Meet Stormclan
Since you guys wanted to see me play with Birchclan's future neighbors, let me introduce you to Stormclan. Both clans were built using a clan generator, and that generator gave two traits to describe the clan. Stormclan is the Nasty and Dainty.
They live the closest to a river, as well as to the moon ring, a ring of stones where cats go to connect with Starclan. These cats have a reputation for stealing prey, and being rather hostile to outsiders.
Stormclan's leader is the 52 moon old Nightstar, a rather adventurous tom. He and his mate Rainstone have 3 children in total, two of which are apprentices still.
The deputy of Stormclan is 41 moon old Wigeonblaze. I swear this clan is all torties and black cats. Wigeonblaze is the mother of the oldest apprentice in the clan, and the only other apprentice outside Nightstar's kits. The father of her only kit is unknown, however.
If it weren't leafbare in game, I wouldn't be sending all the cats to cas for screenshots.
Anyway, Stormclan's healer(med cat) is 91 moon old Blackbriar, a molly with very thin black fur and a no nonsense attitude. With the molly steadily approaching her 100th moon alive, she's thinking about taking up an apprentice once any new kits reach 6 moons of age.
Now, on to the warriors.
First is 69 moon Noonwatcher, a rather lazy senior warrior with a love for helping care for kits, despite having none himself. He's almost as excited as the expectant queens for the future kits to be born.
Next is 52 moon old Garlicbriar. She is Nightstar's sister, and the only pure white cat while her brother and father are black cats.
After Garlicbriar is 42 moon old Tansyfang.
And her sister, 42 moon old Rainstone.
Next is Wigeonblaze's sister Rowanface.
The youngest of the warriors is Nightstar and Rainstone's only son, Bitterwish. He looks almost identical to his mother, except for a patch of dark fur on his back.
Now for the apprentices.
The oldest apprentice, at 9 moons old, is Marigoldpaw. He is the son of the deputy and an unknown tom. Marigoldpaw has heard many a rumor that his father was some rogue or loner outside the clans, or worse... a Bugclan warrior.... While the young tom doesn't want to believe his mother had a relationship with their enemies, there aren't really many toms in the clan to begin with. His mentor is Nightstar.
The other two apprentices are 7 moon old Lighpaw and her sister Rookpaw. Lightpaw's mentor is Tansyfang.
While Rookpaw's mentor is Rowanface. Rookpaw was born rather weak and small, the runt of her litter. That, mixed with the expectations that come from being the kit of the leader himself, put quite a bit of stress upon the dark molly.
Next are the queens.
First is 42 moon old Brindlefang. She is the sister of Tansyfang and Rainstone.
The other expectant queen is 36 moon old Daffodilear. Neither queen is too willing to share who might be the fathers of their litters, knowing how the clan views outside cats. Daffodilear knows all too well how outsiders are treated, having been invited into the clan by the deputy Wigeonblaze. However, she has hope that her mate might be invited to join the clan as well before her kits are born.
Finally, we have the two Stormclan elders.
126 moon old Slugfur, the father of Nightstar and Garlicbriar
And 121 moon old Spiderleg, the father of Tansyfang, Rainstone, and Brindlefang.
That's everyone currently in Stormclan at the start of me playing with them. Next post will be Bugclan.

Other Ever Afters: New Queer Fairy Tales by Melanie Gillman
a book from one of my favorite comic authors here on tumblr, @/melgillman! if you've been around this site for a while, you've likely already seen four of the comics she's published in this book: The Fish Wife, Sweet Rock, Hsthete and The King's Forest. def give this book a read if you liked any of those!!
like all comic anthologies, its comics weren't all made equal. i think the four i listed above stood stronger on their own than the newer works made for this book. working under the limits of an image post count and narrow work time frame (even if gillman didn't follow the 24 hour rule to the letter) means you must maximize telling your story in the most efficient way possible to get it across the nebulous audience of the internet. comics made for a published book don't have those limits, which is why i think the newer works didn't have the same impact on me.
this book was still an enjoyable read regardless, and i'm excited to read more of melanie gillman's future works! she's got a lot more work on her tumblr, so check that out with her book as well.

“She’s been like this all day.”
Doesong could barely hear herself over Brightsway’s excitable cooing, and Myrtlewing stifled a chuckle.
“My guess is she’s got the new queen roses.”
“What’s that?” Sparktail looked worried as she groomed the little gold-furred runt of the litter. “Is it serious?”
Myrtlewing shook his head.
“It just means she’s not gonna shut up about the new babies for a couple moons. Nothing strange about it.”
Brightsway reached over and batted him with a paw gently, and Myrtlewing resisted the urge to break it.
“Myrtlewing look!” She gestured to the pair of calicos nursing at her belly. “I made these!”
“Yes, Brightsway, you certainly did.”

Cats Wanted
While I'm working out things behind the scenes with my sims 3 stories, I will be adding a bunch of cats to a list and I will create them in the game for future reference.
If you'd like to submit cats for me to create, please submit them to my inbox with the following information:
Name
age(in moons)
sex and gender(sex to know if I should set the cat sim as male or female, gender for the actual story parts)
description of the cat's appearance
are they a kittypet, loner, or clan cat(if a clan cat please specify if they are in Starclan or not)
backstory
I will create any cats submitted, but it will be up to luck of the dice if those cats show up in the story

Fairy tale nerds of Tumblr I need your help.
I've been trying to find a fairy tale for AGES, this has been almost a decades long quest. I first read it in a Highlights magazine around the mid 2000s, when the theme was "Fairy Tales from around the World." Now I don't know if this is actually an older fairy tale or just one that was made up for the magazine masquerading as a story from somewhere else. I've done my own research and have come up zilch.
So, this story was about a prince that was cursed to be a wolf until he was able to bite a bride the night of her wedding. Well, it just so happens that such a woman is riding through the forest with her new beau, a very uncouth man that calls her his "little chicken." Long story short, a pack of wolves waylay their carriage, the wolf prince bites the lady, becomes human again, and they fall in love and marry.
And what happened to her original husband?
Well naturally he gets turned into a chicken and they eat him at their wedding feast.
Classic.
if anyone knows the title of this fairy tale or where it may have originated, please let me know! I'd love to see if I can read it again.
