Introducing Carrionclan!
~The adaptable and confident~
A small group of minded individuals they started from a group of cats settled in a church clan before their band broke away over a disagreement with the current leadership. They moved following Calamitystar (previously Bellablue) to a dark grotto with odd creatures and a useful garden of pools that form from the mountains melting ice. While they have a few ancestors that followed them most did not, and their main oracle died on the way.
Named both for the carrion they survived off of while breaking from their previous clan and the sounding of it (carry-on). Calamitystar chose her name for what she thought she rose from and wanted to yield, to be a controlled chaos.
The current cats are:
Leading Star: Calamitystar Training Trillpaw
Second Star: Murkcheep
Seeing Star: Bloodeyes (died)
Cleric: Siphonsnap Training Thawpaw
Mediator: Iceyfright
Senior Cats: Muddymight Training Songpaw
Middle Cats: none
Young Cats: none
Trainees: Thawpaw, Trillpaw, Songpaw
Kittens: Picklekit, Cinnamonkit

Title: Deep Dive
Summary: In a world where ThunderClan absorbed ShadowClan seasons ago, young warrior Weaselface is tasked to rebuild the fourth Clan and take her place as leader. But how can she betray all she’s ever known and loved, all on the word of one ghost with a grudge?
Chapter Title: The How-To Guide to Fighting
Excerpt:
It was a surprisingly warm day for Leaf-fall. Anyone with two bits between their ears was using it to sun themselves; Pinethroat was purring happily in the clearing while Mossytooth snored on his back, paws dangling. Ted had Huggy Bear in one paw and Picklekit in the other, grooming aer with sleepy strokes that trailed off into bleps. Squirrelwhisker was loafed outside of the nursery, actually looking somewhat happy for once. Weaselstar was pacing, because some would claim she lacked a relax button. "Squirrelwhisker," she meowed. "You've been a warrior for a long time." "Calling out my age when I'm too sleepy to claw your eyes out? Well played." "I mean that you've been part of a lot of patrols. Like. A criminal amount of patrols. And you're, well, you. You must've caused plenty of fights." Squirrelwhisker cracked an eyelid, unimpressed.

Bit of a middle ground chapter! It's more of a character study than anything else lol.

@mommyclan A squirming gray kit lay on the side of the Thunderpath, mewling helplessly. They are covered in a slight goo, and later on, they would find out that it was permanent. This sickly little kit is infuriated that they can't get all they want, but they might as well try. Their grumpy demeanor evaporates quickly when a challenge arises, and they are rather adventurous and thoughtful. I think it'd be cool if we wrote that their parental figure was the one who found Picklekit.
Parent pending

Carrionclan~ First 5 Moons
First | Previous | Next
After settling in an odd grotto, the new group settles down. Calamitystar pulls Murkcheep to her side and to mark their new life makes him her second star. Murkcheep is rather nervouse about his new place and shakes slightly but when he meets his loves eyes, he feels stronger. They were safe here and could be who they wanted to be, no more meeting in secret and staying far away in fear.
-Murkcheep and Siphonsnap were secretly mates in Churchclan but when the second there figured it out, they were going to be separated and shamed. But Siphon knew of the rising rebellion so as Bellablue announced her and a few other cat's intentions to leave Siphon convinced Murk they should follow after
The cats in the first ranks of Carrionclan were Bellablue (soon renamed Calamitystar), Murkcheep, Bloodeyes, Siphonsnap, Iceyfright, Muddymight, Spicebite, Thawpaw, Trillpaw, and Songpaw.
Sadly, on the journey Spicebite died giving birth to her kittens Cinnamonkit and Picklekit and Bloodeyes passed out just as they found the grotto, dying soon after from a mix of exhaustion and a heart tremor.
Moons 1-5
Siphonsnap starts collecting a stash of herbs and growing her new population of creatures, notably a swarm of leeches, tree frogs, and geckoes. With her now official partner, Siphon and Murk grow a clump of catmint the first plant of the garden.
Trillpaw starts learning how to climb trees and quickly assess enviorments from his teacher Calamitystar. While he loves to learn he is a bit creeped out by her overly aggresive nature.
Songpaw and Thawpaw butt heads a bit over their shared affection of Trillpaw but with some gentle guidance from Iceyfright they push past it and bond even more.
Muddymight teaches Songpaw how to sit and wait to teach her great patience skills.
Siphonsnap giggles as she inspires the same awe in medicine in her trainee Thawpaw. Soon teaching him how some parasites can even be used as treatments.
In a horrific event a stray starving wolf tries to grab the two orphan kittens Cinnamon and Pickle, but Murkcheep shoves them into safety. Eventually he gets it to flee with the help of Muddymight and Calamitystar but passes out from a bad wound to his neck. Sadly, his wound gets infected, and after a moon of his barely holding on to life his partner decides she can't force his spirit to stay. Siphonsnap drips a poisonous amount of mint tea into his mouth and lets him finally pass.
The grieving molly adorns her pelt with mint leaves and a catnip shoot from their clump to forever remember him.
As Siphonsnap takes a walk to clear her head after his burial ceremony, she feels a faint figure beside her as if a cat is just barley touching her head. Convinced its Murkcheep she frantically tries to strengthen the connection but as she bleeds a leech into her catmint clump the feeling is whisked away. Her connection with the dead weakens even more than it already was.
The kittens are made trainees! Cinnamonpaw is given to Calamitystar for their shared fiery passions and protectiveness, and Picklepaw is given to Muddymight for her ability to teach him well.
Trillpaw has his naming ceremony a few moonrises later in an attempt to brighten the clan's mood and is named Trillchirp for his socialble nature and a little nod to Murkcheep who he looked up to.
Thawpaw is almost named beside him, but she refuses still too grief stricken to even think of being named. But as he fumbles out a refusal her teacher comes up and licks his head. Siphonsnap says that Murkcheep would want his clan to change and cpntinue living even after his death, and that her naming would be an honor of him.
Warmed Thawpaw accepts and is finally named Thawingflower for her love of plants, caring nature and after death as a reminder of Murkcheep who he saw as his guardian.
The younger trainee Songpaw is slightly jealous of both her friends being named before her, but she uses her moon and a half of lone training to become an even better cat. On her ceremony she is named Songsplash for her ability to always come back even after the hardest falls.
On a plant gathering patrol Trillchirp asks about the dead and how Thawingflower thinks life after death is. They bond as they talk even more coming back with a bunch full of poppies and a few fluttering feelings.
After a moon of back and forth, sneaking off to talk, and laughing through the nights Thawingflower gives Trillchirp a courtship gift of poppy petals, matching preserved cathedral fig leaves, and a brilliant feather. He accepts it immediately and the two become official partners. Each wear a fig leaf and construct a nest with the feather in its moss.

Title: Deep Dive
Summary: In a world where ThunderClan absorbed ShadowClan seasons ago, young warrior Weaselface is tasked to rebuild the fourth Clan and take her place as leader. But how can she betray all she’s ever known and loved, all on the word of one ghost with a grudge?
Chapter Title: Wassup homeboys just gonna. Double ur Clan.
Excerpt:
"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Weaselstar asked.
"They're old enough to cross on their own," Pringles meowed calmly. He'd joined her on the sprint across the Thunderpath, meeting Ted and Partridge in the field. Across the way, Ice Cube was explaining the road to the kittens. "'Sides, it's late. No cars are gonna be out this late."
Weaselstar swallowed heavily. She didn't know an exact age on the kits, true, but they didn't even look four moons yet.
To her dismay, they went- not at full pelt, not even at a jog, but at a casual stroll, one following the other following the other, with Ice Cube walking beside the one at the head; Pavementkit. "'Sides," Pringles repeated, not catching on to Weaselstar's private horror, "It's kinda cute to see them trying to look like the Beetles."
Loner parenting is hardcore.
Tumblr media
Sorry for the delay! I was trying to decide what all interactions I wanted to have in the single night. I felt it best for Squirrelwhisker to go stew in her juices a bit, bc I feel like after talking to Hootpaw she'd be all like "FINE I guess NO ONE cares what I think" and sulk for a bit. This will not last, of course lol.
Next chapter is gonna be primarily set in-camp, and miiight lead up to a flashback? I'm not entirely sure yet.

Summary: In a world where ThunderClan absorbed ShadowClan seasons ago, young warrior Weaselface is tasked to rebuild the fourth Clan and take her place as leader. But how can she betray all she’s ever known and loved, all on the word of one ghost with a grudge?
Chapter Title: Meet the Pa- I mean Clan
Excerpt:
He paused, studying her a moment. "Is this... about that apprentice she always talks about?" he asked hesitantly. "Antpaw?"
Weaselstar felt herself beginning to tense, and actively forced herself not to. If you do this every time someone says his name, they're gonna get suspicious! "Yes."
"What... was he like?"
She worked her jaw a moment to consider. It was strange to think there were cats in her Clan who didn't know about Antpaw. It felt like his name followed her everywhere she went. "He was... a rebel. He'd always go sneaking out at night, and he used to toss acorns down on the dawn patrol when they'd tell him not to climb trees. I was pretty desperate to follow the rules at that age, so we'd go at it constantly. He left frogs and burrs in my nest a couple of times, but I used to put ants in his, so I think we're even." Weaselstar stifled a chuckle. "One time he got into the catmint supply and chased imaginary butterflies all day. Spiderstar almost cuffed his ears off." 
"Huh," mewed Ashpaw, having clearly not expected that. "He would've been a good ShadowClan warrior."
Weaselstar felt a pang. She hadn't considered that. "Yeah. Yeah, I guess he would have." She found herself purring. "The kits take more and more after him every day. Featherkit has his playful energy. Elmkit has his rebellious streak. And Spottedkit-"
"You... mean Larkkit and Honeykit?"
Tumblr media
I just wanna note that the reason Ashpaw could figure it out was less "10,000 iq strats" and more just. How dang obvious it is they're all half-siblings when you hang out with them constantly. The one downside to raising the two litters together, I guess.
Next chapter will have a bit more spice to it! Drama, shall we say?

Kittypet crew from Deep Dive for the writing prompt?
Pick a character I’ve written and I will explain the top ~three to five ideas/concepts/etc I keep in mind while writing that character that I believe are essential to accurately depicting them. (Since I don't have refs for all of them, I'm just using google image cats for each one lol)
Tumblr media
Teddy Bear:
Gentle boi! Despite being a giant ball of floof, he's careful where he puts his paws and such
Nurturing instincts, good for Clan life. He might not be a voracious hunter or a strong fighter, but Ted is good at empathizing and helping Clanmates, from taking early morning patrols for them to helping when they're ill
Aro-Ace
Tumblr media
Ice Cube:
Quick learner and fast adapter. He's got good instincts on who to trust and he listens to them
This isn't a writing fact but Ice Cube has siblings and they all have names like Blizzard and Frost and he decided he wanted something sillier
Devoted to his husband and kits no matter what
Has an inherent charisma and fun charm and makes fast friends with most cats
Tumblr media
(Design by @scramblesscribbles)
Pringles:
Very touchy about his old life as a house cat due to being declawed. He'd rather die than allow humans to touch him again.
Wary of new cats and especially wary of a whole group of them, he's not the most excited to be a warrior
Misses his sister dearly, even though they did fight often
Tumblr media
Partridge:
A bit naïve, not understanding entirely what being a Clan cat entails. She simply wants kittens and assumes the forest is a safe place to do so.
That said, as she grows and learns, she becomes a very loyal warrior and mother
A stealthy hunter, but has two left paws in fighting.
Looking for a tom who loves kits and is generally sweet.
Tumblr media
The Kits:
Kitkatkit is a natural rebel. She hates following rules and she especially hates waiting. Think of her like an excitable anime protag.
Pavementkit is a quiet and gentle mediator between their siblings. When he gets older he and Ted will be good friends.
Picklekit is the anime protag turned up to a tHOUSAND. Ae loves bones and thorns and basically all the "edgy" teen stuff. Ae calms down a bit when ae gets older.
Clockkit takes the most after her biological mother. She's very independent and likes to do things alone. She likes being able to provide for others, but is a bit iffy about accepting the same in return

Chapter Title: And you get a kit name! And YOU get a kit name!
Excerpt:
The journey was just as winding, but a little less confusing. They cleared the fields with quick hops, walked across the empty Thunderpath, and followed along the wood teeth into the Twolegplace. Weaselstar was a bit worried she wouldn't be able to find the alleyway pivot, but found she didn't have to, greeted by Ice Cube's gray and white pelt at the head of it.
He spotted her and brightened. "You came!"
"I made a promise, didn't I?" she returned. "Did anyone actually decide to join us?"
"Oh, yeah, of course," he meowed, as if that was somehow common sense. "Teddy's on his way now- he's bringing his grandpa to meet you, and picking up a straggler on the way. The kits have been talking about it all moon."
All of them? Weaselstar thought, pleased.
Tumblr media
It felt best to seperate this into two parts! Next time will be everyone going home together lol. I've mentioned it before in passing but I don't think I ever fully explained it, but I have this hc that cats "cross paws" as a sign of friendship/trust. Just kind of tapping the bends of their footsies together. It's like a handshake only without grabbing. Add that to the random and incredibly overthought concepts in this chapter, alongside my painfully obvious Toy Story reference.
