Are there any changes to Smokepaw (ShadowClan Apprentice in TNP) in BB? He is my all time favourite Warriors character for literally no reason, he existed twice, the second time to fall off a cliff and die, but I love him. I feel like he was a huge waste of potential, in that first time he appeared I thought of Blackstar as a sort of parental figure to him. Think like Firepaw and Bluestar, maybe? Or maybe more like Firepaw and Yellowfang? I'm sure that was just me serious projecting onto like less than a page of screen time, but I am so attached to him. I even made an AU where there was a conveniently placed river that swept him away to the Sundrown Place where he was taken in by Midnight.
Does BB have anything for my little guy?
Smokefall! Given an obligatory Sardonic ShadowClan name after he fell off a cliff and forced the entire journey to halt in its tracks for almost a month!
because shadowclan is like, ridiculously small and the family tree is a brick, Smokepaw (TNP), Smokepaw (Field Guides), and Smokefoot (Po3) are reworked. SmokeFALL survives, Smokepaw is now BILLOWCLOUD, and Smokefoot is SMOGFOOT.
Smog and Smoke are siblings. Billowcloud is not related to them.
Anyway, Smokepaw got REALLY hurt in that fall, but did survive
A (currently unpicked) Tribe cat actually climbed all the way down to get him. He had to be carried the rest of the way.
But once safe, he really couldn't move or else jeopardize his recovery. That, paired with a lack of travelling rations and a few pregnant cats close to delivery halted the Journey.
But Smokepaw still got ribbed relentlessly for "holding everyone up." Poor guy. ShadowClan humor.
Talonpaw got really close to him in that time. In fact, a LOT of cats developed close bonds in this "intermission," including many of the cats who would ultimately support Mudclaw's claim in WindClan.
Brambleclaw and Hawkfrost, as well.
In general, this is a really important hiatus because it's adding some PIVOTAL breathing room for cats to bond free of Clan divisions.
Clan Culture is never really the same after this. It's a change a long time coming.
He is also one of Birchfall's friends. This entire apprentice/kit generation has a very odd view on Clan divisions, because the Destruction of White Hart and the subsequent journey were so formative.
It was actually Smokepaw's "idea" to make Paw Soup. It came from a suggestion towards some WindClan apprentices, that they should try to make an ancient gumbo recipe that hadn't been seen since the start of Heatherstar's campaign.
Birchkit and his big bro Spiderpaw butted in, RiverClan apprentices didn't want to be left out, and the rest is history.
They never did make that gumbo but they made something new.
At the Lake, he also prevents Talonpaw from dying to Jacques and The Dreaded Susan. By also getting his ass beat.
(But that's probably gonna be offscreen because im not dedicating several chapters to it like canon when theres a civil war that should be in focus)
Smokefall becomes the next Educator of ShadowClan, and the mate of Talonclaw. Eventually Smogfoot surrogates a kit for them-- probably Pinenose.
The couple shows up at various points throughout Po3 and OotS as very important friends of Birchfall, and general friendly faces in ShadowClan which is a major ally through the arcs.
Sadly, though, they meet a gruesome and tragic end in AVoS. The Kin is a cult, and once it takes power, it immediately targets the one who teaches history. Smokefall. Talonclaw refuses to abandon his mate.
His position is taken by the infamous Berryheart, who is the educator through TBC. He is survived by several grandkits through Pinenose-- Slatefur, Puddleshine, and Happyface.

hc buzz is the poorest member of the dinosquad member (i dont mean like family is poverty stricken poor i mean like he himself has like 2 dollars)
the receipts:
1-in that one episode where caruso loses rump and doesnt want to ask for help buzz is mentioned multiple times to be on his “day off” and no one wants to bother him, this is something we never hear about anyone else having, which leads me to belive he not only has a job since if it was a day off from dinosaur shenenagins they would probably all take days off, but it HAS to be a shitty one if its going to be that serious. In my experience at least, people who work a lot (whether thats to save up or blow their entire paycheck on legos or sum) take their limited days off like theyre the last theyre ever going to get (bc they likely are for the next month), behavior that is seen in buzz in that ep. Bro literallt makes himself unavailable until it becomes a life or death situation (i think) and i love that for him. But still goes to show that he ia likely workinf like that for those sweet sweet minimum wage job dollars
2-he is completely ready, no hesitation, no thoughts at all to assist in the ruining of christi crash’s repuation for 50 dollars. 50. Dollars. That will not even buy you a full tank of gas, what was he cooking ???

oh and earlier today we got a free ice cream by. being nice regularly
there's a culvers not too far from work (like a street and a building away. pretty close) so we walk there pretty much every break. sometimes we get chicken nuggets sometimes just a water cup (fun fact they don't actually watch you fill it to make sure it's water. fun fact number 2 sprite is clear and you can't really tell the difference through the lid and straw. fun fact 3 even if they did notice chances are they're not getting payed enough to care) and sometimes we get ice cream (technically it's frozen custard i guess but. ice cream) and today we walked over for our 2nd break and since during our 1st break we had chicken nuggets i decided to get an Ice Cream so i go up and order and take the money out of my wallet and she just goes "oh you're good" and i see her clear it from the register. i guess she recognized me as "polite guy who comes in pretty regularly" and decided to reward me i don't know but it absolutely made my day :)

generic but what about a boy planning for a small family only to find out he is really only capable of carrying litters? six babies on his first try, and after that he’s too obsessed with how that felt to stop. three years in he’s nearing the end of his fourth pregnancy, about to add another twelve to his family of twenty-five, and he’s already planning to convince his boyfriend to knock him up again
YES this is exactly the stuff i was talking about
going from a father of zero to a father of almost forty in three short years, plus in the span of those four pregnancies his litter size doubles... imagine where he'll be at if he continues this pattern through all his fertile years 💕 he can't imagine a life more rewarding than growing his family as big as he possibly can
