I Did This Partly Because I Felt Like Brackenkits Design Needed A Little Something More, And Also To

I did this partly because I felt like Brackenkit’s design needed a little something more, and also to drop a tiny bit of C&Q lore. 

There is a story in Quarryclan that is simply referred to as Barkstar’s Curse. Brackenkit hears this story and is immediately curious. She wants to see if there are ghosts in the woods and drags her siblings along. They sneak out, though are thankfully found and brought back quickly. Hallowkit swears she saw a ghost and is mortified. When she is apprenticed and it seems like it's not going to work, it is found out that she has headache-inducing visions that increase in strength the farther she goes from camp. She is offered to be a medicine cat apprentice by Mallowcloud, who relates with her anxieties and similarly acquired his ability after a dangerous experience. As she grows into her position, she finds that she can also commune with spirits, and later foresees Emberdusk’s death.

I was just thinking, once A Separate Peace becomes public domain, will it get the same resurgence that The Great Gatsby is having now with published fan works and all that?

Because uh... if you know, you know.

I just figured I’d do a map mockup of the territories before I post the next thing about these clans so there’s some context for where they are. It’s kinda rough and now that I think of it, super weird that there’s just a quarry in a grassland near a very scenic beach area, but stranger things have happened in nature (I saw a thing on TV about sinkholes on a beach and that’s some scary shit). The grass is higher beyond this area, which eventually extends into woodland.

 Coveclan territory encompasses the second cliff and a nearby rocky pool area which is great for finding both prey and interesting items alike. Their cats are surmised to have descended from kittypets, which accounts for their more laid-back nature compared to their dry-pawed counterparts.

Quarryclan territory extends outward into the field area, though they do traverse into the forest for better hunting sometimes despite not technically “owning” it. They’re drawn to the forest since that’s where their cats originated from, though there are whispers that more sinister things lie deeper within...

The two clans are fairly peaceful with each other overall. Their territories don’t actually overlap, which is likely part of it. They are also smaller clans and have less issues as far as prey populations and competing for resources goes. But they weren’t always at peace, just ask Ryestar about the leader that preceded him...

I finally came up with a Flametail design! It’s not perfect but it’ll do.

It’s sort of become a tradition for me to draw Silver on 4/20, so here’s him and Shadow wearing hoodies of Pokemon I think they’d like.

My brother requested Pyukumuku and Giratina
