am i the only who thinks Feathersight doesn't seem happy about getting with Opsrey???? he seems so upset/reluctant about it, and Osprey seemed either just upset or forceful/manipulative about it, but perhaps i'm just reading the scene incorrectly??

someone in this discord already asked about this, but im happy to say it again

Feathersight isn't unhappy to be together with Ospreysight! the situation basically boils down to his mental health being absolute Shit due to the whole Ravenstar prophecy thing (he blames himself for two deaths because he thinks he wasn't able to interpret a prophecy correctly or in time, and hes worried he's being paranoid and imagining the whole thing), and his personal relationships suffering because of it. he and Ospreyswipe have always been very close friends, and since they were apprentices there has been a very obvious will-they-wont-they thing going on, but because of Feather's shitty mental health, he pushed Ospreyswipe away and was probably a dick to him at times, too. it was unhealthy for both of them.

Ospreyswipe didn't force or Feathersight into a relationship, the confrontation basically boiled down to "I am tired of you pushing me away and pretending we don't care about each other, romantically or not. I don't care if our relationship changes or stays the same at this point, but we need to talk about things and communicate, or else I am not going to keep letting myself be strung along." they sat down, talked, and obviously both had romantic feelings for each other, so they decided to be mates.

TLDR: No manipulation here! They just opened a clear line of communication and stopped pushing each other away.

Welcome to the Official Burning Thistles AU Blog!

What is Burning Thistles? Burning Thistles, or it’s extended/original workshop title, Burning Spotted Thistles, is a warrior cats au where Fireheart--and his siblings--are the kits of Spottedpaw/leaf and Thistleclaw. The idea was originally started by @alollinglaughingcat and then expanded and co-written with @firealder2005 to create the fanfiction Burning Thistles on ArchiveOfOurOwn.

Additionally, here is the Wiki for Burning Thistles (currently unfinished)

CONTENT/TRIGGER WARNINGS: PEDOPHILIA, grooming of minors, non-platonic/familial romantic/sexual relationships between minor(s) and adult(s), implied/referenced sexual harassment/assault/non-consensual/rape, lying/cheating, toxic/abusive relationships, family-based manipulation, general manipulation, mental health state deterioration, queerphobia/LGBTQ+phobia, internalized hatred, self-hate (please note that NONE OF THIS is SUPPORTED or intentionally GLORIFIED by us, pedophiliac relationships are WRONG - pro-shippers DNI!)

Information on Us:

@alollinglaughingcat - Call me Lolling! Any pronouns welcome, though she/her is used primarily for me by others.

From a Chinese Reader

Hello Lolling,

  My name is Tong. I am a Chinese reader of "Warriors". I love your "Burning Thistles" so much that I want to let all other Chinese readers read it!

  However, Many Chinese readers don't have the ability to visit foreign websites because of Chinese policies. Also, it is difficult for them to read English articles. Therefore, I would like to ask if you could allow me to repost and translate "Burning Thistles" on Lofter and Tieba, two of the most prominent Chinese websites where Chinese readers post fan fiction.  I will indicate the original author with the article. I'm look forward to receiving your early reply. Thank you!

Tong

-----------response-----------

of course you may @tongkitten !!! please make sure to credit myself AND @firealder2005 , my co-author, as well!!

fuck you *warrior cat-ifies ur gay lego monkies*

i dont know why they were so easy to turn into warrior cats. truly it should not have been this easy. and yet... i already have an entire fucking plotline in my brain, ugh

blame this line: “Have you been running around with OTHER MENTORS?!” (vid linked)

yep! it’s Lego Monkie Kid but as Warrior Cats! i feel like their warrior names are pretty self explanatory lmao (Monkey King + Sun Wukong; shadow monkey + Six-Eared Macaque). but wait, you scream, MKpaw???? thats not a warrior name!!!

simpletons. in this AU, the legendary clans are distant history, long forgotten tales told to kits. so then why do they have warrior names? because Wukong (Monkeysun) and Macaque (Shadowear) were both born into the clans, and remain one of the few survivors of it. MK is a kittypet (or stray cat) who is enraptured by the tales of clancats that his friend-slash-father-figure Tang tells him. said stories involve a certain “long-tailed cat” named Monkeysun, the warrior who “stole the stars” and “lived forever.”

yep! Monkeysun stole the stars. Literally. Because in LMK everything is literal. Well, literal-ish. By stars, I mean the powers of StarClan granting lives. That’s how Monkeysun gained immortality in this AU - instead of stealing peaches, wine, and pills, he broke the Moonpool and granted himself a million lives. of course, this meant leaders could no longer gain their nine lives, and, understandably, many cats were upset, so of course, using what power they had left, the leader of StarClan (the Jade Emperor) buried Monkeypaw (he was an apprentice at the time) underneath the earth, in the tunnels, where he would roam and starve forever until all of his lives were gone.

course, that didnt happen, and Monkeypaw was freed to journey alongside the monk Tripitaki, who would be like a guardian cat or Sisters equivalent I suppose, and he and the other gang would partake in a journey to the west/sundrown place to find Buddha (a Rock or Midnight equivalent figure). why do the take the journey in this AU? honestly idk lmao.

anyway! what about Shadowear?? well, Monkeysun (who earns that name from Tripitaki) kills him when Shadowear attempts to kill Tripitaki, but! Even tho the power of the stars are gone, the Dark Forest still lurks, and the Lady Bone Demon (prob called Bonestar, formerly Bonelily or smthn) uses her powers to give Shadowear a life, resurrecting him, so long as he follows her rules...

similarly, the Mayor is able to possess cats like Ashfur, and wants to grant the power to his Lady but he needs to free her first, which is Shadowear’s purpose (it’ll have something to do with the Moonpool probably)

so flash forward to the present and MK finds Monkeysun’s stick (bcus of COURSE its a stick in this au lmao) and becomes his apprentice, training in the way of the warriors. Mei, ofc, joins him, and Pigsy is against it, while Tang is in awe. And Sandy’s supportive but wary with his own dark history (coughgangcatcoughBloodClancough). also yep Pigsy, Tang, and Sandy are still reincarnations, and Mei has the “dragon” ancestry still (the Samadhi fire stuff i dont have figured out yet, though it might be some magic Moonpool stuff instead maybe - oh also Nezha is the guardian of the Moonpool now, and maybe Chang’e is the guardian of the Moonstone? and DBK lives in the mountains and therefore guards the Tribe’s magic cave thing?)

also here’s some warrior names that wouldnt technically be canon to this au:

Pigsy -> Pigflower (why flower? because he cooks, and flowers are like herbs)

Pigsy’s first life/Zhu Bajie -> Boarbelly (bcus he eats people)

Sandy -> Bluesand (do i need to explain this one? not sure what JTTW Sandy/Sha Wujing’s name would be tho)

Tang -> Goldenshine or Brightshine or similar (once again not sure what his OG/Tripitaki’s name would be - maybe Goldensun to parallel Monkeysun?)

Mei -> Dragonblaze (”but Dragon isn’t-” FINE, Lizardblaze)

Ao Lie/White Horse Dragon -> ...Whitehorse? or Whiteflash

Demon Bull King -> Bullfang

Princess Iron Fan -> Windstorm, Windstream, Windbreeze, Breezestorm, etc.

Red Son -> Redflame

Nezha -> Ringfire, Lotusfire or Lotusheart

Whether a cat is ginger or not; Ginger, Not ginger

Whether a cat has stripes or not; Stripes, No stripes

Whether a cat is solid or not (if a cat is an albino, a colorpoint etc); Solid, Colorpoint, Albino

Fur lenght; Long, Short

Whether a cat has white or not; White, No white

Whether a cat is fully white or not: Full, Not full

Whether a cat has a silver gene (it makes the coat look shinier); Silver, No silver

I know that there are many genes that decide what kind of stripe a cat will have but when I first started this project with all of those stripes, it was too much.

[wc-confessions]

Almost had an anxiety attack while looking at the Filou tag because someone had the horrible idea to make an AU where Firestar and siblings’ parents are Spottedleaf and Thistleclaw. The person to block is alaughinglollingcat and leafpoollovesashfur.

*alollinglaughingcat. i checked and uh they helped write the fic the prev anon spoke abt. that fic actually correlates w their au it seems

they’re also a dsmpandsouthpark fan and unironically support the ‘straight pride’ flag that yk. is often used with malicious intent and has an awful history. obvs don’t harass them just block

#they also. rlly like thistleclaw despite knowing #hes shitty #not a confession #text #anonymous #asks #blocklist #ask to tag

[fallenclan]

to Scorchstar: what do you think of Maplestar? do you think he will make a good leader or do you wish Goldenstar had chosen someone else? what do you think about Maplestar exiling Otterslip? was it the correct thing to do?

#its been so long since ive drawn her.... #fallenasks #alollinglaughingcat #askfallencats #fallenart #art

[mumblesplash]

i think it would help if you wrote the rhyming pattern out, yknow like stereotypical poem style! because i didnt see the rhymes at first at all, and i can see some of them now, but i still feel like i dont completely understand where all the rhymes are/how the lines flow

oh good idea! so yeah if i rearrange the script that way you get this:

[secret life] [(post-session six) the secret keeper’s lair] “for the record, my death at the button wasn’t fair” don’t pretend you didn’t know you failed your real task. no new reds survived. “i did exactly what you asked!” technically. you’ll notice we’ve not forced you to reroll. still, you failed to-* “what, you think i wanted mumbo dead?” worse, we think this game has gotten out of your control. how about next week we let the new girl try instead?

*if grian hadn’t interrupted, the line would’ve been ‘still, you failed to carry out your designated role’

(which does kinda bother me, because i don’t like rhyming homonyms (‘roll’ with ‘role’), but considering it’s a line that was cut off and does not actually appear i managed to convince myself to let it slide)

one of the main reasons i'm so interested in how easily people spotted the rhyming is because i didn't intend for it to be super easy. it's supposed to read like a (somewhat) natural back and forth conversation at first, and then make you go back and read the lines again once you notice.

i honestly wasn't expecting the amount of variation in how easily people seem to pick up on it? and i'm not sure why that's the case, either, it's really interesting

#splashasks #alollinglaughingcat #show of hands who wants me to list the rules i have for this comic just for the sheer comedic value #bc if i write them all out it will probably make me sound insane

bi power couple

Firestar and Sandstorm are both bisexual in Burning Thistles! and in canon probably lol

their relationship in BT is slightly different - not filled with as much initial hatred since Firekit was clanborn, but that doesn’t mean there’s not any tension between them in the early days, considering Auntie Frostfur liked to fill Sandpaw’s ears with whispers of Firepaw’s parentage

they’re very much in that “oh my StarClan you guys are basically already mates just ask each other out!!” phase in BT currently lol

also i think it’s funny that Sandstorm is friends with Creekflower (mostly bcus she’s friends with Fireheart and Cherryfur) even tho she thinks Creek is a traitor/stupid for getting with a kittypet (also think it’s funny if Sand had a brief crush on Creek too lmao)

did anyone ask for Evil Frostfur? No? Well take it bcus I’m obsessed with her.

Yes this is from @firealder2005​ and I’s Burning Thistles AU once more (I’m also obsessed with it). well, technically this event doesn’t exactly happen as seen in the video (it’s more exaggerated here, also the collar is more symbolic than a real object Frostfur got her paws on)

gay gay homosexual gay

gosh ngl Feathercloud from @firealder2005 and I’s fic Burning Thistles is by far my favorite character to not only write but to just... his personality, his story, his hardships, his family, his lovelife... I love it all sm i swear, and he’s not even a main character even vsjfsdkfjs but my love for him makes him one <3

Featherkit is one of Runningwind and Dappletail’s canonical kits- the deaf tom-kit who ‘wandered away’, but in BT he is Runningwind and Redtail’s son with Dappletail being his surrogate mother, born alongside his sister Crickekit :)

the amount of angst and fluff i can shove into this boy is incomprehensible

My #1 post of 2022

 why did i do this to myself

yep its a Burning Thistles Friendship Map as of Chapter 101! ...well, and a few spoilers, technically, but shhhhh. they’re minor anyway lol. i made sure not to do the big spoilery ones ;)

betcha cant identify every character here lol (i feel any avid BT fan could name 31/32 of them, bcus that 32nd one is a curveball whose only been important in like... 1/101 chapters. and prob only mentioned in.... 5/101?)

anyway here’s all the names, have fun putting them to faces: Fireheart, Sandstorm, Cherryfur, Creekflower, Oliver, Airleap, Morningflower, Onewhisker, Copperleaf, Dawncloud, Grasswhisker, Silverstream, Lightningfur, Mousefur, Runningwind, Darkstripe, Longtail, Dustpelt, Ravenpaw, Barley, Runningbrook, Ashheart, Cinderfur, Tallpoppy, Mistyfoot, Graystripe, Gremlin, Brackenfur, Feathercloud, Cricketheart, Scraps.

so there are also a lot more characters in this “friend group” but i tried to only hit the major ones. but just to have the full scope here, I’m gonna list every main-main character’s friend group. this means NOT including kin, so no sibs/parents/niblings

Fireheart’s: Runningwind (BFF), Darkstripe (ex-BFF/brother-figure, still wants to be friends w/), Sandstorm (crush), Cherryfur (friend through his sis Creekflower), Graystripe (apprentice), Cinderpelt (apprentice), Brackenfur (apprentice), Oliver (through Creekflower), Mistyfoot (apprenticehood friends), Stonefur (apphood friends, not as strong as Misty’s), Cinderfur (apphood friends), Onewhisker (apphood friends)

Creekflower’s: Cherryfur (BFF), Sandstorm (frenemies through Cherryfur/Fireheart, who are both friends w/ her), Brindleface (queen friends), Runningwind (through Fireheart), Longtail (mutual hatred; through Cherryfur) Mousefur (through Sandstorm), Oliver (mates), Oliver’s kittypet friends (through Oliver)

Lightningfur’s: Silverstream (BFF), Mousefur (ex-BFF, no longer friends), Rippleclaw (supporter), Sedgecreek (Sedge has a crush on her; she hates Sedge), Beetlenose (supporter), Mallowtail (supporter), Grasswhisker (thinks Grass is annoying but also Grass is her step-mom technically), Vixenleap (supporter/through Grasswhisker), Shadepelt (supporter), Greenflower (supporter), Mistyfoot (through Silverstream) .... (really Lightningfur has no friends at this point since Silverstream’s death)

Airleap’s: Morningflower (platonically raised kits together; his first WC friend), Onewhisker (friend; One probably thinks of Airleap as his closest friend), Ashfoot (friend), Deadfoot (friend), Runningbrook (friend), Whitetail (friend), Ravenpaw (mentorly towards him), Barley (through Ravenpaw), Sandstorm (from the mission/through Fireheart; he doesn’t think they’re friends but Sand feels defensive over him bcus of what happened), Tallpoppy (same reason as Sandstorm), Cinderfur (same reason as Sand and Tall but less so)

Copperleaf’s: Dawncloud (QPR mate/BFF), Cinderfur (BFF), Ashheart (friend), Tallpoppy (friend/Dawn’s BFF), Whitethroat (through Tallpoppy), Wetfoot (through Tallpoppy), Badgerfang (son-in-law/mutual respect), Flintfang (mutual respect), Fernshade (mutual respect)

Darkstripe’s: Fireheart (ex-BFF/brother-figure, still wants to be friends w/), Runningwind (ex-friends/kinda still friends but distant), Cherryfur (mutual hatred), Longtail (apprentice), Dustpelt (apprentice), Tigerclaw (idol), Onewhisker (apphood friends that grew apart)

Feathercloud’s: Graystripe (kithood friends that grew apart), Ravenpaw (ex-mate/crush), Brackenfur (BFF/crush), Gremlin (from mission), Scraps (from mission), Barley (through Ravenpaw), other WC cats (through Ravenpaw)

Spottedleaf’s: Yellowfang (most trusted), Mudfur (sympathetic to her), Bluestar (admirance; now weakening), Brindleface (rekindling friendship), Frostfur (formerly; crush), Tigerclaw (only slightly; formerly), Whitestorm (kinda awkward friends now)

Frostfur’s: Willowpelt (formerly), Spottedleaf (formerly), Redtail (formerly), Whitestorm (formerly/strained politeness on Whitestorm’s end), Tigerclaw (reluctantly/formerly), Speckletail (BFF; starting to strain)

also everyone hates Grasswhisker and its... kinda sad. like, hello, she’s a victim... yeah she’s been really mean, but truly it’s been out of fear and desperation for Thistlestar to love her and only her just like she loveslovesloves him (why can’t he just love her? why isnt she good enough? her mind cries). like Airleap was the only one who was like “Hey wait a minute-” (and now everyone hates her bcus she was mean to Airleap... by blaming him for murder)

So, hypothetically, if someone were interested in making pride icons of the characters in this AU (at least of the canon counterparts of the characters), what are some you'd want to see in particular?

I may or may not have a pride icon blog and I want to make icons based on this AU

Alder:

I say go nuts. Lolling and I could make a whole post with BT character's BT canon sexualities/gender identities if you'd like. We actually have a whole spreadsheet dedicated to that lol.

(speaking of that we have some...updates to make to it for the upcoming chapter ;D)

@alollinglaughingcat what say you?  👀

hey, not to bother you much, but i was wondering if you could rec any songs you think fit Duke? im looking for something short- but the song itself can be long, so if you think a less-than-a-minute part of a long song fits him well, that works too! just trying to get some ideas to possibly animate (more pmv-style tho) him (but,,, dog-ified, cant draw humans) to for Duke Week ^w^

not a bother at all! unfortunately i've been revisiting a 90s/aughts alt phase so my head is only full of THAT sound fjkdsal; plus whenever I listen to music & associate it to characters, 9times outta 10 its usually more in the shipping sense than in a 'this song fits this character' sense? i listen to a lot of music abt relationships tho so fjdsla;f

if anyone else has any recs tho, send em over to lolling!
