his words became, louder until they were heard through the den “No one is caring about it! Not Fireheart nor Bluestar, but if we fix it and we prove them we’re brave they’ll have to make us warrior.
‘They’ll have to, right?’
Thornpaw was looking at him like he grew another pair of ears, Fernpaw’s gaze was worried but Brightpaw.
Brightpaw was facing away, her eyes thoughtful,and a small, barely noticeable curve of her mouth as she smiled.
“Snakerock’s” She muttered, jumping onto a fallen log, Swiftpaw followed as well, the rocks were barely visible in the distance, poking themselves from the underbush “Whitestorm is going to kill me tomorrow”
“Longtail too” he agreed, the two apprentices glanced to each other and laughed “But we’ll return warriors”
“...Do you think we can kill it?” she whispered, traitorous and consuming doubt, a flaw Swiftpaw had gotten rid of, there was no space to doubt, not when they were close enough to their goal.
“That or drive it away” his head high, he turns to look at her. Her slightly frightened expression pains his heart for a moment, and he pushes his head against her while purring “I’m your kin, okay? I’m not gonna let anything hurt you Brightpaw, I promise”
“I know” she whispers, returning the purr and closing her eyes “I’m excited, we’ll be warriors Swiftpaw”
“What name would you like?” He jumps down from the log, and waits for her to join her on the ground before resuming their treck towards the rocks “I want something fierce, like, Swiftclaw! Or or, heh, Swiftrock imagine”
Brightpaw laughs, shaking her head “I saw you as a Swiftfrost maybe” she walks faster, now the two of them starting to trot “I would like… Brightheart” he glances at her, his smile softening and nodding.
“Lionheart will be proud” she stops for a moment, her head rising high and nodding before taking off in a sprint towards Snakerocks “Brightpaw! Wait for me!” He calls.
The leaves and bushes hugged his pelt, yet they parted as he chased his friend through it, the only thing visible from where he was was the tip of her tail disappearing into the darkness of the night.
“Brightpaw!” He tripped, biting the dirt and coughing a bit as her tail disappeared to the bushes that hid the rocks “Wait! Come on…” he sighed, standing up, the fur on his neck standing by a chill air, and he stepped through the leaves shaking his head and looking down “I know you’re excited but come on we’re in this toge-”
Head looking up, his body froze as the beast charged towards him jaws open.
“-Swiftpaw… Swiftpaw… Swiftpaw!” it hurt to open his eyes, eye? he gurgled out a pool of blood (unsure how, his neck, he was bleeding, he felt it), with as little strenght as he could his gaze landed on Longtail’s face, his mentor in distressing looking at him, at him? No, his body, Longtail was examining his body, his wounds “We’ll get you to Thunderclan, okay? And Tigerfoot will patch up, just, stay with me okay?”
He was crying, no, not him, Longtail was crying, those were his tears that fell onto his pelt, Swiftpaw wheezed and tried to crawl towards his mentor, but Longtail curled around, sobbing. They would not make it to Thunderclan.
Goldenflower wasn’t here? He hears his mentor deny and it makes him realize he can’t tell if what he’s thinking is actually what he’s saying.
“I got one…” He affirms, visible just beyond the embrace of his friend is the carcass of the beast that did this. Longtail nods, and he whimpers just low enough when the warrior licks his forehead in comfort.
He’s dying.
Dying...
It’s the warmth of being surrounded by his mother’s pelt while he watched Frostfur’s newly born kits suckle beside their mother’s belly, it’s the warmth of sleeping in a pile with all of his kin and friends because he was their protector, the oldest, he was supposed to be there and help them.
“Brightpaw… Brightpaw was hurt” Longtail is telling him they got her, they were rushing her to Thunderclan… 
Good… At least she was safe...
You're dying Swiftpaw.
He's dying without a name. Without a mother beside him, without his friends to whisper memories, but at least one cat to mourn him...
That's enough, one cat is enough for him, he always liked Longtail, there was no other mentor he would rather have, but he wished there was another apprentice the other could've had... One that wasn't foolish like him. One that he would mentor to warriorhood, unlike him.
The shape infront of him is a shape that looks like a cat, but he's unsure, it's small and with a pelt covered of stars... no, she's bigger, she's a warrior with tuft of furs and big, with kind eyes and familiar face... was that Lynxkit?
You did good.
She sounds like Goldenflower, he's crying, he feels his heart beating, he doesn't want to die, he clings to Longtail and wheezes, claws digging into a golden pelt as he feels his body be carried, Lynxkit is following him.
You can close your eyes, you can sleep.
He's holding his eye open with all the strenght he can muster, he's creaming, the pain is burning him, the fangs are piercing his flesh.
Oh Swiftpaw...
He's dropped as gently as they can into a bed, there are shouts muffled by the body of his sister standing above him.
You'll be a warrior in Starclan, because you did good, you fought, you won! You saved Brightpaw you can rest.
From the corner of his eye, he watches as Cinderpelt busily works her sister's wounds, he feels large paws pressing the cobwebs onto his wounds and he screams from the pain.
Dying is the comfort of kithood and the thrill of being a warrior.
He can't let Brightpaw go through it alone, he won't abandon her, he can't.
Lynxkit stares at him, and she's just as small as she would be the time she died, she puts her paws on his muzzle and smiles, pressing her head to him the same way he did to Brightpaw, to her siblings, the same way her mother would do, in a way she told him his father had done to her many moons ago.
I'll wait once you're ready little brother, I'll be waiting.
He blinks for a moment, the pain is present, but she's gone, and with pain he goes to sleep, breathing, alive.

Sorry I would love for you to explain all of your rare pairs. I love deep warrior cats thoughts pls if you want to do so
ThornRat (Thornclaw x Ratscar) Dark Forest trainee pairing. They're also both old enough to remember the Old Forest . The whole dynamic I have in mind is Thornclaw being rather oblivious to his sexuality and also being a huge fucking hypocrite (he's one of the more conservative warriors of TC, ironically). Ultimately his relationship with Ratscar, if you can even call it one, is doomed from the start and Ratscar is stuck yearning for someone that's not worth pursuing for multiple reasons.
BrambleFern (Bramblepaw x Fernpaw) I specify -paw because I see them as a bit of a tragic pairing where it doesn't end up working out because Dustpelt swoops right in and inserts himself in Bramblepaw's place. Also, in the context of my rewrite, Brambleclaw is the one to run away to ShadowClan instead of Tawnypelt so whatever spark he and Fernpaw had going never gets to go anywhere. I imagine they're still friends but have some moments of 'what if' every now and then.
BrindleFlint (Brindleface x Flintfang) Honestly I just wanted to give Ashfur and Ferncloud a father that already existed in the series and also didn't fuck up the family tree any more than it already is. I think I got this idea from someone else but I can't exactly remember who - but it's a very interesting concept considering the events of the first arc and how Flintfang was still alive for the events that happened (according to Tigerstar's Fury and Blackfoot's Reckoning). I headcanon that Ferncloud is named after her aunt Fernshade, too. Additionally, in the anthro AU, their story is a lot sadder but that's another story...
LongWind (Longtail x Runningwind) Childhood friends to almost-lovers! They're around the same age and would've definitely trained together. As mentioned in my HalfOne family tree post, they had a budding interest but it was cut short by Runningwind's death. Sad :(
IvyBreeze (Ivypool x Breezepelt) This one is just funny. "You wanna kiss me so bad it makes you look stupid" kind of shit. Breezepelt would be fucking fuming over it because he doesn't want to be like his dad.
HalfDove (Half Moon x Dove's Wing) Another one that's mostly in the context of my rewrite! I'm imagining it's very one-sided since I also love HalfJay, but it's a very complicated thing where Jay's Wing is very focused on saving their colony and too scatterbrained to really put any serious commitment to Half Moon (something he tells her explicitly, but she pursues anyways). Dove's Wing is embarrassed of her crush and knows it was never meant to be, not only because she's a prophecy cat but also because Half Moon doesn't even like her that way.
IceApple (Icewing x Applefur) Another Dark Forest Trainee pairing! I have a lot of these because I got attached to them. Not my only Applefur ship but certainly one that's kinda fun to think about. I don't have much to say about these two sadly but I thought it was a cute idea that I could maybe build off of later.
MinnowMouse (Minnowtail x Mousewhisker) I don't actually think this one is that much of a rare pair, I've seen a lot of ppl talk about this but I was kinda running out of ideas since there's a lot of characters idgaf about sorry LOL anyways this one is based on a scene in Dark River and the fact they were both Dark Forest trainees in their adulthood.

@moons-among-distant-stars
Posting WHIM today but i just read over one of your questions and it’s smth like what wing shape does Siffrin have n stuff. So!! I shall answer your questions!!
Siffrin’s wings are kind of, like, longtailed-tit shaped? So they look like this to an extent, excluding the colors?
Tumblr media
Siffrin is flightless, since his wings are too small to fly. This is due to a birth defect he has, permanently stunting his wing growth, making them abnormally sized.
Due to this, Siffrin often hides their wings, ashamed of the fact that they are essentially useless. The rest of the party have caught on to this insecurity, so they often try to help him feel better about their wings.
And because i have the opportunity, I’m gonna yap ab Euphrasie and The King’s wings too as much as i can without spoiling anything 💀
EUPHRASIE! My girl! She’s got snowy owl wings!! They look like this, wing shape and color!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Unlike Siffrin, her wings are normal. She can fly using them. I don’t have much to say about her wings LOL.
The King! The closest bird I know of that I can think of that represents his wings most in terms of shape is the harpy eagle.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
As for colors, his wings are near identical to Siffrin’s. In both his Craft-powered form (before Mira freezes him in time in act 5), and his form that he takes when he’s frozen in time, his wings are massive.
I FORGOT ABOUT LOOP SO IM GONNA YAP AB LOOP TOO. Their wings (human form) are shaped like a pygmy falcon’s, except bigger.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(look at the lil pygmy falcon awwwwuhgghhdss its so cute…)
In their star form, their wings are shaped kind of like a bat’s! I say kind of because i ngl can’t draw bat wings so i lean more toward dragon-esc but whatever floats your boat. Bat, dragon, the wing shape’s pretty similar.
Patterns on wings are oftentimes a mix of each parent’s. Of course this is excluding physical mutations such as albinism.
maybe one day i will draw every Islander’s wings….. maybe… IF YOU WANT ME TO COVER ISLANDER SIDE CHARACTERS IN THE OTC PREQUEL LET ME KNOW CUZ THERE ARE ISLANDER SIDE CHARACTERS IN THE PREQUEL AND I HAVE SO MANY IDEAS FOR THEM…. Ughghghgf Magnolia and Wolfe especially i love them both SOSOSOSOSOOOOO MUCH!!1!1!1!!

Sorry to send an ask about it but I do genuinely find it fascinating how the books treat disability ( fascinating in a bad way )
Like, it /is/ cannon that Deadfoot is proud of his name, and in AUs or rewrites ( like Bonefalls wc universe where Deadfoot is named after their fighting style and disabilities and scars are not the end of a cats life but rather a sign of pride or just something about you ) that's fine, but in the canon material where Snowkit dies to a Hawk ( something that never happens again ) or Briarlight dies to illness randomly, or Brightheart is seen as a " second med cat/med cat assistant ", or Longtail has to retire bc he was blinded, or Jayfeather is shown to be worse at everything his able bodied siblings can do and just /has/ to be a med cat bc of it, or- ok you get it.
Like you pointed out, Cinderpaw is told she can NEVER be a warrior with her injury, yet here's this proud older DEPUTY right across the border doing all that warrior stuff she was told she could never do. And maybe it's bc Deadfoot was born with his disability vs Cinderpelt gaining hers but??? Idk the writing team is wack in so many ways but their portrayal of disabilities has always been odd ( again, in a bad way )
no yeah it's incredibly bizarre to me as well because in Fire and Ice (the book where Deadfoot and Cinderpaw are introduced properly), Fireheart has a positive relationship with Deadfoot and i think it's a disappointingly missed opportunity for Fireheart to mention Deadfoot to Cinderpaw while she was in recovery (especially since he spent most of the book feeling like shit and blaming himself for her accident + Cinderpaw herself was convinced she was useless to her Clan now).
the Erins had such a cool chance of uplifting their disabled audience by having Fireheart and Cinderpaw fight for her right to continue training as a warrior by using Deadfoot as an example instead of just believing Yellowfang at her word especially given the background Yellowfang is from where ShadowClan (at least under Brokenstar's rule) was obsessed with their ideals of strength and (maybe this is my bias towards Yellowfang pre-death) perhaps she internalized her desire to protect those who could be considered worthless by making them become a healer instead to avoid a possibly crueler treatment from her experience (i.e. overworking/overtraining a cat past their capabilities to the point of death)

hii i'm mod velvet
they/them, adult
I used CatGen to create custom moooostly canon accurate ThunderClan in ClanGen. This ClanGen takes place right after the battle with BloodClan, the moon Squirrelkit and Leafkit are born. Old faces like Firestar and Cinderpelt are back with their clanmates, along with Ravenpaw, Barley, Princess and Smudge outside the clans (and some StarClan and Dark Forest Spirits!) . There's a lot of canon divergence, including cats that were omitted entirely and some timeline tweaks, which are detailed below cut. Some cats I added for funsies; this ThunderClan includes a spared Scourge grappling with his actions, Swiftpaw, and Snowkit!
Allegiances Save File Editing Guide
Omitted Cats:
General Note: A lot of cats who were dead before the events of The Prophecies Begin are not here. I'd honestly love to add more guys into StarClan and probably will, but the absurd amount of Unsavory Relationships created by the gnarled family trees of early Warrior Cats would literally make the game less fun. So a lot of cats like Redtail and Spottedleaf or Lionheart do not have parents coded into the game, and minus Thunderstar and Jake, no cats from before TPB are in StarClan. Maybe one day I'll make a living document custom ThunderClanGen, but this is just for fun, and so I'd like to steer away from that. The other clans are present, as in RiverClan, ShadowClan, and WindClan Exist in the Game, but since ClanGen only allows you to toggle the allegiances for one clan plus cats outside the clans, their warriors aren't coded into the game. This (unfortunately) includes Tawnypaw.
This is an entirely self indulgent AU and so a few cats who I just straight up don't like aren't here. Some cats didn't make it because I wanted to keep the roster small. The following list of cats are cats who were alive during the time this is occurring, but were omitted from ThunderClan:
Bramblepaw, Ashpaw, Dustpelt, One-Eye, Dappletail
"Revived" Characters: (canon names are italicized)
Swiftstride (Swiftpaw), Snowpaw (Snowkit), Frostpaw (Scourge)
Timeline Changes:
Longtail was blinded in the battle against BloodClan. This is so I don't have to go in and mess with code moons into the Gen and possibly mess things up/corrupt the entire file. I also didn't want to create a situation where he never goes blind - he is a canonically disabled character and I'm not going to leave it up to a coinflip/rng to honor that.
Sandstorm is deputy of ThunderClan, chosen after Whitestorm's death in the BloodClan Battle. Greystripe never occupies the position.
Snowpaw (Snowkit) is training to be a warrior. He is apprenticed to Sandstorm.
Swiftstride (Swiftpaw) survived the dog attack, sustaining many severe wounds including a lost leg.
Cultural/Canon Changes:
Cats who are disabled can decide on their role in the clan. Longtail remains a warrior after being blinded. Snowpaw eagerly pursues the path of a warrior. Cinderpelt isn't forced to become a medic. Her chronic pain and injury makes warriorhood difficult to pursue, and her time spent recovering in the medic's den with Yellowfang foster a love for healing. Both of these things inform her own choice to be a medic. As a person who has recently had to scale back on or entirely quit major passions of mine because of my own chronic pain, this story line means a lot to me. Sometimes our disabilities do keep us from walking the path in life we want, and that's okay - we can still find happiness and fulfillment just like Cinderpelt.
Queens can become deputies/leaders and leaders/deputies can have kits without being expected to give up their positions.
