Despite his fearsome appearance, he’s very friendly and happy. Good Dad energies. You go, sport!

Honestly went down a rabbit hole tonight of nostalgia and I miss my friends 😅 what a time it was. I would relive it if I could.

Applestar --  I don't actually have a favorite thing I think - and by that I mean that I just can't choose one thing! One of the best things is being able to plan plots though. It's kind of like writing a book, you know? It's cool to be like 'oh hey, we, the rank group, get to decide what Thunderclan's doing this weekend, and what's going on.' We get to plan drama, and cross-clan interactions, and it honestly just feels like we're taking 'Warriors' to a whole new level. It's such a great feeling to be a HR, and to see that members are enjoying your plots. Every time someone says 'woah, this is such a cool plot! So interesting! Awesome! Dramatic!' or something of that caliber, the feeling of satisfaction is probably the best part for me. Cooingdove --  My favorite part of being a high rank is helping everyone! Lakepaw --  My favourite part of being a high rank is thinking of plots to get people hyped up and probably working with the other ranks for sure is something I love. Floodstar --  My favorite part is the community, you're all so supportive of us and it's so fun to come on to a safe place and be able to hangout with everyone on the site. Bryniel has such a special community and I love working for it. I also love working with the other high ranks! and flint! They're all so funny and accepting, it's like a huge family. Crowstorm --  I really really really dig plotting or coming up with ideas for people to get involved in. Seeing people enjoy it/having fun and giving them a chance to develop their character is awesome. I love getting the feedback from it too. Pansysong --  Definitely being able to help come up with ideas for fun plots. It's always fun working with my co-ranks to create plots for everyone to be a part of and enjoy. But I also really like getting to know my fellow ranks and members as well. Palepaw --  My favorite part being a highrank is that i get to help plot things for the members! it's a good way to repay them for even coming on and supporting bryniel, and keeps the excitement going! Pumpkinstar --  I love the ability to run plots! They are my absolute favorite part. Making people get excited about going to war, about a good murder mystery, about a festival, all of that makes my heart so happy. I love to make a sandbox for folk to play in, and I especially love including their characters and playing a part in developing them in roleplay. It’s a BLAST. Jaywhisker --  My favorite part...hmm...as deputy...I honestly love spending the extra time with all of my fellow members. THOUGH YOU ALL MIGHT HATE PATROLS (jk) I can truly say that all the kiddos who join me are SUCH A BLAST and I love every single one of you. I also really love my rank squad the ideas we come up with and the funny ideas we have for our clan is honestly so rewarding. I just love going the extra mile for people and as a rank in general I admire that the most of all of us. Coalmask --  My favorite part of being a high rank? Ugh, I don't even know! Talking to all the other high ranks, the planning of different plots, the times when we come up with the COOLEST ideas... the list goes on! Some of the high ranks are super nice and even buy art for others (I did it once to have matching icons, haha!) and everyone's just so nice! Being a high rank at the gatherings and roleplay with all of you is so much fun too, so I honestly can't have one favorite part of being a high rank. Can I say all of it? I hope so.   Whitecreek --  That's a hard decision! I love helping to make the sight fun, working towards fun and exciting things to help make it a fun environment for you guys and inspire the same passion for rping and Bryniel that I had when I was younger and the site was at it's height. I love being able to help provide the fun,exciting, safe, and welcoming environment I think you guys deserve. Whitestar --  I really like the flexibility that gives me with plots! I love plotting and coming up with schemes and plans that will make the Clan more fun for everyone. I also really enjoy getting to update the Clan News, gossip and adding to the lore of the Clan and site in general, I really love that kind of stuff! Lionfoot --  I think my personal favourite thing comes in two different little ways. Being able to sit down with a group of people who you recognize, and talking with them, working alongside them daily, and getting to know them better and grow closer as a rank team definitely tops it as a favourite. But branching off of that, it's working with these people to come up with the plots; either for the Clan itself, or helping pitch in ideas for the entire site. We can spend hours, talking and goofing off while making these plots, but at the end of the day, we do put a lot of pride, joy, blood, sweat and tears into coming up with plots for you all - the members - and being able to be in the "know" of these plots, long before the members do, is actually entertaining as hell. Watching you all make guesses at who could be what, or why who killed who, or where some sickness started up while knowing the actual answer to it all, is my pastime; especially when people get close to guessing what it could be, but steer around and go in a completely different direction. We put in a lot of effort into making these plots fun and exciting, different and unique to Bryniel standards, and being able to help working alongside these people to give these plots extra "spice" is something that's irreplaceable as an HR. Jackalwind --  Tough one! I love a lot of things about being a rank, so far. Getting to help people and getting to interact with the other ranks -many of whom are, basically, my idols- are definitely two of my favorite things. Getting to be involved in all the fun drama is up there, too!! Getting to keep plot secrets from normal members is one of the greatest joys in my life, hehehe

This is the first question for the ask the high ranks we’re running on Bryniel. Have a question you want asked to all the high ranks or a certain one? We welcome in and out of character questions! Not every high rank will have the time to answer all the @ all high ranks question, we have included the high ranks that did participate / had the time to. Cooingdove -  Well no! I rejoined after finding an old friend of mine ( Crow.) and having her sucker me into joining the site again! Lakepaw --  Nope, When I first joined bryniel I guess my main goal was to meet the members and just have fun in general. Floodstar --   I joined Bryniel when it first opened. Most of the members on the staff were my friends, when I originally joined Bryniel my intentions were to be a good friend and support their website! I had the chance to be a high rank at the time but declined because of school. It wasn't until around 2015-2016 that I had interest in a high rank! All of the fun things happening with Hazelstar and Emberstar inspired me to want to have a high rank. Crowstorm --  Not really! When I originally joined, I was losing interest in the community, so I wasn't very active. My participation on the site was kind of sporadic, and it was only when I recently rejoined that I had the time/motivation for it. Pansysong --  Hmm, I can't say that it was. I came across Bryniel after finding out that Kugyay closed, so I was really just trying to find a fun community that I could join and start rping in again ^^ But I'm really thankful that I have the opportunity to be a high rank on such an amazing site. Palepaw --  It wasn't at first, because i was way too anxious and anti-social for me to think of myself as a highrank! as like a month or two passed of me roleplaying and talking with everyone else i figured being a highrank would be really cool, and in a way to give thanks to all the members of bryniel that supported me by giving them rad stuff like plots and events!! Pumpkinstar -- When I joined, I really just wanted to roleplay. When I saw how sweet everyone was, my intentions shifted to make friends. And then when I saw how cool the ranks were, I wanted to be a rank and make friends and roleplay. I set a personal goal to become one because it looked like a blast. So, yes! Not immediately, but soon after I joined.  Jaywhisker --  To be honest no it wasn't, I mean we all aspire to one day take the roll but I just wanted to be part of the community again and catch up with friends. I personally needed the extra space from reality itself and I found that Bryniel was the best way to cope with that. Being a High Rank only showed me how much I was valued as a member and it has really empowered my self esteem! You don't need to be a rank to feel that though, Bryniel has the best members and staff that make it so so welcoming ranks are just the happy plus one. Coalmask --  Honestly, it never even crossed my mind to be a high rank when I joined. I was about 11 when I joined, and I wasn't looking for fame or fortune. I just wanted to have some people to talk to and roleplay with! Thanks to some medical problems and experiences, I'm not the most well-liked person in real life. If anything, I was one of the least-liked. Still am, actually. But Bryniel was always about the chance of being in a sanctuary place, where I can chat and have fun. Will I say I've never thought about being a high rank, or hoped for it after a while? No, certainly not. After a while, I wanted to be a high rank. But it was, and never will be, the main reason I'm on Bryniel. Whitecreek --  I first joined the site when it was created, and I didn't want to be a high rank. I had been treated poorly in a high rank position on a different site before witch was half the reason i decided to join Bryniel when it was made, so I wasn't interested in it again. I also was a mega noob LMAO. I only ever had a 'goal' to be a high rank once, and it didn't end well, it shouldn't be a goal to be a high rank. Wanting one is fine, but in the end I think the biggest goal it to be productive, helpful, and passionate about the sight and you'll get one in no time. Whitestar -- Not at all! Being a high rank never crossed my mind before it was first offered to me. I joined Bryniel soon after it was first created, and I was still a bit of a newbie. It sounds cheesy, but all I was looking for was a place where to keep in contact with friends and develop my characters. I'm incredibly grateful of every chance I've been given to be a rank though, and I love trying to make them as interesting as possible! Lionfoot --  When I joined the site, all those many eons ago, no my main goal wasn't to become a High Rank. Back then, I actually had no idea if I would stick it out with Bryniel, due to the fact I hadn't ever RPed on a "webs" platform before, and didn't know what to expect out of the RPers; and if anything, was ready to bail on the entire thing. After a while, when I saw how awesome it actually was, I began to invest my time into just trying to keep up with the site and become "noticed" and less of a "shadowy noob". While it'd have been cool back then, the idea was waaaayyy too intimidating. Jackalwind --  Oh, definitely not. I joined Bryniel ages ago, and I was honestly too young and too nooby to care about something like a rank. I wanted one in the vague, dreamy way everyone wants one; I thought it'd be nice, and fun, etc, but I never really expected it to happen. I only really started considering the idea several years later, and I sent in a few tryouts here and there but never got one until Jackalwind- which was quite a surprise, to be frank! I joined Bryniel to be with my friends, and to grow as a writer, and even though I'm a rank now, those are still my two biggest motivations. In my opinion, they always should be.

“This is a very sensitive topic, and I can't say much on it. Personally, Daybreak betrayed my trust, our loyalty, and family line. Me and Squirrelblitz have come to an understanding among ourselves, and I have more sympathy for the two than anger anymore. That's between us though, and to the clan, I can't approve of them. I won't see their children as part of our family. He's tainted our blood and left maggots that will grow into flies. I don't think Shadowclan should have any business with the other clans, let alone making children with them. Daybreak is hardly a sister, just another sad case.” - Whitecreek

Hey Bryniel members! We’re going to be running a High Rank Interview column. This column is going to allow users to submit their questions they’d like asked to the high ranks. What kinds of questions can you ask? Your questions can be directed to all the high ranks, one high rank or rank groups (leaders, deputies, etc). We have decided to give a fully anonymous platform for users to submit their questions. Your questions can be both in character and out of character.  So we welcome you to participate in the ask your high ranks column! To ask a question click “Submit” on the blog or “Ask”. 

speaking offff, we’re starting a move as well!!! aa so exciting. 

A drawing of a character I did over on Bryniel! Her name is Saplily and she’s currently Shadowclan’s new Medicine Cat!
