you would think making a family tree and THEN a timeline would have made it so i properly mapped out ages and avoided any underage parents but
no. no that would not be the case. the opposite in fact
y'all think canon warriors is bad? that bt ages are bad?
ur not ready for my Generations ocs omg
like. like. somehow. in mapping the Reverse Generations i did not. consider the families, and how old cats were, and when they would be apprentices/warriors. which not only lead to many very VERY young leaders (like. just became warrior and now im leader situations).
but also. many "i just graduated and also gave birth" situations.
there's Beetlespots and Cloudtuft who have their litter at 10-11 moons old, which, yknow, thats fine. one young couple with an unplanned pregnancy? that's normal
but then there's THUNDERCLAN.
who starts it off with BLUEPAW (later Bluetail) having his daughter when he's 9-10 MOONS (and i had to quickly make up some loner bs because there was no available in-clan mother at the time vksjdfksj)
and then, in the SAME apprentice group as him, Sootmask and Needlecloud graduated EARLY and have Smokekit, to which Needlecloud DIES tragically during birth, because she was also 9-10 moons old!! (which actually fits quite a lot with their whole story but thats besides the point) and yeah irl 9-10 months old is pretty normal for stray cats (but still not ideal for them) but it GETS WORSE
BECAUSE THEN, SOOTMASK'S SISTER SWEETCLOUD ALSO GETS PREGNANT/GIVES BIRTH AT 11-13 MOONS OLD, and her mate is still 7-9 MOONS OLD and it is VERY hard to pull the "uhhh he also graduated early haha!!!" card here because HE NEEDS TO GRADUATE ALONGSIDE HIS FOSTER SIBLING FOR (MINOR) PLOT REASONS (side note: there's only ~4 moon gap between Sweetcloud and Furzestep and they were in the nursery together so its not like a grooming situation, though you could argue there was a power dynamic or smthn idk)
AND IT STILL DOESNT END THERE!!!!! because Furzepaw/step's foster sibling SPIKETAIL---who is ALSO Bluetail's DAUGHTER that he had when HE was TOO YOUNG---ALSO GETS PREGNANT YOUNG AND GIVES BIRTH TO HER KITS WHEN SHE'S STILL 10-12 MOONS RANGE.
specifically this generation of warriors got so fucked over. no sex education in thunderclan i guess. wtf
