TW for blood and mention of murder

hnnnrgggh I'm gonna have another fanart tomorrow because Nettleclan is dragging me into the pit of hyperfixation and I can't escape /pos I swear.

Even MORE rambles under the cut

Anyways, this is Ambershard and Bumbletumble from @nettleclanstale. I wanted to include Bumble in yesterday's fanart but couldn't find a way for her to fit, but that ask about Bumble's conflicting feelings for murdering Hazelstar and how she did the right thing really hit me, especially the interaction between her and her dad that answered it </3

Devastating, I will never recover. I really wanted to draw it after reading that, it was so genuinely heartbreaking to see Bumble that broken, because Hazel hurt Bumble's baby, Meadowbreeze suffered because of Hazel. But even though Meadow was her baby, Hazel is someone else's baby. And if Hazel died for hurting someone's baby, then what does that mean for Bumble? What does it mean for the mother who killed another mothers baby? I will never stop thinking about this 💔

Little details! The background is the same colors as when Bumble murdered Hazel in her den at night on moon 80. Bumble's scribbly pupils are actually dual colored like how Angie usually draws Nettleclan cats eyes, with the top being black and bottom being the reddish color that Amber and Bumble share in their eyes. Ambershard has a little heart shape on his flank in his design, but it broke because of how devastated Bumble is at her own actions. Under the tears, Bumble has eye bags/wrinkles under her eyes because I don't think she slept very well after, uh, that. The white text is the only one that says "Papa" because the white is what she said, and the red is all in her head. It's all she can think about. The blood is glitching because it's not real, she's just stuck in the moment of killing Hazelstar.

TW for blood / injuries

I was so scared Spiderstar would die before I could finish this 😭 when that flood came through I had a heart attack.

Characters from left to right are Badgerstar, Hazelstar, Spiderstar, Pinesong, and Kestralcry from @nettleclanstale! I wanted to draw parallels between the deputies and leaders of Nettleclan, and found it amusing that both previous deputies went to Starclan, but the leaders did not.

facts and w/o text version under the cut

Fun facts, the red on the four behind Spiderstar correlates to how they died. Badgerstar was pushed into the thunder path by Hazelstar, so I imagined tire track-ish looking injuries?? Hazelstar was killed by Bumbletumble and lost all her lives, so I imagined a deep wound. Pinesong ate death berries and the red down her face is the same from Moon 74. Kestralcry was attacked by Hazelstar, so in my mind it was a claw wound. I also tried my best to match up the height of each cat, but I couldn't find Hazel next to Badger or Kestral next to either of them, so those two might be a bit off. However Hazel was shown to be considerably larger than Pine, and Pine was larger than Spider during his lives ceremony. And also 9 stars for Spider's nine lives, y'know? (also Hazel's eyes are scribbled because at the time they didn't know where she went and still kinda don't)
