#path of the clans

[maplemouse-warriors]

I wanted to give a quick overview of the different AUs/projects/rewrites that are going on here!

Clans of the Wild AU/Rewrite: An AU up to Po3, and then a rewrite of Omen of the Stars as well as A Vision of Shadows (renamed Clans of the Wild), which is treated as an epilogue arc.

Features: Hollystar, Hawkfrost redemption arc, and Brambleflower and Squirrelflight’s litter of 5 (Aldershade, Sparkstorm, Goldbreeze, Hawkpool, and Redcloud) changing Clan culture.

Tag: Clans of the Wild

Twin Flames Rewrite: A rewrite of the whole series with the premise that Rusty and Princess are the two kittypets that join WindClan as apprentices early on in Onestar’s Confession; Princess (Wildpaw) ends up in ThunderClan after WindClan is driven from the moors, and Rusty (Firepaw) remains in WindClan.

Features: Wildflame and Sandstar as lesbians, Firestar adopting and raising Onewhisker and Smoke’s kits (Squirrel, Leaf, and Dark), and Power of Four, where each Clan gets a prophesied cat.

Tag: Twin Flames Rewrite

Reincarnation AU: An AU in which StarClan is dedicated to keeping the river of fate running smoothly, and Tigerclaw just keeps tossing boulders into it.

Features: Squirrelflight and Leafpool are Redtail and Spottedleaf reincarnated, and Hollyleaf is reincarnated Hawkfrost.

Tag: Reincarnation AU

Tundra Colonies: An extremely self-indulgent semi-warriors-ification of the Barbie and the Magic of Pegasus.

Features: Fun politics! Magic and lesbians! Wildblaze, who is so tired and doesn’t want to be here!

Tag: Tundra Colonies

Path of the Clans: A Powered by the Apocalypse Warriors table-top roleplaying game I’m developing. Let me know if you want the handbook!

Features: A reputation system and a 2d6-based game.

Hey! Do you like Warriors and TRPGs?

Well, I’ve been working on a Warriors TTRPG called Path of the Clans! It uses the Powered by the Apocalypse system (uses 2d6) and is intended to be as customizable or non-customizable as you’d like. I’m hoping to release version 1.0 soon, and I want to know what people are looking for in this kind of game. Feel free to message me directly or add some thoughts in a reblog.

one pet peeve of mine in founders-era fanfics is when madara's whole,,,, everything is solved by izuna just being there

like maybe this is just me, but i don't think izuna surviving or even coming around to the idea of a truce with the senju would've been enough to keep madara from the path he ended up on.

izuna wasn't the reason he left - he was definitely part of madara's issues, but he wasn't the why. even if izuna had stuck around, and even if that had been enough to keep the uchiha clan from losing their faith in madara, i think he would've still come to realize konoha wasn't what he'd hoped it would be.

best case scenario, i think izuna's survival might've caused madara to stick around a bit longer, but i don't think it would've lasted. honestly, even then, that might've just made the inevitable break-up between madara and hashirama even more agonizing (particularly for izuna)

it's a fun idea to play around with for sure, but frankly i don't think canon!madara could've ever been 'saved' from that path. certainly not if the hidden village system ended up getting set up in the same way.

#naruto #naruto shippuden #meta #uchiha madara #uchiha izuna #senju hashirama #from the moment madara was born into that world he was doomed to walk that path i think #most fics that have izuna live and madara still leave that i've seen keep izuna's death as the catalyst. but moved down a bit #which i understand #but imo it'd be more interesting to explore how izuna would feel about his brother's choice #bc as much as people like to view izuna as like a super big bro supporter. he really REALLY isn't #his loyalty is to the uchiha clan #we're explicitly shown that if forced to pick between the clan's interests and madara's dream izuna will pick the clan #both as a kid when he and tajima fought tobirama and butsuma #and as an adult when he used his last words (or the last words hashirama ever heard from him) to further that divide #the clan chose konoha over madara. and i think izuna - as against the idea as he was to begin with - would've also #not bc he doesn't love his brother. bc his loyalty is and always will be to the uchiha clan #hell madara was the same until he was physically forced to stop #first by hashirama trying to use his own life as a bid for peace between their families #and later by the uchiha clan's rejection of madara himself #madara is like. if the doomed hero trope was the antagonist #having said all of that zetsu was never going to let izuna live bc he needed madara to get the eternal mangekyou sharingan #and izuna was the only one of his siblings who lived long enough to see him get the regular sharingan. so it had to be him #but like i said even if that weren't the case it wouldn't have mattered #madara believed that the end - the world of dreams - would justify the means. if izuna hadn't given up his eyes freely... #well. it's not like people didn't end up thinking madara had taken them anyway #i don't think even naruto could've saved madara really #the only thing anyone could've saved him from was dying alone #which is what would've happened if everyone except him was in the infinite tsukuyomi when kaguya came back #and honestly even tho all three of his deaths had other people there (hashirama then obito then hashirama again)

"I once thought of you as my weaker half, the part of me that I needed to be rid of so that I could lead the Toppat Clan without weakness.

However I was foolish in that decision and paid dearly.

But you Henry, you have done what I could not and shown yourself as not only the stronger half between us...

...but you have become your own person throughout your struggles."

#henry stickmin #terrence suave #doodle #henry is surprised to see terrence while terrence is just beaming with pride with henry #au idea where terrence and henry were once whole but terrence decided to throw away part of himself so that he would lead the toppats bette #this failed spectacularly and terrence was dethroned by reginald #meanwhile the other part of terrence found himself taken in by gadget gabe #who decided to give this identity the temporary name of henry stickmin and let him stay at his lab for a bit #with henry finding himself testing inventions ever so often for some money before deciding to go see the world for himself #and soon henry would find an apartment and then get the idea to rob a bank one day and setting his path before him #terrence originally wanted revenge against the toppats for dethroning him and wanted to fuse back with his other side #but after seeing the toppats get to space and henry earning the respect and friendship of reginald and the clan he decided not to #only wishing henry well before going off to figure out what he wanted to do now #rambling in the tags #retro anime aesthetic #fake anime screenshot

Sure Tawnypelt naming one of her sons after her evil dad is an odd choice (I always saw it as her trying to redeem the name or just remember the good things about him) but what I find most alarming is that it seems like?? No one told her kids about how evil their grandfather was???? Because Flametail was hoping to see Tigerstar in StarClan when he became Littlecloud's apprentice because he was such a "great warrior"?? HUH???

#either he's in denial or somehow an entire clan kept mum about that whole tyranny thing #OR or or or actually. there is also the possibility that a significant chunk of shadowclan does still hold tigerstar in high regard #following their leader no matter how dark the path is does seem to be a shadowclan cultural thing #either that or they've had a really bad streak (or several bc we see this in code of the clans too) #while thunderclan has become full of rebels only since firestar haha

Verily, the Lasombra stand as chieftains and seers, monarchs and sages, warriors and holy men. They weigh with care who merits the Embrace, yet show no mercy to those of their ilk who prove unworthy. Indeed, the sole menace to the dominion of clan Lasombra may well be clan Lasombra itself. Montano, eldest childe of Lasombra, now governs from the distant Castle of Shadows in Sicily, his rule extending as a shadow over his Sire's troubled repose, haunted by visions of darkness and the Abyss.

Deep-rooted in religious fervor, perchance due to their profound affinity with shadows, many among the Clan tread the Path of Heaven. This fervent piety kindles strife within the Clan, turning their gaze inward. In Iberia, the Shadow Reconquista rages—a clash between Christian and Muslim Cainites, dividing the Clan. Its echoes reverberate far beyond Iberia, ensnaring distant allies. Christian Lasombra within the Church rally resources for Christian forces, whilst Muslim brethren seek alliances, especially with the Assamites. They implore their Jewish kin to join their cause, for fear of dire reprisal should Christians seize power in Iberia.

Yet, the schism without mirrors the schism within. The Cainite Heresy festers within the Church, a heretical cult dominated by Lasombra priests and bishops. These apostates claim Cainites, marked by God, akin to angelic beings, with the Curse of Caine sanctifying them. Naturally, even non-Christian Lasombra decry this doctrine as blasphemy, striving to expunge such heresy wherever it takes root.

Moniker: Magisters Visage: The Clan of Shadows boasts a diverse assembly, with members hailing from Spanish, Italian, Jewish, North African, or Arabian lineages. Most Lasombra garb themselves in opulent attire, bedecked in silks from the Orient, sumptuous French brocades, or the resplendent fabrics of Arabia. Even those within the Church, though it eschews worldly riches, often don regal vestments befitting their high station.

Refuge and Quarry: Some affluent Lasombra opt to dwell amidst their familial estates, masking their true nature to retain control over their holdings. Here, they find ample sustenance amidst kin, servants, and retainers. Others, averse to the complications of concealment amongst throngs of mortals, establish solitary abodes of opulence, sacrificing convenience for secrecy and security. Some adherents of the Cainite Heresy feed upon their congregants, veiling their actions as sacred rites. Nonetheless, such practices demand utmost discretion, lest they incur the wrath of more orthodox Christian Lasombra.

The Embrace: Lasombra often select their progeny from among the affluent, powerful, or politically astute. Yet, Magisters may equally embrace those of humble origins, whose ambition and intellect shine bright. Birth alone cannot gauge one's mettle or capacity for leadership.

Clan Disciplines: Dominate, Obtenebration, Potence Weaknesses: Lasombra cast no reflection in reflective surfaces, rendering it arduous to conceal their supernatural essence from mortals. Moreover, they recoil from bright light, suffering additional harm from sunlight.

Organization: Within the Clan exists the Amici Noctis, the Friends of Night—an exclusive fraternity admitting only those who have proven their worth to the Clan. Presiding over the Courts of Blood, the Amici Noctis grants leave for Amaranth, serving as the final arbiter of its application. Unsanctioned Amaranth invites swift retribution, as decreed by the Amici Noctis. Predominant in central Europe, Montano staunchly opposes the Friends of Night, forbidding their presence in Sicily and the Castle of Shadows. In Iberia, the Shadow Reconquista impedes the Amici Noctis's authority, rendering it powerless to quell the discord.

Stereotypes: High Clans: A meaningless distinction, espoused by the equally pointless. Our ascendancy stems from merit, not lineage. Their classification as High or Low speaks volumes of their discernment. Low Clans: Let other High Clans spurn them. Only a fool rejects a valuable asset or indispensable ally. Assamites: More akin are we to the Children of Haqim than to most others. Let prejudice blind others. They are honorable and worthy allies. Ventrue: The Scions misconstrue power and position, to their detriment. Let them pursue lofty ambitions; it renders them pliable. Followers of Set: Let them strive to revive worship of their defunct deity. Time marches on, and those who resist progress are trampled beneath its stride. Tzimisce: Godless pagans, one and all. They spurned the chance to forsake their heathen ways. While we acknowledge their might, we cannot place our trust in them.

i think one of the reasons i’m so drawn to xue yang (besides Hot. and Vaguely Evil) is that every time i see him i’m staring at an alternate universe wei wuxian. he and wwx are absolutely each other’s ‘what could have been’ and watching them interact is so fascinating

#you can so clearly see how despite beginning in the same situation their paths diverged so early on in life #and then we get into the nurture vs nature debate #i’m willing to argue a bit of both here #wwx is so fundamentally justice oriented and we see what lengths he will go to to defend that #literally with his life #i don’t think you could ever change that but i do think the (limited) care of the jiangs certainly shaped him #xue yang seems so fundamentally drawn to cruelty #but it’s hard to see where the pain of abandonment and thirst for revenge separates from his nature #i think he would have always been interested in cruelty i think that aspect of him cannot be changed #if he just wanted revenge he would have stopped at harming those who abandoned him #yet he continued to extremes and murdered entire clans seemingly for fun #i would argue even if he had a loving upbringing that innate cruelty would have still manifested itself somehow #HOWEVER #xue yang with a loving upbringing is still harmful but certainly not to the extent he is without it #i see that version of him as a more twisted wwx type who is into experimentation but ultimately is drawn back to society by his loved ones #they are so fundamentally opposed in their values #and yet on some level they are both that scared abandoned child #mdzs #the untamed #cql #wei wuxian #wei ying #wwx #xue yang #xy #cql meta #the untamed meta #i love 2 am philosophy

So what do your leaders do all day? In the cannon clans it seems like they just sit around at camp all day and let the deputies do all of the work. Until the plot needs them anyway.

Leaders are given 9 lives for a very important purpose; they are supposed to live as their Clanmates do, understand them, and guide them as shining examples of what a warrior should be.

A leader who's inaccessible is considered a failure. Clans can't do anything about this until ASC and it's rare to begin with, but their clan WILL get upset about it.

Patrolling, sparring, hunting, and even cooking are all things a leader should be doing. Is it still very high-pressure? Yes. Ultimate authority rests on them.

So what's a deputy for?

Busywork. Day-to-day decisions that would prevent a leader from actually engaging with clan life. Setting up patrols, gathering news, settling small disputes, etc.

You could consider them a very authoritative secretary. If a Clan is being TOTALLY run by its deputy, that's a problem. If a Clan is BARELY being run by its deputy, that is also a problem.

So, expect to see cats like Firestar just around more often. It's not shocking to see him return from patrol or a little walk, carrying a mouse or two.

#Clan culture #Of course some leaders isolate themselves more often... #Onestar probably does because of the unwanted pressure and paranoia #His clanmates conspired against him and tried to kill him... he couldn't just lead normally after that #I feel that Onestar was actually on the path to ENJOYING leadership at first. At first. #Though surprising and unwanted I think he would have been a fair leader. #Because in spite of being a coward; Onewhisker is also a people pleaser. I see him as wanting to make WindClan a good place for everyone #That's what I got out of his early actions in Winds of Change anyway #And TNP #And with this culture change I think it suited him nicely. In spite of unwanted changes like not going to aftergatherings and pressure #But how can you just return to normal after an attempt was made ON YOUR LIFE? #To know your friends and loved ones hated you so much they were going to kill you? #'What did I do wrong?' #How can you not become paranoid after that? Expected to act like it's fine #You can't go back to normal after that #Bonefall Rewrite #another hour of Bones rambling in the tags
