daily whistlebreeze until ki becomes PoV day 1553

the results of the prompts challenge are in (and have been for a while, but I have been distracted <3) and Stretchkit and Rustlekit are here to assist Whis with the planning.

as you have voted to have a full month of Whisses, I have decided that this will happen in July. I can't really do it earlier because I need to focus on my exams in June. I have already prepared the prompts and I will share them when July approaches (in the meantime I'll try to cobble a pretty image for it together)

Birman: What’s one scene that made you genuinely smile?

And

Abyssinian: If you could make a ship canon, which would it be?

:]

the "it was nothing" "it was everything" scene is a basic one to answer for me obviously, so I'll tour to Sunbeam's antics in Thunder when Finchlight, Myrtlebloom and Sparkpelt are being so kind and supportive to her. She's got a real family and a girlfriend or two now and they Do care about her. Additional moment to mention Sunbeam mentoring Moonpaw. Sunny-B deserves all the positive moments in the world

I'll be controversial and say I don't want FrostWhistle to be canon, or at least not in a really romantic way. I adore thel being close and have drawn them a lot, but partly because I'm projecting HARD on Frost and Whistle and also because Frost being aro is very dear to my heart, I kindof always did see them as really just Good Friends. They care for each other and trust each other so much and would do everything for the other, but it's not romantic. They love each other until the end of times in my mind, but not in a romantic way. It's more of a QPR technically, but yeah. Friends. I love platonic devotion <3

I will also announce that Flutterfoot and Appleshine have a kinda same-ish thing going on. No romo, all platonic. Yes even the kits (that they shouldn't have had NOW, it is Way Too Early For Them To Have Kits!!!!!!!!!!! (Except in the idea I Just Had that they found the kittens and adopted them. I consider adopted kits as full family when it comes to my tree nonsense, but this would make them being parents so young (both of them are barely two years old) slightly less painful to me)). Anyways, AppleFlutter. I called it before the books did, but my version is better.

As for a ship I really want. Moonpaw x Moonpool for the joke answer. Fanon Moon ended up being so much more interesting than whatever the fuck the erins are hallucinating with their newest plot. Make Moonpaw have a weird bond to the holy place! She's Leafpool's great-grandkid (on both sides </3), let her do like great granny and be important to that body of water!

Anyways, for a serious answer I'll go with SunFinch. I am an avid truther that Sunbeam should've ditched Nightheart once he bailed in Thunder. I know StarClan Said So, but Sunny should've realized while he was gone he never liked Night, but the attention she got from him in a time when her close relationships in ShadowClan were getting complicated.

Berryheart, Sparrowtail and Hollowspring were getting more radicalized, Spireclaw was busy with Fringewhisker, she just had That Thing with Blazefire and Lightleap and while she's okay with the other young ShadowClanners,. she's not as close to thel as she was with her brothers or Light and Blaze and she missed that connection and In Comes Nightheart, declaring his love for her and only her (right after a messy "breakup" with Blaze (and Light)), which made her felt desired again and she played into it because it felt nice.

Then Nightheart intentionally failed his challenge to return to ThunderClan and Sunbeam was heartbroken, but still didn't feel like she had a place in ShadowClan at the moment and ran back into the fake but comforting affection Nightheart had developed for her (also imo, they work nicely as buddies. She and Night in Shadow without the romance would've worked well. They played off of each other in a neat way), but then Nightheart left her again on his Special Mission and she had to rebuild from zero now. She couldn't just return to ShadowClan, that would've been too shameful, especially with Berryheart, so she had to stay. She had no connection to anyone else aside from being Spark and Finch' in-law now and yet it is in that same clan she managed to build a life for herself and be the truest version of herself with cats who love her and care for her.

She and Finch could then really hit off and Sun could for the first time really fall for someone and realize what she felt for Night and Blaze wasn't really love, but a craving for longing and attention and she could really begin a romance with someone who sees her for who she is and doesn't use her as a prop.

Anyways, I have gotten very attached to Sunbeam (or the idea of her I have in my head) over the course of ASC dropping and I just feel like she could've had a very neat and simple (compared to Frostdawn at least) narrative going on

@pinestripe37 had an idea of organizing a monthly/weekly whis challenge where I make some prompts and you can draw Whisses or write little fics if you prefer, based on these prompts, would other people be interested in participating?

I will be kinda busy the next few months (exams </3), so it would probably happen more around july/august but I want to already check for interest

i've posted about it a bit but I'm trying to save the WindClan family tree from collapsing under the weight of the erins' lack of foresight. Whistlebreeze's family is already fully ironed out and I don't think I'll play with the HeatherBreeze kids or who Heather and Breeze's parents are (I kinda want this tree to be semi canon adjacent, so no massive crossclan couples that would have repercussions on the further events (though I am never against a sneaky relationship like Gorsetail and Beechfur technically had)), but since the rest of the clan is a blank slate, I'm asking you if you have some things you usually imagine about the WindClan family tree that I could incorporate into this save I'm attempting.

I already know I'm shuffling all the ASC and CS kittens (so Larkwing's litter, the second FeatherOat one, Fluff and Silky and the AppleFlutter kids) because one family DOES NOT need this many kittens. I'm already set on Fluff and Silky being ex-kittypets, but all other three litters are fully fair game for any other WindClanner. That right now is either going to be a Single Dad, or a cat I save from dying unceremoniously somewhere in TNP-AVOS (and though my options are limited, I'll scrounge through these cats like my life depends on it).

So, my main question right now is if there are specific cats from WindClan you'd want to not be dead? I'm already saving Sunstrike and replacing Whiskernose with her, but there are absolutely other cats that should also be alive and I'm curious if you have suggestions.

[morningmask27]

Goddamn, those family tree releases just made me mentally unstable. I am definitely the only person who cares this much about the state of modern WindClan, but they are genuinely reaching a critical point and I see no future where the AppleFlutter kits don't get with Fluff or Silky or that Lark's kits have kittens with Featherpelt's second litter. This is a nightmare scenario for me, but let's all be honest, the Erins don't care a single bit about this at all
