#twolegs' pov

[writingathesisonthoseweirdcats]

LOG 84

Six. Six of the cats, from four different groups, just... met at Druid's Hollow and then left the forest. I'll be following them in my car, Anita will keep you all updated on the situation in the forest if it takes more than 24h before the cats come back.

wtf wtf wtf never have i ever seen a whole group of cats just leaving. are they going to settle somewhere else? but why these six?? it's not like they were sampling from each clan to avoid incest (if there even was a way for wild cats to realize the genetic risks and construct a protocol to avoid it) because five out of six have Thunderclan relatives just going up 1 (one) generation

[writingathesisonthoseweirdcats]

why do you people keep calling me a twoleg. i'm human. it's those cats that are weird

We have got to make like, Twoleg POV a popular tag because I am obsessed with every piece of media thats a twoleg pointing at the clans and going "what the fuck"

[sonknuxadow]

sorry ive been reading the new warrior cats book today and did frostpaw just get SPAYED ?????

[monsterqueers]

Kinda hate that a bunch of randos ruined that one warrior cats outsider human POV blog by trying to break immersion and canon compliance with things the human should not be able to know until they had to close the askbox it was getting so bad and it derailed the whole purpose of the damn blog like 20+ posts in a row is asshole anons who cant take a hint that the roleplayer didnt want to play like that and accept help from anons not playing in-universe.

Like see this is why we cant have nice things like a in-universe-canon post-a-day hybrid roleplay-fic without a whole rules of engagement page pinned to the top breaking immersion. The second it got popular people started ruining it.

Honestly the second the blog started getting anons they should have pinned a 'This is a roleplay/fanfic hybrid blog. Asks and reblogs not playing within the confines of in-universe-perspective will be deleted or blocked. Things like 'wow I heard something about weird cats in my city with dog teeth collars' is fine, things like 'this is the real name of x watch out for y coming in the future' is not'. This blog is firmly in-character, do not ruin it for everyone.' tbh because we all know people on tumblr have no reading comprehension, but it also not their fault people dont want to let things be.

I would not have NEARLY been so kind as the blogger, serious kudos to them on not breaking character once to tell the anons to go fuck themselves and stop ruining the psuedo-fanfic with their unwanted derailment fixit fic.

i still need to finish reading Sky but i just keep forgetting </3

My Changing Skies Predictions : D

Leafstar going blind will be treated as a fate worse than death.

Squirrelstar will be constantly mocked by the narrative and characters alike. Thunderclan will lament that Bramblestar was a much better leader.

While making reasonable decisions, Skyclan treats Leafstar like Squirrelflight was treated as interim leader during TBC.

Moonpaw is a Nightsun baby. She'll get along with and admire Nightheart, but resent and have a difficult relationship with Sunbeam.

Events from past arcs will be brought up in an attempt by the Erin Hunter Collective to show that they totally know their stuff. All of these callbacks will be entirely superficial.

Tigerheartstar's characterisation will change on a whim.

Windclan won't get to do anything. Whistlepaw is mentioned exactly once.

At some point the narrative makes it clear that the writers think Tawnypelt joined Shadowclan after Tigerstar died.

At least one of the three POV characters has barely any plot material. Despite this, they still get equal screen time with the other two characters.

Moonpaw is a medicine cat apprentice. She struggles with horrific things happening to her constantly, and a connection she once thought was to Starclan turns out to be to something much darker. She ends up ostracised because everyone around her doesn't believe her for arbritary reasons.

Starclan do terrible things. One of the morals of the arc is that Starclan is still the most important part of Clan life.

The only thing that is destroyed by Twolegs is the Moonpool. They find a new one (with Tawnypelt or Leafstar sacrificing their lives so it can be found). This restores the status quo.

One of the Erin Hunters declares that they believe wholeheartedly in Starclan and have decided to found the first IRL Moonstone.

[splinterclan]

once moorsnow got over her kittypet/twoleg hate did she just kinda look at snom go “…oh this child needs mothering actually” and emotionally adopt him or what is their relationship like?

Since Snom was basically an adult/older teen when they met they're more like friends than parent child, but they def talk almost daily and eat lunch together and stuff (along with Droplet).

They're the only two (aside from Cedar slightly) who have been directly "abused" by humans (Moor from getting trapped and fixed - only abuse from her pov - and Snom from actually having terrible owners), so they have heavily bonded over that. When Cedar disappeared and it made Snom relive his worse memories Moor kinda mentored and helped him through it and vis versa, comforting him made her feel stronger. They're comfortable with each other!

I think a tiny part of Moor wishes Droplet and Snom would get together now but she isn't gonna express it or pressure them, she just knows he'd treat her daughter right :'3

Okay - about the Moldy House.

Cricket and Co don’t live in the abandoned house anymore as they have guessed what was making them ill was something to do with the house.

They don’t currently have a permanent residence, but Cricket hangs around twolegplace mainly cause that’s the usual meeting spot (he also still wants Fernfreckle to think he lives in twolegplace)

This will come up again later in the comic - some cat Will talk about the house and you'll see why it was plot relevant for them to live there.

The scenes with the stone wall in the bg all take place in the garden of the abandoned house

This may have been confusing, cause we only get glimpses into the Ice family’s group (we don’t have any POV characters in there…. Yet.) so it’s all happened in the bg.

Basically Cricket befriends Fernfreckle (Moon 193 Part 11) after offering to help him with his plans.

Fernfreckle is seen missing from camp (meeting up with Cricket) occasionally (Seen Moon 194)

Around Moon 196 (off screen) Fernfreckle suggests that Cricket and co move into twolegplace, as it could be safer. Cricket, just wanting to get on Fernfreckle’s good side, agrees, and moves his siblings and himself into an abandoned twoleg nest.

(They tend to move from place to place anyway, not really having a specific home, so that’s why they agreed to easily.)

Moon 198 - Cricket and co are very ill, cause the abandoned house is MOLDY! It’s also mentioned on Moon 198 Part 4 that Fernfreckle visits every day. (Or did - before he got an apprentice.)

On Moon 198 Part 5 it’s revealed Fernfreckle has been talking to his StarClan friends less because he’s been training with a friend outside the Clans who he convinced to live in twolegplace. Obviously this is Cricket. Fernfreckle is not aware of Cricket’s….. shenanigans (yet).

In his and Cricket’s meetings they typically talk about Fernfreckle’s goals of making VaporClan safer (which Cricket couldn’t give less of a shit about honestly) and some battle training here and there.

Fernfreckle still wants to find Lilacpaw’s killer (and maul them) - but doesn’t suspect Cricket at all yet, as Cricket tends to put on a nice guy persona around him + other VaporClan cats. (As seen in the pages with Sorrelpaw)

Cricket is a nosy bastard and is paranoid about VaporClan finding out what he’s done and plotting against him - having friends in VaporClan will allow him to know exactly what’s going on at all times.

We don’t see Cricket and co again until Moon 202 Part 2 - where they’re walking through a forest. They’ve left the house by now, and Cricket (before he’s cut off by Sofrito) is saying something about “having a talk with him later” and “finding a permanent-“ (the cut off word is residence).

The cat he’s talking about here is Fernfreckle + he wants to have a word with him about the twolegplace. He didn’t get the chance next time they saw eachother, as Ferny boy brought over some unexpected guests!

Serpentfin has also never visited Cricket - but Cricket knows of him as Fernfreckle talks about him a lot. Serpentfin trusts Fernfreckle wholeheartedly.

The next time we see these guys, we see Twig sleeping in a den in the forest.

THE ELDERS’ QUEST REVIEW

!!SPOILERS!!

Sorry for not posting in months. Been super busy as a late with personal health issues and new hyper fixations-

K review time- Gonna split them up by protags

Moonpaw

• Really love the idea of the design! Super interesting, especially to draw

•I am actually interested in her as a character. Really like how she is not a medicine cat. (I was one of those people who wanted either warrior or leader Frostpaw btw)

•I’m a sucker for introverts and suffer from sensitivity to loud noises and related heavily to the Gathering scene with Moon

•Was intentionally on the fence about the voice due to Moonpaw being a chimera and that the voice could be her ‘absorbed sister’(mainly due due to chimera misconceptions) but, thankfully the sister is just a funky little mischievous ghost kit

•I know it’s technically part of Tawnypelts, but I am excited to see what they do with the sister especially after the prophecy Tawny received. Hopefully not a Ashfur and Shadowsight dynamic again :/

Tawnypelt

•This part may be controversial. Not really involved with the fandom much, but I never really cared for Tawnypelt. Didn’t dislike or like just neutral. I did enjoy her point of view, just not was included in it

•Don’t see chemistry between Crow and Tawny, but if you enjoy it, more power to you

•Praying her point of view won’t just be traveling in the next few books

•Rant about Tiger and Dove : scroll down to skip

I really, really don’t like Tigerstar and Dovewing in this book. I know it’s Tawny’s view, but those two are annoying me so much I can’t help but to think of them when I think of Tawny’s pov. Tigerstar and Dovewing are huge hypocrites here, I get not wanting for your son to leave, but Dovewing literally left ThunderClan before clan swapping was in the code. I used to ironically enjoy Tigerstar due to his sarcastic comments and insanity, but I honestly dislike him so much. He was possessive of Dove telling her to not vist Birchfeather saying he was giving ‘tough love’. Dove is also way out of character too, being kinda submissive to Tiger when it has been shown she is willing to do what she think is right. Loving how Tiger considers emotionally manipulating his son is ‘tough love’. Then he not only does this but punishes Tawny for visiting her grandson??? When he and dove met in secret. The only good thing about plot is that it is treated like Tiger and Dove are in the wrong. Tiger then doesn’t trust Tawny about the twolegs….Hopefully they remove Tiger from leadership or have him apologize <3

Rant Over

•Birchfeather must be protected and have him live a happy life <3

•My main points about this pov so far is just hating Dove and Tiger, but I did enjoy it more than I wrote. Not much more due to them infuriating me but I do hope we get a move diverse location than the lake this arc

Leafstar

•Leafstar is the only one where I don’t have a lot to say. I love her and loving a leader pov in the main series. Dont know how to feel about her as a leader, since it kinda came out of nowhere and was just made for this arc but ok

•Writers do a good job of making the reader sympathize with Leafstar but also make them understand Skyclan’s pov

•Speaking of SkyClan’s pov, I kinda get where they were coming from, but like I feel like most of Leafstar’s slip ups were mainly coincidental. Like I believe they lost the badger fight due to many reasons, but like I feel like it wasn’t Leafstar’s fault. No one knew there were 2-3(I forgot how many) badgers there. It was assumed there was only one so how was Leafstar supposed to plan accordingly?? The only reason Hawkwing succeeded is because he knew how many badgers were there…

Edit: I forgot the whole Starlingpaw and Leafstar accidentally attacking him. Yea that was a bad move on Leaf’s part. But I feel it was caused her being overwhelmed. But it’s still a good reason for SkyClan to be against Leaf

•Kinda iffy on Reedclaw. Know where she’s coming from but I feel like she’s less evil and more grief stricken with anger. Hopefully they make her a antagonist not a villain. But knowing how Berryheart started last arc, I’m betting on her being a villian

•Interesting on having an elder pov with Leafstar, assuming she steps down.

•Said I didn’t have a lot to say but I did say a lot 0-0

Overall Points and Predictions for CS

•The book title made me think it was a traveling book and made me nervous, but looks like we are getting those in the next books.. Srs, why Elders’ quest??? The quest was mentioned at the end, but idk what it should’ve been named-

•All She-Cats pov!!!

•As a mothpool fan, I’m fine with CrowxTawny because it leaves Leafpool open :)

•Don’t know if the villains this arc will be twolegs/nature or cats like Reedclaw or Tigerstar

•Weird new book schedule, hopefully the books won’t be rushed due to the wider gap between books

•Now predictions!!!

•Leafstar will become Leafdapple and will join Tawny and prob Crow on the quest in the next books

•The new territories will be located at the gorge

•Hawkwing either picks a nobody for deputy or Reedclaw

•Reedclaw will be a villain(hopefully not)

•Birchfeather will have a tragic end or will go through trauma(hopefully not, again)

•Leaf dies

•Tawnypelt and or Crow retires

My mom also reads the books and here are some predictions:

-Tawny and Crow live together in WindClan while Crow becomes leader

-Dark Forest reappears or the purgatory thing that happened in Star is expanded on

-Ghosts are expanded on

-most of the next two books are travel books

-Reedclaw becomes Hawkfrost 2.0

Thanks for reading my review!

[uss-sappho]

halfway done The Elder's Quest and having a Lot of thoughts.

overall I am enjoying it. a big reason The New Prophecy is my fave arc is because animal fantasy dealing with human violence and indifference is my favourite kind, and the last few arcs are been almost entirely internal politics. Worldly conflict is compelling to me because what could they possibly do against it?

Tawnypelt was my fave character as a child and i still adore her, so FINALLY getting the POV we deserved forever ago is nice. And revisiting Leafstar has also been enjoyable so far too.

Moonpaw and her voice as compelling, as of course we are meant to think of the lore they introduced in Ivypool's Heart of ancestors becoming guides for individual apprentices, the question is who is the voice/pale ginger cat. Pale ginger as a descriptive reminds me a LOT of Sandstorm of course, and Moonpaw is related to Firestar and Sandstorm, though it is not at all her temperament so it's definitely not actually her. Because they also keep pointing to her looking like half of Moonpaw's fur, maybe they're going to pull some weird, two souls in one body, but I don't reeeallly think so. No full blown theory yet, but using the new lore is Important to me so thank goodness.

I feel they are really leaning into the whole, history repeats itself to those who don't know it, with Tigerstar responding to the twolegs with Exactly the same concern and argument the leaders do in TNP, with those who have lived it being the reminders.

IDK!!! I'm still cautiously optimistic!! I don't need a Lot in Warriors to make me enjoy it casually and so far it's ok!!

[saltsongwc]

can you tell us a bit about nightwhisper? either from ur pov or spottedstem :>

No art here, sorry! A bit tired need to work on comics-

Okay so Nightwhisper in canon is very opposite to how he acts in this au, considering his main reason for joining Tigerstar and Shadowclan was his want for a community he could be a part of, he found it! He's not very sorry for the war crimes he did to get there but he made it!

And then he's never shown again! Like, at all!

Anyway Nightwhisper in this au was a kittypet, a full indoor cat, not allowed to be outside and no contact to other cats for most of his life, which got him very stressed, one day he finally ran away from his house and began living life as one does without a real sense of values, he spent a while by the alleys and as a stray before Spottedstem came to recruit rogues for her takeover of Thunderclan, he thought "Why not", searching for a sense of adventures.

The events of his story follow the same until Spottedstem comes to get him again while he was hiding and badly injured, she tells him he was still useful to her, if he was willing to fight still for her. So he followed her back to Shadowclan and she took over.

He became a very respected warrior once he finally understood how to hunt well and stuff, and he was really up for being part of the community but never really understood, many of the values that came with it, when Spottedstar confessed she was looking to having other kits they were close enough that he easily volunteered, thinking, "Oh this is just like the alleys".

So he GENUINELY did not understand what the whole deal was when suddenly there were whispers of him being "The leader's mate" at first, upon asking, he realized "Ohhh you guys like, make a big deal of personal relationships... yikes". When their kits are born, he can see it clearly that the sense of community he wanted was not really there, as his kits were being whispered to as 'half-clan'.

Then the whole mess of Riverclan happened, and he feared that even if he was Shadowclan now what would happen to his kits in the future? When Spottedstar wasn't leader anymore? He thought of leaving with them back to twoleg place, place them in loving homes, but it would be just a matter of time before they too felt a call to the forest where they belonged, so he dumped them with his sister and her mate and went back to being a housecat (this time to other Twolegs that let him out more often).

LOG 79

I just saw a relay race with cats instead of runners and dogs instead of the stick.

Rustyheart was the last one, and the dogs from the sawmill were right behind him. Then, who arrives? TIGERSTAR WITH A STEEL CHAIR! Come on dude! Aren't you tired of being evil? Don't you want to go chillax??

Anyway Bluestar arrived too and fell down the cliffs with Rustyheart and the dogs.

Stonefur and Mistyfoot helped Rustyheart and Bluestar get on the shore (I suppose, because the trailcams blurred awfully for a minute when Bluestar was in the water).

Will update you on the situation.

Kittypet 🐈

Yuu/[Reader] POV

“Morning!” I meowed happily as my twoleg’s pat my head. I purred and leaned into her touch as their giant hand caressed my head and stroked me down to my back. Looking up at her, I walked a few paw steps behind her as she made her way to the back door and opened it and let me outside. I bounded out and into the yard, happy to feel the soft grass underneath my paws.

My twoleg went back inside, closing the screen door behind them.

I padded over to my usual sunning spot and I layed in the grass, letting the sun warm my fur. I let out a satisfied sigh as I rested my eyes for a bit. ‘such a nice day for a nap…’ I thought to myself as I slowly drifted off.

“CAW!”

I jolted awake, and immediately stood back up when I saw a crow right in front of my face. I leaned away from it as I got even closer to me. “What the…” I muttered as my muzzle scrunched up in confusion. I looked at the black bird in suspicion, it had this weird look in its eyes. Like it wanted something from me. I kept backing away from the bird as it hopped towards me. I didn’t want this thing near me, it gave me the creeps.

I hissed defensively and swatted at the crow, making it jump back. “Hmpf!” My fur puffed up in pride as I successfully warded off the crow. “Not so tough are ya?“ I said mockingly, my muzzle curled up in a smirk. I continued to pounce at the crow making it jump away but it didn’t fly away. Caught up in the chase, I continued to pounce and swat at the crow, not noticing that it had leaded me out of the yard and into the street.

“Hya!” I meowed loudly as I pinned the crow down to the road. “Caught you!” I said happily, my tail raising. I looked down at the crow and noticed that it wasn’t even struggling or anything. It just looked up at me with that same blank creepy stare.

My brow furrowed as I looked down at it worriedly. I got off it but it didn’t get up. “Umm… you can fly away now…” I said as I nudged it with my paw trying to make it get up. It just laid there.

“Ahh…gee…” I muttered concerned, my ears flattened against my head as I looked down at the maybe dead bird. ‘my twoleg doesn’t like me killing these things…’ I thought to myself as I looked around. ‘But…she’s not here…she’ll never know!’ I began to slowly back away but then the bird began to move again. And it flew towards me!?

“Agh!” I hissed as the crow began to attack me. I squinted as there was a flurry of feathers and claws in my face. I blindly swiped around trying to get the crow away from me. I was so caught up in the moment that I didn’t notice the slight rumble in the ground getting closer.

The sound of the monster got even closer, it was quickly approaching. I panted as the crow finally flew away. I huffed and shook out my fur, finally able to open my eyes. And I-

CRUSH

⛰️ for the ask game!!

Thank you ever so much for the ask, and my apologies for taking so long to reply. I was trying to decide what to say, because there is quite a bit of lore but I wanted to try and reveal a lot of it through the story itself. However, there is one big piece of the story that would be difficult to tell through the pov of the cats.

You may remember that a while back I shared a map of what Whistleclan and their neighboring clans’ territory looks like. You may remember that there was a little twolegplace in the bottom right corner, on Whistleclan territory. This was the place Daisypaw was taken when she was captured by twolegs. Well.

This place is in fact a twoleg cult compound. The cult is devoted to an ancient eldritch entity, and had plans to awaken this entity to channel its power for their own ends. The exact entity doesn’t matter. Suffice it to say, it's something that resides deep in the ocean, and it has tentacles. You see where this is going. They had intended to summon it to the end of their dock, and they had the animal sacrifices ready to go, but unfortunately they got the location a liiitttle bit off. The entity ended up being summoned a few miles down the shoreline instead, right outside of the old Whistleclan camp, and took the members of the clan as its sacrifices. The twolegs, meanwhile, are just confused and upset about their ritual failing. They have plans to try it again. There is nothing the cats can do to hinder the entity. It is awake now.

Additionally, if you would like to decode any encrypted messages that may be showing up in posts and you happen to need a keyword, I might recommend looking back through old moon updates to find any oddly emphasized letters :3

[yarrowleef]

I know I shouldn't be caught off guard by this, but it feels like it takes effort to give so little development to the (should-be) prominent female characters in this book

I know I am listening to this book really fast, but I didn't even register when Onewhisker and Smoke became romantically involved. And if Darktail is going to be treated as like...a climactic moment in Onestar's life journey, surely Smoke should be....more then this?? like this is the cat apparently determined and spiteful enough to shape Darktail in some kind of assassin on a life long revenge quest that he holds onto his entire decently-long life. But she's just like...nice and doting, and then says one harsh vague-threat and exits the book.

And I can not tell you a single thing about Whitetail. She is just there. She is there beside Onewhisker so much, and I can't tell you a single thing about her personality other then "likes Onewhisker." Is she more Nothing then the average one-book love interest or am I imagining things? like usually there is at least more dramatic cheesy lines to insist on the pov characters undying love but there's barely even that, but I just straight up do not buy that Onewhisker is particularly Into either of these she-cats

Ashfoot also feels like someone who should be More of a person, especially since they insisted on all those childhood chapters. She's his sister and his first and longest deputy but they have no particular relationship dynamic... She had a speck of characterization as an apprentice when she was the only one who refused to sneak into twoleg place with the others, I guess that bodes for Onewhisker later describing her as "sensible." but after that one moment, she is briefly mentioned mourning for crowpaw and then ignored until she becomes his deputy. And you could forget they are siblings at all with how they talk to each other. She could be any background warrior. It's just. man why are you so disinterested in your new she-cat cast ("new cast" as in the first book where they ought to be important to the POV protag, where they should become actual characters rather then names on an allegiance list)

[wc-confessions]

I had no idea that people hated CrowFeather so much until I got tumblr. I just finished his Super Edition and I thought it was pretty good

Tumblr did make me realize that NightCloud actually isn’t evil though along with the end of CrowFeathers Trial. I think NightCloud should get maybe a novella, her talking about her feelings when she was stuck in the twoleg house and how it felt to finally be wanted was so sad and interesting she would make a good POV
