Gotta love coming up with a whole Radiocult AU just like. On a random Tuesday. I LOCKED IN to make that background

Also I cannot stop doodling this Alastor design I came up with. The idea is he died like. SUPER young and hadn't made his deal with Rosie yet when he did. So no more 'most powerful sinner' thing.

Vincent finds a toy in the bayou while on a family trip and long story short it's cursed and it summons Alastor. Instead of being haunted by the demon like was intended, the two become unlikely friends by bonding over their not-so-socially-acceptable traits.

Thickfur was originally a kittypet. His original story was VERY much just Fireheart 2.0 LOL so I do need to redo that, but I'd like to keep him as an outsider who joins Thunderclan after being attacked by rogues. He saw the patrol fight them off and he decided he could never return to his old life, even if he knew how to get there. He originated in a large city far from the lakes and got very lost. Eventually he becomes Ashflame's mate. He's very kind and some warriors will call him soft, but he's built strong and he really applied himself to learning the way of the warrior when Thunderclan let him in.

Mapleshine and Barkfur are siblings who are around six moons older than Ashflame and Willowfrost. They are all good friends since they shared the nursery for a while before these two were made apprentices and Ashkit and Willowkit missed them dearly. Mapleshine is a huge prankster and gets into a lot of trouble. She has a hard time staying serious and can't keep her mouth shut to save her life. Barkfur is a lot more subdued. He has a good head on his shoulders and tries to keep his sister in check, but sometimes when they are together his mischievous side comes out and that's why they're almost never assigned to the same patrol.

Some silly art of them that's SO OLD (with Ashflame). Yes that is a portal joke. These are from circa 2014.

This lore basically only takes into account the canon events up to The Last Hope. These two were born into Thunderclan around three decades after Firestar died. Bramblestar had come and gone by then as did one more leader (idk if canon has someone after Bramblestar tbh), then their current leader, Blazingstar, was made leader a few years before they were born. Time is hard, I am reaching so far into my brain to figure out what I was thinking so HERE WE GO ---

Ashflame was actually originally orange and black. She was also originally called Ashfoot before I knew that there was a canon Ashfoot, so I ended up changing it. Ashflame was a tough cookie to train up and she was also always getting into trouble trying to prove herself. From fox attacks to running out of camp to be alone and other shenanigans, she always had a mind of her own but was also always learning, growing, and becoming better. Even with the mistakes she'd made, she eventually would become the deputy of the clan.

Willowfrost is slightly larger, sleeker, and more muscular than Ashflame, and she never had any problems making friends. She quickly became one of the strongest warriors in the clan, leading patrols and having fun with the senior warriors only a few short moons after being made a warrior. Over time, this popularity had her promoted to deputy when the current deputy, Brightpelt, was killed when her clan invaded Shadowclan. Eventually she became Willowstar, and Ashflame became her deputy.

I drew out at least two versions of a comic for Ashflame between the ages of 10 and 16 and I could only find the more recent one and MAN it was BAD. No plot, just random events and crap happening at random intervals. I also tried to make a comic of it on Colors! 3D and also another on DeviantArt but only got a few pages into each. It was called "Storm on the Horizon."

Another fun fact about Ashflame, she became my fursona. I took off the flame bit, her name was Ash. That's where the 'ashes' part of my username comes from! Here's her anthro ref sheet:
