Nutmeg: Your help today was invaluable, Scourge. Thank you.
Scourge: Uh- yeah...sure...whatever
The leader of Hope Colony and her emo, emotionally-constipated second taking a stroll after a mission.
More info under the cut:
It dawned on me that there would be a fairly large time gap between Scourge and Nutmeg's experiences with the clans. Now, I could make Scourge younger, but I think I can make it work
So, Tiny makes it out of his house, barely alive with some fresh wounds and his collar broken off, and runs into the city after a forest cat raid. While he never does the whole dog and Bloodclan thing, he does grow skilled in ways to survive in the city and builds his own reputation.
Four years afterwards, a new name is sweeping the city, Nutmeg. A kittypet who not only managed to save two of her kittens in a raid but killed a forest cat while she was at it...and lived. She rapidly gains followers and builds up a group she names the Hope Colony.
Their mission: Keep the forest cats out of their homes and away from their kits by any means necessary.
Scourge is down for getting some forest cat blood on his claws and breaks his four years of routine to join. Having lived most of his life by himself, he's difficult to work with initially, but they help each other and eventually get along. Eventually, he becomes her second.
Nutmeg has a very warm, friendly personality. She's very charismatic and people-oriented. She generally prefers to try diplomacy, even with forest cats. If that fails, she turns to the power of incredible violence.
Scourge is always down for the power of incredible violence. He's well known for doing the "dirty work" of the Hope Colony, mostly because that's what he's good at. On the inside, however, he's struggling to live in a group after spending most of his life watching out for only himself.
Bro barely remembers to eat most days yet now he's supposed to keep up with the dynamics of the different city groups as well as forest cat issues. ugh. Politics.
As seen in the photo, Nutmeg freely gives compliments and expresses gratitude. Scourge is unsure how to react to the feelings this brings up.
Designs:
Nutmeg is now buff because Nutmeg deserves to be buff. And Squilf gets her tail from her grandma. She has scars on her side and on the eye hidden by her bangs from Thunderclan's raid on her home. The other scars are from the many fights she's been in since then. She still lives with her humans, though she's gone much of the day to run the Colony.
Scourge now has his iconic red bangs because I can't give him his edgy personality and not have them there. The fur naturally grows like that because I said so. The scars on his leg is from the forest cat raid he escaped from. The ones on his face are from random fights. He's also underweight cause he forgets to eat when in a work mindset.

I hope The Spot gets to die as a himself like pre-powers. It’s likely he’s gonna destroy himself trying to destroy Spider-man (I think he’s gonna for the mythos of the hero not just Miles, if the flash forward is any prediction) cause he’s either not gonna be able to handle the full effects of his abilities it and needs to be saved but it’s too late for him or does some not fully redeeming sacrifice as he realizes he didn’t have to resort to villainy and doesn’t want to go out with people fearing him rather than respecting.
It’d make the point that anyone can be Spider-man under the mask string as it’d point out that depending on circumstances anyone could become anything. In this case none of them would know The Spot personally or even in passing as Johnathan Ohnn, so seeing a complete stranger, someone who could of been anyone, defeated at the end of the battle would invoke a lot with the random chance and fate that comes along with being Spider-man if not just going through life rather than the adherence to canon events that is trying to be pushed on characters.
I feel like giving the Spot his face back would just make the climax feel more complete, an odd commentary on being true to oneself even if it is past your time.

I am a terrible person and did something unforgivable last night.
While sleeping in my recliner I was having a vivid dream where something was attacking me and I was having difficulty moving my arm to fight back. Then my arm was able to move and I felt it connect with something soft and furry.
I had punched my elderly cat who was sleeping on my chest.
I punched my 18 year old Rockhead and it's one thousand years jail for me, if not more
He is okay, he just hid under my bed for several hours and would slink/run-hide whenever he saw me for a bit but he's currently sitting in between me and the computer demanding to be comforted for the mortal sin I committed.

I also want to change Squilf and Leaf's relationship to become antagonistic after Leaf returns from her journey of self and societal reflection. So instead of rivalry and sibling jealousy we get an extreme difference of ideals. For one thing it adds nuance to their relationship, and you get that sweet split of Squilf marrying for the benefit of her clan to Leaf defecting to the detriment of the clan. That and Firestar favoring one child over the other is unrealistic within the universe itself. He favors his family as a whole, not individuals
...except Brambleclaw cause fuck him.
