When Thunder Crashes

TAGS: (More tags will be updated as the story progresses)

#update- comic page update

#dev log- usually worldbuilding, but it's just my process of thinking about a lot of different things.

#newtask- Newtclan related ask (asks are always open for any character, or even for myself about the comic! I encourage them, but I cannot guarantee I will always answer them)

#wtcask- asks that have to do with the WTC world in general!

#newtclan- anything Newtclan related!

#lore- lore about the clan, or the WTC world/culture!

#characterlore- this one speaks for itself

#reference- character reference sheets!

#writing- posts that are just writing

#others art- this speaks for itself

#not wtc- anything not related to wtc

#my fic- essentially the same tag as writing, but this is to differentiate if it's my writing or someone else's!

CWs- content warning for Canon typical warrior cats (violence, blood, death, kit death, war, etc), arguing, implied abuse, cursing, depression, grief, gore/blood, heavy gore, horror, and murder. Be aware of that when reading.

Most important cws are: cw: arguing, cw: aggressive animal, cw: gore, and cw: aggressive dog

Ask/Fanart policy: I love asks!! I absolutely encourage them!! about the characters, to me as the writer, and especially about the world in general!!! The same goes for fanart. And if you do make fanart and I don't see it, don't be afraid to DM me with the post! I never wanna miss anybodies art 🌟

Notes from the OP-

First and most important, this world does not behave like a normal warrior cats world. The spiritual system of this world is almost completely re-done, and it will be explained through lore posts or through the comic. There is also different vocabulary too. The most important new terms being the Helil and the Exiled. these are similar to Starclan and the Dark Forest, but definitely tweaked.

Second, expect to see the other clans in the area! I love my world and I want to show off every bit of it.

Third, there will be lore drops about the world in writing outside of the comic! this can be seen in wtc lore, or my dev logs!

About the author

As for their thoughts on gender, they think its just a spectrum of different experiences! Runs with the mentality of "whatever makes you the most comfortable. Disregard the thought of boxes." They personally didn't sit right with the thought being a tom or a molly, and so they comfortably opted for something different.

They also have a very casual attitude about it. If someone asked them if they were a tom/molly, they would just say "neither" and leave the conversation at that. Make the listener pick it up through context clues lmao

Tbh, an interesting thing that impacted their gender identity a lot (and gave them a lot of dysphoria) was adopting Apple/Orchard. First of all they never really wanted kids, especially this early in their life. They associate it as a very feminine role, mostly because they only had feminine examples of parenting. By no means is this a bad thing, but they just don't feel like it fits them. This was part of the reason as to why they had such a hard time when they first adopted the two. But as the star siblings grew up--while that dysphoria never really went away--it got overshadowed by their feeling of responsibility (and eventually, deep love for the two)
