If it's cool, I'd like to put in a request for Pinestar! (@stonefall-wc)

something about prophecies causing themselves

[troutfur]

Irt that last poll you rb'd, there's something about the 'theoretically, he's chaste as fuck, but I know him so I can't say he's virtuous in any particular manner' that is so fucking funny to me (@stonefall-wc)

I MEAN AM I WRONG THO? Just look at me in the eye and tell me Jayfeather is in any way virtous and not a whore (affectionate) in his heart of hearts.

@guerrastrife replied to your post “I just deeply hate Brambleflower as a rename. I’ve...”:

Sameee. I want to make an AU where Brambe is not a Dick to Squirrel and want to rebame his canon name but Brambleflower is so... inaccurate for him??? But the prefix -heart is being abused too so I thought in change his prefix with his sister. Bramblepelt and Tawnyclaw??? Haha

i hate brambleflower with such a passion it doesn't at all make sense to me.

not sure what you're getting at wrt -heart? other than bramblepaw not having done anything memorable to deserve it. i can't see blackstar naming tawnypaw tawnyclaw, when from the pov of my shadowclan, she's basically a new cat? it wouldn't make sense to tie her to her father like that. and i can't see tigerstar naming her tawnyclaw because he just doesn't care enough for that.

in the break me like a promise universe, bramblepaw's warrior name is bramblebloom because i obviously wasn't going to name him brambleclaw, and so there was some brainstorming. i believe that particular name was come up with by @stonefall-wc?

depending on how you want to characterize bramble, there are a few options. for a good hunter, bramblefang is an option. brambleseed (new beginnings?) could work given on the details, and bramblefoot if he's fast for some reason.

renames are usually...it's weird, because in a vacuum, naming bramblepaw bramblefur wouldn't mean anything, but because it's a rename, it holds extra weight.

sighs.

Bee-balm, chrysanthemum, iris for the flower asks

@stonefall-wc

Oh no I made a joke about trout signing his anon ask but now I'm clearly the weird one for finding it remarkable. Who could have foreseen a heel turn from a cat named Bramble...

Bee Balm: What is your favorite Super Edition or novella?

Crowfeather's Trial and Tallstar's Revenge take it easily. It's hard to say which one I like more because they're so different, but I think they're prime examples of the two kinds of standalone Warriors novel: middle-of-existing-action and prequel. They both add color and depth to known characters without introducing plot holes and problems.

Chrysanthemum: If you were a cat, what would your clan and rank be?

ThunderClan (senior) warrior! Nothing fancy. If my name was ever floated for deputy I'd go start shit at the border until that talk stopped.

Iris: Name your top three favorite ships and your top three least favorite ships.

It's so hard to pick a top 3 ships. BrambleFire, FireTiger, and LionBerry are the three I've spent the most time thinking/talking about actively. But there's also BrambleHawk, BaySun, LionAsh. Not to mention all the poly ships? So so many that I like...

As for least-favorite ships, I don't know. I love all ships. I tend to think of FireSand as being BFFs who have a little together (or do they, Mr. Sharpclaw? :3c) so I guess you could say I dislike that "ship." It's canon, though, so is that even a "ship"?

[calronhunt]

Wc!Cob story stuff that has no connection to anything that happens in crushed olive branch so i can actually talk about it-

since the journey to become a leader is so long as they have to go all the way to the sea to commune with Starclan, Stonefall is technically “leader” but has not been able to receive her nine lives because she is heavily pregnant and it would be unsafe for her to make the journey. Which is why she has not taken on the -star suffix. She picked out the next deputy (Thornstripe) but is now simply waiting to have her kits and get them weaned before she goes.

A lot of the clan is super anxious about this because, like, if Stonefall were to die for whatever reason, she wouldn’t have another life to come back to, as WELL as how long of a wait it is to not have a starclan approved leader. Some cats in the clan think it’s stupid that she’s putzing around and not going (blackberryhop and stagbeetle specifically) but others are like. what the fuck are you talking about if she has her kits outside of camp who knows what could happen (mainly Cardinalscar and Stonefall’s mate Daisycurl). and the clan is really antsy to HAVE more kits in general. So they’re just kinda locked in this standstill.

The clan is also really pushing Olivemoor and Lakeshimmer together. because again, they want more kits. currently there are no apprentices in the clan and that’s making everyone nervous. Which Olivemoor is willing to give it a shot but Lakeshimmer is like. barely interested at all if even a bit hostile to the idea

Hey everyone in the wcrp community, just giving a heads up to avoid @ broken—awakenings for the reasons down below. Be aware that there will be subjects such as racism, incest, and age gaps/pedophillia below.

I have attempted to contact the mods, but have been ignored. So has my friend.

1. Incest allowed in-roleplay

Yep, you read that right. Broken awakenings allows incest to be roleplayed in the roleplay and has even written about how tolerant each clan is of incest. This is, uh…Yeah, this should just not be in a wcrp at all.

2. Racist stereotypes

One of the clans wear bones and “might be cannibals”, does that remind you of something? Yep, it’s native american stereotypes babey! We’ve been through this stuff again and again, yay!

3. Mod(s) ship large age gaps and/or pedophillia

The following are from mod Stonefall-wc/Dantelupine’s blog and AO3.

Not to mention the post that was reblogged on the rp blog today.

4. Religious executions in-rp??

One of the clans, Hollowclan, will literally execute cats that don’t believe in Starclan. This is awfully close to religious executions that still happen to this day, and such subjects should not be in the hands of people like this.

So far, the two mods we know the mains of are stonefall-wc/dantelupine and just-like-beart. Avoid and block these accounts and the wcrp blog, we don’t need nor tolerate stuff like this in the wcrp circle.

Bramblepath’s more reserved sister, Stonefall. She left Thunderclan to live with her father in Windclan. She is fiercely proud, and to prove her loyalty, took a Windclan mate and birthed two litters. One in each. The oldest, Lionpaw, and the youngest, Tigerkit.

[troutfur]

For Been Here All Along, can I get 3, 5, and 8? (@stonefall-wc)

(Fic in question)

3: What’s your favorite line of narration?

Oooh, this is hard, but I'm gonna go with one from the nightmare scene. How's about...

Hollypaw didn't look a day older than when she left.

One of the things I loved most about the flashback scenes in this one was getting to touch upon the feeling of dread Lionblaze must've felt about Holly's fate in all the intervening years between her exile and then. I find this line quite haunting for it.

5: What part was hardest to write?

It was mostly the present day sections in between the flashbacks and before the explosive final confrontation with Jayfeather. I structured the piece in such a way these were framed by and built up by those, a format I'm actually quite fond of. I really like the effect of an introspective piece that's all about the internal conflict of a character struffling to take an action at the end that is built up by these vignettes of flashback. This time it was just hard to find the right way to frame these.

8: Did any real people or events inspire any part of it?

Nothing in particular no! At least not consciously. I'm sure I must've drawn the emotion on the page from somewhere the process of writing was for me mostly about following the logical course of Jayfeather and Lionblaze's arcs according to the events surrounding Lionblaze. So, yeah!

[troutfur]

If you're still doing geomancy fortunes, I bring Whitekit, a small black tom-kit. Despite his slightly diminutive size for a kit of his age (and parentage) he's rather evenly proportioned. (@stonefall-wc)

You're in luck! Very last SandClan submission. I got no more sitting in my inbox as of now. This is the last geomantic birth chart I'm drawing up for the foreseable future, although I'm open to the idea of doing more eventually.

Now, the chart Featherstorm would've drawn up would look a little bit like this:

[Image ID: Under the header “What will Whitekit’s life be like? (02/19/2023)” 16 rows of tally marks crossed out two by two until there is only 1 or 2 left uncrossed. To the left, a shield chart at the top with the following geomantic figures: Populus as the first mother, Cauda Draconis as the second mother, Coniunctio as the third mother, Amissio as the fourth mother, Acquisitio as the first daughter, Coniunctio as the second daughter, Caput Draconis as the third daughter, Populus as the fourth daughter, Cauda Draconis as the first niece, Fortuna Minor as the second niece, Fortuna Maior as the third niece, Caput Draconis as the fourth niece, Albus as the right witness, Rubeus as the left witness, Coniunctio as the judge, and Coniunctio as the sentence. Below the shield chart, an astrological house chart with the first twelve geomantic figures above mentioned assigned to houses 1 to 12 in the order mentioned above. /end ID]

NOW! I was getting a really strong sense of dejavu looking at this chart and I worried that perhaps I had somehow drawn up one of the 65,536 mathematically valid charts twice. But looking at the figures more closely and flipping through my notebook I noticed while not the exact same, this is a very similar chart to the one I drew up for Ocotillostripe. Only four figures here are different: the third and fourth mothers and the third and fourth daughters.

In an effort to give y'all an interesting interpretation I'm deliberately not consulting what I wrote for Ocotillostripe, BUT. It is a very similar chart and naturally there will be overlap.

So, without further ado!

The sentence and judge figures are both Coniunctio, connections and communication. So, we've got a cat who is very straightforward. Communicative and social are his main character traits. When we look at the right witness, Albus, wisdom and experience, and the right witness, Rubeus, anger and uncontrolled aggression, we get the sense the way it became like this is due to how he is able to be a cool head in the face of heightened emotions.So, a mediating influence in SandClan. Our cats tend to fall into either this archetype or the hyperaggressive type to be honest and a polarization of influences like that sounds like... an interesting writing challenge of a community to write.

Now going down the houses of the house chart we have:

Populus, stillness, in the first house! A cat that is not inclined to do much. A background character, crowd filler kind of dude. Not the worst role to play, a Clan does need some members that are there to fill the ranks and he might just yet have interesting quirks or a backstory the fans could flesh out so let's keep going...

Cauda Draconis, endings and foregone conclusions, in the second house! Damn this one's hard. You all know that I am notorious for having a proble interpreting this house specifically, as the cats have no material posessions, but I've sometimes used it to indicate something about food or hunting prowess. Unfortunately I have no clue here how that connects. Perhaps... he's just kind of average? IDK.

Coiunctio again in the third house, representing close platonic and particularly familial bonds! I like the idea that he'd be close-knit with his littermates. Sibling relationships are just in general appealing to me so yeah I'm taking the opportunity here. And particularly because...

Amissio, loss, in the fourth house! Orphans are a classic and also a common feature around SandClan. Wonder if it would be warranted to bunch up a lot of them and have them lose them in bulk to a particularly bloody war. Aggressive factions and harsh seasons are already a reocurring theme in the charts. Hmmmm.

Acquisitio, gain, in the fifth house! This contrasts pretty directly with the previous house, presaging bountiful legacy. I'm thinking we have enough prolific parents, we'll let him be a mentor figure.

Coniunctio int he sixth house! I do remember what I did for Ocotillostripe when this one showed up! I gave him a congenital cataract to have him bond with an elder over going over a similar experience to a condition due to aging at a young age. I like that idea so let's give White something similar! I'm thinking hip dysplasia so he can relate to an elder with arthritis. You described him as small despite his parentage so I'm thinking that while as a kit he may not feel the health complications of it but as he comes into his adult size and bulks up his size is going to make the condition worsen.

Caput Draconis, new beginnings and endless potential, in the seventh house! Dude must be quite handsome and lucky in love, he can get whoever he wants. I'm not thinking he'd be the kind to want a family though, I already did commit to him being plentiful in legacy through mentoring so let's go with that.

Populus in the eight house! Nothing terribly interesting on the matter of death and dying. Good, if this is going to be a mostly background dude he better not have anything too dramatic in that department.

Cauda Draconis in the ninth house! Foregone conclusions in the place of journeys. With what we've discussed I can only feel like this is just telling us he's doomed to remain background.

Fortuna Minor, dependent or short lived success, in the tenth house! I also remember what I did for Ocotillostripe in this one and once again I like the idea of it for here. In the house of authority this suggests the idea of someone whose main accomplishment is just the status that comes with age. So, yep!

Fortuna Maior, independent or long lasting success, in the eleventh house! For a cat that is good at forging connections and facing hot heads with a cool one this makes sense he'd succeed in making friends and such. Very much one way to interpret it I feel.

And finally Caput Draconis in the twelfth house! Endless potential in the house of antagonism and enemies. I feel like this could indicate that were he to seriously pursue using his connections to elevate his standing he would face enormous opposition. Good for him he doesn't really I suppose!

And for our final round of putting it all together!

Whitekit's immediate future involves a tragedy, loss of parents, possibly to an incident that involves most of SandClan. However, he won't be too turn up about it, having basically never known them. It will however, result in him growing close to his littermates. Though he won't be interested in having a family his legacy will nevertheless be plentiful through being a mentor. He will grow into a size more like the parents he never knew, but unfortunately, this will bring with it the complication of hip dysplasia, giving him a taste of aging very young and prompting him to bond with the elders. Nevertheless, he will still be pretty active in the social life, and particularly dating, of the Clan even if his condition will have him withdraw from taking part in many duties. As he ages for real he will begin to reap the benefits coming from age and be regarded as a great friend by many. Were he more ambitious he would've made many an enemy, but he always preferred to keep a low profile.

[mallowstep]

Nonnie who just sent an ask: im deleting it bc you definitely included info it’s much funnier if I don’t know so nothing personal I just don’t want to read it more times than I have to bc im hoping it falls out of my brain.

(Srsly not mad or upset or anything, it’s legitimately just funnier for other people if I don’t know something and I do try to live my life like that.)

Anyway bestie beloved I don’t know who’s read what bc I stay out of the spoiler and live reading threads bc im only half way thru LSH. (Y’all know the drill: no spoilers.)

Ummm you have the best chances with @pleckthaniel @queerhollyleaf and maybe @stonefall-wc? I feel like one of them might possibly know.

Wait I should explain. Guys nonnie wants someone to talk to re River/ASC and Sparkpelt. But yeah best of luck. It seems like a topic I’ll be super excited to talk abt if I ever get there.

[haylie1214]

I’ve realized I’ve never drawn Amberspots with her first mate and litter. It didn’t last long.

[haylie1214]

Bramblepath and Stonefall. Daughters of Amberspots and the Windclan tom, Graymask. They were raised to hate Starclan, but Bramblepath fell in love, and she disowned the dark forest and it's teachings. Stonefall is angry. Hating her mother and foster father, going to live with her father, and continues to train with the Dark Forest.
