new kittens pog

all the kittens appearing in the allegiances of the changing skies: elder's quest excerpt!

[rosemist50]

Hi so uh, here are the rest of them! New apprentices and kits for every clan! Up first are Sunbeam and Nightheart's kits, Goldenpaw and Shinepaw. I'm pretty happy with how these two came out, if I go into every trait and where it came from I'd run outta room for this post 😅 Next is Redpaw and Sprucepaw from Shadowclan, unknown parentage. I tried to channel the classic light stripes on darker body from like 2013 era Warrior Cats with Sprucepaw. Then is Robinpaw and Starlingpaw, kits of Needleclaw and Kitescratch. I only noticed just now that Kitescratch's line has been named after birds which I think is adorable 💕💕 Then, Silkypaw and Fluffypaw (yes actually) from Windclan, unknown parentage. You forced my hand, here is what I consider to be silky and fluffy, though these are more on the extreme end. After is the new kits! First is Oakkit, Sunkit, and Hazelkit, children of Myrtlebloom, unknown father. Then Quickkit, Beechkit, and Poolkit, children of Lightleap and Blazefire. Poolkit is meant to be leucistic, it was the only way I could justify her being "white". Beechkit is the Tigerclone. And Quickkit looks like his great-grandfather. After them is Rustlekit and Stretchkit, children of Appleshine, and Heronkit and Eelkit, children of Floatshimmer. For all of the kits without a named father I have a best guess in mind, but it was still frustrating bc I'd want to use a trait from the father's line, but I want those traits to stay unique to that line, and without confirmation I can't give the trait to the kit. Blergh.

[sagespirit-wc]

very cautiously beginning the changing skies preview (yes it’s 6:30 am. what of it) and while i know i’m not in for a good time, looking at the allegiances i really like a lot of the kit names !!! god knows there’s. way too many of them but aside from moonkit which i already liked, we have hazelkit, sunkit, shinekit, and starlingkit (i love starling- prefixes!! its been too long). actually that’s about all that i really like but im gonna allow myself to be excited cause i do really like those names

[kipxan]

rustlekit loved his father once. 

[bonefall]

For context with Floatshimmer she is an 11 moon old, with kits.

goddddddd I just looked at the allegiances, trying DESPERATELY not to get sidetracked so I finish Star before the winds of my mental disorder pick me up and plop me down on a totally different task than the one I'm trying to do,

BUT

Lord it's bad. It's BEE-AY-D BAD. They didn't just make Moonpaw's parentage terrible, almost every choice (besides the expected Night/Sun and Blaze/Light litters) is weird in some way

We've got some new Orphan Warriors in the form of Fluffpaw and Silkypaw in WindClan, and Sprucepaw and Redpaw in ShadowClan.

Floatshimmer was just born 2 books ago, and is a mother as soon as Changing Skies opens up.

Breezepelt's daughter, Appleshine, now has Rustlekit and Stretchkit, making him a grandfather (not the weirdest thing I guess, considering how many descendants Lionblaze has... but still feels odd.)

Rootspring's sister, Needleclaw, now unceremoniously has Starlingkit and Robinkit in spite of having zero insight to who her potential mate is. EDIT: It's Kitescratch. Her first cousin once removed, a character I can't remember her hanging out with. Wasn't Kite one of Root's bullies

BOTH Myrtlebloom and Bayshine, siblings, are having kittens at the exact same time, and the Erins are really bad at remembering first cousins. I'm having That's So Raven visions into the future of shiptease between Moonpaw and Oak/Sun/Hazel and I'm practically setting up the plot hijinks of the sitcom episode hurling myself into action to try and prevent it

SOME CURSORY THOUGHTS TO HOW I'M GONNA FIX IT;

Orphan Warriors are easy for me to fix, I'll just link them up to some existing families. I guess now's a good time to casually drop that BB!ASC is going to end with the canonical "exodus" of several RiverClan cats, so I'm probably going to have both Silky/Fluff and Spruce/Red be fathered by RiverClan migrants.

Floatshimmer is waaaay too young to be having kits, even by canon's standards, but in BB cats start to have kits around 3-ish. I'm not sure if teenage pregnancy is a thing I feel personally comfortable tackling at this point in time, so I might shuffle her, OR take her kits and "hold on" to them so they get born later. Unsure.

I think Peepaw Breezepelt might just feel odd to me because of BB stuff, since he has his first litter with Harestar and Heathertail after BB!OotS. I'll probably end up shuffling Rustle/Stretch to Heathertail's half-brother, Galerunner, but include a little line or something about Breezy-P and The Polycule starting to feel old.

Needlekits......... hm. I could be tempted for the vibe that Needle had kids on accident and Rootspring is stepping in as an uncle parental figure... but ALSO I like the idea a LOT of Rootspring adopting kids one day. I might make them become Root's adopted kids. EDIT: Kitescratch being FCOR is putting the canon pairing in range of Onestar's Exception, so Needleclaw's litter is now even MORE likely to change.

Light's litter with Blaze is expected, that can stay unchanged, though I am starting to consider how to fix the way her character arc was more of a character stumble.

What I'm planning with Sunbeam's litter I can't tell you yet. Not because I don't know what I'm doing with it, but because I love it a lot and I'm grinning just thinking about revealing it. But you can't have it yet. I gotta finish Star. You don't get to know until I finish Star :))))

[heepthecheep]

Needleclaw and Kitescratch???

I hope we find out who Myrtlebloom and Appleshine's mates are. Breezepelt is a grandpa 😧

I'm guessing that Shadowclan's apprentices are FringeSpire kits?

Oh, and here's all the new names:

ThunderClan: Bristleclaw, Stemtail , Greywhisker, Wafflepelt. Sunbeam's kits are Goldenkit and Shinekit. Myrtlebloom's kits are Oakkit, Sunkit and Hazelkit.

Shadowclan: Birchfeather, Bloompetal, Firbark, Whisperbreeze and Streamripple. There two new apprentices named Redpaw and Sprucepaw. Lightleap's kits are Quickkit, Poolkit and Beechkit, or as the allegiances spells it, beehckit)

SkyClan: Beetleshine, Beesting, Duskshine, Ridgeglow. Needleclaw's kits are Robinkit and Starlingkit

WindClan: Leafcurl, Grassfur and Branchleap. Appleshine's kits are Rustlekit and Stretchkit. There are two new apprentices, Silkypaw and Mistpaw

RiverClan: Troutshine, Rapidsplash (named after her brother maybe??) and Floatshimmer. Floatshimmer's kits are Heronkit and Eelkit.

Oh, and Moonpaw has a small orange cat living inside her head, ig. At least it's not Mapleshade!

[director-yomi-hellsmile]

reading the...... Preview....... My notes....... Heheheheh

We got a timeskip. By a little.. I see Bristleclaw (aka formerly Bristlepaw) as a warrior let's see about the siblings + if the wretched nightsun spawn are born. Also if Graypaw's not named Grayspots I'm slamming my keyboard (I'm on the phone)

Wafflepelt. I forgot Wafflepaw was a thing sdjjjgds imagine getting ur cat to win a contest to star in canon warrior cat and its got the -pelt suffix. Cheated and spat on

Stemtail and Graywhisker.... I guess Graywhisker's fineeeeee but come on he has spots. He's got spots.......

Nightsun babies are here. Named Goldenkit (golden tabby tom) and Shinekit (black molly). Hi kids I'm so sorry your dad is literally Nightheart

Oh wait Myrtlebloom also got a litter?????? Is this where Shyfrost's gonna come from.. Kits are Oakkit (pale brown tabby molly with white spots), Sunkit (orange tabby tom, is it after Sunbeam??) and Hazelkit (tortie molly with white spots). No Shyfrost in sight. Keep on looking

ThunderClan baby boom

This will affect the family tree.

Anyway checking out all the other adult names of the ASC kits lol. ShadowClan first

Oh they got: Birchfeather (Dovewing and Tigerstar kit which means I automatically like him), Bloompetal, Firbark, Whisperbreeze, Streamripple. I actually like those?? Firbark and Streamripple especially. Good job Tigerstar let me kiss you directly on thr lips

Who the hell are Redpaw and Sprucepaw huh... New spawn.... Also oh no I see Lightleap gave birth god forbid a single even a little prominent female character not get pregnant. The Curse has finally affected my girl. It was inevitable. I should have prepared

Lightleap spawn is Quickkit (ginger tabby tom), Beehckit (pale brown tom, haha typo the writers made a typo everyone point and laugh), and Poolkit (white molly). The cat genetics nerd inside me in crying and writhing in pain rn

SkyClan section. Fuck you Tree I hate Tree stupid stupid cat

Beetleshine for Beetlepaw... Good name good name but I already named an OC that earlier so I am not impressed. I was first. Beepaw is uhhh where thebhell is Beepaw. Oh they're Beesting. Actual good names I am satisfied with your work. Moving on

Duskshine and Ridgeglow also good however come on you already used -shine in the same generation come onnnn.......

Ok Who's pregnant. Was anyone pregnant

Needleclaw was.... Her kids are Robinkit (reddish-brown molly) and Starlingkit (black and white tom) Woohoo Starling prefix win. Also by any chance is the father Kitescratch. Just wondering

FINALLY. Sparrow and Cherry retired

WindClan timeeeee

Leafcurl yay. Nice girl nice name 9/10. Her less cooler siblings got Grassfur and Branchleap. Clearly there's a superior sister

Silkypaw and Fluffpaw??? Huhhhhh?? Who are they..... Also thanks for getting creative for once your efforts have been recognized by the great Yomi

Kicking my feet going hehehe at warrior cat website book preview. This is where I was supposed to be all this time. I found my calling

Stripeheart and Brookripple are also here. I revoke my praise of the authors getting creative come onnnnn you literally JUST named Streamripple I. I'm gonna make them kiss. Bond over being literal clones

Guys this is big. This is huge. Breezepelt is a grandpa now. I am going to shed tears

Appleshine's kits (Breeze grandkids) are: Rustlekit (white tom with a brown tail) and Stretchkit (brown tabby molly with white face markings). Giving the authors their creativity praise back. Do not dissapoint me again

WAIT NIGHTCLOUD RETIRED. o7

Still not over with how Owlnose is a deputy now for some reason. Didn't his entire small character arc a few books back center wholly around with how he should not be a leader. They literally only picked him because they killed off literally every other RiverClan character with a personality and he was the only fuckijg option because he's the only cat who got actually developed even if it makes no sense I. I'm. I hope he spontaneously combusts

Also I will prevent myself from going off on Podlight getting off scot free for his atrocities while. I will prevent myself I do not deserve this headache

Anywayyyy Splash siblings are adults now named Troutshine (WHAT'S WITH THE SHINES), Rapidsplash and Floatshimmer (who's also with kits now? you sure you aint too young..)

wait a moment. I just realized something about the timeline. Wait was Sunbeam already- yeah she was pregnant in like. Wait hold on does this make sense. If it doesn't then the timeline is broken if it does I'm just rightfully worried,

Anyway guess Hollowspring and Sparrowtail joined RiverClan? I thiiiiink it was mentioned in Star. Or not.

Amyway Floatshimmer kids are Heronkit (silver molly) and Eelkit (black tom)

Phew... That's the allegiances section. Holy fuck. That's a lot of cats. Kitten season

On to the actual chapters now lmao

Prologue:

Oh hii Leafpool is that Skystar GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM HERRRR LEAVE HER ALONEEEEEEE DO NOT TALK TO HER. HE SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED AROUND WOMEN THIS IS FUCKING TERRIFYING GET AWAYYYYYYY

"The Clans were unstable in my time, and if you ask me, they’re just as bad now.” Skystar. Skystar back in your times the Clans weren't unstable they were a tragic disaster that brutally murdered every single woman that came in contact with it. Also shut up get this man away from Leafpool

Why is Skystar here even. Get him out

Also. The writing here is so goofy can we get to Moonpaw already

Oh wait another journey?? Actually this is fine I hate the Lake territories. Change location NOW

Chapter 1

Why's Tawnypelt such a hater. What did Bloompetal do to you she's literally just frolicking she's just a girl

Why is she. Genuinely So mean to everyone.

Which don't get me wrong is not inherently Bad if this was any other media I love mean mean women however this is warriors. I don't remember the last time a wc character was genuinely just kind and nice to people, every single cat is just written interacting in such a mean-spirited way and them just being casually cruel to each other is supposed to be charming somehow, like everyone's an asshole already we don't need more. And also Tawnypelt is a Female Warriors Character™ which means that if this keeps up she'll definitely get disproportionately "punished" for it in some way later and. I'm just praying that Moonpaw is a ray of goddamn sunshine when we get to her please I can't do this anymore

Is. Is the entire chapter gonna be her being unreasonable and snapping at everyone younger. Is. Is

I actually genuinely do not understand her problem. Like I get she's sad I get it but. Was she deliberately written as making problems out of nowhere, or did the writers shart once again.

(don't mind me I'm just paranoid... I've been hurt by warrior cats before...)

Hehe Poolkit- oh wait that was it. That was the chapter. I mean its fine actually

Chapter 2:

Leafstar time. I don't like her but I will now mindwipe all my opinions I've had on her character to have somewhat of a good time now. Maybe she gets better!!

Praying they are gonna be normal about Leafstar's vision loss. Please warrior cats

I was correct lmao Kitescratch was the father

Mystery Sickness

Mystery Sickness epidemic plot!!! I got no idea what the hell these symptoms are supposed to be but. Ok❤️yay

There is people being loud at my house

Can be Mystery Sickness pleaseeeeeeeee spread to ThunderClan too. Can we have ThunderClan population culling this arc pleaseeeee

Anyway get out my way grandma it's MOONPAW TIME

Chapter 3

Baby.

Oh god another medcat apprentice that doesn't want to be a medcat. Can we stop.

Also idk about how they just took a look at Moonpaw (who's also a child) looking different (aka. having chimerism) and went "we're now gonna force you into a lifetime of celibacy" it's just. So weird to me I hope Moonpaw kills everyone especially her parents

Moonkit. Moonkit I'm speaking directly to you now you have to start killing

Oh fuck she's got that voice inside her head. Please writers I am praying for you to be normal. If this is her vengeful dead fetus sibling she absorbed in the womb that people have been theorizing I am also going to kill everyone. If this is also an Evil Plural plot I will get your spirits too

Oh no. Oh fuck. Chat I think it's. Oh no. Chat I think they're. Doing just that.

Oh fuck. Oh no. *sighs painfully* *cocks gun*

Thanks Jayfeather and everyone else in that den for being normal about Moonpaw and clearing up the fact that it's just her parents that are being Really Weird

I like. Moonpaw. I'm also taking her and her voice away from the warrior cat writers she is mine now get away from her

Yep that finally confirms it she's being deliberately written as plural

Unnamed Moonpaw Voice you're so silly. If you're evil later for some reason I will take your side

Unnamed Moonpaw Voice got a reflection-

Oh fucj is that. They're really. Is that really the spirit of her dead fetus sibling she absorbed in womb oh god oh fuck

VERDICT: I am officially taking Moonpaw away from the writers that's it. She is mine now get away from her what are you doing why am I actually somewhat affected by this

[i-luv9]

Who I Think Are The Parents of All of the New TEQ Cats Are 

Spoilers for The Elder Quest excerpt and also a wanting because I am going to be a little bit… keep in mind this is less about who I would wish the parents would be and more who I think is likely.

I’m also gonna be assuming that the new apprentices that we have no idea the parentage for are siblings.

Starting with ThunderClan, we already do know the parents of Goldenpaw, Shinepaw and Moonpaw, but what about Oakkit, Sunkit and Hazelkit?

Well, based on the descriptions, the father is probably a a tortie or a ginger tom, and the only tortie is Shellfur and he is mates with Fernstripe.

Which leaves the only ginger tom in the clan…. Who is… Stemtail…

Now I suppose this isn’t the worst thing in the world, the age gap isn’t that big, but it feels a little odd for her to date her brother’s apprentices mate. This would also explain why Stempaw was given Molewhisker as a mentor when by the theme that Squirrelstar seemed to be going with mentoring the apprentices, he should have otherwise gone to Myrtlebloom. 

Now we go to ShadowClan! Pool kit, Beechkit and Quickkit have obvious parentage but what about Redpaw and Sprucepaw? 

My best guess is either Flowerstem or Whorlpelt for a parent? (Not both as they are siblings and look kinda similar.) because they both could parent Sprucepaw? I have idea for the other parent though, as there are, unfortunately, currently no red cats in ShadowClan. 

The only cat in the allegiances that resembled that is Kitescratch which… would actually be interesting…? Maybe Redpaw or Sprucepaw are future protagonists who don’t who their father is? 

Okay… suggesting these two are interesting at all… their parents would be Flowerstem and Kitescratch… otherwise I have no idea.

For SkyClan, we already know Robinpaw and Starlingpaws parentage so no need to analyze.

As for WindClan… we have two litters to guess!

Silkypaw and Fluffpaw could be another BreezeHeather or SedgeEmber litter (just pale for some reason)

And the father of Appleshines kits, Rustlekit and Stretchkit, seem to me like they are most likely Flutterfoot based on the description and ages.

Finally…. Ugh… RiverClan…

Floatshimer for some reason is a black cat now? (Although I admittedly like this) but I dislike that she is having litters on young. Her litter being Eelkit and Heronkit.

No less, that the father is most definitely Graysky as he is the closest Tom to her age and is Heronkit is silver.

But Graysky was described as being old enough to be a warrior by the time she was born! Ugh!!!!

But whatever. Those are my predictions. Totally feel free to correct me if I made any mistakes or even tell me ur predictions!

Spoilers(?) for The Elder's Quest

What in the world, that is quite the time skip from Star!

AND YET MOSSPELT IS STILL ALIVE 😭 LET HER REST! and Oakfur too but idc about him

Also? Why are Sparrowtail and Hollowspring in RC? I thought they went back to ShadowClan...

Beepaw > Beesting (I adore this name!)

Beetlepaw > Beetleshine (yeah another solid name 10/10)

Birchpaw > Birchfeather (huh ok)

Bloomkit > Bloompetal (ok I'm a fan)

Bristlepaw > Bristleclaw (ok I'm rocking with this)

Streamkit > Streamripple (again, I am not rocking with the -ripple suffix)

Stripekit > Stripeheart (yeah not a lot of suffixes would sound good with "stripe-" 3/10 an attempt was made)

[residences-of-the-darkforest]

But let's follow Spring!

Spring was an elder when she adopted a litter of kits left to the Clan by a kittypet. Then she died of old age.

Sweetkit, Skykit and Flykit are now alone in the Clan.

-------------------------

-------------------------

Flypaw is apprenticed to Sproutthorn, Sweetpaw is apprenticed to Oakstar, and Skypaw to Judas. During the ceremony, Skypaw notices the stars shine brighter, and takes it as a sign that her birth mother, Pear, is still watching over them

.......and then the same moon Skypaw and Judas die from eating tainted prey.

Sweetpaw practises battle moves, perhaps wanting to protect his remaining littermate.

------

Sproutthorn takes Sweetpaw out to watch the moon rise.

------

Sweetpaw asks Sproutthorn for some advice.

Flypaw feels lonely.

-------------------------

-------------------------

Sproutthorn proudly watches Flypaw become Flyrustle, and is honoured to have mentored them. She looks forward to seeing the warrior he becomes. He was honoured for his "independence"

Sweetpaw becomes Sweetdawn.

Sweetdawn keeps playing pranks on Sproutthorn.

Flyrustle was murdered.

-------------------------

-------------------------

Sweetdawn found an abandoned kit and names them Rustlekit.

Rustlepaw is apprenticed to Sproutthorn.

-------------------------

-------------------------

Rustlepaw and Sweetdawn died of yellowcough.

Clangen but I only follow the first family born

Cut by the ranks (kit as a kit, then as an apprentice, then as an adult, then grandkits, with a gap between those events).

Wolfstrike announced she is expecting kits.

She had a single kit with Flailclaw: Acornkit (someone was murdered the same moon too)

-------------------------

-------------------------

Wolfstrike, the previous deputy, retired.

Acornpaw became a medicine cat apprentice

Acornpaw is caught outside the territory.

Flailclaw watches the moon rise with Fennel.

Acornpaw vows to help anyone in need.

Wolfstrike keeps wondering what it's like to live with Twolegs.

Flailclaw was murdered.

(Note: Beatle, the main suspect, confessed feelings to Fennel, but was rejected).

Acornpaw was murdered

The murder was later confessed by Spring.

Wolfstrike died.

........the family did not last long.

[squirrelcrow-po3]

so yea

crowfeather is changed to be beetlestar and dandeliontail’s son. he was a rare only kit and is born after the darkest hour, so he’s slightly younger than squirrelflight but by like… a moon or two. beetle and dandelion have another litter during tnp and are born before they journey to the lake. that’s rustlekit and drizzlekit

[gatorsnot]

 one thing i’d personally change in warriors is to have kits act appropriately according to their age

like we have kits open their eyes, being capable of complete and coherent speech, and have advanced mobility all the day after being born which is hilariously weird

imagine like, little little kits opening their eyes after a couple of weeks and just babbling nonsense syllables like babies and toddlers do; they can’t QUITE talk yet but by starclan they wanna because they got some shit to say ( “are you having a nice day, rustlekit?” “!!! abpthh ababa daa!!” “good! i think it’s very lovely out, too! i bet the prey is running well” “pppppbtheeee!!”) and have them gradually learn language better as they age ( “wan’ mikk! wan’ mikk!” to “mooooom, i want something from the fresh-kill pile, i’m too old to be nursing! it’s for baby kits!”)

give me clumsy kits with stubby af legs, their tails sticking straight up all the time and them just waddling everywhere like this

give me kits being bratty and throwing tantrums, kits being scared and crying for their parents, kits being different when it comes to their learning experiences that will influence how they're trained as apprentices, etc.

i just think it’d be a cuter and better touch  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ let kits act more like little babies and toddlers

[kipxan]

10-minute mouse sketches of rustletwig’s parents, siltfeather and copperstream. neither of them are good parents but copperstream is 1000x worse!! really i’m so mad that i like his design because he sucks so bad.

basically, rustlekit’s littermates were stillborn and rustlekit himself was small and sickly. copperstream started training him as a kitten, but rustle hated it and decided not to train as a warrior. copper makes sure every day that rustle knows what a horrible disappointment he is and is just an overall bully. rustle finally puts his foot (paw?) down and disowns him when copper tries going after rustle’s mate. siltfeather is...not outright cruel to her son but she is an enabler, and while rustle doesn’t entirely forgive her, they do make their peace.

you can find a little bit more about them here.
