Goobiefeather coughcough ahem sorry Goosefeather

Design notes:

The wiki says he’s gray, but his sprite is more blue, so I made him lavender because I wanted to.

He’s also…. Something of a colorpoint. Ticked tabby colorpoint? If that exists?? He’s spotty

TOOFS!!! He’s got one hell of an underbite and one small little longer-than-average upper tooth that pokes out; it makes it a bit difficult for him to eat properly and speak, but after growing up with it, he’s learned to adjust fairly well. He would have been a wonderful aid in helping Crooked learn how to eat again after his unfortunate and totally mysterious accident that he had nothing to do with-

He’s not so much fluffy as he is just kind of.. raggedy. His fur is very messy, and matted, and Thick.

I’m not satisfied with his spots; I might redraw him to make them more solidly speckled, less sparse.

LGBT+ headcanon: ftm transman (he/him) and a RAGING, chaotic bisexual.

[Image ID: A digital drawing of a left-facing, sitting hunched Goosefeather against a translucent background. He is a small, thickset, raggedy, messy-furred, somewhat spiky-furred gray-blue cat with rough, darker, ticked tabby point markings at his face, legs, and along his back; his mane and belly are pale gray, alongside the scruffy fur at his chin; his lower canines protrude from his mouth, as does one small, upper snaggletooth; his tail is fluffy and dark, and there are black goose feathers scattered throughout his fur. His left eye is light blue, and his right eye is yellow. His entire image is outlined in white. Along the curve of his back is his color palette: three shades of dark gray [76787D, 57595E, 3E4044], the salmon color of his nose and inner-ears [C17D6C], the yellow of his protruding teeth [FEF8DF], the two sets of five contrasting yellow-and-blue of his eyes [(yellow] FBE7C7, F7CE86, C7A03C, BF882F, FCEC4F] + [(blue) CBD9F8, A5B2DB, 7D9BF4, 5C6FB1, 75BBF9], and the dark gray of his decorative feathers [2C2C2C, 141414]. Below his paws is the word “GOOSEFEATHER” written in white, all-caps. Across the curve of his tail is the stylized artist signature of “spottyissleepwalking” written in faded lavender. /. End ID.]

Goosefeather Re-Redesign!

I like his shapes a lot more, they fit for his character more and the design is both less crowded and better in general. This is not canon Goosefeather and is purely for my own brainrot and changed version of the series. Now onto the Design Notes:

-he is smol, tiny cat and has a rather long tail though the middle was broken in a incident making it constantly drag on the ground. In this same incident his left eye was scarred close

-his chest has a large star with two dots near the top, these in my head represent his two kits and showed up when he had them.

-when he was a kitten he was silver and slowly has gotten darker and less spotted. As a kit he was super speckled!

-the tufts on the back of his paws are meant to look like wings, a freedoms he wishes he could have for himself but instead he is bound by destiny’s chain

-trans masc he/him and bisexual, father of Brindlekit and Frostkit

(ID- Goose is very messy and ragged looking with a round but tufty frame, stocky legs, and a few strange features. His ears are tufted and similar to bird wings, a star tuft of fur on his nose and hair hanging over his left eye which is scarred closed. Two fangs poke from his bottom lip and his right eye is sky blue with a worried expression. He has a very fluffy white mane with a black diamond on his chest and two darker gray spots. On his back is his main stripe of dark gray fur and a smaller black stripe nearer to the shoulder, several spots like leaves or droplets across his back, tail, legs, and shoulder. His paws are black with white toes and darker gray over them in a pointy arch. His belly is white with two spots off it. Down his tail are two bands of black fur and one band of his gray fur, spots coming off the black sections which thin out to his tail which is similar to a ink pen. He is facing the left with his head tilted to the camera and eye looking to the right, his tail between his legs and dropped onto the “ground”. The faint signature reading “Nightly Ruse” is on his rump and smaller text writes “Goosefeather” on his tail tip. End ID)

You wind up in hell. You are confused at first until you see a row of people in front of you, crying profusely. You weren’t sent to hell to be punished, you were sent as the punishment.

yellowfang and bluestar with the "its okay... i am a 'lesbo'"

normally I would have answered this w a keyboard smash but I felt like making phone art 4 some reason?? Idk why Bluestar looks like that either sorree

Anyways blueyellow rights so true!! Gay old ppl,,,

(Also I replaced the word “lesb* w lesbian bc i remember seeing somewhere that it was a slur or like derogatory in history, I think it’s been reclaimed by the community like the word queer has, but idk if I can say it, so I just replaced it to be safe JWJWJ I’m sure u can use it Idk abt me tho)

“AITA? I (24m) have a twin sister (24f) that I am not close with, She’s been dating one of the older guys in our clan (30m) who, obviously, does not care about her well-being at all. I am the medicine cat for our clan and now shes purposely dodging any sort of interaction with me—knowing I have problems with her boyfriend. When I talked to my leader and apprentice about her behavior, they said that my sister was pregnant with her boyfriend’s kids and told them first, while also purposely steering away from me so I wouldn’t ‘cause any problems’, I am now heartbroken and I had confronted my sister about this. I stated that her choice in men was bullshit and that I shouldn’t be pushed away from my incoming nieces or nephews because her man has a problem with me, the guy one point has deliberately tried to kill me, for Starclan’s sake! So now, I’m planning on murdering her boyfriend, I hate him, he hates me and so far he’s done nothing but be a piece of shit boyfriend and a father, the clan is furious with me because i ‘sent’ my sister to her death when I detected a prophecy in one of my niece’s voles, but honestly I don’t feel obligated that it’s my fault because her boyfriend was too busy helping some other chick and not my sister. So now I wanna kill him for being a deadbeat and a cheater, AITA??”

leafpool’s starclan trial was literally cancel culture at its finest smh. the haters couldn’t stand to see her winning so they dug up her old receipts and took them out of context to make her look bad. and really, what is starclan if not the warriors version of twitter dot com? 🤔

[goosefeathercore]

[goosefeathercore]

Holy poopoo ur art, if ur still taking reqs mayb Goosefeathr?

Have a Goosefeathr, Goobiestar

I didn't really have a design for him before this. I based him on a Pallas' cat.

[goosefeathercore]

he’s just pretending to be annoyed dw

[goosefeathercore]

saw a post about sisters in wc who should have gotten their brothers’ arcs and i wanna add to that by saying:

MOTHWING SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE ONE TO KILL HAWKFROST

it would have been 100x more impactful if it had been her. she was so much closer to him than bramble was, they have so much more sibling lore than ‘ooh we both hang out with our evil dad in cat hell’. it would have been a way more well-rounded and satisfying arc because the buildup was already in place. mothwing is hawkfrost’s first victim, NOT brambleclaw. it would have affected her emotionally way deeper than it affected bramble because she’s already lost tadpole and sasha, hawkfrost was all she had left. at one point hawkfrost and mothwing deeply depended on each other, bramble never had that kind of connection with him. we’re supposed to feel terrible for bramble because of the betrayal he faced, but it pales in comparison to the betrayal mothwing had already faced from hawkfrost. hawkfrost being evil doesn’t even come as much of a surprise from bramble’s perspective because hawkfrost has been that way for basically as long as brambleclaw knew him. meanwhile, mothwing’s novella is basically the only place we get to see the good hawkfrost once had in him.

plus, if the whole thing happened in riverclan, it would be a way better conclusion to hawkfrost’s arc of dangerous ambition in riverclan, rather than dying for a completely unrelated setup and ending the arc so anticlimactically incomplete. hawkfrost spent his life doing all this big brained mastermind shit to make himself leader of riverclan, only to throw that away in favor of giving a handout to his bro in thunderclan. if the writers truly want us to believe that hawkfrost is a calculated man with a mission, then they should show us how he intended to finally seize that power! he is literally the definition of wasted potential and it makes no sense for his character, who is portrayed as rather selfish, to ultimately put his efforts towards a cat other than himself. hawkfrost was so god damn close to being deputy with all of the work he put in, why not make him deputy and mirror the prophecies begin? think of it as hawkfrost being tigerclawstar in the position of the deputy at last, and mothwing being a figure like ravenpaw, who is the only one who knows of the deputy’s evils and has to try and expose or stop them. it should have been leopardstar that hawkfrost targeted, not firestar. the writers went through all the trouble of building up hawkfrost’s attempts to become leader of riverclan, so his assassination attempt should’ve been against leopardstar and should’ve taken place actually in riverclan.

in terms of a compelling protagonist set up to stop hawkfrost, mothwing has 10x the motive that brambleclaw did. bramble was indecisive af about it and had no conviction, him killing hawkfrost was more of a last minute decision that came out of nowhere. narratively it sucked, there was no turning point or gradual realization, it was just ‘oh shit apparently hawkfrost is evil now’. except it wasn’t even a twist at all, brambleclaw was literally present during all the times hawkfrost and their evil dad trained together, hawkfrost regularly discussed his ambitions with bramble. seeing things from bramble’s pov gives us literally no insight on hawkfrost’s change in character because brambleclaw never witnessed hawkfrost’s character development. meanwhile, mothwing’s entire novella details the slow, agonizing process of watching her brother grow colder and more unrecognizable every day. mothwing’s perspective would’ve given us a truly tragic hero with a complex connection to hawkfrost, and it would’ve given us a character who genuinely has a reason to hate hawkfrost but mourn him all the same. and both of those emotions are equally powerful, but bramble has neither of them. the only qualm brambleclaw has with hawkfrost is that he tried to kill firestar. on the other hand, hawkfrost ruined mothwing’s entire life and forced her into a life of shame, forever staining her paws with guilt for a crime he committed. she has an established, powerful narrative reason to kill hawkfrost and be his enemy. mothwing is truly the firestar to hawkfrost’s tigerclawstar, not brambleclaw.

on the topic of mourning, brambleclaw hardly did it at all because he barely freaking knew hawkfrost, hawkfrost’s death had literally no long term effect on bramble. hawkfrost was just a background character in brambleclaw’s life, so reading from his pov makes it seem like hawkfrost hardly mattered at all. but hawkfrost did matter a lot and served as a major character in riverclan, we just don’t get to see that because his death is told from brambleclaw’s thunderclan pov. it’s such a disservice to hawkfrost’s character to tell his death from the perspective of anyone other than mothwing. because, while mothwing may have been the character with the most reason to hate hawkfrost, she was also the character with the most reason to mourn him. hawk and moth watched their sibling drown as kits, then they were left behind in riverclan by their mother. hawkfrost is the only loved one mothwing has left, and she even SAYS “we only have each other now”. even when he destroys her life, mothwing still can’t bring herself to fully turn her back on him, because a part of her will always love the cat her brother used to be. she can’t just forget about him like bramble does. there is literally not a single character who has a more meaningful connection to hawkfrost than mothwing does, which is why she’s the only cat whose pov can fully do justice to his death. if the writers want hawkfrost to actually mean something, then mothwing is the cat who needs to tell his story.

i will admit, the whole ‘stake to the throat’ death is cool. it’s a brutal death that gives you shivers and it ties together the image pretty well, but it’s also completely random and spontaneous. sometimes, wildcard deaths are cool and keep the story interesting, and this death would be a cool one to give to another cat, but i personally find it to be somewhat of a bad fit for hawkfrost specifically. i say this because hawkfrost was very much a character centered around meticulous plotting, and pretty much everything he does tends to tie in to an overarching plan. from a writing perspective, he’s a character about the payoff of the effort put into setting up plot points. he’s meant to make you go ‘remember when he did this? well now it’s finally relevant!’ and so i simply think that giving him an out-of-nowhere death doesn’t do him justice. there’s no buildup, relevance or imagery to the stake except for the exact moment when it happens, and it feels just as unsatisfying as the fact that it was brambleclaw doing it. however, if mothwing had been the one to kill him in self defense and had she done so in riverclan, we could’ve had a truly awesome full-circle death. tadpole drowning is the big, dramatic backstory piece of hawk and moth, it even indirectly leads to mothwing wanting to be a medicine cat in order to save cats who may die that way. so, what better way to kill hawkfrost than to have him drown, specifically at the hands of mothwing? imagine mothwing struggling with him in the water, trying to grapple him away from leopardstar, only to realize hawkfrost has stopped moving and she has just doomed him to the same fate that once scarred them all those moons ago. imagine mothwing, a cat who dedicated her life to saving cats from this very fate, realizing that she has just killed her only remaining family, the one who technically gave her this job to begin with? genuinely, what could possibly be a better end to hawkfrost’s life than that?

ONESTAR’S CONFESSION

[goosefeathercore]

Goosefeather! I looooove how this design came out!! I really like drawing absolutely scrunkly cats

[Image ID: A digital drawing of Goosefeather from Warrior Cats. He is crouched low to the ground and he is looking upward with a worried/scared expression. He is a black tabby tom with unkempt long fur and a flat Persian cat like face with an under-bite. He has a teal-grey coat with dark teal-grey almost black classic tabby stripes. He has white lining his eyes, on his muzzle, neck, and feet. He has one yellow eye and one blue eye, pink inner ears and nose, scraggly white whiskers, and leaves, flowers, sticks and feathers littered throughout his fur./End ID]

I love when people give Goosefeather and Mosskit a bond, im doing that, this is them… irl…

Definitely after that badger ride Goosefeather’s back & legs became sore and complained to featherwhisker.

They did not appreciate goosefeather letting Mosskit into their storage to grab him painkillers.
