#warriors rewrite

[basildusk]

Fanart of some gray (and silver) @redux-iterum kitties. I think of Redux!SilverGray and their forbidden kittens very often. I can't wait to see them more in the next arc!

Big cat clans rewrite - Thunderclan

Descended from the imposing Lionclan. These cats are the tallest in the territory with an average build. They have long, silky coats, tufted ears, and flowing tails. Like their ancestors, Thunderclan tom cats will grow a thick mane. Molly’s are also capable of growing manes, but it’s quite rare.

Manes are completely separate from fur length genes. It is a dominant gene and is written as Ma/ma. All pure-bred cats have two copies.

Manes can vary a lot in style. Some common variants are 'Barbary' and 'Sparse'

Okay, y'all, hear me out. Warrior cats, but instead of Firestar being a ginger tabby, he was a black maine coon?

Before I get accused of being so woke that I blackwashed a cat, let me explain how my silly little thought process works.

So Spottedleaf gets the whole "fire alone will save our clan" prophecy, but when Bluestar meets Rusty after the scrap with Greypaw, it's as if she already knew that HE was the fire that they needed just because of his coat colour.

Now, Bluestar herself got a prophecy saying that she would burn through the forest like fire. Why wouldn't she go a while completely convinced that SHE was the fire of the prophecy?

Now about Rusty's fur being black instead of ginger, black cats have something called "rusting". This is when the cat spends so much time in the sun that their fur becomes a golden-brown colour in certain areas. Rusty would've spent a lot of time outside in the sun since he's an outdoor cat, so his fur would've rusted and that inspired his owner to give him the name Rusty.

So Bluestar thinks that she's the fire that will save the clans. She meets a tiny kittypet interested in joining the clan. Whatever, she thinks. We need more warriors anyway. Completely nonchalant about Rusty's existence until he wins the fight against Longtail. He stands there in the midday sun, and his pitch black fur lights up as if he were made of fire himself. He is Firepaw. He is the fire that will save ThunderClan.

Instead of easily exposing to the reader that this fire coloured cat is the fire from the prophecy (omg who couldve guessed mind blown!!1!!1) there could be just a bit of doubt about it, because Rusty doesn't look like a fire at all. But then the light hits his fur at just the right angle and everyone can put two and two together to get a more interesting conclusion.

But why a maine coon? Why not just have him he a regular black cat? Because maine coons are GIGANTIC. At least compared to the average cat. Imagine Firepaw getting picked on because he's the smallest kit in the apprentice den, and then one winter later, boom! The bitch easily towers over Tigerclaw, a regular mackerel tabby, once one of the largest toms on their side of the forest. I just find the idea of Firestar being much larger than Tigerstar very funny. Imagine bullying an actual baby because he can't kill snakes with his bare hands and then he's suddenly 6'9 and has to bend down to talk to you.

Not to mention that maine coons have a slightly feral look about them, with their wild eyes and tufted ears. We hardly got any conflict of Rusty being an outcast amongst the kittypets for being a bit too feral. It would've been a beautiful opportunity to truly explore the cultural differences between clan cats and kittypets.

TLDR; Firestar from Warrior Cats should legally be allowed to say the n word and the Erins should hire me as a ghostwriter :3

Feeling The Urge (tm) to pick back up on the canon warriors rewite I started years ago. Where the cats are not only genetically accurate, but decended from Big Cats

The first part of it would have Bluestar, Tallstar, Yellowfang, and Crookedstar as the main cast (as their super editions take place at nearly the same time in canon) 🤔

BloodClan headcanons

- Scourge would organize raids into Kittypet homes, and steal their food, and feed a majority of the clan. Dry or wet food was fair game, and sometimes even pet birds or fish if available. Bags of kibble would be sliced, and wet food would be popped open by their reinforced claws.

- IDGAF about canon. All BloodClan cats were cared for by Scourge, while being feared he also held respect and was a good leader to his cats. Punishment would be brutal, yes, but I like to believe he was a caring leader to his cats. Feeding those less fortunate and caring for kits. Especially regarding his trauma, kits would not be harmed under his leadership.

- Now if a BloodClan were to help out a non-BloodClan cat, it would be seen as traitorous and punishment worthy. The community is built with trust and caring about each-other. Once you break that trust either by lending mercy to non-BloodClan cats, or leaving the Clan, you would be shunned and treated as an outsider. However, the “helping non-BloodClan cats” rule does not apply to kits. If a kit is in danger, it will always be saved and cared for, usually being adopted into BloodClan.

- Their reinforced claws would regularly be sharpened against the concrete, which is why they are able to slice and tear, instead of being blunt.

- The more teeth on your collar meant the higher your rank was. So Scourge would naturally have the most. Cats also decorate their collars with tags of other cats they’ve killed or beaten in battle. Some cats even steal others collars. So if you had a naked, lonely collar, you were considered on a lower rank. However, BloodClan cats were still BloodClan cats.

- BloodClan utilized the storm drains and sewer system, a popular form of punishment in BloodClan would be to waterboard or almost drown cats in the water.

- BloodClan would reach out all over the city into different factions, lead by different cats. However on full moons, all the factions would meet up like a gathering. These gatherings would be used to pass information along, and make bonds within different factions stronger. BloodClan is all still BloodClan, at the end of the day.

These are all my current BloodClan headcanons, however it might be added on to! All of these are canon in my wc rewrite

Thunderclan Family Tree; ✨Revamped✨

Hey everybody, long time no see!

Unfortunately I have been very, very busy these past few months, with work and college, and so I had to make the decision to prioritize work over making silly drawings. :(

But, as a apology for my absence, I come bearing a gift; a brand, spanking new Thunderclan family tree, rewritten from the ground up!

Yes I know I already did this two years ago, but there has been a lot of additional warrior cats content written in those two years, and with it comes many new cats to try in work in (thank you Stormclan's Folly!).

My general mindset on how I make family trees has changed as well! I realized that a lot of my old ones could be... incomprehensible at times, and my old Thunderclan tree was very much guilty of this. I now realize that most people won't be able to recognize characters based off of design alone, especially since many designs were changed, and I should have originally included the characters names too. And so, I decided to fix all of that with the new tree!

I'm very proud of this one, it took about 2 months of work to complete and a lot of scrounging around for characters, so much so that I resorted to the method of; "Well if this character isn't actually named but mentioned in the story, then technically that makes them a separate character..." Which is what happened with characters like Cicadaleap, Snifflekit, and Wiltkit (all of whom are some of the unnamed kittens present in Into the Wild).

Like the last tree: this is a free community resource anyone can use!!! While it does include many of my headcannons and changes, it's also free to change and build upon! Go nuts!!

Also; something that I forgot to add in the key is that if a cat has an * next to their name, it means they appear more than once on the family tree!

I may make some more for the other clans in the future, so stay tuned for that!!

You know what would be neat? Choosing Mentors for apprentices getting turned into a political game.

A Mentor will almost always fundamentally shape an Apprentices world view and more likely then not, create a bond between them. Every apprentice is a new potential ally and a cat on your side for a bid for the deputyship.

Connections aren't only between families and bloodlines (Maybe those will even be deprioritized by the clan structure) but between who mentored who.

Maybe warriors are almost expected to support their former mentors when it comes to politics.

Warriors will want to be assigned kits that are deemed to have talent, not only for the credit and the opportunity to watch them grow, but because if they do end up being great warriors, they can almost certainly count on their support in future attempts to climb rank.

Basically, you know what would make the Clans better, Cronyism
