Ravenpaw had always felt like an outsider in ThunderClan. Despite his loyalty and bravery, he never quite felt like he fit in with the other warriors. But one night in the Warriors Den, when he overheard Tigerclaw confessing to Whitestorm to killing Redtail during the battle of Sunning Rocks against Oakhearts patrol, everything changed.
With this knowledge, Ravenpaw realized he had a powerful tool that could help him gain control over the Clan. He began to subtly blackmail Tigerclaw, using the secret of Redtail's murder to manipulate the ambitious tabby into doing his bidding.
At first, Tigerclaw resisted, even threatened him, but Ravenpaw was persistent. He knew that the knowledge of Redtail's death would ruin Tigerclaw's reputation with his Clan mates as well as risk losing Bluestar's naive trust quickly and his chances of becoming Clan leader. And so, Tigerclaw begrudgingly followed Ravenpaw's orders, allowing the young apprentice to gain more and more power within ThunderClan, even with the help of Brokentail from Shadowclan.
Soon, Ravenpaw had become one of the most influential cats in the Clan, and at Gatherings, his usual act of nervous warrior fooled Tallstar and Crookedstar easily. Ravenpaw still is using his knowledge of Redtail's death to control Tigerclaw and manipulate the other warriors. He was respected and feared by both his allies and his enemies, and his influence continued to grow with each passing day.
Such influence and reputation has not gone unheard, for within the territory of Twolegplace, Scourge, leader of Bloodclan, was very interested in this 'Ravenpaw'.
"If these rumors are true...this forest cat is one after my own heart. Find him. Bring him to me. Alive." He meowed, to Bone and Brick. The claw adorned collared toms leap off the rubbish heap after recieving orders.
"We'll meet soon Ravenpaw. We have plenty to discuss..."

Haha it’s been a loooong while hasn’t it
I have another blog btw which isn’t all just for warriors stuff. @vierrel41n
And here’s some art relating to my evil Starclan au!! Here’s Tigerstar in all his orange glory. I redesigned him to look more tiger like
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And Ravenpaw/Ravensong with the other apprentices. This is before all of them become friends as warriors.
Ravenpaw becomes a med cat btw. After witnessing Redtail’s death, he becomes too afraid to train under Tigerclaw anymore and immediately requests to be switched over to med school
As for Firepaw…
Tumblr media
He wasn’t in the clans for long. When he arrived, Tigerclaw felt threatened by him bc of the prophecy “fire alone” (Tigerclaw believes it to be about him bc at the time of the prophecy he was the only fire coloured cat in the clan idk I’ll work out the kinks). So to protect “his” prophecy, Tigerclaw attacked him and made sure he left the clans completely. He ran away all the way to Barley’s barn who was nice enough to let him stay.
Yellowfang comes along again all tired after being exiled and wandering along the side of the thunderpath a while. Firepaw helps her out and gives her some mice to get her strength up. So she stays with Firepaw(who at this point uses his old name Rusty) and Barley.
If u wanna read the basic rundown of this au, you can find it here

How do you feel about "character joins bloodclan" aus? Im curious about ur thoughts since youre really in tune with the themes of the series but personally i just hate them bc its ALWAYS aimed at 'unfortunate' characters and always ALWAYS ignores the fact that bloodclan is a horrible place in-canon and that they're just reflavoring the abuse and trauma the characters qent through to be more emo or goth themed.
Ravenpaw is ALWAYS a prime target for this and its like. Great. You took the character being abused by their mentor figure and is being harmed from the violent culture the clan has generated... and giving them an EMO mentor figure who will inevitably abuse them and harm them as a result of the violent culture the emo clan has generated. Sasha is another one I've noticed- you've put the woman who lost her kit and is struggling to survive with the others while being controlled and abused by someone who sees her as an outsider (aka alone and easy to isolate), and are gonna put her in a faction who specifically separates kin from one another to easily control them and who have canonically tried murdering those who stick with their family. What was gained here.
Like i know bloodclan is revamped in ur au (thank god for it) but in canon bloodclan is HORRIBLE. People ignore that in favor of putting their favs into bloodclan bc bloodclan is cool and killed tigerstar that one time bc of revenge. Ravenpaw becomes Scourge AUS are SO SO SO much worse bc of this too- sure you manage to point out how scourge and raven has roughly similar stories in their youth but you could also do something interesting and make an au where raven and scourge are FOILS and do a firestar/scourge thing, while pointing this comparison out!! Instead you just went "Ravenpaw emo now and is sad about beating up Firestar his friend" and basically kept everything the same.
Sorry im basically venting here but i just dont like how people forget that scourge in canon does NOT look out for the 'little guy', he's a murderer and abuser who wants to keep his subjects afraid and separated so that he alone has power over them. Bloodclan is not the cool strong goth group, its the group where two cats slaughter eachother over a piece of twoleg scraps, only for the survivor to die bc the food was poisonous to cats and no one knew bc theres no cohesive group that can pass that knowledge around. its a fucking horrible place to live. Im not saying that you cant do interesting "character in bloodclan" aus (a Rusty who lives in bloodclan who STILL wants to do good but is shaped by the horrid reality of bloodclan would be fun imo) but its so often used with already traumatized characters as a 'solution' or 'fix-it with some emotional issues involved' that i just foam at the mouth and howl like a rabid animal on principle at this point.
Hmm... I think for me, it doesn't tend to read that way for me when the fandom makes AUs for it. I'm coming at BloodClan from a point of really deep critique and frustration.
BloodClan's not a REAL place, and what that means is, every speck of how horrible it was is a choice the writers made to justify its treatment. It was something they actively decided, because, BloodClan was a tool to suddenly invalidate the previous 5 books of TPB so that the series could comfortably conclude there was no need to upset the status quo.
If you haven't read it before, I recommend this post I made on how Darkest Hour Is A Personal Disappointment, but anyway;
We spend a whole series on how Fireheart challenges a broken society, because he is different. Their xenophobia, how isolationism and glory get people killed, the way that Tigerstar's greatest asset is how respected he is... these are bad things. They're things that Fireheart fights for several books.
But then, in the LAST book, in the 11th inning, they introduce BloodClan. They're just evil. They have no nuance. The narrative bends over backwards to stress that this group of evil foreigners LOVES murder, hates friendship, and doesn't believe in our good god.
Suddenly, the Clan cats have to be EXTRA xenophobic and glorious to kill these filthy, murderous foreign hordes. Clan cat belief in their good god makes them stronger than the bloodthirsty barbarians. Firestar kills Scourge and we can feel happy and triumphant about it, when Tigerstar was killed a few chapters ago and given a tragic sendoff.
So, I encourage you to step back from an emotional response to how Filthy and Murderous this group was portrayed, and look at it as a writing choice.
When Tigerstar, known cat-racist and murderer of mixed-race people, is killed by Scourge in self-defense, he is grieved by Firestar and commended for his "good qualities". (and then they retconned in that it was actually secretly revenge all along, not just self defense, so this killing is extra evil)
When Scourge is killed, Firestar just thinks about how it's cool he's not going to heaven, and how all of the previously ferocious BloodClan warriors look so inferior to the forest Clans.
And so, with all that said,
I'm 100% in favor of how the fandom widely looks at this, says, "fuck that" and just makes them the Cool Goth Group. I'd argue pretty strongly that the least nuanced idea of that is still infinitely better than canon.
There was nothing there. It was literally just Xenophobia-Is-JustifiedClan. They literally hated love and friendship and banned families so that Clan cats would look good in comparison. Banned families. You don't get this level of stupid evil from anything else but an 80s cartoon.
Maybe I just don't see the AUs you tend to see (I curate my Tumblr experience very well and generally hang out in more adult-oriented spaces, I can imagine a place like Amino being mostly kids who tend to be immature. Edgelord Angstpiddle is just a normal part of growing up), but every project I see that gives me a glimpse of BloodClan Ravenpaws and Sashas come with such tweaks already assumed.
Like, these are examples I've seen,
They'll have Raven be involved with the formation of BloodClan
Scourge will actually be a character with some pity and mercy, like how he was in Rise of Scourge when his abusive siblings begged him for food, and he fed them before sending them away.
no ban on love and friendship. Lol. Lmao, even.
More of the social structure will be based around acquiring food for people in a 'harsh' environment, leading to that battle, instead of just Evil Foreign Greed (which canon!scourge only had after being almost killed by tigerstar, because he said "actually, in light of new information that you are a murderer, i need to reconsider our deal.")
BloodClan will be overhauled completely. I've seen this a few ways. Connecting them to SkyClan, or the Oakstar raids on Chelford, or even as a positive entity; a surprise ally. (VERY common with BloodClan Ravenpaw AUs I've seen).
Anyways... (Shrug), I dunno dude, it doesn't bother me that much.

assuming tigerstar is still evil in the Daddy Tigerstar au then that leads to so much potential for firepaw to grow into his own and also a heartbreaking moment of betrayal if things go along the same lines as the first arc of books
Oh the angst in this is REALLY good.
Firepaw ADORES his father, he looks up to him. Like he really does in such a pure manner. Which makes him haughty, and a bit of a jerk at times (especially when he becomes Bluestar's apprentice), but he still has a good heart. And by that account Tigerclaw is honestly there for Firepaw in his kithood, always offering advice on how to improve, how to be a better cat to make a better Thunderclan.
Firepaw grows up being friends with Greypaw and Ravenpaw, but when Ravenpaw tells the two about what happened with Redtail, Firepaw takes offense: How dare you imply that my father, the noblest warrior, in Thunderclan, commit such an act!
He no longer talks to them, joining Sandpaw and Dustpaw in the bullying (+teasing) that happens.
Though things start to click into place for Fireheart when his first apprentice, Cinderpaw, gets into the accident. Was it... was it a coincidence? It has to be.... surely...
Things play out like in the books, Fireheart dashes to save Bluestar, confronts his father, and they fight. It ends with him getting a massive paw swipe to the face, he gets a scar on the bridge of his nose, just like Tigerclaw. (This is the pinnacle moment I was talking about in the post, where Fireheart makes a decision that changes his life: not standing by his father, protecting his leader)
The ordeal shakes him, the cat he loved and admired all his life... well the things everyone around him had been telling him.. all of that was true.
It does not help that after the fight, in her delusion, Bluestar thinks Fireheart is Tigerclaw (They're practically identical, save for the fact that Firestar is a bit more orange than Tigerclaw). She fears him. And with that he is reminded of the fact of how alike they are.

Question: Is Ravenpaw evil in this AU or??? My ass doesn't understand shit AT ALL TODAY 😭😭😭
yeah he is.
In this au due to Darkstripe's influence (in this au he's rewritten to be a good villain) he teaches Ravenpaw to use his 'weakness' to his advantage, i.e Evil!Ravenpaw pretends to be a sad little guy when in reality he's Manipulating everyone.

The thing about evil Ravenpaw aus to me is that the motivation never really makes sense, or there just isn't one mentioned? No hate to ppl who just make evil AUs for fun, I get it, but I just personally can't really see a good reason for him to do this, especially if its stuff like him killing Redtail and framing Tigerclaw while he's like.. 7 moons old at most. He doesn't like having Tigerclaw as a mentor, so he frames him and gets him exiled. Alright. Why would he then target Firepaw? Sorry if I'm overreacting, Ravenpaw has been one of my personal favorites for years and AUs like these just don't make sense to me :(

evil fireheart au where he's mentored by tigerclaw and helps him take down bluestar(maybe even being the one who kills her?) graystripe and ravenpaw(raventail?) would take firehearts place as the heros. graystripe, ravenpaw and dustpaw go to shadowclan instead of firepaw(and therefore get named warriors early, which slowly leads firepaw to become resenting of them, and with tigerclaw manipulating him he stops being friends with them in favour of longtail and darkstripe) raventail never leaves the clan(as him helping with driving out brokenstar is enough to convince some cats of his loyalty, no matter what tigerclaw and fireheart suspect.) Eventually, graystripe and raventail get the support from the other clans & cats in thunderclan to drive out tigerclaw, fireheart and their supporters. the same thing happens with tigerclaw becoming leader of shadowclan(fireheart being his deputy, now willingly renamed fireclaw in respect of tigerstars old name) when bluestar dies, tigerclaw is leader of thunderclan for a bit, but when they get driven out greystripe steps up(with raventail as his deputy). the whole ''killing cats and feeding them to dogs'' thing still happens, but instead of killing brindleface(somewhat ending in ashfur being a better guy, fire scene never happens ectect), fireclaw targets willowpelt(graystripes mom). the 'battle' happens differently, with scourge taking more of a morally grey area. graystar tells him about what fireclaw & tigerstar have done, and he kills tigerstar(like in canon.) fireclaw is distraught by his death, and tries to kill scourge which ends in his own death. graystar agrees to give him a corner of the forest he's allowed to hunt in. there are tensions between thunderclan and bloodclan for a while, but nothing happens. eventually bloodclan moves out of the forest because theres not enough prey for it to be worth it. i haven't read the books in awhile, forgive any blanks.

The Ravenpaw as Scourge aus are awesome but hear me out: Tallstar as Scourge au.
I can see this going two ways:
One, Talltail decides to stay with Jake. He makes an effort to live Jake’s lifestyle, but he really isn’t built to be a kittypet. He loves Jake, but when he can’t handle being in the house or around Twolegs anymore, he spends a lot of time exploring and getting used to Twolegplace. He ends up meeting the strays and alley cats that live there, and he’s appalled by the way they’re forced to live.
Some cats band together, and some cats control territories like Jay and her crew, but it’s mostly every cat for themself. The old and sick don’t have anyone to turn to, and there are constant fights over scraps. Talltail left to get away from Clan life, but he ends up introducing clan ideas. He makes allies, then friends, and starts to (accidentally) build his own clan where cats look out for each other. Cats look up to him, and life for the strays of Twolegplace becomes a lot less short and miserable.
He takes Tiny under his wing when the time comes, and wrecks Tigerstar’s shit when he comes sniffing around. Talltail and Jake live happily to ripe old age.
Two, the much darker option. Talltail does kill Sparrow, but it doesn’t fix anything. He still feels angry and lost, only now he’s alienated the visitors and Jake, and feels he cannot go back to his clan. He spends several seasons just wandering alone, struggling to survive, until eventually he winds up back in Twolegplace near the clans.
He’s a trained fighter, with a skill-set that makes him a fierce enemy, and he quickly gains a reputation. He acts as a vigilante almost, hunting down despicable cats and doling out his own brand of justice to those who "deserve it," because he hates seeing cats like Sparrow get away with things. He's like a vigilante avenger turned scary urban legend. This eventually goes much the way of Scourge’s path, with Talltail gathering a following and killing any cat who gets in his way, except he believes he's doing what is right.
Tigerstar, not knowing they’re led by a former clan cat, recruits the fearsome Bloodclan to help him take over the forest by telling Talltail (going by Scourge?) that the other clans are evil and need exterminating. Talltail seems to agree, but Tigerstar doesn't realize he's playing with fire. When Tigerstar's crimes are revealed, Talltail brutally murders him.
Windclan (and the rest of the forest tbh) is in for a shock when Barkface recognizes Talltail.

sort of a trans Hollyleaf au sort of a evil firestar au sort of a role swapping au
so in this au ravenpaw saw tigerclaw kill redtail but climbed a tree to avoid sight. As tigerclaw was searching the bushes for him, a fox arrived, attracted by the smell of blood, and killed tigerstar.
ravenpaw runs back to camp like normal, but this time he tells them everything right away including tigerclaw’s death.
as tigerclaw’s ghost roams around, he overhears Spottedleaf and bluestar discussing the prophecy and sees an opportunity.
He makes his way into firepaw’s dreams and manipulates him into being evil.
everything continues as normal (minus ravenpaw going to the barn) and soon firepaw is made a warrior. He kills lionheart by sneaking deathberrys into his prey and becomes deputy, then successfully kills bluestar and becomes leader. He also never visits his sister and receives cloudtail.
starclan knows that they can’t kill him, since that would mean the clans wouldn’t exist, so they send yellowfang a prophecy that sandstorm needs to become firestar’s mate and have kits or the clan will be doomed.
after that, mostly everything is the same except reestablishing skyclan. Once they get to the lake, instead of cinderpelt dying and getting reincarnated, ravenpaw (now ravenpelt) dies in her place and gets reincarnated instead.
once the three are born, the three prophecy takes effect, but since cloudtail never joined, Hollyleaf actually does get powers, an immunity to poison and a venomous bite. She kills firestar, who is a tyrannical leader at this point, and since firestar never appointed a deputy, jayfeather, who is a warrior, is appointed as the new leader.
Lionblaze dies from the rockslide that trapped Hollyleaf, who finds her way out of the tunnels almost instantly with fallen leaves’ help (jayfeather never met him in this universe so that led to a different outcome somehow I’m not sure how I haven’t figured that out yet). At Lionblaze’s vigil, jayfeather tells Hollyleaf, “I’m sad to lose one brother, but I can at least take solace in the fact that I have another.” Which makes Cederleaf realize that he doesn’t need to be a girl and he is accepted no matter what.
The dark forest still attacks like normal, but this time, resurrected ravinpaw is the fourth cat. He kills firestar’s ghost and is given the name Ravenheart.
also jayfeather can fly

i genuinely want warrior cats aus where everything goes wrong. im tired of happy endings. look at me in the eyes and listen.
evil fireheart au where he is mentored by tigerclaw and kills bluestar bla bla bla. then graystripe and ravenpaw try to be the heroes, and im saying try because they fail. the army of tigerstar is too strong, especially with fireheart at his side.
eventually, graystripe and ravenpaw flee with barley. but we arent done yet, because things dont go well for fireheart either. since tigerstar used him as a tool to take over the clans, he wanted to get rid of him now. fireheart was no longer of use, and, besides, who knows if fireheart might want to betray him?
so tigerstar, having stonefur, featherkit and stormkit captured, captures fireheart too. this would be that one scene in the books where darkstripe and blackfoot fight stonefur right? well now fireheart is at his side.
but it still goes wrong because tigerstar joins the fight and kills stonefur. then gives fireheart the chance to leave and never return.
-either that or he kills fireheart. your decision if you want more creepy horror stuff.
OH MY GOD YOU'RE SO RIGHT
this is absolutely banger. I like to think he kills fireheart after he's no longer use to him - after sll, the clans are now a mess and there are no consequences waiting for him after he murders fireheart. He doesn't know whether he will betray him or no, so killing him seems like the right choice for him.
This also brought me an idea- Tigerclaw au where he's a medicine cat and creates the fire alone prophecy to benefit from it (in some way- we'll see abt that). After Firepaw joins the clan Bluestar claims him to be the cat from the prophecy, leading him to be falsely prophecised. Tigerclaw uses this as a chance to get closer to him and manipulate him and blah blah

Alright, here's a ref sheet of the five main characters for the secret AU I've been working on. Its a Ninjago AU. I haven't quite decided what I'm going to do for the story yet, as I'm still figuring out characters outside the main five. I'll post doodles of this AU later, but for now here's the ref I've drawn up.
Tumblr media
For those who don't know what Ninjago is, its a lego show about ninja with elemental powers. I don't really watch the show any more but its a fun concept so here we are.
I'm too tired to fully explain my reasoning behind why I picked which element they all got so I'll give you the very short answer. Fell free to ask questions though if your curious about anything.
Fireheart is elemental master of fire(for extremely obvious reasons)
Graystripe is water elemental master because of his connection to RiverClan
Ravenpaw is elemental master of ice(I don't have a good explanation for this one, it just fits somehow)
Dustpelt is the elemental master of earth because of his name
And finally Sandstorm is the elemental master of lighting because of the storm part of her name.
Now for the part where I'd love some feedback. Not sure if I'll actually get any but I'll at least leave this here in case anyone actually does have something to say. If you don't care, feel free to ignore the rest of this.
For anyone what knows the show or at least wants to throw your two cents in, I've considered putting Bluestar in the role of Sensei Wu and Tigerclaw in the role as Garmadon, but I would love to hear if anybody has a better suggestion. Wu is the mentor figure and teacher to the ninja. If you've only ever watched the movie, he's just another mentor figure that gets killed off, but in the show, he's currently still alive. Garmadon in the show, is the brother of Wu and a villain for a while before getting the evil taken out of him and becoming a good guy, and then sacrificing himself. He is then later revived, but in his evil form which is currently how is is in the show, kind of(I haven't kept up too well so I could be wrong about this).
Basically, who should the mentor figure be and who should the villainous counterpart be. I can work around family trees and make two characters related somehow, if anyone has better suggestions than Bluestar and/or Tigerclaw.
Also, in the show, Zane(ice ninja) has a falcon friend, and since I made Ravenpaw the ice ninja, I thought it would be cute to give him a bird friend as well and have considered making Barley the bird since I'm a huge FireRaven shipper but still appreciate the bond Barley and Ravenpaw had in the books. I thought making Barley a magpie bird that follows Ravenpaw around would be a nice little addition to the AU. I'm totally down for suggestions for different birds since I'm not set on a magpie, thats just currently the one I'm thinking about. I am also open the hearing suggestions for different inclusions of Barley, with him being an actual character rather than being Raven's bird friend. The falcon in the show never got a proper name so Raven's bird doesn't have to be someone specific, it can literally just be some bird.

Complete collection of all my MAP concept thumbnails <3
[MAP LIST / DESCRIPTION BELOW]
KANGAROO COURT - GREY WING + CLEAR SKY
This MAP follows Grey Wing, Clear Sky, and their brotherhood throughout DOTC.
Song: HERE
80's theme, a lot of bright colors and funny hair styles.
PMV (with some minimal animation)
NO LULLABY - TALLSTAR + RAVENPAW
This MAP is centered around TallStar and RavenPaws mirroring stories - their journeys beyond the clan territories, and struggle to cope with their struggles back home.
Song: HERE
Has a super warm tones color scheme... Yellows, reds, oranges, browns. A tiny hint of green.
Animated, split screen
COME SWEET DEATH - HOLLYLEAF
This MAP takes place after Holly is trapped in the tunnels, where she is forced to reflect on her past actions, and her attempts at fitting back into the clan after she escapes.
Song: HERE
Colors start out more cool and natural, but becomes a lot more contrast near the end of the song.
Animated
THE WINNER TAKES IT ALL - LEAFPOOL
This MAP focuses on LeafPool and her fractured relationship with her loved ones. Her yearning to live the life she desires, and the impact of StarClans unfair treatment onto her.
Song: HERE
The overall pallet is super pale, leaning more towards the greys. (Look at Leafpool & Crowfeather - Wolf)
pmv
HOUDINI - LIONBLAZE
This MAP is centered around LionBlaze's place in the prophecy - how he struggles with his power, fears of causing harm to his peers, and continuously wishes to be a normal clan cat. Also some BreezePelt sibling conflict.
Song: HERE
This MAP would have a LOT of bold, contrasting colors. Reds to represent LionBlaze and his perspective, maybe some blues to represent StarClan, yellows to represent his fathers side of the family..? Just a thought.
animated
WHERE EVIL GROWS - BLUESTAR + MAPLESHADE
This MAP centers around an AU where MapleShade haunts BlueFur instead of CrookedJaw, using her previous life and their reflecting experiences to drive BlueStar towards an eventual breaking point.
Song: HERE
50's/60's theme. The map would have a super dark, bleak color scheme, a lot of blacks and browns
pmv, LINELESS
LOST POWERS - GOOSEFEATHER
This MAP follows an AU where GooseFeathers connection with StarClan causes his peers to push him towards leadership instead of medicine, and how his curse and inability to avoid the bad omens hes given conflicts with his role as leader, and close connection to his ancestors.
Song: HERE
Overal cool tones, a darker living world to contrast with the bright whites of the StarClan spirits
minimal animation

Hey if you have anything more to say about the firestar doesn't exist so the og apprentice gang + longtail save thunderclan instead I would love to hear it
yes actually!! i have many to say about it but I felt like firestar-centric AU's are overdone so i got self-conscious but ANYWAYS.
I wanted the AU to give more personality to ferncloud and sandstorm, (and silverstream) but i also didn't think only one of the og apprentices could've taken on firestars role so instead their 'importance' is divided up. (like they're a unit, they *cant* function without eachother in this sense)
-> greypaw is the son of whitestorm and willowpelt -> ravenpaw and dustpaw are brothers but not specified parents -> sandpaw is a known loner kit with brindleface and rosetail being her mother figures
sandpaw is rough around the edges and doesn't listen to others, shes stubborn and a major supporter of tigerclaw, darkstripe and whitestorm. her ideology starts to crumble as dustpaw and ravenpaw peel back the dangers that come from it (they notice how much of a danger tigerclaw is) and shes extremely self-conscious of her unknown parentage and roots.
when sandpaw realizes that her ideologies doesn't line up with her role model she becomes withdrawn, spiraling further into self-doubt and lack of identity since tigerclaw would definitely take a jab and her lack of 'clan-blood'. his disappointment in her crushes her and she doesn't protest any further in fear of forever ruining the relationship she has with tigerclaw.
SO the burden of knowing tigerclaw is evil lies entirely on yellowfang (who notices right away how dangerous he is) ravenpaw, dustpaw and longtail. later on cinderpelt also feels off about tigerclaw.
greystripe finds out about mistyfoot and stonefur being the children of bluestar and uses this information to re-join thunderclan since leopardstar wants him out of riverclan
longtail tells dustpaw about the things that tigerclaw and thistleclaw would do and what part of the warrior code they'd twist and change
sandpaw and greypaw go on the quest to get windclan back and then to get frostfur's kits back. (more characterization would also be given to frostfur here)
ravenpaw is the one that brings yellowfang to thunderclan, and yellowfang's relationship with him is more akin to what hers and runningnose was-- unfortunately ravenpaw has no desire to become a medicine cat.
greystripe still kills whiteclaw and without an emotional buffer for his emotions he becomes more reclusive and withdrawn and when the time comes he actually leaves thunderclan to be with silverstream.

scourge propaganda:
his design. he's a black cat with a white paw and a collar with actual dog teeth sticking out of it, as well as dog claws/teeth that act as claw caps to be more dangerous
his backstory. he's the youngest of three kittens, his older siblings socks and ruby having bullied him relentlessly for his small size
he was not originally named scourge, but tiny. he only said his name was scourge because a street cat asked him
he spent his entire life seeking revenge on one cat that scratched him up, and ended up killing him nine times over with a single blow
he calls the group of cats he leads bloodclan. BLOODCLAN.
he is the protagonist's half-brother, and he dies while fighting him
he doesn't go to cat heaven or cat hell bc hes a cat atheist
there are probably hundreds of amvs and animatics and pmvs and maps about scourge and theyre all extremely edgy. i can and will get a list of the best ones: you're going down (still in development, but storyboarded), the closer map, and pirate scourge (technically an au w/ ravenpaw, but still), to name a few
there are countless edgy animation memes featuring him
practically invented the split screen drawing, with one side being him as tiny and the other being him as scourge
when killing tigerstar and taking his nine lives, he traumatizes the battle cats in front of him. yknow, the ones that constantly are fighting and dying from horrible injuries or illness
is shipped with another evil cat, ashfur. need i say more about that
he ran away from home because his siblings lied to him about what would happen if he didnt get adopted, and got bullied by street cats before claiming to have killed a dog
has caused permanent damage to my psyche
his legacy still continues through the books even though he died in the first arc- there are still bloodclan cats who still have teeth in their collars
all in all, you should vote scourge. and if my reasons didnt convince you, then how about the fact that im autistic. did u think abt that huh
Something to consider folks
