okay so on the poll I made a couple days ago this won:
Barley meows: Rivereyes,Haytail,Cloverflight,Nightfeather and Moonfrost
When Raven and Barl first found out that they were going to be parents Barl was overjoyed however Raven was extremely insecure about the whole thing.
Not only because he identifies as a Tom but he also had doubts of whether he’d be a good dad or if he was even deserving of caring for another lives.
One night this is too much for him and he starts sobbing uncontrollably and scratching himself.
However his sister Brindleface (brindle doesn’t die bc of the dogs) comes to visit and asks him what’s wrong.
Raven explains his insecurities to her Brindle starts cleaning him off and debunks every single one of his worries and she’s like “I’m going to give Barley a good fucking lecture when he comes back”
Barley is very excited about the whole thing and blabbers about it to Violet however he’s still decently anxious and asks her questions about taking care of kits.
Soon Barley comes back with several large rats he’s surprised to see Brindle and asks her what’s going on and she attempts to lecture him but is interrupted by Raven and he says “I think that id be more suited If I say this” and lectures Barley.
Barley now suddenly realizes his carelessness and starts stepping up and making Raven feel better about the situation.
Soon their kits are born, they name them Riverkit cloverkit and haykit
Raven loves them very much. so does Barley
however soon they become Riverpaw Haypaw and Cloverpaw (haha thanks Firestar)
Riverpaw meets a Kittypet named Rosemary and starts becoming close with her Cloverpaw is PISSED because Rosemary is his secret mate.
Haypaw starts having encounters with her great grandpa Myler and Grandma Curse, she tells her father Barley about it he tells her about his past as a bloodclan cat and explains that former bloodclan cats and bloodclan cats are haunted by ghosts this also applies to the relatives of said former or Bloodclan cat.
Haypaw starts forming a bond with her great grandpa and grandma and it brings a smile to Barley’s face Haypaw also meets Firestar’s kits Leafpaw and Squirrelpaw and becomes friends with them she also becomes friends with Stormflight and Featherstream (aka Stormfur and Feathertail)
Meanwhile Riverpaw starts developing a crush on Rosemary. Rosemary also starts developing a crush on her too but is too afraid to confess.
soon Ravenpaw and Barley have Nightkit and Moonkit. Cloverpaw is terribly upset he begins to hate Barley and his siblings.
Riverpaw and Haypaw are thrilled about their siblings! they love them dearly!
Soon Ravenpaw notices that Nightkit doesn’t play with her siblings and is very timid and afraid of them and is even afraid of her own dad Ravenpaw soon is able to gain her trust.
oh yeah an ravenpaw moonkit and Nightkit have a lot of adorable moments together.
Barley and Haytail have a very healthy Father Kit relationship,Haytail is very much a fathers kit she still loves her dad though but they do have some issues at times however they typically sort them out.
Ravenpaw and Nightfeather are extremely close and their relationship is quite healthy however Nightfeather feels distant from him at times however they are still very close.
Cloverflight and Barley have a very shitty relationship. When Clover was a kit they had a wonderful father son dynamic! they’d do lots of things together. However when Cloverpaw became an apprentice and when his siblings were born he started getting angry because he wasn’t getting that much attention. He started blaming all of his problems on Barley. Now their father son dynamic is basically non existent.
Rivereyes is close with her dad Ravenpaw they do lots of things together and Rivereyes like asking her dad for advice what she should paint (her friend Leafpool told her about painting!) Rivereyes paints using crushed berries and stones. Ravenpaw is always proud of his daughter’s paintings!
Moonfrost and Barley have a wonderful Father son bond, Barley was slightly afraid of him at first (haha thanks Cloverflight you little shit) however he soon realized that Moonfrost was extremely fond of him. Moonfrost enjoys his father’s company. Moonfrost was sad a lot of the time though because he wanted to get to know his littermate Nightfeather but she wouldn’t let him until they were apprentices.
