ashfur for the warrior kitty doodle + thoughts

i think he’s a really fun and interesting + unique villain by warrior cats standards! i liked that his actions were rightfully painted as in the wrong (for the most part) which is more than you can expect for warrior cats and abusive toms. hes also just really pathetic and i like a pathetic sopping wet character if youve followed me even for a little while i think thats obvious. so yeah! i like him.

AITA For not taking in my ex-best friend?

So I (mid-20s M) was recently approached by my ex-best friend, V (also mid-20s M), where he asked me for a place to stay after his now ex-girlfriend kicked him out (for reasons unknown to me). We've known each other since we were kids, but we ended up cutting each other off. For context, I'm gay and V's sense of humor makes me extremely uncomfortable. He says he isn't actually homophobic and that they're just jokes, and he also tells me that I take things too seriously. I think he took it as a huge betrayal to our friendship, and now he "jokingly" threatens to out me to our mutual friends. I could never get over it, and when he asked me for help, I snapped at him and told him that he shouldn't expect such a huge favor from me. He has nowhere to go now, and I have no idea if he'll survive on his own.

Herb Guide to HRT for Warrior Cats

Have a warrior OC you would like to show being on hormone replacement medication? I’ve gone through herbs historically associated with femininity/masculinity, as well as those with effects on sex hormones, that a wild cat could hypothetically find and use.

Of course, this would still require a bit of a leap as there’s no herb in nature that can replace our friend Spironolactone… but if you’d like some herbs with a grain of truth or history to them that wouldn’t poison a semi-realistic cat? Here you go!

(DO NOT USE THESE HERBS ON YOURSELF OR A REAL ANIMAL.)

Let’s identify what we’re looking for;

Hormone suppressing herbs = antigonadotropins Prevents production and recognition of present hormones. This is going to be big for an agender transition; but even in a binary one, they’re often taken with- 

Hormone producing herbs = estrogen/estradiol & testosterone/androgens Make sure your warrior doesn’t start on huge amounts! Smaller, controlled doses are more effective. Too much can cause the opposite effects and slow down transition.

Historical precedent = Just Cool If I find a cool story I’m just going to include it, but note that it doesn’t hold pharmacological basis.

I considered also including some thoughts on surgical treatments as well, but I’ve decided I’ll save that for a follow-up. This guide is purely focused on medication to stay SFW!

Hormone Suppressants

Lycopus (also known as Wolf’s Foot, Water Horehound, Bugleweed) is such a widespread species and has several other medical uses. Not only is it THE most well documented antigonadotropin I came across, but its different species have a wide variety of medical use, including treating anxiety, heart palpitations, stopping bleeding, and respiratory illness. This is also a mint that is not toxic to cats. Also it can be used as a dye.

THERE IS A CAVEAT; if Lycopus supplements suddenly stop or overdosed, it can cause thyroid enlargement. Keep this in mind if your trans warrior ever gave up their medication to a sick clanmate in leafbare!

Lithospermum ruderale (Aka western Stoneseed or Lemonweed) has similar suppression properties, but only in American fanclans, and not as many secondary uses.

Comfrey ROOT can also be used for this purpose, in addition to its canonical uses (funfact this plant is also called knitbone). But can cause liver failure in high doses.

Rosemary suppresses feminine hormones in the uterus, for warriors going from Female to Male. Additionally, it’s an excellent antifungal, smells great, and can be used as a cooking spice.

Molly to Tom (Female to Male)

Pine Pollen (particularly from the Scots Pine), can be added to water or foods and increase testosterone.

Stinging Nettle ROOT could also be taken for a transmasc warrior. The above ground plant can be processed for use with allergies, but the relevant part here is the root underground, which has no stinging hairs.

Sarsparilla ROOT is historically associated with testosterone, though modern studies haven’t held up the claims… but, it is a plant an American clan would have access to, and is also used to make root beer.

Tom to Molly (Male to Female) 

FENNEL?? AGAIN??? It’s true.

Through Fennel, all things are possible

It has estrogenic properties in all sexes and has been explored for the creation of synthetic estrogen since the 1930s. This can be used for a transgender warrior, as well as for a cisgender queen with a hormone issue. It must be remarked though; it looks alarmingly similar to poison hemlock, and should not be collected by untrained cats.

Hops (Humulus lupulus) is up next, but first I think this education is worthwhile; phytoestrogens aren’t exactly like true estrogens, but in high enough quantities (as in, much, much more than a plate of soybeans or a mug of beer) they can have estrogen-like affects.

Hops are the uncontested queen of these, and they grow wild in several continents. Hops can sometimes be toxic to cats, based on a genetic predisposition, and mostly to the ‘cone’ (female flower). For the best hormonal effect, the ‘flower‘ (male flower) would be dried and eaten.

Flax flowers don’t contain nearly as much phytoestrogen, but are safer for cats. Additionally, flax is extremely useful in construction, and can be used to make fabric or twine if your Clan is advanced enough.

hi yes i am in fact transmasc and i do, in fact, draw (and Sometimes write about) the fighting cats

+ im just getting back into my warriors hyperfixation so its perfect timing !

Do you know of any other transmasc warrior cats blogs? I've been seeing a lot of hosility towards transmascs in this community and it's made me want to distance myself from warrior cats, which sucks because it's the fandom I've been in the longest and I don't want to lose it. Thanks in advance! ^^

oh damn, really? we must be running in different circles, i haven’t seen any transmasc specific bigotry (i’d love it if you could link me some blogs so i can preemptively block them) but if you’re a transmasc warrior cats artist please rb this post promoing yourself and i’ll give it a rb!

What if firestar did something he considers wrong in his past and he can’t stop obsessing over it and thinking he needs to be PERFECT to make up for it <- guy who probably has undxed ocd and is projecting

firestar who is full blooded brothers withtiny and bullied him as a kid and is obsessing over being a good person/making up for it but no matter what he does his past mistakes end up catching up to him when scourge comes to the forest

i think too many people heard “bluestar naming brightpaw lostface is ableist” and just never reread the scene. bluestar did not name her that bc she is repulsed or disgusted or dislikes brightpaw, she did it because she’s angry it happened to her.

her renaming brightpaw lostface is not a slight against her, its a slight against starclan. it’s assumed she will die, so when she goes to starclan with the name lostface, starclan must suffer a reminder of what they did to bluestar’s clan.

bluestar’s not even proactive about doing it, she is hesitant until she reaches the end of the naming ceremony and then becomes angry. she’s not doing it to be cruel and unkind to brightpaw, she’s doing it so brightpaw, and what happened to her (at the paws of starclan, in bluestars mind) wont be forgotten.

she also, immediately feels guilt for doing this because she believes lostface has become a new target for starclan.

it is still a cruel name, but if you take anyyyy context of bluestars mental state and reread the scene, she’s not doing it because she hates brightpaw or thinks less of her, she’s doing it memorialize her and take a shot at starclan for letting it happen. in her mind, she is doing the right thing by brightpaw.
