Artist Blurb: A sketch animatic of the event leading up to the previous artwork of Dandelionpaw and Duck(paw). Animation is tiring but the idea was relentless so it was given form, even if imperfect <3

“My, my… you weary warriors have endured much this past moon, haven’t you? I cannot chase away this relentless heat, but perhaps I may offer a small blessing for your troubles. Upon these flowers, I scatter a touch of starlight to carry you through the moon ahead. Do enjoy, dears.”

A yearly blessing from Tansyshade has swept across the Wildrest once more. Known as Bloomtide, this celebration marks a season of vibrant flowers, dazzling colors, and the beauty of life persisting even through hardship. Blossoms of every shade now spread across the territories, bringing moments of joy and wonder to the Clans despite the tension and uncertainty surrounding them.

Out of character: Happy Pride Month from the Wildrest Team!

Bloomtide serves as the Wildrest’s in-universe celebration of Pride Month. Throughout June, a new creative prompt will be posted every Monday for players to participate in through roleplay threads, poetry, artwork, stories, and more. Participation in the prompts is entirely optional, and everyone is warmly encouraged to celebrate and share their pride in whatever ways feel most meaningful to them.

Prompts:

Week 1: Your character wakes at the edge of dawn to a sky alive with color, the sunrise shifting and glowing in ways they’ve never seen before. How do they respond to the unusual beauty? Do they share the moment with anyone?

Week 2: Your character comes across a stretch of territory inexplicably bursting with vibrant, multicolored blooms. Do they pause to simply take in the scenery, or do they interact with the flowers in some way?

Week 3: Something unusual has broken out in camp: a lively gathering filled with music, laughter, and celebration! Cats are decorated with berry stains, herbs, and creative markings as they sing and dance together. How does your character take part in the festivities?

Week 4: Your character watches the sun sink below the horizon, the sky dissolving into deep blues and purples as night settles in. Do they experience this quiet moment alone, or with company?

All posts for the event will be tagged under #bloomtide2026! We’d also love to invite other servers and players to join in, post under the tag, and celebrate Pride Month alongside us.

She chides in his face, gloating over a win she did not deserve and he has the right mind to tell her so, a satisfying clack of teeth from the snap of her words: "Are you stupid or brainless? You broke the rules, how was it 'fair & square' to begin with? Catch the hint already: stop talking to me. "

Duckpaw’s test, then Duck, into BoarClan was eventful in many rights, in part as a further severance between disgruntled clan members.

The clan is up in arms with one another after Erminewish’s decisions that beckoned a Patron. This did not bode well for young Dandelionpaw who had been making quick work of the outsider, displaying his skill with the couple moons of training he had thus far; the cleric’s “interference” was cheating, yet Tamarackstar would hear nothing of it, instead ushering the outsider into BoarClan’s ranks.

Erminewish had a good relationship with her adopted father and former mentor, Pheasantflame. From the day she chose to make him her parent, she resolved to be a happy daughter and a model warrior of BoarClan

Things changed after she was chosen as Cleric— and someone else, Silkenmane, was promoted alongside her. Out of desperation, she sought out HemlockClan’s Cleric, Mothgleam, to allow herself a bargaining chip. However, the two formed a genuine relationship— built on equality and trust.

Things changed on the night of the Half-Moon Gathering— where Erminewish and Silkenmane were forbidden to attend. Erminewish chose to sneak out, followed by her foster siblings. Little did they know that at that moment, Pheasantflame was a member of a patrol tasked with kidnapping Mothgleam and taking her back to BoarClan camp.

When they returned to camp, Erminewish was so wracked with grief and exhaustion over what she discovered that she collapsed in the middle of camp. Pheasantflame, in a moment of clarity, realized how much he messed up.

It took time, and a lot of talking with other cats— but the two managed to express their issues with each other and what led up to the actions they both took. And their relationship was ever stronger for it.

Multiple full art pieces, two pmvs, and countless sketches in: Hm I think I might be obsessed with this OC
