“Fireheart leaned forward to take Morningflower’s kit, but she pulled back, her ears flat. Fireheart looked deep into her frightened amber eyes and understood. She and her kit would live or die together.”
Jesus Christ man okay okay I feel normal about this
Honestly I think Morningflower might be one of my favorite warrior cat names, like not only is the imagery beautiful, the fact morning is a homophone for mourning just itches the poetry part of my brain so well and makes it into such a beautiful tragic name.
ooooghb could you draw morningflower and fireheart being friends pretty please?
he just drops by windclan to rant sometimes

I’ve nixed most of the murder in my warriors anthro au but Mapleshade remains the same (now with a shlocky movie adaptation!)
I think fanfiction as a medium is different enough from mainstream literature in the tools it offers writers that it's a shame that it's not talked about more often. And it's not me saying "fanfic is better than books xD" because that sort of mindset is a symptom of people who aren't particularly well read in either medium. I'm just speaking of like... The little things you get to do with a fanfic that you genuinely can't really do in an original story.
I had a big fanfic in a previous fandom where one of the big reveals was the involvement of a kind of infamous villain, whose presence was built up to and foreshadowed through the whole fic until his reveal without ever mentioning his name, so that the name drop would be a gut punch. It worked especially well because of who the villain was and his presence in that fandom space specifically (it's very complicated) and if it was an original story this reveal wouldn't work at all the way it was written in the fic. Because if you don't have a predisposition to think about that character and his relationship to the hero in a very specific way, then just seeing their name won't do much to you; the reveal and the recontextualisation it pushes upon you hinges on your previous knowledge of the source material.
I think it's an interesting tool fanfic authors are given. One of my favorite fanfic of all time is partially a re-imagining of its source material's canon, and something it does is introduce antagonists much earlier in the story or deepen npcs' stories. It then works to evoke a tragic irony that again wouldn't work if you didn't know the source material, and it's something the author obviously has a lot of fun with.
You could call it cheap or a crutch and I mean, yeah, sure, it is a little bit: the fanfic relies on previously established emotional bonds and stakes to achieve its goal, and in some cases it saves the author from having to 'properly' build up its stakes. But I think it's INTERESTING that it has that tool at its disposal. I think it's a fun thing to play with and I think these built in expectations and emotional bonds are especially why I find story driven aus in particular to be fascinating in the amount of ways you can play with them. You know??

i made it a bit tricky, let's see if you can find the warriors themed connections
do you ever think about that stupid starclan life thing that only gets brought up like twice in the book series where when a leader loses a life some of their soul just gets kinda...shaved off to go join starclan, I have so many questions about this like how and what and why
I'm pretty sure it comes up like once in the first arc when firestar first dies and then jayfeather sees firestars not ghost on a starclan trip once in fading echoes, and I don't know if it's ever been said again, but like look at this quote, it's been driving me bonkers for over a decade on what is going ON with this system. I don't even fully know if it appears outside of those two books and I think like maybe secrets of the clans, maybe
Like I can only assume since it's displayed as very pale and barely more then mist they didn't graft like, nine souls onto firestar, so it has to be his original soul right? Just with bits shaved off? It's eldritch as hell and confuses the fuck out of me on how it works and yet yellowfang is so casual all
Another familiar pelt caught his eye. Frighteningly familiar. Blazing ginger fur, large pricked ears, emerald gaze—the slender tom weaved through the bushes ahead. He seemed paler than the other cats, almost invisible. And yet he was there. “Firestar?” Jayfeather breathed. “Not quite,” Yellowfang mewed gently. “Five of his lives are here, but he won’t be able to hear or speak until his ninth life has joined us.” Jayfeather watched the ghostly cat disappear behind an oak. Could Firestar feel his lives ebbing away? No. He shook off the thought. How could he stay such a strong leader if he did?
like...what??? No one ever talks about this, probably because of how little it ever comes into play, but HUH?? why did they bring it back after the first arc to do nothing with it beyond scare the pelt off of jayfeather???? It's so eldritch! I have questions!
What about evil leaders?? Was there just a misty brokenstar wandering the dark forest or do they get to stay in starclan until the final life because it's just plain irresponsible to let a basically unresponsive and on autopilot cat into hell?
What happens if you kill this like, soul slice??? Does it have an impact on the living cat? Does literally losing bits of your soul have an impact on the living cat? Like if eight of your nine lives are in Starclan that's gotta be like, really weird right??? If they do start out in the dark forest for evil what if they stopped doing evil? Do they remember anything?
Are they aware at all? Will the dead leader gain these starclan memories on death? Why can't they hear, I can kind of understand speak but why can they do everything else but hear? Does the soul splice knowing whats happening back in the clans, because like, the soul splice doesn't react at all to yellowfang or jayfeather so does the soul splice even have memories? Can they fight back? Do they try and find other ways to communicate? its kinda really fucked up!
I know no one talks about it because its both stupid and never relevant but I can't be the only one just like, fixated on this detail right? Like what are you talking about Why does a piece of their soul need to leave with each life, you're just healing the wounds or disease, why can't they just...keep it? Until the final death?
Though incredibly funny au potential for where due to how the lives supposedly work ashfur only possesses 1/9th of bramblestar because he's lame and hasn't died yet before this so there's only a small bit of soul room
I just need to know I'm not alone in thinking that this is like, horrifically eldritch right? potentially even somewhat i have no mouth and i must scream for the version of them in starclan especially if evil leaders do end up in the dark forest from the very start???
firestar sitting there listening to hollyleaf tell everyone everything mustve felt like the biggest failure on the planet lol. There he is again hearing greystripe tell him silverstream is pregnant and only able to think about the tragedy of bluestar and her kits. but that was years ago and bluestar and stonefur and Silverstream and feathertail and stormfur are gone, he knows the cost in lives with this but now it is his children he has failed to make a better world for and his grandchildren who are paying that costly sum. and he wont get a chance to talk to hollyleaf about any of it because she will be gone too by morning
i would be a kittypet all the way in the warrior cats universe. if i heard a bunch of guys were in the woods killing each other for survival and they think i'm the lame one for getting mediocre banquets i would be like you guys are stupidd and then when the thunderclan medicine cat comes by my fenced lot to pick yarrow i would be like what are doing and shes like medicine so my clanmates don't die and i'm like wow you guys really have it that rough. and she keeps encountering me and one day i'm like why don't you come inside there's plenty of kibble and she averts her eyes shyly and is like ...no that would be against starclan and i'd go To have a little kibble? and she's like You know what i mean. and i do. 5 moons later she is getting adopted by my people and visions of her ancestors still haunt her and she is from time to time like Did I do the right thing...? how could i be so selfish...? and i'm like my toy mouse squeaks
Warrior Cats is one fandom I only know from indirectly from tumblr (though I still enough to enjoy this piece), BUT a tiny interesting side note- - -
I was at the winter MondoCon and noticed a few middle-schooler(ish) children with cat masks and turned out that they are actually Warrior-fans. I got curious and found out that the first three books were republished last year. So it looks like it certainly becoming (or already is) A Thing now in Hungary, too!
I just had to draw the original post because it lives rent free in my head
completely personal preference obviously but i hate when there's a time travel fix-it and everything goes smoothly and the protagonist is just cool and confident with all their knowledge of the ruined future. nooo shut up. what is even the point if they're not an emotionally traumatized mess frantically trying to fix things and fucking up as they do so, keeping secrets and alienating their loved ones, causing new and interesting problems and barely scraping through to an eventual better ending

I think it's really funny that Whitestorm acts all old and weary before the battle with Bloodclan, making him seem like a really old grandpa only for Bluestars prophecy to come out and show that him and Tigerstar are basically the same age.
every so often i remember that I left off Firefrost III with all our heroes trapped in a collapsing cave like 8 months ago and i think "maaaan i should really write it again" and then i open a new doc and start a new wip
i'm not kidding btw these are literally the last words yet
