Arc 1 and after leader and deputy order in ThunderClan! This may have revisions. Do note that some events may be shuffled(Such as all of long shadows besides Ashfur’s death being swapped with Eclipse in order and Hollyleaves doesn’t immediately flee). It isn’t uncommon in this for leaders or deputies to step down even if just momentarily, given the strain it puts on a cat. The Broken Code is mostly scrapped since no Bramblestar, sorry.

Bluestar(canon time as leader) Deputies: Canon

Firestar(The Darkest Hour-Long Shadows. Burnt like a fucking pizza) Deputies: Longtail(The Darkest Hour-Midnight. Steps down after the rabbit induced blinding as he had to adjust to being blind, decided against coming back when offered), Thornclaw(Midnight-Starlight. Temporary deputy during Longtail’s recovery, honestly never wanted the job.), Brightheart(Starlight-Long Shadows)

Brightstar(Long Shadows-The Last Hope. Steps down) Deputies: Squirrelflight(Long Shadows-Eclipse. Forced to step down after Three revealed), Hollyleaf(Eclipse-Sunrise. Presumed dead in rockfall), Cinderheart(The Fourth Apprentice-The Forgotten Warrior(which switches with Sign of the Moon). Steps down when Hollyleaf comes back suspecting Hollyleaf would take the role back up. She doesn’t.), Squirrelflight(The Forgotten Warrior-The Last Hope)

Squirrelstar(The Apprentices Quest-Darkness Within. Death or stepping down, yet to decide) Deputies: Briarlight(The Apprentices Quest-River of Fire. Death), Ivypool(River of Fire-Darkness Within)

Ivystar(Darkness Within-Present) Deputies: Blossomfall(Darkness Within-Present)

Master Post.

Basics/goals of the rewrite

So the point of this is to fix some issues I have with the Warriors books, and also have some fun. So here’s a slightly more detailed list! Not exactly in order of importance, it’s just which order it comes to me while eating dinner.

Let’s stop the super creepy age gaps. They’ll either be changed to be a super small age gap or treated as seriously as possible for the absolute horror they are- if not removed completely.

Some timeline issues/characters disappearing or appearing in between books. Heavy step still gets to un-die though.

Deal with the ableism in ThunderClan.(I specify ThunderClan as they’re almost entirely the one guilty clan.)

GIVE THE CLANS DIFFERENT CULTURES ALREADY(like how it’s implied in the first series)

Let’s deal with the xenophobia

Deal with the sexism in Warriors

CHARACTER ARCS(OR FAILED CHARACTER ARCS) FOR ALL

Let the leaders die a lot more often and cycle through

Character. Interaction. Is. Necessary.

Hey, let’s NOT have incest.

Nursery tales stay for longer!

Rules applicable to the rewrite

They’re cats with nigh magic medicine and know how to for the most part avoid dangers that lower the average life span of stray cats so they get an average of 20 years of life, average of 30 if a leader doesn’t loose lives to anything but complications with old age(which won’t happen besides a very few cases)

All cats who believe in StarClan have a basic connection to them, but upon touching noses with the moonstone/moonpool this connection is strengthened to a point of easy communication

All the after lives are normally connected, but StarClan/TDF are weird- as in they’re not on the earth like other after lives. They’re in a different realm of existence, so for this dreams are sometimes re-routed to peer into it. Other dead cats can roam the earth for as long as they want or can ‘pass on’ and forever live in their dreams but as far as everyone else is aware they’ve ceased to exist

Cats get vaccines from 6 weeks old until 4 months old so any former kittypet who’s been around humans at that age before leaving definitely gets the vaccines, and even those who become kittypets later in life then leave get them too. For sake of funnies they don’t need the revaccination

They actually have to note the status of any invading cats/predatory animals/prey to make sure it doesn’t have rabies or anything.

They can make basic tools. They have seemingly human-level intelligence. So they can make a lot of more rudimentary stuff, and working teams can even make stuff like very basic toys. They can probably carve soft wood too. Pretty much if you can make it with your thumb taped down and small knives on your nails they can probably make it.

Each life a leader gets corresponds to a different life they have to deal with, but it’s selected based on which one is more useful in that moment. So if they’re given compassion, patience, justice, and bravery in that order but then die to a fox they go right to bravery being added in and the rest still remain. This does unfortunately cause a lot of extra problems resulting in deaths each life has an overwhelming push. So in this example there could be a flash flood with a warrior in the middle where trying to jump in would spell certain death, the leader would jump in without hesitation.

Reincarnation does not happen.

The cats can just sleep and wake up whenever as long as their duties are done. The only times they are needed to wake up at a certain time are for dawn/dusk patrols, battles, gatherings, and ceremonies.

The time line will be mostly the same

Important things to note/lore changes needed to be known

The Code of the Clan stories are actually going to be canon! Sorta. Since SkyClan was kicked out the leaders came up with new history stories to remove SkyClan and just came up with the Code of the Clans things. They’re commonly used to teach kits the warrior code and why it’s important(most cats who join the clans at apprentice age or older just get the code told to them so it doesn’t hold the same weight. This leads to more setting it aside for what’s right)

StarClan can actually be completely clear with what they’re saying, but they only are told the future by Midnight who isn’t always available and sometimes deems it begs to not get involved so they make up super vague prophecies to try and make it seem like they’re helping. Only a StarClan ‘council’ knows about this and is allowed to speak in dreams. It’s about 5 cats for each clan
