quick moonpaw design!
i drew her smiling at first but then realized the erins probably wont let her be happy
hastily edited my moonpaw design because apparently chimeras can have different fur lengths? and the erins didnt USE that in the canon design???? i am severely disappointed, authors of cat books made for 8-12 age demographic
I saw this screenshot and I just had to make into a meme. I absolutely love Razzmerry’s BarrenClan. Please check it out! @razmerry @barrenclan
I never read POT so I’ve only gotten to know Hollyleaf through the fandom. This perspective is quite interesting and I never thought of her like that. It does explain a lot of her actions. Also, she looks like someone who’s been woken up from a nap. Very interesting. 👏👏
hollyleaf!!!
hoo boy. hollyleaf.
when i was a kid she was probably my favorite next to yellowfang, and she still is. i like characters that engage in morally questionable activities due to mental and/or physical trauma/stressors and she definitely fits those to a t. I like me a good “final straw” event. But i think a lot of people boil her down to either a hateful unhinged christian or a misunderstood girlboss wincat when she is neither. she is much more complicated and imo, examined from a meta lense, one of the most consistently interesting fem cats in the series in regards to mental illness and the failures of the warrior code/cat religion. i could talk abt her all day but tbh i think that summarizes enough for now. love her so much
Yeah sorry Nightheart but you aren’t special. Just go talk to one of your relatives in ThunderClan about being named after someone who you never met. Maybe they can help you.
nightheart's unique problem.
I can’t wait for Squirrelstar! I can’t believe it’s happening. She HAS had a lot of attention placed on her lately. Still I can’t believe it’s actually happening.
give me squilfstar NOW!!!!
I just noticed this missing cat poster in A THIEF IN THUNDERCLAN. The cat depicted looks ginger. Maybe Firestar’s owners put this up and never took it down. At this point in time they have a new cat but who knows.
Who else could the missing cat be?
Snowkit: You’ve opened your eyes! Now we can go out of the nursery!
Moonflower: I suppose you have to leave the nursery sometime. Straighten your whiskers, I want you to look perfect when you meet the clan.
Bluekit:
This old children’s book is kinda similar to WARRIORS by Erin Hunter. An English house cat, named Tom, goes into the forest. He runs into a mother fox and is chased away. He then gets chased off by a badger guarding her babies. Tom later meets a “she-cat” and has kittens with her.
I know, I know! It’s not VERY similar but the art style reminds me of the old book covers. Perhaps this book inspired the Erins in some way.
I absolutely adore this AU. Someone PLEASE make fanart of it. 😍🤩❤️❤️❤️✨
Tigerclaw and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Senior Warrior Position AU
In a world where deputies can only be named after their first apprentice has been granted their warrior name, Tigerclaw struggles to keep an apprentice alive long enough to earn their name.
or, a comedy-tragedy AU in which having an apprentice isn't enough — you have to see them to their warrior name, and Tigerclaw cannot fucking get any of his goddamn apprentices to live, damn it.
—
It starts out mostly normally, except for the fact that Tigerclaw hasn't gotten any apprentices to their warrior name, and he needs that so he can accomplish his (very noble, of course) kitty genocide goals. And also be the supreme leader of the world or something. Darkpaw died stupidly, he hasn't had a chance since, and now he's got some tiny thing that's afraid of his own shadow.
Well. It'll have to do.
So naturally this man is so protective over Ravenpaw that Ravenpaw barely even leaves his sight. Firepaw and Graypaw think that this is adorable. Look how much Tigerclaw cares about his apprentice!!
Ravenpaw, of course, is fucking terrified and also slowly losing his mind, just in a different way.
—
"Redtail assigned us to go on a patrol to Snakerocks." "OH NO HE DID NOT. WE'RE STAYING IN THE SANDY HOLLOW WHERE IT'S SAFE."
"Nothing matters more to me than making you a warrior, Ravenpaw. Nothing." And the terrible thing is that Ravenpaw is sure he's being sincere.
—
Ravenpaw disappears and Tigerclaw nearly fucking has a conniption because the timing was all RIGHT and he was going to finally get the position AND HE NEVER GOT HIS DAMN NAME FUCK.
"Do you think I could convince the elders that Fireheart was my apprentice?" "Fireheart was Bluestar's apprentice, as approved by StarClan. You're going to have to wait for the next litter to be apprenticed."
So he begs and begs and gets Cinderpaw and then she accidentally falls into the trap he'd set for a better deputy candidate at the Thunderpath. Fuck.
—
Well. Time to resort to drastic measures.
"I was thinking that Darkstripe would have been a good name. Because he had dark stripes." "Again, Tigerclaw, it's admirable that you loved your apprentice so much, but I cannot grant him a name." "Are you sure?" "Honestly, Tigerclaw, I'm not sure he ever would have gotten a name. Missing quite a few feathers from his nest, that one..." Fuck. The worst part was that she wasn't even wrong.
— Swiftpaw and Brightpaw get mauled by the dogs he set up to happen like right after he got the title and they sprang it before and he's like FUCK NOW WHAT DO I DO WITH THESE DAMN DOGS? His world domination plans literally never come to fruition because he cannot keep his apprentices alive/in the clan/his own.
— "Brightheart counts. She HAS to count." "Actually, Cloudtail took over her training…" [demented noises]
—
Turns out that Ravenpaw is alive and no one — no one — in the Harper Collins Extended Universe is happier than Tigerclaw.
"You're alive! …You deserve your warrior name!" "Actually, I've come to peace with my name and my way of life. I have no need for a—" "GET YOUR FUCKING NAME RIGHT NOW RAVENPAW OR SO HELP ME STARCLAN—" "I know you really wanted Ravenpaw to become a warrior," Barley says gently, "but he's made his decision. It's very kind of you to acknowledge that he deserves it, though. You must have been so close as mentor and apprentice." Tigerclaw's eye twitches. "Yes. Close. Very... close." —
He finally, finally retires as an elder after his plans go absolutely nowhere for years on end. And maybe StarClan is still like "Brambleclaw would be chill actually, we can forget that pesky little law" and Tigerclaw is sitting there like "excuse me what the actual fuck?" —
But at this point Tigerclaw is about as dangerous as Ashfur without a freak forest fire. Which is to say about as dangerous as using a leaf as a weapon. Which is, incidentally, how Darkpaw managed to get himself killed in the first place.
—
"Is this the Dark Forest? This has to be the Dark Forest. It doesn't look like Thistleclaw described it, but it must be. This Clan is all an elaborate punishment meted down by StarClan for my sins." "Tigerclaw, sir, I'm just here to help you with your ticks. See? I have the mousebile right here." "…Yes, thank you, Alderpaw." — Graystripe joins him in the elder's den and he's like, "You know, Ravenpaw thought you were up to some… scheme, back in the day. Crazy, right? You've been a model Clanmate as long as I've been alive." [muffled screaming] "Huh, what do you think that is? It sounds almost like someone killed a rabbit, but they know not to come this close to camp…"
Doesn't make sense how in Warriors there's still cats who don't believe in StarClan after Omen of the Stars??? Anyone else ever think about that??
Like, I love Cloudtail, and Mothwing is one of my top favorite characters, but it REALLY doesn't make ANY sense that they don't believe in StarClan or the Dark Forest when it is SO APPARENT in the books that StarClan is incredibly real._.
They scare me too but we have to be kind, they are our future. I feel bad for teasing the whole Warriors TikTok community but people who think that Thistleclaw is a standup guy or ship him with a cat that he groomed need to get out
I fear the Warrior Cast kids on tiktok. They scare me....
This survey is so cool, definitely check it out!
hi everyone! for some fun I made a quick warrior cats fan survey to try and gague things like popular characters, here it is if you'd like to fill it in!
(feel free to share this around friends or crosspost it to other websites! i hope this doesn't come off as me being super nosy, i just love surveys and thought it would be interesting to run one.)
Hi ! I’m an artist and writer and I will mostly post fanarts or ramble about stuff I like here ‼️
These are the fandoms I take drawing requests on from now : TMC, Marble hornets, Creepypasta, SCP, Pokémon, Ace attorney, The Stanley Parable, Persona5, Genshin impact, Cookie run, The folk of the air, The song of Achilles, Warriors, WOF, The Simon snow trilogy, ghost, music stuff, anything Hannibal related, TMA, TMAGP, The bright sessions, Malevolent, Gravity falls, The Magnus archives and Percy Jackson
I only do humanised versions for Warriors and WOF characters btw (I don’t really draw furry or animals) (about warriors, since in my country all the books aren’t translated and because the names are all over the place every time I only read it in my language so no spoil about what happens after the first book of omen of stars or I will kill your family and friends./j
Oh and I love to talk about stuff so you can also just ask random things about mostly fiction, books, fandoms, or pretty much anything as long as it’s not too personal :)
"Don't cry," He whispered to the broken girl beside him on the ground, "you have me."
The girl choked on her own tears. Blood splattered on the dusty dirt ground below them. It was only them left.
"Now... Now the war is over," She wiped her tears away, "when my friends are all dead. And I'm still here."
- Dreaming of Wolves//Story Excerpt
He didn't want this. This wasn't supposed to be possible. Why him out of anyone? Why was he born into this cruel world?
Alexander Birken just wants to live his life.
Even if it means getting his hands dirty.
