The idea for this has been kicked around in my head since I saw the Shut Eye PMV. Now it exists. Sorry.

Orchidstar (the cat saying that they're thirsty) belongs to @rileys-battlecats ! Check them out!

All of the Clan leaders of WotRR! Image descriptions are in the alt text for the images.

In order they are:

HollowClan leader, Wolfstar, she/they. In a loving lesbian relationship with her deputy, Rabbitstalk. Grumpy but is otherwise well-meaning. Has a soft spot for kits and apprentices, and for her mate as well.

LeafClan leader, Batstar, they/them. Small in size, but they make up for it with a boisterous personality. Can be a bit excitable at times and somewhat forgetful, but they do a good job of leading their clan through hardship regardless.

MarshClan leader, Maplestar, she/her. Far too young to be a leader, she got the position due to nepotism. Tamarinstar, the leader before her, was her father, and made her deputy after the previous deputy died mid-battle, despite her not having taken an apprentice before this. Her deputy, Whitethorn, is definitely doing most of the work, for better or for worse.

RustClan leader, Orchidstar, he/they. Orchidstar was the clan's medic when Mudstar, the previous leader, was in power. Mudstar went mad with power after the death of his mate, Dustfleck, which he blamed on his son, naming him Maggotkit as an insult. Mudstar began claiming all the food collected for himself, and he didn't trust his clanmates enough to ever appoint a deputy. Orchidfeather knew that Maggotkit was the only cat Mudstar trusted, and so he convinced the kit to give his father a mouse after Orchidfeather had poisoned it. Mudstar died due to the poison, and the clan voted to have Orchidfeather as leader. Also he's a trans man. He was born with the mutation that gave him a second set of ears.

SilkClan leader, Scarletstar, she/her. Strict, blunt, and to the point. She was raised in the image of her father, Hartscar, a warrior renowned in all five clans for his battle prowess. With time, Scarletstorm climbed the ranks herself, taking over for her father as deputy when he retired to the elder's den.

I will post more info about the world and various characters over time, currently the project is not anywhere near a completed state.

All art is done by me, I drew the base I am using.

I am not a fool entire No, I know what is coming You'll bury me beneath the tree I climbed When I was a child I know I shouldn't love you I know I shouldn't love you, but I do

Been thinking about my warriors ocs a lot lately, namely Heronstar and her sister Orchidstar. They were never close and Heronscreech grew up resenting her sister, believing that she was faking her kindness, Orchidpetals love however was never fake, and when she eventually became RiverClans leader she made Heronscreech her deputy. This backfired on her however as Heronscreech attacked and killed Orchidstar in the twolegplace, blaming BloodClan for the attack, and rising to the rank of leader. Even in death Orchidstar holds Heronstar close to her heart.

Oh my god 0lease tell me.abput Bumblenose

ABSOLUTELY MY FRIEND

This fucker. this absolute bastard man.

i have so much to say about him that would spoil the story but honestly i dont plan to make it a comic, its just my own silly fanclan ANYWAYS. heres a rundown of his story for u anon <3 tysm for asking abt him so i can ramble on abt my story

so he’s always been a jealous fucker and when his clanmate Sootstripe reveals she’s pregnant, hes furious. not because he liked her, but because he liked her mate, Lionclaw, and thought he was too good for her. to calm his jealousy and such, he has a fling with a kittypet named Bonnabelle, and soon brings a young Cricketkit into camp. nobodys questions him, as their clan has been raised on the belief that any cat is welcome, regardless of origin, and will not be questioned on it

a few moons pass and he’s given one of Sootstripes kits as an apprentice, Darkpaw. and to try and make this shorter, one day he snaps and kills Darkpaw. another apprentice, Creekpaw, witnesses it in a ravenpaw fashion, while hunting. Bumblenose notices her and forces her to be silent about it otherwise he would kill her the same. she, being stubborn as hell, tells her brother Badgerpaw, the medicine cat apprentice, who Bumblenose would assumedly never kill.

nd basically their story is finding some way of getting Bumblenose to be exiled but its proving extremely difficult as the leader, OrchidStar, and Bumblenose are very close, and she trusts him with her own lives

so shortly after Badgerpaw becomes Badgerwillow, he rounds up all the cats he trusts most. his sister Creekpaw, Darkpaws brother Slushpaw, and bumbles son, Cricketleap, and reveals to the other two the truth. Slushpaw immediately trusts the med cats words, while Cricketleap is shocked his father would ever do such a thing, but eventually comes to realize its all too true

so they confront him(minus cricket) aaand suddenly the whole camp is on fire. someone from another clan set their own camp on fire for reasons i might explain another time but it spreads to their clan at that time, so they all have to run and abandon it

while trying to escape, bumblenose, badgerwillow, and cricketleap get stuck in one area and the badger further confronts bumblenose. he attacks badgerwillow, saying he ‘had his reasons to kill darkpaw’, and is about to snap the medicine cats neck when hes thrown off by Cricketleap.(for reference, Bumble is average cat size and Cricketleap is a fucking behemoth. mainecoon size. bumble got launched.)

Cricket yells at his father about how horrible what he did was, begging him to explain why he did it, why did he kill his own clanmate? And at this point, Bumble doesn’t care now, thinking hes about to die and attacks his son, not wanting to go down pathetically. it leads to Bumble getting himself killed by the two, and they escape the flames, telling the clan that Bumblenose hit his head while trying to escape and died that way. hes mourned, but the clan soon comes to realize he is nowhere to be found in starclans realm.

*btw the reason creekpaw and slushpaw still have their apprentice names is due to OrchidStar. she refused to name them after they nearly died trying to fight an alligator all on their own. their reason was they wanted to try and speed their apprenticeship up, buuut they just got very banged up because of it.

A bit of an art dump, I took some requests from my friends on Discord from that 100 palate challenge I reblogged a short while ago

(You guys know most of the characters, but the cat is a warriors OC of mine, Orchidstar)

[swiftshadowtm]

I’ve really been wanting to see a picture of Orchidstar (one of @bramblewing‘s OCs), so I finally just decided to take a shot at making her myself! I can’t art very well, and I wasn’t sure how to do the grey splotches, but I think it came out alright

[rileys-battlecats]

ohhhh could u introduce the new characters from shut eye?? at least the cat that was with larksong and foxjaw

Absolutely!!

I've actually introduced the one with Lark and Fox before, their name is Ospreyclaw and they're the clan deputy, as well as Larksong's previous mentor and Foxpaw's current mentor. The leader at the time, who shows up in several frames, is Orchidstar.

Another cat that I've introduced before and shows up in the background a few times is Buckfoot, the clan's healer at the time and Owlpounce's mentor:

A few of the other background character that appear are ancestors of many current-day micaclan cats:

Heroncall later becomes the mother of Gullytuft and Possum (which means she's mudpaw's grandma!), Oriolewing ends up as Robinsong and Wrentail's mom, and Addereye is connected to Sandleap in some way that I haven't decided on quite yet. I actually haven't decided on if addereye is a boy/girl/other yet either lol

There are a few other recurring background characters in the video that I haven't fully fleshed out yet, including some of the other survivors!
