Hollyleaf design! She’s definitely one of my favourites ever! Really wish they hadn’t killed her off like as soon as she came back though.

Hey so you know how children’s games are made to teach kids things like coordination, teamwork, counting, running, etc etc? Physical, social, and mental skills?

And taking that into account, isn’t it REALLY WEIRD that kits and apprentices don’t often play games besides wrestling or playing with moss balls? When they live in a society where they’re expected and encouraged to be physically active, work together as a unit, and come up with battle strategies? Also um, isn’t it weird that kits just… know how to talk?

ANYWAYS this is a version of Mr Wolf I came up with, for kitty cats! Instead of calling out a clock time (because they don’t have those…), the “wolf” calls out a time of day, or a season.

For younger kits, still learning to talk, and to keep the counting simpler, they’ll count the syllables of the time/season, and take a step for each one. (Ex: Newleaf -> NEW-LEAF, two syllables -> take two steps)

For older kits, and apprentices, they would count the letters, and take a step for each one. (Ex: Sunhigh -> S-U-N-H-I-G-H, seven letters -> take seven steps)

This is a game intended for slightly older kits, as to teach them all the times of day (aka, PATROL and CLAN GUARD times!) and seasons, and to encourage older kits/apprentices to listen for when a cat is close…

I have more things to say about this, and lots of other potential game ideas, but yeah!

(Pssst, Lionpaw’s design is inspired by this Lionblaze!! By @kingpinparrot !!! His art is super awesome go look at it!!!!!)

Found this as a restore as I opened CSP to finish my darn art school final project. So I decided I'd let myself finish it before I continued the more important thing LMAO (don't do that please don't be like me)

A Vision Of Shadows: The Raging Storm, page 104.

do you ever think about that stupid starclan life thing that only gets brought up like twice in the book series where when a leader loses a life some of their soul just gets kinda...shaved off to go join starclan, I have so many questions about this like how and what and why

I'm pretty sure it comes up like once in the first arc when firestar first dies and then jayfeather sees firestars not ghost on a starclan trip once in fading echoes, and I don't know if it's ever been said again, but like look at this quote, it's been driving me bonkers for over a decade on what is going ON with this system. I don't even fully know if it appears outside of those two books and I think like maybe secrets of the clans, maybe

Like I can only assume since it's displayed as very pale and barely more then mist they didn't graft like, nine souls onto firestar, so it has to be his original soul right? Just with bits shaved off? It's eldritch as hell and confuses the fuck out of me on how it works and yet yellowfang is so casual all

Another familiar pelt caught his eye. Frighteningly familiar. Blazing ginger fur, large pricked ears, emerald gaze—the slender tom weaved through the bushes ahead. He seemed paler than the other cats, almost invisible. And yet he was there. “Firestar?” Jayfeather breathed. “Not quite,” Yellowfang mewed gently. “Five of his lives are here, but he won’t be able to hear or speak until his ninth life has joined us.” Jayfeather watched the ghostly cat disappear behind an oak. Could Firestar feel his lives ebbing away? No. He shook off the thought. How could he stay such a strong leader if he did?

like...what??? No one ever talks about this, probably because of how little it ever comes into play, but HUH?? why did they bring it back after the first arc to do nothing with it beyond scare the pelt off of jayfeather???? It's so eldritch! I have questions!

What about evil leaders?? Was there just a misty brokenstar wandering the dark forest or do they get to stay in starclan until the final life because it's just plain irresponsible to let a basically unresponsive and on autopilot cat into hell?

What happens if you kill this like, soul slice??? Does it have an impact on the living cat? Does literally losing bits of your soul have an impact on the living cat? Like if eight of your nine lives are in Starclan that's gotta be like, really weird right??? If they do start out in the dark forest for evil what if they stopped doing evil? Do they remember anything?

Are they aware at all? Will the dead leader gain these starclan memories on death? Why can't they hear, I can kind of understand speak but why can they do everything else but hear? Does the soul splice knowing whats happening back in the clans, because like, the soul splice doesn't react at all to yellowfang or jayfeather so does the soul splice even have memories? Can they fight back? Do they try and find other ways to communicate? its kinda really fucked up!

I know no one talks about it because its both stupid and never relevant but I can't be the only one just like, fixated on this detail right? Like what are you talking about Why does a piece of their soul need to leave with each life, you're just healing the wounds or disease, why can't they just...keep it? Until the final death?

Though incredibly funny au potential for where due to how the lives supposedly work ashfur only possesses 1/9th of bramblestar because he's lame and hasn't died yet before this so there's only a small bit of soul room

I just need to know I'm not alone in thinking that this is like, horrifically eldritch right? potentially even somewhat i have no mouth and i must scream for the version of them in starclan especially if evil leaders do end up in the dark forest from the very start???
