Why does Ravenstar hate ShallowClan in particular? He wasn’t alive when the war happened right? And I don’t think his parents had joined yet so I don’t think they would have had strong feelings beyond “rival clan eww”
Or am I wrong haha
not wrong! but he did grow up on stories of the war :) he probably dislikes all the other clans (he sees them as "competition" for fallenclan) but Shallowclan most of all

wait are half clan relationships a Bad Thing ™️ in these clans im curious also im scared for them
oh good i've been looking forward to talking about this
so Fallenclan has a different stance on Outsider relationships than the clans do in the books. they are, Technically, against the rules, but it's a rule that goes generally unpunished if broken, and almost always just has a blind eye turned to it. the clan recognizes that without the integration of outsider blood, there would be some. issues. so nobody ever reports on it if they know their clanmate has a one-off or even ongoing relationship with outsiders, like how Toro remained mates with Jattelik even after she joined the clan. of course, it's generally encouraged to get your outsider mate to Join the clan, rather than remain outside of it, but it'll go unpunished either way. even Ravenstar, as bitchy as he is, won't do much more than a figurative slap on the wrist for someone who broke this rule.
that being said. half-clan relationships are definitely against the rules.
the reason this differs from outsider relationships is essentially just because of inter-clan politics. if you're in cricketclan, and you have a mate in archclan, what happens if those two clans get into a war? what happens if you and the one you love are on opposite sides of the battlefield? there's really no winning in that situation. and what if you're in fallenclan, and your mate is in gooseclan? what happens when prey starts to dwindle in the territories? will you take food from your own clan to bring to your mate? there's a lot of ways that half-clan relationships can end badly. they are against the rules, and they will be punished if broken, usually by having another, more trusted cat act as a shadow to the cat that took a mate from another clan, to make sure they don't make any attempts to reconnect.
still, some cats have managed. usually with one-offs, like Quailcall, but some have managed to keep their relationships going in secret--like with Lightningtail, for instance. The only other cat who knows about her relationship with Lilystem is Crowflame, who has been instructed to keep silent until Lightningtail is dead.
A fun fact for you! Lightningtail is the mother of Mossfrog. Mossfrog is the Adopted mother of Cloudtuft. Here are Lilystem (Lightningtail's mate in Archclan) and Cloudtuft's sprites next to each other.

He looks like his grandpa and he doesn't even know it. Makes you wonder if he was always meant to be a part of the family :)

blossomfur watching her gay ass brother from behind a rock: I'm about to be so fucking funny
but yeah, mystery cat reveal, it's Pondshine!!! he and Cloudtuft have been friends since they were apprentices (which was already frowned upon with the constant Fallenclan-Shallowclan tension), but became mates somewhere in their late 20s. better hope Ravenstar doesn't find out about it :)

Have there ever been any cats who you had plot ideas for that didn't work out, like the cat doing something totally different or dying unexpectantly? Do you ever keep the ideas around in case another cat could be used?
Hmm... not really? Usually if I have a plot idea for a cat I'll do a lot to keep them alive, resetting moons and such. Though there are some things I wish I'd done in hindsight--I wish I'd had Sunwish be more influenced by Wildfang's ghost, I wish I'd explored Goldenstar's grief over losing Morningbloom more, I wish I'd explicitly shown Stormsight finding out that Scorchstar was a murderer, etc

Wolfbite & Bearspring, by Dragon Anon
"Unsheathe your claws."
"What?" Wolfbite's gaze snapped away from Bearspring. Surely, she had misheard Ravenstar.
The tom let out a soft sigh, shaking his head as if disappointed. "Have you not noticed how ShallowClan plagues our borders? Would you fight with claws sheathed when a ShallowClan warrior lunges for your throat?"
"I--of course not." Wolfbite glanced at Bearspring. The she-cat's gaze was impassive, betraying nothing. "But Bearspring is my clanmate. Surely-"
"Surely?" Ravenstar tilted his head, gaze placid. His tail swished ominously. "Do you know better than me, Wolfbite? Better than your leader?"
"No." Wolfbite lowered her gaze. "Of course not."
"Good. You may continue sparring. I will observe."
Wordlessly, Wolfbite focused her attention on Bearspring. The younger she-cat held a determined gleam in her gaze, shooting a furtive glance at Ravenstar. Then, muscles tensing, Bearspring lunged. 
Wolfbite side-stepped the she-cat, causing her to stumble. Using Bearspring's fumble to her advantage, Wolfbite rushed forward to nip at the black and white warrior's flank. Bearspring let out an irritated hiss, whirling on Wolfbite. Her claws sliced through the air, missing Wolfbite's face by mere inches as the she-cat stumbled backward to avoid the blow. 
A gasp broke Wolfbite's attention, and she realized a small crowd had gathering. Kestrelfeather was watching Wolfbite with open fear, while Tangletail gazed admiringly at Bearspring. Marshjump was observing his sister with a frown, Sootstep with barely concealed disdain.
Wolfbite's mind was brought lurchingly back into the fight as she felt Bearspring slam into her. Woflbite's back hit the ground with a painful crack, her vision swimming before her. Bearspring pressed a paw against Wolfbite's throat, claws sinking into the soft fur there. Bearspring's gaze slid to Ravenstar. The tom gave the slightest nod.
Wolfbite felt a burst of panic. Why was no one stopping this? Bearspring's claws sunk deeper into Wolfbite's throat. Wolfbite didn't think, she acted. She surged forward, knocking a startled Bearspring off of her. Hissing, Wolfbite snapped at the she-cat, sinking her teeth into her shoulder and roughly shoving her back. 
Bearspring let out a pained yowl, ears pinned against her head. Blood stained her ebony fur, and Wolfbite felt sick. "Bearspring, I didn't mean..." 
"Enough," Ravenstar's voice carried across the training grounds. "Wolfbite has won this spar. Bearspring," the tom eyed the now limping she-cat. "Your technique needs work. You were reckless and unguarded when attacking Wolfbite. I'm disappointed."
"She should go see a medicine cat," Kestrelfeather mrrowed, stepped forward to stand beside Wolfbite. 
"No. The wound will heal. Let it scar. It will be a reminder of what happens when you aren't prepared for a fight," Ravenstar replied mildly. "Now. Who wanted to train next?"
...
Wolfbite couldn't shake the melancholy hanging over her heart. She had injured a clanmate. Juniperfoot had been furious when she'd learned of what had happened, hissing and spitting at Ravenstar like a mad raccoon. 
Exhaling softly through her nose, Wolfbite halted in front of Bearspring, who had been sulking by herself in one of the camp's many alcoves since the fight. "I brought this for you," Wolfbite murmured, dropping a squirrel in front of Bearspring. 
Bearspring bristled. "I don't need your pity."
"I don't--this isn't pity. I feel bad. Clanmates shouldn't use claws against each other."
"No?" Bearspring leapt to her paws. "You made me look weak in front of Ravenstar, but I'm not the weak one. You are. Your soft-heartedness will get you killed in an actual battle."
"Why are all of you so obsessed with this--this bloodshed? What 'battle' are you even expecting to happen?" Wolfbite retorted.
"Get out!" Bearspring lurched forward, still not applying weight on the side of her injured shoulder. "Leave me alone. One day, Wolfbite, you'll regret this."
"Fine." Wolfbite scoffed, whirling and stalked off. She wouldn't stay where she wasn't wanted. Still, dread hung over her like a cloud. She couldn't help but miss the kittenhood days of her life, when war and death were reserved for stories in the elders' den.
Now, tragedy seemed to lurk around every corner.
Waiting for the opportune moment to strike.
