[disgruntleddemon]

for wc x spotify wrapped, let's tryyy antpelt and song #73? 🐜🐜🐜

this one kicked my ass, and i'm still not happy w how it turned out lmao.

anyway, i got Super Trouper by ABBA for 73, and it took me awhile to think of what to do with Antpelt for that. then i got the idea of having it be him comforted by Swallowtail's presence while dying!

i love these 2 as a potential tragic couple, super underrated imo. that being said, Antpelt really is the perfect cat for tragic ships. really any of them have their own unique drama to them

I'm sorry but ivypool kill that fraud I don't even care that ivypool didn't get any consequences for this because homeboy before ivypool had to kill him to prove how loyal they were fuck head over here just tried to kill them before

Smoke him ivypool

[troutfur]

A very interesting canonical fact has been brought to my attention which will serve me well as I continue to tinker with Anima Sola.

[heepthecheep]

I see headcannons about Curlfeather being Reedwhisker's daughter, and I raise you:

What if Duskfur was Hawkfrost's daughter?

She shows up in tPoT as an adult, but if she where born soon after the clans reached the lake, she'd totally have her warrior name by then?

Maybe her mother was Swallowtail, or Dawnflower, who had a relationship with Hawkfrost before he died, which led to Duskfur.

And maybe Curlfeather takes after her great-grandmother, Sasha. Frostpaw too, with color point markings. Maybe Frostpaw even has her great--great Grandfather's eyes.

And Mothwing would be training her little grand niece, which is just 🥹

swallowtail :( do you think she ever found out what happened to antpelt

[bonefall]

Lakeheart watching her Bestie and co-parent Hallowflight be so painfully oblivious meanwhile WIndclan just thinks Leaftail really hates Hallowflight when he's two seconds away from punching him with his mouth

Breezepelt: "and here i was thinking I had problems."

Heathertail: "be fucking nice to yourself"

Breezepelt: "im not sayin' anything about myself, I'm sayin' he's a little bitch and I like that he's the weirdo now. Anyway how long do you think it'll take for them to--"

Harestar: "Three months. Which reminds me, Heathertail, you should rally the construction patrol to clean up the nursery."

Heathertail: "Pff, seriously?"

Harestar: "Better to have and not need than need and not have."

[groobedbones]

Antfur for a challenge, or Dawnpelt for an easier one lol

flip that around antpelt was EASY when i think of him i think of his like... 'physical death', not when ivypool murders him but when he dies in camp, with swallowtail, its like ughhhhh god that scene got me FUCKED UP!! so listen to this and have that scene in mind. and have it mind that he had no idea ivypool was gonna double murder him. i think it's very fitting an its very. him having a conversation in his head like that tm

Swallowtail(WC)

[whitegirljoshuamacheath]

idrc!! whatevers on your mind ig if there’s a certain cat or topic that you’ve wanted a chance to talk about!

ok!!!! i only have a couple topics under my belt so. anyway!

ill do bee and swallow cuz i care more about them than steam and charcoal loll

beenose and swallowtail are best friends from kithood who are first time mothers together. neither have kitted yet as of the beginning of the story, so they're waiting on their due dates together.

beenose comes from... a small family. she was a single kit, her mother was a single kit, her father was a single kit, her grandmothers were both single kits- she didn't grow up around a big family. she is terrified.

swallowtail, however, comes from a frankly massive family. they're spread out among every colony, with branches even in the city and outside the stones' reach. her mother has had four litters, and she's excited to have her own litter or two- she loves kits.

swallow is bee's rock. she reassures her on everything surrounding her kits, promises they'll be born healthy and everything similar.

and then, kits are born stillborn. at first, swallow is able to settle bee. "its a one off, its okay".

then it isn't okay.

beenose loses all of her kits. all five. their names are fog, frost, tiny, frog, and timber.

and beenose will never, ever have kits again. swallowtail goes on to have two wonderful litters, and beenose can't even look at them without needing a minute.

LONG ASS POST ABOUT CHAPLAIN ANGELS AU

Been a long time since i posted any physical/traditional art, and that's for a reason- my cameras suck! But i was doing some sketches and planning for chpa and don't have it digitally rendered, so.

I use metallic pens when i sketch, as its both pretty and helps the eyes and details to stand out, helps me remember where they are and recognize them. This sometimes fucks with the camera though, so im sorry but a lot of the colors are either muted or fucked up in other ways. These sketches are about chpa, so i kinda have to fully explain it now. Sorry.

my chpa au shuffles the events of po3 back into OOTS, due to the three all being born in the same litter (or the five, i guess?) It also revamps Starclan into a more, spooky cosmic afterlife inspired by the 'biblically accurate' trend a while back. chpa stands for Chaplain Angels, since the medicine cats still act as a 'chaplain' spiritual guide and connection to 'god' (Starclan), but also take on the appearance of Angels and are direct connections, as opposed to indirect. That is, they take on part of the powers of Starclan, instead of just ferrying vague messages.

This shuffle is actually caused by this, as medicine cats cannot have kits once they're full medicine cats (as in, biologically impossible. there is nothing there). Their body mutates slightly due to the influence of starclan and the direct unfiltered connection to their powers, and its less of a 'vow of celebacy' and more of a 'your body's change makes it impossible'. Lots of medicine cats have kits, but leafpool is the hardest to get around because she wasn't a warrior, or it was before she got her full name, or it wasn't a thing yet (like mothflight). So she cannot give birth to the Three, hence the shuffle.

ALL THIS TO SAY. a lot of shit gets shuffled and changed. Sol actually goes to Windclan, since the three weren't there in thunderclan to influence, and he had no reason to be walking on the Shadowclan border in that moment. Instead, he finds a grieving windclan lead by an irrational leader, and takes advantage of that. Why are they grieving?? FINALLY time for what this piece is actually about!! THISTLEKIT!!! WOO. Dark river happens before the three are born, but they don't really do much in the first few books, so most of its the same. Graystripe and Millie come back, Heatherpaw finds the tunnels still, Thistlekit and their siblings still go into the tunnels and get lost. Except this time, there's no Jaypaw to be guided by Fallenleaves, no five cats to carry them safely through the lake. It takes Heather and Breeze a lot longer to find them, and by that time, Thistlekit is already half dead. Jaypaw isn't there to warm them up and keep them alive until they get home. And even though Rock briefly shows up to make sure they don't die (spirit to spirit connection to Thistlekit, they find the strength to say a few words to Heatherpaw due to her body heat warming them up just enough), the cold of the river quickly kills them for good. Even if they did survive the cold, Breeze and Heather can only grab two of the three by their scruff. Heather tries to keep Thistlekit with her, but they get swept away, washing up to shore later.

All this to say, i killed Beechfur without really looking, considering he shows up for 2 seconds, and made him the spirit guide to Thistlekit. Starclan cats have a spectrum of forms, from the cat form they take to interact with the living, to the incomprehensible form that makes no sense. Their cat form, or 'comprehensible' form, is still a bit weird, but its mostly a cat. Beechfur is weird, because his fur doesn't really look like the grayish bark of a beech. So i gave him eyes the color of beech leaves in LeafFall, which is a beautiful reddish orange. It doesn't show up well in the photos, but i used a pale vermillion mixed with sunny yellow. Then his spirit form was pretty simple, i gave him textured fur (like a rug with patterns shaved into it) like a tree, and some leave accents on his tail and ears, plus a few scattered around his fur.

I also jotted down a few notes about how the afterlife works. Kits in chpa's starclan take the idea of the kits not ageing and uh. changes it. They still age mentally, but instead of always being baby for no reason, they just dont shift forms a lot. They almost always look the same as when they were alive. As much as kits being forever kittens unsettles me, the idea of aging in heaven ALSO unsettles me, so instead the spirits are ageless beings and kittens just. Prefer being a baby. They do mimic the adults by collecting cute and shiny things they like that reflect them, and using them to change their appearance. Thistlekit has a necklace of thistles, which never die or dry out. Intentionally similar to the dried thistle necklace i gave to Heathertail, who lives with the guilt of them dying.

Text: Beechfur observable form - Textured fur, like a shaved rug. Tail & ears are beech leaflets? (the bunches of leaves on a tree; i dont know the term for them)

Text: (arrow pointing from thistlekit (bottom left) to gorsetail (top left)), "same, but paler." Note next to beechfur (top right), "eyes the color of fall beech". (Arrow pointing from sedgewhisker (bottom right) to beechfur), "more muted"

Late Night Racing

wc: 2.0k

guys i actually have no idea about street racing i'm so sorry if this is inaccurate 😞😞😞 i'm just a boy who likes writing little gay oneshots.

(this has aventio in it but it's polycule brainrot -- i am not immune to the brainrot, i have a weak immune system.)

"Remind me again why you're taking the car that's not built for racing?"

One of two voices chimed in from the backseat, casting a questioning stare towards the driver's seat. Swallowtail's hand slid to the rearview mirror to get a look at what exactly his 'passengers' were doing. He giggled at the attempt of the genius to separate himself from the third man, who merely laid back and smiled.

"I don't want to use my actual race car for a street race. What if someone vandalises it? Can't have that, y'know."

The racer turned his eyes to the road once he'd seen Ratio nod. He had no clue as to why the both of his partners had insisted on coming with him to that specific street race. It wasn't anything special, just a casual get together in race form.

He fiddled with the sound settings as soon as they came to a red light, hurriedly connecting his phone to the car to play music. The three of them had sat through near silence for a seemingly god-awful amount of time.

As soon as Swallowtail finished hooking it up, the light switched to green. He had no time to choose which song to play, and out of all of his downloaded music, a lounge song played. Aventurine's eyeroll was as palpable as his playful scoff.

"Really? You might make Veritas fall asleep before we get to the race."

"Hush. This is lounge, not jazz. There's a difference."

Ratio quipped, still sounding like he had an abundance of his usual energy despite his leaning against the other man in the way someone dozing off would. The Stoneheart had no want to shove the other off him. Instead, he seemed to ease into Ratio, leaving their racer to glance at them through the rearview mirror.

Unfortunately for Swallowtail, the seat beside him was painfully empty, quite the opposite of his passengers in the back.

"We're almost there. Don't get too comfortable, you might hate me for interrupting when I go fast."

While Ratio offered a scoff in exchange for his words, the third man left him a reply-

"I don't think anything could make us hate you, birdbrain."

The genius nodded in agreement, dozing off, contrary to his comment that implied lounge music couldn't lull him to sleep. Aventurine wrapped an arm around his shoulders, which served to wake him up enough to straighten his posture.

"What was it about lounge and jazz again?"

"None of your rhetorics are needed here."

When the car stopped at an open area, that's the only time the violet haired man had enough energy to pull away from the Stoneheart under the assumption they reached their location. To both of their surprise, immediately after Swallowtail parked and unlocked the door, somebody opened it up and yanked him out.

There was a short exchange of glances between the two left in the car. This person seemed to be fine, they were acting like an old highschool friend.

It was an entirely different story when a group of four approached the racer, however. All of them seemed to be just a little too touchy. The racer backed against the car, leaning on it to try and seem casual. Everything about his attitude was convincing, and sometimes it was creepy that they couldn't tell if he was faking or not. That was one of the cases.

Upon exchanging another knowing glance, both Aventurine and Ratio exited the car and approached its owner - their partner - whose back was pressed up against his side of the car. The Stoneheart, having less shame than Ratio, slid over the hood of the car in a split second, to pull their racer out of the fans for a split second. On the other hand, the genius walked around the front of the car, discreetly slipping his hand into the one that Aventurine wasn't holding.

His partners pulled him away from his adoring fans for a moment, wrapping their arms around him. Ratio glared at him, but the irritation was directed towards the fans that had grouped around him.

"You said this was a race, not a fanmeet. There's no need to interact with them, you're not here to sign autographs.”

"What's the harm in a little interaction with my.. admirers, professor? I'll go straight to the group assignment after this, don't worry.”

"I’m pretty sure what Veritas meant to say was that you looked uncomfortable.”

"...thank you for that. It'd be rude to leave them though. Just let me say bye to them so they won't think I'm mean.”

The two relinquished their hold on him, allowing him to slip away and apologise to his fans. Aventurine let his arm hover around the genius' waist, much to the latter's sudden incredulity. Ratio allowed himself to ease into the other's hold, even if just for a moment.

That moment didn't last quite long, as the very second he felt the Stoneheart plant a kiss to his cheek, he pulled away, rolling his eyes. It amused the other, who gave a small bow as an apology. The third man slipped back to where the other two were, greeting them again with a wave.

"I'll have to head over to where the groupings are being assigned. See you again later."

Right after he checked in with his partners, he jogged off again, leaving them to wait a long five minutes without him. Ratio yawned, not waiting for Aventurine to follow as he went back inti the car. Neither of them regretted coming, but both knew it would offset the genius' schedule by a little. It was for that exact reason their partner had kept on declining until he ran out of reasons to decline.

The both of them stayed in the car, the violet haired man begrudgingly leaning into the other despite the voice in his head saying they'd get caught like that. Before they knew it, Swallowtail had returned, not to start the car, but to check on them again. His group's race wouldn't even start in 20 minutes.

"Ratio? You look sleepy. I can get you both home before my race starts, I'll get you guys dinner on th-”

"No need for that, sweet. Me and the professor want to watch you. Haven't had the chance to see you race casually."

The genius nodded in agreement, still dozing off. He didn't even complain or comment when the racer crawled into the backseat next to him and started stroking his hair. It only really served to further lull him to sleep.

Aventurine sighed in contentment, rubbing circles onto the doctor's nape. Contrary to the way his attitude suggested he wasn't sleepy, he was also starting to drift off. While on the side opposite his, the third man was absentmindedly scrolling on his phone, simultaneously combing his fingers through Ratio's hair. The practical silence was awkwardly comforting, nothing much could be heard aside from all of their breaths, which were synced up like metronomes.

It was oddly calm for pre-race activities. Others that were attending were most likely betting and mingling with the audience, cheering for each other, maybe even drinking.

Ratio had fallen asleep before the other two even noticed. His head had fallen back against the car's seats, his neck supported by the Stoneheart's hand on the back of it. The moment seemed shorter than it was, because all too soon, Swallowtail was peeling himself off one of his partners and awkwardly stepping from the backseat to the driver's seat to start the car. He was careful enough not to wake the doctor, but his efforts would be rather purposeless once the race started.

The sound of his car starting was already enough to wake Ratio up, and he squeaked out an embarrassed apology that he'd disturbed him.

He caught sight of Aventurine stretching a little bit, and Ratio rubbing his eyes from his rearview mirror, which was enough confirmation for him to actually drive to his position. Not even a minute later, he was at the makeshift starting line, waiting for the call to go. He looked back at his partners, who were both looking out the window at the crowds.

"If you wanna watch from the sidelines, you can still go out. It's gonna be really fast, so I suggest you do.”

The both of them nodded, simultaneously leaning over the driver's seat to kiss Swallowtail's cheeks for good luck.

"Best of luck, racer.”

"Good luck, birdie."

"Love you both, now shoo! Before it starts!”

He watched as his partners exited the car and made their way behind the ropes that sectioned away the spectators. Right before the go call, he checked everything, something he should've done earlier. His car was in between two modified sports cars, yet he didn't feel like he'd lose, even with his competition.

Once the signal was given, Swallowtail floored the gas. There was no time for him to catch the proud expressions on his partners' faces as he zipped by, complete focus on the road. He managed to keep up with the other three cars, each loud rev he heard like music to his ears.

It was quite amusing for him to straightaway be on the same level as the sports cars he was up against, and it didn't take him long to be neck to neck with another for first place. Although Ratio was technically correct, his car wasn't built for track racing, it was still a rally car, which wasn't much, but it made it a little easier for him to gain leads on the other two.

All it took for him to finally overtake the first placer was a turn. Swallowtail turned the wheel gently at first, just to enter the turn, slowly angling his wheel towards the bend. He pressed down on the gas pedal, spinning the wheel towards the corner in a drift. No one could see the racers at that point of the route, but it didn't stop Swallowtail from showing off.

Once he straightened his car from the drift, he'd already gained an at least 10-meter lead on the rest of the racers. He floored the gas again, right hand resting on the handbrake for his planned 'coup de grace'.

If he was flashy without his partners watching, what more of him with them around? It wasn't one of his races without some kind of bizzare twist. Usually, he wouldn't attempt to pull off a trick like he'd planned for a simple meet, but then again, he needed the extra 'wow'-factor.

He spun the wheel, pressing down his handbrake and probably making several of the spectators freak out - or at least those who had never seen him race. Even the racers he barely knew had probably heard of the stupid tricks he pulled. His car spun a full 360 degrees, finally straightening and coming to a stop as the other racers pulled up to the finish line.

Swallowtail was many things, but there was no way in hell he was boring. One thing he was? In for another of Ratio's lectures on safety. He wasn't halfway out the car, and he could already hear the doctor's concerned footsteps as he ran towards his car, Aventurine casually walking beside him. Finally, he sighed, unbuckling his seatbelt and stepping out.

Almost immediately, he was met with the hands of the racers he'd been up against, each wanting a 'good race' handshake. Swallowtail managed to reciprocate all the hands before he was tugged out of the small crowd by none other than-

"Veri, Vasha! Enjoy the show?”

"I know of your reputation for your stunts, but please, reserve your theatrics for when you have a helmet."

The doctor squeezed Swallowtail's shoulders, once more trying to instill any kind of fear inside the racer, and failing. Meanwhile, Aventurine gave the racer a peck on the cheek as a 'good job'.

"Do you always race like a maniac, or were you trying to show off? You know that Ratio can get a little concerned sometimes.."

"I'm fine, and yes, I was trying to show off. I'll bring a helmet next time.”

The racer started back to his car, glancing back momentarily to check if they were following. He relaxed in his seat once he got to it, leaning over to kiss both his partners once they'd gotten in too.

"It seems I owe you two dinner. Where to?”

[cryptidclaw]

who are damselfly (?) and snowshoe in roc? :0

Damselfly is Riverclan's Swallowtail in this au! I gave her a new name and he has kits with Rainwhisker now! also since idk when I will get to talk about Damsel again (she's one of my fave random background cats in the au) here's more Damsel facts: he is genderfluid and uses she/he pronouns; her mother is Petaldust and her father is a loner who Petal was secretly mates with, she just pretended he was a donor tho (perks of my kits with outsiders are allowed rule); Damsel's name was given to him by her father and though its a bit unconventional Petal got away with it bec i have decided that Petal is the wc equivalent of a hippie and everyone just accepted that this was normal Petaldust stuff.

Snowshoe is Snowkit! he is now the son of Sapheart (Princess) and Dustpelt. he survives the hawk attack and gets to be a warrior! He is also one of Brambleflower's best friends and later becomes his mate!

[wc-confessions]

Has anyone heard of Foxleap/(wc)Swallowtail??
