Crowbound ♡ He/Him ♡ Moor Clowder Deputy

The well-rounded Deputy of Moor Clowder, Crowbound's a pretty chill yet enthusiastic guy with a solid head on his shoulders. He takes care of most of the official business in Moor Clowder, which would be a mess without him.. although he takes care of more stuff than he should need to

Hes trans :3

A civil war may erupt because crow is super capable of leading the clowder, but he isn't the sheriff (leader) yet because the current sheriff, the anxious mess littleheart who shouldnt be leader, is still living

Im not joking he's holding up the entire clowder

theres an awkward air between him and littleheart since they're both friends and little's grateful to have crow helping him, but crow is everything he isn't and Everyone Knows This, even other clowders

Littleheart kind of sucks at leading, so a lot of cats have grudges against him since he makes the clowder appear weak, so crowbound is also supporting the clowder's reputation sine he defends little and he's an honest guy

this post was so jaysight and rattletail core I couldn't resist

Clamthistle ◇ He/They ◇ Warrior of Ripple Clowder

The newly-minted warrior of Ripple Clowder with Some Issues (he's haunted by the ghost of a guy named Thistleclam because they have similar names 😔)

More info

His mentor was Star Pineheart- before he was deputy. It was apparent throughout their relationship that clam was merely a formality for pineheart to fill in all the required boxes to become Deputy and pursue his ambitions

He is pan & ace and has a kittypet boyfriend <3 shhhh no one tell pineheart

Clam probably has an anxiety disorder of some sorts and being haunted probably doesn't help

He was the first warriors oc I drew digitally!! it was a year ago and looked like this

MY MAN GOT A GLOW UP!!!!! ART IMPROVEMENT REAL 😳

Naming Conventions / [Torchflame rants about their characters #1]

so I'm going to try something new out and talk abt the worlbuilding of my warriors ocs since I've deviated a lot from Canon lol :•]

if ppl are interested maybe I'll make this a series? idk I just like talking about my characters

Main deviation(s) from Canon

Names are given fully at birth

--Rather than leave the suffix up to the leader, the birth parent determines the kit's full name. If, for some reason, the birth parent is unable to name the kit, the duty will pass to the kit's other parent(s), to a close friend, and finally, to the leader.

--It isn't uncommon for specific families to have a running theme with names, such as animals or actions. For example, Littleheart's family was known to have bird names until he broke it

--many of the clowders have superstitions regarding certain names. In Ridge Clowder, the suffix 'rumble' is considered to be bad luck, as it's thought anger the stars and cause earthquakes, the main cause of deaths in their rocky territory. Though there is insubstantial evidence supporting this, many cats assume a "better safe then sorry" mindset.

Alternatively in Moor Clowder, a suffix or prefix related to birds in some way is thought to be a blessing and bring good luck. This is believed so strongly, it is a social taboo to name a kit something unrelated to birds (an example being Littleheart; adding yet another difficulty to his already rocky leadership). This belief goes hand in hand with their belief that the spirit of their dead are reincarnated as birds

• There are no suffixes exclusive to rank

--leaders do not get the 'star suffix and keep their old names, however they are referred to with the star title. Ex. Star Creammask and Star Pineheart. If we're getting real fancy, leaders can be referred with full fancy titles such as "the Careful Star Littleheart", entirely dependent on the legacy they leave behind

--Apprentices do not get the 'paw suffix, though they are often referred to affectionately with their prefix only as a cute nickname. They normally begin to enforce using their full names around the end of their apprenticeships (excluding friends and families). It is a sign of great disrespect to refer to elders or the leader with prefix only

Jaysight ♧ They/She/It ♧ Squall Clowder's Alchemist

designed by Vinnocent on th

first official oc post yayay!! exited to ramble abt the silly lil guys in my head :○]

rambles + more info under the cut

Squall Clowder's Alchemist, a specialized role unique to the clowder. Essentially Healer adjacent, although they are also required to experiment more with different herb combinations for different purposes (it's a notable that alchemists in their history have been either wildly successful or horrible tragedies)

The Healer role is entirely separate from the Cleric (dabbling in omens + communicating with the Stars etc etc) so it's wildly frustrating that the stars are dodging around the clerics to chat with Squall's pissed off alchemist

she has her grandpa's side burns. I'm sure that won't an issue later on

*ignoring the blindingly bright star cat in the corner of its den* so do you think we'll be needing more poppy seeds or-?

they r . so so SO tired of clowder drama

probably besties w its cousin turtlefrost

My favourite internet niche has to be the Brazilian internet genre of GAY PEOPLE PLAYING DODGEBALL.

Warning: screaming. Lots of it.

Thanks to twitter user @ecbahya for putting these in a thread.

Here it is, lads.

I'm at the Bumble part.

My stomach dropped as soon as I realized this was the moment it was happening. I think we as a fandom know what's coming up next, but I do wanna make sure to ring it up again.

Bumble is violently assaulted by the father of Turtle Tail's kittens, Tom. She is a canonical... "survivor" of domestic violence. "Survivor" because she does not survive.

She is constantly called fat and clumsy through the text on these pages. It is up there with Spottedleaf's Heart as a shockingly insensitive portrayal of a serious, dark issue.

I will be tagging #tw abuse and #tw fatphobia, if you need those things filtered.

Be warned and be safe.

As I breed for a shiny Sprigatito I name every one I hatch after a Warrior Cat going down a list alphabetically for when I eventually Wonder Trade them all away and now I think I know what building a pipe bomb feels like. 

[torchflame]

ex-kittypet warrior cat who keeps part of their old name SkyClan-style, but they were a shelter cat with one of those Petfinder placeholder names.

"Yes, I'm sure of my choice, Leafstar. I promise I will be loyal, but I never want to forget where I came from-- it's important that I remember the Cageplace."

"Of course. I understand completely, Ford F-150paw."
