#brambleflower

[0-mapledaze-0]

Another part of my warriors au. Brambleclaw is named brambleflower after he rejects the claw part of his name. He resigns from deputy early on. He and squilf have a good relationship and love/respect each other in my au. Unsure if squilf still becomes deputy/leader i gotta think on that more first

[malkumtend]

Thinking about my Brambleflower AU again, and you know what, that cat is most definitely an amazing woman. It was shortly after they arrived at the new territories that Brambleflower began to question who she really was. At first she feared it was just another episode of worrying about how cats perceived her like her father, but after a while she realised it had nothing to do with that. She simply felt happier when she accepted that in her heart, she felt comfortable being seen as a she-cat. Of course, her adopted sister Squilf, was the first she told and Squilf couldn’t have been more supportive of her big sister, letting her know that she didn’t care about anything else other than Brambleflower’s happiness and comfort! She promised that if any cat even looked at her wrong, she’d make sure their ears weren’t the same shape when they looked away! Slowly, with Squilf’s support, Brambleflower began to tell more and more cats until finally it reached Firestar who just smiled, pressed his nose against his adopted daughter’s forehead, and told her that no matter who she was he would always be proud of her. And despite the happy tears swelling in her eyes, Brambleflower felt the embrace of her family then and there - Firestar, Squirrelflight, Sandstorm and Leafpool, all of them accepted who she was without a second thought. And that was all that it took for Brambleflower to know that it would be okay.

I know this isn’t the most articulate, but this beautiful girl has been living rent free in my brain and I needed to share how much I love her and want her to be happy forever!

So... Bramblefire ship but Firestar names Brambleclaw, Brambleflower instead.

Squirrelflight and Brambleflower’s kits from left to right: Aldershade, Sparkstorm, Goldbreeze, Hawkpool, and Redcloud! In the Good Timeline AU, Brambleclaw steps down as deputy once Hollyleaf returns in OotS, instead deciding to focus on rebuilding his relationship with Squirrelflight and the three. They later have the five, who help bring a lot of positive change to the Clans. More AU ramblings below :)

The five are the main characters of the Good Timeline Arc Five, in which four out of five each go on their own journey, and work to implement both ‘apprentices must go on a journey to a non-Clan location’ and a variety of other changes throughout the arc. Their suffixes refer to each of the five Clans, representing the unity that they helped bring about. Additionally, they’ve inherited their mother’s sibling connection powers, and can all share dreams together.

Goldbreeze is the oldest and the biggest! She’s named after Goldenflower. She decides, entirely on her own, to take on the burden of leadership and living up to Firestar’s legacy so that her littermates don’t have to. She goes on a journey to the Sisters, and ends up falling in love with their next matriarch, Lavender. Design notes are that her little nose blaze is a marking my parent’s cat has that I absolutely adore.

Aldershade is very similar to canon, so not too much to say for him, but he does get to be best friends with Needle, who also becomes a medicine cat in the Good Timeline. He goes on a journey to Midnight’s Den on the ocean. Design notes are that he looks like his Dad, just much redder. 

Sparkstorm my beloved. She journeys to SkyClan, and plays a huge role in their process of joining the Clans. She’s very loyal and stubborn and gets to be more center stage than she was in AVoS. Design notes are that she looks very similar to Firestar, and that her fur tufts are supposed to look a little bit like flames. 

Hawkpool loves his littermates so much and other than that it’s mostly empty up there (affectionate). He looks just like, and is named after, Hawkfrost, who gets a redemption arc. Hawkpool journeys to the Tribe and one of Stormfur’s kits leaves to join the Clans and be with him. Design notes are just that he’s the middle child.

Redcloud is technically not Squirrelflight and Brambleflower’s kit; he was left to them by his mother before she left to join the Sisters. She wanted him to grow up with a community, but she needed something different, so she left him with Squirrelflight and her newly born litter. He looks an awful lot like Squirrelflight, and most non-ThunderClan cats aren’t aware he isn’t part of the litter. He is the youngest by about a week. He volunteers to stay behind when his siblings go on their journeys so that he can share their progress with the Clans and send help to them if they need it. Design notes are that he looks like Squirrelflight, although he has a large and wide build that’s typical of the Sisters.

POV: you’re ignoring canon to the point of denial

(Alternatively titled: you were a Bramblepaw/claw stan when you first started reading and you’re memory of the character is entirely different than the written work so aus are your friend)

Wholesome Brambleflower content... Squirrelkit does not enjoy being groomed.

power of three rewrite!!!! and leafpools wish rewrite as well

first off i don’t remember much abt the first three books but well I’ll do my best

hollypaw lionpaw and jaypaw would all become warriors, since thunderclan doesn’t need anymore medicine cats.

firestar wasn’t sure if jaypaw could be a warrior but brightheart assured him he could so that worked out. no one really wanted to train jaypaw because of his rudeness but brightheart volunteered herself.

lionblaze keeps his name, hollypaw becomes hollyflower after her foster dad brambleflower, and jaypaw becomes jayflight after his foster mother squilf

btw at this point the three’s mother is squirrelflight. brambleflower pretends to be their father and has been in on the secret (kind of a thrushpelt like guy)

heathertail isn’t straight actually, she and lionblaze were just friends

lionblaze would be a jerk as an apprentice, i think he would really have to grow into making friends to give him a little personality

despite jayflight being squilf and leafs favorite and hollyflower being brambles, i’d like to think graystripe and firestar and frostfur’s children would love lionblaze bc he reminds them of lionheart

hollyflower and cinderheart (not reincarnated) would get together

blackstar and sol would canonically have a relationship

foxleap and icecloud aren’t actually dustpelts kids, he was just fostering them. ferncloud had found them in the woods so he took them in, and daisy would help give them milk and stuff when she was still in the nursery.

honeyfern would get with hazeltail and berrynose with poppyfrost. foxleap would be with mousewhisker who is going to stop me.

mole lives! his name is actually crestclaw now, he gets with icecloud. (does this work.)

the secret is never really outed, leaf still broke the code so she gets demoted but only for a little bit. she gets her job back in like night whispers (I’ll explain later)

^^^ hollyflower would still tell all the clans, but squilf and bramble wouldn’t have a huge argument and they would be worried. squirrelflight and brambleflower go back to their normal duties and firestar isn’t mad at them because it’s not their fault so <3

hollyflower is still very upset with leafpool, all of that still happens and she ends up in the tunnels

ooh def the new prophecy gang like tawny/squirrel, storm/bramble, whichever!

I DON'T DRAW THESE BOIS ENOUGH! (I don't draw the new prophecy gang in general enough tbh) I drew their mamas too cause I think we should have more toms who resemble their moms!

Also kitten!Bramble is brown because he's an amber cat, they started off black and get their golden 'amber' color when they're adults! Goldenflower and Lionheart were the same way. Also I've never drawn Silverstream before now and that's unacceptable.

The pic of Bramble holding Storm could either be after Feathertail's death or when they said goodbye at the mountains. Either way they sad bois.

Also I may not be the hugest fan of Brambleclaw but he's a cuddly f*ck and I will die on that hill! It's comforting and lovely and he'll cuddle anybody! His adopted sons? Cuddled! His bio son? Cuddled! Both his daughters and wife and sister and best friends?? CONSIDERED THEM CUDDLED!! He got it from Golden's side of the family and all his sons (sans Jay cause they're a little turd) adopted this habit as well.
