[ID: BB!Bumblestripe and BB!Ferncloud having a conversation during Ferncloud's Parting. Bumblestripe says, "when you set off on a quest for revenge, you have to dig two graves." Ferncloud responds, "no, one grave fits multiple bodies."]

Grandmas will casually drop the most INSANE thing you ever heard in your entire life and then go right back to making chicken cutlets. What's up with that. Gamgam what were you up to

#Ferncloud's Parting #Better bones au #I did art for Willowpelt too I'm hopefully gonna drop a character summary on her soon #I have stopped being normal about this rework actually it has started consuming my thoughts #I just think Ferncloud deserves it <3

How the turns table...

@blorboclaw I told you to expect fanart

I just really find it funny how Firefrost was watching Ashkit as if he was the next coming of Tigerstar and now Ashberry is having a mental breakdown every time Firefrost so much as breaths next to the guy.

Read Firefrost and Owltail. They are both amazing, so much better than what the Erins have made in my opinion.

(Also YES, the characters look different, those are their genetically accurate looks)

GUYS. GUYS.

As some of us warriors fans know, BrambleClaw nor GrayStripe deserved to be deputy (maybe Bramble but he became a bitchy leader) so I GOT AN IDEA!!!

In the fight of bloodClan, where WhiteStorm dies and FireStar announces GrayStripe deputy. Well, what if he chose LongTail to be the new deputy instead??

LongTail then chooses to retire (fuck forced retirement because he got blinded. blind cats are actually really good hunters so he and JayFeather could be like the hunters of the clan alongside SandStorm) and instead of FireStar choosing bramble to be deputy, he chooses CloudTail?? (BrakenFur would be a good choice as well.)

Then, when FireStar dies, CloudTail becomes leader insteaddddd???

AND, what if this is the same au where FeatherTail gets saved by Squirrel and the same au where BrightHeart dies instead of SwiftPaw??

BrambleStar’s nine lives included FeatherTail so imma switch it up a lil bit.

CLOUDSTAR’S NINE LIVES:

1. FireStar, a life of courage to make the hardest decisions.

2. BrindleFace, a life of understanding the love of a mother. ( this life was originally given to BrambleStar by GoldenFlower but golden isn’t cloud’s mother )

3. BlueStar, A life of clear judgement of character.

4. MouseFur, a life of listening to your elders.

5. LionHeart, a life of having the greatest pride in your clan.

6. FernCloud, a life of honoring queens.

7. CinderPelt, a life of offering second chances.

8. BrightPaw, a life of exploring the borders beyond your clan. ( this life was originally given to BrambleStar by FeatherTail: But this is the same au where Feather and Swift survive so BRIGHT IT IS)

9. RavenPaw, a life of speaking out against injustice.

Thank you for your time <333

( @featherfrond and @espressopaw what do we think??)

it’s the spotted gray family of thunderclan! tadaa!

i like designing these guys in family batches instead of being on their own. but i’ll have individual cats who i’ll grab every now and then. but for now--here’s the brindlekids! keep in mind though, most of these are my headcanon versions of these guys. so if they differ from canon, that’s just how my variation of them is.

brindleface is the spunky-big mamma of thunderclan. she’s the sweetest cat you’ll ever meet, who will almost immediately come to your rescue even if she just met you. but man, will she scold you up and down for being such a feather-brained fool! she’s one of the best clan “wrestlers.” due to her being so fluffy and strong, brindleface is very talented at pouncing and fighting, and will even challenge cats at gatherings to see if they can even get her paw down.

oh the bitter boyo, ashfur. he’s probably one of the most canon-diverging characters i have, so sit back and get ready for this guy! ashfur is a goofy guy, who likes playing around and making quips if given any opportunity to do so. he has a tendency to be pretty sharp with his words though, so one playful jab can turn into a quick remark on something you might hold dear. he has a bit of a grudge streak, which is an unfortunate mix when it comes to his relationships. which especially holds true to his boyfriend, brambleclaw. those two could fight all day if you left ‘em at it.

my sweet babi babi girl, i love her so very much. ferncloud is the gentle jam of her family. while her ma and brother are rough and rowdy, ferncloud is much more preferential to sitting aside and cheering them on. she’s not much of a fighter, and she isn’t the best at remembering stuff. but what she does love is taking care of others! be it getting them prey, cleaning up some of their nest or even getting them little presents! she may not like fighting or rough housing, but she will walk about the forest and find the prettiest leaf for her friends!

elderkit and tulipkit weren’t initially in the plan to add to the family, but i figured “why not.” i don’t have a lot of notes on them, but they both are very much their own characters. elderkit and tulipkit weren’t alive long enough to fully develop themselves, personality-wise. but they were still very important to both their siblings. elderkit is the lazier brother, while tulipkit is the sweetest boy, who just adores hearing stories of all sorts. and when taken to starclan, they both wanted to wait until their mother was with them until they could reincarnate.

aight! all done and finished. with that, please enjoy this doodle of brindle and her babis

My friend suggested that Darkstripe had fathered brindleface’s kits in this au he was talking about and I thought that was kinda cool so I redesigned them! Ashfur and Ferncloud are basically the same while elderkit and tulipkit have more of Darkstripe’s features

Base is by googaoo on deviantart!!

Does Cloudtail still get adopted by Brindleface if she's his mentor?

She's a mother-figure of sorts, though it's not accurate to call it "adoption". He doesn't consider Ashfur or Ferncloud his brother and sister, but does view Brindleface as someone he deeply loves and trusts. She didn't nurse him, sure, but she still makes a huge impact on his life and they're extremely close.

By the time Cloud is brought to ThunderClan, he's already weaned in this rewrite, so he doesn't need someone to nurse him rather Fireheart always watching over him and the other queens lending a paw as well.

Cloudpaw is not the easiest apprentice to work with though.

I'm still wading through some brain fog so I'm not writing as much as I want to, currently. But I have just been absently sketching Willowpelt because she's been on my mind

I had initially been working with the "hyena" face in mind, but I've been playing around with the "villainous role" idea for Ferncloud's Parting. I mentioned it to my partner who pointed out that big, strong profiles like that are overused for "vengeful" characters.

Besides, I really love drawing that face shape anyway, so I figured I'd move away from it since it's going to be on a LOT of RiverClan cats in particular (they have longer muzzles than other Clans because they hunt in water).

I'm leaning towards "bat" now... maybe I'll retool it so it's more deer-like. Deer are totally underused as inspiration for harsh characters...

Anyway ready for some WIP material? Plus a recap of Ferncloud's Parting for all who need a refresher

(oh wow it got long. The power of girlies <3)

FERNCLOUD'S PARTING... Refresher!!

Replaces Graystripe's Vow completely, taking place just after the Impostor has been deposed and is imprisoned. Ferncloud is now the main POV, accompanied on her journey by her childhood best friend Cloudtail and the Impostor's surviving lackey, Bumblestripe.

The goal of this SE is to explore Ferncloud's relationship to her younger brother, Ashfur.

(BB canon: Ferncloud and Elderberry are the older kits of Brindleface. Ashkit was a singlet born shortly before his mother's death, raised by Fern, Elder, and their grandmother One-eye. Fireheart botched the Queen's Rights while claiming Cloudkit, but for all intents and purposes was socially his Mi... which he was not good at being. Cloudtail was Ashfur's mentor and Ferncloud's childhood friend.)

Ferncloud is asking herself the question; "What could I have done to prevent this?"

A lot of secondary questions revolve around this... Does this make her responsible for what Ashfur has done? Did she teach him anything that contributed to who he is today? Does that make her responsible?

Cloudtail is in a similar situation, as Ashfur's mentor and someone who only ever wanted to help his friend. Could HE have prevented this? He wants to find out.

Graystripe, oldest cat in ThunderClan, accompanies the little group as far as the mountain... and decides to stay there, with his golden boy, Stormfur.

Bumblestripe had come along with them all, for... a lot of complicated reasons. But the most relevant is that he had been one of the Impostor's most loyal, brutal enforcers. Berrynose was killed in a huge skirmish, and now there's just Bumblestripe left alone to shoulder his sins.

After saying goodbye to his father for what's probably the last time, getting to meet the mythical oldest brother he's been compared to his entire life, and seeing Cloud and Fern looking to visit the Old Forest Territories... Bumblestripe goes with them even further to make sure the old cats stay safe.

Like Graystripe's Vow, I'm planning to keep the split chronology. It goes back and forth between Ferncloud in the Broken Era, and Ferncloud back during the Fire Era.

The ultimate moral here, the point I want to build to, is that Cloudtail and Ferncloud did exactly what was expected of them. They raised a loyal warrior who holds the code above all. They're only responsible for Ashfur insofar as they were responsible for teaching him the same values of vengeance, violence, and distrust of outsiders as was expected... in Firestar's absence.

(Though... there's lots of other questions that I don't think FP will answer. Like, COULD they have truly stopped him? Can they ever understand WHY, if they don't currently? There's a LOT of feelings here and I don't know if all of them really have answers.)

WIP STUFF TIME

Here's new stuff, I've either not mentioned this before, or I've mentioned it in passing without actually linking it to Ferncloud's Parting.

I have a LOT of ideas here that I have to start sorting through. I think these characters are all really interesting so it's really a matter of cutting down all these little details into something more coherent.

When Ashkit is young, he's a child. There was nothing particularly outstanding about him, besides the fact he was a bit lonely and eager to please.

There's a bit of an air of "loss" when Ferncloud thinks back to Ashpaw's childhood. Elderberry and One-eye will be dying soon after the "flashback" segments, so when she goes back to the modern era, thinking about them feels bittersweet.

I also want to sneak in that Ferncloud feels jealous over Cloudtail's mateship with Brightheart lmao, because she has a crush on Brightheart. (Note, maybe tie this to Ashfur being obsessed with Squirrelflight, with Fern questioning if her jealousy rubbed off on Ashfur)

Through helping WarriorClan, Bumblestripe feels REALLY good. They don't know anything about his past, his struggles, or his failures as a person. He's just a hero to them and that feels... good.

Watching Bumblestripe be good, learning more about his issues and WHY he did what he did while following Ashfur brings Cloud and Fern some insight... but not entirely what they need. Is Ashfur just a Bumblestripe on a bigger scale? Or are they just learning more about how good of a manipulator Ashfur is? In which case... where did that ability to manipulate come from?

Fang/Honeysuckle might be Bumblestripe's half-brother. If that's the case, Bumble is... frustrated by it. MORE of his dad's complicated legacy.

Ferncloud and Cloudtail probably have some short discussions about how much is really appropriate to teach to WarriorClan... after all, they're here questioning if any part of Ashfur was THEIR fault, what if they accidentally teach them something terrible?

But at the same time, Ferncloud is the Educator of ThunderClan, and these cats can't write. The Glyph system would be very useful to them, and they're begging to learn more about Clan culture.

Putting a pin in that part, for now. Will tie back more into the conclusion that the Clan cat party ultimately reaches.

BACK IN THE PAST; Firestar is away bringing back SkyClan in Firestar's Quietus. Everything that is done is without him.

Longtail, the deputy, is blinded and a leader does not immediately rise to fill the space in ThunderClan.

And in BloodClan, their trading partner... Scourge does the same. Oops! WRONG TIME, SCOOJ!

Planning to retire, Scourge announces an event called The Frenzy. He will choose the next leader from whoever accomplishes the biggest achievement in the given timeframe. This is how BloodClan passes on leadership.

He gives his chosen heir, Claw, their first Frenzy Achievement-- the fang of a dog from his own collar. Anyone who wishes to take power instead must accomplish a feat even bigger than what had allowed SCOURGE to take power in the first place; Killing a dog.

Fury is a challenger. She does NOT want Scourge's chosen heir, Claw, to lead BloodClan next. Claw will continue the trading and friendliness towards Clan cats, which Fury wants to end.

ENTER WILLOWPELT

Willowpelt ALSO wants this trading with BloodClan to stop. She feels it's gone too far.

BloodClan killed her mate-- Whitestorm. Firestar might have been willing to just throw his life away for this, but she's NOT.

She's recovering from a boar bite, currently, but it's scarring up nicely... and she's willing to pretend she's injured a little longer if it shakes suspicion off her.

She doesn't WANT to be allies with Fury, but if her goal is to bring BloodClan back into isolation... then, Willowpelt will do it.

And Fury promises her something else; Revenge. Scourge is the reason why Whitestorm died, and together, they can ruin his plans and make him watch as his peaceful little power transfer crumbles into ash.

GOOD SETUP IMO but I still need to work out what nefarious deed they'll do, exactly. All I know is that Fury will betray Willowpelt at the height of it. Maybe something about taking over Barley's barn. Maybe Elderberry gets killed.

But, I have one very strong feeling in mind; Ferncloud probably ends up killing Fury while Ashpaw watches or even helps.

Hmm... maybe Graystripe (becomes deputy as soon as Firestar gets back for handling this crisis so well) ordered them to let Fury go.

But Ferncloud looked at Fury, and decided that Willowpelt was right about one thing. Most BloodClan cats cannot be trusted.

The code does not apply equally to outsiders.

Maybe I WILL have Fury end up killing Elderberry in some way, and then give Ferncloud and Ashpaw a conversation about it. "Those who don't live by the code will not be protected by it. And we must protect our Clan... even if Graystripe doesn't realize it."

I could make it clear that Fury is not a threat at that point, having been beaten in some way and Claw ascending to BloodClan leadership. OR I could have left it open-ended, like, maybe Fury would be a future problem, maybe not. Not sure yet.

Willowpelt of course will also need to experience some consequences for this... unleeeess, I have Graystripe let her off really easy exactly because she's Clanborn, which even Cloudtail is frustrated about, maybe even coining the term "Codebreaker" as an insult under his breath.

In any case, Ferncloud never told Cloudtail about how she secretly killed Fury. It's too juicy to have her reveal it to him in the modern day, explaining that it IS her fault, she DID teach him the wrong thing.

Hmm... I'm talking myself into it. Though I did also like the original vibe that Ashfur's tyranny was kind of unknowable, trying to make sense out of a senseless thing he did. I think it feels a lot more interesting for Ferncloud to have been hiding this for literal years, and now feeling like she has to "pay the world back" for what she did.

Maybe even build towards something metal about Fury's grave. Hmm... maybe to hide the murder, she buried her in Elderberry's freshly dug one, since no one would notice the soil had been recently disturbed as it was JUST dug.

Buried my sister and my secret victim in the same grave. ~Just Girlie Things~

Cloudtail sitting here, War Criminal to the right and Secret Murderer to the left like "can i ever be around normal people. like, just once"

Jokes aside... Cloudtail needs to point out something very important. Ferncloud regretted what she did, and she never did what Ashfur is doing. She never sought power, when Firestar came back she's lived a long life without ever once undermining him, and even her beliefs have softened over time.

She was a Traditionalist back then, but is Fire Alone now. After everything. The destruction of the forest, loss of her kits, WindClan rebellion, reveal of Squirrelflight and Leafpool's secret...

She's helped to raise every new generation as the Educator. And yet, Ashfur, the Impostor, is unique.

And look at Bumblestripe... being Graystripe's son didn't stop him from being the Impostor's lackey.

We all make our choices. HE made his. You made your own.

But... I don't feel like Ferncloud can entirely accept that as an answer either. There would be a very forlorn sort of feeling here. Yes, we all make our own choices-- but we influence each other. For better and for worse. And she refuses to avoid responsibility for that.

Maybe in that moment I'll have her make the choice to return home, and BE the one who becomes the Light in the Mist to face Ashfur in the Dark Forest. Seems to be coming together.

Birchfall! he streeeeeeetching!!

I made him basically a light brown version of his mama Ferncloud!

in RoC Birch is Ferncloud's only surviving bio kit, as she only had one litter (Birch, Holly and Larch) with Birch being the soul survivor. Fern had no mate when she had her litter, and she had chosen to use an outsider as a doner.

I think that Ferncloud was left very traumatized by what happened to her first litter, loosing two of the 3 before they even reached apprentice hood. Which is why she never chose to birth another litter of kits, despite loving being a mother and wishing for more.

However Fern eventually became mates with Daisy and became like a second mother to Daisy's first litter! and in the same way, Daisy became like a mother to Birchfall, despite him being a full adult. Birch would act a bit annoyed by Daisy's mothering, but he secretly loves it and loves that his mom found such a kind mate.

When Fern and Daisy decided to have a litter together with a donor, Daisy was the carrier and Fern was very protective and scared for her kits and mate for a while because of what had happened to Fern's first litter. But Birch was there for his mama and helped calm her especially when greencough came to the Order and threatened her kits.

Birch also still becomes mates with Whitewing but they are not the parents of Dove and Ivy! instead they are the parents of Ambermoon, Snowbush and Dewnose!

[Image ID: a digital drawing of Birchfall from warrior cats. His left side is showing and he is stretching with his front legs close to the ground and his back legs stretched high, he has a happy expression with a smile. He is a slender long furred light brown spotted tabby tom with teal-blue eyes. He is mostly a light brown color with darker brown spots and stripe down his back. He has white on his underbelly, and the bottom half of his legs, it also lines his eyes and he has a small heart shaped white spot between his eyes. His nose, paw pads, and inner ears are all light pink./End ID]

So @skotty2298 posted a picture of a whole bunch of geese and asked if anyone has designed a bunch of Goosefeather designs based on a bunch of different geese.

Because in my AU, Frostfur and Brindleface are Goosefeather's children and the white goose looked like it could be a good inspiration for a Frostfur design, my brain escalated to making Geese inspired designs for Goosefeather, his two daughters, and all six of his grandchildren. Please enjoy my burst of manic inspiration that kept me up till 1 in the morning so I wouldn't lose said inspiration.
