#stormstar

Starscream likes Acid Storm because of his lack of ambition. He knows the mech won’t try to take his position, or even report anything less than dire in case it turns attention to himself. Acid Storm, meanwhile, has no idea why the treacherous second in command keeps following him around and interacting with him and isn’t sure he wants the answer.

Acid Storm goes out of his way to get a gift for Starscream, which is probably why the seeker is so shocked at getting it.

Moon 55 in Wolfclan!

Congratulations to the new warriors, and the new mothers. May they have many happy years in their futures. Perhaps Bluffblaze or Cindershade will be available for kitsitting now, hehe.

The kittypet that a questing trio found back in moon 52 has made a recovery, and joined the clan as Pinkiepelt. Icejay keeps eyeing him from a distance, maybe there's something going on between them?

Pikachupelt has an ominous dream, and tells Storklily about it, who is ruffled to say the least. With how the last medicine cat's meeting went, this could mean bad things are on their way.

Lastly, Burdockbee continues to get.... weirder. Since the last moon, he has grown lethargic, sick, and plumper. He seems to have come out of his shell a bit too, wanting to spend his free time with Crookedneedle, chatting or trying to cuddle. What could be wrong with him?

Previous moon!

Names I would change for one reason or another (Part 1/?)

Crookedstar -> Stormstar

For him to take back the name that was stolen from him by Rainflower and Hailstar would be satisfying for me. I don’t believe that cats would just sit around and start calling him Crookedkit/paw/jaw because of how cruel it was, and he would still be referred as as Storm by the closest people around him. When he becomes leader and receives his nine lives, he dawns on his true name: “Stormstar.” He can finally put the past to rest and look forward, in a way.

Deadfoot -> Vulturefoot

Can 👏 We 👏 Stop 👏 Naming 👏 Kids 👏 After 👏 Their 👏 Disabilities 👏 PLEASE 🙏 (LOOKING AT YOU HEATHERSTAR)

I actually used to really like Deadfoot’s name back as a kid, before I understood the implications of it. It had this really nice edge to the name that really spoke to me. Because of this, I wanted to give Deadfoot a new name that still reflected the vibes he already had. Vultures are birds that are commonly associated with death and I don’t think any warriors cats in canon have this prefix so it still is unique to him. Plus, Vultures are actually really sweet birds, so it suits his personality too!

Whitethroat -> Warblerthroat

Minor character in TPB that I liked and was sad that he died! This change is rooted in me not understand how his name could ever have been “Whitekit” and developing lore around ShadowClan so I can change it. ShadowClan has a lot of superstitions surrounding birth in the clan and one of them is that you never name your kit with the prefix “White” or other prefixes that are colored white because it is said to bring bad luck on the kit. Because ShadowClan relies on dense forest and marshlands for their way of life, they adapted to become one with the moving shadows across their territory. White or otherwise bright colored pelts stand out, and thus you can’t be as sneaky. Bright pelt colors already bring difficulties for a kit born in ShadowClan, and naming your kit as such would be bringing down a curse that will follow that kit throughout their life.
