RippleClan: Moon 91 (Aftermath Edition)

When Weevilsight won't leave the medicine den, her sisters force her on a walk.

(Wolfgaze: 26, female, codekeeper, thoughtful, connection to StarClan, great speaker)

Washington provides a gentle and wise ear to Halibutdusk. He listens to Halibutdusk's grief and draws on his own recent losses to provide what little comfort he can.

Vervaincough takes her grief and frustration out on Slushtrail.

[Image ID: There are two images that include Vervaincough and Slushtrail in the snow. In the first, Vervaincough yells at Slushtrail with tears falling down her cheeks, angry and hurt while Slushtrail listens like a good mediator. In the next, Slushtrail grooms Vervaincough's head and wraps her paws around her while Vervaincough leans in, continuing to cry. Art by @salt-clangen.]

(Vervaincough: 26, female, codekeeper, insecure, understands nature, good mediator)

(Slushtrail: 27, female, mediator, wise, clever, talented weaver)

Rattlepelt and Wildclaw share a nest in the nursery for the night.

[Image ID: A two-page comic showing Rattlepelt and Wildclaw in the nursery at night, curled around Midnightkit and Valleykit. The camp is tinted purple, but Rattlepelt and Wildclaw's eyes are bright. Rattlepelt wears her fox pelt with lavender woven into the fur and stuffed in the eye sockets. The pair have the following conversation, which ends in Wildclaw pulling Rattlepelt into the nest and the pair curling around their sons:

W: "Rattlepelt?"

W: "The kittens will get cold with just me in the nest, dear, come in."

R: "I... shouldn't."

W: "What's wrong now?"

R: "You know what it is..."

R: "Mousesong, then Carnationspeckle's kidnapping, then I get possessed and it leads to the death of a kit. And me and Mousesong are just like our little ones, all of them orphaned, and now..."

R: "It's me , isn't it? Why Trumpetspore's gone? I'm- I must be cursed, and now what will happen to the kittens? or my moms? Or you-"

-she gets yoinked-

W: "first off."

W: "my mate is not cursed. I'd know, having had an omen cat as kin."

R: "ough! What in Starclan's-"

W: "and second, I can protect myself."

W: "I can protect them, and I can protect you."

W: "But right now, they need their mama to also warm them up, no matter what circumstances led them to our care."

(Midnightkit: 0, male, kit, polite)

(Valleykit: 0, male, kit, quiet)

Surprise, everyone! I've been working with a few of my most vocal fans for a special moon update featuring proper art of your beloved cats! I am so grateful to everyone who agreed to draw a scene, especially since they had to keep some events secret for a while. I adore each piece. The individuality of each style is powerful and adds so much life to this. I promise happier moments ahead, even with the normal chaos of the Clans!

Are Scorchstar’s wounds a reference to Sunwish and their death?

They talk about making a mistake and then their punishment, in reference to their wounds. I can only assume that they bearded the wounds they inflicted onto Sunwish.

Scorchstar's wounds are in reference to the way she died! Sunwish was killed rather quickly (she didn't have any battle training, so she didn't stand much of a chance), probably only a few wounds, but Scorchstar was quite literally Ripped Apart by dogs. She did, however, get killed by dogs Because of what she did to Sunwish

Oh my gosh I nearly missed this! I love it! You nailed the family tree, and I’m so glad you remembered Mousesong. I’ll consider family trees part of “Slay Queen” since they have a lot of references.

I suppose this counts as art yes? A part of Rippleclan’s family tree.

[rippleclan]

Based on Stormkit's Picrew background.... I'm not expecting good things.

Alright I know with that picrew a lot of the young deaths have that starry background, but I’ll say this now; they don’t always have meanings. Now some I picked for good reasons, but others just look good with the design.

Pretty kitties

Another part of Rippleclan’s Familytree. I suppose these are my own headcannons of their designs.

I love how spiky the Esther family is.

If you told me James found a newborn kit and snuck it into Weedfoot’s nest, I would believe you- AND THEIR NAME IS COBALT- I know that’s a metal but isn’t that also like- blue?

Guys is James colorblind?

[rippleclan]

Mousesong was a codekeeper, not a historian (and I think you added Ripplefern to the living when you wanted Lavendertwist) but I just… have bad luck with that role.

Behind the scenes of Rippleclan Familytrees. . . SO MANY HISTORIANS DIED? They’re cursed with the knowledge of history.

[rippleclan]

We actually do see Valleybrook in Moon 20! His only living appearance, but he is there!

Cinderella gets a design because we saw her sprite. If we ever get designs for others like, Sunspike, Valleybrook, or Rebeca then I’ll add them. Same with mates, if they have kits adopted or not they will be added!
