Could I request SpottedTiger, either just as a pairing, or for a hypokit? :> If not, that's absolutely fine!
Oki!! This is of course in a universe where they aren’t weirdly retconned into being related (same for anything else I’ll draw. I refuse to draw anything incestuous. It’s icky)
Behold! Spottedtiger painting! I like to have them do this in shifting stars too. Tigerclaw tryharding and focusing super hard while Spottedleaf is just having fun and probably messing with him. Plus a bonus in the top left lol
And here we have Batfeather and Fenneltail!
Name explanation and such under break thing!
Bat for their ears and tendency to sit and listen rather than talk, with feather being from their stealth and being quiet, along with Featherwhisker and Goosefeather influencing Spottedleaf on that choice!
Fennel because it’s a sweet and fuzzy looking plant. I imagine fennel herself is a chaotic sweetheart really. Tail comes from Redtail! Maybe she was his apprentice, or just super close with him! I love legacy naming man
I made Spottedleaf based a bit off of a sick/infected leaf, while Tigerclaw is of course based off of a tiger (shocking I know)
Their dynamic is super fun to play around with tbh. The banter would be legendary. Even just as childhood crushes, the tragedy and drama of her dying as a result of his actions……….
I’ll probably alter her design eventually, but she came out looking like a fresh poptart and I can’t stand to change it.
So to explain her parentage!: I like Ivyblossom as these semi-toxic on-and-off lesbians. During one of their “breakups,” Blossomfall has a fling with the former kittypet (inspired by Bonefall) Fernsong!
The next day, she and Ivy are a thing again, and after a bit… uh oh.
The ladies get their shit together, with Fernsong as a lovely papa who even offered to stay out of the picture (despite desperately wanting to be there for his kits)
In case you can’t read it, the bottom left says “My mommies said you should kill yourself” spoken by dear baby Bristlekit
Reedshine x frecklewish for the thing? I don’t think about them much but. I can get behind them
We got some lesbians!!! Reedfreckle is super cute tbh, I can absolutely get behind it. I’m a bit of a basic reedmaple or maplefreckle, but tbh any of the three is great.
I imagine that it’d be either Birchface or even Applefusk who would surrogate-sire their kits. Maybe Appledusk doesn’t tell Maple about it because of how possessive she is (doesn’t put him in the right though! Same for her!)
This would also mean Reed uses him as a cover, and then Apple uses her as a cover too.
It’d be quite the drama either way though! Plus, just a cute ship!
They all have songbird names because I think that Daisy would name with a theme. And this theme happens to be songbirds. Even though only Finchcrest really looks like her name.
We’ve got Cardinaldust- the goober. The silly. The only tom, a transmasc, of the sisters. He traded genders with his sister Robinberry. They’re best friends for life, Robinberry the troublemaker ringleader while the more cautious Cardinaldust just follows suit. They’re messy and chaotic and the clan loves them so much because they still do their chores and help the elders even when they’re not asked to.
The dust and berry just sounded cute, I have no real justification for the names lol.
Meanwhile, Finchcrest is the neat, prissy outlier to her siblings. She’d probably be best friends with Blossomfall, insulting and judging everybody in sight, until Blossomfall insulted one of her siblings, so they get into a fight and start telling the clan the other is horrendous, and then the next day they’re besties grooming where the other can’t reach (totally not lesbians though… totally……)
Have no idea what was going on but I saw the ship asks and wanted to know could I request BirchApple? 👾👾 think of the potential..
Your Birchapple!!
Sorry about the bottom right, some incel meme got fused into my mind whenever I thought of these two and I couldn’t help it.
I kinda fw this pairing. It could be cute. It could be used to make appledusk suck. It could be both. It’s up to interpretation!
Maybe Birch is Apple’s escape from Maple’s possessiveness since he can’t leave her without being outed, and when he accidentally kills birch it *destroys* him
Maybe Birch is just another side piece for Apple.
Who knows.
Honestly? I prefer a mix of the two. Apple kinda sucks but you also kinda see where he’s coming from. That’s my Apple thoughts.
Birchface is just a sweetheart in my mind
The original under the cut. No clue who the source is. Warning; it is. Weird.
Two hypokits, fresh from the oven! We’ve got Hops and Cotton!
Hops is a high energy transmasc farm cat turned kittypet! He visits his dads frequently though! His kittypet name is Panda, after a red panda. He is always getting into some kind of mischief!
Cotton is a deaf, strong kitty who will be running the farm once his dads are gone. His name of course comes from his white fluff- resembling a sheep!
Hops is Raven patterning with Barley coloring (calico!), while Cotton is Barley patterning with Raven coloring!
do you remember swiftdaisy. how do you feel about it. 👁️👁️
I mean, I personally murder swiftpaw violently (he’s a lovely person but you gotta do what you gotta do). But as a concept? Love it
I’m a Ferndaisy enjoyer above all, but the idea of this sweet “southern hospitality” motherly loving lady and this scarred, traumatized strong warrior falling for each other goes hard.
Daisy so did the “who hurt you” thing 💀
Swift being the dad who stepped up (OR, the father of rose and toad) is such a lovely concept too.
Tbh I don’t rotate it in my mind often. I just think it’s cute.
