#storkclaw

I might have been tooling around with a thing lately (and if I make it just a bit more polished I might even start posting about it lmao), but here are some contextless doodles of some characters.

"I try but I can't let go of it / Can't let go of it, no."

People who follow my art account are getting spoilers. Shh, don't tell 🤫

Jasmine

✨Initial thoughts / opinions

Nobody outside of Creekclan can see it cuz. Y’know. But anyway, when I first started writing Jasmine I really wasn’t sure what I was doing with them? I had a concept of what I wanted out of them, but I wasn’t entirely sure how to write it because it was so far outside of what I usually write. A lot of my characters are usually very outwardly emotional and talkative, and Jasmine was my attempt to try and break that sort of pitfall, but in turn I struggled with it a lot SHFOSUDO

I didn’t really get a hold on them until the roleplay I did with them & Ember, where it finally clicked and I was like OH. Yes. This is them. I’m happy with how they are now, and they’re one of my favorites to write :3c I hope everybody sees more of them soon!!(!!!!!)

Storkclaw

🍁 Favorite rp / moment

I really enjoyed when he first reunited with Pebbletoes! Their interactions are fun even if I get distracted from writing really quick (sob). Everytime I write him with her I feel like I get to show more of who Storkclaw really is, just because he kind of has a front up whenever anybody else is around. She kinda takes some of the weight off of his shoulders to have to try and be the positive one in every situation, even if he feels guilt for leaving and that isn’t gonna go away anytime soon. Pebbletoes I love you :3c

☁️ Alternate clan au

Is Briarclan Storkclaw an au?? I guess it would be, because it would be the result of like… different events taking place. I thought about trying to do a Canyon!Stork au, but his family is rooted in Briarclan firmly and he hated Canyonclan up until recently for the death of his mother & all of the grief they caused not only her but also his clanmates so he wouldn’t have joined them instead. Anyway.

If Storkclaw had stayed in Briarclan, I think he would be a lot less vocal than he is today. When he left for a bit, he had the opportunity to really reflect on what he had and how important clan life was to him. If he never left, I think he’d have been crushed again and again by what was happening no matter how hard he tried to stay positive about it, especially with his mother’s passing. It’d be a different character arc for sure!

Flakestorm

☘️ Relationship dynamics with the most potential

Ok, first, I think it’s very funny that Flakestorm keeps seeing mean nb cats and saying oh? Oh? You are my best friend? My best friend in the world? :) He’s done it like three times now. It’s very funny to me because he’s Like That.

I’d really like to work some more with Flakestorm and Wildspirit; Flakestorm really looks up to Wildspirit (well, to be fair, there are very few cats he doesn’t look up to. Your cat could stomp on a kitten and Flakestorm would look up to them for their strength or something there’s something wrong with him fr). Wildspirit taking Flakestorm under his wing a bit has helped Flake a lot with coming out of his shell, and being willing to joke around and talk with his clanmates a little bit less like they’re a pack of feral dogs and more like they’re other cats that only might bite him a little bit.
