Cloudtail, i wish he kept his love for taking care of elders

[dawnmist-riverclan]

Thinking about how Moonpaw is Firestar & Sandstorm’s great-great-great granddaughter, Squirrelstar & Brambleclaw/Leafpool & Crowfeather’s great-great granddaughter, and Lionblaze & Cinderheart’s great granddaughter (all twice over, yikes). Five of these ancestors are still alive and of those only one is retired, and that’s not even touching all the other grandparent variants like Couldtail (great-great grandfather) and his descendants on other sides of the family she’s quadruple related to Firestar who are also still alive. Maybe these cats are living too long?????

Warrior Cats Human AU

I am aware that some of these images are racially incorrect for genetics - for example, I pictured Crowfeather and Leafpool as caucasian, but they have Hollyleaf, who is African American and Jayfeather is tan, and Lionblaze has golden hair and eyes. Just for safety, I mean no offense, this was just how I pictured the characters. 

All art isn't mine.

The Prophecy Begins

The New Prophecy

The Power of the Three

Omen of the Stars

Warrior Cats Human Headcannons - Through The Generations

- Bluestar thinks of Fireheart as the son she never got to raise - she would constantly give him advice on warrior and personal life

- When she found out Oakheart died, she locked herself in her room for days and cried. The entire clan was worried and thought she was grieving over Redtail - which she was. It broke her heart when she found out how 2 people she loved died in the same day

- Whenever she would meet with Crookedstar during a Gathring he would quietly whisper how her children were doing. Bluestar could never convey how grateful she was for that. 

- She and Yellowfang would often hang out together - first out of courtesy, then as genuine friends. Bluestar appreciated her scathing honesty

- She and Whitestorm use to pass time by looking over the clan and telling each other who would end up with who. Bluestar could already tell when Graystripe was meeting up with Silverstream - after all, she fell in love with a Riverclan person as well. Whitestorm and her automatically agreed that Sandstorm would fall for Fireheart first, and facepalmed at how oblivious he was. 

- Firestar sometimes has PTSD nightmares about Tigerstar and the only thing that can calm him down is Graystripe

- Fireheart and Graystripe patiently listened to Ravenpaw as he would ramble on and on about Barley when they visited him. They were the ones to help him come out and encouraged him to confess 

- Him and Sandstorm have the Hiccstrid vibe. She is the only one who has the brain cell between him and Graystripe

- When Firestar and Sandstorm got together, Graystripe pulled her aside and tried to give her the “you break his heart and I’ll break your neck” speech. She couldn't hold in her laugh and he was humiliated. Still, she promised to take care of him 

- Firestar cried when Cloudtail and Brightheart got married - so did Couldtail as his future wife walked down the aisle like a beautiful warrior princess. He couldn’t stop himself from telling her how beautiful she was over and over again. When they were pronounced husband and wife the whole Thunderclan was crying. 

- Leafpool and Squirrelflight are twins. Squirrelflight is a daddy’s girl and Leafpool is a mommy’s girl. Sandstorm and Firestar were so proud when Leafpool said she wanted to be a medicine person. Squirrelflight had rolled her eyes while having a gazillion twigs and leaves in her hair

- Squirrelflight was that hyperactive little kid you could never take your eyes off of or else she'd kill herself. Loved giving Firestar heart attacks and gave Sandstorm her first grey hairs. Leafpool was an angel sent from Starclan 

- Squirrelflight was 17 when she ran away to go on the journey. Brambleclaw had just become 19, Tawneypelt was 19, Crowfeather was 17, and Feathertail and Stormfur were 18. 

- All of them have the friendship of the Breakfast Club - you wouldn’t expect it, but they have that bond for life.

- Brambleclaw was Squirrelflight’s first kiss. It was in the heat of the moment where Brambleclaw had nearly died, and it was like fireworks had gone off

- Everyone was heartbroken when Feathertail was killed. Stormfur lost his sister. Crowfeather lost his first love. Tawneypelt, Brambleclaw, and Squirrelflight lost a friend

- Leafpool and Crowfeather began growing close on the journey to the lake. She wanted to get closer to him out of sympathy, he resisted (naturally), but soon he was opening up to her. He would tell her his deepest feelings and she would confess things she hadn't even told her own sister. By the time they reached the lake, Leafpool realized she had feelings for him and Crowfeather was already in denial.

- Squirrelflight had no idea what Leafpool saw in Crowfeather, but they brought out something beautiful in each of them. Feathertail had softened Crowfeather’s heart, but Leafpool opened it. And Leafpool … Squirrelflight didn’t know what Crowfeather did, but she saw something new in her sister that made her heart swell and ache.

- Squirrelflight and Brambleclaw decided they didn’t want to get married. Leafpool had just rejoined the clan after running away, and was considered a disgrace to the clan. Having her sister get married right after was … Squirrelflight didn’t want to go there. Instead, she and Brambleclaw got matching tattoos.

- When Leafpool found out she was pregnant, her whole world came crashing down. The clan was finally starting to trust her again, Firestar and Sandstorm had stopped looking at her with pitying looks, and the clan had stopped looking suspicious when she said she was going to collect herbs.

- Squirrelflight immediately sensed something wrong and got the truth out of Leafpool. She offered to help and told Firestar that they would be gone on a journey because Leafpool had a vision. They both hesitated at the idea of telling Crowfeather, but ultimately went to the Windclan border to see him. Leafpool was heartbroken and Squirrelflight was outraged when they found out that he was with Nightcloud.

- "HOW IN THE NAME OF STARCLAN DID CROWFEATHER GET 3 GIRLS?!" – Squirrelflight

- Jayfeather, Lionblaze, and Hollyleaf are triplets and grow up under the assumption of Squirrelflight and Brambleclaw as their parents.

- (You know how the rest goes)

- For a long time Jayfeather refused to have a cane to help him walk because he thought it would make others think he is weak because he is blind. It was only when he found “The Stick!” when he decided that that would be his cane. No exceptions.

- When Jayfeather officially became a medicine person his grandpa Firestar constantly came by to ask him if there were any herbs to cure his wrinkles. He even got Graystripe and the elders in on it to ask him if there are any herbs to cure their oldness. Jayfeather hates them a little more each time.

- Jayfeather learned to swear from Squirrelflight. She would curse, he would repeat it, and Brambleclaw would just be like, “Why?” Jayfeather gets immense joy whenever he makes Hollyleaf swear, she thinks she’s so much better than that.

- When Jayfeather was an apprentice he would be sent to the elder’s den to “think about what he’s done.” Jayfeather would seethe, but he eventually he actually liked being with the elders. He would sit and complain, and the elders would back him up 110%. Firestar regrets everything.

- Before, Jayfeather hated how he was defined by his blindness. Growing up, it made him bitter and desperate to prove himself. Now, he just wants the clan to remember he’s blind. He’s contantly asked if he can check something out, if he can read this writing, ect. The whole clan forgot he’s blind and he’s irritated at their stupidity.

- After Jayfeather got his full name Hollyleaf took the opportunity to gift him the feathers of a blue jay and spent time braiding them into his hair. Hollyleaf also has a holly tied into her ponytail. Lionblaze was feeling left out so they made him a bracelet.

- Lionblaze and Hollyleaf fought like cats and dogs when they were apprentices, and made it the whole clan’s problem. Sandstorm had to break up the fights because she was the only one they listened too.

- As much as they hate to admit it, the three of them feel a connection to Windclan. It happens with all half-clan, where they feel the longing towards one Clan while the other is drawn into the one they’re born in. Hollyleaf always felt this need to run, as fast and hard as she can. Jayfeather likes the open space, the vastness of the land and moor. Lionblaze likes the feeling of wind, how it can be gentle or harsh against his skin.

- Dovewing and Ivypool are twins and the younger cousins of Lionblaze, Hollyleaf, and Jayfeather (idk, maybe 2nd cousins or something). Lionblaze and Dovewing are best friends, Ivypool is Hollyleaf’s favorite cousin, and Jayfeather, well … it’s been 0 days since they last sassed Jayfeather

- They are heartbroken when they find out Hollyleaf is “dead” because they were just about to become apprentices and Hollyleaf promised to be there.

- Dovewing has always had enhanced hearing, so she always assumed that everyone can hear what she did but never talked about it. When she was younger, she would talk about faraway things she’d heard but everyone thought she was just imagining.

- Dovewing doesn’t get overwhelmed by the noises she can hear because she’s had her powers since she was born. She’s learned how to tune it out/in. However, she hates loud noises. They take her by surprise and makes her feel like her eardrums split open.

- When that happens she sometimes goes to Jayfeather to help her out. He has a calming presence and the quiet and gentle brushes of herbs soothe her. He doesn’t say anything and neither does she. There’s no need.

- Part of the reason that Ivypool became so jealous of Dovewing was that all of the sudden her cousins would have secret discussions with Dovewing and exclude her. Hollyleaf would never have done that if she was still alive.

- Ivypool used to have hair past her shoulders, but had it cut in a pixie style after a Dark Forest warrior pulled on it to expose her throat. After the Clans defeated the Dark Forest, she grew it out to her chin as a sign of healing and moving on.

- After they became warriors, Dovewing, Ivypool, Briarlight, and Blossomfall became roommates. After Briarlight’s accident she moved in with Jayfeather, but sometimes she comes in to have a girls night.

- Briarlight and Jayfeather are opposites but compliment each other in the best way. She is bright and happy and he’s calm and collected. Jayfeather is a pessimist and she’s an optimist.

- All of the medicine people from the Clans always ask about Briarlight, she has them wrapped around her finger. They always sneak extra sweets for her whenever they visit Jayfeather

- Briarlight considered it a personal win when she finally got Jayfeather admit that they were friends. Jayfeather was overwhelmed by the swell of happiness that radiated from her the rest of the day.

- They have a saying that they use when no one is around. Whenever one of them is having a bad day, they go and cheer each other up by saying, “I’ll be your legs.” “And I’ll be your eyes.” They help each other and its beautiful.

- Briarlight used to love singing and dancing when she had her legs, so when she lost them she was depressed. After Jayfeather helped her out of it, she began humming and singing again

- The first time Jayfeather heard her sing his head whipped around because it was the most beautiful sound he’s ever heard. And for the first time in forever, Briarlight was happy as she restocked herbs while singing.

- Jayfeather grumbles about the noise but still encourages her to sing because it’ll help clear her lungs. Secretly, he likes hearing her voice. Briarlight knows he likes it.

- Jayfeather has too much pride to actually confess his feelings and Briarlight is afraid to ruin their relationship. Both are so awkward with their feeling but they don’t even realize they act like a couple until Lionblaze or Dovewing points it out. Sometimes when Leafpool watches them she’s reminded of her and Crowfeather

Couldcat and CouldTail would be friends...can someone make art of Couldcat and CouldTail together?

(CouldTail is from Warrior cats)

Hmm…I don’t know a lot about Warriors, but somebody else could make that art a reality! I think they would get along!

Chapter Four

Lionpaw had managed to get a nest settled between Cinderpaw and Berrypaw, both greeting him with nothing but kindness. He was surprised of Berrypaw’s warmth after not wanting anything to do with him, but Lionpaw thought that maybe Berrypaw was making up for being cold. Cinderpaw at least had apologized, saying Couldtail worked her too hard some days.

Lionpaw didn’t mind so much with the molly, she wasn’t mean and rude like Berrypaw, and she seemed to genuinely enjoy talking to Lionpaw.

“What can you smell?” Brackenfur asked, pulling Lionpaw from his thoughts.

He parted his jaws, deep in thought. It smelled different here, he could smell the water and the earthen scents, but another scent was strong there. “It smells strange.” He answered at last, scrunching up his nose slightly as he looked up to his mentor.

Brackenfur nodded. “That’s right, and it should, we’re at the WindClan border. Remember their scent.” Lionpaw nodded, taking a moment to drink in their scent despite wanting to gag.

“Halt! Who goes there?” Lionpaw jerked his head up, rushing towards them on the other side of the stream was a patrol consisting of four cats, two brown tabbies, a silver tabby, and a black cat. One of the brown tabbies had called out to Brackenfur and Lionpaw, he wasn’t sure who they were, but the silver tabby and black cat were about his size while the two brown tabbies were Brackenfur’s size. Two mentors and their apprentices.

“It’s alright, Lionpaw, we’ve done nothing wrong.” Lionpaw looked up at Brackenfur and nodded at his mentor’s hushed words, the older tom sitting down. “Greetings, Onestar.” Lionpaw followed lead as he sat down, dipping his head as Brackenfur had done.

The larger of the two brown tabbies came to a stop across from them, tail lashing. “What are you doing so close to our border?” He demanded, Lionpaw assuming this was Onestar.

“I was showing Lionpaw the borders, he just became an apprentice tonight.” Onestar stared at them before he too sat down, the other three cats sitting down as well.

Onestar let out a small hum as he gestured to the two smaller cats. “This is Jaypaw and Hollypaw, they became apprentices the night before.” Onestar was quiet for a moment. “I, too, was showing Jaypaw the border, Owlwhisker joined us with Hollypaw.”

Jaypaw gave a small nod, a small smirk on his face. “Our dumb brother didn’t want to come with us, he wanted to start training to fight right away.” The tabby tom sneered, Hollypaw letting out a snicker beside him.

Lionpaw didn’t mean to, but he started at Jaypaw, startled to see his odd blue eyes. “What’s wrong with your eyes?” Lionpaw blurted out, regretting it almost instantly as Jaypaw bristled and stood, the other three WindClan cat’s tensing up.

“What’s it to you? Never seen a blind cat before?” Lionpaw saw Onestar set his tail on Jaypaw’s back but the apprentice didn’t stand down. “How about you come over here and get a better look, then I can claw your muzzle!” Jaypaw spat, moving to enter the water.

Lionpaw jumped to his paws, moving to stand behind Brackenfur. “Jaypaw! Stop! The warrior code says not to trespass!” Hollypaw gripped his tail and gave a small yank, pulling him back.

Onestar let out a small growl as he glared at Jaypaw. “It was not a malicious comment, Jaypaw, ThunderClan doesn’t know a true warrior when they see one.” Lionpaw felt his fur bristle, and he could see Brackenfur grow uneasy as he stood up.

“Yes, only a true warrior of WindClan would almost drown in the shallow stream, you owe us, Onestar. Let’s not forget that.” Lionpaw noticed Hollypaw moved to hide behind Owlwhisker, looking rather embarrassed.

Onestar snarled at Brackenfur before rising to his paws, fur flattening almost instantly. “You Thunder cats think you’re so clever, you won’t be on top forever.” Onestar turned and lead the apprentices and warrior away, Jaypaw giving one last growl at Lionpaw before stalking after his mentor.

Lionpaw waited until they were out of sight before turning to Brackenfur. “Are all WindClan cats like that?” The tabby tom looked down and gave a half nod.

“A few, yes, but it seems that Jaypaw /is/ blind, I wouldn’t want a stranger commenting on it either.” Lionpaw looked at the ground in shame, he hadn’t meant to insult the other apprentice. “And you’ve seen blind cats before, what was that about?”

“Longtail isn’t naturally blind! And Brightheart doesn’t count, she’s missing a whole eye!” Brackenfur let out a snort of amusement before turning back towards camp.

“Let’s head back, I’m sure you’re tired by now. Plus, the gathering is soon and I want you well rested.” Lionpaw nodded, his heart racing as the squabble with Jaypaw slipped from his thoughts. His first gathering!

.:.

Hollypaw could still feel the heat in her ears as she glanced back at the two ThunderClan cats, both toms growing smaller as they padded away. She turned to look up at Owlwhisker, their eyes meeting. “Does every cat know about the drowning thing?” Owlwhisker let out a short laugh as he slowed their pace slightly.

“Only ThunderClan, I’m sure Leafpool told Firestar, and you know how fast gossip spreads in a camp. I’d be surprised if they didn’t know.” Hollypaw felt her ear grow even hotter as she hung her head.

“At least you weren’t made fun of.” Jaypaw spat, tail lashing still.

Onestar rolled his eyes as he gently bumped Jaypaw, throwing the apprentice off balance slightly. “He wasn’t making fun of you, and you need to stop picking fights that are not worth it.” Jaypaw let out a huff, Hollypaw able to tell he wanted to storm ahead but couldn’t. They were too far out of camp for Jaypaw to properly gauge his surroundings, and the silver tabby knew it too.

“Well, that warrior made fun of me, that's worse than some dumb apprentice.” Hollypaw muttered, ears flat to her head.

Jaypaw turned and gently nuzzled her, walking beside her. “It's not like he knew it was you, Leafpool would be rabbit brained to describe everything in great detail.” Hollypaw couldn’t take comfort in his words, her mind racing with fear. Is that how I’ll be remembered? “Besides, you should be happy!” She glanced over to her brother, surprised he switched to a happy tone so quickly. Maybe he was trying to forget about his ruined pride as well. “It’ll be our first gathering! We can meet other warriors and apprentices!”

Onestar let out a small laugh as he looked down at Jaypaw, smirking at the silver tabby. “And what makes you so sure you’re going?” Jaypaw and Hollypaw fell silent as they looked to one another, Hollypaw glancing at Owlwhisker as he let out a laugh.

“Of course you two will be going, new apprentices are the pride of all Clans.” Hollypaw smiled up at her mentor, feeling like she was suddenly filled with energy.

Owlwhisker and Onestar shared a look, they seemed to be in high spirits like her as well. “How about we race back, whoever wins gets the fattest rabbit tonight.” Hollypaw and Jaypaw beamed up at their leader as they nodded. Onestar glanced across the open field before looking back to the apprentices. “It should be a clear run for you, Jaypaw, there’s no rocks from here to camp.”

Jaypaw was quiet for a moment, and Hollypaw wasn’t sure if he was thinking of being snarky or was suddenly upset. “Well, it’s a good thing to know, since I’m going!” Jaypaw suddenly sprinted off, Hollypaw and the two warriors letting out laughs as they chased after the small tabby tom.

“No fair!” Hollypaw called with a laugh, Jaypaw not slowing down.

She narrowed her eyes as she smirked slightly, pushing harder into the ground with each step, taking longer strides. She outpaced Owlwhisker and Onestar easily, and she was steadily approaching Jaypaw.

Hollypaw was almost taken aback with how fast she was, her legs felt stronger than they had ever been. It wasn’t ever like this before, she would race and tussle with her brothers, but they were all about the same speed. Whatever it was causing this, it felt good to speed past Jaypaw and knowing she’d get the plumpest rabbit tonight.
