in terms of canon ships, they're heavily overhyped but still decent. i really don't care for how in the prophecies begin brightheart has to find her worth in a "man" and how it's cloudtail who has to bring her back to health and make her want to relearn to be a warrior. it'd be nice if brightheart had done it herself WITH his help. 7/10

I'm not feeling too good 'cause (I think) I got sick. TvT So I felt like doodling up something purely wholesome just to make me feel a little better.

I love this crackship.

:) I think they are really cute and would pick flowers together

(ID- Brightheart and Cloudtail and are standing a open area with little pink and yellow flowers across he ground and in in their fur, mostly on Bright’s tail, Clouds head, and Clouds rump. Brightheart is in the foreground and is looking at Cloud who is laying his head on her back, her tail up but the end limp and hanging down. Her ginger back legs are set apart while her front mostly white legs are together, giving her a reserved but happy pose. Her eyes and reflection show this as she has a small smile and in her pupil a yellow heart with a over all adoring expression on her face. Cloudtail is behind her with his head rested on her back and tail sweeping around her, one paw held up slightly as he puts more of his weight on her. He has a smile similar to hers but bigger and a wink as he looks at her wirh a flushed face. Cloud’s expression is affectionate and he’s leaning on her in a way of trust. The cats are washed in a mix of pale blue, yellow, and pink with the same colors on the grass giving it a soft sweet feel to it. End ID)

feelings on brightheart x cloudtail? they're canon but i think they're just really cute :)

probably one of the canon pairings i like best, it's nostalgic and sweet, though honestly i'm not sure how high the bar actually is in that regard lmfao. i think it still has some issues- brightheart's arc is a little more dependent on cloudtail's support rather than her own feelings and development than i'd like (though i can put a lot of that just down to limited screentime i think), and the daisy thing in tnp was weirdly handled but eh, the books have plot points that fumble way worse. they have nice chemistry as far as warrior cats goes!!

#there's a lot in the books of brightheart just getting the short end of the stick over and over #her GN gave her more spotlight but focused too much on 'the good of the clan' to really fix any of the issues i have w that #the series trying to overlap disabled characters with 'nationalism and productivity is important above all else' is always gonna be shitty #but that's more an issue w the books in general rather than what cloudbright have going on. cloudbright is cute #cat ship meme #ask meme

no thoughts it’s just whatever to me

Okayyyy.... this is very very very very very subject to change, i made this at 3 am, i may change my mind on a lot of this cause i'm a little "hm" right now. But here's a Firestar family tree

#stuff im like hmmm about: dovewing and ivypool being biologically from different litters #ivypool and blossomfalls kits being bristle flip plum and shell #(i dont know who stemleaf or eaglefur are going to as of now) #and axing the rest of the cloudbright kits cause like. idrc about them ngl ldfksdf #but i coulddd find a use for them... #for extra info btw: lionblaze is a single dad. he adopted his 3 kits from the kin cause they were orphaned (idk who to put him with) #ivy and blossom used a surrogate for their kits #willowshine is trans and sired dovewing and she was probably pressured into not being involved with her #jayfeather is a warrior here! hes not breaking any laws. but also the medics loyalty law is getting abolished so it doesnt matter either wa #he was a medic during oots because leafpool was forced to step down and holly died. he'd received training himself #so this litter is only born after oots. all the kits are named after their siblings.... #larksong miiight be a hazelice kit #also this is from someone whos only read up to 3 books of avos- once i read tbc and asc this could change a lot #especially twig and violet over there

[esoteric-terror]

this just in i love a thief in thunderclan

#i feel well fed as a cloudbright lover lol #i thought it was super cute and enjoyed brighthearts little moments with people like longtail and rainpaw #its not necessary to read it but none of the newer graphic novels are anyways #i do recommend it

[yourlocalcryptidworm]

I'm sorry but I hate all warriors romances with a burning passion

#Can maybe make an exception for CloudBright but even that ship got tainted in arc 2 #Also why is every female character forced into a romance that ends up being her main plot point #Only exception to this is Hollyleaf and that's probably just because she died #I don't consider author statements about warriors to be canon since there are so many contradictions and retcons so she's single in my mind #Also part of why RavenBarley isn't listed as an exception (other reason is the uncertainty of their ages)

[ninewhiskers]

don't get me wrong i love the attention my art gets but i cannot for the life of me crack the formula behind why my doodles are so popular

#that cloudbright pic is so shit to me . i throw out my botched dinners and the raccoons r goin crazy

While we’re talking changing who appears in places- can we change the cats helping out with Sunbeam’s rock trial? I was so confused why the cats selected to help were selected. Sure Cherryfall because she was going to be the one opposing Sunbeam, why not, anyone can do that though honestly and not who I take issue with being there. But Alderheart was there? The medicine cat? Don’t you think he has better things to be doing than pushing a rock around? Where’s Lionblaze aka “I may as well still have my god given super strength”? He could easily be the cat that gets pissy for Sunbeam “not listening to senior warriors” and maybe with age feels that she doesn’t respect him, head of patrols, enough to warrant her staying this sabotaging her in the third trial. I felt robbed that Plumstone who seemed to be established as another bg strong cat was absent. Sure sending Sunbeam with all the strongest cats would make it easy but it’d also be making it safe considering Ivypool didn’t want the rock to hurt anyone and it’s a pecking rock. Why not send your strongest cats to deal with it?

I feel very strongly about this trial, can you tell?

I'm a bit dissatisfied with certain trials in general. Most of the time I LOVE the new trials they made, I think they've been super creative so far, but some have been so lackluster that I need to shine them up.

Namely Berryheart's active attempts to get challengers killed. Someone has to get ACTUALLY hurt by one of those, instead of them just being generally unfair and no one raises an objection about it. I did not like the spring-powered adder that went BOING out of a log.

I will say that I would like to expand on Plumstone in this arc, plus her whole little family. They're in an interesting place, with Bumblestripe coming back from Ferncloud's Parting while leaving his father with the Tribe, Blossomfall still reeling with emotional abuse she suffered at the paws of the impostor, Stemleaf's death and Spotfur raising his kits, and Shellfur's mateship with Fernstripe.

Plumstone ALSO has some stuff going on. She's besties-maybe-dating Thriftear, Bristlefrost's sister, and yet she's one of the more outspoken cats about how she's getting tired of the ThunderClan nepotism. She's strong, reliable, and a competent warrior-- so HOW is it fair that Nightheart keeps getting all these undeserved "chances to prove himself" when SHE is here, SIGNIFICANTLY more orange, and wants her own chance to shine??

I still see her personality as being "a dear" lmao, she's not mean, but she's also not willing to bite her tongue either. She will say what's on her mind, and point out unfair treatment when she feels it.

Thriftear supports this. Yeah, she's a descendant of Firestar and a great warrior, but she EARNED the respect she gets. Bristlefrost did too. Nightheart doesn't even want his legacy, why is this clumsy humbug still getting special treatment?

Good-cat bad-cat pair type thing going on.

So I'm probably going to let them both act as a unit, since BB's Dewnose isn't in ThunderClan and that was a really random pair-up anyway.

("wait! Elder Bones! Where did Dewnose go?" Probably ShadowClan, here is the BB!ThunderClan family tree. There's been shuffles; the Cloudbright kits are now Whitewing, Foxleap, and Icecloud, 3 "singlet" litters, spaced out over years.)

Quickie thoughts on touching up the trials;

(DISCLAIMER: NOT SOLID. WE DON'T REWORK UNTIL ARCS ARE COMPLETE.)

Berryheart's are going to need serious overhauls. Nightheart's were really cute and I enjoyed them, but BB is supposed to be about how her group is escalating towards violence. I do not want them to stay so "cute" for the story I'm telling.

I also don't want to keep Nightheart failing his last one on purpose. I want his growth to be more based in self-realization than trying to let Sunbeam "save face."

I kinda want Fringewhisker to get injured during one of her own, and then Antfur dies as collateral damage in Nightheart's last. I'd like Nightheart leaving to be half him realizing that his BEHAVIOR is a problem, and half for his own safety.

In ThunderClan, I'd like the boulder one to be more about Sunbeam assembling a team, almost like she's a patrol head.

Since it's her second trial and she displayed some pretty fantastic leadership skills with her first one, I've got an inkling of an idea that Squilf actually talked with Ivy about wanting to legitimately assess her talent.

Like, "We both know that this whole trial-system was just to appease the other Clans. These are meant to be easy because idgaf. But wow, Sunbeam was actually impressive with those kits. What else can she do, if we give her the chance?"

I really like writing Squilf as she's described in Bramblestar's Storm, where her good leadership comes from being attentive of details and making everyone feel useful.

Man... maybe ill save Rosepetal for this arc and let her be deputy during this. Something feels very Rosepetaly about this. Maybe even have Rosepetal be clearly treating her as if she's a Secondary Apprentice, preparing her to take over her reputation of being a prolific mentor... Nightheart comes back from his trip only to find Sunbeam with twice as much respect as status as he ever had.

I can always axe Rose later to get Ivypool in... But I also REALLY love all the Ivypool Deputy Drama with how there's a conflict with ShadowClan... man. why are there so many interesting girls.

Maybe Rose doesn't have to be deputy, but Ivy assigns Rosepetal as the only "mandatory member" of the Boulder Patrol. Like a tutorial tip lmaooo

Sunbeam: "I think I will pick......................" STARES AT ROSEPETAL, "aaalderrr-" Rosepetal frowns "--pluuuuumstone??" Rosepetal nods, "Wise choice."

And lastly. The final Sunbeam trial. Ngl hated it. It felt really boring compared to the previous two, which were super interesting and excellent ways to give some spotlight to background characters.

Riddles don't even feel like a ThunderClan thing. Idk that was a very RiverClan (philosophy) or ShadowClan (trickery) kind of thing.

I think I'll hold off on thinking about it though; I think it would be SUPER cool if I totally overhauled that last trial to make it foreshadow the later books, somehow.

I DO want to keep that disney channel ass Cherryfall being a bitch part though. I love her so much. I'm so glad she's walking in her father's pawsteps and becoming the snot-nosed brat of ThunderClan.

I will definitely be changing how Sunbeam HANDLES it though. Hate the way that the books emphasize never telling anyone anything.

In fact, I kinda want to make Sunbeam approach Sparkpelt for advice, to show she finally has a figure she feels like she can trust.

Explicitly contrast the way that she NEVER felt like she could approach Berryheart, and that so much of her appeasing, avoidant behavior had been because she didn't feel safe or respected.

Here, in ThunderClan, she has family. She begins to realize that even if Nightheart came back and dumped her, Sparkpelt and Finchlight would NEVER kick her to the curb.

So she goes to Sparkpelt about how she is being bullied by Cherryfall, and they TALK ABOUT OPTIONS.

Like, you know,

Spark: "We could go to Squirrelstar or the deputy."

Sun: "I don't want to cause a fuss if I don't have to... besides, idk, I don't want to set the peat on fire, it would be nice if I could be on good terms with Cherryfall later."

Spark: "that's very wise of you, but just remember that Squilst is a very fair person. We can always go to her. Do you want any backup at all or do you want to do this on your own?"

Sun: "I think... I think I actually do need to do this on my own. If I was being confronted, I think I would just double down if I was being attacked in a group. That was right with Brambleclaw because you weren't trying to convince him, but... what do you think?"

Spark: "I think Cherryfall's just like her father and her ego is everything to her, so I think you're right on the mouse with all this. Honestly, I don't even know how much I'm helping here!"

Sun: "Oh but you are helping! You're helping a lot! StarClan... it feels so nice to just... have someone to listen. Thanks, Sparkpelt."

Basically, tweak the trials to bring them more in line with the themes and messages of BB, y'know? And also beef up the Clans themselves, by stressing the various personalities that are at play here. Especially since I quite like how Sunbeam in ThunderClan has some super neat traits she wasn't expressing in ShadowClan.

Like... it feels like it could be a really cool story to tell about how supportive environments can make you really shine. How you can suddenly seem like a brand new person, just by having people who have your back and encourage your autonomy.

old squilf or brightheart?

Came up with this Brightheart design in 2020 and I’ve used nothing else since. If I redraw her now the design might change to resemble her parents

+one drawing from 2021 of grandpa and grandma CloudBright telling stories to Dovekit and Ivykit!
