#there’s enough scourge in that au lol

[michdoodles]

More work doodles, yay! I had already posted the Scourge comic on the side there and it got popular by way of superscourge’s reblog of my reblog but I like posting full pages of work doodles now so there it is again. And the chubby Shadow is because I saw this post this morning and the little bastard darling decided to live rent free in my head so here’s my take on it. The rest are OCs of mine

[superscourge]

OK SO...i saw other ppl making organic/mobian metal sonic designs and i wanted in on that shit so it's my turn on the mobian metal sonic now

i tried to keep the Essence of metal sonic's design w this and just twisted a few things, i hope that came across?? 😭 one thing i do wanna address is the fingerless gloves--it makes them look a bit like 9474s0ul's organic metal sonic design (which i adore btw) and that wasnt my intention at all! i just. am a big sucker for fingerless gloves (gestures at how i draw scourge..) and it fit with the og metal sonic's design lol. so i apologize for that similarity. but i hope the rest hits differently enough! i dont wanna copy anybody 🙏

i didnt know how to incorporate sonic's ear nick and top scars or if it would make more sense to just not include them in metal's design so for now im leaving them off! metal just skipped the top surgery. didnt need it. its fine

now somebody stop me before i slap them into an au with scourge

Finally more "Scourge gets adopted by Bluestar" au content >:)

In this au, Bluefur got pregnant and gives her kits to Oakheart before she meets Tiny !

Bluefur gets angry at Thistleclaw and Tigerpaw and sends them back to camp. She waits for them to be gone, and she goes after Tiny. She calms the kit and judges him quite injured, and hearing his story about being thrown in the river if he isn't picked by a twoleg, she brings him back to camp (I guess Tiny is then 2 moons, as his twolegs had kids at home to pick a kitten, and kittens are ready to be adopted at around two months).

At the same time, Spottedleaf's Heart events happen. Spottedpaw sees Thistleclaw ordering Tigerpaw to attack Tiny visciously until Bluefur interrupts them.

At camp, little Tiny then stays in the nursery with the other kits (if there are any, I didn't read Spottedleaf's Heart so feel free to correct me !) Tiny still considers Bluefur as his mother, but he is big enough to stay in the nursery without her.

Spottedpaw confronts Thistleclaw for attacking a kit and when Thistleclaw defends himself, they argue.

While Thistleclaw is being the worst person possible towards Spottedpaw, a literal CHILD (Still can't believe Thistleclaw is a freaking groomer, the man is commiting every crime he can as a checklist), Spottedpaw finds solace in Featherwhisker and Tiny. Tiny is often near the medicine cat den, following Featherwhisker around and asking about every plants. Featherwhisker is always checking on him to make he doesn't eat any herbs like Snowkit did before, and teaches him which herbs are dangerous and which are safe.

Thistleclaw and Tigerpaw are extremely mad that Tiny is now part of the clan and keep staring at him coldly. Bluefur is very protective of Tiny and doesn't let the two toms get near him.

After being harshly beaten by Tigerpaw as a kit, Tiny doesn't feel like fighting is what he wishes to do. He feels insecure and useless as a warrior. However, he feels comfortable around Featherwhisker, the medicine cat, and thinks he could be useful by healing his clanmates. Featherwhisker is happy about this idea. However, several cats in the clan think that a kittypet should not have a role as important as medicine cat, Thistleclaw and Tigerclaw notably.

After a long debate, Sunstar ends up letting Tiny become Featherwhisker's apprentice under the name Tinypaw for his small stature (and his old name lol). Spottedpaw becomes a medicine cat apprentice soon after and this eases the mind of the clan to have a clan-born cat being a medicine cat.

I don't remember the books well enough after that to make an accurate description of what happens, but Tinypaw and Spottedpaw are both good friends. They work together and both have a strong dislike for Thistleclaw and Tigerclaw. Spottedpaw gets her medicine cat name first, Spottedleaf, and a lot of the cats come to her rather than to Tinypaw because Tinypaw was a kittypet.

I think Tinypaw would give herbs that taste bad to Tigerclaw and Thistleclaw on purpose everytime he has to treat them. Spottedleaf would be in on this and lie that these disgusting herbs are needed to feel better.

Tinypaw grows fond of little Ravenkit/Ravenpaw, and understands his fear of Tigerclaw.

If I follow the timeline well enough, Tinypaw is named Tinyfeather (He would be named a bit late because the clan would oppose to it, mainly Tigerclaw) a little bit before Rusty comes to the clan.

Firepaw is immediately friends with Graypaw and Ravenpaw. Tinyfeather and Firepaw become friends and bond over being ex-kittypets. I think Tinyfeather would become a good friend to the main trio of book one.

And that's it for now ! It took me hours to recreate the whole timeline following Bluestar and Spottedleaf's books so I hope it's alright ! :)

I decided to just call the au "tinyfeather" because that's Tiny medicine cat name in this au, I just like the word "feather", it sounds soft and completely opposite to "Scourge"

i am SOOO unbelievably thrilled by your anthro au omg. do you have fashion ideas for the characters? like their favorite outfits, fabrics, etc? imo one of the best parts of anthro characters is deciding how they'd express themselves through their clothing :]

I HAVE A FEW ALREADY!!!! i dont have many specifics because theres so many characters ahd i havent drawn them all yet LOL but i'll share the ones i do have at least SOMETHING for

im also trying to keep these reasonable for the time period and location, as in my au the clan cats are mostly rural and in small towns set (mostly) before the 2000s so most may dress more modest and conservative (especially if theyre older and very religious)

squirrelflight - the best i can describe her sense of fashion is that it ranged from tomboy as a younger girl and is currently closer to a working class butch. im not sure if masc would be a more appropriate term since i dont hc her as a lesbian (shes bi) but she dresses "like a man" and owns a lot of jeans, slacks, and button-up shirts of all kinds of fabrics and patterns. she also enjoys bright colors as well, but as she got older her fashuon sense got a little more sensible and less "loud" like it was in the 60s and 70s. she also has glasses like her daddy once shes like 35 or so. she and firestar dressed very similarly, and a lot of her shirts and neckties are things she stole from his closet

feathertail - very feminine. hippie adjacent, lots of loose and flowing garments and jingly pieces. breatheable clothes and open toed shoes. her favorite swimsuit had some little frilly bits on it i think. often combines neutral earthy tones with blues and whites

crowfeather - lots of handmedowns from his father. clothes you can do farmwork in like jeans, overalls, hardy flannel/denim shirts and boots. never grew out of this and still dresses this way and he likes it

jayfeather - he looks like a modernized (as far as the 80s goes) version of his father - same hairstyle snd way of dress. he isnt too formal but does have some more preppiness to his clothing style (polo shirts and sweaters). he avoids full button downs since buttoning them himself jjust gets frustrating since he cant match them up every time. new wave band shirts. he also wears orange tinted glasses to protect his eyes (in this au i wrote that hes able to perceive shadows and light pretty okay, but not much else beyond that) And Kinda As A Fashion Statement cuz it goes well with his facial structure and hairstyle i think

lionblaze - hes like if the stereotypical jock and stereotypical 80s rock+metal enthusiast had a baby. muscle tees and bandanas, ripped jeans, those absurdly short shorts, crop tops, etc. he's a drummer i think if that matters LOL

ivypool - punk, also sorta like joan jett to an extent. very homemade, tho sometimes she gets lazy and doesnt really commit to the outfits all the way (but definitely has the mindset, dint get me wrong). one of those girls with a chest small enough to go braless 99% of the time; wears a lot of tank tops and sleeveless shirts LOL

bone/brick/scourge - just google "the outsiders movie" or "greaser" and you'll get the idea. tho i imagine these three in particular also have some kind of bare minimum formalwear scraped together from their escapades. theyre kinda like the jetts/sharks from west side story if that helps at all

daisy - she combines flowing, pretty dresses with a sunhat and work boots. she also teaches horseback riding and owns a few (its a business she runs w smokey and floss. i think its be funny if they were polyam ITS MY AU I CAN CHANGE WHAT I WANT) and she has horseback-appropriate clothing as well

poppyfrost - THEE preppy girl of the 80s. big hair, perm and all. dresses with pastel colors. her sisters cinderheart and honeyfern are pretty similar, tho i imagine honeyfern is a little more sporty and cinderheart takes inspiration from madonna once shes trying to court lionblaze

hazeltail - long haired country girl butch. enough said

spottedleaf snd cinderpelt are nuns lol

the few truths on the seven seas

a/n: back with a pirate AU!ellie lets gooo. i wanted to provide some fluff because i've seen some people asking for it :D

content/warnings: 1.4k words, sfw, gn reader, fluff, slight angst/yearning, mentions of pirate violence, kinda historical (?), innuendo, r gives ellie a massage but nothing happens lol

While wayfaring the vast seas, there are few truths. Pirates, by nature, are underhanded beasts with no integrity, taking every chance they can to scramble ahead, pulling you under the waves if the opportunity arises; Debaucherous lowlifes operating with the highest level of chicanery despite being, for the most part, bumbling idiots. If one makes the mistake of trusting a pirate, it may prove to be fatal. You know this all too well.

There are few truths. Sleep with one eye open- never lay on your side, or you'll be stabbed in the back. Know that you have allies, but understand you have no friends. Keep your allies close, but your enemies closer. Everyone operates under the same assumption- "everyone is out to get me," and they're right. The second someone becomes comfortable on their ship is the perfect circumstance for mutiny.

There are few truths. The key word is few. Despite pirates holding nary a thing precious, there is an unspoken understanding amongst all who traverse the waters around Jackson Island.

Captain Williams is the Lord of the Ocean, the Scourge of the Seven Seas.

Her ferocity and strength know no bounds. How else could she have risen to such an infamous position? She pushed down the part of her that felt... anything... the moment she stepped off the dock and gained her sea legs. When the Captain struts into a tavern she holds her head high, sneering as even the most revered pirates make way for her, trembling and cowering behind crates. She sits at the bar and orders potent rum while the bawds in dingy corners flutter their lashes at her, hiding their flush behind silken fans.

Every so often, she'll watch with a spark in her eye as the strumpets attempt to seduce her, but the Captain never gives in. The women eventually give up, coming to the conclusion that she truly was as cold-hearted as they all say.

When the Savage Starlight docks at the port and Captain Williams comes bounding down the creaky gangway, those who wish to live flee.

Except you. With a bright smile and open arms, you run toward the danger and the hands that have slain hundreds pick you up and swing you around, greeting you with a hearty laugh coming from deep within her soul.

"Evening, lass. Fancy meetin' you 'ere," she rasps in the euphonic husk that makes your head spin. Her voice is shot from yelling commands down to her crew, not the smooth, mellow voice she once had, but it's home all the same. It's not often that Captain Williams can make her way back to Jackson Island, but whenever she can, she makes it a point to visit her anchor; You.

You met as young street urchins with matted hair and sack clothing. You were the warmth the Captain had lacked back in the day and the warmth she desperately needed now. At that point, she was still just Ellie, idealistic and naive. She would take a wooden pike in a dank alley and stand tall, brandishing the stick as a cutlass. She'd scream to the high heavens about her future plunders, and as she mounted a barrel, you would be below her, sitting with wide eyes and admiring the glory that was Ellie Williams.

You had always known Ellie would grow up to be a woman of great power and you'd done everything you could to support that dream. You were all she had, and she was all you had. Your parents were long gone, you were abandoned by society, and old enough that the charity of strangers had run dry.

Ellie would snatch a loaf of bread and you'd trip the merchant she'd stolen from, the both of you bounding down the streets laughing up a storm. You'd share the food, giggling and pushing each other playfully. Sometimes, after being caught by local authorities (they couldn't hold you long anyway), you'd hear a ruckus above the dungeon and know instinctually that your foul-mouthed knight-in-shining-armor had come for you with a key and a new series of scars. (Presently, you liked to trace her scars while laying in her bed, recounting fondly your childhood together.)

It wasn't long before the bond had turned into something more- how could it not, after everything you two had been through? Playful shoving turned into bashful looks and touches that lingered suspiciously long. You were an inch away from being more than "just friends". With time, you'd discovered each others' feelings, and while the passion of being hers had never and would never subside, neither would the bittersweet feeling of having her leave every month, not knowing if or when she'd return.

Many days, you didn't know what to do with yourself, seeking her touch and warmth but knowing that she was living her dreams. Joining her was not an option, as Ellie would never put you in danger like that. She had seen too many allies slaughtered mercilessly to ever put you in the position to witness that. So you stayed on Jackson, twiddling your thumbs. Every day, without fail, you left your house to walk to work and your eyes would momentarily flicker to where the sky blended into the hues of the ocean, hoping that the mast and sails of the Savage Starlight would creep slowly over the horizon. There was some comfort in knowing that every day, you grew closer to when the Captain would return, and with her, your Ellie.

Ellie would never let the crew into her quarters when you were with her. She didn't want to be bothered, instead opting to make the most of her time with you. She adores how genuine you are. Being around pirates who could, at any moment, betray her, left a mark on her soul. She was constantly looking over her shoulder, never quite letting her guard down. But with you, she could strip herself of the Captain persona and feel safe, something she treasured beyond your understanding. She would take her shirt off and lay down in her bed, the plush mattress dipping as you followed her suit. Straddling her, you would knead your fingers into the muscle between her shoulder blades. She can hear the teasing lilt in your voice when you ask her how it feels, but she doesn't mind so long as you keep relieving her like that.

The biggest compliment Ellie gives you is when her eyes flicker shut, entering deep sleep and letting out small snores. You brush her bangs out of her face, kiss her cheek, and hold her close, admiring the subconscious smile adorning her face. You love that she feels comfortable in your presence. You won't let anything happen to her, and she knows that. Ellie usually has to be the arbiter, the guardian, but with you she is subdued. The door remains deadbolted, though, for if her crew saw her in this manner, they'd lose respect. But for a few days out of every month, you both find solace from the hardships of everyday life.

You hold her in the crook of your body, entangling yours and her limbs until you can't tell who is who. That's how she likes it- close, blended, one. Ellie can forget about the violence she's accustomed to (which, she admittedly seeks out) and lets the world fade away, instead focusing on the warmth of your body on her chilled skin.

When you wake up, she's already dressed, used to rising at daybreak. She sits in a chair with her legs spread, pants billowing around her legs, and elbows resting on her knees, covering her mouth with her hands. She rubs her face as her eyes take in the sight of you bathed in golden sunlight. Ellie hopes to save the feeling you give her, commit it to memory, or at the very least, savor it for the time being. Because, at the end of the day, there is no certainty on the open ocean. Who knows what could happen?

There are few truths, she thinks, as she ruefully hoists the anchor and climbs the mast. Her hair flows in the wind and she watches you wave goodbye from the creaking dock. Ellie grips the wooden finish of the crow's nest, feeling splinters slide into her palms, but the sting is nothing compared to the pain of leaving you again. She hopes she'll come back. You pray she will.

There are few truths while faring the seas, except for those that are given:

Captain Ellie Williams is irrevocably in love with you.

Okay so I have barely watched Earthspark due to ADHD but already have an au idea.

You know how in some continuities earth is implied or even stated to be Unicron??? What if… what if Unicron’s energy gave life to the Terrans??

He’s been asleep for thousands of years, awakening to find his body trapped and Primus’ creations having the nerve to live on the crust surrounding his body. This infuriates him, but all he can do is wait and bide his time… spreading his dark energon through the planet and waiting for the perfect moment… he has Scourge on speed dial, telling him to observe for the perfect moment…

But then, the most unexpected thing happens - his energon, diluted but still his dark energy, is combined with an artifact of Primus and creates the Terrans (I was spoiled on how the Terrans came to be somewhat, with some kind of Prime Artifact, but I’m not done the series yet so I don’t know much lol).

Now you might think Unicron wouldn’t care, or feel resentment to these two new dark sparks, but it’s quite the opposite. He had never created anything before, hadn’t felt the connection to another cybertronian being in millenia, and now he has two new creations. It’s not quite like a parental bond, but something almost unknowable to mortals - a feeling of connection and pride over them. He sees how they forge themselves, how they defy what they’re told, creating chaos in their own way, and he is nothing but delighted, especially as more come into existence with his own energy flowing through them and feeling more connections.

Meanwhile, the series mostly goes over as normal for awhile. The Terrans are completely unaware of Unicron or anything being weird with them, but there are some early signs

The Terrans energon in their lines is dark purple, the colour of dark energon. They can drink normal energon, as their systems basically just process it into dark energon, but this means their “blood” is a really weird colour when the other bots see it.

Anything related to Primus or the Primes (which channel his power) directly either has no effect or actively hurts them, whichever makes more sense in the series.

Their coding is actively evolving and isn’t set in stone, which follows the theme of chaos and evolution with Unicron, which is why they act a lot more like kids in the series. Normal Cybertronians usually grow up much quicker, their coding staying somewhat static when they emerge, since they are born almost fully cooked.

Eventually though, probably post series when there are more Terrans I have no idea about, Unicron wants to meet his creations. He could call Scourge, but he doesn’t trust him to handle it delicately, so he goes with a… different approach.

The Terrans start hearing a deep voice in their heads, calling them to somewhere. At first it’s ignored, then when they tell the others they try to see if someone is tampering with the Terrans, but eventually the call gets too strong to resist and they are basically going on a road trip against their will, their sparks being pulled by some invisible force that isn’t effecting the others.

Eventually, they are pulled into a cave system that eventually goes deep enough they enter Unicron, and it’s all revealed when Scourge emerges and fights the Cybertronian bots but then backs off when the Terrans go to help them defend themselves. Scourge is the one to bring them all to Unicron’s spark chamber, and then… Unicron has a little talk with them and fawns over his creations.

Optimus’ reaction? “Primus he’s just like Primus with his creations. How is the un-maker so… not evil?”

Yeah the twist, which has been obvious for awhile, is that Unicron isn’t evil here. He’s a representation of destruction and Chaos, but he’s been villainized by Primus’ creations since he had, what he calls, a “brotherly spat” with Primus. It’s turns out, Unicron’s job is to basically destroy things to make more room for Primus to create. However, due to some kind of interference or whatever they both ended up fighting then going dormant. They can’t exist without one another, which is why when Primus became a planet Unicron had to as well. Now, Unicron is very very happy to have his own creations and extensions of his will like Primus did - Unicron wanted creations of his own but his dark energon could only corrupt Cybertronians until now.

Everyone’s reactions from here require more knowledge about the series than I currently posses, so that’s all for now lol

[itz-pandora]

Crying and sobbing and suffocating at the AU you just posted, poor boy, poor Manic/Scourge, it ain't his fault, he needs hugs and to be comforted, comfort the boy.

So much investment in my miscellaneous AU already, I'm surprised lol

He needs validation SOOOOO bad, he looked up to Nikki/Sonic for his entire childhood, and he was the last person in his family to say bye to Sonic when Sonic left for West Side Island :(

I feel bad for him, he doesn't deserve the guilt for not doing enough to have him stay (not to mention he starts comparing himself to Sonic when he sees Sonic became a big shot, which makes him feel awful about himself.

Someone please be nice to him

[smolsleepyfox]

How many works do you have on AO3? 13

What's your total AO3 word count? 346862

What fandoms do you write for? I am very much inactive in all of them but I have a fic for Resident Evil 4 and for Our Flag Means Death that I really should finish, alongside my second Gloryhammer Reverse!AU and an original work about werewolves :>

Top five fics by kudos? Todos los perros van al cielo (RE4) How to be an actual fucking Pirate (A guide by Israel Hands) (OFMD) Not the brightest candle on the cake (GH) The wizard in the wardrobe (GH) The Scourge of Auchtermuchty: A Tale from the Kingdom of Fife (GH)

Do you respond to comments? Absolutely!! It just might take me 500 years because i don't open AO3 for ages, sorry about that ;-;

What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? I actually dont write angsty endings that much? Life is sad enough. I guess Calamity is kind of angsty, but that's a prologue. In the fanfiction.net /fanfiktion.de days I had some Hellsing fics lying around, also probably some stuff from my Portal days.

What is the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? Considering I have the horrible habit of creating massive projects and never writing/ posting the ending despite knowing what it is, arguably none of them. I'll give you The Queen of Fife though since it's really fluffy and cute.

Do you get hate on fics? Not really. I used to get people asking hy I wrote genderbend/this character/this AU, especially in the Hellsing days but not anymore

Do you write smut? I have a document for my original characters but nothing else lol

Craziest crossover? No crossover for me, sorry!

Have you ever had a fic stolen? Afaik no, I hope it stays that way.

Have you ever had a fic translated? Years ago I was asked if [guy who asked me] could translate my Aperture Tag fic The Paint Escape into Russian. We had a debate about how to approach the protag's use of pronouns (my fic uses they/them but Russian is heavily gendered) and I gave him my blessing. I never finished that fic, so idk where we stand. In general as long as you ask I'm fine.

Have you ever co-written a fic before? Not a full fic but a friend contributed a chapter to The Scourge of Auchtermuchty: A Tale from the Kingdom of Fife

All time favorite ship My obsession with something changes too often to give an all-time favorite, and nobody wants to hear about my OCs so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

What's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will? I mean I do hope I can finish all of them at some point? Especially since I got everything mapped out already. But realistically... Portal isn't happening probably, and the Reverse!AU was more of a vibe than plot thing, so its chances are slim.

What are your writing strengths? Descriptions I think, and sentence structure. I love playing with short/long sentences and punctuation for both impact and humor.

Thoughts on dialogue in another language? I'm not categorically against it as long as it's realistic and with purpose. Monolingual people look up how multilingual people speak please.

First fandom you wrote in? The earliest I can remember is Pokemon Mystery Dungeon. I never finished that one either I think :,D

Favorite fic you've written? I did some ambitious fic for Hellsing that I did a ton of historical research for, but of my new ones I'm very fond of How to be an actual fucking Pirate (A guide by Israel Hands) and did I mention I have an original project?

If you were forced to write only one genre for the rest of your life (like James Patterson lol) what would you want it to be? Urban fantasy I think. If I want to branch out I can intriduce time travel for that period piece hehe

I tag @theineated @lablade512 @nelkey and @mandolinearts

[ails-of-ardor-au]

It's a bit weird how the clans view Kittypets. Rouges and Loners maybe could stay the same, but I feel it should've been different for Kittypets rather than pure hate.

Here are cats who basically have these tall, none cat creatures at their every beck and call. Never having to struggle, always well fed, safe, and live longer on average than any clan cat. Cats who could, if raised with other animals, understand them as well and know their language.

I feel like the clans should have more mixed reactions to them; fear, distrust, maybe still feel like the cats are beneath them, but also feel like they are, in ways, above the clan. One house cat could probably outlive three generations of clan cats. And I doubt most kittypets, despite seeing it in the canon, would give up their kits to the clans when they could be adopted out. Yes there are risks, see Scourge or other street cats, but often a risk most Kittypets take instead of clan life. I just feel like Kittypets could be so much more interesting instead of what canon does with them.

Also does this au ever touch on the Dawn of the Clans? Or is that not the focus?

Oh absolutely… I plan to really look into kittypets and how other cats — not just the Clans — view them. They’re these cats who have these incredibly powerful, dangerous creatures usually dote on them, take care of their every need and worry, and even go beyond that by making sure they’re comfortable, healthy, and entertained. Kittypets have more time to devote themselves to further knowledge, like learning languages, telling time to a human level, how to move silently without disturbing their collars, etc etc…

The kittypets are incredibly weird to the Clans, but mostly, they are feared, because the Clans just don’t understand what’s up with them lol. They definitely think themselves superior, just because they’re the Clans and that’s how they’ve been taught to view themselves, but they know that the kittypets are above them in several ways… they probably just don’t talk about it.

“Oh, look, a kittypet being lazy!” Says the warrior having been hunting since dawn for necessity about the kittypet who is getting their adequate rest in some sunshine. “They’ll never know what it’s like to need their claws!” Says the warrior bearing countless battle scars to a kittypet who sports pretty claw caps that they rather enjoy for the colors. “I can’t believe they’d let twolegs touch them!” Says the flea-bitten warrior about a kittypet getting examined for the smallest of scrapes.

I also def agree that kittypets will not be giving their kits up “to live a better life in the wild”. Most the time, kittypets probably didn’t really have a say in having kittens (as messed up as it is), and in truth probably don’t care enough about their spawn beyond wanting them to have the same luxuries and security that they have. Thus… I’m treating Princess and her twolegs differently… Unfortunately.

I have a lot of ideas shrouding kittypets, especially how they interact with city loners, traveling rogues, BloodClan, and the forest Clans… (some of which is generously inspired by @clangenrising’s [which you should totally check out] take on kittypet life, though I’ll be going in a bit of a diverged path).

And, probably! I’d like to officially start at the very beginning of the Clans and how they were made and work out from there ^^

[cat-soap-opera]

thats fair!! tbc is my favorite arc but then again i generally like the newer arcs better lol. ANYWAYSS . do u think the clans being separate towns could work? thats how i have them set up in my own anthro au. asking for advice because the whole 'clans being towns thing' is Very popular in wc aus & i sorta feel like im going the easy way out . also back to ur au. how do scourge & fire meet? ive seen u talk abt scourges relationship with his neices but i dont think ive seen anything abt wht i mentioned before? sorry for bombarding u with all of these questions gkckgccgkkcg

i think them being seperate towns could easily work, especially if the towns are small rural ones (possibly small enough to be considered villages even). but i might just be biased njhnj

scourge and fire have always been kind of aware of each others existence n that they have the same dad (quince and nutmeg are probably friends on facebook or something), but have interacted very little, if at all, prior to the beginning of the first arc. scourge has powerful connections to organized crime (which is why tigerclaw tries to ally with him in the first place), and sends some guys to fuck with thunderclan at tigerclaws request. fireheart deals with them, scourge finds out abt fireheart doing that n sends him a cryptic letter to meet him somewhere, promptly kidnaps him off the street and they strike a deal regarding tigerclaw. i imagine that scourge isnt super pleased with tigerclaws work, but cant get rid of him due to tigerclaws status... not without a good reason, at least.

[gokupowers]

thoughs on rosemary?

tbh I think the fandom mischaracterizes them because they're always depicted as the uHaul happy lesbians in domestic bliss which is cute but totally inaccurate to wlw relationships especially given one is an alcoholic emo and the other is a literal chainsaw wielding vampire w a savior complex that she was literally bred into, who both use femininity and passive aggression/words as tools and clothes as extensions of themslves like. we miss out on the capacity for toxic mean girl on mean girl action and yeah we get that w the scourge sisters whatever but the glamor and unreliable femininity of rosemary....SO slay. I wish people would explore the dynamic of them being competitive, of trying to one-up-each other in a dark, undeniably feminine way... I have a snippet from my super trashy euphoria style AU that covers it LOL:

"As she got older, Rose became fixated on certain things.

The ladies who would come over for her mother's wine club, all plunging necklines and painted lips and fluttering lashes.

Rose found herself observing the resonance of their voices, the curves of their hips, the articulation of their hands and manicured nails.

It's a discipline, one that Rose finds herself a student of.

She looks at it, feminity and womanhood, and studies it and it becomes her dogma.

She finds herself looking at other girls, the shape of their pink mouths as they form words and feels like predator watching prey.

She looks at her mother's grand mansion and coiffed hair and high heels and thinks; that's supposed to be me.

So Rose grows up with a sharp mind and a sharper tongue, all wrapped up in a pink bow.

When she's 13, she sees Kanaya Maryam in freshman honors English and she sees someone just like her.

That terrifies her.

So she taunts Kanaya, fluttering comments about Kanaya's money or her hair or her clothing.

Kanaya plays dirty. She exchanges pleasantries marked with barbs, comments about her Mother And Excessive Drinking, Perhaps.

When rose writes "POSER SLUT" on the mirror in lipstick while Kanaya uses the bathroom, she finds herself looking at the words "ALCOHOLIC SKANK" with a lipstick kiss mark next to it the next time she makes a trip to the lavatory.

Looking at it makes her a little weak in the knees.

And so, Kanaya and rose become friends in the way the most beautiful people and most intelligent people in the room naturally gravitate towards each other.

As antagonistic as their meetings began, it became... exhilarating. playful.

Rose felt she had an equal for the first time.

She had a feeling Kanaya did too

As they grow older, they blur the lines a little bit

At parties, make out with each other to fluster boys, because that's all covered by the tenet of "girls just want to have fun".

Kanaya stitches Rose a beautiful dress, purple silk that hugged her curves. As she helps Rose zip the back, Kanaya breathes over her exposed skin.

"All Dressed Up, Like My Own Little Doll...."

And Rose can't help but gasp.

So for Rose, "lesbian" isn't a word that crosses her mind once.

but "kanaya"? That is all she thinks about

By the time she's 15, Rose is a high functioning alcoholic, though it doesn't take much to hide it. Her mother never notices anything, after all.

The summer before senior year, Kanaya kisses vriska and they begin dating.

That summer, rose drinks enough to send her body into cardiac arrest

That summer is Rose's first time in rehab."

--

It’s not every day that you get a juicy piece of info that could very well put the odds in your favor. That’s why Scourge was not gonna waste this opportunity.

He’d gotten word thanks to his incredible sleuthing skills [read: eavesdropping on strangers] that Eggman had a new base in the area and had apparently acquired a very powerful “secret weapon” of some sort. That was all he needed to know before deciding it was time to raid a base. After all, if he found that secret weapon? Sonic was toast.

It took a minute to actually find the damn place, but soon enough, Scourge was skidding to a stop at the treeline before what looked to be a large, dome-shaped structure with the patented Eggman symbol on it (or something that looked like it; Scourge figured it was close enough). He smirked, flipping his shades down over his eyes and speeding off towards the entrance.

As expected, badniks littered the area around the main entrance to the base. They looked a little funny, Scourge noted; they seemed a little more…high-tech than he was used to seeing. But, whatever–he figured it wouldn’t be an issue once they were busted to scraps.

… He did have a little trouble with these bots. Just a little. But it was no biggie, since he ended up finding a way inside before he could be overwhelmed. All’s well that ends well, he supposed.

The inside of this place was…confusing. So many twists and turns, rooms that led into other rooms, platforms that moved in weird directions…

“Doesn’t this place have a map?” Scourge grumbled to himself as he ran through the absolute maze of hallways.

After what seemed like forever, he finally came to what was clearly the main, central chamber of the base. There was a very complicated-looking keypad attached to it. Luckily, Scourge was very good at lockpicking.

Stepping back a bit, he hopped up and curled into a spindash before launching himself at the keypad. It took a bit of work, but before long, the whole thing was smashed to bits with sparks flying everywhere. Just as he’d hoped, the door opened once the keypad was destroyed. With a triumphant snicker, he unfurled and landed back on the floor before confidently waltzing into the chamber.

Inside looked pretty much as he expected it to–tubes and gadgets everywhere, lots of high-tech machinery that did Gaia-knows-what, lots of papers littered about several desks that clearly showed the work of an evil mastermind…

Yeah. Deffo an Egg-base.

“Now, where’s that weapon…” Scourge questioned aloud as he strolled through the room. He pulled out some drawers and rummaged around here and there, but he didn’t really find anything interesting so far. Surely this thing wasn’t hidden that well, right?

Just as he was starting to get frustrated, he came across a huge capsule of some kind right in the middle of the room. Pretty obvious, actually. He wasn’t that observant, but whatever. He raised his shades to where they were resting back in their place on his head before he rubbed his hands together with a huge, toothy grin. “That looks promising.”

Making his way to the door of the capsule, he tried to peek inside through the little window on the front of it. He couldn’t make anything out… He decided to just open it to get a look at what was inside, so he searched around for a switch of some kind that would do that for him. It didn’t take long, thankfully, and he quickly pressed the button down that would activate the door.

Smoke spewed out from the door as it opened, making Scourge cough a bit. He waved his hand to clear some of it out of his way as he impatiently waited for it to dissipate enough for him to see what he was in for.

This had to be some sort of cool gun. He knew it was. Some kinda laser shooter or something. Or maybe a bazooka. Oh–a cannon, even! He dearly hoped it was a cannon, actually. The smoke was almost fully cleared, so he leaned in excitedly to see what was inside…!

… It was…a guy. There was a guy in there.

“What the–?” Scourge furrowed his brow once he got a good look at the contents of the capsule. It was obviously a person–a jackal, it looked like? Definitely not a cannon. Who the hell was this? He looked rough, like he’d really been put through the wringer. His drip was cool, Scourge supposed, and the big, gnarly scar on the guy’s chest was pretty intimidating…

Mine’s still cooler, he thought to himself.

Suddenly, alarms sounded throughout the base. Scourge cursed under his breath as he looked over his shoulder. He turned back to the man in the capsule, making a quick decision–he’d snag him and take him with him. He probably had some idea of where the weapon was, so once he woke up, he’d just beat the information out of him if he wouldn’t give it up willingly.

Grabbing the jackal out of the capsule and slinging him over his shoulder, Scourge finally sped out back through the way he came. He was able to dodge any bots that tried to come after him thanks to his speed, and soon enough, he was outside and running through the trees of Mobius once again.

He ran until forest turned to jungle, and before long he was slowing to a stop once again in a small clearing where bits of light showed through the canopy up above. He rested the other man’s body down on a bed of moss near a small pond, figuring that’d be…somewhat comfortable, and he then took a seat on a fallen tree a few feet away.

It was only a matter of seconds before he began to tap his foot. What was he supposed to do now? Just sit there waiting for this guy to wake up? That could take hours… He didn’t have that kind of patience.

Deciding to take the initiative, Scourge stood and started walking over to the jackal, intending to just…lightly kick him until he woke up, or something. However, he didn’t get the chance.

A low, threatening growl could be heard rumbling from the stranger’s throat. Scourge stopped in his tracks once he heard it, then took a few paces back. How long had he been–?

One yellow eye opened to a squint, scanning the area before landing on Scourge. For some reason, the look the man was giving him made his skin crawl… Not that he was going to let him know that, though.

Instead, Scourge popped the collar of his jacket to regain his composure and puffed out his chest. “Took ya long enough,” he teased right off the bat. “I was startin’ to think you were dead.”

The jackal’s gaze lingered on him coldly for a few moments. However, he looked elsewhere when he began to speak. “... I should have been.”

That…wasn’t the response Scourge was expecting. The way he sank a bit betrayed his confusion. “... Wait, what?”

The man sat up, sort of startling Scourge into taking another step back. As he did so, he fully opened both of his eyes so that he could properly take in his surroundings. He was clearly ignoring the hedgehog beside him as he turned his head away, which didn’t really sit right with Scourge.

“Hey!” he barked. “I’m talkin’ to you!”

Giving no indication that he was listening, the man proceeded to rise to his feet, standing at his full height. Scourge sort of…shrank a little once he saw how actually tall this guy was. He knew jackals were generally bigger than hedgehogs, but this guy…

No, no, it was fine. No need to be afraid. He was still in charge here–this guy just didn’t know it!

With an annoyed sneer, Scourge dared to stomp a little closer. “Listen here, pal. If it weren’t for me, you woulda still been stuck in that base. I went outta my way to rescue you, got it? That means you owe me one. So, I’m gonna tell you how this is gonna go down, and you’re gonna–hrk!”

A clawed hand suddenly gripping his neck caused Scourge’s words to get caught in his throat… At least, that was part of it.

The jackal had snapped his head around to glare murderously at him as he grabbed him, which gave Scourge a very clear view of his face. He could see his one piercing yellow eye staring back at him…and he quickly noticed that the other eye had some kind of rock lodged into its socket. It was an eerie sight, and it definitely sent an intense chill up Scourge’s spine.

“You,” spat the jackal, voice deep and commanding, “do not control me.”

Unable to respond, Scourge just kind of…dangled there, hands gripping the other’s wrist as he kicked his legs a little. The expression he wore was enough of a response, though, so he was released after a moment of struggle. Once he was able to breathe and stand on his own again, he gasped for air and rubbed at his throat with an indignant look.

“What the hell?” he managed to say between coughs. “Who do you think you are, grabbin’ me like that?”

Turning away, the taller man didn’t bother to look at him as he replied. “I am Infinite,” he answered simply.

There was a pause as Scourge seemed to wait for him to say something else. When he didn’t, he furrowed his brow a little. “... Like, that’s your name, or…?”

The man–Infinite, apparently–seemed to hesitate, as if he was surprised that Scourge didn’t recognize him. One of his ears flicked.

“... I suppose enough time has passed that my name is no longer common knowledge,” he mused, half to himself. “Pity. I would have liked to think I made a bigger impact than that.”

Scourge watched as Infinite turned to fully face him again, making him subconsciously take a couple steps back. Man, this guy was kinda scary… Not that he couldn’t take him! He was just giving him the creeps, was all… Cyan eyes flicked to Infinite’s hands as he flexed his fingers.

“I will simply have to remind the world what true fear feels like,” he growled lowly, “and I suppose that starts with you.”

The rock embedded in Infinite’s eye began to glow as he summoned its power, and, to Scourge’s bewilderment, he began to lift off the ground and hover there. It was kind of scary, actually. The guy was floating. What the hell?

Then it hit him. The weapon Eggman had been hoarding wasn’t a gun or a cannon or anything like that. It was Infinite. He obviously held some sort of power that Eggman wanted to weaponize, and that must have been why he’d been locked up in that base… Things started clicking.

Despite Scourge expecting him to do… anything, really…Infinite proceeded to seize up in pain and let out an agonized yell. He suddenly collapsed to the ground, falling to his knees as he held himself up with one hand and gripped his head with the other. “W… What…?!” 

Infinite’s hand moved from his head to his chest where the large scar marked him. When he felt nothing but the scar, he had a look of both anger and confusion on his face, which told Scourge that what just happened clearly wasn’t the plan.

… Interesting.

Scourge stood a little straighter once he was confident that this guy wasn’t about to explode or something, sticking his thumbs into his jacket pockets. “Aaaalright, Criss Angel. If you’re done with all that , I think it’s time we get down to business.”

While Infinite knelt there still trying to figure out what was going on, Scourge began to pace around him in a circle, smirking as he did so. “Look. Like I said before, I rescued you from that base, so you kinda owe me one. But–and hear me out on this one–I’m willin’ to come to a compromise.”

Infinite snapped out of his pained daze long enough to shoot another glare at Scourge as he came around to his front again. “Compromise?” he hissed.

Scourge nodded. “Yeah. So, listen–I didn’t get to introduce myself earlier.” He held up a thumb and pointed it at his own chest, teeth bared in some kind of nasty grin. “Name’s Scourge. If ya haven’t hearda me by now, then you’ve been livin’ under a rock.”

Infinite somehow doubted that this brat had left enough of a mark on the world that anybody off the street would know his name. Still, he let him continue.

“I wanna take out Sonic. I assume you know him, right? Well, I think you’re just the guy who can help me out with that. He’s gotten lucky so far, but I think with you backin’ me up, I’ll be able to finally give ‘em his just desserts.”

The name Sonic caused a spark of recognition to flash over Infinite’s good eye. His breathing began to steady. “... Sonic,” he repeated. “Yes, I am familiar with Sonic .”

The way Infinite said his name let Scourge know that there was some beef there, at least. This worked in his favor. “Good,” he said with a nod. “So we’re on the same page, then.”

He turned on his heel before stopping his walk, facing Infinite to speak to him directly. “Like I said, I want you to help me take him down. Easy, right? In exchange, though… I’ll help you out with whatever you want, too. I dunno if you knew this, but I’m basically just as strong and just as fast as that blue bastard. I could give anybody a run for their money if I felt like it.”

Narrowing his eye skeptically, Infinite mulled this over. He seemed to be recovering from the shock from before, and he stood back up onto his feet. It was evident from how long he took to respond that his mind was…elsewhere.

“... I see.” His tail swished behind him as he thought about his next words. “You are offering to aid me in whatever task I ask of you?”

“Cross my heart.”

Infinite gave a huff before crossing his arms. “... Fine. If you intend to uphold your end of this bargain, then I will do the same.”

Scourge smiled widely, his sharklike teeth almost glistening in what little sunlight was managing to poke through the canopy above them. This idiot. He had no idea that he had every intention of double-crossing him the first chance he got.

He held out his hand for a shake to seal the deal. “Glad to have ya aboard, Infinite.”

Infinite glanced down at the other’s hand before reaching forward and taking it, giving it a single shake. His grip was tight. “Let us make the most out of this partnership, shall we?”

… Infinite was not stupid. He instantly knew that Scourge was going to betray him. That overconfident fool was so transparent it almost made him sick.

But…he could also tell that he had some bite to his bark, even if it was just a little. He was seasoned enough as a soldier that he could see that. That meant he could get some use out of him before he pulled his own betrayal.

He no longer had the Phantom Ruby in his chest, and he was alive, and he had no idea why. If this green idiot could help him figure that out…then he’d play along for as long as he had to.

Either way, he was going to get answers. And once that was done? He was going to rip out Sonic’s miserable little throat.

Aaaa hc’s sorry I’ve just been thinking about these for the past week. This is how I’m gonna write the characters in my rewrite lol totally not projecting on any of these especially not Squilf haha

Leafpool is autistic but she instead holds eye contact so strongly that it kinda freaks people out, but she does it so she can really pick up on the social cues. When stressed she just starts organizing things and the healer den is always incredibly tidy when she’s in there. But if anyone messes with her herbs, moves them around or doesn’t tidy them back up properly she’ll have a minor meltdown and goes on a cleaning spree to fix it all back up. Noises really bother her as well, at gatherings she always has to put two little moss balls in her ears to muffle the noise enough. Not very social and can’t hold relationships that well but when she does have her people around (her family, mothwing lol) she’s like empowered and so much happier.

Squirrelflight has both autism and adhd but none of her traits got picked up so she’s struggling a lot bc her society holds her to the same degree as everyone else. She cannot hold eye contact for the life of her and is constantly have so many thoughts that she gets overwhelmed incredibly easy. But she’s so good at masking her meltdowns and stress that it’s all internal. Like her sister she’s also pretty bad with social cues unless she’s expressly focused on the person speaking to her. She can make many small relationships but has a hard time keeping them, sometimes just forgetting cats exist which she hates. Almost always on a energy high or a crash and has to sleep a lot because of this but she also has insomnia because she thinks so much so she usually can’t. While her sister finds control in ordering herbs she finds it sorting patrols and such and it’s her favorite part of her routine everyday. If interrupted or messed up she meltdowns and has to go to the woods to calm herself down, or to her sister for help.

Sandstorm has adhd. Less thought about this one but she’s very passionate and emotional. She’s even more energetic then her daughter as a apprentice and always went on dawn patrol to get her energy out. Has a lot of hard time focusing and can get a little tunnel visioned on tasks. From finding she’s good at hunting it’s always her favorite thing to do and finds the most comfort in it.

ADHD Squirrelflight is SO real I can feel it. It also probably what makes her so good at setting up patrols and making every member of the clan feel important; she's always considering the strengths and weaknesses of the cats in front of her who clearly don't have a task to do.

I would love to see her create memory aids for herself, like carving reminders into the walls of her den. I have a corkboard on my desk and it helped a lot when I needed it, it would be super cool if she had a sort of Warrior Cat Compliant chart she used to remember everything.

She could even have little figurines for each member of the clan! Like a thorn is for Thornclaw, a really brightly colored rock is Brightheart.

(My ThunderClan Scourge AU brainrot is informing me that he made an actual small statue of himself for her to use; I see him as a craftsman, as many BloodClan cats were.)

Sandy and Leaf are perfect no notes

You know who else is nd? Bluestar. That woman is autistic, and I'm correct about this.

[exocynraku]

scourge redemption au! i know this has been done a million times but shush this is my version - scourge & firestar duke it out of the battlefield, neither of them die, but their both on the brink of death - scourge tries to get up to fight numerous times, but falls back down each time, firestar on the other hand has been trying to get his attention - he does, and firestar tells scourge everything thats happened and that he used to be a kittypet, that tigerstar sucked real bad and firestar wanted to kill him too, and that maybe they could be friends??  - scourge is upset and first and tries to fight but then gives up and explains he was a kittypet too, and only became leader after lying. scourge says he really doesn’t want to be leader, and doesnt want to be bad, but only does it for the sake of bloodclan. he knows that the cats who serve him only have bloodclan, and if that disappeared, they would be lost - firestar regains enough energy to get up, announcing to every cat that the battle is over. he then helps scourge get up who goes over to his cats and tells them the truth. some are disgusted, some understand.  - the clans go home, the still-evil bloodclan cats go back to the twolegplace, and the only cats left on the battlefield are firestar, scourge, the other clan leaders, and the not-evil-anymore bloodclan cats.  - after alot of talking and arguing, the clan leaders have come to an agreement; the not-evil-anymore bloodclan cats (including scourge) can either join a clan of their choice, or leave to be a loner/rouge. if they choose to join a clan, they will have a quick apprenticeship and then a trial before they can be considered truly part of that clan - everyone splits up (ps there are NOT many not-evil-anymore bloodclan cats) with the only cat going to thunderclan being scourge. before firestar takes scourge back to thunderclan territory, scourge says that “scourge” isnt actually his name, and that his real name is tiny. firestar says that now that he’s trying to become a new, better cat, he should have a new, better name. something better than scourge and tiny, but they’ll get to that later - almost everyone in thunderclan isnt happy about scourge being here but firestar says their just gonna have to deal with it. scourge is apprenticed to firestar and gets his named changed; lightpaw! lightpaw is very confused on why he was renamed that and not like fangpaw or nightpaw, but firestar explains it’s to kindaaa represent him becomign better??? i literally have no idea how to explain it just. you get it hopefully. - lightpaw’s apprenticeship isnt about physical training at all, but rather mental training (?). firestar teaches him about clan life, how 2 be a good person, love, etc etc. lightpaw finishes his apprenticeship really quick becoming lightbloom!! at this point, most of thunderclan has accepted him  - lightbloom has alot of trouble making new friends or even interacting with anyone, usually staying in the warriors den for as much time as he can. firestar is able to drag him out and do stuff though lol. eventually, he becomes very good at being a warrior, but still goes to hide in the warriors den every so often if he gets upset. he still doesn’t have many friends, cloudtail, brightheart, firestar and cinderpelt kinda being his only ones. oh also frostfur, but that’s more of a mother-son kinda relationship yknow? - much later, firestar & sandstorm have kits, leafpaw is apprenticed to cinderpelt, but squirrelpaw is apprenticed to lightbloom. and then, squirrelpaw & lightbloom are chosen to go on the journey.  - the journey re-ignites lightblooms fears, and he has the WORST time during the jounrey. the other journey cats try to help him except they do a horrible job and the only cat he’s kinda friends with is crowpaw. (crowpaw & feathertail r also close still)  - oops feathertail dies crowpaw becomes depressed stormfur says later alligators they find the new territory! the journey was very stressful for lightbloom so he’s relived to make it back home. and then firestar says they have to travel again. which makes him upset again but now that all the clans are here and he has more cats to talk to (like his old bloodclan friends) he gets over it quick - timeskip ooo po3 time. squilf never gets with brambleclaw because they never got close on the journey (cuz bramble didnt go) and now she’s a super cool girlboss!!!! leafpool still gets with crowfeather, and tells squilf AND lightbloom about the kits. lightbloom is able to convince leafpool to keep her kits, but she’s still confused about whos gonna take care of them while she does med cat stuff. they agree to 1: not tell anyone who the dad is and 2: squilf will take care of the kits if leafpool is busy BUT!!! everyone still knows the kits are leafpools - thunderclan isnt happy that leafpool, a med cat, had kits but lightbloom defends her any chance he gets. when the 3 r grown up, holly stays a med cat while jay gets apprenticed to brightheart & lightbloom (two mentors, i know, crazy) who help him figure out how to be a warrior and be blind - everything is pretty much normal after that! lightbloom prooobably gets a mate & has kits at some point but i have no idea who it would be with.. mkay, thats all! probably could’ve been better but i wanted to keep it chill this time other stuff - ashfur & squilf were in a relationship at some point, but broke up. because he never revealed leafpool’s secret cuz it was already known, he also doesnt die as quick as normally. he’s still kinda the same in tbc but instead of possessing brambleclaw he posses’ leafpool, who doesn’t die in this au  - brambleclaw never becomes leader, instead squilf becomes leader because i said so. firestar wanted to give the position to lightbloom but he refused it - 1 of lightbloom’s kits recreates bloodclan at some point too btw ehehheh - lightbloom hates brambleclaw. alot. mostly just cuz he reminds him of tigerstar  - lightbloom got the bloom suffix becausee now his full name kinda symbolizes becomign better, blooming into a new life,, idk how to explain it but you can probably figure it out  - this only applies to my scourge design but once he joins TC he cuts his hair off

[gay-salt-amber]

So, you've talked about a lot of the relationships in Moor on the Hill, can you give some headcanons on them please?

❄️ Anon

OOOO yes I can!

I think I've told some of these to @blackbutlerfandomnerddomain so I may steal some of those back idk lol

Idk if I'll mention this in the AU itself but Scourge x Ashfur is actually a poly of Scourge, Ashfur, Ravenpaw, Bone and Brick

Sol is dating Little'cloud and Blackstar, which took a while, especially for Little'cloud who knew all along that Sol was manipulating Blackstar, but Sol loves their bfs

Longfire is very much a thing and I love it so much

Mapleshade, Snow'tuft and Freckle'wish have been a thing for as long as anyone can remember

Ivybreezeant got together a few months Antpelt was killed

Flamejaykestrel dance together a lot in the dream world

Tallstar is the reason the Windclan has gay rights, he is married to Barkface and Jake

Pine'star and Goose'feather married once they died because Goose'feather was finally comfortable enough to be married since he didn't have to deal all of his mental problems now

Blackstar has missed several apprentice naming duties or had them late because Sol and Littlecloud (mostly Sol) were tired as shit from a gathering/moonpool meeting/etc

Barley doesn't know of Raven'paws relationship

Mapleshade has adopted all the gay dark forest cats/trainees as her children

Antpelt will cling onto Breeze/Ivy non stop

Scourge and his bfs are the whole reason Ruggie knew what polyamory was at first

Ravenpaw will just walk into meetings that Scourge is having, give him a kiss and take a short nap on the couch Scourge has in his office and Scourge is 100% fine with this

Darkstripe and Tigerstar's first date was breaking into Starclan and stealing food, very romantic

jay'feather really likes stuff like rings and necklaces cuz he can fidget with them so Flame and Kestrel go and make him so fidget necklace and rings and Jayfeather loves them so much

Berry'nose was so flustered when he was asked to join the poly because behind that big, jock exterior is just a blushy bisexual who didn't know his joke-y flirting would go anywhere

Longtail had to go and meet Jake, Tallstar and Bark'face when he first started dating Fireheart/star and he was so nervous but they liked him pretty well

Blossomfall and Mistberry are the most recent couple in the series, only getting together a month before the canon takes place

So, the first kiss of a dark forest cat to a living leaves a marking, well so do more after that too so now Breezepelt and ivy'pool have more black spots on them then anything, which they actively encourage

Lionblaze is dating Toadstep and Lionblaze hypes him up so much and its just the cutest

Frecklewish brushes Mapleshades hair despite her protests

Snowtuft makes sure that any of the dark forest apprentices have the best clothes for any of their dates

[lea-andres]

Oh, so when @mightourge told me about their neon noire, mortals and demons, dark mystery AU, I did what I usually do when I hear about an excellent AU, which is I hold up Bugbear and go "Where do we cram this?" 😂

Here's the original post:

And under the Read More is the BugBear appearance! Same warnings as the original post apply, murder, demons, etc.

So while Mighty and Scourge investigate the murders, they eventually begin to hear rumors that a mortal actually survived an attack from the demon that's going around murdering mortals. This is their first witness that lived to (hopefully) tell the tale, so they look into it further. They can't find out anything about the mortal, but they learn how she survived: rumor has it the Werebear Bark rescued her from her gruesome fate. Scourge has heard of Bark, and the vampire Fang and the fae Bean he hangs out with, and attempts to talk Mighty down from trying to talk to them. They're useless at best, and dangerous at worst. But, Mighty insisted. This was their only big lead.

Team Hooligan was feeling useless today. Bark in particular wasn't talking. Not only is he still prone to mutism in this AU, he didn't want to tell anyone about the mortal he'd rescued. She'd already almost gotten killed by one demon, and he wasn't about to send another demon he didn't know her way.

While Fang and Bean also refused to tell them where the mortal was, they did learn why Bark wasn't willing to help. Bark was very... close with this mortal. They were good friends before the attack, then had gotten into a relationship after Bark rescued her! As you can probably guess, mortals and demons getting together is unusual, and highly frowned upon by most people in both groups. Bean's supportive of Bark's choice of mate, Fang's VERY vocal about his disapproval, but hey, YOU tell a Werebear he can't be with his mate. See how that works out for you.

Anyway, through some hilarious misunderstanding shenanigans, Bark mistakens Mighty and Scourge for another mortal and demon couple, and finally agrees to take them to speak to his mate. After all, another demon in a relationship with a mortal wouldn't kill HIS mortal partner, right? Despite their embarrassment, Mighty and Scourge agree it's best to play along. Totally just for the case. That's all. 😏

Anyway, so I've dragged it out long enough. Bark's mortal mate is OBVIOUSLY Jewel, LOL. She's been laying low at her friend Tangle's (and her girlfriend Whisper) place until the murderer gets caught. Tangle's another mortal, as is Whisper, but she's a bit more... unique. To the horror of all the demons (except for Bark, who already knew this), Whisper's a demon hunter. Her mask allows her to see a demon's true form, her weaponry's specifically to fight demons, all that stuff. But, she quickly reassures everyone, she's hunting a specific demon, and no one here is THAT demon.

Watching Jewel and Bark interact was starting to give Scourge a little hope about him and Mighty. If this tiny, kinda skiddish beetle could fall in love with this massive, terrifying looking werebear... Maybe... Just maybe...

Anyway, so Mighty asks Jewel about what happened to her. She explains how she was coming home from visiting Tangle and Whisper, and as she was getting her keys out to unlock her door when a smoky, shadowy thing rose up out of the shadows and lunged for her throat. Jewel didn't get a great look at the creature, it was too dark, unfortunately, but she recalled bright green eyes like a lizard... And the thing had no mouth.

Bark had exploded out of a nearby alleyway at that point (he confessed later he'd been tailing Jewel whenever she went out at night, and keeping watch over her place, just in case the demon murdering the mortals came for her), and fought the creature off at that point. He'd gotten clawed by the demon, but werebeasts are very hardy and can tank through injuries like that. Jewel had insisted on treating his wounds after that. And Bark made Jewel promise she'd stay with Tangle and Whisper until the demon was caught.

So both Team Hooligan and Team Sapphire are helping Mighty and Scourge now! Huzzah! Poor guys, those are mostly dead weight LOL.
