#naruto warrior cats crossover

[hollythemage]

I'm thinking about writing a fic where instead of committing the Uchiha Massacre, Itachi just grabs Sasuke and Naruto and leaves Konoha so that neither of them can be used by his clan or the village in the ensuing conflict (thus thwarting any plans of using the NineTailed Fox in the revolution).

He goes to Neko-baa-chan (Granny Cat) and asks her for advice on where he can raise two kids on the down low for a while and evade detection by the hidden villages. Granny Cat suggests that they could disguise themselves as cats and live with the neko-nin for a while, but Itachi is worried about information getting around in the neko-nin rumor mill about them, and the possiblity of that information getting around to shinobi who work with them, such as those in his clan. So Granny Cat is like "well there's this one feral cat colony in the woods that rarely has any contact with shinobi. You could probably join them."

Itachi thanks her for the advice and for welcoming him and the kids on such short notice, and Granny Cat remarks that it's ironic for him to say such a thing since he's still just a kid himself. She also gives them the special cat ears that allow them to blend in.

Unlike in the anime, this version of the cat ears actually have fuuinjutsu seals that, when activated, cause the wearer to physically transform into a cat similar to the way members of the Inuzuka clan can use a transformation jutsu to turn into their Nin-ken companions. It can only be de-activated and removed by the wearer themselves, so there's no danger of them being knocked off or anything by accident.

The three of them spend the night in Sora-ku and then leave to go join the cat colony the next day. The feral neko-nin accept them into their group and they begin their new lives in the woods together.

If you think this is a cute little fix it fic where everything is fluffy and adorable then I'm sorry to disappoint you because this is actually a Warrior Cats crossover and despite being rated for kids like 7 and up that series has moments that are as brutal as Naruto sometimes.

I'm not exaggerating. There's a scene where this one antagonist is like "Yeah I murdered those children and framed their adult sister to get her exiled from our clan because she kept questioning my authority. What of it?" And you can just hear their mother start wailing in the background.

So yeah, Itachi basically goes into this thinking that Naruto and Sasuke will be safer in the woods living among the cats, and tries to join ThunderClan, but then almost immediately realizes that these cats are just as violent and there are just as many covert power struggles going on here as there were in Konoha, but it's too late to back out now and at least this place has code of honor with rules forbidding the use of child soldiers, unlike the hidden villages. It doesn't stop kittens from dropping like flies due to predators like hawks and foxes or stop them from dying of disease or starvation but hey, it's something.

I know that this entire concept probably comes off as being cringy as hell even to people who are interested in both Naruto and Warriors but it is something that I enjoy writing and anyone is free to either enjoy it or not depending on whether it's their cup of tea.

Hey man, your friend looks fucked up

[dykedara]

Naruto x Warriors designs! My faves as warrior cats!

Okay I came up with names for them, too! Naruto is an orange cat with wild fur and a fox-like tail. His name is Foxspirit (Foxkit at birth, foxpaw as an apprentice).

Sakura is pink because I said so. Her name is Cherryblossom (Cherrykit at birth, Cherrypaw as an apprentice)

Sasuke is the one who has a dark stripe down his back and his name is Lostcrow (crowkit at birth, crowpaw as an apprentice. Changed his own name as a loner)

Hinata is blue and shy looking of course. Her name is Clearsight (Clearkit at birth, Clearpaw as an apprentice) and I had so much fun drawing her especially

The black scary looking cat with the whiskers is Itachi. His name in this AU is Red (Redkit at birth, Redpaw as an apprentice, Redeyes as a warrior before joining the Akatsuki who are basically just Bloodclan in this AU so they all get the badass collars)

The blond with the bangs is obviously Deidara he's got longer fur and he's lanky as Hell. His name in this AU is Clay, and nobody knows what his name was before.

[tameila]

Was kindly tagged by @belphegor1982 to participate in this 20 questions for writers trend! thanks for the tag! 💕 tags for anyone who sees this and wants to take a whack at it. tag me in your responses, if you do!

How many works do you have on AO3?

I have 10 works on ao3 with plenty of little one-shots posted here on tumblr and at least triple that many WIPs lmao

What's your total AO3 word count?

My current ao3 word count is 165,375 words. TSAR is responsible for, like, 70% of that word count.

What fandoms do you write for?

On ao3, I've only posted for Critical Role, and I do not foresee that changing, but who knows! Before Critical Role, I never really saw myself as a writer that posted on public forums, and it's not as if I haven't entertained and dabbled in other fandoms.

Overall, including collaborative writing/roleplaying, I have written for Warriors (yes, the cat books), Bleach, Naruto, Hetalia (im sorry you have to learn this about me), Glee, Dragon Age, and Digimon.

What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

The Sun Always Rises (550 kudos), multichaptered modern AU Pikelan

give my regards to soul and romance (186 kudos), one-shot based in @jabletown's rejoice AU, Pikelan with Dadlan and Pike & Kaylie bonding

le petit encore (145 kudos), my mediocre TSAR 'verse smut fic. every time it gets another kudos i am pushed closer and closer to continuing my smut WIPs because i swear!! i promise!! i can write better smut!...but i am rather proud of this piece because it was my first serious foray into the world of smut and i gotta recognize my own hustle lol

As Easy as Riding a Bicycle (113 kudos), modern AU/college-aged Pikelan, Pike's bike gets stolen and she turns to a dating app to try and find it and finds love instead. super love this piece. everyone should read it and give it more kudos so it can be my third most kudo'd piece teehee

TLC is a Two-Way Street (104 kudos), TSAR 'verse, Pikelan, Pike looks after Scanlan while he is sick

Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

Yes, yes, yes! Even as I free myself from the shackles of needing that validation and feeling discouraged if I don't reach some arbitrary number of engagement, I cannot deny that comments are inspiration and writing fuel. So, when I get a comment, I think it's the least that I can do to respond, even if it's just to say thanks.

I am definitely guilty of sitting on comments that make me particularly happy for weeks on end before actually remembering to respond tho

What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

the things we know and the things we wish they knew, which was my first CR fanfic and written in response to ep 85 iykyk

What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

I mean, it's gotta be The Sun Always Rises

Do you get hate on fics?

No, thankfully not!

Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

As mentioned previously, I only really have one serious smut fic, though I have written a couple other bits and bobs....and maybe I have a couple WIPs that may or may not see the light of day. I'm not sure what kinds of smut there are...but I guess I would describe my approach to smut as 'I am a sex-repulsed asexual and idk what's really going on here but I'm here to express closeness and intimacy and love in this strange new world' lol

Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?

If we're talking crossovers in the sense that characters from two separate fictional stories meet and interact, I have written in roleplays back in middle school like that but never explored the concept in fanfic.

If crossovers also includes taking the concept of one fictional media and inserting the characters of another into it (e.g., Hogwarts AU or HDM AU) then I've definitely written and have plans for various fanfics like that. I don't think that I have any that I would consider "crazy", but I do think my brief notes and writings for a OTGW-inspired Nygmobblepot/Riddlebird fic were v inspired.

Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I know of and hopefully not! Very little gets posted in the Pikelan fandom that I don't see, so I like to think I'd be hard to pull a fast one on

Have you ever had a fic translated?

Not yet, but I would love to see The Sun Always Rises translated into other languages someday!

Have you ever co-written a fic before?

I've entertained a couple co-written fics that have unfortunately never gotten off the ground much, but I'm not closed off to the idea. I see it as being quite similar to roleplaying!

What's your all-time favorite ship?

Oof. As a lifetime shipper, that's a tough question. I never truly let go of a ship, even after I've moved on from a fandom, but there are definitely some that are far more enduring in my heart than others.

Of course, if we're going off of writing alone than it's Pikelan. Writing TSAR got me through some of the hardest years of my life and, despite what's become of them and what I'm forced to endure by continuing to engage in the fandom space, they're special to me in a way that a lot of other ships can never be, no matter how much I love 'em.

Also, in the case of writing, FenHawke. selfishly, of course, Fenris with my Hawke. I love writing for them, and I consider the pieces that I've written for them to be amongst my best. They're the Dragon Age ship for me.

What's the WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

.....[shamefully hangs head] A-Side and B-Side, the sequels to TSAR. I'm gonna keep writing them for as long as I am able but, if there ever comes a day that I post an update and get zero engagement, then I think I'll just have to move on. but! if even one person keeps coming along for the ride, then I'll stick to 'em. I just don't know if there's anyone who loves my writing enough to stick around for, like, another 5 years lol

The other big one is Vex's Delivery Service...which is exactly what it sounds like. A Kiki's Delivery Service inspired AU but it's about Vex. though truly, it's a thinly veiled excuse to write about domestic Pikelan is what it is. I have the whole thing planned out. I just can't ever seem to get it off the ground and, at this point, with the way I'm halfway out of the CR fandom, I don't think I ever will.

What are your writing strengths?

I have been extremely lucky to have been complimented on multiple facets of my writing over the years. However, I think what I pride in myself the most is my ability to let each scene breathe and take its time. It means that I take forever to write and nothing's ever short, but I don't think I would like writing quite as much if I wasn't allowed to let each moment have its breathing space.

What are your writing weaknesses?

It's a bit of an oddball pick maybe, but it's something that I feel like I have to own up to as a notorious modern AU writer:

People say that modern AUs are uninspired and boring, especially when you're taking characters out of a magical fictional world just to put them into our world and....the rumor's are true. I just don't get that into the lore of a fictional universe to ever feel comfortable writing in it. I do just find it easier to write everyone as humans in a modern-esque society. Now, I will stand by the fact that part of the fun of modern AUs is taking these magical characters and interpreting into a modern space (I often do the opposite with modern era characters into a fantasy world of my own design), but I just want to fully own up to the fact that...yes, I am too lazy to research the intricacies of canon in order to write a proper canon compliant/adjacent fic.

Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

I think it has it's place.

For me, if it's a language that the POV character understands/that the reader should understand alongside the POV character, then there's no reason to write it in that language. Simply include a dialogue tag to explain what language the character was speaking in. and I say this mostly from a logistical/ease of reading standpoint. Having to scroll down to the bottom of a fic or switch to a separate tab with the translations interrupts the flow of reading.

If, however, the language is included, untranslated, to reflect the POV character's own lack of knowledge of the language then that makes more sense. because you, as the reader, are meant to keep reading at the same level of understanding as the POV character and there's no pressure to be rushing for a translation just to make sure you're not missing an important line of dialogue.

but of course, as with most things, it's writer's choice!

First fandom you wrote for?

Warriors, probably...maybe Hamtaro. I definitely read fanfic for it and had my little daydream musings, but I don't think I wrote anything down.

Favorite fic you've ever written?

Oooh, we talkin' fic fic? That's long gone, and it's up in the air which of those many early fandoms that it was for.

If we're talking that's readily available on ao3, then my first was the things we know and the things we wish they knew. though, I was writing and posting Dragon Age one-shots on tumblr before that one.

Coming back because, for some reason, I misread this question as what was the first fic I'd ever written lol. Obviously, the answer to favorite is The Sun Always Rises.

The Great Grand Library's 2023 Record

I decided to look back upon all the fics I read in 2023 and compiled them into a list.

Format: Score/10: Title [Author] [Fandom] [Misc].

The scores are a snappy enumeration of my personal rating system. 2/10 means I read for some amount before putting it on hold and theoretically might someday give it another shot but eh, 4/10 means I'm much more likely to give it another shot, 6/10 means I read through all the chapters that was there at the time and enjoyed my time aplenty, 8/10 means I enjoyed it even more, and 10/10 means I enjoyed it so much they're a contender for being among my favorite fics of all time.

Only a small percentage of what are 2/10 are included in this list, so this list isn't bloated by fics that my feelings about are mostly summarised as "eh". Consider them a honorable mentions.

If it's not a fanfic but instead an original work, it will use [Original].

Misc tags: [SI] Self-Insert, [Multi-SI] Multiple Self-Inserts, [FI] Friend-Insert, [OC] Original Character, [Crossover] Crossover which expands as the work goes on, [NSFW] Probably something I got from QuestionableQuesting, [<100k] Less than 100k words long.

If you find anything wrong with the list, like wrong links or a typo somewhere, feel free to let me know.

[ofdarkestdesires]

So, I don't know how many of you know this little bit of lore about me, but for quite a few years, I was a pretty avid fanfic writer over on FFN. I know, shocking, the 27 year old who writes pretty decent smut fic on tumblr has been writing fanfic for a. long. time. But for a long time, FFN was my Tumblr, a safe haven into fantasy, and a doorway into fanfiction.

Now, something that might surprise anyone who follows my content is that I am actually not a big fan of Naruto—I watched the original series as a kid with my sisters when it ran on Cartoon Network, I watched a bit of Shippuden when it started out, and I read some arcs by reading the shonen jump issues my high school library had, but that was it.

However, I was obsessed with Naruto fanfiction. In fact, if I can impart anything to you, it is to go over to FFN and look up Outfoxed and Drifting—these are two of the best Naruto fanfics out there. The first is basically "what if Naruto met Kurama when he was six instead of when he was twelve" but is actually "what if the abuse and hatred from the village was so horrible it forced a four year old to attempt suicide multiple times until his surrogate grandfather stepped in and put good people in his life to turn him around", while the other is "what if Naruto's only friends were monkeys and they taught him how to be sort of a prodigy and he befriends the redhaired flute girl before Orochimaru can get his claws in her". Both are very good, very compelling, very well-written fanfictions, and while Outfoxed hasn't been updated in years, Drifting is, I'm pretty sure, either still going or complete.

But neither of those are the fanfiction I wanted to talk about today. Today, I want to talk about True Warriors Never Die.

True Warriors Never Die is a Naruto x Bleach crossover fanfiction by Kenchi618, an amazing Naruto fanfictioneer who wrote another of my favorite Naruto fanfictions, The Sealed Kunai. TWND is the story of Naruto, now several thousand years old as a last gift from Kurama, in modern-day Japan during the events of Bleach. During his first day in Karakura Town, Ichigo and Uryuu have their dick-measuring contest of who can defeat the most Hollows, and god-tier Naruto Uzumaki is the one to roll up and casually out-punch the skyscraper-tall Menos Grande. At the end of the day, cat-Yoruichi pops into his new place and offers to be his guide through the inner workings of the Soul Society, and then promptly flashes him in her human form as she goes to take a shower. Which, if you know me, is already a win in my book.

Now, TWND isn't the best written fanfic—in fact, of Kenchi618's works, I'd argue The Sealed Kunai is better, especially since it's actually complete—but what TWND has that The Sealed Kunai doesn't is ANTICS. Like I said, the first chapter ends with the second hottest woman from Bleach flashing Naruto—this isn't a serious fanfic. And because of that, it's allowed to make more ridiculous situations happen—like the fact that Naruto isn't the only person from his time that's still around. Over the course of the fanfic, Naruto slowly builds up an Avengers team of ultimate warriors who, by some means, managed to survive until the events of Bleach, which he then turns around and unleashes on Aizen and his allies. I don't want to spoil too much about it other than I already have, but suffice to say, if you like whacky antics in your fanfics, this is the one for you.

...and Drifting. And Outfoxed. And The Sealed Ku—y'know what, no, go and read all of these, because they're fucking fun, wild, traumatic, and good goddamn reads with unique and original stories all around!

...

FF14 Heavensward notes

Took me a month to realize its Heavensward not Heaven-sword.

I’ve given up on crafting/gathering classes. I don’t intend to keep playing after finishing the story in all the expansions and I don’t want to invest the time to level. Its getting tempting already to just watch the cutscenes for other classes instead of leveling them 

Its also nice to decide to not care about transmog hunting or saving items for glamours unless I know I’ll use them. When I played WoW during Legion I invested a lot of effort in glamorous and now I don’t even play that game.

 It took 5 months to get through HW, so in post expansion patches I gave up and looked up major Shadowbrings spoilers because I wanted to know why Greek gods are in this game? Ppl were talking about hades and I was wondering if it was a crossover with Hadesgame, but no it’s the same dude who shoots the cat boy who shows up whenever I look up anything about Garleans or Ascians. I can see why he’s so popular he’s peak “poor little meow meow” 

So know I know the overall shadowbringers plot directly related to skunk hair asshole and warriors of darkness so its nice that I’m not totally lost on cosmic lore 

Main Quest

Oh wow voice actor budget went up, and Alphinaud got a new voice actor who sounds bland

Ishgard is a very weirdy scaled city, everything is so tall and vaguely gothic and all the clothing fashion dates to late middle ages with Hennins and Henry the 8th style fur coats

Oh nice that we get choice in dialogue and can be sympathetic towards Iceheart. That she has the echo, is she like our narrative foil?

Haurchefant really is a bro, saving me from an escort quest then supporting me during trial by combat

Back to main storyline, time to go fight all those Crystal Braves we trained. A based plotline would have the message “this is why PMCs are bad”

Its really hard to judge Ilberd’s  “you’re being used as a pawn just like me” when like i have no idea of the stakes of the conflict I’m involved in, but I do feel like a pawn in the Dragon vs Catholic snow elf war. Also his accent in voiced dialogue took me by surprise

Told Auphinad “why don't we just leave?”, and i know it doesn’t change anything but i like to pretend thats why we are going to see Iceheart

We get to call Iceheart Ysayle now, which is great that we can travel with her

Breaking into the Hive quest is the worst quest yet, like holy shit it fucking sucks with how easy it is to pull too much aggro and how trash White Mage is at doing damage

Ysayle is the best part of this expansion, road-tripping with her

Heavansword makes the whole Primal summoning super interesting, if the dragon is to be believed summoning not the actual god but your biased perception of one. (After looking up spoilers guess all gods are fake lmao)

 Wow Ysayle having a crisis of faith and we just leave her there…..

So glad Lolorito gets voice lines as he explains his plans. What a smug conniving asshole, he's the most engaging antagonist yet and its been 1 conversation. Ilberd still asshole but barely not as bad as i thought that he supported a bloodless coup to get resources for his home country rebellion against the Empire. Sucks that I guess he’s being cast away as a political pawn

Whats the irl equivalent here for the Crystal Braves and them being used as a tool in a coup? They’re obviously a PMC but I guess the Syndicate plants was just a hostile takeover

Wow so the big twist were the Dragon brothers were swapping along eyes like its Naruto

Nice to see Estinien and Ysale team up since it seems the war was founded on bullshit, and just kept going by the Elf catholics trying to gain more power

The moment where my friend and I pause to talk about how attractive Hilda is. All that leather and those boots, its that feeling where I’m both attracted to her and envious because I want to look like her but that leather look is a lot harder to pull off irl

RIP TO Haurchefant, my favorite snow elf dude. “A smile better suits a hero” I’m gonna burn this whole ass church down, actually a very tragic death 

Like I am trying to follow the story and the characters but somehow the way it was presented and that I only play a few hours a week I didnt realize Fortemps and Haurchefant were related until the father was literally sobbing and saying son

WHYS THE EMPIRE HERE? WHATS ALLAG? WHAT HAPPENED TO THE DRAGONS AND YSALE? Like she seemed to be dropped from the story. Varis zos Galvus, I want to look him up but the wiki is full of spoilers :(

Fool me once with Nero in the Crystal tower shame on me. Fool me twice, Lucia is a Garlean that’s it time to be suspicious of anyone with any sort of bangs or headband

Y'shtola is back, the expansion has gotten better, and she has a nice outfit upgrade

Hilda is back again as we say goodbye to all the characters, wish she had been in more quests 

Ysayle heroically sacrificing herself for us, sad to see it happen and fuck the empire 

Doing Heavensword dungeon: I thought we had killed Lahabrea. My friend: somehow Lahabrea has returned

The part where the pope-king transforms, its comical how ginormous he becomes

Estinien becoming Nidhogg has been the most interesting thing for his character. I know he and Alymeric are fan favorites are fan favorites but I’m meh about them 

Are the ascians on the fucking moon?! Was this a much bigger reveal pre-Endwalker and all the moon's haunted memes?

“Warrior of Darkness” looks like bog standard scruffy dude video game protagonist. Is he meant to look like the generic scruffy guy from the marketing?

Great to see Thancred back again in a cool new outfit plus eyepatch! Lmao he emerged from the livestream bucknaked!

Aymeric is just fucking stabbed in the street! Drama

The rescue the hostages mission was the worst mission in a while, super long and really slow as WHM as it doesn’t let you heal the NPC way through

I don’t fucking trust Unukalhai because they’re wearing a mask, and I don’t trust Urianger because he wasn’t running around Ishgard with us (aside from the Ascian cutscenes the player sees)

Don’t think we’ll be getting Minfilia back from being bonded with the Mother Earth Crystal Spirit. Especially if she wants us to kill all ascians, have we never not been in a “holy war” aside from fighting the Empire? (Having looked up spoilers lmao)

Alphinaud’s really going through it 

Aymeric is asking us out for a drink, shame I’m meh about him

I didn’t like Emmanellain and that was before he ordered a protestor shot and killed. Punching Thancred while whining is like point of no return for like-ability

FUCK this grand melee, have to do this long ass fight over again because my healer can’t burst down the boss before he casts the party wipe spell.  He still cast it again on Very Easy but atleast it didn’t kill me

Can’t believe we just toss the eyes into the abyss and don’t do anything to destroy them. Lord of the Rings style i expect these to reappear since there was no volcano. LMAO less than an hour later and there’s some going to get those eyes

Aymeric wants a dinner date with the player, sorry buddy but your not my type

Rip to the scions but the Warriors of Darkness party has better fashion

Tragic backstory, LMAO alphinaud was just like “would your plan even work?“ and they’re like “uuuhh enough talking”. Somehow Uriangar with a bandanna over his face is perfectly disguised, from everyone but the player. Like its been years of IRL experience wearing masks that covering just the bottom of your face doesn’t stop people from recognizing you

Excited to finally see Yda and Papalymo

Urianger is such an over dramatic asshole (complementary)

The warriors of darkness are pretty sympathetic

So Lahabrea and Igeyorhm got sucked into the eyes and are still there? I guess Elbidius didn’t care to get them out, or couldn’t? Even spoilered on a bunch of Ascian lore I’m still confused 

Baelsar’s Wall dungeon: i liked Ilberd as an asshole character right until the mechanically complex fight where he went “sloooppppy” every 15 seconds. ╰（‵□′）╯

Nero shows up talking about Omega, congrats to you Mr 2nd Place Pathetic Loserman

Very relieved Yda takes off her mask and she isn’t a Garlean

Side Quests

The Dark Knight quest feels very edgy in a fun way, especially when Fray’s eyes glow red. At first I was like "oh dark knight like batman" then I realized edgier and more like Konrad Curze. Shame the class starts at lvl 30 it seems cool thematically and I do love wielding a giant 2h sword but I don’t want to level this class right now

I unlocked Red Mage, I like the style of it but there are a lot of buttons. The tumblr infographic was actually really helpful and I now enjoy playing it

I thought WHM was questline was boring, but now after doing the final lvl 60 quest I just hate it. It took me 10 min running around the caves to find the right spot and then it was just healing a dragon (flashbacks to healing a tree)

I love the Dancer outfit but the class abilities and playstile are super confusing

Doing the gunbreaker quest, and there are tiger-men? (Radovan) like my character is a human who has cat traits but this is more on the furry side where the tiger has human qualities

[sunnyshoress]

Working on something else bigger, but here, hands you an extra spicy Whirlkit in this trying time

[mud-castle]

THUNDERCLAN ABSOLUTELY HAS WARPAINT. It's tradition for mentors to paint up their apprentices with bright colors so they can keep track of them, and it makes them all harder to distinguish to outsiders too (which means it's also harder to hold a grudge)!

AND YOU. YOU GET IT.

One of the ideas I had about warrior cats is that when a warrior isn't keen on fighting, they basically become scholars/keep up with clan history, help out the medicine cat, keep track of predators and get intense with figuring out new moves and learning history AND crafting more dyes and stuff for warriors! They also help out queens and kits when they can, because everyone has to have a part in the clans.

I like the fantasy part more than the realism in warriors, so yeah- I also had the thought of leader's being stripped of their lives if they step down or are declared... unsound (cough book 4 bluestar, LEOPARDSTAR) so that way the next leaders don't have to manage with only 8 lives. (staring at Sunstar and Pinestar)

Thunderclan actually trains in trees, and have stronger legs + hooked claws too- Riverclan purposefully lures cats into rivers to trip 'em up too-

In the crossover aspect of this, this means that my cats can do kinda magic (but only when specifically taught, and it's more... passive I think, and yeah-) because. Naruto. Chakra. (also clans start sending diplomats over and also start sending SPIES.)

YESS I LOVE THE FANTASY ASPECT MORE TOO!! THAT'S WHY I KEEP CREATING MORE SPIRITS AND POWER LORE!!!

(Also, let's be real, there's not much realism in there to begin with and when there tries to be it's just wrong. Like queens yowling when giving birth, the surprise birth scenes when real cats actually have a good idea when they'll give birth, the term "she-cats," the genetics, etc.)

YOU GET IT!!!

WAR PAINT!!! ALSO BRIGHTLY COLOR APPRENTICES!! LOVE IT!!

Oh my gosh! I had jobs for cats who didn't wat to be fighters too! Except, For Thunderclan it was crafting, Riverclan was storytelling/scholars/poets/weavers(cause weaving takes a helluva long time), and just a lot of arts in that clan that's why I love it so much, Windclan was tunnelers and crafters, and Shadowclan...I can't remember at the moment, but there was something for them. And of course the iconic duo Daisy and Ferncloud's jobs as permanent queens.

Yes! Leaders being demoted/reejcted should happen more often! (it doesn't in my au cause Starclan fuckin sucks). YES!!
