so burdocks represent hard traditionalism, honeysuckle is regular traditionalism and thistles are thistle law.

Do you have set plants for Fire Alone/soft traditionalism bordering on Fire Alond

I hadn't, because the idea of using burdocks to represent cats like Mudclaw had only struck me so recently, and then it hit me. I know EXACTLY what flower represents Soft Traditionalists.

It's blackberry flowers. Bramble.

It looks a lot like a completely white Forget-Me-Not, which is the flower of Fire Alone. Five petals for the five Clans.

Like honeysuckle, it grows in tangling, hardy bushes, preserving the old metaphor that "fighting makes the Clans strong"

But unlike a honeysuckle, it bares sought-after fruit and has protective thorns against outside threats.

Softer Traditionalists, like Heartstar and Tallstar in hindsight, will frequently use diplomacy and agree that rules of engagement are a sensible idea. They try to soften the violence of the battle culture and are open-minded to some reforms, but, they typically don't want to go much further.

And Bramblestar himself is pretty emblematic of that. At his WORST he's more of a perfectly mid-line Traditionalist, but at his best, he's here. He'll use diplomacy until it's just getting in the way, he feels like going any further with a compromise is just letting ThunderClan "get pushed around." Ultimately he still agrees that the 5 Clans should be separate, unless there's an outside threat they need to unite against. Like an invasion or a natural disaster.

He didn't have much of a problem with attacking the Sisters, after all. Regardless that his decision was heavily influenced by wanting to hurt Squirrelflight, he justified it to himself with his political feelings about "protecting the Clans."

In the modern era, the Clan's overton window has massively shifted towards Fire Alone. So Soft Traditionalists are really common, and "true" Traditionalists are what we'd consider right-leaning instead of JUST centrists.

To recap the flowers:

Thistle Law = Bull Thistle

Hard Traditionalism = Burdock

"True" Traditionalist = Honeysuckle

Soft Traditionalist = Blackberry/Bramble

Fire Alone = Forget-Me-Not

SkyClan's politics are different because of their unique origin, and they like to use leaves instead of flowers to represent themselves due to their relationship with oaks.

Because every warrior cat fan needs to draw the best cat ever at least once.

I am very excited about the new visual novel. It looks great! Still figuring out how to buy it. Should I wait for the full release and buy the box set? I'm sure there will be a box set. Maybe it will be translated?

Regarding the books: I am at the 4th arc rn. Fading Echoes. I like Dovepaw sofar. She is nice. I hope nothing bad happens with her. 🙃

Also I am not ready for Firestars death. 😭

Firestar without "Fire Alone"

Alright so I know I disappeared off the face of the earth for a while about my warrior cats rewrite but it was for good reason. I've been having A Crisis.

I've been trying to deconstruct Firestar into a more consistent character, one worthy of the change he's supposed to bring to the clans. But it comes back to this. Ultimately, he is "chosen" (let into the clans) because Starclan approves of him through prophecy.

I've been trying to walk around the question myself. But maybe I shouldn't be. Maybe the real question should be: How does Firestar end up a part of the clans without ever having the support of a prophecy? And can that even be done?
