#bramblesquirrel rewrite

[vaugarde]

speaking of tawnypelt its so funny when people go “mothpool is bad because people reduce mothwings character to just this fanon relationship! why not focus on her relationship with her thunderclan siblings!!!” 

like. girl WHAT relationship?

[sillspore]

Now that brambleclaw and squirrelflight aren't mates, how would Alderheart and Sparkpelt being born? Most AUs (not saying those aus are bad) just have Bramblestar as a nothing character either as a villain with no personality or forgettable, with the personlity of wheat bread "man wife"

A lot of Bramnleclaw's character in/is about Squirrelflight and their love triangle with Ashfur. I can't really see (again no offense to you. Just airing my thoughts) as him being nothing character, if he isn't her mate than how would TBC happen or would that series never happen because Ashfur or Brambleclaw aren't mates with Squirrelflight. How would plotpointd such as his relationship with firestar would become? It would be jus them as adoptive siblings?

beware, this shit is long! soooo much more under the cut.

i’ve been thinking about this! basically, squilf would replace leafpool in the forbidden romance plot with crowfeather. during tpb, all of squilf’s romance will be with crowfeather. we get his pov during the journey, where he will be close with feathertail but crushing on squirrelpaw. we get squilf’s pov when they get home, where we can hear her internal debates over her feelings about crowpaw and missing him. she is attached to brambleshade (brambleclaw), but in a sibling way. in my head, firestar is a pseudo-dad to bramble, so a sibling dynamic makes sense. however, this isn’t reciprocated the same way. bramble grows to be in love with squirrelflight.

in twilight, squirrel and crow debate leaving, but decide against it and amicably agree to split. at the same time, leafpool is having the same issue with mothwing — mothwing cares little about the warrior code, and would much rather leave the clans and live their lives in peace, with a bonus of the fact that hawkfrost would never follow her and she’d be free of him. they run away, but come back just in time, like the leafcrow romance in canon.

as a note, because tc doesn’t share borders with rc, they had no idea it was mothwing that leafpool ran away with.

afterward, in sunset, squirrelflight grows closer to bramble and ashfur is scorned, much like in canon. she realizes he assumes she’s in love with bramble, and she lets this happen to dissuade him from trying to “win” her back. she feels safe doing this, because she assumes her sibling feelings towards bramble are the same from his side.

(note: squilf did date ashfur while she was arguing with bramble, but at first it was just friendship. she thought he’d make a great mate, and she could forget about crowfeather and maybe even have kits. but as he grows more controlling, she breaks up with him. soon after, she reconciles with bramble and ashfur takes this as badly as possible.)

after the whole saving her dad thing, squirrelflight is delighted. (side note again: bramble does become deputy, because longtail retires early. longstar would be too good of a leader, we need a shit one, for plot reasons.) bramble is delighted, because he thinks this means she loves him “again”. leafpool had no idea about the crowfeather thing, and tells squilf about the dream starclan sent of squilf and bramble walking side by side. squilf takes this to mean starclan wants her and bramble as mates (they absolutely do, the meddling weirdos), but with the way she feels about him? she isn’t fond of the idea. however, at the book’s end, leafpool tells her she’s pregnant. squilf knows exactly who’s they are — and she is both petrified and delighted. it’s complicated situation, she’s so overjoyed to have her love’s kits, but he will never know them and the clan will be suspicious. everyone knows she was courting ashfur but spends all her time with bramble now, so they’ll assume it’s one of theirs. so will the two cats in question. if she refuses to say who, it’ll be very obvious their father is not thunderclan. she tells this much to leafpool, who advises her to follow starclan’s wish and become bramble’s mate, for real. squilf tries to convince herself this will be okay, because it’s what starclan wants.

later, leafpool tells her she’s carrying mothwing’s kits, and they (TOGETHER) devise the plan to have squilf raise them, which will be easy because she’ll actually have milk here. bramble is over the moon at the news of kits, and squilf is dying inside. it’d be a depressing inner monologue, her trying to convince herself she can be happy like this.

leafpool fakes a starclan vision, saying squirrelflight must visit the moonpool immediately, for plot reasons. squilf gives birth up there, and crow stumbles upon them. there’s a unique herb growing in the cave that he was sent to retrieve for his “mate” (they’ve come to an agreement: crow takes night as his mate to look loyal, and the kits she has won’t appear as if they were fathered by a rogue, like they actually were), nightcloud, who’s about to give birth. he sees squilf’s kits, they get emotional and sappy. there’s two kits, unnamed. together, they name them hollykit and breezekit, and crow takes breezekit (the one out of rhe two without red on him) back to wc to be raised by nightcloud with her kits. he’ll blend right in with the litter.

a few hours later, leafpool gives birth to jaykit, lionkit (still haven’t decided his name change), and dovekit. after another day, a tc patrol comes to get them, wondering what took them so long, surprised to find squirrelflight’s four kits! they carry ‘em home, and squilf settles in the nursery, fussed over by brambleshade. about a week later, dovekit dies, and squilf is heartbroken. she grows listless and finds it hard to take care of her remaining kits, but later recovers and is a great mom.

power of three goes pretty close to canon, major plot wise. hollyleaf is not a member of the three, but it makes SENSE bc she wasn’t actuallt part of the three’s litter. dovekit was, who was later reincarnated into whitewing’s kit, dovekit, in order for the prophecy to be fulfilled. for the fire scene, it goes the same mostly, squilf claiming they aren’t her kits, ashfur says idc you love them anyway. i think i may have firestar save them from ashfur here, losing his final life. after the fire, squilf admits that hollyleaf is her kit, but the other two aren’t. hollyleaf pries the whole story out of leafpool, and goes STRAIGHT to brambleshade, before he goes to receive his nine lives. he thanks her for telling him, and he is heartbroken (because, apparently, his wife never loved him.) and furious. none of his kits were his, some of them were even leafpool’s! after he’s made bramblestar, he appoints hollyleaf as his deputy, citing that she’s the only one he can trust. things go to shit, sol, hollyleaf snaps and kills ashfur, hollyleaf tells the clans everything, including the prophecy, etc etc. hollyleaf dies, killed by the falling rocks in the tunnels. her role in the great battle stays the same, as does firestar’s, bc their ghosts can still kick ass.

after this, during omen of the stars, we see bramble actively punishing squirrelflight. everything is shit. i don’t know who i’ll have him pick as deputy, but they’ll die during the flood of bramblestar’s storm. jessy happens, etc etc, squilf and him make up. she apologizes, and he apologizes, but he kinda makes it about him, hmmm….

anyway, spark and alder are bramblesquirrel kits still. i haven’t thought about major plot for avos yet, i’ve barely thought about pot and oots. but, squilf is made deputy, and the broken code is a thing. bramblestar is freed of rhe possession, but there will be a scene where squirrelcrow have a Moment and bramblestar loses his shit. he accuses her of betraying him, of being cruel and evil, yada yada. brambleshade is a little weird, maybe kinda vindictive, but bramblestar is out of his mind. the sheer amount of power he has and his desire to use it against her is dangerous. he is very clearly an evil person, despite the sympathies he has. anyway, bramblestar tries to exile her, but spark stops him. she, and the clan, are OVER bramblestar, who was just as bad a leader as the imposter. he is stripped of his name and lives via rhe new warrior code rule, and the clan watches in horror as he loses all but his last life in real time. he’s moved to the medicine den. meanwhile, squilf becomes a star, and appoints ivyclaw (ivypool) her deputy. she gives brambleshade the option of leaving the clan or retiring, and he hobbles his old ass to the elder’s den.

after all this, crowfeather decides to join thunderclan, and squirrelstar happily accepts him, daring anyone to argue. they get their happily ever after, and it’s very sweet. maybe breeze even comes with his dad, tired of his clan’s scorn? regardless, it’s a very awkward time for nightheart watching his grandad spit obscenities at his step-grandad. wild.

pls tell me if this is incoherent ive never written my ideas out for the squirrelcrow bramblesquirrel plot before !!!

[notwarriorswiki]

An extremely messy draft of moving the births around for the 1st arc. Subject to change.

The number is the relation of moons in comparison to the birth of Firestar. For instance, Cinderpelt is 7 moons younger than Firestar, changed to be born a moon after he joins ThunderClan.

Some cats have notes of their planned mentor. For instance the four starting Thunder apprentices (Fire, Sand, Gray, Dust) all receive the major four litter (Cinder, Bright, Bracken, Thorn).

[mud-castle]

Anyhow, got a question you should hopefully enjoy answering.

You've talked about cats whose story you would rewrite or swap. Why not make it about two cats? Specifically, couples.

What singular couple would you rewrite in WC? And which two couple dynamics/storyline would you swap?

I'd rewrite the LeafCrow couple because their dynamic is weird af.

They first truly meet when Leaf is hanging off a cliff and Crow is standing there like: I miss Feathertail :(. Bitch?! Priorities?

Then she feels pressured to like him because he likes her? BRUH?

Then Leafpool fucking talks about how much she misses this man IN FRONT OF HIS WIFE AND CHILD? bro?? Didn't YOU leave HIM?!

I think them having a fling or whatever is fine. Though I'd put the running away after all the drama that's happened (Windclan's civil war, Cinderpelt's death, the Badger attack). They've already been talking but they're both in vulnerable emotional states when they find each other and run, but Leaf snaps out of it first. And she doesn't moon over this stinky trash garbage man for the rest of her life. If anything, Crow moons over her.

2. Hmm, I don't think I'd swap any couples so much as just adjust the stories they already have.

Or if we're talking non-canon as well, then Ashfur & Brambleclaw are competing over Squilf's affections. And she doesn't say anything cause she's too busy having a massive gay crush towards Tawnypelt for the sole reason that it would be funny.

[wc-confessions]

Im rewriting TPB and made BrambleSquirrel into a more TLK2 situation and its healthier because the canon is gross with it a comment I get on it is BUT BRAMBLESQUIRREL IS ABUSIVE!!! …. no duh thats why Im rewriting it? Can you read what my post even said

.

[official-darkforest]

if you see me stealing the plot of tlk2 for bramblesquirrel in my rewrite no you did not

[bonefall]

Anyway, onto canon things.

If we are talking about cats whose story you would rewrite or swap. Why not make it about two cats? Specifically, couples.

What singular couple would you rewrite in WC? And which two couple dynamics/storyline would you swap?

Honestly, I have such a massive bone to pick with every single canon couple, it would be hard to give you any particular one. I hate how WC writes romance.

Silverstream and Graystripe are the only two I would leave untouched. The second best canon couple, Cloudtail and Brightheart, also has two serious problems (first being the general writing of Cloudtail as a second mentor to her, second being the forced and unpleasant love triangle in TNP with Daisy). And all the others?

You can consider basically every couple gutted lmao, I keep them canon in name-only.

If I could only pick ONE though it would be Leafpool and Mothwing. Crowfeather is nothing to me. It was them who had the chemistry all book long, and you can combine the Tiger/Fire lineages easily with them, negating the need to ever remove Squilf's infertility for Bramblesquirrel kits.

[hadescabin]

why do you want to get rid of tigerdove instead of trying to fix it??? no shade or anything.

TW// GROOMING, MANIPULATION because quite honestly, there's nothing there to fix. it's just bad from the bottom down. i've seen really great rewrite aus that age tigerheart down to dovewing's age, so that they pursue each other as apprentices, which is something i considered doing since it doesn't really change much in terms of the story. however, i've come to the realization that the age gap isn't the only thing wrong with the relationship. That aside, Tigerheart is very manipulative and awful towards Dovewing, throughout the entirety of the time they've known each other, and even now that they have kits. Someone in my TigerDove is grooming post brought up a great example of how he even went out of his way to have a whole incel breakdown to Ivypool when she stood up for herself and cut off their relationship when he was trying to pressure her back in.

("Your sister who I've groomed since she was 13 put her friends and family over me" is a crazy thing to say and rage about btw. People like to say that bumbledove is worse for the incel stuff, have completely forgotten that Tigerheart, or many men in the series really, throw a fit when they don't get what they want. It's just worse when you keep in mind that he spends 4 books isolating and manipulating her into a relationship with him since the moment she was a child, and lovebombing her when she fights back. See: their argument about Dawnpelt in The Last Hope). People seem to have this misguided view that Tigerheartstar is this sweet himbo blorbo who loves his wife and kids, when in reality he's the complete opposite. Canon establishes him as someone who is very sneaky and great at manipulating the people around him to get what he wants. This isn't just an "Ivypool is biased" thing (though I do admit that she does hold some), it's just canonically established as the type of person tigerheart is.

(This actually isn't the first time someone points it out in the book, though I decided to stick with Squilf since she is a lot more reliable than someone like Bramblestar LOL). While it's certainly true that he cares a lot about his family, to the point where he selfishly puts them above everything else, it's also true that he just isn't the best father. Let's not forget how he actively victim blamed Shadowsight for being manipulated by Ashfur, and ordered him to constantly remain in close proximity to care for someone who took advantage of him. Between that and him kicking out nomads from their own territory, Tigerheartstar can be interesting in the way that he's consistently written as having these glaring flaws such as poor judgement and selfishness. Which, as much as I hate the guy, I do like that about him, and therefore wish to keep that in. However, I run into 2 problems. To start off, I don't feel comfortable writing a grooming relationship in my rewrite, it's not a subject I wish to touch. Second of all, even if I do age down Tigerheartstar, I really don't want Dovewing to be trapped in an abusive relationship, especially since her arc is about escaping that. It wouldn't make sense for her to escape to the same clan of the guy who manipulated her. It honestly makes more sense if they just remain good friends, not every forbidden meetup plot line needs to be romantic (like Firestar sneaking out to meet Princess). Maybe there will be a point in time where Tigerheart(or Goldenheart/paw in my rewrite) tricks Dovepaw for herbs or something, but it's established as awful on his part, and it very much nearly ends their friendship, which serves as a small wakeup call for him (Goldenheart is very spoiled in my rewrite so he's just used to doing whatever to get what he wants even at the expense of others). I don't know though, I still need to workshop it. TLDR: Outside of the massive age gap, similarly to relationships like BrambleSquirrel, TigerDove is unintentionally written to be too toxic (in this case it's grooming) for me to try and fix. "Fixing" TigerDove, would be "fixing" Tigerheartstar, which you really can't do, since him being awful is just his character. I really don't feel comfortable trying to pretty up a grooming relationship anyways, best to cut it out. edit: i decided the "evidence" i used with jayfeather wasn't exactly accurate in showing what I was trying to say, and that it would be best to cite from a more recent book. so i decided to replace it with an excerpt from Squirrelflight's Hope. dont get me wrong though it's still very much an example of him being antagonistic in the series even way back during OOTS.

[changedfates]

tell me everything about squirrelflight/star in your rewrite now🔫

All the changes I've done so far. (Most of these are probably not final).

Fuck BrambleSquirrel. NOT A THING OVER HERE.

Leafpool is on the Journey instead of Squilf. I will elaborate on this LATER.

After Firestar died in The Great Battle, and Brambleclaw too, Squirrelstar becomes the leader.

Also she gets two girlfriends ig because.. it's Squilf. Like father like daughter I guess?

Many cats noticed she acted a bit more.. differently recently. Oddly a bit more cruel, and lot more angered too. Lionblaze recognizes this behavior.

[themissinglynx]

tell me about bramblestar/squirrelflight

While I do wish the Erins' perception of BrambleSquirrel was what was in the books (that being a relationship with highs and lows but they still stick together despite it all), I'm rather fascinated by what they ended up actually writing. Rewrites can either soften the relationship into its ideal, or take the abusive route which could help in driving more character conflict. The latter would require a delicate pen to address it with the gravity it needs though.

[gourdlily]

list of sparkpelt (spark in the brush rewrite vers) wins

successfully broke up bramblesquirrel as a semi-senior warrior

convinced fire not to make bramblestone deputy

successfully broke up dustfern as a young warrior

successfully became brushstar's second deputy after brightheart retired to the elders den to be with cloudtail and swiftstrike (her beloved boy and themby)

successfully helped sandstorm realize ember was only w her to get over her crush on grey, who she broke up with because of the silver disagreement. she stayed w her to keep the peace for their kits tho.

tortie sparkpelt.

does not give birth to nightheart and finchflight (they get adopted in (by ivy and fern) like many others because i refuse the inbreeding and tiger/fireclone stuff)

saves skyclan (alder was not related to fire because he is dust & thorn's adopted kid and was born to a lake kittypet)

[sillspore]

Same anon from the long post one.

I like the idea but some of seen too much (Don't think I hate you please 😭, a lot Wc fans can't handle criticism sometimes and go right to you thinking if someone criticizes them/or their art they must hate the person)

Maybe because just I'm bramblestar and squilf's fan, I could be bias but I wish Brambleshade is more than just a dick? I understand you hate him and that is fine but making his whole character as nothing but a character with all flaws (that what I got from reading your post, not trying to assume anything, don't change your AU just because I or anyone said so, it's your work do what you want) seem lame to me.

He is seem more to have nothing but flaws, I don't see him doing a lot of those. Him trying to exiling Squirrelflight seems something he won't do at all and have.Again no hate toward you, I think your AU could be nice to some people but not for me. Not because of you, it just seem every AU with Brambleclaw, he is same character over again.

He is either a evil, good for nothing cat who is only there to have power of three plot to happen or like I said before a man wife.

again no hate to you but the AU isn't for me but I can definitely see other people liking, maybe I would like more if you make a fanfic about it, who knows. Again I'm not saying cant have a bad/ a character you don't like befit anyone's view because it's your fanfic, all that. It's up to you.

It just seem repeat from every other AU about or around Bramnleclaw. I hope to see ur AU grow ever through I don't like some of plots in it ❤️ /ih

yeah, i understand lol! since i haven’t written anything, it’s just an outline, the characters may seem very shallow or one dimensional :) i do want to give brambleshade good qualities — in the beginning he IS good. firestar made him deputy, after all, so he must have seen leader qualities within brambleclaw. however, the intent behind this au is to add small things i like, and make canon work. a lot of plot threads and character choices in warriors are… weird, to say the least. the goal with brambleshade is to make his canon character work. in the new prophecy, he’s kind of annoying, but he’s a good guy. he’s noble, and strong, and caring. but he DOES act petty and rude to squilf after the reveal of the three’s heritage (which personally, i feel he’s within his rights to do, for the lies she led him on with), he DOES act like the three aren’t his kids after (which is so dumb to me), and he DOES use his power as a leader to set up situations to make squirrelflight look disrespectful or dumb. he puts her in dangerous situations, forces her to choose her morals over his orders (thinking of squirrelflight’s hope here), and punishes her for it.

listen, in my head, my brambleclaw is a good guy. he’s a good cat-husband, a good dad, and a good if somewhat bland leader. in my head, he’s goldenflower’s son and he acts like it. but if i put HIM in THIS au, sooo many plots simply wouldn’t happen. to match the flow of canon, i’d have to create new plots and villains and honestly? i don’t want to haha. i’m still in school, i don’t have a whole lot of time to dedicate to this. so, i’m sticking with mostly canon overarching plots and doing what i need to make it work. and in canon, bramblestar sucks. they make him cruel and vindictive and a horrible mate to squirrelflight, sometimes he outright constructs narratives to come up with reasons to be mad at her. it’s crazy. personally, i see it as them ruining him to create a new antagonist, but they refuse to make him a villain, so no one recognizes or checks his behavior. it’s so infuriating, i wish the authors would pick a characterization. stick with the intended brambleclaw and actions that make sense for him, or stick to him going “evil” and acting insane (aka how he acts in squirrelflight’s hope).

so, to make canon work, bramble is good, then “bad” (acting within reason, but the protags are his not-kids who he’s being rude to, so he’s perceived badly), then bad. he’s not meant to be evil, he isn’t ashfur or anything. but the story is meant to show that he is heartbroken, and emotionally vulnerable, and embraces a vindictive part of himself he’s never let air (which IS canon, his thought process on if he should kill firestar in sunset or not is genuinely disturbing lmao). then he gets his mate back. and THEN he is killed, possessed, mentally violated. this RUINS him. he is not mentally stable, and this allows for squirrelstar to happen. i can very well just kill him at the end of the broken code instead, it achieves the exact same result. if that’s what you guys prefer, that works for me :) the intent of bramblestar trying to exile squirrelflight for “betraying” him is to show how he’s degraded, kind of like bluestar in arc 1, and give way for the audience to see the new code rule (stripping a leader of their power) . that’s kind of what i meant by “you won’t like this if you like brambleclaw” lol. i dislike his canon character, but in my head hes just a little guy. he’s got great potential and i love him. but that has no place in this au, because conflict is NEEDED.

i hope this doesn’t come across as defensive !!! just trying to explain why i made the decisions i did :) i really appreciate your thoughts and you sending them to me! the entire point of me sharing this blog is to receive suggestions and criticisms.

my intent isn’t to make brambleclaw evil, just an antagonist. i like to imagine if i have him die before squilf gets her lives, like in the final battle of tbc (idk what he’d die to yet though, haven’t reread those books yet), he’d regain mental clarity in starclan and give her a life, for love. <3

[notwarriorswiki]

I'm assuming this was about BrambleSquirrel being on my blog.

Let me make it clear I'm against pedophillic ships and incest. I avoid direct cousins, aunts, uncles, siblings, and parents - that is not ok. Warrior Cats is admittedly hard to completely avoid incest "by definition", but please understand it's working with the best one has. I don't like Willowpelt/Patchpelt, Ashfur being Squirrelflight's aunt, and so many more - so I try to change it.

Any ship that is problematic in the books is often reworked if I'm presenting them in a positive light. BrambleSquirrel is a canon ship within warrior cats that I believe most of us can agree the Erins intend to write to be good, but it sucked. I absolutely support someone not liking BrambleSquirrel, but do know Bramblestar never happens here, Squirrelflight's Hope never happens, and Brambleclaw died for that matter in my rewrite.

BrambleSquirrel didn't become as horrific as it did until after OoTS when editors began to take over more. The Bramble I work with on this blog is largely the New Prophecy, Po3, and OoTS version, who I won't say didn't have issues, but largely weren't nearly as bad as they've become.

So no if anyone starts saying I support abuse because they're in my rewrite, please actually do your research and read my blog about them and how I portray them before you say I'm promoting fictional abuse, especially when I state how much I dislike them in the books.

I do not want discourse about anti vs pro shipping on this blog. It's very black and white and I want no part in that discussion.

[yuridovewing]

If you're really curious to see how it ties into TBC, you could probably just skim Squilf's SE and mostly read any time the sisters show up and the chapters where she's in starclan, I think. But if you want the full context reading in short burts might make it less frustrating than all in one go. Depending on how you plan to rewrite BrambleSquirrel you might also want to see their interactions- but be warned seeing the moment people did (and still do) baby Bramblestar over where he's attempting to intimidate Leafpool out of helping an injured Sister before going 'why are you doing this to me :((((((((((((((((' be portrayed as symapthetic can REALLY make it more frustrating. Actually? Just assume all Bramblestar moments people painted him sympathetic for are on the same tier as Gray Wing moments lmao

yeah, you got a point about reading in short bursts. im sure i would have hated tigerheart's shadow a lot more if i read 2/3s of it in a day like I did with darkest night.

i'll be honest, i don't think i'll read the bramblesquirrel parts. ive already read a lot of their content and i don't think i need to read more, i already know he sucks here and he's one of those characters that makes me uncomfortable the more i think about him. now that i know for sure that i'm not even adapting this or the entirety of tbc anymore, i doubt i'll have much use for this stuff anyways, especially since bramblestar and squirrelflight don't get back together in my au (bramble becomes leader earlier and i'm thinkinggg he will be pulling a pinestar after oots like that one scrapped plotline. in a "run away from your problems" way.)

[thornquillthefiendish]

Currently while drawing this Mapleshade thing I’ve been thinking about an idea I’ve had for awhile and

Would anyone be interested in a rewrite mainly focused on Tnp? Because I’ve been focusing on this part of the series a lot recently and I think it was filled with so many interesting concepts, but sadly laid groundwork for tropes that would either be furthered later on or worsened previous issues from tpb. I just. I really like the idea of a journey in most stories and I wanna write something about that wonderment and danger, and the kind of found family angle that is so easily applicable to these characters is so good.

Some of my ideas rn are

- rework Crowfeathers personality intensely (core asshole will be preserved I just want real development and consequences, and how those consequences will affect him later on)

- more emphasis on how close the prophecy cats get — suddenly interrupted by the jarring realization that things cannot stay this way forever

- maybe hawkpaw tags along too (moth is also important I just want them both to be more heavily mixed into this plot because of the innately interesting stories they have)

- bramblesquirrel won’t happen here — for plenty of reasons personally but also because I think the omen leafpool got could’ve been foreshadowing for something more interesting (coughFirestar adopting all of Tigerstars kidscough)

- ofc, gay

- interpersonal and relationship struggles are explored more so (what is family, where loyalties lie between friends amongst different factions) to kind of highlight a growing issue that is the code just. Not working

- soft rewrite of tpb, things like altered bloodlines, character names, timeline even (I don’t want to rewrite tpb at least now because I feel like that’s easy for me? I don’t love tnp and I wanna challenge myself)

- hawkfrost redemption arc (with real consequences for his actions)

- StarClan revision (benevolent StarClan because while I like evil StarClan I have this really neat narrative idea I think would work well to combat the lack of real progression in the series from a certain standpoint and also I just really don’t want to have them torture squirrel and leaf like in the books it’s so messed up when you think about it)

- I can promise that the story begins very similarly but the direction it’d head towards would be extremely different or at least plays with altering aspects of the story a lot more.

- lots of added stuff and other alterations that will be a surprise :)

I’d also like to know if I should just do that on here or make a separate tumblr, might make things nearer or might give me a better way to schedule things around here.

[guerrastrife]

Soo about my TNP rewrite AU I have 2 options

Bramble is still a -paw when Squirrel borns, becoming a warrior when she becomes an apprentice, Dustpelt letting him being like a second mentor to her to train as a mentor and when the prophecy was showed and Squirrel joins the gang, he's so protective to her well he feels it's his responsibility and then they fell in love

Or

2- Bramble has the canon age, he becomes the mate of Ferncloud (I love that ship) and the reason he doesn't want to leave his territory it's because his kits, Squirrel being like the daughter he needs to care for missing his kits. (Spiderkit and Shrewpaw are half-brothers of Squirrel, being the two toms sons of Dustpelt and Lead and Squirrel daughter's of Fire) (yeah, sand dust and fire have a poly ship)

Being objective the best AU is the 2 but I love Bramblesquirrel and I wish they were good mates each to other (especially Bramble...) *sigh*
