#stormclaw talks

[fearless-stormclaw]

To celebrate me starting the last chapter of the main part of the first book of my Owl House HP AU here are some sketches of some of the kiddos!

I might put colored versions of these drawings into the final draft.

(Fair warning, I do not claim to be an artist. Headshots are about the extent of my abilities.)

First up, our protaganist, 11-year-old Luz Noceda! She wears her hair in pigtails most of the time. The image on the right is a possible design of her with her hair down. (or a possible Vee, whose design I haven't fully pinned down yet) And I realized I forgot her scar whoops She's also supposed to have a scar across her left eyebrow which I forgot to draw but please imagine it's there.

Next up, 11-year old Amity Blight! Her little ponytail was an absolute pain to figure out how to draw. I think I managed it passably though. Her hair is dyed green, like it was in season 1 of the show.

12-year old Willow Park! Poor girl, she is haunted. Sorry, eyes are still a weakness. She's a year older than the others but still in the same grade because her birthday is after the first day of school. For Willow, this adds to her feeling of being behind everyone else.

9-year old Gus Porter! I should mention that the witches in this AU have normal round human ears, just like the wizards in the Harry Potter books. I imagine little Gus to have quite large ears that he will grow into some later. Again I apologize for the eyes.

11-year old Boscha Malphiday! I'm really pleased with how she turned out, although I struggled with her third eye and I'm still not 100% satisfied with how it turned out. Her surname in this AU is a play off of Malfoy--Malfoy comes from the French for "bad faith" (mal foi); Malphiday comes from "mal fidei", Latin for "bad faith".

13-year-old Hunter! He only appears as a cameo in the main storyline of Book 1, but he has a big part in one of the bonus epilogue chapters (which I haven't really written yet). In this timeline, he has only recently officially received his Golden Guard title. He hasn't gotten his cheek scar, ear notch, or eye bags yet (they will all come in due time) but he does have his tooth gap. He got that from getting his face punched in during training. I drew his Golden Guard uniform with only the one pauldron on his left shoulder as in the show, but I'm thinking of giving him a second one on his right shoulder like in the storyboards.

Meet 15-year-old Oliva Che'! She's one of my OCs. She's basically the Oliver Wood character--the captain of the Owl House grudgby team. She is a very spirited and gung-ho type and very enthusiastic about grudgby. She is in the construction track, although she is not a huge fan of the coven system. She's kind of a fun big sister to the younger Owl House students. She is of Yucateca Maya descent. She has brown or gold eyes. Her hair is naturally black but she dyes it a different color every year and usually keeps it in braids. This year it's pink. Unfortunately Paint did a weird thing when I cropped this picture and made her blurry I am so angry Her Palisman (not pictured) is a black spiny-tailed iguana named Toloc.

Meet 16-year-old Saka Katu! She is another OC. She is a cat demon girl and Oliva's girlfriend and also plays on the Owl House grudgby team (mostly because Oliva insists). She is in Potions track and believes deeply in the Coven system. She's a little uptight, some might call her bossy, and big into following the rules. She's kinda of a strict big sister type to the younger Owl House students. She keeps Oliva from being too reckless while Oliva keeps her from being too stiff. Saka is Malagasy for cat and Katu is Basque for cat so her name is literally "cat cat". She may or may not have a Palisman; if she does, it's some sort of fish.

Last but not least, 11-year-old William Myrtus Warthorne! His design is based off of Ser William from the audio tests/pilot. He is described as a handsome boy--broad-shouldered, with blond hair and blue eyes and a hooked nose which I swear I fixed but somehow it's still wrong ORZ. He is in Goat House and is friends with Boscha, but he doesn't participate in bullying (he doesn't do anything to stop it, though, he's just sort of there). He has a friendly, laidback personality and can get along with just about anyone. It's not discussed in this book (it's more of a plot point in book 2), but his family, the Warthornes, are a cadet branch of the Clawthornes which is why he has Clawthorne and Wittebane features.

[wildfire-rewrite]

instead of actually finishing the work i have to do, I have been working on Cloudberry, Goosefeather, Featherwhisker, and their many Sentry issues.

big wall of text under the cut!

Cloudberry is Goosefeather's mentor, and is actually only there on full moon days. She was the Cold Creekbay Sect's Sentry. This means that Goosefeather doesn't have a stable mentor or parental figure after his parents' deaths. When Cloudberry dies, Goosefeather is indifferent. He's more upset at the ghost of his predecessor, Oatspeckle, who didn't bother to look for a Sentry's apprentice until he was already dead. Cloudberry is succeeded by Brambleberry in Cold Creekbay, who is very old by the time that Feathertail ends up training under her.

Goosefeather is such an interesting character. He has a single sister who dies during childbirth, and who claims to see spirits and of whom talk to him often. He and his sister, Lilybloom, are isolated together. He first trains as a Basekeeper's apprentice. However, when Lilypaw starts pursuing the older apprentice named Stormpaw, he gets a vision. Heavy rainfall and blood stained grasses. A stone silhouetted in the distance with a wilting lily at it's base. Gooseclaw knew this was horrible for everyone involved, and with the sect down a Sentry, Gooseclaw told someone. Sun Pineheart understood and made a treaty with Cold Creekbay for their sentry's training, in return for Sunningrocks during the wintertime. They agreed, and training began. That's also when the teasing and anger began. The circumstances to the vision itself were hidden from the clan, but the metaphor was not lost to them. A storm and a wilting lily? Their apprentices are hurting each other, so the sect 'separates' them. They sleep in separate dens and aren't given time alone with each other. Stormclaw reacts with bullying and assault, actually attacking Gooseclaw at one point. Lilyclaw expresses her anger with her brother and cuts him off almost entirely. It completely isolates Gooseclaw. When he is named Goosefeather after his late father, Rookfeather, that's his breaking point. After this, he claims he can see ghosts and actively talks to them. Often. During a meeting with the other Sentries, he will talk to spirits in front of them. In the base, in front of others, anywhere. They are with him.

This is one of the reasons I will never imply anything would be from Goosefeather's perspective. Does he actually see spirits, or not? Thus, we head to Featherwhisker. Goosefeather's "little cousin" as he called him.

Featherwhisker was found dying on the edge of the territory, and Goosefeather brought him back to the clan. He claimed it was a divine choice that this kitten be allowed into the sect.

As he aged, Goosefeather basically raised them, but refused to be called the kitten's parent. Due to that, the sects cannot actually call this adoption, and this is also how Goosefeather ends up calling Featherwhisker "little cousin" and such nicknames. Featherwhisker thought it meant that they were on the same level of importance, and that included the family generation and mutual respect. Goosefeather meant it in a sillier way that he refused to comment on. Conversations often went like this --

Branchgaze: So.. why do you call Featherwhisker 'little cousin'

Goosefeather: I'm just that silly. No extra comment.

Branchgaze: what??? Please elaborate?

Goosefeather: Nope!

(btw, Goosefeather and Branchgaze totally have homoerotic tension but since Goosefeather can't get cat married, they don't becomes mates)

Featherwhisker actually trained fully to be an herbalist before he was given to Goosefeather as a Sentry. Goosefeather was in denial about the whole situation, and was actually dealing with a barrage of visions about the Breezemoor-Nightfall conflict happening. He hated that his little cousin was going to end up like him, isolated.

Being a religious figure is hard work, especially when nobody treats you as a real organism. You are just a figure for them, and nothing more. Isolation is apart of the job, and when death calls, at least a Sentry knows what to expect. After Goosefeather died, Featherwhisker realized that he was right, in many ways.

So, they ended up realizing many things about themselves. They were a catte at birth, but once they realized that being a kattu was an option, they took it.

They also ended up pregnant and gave birth to Speckletail and adopted Whitetail when she was found. As of right The Forest Calls, they are a great-great-grandfather and are very old.

They do know who the next Sentry will be, and as they gaze longingly at the nursery during their last week, they hope for the future, and beg the stars that she'll do the right thing.

Time to talk about more OC things

We’ll take a look at these two today

These are Snowstorm and Stormclaw

I’m sure you can tell who is who, but for clarity the white tabby is Snow and the other one is Storm

(Also not sure if I used the correct pan flag on Stormclaw, I was working with a lot of misinformation at the time (April ‘22))

Snowstorm is trans mostly because her color palette, since the very beginning, has just been white, pink, and blue, specifically shades of the latter two that were really similar to the trans flag

I’m sure it would be epic if I had some amazing reason for her to be trans, but sometimes it just be that way, y’know?

Anyway, Snow and Storm have been dating since before Snow’s transition (?)

Snowstorm is a very confident cat. She would make an excellent pick for Chasm Colony’s deputy, with her devotion to her fellow colony members and her drive to do the right thing. She keeps calm in tough situations.

Stormclaw is her supportive mate. He shares many of the same qualities as her, but he doesn’t speak his mind as much as her. He does a lot more sneaking around, which tends to get him in over his head. He is the main camp guard of the colony.

Stormclaw: Medicine cat by training, but warrior at heart

Meet Stormclaw! A ShadowClan warrior, who’s fate seems to be hanging in the balance every day and has been convinced to become the new medicine cat of ShadowClan. While not a medicine cat by training, he learns quickly from his mentor and quickly succeeds them once they pass on to StarClan.

Despite his new role inside the clan, Stormclaw still possesses a will to fight and die for his clan, despite the fact he shouldn’t be on the front lines. Because of this, he has gained a reputation around the clans to never underestimate him if he is out collecting herbs, as he is more than willing to fight an incoming patrol to protect his clan.

However, he has had talks with ShadowClan’s leader and deputy multiple times in order for them to try and convince him to forgo his old warrior ways and focus on helping the clan as a medicine cat should.

While he agrees to this, he hasn’t stopped partaking in battles, despite the clan holding him back at camp to wait for his time to help.

He does have a softer side to him though. He is very comfortable around clan mates, other medicine cats, and some other cats he has met at gatherings, thus being more open to them about his fears, any aspirations, and of course his feelings towards some of the cats in his clan. While a medicine cat by training, his heart will always lie as a warrior.

And because of this, his ferocity is only matched by his compassion for his clanmates and the love for someone special in his life.

---------------------

Author’s Note:

While I don’t have an actual OC just yet, mainly due to me trying to find a good adoptable and not finding any I liked currently, I decided to go to my roots and make an old Warrior’s OC I created back when I first starting roleplaying.

#my what big teeth you have (visage - Stormclaw); #teaching the wolves to hunt (headcanons - Stormclaw); #this is really going to be a test muse than anything else #I don't entirely expect to use him a whole lot but he'll be here! #more info and his card will come tomorrow when I have the energy to put his info on the main tumblr page #warrior cats #warrior cats oc

Storm Warband #2: Callum

This one got long but I'll keep it below the cut! Enjoy more Guild Wars 2 au!

"You hit it, you break it." Primus Runaan says nodding at the practice dummy beside him. "There is no in-between." he looks at the cubs who he was assigned to train and educate. All parents either were out of the picture or killed in the war. For charr, the family is their Warband.

Callum's parents were different. They took care of him for a year, fed him, and then sent him to a fahrar in the sky legion. They had visited him more than other parents do. Something that is heavily frowned upon in their culture but it's not as common either for parents to keep in touch with their cubs. They were both tribunes for their respective legions: Moon and Sky Legions.

He was sent to Moon after his parents had died. He had no friends nor anyone he knew at the Moon Legion's fahrar. His primus, Runaan, had known his father and claims to have known him as a cub. But Callum doesn't know him.

"When will we break the dummies?" a cub with dark fur and black fur on his head spoke up. Runaan looks at them with a raised eyebrow. "Primus Runaan?"

"You will in time, little one." The charr grumbles annoyed as if he had been asked this question a lot. Callum pities him. At least, he does at first.

Before he knew the truth.

The cubs had all cheered at that. Had cheered during classes and training. Though some of them weren't looking forward to drills and waking up early.

Callum hadn't minded the early rising parts.

"Primus Runaan, when will we choose our Warband?" Runaan's ears perk up at the question raised by a single black-furred female charr with white circles around her eyes. It was a great question. The primus had wanted important questions and not stupid or dumb questions.

"When you feel like the ones you had befriended are worth fighting for and binding your lives too." the primus had answered.

Callum looks to the charr that had saved him from the older charr's bullying.

___

"Storm Warband, go to the desert and work on finding the oasis before the soul fangs do!" Tribune Tiadrin yells as she sits on her raptor beside her mate, Lain. Her helmet almost casts a shadow over her face as the sun's rays cast over them. "You have an hour to make it before the soul fangs are set loose. Go!"

Callum Stormclaw had never seen Soren nor Nyx pale as fast at the mention of soul fangs. The snake would take victims' souls and leave their bodies to haunt the desert as husks. The thought of his Warband becoming husks made the cadet shiver.

Rayla snorts at her warbands reactions and jumps onto her raptor. "Enough worrying about what if's. Let's go before we find out what husks look like!" she commands and starts racing towards the oasis location.

Callum races after her on his mount, not bothering to look behind him to see if the other two are following him. They were. He could hear them panicking at every single noise.

They ran into Primus Runaan, who acted as their obstacle, and had no choice but to fight him. Soren and Rayla were the fighters while he and Nyx were elementalists and the guardians. The support that barely gets credited.

Survive. Act or die.

"Stormpaw gets bitten! Fortunately for you, the soul fangs were fangless and couldn't turn your legionnaire into a husk. You all failed this test!" Primus Runaan yells as he watches Rayla get up off the ground and bumps her shoulder into Soren's. Her ears were down and her fur was covered in sand. "You will attempt this again in the morning where it's hot and you could get heatstroke stroke if you're not careful. Get some rest, Storm Warband."

Rayla turns to Callum as he leads his raptor next to her's. Her face was caught between a snarl and pity. Pity for him? He doesn't know.

"I didn't see that the soul fang was behind me until it was too late. I lacked awareness of my surroundings. If this was a real mission-"

Callum stops her with a raised paw. "You didn't fail your team if you're about to say that. You messed up. That's all. You're too good to put down yourself. You're learning to be a leader, someone that we all can rely on. It takes multiple mistakes to learn from them." He says it calmly but his heart was racing so fast and his fur feels unnaturally hot underneath.

Rayla stares at him for a good long minute. Her white fur and purple markings underneath her eyes were stunning, even if they were covered in sand and dirt. Then she smiles and punches him in the shoulder.

"I told you not to make those heartfelt speaches, sky guy. But thanks, Callum." she teases but he knows it was out of fun and the tension had already left her shoulders for the evening. "Let's go back to the Silvergrove and have that dinner you told me you want to cook tonight! I'll keep Soren and Nyx from disturbing you this time."

There was a smug smile on her face. Callum knows that she'll be the one disturbing him while he makes their supper. He finds himself not caring as much anymore. Her company is always welcome.

"Is this to get first dibs on dinner this time or just to annoy me?" He asks as they make their way to the raptor stables. Soren and Nyx were already discarding their armor in their respective rooms and it gave the other two time to talk. Without interruptions. He could feel the smugness radiating off the legionnaire and it makes him roll his eyes good naturally.

"Yes."

Chapter 2

    It wasn’t long before the large tree came into view, its branches seemingly cradling the moon, barren of leaves, a sign of the Leafbare to come. “Woah… this is it?” Springpaw had come to a skidding halt at the crest of the hill before the tree.

    “Indeed, this is Mother-Root. Impressive, isn’t she?” Redwind’s voice was soft, looking at the tree with respect. “Palepelt, do you want to be the one to explain?” “Ah, so you Are just trying to get out of doing your duties this late at night.” Palepelt purred softly, before stepping to the front.

    “Mother-Root, as I’m sure some of you have been told by our dear elders,” She started. “Is the place in our territory where the connection with our ancestors is the strongest. Elderbark and her apprentices will regularly visit to commune with them for advice and warnings.” Speckledpaw thought for a moment, trying to imagine her cousin making the trek to this tree so regularly. “Wow…”

    “It is also tradition for new warrior apprentices to take the trip to rest under Mother-Root and get a chance to see our ancestors for themselves. Don’t expect to get any prophecies though-” Springpaw almost visibly deflated, looking away quietly. “Those are only given to leaders and Medicine cats.”

    “Auntie Sprucestar also comes here?” Speckledpaw looked up, suddenly intrigued again.

    “Well, yes. Leaders traditionally come every few moons or so, as they aren’t as skilled in deciphering omens. Your aunt actually visits more regularly, looking for advice in war.” The mood of the group dropped a bit, the warriors looking away quietly.

    “War?” Springpaw looked up. “You mean with uh… with…” He struggled to remember the names.

    “With Cloudclan and Pineclan?” Rustpaw piped up, shuffling her paws.

    “...yes. The war started in the era of Goldenstar, with the death of a prophet of Pineclan, and accusations flew wildly from there. We’ve since mostly healed our relations with them but… everything is still tense with Cloudclan, and there were always suspicions that Cloudclan had always been looking for an excuse to try and drive the rest out of our territories.” Palepelt spoke quietly, moving over to quietly comfort Coppereye.

    “We… we shouldn’t dwell on that, we can focus on history later. For now let’s just get into Mother-Root, shall we?” Redwind cleared his throat, trying to reroute the conversation back to its start. He guided the apprentices down the hill, towards the gaping maw of roots, entangled in each other in an arch.

    Soon, all six cats were settled, mentors next to their apprentices, on the mossy flooring of the cavern of roots. Speckledpaw followed her mentor's actions, and laid her head down, closing her eyes.

    When she opened them again, she was in a soft field, the warm rays of the sunset warming her pelt. “Uh… H-Hello?” She called out, standing in the plush grass.

    “Speckledpaw…” A soft voice called from behind her. When she turned, she was faced with the visage of a large grey tom, looking at her with gentle eyes and a look of almost disbelief. “Oh it really is you.”

    “Who are you mister?” Speckledpaw wracked her brain for anyone she could remember who looked like him. “Are you someone I know?”

    The tom simply smiled. “I am Stormclaw. Your father.” He took a step forward, clearly wanting to embrace her. “My… dad? You’re my dad?” She looked confused for a minute, before rushing in to embrace him, emotions flooding her. “I finally get to meet you! Is mom here too?” The tom looked confused for a moment. “What? She’s not dead. Is she not with you?”

    Speckledpaw reared back for a second, eyes wide with confusion. “I… No? I thought she was dead… Auntie Riverback and Auntie Sprucestar always talked about her like she was. When they Did talk about her at least…”

    “I… I see. I wish I could help with that, but I’m glad you’re at least here. Would you… Would you like to see your sisters? They’ve missed you dearly.” “My sisters… Y-yeah, I would!”

    Speckledpaw spent the rest of her time meeting her recently deceased relatives, her emotions ranging from giddy joy with meeting her sisters for the first time she could remember, to sheer awe at meeting her grandmother. She was everything Woolpelt had said she was. Unfortunately, she would have to wake up eventually, and she said her teary goodbyes, curling up with her father one last time.

    When she awoke, the sun’s rays were just peeking over the horizon, and the others were getting up as well, the warriors quietly chatting between themselves. Rustpaw was quietly sitting at the entrance, her ears lowered slightly as she watched the sunrise. Speckledpaw padded over, sitting next to her. “Is… Is everything ok?”

“I got to see my parents again. It was… really nice but it just hurts. Not being able to see them still.” Rustpaw’s voice was quieter than usual, before she leaned into Speckledpaws side. “Did you see your mom?”

Speckledpaw hesitated. “N..No. I did get to meet my dad though. And my sisters too. They’re pretty happy right now but… mom wasn’t there. Dad said she wasn’t dead.”

The two apprentices sat in quiet silence until it was time to go. The trip back was quiet, and they returned back to camp before Sunhigh. Speckledpaw couldn’t gather up the energy to think about crossing the river, but something caught their eyes as they entered camp. A crowd had gathered in the middle of camp, everyone buzzing with concern, and Speckledpaw could just spot Elderbarks tail in the center of it. What was happening?

“BRIARPAW!”

[fearless-stormclaw]

Finished plotting out book one of my Owl House/Harry Potter mashup that no one asked for but the world needed. I am having the absolute time of my life with this.

Things I can share

-it's basically me smashing together TOH and HP plots and concepts together in way that (hopefully) makes at least the Harry Potter parts better (I do not have the hubris to claim I could improve The Owl House)

-in book 1 instead of having a magical encounter with a snake at the zoo, Luz has a magical (and terrifying) encounter with giraffes

-Camilla is Luz's aunt in this and Vee takes the role of Dudley BUT they have a much better relationship with Luz than Harry did with the Dursleys though there will be some conflict between Luz and Camila at least in the early books.

-the magic bank (haven't come up with a name for it yet) is run by bank nymphs which are like river nymphs except they wear pencil skirts and work in a bank. The bank is in a river bank

-Hooty replaces the Fat Lady painting.

-Camila may get a gun instead of a bat in book 7

I am writing and plotting at the same time. I will probably start posting on A03 once I finish plotting out book 7

It's gonna be a good time

Nethke’s Lair Review

@the-belows-128375​  You’re up, friend!

To start I want to say that right off the bat I noticed that you seem to have a soft spot for guardians! They’re quite excellent dragons, so I understand the sentiment. And also I enjoy how you seem to have a nice, organized biography template that you use for dragons that have lore. The templates you use are legible, and a great reference for both quick refreshers on the dragon’s personality and good for deep diving into their lore. First up, your namesake

Nethke

I like the wild ride of a backstory you gave Nethke, going from abandoned egg, to loner, to slave, and finally ending up in a welcoming home is such a great direction to take this dragon. What I particularly adore about the aesthetics of this dragon is you found a way to incorporate the reds of her tertiary into a nice gradient that shifts into pinks accomplished by your chosen accent and halo. The blues of the cloak mesh nicely with the secondary color AND gene. Excellent work all around in making this genone work so well

Nothing

Nothing really caught my eye due to her name, so I had to click to see if she had some juicy lore. I was rewarded because her lore is incredibly captivating. I personally love shade-related lore, and Nothing is such an interesting way to do just that. I really resonate with the quote in her bio that reads: ”That feeling when you're halfway through a really delicious thing, and you're like "should I finish this?" and you're physically full, but then you're like, "I'm eating this anyways"” because what a dang mood. As for aesthetics, I want to compliment you on your use of matching her browns with the garb and her eyes with the cloak. I imagine you chose her for the muted colors, wanting her to be a shade-touched dragon, and by golly you’ve done a great job with her.

BloodMixer

The whole ebonhide estate tab has me super intrigued, but BloodMixer drew me in on aesthetics alone. He is SUCH a handsome looking dragon. The way you’ve matched the celebration sage with the gold opal is utterly satisfying. The way his ice eyes blend in to look like just another star involved with the StarCon combo is quite lovely. His familiar, the harvest hardshell is such an excellent match as well, with the deeper oranges and tan of the cornucopia matching not only with the dragons own orange range them but with the little Olive wreath apparel as well. A subtle detail that didn’t go unnoticed here :)

Yaremka

Yaremka is such an excellent use of the festival skin, but what I most admire about the way you’ve dressed her is your use of the luminous sundrapes to frame her wings SO nicely. The small empty space is still visually pleasing, and if anything were to fill it, it would probably make the dragon look too busy. What an excellent light representative all around! I also enjoy the feisty wildclaw nature that comes out in her lore.

Firestarter

although not as dressed up as some other dragons I want to talk about how much I LOVE firestarter’s look. I’m not sure if you were going for this angle, but the use of terracotta ghost makes his ribs look like I’m peering into the grate of a furnace. It so wonderfully matches the grating on the banner as well. This dragon literally represents a furnace and I’m absolutely here for this aesthetic

Pandoriax

Pandoriax’s accent goes SO well with facet and opal. It brings in nice flashes of purple which lets the eye wander around the whole dragon which guides the viewer to admire the whole dragon. The wisps and the gloomwillow guide is an excellent combination here and their bright blues mesh well with the accent and the opal gene. Pandoriax is a stunning and beautiful dragon.

Marlowe

Marlowe’s aesthetics really nail down the whole “light dragon accepted into Earth culture” theme. Marlowe’s lore is so amazingly detailed. I love how as a dragonling you’ve given him a lisp and how you illustrated him correcting his lisp overtime. That is such a small, but fantastic detail that just makes the whole piece seem so full. Speaking of full, Marlow looks like he’s filled with gems. The opal gene and the earth halo combined with the gold from his accent is SUCH a fantastic way to bring out the Earth aesthetic. He is such an entertaining dragon to not only look at, but to read about as well

Wistala

Wistala is such a sparkly dragon. I really like how you’ve used the accent to match her tertiary color and her crystal facet genes. The purple gradient also works nicely together with the browns in her apparel, and I like how you matched the white cloth from the gem thief with the map kit. I also rather enjoy how you incorporated her cat into her lore :) a very well put together dragon!

Beautiful Dreamer

There are so many things I like about this dragon. As far as looks, I like the accent paired with the poison primary. The color matching is so spot on. I also really like how he is a dream specialist, and how that can easily tie into his smoke gene. I love it when genes are integrated with lore, and Dreamer’s a fantastic example of it. Speaking of lore, I adore Baku’s involvement in Dreamer’s life, and I’m glad you gave such a cool dragon a happily ever after.

A Practical Heart

right off the bat, A Practical Heart is such a romantic looking dragon. The reds of his accent, flowers, and coat only emphasize the passion, and while this dragon doesn’t have lore in his bio, it almost isn’t needed to at least assume to motive behind his design. I like the small amount of mystery we get from having his eyes covered by the hat. The storytelling done with just his outfit is commendable

A Practical God

I’m sensing a theme here with the names, and honestly I love it. It’s such an intriguing mechanic. So, with A Practical God, I like how you’ve use the skincent to turn the dragon into a ghostly shadow god. The skull and antlers really bring home that “old god” type aesthetic while the magic cards are a good visual storytelling on what we can expect his powers to be. Another great visually based dragon

Practical Bones

I get a witch doctor kind or a vulture culture kind of vibe from this dragon. I can appreciate the raven armor and the birdskull apparel pieces as a part of this dragons collection or aesthetic. I’ve always admired how the raven armor gives dragons an entirely armored leg, and I particularly enjoy the layering you did here with the wingsilks. Sometimes it can be hard working with blacks in regards to apparel because of the differing tones, but you handled that very well in this greyscale themed dragon.

Forgemaker

The use of the skincent and crucible here is just so dang flawless. It almost looked like the crucible was part of the skin until I realized the smoke was definitely a part of an apparel item. The whites involved in this dragon remind me of fallen ash, and work so well with a fire-themed dragon. And while Forgemaker doesn’t have much lore, the small bit in his bio is very telling. Defecting to the Other Power is so ominous and hints so something much larger.

Bayer

Bayer is such an amazing looking arcane dragon. From deep purples to light pinks you’ve worked with such a great range in both Bayer’s genetic colors and apparel items. I love that you’ve chosen a dragon with a dark primary, it brings out all the other details of his apparel and genes that would be washed out if it were any brighter. Everything flows so nicely here, what an intelligent design and inspiration.

Rumple

For Rumple, everything also flows nicely here. The secondary gene you’ve picked for him goes perfectly with the electricity of the stormclaws. I love how close the robin/cyan colors match. Given that he’s the engineer of the estate, you’ve pictured his skill of tinkering well with the steampunk gloves, circuit accent, and again the stormclaws. His spines match so well with the vest, and while not perfectly matched the dark colors do go hand in hand with the lead wings. Lastly, the Sentry Squawker as his familiar is such a great way to drive home the engineering theme you’ve created for him.

Nethke, from your lair I feel like I’ve learned a great deal about visual storytelling. And with dragons that you’ve written lore for, it feels full and enriching. Nothing feels like it’s too much or overdone. Thank you for letting me review your lair!

EXTRA:

Ryeheart is here is U remember him, he’s now Ryestorm, I felt it fit him much better.

Tigerclaw isn’t present, but he’ll be born to Pinepelt and Peachpaw (Peachflower). his mother can’t nurse him due to an infection (and by this point, Mudflower is long out of the nursery) and so he’s given to Marshclan and Swallowflower takes him in, with the cavaet that they give him back once he’s weaned. When that time comes  up, Marshclan doesn’t want to, Swallowflower’s grown attached and conflict insures.

Interesting, I would like to know how all of these character dynamics actually affect or have to do with the plot, it seems like you at least know them all very well!

I took a few names from canon, and I’m excited to flesh them out!!

Leopardfur is named after the leopard moth, hence the black and white coloring.

I see that! It might throw people off a bit at first, like I said up there, but as logn as you are able to tell a compelling story, and none of them are major players, you should be able to do it. Im excited to see how this works out!

Thanks again for the submission!

PineClan - Lore

Camp - A large camp with tall grass surrounding it. Tree stumps litter the ground, as it was once a popular human log cutting site. Many generations of cats have shaped the stumps to their liking.

Territory - A grassy forest. Shares a border with MapleClan and WillowClan. Are very friendly with MapleClan, border crossing to talk or share prey is not uncommon. They have no tolerance for WillowClan on their territory.

Characteristics - PineClan cats have skinny bodies and long tails, as they tend to leap farther than most cats to catch prey, their diet consisting of alot of birds. They tend to be friendly and can outwardly seem weak, but are not afraid of a good fight.

Systems and Beliefs - PineClan have always had a “help others” mentality. This results in them being the most mixed blooded clan, because they are very lenient when it comes to borders and outsiders. Sometimes rouges will come during leaf-bare and leave once greenleaf comes, some even stay and become full members of the clan. Apprentices are encouraged to explore all avenues of life, PineClan believes that not everyone was born fit to be a clan cat.

Important Cats:

Stormstar - The first apprentice to suggest exploring life outside the clans, and is the first to venture out. Returns and rises to leader. (Female, Warrior name Stormclaw)

Sunstripe - A queen who sought outside the clans during a sickness that was killing off the whole clan. Brought the clan back from the brink of extinction.

From: @sparkstripe

“You're Stormclaw? Cool! I've heard some talk about you at the other Gatherings. My name's Sparkpaw!"

The bright ginger she-cat smiled at him, her green eyes shining confidently. "I’m a ThunderClan cat, but I'm sure it's fine that l'm talking to you, since it's a Gathering, y'know?"

Stormclaw perked his ears as he heard someone approach. The medicine cat didn’t acknowledge who it was at first, simply watching the gathering and the cats talking to one another, before the grey tom turned his head and blinked as his blue eyes peered down at the ThunderClan apprentice.

He said nothing, his tail twitching a bit, before he nodded.

‪❝There is nothing wrong with that,❞‬ he replied, ‪❝It’s part of what a gathering is about. Speaking to others, without the fear of anything bad happening, such as a battle.❞‬

Stormclaw turned his head to look out to the gathering again, his torn right ear twitching gently,

‪❝What have the other cats said about me? From other gatherings?❞‬ he asked, ‪❝I’m always curious to know how others perceive a medicine cat who was once a warrior.❞‬

A New New Trench Coat Part 2

Last night the magazine @lacosacine  posted a set of photos of Misha wearing this trench coat. I believe this is our mystery coat from Misha’s poetry video .

I am still seeing people mistaking this new coat (trench coat 3.0) and tie for the original trench coat and tie. The most obvious difference, besides the differences in fabric and stitching that I have already talked about , is that this coat has a storm flap or gun flap in the front. This can be seen where there is a button to the left on Misha’s chest.

The presence of this flap also means that this is in fact a trench coat and not a jacket even though we can not see the whole coat.  

There is interesting historical reasoning behind all of the different parts of trench coats because they were originally developed for military use in WWI. So this could mean that this is not “Our” Cas but a Cas with no memories set back to factory default so to speak, back to being a soldier, because this coat is more in the military type of style. 

The picture above on the left does not belong to me it was posted by a user under the url of  @doilooklikeparishilton  This was taken on set during the filming of episode 6 of season 13.  It looks as if Cas is wearing a trench coat here but is it the new one? I am not sure because the photo is very blurry. So I put it side by side with a picture of the back of Castiel’s coat from season 12. I think the coat in the hug picture looks like it has a lot more structure to it then trench coat 2.0. Particularly it looks like there may be a seam by the shoulder. 

But again it is way to hard to say for sure. I know that in this photo it does not look like Cas is hugging back but I have heard from @casistooadorableandithurts and @perfmishka that the OP of the original photo did confirm that Castiel does hug Dean back. (X, X) So if Cas does hug back then I don’t think that this is a completely memory less Cas. He still knows that when someone hugs you that you hug back just like Cas learned from Sam in 9.11. Keep in mind that we don’t know yet whether Cas is wearing 3.0 or 2.0 during this hug. 3.0 could have just been used during scenes in the empty before Cas comes back or the Cas that comes back could be just a fragment of Cas’s personality such as his ego or superego. If this is just a fragment of Cas’s personality he would have all his memories but would have different priorities from a whole Cas. (I will be making a new post about this theory soon but until then my last post explains most of it)  This could be why this is a new coat and not just the original coat because this isn’t the Castiel from the past but a new version of him.

Another theory that I have seen is that this could be AU!Cas. I think we can now safely rule out 3.0 being used for AU!Cas now because AU!Cas would be probably not be any cleaner then AU!Micheal.

My hope is that this is not a memory less or regressed or any other non Cas Castiel at all.  This is because having a coat that resembles Castiel’s original coat and a coat that has so much military history behind it but is now mainly used by everyday civilians, would be such a good way to show that Cas accepts his past and his history. This would be important when showing that Cas’s mental health is improving and he is ready to move on. As I have mentioned before depression is about worrying about the past, about things we can’t change. Cas needs to accept that his past got him to where he is now and that he doesn’t need to worry about the past because right now and Castiel’s future is good. Cas also doesn’t need to forget the past either it’s ok to have history it makes you so much more well rounded as a person. 

One last thought the more militaristic coat could also mean that Cas will take on a more active role with the other angels some how. Perhaps their assistance is needed with stopping Lucifer and now Micheal.

If you are wondering why you were tagged it’s because you probably reblogged my first post and I thought you may like to be updated. If you would like to know my thoughts on why AU!Micheal has a trench coat feel free to shoot me an ask. I think I should maybe change my #keep the trench coat 2k17 tag to #trench coat forever because it looks like there won’t be a shortage of trench coats this year. If anyone knows how to contact  @doilooklikeparishilton or who ever took the on set hug photo please let me know. I would like to be able to give them credit for their picture.

jotakakweek day 7: travelling/anything you want

hi i finished this a bit ago but totally neglected to post it yesterday yeehaw So, uh, I went quite outside the box on this one and did a Warrior Cats AU b/c reasons. So, like, enjoy or something.

"Hey, Stormpaw, mind if I ask you something?" Cherrypaw inquired, breaking the silence between the two apprentices. The large RiverClan tom looked over to meet the eyes of his smaller ThunderClan companion. Snow crunched beneath their paws as they trailed after their seniors and the kit they had picked up on the way. Stormpaw merely flicked his tail in response, but the calico knew well enough that this was a sign of confirmation. Opening his jaw, Cherrypaw carried on.

"I know it's perhaps too early to be thinking about this, but... what do you think will happen once this is all over and we get back to the Clans?" Cherrypaw asked. For a moment, Stormpaw didn't respond as he looked ahead at the rocky landscape. Cherrypaw followed his gaze, wondering how much mountain there was left to cross. According to what Rising Sun on Horizon had said the night before, there was a day or two left before they finally hit the plains. Stormpaw's voice cut his thoughts short, causing him to turn his head back towards the longhaired black-and-white tom.

"It's simple. We'd return to our Clans and our families," he finally answered, keeping his gaze ahead.  Cherrypaw wondered if Stormpaw was thinking the same thing he was.

Would it really be that simple?

It had been almost a moon since their journey started, but Cherrypaw almost felt as if he had been friends with everyone ever since he was a kit. Maybe it was just everything they had all been through in such a short amount of time, but no matter how he looked at it, it all felt so powerful. Back in ThunderClan, it was clear that despite how his clanmates acted, he still wasn't seen as truly one of them. Somehow, having a mother from WindClan made him less of a ThunderClan cat to them. Yet, being among so many different cats with unique backgrounds who still ended up having the strong bonds he had seen among cats from the same Clan...

It felt like what Cherrypaw had thought home should feel like.

As he continued gazing at Stormpaw, he couldn't help but feel like he had the most in common with the muscular tom. It was clear that Stormpaw's family situation was far more complex than that of his own. After all, his WindClan grandfather was right in front of them. The calico couldn't even begin to imagine what all that had to feel like for the RiverClan feline at his side. Still, Cherrypaw felt that they both understood their situations well enough.

"Hey!"

The high-pitched voice finally drove Cherrypaw's attention away from Stormpaw. As expected, the voice belonged to the dusty brown kit who was bounding towards them. She wasted no time in reaching them, soon running around Stormpaw's feet much to his annoyance. He flicked his tail sharply to express this and came to a halt. He put one of his massive white front paws right in her path as Cherrypaw also stopped, causing her to stumble to a halt.

"Good grief, are you minnow-brained? I could've stepped on you," Stormpaw scolded, ears flat against his head. The tiny molly gave him a look of slight dejection. Sighing, the apprentice went around her as Cherrypaw kept on walking himself. The kit soon caught up to them, this time choosing to fill in the gap between the toms. It wasn't long before she began talking.

"So, what were you guys talking about?" she asked with enthusiasm.

"Nothing you need to get involved in," Stormpaw stated bluntly.

"Aw, c'mon! I'm almost an apprentice! I can talk about apprentice stuff!" the kit complained.

"Anne, you're not a Clan cat-" Cherrypaw injected, but the molly interrupted.

"I told you guys already! I'm not gonna be a kittypet anymore so I'm not Anne now! I'm Dustkit!" the molly insisted. Cherrypaw saw Stormpaw roll his eyes, but the RiverClan tom didn't comment.

"Er, okay, Dustkit, we were just talking about boring Clan stuff, so-" Cherrypaw said, but a squeal of excitement emerged from Anne. He looked over at Stormpaw for a moment, who was looking at him with an expression that meant only one thing: "You just had to go and encourage her, didn't you?"

"How can Clan stuff be boring!? After all, aren't you two gonna be warriors real soon?" the molly asked before she let out another squeal as if realizing something exciting. She bounded ahead a bit before stopping and turning back around. Cherrypaw wondered how she could be so energetic after all she's been through before she spoke. "Yeah, you're gonna be warriors! Were you talking about your warrior names!?"

The two toms came to a halt. Cherrypaw hadn't even thought about that, and from Stormpaw's subtle surprise, it looked like he wasn't the only one. Anne took the opportunity and went on in an excited frenzy.

"Yeah! I bet you're gonna have the coolest names! Like, like, uh, Stormstar! Yeah, Stormstar!" she rambled, bounding around Stormpaw's legs once more. The feline's expression changed back to annoyance, but he didn't get to chew her out before she rushed over to Cherrypaw. "And, and, you'll be, uh, Cherrytuft!" Anne chattered as she bounced up and down before stopping to giggle. She bounced up one last time to give a loose clump of fur on the tom's head a playful swat. He stepped back in surprise before giving her an unamused look.

"Cut that out," he said with a flick of his tail. She just giggled again before Horizon called back to the three to hurry up. Anne gave the two toms one last smile before bounding back towards the older cats. Stormpaw and Cherrypaw exchanged glances before heading after the group. A few heartbeats passed in silence before the RiverClan cat spoke.

"...What do you think our names will be?" Stormpaw questioned. Cherrypaw looked at him with one eyebrow raised, but the other tom's face was serious.

"I wouldn't know," Cherrypaw replied. He shrugged his shoulders to accentuate his statement. Stormpaw only gave an apathetic noise in response. The calico thought for a moment. "I guess Cherrypelt wouldn't be a bad name," he finally said.

"...Stormclaw would be good enough for me," the RiverClan apprentice added in. A smile crossed Cherrypaw's face. Stormpaw couldn't help but give a small one back. "Guess it wouldn't hurt to be Stormstar, though," he continued.

"...I suppose Cherrytuft is alright, too, then," Cherrypaw commented. His friend shook his head in mock displeasure. The calico gave a snort of laughter in response. The sound of their quiet conversation mixed in with the sound of snow crunching, even as night began to fall. Through it all, Cherrypaw knew that it didn’t just feel like home.

"This is what home is."
