#sanders sides warriors au

[lavender-actualy-posts-shit]

Tumblr hasn’t let me post this for the past few(seven) times I’ve tried, please, just let this work out for me

Anyway, Warrior cats Au!! Because why not!!

Please just…. Just let me post this, tumblr

[hysteriafossil]

me when anything i like: ...ok but what if they were cats notes abt the hypothetical au these designs exist in below the cut :3

-still deciding on where exactly darkclans territory and camp will be, either in an alleyway or in a dilapidated house/greenhouse... either way theyre very close to thomas's house! -speaking of thomas, he is the owner of the 4 cats that make up lightclan! -they arent reeeally a clan, being made up of kittypets and all, its basically just them roleplaying -this makes darkclan really mad -"erm, why are these KITTYPETS pretending to have the hard life of a WARRIOR" -even though they themselves r basically just rogues and also have a kittypet for their healer. theyre just petty -rattlestar does NOT have 9 lives no matter how much she says she does -also, her warrior name was rattleshade! (probably... this is subject to change if i ever think of a better one) -virgil (warrior name a wip, probably gonna have something to do with storms and spiders), used to be a member of darkclan, before being adopted by thomas -the cloak rattlestar wears used to be virgils :(

-thomas has tried several times to befriend roadkill and rattlestar, to no avail -he is also just very confused as to why it seems that his cats and those strays seem to have a very personal beef. he swears he sees them arguing -yes he is still allergic to cats here. its funny

-roadkill has HELLA fleas and ticks -as such, he must sleep on the couch (in a seperate nest from rattle) 😔 one like equals one flea and tick medication for roadkill

[hungrylikethepuma]

ermm … posted Janus and Remus warrior cats designs awhile ago .. these are old but I like them ig … patton is deputy , Logan is a med cat , Roman is a moron , and Virgil is like .. a swift paw situation . Patton is deputy and not like Roman or Logan bc he’s like .. kinda Thomas’s favorite . I think med cat fits Logan better bc hes smarty pants

Fandom song animatic tournament: Side A Round 1

Your Stupid Face - Kaden MacKay

"I just really like your face You don't have to look so happy I'm not really into love that you flaunt In some glittery font But if that's what you want Make it snappy"

Ready as I'll ever be - Tangled the series

"So gather around now (ooh) It's time to sing It's bittersweet (ooh) but it's a hell of a silver lining I tell the same old stories As y'all get your wings And I get better every time I kiss a weathered cheek And watching doves fly Sooner than me I guess I'm ready, ready as I'll never be"

Remember that we're voting on how Iconic they are for ANIMATICS, not for the song itself. In order to make things fair, the tone and mood of the song should not affect how iconic it is (for example, a serious song should not be considered more iconic than a joke song just because it's serious)

Propaganda and animatic links of the songs under the cut:

Your Stupid Face - Kaden MacKay

Propaganda:

Ultimate enemies to lovers potential as it starts with tge singer hating the other party and slowly growing to love them. Also has an excellent tma animatic (haven't watched any other animatics for it but a quick search shows there's a lot)

Animatics with the song:

Helluva Boss Stolas x Blitz

Don't Starve Together Wxwood

The Magnus Archives

DSMP TNTduo

Toilet Bound Hanako Kun Mitsuba Animatic

HFJONE Sodapack

Ready as I'll ever be - Tangled the series

Propaganda:

I can list at least three full animatics for this song for every major fandom I have ever been a part of, and still it's so hard to find them because there are so goddamn many

It's an absolute banger from the absolute King Alan Menken, originally from the pretty underrated Tangled the Series. I've seen animatics for this for like every fandom I can think of, and it deserves it because it slaps and has great vocal performances from Jeremy Jordan and Eden Espinosa.

i'm pretty sure this song is more well known than the show it came from is lol. i looked up "ready as i'll ever be animatic" on youtube just to confirm and counted 20+ of them, and i didn't even finish scrolling. it is a genuinely really good song from a /surprisingly/ good show that imo is super underrated. i definitely would recommend checking it out if you get the opportunity!

it's a fandom song that transcended its fandom and became a hit for twist villains.

The song really fosters creativity with how many animatics can create a darker AU where the usual protagonist (or a close associate) is made to be the antagonist because of injustice suffered and the other characters have to fight against them

I've seen *at least* one animatic of this song in almost every fandom I've looked into

It has a lot of Animaniacs because it is sung by an ensemble cast It is good for demonstrating a lot of different conflicting perspectives of characters for your big dramatic fight and its catchy and I love it

I mean everyone loves a scenario where one of the main cast becomes a villain for tragic reasons and the rest of the characters have to fight them while dealing with the betrayal and attempting to make them see reason

How in the actual hell does a song from a Tangled spinoff series go this spectacularly hard? More to the point, how does it have an animatic/AMV for practically EVERY FANDOM IN EXISTENCE?! Yeah, most people know it from that one Warrior Cats MAP, but there is SO much more. Not to mention the bucketloads of people who used this song for their own OCs, which is always a bonus.

Animatics with the song:

Star Vs The Forces Of Evil

Miraculous Ladybug

Sander Sides

Danganronpa V3 fantasy AU

BNHA Villain Deku Animatic

DSMP

Please keep in mind that I don't know all the media and fandoms of the animatics provided as examples and I don't have the time (nor the will) to research them all. Don't come into my notes or my ask box complaining about them being included, I will simply block you. HOWEVER, if a ship animatic includes a minor and an adult, do tell me, I'll remove it.

[zeni1098]

I have a whole ass danganronpa sander sides au. The Junko Enoshima is a guy called “Despair” that just wants everyone rid suffer. To make the cast bigger there are more sides that are uncanon. It has a storyline ofc. The main 6 manage for find a way to come back to life even after executions and dying but not side characters lol.

There’s lots of Monokumas lol

D1= despair monokuma who’s just a toy

MonoRo=Monokumw in D2

MonoRe=monomi

Monokubs=logic cubs who are robot Logan’s with different tie colours lol

Kurokuma=KuroPat

Shirokuma=ShiroLo

Edited: Warriors of hope= Bunch of kids with the core sides emblems as masks. Trying to make an “outskirts” only paradise. (Outskirts are sides that aren’t core sides)

Jataro=girl that where Remus’s emblem

Nagisa=Boy that wears Logan’s emblem

Masaru=boy that wears Roman’s emblem

Kotoko=2 boys that wear Virgil and Pattons emblems

Monica=2 boys that wear Patton and Janus’s emblems

(They just sort of disappear after getting defeated but show up without the masks and live on their own)

Meta post for the fic But Someday the Sun Will Shine

About the AU:

I have to admit, I'm a little nervous about this one. It's a love letter to a setting I adore, but I've tried to keep it accessible for folks unfamiliar with Fallout. I was nervous enough about this that I sought out someone to beta, which I don't normally do.

(And then I chose to largely disregard much of their advice, so...make of that what you will.)

I play a lot of Fallout, mainly Fallout 4 and some Fallout 76. For the most part it's a practice in ignoring the main quest and focusing on survival and settlement building and just...experiencing life in the setting as immersively as possible. It's such an interesting setting, and there's such a unique vibe I get wandering the wastes in-game, and I wanted to try to bring some of that to the story.

Fic notes:

The AU was just going to be character profiles to scratch the itch of wanting the AU to exist. But then I thought about Virgil and Janus. They always have to have a complicated past together, after all. At first I imagined some kind of past betrayal, until it occurred to me that because Virgil was a ghoul he could have known Janus for a very long time...

And then I realized they were family and everything just clicked. Suddenly there was a story.

(Though still one that fought me for every inch as I tried to bring it together.)

Outside of Fallout, I think the strongest influences on this fic were post-Apocalyptic movies like Waterworld and The Road Warrior where the gruff wasteland survivor is contrasted with a child still vulnerable as they're learning the lessons of surviving the harsh world they live in.

In my WIPs, I usually write Janus as the father figure/uncle/older brother, so...I was wholly unprepared for the son-boyification of him in this fic. At every turn, I was either "help, he's so cute" or "help him I'm going to cry..."

(Also, I guess this is technically the first shedding fic I've written? Always meant to get around to that. Might do a proper one down the line...)

There are still a lot of questions left unanswered about Janus's past in this. And boy is there a story there. I do hope to write more in this universe. Specifically, I have an interesting idea for a fic taking place in Black Lake.

I may get around to writing about the others too...eventually.

Writing a Post-Apocalyptic story from the POV of the personification of Anxiety was...an experience. Virgil is simultaneously extremely well and very badly suited to the world he lives in. He is so normal in a setting where literally everything is out to get you.

I also love him as a ghoul in that context. No one really understands why some ghouls go feral the minute they change and others years down the line, while still others have managed to live otherwise normal lives for more than two centuries, and I imagine living with that question would be nerve-wracking.

Cover Art: I love doing covers for my fics. I did this one in the style of one of the in-game collectable magazines, and I had a lot of fun designing it.

The character figures were designed in HeroForge. The background is a screenshot from Fallout 4.

Playlist: This playlist is both thematic and what I listened to while writing. A lot of it is instrumental music, and some of it is fan music for the Fallout games that I thought fit well with the vibe of the story.

I have a genuine appreciation to Sanders Sides for introducing me to the music of Marco Belloni (who composed Janus's theme, "Mysterious Paths"). Amazing instrumental music. I've got playlists for several of my other WIPs, and he's wound up on all of them.

It was also a happy accident that the Fallout theme cover was done by Celestial Aeon project. I only found out after that they did Virgil's theme.

I'll also always use an excuse to throw Miracle of Sound on any playlist as well, because his music is genuinely amazing. But…I found him through his Fallout songs, so…

I really feel like his songs capture the themes of "fragile hope among the despair" that is what I love about Fallout and is the overall vibe in my fic. "Some Things Never Change" and "Wasteland Soul" both really capture the feeling of wanting to build something in a place where it feels like it should be futile. And that's Janus's story arc in this AU, to a T.

remembrance - sanders sides/warriors au

To say that Cherrystrike wasn't nervous was to say that the sun was black.

Cherrystrike still felt the feeling of teeth digging into his shoulder, near his neck. It was only a feel inches away from his throat, it he had only been accurate on his blow, he might've had given him a death blow on the throat. Cherrystrike still remembers claws digging into his back, shredding fur. He also remembered the way his eyes were filled with anguish and heartbreak.

Cherrystrike still shivers to this day. The more he thinks about it, the more Cherrystrike is to blamed. If he had not had that affair with that SnakeClan tom, none of this would've happened. His sweet, sweet, innocent but feisty Batwhisper would still be here, standing next to him.

Except, Batwhisper was now in the sky, filled with anguish and hatred and anger.

All because Cherrystrike decided to have that stupid affair with Poppycloud.

"Cherrystrike?"

Cherrystrike blinked out of his thoughts and turned his head. Next to him stood his apprentice, Badgerpaw, and Owlmask. Owlmask's usual clear blue eyes were now filled with concern, as so did Badgerpaw's.

"Are you alright?" Owlmask asked, staring at hos friend with worry. Cherrystrike nodded unconsciously.

"I'm fine." But he wasn't.

Before anyone had the chance to reply, Flarestar's yowl filled the clearing.

"The cats attending the Gathering will me me, Shinefrost, Featherheart, Mistycloud, Flamebelly, Rabbitflower, Owlmask, Whitemoth, Primrosepetal, Ivyspike, Waspsting, Condorclaw, Thistlesun, Glazefur, Fawnpelt, Cherrystrike, and all their apprentices."

Cherrystrike was surprised, he didn't think he get picked because of what happened a few moons ago...

Owlmask placed his tail on his shoulder. "Come along Cherrystrike, the clan is beginning to leave." Cherrystrike gave a weak smile, but sincere. Cherrystrike flicked his tail for Badgerpaw to follow.

With that, they followed the picked cats to attend the Gathering.

Cherrystrike felt eyes on him. He ignored the whispers about him and stood next to Owlmask. Badgerpaw turned to the older toms. "Can I go check out the other apprentices, I want to get to know them."

Cherrystrike smiled at his enthusiasm. "Of course. Just be careful." Badgerpaw grinned and nodded before trotting away.

"I enjoy your apprentice's enthusiasm, Cherrystrike."

Cherrystrike visibly stiffened. He recognized that voice all too well. With a deep sigh, Cherrystrike turned around.

In front of Cherrystrike, in all his glory, stood Addershift. The tom was huge, towering over Cherrystrike. Like his brother, Batwhisper, Addershift was a lilac-cream calico with unkept fur and two colored eyes, amber and yellow eyes. Half of his face was deeply scarred from the scarring Owlmask had given him during the Battle. Though he looked aesthetically pleasing, his personality wasn't.

Next to Addershift stood Bramblepaw. The younger tom was a brown tabby, with lighter paws and large ears. He had thick fur and a black stripped fur. His amber eyes, once full of warmth and joy, were now filled with anger and hatred. And were directed at Cherrystrike.

"Addershift, Bramblepaw, can I help you?" Cherrystrike meowed, swallowing deeply. His mouth felt to dry, his throat seemed to clamp up. Anxiety clawed at him and fear attempted to push it's way out of his throat.

"Not particularly, dear. We just wanted to see you, see how you were doing. You know, after the Battle..." Anger and anguish filled Addershift's eyes, "and the death of my brother."

Cherrystrike was quick to glare at him. "Mourning. I'm mourning."

Addershift only glared at him. "Oh, if fighting each other was banned in a Gathering, I would've shredded you to pieces, Cherrystrike." Addershift spat, his claws unsheathing and digging into the ground.

Cherrystrike glared at him. "I would've killed you the same way I killed Batwhisper."

After it left his mouth, he regretted it. Addershift bristled and gave him a low glare, one full of hatred and anger. A low growl rumbled in his throat, Bramblepaw uncurling his lips and showing his thorn teeth.

Without a word, Addershift turned, flicking his tail to Bramblepaw. The younger tom followed, not before giving a deadly glare.

~~~

Spiderpaw wouldn’t say he was panicking yet. But a sinking feeling started in his belly as he realized it was the second morning he woke up in Thunderclan, and Snakeface had made no attempts to gather his lives.

Which could be a good thing. Somebody could’ve gotten suspicious and figured out what Snakeface had done, but then the clan would be in new chaos of trying to find a leader. Still a sudden and untrained new leader is better than a traitorous one. That is if they agreed on one before the clan dissipated into nothingness. But it also meant that his time in Thunderclan was running out. The only cats in Shadowclan who seemed to like him were either dead or traitorous, he didn’t know if he could go back to that.

He flicked his ear at the feeling of... something. He blinked and turned to see Ratpaw giving him a drawl look.

"If you're gonna not work at least don't do something boring like stare at a rock." He hooked up a leaf with his claw and draped it over Spiderpaws head. He flicked his ear again and when that didn't work he gave a whole shake of his head to dislodge it.

"Sorry" he sighed.

Ratpaw shrugged, "I don't really care."

Spiderpaw returned to his task, which was just laying out a pile of leaves so that they'd dry faster. Frostpool decided that with the extra set of paws around, today would be the day to completely refill their stock of herbs, drying out the old in the process. He quickly found himself growing bored doing such repetitive motions over and over again. 

He heard a breath being huffed out behind him and turned, he blinked over at Ratpaw who seemed to be doing much of the same thing, laying out another herb with an experienced claw.

"Is something wrong?" Spiderpaw mewed.

Ratpaw shifted, "No, 'm just bored." He mumbled.

"Can you hear my thoughts?" Spiderpaw joked, returning to his task.

Ratpaw chuckled, "Not much of a medicine cat, are you?" 

Spiderpaw turned over his reply in his head for a moment, "Most of Shadowclan wanted me to be. But that probably has more to do with my size than my ability." He shrugged.

"Would you've?"

Spiderpaw blinked, "Would I what?"

"If all your clan and Starclan wanted you to be a medicine cat, would you have?" 

Spiderpaw swallowed, "Probably." He spoke, but that doesn't mean he would've liked it.

As irritating as Ratpaw was, he made himself incredibly easy to sympathize with. 

There were a silent few moments, only filled with the shuffling of leaves and yet the air felt thick and heavy around them, "Um, what'd you do to get yourself bound to camp?" Spiderpaw was curious, but he needed to keep the conversation going more than anything else.

Ratpaw laughed, which wasn’t an answer, but Spuiderpaw didn’t press.

"Twolegs have this hard prey stuff they put out for kittypets and loners, no hunting required." he said eventually and needless to say, that made Spiderpaw deeply uncomfortable, though he wasn’t exactly shocked given Ratpaw’s character.

What if the twolegs put something in it? What if kittypets just ate bad prey? Fresh kill wasn't supposed to be hard unless you bit right into a bone. What if they’re all sick and they don’t even know that their food is as good as crowfood because they’ve never had anything else?

“Oh.” Was all Spiderpaw said, “Was it uh, worth it?”

“Why? You interested?”

“What- No.” Spiderpaw said quickly, ear pressed back out of instinct, he glanced to the entrance of the den just in case and found no one. How in Starclan’s name was he supposed to explain discussing trying kittypet things when he himself was barely allowed in the clan.

Ratpaw snorted, laying another leaf flat. He hummed softly, thinking of something, “Yeah,” he said finally, “Yeah, it was worth it.” 

Spiderpaw flexed his claws in and out for a moment. He supposed he was lucky. Starclan could have easily picked him to be Shadowclan’s medicine cat and then he’d be in the same place Ratpaw was. He didn’t think he’d ever sneak off clan territory, but it was easy to say you’d never do something when you’ve never had to be in that situation “I.. am sorry.” He said, “If it means anything, I don’t think you should have to be a medicine cat. Whether Starclan says so or not.”

By the time they were done, Spiderpaw felt himself prickling with anxiety. If Snakeface were to show, he would come closer to sunset as to be by Moonpool while the moon is high. Seeing as it wasn't too far past sunhigh, the only thing Spiderpaw could do was wait.

“Do my eyes deceive me or have you finally been released from your stuffy duties?” Lionbright asked, trotting up to Spiderpaw as the apprentice made his way away from the, admittedly very stuffy, medicine den.

Spiderpaw huffed lightly, “Temporarily, Ratpaw says I’ll probably be called back once Frostpool returns.”

Lionbright hummed, moving to rub his cheek against Spiderpaw’,. "It's going to be fine."

Spiderpaw blinked, letting out a weak laugh, "Is me freaking out that obvious?"

Lionbright continued to nuzzle him and Spiderpaw was not thinking about how nice it was thank you very much. "A bit." he said, "I think he’d let you stay regardless of what happens. Redstar might look intimidating if you don't know him but he's soft for 'paws. He let me get away with quite a bit."

"You're also his son." Spiderpaw pointed out.

"And you are his son's friend." he replied. Spiderpaw couldn't help the quiet purr he let out at that no matter how much he fought against it.

He was in the medicine den again when a ruckus of murmurs sounded from outside. Spiderpaw left the herbs he had just finished sorting and went to see what was going on only for Ratpaw to block his way.

"Wha-" 

"Shush." Ratpaw hissed, shoving Spiderpaw back deeper in the den, he nodded to a series of cracks in part of the rock, some cracks wide enough that it had been likely manually covered with bracken on the outside.

The warrior apprentice opened his mouth but shut it again when he saw a glimpse of movement. He stepped closer and looked through the bits of plant to see a cream tom. He took a sharp breath but willed himself to stay quiet as he strained his ears to listen.

"-hope there isn't a troubling reason for your visit." Redstar said, just out of Spiderpaws view. 

"I'm afraid so." Snakeface said, "Nightstar has passed, I... I came to ask permission to pass through your territory to get to Moonpool." he actually sounded upset, it made Spiderpaw's claws slip out.

"She was a great warrior." Redstar sighed, "May I ask…" his mew quieted. Spiderpaw turned so his ear could press against the bracken.

"She was found near a fox den but-" a new voice, Acorntail, shadowclan's medicine cat spoke, "It seemed. Well, I suppose-" her voice hitched, "I believe she ate death berries before the foxes even…" she trailed off, but Spiderpaw got enough of a picture of the scene Snakeface created.

Spiderpaw wanted to scream, and also wrap his teeth around Snakeface’s throat, but only very distantly. On top of everything he almost felt calm. He hadn't expected that exactly from Snakeface but he couldn't really find it in himself to be surprised. He stepped away as Redstar said his condolences. He glanced back at Ratpaw only to see him standing just on the outside of the den, likely watching the interaction as well. 

He stepped back inside, startling a bit when he saw that Spiderpaw was staring at him. "I um," Spiderpaw started, "Thank you."

Ratpaw shrugged half heartedly, "I mean, I was guessing you didn't want him to see you." he mewed, following Spiderpaw as they both made their way out of the den, "I do have a favor to ask, while everyone's distracted-" he gained an almost startlingly excited look in his eyes, "Don't tell anyone where I went."

He darted the moment he was out of the den and slinked behind the other structures, hugging the wall of the canyon to travel in mostly secret, especially as it grew darker and made it harder for watching eyes to see the difference between the rocks and the cat's gray pelt.

Spiderpaw stepped away and resolved to find Lionbright. He didn't have to go far because the young warrior was hissing quietly to his father. He stopped when Spiderpaw caught his eye and picked up his pace to touch noses with the once Shadowclan cat.

Redstar came up behind him, glancing around to make sure no one was too close, "I will officially announce it tomorrow, but you are welcome to stay and continue your training in Thunderclan."

Spiderpaw nodded, "Thank you."

Redstar pressed his nose to the top of Spiderpaw's head and stepped away with a final nod. He trotted up to his den, being tailed by his deputy, and leaving Lionbright alone with him.

Lionbright blinked slowly looking right at Spiderpaw, "Welcome to Thunderclan" he mewed quietly.

Spiderpaw was going to say something back until he saw a she cat searching around with purpose behind the other. Lionbright looked over his shoulder to her as she approached.

"Have you seen Ratpaw?" Frostpool spoke.

"...No." Spiderpaw said after a moment that he hoped came across as confusion, "I was- I was a bit distracted."

Her eyes softened, "Of course." she gave him a sad smile, "Just tell me if either of you see him" 

Both of the tom's nodded as she turned to continue her search. Lionbright rolled his eyes and huffed, Spideraw stayed quiet despite the twisting feeling of guilt in his gut.

~~~

Ratpaw was buzzing with energy as he picked his way through the woods. Leaving out the dirt place tunnel wasn't ideal considering that's where every cat and their queen snuck out but with the entire clan's attention drawn towards the front of the camp, even after the pair had left, nobody saw him leave out the back.

He didn't dare get too close to Moonpool, but he did near Windclan's border. He tried to follow the Shadowclan cats’ track but only vaguely, knowing that they could smell him on their way back. 

He waited for a while, so bored under a bush that he was about ready to start plucking his own whiskers out, but eventually he heard the rustling of movement. 

He stayed still for the noise to pass and then some before poking his head out, he saw the pair in the distance, the medicine cat nearly blended in completely with forest around her and the cream tom was only slightly more visible.

He followed, containing the rippling feeling of something filling him with energy. It was like he was on the hunt for the most important piece of fresh kill in his life.

The cats ahead were silent, likely because a leader was not supposed to tell anyone of the event in which they got their lives. He'd already broken at least one fairly important rule in the warrior’s code so Ratpaw couldn't really figure out why he wouldn't want to break another. Of course, that'd make Acorntail suspicious, so perhaps the new leader was just smart.

The Shadowclan cats were going to pass right through Skyclan territory and Ratpaw thought it'd probably be best to avoid getting his scent everywhere an uninvolved clan could smell so he took a sharp turn and started up the high ground that marked the end of clan territory.

He didn't even try to be sneaky there, having walked past this area countless times while meeting up with various loners and kittypets. He could hear the rumbling of monsters running on their thunderpaths in the distance. He didn't mind the noise so much anymore but even he couldn't fathom actually living so close to those things.

He trotted quickly, climbing when necessary, and eventually made it back to clan territory. Shadowclan territory this time. He probably would have missed the leader completely if he hadn't rushed, yet he had, so it only for a moment to spot them again. 

He backed up behind one of the pine trees and away from view for a few heartbeats. It was significantly harder to hide in a place with trees so spread out but the ground was softer here, quieting his paws as he stalked forward.

He ended up rustling some of the pine needles regardless and watched as one of the scarred tom's ear's swiveled back to listen. Ratpaw paused and held his breath.

there was murmuring and then silence. The quiet of the night felt like a thick pressure as the apprentice tried desperately to stay silent until the suspicion dissipated.

And then the cream tom stepped out from behind a tree and locked eyes with the intruder. "Ratpaw." he breathed.

"Snake-" he cut himself off, not sure what to say.

"Star." he confirmed, "It's Snakestar now."

And Ratpaw really couldn't help pouncing on Snakestar anymore than he could help the rumbling purr he let out as he did so.
