#toadfoot

chemicals in the lake are making the cats GAY >:(

Basically a masterpost about this specific AU

-Lionblaze transman, autistic and won't pick up any social cue.

-Lionblaze is not a calico, he is a chimera

-Lionblaze big guilt and OCD over his power

-Lionblaze fears he will end up like Scourge as a part of his OCD (i have to find a way to let everyone know that Scourge is related to Firestar tho....)

-Lionblaze and Toadfoot only aknowledge each other in The Fourth Apprentice when they are on their way to the beavers and they become gay

-Lionblaze keeps his personality from late po3 (kind of dumb, can't pick up any clue, very ocd, is socially very awkward and clumsy, clearly needs help to navigate social situations properly)

-Lionblaze is very much the same as in canon, very flawed, he is still the most forgiving of the 3 and does try to talk it out with Squirrelflight and Leafpool, he feels very isolated in his clan due to the prophecy, the lies around his birth and Hollyleaf being presumed dead, which makes him more prone to have a relationship with an outsider instead of a thunderclan warrior

-Toadfoot also went through losing a sibling (Marshkit), he doesn't have a canonical father so I think he would be very attached to his mom (Tallpoppy) and remaining sibling (Applefur), he is also seen being playful, friendly and understanding towards Flametail I love toadfoot

-Lionblaze and Toadfoot have big rivals to lovers energy and it was my favorite weird "crack" ship when I was 13

-The AU also centers around the flaws of StarClan and their weird mechanic that keeps changing over time (ashfur goes to starclan because he just found his way there, and leafpool gets to go through a whole trial somehow???)

-Living cats and StarClan fight dark forest first, and then living cats turn more or less against StarClan for being as incomprehensible as possible, doing blatant favoritism, letting bad seeds get in and throwing out overall good cats, and the warrior code will also be reformed because it's way overdue grrrr

-Maybe Dovewing and Ivypool are the babies of Hollyleaf and Cinderheart instead of Birchfall and Whitewing ? I never really liked that Dovewing was indeed linked to the 3 but she was so far away in family tree tbh :((

-Lionblaze will have babies with Toadfoot as some point (Maybe adopted ? I don't know yet) and they won't have many children, and I will do everything in my power to get rid of all the current incest in the books >:(

-I think the babies of Lionblaze and Toadfoot will look like Tallpoppy and Leafpool because i love them

-Leafpool, Squirrelflight and Tallpoppy will both be aware of the relationship at some point, but they will keep their mouth shut and be supporting mothers because they are very cool and progressive

-I don't know if I will ever write fanfiction about this, I am already working on a clangen project, so if I do anything about it it will only be a small side project ! I use this AU to rewrite things that make me happier than the canon version (like making transman OCD autistic lionblaze, i find it easier for me to relate to him) :)

Me and @midgepetal are making an AU (in short it's what if Hollyleaf had powers instead of Dovewing and Applefur was the fourth cat instead of Firestar to explain her time travel and I think she was massively underutilised.) There's a lot more stuff like trans femme Jayf and a whole plot line around that and stuff (and Hollyleaf gets a lot of focus and she is a puller of chics. You'll understand later). Hollyleaf sees almost every future and Applefur can travel through time and universe, mostly accidentally at first, but she can do it fully at will and not by the will of afterlife like Jayfeather.

Fun fact: each prophecy cat has a little marker. It first appears as a dot on somewhere on their fur and on their front right pawpad when they find our their status as a prophecy cat, and it becomes a star when they all find each other. Applefur skipped this as she was taken aside by Jayf before Hollyleaf's announcement and they all found out each other's status because the gathering started.

And to explain Dovewing: it was a mistake, and she instead has hyperacusis. But the Clans don't have a great concept of disability, so instead they think she had powers. An outsider helps. Yes, it is a storyline. A very angsty one (it is being written with the help/by someone with a hypersensitivity to sound, BTW!)

And one last little thing: the whole Ancients thing is still a massive WiP

Also here's all my art (Midge posted some on their blog) (I'm also planning to make a blog for this AU specially):

And a little comic (done in Yiddish order, left to right, agaih because I am a numbskull):
