"You were never supposed to be here"

Hi my life has been nuts, have some Moonshrike with SpottedTiger in the background because I'm NOT DEAD

Happy pride month, have some FireShrike flavored Squirrelflight and Leafpool! Inspired by an old comment I got on my Fireshrike pondering post..... Thinking extremely hard about them and how this AU would effect them.

I was in a cat design mood, and now I'm slightly obsessed with their shared star marking???? Emberflight's a chunky butch and I'm especially fond of her design in specific LMAO Very orange, very fluffy, perfect combination of her parents.

These girls probably have some insanely crazy Starclan connection stuff going on with how their family is set up in this AU. Cursed family²

New Mini figure set just dropped, cursed family edition. Let's GOOO

Tigerclaw, Moonshrike, and Spottedleaf, because who else would it be, the brainrot is strong with this AU.

*anthros your cursed family*

I think this is the first time I've actually drawn Tawny and Bramble in this AU?? I've needed to get around to doing that, it figures it'd be in an AU of the AU LMAO

It'd be a lot more clearly rural midwestern if I colored it, it looks extremely basic right now- I'll probably color it and post that some other time because. These cats take so stupidly long to color, especially Moon and Spotted- Torties my beloved and belothed.......

Tawny's a dilute tortie like her aunt and grandma, while Bramble is a brown tabby like his dad

Moonshrike and Firestar doodles (Including an itty bitty Firepaw and Moonkit.) Something something doomed leader and medic duo, something something bound by social pressures of being young and tied into prophecies, something something immeasurably close pair of murder cats. I've been thinking about them a lot tonight for whatever reason-

Here's the solo pieces:

Not my usual art style, but I actually had a ton of fun doing these pieces?? Idk, we love experimentation in this house.

Let them be gay

The little gay people in my phone yearn for the FireShrike, and I have to indulge them. Here's a doodle.

Part of the reason I love Moonshrike posting is because he's basically unintentionally tailor-made to have been something that would've absolutely grinded my younger self's gears to the fullest extent

✅️ OC in a canon setting

✅️ Spottedleaf AND Tigerclaw's kid

✅️ Shipped with arguably the most important character in the series

✅️ Heterochromia

✅️ Very strong spiritual connection with any afterlife he's exposed to

✅️ Outlandish and 'untraditional' name in the first series

✅️ "YOU CAN'T USE MOON AS A PREFIX, THE ERINS SAID IT'S FORBIDDEN-"

My younger self would've eaten him ALIVE, he would've been sending me quotev "is your warrior cats oc a Mary Sue" quizzes and trying to give me backhanded advice on how to fix him that would completely ruin the point of his character and story LMAO

Posting this doodle I did for my last post on it's own, because I find it funny.
