Rowanclaw is trans. 100% Cannon he told me himself.

[cheerclaw]

I'm shocked that the most cats I've seen headcanoned as trans were immediately eliminated and almost all that's left are cats I've only seen headcanoned as cisgender

you're probably not into the tumblr warriors fandom much, geez transfem Mothwing and Squirrelflight is insanely popular and honestly? I've never seen anyone hc any of these characters as 100% cis.

[wc-confessions]

I’m actually cracking up I just had a crazy warriors interaction with another fan where we were discussing trans headcanons and I said trans Redtail was my fav and the other person said they didn’t like that since Moonkitti didn’t make a video on it but they liked trans Rowanclaw because apparently Moonkitti made a video on it and I started cracking up because why are people taking Moonkitti’s videos this seriously and taking her videos as gospel for even HEADCANONS 💀💀

[velvetvexations]

(WCanon) fun fact! theres a trans man warrior cat! and by that i mean, the authors messed up his gender and made him important to the plot to show hes a man. but i have heard in books written when he was a she-cat, in the allegiances its shown as she-cat. take this with a grain of salt though. Rowanclaw, if only you werent so pathetic(/neg), i'd like you ;-; like, how did literally all the teenagers go join a cult what were you doing

(this might be incoherent, im a little sleepy)

Ah, "trans by editorial mistake", you love to see it.

[skyscratch-wc]

okay first of all those maps are GORGEOUS. im so impressed they look so wonderful! any considerations/insights you have into putting together the territory maps? im chewing on the territories for my own rewrite and would love to hear your thought process

secondly, would you be willing to share whose kits the five are/how they ended up in all their different clans? (also i dont remember - does the ‘kin of your kin’ prophecy go only to firestar or to all of the leaders?)

Thank you!! My main considerations were a) what kind of relationships I wanted the different clans/shires to have and b) how could I make the territories more distinct.

For that first point, I wanted to make sure to keep the relationships between shires balanced. Shires that border one another without major barriers tend to have worse relationships than those who don't. For example, in the Forest, Shadow and Wind border one another and there are numerous examples of them fighting, both in the main series and in field guides. Same applies to River and Thunder, since the river isn't much of a barrier for River. On the other hand, the thunderpath serves as a good barrier between Shadow and Thunder and the gorge does the same for Wind and River. The clearer the boundary, the less aggression over borders. I kept that in mind throughout. What shires did I want to like one another, and which ones did I not? I wanted Wind and Shadow to have a shaky relationship in both territories, since they already have a lot of cultural things that are in conflict with one another (the core one being piety, but that's a whole other can of worms lol).

For my second goal, the main thing was making Sky not just Thunder that jumps better. I decided cats from a rocky environment that excelled in climbing rock faces, etc. would be a good fit for that. I applied the same logic to the lake territory. Shadow is now firmly a bog/marsh group, so I moved them around to the marshy part of the lake and then filled in what was left. I added more houses so Sky could keep Daylight Warriors, which was one of their most unique ranks in canon. My guiding star in all of this has been making the clans/shires unique with different outlooks on religion, differing cultures, differing territories, etc. while still maintaining the unified social structure. Where someone lives can have a huge impact on that. Thunder, Sky, and Shadow all being forest groups bugged me, so I made Sky and Shadow not forest anymore to give them their own thing.

As for the five -- I'll go cat by cat:

Goldenheart is Skyfall:Tigerheart. He is the son of Tawnypelt and Rowanclaw, just like in canon. Only this time, Rowanclaw is the son of Brokenstar. As a result, Goldenheart is the grandson of the two biggest antagonists from the first arc. His siblings are Dawnshine and Flametail, same as in canon again. I broke Jayfeather's power into two and Goldenheart gets the emotion-sensing part that Jayfeather had in canon. Goldenheart can sense the emotions of those around him. He is a hunter, and once Rowanclaw becomes thegn he also becomes the thegn's-heir of Shadoweye Shire.

Lionblaze is the son of Squirrelflight and Brambleclaw (for real this time). Juniperkit and Dandelionkit are now his littermates, and Sparkpelt and Alderheart will be from a future litter. He is Goldenheart's cousin via Brambleclaw and Jayfeather and Hollyleaf's cousin via Squirrelflight. He has the same power that he does in canon: invincibility in battle. He is a hunter of Thunderheart Shire.

Jayfeather is the son of Leafpool and Mothwing (who is a trans molly in Skyfall). He lives in Rivertail Shire with Mothwing and is a physician alongside her. Moth was his mother as well as mentor. Willowshine is now the priest's apprentice. Jayfeather can walk in the dreams of others. He starts out not knowing his true parentage. He is raised as a foundling kit.

Hollyleaf is the daughter of Leafpool and Crowfeather. She and Jay are from the same litter, they just have different sires. She lives in Windpaw Shire with her father, Crow, and was raised by Nightcloud as Breezepelt's sister. She believes she is Nightcloud's biological daughter, and does not know that Leafpool is her biological mom. Hollyleaf has the power of navigation. Her paws will always direct her in the direction she should be going, no matter how lost she is. This makes her phenomenal in the tunnels and as such she is a Windshire tunneler.

Dovewing is the daughter of Nettlesplash and Mintfur of Skyclaw Shire. Ivypool is still her sister, they're both just in Skyshire now. Dovewing is a hunter, aided by her super senses. Just like in canon, all of her senses are heightened and she can see, hear, and smell things that are much farther away than most cats. Her strongest sense is her hearing.

Okay, now the Power of Five prophecy. In the rewrite, all of the shire's preists receive the prophecy, not just Fireheart. In this situation, the kin requirement of the prophecy is not kinship to Fireheart, but instead kinship to Cloudstorm (Cloudstar) of Ancient Skyclaw Shire. Since Cloudstorm's kittens remained in the forest, and his siblings [to be named] went with him to the gorge, his kin could plausibly be in every shire. In order to better match the attitudes of the various shires when Sky is driven out, his kittens now go to the Shadoweyes rather than Thunderhearts. BUT Cloudstorm's son, Gorseclaw, has kits with a Thunderheart molly, resulting in Sky blood in Thundershire. Continue down the many generations and you end up with this: Tawnypelt and Brambleclaw (through Gorseclaw -> many generations -> Tigerclaw), Squirrelflight and Leafpool (through Gorseclaw -> many generations -> Sandstorm), Rowanclaw (through Orchidflame [Spottedpelt] -> many generations -> Brokentail), and Mintfur (through Cloudstorm's sister -> many generations -> Rainfur, her father). Continue this down to these cat's kittens and you get the five, all of whom are incredibly distantly related to Cloudstorm (like there is nearly a century of separation between them in the timeline). But the Stars don't care, that's good enough. The prophecy, There will be five, kin of the skies, who will unite all paws under the stars, is now about the five reuniting the Skyclaws with the other shires.

Hopefully that covers your questions! If you have any other questions, ask away! As you can probably tell, I've got a lot sitting around in my WIPs about Power of Five lol.

Thank you so much for the ask!

[wolvebonez]

who submitted him. LOL

Do you know this queer character?

Ravenpaw is MLM and uses he/him pronouns!

[bonefall]

I wanted to ask something queer because it’s pride month but I can’t think of anything… do you have any queer bb rewrite stuff to talk about?

HERE, have a queer jumble of a bunch of the gay changes in BB;

As far back as DOTC, Thunder Storm was transmasc. His childhood best friend is also his lover; Lightning Cry.

There is a third gender in Clan Culture; Meewa. Gray Wing was Meewa and to this day, the role is associated with parenthood and wisdom.

Bumble and Turtle Heart were mates.

The Clanmew parental terms are decoupled from gender; the Mi is the primary parent, a Ba is a secondary.

For an example; Breezepelt is the Mi of his litters, Harestar and Heathertail were both Ba.

In Clanmew, Harestar had so many Ys in his warrior name (Yywayayiaoyyr) that Breezepelt got the kits to call him Yya.

Bluestar was queer. She had strange relationships with almost everything personal, but the only thing that matters is how much she LOVED her friends and how far she would go for them

The entire Forget-me-not friend group was queer in some ways.

And Bluestar’s friend Rosetail, turns out she's aromantic!

She loves romance, matchmaking, but eventually realized she doesn't like being in one. She just likes the idea a lot.

So of course Thistleclaw was PISSED when his sister claimed Queen’s Rights and adamantly refused to name a father.

She matched up her son Redtail with Runningwind, I like to think she was a very "when am i getting grandkits" kind of mom

Redtail was trans, but also gave birth to his children. That was Sandstorm and Longtail.

Redtail's transness was why Bluestar gave Dustpaw to him, she could see that Dust was working something out and hoped that Red would help

Dustpelt is genderqueer! He doesn't conform to the expectations of toms for his society; construction is largely a molly activity.

One-eye was a legendary builder in her time. It was a high honor when she came out of retirement to mentor him, when she was nearly 20 years old no less!

Cinderpelt was a lesbian, but there wasn't really anyone in the Clan she was interested in. Meh.

I do want to write a little scene where she goes to BloodClan to learn about mobility devices to help Wildfur, and has an AWOOGA moment at Cody

Leafpool and Mothwing are in love with each other, and look forward to every meeting. But they serve their Clans above all. The yearning.

I am very partial to Daisy x Squirrelflight, loooong in the future, after Squirrelflight has found fulfillment in her family and mentorships.

Conversely the untapped potential of Spiderleg x Bramblestar is unmatched. Nightmare husbands, this is the funniest thing I've ever heard of

Heartbreaking! the worst people you know have gotten gay married

Brokenstar and Runningnose were so gay I don't even have words for it, there's homosexual and then there's whatever the hell is going on over there

"My childhood best friend is a manifested curse and I would do anything for him, so I dedicated my whole life to becoming a more ruthless and brutal asset to serve his wants and desires, rejecting the stars and walking into the netherworld with glee, and only finding that it is hell because he isn't there. When you look between us, it's impossible to tell which of us was the monster, and which was the man, and yet I have never made a choice that I wouldn't make again."

Blackstar was aromantic! Russetfur was his lifelong best friend and partner, her death devastated him

He had flings and friends with benefits, though. Specifically, he's homosexual/aromantic.

Russetfur was gay too, I'm not sure if she ever had a wife though

I haven't drawn her yet but I see her as butch. Also she had large eyebrows.

Rowanclaw, honor sired for Newtspeck, was transtom

His apprentice, Talonclaw, survived the mauling because Smokefall did not die in the mountain this time around! They had a summer wedding

Irony struck when Rowan's kid Tigerheart also ended up being trans, but transmolly

Funny coincidence that everyone around Rowan ends up being queer

Tigerheart, who later becomes Heartstar, was in love with Dovewing from the moment they were apprentices on the Beaver Quest, before she even hatched

Dovewing dated Bumblestripe, even choosing him and ThunderClan over the instability of running off with Tigerheart

But when she got pregnant she SKEDADDLED

Lightleap and Shadowsight are biologically Bumble's, but Heartstar adopted them immediately

Heartstar is incredibly smug about this. "My wife. My kids. Cry about it"

Ivypool went through something similar, in a pretty bad relationship with Blossomfall and eventually getting with Fernsong

Only Fernsong is NOT smug, he's an ex-kittypet who joined during ThunderClan's Tempest and BOY HOWDY did he not want to make waves

But now he's dating the deputy's grandchild (thru Lionblaze), has an angry Blossomfall on his ass, and.... it's worth it lmao, have you seen his wife? Marvelous

He is the Mi of the children, this is the life for him

Thriftear and Plumstone are gay

Over in RiverClan, Hawkfrost and Reedwhisker were an item and were going to get serious... but then, well. Hawkfrost went through TNP and ended up dead.

In SkyClan, Violetshine, Dragonfly, and Tree are a polycule

I'm not quite sure what's going on with Echosong, Leafstar, and Billystorm. But Leaf and Billy are together, and I think Leaf has a thing with Echo. But Echo and Billy are not together, and Echo isn't involved with the kittens.

This isn't a queer thing but Sharptooth's wife Cherrytail was spayed. I think Hawkwing and co were surrogated by Echosong, but I'm not sure yet

But I do know that Cherry did not birth those kittens

Over in WindClan, I combined Jake and Sparrow into one character. Tallstar’s Collapse is reworked into Talltail traveling around with him and his group, until ultimately, he realizes it's not that easy to leave his Clan behind

I want to approach it as a tragedy, that he couldn't stay somewhere he was truly loved and happy

He was raising kids with Jake, two orphans they found. One of them followed him, even though he tried to tell him to stay with Jake and his sibling

That kid becomes Flytail, and then Flylight as an honor title

Sunstrike and Furzepelt are gay, and Furze is going to be an AVOS save thanks to Brushblaze, Breezepelt, Harestar, Heathertail, Crowfeather, and two more cats I haven't picked yet

Speaking of Brushblaze, Leo is an ex-BloodClan trader who joined WindClan to be with Onewhisker

It fell apart and he's been bitter about it ever since

Onestar is a disaaaaaaaster

He had a fling with Firestar before Fire realized he was aromantic, and it never would have worked anyway since Firestar was leading a clan

He always had an excuse for why he wasn't doing PDA with Brush, but while he was going through apprenticeship (despite being a qualified adult cat, very frustrating) Onewhisker was seeing Smoke

I kinda just want to remove Onewhisker having Whitetail as a mate entirely, I already fixed the apprenticeship thing but I kinda just like him having someone honor dam for him and he raised Heathertail alone

And lastly, Firestar

Firestar is totally aromantic.

He honor sired Sandstorm's kittens and raised them with her, because she is a deeply reliable friend and ally. They're in a QPR!

There's definitely a couple I missed (toadnettlepool, Sedgecreek x Greenflower) but that's enough for now

[conyferoustree]

ok guys but imagine this

Trans m2f Hollyleaf and she is Hollytuft’s second parent with Cinderheart

Trans f2m Redtail and he is mates with Runningwind and is Sandstorm’s father (this could also kinda solve the Ash-squirrel incest problem)

Trans m2f Mothwing and she is Lionblaze’s second parent with Leafpool

Trans m2f Nightheart because why not?

And of course trans Rowanclaw

[moldsporr]

Alfie did you know that Warriors had a character that actually switched genders permanently. His name is Rowanclaw and he was written as female by the entire half of the TNP arc and listed as one in the allegiances section, but then in book 4 he just spontaneously started getting listed and referred to as male. The actual reason is that the authors Forgor. In fact they felt so bad that they made him important to the plot and be Tawnypelt's husband and then he got her pregnant and became the leader of ShadowClan. While trans Rowanclaw was a semi-popular headcanon for quite a while it was pretty much accepted that it was just one of the 85748963487 silly mistakes by the writers that got somewhat fixed and him being trans is purely fanon. However, years after the fact and one of the writers leaving and the new editing team taking over, in the book "Graystripe's Vow" they actually may have accidentially canonized him being a trans boycat, as the book is a prequel, and they just copypasted the entire allegiances list from the older books (where he was referred to as female), didn't fix the fact that the allegiances indeed list him as female there, confirming the fact that Rowanclaw did, indeed, used to be, a girlcat, at that time period. Transgender by editorial mistake (Twice) (They didn't even fix the fact he used to be a female cat in the older books in the reprints. they just let it stay like that forever)

HELPPPPP

Okay that's genuinely hilarious. His trans swag was so powerful the writers couldn't help but make it canon accidentally

[cheerclaw]

[lockandkeyhyena]

Hi Sasha, how are you doing? Answering to your Rowanclaw question, it was that case of "background character is described with different genders in different books because the author didn't pay attention". Apparently they said something about it in an interview it's in the wiki. So yeah, trans Rowanclaw is mostly fanon interpretation.

i’m going pretty good! finished up the majority of my horse homework so i’ve got time to chill and play acnh

and ahhh thank you for the explanation!

[themightymoose]

Warrior Cats lgbt headcanons

Firestar, Sandstorm, Squirrelflight, and Leafpool are all bi. With Sandstorm and Squirrelflight being more tom-leaning and Firestar and Leafpool are more she-cat-leaning

On top of that, Firestar, Sandstorm, and Squirrelflight are also all trans

Graystripe is pan while Ravenpaw is trans and gay

Barley is also gay

Going back to Firestar, back as a kittypet, he honestly had no idea that being trans was an option. Since all of the neighboring kittypets didn't seem to have a problem with their gender, he just assumed it was a him thing and something was wrong with him

He asked Smudge about it once, confusing his friend. Smudge said he didn't mind being a tom, saddening Rusty

He remembered being jealous of all the toms in the clan, mostly Tigerstar and Longtail. Longtail being so stupidly handsome and Tigerstar's muscled body. Why couldn't Firepaw just be a tom

He opened up about this to Spottedleaf (who will forever just be like a cool older sister to him, nothing more) who just stared at him and went, "You don't know, do you?"

So apparently he could've just eaten some herbs to make his scent more like a tom (got this idea from @barrenclan) and StarClan could've just... done the rest

ANYWAYS 👏

Spottedleaf is a demi girl (she/they)

Tawnypelt, Brambleclaw, and Stormfur are all bi

Crowfeather is pan and Feathertail is a lesbian

Rowanclaw is trans

Mothwing and Hawkfrost swapped genders and are both gay

Lionblaze is bi, Hollyleaf is a lesbian, and Jayfeather is gay

Also we can all agree that Toadstep had a lil' crush on Lionblaze right

That's all for now, might do a pt. 2
