Hey gang

Considering doing Pride Icons

I'll probs do a few for myself even though I won't use them as I sent lemnnshark a req and am using theirs for this month.

Pls feel free to send suggestions this way, askbox is always open! They would be free to use of course!

[lemnnshark]

Frayromantic Whitestorm pls!

OR trans man Hollyleaf

- @atdwarriorsau

I never know if transmasc/fem and trans man/woman are supposed to be separate flags so here are two versions

Canon cat pride icon requests are open for the month of June & icons are free to use! For OCs, check out my commissions

Tornear

Snailkit - Snailpaw - Tornear

Kit - Apprentice - Warrior

Windclan

Mentor: Unknown

Apprentice: Cloudrunner

Parent: Darkfoot

Siblings: Ashfoot, Tallstar (half)

Mate: Robinwing

Kits: Thistlekit, Owlkit, Gorsekit, Weaselkit

Kin: Nightpaw (nibling)

Ashkit and Snailkit were born to Darkfoot and their mate, making them Tallstar’s half-siblings. Tallstar was already leader at the time of their birth, and the kits admired him from the start, especially with how active he was as their brother in their early moons. Snailpaw, unlike his more ambitious sister, is silly and laid-back, constantly joking to lift the spirits of his more serious fellow apprentices. When no one else does, Snailpaw makes the effort to befriend Robinpaw, though she is rude and quick to anger. Snailpaw stepped in front of the fox which attacked Robinpaw with no hesitation, losing his ears in the process. When asked why he would help her, Snailpaw tells her he simply just wanted to help her. Snailpaw chooses to be named Tornear, and he and Robinwing end become mates. While his mate has fears, Tornear tells her he'd be delighted to take on duties as a queen whenever she wants. Tornear loves raising his kits more than anything.

Aight gang make decisions for me

what family tree do I draw next

redo Firestar's (thunderclan)

Nightpaw's (windclan)

Bluestar's (thunderclan)

FrostLion's (thunderclan)

THE CURSE

Blackstar's (shadowclan)

Voting ended onApr 15

I really wanna draw family trees for some reason

[atdwarriorsau]

Hmm alright

I did figure THE CURSE would win lol,, I'm very surprised Blackstar's was so popular? Alright

I'm do these in vote order, so: THE CURSE, Blackstar's, Firestar's, Bluestar's, Nightpaw's and FrostLion's

I've also decided instead of only drawing nonspoiler cats, I'll draw all the cats up to the final arc and just cover the spoilers with a black box lol,, then keep revealing so I don't have to keep redoing it

thunderclan 0% incest run attempt

working through attempting to remove incest from thunderclan while staying canon-compliant enough to not affect major plots, remove frivolous ties, and maybe add some new neat ones (and ones that just fit my headcanons lol). this is my mental disorder but it's fun. organized matrilineally. pre-ITW is done, now the scary part begins...

FINALLY finished fixing the Family subpage in the Megadoc Master Spreadsheet ™

It's been outdated for a while. I still think there might be some errors (like for a while I forgor about Tallstar being Ashfoot and Tornear's half-brother, and that I switched an Arc 4 litters parents) but I'm so glad it's done ugh

Anywayyyy that's what I've been doing now I wanna do all the allegiances (anything to avoid actually getting writing done amiriggt??)
