So I Have A Second Original Story That I'm, In My Head, Calling It "the Better Warrior Cats" Because

So I have a second original story that I'm, in my head, calling it "the better Warrior Cats" because it's about cats who live in groups and it doesn't have a name

I'm testing the waters to see if this is something other people would like to see

The main character is a cat called Amethyst. She's basically my version of Firestar. She's a ginger cat and comes from outside of the main cat group (however they live far away from humans, so she's not a house cat)

She joins the cat group, but instead of becoming a warrior (or my version of warriors, the role has a different name), she becomes essentially an oracle. It's like a Firestar medicine cat AU but with different characters

Her mentor is the grumpy older cat who gets a prophecy vision about a ginger cat. this character is called Greysight and he's like a healthy mix of Bluestar and Yellowfang

Her best friend is a goofy class clown who is the first to meet her outside of the cat group. This character is named Apricot and she's sort of based on Graystripe and in some cases I added a dash of Ravenpaw and I also sort of added a bit of Sandstorm in the way that she ends up the love interest and her mentor is a very important cat in the cat group (Whitestorm equivalent)

There's no Tigerstar 1 equivalent due to the plot following more of a Broken Code idea but with less possession and lore retcons

I'm also ensuring that ALL of the cat groups are culturally different! The main one has more of a WindClan circa Tallstar's Revenge vibe and there's another one that's super-duper ultra religious. One is kind of like firefighters, basically, but also a healthy mix of what ThunderClan and SkyClan were allegedly supposed to be like. And another one is basically RiverClan but also mixed with arc 1 ShadowClan but also not? Idk how to describe them, honestly, aside from "water and sometimes evil"

The ancestors are also going to have clear rules and limitations. I want them to be more like arc 1 StarClan but even more mysterious and weird

I'm also going to write out the whole code they live by before I start going willy nilly with mentioning the rules because damn do the Erins need to remember their own lore

I'm also going to add new roles that young cats can aspire to be aside from leader-deputy-medicine cat. I'm also separating the medicine cat role into two roles (similar to how Possumbreath does in their own story centered around their OCs)

Also the naming system is going to change a bit to make sure I don't completely copy their system, lol

Anyways, I have ref sheets for Amethyst and Apricot already done, so I might end up posting about this story anyways, but I just wanted to see what people think

My favorite character to toss at walls! It's Felli time!

Nakey version (game accurate nudity) below the cut

Old man! /gender neutral

I love the fact that Felli is the only one who gets older during their relationship with their god lmao

Gem is short lol

I have a big list of characters I want to make so if I don’t get burned out you’ll be seeing a lot more

Oh godddddd 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

He's being so sweet to the kid who's training with him waahhhhhhhh

He's such a great big brother wahhhhhhhhh

Taking care of the poor lynx kid while he's sick and giving him his own meal to make sure he gets better wahhhhhh

*this post was written while watching "Totosai's Rigid Training"

Watching Inuyasha again (I never finished it but it's technically a rewatch where I am), and I think Inuyasha (the character) would make a good big brother

I mean, the way he treats Sota (Kagome's younger brother) is SO big brother coded. PLEASE tell me I'm not the only one who thinks this

*this post was written after watching "Terror of the Ancient Noh Mask"

Leshy can't type well in modern AUs, trust

I mean, the man's blind and probably has ADHD (i'm projecting) so he doesn't pay attention to how the words turn out, he just types and sends shit as soon as he's done

also, he's a chronic 'teh' user instead of 'the' because I say so

no I am not projecting my mistyping onto him, I am telling the truth.

my source is trust me

More info on my AU :)

Sunset Shimmer got her degree at the same time as Twilight and recently got her license to practice medicine

Trixie changed her last name to Lulamoon to distance herself from her family... and cuz it's a better stage name than 'von Gemhouser'

Empress Amore, Queen Celestia and Princess Luna's dad is Starswirl the Bearded, who disappeared a couple thousand years before Celestia became Queen

Amore, Celestia and Luna's mom was called Supernova and she had dominion over the stars and deep space as well as being the first queen of Equestria

Celestia sent Luna to the moon due to a vision she had of Luna being evil, which led to Luna becoming the very thing Celestia feared

Celestia spun the tale of Nightmare Moon to justify her actions

Luna became corrupted due to the sheer amount of magic on the moon (because prolonged magic exposure = corruption and/or insanity)

Blueblood is Cadance's older brother and was sent to Equestria when Emperor Sombra started trying to take over the Crystal Empire. Celestia took him in as her own when he arrived

Filthy Rich is the Mayor of Ponyville, therefore feeding into Diamond Tiara's ego

Chrysalis takes Shining Armor's place to feed off of Cadance's magic when hearing about the union between Cadance and Shining

Discord's statue was in Starlight’s village and he was worshipped as a god there

The magic Luna used to break free cracked Discord's prison and allowed for him to be fully set free when some kids were messing around with his statue

Starlight later claims that she can communicate with Discord after he was freed, therefore allowing the people to fall under her manipulation

Diamond Tiara thinks she's better than the CMC because Sweetiebelle's got a stage magician older sister (disgrace), Scootaloo's parents don't care about her and she's got deformed wigs, and Apple Bloom is just lower class

Apple Bloom gets into a lot of fights due to DT's bullying

Scootaloo's parents honestly didn't want her but kept her to make them look better

Scootaloo is sometimes forced to be a child actor when her parents are short on money

Fleur Dis Lis is Scootaloo's aunt who sends her nice gifts and stuff but never sees her cuz she has the same attitude of Scoots's parents

Alicorn = ascending to royalty. Very rare for an alicorn to be born

The Castle of the Three Sisters was where Supernova sent her kids when she didn't want to deal with them

Pinkie's dad and Mr. Cake are brothers

Changelings in their unpurified form need magic to survive. To purify, they need to show the capacity to care about things beneath them and those around them

Cheese Sandwich is a comedian and sometimes he and Pinkie perform together

Zecora is from over the sea and was once a diplomat. Now she just lives here

Cloudsdale and Ponyville are trade partners

Bright Mac & Pear Butter (AJ's parents) died in a Bug Bear attack

Silver Spoon's family is the third most affluent, but she's DT's sidekick over Sweetiebelle because of a debt Silver's family owes to the mayor

Big Mac & his wife, Sugar Belle, are the heads of the Apple Farm now that Granny Smith is getting older

A. K. Yearling/Daring Do lives in Sire's Hollow and actually once babysat Starlight, Sunburst & Sunset as kids

Sunset and Sunburst are siblings (Sunburst is older)

Starlight and Sunburst are married for tax benefits and had a child (Luster Dawn) to keep up appearances

Uhh yeah. Sorry this is all over the place. I'll probably have more info to come in later reblogs

Compiling all the little details for my MLP AU (now named the Stars and Sun AU) in one post so that I can come back to it, add onto it and so on. Yay!

Dr. Twilight Sparkle is the head researcher and astrophysicist at the Canterlot School of Science and Magic at only 26 years old! Wow!

Spike, age 17, is Dr. Sparkle's only apprentice and closest confidant

Dr. Sparkle's relationship with her parents is messy, but she's very close to her brother, Shining Armor (who is a diplomat)

Twilight got her degree at only 19 due to how genius she was at such a young age

Twilight is the only member of the Canterlot School who speaks with and hears from Queen Celestia on a regular basis

Spike's family used to live in the Dragon lands but moved to Canterlot when he was a baby

Spike is very proficient at magic, hence why he is allowed to be Twilight's apprentice

Apple Jack is the sheriff of Ponyville and main apple cider brewer in town

AJ and Pinkie's moms are cousins

AJ is a heavy drinker and most nights can be found in the town's combined bakery and bar drinking her woes away

Rainbow Dash is the deputy sheriff of Ponyville and local daredevil

RD used to want to be part of the Wonderbolts performers and the Wonderbolts search and rescue team but later found that being a police officer works better for her

RD is usually the officer who bails Scootaloo out of trouble because she is the only one Scoots listens to

Pinkie Pie often lives in the combined bakery and bar, Sugarcube Corner, with her aunt and uncle, but is a wanderer at heart

Pinkie's family are gem miners for the Queen’s treasury and are very strict about their jobs

Rarity von Gemhouser is from the second most affluent family in Ponyville and is the second daughter

Rarity is the only seamstress/tailor and so on in town and one day hopes to have a fashion brand in Canterlot

Rarity’s older sister, Trixie, is estranged from the von Gemhouser family due to her interest in stage performing. Rarity doesn't like to talk about her older sister

Fluttershy’s family is made up of changelings who didn't want to live under Queen Chrysalis's rule anymore. They have all disguised themselves as pegasai to hide their true identities

Fluttershy is the local vet and loves healing little animals

Fluttershy and Zecora are good friends and often swap techniques

Queen Celestia has the gift of prophecy, which has led to her becoming quite paranoid

More to come in reblogs later because I'm busy rn
