i like nightheart because i think he’s funny. the man is so pathetic. he would unironically go on snapchat and post “streaks. nobody hmu only real ones know what’s wrong.” he cries to my immortal.

#you get it. #nightheart #warrior cats

for some reason tumblr has been reblogging stuff to here instead of my main blog and i have no idea why lol sorry guys

[kipswarriorcats]

watching myself grow to dislike leafpool more while simultaneously starting to warm up to crowfeather has, admittedly, been negative character development on my part. if i got canceled over it i wouldn’t even be mad i’d just be like “yeah that’s fair”

can i just say i think it’s really funny how the erins fucked up SO bad by putting ashfur in starclan that when the writing team realized how fucked up it was, they decided to write 6 entire books to retcon that decision

#as a woman i obv appreciate the effort to fix that mistake #i just think out of context its hella funny to write a whole new series to fix one bad decision #anyway #i love tbc because i love seeing incels face consequences for their actions #ashfur #warriorcats #warrior cats

i absolutely loved the moments of nightheart being a mean and nasty little man, and anyone who didn’t is forgetting who his uncle is.

Nightheart

recolor with the alternate/original ‘flamepaw’ version

#river spoilers #a starless clan spoilers #nightheart #flameheart #flamepaw #thunderclan #warrior #wanted to redesign to better fit his new name #warriorcats #warrior cats #wc design

[kipswarriorcats]

vague river spoilers watch out

hey remember a long time ago when i said i was gonna hold off on designing the starless clan protagonists until the book came out

because i was afraid i was gonna do what i did with rootpaw and make a design that didn’t fit their character

but then i caved and drew frostpaw/flamepaw anyway and made flamepaw a black and orange tortoiseshell

and gave him a bunch of cool flame-shaped markings.

because his name is FLAMEpaw.

remember

#river spoilers #a starless clan spoilers #river #a starless clan #the erins are spiting me specifically and no one else #flamepaw #nightheart #jokes aside i rlly did like the ending haha #i knew i was gonna like nightheart #i just think i have to recolor him to match his new name oops

idk how many of you know this about me but i am a HUGE elder scrolls nerd (im even getting a moon-and-star tattoo!!!!) and also my fav warriors arc is the broken code, because hell yeah ashfur finally facing consequences for his actions. so naturally my next project has been ashfur in the dark forest reciting miraak’s mantra from skyrim. especially inspired by the end bit “and when the world shall listen, and when the world shall see, and when the world remembers, that world will cease to be.” not sure when it’ll be done but i’ll post it both here and on youtube when it is.

with their parents being busy as leader and deputy, you CANNOT tell me that alderkit and sparkkit weren’t being babysat by aunt leafpool and big brothers lionblaze and jayfeather. after losing three of her kits, there’s no one else squirrelflight would rather leave them with. leafpool being the sweet and responsible aunt that spoils them, lionblaze being the one who’s always down to roughhouse and get into trouble with them, and jayfeather being the one who pretends he’s disinterested but in reality loves his little brother and sister more than anything. i can imagine how hard it would be for lion and jay after losing hollyleaf, and while nothing could ever replace their sister these tiny little kits helped to fill a hole in their heart (same with squirrelflight and leafpool).

lionblaze was 100% stoked to be a big brother while jayfeather, despite being fully grown, had spent his entire life being the youngest sibling of the family and was much more “://////” about them at first. but one day squirrelflight says “hey lionblaze is out on patrol and leafpool is gathering herbs, can you take care of them for a second?” and it’s all downhill from there. turns out, jayfeather is a fantastic babysitter. he spends the entire day teaching little alderkit about herbs (and YES he’s very interested in it!!) and letting sparkkit play with his tail. even his snarkiest comments get a laugh out of the littermates. when squirrelflight comes back from her patrol she finds the three of them curled up for a nap in the sunshine, sparkkit sprawled on top of jayfeather’s back and alderkit nestled snugly against his chest. jayfeather’s a lot less reluctant to watch his little siblings after that, and suddenly the grumpy medicine cat isn’t so scary to them any more.

leafpool absolutely spoils her new nieces and nephews. she’s always the first to bring alderkit a pretty flower or find a big feather for sparkkit to play with. squirrelflight gently chastises her sister time and time again. “you’re spoiling them,” she laughs. leafpool purrs and shakes her head before bringing them their latest plaything. she’s the first to bring her quiet, reserved nephew out of his shell, sitting and talking with him in the medicine den while the more rambunctious kits playfight. truly, his aunt is his best friend. one day the little ginger tom toddles up to her and quietly mews “can you tell me about hollyleaf?” leafpool pauses before smiling sadly and telling him stories of his big sister: how she journeyed all the way to the mountains as just an apprentice, how she cleverly learned to hunt and survive underground, and how bravely she fought and sacrificed herself in the great battle. alderkit, tucked against her flank, hangs on her every word, and at the end of her stories asks leafpool if she could take him to the moonpool to meet hollyleaf. leafpool smiles and purrs. “maybe one day.”

lionblaze, on the other hand, is far less reserved. squirrelflight finds herself scolding her oldest son like he’s an apprentice again for getting sparkkit and alderkit into mischief. does he ever learn his lesson? absolutely not. sparkkit absolutely ADORES him though, and she looks up to her big brother as her idol. he’s always up to give the little she-kit a badger ride or play mossball or sneak into bramblestar’s den to play leader and deputy (sparkkit is the leader, of course). even though he’s lost his power, lionblaze is still the greatest warrior the clans have ever seen in sparkkit’s eyes. “i wanna be just like you when i’m a grownup!” she squeaks joyfully one day, bouncing around him and swatting playfully at his tail. lionblaze doesn’t know why, but he very nearly becomes choked up after that and nuzzles her affectionately.

i just love this family a lot. they’ve been through so much, very nearly lost each other and were forced to go on without one of their dearest loved ones. they deserve to be a family again, and i like to think sparkkit and alderkit helped give them that chance.

#canon leafpool is my least favorite character but MY fanon leafpool is supreme #she is best aunt to spark alder and the three #alderheart #sparkpelt #lionblaze #jayfeather #leafpool #squirrelflight #hollyleaf #warriorcats #warrior cats
