Jghjj I am just imagining Black Star getting ordered around by a 19 year old, and then disagreeing with something and suddenly remembering "Wait a second, I am the leader."

Lol, pretty much!

I do need a reason for Blackstar to start disregarding her advice when the twolegs actually come, so maybe Bramble and her talk about their dreams together and get caught or something. Which would also add to the tension already between those two.

Then sprinkle in a little "God and my former Boss's daughter have forsaken me" mentality and you've got TNP Blackstar.

What are we

This took SO fucking long, but I hope it's still an enjoyable read! I left it open ended to leave things up to the reader on how Stan replies, I thought it'd be a fun little angle to take. Sorry again for taking so long! Asked for by: @yumiko0987 What if he moved on? Were we even an item? You mused, watching the third day of Taiju's wedding from the edge of the crowd. Watching everyone dance and drink and celebrate while the energetic brunette seemed just as happy to marry his bride as the first time. Everyone was bursting with joy like party poppers on new years, love was in the air, it was a wonderful day. And yet, you couldn't help but angst over the day. We were friends at least, I know that, but he was worlds closer with Xeno. Maybe Stan's more into him? I mean, we were childhood friends, but I still came into his life after Xeno.  And, of course, the perfect answer to that question would include you being the one walking down the aisle. Being wed to the elegant marine that had occupied your dreams and heart since childhood. Yet, that wasn't for you to choose. So, in the end, you could only sigh and leave the buzzing bubble of celebration to try and clear your head with a walk.           "Get ahold of yourself," You ordered into the air as you strolled, letting your head fall back so you could look up at the perfectly blue sky. As if the world itself was celebrating with the happy couple. "All I have to do is ask. I'm sure Stan would understand why I'd be unsure on our status after so long. Just gotta find him, and ask." you continued, the simple framing of the task, just ask! it's no biggie, giving you a small ember of confidence in your chest. No matter the answer, it wouldn't make your friendship with Stan weird, at least. Right? So, you set off from your mindless meandering to search out your old childhood friend. Trying with each step to keep that small ember from being washed away in the waves of cold, stubborn nerves in your belly. Yet, when you did finally find the tall, silver-haired marine lost in thought, smoking on a bench at the edge the growing stone-age city, there was no hope to save the burst of courage from being swept away in the tight feeling of anxiety climbing up your throat. Shit, this is such a bad idea. How do I compete with Xeno? Even if we did get together, I'd be second in the priorities.          "Oh, hi there." Stan hummed, his captivating voice snatching you out of your nervous spiral. "Why aren't ya at the wedding? Finally tire of the booze and cake?" You shook your head vigorously at that, already feeling your cheeks heating up.          "Oh, uh, no. just...wanted to come find you." You answered, receiving a hum in response.          "Why'd ya want to come find me? I've celebrated, I doubt I'm wanted back that badly." He pointed out with a snort. The reminder of your friend's crimes making you wince a little bit, but you shook your head again.           "I just had a question, I wasn't going to drag you back to the wedding party." And that got you an eyebrow raise, but he left you ample opening to ask said question. So, you spent a long moment just broiling in popping nerves and skittish thoughts until you finally reminded yourself, He wouldn't care. Just ask, real simple. So, with a deep breath in, and out. You spoke,            "Stan, what exactly are we? Relationship-wise."

🐺 DNDGrandpa has asked I take an idea we’re tossing around to the great thinkers of the different thought-seas.

We are heavily discussing doing a timeskip with the closing of our partys 2nd act but given that there are other player parties making up our guild we arent sure how to describe the passage of time for them in a way that doesnt push them to also do timeskips?

Oooooooh this is a good question - and I might mostly just open it up to DnD tumblr

My initial thought is if there's activities that your party is doing in the timeskip, y'all could be like described as doing that in the background of the rest of the guild? Idk

I was thinking, instead of the travel group discovering the lake, and all the clans agreeing to leave because of just how at each other's throats hey all are

What if Starclan essentially went "HEY DIPSHITS, YOU ARE GOING TO DIE IF YOU STAY HERE" and have them a general direction for the lake. Then Basically everyone immediately packs up and independently hauls their entire clan up there, probably fighting all the while and trying to strategically place themselves in the best position in this new territory.

I was gonna give an immediate "no," but the more I think on it, the more I think that actually might work better. There's not really a use in the story for the individual cats to go to the Sundrown place, especially considering all but two of them don't do anything after that.

I don't want Starclan to interfere so directly, cause then the clans kinda have to move their asses at the same time and that's kinda boring. So instead, how about the send dreams to the cats who would be the Sundrown patrol in the canon books before the twolegs start destroying the forests that they gotta haul ass soon.

But, in typical Starclan fashion, they're very cryptic about it. I'm having Feathertail and Stormfur follow Mistyfoot back into Riverclan cause Thunderclan has too many cats and Misty needs them to back her up later. Anyway, only Tawny tells her leader while Feather tells Mistyfoot and the other two don't tell anyone for the time being.

Brambleclaw doesn't because he's not the most popular warrior and also doesn't believe Starclan would want him for anything. Crowpaw for similar reasons and also cause he's an apprentice so why wouldn't Starclan talk to Mudfur about it Both of them kinda dismiss the dream while Blackstar dismisses Tawny's concerns.

But then the twolegs come and, to keep a long story short, Windclan leaves first, followed by Thunderclan, Shadowclan, then finally Riverclan. While there's like a few moons between Windclan and Riverclan leaving, they all arrive within a quarter moon of each other, thanks to the dangers of the mountain, fighting and infighting, losing their ways, Sharptooth, blizzards, and Starclan intervention.
