Rockdove’s path is clouded by anger and hurt—multiplied by many. When StormClan’s long-time leader Finchstar fell in a code-violating ambush by TalonClan on the night of a Gathering, their world fell apart.

In the gruesome battle, Rockdove lost not only her guide in Finchstar, but also her dear brother Pigeonstorm.

Though she does have her lovely mate Softblossom by her side, it’s hard not to feel lonely at the top.

Here’s to Rockstar. May she lead StormClan to prosperity.

Saying Goodbye to Finchstar: The Legacy of a Leader

After nearly 100 moons of devoted service, the cats of StormClan were forced to bid farewell to their steadfast and compassionate leader, Finchstar.

Struck down by a second brutal attack before she could recover from the loss of her 8th life, Finchstar displayed unwavering courage as she led her patrol back to camp despite the growing pull of StarClan’s call.

Surrounded by her family—her daughter and grandkits—and the loyal warriors who had stood by her side for countless seasons, Finchstar, who many believed would always be there to guide them, drew her final breath.

Strong, brave, kind, and just, Finchstar was the heart and foundation of StormClan. Her loss will leave a void felt by every cat in the Clan.

Valentine's Day RP Event!

Love is in the air on (Yet) Another Warriors RP! Roses are red Violets are blue We want you to make your OC's dreams come true We're hosting a fun Valentine's Day event where you and another writer will be paired up together and working with a prompt to make all your character's romantic dreams come true (or... hilarity will ensue?).

Original Warriors covers vs new covers, a tangential word vomit analysis by me: ORIGINALS Into the Wild really pulls you in. Who are they? Why does the one on the right look vicious? What's up here?

Fire and Ice is like, "Shit's going DOWN." The little square with Fireheart and Graystripe sitting for their vigil is beautiful. Love the moon. Love the difference in colors between the square and the battle in the background.

Forest of Secrets is breathtaking. It's easily one of my favorite book covers ever. Fireheart's back is exposed, the story dives into betrayal, and the cats crossing the stepping stones is ... just perfect.

Rising Storm with the hunting sequence and itty bitty fluffy lil baby Cloudtail. I wanna scoop him up and snuggle him and give him churus. The background looks beautiful. I want to go there. It contrasts well with the tension of one cat stalking another.

A Dangerous Path with that LIGHNTNING IN THE BACKGROUND omg middle school me was obsessed. That's the one I remember seeing my friend read and then I finally asked her what those books were. I remember thinking, "I can't wait to get to that book," because it was clear some big stuff was going on in it.

The Darkest Hour is so calm and really gives eye of the storm vibes, and Firestar seeing his reflection as a lion is beautiful and an excellent payoff.

NEW COVERS The new covers are like, "This is a cat," and that's about it. Great. Yeah, that's a cat. A pretty kitty, one might say.

Into the Wild's is okay. Rusty looks a bit baby-faced, as to be expected, and his eye is well-done. I like the grass, but also it looks like he's just popping up from it even though I feel like the intent is that he's supposed to be stalking through the foliage? On Fire and Ice's cover, I can tell that's Tigerclaw. Looks like the still shot of a villain in an anime while they're plotting their Evildoings and you can hear their inner monologue. But he also looks like a very old bearded man, for some reason. The little embers against the wintry background is a nice touch. Why is Forest of Secrets golden? Why is the river piss? Why is it sparkly? This does not invoke long-buried secrets being unearthed and changing lives, reputations, and social statuses. It has more of a "summer vacations that last forever" bright and pretty vibe. Rising Storm is ... eh. Red. Fiery. Okay. But the overly airbrushed, sparkly-eyed kitty doesn't show me that tensions are building. It just looks like kitty is doing a photoshoot for their Insta. I think that's Yellowfang?? A Dangerous Path is, like, where is that light coming from and why? Nothing here looks dangerous. The cat looks like it's being blinded. I don't even know which cat that's supposed to be. The forest background is dark to remind us that this is a DANGEROUS path but forests are dark at night and not inherently dangerous because they're dark. Aaannd then we get to The Darkest Hour. All they had to do was include a fucking lion somewhere. It would've been cool even if it was sitting behind Firestar. It doesn't look like he's looking at his reflection. It looks ... I don't even know. The water effect would work much better if it looked like it was rippling outward from somewhere? Instead, they made it look like the water is moving in an outline around his head, which doesn't make any sense. It's sourceless. Where does the movement start? Where is it going? I don't know. I can't tell.

This gathering is fuckin spicy. Holy shit. After ripping Dawnstar's throat out in the territorial battle between LeafClan and SunsetClan, Stonestep tempers himself at the gathering, barely reacting as Dawnstar twists the events leading up to the fight in front of every Clan.

The raging floods brought on by weeks of rain are finally subsiding, and as the affected Clans rebuild their camps, mentors are training their apprentices in preparation for battles just beyond the horizon, while other warriors are feeling romantic in the presence of blooming flowers and warm sunshine. (Yet) Another Warriors RP aims to bring your nostalgia to life as an adults-only Warriors roleplay forum. No word count. Unlimited characters. Endless story potential. “‘Let all cats old enough to climb gather just below the high-branches for a Clan meeting,’ his voice resonated, echoing along the surfaces of their tree grove. Eyes shone like emeralds above them all, looking downwards with his crown of branches. As they gathered, he waited with glinting eyes and that familiar crescent grin.” - Leopardgale (Minky), Howling Gale in the Night “‘If you doubt my loyalty again, it’ll be the last thing you do.’” - Wildheart (Avery), Sharpening Skills

“Stagpaw was lost already. Oh no. He never had to do anything like this before. He never trained with another apprentice. Is this normal? Stick. Get the stick. Just get the stick before Echopaw. Wait, is that all? Stagpaw quickly ran through what Seedfire said to them as fast as he could.” - Stagpaw (Ice), Double Trouble

It’s so easy to see a friend “active” and reblogging on tumblr, or maybe making a status update on Facebook and feel hurt they haven’t replied to our messages.
