WHAT'S NIGHTHOUND?

As a follow up to the "Who's Houndstrike?" post, we have now, "What's Nighthound?", some may already know what this ship entails, but some newer followers may not, so we have another post for them!

Nighthound is a ship between my character: Houndstrike, and Fabi's character: Nightleaf! They're not canon? Maybe? Some weird third thing? They have their own little world where they're canon in my heart.

Nighthound started as a funny little thing for me and Leaf! Just us messing around with our two cats, but it became bigger than we could ever imagine, now they have their own lore and dynamics, and hypokits!

But, what IS their lore? Well it's simple, when they sleep, they go to a "dream forest" and can see each other, they're in different dimensions/spaces when they're awake, but when they dream, it's a totally different thing. They have meet each other as kits and it scaled up from there! In the present time they have some kind of weird romantic relationship, but in art works you can see a bunch of different time frames, as kits, and paws or young adults!

WHO IS HOUNDSTRIKE?

I'm sure the vast majority of my followers and mutuals knows who this little fat guy is, but i want to do a new pinned and I need to explain who he is for new people!

Houndstrike is my Warrior Cats OC who has most art works, he's also the protagonist of my fan story: The Broken Ties. He's a trans tom and goes by he/him.

I use him as some kind of mascot too, but his story still very relevant in most of his art work!

Houndstrike story is quite tragic and complex, but I'll simplify for easy understanding. He's a very respected warrior who lost his sibling, and this event is very important because it's what makes him realize he's just a paw for violence, the clan life is only violence, everything he fights for is useless in the end, he starts to question the clan life ways and how he participates in that. Now he needs to decide if he wants to keep his miserable life in the clans or make a change, but his path is very rocky and he'll need to fight a lot to achieve what he wants.
