Clan Cats

Drawing shitty art as I reread Warriors. May draw responses to asks if they're interesting or fun! Please read my FAQ before sending questions or requests.

Sorry, Tumblr mobile is being inconvenient and auto routing my reblogs to This blog for some reason instead of my main (Susiron)

I'll post cats here again soon I promise sorry

[clancats]

Firestar should be absolutely covered in nicks and cuts with all the shit he goes through

Graystripe is bi af but 90% of that bi is directed at Firestar’s ass

A gay fluff

Felt like redesigning how I draw Silverstream

Hey, sorry for a lack of posts! I’ve been struggling with some mental health issues again and my artwork production has staggered significantly. I have commissions that I need to focus on first and foremost-- especially when I’m drawing so little, they need a high, top priority.

I promise that this blog is not dead, and that I have full intentions of posting here when I’m in a better head space (hopefully soon). I’ve already started correcting my sleep schedule and other bad habits that have contributed to a lot of executive dysfunction and depression. 

Thank you all so much for sticking with this blog in my periods of absence! I’m sure it must be frustrating, following a blog that posts so little, but this is not a permanent state for this blog.

I would also like to note that this is the only account where I go by “Clancats”. If you see an account anywhere claiming to be me, using this name, it is not me. I do have several other art accounts where I might post art from this blog, but none of them are specifically Warriors-themed.

I am also not comfortable with reposts of my artwork. You may use my drawings for avatar icons, but that is all they may be used for and I ask that you do not edit the images in any way other than cropping.

Thank you guys again for your patience! You’re all awesome, and I hope that you find enjoyment in this goofy book series (and, by extension, my goofy drawings) for as long as possible.

Check out this pretty art

This was a really fun ask! I’m afraid I don’t really have a thorough image in my head of what the camps of the other clans look like, but I’ve always had a pretty solid idea of where I think everything in Thunderclan is. This is pretty quickly drawn so it’s a lot more squished than I actually imagine their camp to be.

I’ve always pictured the elders den in the very back left corner, out of the way. I’ve also always pictured the medicine cat den far away from the gorse entrance, but on the right side. This drawing is pretty rudimentary and cramped, but I also always imagined a lot of open space and smaller rocks behind highrock. 

Highrock always seemed a bit more to the back of the camp rather than in the dead center to me (though still rather centered)

I always have the hardest time picturing where the warrior and apprentice dens would be, but I feel like the apprentice den would be somewhat close to the elders for convenience. I place the warriors den on the opposite side mainly for space reasons

The fresh-kill pile has always been directly inside the entrance on the right to me, and the nursery on the left. I vaguely remember there being a shit corner described behind the nursery from when Graystripe was sneaking off to see Silverstream (if I remember right? Regardless, I picture one there lol)

Okay but I'm aroflux ace and the authors have said that he's gay???? It's literally on his wiki page you're erasing his sexuality with your headcanon

There’s a reason why people tend to not care that Dumbledore is gay even though JK Rowling has confirmed this, and that reason is that it was never made obvious in the books that he was gay.

An author does a pretty piss-poor job at representing a sexuality if it’s only obvious that a character is of that sexuality when the author confirms it outside of the novels. This is not representation, and it might as well not be canon to the story if the author didn’t see fit to include it in the book. If something is important to the story and its characters, it belongs in the book.

The only place on Tallstar’s wiki that suggests that he is gay is the trivia wedged in at the bottom. Not his bio, not his summary-- the trivia with vague remarks from the authors. This is not committing a sexuality to a character.

Thanks for continually trying to bury my personal headcanon that is literally not your concern, but I’m really not interested in people giving me shit because I believe one of my favorite cats is ace/aro instead of gay. You’re welcome to headcanon the cats as whatever you feel fits them best, and I’ll thank you to let me do the same. 

[clancats]

Okay but,,, you're erasing one sexuality in favor of another d:

Do you people have anything better to do than piss over my headcanon that Tallstar is ace/aro?

Tallstar’s sexuality is never explicitly stated in the books. Tallstar does not engage in an open mouth, five minute long tongue-battle with a female cat, and he doesn’t stand up on the highest branches of a tree and proclaim his undying love for a male cat beneath a rose-coloured sunset. Nothing Tallstar’s character does says for sure what his sexuality is.

Tallstar’s sexuality is open to the reader, and it is not your business to insult someone else’s headcanons or demand that they agree with you. It is not erasing one sexuality to believe that a character is of another sexuality– especially if the character’s preferences are vague and you’re still headcanoning a queer character under the queer umbrella.

I am ace/aro and it is important to me to find characters that I feel align with my sexuality. Tallstar is a character that I personally feel is ace/aro and I am frankly sick of having to fight over something so trivial and personal.

I honestly always wished that Firestar would give Ravenpaw his full name during one of their later visits. If not a warrior in full, he should have been an honorary one

As far as a name goes, I feel like something soft or wind-related would fit him. Ravenbreeze comes to mind prominently

Tallstar is my ace/aro baby

My theory is that Whitestorm has himself a beauty mark that no one ever comments on so he’s not 100% white and gets a free pass Frostfur too I suppose
