Day 5: Relationships!

Now I've got a multitude of OCs, but I LOVE character relationships! My all time favorite + some special mentions :)

Starting with Troutspeckle and Dewspot

They are close in age and joined the group around the same time. Heck, Dewpaw was originally the one who found Troutpaw lying in the snow in the first place!

I like to imagine they're BFFs and bond over being, like the kids of the group. :3

(More under cut)

Next: Nora and Axel (Cyprus when he knew her)

I brainrotted SO HARD abt these two when developing Axel

They were BFFs, like THE best friends!! Playing games, doing mischief, and always taking on missions together when they could! They were the dream team and my silly self couldn't help but mix in secret and unrealized pining (mostly from Nora, but Cy knew deep down she felt the same)

But as the story goes, Cyprus was special to their guild master, and she got pulled away more and more and influenced to be so unlike herself, and it caused a huge rift between her and Nora

Nora didn't take it personally, he saw the good in her when he could, but Cyprus was quite far gone in her ego, even thinking of him as beneath her in terms of power and wits when they used to be on the same page :(

Unfortunately, there was no room for apologies after years of disconnect, and he died before anything could ever change for the better.

Next: Ophelia and Maye (so weird to have backwards!)

There is no relationship post without bringing up the girls that infested my brain for like basically a year LMAO

Their relationship to this day is rocky, and unstable and unhealthy, but damn they can't get enough of each other and they love each other so much

Poor x Rich is always a terrific trope, especially when the rich is prone to spoiling and the poor is so meaningful in their symbols of love :(

Strangers to friends to strangers to always have been lovers <3 glorious to me

I'd have to make a separate post about their whole thing... it's actually way too much

Next: Caitlyn and Alice

I don't have any like, solid art of them especially not in human forms, bc they're two oc my "mainly writing" OCs so I don't think to draw them, ever

They were my first ocs to be like, romantically involved? In a complicated way?

Caitlyn was an average nobody student only known by her friends and a few other classmates, and Alice was a delinquent with discipline issues so severe they moved her around the state multiple times :/

But in the original story, Alice stood up to some kid harassing Cait, and Cait fell super hard.

In my rewrite, Cait and Alice met bc of shared classes, but they got close bc Cait's friend Jackie blackmailed Alice into showing up to a Christmas party and kissing Caitlyn under the mistletoe,,

Which only went so well because people bond when they share something stupid or uncomfortable. Alice thought it was funny Caitlyn believed the scary rumors about her, and Caitlyn didn't want to make Alice feel left out... but I definitely think kissing her as a second impression is kind of pushing it tee hee

They're so very much in love and it's a classic nerd x jock thing, and Alice is oh so silly and a secret agent and Caitlyn can't help but worry about her when she's gone!

And for the record... I could totally talk about Warren and Jessie but nobody is ready for that yet :) let's get comfortable before we get there

[warriors-but-cats-die]

thunderclan — year six — newleaf

ah. so.

dewspot and jaypaw die. it's not even like. in a meaningful way. and squirrelflight just.

squirrelflight is so fucking done. she says Goodbye to hollypaw and lionpaw and that she loves them Very Much and that she'll be back some day but that she needs to go like. somewhere everyone she loves doesn't Keep Fucking Dying.

also berrynose, poppyfrost, and cinderhert become warriors.

posting these in the chrono order they happen, instead of when i drew them

The No Names: Warrior Cats edition where I, jooce, made my friend's ocs + mine into warrior cats to promote my furry/wc agenda

Troutpaw and Dewpaw sleeping in before the rest of the group comes back from the morning hunt

The One Where...

i blast this indulgent animatic i made :D

>> link here too <<

[warriors-but-cats-die]

thunderclan — year five — leafbare

next year is The greencough outbreak, but this one is bad, too. cinderpelt and jaypaw don't have enough herbs stocked up to deal with it.

four apprentices die: echopaw, pinepaw, arnicapaw, and mousepaw. dewspot is the only suviving cat from his litter to become a warrior.

as implied, jaypaw, hollypaw, and lionpaw are apprenticed to cinderpelt, greystripe, and whitewing, respectively.

oh yeah! greystripe and millie come to the clan. millie is...kind of forced by mousestar to take a new name. she becomes firdapple.

foxkit and icekit are born this season. i think. my notes are weird -- this was a season that got messed up, and i'm future mallow coming back to make things clear. so. we think fox and ice were born this season.

other victims of greencough and leafbare are: foxkit and longtail.

birchfall, ferncloud, and dustpelt are all exceptionally protective of icekit. ferncloud has not had luck with her litters.
