#star thoughts

There's a moment during the movie where Simon says something along the lines of,

"What makes more sense, every planet and most of the population vanishing? Or only a few small space stations?....and if it's already happened once, it stands to reason that it could, possibly, happen again."

That idea that THEY might be the ones that vanished??? That there's a (very slim) chance of them getting flashed back but it could be POSSIBLE??? What a line. What a concept.

What a way to show how Simon has and always will always cling to any possible hope of things getting better, even if by the end that means giving up himself up to pass that hope on to the rest of the survivors.

Genetics + Names

Both Moonflower and Snowfur got name changes! Moon was because I prefer the concept of "moon" only being used in naming under very special circumstances. And Snow is because her appearance changed so drastically when I changed her genetics, but I kept the concept of her being named after her fur

Bluestar and Stormtail were pretty easy to keep as canon, and I liked the idea of Blue looking like her dad just more... blue...

Softblossom I kept fairly accurate to canon as well, but I made her a classic tabby because I always saw her as very soft, so I thought the more swirly looking marks would add to that soft apperance

Smoketuft... Is not at all like canon LMAO. So I know that there are lots of ways you can interpret her design into a genetically accurate way that stays fairly true to her book description. However, I got reallyyyy into the idea of her looking like her mom, as a sort of parallel to Blue looking like their dad. So! Gray and silver she became.

Lore Thoughts

Where do I even begin... I'm still debating a lot of Stormtail's and Softblossom's whole... relationship and falling out. I am not entirely sure how I want to handle it exactly? So I kinda just set it to the side for now..

When they were kits and apprentices, Blue was more of the strict rule follower and serious one, while Smoke was the rebellious trouble maker. They butted heads a lot because of this.

I think the idea of Blue also losing her dad contributing to her mounting grief would be fun... Especially because I am also toying around with the idea of her really looking up to her father, wanting to be a strong warrior like him and dedicated to trying to make him proud.

Current Bluestar (as of the start of Into the Wild) is a very refined and serious leader. She keeps her feelings and emotions carefully hidden behind the mask she has built over the years in order to protect herself. Many cats in ThunderClan look up to and respect her, and she cares very deeply for her clanmates. She wants what is best for her Clan and wants to ensure the cats under her care are well taken care of. She has a rather bad habit of not confiding in others, even those that she really should be talking with (ie her deputy...)
