Heyo! Sorry for the lack of moon updates lately, I had some real life stuff to take care of and the second part of my finals is coming up; really just didn't have the energy is what I'm trying to say. I do have all the moon updates laid out but updates might still take a little while!

Hailstar, it seems your clan doesn't have a healer right now.. do you think someone else might have to switch to the role? Has Starclan spoken to you?

“Has StarClan spoken to you?”

Ravenfreckle’s form casting a shadow over him startles Hailstar awake from his afternoon nap. His frail body has never been made for working all day long, but he can feel his clan’s judging eyes on him all the same.

“Hailstar?”

The leader begins to slowly sit up. Ravenfreckle towers over him anyway.

“They have not.”

The stars have been silent as ever. Hailstar hasn't heard from them at all since the landslide. StarClan has all but abandoned them in the moons since.

“None here have extensive medical knowledge. Stars, even Wildclaw wasn't really a healer,” he continues, copper eyes wandering over his clanmates going about their day.

Mudstripe and Kokomipelt are resting in the healer’s den, even with no healer present. Every day, HillClan fears for their lives with no way of helping them. Together, they’d figured out how to splint Mudstripe’s fractured leg, but there's the ever-growing threat of infection, and Kokomipelt is getting weaker by the day, his wound oozing foul smelling fluids.

“You are the leader.” Ravenfreckle's voice takes on a low, bitter tone. “It’s on you to find a replacement.”

Hailstar doesn't defend himself. His deputy is right, he knows.

But before he can say anything further, the gray form of Riverwhisker joins the two of them.

“No need for that,” the old tom breaks up the fight before it can truly begin. He seems tired. “I’ve never been much of a warrior. Picked up a thing or two in my time. I guess that’s the best we got to work with.”

Ravenfreckle seems pleased at that. Well, not pleased - he never seems pleased, at least not in Hailstar’s presence. But he looks far happier than he did a couple of minutes ago. Hailstar supposes Riverwhisker will be their best shot at saving their clanmates.

As the two older cats walk away, tails entwined, Hailstar settles back down in his spot. He can hear them mumbling to each other and picks up his own name. Figures.

Once again, he wasn't able to solve HillClan’s problems. The clan is right to doubt him; why fight against it when it’s clear he’s never been fit to lead?

#clangen #hillclan #hailstar #riverwhisker #ravenfreckle #text #ask #anonymous #this is something i would have dealt with in the next moon update but i did switch over riverwhisker to healer at that point #because he seems to be the most likely to give up warrior duties #and also to have picked up a few things since he used to mostly work around camp before the landslide #also wanted to try something a bit different for this ask #i really didn't want kokomipelt and mudstripe to die so i knew i had to manually switch someone over

Not even sure if I've drawn enough for there to be any interest in this but feel free to ask the characters anything! I wanna get myself to doodle some silly guys in between moon updates <3

Moon 7

First cat down...

#clangen #hillclan #riverwhisker #hailstar #featherpaw #featherpelt #mudstripe #ravenfreckle #wildclaw #kokomipelt #animal death #my art #shoutout to wildclaw who did absolutely nothing and then got bitten and died. king shit #no more healer for hillclan we'll see where it goes #also whatever's going on with the gay old men

[hillclan]

Kokomipelt, how is the clan life treating you so far ? Do you enjoy it ? What caused you to leave your twolegs ?

Kokomipelt has just been hanging out since he came in with a fresh bite wound so he's really enjoying being a clan cat so far! Plus he can see his buddy everyday now without Hailstar having to hide.

His owners threw him out when he came home with a cat bite, unwilling to pay any vet bills for him. He doesn't like to talk about it, but he really misses them as evident by him keeping his old name as part of his new one.

#clangen #hillclan #kokomipelt #he is literally THE funniest guy in this clan just wait for the coming moons #i also imagine him to be a purebred abyssinian since he sorta looks like one #which makes his owners throwing him out even more wild #as for the collar i drew on him when he and hailstar were first seen together #i guess his owners took that off to avoid anyone from tracing him back to them #anyway. enough sadness. kokomipelt is one of my absolute favorites in hillclan i love him so much #can't wait to draw more of him #my art #ask #jellicledelice #what does kokomipelt's backstory teach us? keep your damn cats inside

[hillclan]

I just realized that I messed up Kokomipelt's age, I accidentally took it from a different screenshot than I meant to - he's actually 59 moons when he joins HillClan!

Moon 5 + 6

Two at once because they weren't all that eventful - Wildclaw getting bitten and Cloudmeadow becoming a warrior happened in moon 5, Kokomipelt joining, Wildclaw's wound getting infected and the fight on patrol were in moon 6!

Anyway - welcome Kokomipelt to the clan! He has the loner background listed in his profile but I choose to believe he's the kittypet Hailstar was hanging out with the moon before...mostly because he came in thinking about Hailstar.

Another honorable mention:

Hailstar, you havent had a very easy start with hillclan ! What do you think of being a leader ?

Hailstar became leader very shortly before the landslide killed most of the original HillClan, so he doesn't have the long standing respect the former leader had. He's been sick a lot since then and is constantly doubting his leadership. Whenever others look to him for guidance, he fumbles under the pressure.

Hailstar doesn't like being leader, but someone has to do it, and he's been trusted to protect HillClan.

#clangen #hillclan #hailstar #ask #anonymous #i think the only cat that has little/no dislike for him is cloudmeadow where i'm at in the game #everyone else regardless of their other feelings for hailstar have (had) some dislike for him #literally every single moon has at least one negative hailstar interaction where he fails to be a leader #so he hasn't. been doing too hot #maybe that's why he snuck out to meet kokomipelt before he joined the clan #he also gets sick ALL the time #maybe from stress who knows #VERY excited to show what's in store for him >:) #my art

[hillclan]

i have no idea how awkward Tumblr is with links give me a second I'll. reblog with the link and see if that works

#text #resources #really hope they put in that you can toggle the prey thing off in-game #it's a nice idea definitely but not when you can't do anything about your cats dying just by loading in at the end of a moon after updating

[hillclan]
