i'll make this look decent once i can sleep @the-rockclan-crier - Tumblr Blog

Runningpaw and Goldpaw are six moons old and just apprenticed. Their father, Owlmolt, died when they were two moons old. Their littermate Twigkit died at four moons old. And now their mother, Maplewhisker, has died just after their appentice ceremonies. Both of their parents were adopted into the clan, and their only other relative is their half-sister Leafstep who isn't exactly close to them

Still no sign of interest in herbs in any of the kits, but Runningpaw at least wanted to be a medicine cat apprentice

Manda joined RockClan with her two kits (now Bitterhusk and Conchsong) and has watched them grow with the clan these past 19 moons (barring Bitterhusk's tragic murder). As she recovers from her poisoning from a poor hunting patrol, she dedicates herself to the clan as well and take on the name Echoseeker

Everyone but Maplewhisker is all in one moon, and Birdclaw's got another litter due next moon

decided to check in on the dark forest and

good luck with that buddy, they're deaf

Minnowswarm was also among this moon's deceased. Rosestalk never got to introduce her to her mother in WeedClan

Leaf-Bare Y34 is really the season of juxtaposition of life and death. Another four cats have died (including Twigkit and yet another medicine cat in Pebbleskip, taking us down to two for a clan of nearly 100), and Birdclaw has also announced that she is pregnant

Both of Tumblecurrent's children have died in the same moon. Cleareye died of whitecough, and Dewmask was killed by an unknown predator

I guess that's the conclusion to Dewmask and Shadowheart's turbulent on-and-off relationship

#tumblecurrent #cleareye #dewmask #shadowheart

Junipercover, Mottlepelt, Charheart, and Cherryquill have all announced they are expecting kits in the same moon. Hopefully one of them is interested in herbs because another of our medicine cats just died

Oh god i just realized with Jaggedlake and Skyjoy's recent deaths, Pearstar is the only founder cat still alive

Cherryquill has made it to young adulthood! She has a wasting disease, so it did get a little scary sometimes

Also apparently, Deepsmoke was the one who murdered Gregory?? (Gregory died btw) I must've missed the line where she confessed it to Pearstar of all people (who besides being her great-grandfather is also the clan leader?), and by the math, she was an apprentice of 11 moons of age at the time?

So i guess that's another cat for exile! What the fuck!

Don't worry, Deepsmoke, you and Shrubshadow will get to know each other very well once he admits to his own murder as well

I clearly need to get my mediators doing more than convincing other cats to mate up, goddamn

MORE MURDERS IN THE CLAN?

So apparently, if i want to check if anyone hates each other, i need to check beyond everyone's first page of relationships 😅

Longstride and Bitterhusk are dead, most likely by Muddapple and Shrubshadow, respectively.

Interestingly, Shrubshadow thinks the rest of the clan is better off without Bitterhusk and doesn't get the grief. Meanwhile, Muddapple is mourning Bitterhusk (who was his apprentice until two moons ago), and Shrubshadow (another of his former apprentices from a couple years ago now) wants to get to know him better

In the same month that our most experienced medicine cat died saving another cat, dearest Puddlesound murdered Coldsnout by purposefully giving him the wrong herbs!
