New HC for Nutmeg of Warrior Cats
This is only for the genetically accurate side, otherwise it doesn't matter, but fun to see if the genetics can somehow fit. Nutmeg is a genetically red cat. However she appears to be a brown tabby. This is due to her being a chocolate-based red and so resembles cinnamon. Check out messybeast to see this is possible. Which is what's going on with her daughter Princess as well as any other of her kits with Jake would also be genetically red. And could also potentially explain Leafpool too. On a side note anyone know much about Susqutranese cats?
Hey while you're at it, you should contact your reps and tell them to support the No Kings Act to reverse the immunity ruling
(If your legislator is a republican, just tell them how "dangerous" it would when a leftist president has the same lack of accountability)

If you need further help in a quick format, here is one, but i urge you to also add in the details for requiring an investigation, not just recount.
I know its a shitty situation and were tired but we still have to try to fight for a life that's worth living.
If you can blaze this post, GO FOR IT!!!
This is my current warrior cats tree iteration. I have moved a lot of the characters around on the tree. I only have first arc and prequel book cats. I have no doubt I'm missing some as I began this before Riverstar's Home. There's too many cats in the books, but then there are a lot in real life, but it'd be nice if the allegiance's we see only listed the relevant characters in the book and then had a guide elsewhere for other members for like NPC's. And yes this has a lot of cats on it where I ignore some of the twoleg tech in Dawn of the Clans due to calculations on twoleg to cat levels of what ancient means. And as it is fiction a couple characters outside Rock from canon lived quite a long time... that being Half Moon (Stoneteller) and Lion's Roar.
This was supposed to be used for my fanfic Bluestar's Battle, but may have altered even more... we'll see. All in an attempt so that cats are no more closely related than either third cousins or second cousins thrice removed. I'm a little concerned about adding cats on it after the first arc...
On most cats that have been given a name, if one clicks on biography one shall find a list of genetics. Those can be ignored if one chooses, but for those that like a bit more realism... just note that not all cats got names or genetics listed due to the size of the tree. This was another tree, but has a lot less on it and a few other changes in regards to Sandstorm's parents and Tigerclawstar's...
When I say “free water, free food, free shelter, free healthcare, free education for everyone” in that “everyone” I even include the people I hate. Too many people get surprised at the idea that I do wish for the people I hate to have better lives.
When I say EVERYONE, I mean EVERYONE. These are things ALL people should have. If you reblog this saying “except THIS group” then you’ve missed the point entirely.
i want to remove the boots from necks altogether, not just be the one to put on the boot.
Don’t know about OP, but when I say it, this is not selflessness! It’s not selflessness at all. There are still people I would prefer get fucked over! There are really awful shitty people in the world!
But I understand that the tables always turn. ALWAYS. There is no final glorious revolution where The Right People will be in charge forever. The only way to ensure the boot will never be on your neck again is to throw away the fucking boot. Set the table so you eat well no matter which way it turns!
ALL OF THIS. Leave no one behind. We all deserve food, clean water, clean air, healthcare, housing, electricity, internet, and so forth. No matter who you are, you deserve to be able to access and have what you need to survive.
So yes, yes, yes to “throw away the fucking boot.”
I want the people I hate to step on Legos for the rest of their life, not have that life ended prematurely because of something totally preventable

Welcome to the next Chapter of Bluestar's Battle, Chapter Two. Just posted it less than five hours ago.
Goosefeather HC
Either Goosefeather is a descendant of The Sisters, and it skipped which ever of his parents share The Sisters blood... or Goosefeather himself sired a litter of kits with a she-cat, like a Visitor that WindClan usually allowed to 'visit'.
An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works
Welcome kits, apprentices, warriors, and elders alike to the true first chapter of the fic. The first chapter lists the cats in the allegiance and the second chapter is a short prologue.
There's some OC's tossed in for genetic variety more than anything and some relations wont be the same to pull away from the closely related first cousins and what-not as much as is possible.
This is Bluestar's Battle and is a rewriting of Bluestar's Prophecy. Some things will be rehashed with a few details added in, but at some point there will be at least one or more major changes before we get to TPB cast.
I'm thinking of giving more cats POV's in this, though Bluestar is certainly the one with the most chapters, but would like to know who you're interested in seeing a POV from even if its only a chapter or two. I might call those Interlude Chapters depending.
I have a plan for Goosefeather, but wonder if anyone would be interested in his POV within Bluestar's Battle, or not... if there is his POV at least what's going to take place wont come out of left field, yeah?
Enjoy! I look forward to hearing about what you think and what suggestions you might have that I may or may not take into consideration.
Spotfrost, transmasc son of two former loners who heard about the clans and tried their best to create their own. They as yet don't have a connection with StarClan and Spotfrost was the only one of four kits that survived their first litter. Their second litter was miscarried. Their third litter is much younger than Spotfrost and has two toms.
Spotfrost is trying to recruit other cats to the clan their parents began. In the 48 moons they've witnessed they have been a rival with the leader of a group of rogues. That cat is...
Dancestripe was once a kittypet who was stolen from his feral mother. He escaped before they could get him to the cutter. Never again did he find his mother, but he took over the land she and his lost littermates had been stolen from. He's trap savvy and has saved many a cat from being trapped. Ergo his band of eight, including him, has been hunting the lands of his birth. However there's an annoying cat calling him Dancestripe even though his name is Dance. He can't remember what his mother called him... so the twoleg name it was. One day during a scuffle as both their groups are being attacked by unfriendly dogs - the ones with high prey drives compared to others - there backed into a corner inside the same tunnel. There's a cave in, though they're not buried and can still breathe. They have to work together albeit begrudgingly to get themselves out. At least the noise startled the dogs and sent them running, and no one died though there are injuries. Only Spotfrost's group has any kind of healer though. This is the beginning of their love story... but never the end. Even as separate groups the love between the leaders, Spotfrost and Dancestripe would shape the future of the two clans, and two of their three kits would go on to become the very first with the suffix of -star and the third kit... no one is sure what happened to them, for history doesn't say.
Refurbished Warriors OC's
Refurbished Warriors will have some OC's here and there. This is only to make the family trees less related going into the TPB Arc at least. And that shall be something to strive for going forward with any of the Arc's. Bloomtail is an OC and his mate is Vineleaf another OC. Together their kits are the canon cats Patchkit and Leopardkit. They have an added littermate, Ravenkit who is an OC. They also have a foster sibling in Snakekit who is also an OC. Snakekit's parents will be revealed in Bluestar's Battle. Batpaw and Mistypaw are OC's. They are the kits of the unnamed as yet brother if Smallear and an unnamed she-cat. The unnamed she-cat's family has loner's in it going back three generations before them. Smallear and his brothers family goes back to loner's around that time too. This helps to reduce how closely related the cats are as Batpaw and Mistypaw's parents share no blood ties save for their descendants. Although I imagine that any cat joining might have been seen with some suspicion, but if there was a huge famine and the clans were teeny tiny I imagine they might be more welcoming... but only in times where they had very few cats. Vineleaf is an OC. Instead of having Swiftbreeze and Adderfang as the parents of Patchkit and Leopardkit, Vineleaf and her mate Bloomtail are their parents. Violetclaw is an OC and her mate is Finchflight. In the case of Finchflight things get a little bit confusing. But they'll have a descendent one day named Finchfeather who should be the mate of Dawncloud, though that could change as it's not all set in stone yet. With Finchflight, Violetclaw has a single kit, Galekit. Acornpatch is an OC. She is the mother of Littlebird and Silverflame. Briarclaw is an OC. She was supposed to be a deputy of ShadowClan sometime in the past, but I'm not sure if I can squeeze that tidbit in or not. But she stepped down and/or retired so never became leader. She is the mother of Cedarstar.
Morningpetal is kind of an OC and yet not. I divided Morningflower into two cats. Morningpetal is Morningflower's paternal grandmother. Morningpetal's mate is Quietnight. Together they have a son named Jackdawswoop. Wildburn is an OC as is his mate Shadeclaw. Together the pair have two daughters, Tansykit and Tormentilkit who are also OC's Pipitcloud is an OC as is her mate Spottedmoth. Together they have a single kit, their son Arguskit, another OC, who is named after an Argus Moth. Moorstripe is an OC as is her mate Lightningcloud. They currently have two daughters, Daisypaw and Irispaw both of whom are also OC's. Twitewing is an OC and their mate Jackdawswoop is also an OC. Together they have no kits yet, but will have Morningflower sometime either during or after Bluestar's Battle. Fawnshy is an OC and mates with another OC, Creekminnow. Together they have Brambleberry, Timberfur, and Ripplekit. Snailcliff an OC and his mate Pondlily another OC have Brightkit, Shimmerkit, and Owlkit. Quailthorn an OC and his mate Lavenderclaw another OC have Pikekit and Applekit another OC. Egretkit an OC is the littermate of Volekit and thus the daughter of Hailstar and Echomist. Petalkit and Beetlekit are foster-kits. Dustkit is an OC, the littermate of Mudkit and the daughter of Ottersplash and her mate Timberfur. Lilystem and Mudthorn are the parents of Crookedkit Stormkit and Oakkit. Why Crookedkit has that name will be revealed in Refurbished Warriors at some point. In this Rainflower is Lilystem's littermate mother. Rainflower's brother is Hailstar who may also be a littermate. I debated on Hailstar being their father, but ultimately went for a trio of siblings.
Akrisios is an OC and the father of Danae another OC. I may or may not post more about the family trees here, but would that be considered a spoiler due to the changes?
Refurbished Warriors
Renamed in Refurbished Warriors... Thus far only a few cats have been renamed. Either to do away with some of the ableism, or because I want certain words as names to be a too sacred that they wouldn't be used. Or if there name didn't make that much sense as they seem to either 1. Name kits after their appearance's or 2. Name kits after a friend or family member.
These are just the cats renamed for Bluestar's Battle, a rewrite of Bluestar's Prophecy. Sunfall -> Dawnfall Sun will not be used in names, though it is a pretty prefix/suffix. But in this verse, no. Any other its fine.
Windflight -> Breezeflight
One-eye/White-eye -> Silverdove Honestly why would a parent name their kit this?
Halftail -> Sparrowpelt as that was his original name Halftail would be great for a cat who was born with half a tail, but not for being renamed that due to losing half one's tail.
Tawnyspots -> Drizzletuft (Though perhaps I cold change him back and have him be a chimera cat, as I can't think of any other reason for him being gray but with brown spots. I'm not sure at this moment...)
Moonflower -> Duskflower Moon will not be used in names, though it is a pretty prefix/suffix. But in this verse, no. Any other its fine.
Scorchwind -> Scorchwing No cat can use Shadow, Sky, River, Wind, nor Thunder in their name be it prefix or suffix. These names would indicate the cat is more important than any other cat in the clans.
Foxheart -> Foxthorn It's not nice to name anyone an insult, even if it might be a fitting name.

This is an attempt to rewrite the series with some changes to ages and to the family tree. This does mean there are some OC's, but they should be background cats.
An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works
One young house cat in their plummet into despair finds themselves on a journey that they never would have expected to take. Perhaps the song of the wild will beacon them to a new destiny, but will they be determined enough to stay the course when so many things are stacked against them?
I find the idea of leadership in WC clans working on succession by tanistry to be a really interesting possibility. It could work not only to better justify the amount of nepotism going on but also I think making the clans more explicitly based off celtic clans could help them shave off some of the vaguely Native American-appropriating vibes they carry due to careless worldbuilding and thoughtless use of terminology like "medicine cat".
For the uninitiated, succession by tanistry works thusly: at the ascension of a new chieftain/king, the clan elects their successor, called a tanist. A tanist must be an adult descendant of the previous ruler. Thus, so long as they're of age, the current chieftain/king's siblings, children, niblings, grandchildren, grandniblings, and so on are elligible to inherit.
I'm not working out a full family tree just yet, but pondering how this might apply to ThunderClan as we see it in Into the Wild alone brings up interesting possibilities. For instance:
What are Redtail, Lionheart, and Tigerclaw's relationships to Bluestar? To each other? Presumably, they would've been close family so what does this say about Tigerclaw's ruthlessness in seeking to be elected as tanist/deputy?
Does Fireheart's ascent to deputyship thus imply he was adopted by Bluestar? Did she do it because of the prophecy? Did she think it meant he was supposed to be leader one day? How does this tie to the Clans' views on adoption?
And bringing it a little forward:
Would Brambleclaw, on account that the last leader was Bluestar, still be descended from the last leader and therefore elligible for deputyship? Or would he be too far removed from the direct line to be considered? Could Firestar have adopted him in turn? Or did he end up turning to the DF in frustration at the fact he won't ever be allowed to bring his ambitions to fruition? Was Tigerstar's pitch perhaps "If that kittypet hadn't meddled, I'd be leader right now and you could be deputy"?
Is the Clan perhaps expecting Squirrelpaw be perhaps considered a good candidate for deputy/tanist once she comes of age? Would she fell pressured to grow up into a good candidate? How does she feel about this whole system?
Overall, very interesting stuff. The wheels are turning on my head but I've got more questions than answers at this stage.
Wait this is so cool I'm tempted to do something like this for roc but idk 🤔
How Old are the Clans? (HC)
I believe Rusty joined the clans in the year 2003 AD by human standards. I believe the clans were older than 60 years, but instead were 200 years as by definition ancient in a historical sense would need to be 1400-1500 years old in human years. I believe that would equate to 200-214 cat years, ergo 2400-2,568 moons. So the year the formed was in 1803 AD. After determining this I for a third time had to go back and recreate the cat family trees. And oh boy did that already take a long, very long time. Well back to the drawing board as it were. This was determined on 11/21/22. Between the Ancient Tribe sending cats from the mountains to the clan territories there could not have been that many years due to Lion’s Roar and Half Moon still being alive and Lion’s Roar wasn’t even considered an elder. Ergo I will need to adjust that timeline as well when redoing the family tree yet again. I’d have said he was six moons if not for cats that were elders that weren’t mentioned during the journey to the Tribe of Rushing Water. Ergo he was an elder age wise, but not considered one yet and Half Moon was certainly an elder or a Super Senior/Super Elder to have lived so long... but then she never left the cave so I’m sure she was quite an age. Possibly 15-30 years... but due to Lion’s Roar being around I’m thinking no more than 15 and she was a young Sharp Claw... so I’m thinking she was a year old during the journey... and the Tribe of Rushing Water was ergo established between 1773 and 1788 AD.
Before the Ancient Tribe, in the time of the Ancient’s I believe they had to have been around the Lake for 200 years as well. This would have The Ancients establishing their base around the Lake between 1573 and 1588 AD. Now The Sisters as they were found around the Lake or at least near it were either also descendants of The Ancient's or the Ancestors of The Ancients. I’m thinking Ancestor’s due to how their society is structured and that they were established 1300 AD. Also on another note... I probably will not be using the Warrior Cats website family tree due to timeline inconsistencies, huge age gaps (although I do enjoy a well told May/December Romance story), and how closely related some are... a couple more degrees of separation would be nice like maybe no closer than 2nd cousin 2x removed, or 3rd cousin. They’re animals after all, but also at that point there’s so little genetics shared that it’s not too awful. Have a gander at this. Second cousin’s twice removed share less than 1% DNA. Second Cousin’s Twice Removed and 3rd Cousin’s share approx. .781% of their DNA. The person walking on the street with you even a total strange usually shares an more DNA in common with you than that and not even be related to you. Also, it is possible for 3rd cousins to share no DNA at all, but still be considered related due to shared ancestor(s). Another Another Note: I cannot find RL examples of certain cats due to how rare it is for that combination of genetics to exist albeit possible. And I love having visuals on the family trees... real cats, artwork with permission, or Sims 3 cats... the latter I might have to do but that takes so long and it’s now more than a handful that just has no available RL images to use as references.
How come warrior cats never have fleas or tapeworms?
These guys lucky, all they have to worry abt is ticks apparently
For the fleas, catnip and rosemary work as deterrents. They’d also work to deter ticks too. So why don’t they line the nests of the elders with rosemary? Pumpkin seeds, or Parsley water would be for tapeworms though the dose would be needed each day for up to three weeks for the latter. https://www.felineliving.net/home-remedies-tapeworms-cats/
