Bluestar’s bloodline and the constant pull of ambition … the way it takes them away from what ought to matter more.. technically a whole lot of this is fanon / personal read for Funsies (relies on Curlfeather and Podlight being Reedwhisker and Duskfur kits) but.

Bluefur giving up her kits to become leader, for the Greater Good, so she can lead the clan. Sure, she was basically forced into it by Starclan and her uncle’s urging, but then.. she could have told Sunstar. By his own words, he shared her doubts about Thistleclaw. And even if it WAS wholly out of her control, she still sets a Precedent .

Stonefur made deputy of Riverclan, yet replaced easily by his sister when he died. Completely interchangeable parts; one gone doesn’t matter, now does it?

Mistystar, desperate to keep a hold on her clan, to lead it toward Starclan again, because how Ever could the clan prosper without them? Mistystar, standing over the body of her son as he bleeds out, forbidding Mothwing to care for him. Because Starclan would Never want her to allow her son to be healed by someone who didn’t believe in them. He needed A Real medicine cat. This was for the good of him And their clan. Begging her ancestors to save him, her son, the only one left, and yet treating him as almost a bargaining chip, a necessary sacrifice. Starclan before him.

Reedwhisker… Mistystar’s son and deputy. A choice the narrative of her novella suggests might not have been entirely without bias. She ‘wanted to believe’ rather than ‘knew’ in any certain measure he was the right choice. Especially as she earlier in the book is described as not having considered a deputy prior… it seems he was the simplest option. Not too much unlike Leopardstar’s naming of Mistyfoot as deputy after Stonefur.

It doesn’t take long after he’s named deputy for his own mother to put his life on the line to prove a point. How would that feel?? Would his own life even have individual value anymore? Mother and son, the last of their Original family left. Tight knit enough for Mistystar to defy any stigma of naming her son as deputy. Duskfur’s kits are young at this time… and if you subscribe to the idea of his being their father, he follows in the pawsteps of his grandmother, giving up being their father to serve his clan, leader and mother. They and Duskfur didn’t matter anymore. Do you think he ever would look Down again, when he could look up at the stars?

Curlfeather.. slighted by Riverclan’s weakness time and time again. Watching her father and grandmother hold all the power over her clan, and continue to do nothing to protect them, turning instead to the stony gazes of their ancestors for guidance. What good did that ever bring her? Their pull took away her father, and it took away her husband. But she could fix it, can’t she? She could save their clan Herself. And all it would take is guiding the paws of her own daughter, telling her to keep her eyes forward and focus on nothing else, doing something Wrong for the sake of the greater good..

do u think tigerclaw ever resented lionheart for encouraging pinestar to tell thunderclan he was leaving. in a society where very few mourn the dead do u think it would've been easier for tigerclaw to assume his father was dead and move on rather than one where he knew his father left the clans to become the thing they're all taught to hate

Warrior Cats book cover templates!

Around a week ago I sat and converted some of the Warrior Cats book covers into templates!

I wanted to redraw the original cover of "Into The Wild" for Warrior Cats 22nd birthday; and while I was making the template for myself I decided to just go ahead and make a lot more variants.

There's 19 templates total- you can read more info about them and individually download the templates over on my toyhouse!

NeedleTail would be an anarchist but the kind that only just want to use the label itself and its aesthetic and probably starts shifting around uncomfortably when acab is brought up

ID in alt and under cut

ID: digital painting of Cinderpelt and Brightpaw from Warriors. They are two cats curled around each other. Brightpaw, a ginger-and-white cat, is badly injured with cobwebs as bandages around her face and other injuries. She is unconscious and lying on her side in a moss nest. Cinderpelt, a gray cat, is curled around her with her tail over Brightpaw's back, looking at her with concern. They are in a shaded den surrounded by autumnal ferns, with a pool of water in the corner, and a strip of bright sunlight illuminating their faces. end ID.

warrior cats is a book series fundamentally dedicated to the moral “constant war and prejudice is ultimately good and better for everyone” and to me it is best to preserve that while changing the coating of the narrative to that of an ironic one, treating all the bullshit clan cats do and their stagnant society a circus of errors that ultimately gestures to the audience “you see? a society built on the idea that war and prejudice is good fucking sucks, war and prejudice is bad” however most people who do rewrites and aus seem convinced they can curtail the idea of warrior cats society being bad by like, deciding it is a moral imperative to draft disabled people into War That Is Good or to bring back a child that was unjustly killed for failing to integrate into the War Is Good society and having them go to Good War or whatever, which is very uninteresting

POV: you've tried to assassinate the Commander (you're not the first)

Too lazy to clean this for now but look! He's offering so politely 😌 He'll return it tenderly through your skull!
