I just discovered foodtimeline.org, which is exactly what it sounds like: centuries worth of information about FOOD.  If you are writing something historical and you want a starting point for figuring out what people should be eating, this might be a good place?

Hello wonderful tumblr people(I say yelling into the void)!! I’m taking commissions right now and I would absolutely love to draw some cats for you! I’m kinda in a money pinch so if you’d like something drawn by me please consider supporting! Of course there’s no pressure at all, my rates are $15-40 right now please message me if you’re interested or have any questions about it, here’s some of my most recent work I mainly do warrior cat art, but if you have any other ideas I’d love to work with you on it :)

I can do any pose you’d like and backgrounds as well, these are just sketch examples of my style :)

Meet Spotfur’s grandparents!! I realized today(in my week long fury of drawing warrior cat OC’s) that I never ACTUALLY thought about what Spotfur’s grandpa would look like or be named or actually do. Still don’t tbh but I thought the design looked cool for a rough draft at least.

Rabbithaze-the dark brown tomcat is Spotfur’s Grandfather. A windclan tunneler who was known for his speed and steady solutions. He wasn’t much of a fighter but he was an excellent hunter. His design features him in his adulthood/prime because I still don’t really know the timeline I want for him. Rabbitkit, Spotfur’s sibling, was named after Rabbitgaze by his father Trushtail (Rabbitgaze’s son).

Heathercloud- the white and orange she-cat. What I can’t tell you about Rabbitgaze I can ramble on about Heathercloud, her design has had a big update since her first appearance on my YouTube channel. She is an incredibly maternal and caring cat and was a very successful mentor to all her apprentices that she had before she retired to the elders den. Where Hollyberry lacked in the emotional side of raising her kits(Spotfur and her siblings), Heathercloud took over. When all four of the kits were still alive she especially adored her granddaughters, Spotkit and Applekit, visiting her. Called them “her spotted little queens”. She lived out a long life, in her youth she was the one of the family line to bear the “gift” of starclan before passing it down to Thrushtail and then seeing it get passed down to Spotfur. Seeing the terrible burden that clawed at her soul affect not only her son, but her only surviving grandchild put heavy stress and guilt onto Heatherclouds shoulders as she aged. So, she made it her duty to help Spotfur cope through the “gift” as much as she could. It broke her heart when she saw Spotfur abandon the clan and run away to start the rouge group. Even if she knew it wasn’t perfect or happy for spotfur in the clan, Heathercloud was devastated to see her last remaining family leave

Rabbithaze and Heathercloud grew close as apprentices, their mentors teasing them relentlessly for their playground romance. The cat equivalent of Highschool sweethearts who cared deeply for eachother. Rabbithaze helped Heathercloud cope with her fits from the curse of starclan, shelling out a quiet and calm spot for her in the tunnels closest to camp. In every instance the two stood up for one another and always fought alongside each other during battles. It wasn’t too long before they had their son Thrushtail, who at apprenticeship took on the burden of starclan instead of Heathercloud. Who was beside herself, like most of the family line are, when she saw Thrushpaw have his first fit

Oh don’t worry her being unnamed has haunted me for her entire existence it’s why she’s barely in any videos on my channel. She is my nightmare.

Introducing Hollyberry! Officially FINALLY named after 5 years of being un-nameable. Named by one of my commenters on a past YouTube video!

This is my OC Spotfur’s mother, who had sabotaged her children when throwing them in the nearby river to make sure the “strongest” survived. I went more into depth on that in past posts if you want to look at them. She a definite antagonist within the story line, hoping to climb the ranks within Windclan to become leader. Even if it drives her to madness and full destruction

Little itty bitty Spotfur drawing I did to get back into the swing of things with her. I’ve been expanding on her family a lot with both the drawings and a YouTube video I’ve been working on for her ancestors so it’s about time I’ve swung back to draw my favorite girl. I love experimenting with fur styles for her and others so please excuse the differences that’ll you have probably noticed if you monitor my stuff closely. there’s always a little part of me that hates the color pattern on her tail and feet, but she’s been like that for almost eight years and can’t bring myself to change it lol. So that’s never changing, just a little Spotfur fact. I might draw her standalone again soon but her OLD OLD design so you can all see the atrocities middle school me committed to cat design.

[scadoodledraws]

Grown up Spot siblings!! These three are the siblings of my OC Spotfur that you can find on my page and on my YouTube channel. This is a “what-if” since all three died as kits being drowned by their mother. So now I’m going to nerd out slightly about design choices!

Applekit- (the red spotted she-cat) grown up she would have taken on the role of medicine cat within her clan due to her interest of it as a kit and general caring nature. Like all her siblings she’s a light spirited and sarcastic cat but the least out of the siblings. She likes to poke light fun at her returning patients for little scuffs like broken claws and scratches to lighten the mood of the medicine den, but never goes too overboard. She resembles her grandmother Heathercloud a lot pattern and coloration wise, and if she lived would have most likely grown up close to her much like Spotfur did. I really like the coloration of belted Galloway cows ever since I read this book as a kid about them and since then they always seem to worm their way into my designs now so you’ll notice how that’s worked in to Applekits design. I think she’d stay the fluffiest out of all her siblings and she would most likely take pride in keeping her fur soft to comfort her patients and kits she looks after. If she lived she would have prioritized community and hospitality both in clan and out, even if accidentally neglecting the clan codes or her starclan duties, most likely letting that role depend on whichever of her siblings would have received the “gift” of speaking with starclan. I think her medicine cat name would have been something like Appleswift, Applecurl, or Applebreeze

Thriftkit- (tan Tom cat) unlike the rest of his siblings Thriftkit has a very lion like look to him, coming from the genes of a past relative he holds himself most elegant. This is mainly due to the confidence that came easy to him since he resembles his father nearly identically aside from build. His father’s reputation as the last gift holder before Thriftkit and his siblings meant he had strong support, and therefore a good group of warriors to rely on. If he lived, Thriftkit would have made a strong windclan warrior, loving the feeling of the wind through his fur on patrols and battling out to protect his clan mates. Surely ending up in his sisters medicine den a few to many times. He too would keep that family sarcasm most likely using it when a hunt went wrong or something within his siblings happened. He surely, as a returning patient to Applekit, trade gibes with her constantly. He would be deputy material but I don’t think he’d ever receive the title, instead just living out his life as a well respected warrior. In charge of leading hunting and territory patrols as well as helping out with planning battles. If he received a warrior name I think it would be Thriftheart, Thriftstrike, or Thriftleap

Rabbitkit- (cream with dark spots Tom cat) finally Rabbitkit. If Rabbitkit lived his life would have been slightly harder than his siblings, born the runt of the litter he didn’t get quite as big as his siblings and would have most likely stayed thin and a bit ragged furred. Luckily for him, lithe is the windclan brand and his mother and siblings size and fur length are a bit of an outlier within the clan. If Rabbitkit lived he would have become a tunneler, he feels safe in the quiet caverns of the tunnel system and most likely would have liked to explore all avenues and passages that could lead to the borders of the other clans and windclan territories. In a perfect world, he and his sister Spotfur might have snuck off to cool off in the tunnels and hang out with one another. Spotfur escaping the voices of the “gift” and Rabbitkit enjoying time with his fellow company-averse sibling. Both enjoy the quiet that their other two siblings don’t quite as much. Rabbitkit however would have made a great clanmate and would have cared for windclan deeply, most likely very patriotic at gatherings stirring the pot only slightly. Rabbitkit would have with out a doubt grown to be the most sarcastic and humorous of his siblings (think old longtail and jayfeather) and would love nothing more than the tease warrior apprentices if they try to make fun of tunnelers. A vibrant character who peak as an elder most definitely. Then of which I’m certain he’d spend nearly all his time entertaining kits and making up fake stories about giant rats that lived in the tunnels and that’s “exactly how I got the scar on my stomach!”(it was in fact not, and was from an old battle that ended up with him at the wrong end of a Shadowclan warrior). If he received a warrior name I think it would be Rabbitgaze, Rabbitflight, or Rabbitnose

And, most notably, I think if the three siblings lived it would have made Spotfurs life much easier. She would have stayed most likely content with her life as a windclan warrior and have the support of her siblings to help her through her attacks of possession with starclan. She could have relied on them to help her when their mother got power hungry and she would have had cats to turn to to build relationships with. Instead, she grew up alone with a clan that isolated her in idolization. Where her mother only really saw her as a tool for control, and she felt disconnected to the entire clan system.

Spotfur’s siblings Applekit, Thriftkit, and Rabbitkit!

Alongside her siblings, Spotfur was born in a very high tense environment from the get go. All four of them had intense social pressure of being “the next generation” of legacies. Within the legacy storyline a single cat from each new generation will get the curse gift of having Starclan using their body to interact with the living passed down to them, which they receive a little before apprentice age. No one can tell who will get this ability until it comes. Grown restless at the possibility a weak kit, or the runt of the litter Rabbitkit, will get the gift their mother grows a plan. In the early morning, Spotfur’s mother takes her and her siblings down to the “Singing River”, a sacred piece of territory to Windclan that borders Thunderclan and the Rouge Woods. There, the mother throws her kits into the raging waters, watching to see who is able to fight it the longest and therefore be the known sole inheriter of the gift. Spotfur is the one to have made it out, lasting only a few seconds longer than her siblings who slowly got lost under the waves. This wrecks Spotfur’s father and most of the clan, who were told the kits snuck off on their own and found later on. Spotfur won’t remember this event in her later life, just a deep fear of water and no memory of ever sneaking out of the nursery.

Some details about the characters

Applekit- who resembles her father’s mother, one of the main clan members who would watch over her and her siblings. While she was alive, Applekit she was incredibly loving of her family and had a close relationship with Spotfur due to the fact that both of them were their grandma’s “little queens”. Applekit dreamt of being the next Windclan medicine cat and often got herself in trouble sneaking off into the medicine den to “start early” at her apprenticeship. She was a ball of calm light in the clan and in her death she watched over Spotfur the most out of her and her brothers. Following her around even after she left Windclan to look out for her.

Thriftkit- who resembles his father nearly exactly. Thriftkit had a close bond with his father and was his mother’s least favorite due to the resemblance. It made him try and prove himself as a good son as soon as he was cognizant. He died feeling like a disappointment to her that he didn’t make it out, hearing her call down to them in the river to be the strongest and make her proud. After his death, he steered clear of his mother, opting to instead roam the open plains of Windclan territory until he could track it with his eyes closed. He stayed with his father, watching over him, until his father died and joined Starclan. Thriftkit doesn’t go near any cat anymore, choosing to instead simply watch over the plains and observe the changing seasons. Occasionally, he will act as a leading voice to those in need of help or are lost

Rabbitkit- the runt of the litter who dreamed of being the greatest warrior ever seen. His mother payed him very little attention, even less than Thriftkit due to his size. He was told many times how no one would be surprised if he didn’t make it through Leaf-bare. Because of this, Rabbitkit turned to a playful and troublesome kit. Always pulling pranks on the clan and planning little heists and adventures with him and his siblings. After his death he grew as much spiteful energy as a kit can, choosing to spend his afterlife pulling tricks on his mother as “revenge”. It haunts her to some degree that the only kit she sees is the one she didn’t even care to think about in life.
