i haven’t read the books in a long while and don’t have a clue who anyone past like, ivypool and dovewing’s generation are, but i have a vague grasp and even vaguer characters to go off of, so here we are anyway
-Jake is bi, polyam, and mates with Quince, Nutmeg, and Talltail/star at the same time
-all four of them are trans
-Jake’s mother, Crystal, really doesn’t like thunderclan because of the raid’s done in Pinestar’s book. she’s big, fluffy, and built.
-Crystal has a mate, (which is mentioned in her wiki) Mocha, apparently a brown town with green eyes. In my HC, he’s a former windclan warrior that became a kittypet after falling for Crystal and getting Brightheart-like scars from a dog that got into Windclan territory. He’s small, short-furred, and fairly calm (until someone gets wronged)
-Jake’s siblings, Ferris and Whiskers, are a class clown, troublemaking duo that got adopted together by their two-leg. Their mischevious, silly, and remind me of Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer from the 1998 Cats production.
-Ferris and Whiskers are identical
-Jake is a cat who chugs wife respect juice every morning, and is very enthusiastic. i’ve never read tallstar’s novella/super edition so i get to pick his personality. Small, stubby fluffball who can’t speak clearly for the life of him and is very supportive of his mates and kits.
-Rusty and Princess were Jake’s first litter, then Quince’s three, then Filou, Luna, and Tommy.
-Rusty met Tiny and knew him for a few moons before leaving, and always felt like Scourge looked awfully familiar, only realising who he was when Squirrelflight was born with the same paw.
-the one white paw came from Mocha, then to Jake, then Scourge, then Squirrelflight, and probably one of her kits after that.
-Filou, Tommy, and Luna are inseperable, living right next to eachother. Filou is an anxious wreck, Tommy inherited Ferris and Whisker’s class clown-ness, and Luna is the more fighty of the three, protective of her (same litter) baby brother but still gets into playfights with Tommy. Firestar never met them personally, but they know of him through Princess.
-Oliver, Princess’ mate, is near identical to Cloudtail, except he’s massive. he’s calm, understanding, basically the Actually Good Father. he adores his kits and his mate. When Princess brought him to meet Jake, they got along immediately. In a human au, Jake instantly took Oliver on a father & son-in-law fishing trip to bond.
-Oliver’s parents were absent (father) and neglectful (mother), so he refuses extra hard to end up like either of them. Jake is the closest thing to a father figure he’s ever had, even if he’s just his father-in-law
-Ruby and Socks grow out of their meanness, and regret their actions towards Tiny, but as in canon Tiny (then Scourge) gets their apologies and pleas rejected.
-one of Princess’ kits gets an ex-riverclan mate when they grow up, i haven’t decided which, either Taylor or Zack
-Taylor is genderfluid
-in an au where Tallstar becomes a kittypet instead of leaving the forest territories, he has 2 litters with Quince and Nutmeg. With Quince; Myra, Ebony, and Blink, and with Nutmeg; Spot and Leopard.
-in an au of the au, if tallstar’s kits join the clans, their clan names would be Badgersnow (Blink), Greybelly (Ebony), Nightbreeze (Myra), Spottedspring (Spot), and Leopardscar (Leopard).
[image description: a drawing of tallstar and jake from the warriors series. tallstar is a black and white spotted cat with amber eyes, and jake is a fluffy ginger tabby cat. the two are walking close together, jake’s tail resting on tallstar’s back. jake’s eyes are closed, and he appears to be happily talking about something, while tallstar looks down at him with a loving expression. the two stand against a mostly yellow background, with the rainbow pride flag behind them. /end id.]
It’s not quite pride month yet but I didn’t feel like waiting to post these! just a (non-exhaustive, I might make more later) bunch of icons of a few of my personal LGBT WC headcanons using my warriors designs. Free to use anywhere with credit!
In the past, WindClan actively practiced Gray Wing’s idea of kindness and friendship. They fought only when necessary, and would offer aid to other Clans when possible.
Tallstar was especially fond of the tradition, but it was mostly forgotten during Onestar’s reign, since he believed the ideology sounded too much like Firestar’s way of doing things.
Unsurprisingly, this aided in WindClan’s turn in reputation, as they are now known for being harsh and antagonizing ThunderClan.
Crowfeather and Nightcloud are the only cats who can remember the old tradition, and they’ve been trying to reintroduce it since the change in leadership. Fortunately, Harestar is very open to the idea.
Whewww that’s a lot of cats! I tried to stay away from repeats but what can I say, I love Sandstorm and her kids!!
Also was challenged to try and pick some less popular relationships and since I have so many favorites, I think they still qualify even if they’re not at the very top of my list. Right????? Because listen, it would just be full of FireFamily…
