design development for bindlefates (and tigerstar) for a map i’ll probs never make

I don’t like the pink ghost look I think I would rather go with something silvery?? the world will be very deep in colour …velvety and rich and shadowy… i might study some wayne art. the firestars quest cover has the right vibe. the map is largely about brindle and ashfur and how he desecrates her legacy.

thanks everyone for your responses, feel free to realise some real lies in the replies

I will be #real I think if the Minecraft wiki can get off fandom then warriors can and i’d love to be like <3 let’s start a change dot com petition to migrate we will march on washington and show we need a better wiki host. but also its a bit dog of me to go demanding that as someone who doesn’t even work on the wiki.

real eyes have a question: why is the warriors wiki still hosted on fandom. what would it take to start moving it to mediawiki or something else. are the hurdles mostly labour

ideally mousefur is just these photographs of brown tabby cats that I got from the brown tabby cat Wikipedia page . she shouldn’t look any more interesting than that

i was really pissed about the inefficiency of warrior cat nest design as a child and that hasn’t really changed for me but i also don’t think i know how their nests actually work

emergency commission post

my good friend Joe is out of work for the time being due to chronic illness, but because we live in a hell world he still needs to make money, so he has emergency commissions opened on twitter and bsky.

joe does excellent furry and human art and has a really good eye for uncanny valley/unsettling horror.

you can find him on TWITTER, BLUESKY and LINKTREE for more information like prices and how to contact him. if you can't commission him at this time, please share the post!

good news about this actually is mistyfoot and reedwhisker were the last ones so the bluestar line is down and out unless the erins decide to go for a duskfur retcon

bluestar spending the last months of her life convinced her entire clan are traitors out to get her, fireheart desperately acting as a bridge between them even though the clan resents and blames him for their problems, only to remember in her last moments how deeply she loved them all and is loved by them

mistystar spending her entire life pretending that her whole clan didn’t allow what happened to her + stonefur + their apprentices to happen, putting aside her bitterness and grief and rage to be a good leader to them, feeling like her son reedwhisker is the only cat she can truly trust to have as her deputy, hoping desperately she made the right choice by staying. and then finally, when she is the oldest cat in the clans, she gets the chance to reform things, to change the rules to prevent something like tigerclan from ever happening again, only for her clan to look at her and say you’re fucking crazy, why would you want this, that could never happen again, maybe somewhere else but not here, and in her last moments while her last precious child is far off in the woods being murdered and her heart is giving out she realises her mistake

the streets have been asking to hear what those thoughts were so i went back to check my records

Literally just spent four days of cyclone shut in my bedroom thinking about mistyfoot and I could go four more

have you seen eelclaw's mistyfoot AU yet? i think you'd like it

LAUGHING just saw this ask now after the posts…. oh god anon im so sorry. you thought of me and you were RIGHT… i could have been on this shit a week ago if only i would get on tumblr more than once a month. thank you so much for coming to tell me about this that was so nice of you

for my mistyfoot-in-the-fox-trap au.

mistyfoot does not tell anybody what happened that day, when hawkfrost intended for brambleclaw to kill her. who would help? she cannot forget how her clanmates turned on her, the sneering remarks about her heritage. she cannot forget that leopardstar appointed her deputy only to push tigerclan into the past. she cannot forget riverclan's compliance in the moons of hawkfrost's scheming and undermining and stirring trouble.

so she cannot tell. she can only hope to outlive leopardstar. she can only hope that, once she's leader, riverclan will be receptive to change.

years later, bramblestar's life is stolen by a vengeful ghost. good riddance, mistystar thinks, relieved to never sit beside him in the great oak again.

but squirrelflight is shattered, and mistystar respects squirrelflight. the daughter of her old friend, brave and loyal. moreover, mistystar sees herself and blackclaw in squirrelflight's own tumultuous relationship.

and... if she's being honest... mistystar understands her birth mother a little more, after watching squirrelflight's life fall apart and be put back together again.

so mistystar approaches the grieving cat to offer her condolences. but squirrelflight hasn't forgotten those arguments over hawkfrost, those nights spend burning with anger. she hasn't forgotten hawkfrost's mysterious death or the way brambleclaw avoided her gaze after. she hasn't forgotten what her mate has been hiding from her.

the question slips out. what happened?
