imo they tried a bit too hard to make moonpaw special she's a "chimera" who explicitly has a half-and-half face and is named Moonpaw, when that suffix is generally only reserved for somewhat special occasions like the Moonpool (idk why Moonflower is named that shh) and like everything about her is just SO special she has a dead malicious sibling that haunts her ooo she has crescent-shaped ear tufts and that's how she got her name?? she, according to the wiki, is the second character EVER in the series to have heterochromia, the first being a random background cat she's very clearly "not like everyone else" i've talked about how a lot of the preview alone just didn't make any sense when you really thought about it and Moonpaw doesn't make much sense to me either as a character. she's SO special that how ghosts and shit as we know it was changed to make her stand out (this happened a lot but you get the point (none of those changes were ever really good imo)) and her design just screams "child made their first warriors oc without considering how it fit into the world" to me. like, a "CHIMERA" alone? with heterochromia?? bffr. i know the erins don't care about logistics and all, but the chances of a cat being born a chimera is RARE, around 1%, and you can literally count on one hand how many of said chimeras had heterochromia. the chances of that happening are SLIM, like, 1 in 1,000,000. maybe even 10mil, depending on your sources. hell, this isn't even factoring the fucking family trees Moonpaw just looks weird as fuck for the aesthetic and i know the fandom is tired of "basic" designs, but i actually LIKE the simplicity of the designs. leaves a lot to the imagination, and besides, how many people own brown tabby #23 in real life? cats, as much as you may hate to admit it, aren't that fantastic in terms of looks. like yes they're cute, and yes you've got mutations here and there, but for the most part, they're tabby or solid with the occasional splash of white. breeds like Bengals and Japanese bobtails have to be bred, and I HIGHLY doubt clan cats are selectively breeding themselves for their dream baby, and again, not accounting for how clan cats are effectively a closed ecosystem if you want her to be special, make her realistically special. Redtail, for his lack of character, had a neat design; small tom tortie with a... well, red tail. i can believe that. tortie toms CAN exist, they're just rare (and im saying i can believe Redtail's DESIGN, not the fact that he's a tortie tom), and the red tail can just be blamed on how the red appeared on his coat. some torties can have a drop of ginger and others are primarily ginger. PLUS, he's small. tortie toms would realistically be small. and I KNOW erins don't give a damn about cat genetics and that they didn't know tortie toms were rare, but when you put Redtail and Moonpaw side by side… well shit LMFAO. there's also a trend how some cats tend to be special but simple blue/black cats are often put in important positions (e.g. Bluestar, Dovewing, Crowfeather, Nightheart, etc.) we all know how brown tabbies are comically evil (Tigerstar I, Brokenstar, Raggedstar [debatable], Splashtail, etc.) Ginger tabbies are also typically of some importance (Firestar, Sparkpelt, Flametail, Yarrowleaf, etc.) yellow/cream + golden-brown cats are often just that cat (Berrynose, Brackenfur, Thornclaw, Dawnpelt, etc.) and obviously this mold doesn't have to be filled exactly, but yk. AAAND don't even get me STARTED on the names! it's been somewhat lost in modern books, but in earlier books, names were given to cats with certain archetypes, like -flower being for characters who had a motherly personality, -claw for characters who were aggressive, so on so forth. obviously these patterns can be...
im alive no i didn't abandon my tumblr
been thinking about dotc so i'll probably post something about turtle tail tomorrow
not to harp on you (same anon who asked the previous questions (you still didn't answer the other questions i sent btw)) but may i ask why you're neutral on the use of ai?
i actually got this ask last night whoops i won't be super detailed (i will in fact be super detailed) but it comes down to the fact that i don't give a shit. I see a lotta of people being like "yk I may be bad at writing but at least I don't use ai on my essays" and i just... don't understand why we're shitting on people like that. a lot of kids just want to graduate, yk? and besides, most of the time they're talking about high schoolers, who are well enough informed to choose whether they want to use chatgpt on an essay or not, to which i still don't care what they choose it's like vaping in my mind, somehow, except vaping is more joked about compared to the usage of ai (from what i've seen, your experience can be totally different!). sure, vaping has been around longer, but keep that same energy. one destroys the lungs and the other destroys the brain, why joke about one and shit on the other? there's a difference between an elementary schooler using it and a high schooler. one could argue that an elementary schooler is stunting their growth but high schoolers actively choose to use it. i don't particularly believe its lazy because some teachers nowadays allow their students to use chatgpt as a resource and ai isn't actively killing people like vaping, unless i missed a murder robot being created or something. an actual take i've seen is that "ai is theft" which is true when it comes to art... but in this "ai is theft" context, the person was talking about using ai on an essay. it's a problem that people apply ai theft to everything. ai can't steal words. and again i can understand why some high schoolers choose to use it. they might be there just to graduate. i don't think that makes them losers or anything, or that they're destined to fail in life. it just makes them want to graduate. and this "anything is better than ai" take is also a bit funny to me because these are the same people who would find a robotic arm cool, or use their phones because believe it or not, a robotic arm is ai. yes, ai steals art off the internet to generate art and uses a lot of resources. i'm not going to argue that point, i agree that ai is bad that way. but I PROMISE YOU a lot more shit uses ai than you think.
that fucking Roomba? yep. ai
nearly every Google service? ai
fucking Spotify?? ai, along with YouTube Music, Pandora, etc.
it makes me wonder what people think "artificial intelligence" stands for? like, it's not limited to the internet, it's simply more advanced in the context of the internet. fucking cash registers are ai sit your holier than thou ass down I remember when Spotify admitted to using ai and people lost their shit. even back then it was stupid to me. do you expect Daniel Ek to recommend you songs himself??? and believe it or not, ai can create things that are pretty good! a guy once told ai to create a recipe that was better than Gordon Ramsay and according to the dude, the recipe was pretty damn good! he may have been biased against Ramsay, but the fact that an ai recipe didn't taste like shit still says something, yk?
"oh ai stole that recipe from the internet" firstly: no it didn't. it COMBINED different recipes to make one.
secondly: … how do you think people cook??? no recipe is original bucko. that ketchup and chocolate spaghetti you made was probably made back in the 1700s
even SHAKESPEARE had inspiration. the bible! he was able to use that inspiration to build his own thing! ai, in that particular cookinng instance (ai art is theft), was basically doing the same thing i know i sound like an ai glazer right now, but i promise you i'm not. 1: let's not import ai quite literally fucking everywhere. i don't want to be judged by a computer screen if i ever got arrested and had to go to court. ai learns from data systems, and if that system includes a bias, then what the ai outputs is also going to be biased. i would highly prefer if we kept it limited to the internet and machinery (many vehicles also use ai via a GPS system) 2: as ai is used more commonly, more people lose their jobs simply because ai is "easier" to train, and possibly more "obedient." i once saw a completely pro-ai guy say something along the lines of "the great depression was caused by humans ai wouldn't do that..." i was sick. ai systems would eventually wear down and cause errors in, say, a banking system, which is why its so expensive to maintain. is it convenient? yes, but also risky as more humans just don't feel a need to work because ai can do it. 3: art theft, as i mentioned before. you've probably heard this to hell and back so i won't explain much. 4: back to point 2, ERRORS. if something goes wrong somewhere, who's responsible? how did it happen? more often than not, multiple people are working on different parts of ai at different times, and because AI systems are (sometimes) simultaneous in, say, generating a response or art, WHAT exactly went wrong is difficult to pin down. if we can't do it confidently, why are we relying on it so heavily? are we ready to face a potentially fatal mistake if something crucial goes wong? i'm not, which is why you won't ever see me talking positively about ANY care that relies SOLELY on ai. if it falters and veers to the right a little too much, someone probably broke six ribs 5: it gives parents an excuse to just not be parents. again, you've probably heard this before so I won't go too into detail, but if you can't be bothered to raise a kid, then don't have one. "o-oh but it's tradition for my fami-" fuck them?? adopt your kid out to someone who'll actually love them. I have zero sympathy for people who throw a tablet in front of their kids and don't spend an ounce of time with them otherwise.
ironically, i've got this while trying to get sources for this post. point 4: errors. there's a ton of other points i didn't even mention, like scamming (people are so gullible nowadays) and laziness (if i EVER read a fic on ao3 and it's ai i'm crashing tf out). but this post is probably getting too long so: TLDR: i don't care for most usages of ai (also yes anon i'll answer your questions soon you asked some heavy ones so)

OKAY i know i said i'll talk about mute-Reedwhisker (and I swear I will) but i had this really funky idea:
"No Image" cat on the left is named Sparrowfeather. The brown cat on the right is also Sparrowfeather. One resides in StarClan, the other in the Dark Forest. SO I HAD THIS IDEA of them being the same cat. StC Sparrowfeather is a tom, and DF Sparrowfeather is a molly, but:
Yeah. And you don't need to create an appearance for StC Sparrow since DF Sparrow already has one. Sparrowfeather, in my rewrite, is one of the oldest cats residing in the DF, behind Maggottail (oldest) and Silverhawk (close after Maggottail). I didn't like the idea of One Eye "founding" the DF, but maybe he still is a founder, just not the founder. Anyway, the idea of Sparrowfeather giving Crookedstar a life and somehow descending to the DF is intriguing to me. Since she's been dead for a while in StarClan, maybe she has a bit of an ego? I'll come back to this idea because Sparrowfeather already has a pretty solid character in my mind, and I'll probably need to talk about the StarClan and DF thing I'm doing if what I'll say about DOTC characters and where they reside will make any sense.
i'm fairly neutral on the use of ai
i keep thinking "what if reedwhisker was mute"
same anon :33 tbh i never considered fallowtail hateable but ig your post brings up some points lol
also WHAT about Blossomfall and Hawkfrost having kits?? i thought your au was serious 😭 I hope you know I am stalking your page and waiting for you to reply.
hello same anon :3 you're spamming my inbox (i'm not mad) my au is semi-serious. it's a lot of concepts that i think of without any warning and then try to make it make sense on paper. SO UM yeah Blossom doesn't have kits with Thornclaw because A: that clears up the tree and B: Thornclaw, IF i give him kits, will most likely have them with someone else. i'm not a massive shipper. i actually rarely ship things, but I like exploring questionable dynamics. accidentally getting pregnant by your abusive dead mentor in hell? absolutely, i can work with that. but the thing is that this idea is outdated lmfao. remember the "try to make the concepts make sense" thing? uh yeah, I found it MUCH more interesting if Hawkfrost was a redeemable antag that lived. I honestly can't see Brambleclaw murdering him after sucking up to him for the entire arc + the additional distrust from Firestar for not saving him but keeping him as deputy is also an intriguing dynamic. i'm rambling here, send me a different ask about Hawkfrost lol SO ANYWAY, yeah. Blossom and Hawk most likely will not be having kits anymore. it might be Blossom and Rushtooth instead. Rushtooth was present in ALITM and a bit of Spottedleaf's Heart, and I always found it weird that Blossom had kits the arc RIGHT after her time in the Dark Forest. i don't particularly remember if there was a time skip between OotS and AVOS (there probably was and I'm just stupid) but no time to recuperate? i've also mentioned here that Rushtooth is hanging around in RiverClan's camp. so why not give them a reason? so the concept here is that even though Blossom fights against the DF in the Great Battle, she views their strength as something to not go to waste. Ivypool (who earns NUMEROUS scars there) survived and everyone knows she's a great choice for deputy. what's the issue? and with the early version of The Kin emerging nearing the end of OotS, (you'll understand why) and already proving troublesome, stealing prey and whatnot, it adds to the stress. Rushtooth is one of Blossomfall's mentors instead of Applefur. they were always more sensitive to the living world than other DF members. they've never quite gotten over their death (which is undecided, I'm open to ideas) and have been looking for connections to the living world. they WEREN'T looking for kits here. but Blossomfall is theatrical and brutally honest. whenever Rushtooth asks her a question about life, "What's the current state of ThunderClan?" she answers. "It's shit."
Rushtooth doesn't care about ThunderClan. Blossomfall isn't an idiot, but she, for all of her bitchiness (affectionate), needs to vent. Millie and Briarlight aren't getting any better. She and Graystripe aren't getting any closer. Bumblestripe isn't a good venting partner (affectionate), and Ivypool isn't either (aggressive). And Blossomfall is pretty. Rushtooth doesn't care about that either, but it gives them status. Mapleshade belittles Rushtooth in Spotted's Heart, so in my AU, they're on the lower end of the "hierarchy" in the DF. not much respect is shot their way, but having a pretty, devoted, successful trainee, AND being her closest mentor boosts them a bit. and hey why not, for funsies Hawkfrost has a crush on Blossomfall just as a reference to the original idea. he later drops this though because he'll quit training in the DF before her and devote himself more to RiverClan, thus seeing her less. but anyway, the death of Briarlight crushes her... but not really. Blossomfall and Briarlight drifted away over time in this AU. Blossomfall became more mean-spirited and Briarlight distanced herself from that. she had enough on her plate with Millie. so when Briarlight dies, Blossomfall doesn't attend the vigil. she wouldn't be welcome. she's everything Briarlight hated. Blossomfall is negative and spiteful and she trained in the DF and continues to do so. but more importantly, Millie and Graystripe are there. and she HATES them. it's selfish. mainly NOT attending her sister's funeral because of THEIR shitty parents, and Blossomfall vents all about it to Rushtooth. "I know it's cruel and awful that I didn't go, but Briarlight wouldn't want me there anyway. We didn't get along that well, and I would've only started drama."
"You sound like you're deflecting from the fact that it's about your feelings. You don't know what Briarlight would've wanted." "Of course I don't! And I never will because I'll never make it to StarClan to ask her! Not that I would've. No way she'd talk to me then. I skipped her funeral--who wants to talk to their littermate after that?" Rushtooth doesn't care that much. Blossomfall isn't stupid, as I said earlier. But it works. Rushtooth isn't a demon, they're just in the DF. Rushtooth being a completely dismissive asshole also inspires Blossomfall to care less in general. Plenty of cats in ThunderClan are rude and aggressive and get away with it. Why should she feel guilty? She didn't attend Briarlight's vigil, so what? Millie and Graystripe did. She hopes Briarlight didn't expect her to go with them there. And besides, Blossomfall has another littermate. He's not Briarlight, and thank StarClan he isn't. Don't get it wrong, Blossomfall would still die for ThunderClan. But now she'd die for herself first. Blossomfall trains in the DF without much guilt now. Ivypool stops trying to stop her. In case you're curious anon, Blossomivy are a semi-thing. They get divorced every week but they can't stay away from each other. Ivypool has her first litter with Blossomfall by adopting the kits when they're born after A LOT of begging from Blossomfall. dw she still has Fernsong, probably. but yeah this massive response started with Blossomrush kits and it's ending like that lol. I already know what you're thinking. "How does a ghost have kits with a living warrior?" idk lmao, don't forget that this is all a massive concept (albeit one that I like the more I think about it). so yeah, Blossomfall and Rushtooth DO eventually have kits. Rushtooth figures that there's no better connection to the living world than a family, one that they never got to have when they were alive. Blossomfall agrees to be the surrogate because, well, why not? Everyone is moving on around her while she's stuck in the past. She's mad about that. It's embarrassing. Blossomfall agrees to be the surrogate because, well, why not? Everyone is moving on around her while she's stuck in the past. She's mad about that. It's embarrassing. So she agrees, on Rushtooth's condition that one of the kits MUST go to RiverClan somehow. they don't care how, but they must live in RiverClan. "Just one?" "Just one. I don't care what you do with the others." "No problem." Blossomfall could DEFINITELY be a better mother than Millie. Instead of having kits in AVOS, it's getting pushed back to TBC, most likely Lost Stars. During her pregnancy, she steps away from the DF to raise her kits. No way can she risk dying every night if she'll have a litter soon. This also sets up a 'reflection' arc for Blossomfall, now that she's away from the toxic environment of the DF and soon-to-be mother. this reflection arc is NOT a redemption arc. don't get it mixed up. Blossomfall is still just as rude and bullying and snappy as before, but is she? despite their ups and downs, despite Blossomfall literally bullying Ivypool as apprentices and the two getting into plenty of clashes as adults, Ivypool still wants to adopt Blossomfall's kits as her own. she and Bumblestripe are still close even after Millie and Graystripe and Briarlight. Blossomfall doesn't stop being nasty, but maybe she can be a bit nicer and extend a paw like the ones that were extended to her. She was allowed to stay in ThunderClan even after her status as a DF trainee was initially revealed. She still has the chance to be a mother and give her kits the childhood she wanted, even if their sire is a ghost in hell. This reflection is recognition. It's in Blossomfall's character to be unable to let go, she's far too toxic for that. But she can be nice, even if that niceness is coated in scathing words.
same anon but more questions, more general: 1: what are the dark forest and starclan like in your AU? 2: you said that duskfur and podlight don't like children. why? 3: is every character getting a name change?
anon you're scaring me how did you send this so quick anyway: "What are the Dark Forest and StarClan like in your AU?" This deserves a post of its own, sorry lmao. UHH the gist of it is that the difference between DF and StC is complicated. There is no clear "good" or "bad" afterlife for the Clans, the cats just happen to think that. it's as good or as bad as you, or the other residents, make it out to be. depending on how i explore this, there might be levels to StC and the DF "You said that Duskfur and Podlight don't like children. Why?" they're assholes. this one is more rambly, but duskfur really used to be an asshole. her character was just changed midway through the arc bc idk fuck her. i liked that duskfur couldn't fully accept what Curlfeather did, but i wished it was rooted in selfishness bc that's who Duskfur used to be. selfish, proud, and combative. she loves both of her children, but in my AU, Duskfur used to be a rogue before joining RiverClan under Tigerstar and Leopardstar (Tigerstar's ideology comes from a massive hypocrite in Thistleclaw), possibly sometime after during reconstruction and grave digging, since more cats are executed and/or die. timeline is still being figured out, but Curlfeather and Podlight will already been apprentice-aged when they joined RiverClan with Duskfur, possibly just above five moons, so a survivalist mindset comes first. while Curlfeather manages to expand her views (somewhat), Podlight is still a selfish character, and so is Duskfur since she keeps her rough edges from her time as a rogue. i feel like this is explained REALLY poorly so i'll probably have to make another post if you didn't understand what i meant "Is every character getting a name change?" no. a lot of characters keep their names like Lionheart, Redtail, Tigerclaw, etc. Bluefur might get changed to Blueflower after a bluebell (plant symbolism we love it). I'm currently working on TC's territory, but bluebells are most likely rare in their territory, so the name is a blessing of sorts in Tawnyspots' eyes (he changed their names). Bluemoon is a good name I see around, but I decided to give the -moon suffix to Snowfur instead. not only is Snowmoon a good name, but Snowmoon and Blueflower obviously make Moonflower together. both sisters come to this conclusion, and it takes a toll of both of their mental health, Blueflower moreso than Snowmoon. their names are part of a legacy, a melancholy, and so are they as beings, and they don't even realize it. they realize their mother's name within theirs, and they try to live up to it. Snowfur wasn't a saint in the books, and Snowmoon won't be either. yet again, this deserves a post of its own. i should make a list OH YEAH BEFORE I FORGET, some characters will be getting an appearance change because i decided to make the trees semi-genetically accurate. clearly i hate myself

woah this looks cool :o a few questions: 1: is your rewrite political? 2: are there villains who get redeemed? 3: is curlfeather and splashtail evil? 4: how do you feel about other arcs and will you also rewrite them or just ASC? 5: are you still reworking family trees? (i wish you luck if you are)
my first ask! anyway: "Is your rewrite political?" nah. TcitC is not CENTERED around politics, but it does include them, sometimes more prominent in some arcs than others. politics in general is a touchy subject for me. i hate them. WC as a series is political, but my AU is telling a story for the sake of telling a story. political elements are there to push the story forward. i also have other rewrites for other fandoms that are more politic-centered, so WC is just me taking a break ig "Are there villains who get redeemed?" yeah. i haven't decided who exactly, but be rest assured that some "villains" do get redeemed! i'm thinking Star Flower from DOTC will be one of these redeemed villains because of a post I made a while back. it's probably outdated though. DOTC lives by different standards from modern Clans, so what counts as Star Flower getting redeemed there might not work the same way as in modern clans. "Is Curlfeather and Splashtail evil?" no, but they might be in the eyes of RiverClan (mainly Splashtail, Curlfeather went under the radar). not to be poetic, but evil is simultaneously a complex thing and not. a person (or cat in this case) is actions and ideals personified, but we also have the power of thought and perception. sociopaths aren't inherently evil, but stigma is a perception. what one might consider far another doesn't, and that's kind of what RC is going to be going through in AU-ASC. "How do you feel about other arcs and will you also rewrite them or just ASC?" if i had to rate arcs from favorite to worst, the ranking would probably be, TBC -> ASC -> TBP -> TNP -> PoT -> AVOS -> OotS -> DOTC -> CS (counting it lol) this ranking is extremely arbitrary btw. this flips like a dime depending on the day and how much I've reread them. so yeah take this with a grain of salt ig, i analyze arcs as a whole but I'm much more interested in individual books yeah, I'll get around to coming up with concepts for the other arcs. I'm currently focused on ASC bc I've always worked based on what I'm most interested in at that moment. currently it just happens to be ASC since it finished up. i've talked a bit about what I've thought of for other characters in other arcs, like Leopardstar and Mudfur, minor characters, Fernshade, Fallowtail and Reedfeather, etc. i do need to talk about other characters though so i don't blame you for thinking i was doing only ASC lmao "Are you still reworking family trees?" yeah. a lot of family aren't entirely the same. Stonestream will most likely be the son of Heavybelly and Dawnbright like it was originally intended. Emberdawn (the sister of Mosspelt) might have her children gutted. Floatshimmer is DEFINITELY having her children gutted. They are most likely dying or going to a different family, or just being repurposed altogether. a lot of kits in CS are probably going to different families because they are rather too young or I just didn't like it (needleclaw). if i'm not explicitly stating that the parents are going to change, then other parents in that arc will probably keep their kids. despite my ranting in the past, I'm not entirely against the baby boom. i just feel like the Erins will drop the ball, per usual. i've considered making cats just be outsiders to solve the problem, but that's boring. but without a doubt some cats have outsider blood. some Clans will be more xenophobic than others (TC and RC are more strongly against outsiders), and to explain the outsider blood, I'm thinking during periods of leadership leisure that some cats who were more willing to skirt around the code saw their chances and took it. some cats also have multiple fathers. this post is DEFINITELY outdated but yeah, i've always been receptive to this idea (i'm also open to non-serious ideas)
I've been thinking that since the ghost of Curlfeather visits Splashtail when he's asleep, the ghost of Curlfeather does the same here. BUT, since Splashface can see ghosts regardless of whether he's asleep or not, it's a calculated choice to only visit him when he's asleep so he WON'T sleep. She wants to see Splashface crash and burn after he killed her. Sleep deprivation from the dead, if you will. She knows he's TERRIFIED of her.
It, along with a whole lot of other shit, contributes to an ultimately bloody leadership from Splashface.
okay so I actually got a lil curious and using Star allegiances, marked who was related to who. excluding Berryheart, Hollowspring, and Sparrowtail because they're ShadowClan, 9 cats are related to Graymist through Mallownose or Sneezecloud (11 are related to Graymist if you count her sons) 6 cats are related to Icewing through Petalfur Minnowtail is related to Mosspelt 4 cats are related to a different tree besides Gray or Ice and 3 cats are completely fresh blood with no trees whatsoever (Duskfur started her tree so I'm counting her). important cats are marked in different shades idk (like Mallow and Sneeze being a lighter brown)
Curlfeather canonically groomed Splashtail, whether some fans want to admit this or not (looking at a redditor i got into an argument with). I did an analysis on this in the past, but TLDR; Splashtail became more radicalized than Curlfeather as a result of her twisting his "ambition" (fuck you Erins) so, in the AU: Curlfeather swoops in. Trying to make sense of the canon timeline here; Splashtail and Fognose were born sometime before Lost Stars, while Curlfeather gives birth to Frostdawn, Mistpool, and Graysky in The Silent Thaw. So Curlfeather would've been in the nursery with Havenpelt while Splash and Fog were kits. OKAY SO In the AU, Curlfeather notices that Splashkit is… strange. It's not on purpose. She wasn't actively observing this child; she could care less about Havencloud's kits. But she's going to be a mother for the first time, and she's nervous because Jayclaw actually dies BEFORE Curlfeather's kits are born, not while they're young like canon. She's going to be a single mother, and Havencloud has promised to help her since, yk, at least Havencloud has Sneezemuzzle. Both of Curlfeather's relatives, her brother Podspring (canonically Podlight) and her mother Duskfur (name will most likely change), don't like children in this AU. Duskfur has offered to babysit after Curlfeather begged, and Podspring told Curlfeather to go to hell. She's alone in the nursery, but she can get some tips from witnessing Havencloud with her kits. When they are born, she notices that the dark gray tom is just a tabby. Nothing unusual, but as he grows older, he suddenly has a white face marking. How odd. And suddenly he's staring into nothingness, and he doesn't like being around the Clan, and from snippets she can hear from the nursery, they think he's odd. Curlfeather doesn't have any major interaction with Splashkit. She doesn't step in when Sneezemuzzle and Havencloud neglect him and Fogkit. She's too focused on her own kits. BUT the major interaction comes from before Softripple's death. Frostkit, Mistkit, and Graykit are born now, and she's doing quite well, but she often takes breaks because Frostkit has her father's eyes, Mistkit has her father's gentleness, and Graykit has her father's determination. It gets to be a bit much sometimes, along with being a first-time mother and whatnot. Nursing feels weird, yada yada. And now she's alone, because Fogkit and Splashkit have become apprentices, and Havencloud doesn't have to be in the nursery. So she takes a break, leaving her kits in the care of Turtlestalk (canonically Mosspelt). She overhears Splashpaw admitting to Softripple that he can see ghosts. Softripple, as I said in a different post, didn't fully buy into it. But Curlfeather believes it enough to keep an eye on the kid. Still, she doesn't approach him. Until after Softripple's death, and Mistystar bending to the impostor. Who does that? Not a RiverClanner. Now, in the AU, Curlfeather and Podspring are actually born ROGUES because Duskfur was a rogue. They have no father because Duskfur fucking murdered him but yeah, they were born rogues. Dusk brought little Curl and Pod to RiverClan when the two were apprentice-aged. BUT ANYWAY yeah, Curl was resistant at first, but she eventually integrated into Clan life and was named Curlpaw and then obviously Curlfeather. Her name MIGHT change to Lightfeather, but for now it's Curlfeather. So back on topic, Curlfeather keeps an eye on Splashpaw, and sometime after Softripple dies, she notices that Splashpaw often pulls away from Minnowtail, wanting to be on his own. So, she approaches him while he's on a lonesome brooding moment.
Splashpaw doesn't want to talk at first, but Curlfeather doesn't really care about what he wants.
She asks if he can really see ghosts. He says yes. After some idle conversation, Curlfeather asks "Do you ever see StarClan ghosts?"
This causes Splashpaw to freeze. He never thought about this, ever. But now that he's thinking about it… "Well, no, but they'll see me eventually."
"Why eventually? Why not now? Aren't cats who can see ghosts special? Why do you think medicine cats exist?"
Splashpaw has nothing to say to these questions. They're ripping him apart, picking at his worst insecurities. And Curlfeather has him where she wants him. His reaction basically confirms that yes, he CAN see ghosts, but it'll be their little secret once Curlfeather really digs her claws into him.
And this also assists with her plan to become the leader of RiverClan. Curlfeather doesn't want to become leader because of malice, she genuinely thinks Mistystar is a terrible leader who makes awful and sentimental decisions that ultimately affect her Clan. Why did she apparently stay with Blackclaw for so long when he treated her like utter shit? She's weak and affected. Curlfeather loved Jayclaw to StarClan and back, and the stars knows she misses him everyday, but she'd never let memories affect her.
Curlfeather could never kill Mistystar. She'd have to get through all of her lives, firstly.
But Reedwhisker, he's doable. He's the deputy, and Mistystar's son, but all of her other children died anyway. Stonefur died. Bluestar died. It's fine. Curlstar sounds like a cool name anyway.
But still, Curlfeather doesn't want to dirty her paws directly, she still has kits to raise. But this kid, this kid who looks into hell could, with a little shove. Curlfeather spends more time with Splashpaw, planting these seeds into his head, promising that he'll be deputy when she becomes leader. Minnowtail doesn't question this. She tried to bond with Splashpaw so many times but couldn't, maybe Curlfeather could. It'd help him process his grief for Softripple, making new friends and whatnot.
Curlfeather is fully committed to her plan at this point with Minnowtail's "permission." She has Splashpaw, and she has her kits, perfectly moldable.
And by the time of the first book in ASC, River: Frostpaw is a medicine cat apprentice, Graypaw is a considerable enforcer, Mistpaw is shaping up to be a lovely warrior, and Reedwhisker is dead without her laying a single paw on him.
dude stonestream (he's the one on the left) could've been named after stonefur if he had been born a little later loudbelly (he was planned to be stonestream's father) participated in tigerclan as well iirc imagine if loudbelly named stonestream after stonefur due to guilt for watching him get executed?? dude imagine if that was controversial like "i'll name my son after stonefur to begin to make up for my mistakes" "you just want honor because your son looks like stonefur!" idk i'm tired but this was an idea i had i'll probably revisit this later

this is really funny seeing this poll after Star the Erins are really predictable in dropping the ball last minute
Thanks for the camaraderie. 😊 If you're interested, I'm writing a series that primarily features Berryheart right now with a friend of mine. And as to Sol and Sleekwhisker, they still exist in my series. 😊
