When Raccoonstar first learns about what being agender is, he goes "So, Raccoonkit is a gender? Can a cat be a gender?" And then Forestshimmer smacks him on the head. Raccoonstar would be great morally if he wasn't a serial killer.

”great morally if they weren’t a serial killer” is now my favourite character description

@frightnightindustries

you know what would be really funny?

if orchidseed's next litter consisted of two kits, one fathered by raccoonstar and one fathered by forestshimmer... but the kit fathered by raccoonstar is named forestkit and the kit fathered by forestshimmer is named raccoonkit

Orchidseed had no idea they were brothers and they also didn’t know that the other would also be a father to the same litter

Raccoonstar acts kind of like if Goofy was a serial killer, but Forestshimmer gets caught like a deer in the headlights when he interacts with anyone in the Dark Forest face to face. If he's just in the shadows with his weird sort of glowing eyes or talking to a living cat, he is suave and smooth.

Two things:

1 ) now I really want a movie that follows a serial killer Goofy, Disney get on it

2 ) I like the idea of Orchidseed coming across Forestshimmer doing this and still deciding "yeah I'll have kits with that"

Story: 

Gazes were an interesting thing to Forestshimmer.

The disapproval of Doeshade.

The shock and horror of his victims.

The joy of his kits.

The energy of his sibling while they carried out their deceptive acts.

The gaze of StarClan as they recited the prophecy from so long ago.

"Keep the harvest bright, plant the forest with strong roots."
