SOMEBODY NAMED THEIR KITS THE SAME THING AGAIN!!!!
IT'S THE STOATKITS ALL OVER AGAIN!
😭
for context, long long ago, during Palestar's reign I believe, two kits named Stoatkit (male) and Stoatkit (female) were born alongside their siblings, one of whom was ALSO named Moonkit (and the other Sunkit!). Stoatfoot grew up in his sister Stoatflash's shadow, who was always popular, especially due to her unique vitiligo condition. until Stoatfoot was suddenly picked for deputy underneath Hickorystar, then became Stoatstar himself. his sister was super jealous though, and there were a bunch of different groups within FretClan at the time that were all infighting against each other/operating from shadows (Stoatstar and his friends/loyal clanmates; Stoatflash, Shiveringneedle, Lightningcry, and others who were 'against' Stoatstar aka "ThreatClan," though Stoatflash herself never really ended up as a threat really; and Smokystripe and his partner-in-crime-and-love Budpelt, who had their own evil agendas)
Silentstar actually succeeded Stoatstar right after all that infighting business died down and most of the involved cats were dead/elders! now i bet after the whole Unsolved Murders and Sudden Boom of Kits, he's looking at Graykit and Graykit like "not again" (even though he was born and raised after most of the conflict lol)
I suppose Stoatstar is out of the running but Stoatstar was the only one who actually held any amount of hate towards Smoky?? Stoatflash had some dislike---
---but its seriously nothing compared to Stoatstar's!!
a few cats held like one bar of dislike to him, and the elders Dewbright and Dysnomia strangely had about half a meter of dislike for him, but still?? Stoatstar is really the only option for a murder here??
...unless... does Stoatstar feel a sense of dread because he realizes his clan is trying to kill him...? he knows cats hate him, and that at least two different groups of cat's (Smokystripe's and Stoatflash's) are trying to kill him and instill themselves in power...
and here's Budpelt's mourning message for Smokystripe... they murdered Storkocean (and potentially Springdawn), and now for what?
and also Crestedpuddle's message. rip he literally just got over his previous grief at the start of this moon's events lol (i guess Crested and Smoky were best friends??)
aaaaand Stumpynudge is deputy! ...sure hope nothing bad happens to 'em lol
WAIT HOLD ON I JUST SAW THAT STUMPY WAS MENTORED BY STOATFLASH---UHHHHH STOATSTAR ARE YOU SURE THATS A GOOD IDEA???
here is the camp. i selected forest as the main territory since i had to go to bed and then picked grotto cause i am biased :3
Here is where you shall meet the cats, and the chosen territory. more polls related to settings will be soon (possibly). I will put little descriptions below the pictures, like of their personalities, but i'm not really sure if i can keep up with making image descriptions for everything-
if anyone needs them let me know, and i'll go back and add them!!!
First up are the leader, deputy and med cat, who were selected via vote! technically the med cat would've been someone else, but at the time it was the only vote and i had to go with that to get past the set up!
The leader of Crowclan is Stoatstar!!
a bit old, but he's got all his lives!! i like that he's basking in the sun :3 troublesome and unnatural senses is an interesting combination of traits for a leader so im excited >:D
our deputy is the almost just as old Primleaf!
she's got a scar on her back! she seems nice and chill, so a good balance to Stoatstar's more chaotic personality (: talking to birds is always a good trait to have, i love talking to birds
our med cat (i use this as a shortened term lol) is Burndrift!
he's also freaking old, so our leadership is looking very accurate to the U.S political system /silly. he's got a cool scar on his face, andddd his traits arent AMAZING for a med cat but i like cold, and storytelling (:
now here are the cats that were technically selected in various polls, so i didnt want to leave them out!
One day we'll have a cat under 100 moons old. very decent cat (:
yay cat under 100 moons! i love her already, pretty fur, cool cheek scar...andddd an unshakable starclan link! plus she's a mentor!! wow a cat called Frostpaw was picked....who could've predicted me picking the cat called frostpaw...
LOOK AT HIM!!! KITTY!!! pretty heart, nice personality, prebby name. i love him
andddddd now for the cats i picked because i wanted to
first upp....
Swanlilac! cause there was no way i wasnt going to pick a cat called SWANLILAC! <3 and here's where we get to the younger cats lol
i am a sucker for the name Frostpaw okay. and her fur is cool, and 'shameless' is such a good trait lol i love her. silly cat. also white paws are cute!
baby time :3 well, not baby for long she gets apprenticed on the first timeskip lol. ....yes i just liked her name
pretty kitten and also BOSSY AND LOVER OF STORIES? HECK YEAH
next i'll do some settings polls-or just make them by myself and give a settings update lol
Crowclan is moving slowly but honestly it's just for me to have a casual side thing to do so i dont lose my mind (:
(also bonus-clan logo. no crows so i just picked something close to it-)
Hello Hello! This is another part of my mini series, Steelclan Shenanigans! Surprise part for the one and only Luke! A neighboring kittypet who’s Steelclan’s honorary and singular daylight warrior. Anyways, I hope you all enjoy, and have a good rest of your day/night!
-Spring feelings-
“Quit stepping on my tail, mouse-brain!” Stoatstar jerked his tail away as it hissed at the cat behind it. “Sorry.” Luke mumbled as he followed the Steelclan leader. The two were going on a border patrol, just before Luke had to return to his twolegs at night. It made the travel easier, since the border of twoleg place was not too far away from the Meadowclan border. Stoatstar always volunteered to go with the kittypet, though, despite how the leader seemed to despise the dark brown cat. Something about ‘keeping watch for anything that could disturb the clan,’ he had said. Luke didn’t bother, he was just glad that he wasn’t just fending on his own all the time out here.
Not that he ever really was, most of Steelclan took to him almost right away. It was the other clans, especially Forestclan, that had a more difficult time adjusting to him being there. But Luke remembers, so clearly, how fiercely Stoatstar had stood up for him at a gathering. How piercing his icey, blue eyes were, how its light brown fur bristled as it told the other leaders off in a way that Luke had never seen from the leader before. It made Luke’s heart race every time he thought about it, and it provided an odd sense of comfort, knowing someone like him would have his back.
“-Luke?” He snapped out of his daze and up at Stoatstar, who unsurprisingly had a judgemental look on his face. “You didn’t hear a word I just said, did you?” Luke looked sheepishly to the growing stalks of water reed as they passed by a small pond. Stoatstar only sighed and turned his attention back to the path ahead, “Of course you didn’t. I would expect nothing less of you.” For the first time in a while, Luke finally spoke up, “I mean, I’d guess you wouldn’t keep your expectations too high for me anyway.” Stoatstar…tensed, ear flicking once. “What do you mean?” He asked.
“Oh, I don’t know. Just with me being a daylight warrior, and not a real warrior like you or the rest of Steelclan.” He admitted. Luke startled when Stoatstar suddenly stopped in his tracks, and he was met with a firm yet caring gaze from the stoat-colored cat in front of him. “Don’t call yourself that.” Stoatstar lectured, though it lacked any bite. “You are a real warrior, Luke. I’ve seen you, and you are just as capable as the rest of us are. You’re one of us now, Luke: a Steelclan warrior, just like me or anyone else in the clan. You have been for a while. And if I can’t make the other clans realize it, then I’ll be damned if I can’t make you realize it either. Because you’re more than just the simple kittypet they think you are.” Luke’s heart felt like a fish leaping out of the water, he was truly touched by the leader’s words.
“I..I don’t know what to say, thank you..” Luke mewed, and Stoatstar shifted back into motion. “Don’t mention it.” He mumbled, it seemed to be a bit more embarrassed from the raw emotion of the lecture. Luke couldn’t help the warm and fuzzy feeling stirring beneath his pelt as they made the trek to the twoleg fences lining the border. The two stopped before the tall wooden fence that marked Luke’s home, or ‘twoleg nest’ as Stoatstar had called it. Luke always found the little names that the clan cats had for kittypet terms endearing, it was quite entertaining to see what they could conjure up. “Well, this is it..” Stoatstar said, but Luke couldn’t help but notice the twinge of longing in his eyes as it stared at the top of the fence.
Luke didn’t want to wait any longer, so he brushed his cheek onto Stoatstar’s chest fur. He felt the cat stiffen beneath his pelt, “Luke, what are you-!?” It had yowled but Luke’s hushed voice quickly interrupted. “I don’t want to go back yet, just a few more moments, please..” Stoatstar muttered something about worrying the clan by staying out too late, but he didn’t move away, quite the opposite. Slowly, carefully, Stoatstar had curled his lanky tail around Luke’s smaller body, resting its cheek on top of the dark brown cat’s head. The silence that followed was comfortable, before Luke had to pull away. He was hesitant to meet Stoatstar’s gaze, but he didn’t have to, as the slim warrior pressed his nose to Luke’s cheek briefly before quickly pulling back.
Luke stared up at the flustered leader in surprise, whose ears were flattened, but not out of distaste (mostly). ‘His ears must be hot from embarrassment,’ Luke guessed. The little cat simply smiled and quickly pressed his nose to the light-brown cat’s before pulling back again just as it had done with him. “See you tomorrow then?” Luke couldn’t help but purr with delight. Stoatstar was the one to shy away this time, as the leader looked down to the side. ‘Yeah whatever. Just go back to your nasty twolegs.” He muttered, but Luke was only amused further by the leader’s antics. “Alright then,” Luke said before he hopped onto the top of the fence, stopping at the top as he called down to the cat on the other side. “Stoatstar?” The leader looked up at him, “What?” The dark brown cat chirped, “I love you, you know that?” Before Stoatstar could respond, light shined from the twoleg den as a tall twoleg seemed to be calling for Luke. The cat disappeared over the fence, leaving Stoatstar alone in filtered light before darkness had fallen onto him once again. “Yeah..” He murmured, staring after where Luke had been. “I love you too, Luke..”
