Just Let Them Sleep, Rowanclaw

Just let them sleep, Rowanclaw

Any cat besides Crowfrost would probably get their ears clawed off if they called Blackstar by some sort of nickname.

Here is some content since I know this ship is starving for it sometimes

Featuring some alt designs I did like... two years ago

"Swiftpaw, from this day forth you will be known as Deadthroat. Perhaps now, in your silence, you will think about your actions instead of blindly moving and foolishly attempting to guide your clanmates into a fight they could not win."

Bluestar sees Swiftpaw's muteness as a punishment from StarClan for rallying cats into what is essentially a suicide mission, and a warning that her leadership is not infallible, that cats will always do things to work behind her back. She recedes more, trusting her Warriors less and less.

Swiftpaw, now Deadthroat, is infuriated at her. Bluestar should be honoring his bravery for doing what no other cat would dare to do, not calling him foolish! Furthermore, she's insulted him and Brightpaw with such... awful names. Of course, he can't speak out about it, which serves to frustrate him even more and he takes to lashing out however else he can. Claws and glares can say as much as words, after all.

Brightpaw (Cloudtail refuses to call her Lostface and Swiftpaw wouldn't say it either if he could) is there to reign him in, and she becomes his voice in a way. He still has some affection for her despite knowing her heart is with Cloudtail, and though Swiftpaw harbors jealousy for the tom for undeservedly receiving a Warrior name before the rest of the apprentices, he has been nothing but supportive of them after their run-in with the pack.

I appreciate Spleens and Tonsils

Dishonored AU where Sokolov’s Elixir and Piero’s Remedy are actually red and blue Hawaiian Punch and the gangs are fighting over which flavor is better.

Just had a thought for what I guess could be called a Warrior Cats equivalent to internships.

As part of each apprentice’s Warrior training, they’re required to visit the other clans for, say, half a moon each (or maybe they just pick one instead)? This way, they could learn about the cultures within each clan to build better understandings between them and pick up new skills.

This could also serve as a source of conflict, since there are going to be cats who would see this as nothing more than glorified spying, maybe refusing to let their apprentice take part and impeding their progress. And of course there’s always that Forbidden Romance Drama™.
