MOON 15

Short story featuring Quiver under the cut!

"Did... did that really happen?" Quiver gaped as Splashstone finished his song. It all sounded so fantastical, the spirits of dead cats appearing and speaking to their living friends... well, now that she thought about it, it sounded a little spooky. But the way these TurtleClanners spoke of it, they hadn't seen it that way.

"It did," Dustjump, the old molly who had bound her broken paw, confirmed, her chin held high and pride glowing in her eyes. "We were all there, we all saw them that night."

Quiver crouched down, flattening her ears. "Are they... going to appear again?" She wasn't ready to meet any all-seeing ghosts. What if they didn't like her staying with TurtleClan while she healed? What if they found her as strange and off-putting as most cats seemed to? What if...? She felt her heart rate starting to pick up, heard her own blood rushing in her ears.

"No," Spindlefleck's tail draped over her shoulders pulled her out of her head more than her initial words. "Currentheart and Pearl said they couldn't just appear at will, and they selected Dustjump as their contact among us, besides."

"Oh." Quiver felt her heartbeat slow back to an even pulse at Spindlefleck's words, and Dustjump's nod of confirmation. That was... good. Comforting. Safe. She thought she could get used to the idea of ghosts watching her as long as she didn't have to see them. And everyone was so kind here, she didn't want to let some silly ghosts put her off... maybe it was alright for her to finally relax for a little while, to catch her breath.

Deafheaven - "Shellstar" From the album Infinite Granite (August 20, 2021)

Last song scrobbled from iTunes at Last.fm

So they made the black metal go away, and alright, whatever waxes their surfboard, but after I for the first time listened to this record--and it certainly ain't a bad record--mostly, I just wanted to listen to Sunbather.

EDIT 10/24: I've come to quite like this, actually. And I know this Black Metal loyalist dude, hates Sunbather, and he likes it, too

So, I had this dream...

I had this dream the other night. Usually I don't post about my dreams but this one was just so impressive that I'd like to share it. This is going to be a long story, but please bear with me. I know it had some big plot, but I can't remember it. Even when I woke up I couldn't remember it. I could only remember the end. This isn't too out of the ordinary, there are usually just a couple parts of dreams I can really remember but it was so weird. I'll get to why in a minute. So, at the beginning of what I can remember, I was facing a cave at the foor of a mountain in a thick wood. This was a really deep cave; it seemed to just go on and on. Pitch black. Until, this light blue, fuzzed out around the edges, light gently came seeping out of its' mouth. So, curious, I stepped into this cave. As I traveled through its singular, craggy tunnel, I passed by these ghastly figures. They were still, still as a rock all except for the soft pulse of the gentle blue light that made up their bodies. They were unevenly spaced through the length of the cave and made a gentle humming, almost faintly bee-like sound. I was a little unnerved but I had already come so far unharmed, so I trudged on. I think I felt safe actually. Only concerned because they reminded me of will-o'-the-wisps, all apart from their grandeur; the figures were vaguely royal in a strange sense and larger than I, the size of an average adult man. They seemed to have this strong sense of purpose, despite all lack of motion and distinct feature of any kind. Eventually the tunnel of this cave opened up into a sort of cavern, or, that's what I thought it was at first. But, when I placed my hand onto the wall of this pitch black space, I felt the soft touch of lacquered wood. Suddenly a blue light started to shimmer and bubble up above me. It was above the center of the room, visible from a skylight in the shape of a dome, with thick iron rods passing between the panes of glass. From this glimmer a gentle glow was cast upon the room around me, It was a circular space designed like a library from the 1800's. I moved to the center of the room and Shellstar by Deafheaven started to play. I remember saying "Ah, so this is how it's meant to be felt. I finally found it." And then I woke up. But I remember looking up at that gentle light that slowly became brighter and brighter as I gazed up at it. Upon hearing the song I realised it was the album cover of Infinite Granite and I just... man. That dream was profound man. I've never had a dream about a song, ever. Anyway, I want to draw it at some point, to share my dream, but for now I'd just like to tell you at least.

Moon 5 - I am not the only cure.

Character asks (only for First Soul and Hazelpaw) are open, as well as ooc asks for the creator (me!)

But what drives it away?

First | Previous | Next

The whole gang! minus Rime, Hazel, and Tiny bc they're in the medicine den, the small green patch on the bottom left. Also visible is the camp entrance, the cliffside that protects about a quarter of the camp, the apprentice den that's slotted inside the cliff, the leader's branch (which Shellstar is dozing on), and the leader's den, which is the small gap in the wall on the very right.

Shellstar doodle plz

(Also I've been jonesing for some Feferi content from you but it's OK if you don't have her gundog design figured out, I know you tend to focus on ancestors)

Shellstar, leader of Riverclan in my wwvarriorstuck au. She's older than any cat can remember, and has been leader longer than Wavecrash's ma RipWater has been alivvwe.

And havvwe some Fef concepts! She's definitely been a harder one to pinpoint, and I might fiddle wwvith her markings more, maybe make em more Koi Fish (and cowwv *wwvink wwvink*) like.

Tagging: I've lost track of who likes music. So if you want to post music, you are now tagged!

MOON 5

Current knew he was meant to be paying attention to Sand and Shell. He should be doing what Splash was doing, sitting with his tail curled over his paws, ears pricked, listening to the two older cats’ instructions. And yet, his gaze kept slipping away from them, down towards the tidepool at their paws. No way. Was that…?

He leaned down, ignoring Shell’s annoyed growl, to peer more closely at the water. He watched, trying to keep his eyes from popping out of his head as the creature became visible. It was! He’d been right! It was another one of those awful octopi. Disgusting, and yet mesmerizing. 

“Splash!” He growled, jabbing the tall tom in the side. The older apprentice looked down, annoyance curling his lip until he saw what Current was gesturing at with his tail. “Look at it!”

Splash’s eyes went wide, his jaw dropping in that same mix of disgust and fascination that Current felt every time one of these things crossed his path. 

“What is it?” Splash hissed softly, Sand and Shell both utterly forgotten in the thrill of seeing such a disgusting creature.

“It’s an octopus,” Current hissed back, “like I told you about last moon, remember?”

“I remember,” Splash breathed, “but I didn’t think it would look like that!”

“Isn’t it so gross?” Current growled, “you know, Sand told me that this thing used to be a cat, once. Then it got cursed for breaking its vows, and was turned into this thing.”

“No way!” Splash’s exclamation did away with the last remaining semblance of subtlety. 

“Are you two even listening?” Shell growled, “you’re supposed to be apprentices, not kits on their first trip out of the nursery!”

But neither tom was listening to her rant, too consumed by their fascination with the slimy, pink beast. 

“So Sand said that once, there was this ship’s cat…”

AN: And we're done with Moon 5! This might not be all that important to the story, but it was too great a moment for me not to include it.

°○Seedthorn/ Seedstar○°

The Deputy/leader of Moonclan. He's the father of Shellstar, speckleshade, and Birchglow. He's the antagonist in Shellstar's Mystery. He grew up in Moonclan and is the brother of Brackentuft and Honeymoon. He was a quiet apprentice that never stepped out of line. He became mates with Gooseshade when he became Deputy and he did love her but after awhile he became consumed with becoming leader and having power and he began to teach this ambition to his daughter Specklekit.

Design notes/facts: His scars are from countless battles, he has a close friendship with Brackentuft.

[west-tokyo-incidents]

Lays down.

So. I'm like. Planning out like families and stuff like who's related to who in the Warriors AU... And.

Yeah this is basically about to become something only vaguely attached to ULTIMO cause like.

TL;DR, Fusataro and Vice are basically siblings and their uncle is Kaizo. Yeah.

SO. Whitestar is (Fusataro)Sunshadow's dad. So I had to make up a 'mom', and I settled on Mousewhisker, who would be (Kaizo)Volepelt's sister.

Why?

WELL ABOUT THAT--

I know that Whitestar didn't react well to Sunshadow being born during an eclipse. I wanted an all-out panicking, trying to rip the kit away from her mother's belly thing, but someone protects them.

Who, though? Well, maybe the medicine cat who would be there for the birth, but Berrytail is notably weak maybe a sibling as well?

Okay, so sibling. Don't wanna make a whole new character, who's an adult cat now? Volepelt. He's the elder when Pinestep's story starts, so he was probably a warrior still during this time, and also it gives Volepelt more relevance to the story, so all around hurrah!

(Vice)Shellstar's story is he and (Ultimo)Featherstar were found abandoned as newborns along the river by the medicine cats and were separated to take one to each clan.

Okay, so there needs to be a surrogate mother to take him in. Ugh, again I don't wanna make a new character, sooo... Maybe Mousewhisker is the only one in the nursery and she's got plenty of milk because she only has one kit. Maybe Sunkit(Sunshadow) is a little bit older and kinda big-sisters him?

So yeah. That's where we're at.

I mean it's not THAT odd, I've already specified (Orgullo)Firejaw as the father of (Hana)Petalkit and the step father to (Mizho)Owleye and (Jealousy)Spidergaze SOOOOO...

[lostkitsclangen]

Hopeclan references! and some little tidbits of info too!

Character descriptions below!

Shellstar is the leader of Hopeclan, having been granted 9 lives 25-ish moons ago. He's more quiet and observant, calculative, but is also regarded as the smartest cat in the clan. He was raised by a single father who was regarded as one of the greatest warriors in the clans, and even though he was busy with his duties, he never hesitated to cast them aside for his son. Now Shellstar feels it is his duty to repay his debt to his dad by taking care of his clan, and often does individual check-ins with his clanmates.

Ospreypounce is Hopeclan's trusted deputy. She's regal, graceful, but also expressive, sharp, and dutiful. She takes pride in her responsibilities and commitment. She's always busy, and tries to be on every patrol at once, even though it's nearly impossible. She's also larger than every cat in the clan, with Rookgrass in close second, Shellstar in third, even though pretty soon that spot will be taken up by Charpaw. However, this means she gets worn down in the summer, with her large size and thick coat, it's hard to stay cool, and she often is confined to camp by Shellstar and Rimestripe, lest she gets heat exhaustion.

Rimestripe is Hopeclan's sole medicine cat. He presence is seen as calming to any cat within the clan, his presence being a symbol of safety and health. However, he is also equally as fierce as he is protective. Before he became a medicine cat, Rimestripe was a warrior. However, a life threatening injury changed his mindset, leading to his shift in occupation. Over time, he developed a strong connection with Starclan. Despite this, he would not hesitate to launch himself into battle if it meant protecting a clanmate.

Mossyleaf is Hopeclan's oldest warrior as of recent. He's more standoffish than the rest of the clan, and is seen as a little.. off. However, they are also adventurous and multi-talented, excelling in swimming, climbing, building, and mediating. A tom of many faces is for certain, but their many talents has led Mossyleaf to be a great asset to the clan.

Goldendawn is the most hyper cat you will meet in Hopeclan. Despite this, not much is actually known about Goldendawn himself. A loner dropped him off at the clan when they were passing through, just after he was weaned. Goldendawn doesn't open up easily, and often doesn't speak of his inner thoughts and emotions. Despite this, he always does his best to hear out his clanmates and cheer them up with his playful demeanor, and always seem to know when someone is feeling down, even sometimes before they know it themselves.

Rookgrass is especially quiet, solemn, more so than Shellstar or Mossyleaf combined. However, the clan sees this silence as Rookgrass's way of calming himself. When he was a 'kot and 'paw, he would complain of headaches from talking too much, with too many thoughts. Throughout his apprenticeship, his intelligence was exposed, meanwhile his demeanor became much more calmer, until he settled into a nice and comfortable silence. Rookgrass is also Ospreypounce's son.

Charpaw is Rookgrass's son, Ospreypounce's grandson, and is the oldest apprentice of Hopeclan. He is training under Shellstar, who is a nice balance to Charpaw's snarky and outgoing demeanor. However, despite Charpaw being very outspoken and seeming to jump into every possible chance he could find to make trouble, Charpaw is actually very responsible. It seems part of his dad's quick-witted intelligence filtered down to Charpaw, leaving him to be fairly speedy in his decision making. His clanmates sometimes describe it as clairvoyance, always seeming to know immediately what choices he'll make.

Whimsypaw is the clan's second and youngest apprentice. She is highly imaginative and creative, often making up stories for her clanmates, mainly Charpaw. Additionally, she is also a troublemaker, but her laid-back and tranquil attitude lead to Charpaw taking the lead in the pranks she proposed.

Tinykit is the youngest member of Hopeclan, having only just been brought in by Mossyleaf, his father. Despite his short time in the clan, he has come to be realized as a great builder in the making, often pointing out areas that need matching in the camp walls. He also has a very strong moral compass, and refuses to lie.

goin :3<< whale now i Gotta ask abt his Giant Murder Crush (+his flings)(i see cats and go ᓚᘏᗢ yipeeee)

ShellStar of Riverclan, a leader so old no-one remembers her days as deputy. There's not a fleck of gray on her coat despite that.

Hollow, the leader of our Bloodclan equivvwalent, The Ring. He and Ripwater go wwvay back, and his current deputy (and mate) looks NOTHING like the kits that are SUPPOSED to be hers.

And of course:

OrbWeaver, a former housecat turned Rouge, bane of RipWater's existence/affectionate.
