Quickly posting this here for today so I can start focusing on some Poké oc and oc x canon Ship Tober !!!
It is my strangest creation yet... The Warrior Cats Pokémon Black and White OC x Canon AU
I decided to make Ghetsis akin to a maine coon, making him an absolutely huge cat. His pelt has eye patterns and I picked a grey-ish color to avoid making him straight up green.
Melony is a black cat yeehaw !!! I really wanted him to be basically a void with eyes. He qualifies as a long liquid boy, and will fit almost anywhere.
N had to go through a change in color palette too, so I picked warmer colors. He is a golden brown tom, and his pelt has wing patterns on his shoulders. The fur on his neck and tail replicate his hair texture ! N is also a very long boy.
Dardanne is a calico tom ! The WaCa people might see the trans representation there. He keeps his short height, and his neck and tail fluff replicate his puffy hair !
Under the cut you can find helpful WaCa lore for the people who have never heard of it, alongside the story I quickly made for this AU !
(TW for usual WaCa things such as mention of violence, murder and death)
General WaCa lore you might need !
The Clan has a religious system known as "StarClan". They send visions to the living cats through the medicine cat to warn them or guide them.
A medicine cat serves as both a medic and a prophet. They typically hold a lot of power in the hierarchical structure of the Clan.
The Clan also has a leader, always having a -Star suffix, and a deputy, who helps the leader, and eventually succeeds to them.
A cat's name changes to indicate their rank. -Kit is for kittens. -Paw is for apprentices (teenager age usually)
Apprentices are always mentored by an adult cat for around half a year, in order to form them into either a warrior or a medicine cat.
Cats outside of a Clan are known as loners (neutral cat with no Clan), rogues (enemy with no Clan), stray cats (neutral/enemy cat living in human territory) and kittypets (domestic cat)
Humans are called ''twolegs'' in-universe
The current story goes as follow !
After being severely injured in a battle, Thornfang is forced to step down from his deputy position. While he recovers, another cat is picked to handle his duties, and becomes the new permanent deputy. This was actually an excuse to get Thornfang out of the reach of leader position, as Alderstar (Alder) was starting to doubt his good nature and motivations.
Furious to have lost his position of power, Thornfang fakes a StarClan sign, and manages to become a medicine cat. This starts a long list of faked StarClan signs that would strangely always align with Thornfang's ideas.
Thornfang becomes extremely good at lore-keeping and herb knowledge, including knowing which plants are deadly.
After the previous medicine cat passed away after having ''accidentally eaten a prey who had eaten death berries'', Thornfang is left as the sole medicine cat of the Clan.
One day, he brings home a litter of three kits - Leafkit (N), Rosekit (Anthea) and Daffodilkit (Concordia). He explains having simply found them, but there are rumors about him fathering them with a kittypet. Thornfang vaguely acts as a distant father figure to the kits.
Thornfang focuses all of his attention on Leafkit, who has a special bond to StarClan. Thornfang uses the kit’s ability and his own status as a medicine cat to present Leafkit as the rightful future leader of the Clan. Most cats agree, as Leafkit demonstrates his prophetic abilities regularly.
The Clan welcomes a young lost kittypet, Quiet (Dardanne). He is renamed Quietpaw and is mentored by Batflight (Melony).
Leafpaw is mentored by Freezepounce (Zinzolin) under Thornfang's request.
Simultaneously, Thornfang takes his nibling, Fogpaw (Sibyl), as his medicine cat apprentice.
There's a clear group that appears within the Clan at this point, consisting of Thornfang as its leader, and Leafpaw, Quietpaw, Batflight, Fogpaw, Rosepaw, Daffodilpaw, Freezepounce and Rootnose (Rood) as his followers.
Leafheart and Quietstalk become warriors. Fogpaw is named Fogsight and becomes a full medicine cat.
As Leafheart, now a warrior, is quickly propulsed to the deputy position after the previous deputy’s passing, Thornfang uses their father/son bond to ''guide'' his adopted son. He persuades Leafheart and his group to make a coup in order to get rid of Alderstar, using his position as medicine cat to convince them, telling them that it is StarClan's will.
The coup is soon revealed, and while several of Thornfang’s allies are forgiven and stay in the Clan, such as Fogsight, Leafheart and Quietstalk, Thornfang himself and several of his followers (Batflight and Freezepounce) are banished.
Leafheart regains the trusts of his clanmates, and when Alderstar steps down from his leader position, Leafheart succeeds to him as Leafstar. He picks Rootnose (Rood) as his deputy.
During this time, Leafstar and Quietstalk officially become mates. Meanwhile, Thornfang and Batflight start their own relationship.
For the BW2 arc, Thornfang now resents his birth Clan Tigerclaw-style. He allies himself to several stray cats, including Palette (Colress). They attempt to lead a huge dog (Kyurem) to the Clan’s territory, in hope of destroying it and killing off the Clan's population. Thankfully, the plan is derailed by Leafstar, Quietstalk, Rosedew, Daffodilsong and Rootnose. Batflight is severely wounded by the dog, to a degree where even a medicine cat like Thornfang can't heal him.
Thornfang retreats to the twolegs territory, dragging Batflight with him. They get adopted by twolegs, who nurse the both of them back to health.
They basically become instagram cats, renamed to Fluffy and Bat by their twolegs. They later father a single kitten, whom their twolegs name Licorice (Nach Attacca)
Meanwhile, once everything is back to normal in the Clan, Leafstar and Quietstalk father a litter of three kittens, Robinkit (Appoline), Foxkit (Scoot) and Squirrelkit (Calixte)
If you're interested, I have a pokémon focused account !!
I recently made a Warrior Cats AU on there, so I thought I'd share it here ! It focuses around the main antagonists of Black & White, Ghetsis and N, alongside my ocs, Melony and Dardanne ! :)
pov : willice rants about The Broken Code Jayfeather (SPOILERS FOR THE BROKEN CODE)
It's been a full year now that I decided to re-read every single Warrior Cats books, as a teenager I stopped at OotS, so I re-read all of TPB, TNP, PoT and OotS. I am done with DotC (I have many opinions) and just finished AvoS, so I am starting TBC (currently at book 2).
Clearly the Writing Team™ has big, big issues with how to handle Jayfeather and his personality. Jayfeather was meant te be blunt and to freely voice his anger and concerns with little respects for other feelings sometimes, but he was never meant to be outright mean and antagonistic, was he ?
He went from a personal favorite of mine in PoT and OotS to a very unlikable character in TBC. He actively bullies and isolates Twigkit in AvoS (when he was previously known to be patient with kits??), but I can tolerate this mischaracterization i guess
But TBC Jayfeather ??? I don't know if it's just the Writing Team™ being extremely bad at understanding his character, or if it's the first symptoms of the Onestar disease, but I am kind of scared of how he will evolve in the 4 following books :(((
In the first two books of TBC, Jayfeather can hardly go through a single conversation with / about Shadowsight without straight up insulting him, his intelligence and competences. He had opinions about Willowshine and Kestrelflight, but he would rarely, if ever, straight up disrespect them to their face like that. Now, he actively participates in all the gossip around Shadowsight and characters will say "Jayfeather said Shadowsight is just a featherhead !" because Jay's opinion is that valued and important. (idk the actual English insults, all my books are in French, so you will have to suffer the French horrors sorry guys 😔)
At some point, during a Gathering, Jayfeather just tells everyone that Mothwing doesn't believe in StarClan. In front of the five Clans, the leaders, the deputies, the other warriors, like, everyone. Just because he was personally pissed at her opinion.
Just as a reminder, the Clans are all extremely faithful and the lack of faith has been a plot point several times, showing emphasis on how important it is for all cats to show devotion to StarClan. Medicine cats are literally meant to talk to StarClan. And in general, the Clans are known to be agressive to anyone who doesn't respect StarClan, thinking that if you don't follow StarClan's commands then you don't have any moral values at all.
Another reminder, Mothwing is not only the daughter of Tigerclawstar, she is also an ex rogue. She got her medicine cat title only because her brother created a fake omen, because her status as an ex-rogue made her an outcast in her own Clan. Mothwing has been known to be more vulnerable to isolation than other medicine cats.
So huh, yeah, Jayfeather just put Mothwing, an already vulnerable she-cat, in extreme danger, throwing her under the bus in front of absolutely everyone, including her own leader, her own deputy, most of her clanmates, and most of the other Clans members. Mothwing is shocked, obviously, and quickly says that she does believe StarClan is real, just isn't devoted to them.
The response of the Clans to this revelation is so out of character and disconnected from their agressive violent culture that I had to re-read the whole thing a few times.
The Clans just go "weird flex mothwing, but ok" and go back to their business (business being : questioning why StarClan isn't communicating with them anymore). From what I know, the revelation Jayfeather just made is never going to impact the story ever again because Mothwing gets banished for the crime of being a ShadowClan cat's child. So this whole scene is just there to show that Jayfeather will use precious informations against others if he gets annoyed at them ??? I don't know if this is bad writing or character assassination at this point man😔my po3 jayfeather would never.
None the less, Jayfeather KNEW how dangerous such a revelation could have been. Every single medicine cat, including her own apprentice Willowshine, kept the secret, because they all KNEW it would endanger Mothwing if the Clans discovered the state of her faith. This was literally a plot point in TNP with Leafpool like COME ON WRITING TEAM™ YOU HAVE TO LOCK IN !!!!!
I know this scene is canon (sadly), but this depiction of Jayfeather is just so alien to me. Jayfeather knows what it's like to be different and to be special, why would he insult Shadowsight over and over again when the kid is obviously struggling ? Also Jayfeather has been accused of murder and was on thin ice at some point, he knows what it's like to be accused in front of a whole Gathering, why would he do that to Mothwing out of all cats ???
Do you have any opinions on this ? Do you think this is just normal Jayfeather behavior, or do you think it is the Writing Team struggling to grasp Jay's personality ? I would like to know what you feel about that because from all the fandom discourse I did read, no one ever talked about how flabbergasting Jayfeather's behavior would be

Thank you all for sending your help and support towards this person and his family !
I’d just like to say that you and your comics about Lionblaze have made me care for him and his character more than canon ever could dream to, thank you. I never actually gave him much thought before and saw him as annoying, but now I’ve seen the possible potential he could have as a character because the booms just screwed up his personality, and I love seeing your Lionblaze content. I especially love seeing him as a med cat and him getting closer with Leafpool
Your comment means so much to me,,, I am so happy I helped you appreciate the Lionblaze,,,,
Canon did him so dirty by wasting his potential making him ''standard warrior main character''
The canon will give pieces of his personality, but all these pieces are so incredibly under-exploited and incomplete
As an example, him having moral OCD in PoT is genuinely a really good idea knowing the extent of his power, but they just throw this plotline under the rug in the next book (knowing that it's very hard to get rid of OCD lol) Like we see him losing it in the mountains, we see him going ballistic on Crowfeather and Heathertail. Lionblaze knows how dangerous he can be if he isn't always holding back in battle, and it scares him so bad he has vivid nightmares about killing his loved ones. I think it's the first real time in Warriors we had a main character who had the full potential of becoming a villain the moment he stops holding back. Like that's genuinely really good storytelling, and they just??? throw it away in the next book like it never happened????
This dude kills Russetfur, which should have been his worst nightmare becoming reality. That's it, he finally killed someone. Because for just a few seconds, he got so worried about his leader being attacked and probably killed that he stopped holding back. And yet this is less of a plot point than the obviously accidental death of Flametail. Like Jayfeather tries to save a cat who is drowning and is called a murderer during a Gathering, but Lionblaze who kills Russetfur in front of at least 20 cats, that's fine he was just being silly. Like the writers were writing Lionblaze like crap on purpose at this point they had completely given up on him lmfao
We also see his compassionate and empathetic side shine a few times, mostly when he is the one who forgives Squilf and Leafpool the easiest and the fastest. Lionblaze idolizes Brambleclaw and shows a genuine affection for his dad several times and it's genuinely wholesome. Lionblaze has a few really sweet moments with Leafpool and Squilf in OotS :) i cherish these scenes so much.......
He isn't perfect of course, far from it, he can be a douche (mainly to Heathertail, Breezepelt and Dovewing), he is hot-headed and doesn't think before he speaks or acts, he struggles to communicate properly, he often has a weird tunnel-vision in OotS and doesn't listen to Dovepaw's problems with the care it deserves. For most of PoT, despite going through some tough training as an apprentice and later as a newly made warrior, he is almost completely oblivious to the fact that his own mentor Ashfur as a personal beef with him. As someone with the autism rizz, Lionblaze's communication skills are just so autistic to me. This dude has almost no friends, even his ex-apprentice Dovewing isn't on very friendly terms with him (understandable because he was a bad mentor tbh), he feels safe only around his close family, and messes up almost every friendship and relationship he has because he is incapable of communicating properly. Him trying to date Cinderheart was just Lionblaze being absolutely incapable of understanding her point of view, and then proceeding to literally self harm by letting a ShadowClan massacre him to show Cinderpelt he could be harmed on his own will ?? Like what goes on in the Lionblaze's head ?? is he ok ???
Also they could have made him a medicine cat.... I yearn for the Lionblaze medicine cat plotline so much...... Lionblaze being so incredibly scared of hurting anyone again after his nightmares, or after killing Russetfur, that he just drops all the warrior duties and hides in Leafpool's den all day...... also Jayfeather could have been a warrior 100%, we clearly see him fight very well when he is in tandem with one of his siblings, he is capable of running on ThunderClan territory with no issues once he learned the layout, like there's so excuse anymore StarClan just wanted to ruin his life for entertainment
anyway
They could have done do much more with the Lionblaze.......
AU scene that takes place when Hollyleaf is believed to be dead in the tunnels !
i've always been bothered by how Brambleclaw burned the bridge so easily with his adopted kits just because they weren't biologically his. They were victims in the situation, just as he was, and the fact that he never tried to understand that is just baffling to me ???
We see Squirrelflight and Leafpool actively trying to talk it out with Lionblaze and Jayfeather, but Brambleclaw never attempts to reassure them. He just says a few lies when Hollyleaf comes back to defend her, and we are meant to believe that it means he still loves the Three, despite ignoring them and not caring for them over several books ???
The isolation Jay and Lion feel in their chapters in genuinely saddening at times, their own clanmates judge them, they have to deal with their real parentage, and their adoptive father has decided to stop caring about them because they aren't related. I wish Jay and Lion told Bramble how much of a douche he is for abandoning them while they were obviously in need of support and comfort :(((
Fun fact I like to imagine that Jayfeather has a big growth spurt at some point and he is just really long and skinny while Lionblaze is short and stocky and is 90% fur (forbidden lionblaze body type)
-Lionblaze transman, autistic and won't pick up any social cue.
-Lionblaze is not a calico, he is a chimera
-Lionblaze big guilt and OCD over his power
-Lionblaze fears he will end up like Scourge as a part of his OCD (i have to find a way to let everyone know that Scourge is related to Firestar tho....)
-Lionblaze and Toadfoot only aknowledge each other in The Fourth Apprentice when they are on their way to the beavers and they become gay
-Lionblaze keeps his personality from late po3 (kind of dumb, can't pick up any clue, very ocd, is socially very awkward and clumsy, clearly needs help to navigate social situations properly)
-Lionblaze is very much the same as in canon, very flawed, he is still the most forgiving of the 3 and does try to talk it out with Squirrelflight and Leafpool, he feels very isolated in his clan due to the prophecy, the lies around his birth and Hollyleaf being presumed dead, which makes him more prone to have a relationship with an outsider instead of a thunderclan warrior
-Toadfoot also went through losing a sibling (Marshkit), he doesn't have a canonical father so I think he would be very attached to his mom (Tallpoppy) and remaining sibling (Applefur), he is also seen being playful, friendly and understanding towards Flametail I love toadfoot
-Lionblaze and Toadfoot have big rivals to lovers energy and it was my favorite weird "crack" ship when I was 13
-The AU also centers around the flaws of StarClan and their weird mechanic that keeps changing over time (ashfur goes to starclan because he just found his way there, and leafpool gets to go through a whole trial somehow???)
-Living cats and StarClan fight dark forest first, and then living cats turn more or less against StarClan for being as incomprehensible as possible, doing blatant favoritism, letting bad seeds get in and throwing out overall good cats, and the warrior code will also be reformed because it's way overdue grrrr
-Maybe Dovewing and Ivypool are the babies of Hollyleaf and Cinderheart instead of Birchfall and Whitewing ? I never really liked that Dovewing was indeed linked to the 3 but she was so far away in family tree tbh :((
-Lionblaze will have babies with Toadfoot as some point (Maybe adopted ? I don't know yet) and they won't have many children, and I will do everything in my power to get rid of all the current incest in the books >:(
-I think the babies of Lionblaze and Toadfoot will look like Tallpoppy and Leafpool because i love them
-Leafpool, Squirrelflight and Tallpoppy will both be aware of the relationship at some point, but they will keep their mouth shut and be supporting mothers because they are very cool and progressive
-I don't know if I will ever write fanfiction about this, I am already working on a clangen project, so if I do anything about it it will only be a small side project ! I use this AU to rewrite things that make me happier than the canon version (like making transman OCD autistic lionblaze, i find it easier for me to relate to him) :)
I hope you like it, I shall disappear again for a while now, I have art fight attacks to work on >:)
hey y'all. i really didn't wanna make a post of this nature cuz i really dislike having to ask for help, but i'm kind of between a rock and a hard place rn.
i cannot afford groceries. my boyfriend and i were budgeting hard to use our money for them, but we've gotten to a point where neither of us can afford groceries for the foreseeable future.
we can afford rent, but only if we give up the money we were using for groceries. we currently have just enough food to last us maybe another week, but after that it's gonna be touch and go.
i've got commissions open on my ko-fi, please consider commissioning if you can. i need at least $50 cad ($36 usd i believe), i'm sorry i know that's a lot to ask.
i have also decided to open a patreon, where i show off some wips and behind the scenes stuff for both phoenixclan and my youtube channel, if you find that to be a better deal. currently the entirety of phoenixclan 7's sketches are up, if you want to see them.
i will take suggestions on what to add to my patreon also, so please let me know how i can make that more worthwhile for y'all.
Support Aries Temporis On Ko-fi. Ko-fi lets you support the people and causes you love with small donations
Sunny Sunshine, the puppet Vtuber!
thanks for listening. i'm sorry to ask this of you all.
I've forgotten to log on my Tumblr for a few months, a lot of things happened (my pet guinea pig had three babies + lots of family stuffs + i finished reading DotC and AVoS and let me tell you I have thoughts and opinions)
I will participate in Art Fight this year : ) I will try to revenge as much as possible !
on the positive hand: when crowfeather dies the evil will be defeated. harestar probably only needs to hold on a few more books until he's too old to be leader. he's getting on in years. he can go at any time.
on the negative hand: hey guys who is ready for the inevitable scene once crowfeather dies where he and leafpool kiss and marry in starclan and she devotes her entire afterlife to being crowfeather's heaven wife despite how much better she deserves. who's ready for this one guys. who can't wait
I would 100% take a dead Crowfeather over Crowstar
Of course Leafpool deserves better, but I just won't be able to handle Crowstar. If Crowstar happens, I will display behaviors and act in ways. It means this guy will get 9 lives and that we will have to wait until he somehow dies 9 times. Judging by Bramblestar or Mistystar's longevity, it could take YEARS to get rid of him.
And even worst, if this man, this horrible little furred man, gets 9 lives, he could stay alive for five, six, seven more canon years, and once he finally drops dead after somehow outliving half of his Clan, he will STILL get to cat-heaven and he will STILL cat-marry Leafpool, so the end result will be the same but with more agony
since tumblr is going to start scraping blogs to train ai be sure to glaze and nightshade your art!! Not only will both of these programs protect your art from being copied but nightshade also poisons any ai that tries to steal it
