Worldbuilding Tidbits: ThunderClan Territory
General description: ThunderClan calls the thick, rich forest in the southeast. Trees include alders, oaks, beechs, birchs, aspens, cedars, elms, maples, and sycamores. Undergrowth includes holly bushes, honeysuckles, laurels, dogwood, witch hazel, hemlocks, ferns, bracken, lilacs, dandelions, daffodils, wintergreens, boxwoods, peonies, thorns, vines, moss, poppies, and brambles. The canopy is fairly thick, but not so much that sunlight is blocked out, and streams that branch out from the river help moisturize the plants. Towards the thunderpath that cuts between ThunderClan and ShadowClan, the land becomes rocky and steep, as the road inclines from a mountain.
Camp: A shallow, sandy ravine that’s shaded by a thick canopy. The dens are made of cave in the camp walls, burrows, and bushes intertwined with brambles and vines
Common prey: Mice, voles, shrews, blackbirds, starlings, magpies, sparrows, robins, cardinals, bluejays, grackles, grouse, pheasants, doves, pigeons, woodpeckers
Rare prey: Turkeys, falcons, hawks, eagles, ducks, rabbits, moorhens, eggs
Common threats: Coyotes, falling branches, foxes (they usually only target lone apprentices or kits, but they become a lot more aggressive and desperate in the winter), badgers (usually only if you're stupid enough to bother them, but they also like to go after lone or inexperienced apprentices), adders at snakerocks, wild dogs
Landmarks:
The Owl Tree is a tall poplar with a hollow in the middle of the trunk. Generations of owls have lived there as it’s close to mouse nests, and warriors usually follow the current tenant to find easy prey.
The Sandy Hollow is a hollow in the land that’s filled with soft, sandy dirt. It’s used as a place for apprentices to practice battle moves since the dirt is soft enough to not hurt upon impacting it
The Tunnel is a tunnel below the thunderpath that ShadowClan uses to get to and from gatherings. ThunderClan doesn’t mind this as long as they just use the tunnel for that purpose, but there is some hostility over the herb that grows there, Milkweed. Since it’s rare to find and is very beneficial for nursing queens, there’s been quite a few border scraps over who gets the herbs
The Shaded Brook is a narrow stream that branches off from the river. It gains its name due to the amount of overhanging, ferns, bracken, and mullien growing here. Cats come to get a drink of water and druids come here to gather herbs.
Sunningrocks is a contested piece of territory between ThunderClan and RiverClan that’s placed right by the river on the edge of ThunderClan territory. It’s not only a good place to sun, but it’s a good place for mice and water voles to nest between the rocks, making it a good hunting spot. However, the main reason it’s so fought over is because of land rights.The patch of land that Sunningrocks rests on used to belong to RiverClan when it was an island, but slowly the river grew smaller, leaving the rocks on ThunderClan’s territory. And they’ve bickered and battled over it since
Adjacent to Sunningrocks are wide expanses of meadows. They don't have an official name, but they're a popular date spot due to the sheer amount of colorful wildflowers and the clear view of the sky
The Alder Grove a patch of the forest filled with, you guessed it, alders. The thick canopy provides plentiful shade and the leaf litter is very soft. Friend groups like to hang around here and it's not uncommon to see cats wrestling in the thick leaf carpet
Tallpines is the only place in the forest where pine trees are plentiful. Every three summers the tree-eaters cut down the trees and take them to the treecutplace, but between those periods, it’s a good spot for prey.
The Treecutplace is where the pines from Tallpines are brought to be cut up for twoleg use. It’s usually avoided due to being so close to twoleg areas
The Twolegplace is a small yet bustling town. Warriors rarely go anywhere near the border, let alone in the town. The town borders the forests with a tall fence.
Snakerocks is a pile of rocks that is much like sunningrocks, but the stones are much steeper and bigger. Many herbs like Dill, Goldenseal, Peppermint, and Echinacea grow here, but the rocks are also swarmed with adders. It’s best to keep younger apprentices from here, as they don’t know the danger yet.
The Great Sycamore is the tallest, oldest tree in the territory, and is used by apprentices to see if someone is chicken by daring the newest apprentices to climb to the very top of the branches.
The Abandoned Cabin is an old, run down log cabin that has been overgrown with moss, vines, and other plants, including a birch growing right in the center. It’s considered a sacred place by the ThunderClan druids as it’s a good place to grow herbs
The Thunderpath is a long, busy road that separates ThunderClan territory from ShadowClan. It’s considered very dangerous since it’s usually very busy, so most cats avoid it

I sound like a chipmunk 😂 AND I smell like nuts. Like, a nut tree??
Aaaah. Man!
I've had this viral cold frickin something attacking my immune system for 10 days. Ten!!!
I resorted to mullien tea and essential oils.
It's lessening my cough but not my hoarseness or exhausted body.
Sooooo.
How do I make myself feel better the natural way?? ((Screw the doctor- they will just want to do chest xrays and dose me up with medicine with crap knows what in it- Tylenol with codeine- hahaha nooo. Pass!!!))
Exercise, mullien tea, organic homemade bean and turkey meat chili ((I made that! Boom!)), essential oils, and- well... A nice, hot steamy shower while inhaling those oils! ❤
I gotta tell ya....
Since moving away from the negativity of my hometown, cutting out toxic friendships, and changing my thought patterns and lifestyle ((I went herbal and paleo, ok?? Don't judge))- I've only been sick 2x since moving to my current location.
Who knew REBT could be so dang effective when you believe what you think and apply it?? ❤
I used to get sick literally every 2 weeks to a month- not even kidding. My poor mother would be like, "Angel! Let's go!" And the clinic doctors would just look at me, and either feel sympathetic or just start laughing. Or a mix of both.
It was probably
1- toxic environment
2- I was eating like absolute crap
3- Negative mindset, depressed rather than my current re-train yo brain reprocessing that I do once a negative thought pops in.
Anywhooo.
It's time for tea and Netflix before bed.
What I'll watch, i d k.
Oh- and to laugh at the idiotic yet hilarious posts on Whisper 😂 Oh my gosh. Some are just flat out horrible. Ay. You're cheating and bragging about it.... Classy, bud. Oh! And another guy wants a hookup but admits he has a girlfriend.
Claaaasssyyy.
That's gonna get you nowhere, boys! 👏👏👏✌😂
Peace! ✌✌✌❤💖
