#WILL WOULD BE A MEDICINE CAT

[milf-harrington]

no because now i cant stop thinking about stranger things but in the warriors universe

#i was a warrior cat kid and it shows in the way ive spent the past 10 minutes pacing and muttering to myself about shadowclans reputation #i was trying to figure out where el would fit - whether it would make more sense for her to have originally been blood clan #or to set the au in an earlier time period - specifically around the time shadowclan was using child soliders #slightly off topic but i just KNOW joyce's warrior cat name would be mouse-something #it just suits her #something unassuming and small that makes everyone doubt her and then shes like 'BAM' #mouseclaw? mousefern? mousewhisker? hmm #hopper has a -heart suffix i just know it #the party would start out either as fresh apprentices or older kits #steve would absolutely be a freshly named warrior which is why hes Like That at first #i also think hed be originally riverclan before thunderclan does its whole Adopts Random Cats From Other Clans thing #oh the og party is CLEARLY thunderclan bc yknow. bravery and heart and all that #i can see jonathan being a med cat even if that throws a spanner in the works for jancy #or i could give them the classic thunderclan forbidden romance ft. the medicine cat #OH WAIT WILL #WILL WOULD BE A MEDICINE CAT #hes got the right vibe #either will or dustin

Can I request Shadowsight for the designs? Or maybe Frecklewish if you'd rather?

I'm curious what either would look like in your style! (Which I adore btw it's SO good)

i know Shadowsight is described as small in the books, but I prefer to interpret him with the Tigerstar(tm) tallness with Dovewing's build, and that he tends to shrink down/lower his voice while talking to appear as meek/non-threatening as possible because his peers get nervous around him

#anonymous #my art #cheez design #shadowpaw #shadowsight #ashfur #shadowclan #starclan #the dark forest #// thanks for the kind words anon! #// i just want more big/imposing medicine cats tbh sdklglkds #// saw a post talking about how much more crushing Shadowsight's alienation would be if- #rather than being small/endearing- he was big and framed like a ''freak'' for his quiet/awkward manner #// that post never left my mind op if you're reading this you cooked so good #// this guy makes me so sad. just the thought of his scale/bulk being irrelevant #while he's shrinking away from a smaller Ashfur who is more psychologically domineering

i have an idea for a character design but what animals are usually associated with medicine??? the most common answer i got was snake, but i also thought of lab rats/mice, rabbits etc

#snake has the longest history with medicine especially since its shown on the rod of asclepius and the myths around venom #i also didnt know this but their shedding skin is referenced as symbols of rebirth and growth while their appearance resembles an #umbilical cord which gives it a really strong connection to health in some cultures.. although if i had to think abt modern medicine and #pharmacies the first thing i think of is white lab mice like pinky and the brain. for some reason i also thought of rabbits #bc of how its used for anti animal testing logos but thats more loose. however i did learn that the jade rabbit is shown to #use a pestle and mortar to create medicine in some stories so that could work...???? but its not as well known i think #i also thought of possums but that was more of an irony thing. same for bats but both are ironically really resistant to disease and act #as carriers. a death symbol like vultures or ravens/crows might work with a plague doctors mask but i feel #like that isnt the vibe im going for. black cat would be interesting considering superstition but im also on the fence abt that #actually what else is associated with medicine?? normally its stuff like pills crosses bandaids syringes etc #doctors coats and gloves.. especially plague doctor masks or medical masks in general but not much else huh #hand sanitizer and tissues.. pill bottles... blue nurse uniforms.. gauze and casts with signed names... hmmmm/......... #nurse dresses..??? sure?? i also see scalpels and knives but thats more for like. horror doctors for scary stories #im going for cute maybe even regular ass doctor vibe. like harvey sdv. or tony tony chopper #yapping

lightleap…..i miss lightleap……

#the erins just forgot abt her whole deal #in a good books series maybe nightheart abandoning sunbeam would spark a realization in her that she herself abandoned lightleap #when lightleap most needed support #or lightleap couldve been the one to leave with frostpaw and they bond over their guilt and grief or something #hence causing conflict with tigerstar’s daughter going missing and complicating tensions with riverclan #he’s justifiably angry and blaming riverclan while riverclan also deals with the sudden disappearance of their medicine cat apprentice #and the whole situation gets dire putting pressure on frostpaw and her mission and maybe splashtail takes up leadership sooner and blames #frostpaws disappearance on tigerstar #and maybe we get some context on lightleap and her emotional state and her whole red herring fight(?) she got into in the first book that #was never addressed #idk just spitballing #meowing.wav #asc spoilers

new di x warrior cats

name explanations and more info below :3

basic stuff

-each agency is a clan, not each unit. 14-15 clans would be silly and then we would have some clans with 5 cats and some with 2.

-starpro -> lightclan. i couldn’t call them “starclan” for obvious reasons. light is somewhat synonymous with star, so i’m going with that.

-cospro -> nightclan. i don’t think the cats in warriors know the word “cosmic”, but cosmic implies cosmos implies night sky, so we’re going with night

-rhyth lin -> rippleclan. ripple is sort of a synonym to rhythm….? this one was hard

-new di -> fortuneclan. this one is a stretch but neither “new” or “dimension” have synonyms that really fit a clan name. fortune is something that relates to multiple characters in new di though

-starclan still sort of exists, but the cats do not believe in them the way they do in warriors. they are more of a nursery tale than anything, and select cats (ex: tatsumi) believe in them, but it is not written into their code. medicine cats can still interpret signs, but they do not necessarily think of them as coming from starclan.

-medicine cat forbidden romance is not a thing here

-intermingling of clans is ok and common

-there’s like. other cats in their clans besides just the enstars cast i assume

cat names/why i chose them

fortuneclan:

knights

-tsukasa -> scarletstar (scarletblossom) . he is the leader of fortuneclan because he is one of the new di reps for the summits. both scarlet and blossom were chosen bc of his last name (scarlet is a red color… kinda similar to cherry…. and blossom for the cherry blossom).

-leo -> lionheart. ok this one is kind of cheating because lionheart is already an existing warrior, but…come on….

-izumi -> silverspring. sora describes his color as silver, and spring is in his first name

-ritsu -> frostmoon. his first name means cold moon according to the wiki so i just rehashed it

-naru -> goldenroar. since she doesn’t like her first name i didn’t want to use “storm”, and her last name can be read as “thunder” but that’s a little too close to storm? so golden for her hair and roar for her last name

switch

-natsume -> sageeye. a sage is similar to a wizard, and eye is in his first name . also the “dovesong” mentioned is wataru :)

-tsumugi -> bluewing. he is a bluebird. warrior cats probably wouldn’t straight up call a cat “bluebird” so i put wing there instead. deputy cause he’s the vp

-sora -> skyspring . sora means sky. spring is in his last name. i could have used “stream” instead to differentiate him from sena but i think spring is cuter

mam/df

-madara -> tawnystripe . tawny bc it’s like kind of close to calico if you squint. stripe(s) is in his last name

#my art #enstars #ok so maybe we WOULD have 5 clans bc guess what was announced today #a new agency. and a new unit (or fucking 5? idk) #BUTWHATEVER #um i don’t know why i did this it was a joke at first but #then i started getting really into choosing names…. #like originally it was just gonna be switch but then i was like hmmm… what if the agency is the clan #i’ve been reading so so much warrior cats i’m about to finish avos and then i’ll be caught back up to where i was #when i started this rereading journey last year #so like i have to apply it to my other interests #i’m proud of the names i chose i think they’re fun #yes leo’s is a cheat but idc #i hope someone else will appreciate this it’s mostly just me doing stuff for fun #i want to do the other units/agencies too but that might be a while cause yall this took #like a week . granted i’m busy rn but god damn picking designs for cats is hard!! #that’s why so many ended up being tabbies i just can’t resist they’re my favorites i’m definitely not biased #but also realistically tabby is a pretty common pattern so it’s fine #my fave design is naru’s btw i wanted to make her really pretty and i think i did ok #ok i’m going to bed bye #also forgot to mention i wanted to keep the names as close to canon warriors as i could so i had to find words similar to things that #the cats in warriors would know #sage is pushing it i don’t think they use sage in medicine . they def don’t know what a fortune is either but i don’t care

Snowbird Ann here: x_x I have Fennel growing in my front yard. That stuff...it tastes like black licorice and it's stringy like celery. But when it goes dormant, it leaves stalks that would be great building materials. Med cat/builders could get a fresh stalk, soak it in water to make it bendy and shape it into whatever. If I remember I'll go out and snap a picture of the dormant Fennel tomorrow.

Fennel is actually suuuuuuuuper useful for dozens of reasons. It's related to parsley and has been naturalized all over the world because humans find it so useful.

The cats could use it for:

-Funerals This herb can be STINKY. This could absolutely be one of the funeral herbs that elders rub onto the deceased, especially since it's non-toxic.

-Cooking It's full of fiber meaning it can be a good supplement even for cats, if not consumed in excess. It's also got potassium, manganese, calcium... They can't taste sweet but that licorice-y flavor would come across just fine. It's actually used in sausages a lot.

-Alcohol If your Warriors drink responsibly. And know how to distill. Mead made from honey would still be easier but fennel was used for health tonics in the middle ages... and then eventually got used to make absinthe.

-Insect repellent This one's actually huge because the OTHER big bad bug buster is mint... and all mint is toxic to cats. This is a really good non-toxic insect repellent for warriors next to lavender.

-"Toothpaste" Not like, a PASTE but, a sort of... sticky mouthwash poultice. Fennel's actually super good for oral health, eliminates bad breath, and fights plaque buildup; and remember, Our Friends Mint & Co is toxic to cats. You can make it into an oil and help a warrior with a gum problem. It's especially good at fighting streptococcus, which is one of the most common infectious bacteria in wild cats.

-General medicinal purposes Helping clean eye infections is just one medicinal use, fennel is useful for all sorts of ailments. It's anti-inflammatory, it's antibacterial (but not as good as honey), can help with digestion...

Historically it's also been associated with helping to treat colic in babies and estrogen-related issues like menopause and milk production, which is actually NOT proven with modern studies... but I think the idea is just cool enough to hand wave the science away, I would use it just to have an herb for colicky kits. It's weird that colic has never shown up in canonical kits before!

But...

Building use?

Probably not. You've noticed it's stringy-- that's actually where fennel gets its name. Fennel = Foenum = Latin for Hay. It's more like hay in consistency than twine and would be too soft to build with.

For strong material, you're just gonna want plain old wood. Twigs, branches, anywhere you can find fennel you're also going to find bushes or trees that'll make better beams.

For twine? Skip the fennel entirely with its short stalks and just get some tall grass. Or, if you've got long-haired cats, they can make yarn out of shed fur if they collect enough of it. Better yet, if you've got access to flax? Then you're REALLY cooking with fire, that bad boy can be made into fabric, rope, clothing... Don't even get me STARTED on industrial hemp, you could weave reality itself out of that popstar. Paper, clothes, canvas, shampoo, lamp oil, rope, bombs, you want it? It's YOURS my friend--

Anyway

TL;DR stick to the herbal uses for fennel. You're better letting dormant fennel re-grow because it's better in the paws of your medcats than your warriors.

[fallenclan]

okay, so nothing has happened to him yet, but I've been thinking about it, so

#fallenpolls #bro is getting up there hes like 100 moons old now i think? #so i need to figure smth out #i have something in mind for the fallenclam cat killing him #for starclan cat idk! im up to suggestions. scorchstar would be cool but i cant see her killing her own son #then again. she did kill her medicine cat. so idk #i misspelled Dies. unbelievable.

[silawastaken]

bsd warrior cats inspired au but they are a bunch of alley cats who heard of the legends of clans and thought it’d be cool to put their own twist in it so the port mafia and ADA just grew from there(they do not believe in Starclan but they do have roles and stuff)

now... is this a request...? Should I be reading up on my warrior cats lore?

Listen. If people will read this, I will write it. It will take a WHILE but I will. It might not be long, but I will.

You see, I'm thinking like a riverclan and thunderclan situation, where they fight a lot, but they eventually get over themselves and the cats become friends and meet at the sunningrocks... Now I'm thinking about it and it's really growing on me.

So... do you want me to write this?

#It would take a while #but I'd do it #i have tnspp to finish #and i have another skk au im working on #and that's going to be pretty long i think #but this would be cool to just work on when i have time #atsushi would be like firepaw #i say firepaw instead of fireheart or firestar cause character development #but the idea is there #KYOUKA WOULD BE CINDERPAW #aww omg #and then kyouka would become a medicine cat with yosano #:') #genuinely thinking about this #bsd #ao3 fanfic #soukoku fanfiction #bsd fanfic #bungou stray dogs #silas yaps

All right I need some good wishes.

Cat's back at the ER because while he stopped throwing up, he was still lethargic and disinterested in everything and just not acting like himself. X-rays confirmed he's got some kind of intestinal obstruction but didn't show what the obstruction was.

We think he ate thread, but there's not much that can be done until it's confirmed via either seeing it on imaging or seeing certain very specific signs associated with that particular kind of obstruction, which is hell on earth because long body obstructions are some of the most dangerous ones an animal can get BUT trying to remove something that may not even be there, well, that shit is dangerous on an already stressed body, so it's not a gamble anyone wants to take for very good reason, so it's all just a waiting game until whatever it is shows up more clearly, passes on its own, or gets worse.

So, please send him your best wishes...and, for that matter, this is all stupidly expensive so any purchases from my RedBubble shop are EXTREMELY appreciated right now.

#personal #animal illness #someone really needs to do an expose on the rising cost of emergency veterinary care #because while weve got family helping the best we can #for one it's a huge strain even so and for two the numbers just keep getting higher and higher with each animal emergency #it's actually obscene #for-profit medicine - be it for humans OR animals - needs to die and it needs to die like yesterday #hes under observation and getting images repeated...which is costing an arm and a leg #and i half wish i meant that literally i WOULD sell my actual fucking limbs before putting a dollar value on my cat's life

My fatal flaw is thinking I could bust out a 1,200 word scientific research essay THE DAY IT'S DUE because I've definitely written that much gay fanfiction in the span of like, 3 hours

#//personal #pray for me #i'd rather be writing shaytham than this traditional medicine stuff #like don't get me wrong ayurveda and unani is cool and interesting and the historical significance of humorism and personalized care ykyk #but my prof kinda cornered me into arguing for integrating this stuff into modern medicine and man #im an art student my heart's really not in any of this. there's a reason im not studying the humanities #im sure somebody in a different field would and should care. but i'm not the one who should be the spokesperson yk #make me the spokesperson of AI legislation like i wrote that essay last semester and it got me RILED #ahhhhhhh......well #i should've picked research into cat behavior or smt. no one has any answers about my cat. why do he bite my earrings and toes I FEED HIM

Leafpool and Crowfeather run away, tired of the expectations thrust upon them. They run so fast and hard that Midnight has no hope of catching up, her kin tearing apart the Thunderclan camp.

Cinderpelt and Sootfur give their lives protecting the clan, and by the time aid from Blackstar arrives the newly built camp is but a shadow of its former self. Cats from every position bare cuts and bruises from Goldenflower to Whitepaw. A vigil for three begins but Leafpool leaves no body to bury.

The remnants of the healers den is eerily quiet, filled only with trampled herbs and a heavy atmosphere. Brightheart moves in, followed shortly by Sandstorm and the two she-cats attempt to care for the clan just as their loved ones had done. The work is exhausting, isolated from their families as they recall over and over the little rhymes and facts their loved ones had committed to memory. Rainwhisker dies to an infected scratch that was found far too late.

Birchkit spent moons of the journey begging his mother to let him stay with his friends, asking Tallpoppy why she couldn't live with them instead and only received amused chiding in response. Yet when he crossed the Shadowclan border, gently greeted by the familiar queen he could only focus on the strange tabby tom that accompanied her. His wishes had been granted, now reunited but it had never felt more wrong.
