Welcome! You can call me Cat. I see you've stumbled upon my silly little blog. Here I do arts, writing, AUs and rants. Please play nice! 🏳️⚧️ Any pronouns are fine!🏳️⚧️
I came to this new silly Transformers idea. They all tiny and transform into insects. This thought has consuled my brain, leaving no room for other thoughts.
I lied, my head is full of dragonfly Starscream. You have no idea how hard it is to find good and clear dragonfly's underbelly picture. Also, their faces are kinda weird.
Anyways. I've been thinking mainly of Decepticons and Megatron is a scarab beetle. 100%. There is no other way. Seekers are all dragonflies and damselflies btw. I think it'd be really funny to make Starscream a mosquito, but I'm refraining myself.
Skyfire/Jetfire is a big moth. Y'know, one of them fluffy ones. I think I'm gonna have him wear a mask, just because the moths I'm talking 'bout don't have a mouth.
Bumblebee would be some kind of beetle or ladybird. Ik his name is bumblebee, but still...I want beetle bee. Imagine though. The confusion amongst the Autobots human friends.
I think they should have some anyways. Maybe I'll make original humans, or use canon ones but whatever. I think Carly from G1 could be interesting.
At least ONE of Soundwave's cassettes must be a flea. I'm not sure how that entire thing would work but anyways. Soundwave kinda gives me cricket or grasshopoer vibes.
And maybe praying mantis Shockwave? That could be fun :)
The constructicons would all probably be different kinds of ants. I don't know much about them though, so... Also, let me make it clear, that I don't like ants! I'm terrified of them. And I once got one stuck in my ear. I'm not sure how it happened, but eventually I got it out.
Swindle will be either a fly or a tick. I think I might go for fly though, 'cause I REALLY don't like ticks. I had to make a presentation on them once and the pictures dealt me emotional damage.
Jazz is a stickbug. You can't change my mind. Likely. He just has those stickbug vibes y'know.
Idk about Optimus. I genuenly don't know. Probaby some kind of beetle tho. I'm gonna think about it.
Anyways, sorry for this brain diarrhea, I'll go now.
I swear people who say "*female character* is a terrible daughter!" when said daughter do have vaild reasons to be frustrated with their parental figure(s), even if they're immature or bratty about how they react to do shouldn't ever fucking become parents. (Bonus points if it's a cis man whipping out that criticism)
Like, why is it daughters. I see wayyy less comments about "*male character* is a terrible son!" In these sorts of conversations.
Anytime I see this arugement, even if it's for a female character I genuinely don't like, I immediately write off the person making the criticism. And, yes I would still write off the criticism for male characters, too.
Expecting your children, even if they're now adults, to coddle their grown ass parents, especially if they have vaild reasons to be frustrated with their parent(s) or they're "terrible children," has a really real name. It's called parentification. It's considered a form of neglect at best and abuse at worse.
If you seriously expect fictional children or the adult children of to coddle their fictional parents or they're terrible children reflects something so concerning where im like, god, as a child of parentification myself, please don't fucking have really real children.
"Aro/Ace person gets given a love potion" story but instead of them being immune or whatever, it DOES work, and they realize IMMEDIATELY that they've been fed a love potion because this feeling is so wrong and foreign but everyone keeps laughing off the idea of it being a love potion because "they were probably just a late bloomer" or "no, you just finally found the right person!" and it's just a horror story about how no one believes them even though they know, they KNOW this isn't right and they can't stand it.
Most of you have heard of the flavor of aroace people that dislikes ships/shipping because they are repulsed by romance/sex.
I am the flavor of aroace that LOVES shipping because I find something romantic in every meaningful dynamic because that is the kind of romance I yearn for in my life which I will probably never have.

I have been dying to yap about this, so here we go. For about the past month I've been working on an entirely book based family tree of arc 1 ThunderClan.
That means that any family relationships not mentioned in the books are treated as irrelevant and unknown fathers will be assigned by genotypic compatibility.
That is, cat genotype compability. I have used cat genetics to map out who is related to who and the human versions just have to deal with it.
Most of the genotypes featured are taken from Little Hungry Warrior's genetically accurate family tree YT videos, with minor changes where I replaced the father.
I have tried to avoid incest where I could, also including future incest, but I haven't really read past the 1st arc, so most of my knowledge is based on the wiki and its sources.
Okay, enough introduction, let's get into it.
Starting off with Firestar's, because atp it's smaller and more manageable.
I know who Firestar's and Princess' parents are, but for my purposes, they weren't relevant at the point of building the initial rough tree. You'll see that I also made Sandstorm and Dustpelt siblings. That's because I always read them as such, the BOOKS don't contradict it, and it avoids DustFern bloodline incest. According to the official family tree, Dustpelt was born to Robinwing and Fuzzypelt, along with Ravenpaw (Ravenhand in this AU. The names are changed into the AU versions within the family tree), it means that they are the same age. I don't think it'd be too far fetched for Robinwing to adopt two kits around the same age as her youngest son.
Not much to be said about Firestar and Princess (or Cloudtail). Their cat forms are black base in this AU, I will include their genotypes.
Yea, this is what we have for them, and I'll also include Sandstorm's and Dustpelt's.
You'll notice that I have left a lot of gaps in their parents' genotypes, and that's because either could have the necessary genes and it doesn't matter. Sandstorm is no longer cream (pale ginger) but fawn, Dustpelt's chocolate. Why is Dustpelt sepia, carrying albino? Because Spiderleg, but he isn't really relevant to my cause. I just think it's fun. But also, I've drawn Dustpelt as non-albino so it's pretty much whatever atp. We ball.
MOVING ON
Frostfur's branch.
Ravenhand's there too, don't pay too much attention to him. You'll notice a mysterious orange Snag/Jaggedtooth as the father of Brightheart, Cinderpelt, Brackenfur, and Thornclaw, instead of Lionheart as proposed by the official family tree. Very simple.
Brightheart needs to be ginger. Frostfur can carry one ginger, but Brightheart needs another and Lionheart doesn't fit the bill, as I will explain later on. There's also the Cinderpelt problem. Cinderpelt is solid blue. No ginger to be found. That's a problem, because she'd either need to have a different father, or...
Trans gal Cinderpelt, YIPPEE!!
Anyways, I want to explain Snag.
Snag was one of Tigerclaw's rogues. In fact, he was important enough that Tigerstar granted him a warrior name (Jaggedtooth). After Tigerstar's death, Jaggedtooth fought for the side of BloodClan.
I feel like there's writing potential there, BUT I have another reason for this. My other option was Scorchwind of ShadowClan. The problem with him was that he has a LOT of established family, being Raggedstar's brother and Rowanclaw's father. Thus, Snag was the lesser of two evils (even though he was probably more evil than Scorchwind). In any case, he's not a major character and fits my purposes well enough, so...
I don't know how much needs to be explaine here. I did choose cinnamon Brackenfur and choclate Thornclaw, as well as making Frostfur albino (because that's the only way she can be full white with her genes), and that's pretty much it. Also, Snag's a classic tabby in my interpretation, probs so he can give one mc to Brightheart, but that's details I didn't even bother to pay a lot of attention to, so whatever. Brightheart, Brackenfur, and Thornhand are all mackerels in my mind's eye.
Time for Robinwing and Patchpelt!
I do have only their genotypes put here, because Patchpelt was veery far from Robinwing on my big tree and had lots of other jokers there that I don't want to talk about yet.
So yeah, Robinwing's a ticked chocolate tortie. Frostfur's chocolate under her albino, others only exhibit black. They carry chocolate for funsies. Brindleface carries albino for Ferncloud, for her to give to Spiderleg. If we go the sepia Spiderleg route. But it's whatever.
SURPRISE!! Brindleface and Lionheart!
(The amount of times I've read Ashhand as Asshand is getting ridiculous)
But yeah, Lionheart is now the father of Ashfur and Ferncloud because, uh... Whitestorm has too much white. That's it. That's the reason. Ferncloud does need some white, so I gave Lionheart a bit, but Ashfur remains white free.
Lionheart is not cream for reasons I will get to eventually, but other than that, it's relatively standard. I'm not sure why I also gave Ashfur an a for solid, but it's not like he has anyone to give them to either, so fuck it. He gives Ferncloud a little bit of white, but otherwise is just a good guy to put in there.
As I said, I'll explain fawn Lionheart later, but right now I'll be jumping to
Swiftbreeze and Adderfang
This is genuinely the biggest I could go for this branch, forgive me for Tumblr's compression
These two had Patchpelt, Leopardfoot, Spottedleaf, Redtail, and Willowpelt and are as such basically responsible for literally half the god damn Clan.
I did pair Willowpelt with Smallear for two litters, which I will get to in a minute, but first.
Genotypes. Yay. So yeah, Redtail's chocolate and a trans man because I said so. And that's also the reason he can even be a tortoiseshell. Spottedleaf's a low white calico and Leopardfoot's a low contrast bengal. Because I can and it doesn't seem to actually seriously conflict with anything. I do think it's funny that literally all of her siblings are solid and she gets called solid as well. Spamming that 25% of the punnet squares.
Oh yeah, it's Willowpelt time
In my AU, Willowpelt has three litters. Two with Smallear, one with Whitestorm. Whitestorm is mentioned in the books, Smallear is Darkstripe's and Greystripe's father. It's very exciting, I love what I did there. ALSO.
I think that Greystripe calling Darkstripe neither young nor beautiful is funny as fuck, because Darkstripe is younger than Spottedleaf (Willowpelt, Spottedleaf, and Redtail are all from the same litter if I remember correctly, but I could be mistaken), but also Greystripe's older brother. 10/10 sibling interaction, would do the same if I wasn't the oldest.
I forgot to mention that Willowpelt is a blue-cream tortie. Oops. Anyways. Smallear is a ticked tabby. He is usually described as solid, and heterozygous ticked doesn't remove as many stripes as I'd like, but he does give Greystripe that ticked that allows him to have minimal striping and gives Darkstripe that Agouti allele, which he also needs.
I do not remember why Whitestorm is ticked. Probably because initially I considered having him be Greystripe's father, but he'd also give Greystripe white, so I scrapped that idea.
Willowpelt had to be tortie for Sorreltail. Usually Sorreltail's also depicted as either a chocolate tortie or a black one, but due to both Whitestorm's and Willowpelt's dilution, she has to be lilac and cream. Little Hungry Warrior had her be blue and cream, but I like lilac and cream Sorreltail better (it also gave me an excuse to use chocolate, ehheehehe)
I think that when I drew Whitestorm, I accidentally made him fawn, though he should be blue under his VERY HIGH WHITE. Not white dominant (Wd). He can carry fawn or lilac under his blue though, it's all good since both are recessive and he could get them from anywhere.
Greystripe and Silverstream time.
There's literally nothing interesting going on there. The actual point of interest for would be Millie and her and Greystripe's kits, but they don't exist in the first arc so I didn't bother. I also didn't do Silverstream's family tree, but I might at some point in the future.
No genotyping this time because it's nothing interesting. Silverstream's silver, Feathertail and Stormfur are basically copies of both of them.
I can't be bothered to do each family here on its own, but
Bluestar
I hate Tumblr compression.
Anyways. This is Bluestar's family and then some of the plot relevant and former TC elders. I'm pretty sure that Windflight and Rainfur is an official family tree invention, but I also didn't care enough at that point, since the only one of these that had kits was Dappletail and her's died, so it's pretty much a genetic dead end.
Snowfur and Thistleclaw's lines lead down into Whitestorm.
I do have a bit of Moonflower's family as well, but there's nothing that you can't get from Little hungry warrior's videos, so I think my explanation is unnecessary, as I did nothing interesting or different. Rosetail had me gripping the table with her blue and ginger, but now she's blue and cream and will have to live (die) with that.
Both Bluestar and Snowfur are point, though, minkpoint. That's cool, I guess.
Ok fine, I'll also put this here.
Tigerclawstar time.
The big tree was once again a bit widespread for me to cleanly put it in here, but Pinestar's cinnamon now and Tigerclaw's a brown tabby that carries cinnamon. No bengal, because TIGER, but it was fun while it lasted. He's also carrying classic for Tawnypelt to give to Tigerheartstar in the future, but that's the future, not the now.
Otherwise, nothing special. Moving on.
I love Goldenflower, and Goldenflower's genes are a lot of fun too. Swiftpaw is no longer Patchpelt's but Fuzzypelt's, because their genotypes are similar enough, actually, and he was a tom that didn't have any kits at that point.
Goldenflower's a tortie, so Tawnypelt can be a tortie and Bramblehand can be not ginger, Tawny and Goldenflower are both classic tabbies, because 1) it's gorgeous and 2) because it's fun.
I'm not too attached to the idea of a high white Swiftpaw, he can be a very borderline low white for all I care, but Fuzzypelt with a white locket is also a fun mental image and imo adds more visual interest to him, so it can go either way.
Goldenflower has to have white either way.
Ok now we're getting to the fun part
Cloudpelt was the ShadowClan deputy under Raggedstar's leadership for a while. "What's he doing here?" you might ask. Well, the reason is Snowkit.
Cloudpelt is a full white tom. If I was entirely book accurate, he'd be white by the same means that Whitestorm is, BUT, I have a very good reason.
For Snowkit to be white, blue-eyed, and deaf, he'd have to be white dominant. Speckletail is not white dominant. that means the father had to be.
After scouring the Warriors wiki for white toms, I ended up with three possible toms. Cloudpelt of ShadowClan, Flytail of WindClan, and Oliver the kittypet. Oliver is the only one of these that is actually white dominant. Both Flytail and Cloudpelt had low white or high white parents, but Oliver is Cloudtail's father.
What broke the tie, was Cloudpelt's ginger and white mother, as Speckletail's mystery mate also had to have ginger under his white.
I could have made Goldenflower's and Lionheart's father a different tom from Snowkit's and Mistlekit's, but... too much work.
Cloudpelt had plenty of half siblings, so he absolutely could also have had a father that wasn't Toadskip, because it was a mess over there.
And thus we get fawn and cream Goldenflower and fawn Lionheart.
My only remaining concern with Cloudpelt was his age, because while I'm pretty sure that Lionhearted and Goldenflower were plausible, Snowkit and Mistlekit were both kits. Then again, Brokenstar had become leader rather recently at the beginning of arc 1, and I don't know the timeline from Cloudpelt's death to Raggedstar's death. Cat pregnancies are very weird in the books as well, so I'm choosing not to worry about it too much.
I don't care about Speckletail's or One-eye's father. They're both old enough for him to be pretty irrelevant.
Speckletail is a fawn tabby with no ginger. That choice was made so One-eye could remain blue, since there's no way I could sneak ginger onto Harepounce and if their father had it, One-eye would also have to be tortie.
I did give both One-eye and Speckletail widebanding, though. Speckletail so she can appear more golden, and One-eye so she can carry it on.
Which brings us to One-eye and Halftail's family.
Yeah, Longtail's there. It isn't actually stated anywhere in the books that he's Robinwing's and Patchpelt's, so I took creative liberties, and I acctually think that this works better.
Idk, I feel like Mousefur and Longtail make a nice sibling dynamic, and in my mind eye, Runningwind and Longtail also look sort of similar, with Runningwind being described as golden brown tabby and Longtail as pale tabby, that gets depicted as yellow/tan.
I present to you, widebanded Runningwind and Longtail. Mousefur's just solid chocolate, but I think that she's neat too. I love giving characters chocolate.
They can be from the same litter or different ones, I don't think it really matters. I think Mousekit and Runningkit were described as playing in one of them, but I think either one is still plausible.
But yea, Longtail's also heterozygous ticked, even if he's described as a tabby. I like ticked Longtail and I think that he has enough striping to still be called a tabby. He's also classic, because classic is my guilty pleasure and I think it suits him.
That's all.

This comic too me way too long 😭 but I also had a lot of fun with it!
Also, it’s up to you whether Willow got to read the comic he made or not 🤫😏
Huntlow Week has been so much fun! I’ve really enjoyed participating, and seeing everyone else’s amazing creations! Thank you to those who worked to set it up, and thank you to all Huntlow fans for making this possible! 😁✨
I had a dream last week about a Lego Monkie Kid visual novel/dating sim and I could nnnnnot get it out of my head 😍
Of course I have no skill or knowledge about making games, so I just did some fake screenshots instead. Sorry if I jumpscared anyone into thinking such a thing existed… but now you can be in the same boat as me ever since I had that dream lol
PS the backgrounds in the three fake screenshots are from the show itself, not by me.
