Is there any lore for breezeshadow for a little bit? Not sure on how was the clan formed, but how close was she to Scorchstar?

breaks knuckles. i mean cracks knuckles.

Scorchstar and Breezeshadow were half-clan kits from two of the clans that lived in the area, Boughclan and Tuftclan. Their father, Duskrise, lived in the grassy meadows of Tuftclan, while their mother, Rubyfall, lived in the dense pine forests of Boughclan. For the clans there, half-clan relationships were strictly forbidden--even more so than in Fallenclan. It was a harsh time of ruthless leadership, and breaking the rules could end not only in exile, but occasionally in death.

When Rubyfall discovered she was expecting kits, she fled from Boughclan, knowing that it was no longer only her life in danger. She did not tell Duskrise where she was going, knowing that if she did, he would follow, and be forced to leave his family (whom he loved) behind. She did not want him to have to make that choice, and so let him and the rest of the clans believe that she had died.

She had her two daughters in the wilderness and, sentimentally, gave them warrior names rather than loner ones--Scorchkit and Breezekit. When the kits were seven moons old, she contracted an illness that slowly killed her, though her dear herb-inclined daughter, newly named Breezeshadow, tried everything she could to save her. Breezeshadow decided to dedicate her life to healing, and spent many moons wandering the world and healing everyone she could, followed by her protective older sister, Scorchback, who would frequently save her from the situations she got herself into.

They had been told tales of Boughclan and Tuftclan from their mother, but no specifics--Rubyfall didn't want them to live that life that she had, bloody and terrible. She had done her best to paint it in a bad light, but Breezeshadow, young and naive and viewing the world through rose-tinted glasses, always dreamed of finding the place she belonged and becoming a medicine cat there. When she got word of where the clans could be found, she dragged Scorchback on a days-long journey there, before they finally arrived at the border. Scorchback knew it was a bad decision, and begged her sister not to go, but knew that short of physically holding her back, there was nothing she could do to stop her, and resolved to do what she always had--protect her.

When Breezeshadow and Scorchback crossed into the Boughclan border, they were discovered by a patrol, who saw their resemblance to their father, Duskrise, and assumed they were Tuftclan cats, attacking them instantly. Scorchback was a good fighter, but untrained, and couldn't protect them both. She managed to drag her sister away, but Breezeshadow died of her injuries a few days later, unable to use her knowledge of herbs on herself.

Scorchback spent many, many moons after that without a purpose. Her family, the one cat she had dedicated her life to, was gone. At one point, she spent perhaps a year trying to build a group of rogues to lead an attack against Boughclan to avenge her sister, but was unable to keep the group together with only the sole purpose of vengeance, and was smart enough to realize that she couldn't fight them on her own. Finally, she realized there was nothing she could do except move on, and so she did--traveling as far as she could from her homeland and eventually finding herself on a boat, which took her overseas to a new, mountainous land. The pine trees there reminded her of Boughclan, in a way, but as she watched the sun rise over the rocks on her first morning there, she vowed to create something greater than them--which was, in a way, its own vengeance.

She named the clan after her mother and after the way the rocks tumbled down the slope--Fallenclan. She met Nettlestem, and Oaktuft, and Wildfang, and the latter showed her a small cave under a pile of rocks, which was lit with glowing mushrooms. When Scorchback fell asleep there, she smiled at her sister again.

Scorchback became Scorchstar, and vowed to do better than Boughclan ever had.

💬 Do you read more in the morning, afternoon, evening or at night? . I definitely read the most at night. It’s a wonderful way for me to relax after a long day. I also enjoy reading in the morning on weekends with a cozy blanket and warm cup of coffee. . Thank you to @tlcbooktours & @posthillpress for gifting me this gorgeous copy of Ruby Falls by @deborahroyce! This gothic thriller sounds absolutely fantastic! Is this one on your radar yet? . . . s u m m a r y ⇣ Like the chilling psychological thriller The Silent Patient, Deborah Goodrich Royce’s Ruby Falls is a nail-biting tale of a fragile young actress, the new husband she barely knows, and her growing suspicion that the secrets he harbors may eclipse her own. On a brilliantly sunny July day, six-year-old Ruby is abandoned by her father in the suffocating dark of a Tennessee cave. Twenty years later, transformed into soap opera star Eleanor Russell, she is fired under dubious circumstances. Fleeing to Europe, she marries a glamorous stranger named Orlando Montague and keeps her past closely hidden. Together, Eleanor and Orlando start afresh in LA. Setting up house in a storybook cottage in the Hollywood Hills, Eleanor is cast in a dream role—the lead in a remake of Rebecca. As she immerses herself in that eerie gothic tale, Orlando’s personality changes, ghosts of her past re-emerge, and Eleanor fears she is not the only person in her marriage with a secret. In this thrilling and twisty homage to Daphne du Maurier’s Rebecca, the story ricochets through the streets of Los Angeles, a dangerous marriage to an exotic stranger, and the mind of a young woman whose past may not release her. . . . h a s h t a g s ⇣ #RubyFalls #psychologicalthriller #pageturner #bookclub #tlcbooktours #bookstagram #cozybooks #cozybookstagram #booknerd #bookishlove #bookrecommendations #readerscommunity #readersofinstagram #instareads #instabookstagram #aquietstyle #quiteoftheday #everysquarestory #apartmenttherapy #homedecor #hyggelife #hyggedecor #neutralstyle #cosyhome (at Connecticut) https://www.instagram.com/p/COvScyCNyAH/?igshid=456e2cnhnxfx

Mute America logo 1994/1995 This is still the longest running project I have ever worked on. From the start to the finished product was almost a year. Every step of the way we were, “almost there.” ...this was also the first time I encountered, middle management. One of the team members at Mute saw one of my posters, for my band Hippopotamus, in the window of Brownies. The small illustration is what got him most excited. After hundreds of sketches, some completely ridiculous and others too elaborate we settled on a style. Ironically this was one of the first ideas / sketches I had. I used the log cabin font for other projects including a logo for our band, when we were known as Mulch. The first ad that introduced Mute America ran with a quick version of the lettering but was soon refined. Oh yeah, they originally wanted to call it “Mute In America,” because someone said it sounded like, “mutant.” #PatJamesLongo #brushandink #graphicdesign #illustration #drawing #comix #lettering #typography #branding #brand #logos #logodesigns #logodesigner #MuteAmerica #MuteRecords @MuteRecords #Vitapup #TeamDresch @therealteamdresch #RubyFalls #sketch #sketches https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp8dl_UFERk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=dmk4drlc96ev
