Drew these a LONG time ago lmao

Ok, context:

I was listening to Ex-Wives from SIX the Musical and this popped into my head.

Let me explain. Let me show my VISION

Spottedleaf is Catherine of Aragon. In the song, Catherine says "My loyalty is to the Vatican", so she's religious based, and Spottedleaf whole job is also religious based.

Quince is Anne Boleyn. "I broke England from the Church". Replace "England" with "Thistleclaw" and "Church" with "ThunderClan/Warrior Code/ect/"

Snowfur is Jane Seymour. "Only one he truly loved". "When my son was newly born, I died" <-RIGHT ON THE MONEY!

Grasswhisker is Anna of Cleaves. "But I didn't look as good as I did in my pic". Didn't turn out as "pretty" as Thistlestar thought she'd be.

Primroseleaf is Katherine Howard. Now, this is the one and only place where it gets iffy, because Katherine lost her head for promiscuity and Primroseleaf does not do that. So, you could think of it as a type of rebelliousness on Katherine's part, and Primrose is a literal Rebel.

And finally.

Feathertail is Catherine Parr. "I'm the survivor". Feathertail is the only "love interest" of Thistlestar who managed to avoid his advances.

and "I becha you wanna know how she got this far, hey!" :D

IT FITS LIKE A GLOVE!

gwaystwipe

the man! the headcanon that his father is Ashfur (from ShadowClan, not Assfur) comes from @nugs-art! obviously it was mentioned quite a few times in early Burning Thistles, but it’s kind of faded out of BT, since Willowpelt kept it hush-hush and Graystripe never learned who his father was (though had mild suspicions, not about who or what clan or anything, just a feeling of “hm. my father probably wasn’t ThunderClan,” but he never cared)

Graystripe being Fireheart’s apprentice in BT is honestly my favorite thing! personally I would have made them less friends that way just so Fire could be way angrier and Graystripe more secretive when the whole Silverstream thing happened. but also who could stop FireGray from being besties?

so! his identity! while canon Graystripe is a total Bi Bitch, BT Graystripe gives So Many Hetero Vibes it’s flabbergasting lol. like im sorry but i cant imagine him as anything but a straight man. But! that being said, his flags are as follows: hetero to bi-curious to gynesexual (and/or femsexual, womasexual, gynosexual). He is attracted to woman or highly feminine-presenting people. this specification of his “masc guy attracted to fem” is due to spoilers >;)

(also i was very tempted to put Feathercloud as an ex friend. Graystripe really left him in the dust for his apprentice to pick up the pieces, huh? though I wonder if Graystripe thinks of Feathercloud when he thinks of Featherkit)

no context spoilers for a thought process behind my next maybe-project

“haha Creekflower is the ‘frightened princess’ because Lightningfur views her as a princess bcus she needed ‘saving’”

“....”

“YOU DUMB FUCK HER NAME IS PRINCESS-”

Welcome to the Official Burning Thistles AU Blog!

What is Burning Thistles? Burning Thistles, or it’s extended/original workshop title, Burning Spotted Thistles, is a warrior cats au where Fireheart--and his siblings--are the kits of Spottedpaw/leaf and Thistleclaw. The idea was originally started by @alollinglaughingcat and then expanded and co-written with @firealder2005 to create the fanfiction Burning Thistles on ArchiveOfOurOwn.

Additionally, here is the Wiki for Burning Thistles (currently unfinished)

CONTENT/TRIGGER WARNINGS: PEDOPHILIA, grooming of minors, non-platonic/familial romantic/sexual relationships between minor(s) and adult(s), implied/referenced sexual harassment/assault/non-consensual/rape, lying/cheating, toxic/abusive relationships, family-based manipulation, general manipulation, mental health state deterioration, queerphobia/LGBTQ+phobia, internalized hatred, self-hate (please note that NONE OF THIS is SUPPORTED or intentionally GLORIFIED by us, pedophiliac relationships are WRONG - pro-shippers DNI!)

Information on Us:

@alollinglaughingcat - Call me Lolling! Any pronouns welcome, though she/her is used primarily for me by others.

@firealder2005 - Feel free to call me Alder, much less of a mouthful! I prefer she/her pronouns, and have an additional Warrior cats Time Travel Fix-It series on Ao3.
