Do you have a design for Bright Storm? I'm fond of the wise older figure thing you're doing with her

I do NOW

Made her, as well as a revamp of my old Thunder Storm design (I last drew him like a year ago!!) in preparation for some character summaries I plan to bang out after finishing a couple drafts, but Bright in particular gets requested so much (anon you're like the 4th person) that HERE, lady girl and her son be upon ye

I'm thinking about doing the BB!DOTC character summaries in "family" posts, so they're all grouped together the way I plan them to act in the story. Every family is telling a little mini-story of its own, in a way, from the Frost family and their inventing prowess, to the Heart family and how the kits react to Bumble's exile, to the Storm family and how they grapple with Clear Sky's influence.

I wanted to make sure Bright Storm was very large and powerful looking, but in a round, kind of "humble" way. She downplays her strength, her intelligence, and even her better judgement.

So she has these big cheeks, fluffy primordial pouch, poofy tail, keeps her head low-ish. Tends to deny compliments.

I was commiserating with my partner the other day about how intelligent characters aren't allowed to be thick-bodied. So between my fat, beloved Bumble the translator and Bright Storm the wise woman battle strategist I'm feeding us both

I needed to "finalize" their stripe pattern, because I actually plan for TIGERSTAR to have the same one. I'm probably going to update my Tawnypelt and Bramblestar designs to have it too; if they don't look better with Goldenflower's.

I just like the irony and bitterness of it. That these ancient stripes, once so associated with compassion and righteous fury, turn into a "legacy" so divorced from what Thunder Storm and Bright Storm stood for.

Becoming a symbol for the idea of modern ThunderClan and the culture of the new times, not the principles it was founded on.

Also I HAD to do the design thing where Thunder Storm's stripes look like top surgery scars lmao, my beloved transmasc boy

Anyway, I've decided that Thunder Storm was a REALLY dark orange. It bugs me a little, especially in-canon, that he looks nothing like either parent. So in BB he's not too far off color-wise from his mama.

I also removed the old "mane" and replaced it with combination white chest + his father's shoulder burls. The mane is going to become a Forest Cat trait, which is why it's going to get so prominent in ThunderClan.

Instead, Mountain Cats have a REALLY high concentration of ear tufts in their genes. They're also huge and generally hairy.

Funny enough though they're also "oily." They come from the Lake Cat population which was pretty water-resistant because of constantly dealing with the lake, and they haven't lived in the Mountains long enough for natural selection to get rid of it.

It's going to become SUPER advantageous for those who move to the River Kingdom, but become less prominent in the other populations.

But for now, Mountain Cats are kinda... well, naturally 'stinky.' That's not a BAD thing to cats who are animals who LIKE strong smells, but it is a notable trait that I'd like The Wind Runner in particular to comment on.

Thunder Storm: "Well? What did she say?"

Bumble: "Ummmmmm......"

Thunder Storm: "be honest"

Bumble: "she says she smelled you coming when you were upwind. rudely."

99% of the time when I'm changing character eye colors, it's to make them NOT blue because there's too many blue-eyed characters in WC imo. BUT.

I think it was another tiny waste to have the narrative constantly stressing Clear Sky's blue, blue eyes, almost like they're hypnotizing, and then they never really comment on what Thunder's eye color signals to other people.

So I've got an idea; instead of amber, Thunder Storm has ELECTRIC BLUE eyes. Almost green, like his mother's minty ones.

Intense as his father's, but more focused. Sharp. Shocking.

Side note: in my research I actually learned it's easier for tripod cats to RUN than it is for them to walk. They can "canter" like a horse, but when they go slow they have to hop. Taking this into consideration.

I put a splash of white on the little bit of lower limb that Thunder Storm has on the leg, so it sticks out a bit more. I don't want it to be hidden I want it to be prominent

I also figured out a hilarious trick for Bright Storm to pull on Sky's Clan at some point lmao

Thunder's crew is in conflict with Sky's cats and the attacks are getting more and more frequent. They decide they need some extra time to carry out some kind of hunt or diplomatic mission, but Bright Storm only has a small group of cats to pull off a stunt with.

She knows she can't fight them head on, but she NEEDS to buy her son more time, so she hatches a plan.

Clear Sky values his intelligence and his ferocity very much. To a fault, even. He loves to outsmart his opponents and overpower them-- so Bright Storm gets all her cats to build a very large, very tall, nearly impenetrable wall out of briar thorns. There's only one way in; the well-guarded tunnel they've constructed in the front.

It would be a challenge for a lesser cat. But Clear Sky, clever devil he is, realizes they've made a fatal flaw; they've built their camp right next to the trees. His fighters don't need to jump over the wall or push through it, the oaks are their allies!

So, while Thunder's cats are all surely sleeping, he gathers his best men and come through the canopy. In well-trained patrols, they swoop down into the camp and prepare for battle.

and no one is there.

You see, there was only one way in... and only one way out.

And Clear Sky and his best fighters watch with HORROR as the tiny crew of guards seals that entrance up like the neck of a bag. There are no trees to climb INSIDE the wall, and it's too tall to hop out of. It won't hold them forever, but it will hold them JUST LONG ENOUGH.

Bright calls this little plan "Operation Timeout."

#I can't help it. Ever since I mentioned how cool a warlord gray wing would be now I can't stop thinking about Bright Storm doing-- #Art of War Looney Tunes tactics lmao #LET THE BATTLE CATS BATTLE #BB!DOTC #BB!Bright Storm #BB!Thunder Storm #BB!Thunderstar #Better Bones AU #It feels very fitting for Bright to have a lot of very ''annoying'' but nonlethal plans like that #Though she CAN and WILL hurt others to defend her family #She doesn't LIKE doing that. #One thing I do want her to keep from Gray is his aversion to violence #But unlike him she's able to come to terms with the fact she HAS to defend what she loves. #And though a lot of it does come from the love she had for Clear... it also comes from her compassion and kindness towards others. #She's been lead astray and blinded by her love of him in the past (especially in how she abetted what happened to Bumble) #But unlike Canon!Gray she's ashamed of what she did after she sits with the consequences #She doesn't want to hurt anyone. But she did. She let it happen. Contributed even #And that's rough. #YOUR HONOR. I LIKE HER.

Anytime someone adds Music Meister to their list of Gotham Rogues I go a little crazy. I love that music man, I love seeing him. It's some good fucking soup.

me when no one on my dash takes lyrics from this song out of context/takes intentionally funny lyrics from this song completely seriously/takes metaphorical lyrics from this song absurdly literally because this song is too perfect, beautiful, sexy, heartbreaking etc.

Other Muses

While Sielu is the main character I write here on this blog, a few other muses exist here that are important to mention.

They are fully-functional! You can send them asks, send me asks about them, ask Sielu about them, etc. and I'm always happy to answer! That said, I made images of them with a Picrew I found here so that you can see a general idea of what they look like.

(The exception to this is Pauhu, who I commissioned from @kamuiyamato !)

Keskiyön Siipi | Midnight Wing

Sielu and Sydän's mother. She was once known in the percussion sphere as something of a prodigy, but quit performing for reasons the public never got ahold of.

In actuality, she had suffered the loss of both parents. Her father was lost in a skirmish with Windaria when she was 19 and mother to illness shortly afterward at 21. Her younger sister disappeared only a few months after that, and Siipi found herself completely overwhelmed by it all.

Sade, her friend at the time, encouraged her to take a break from commitments just to grieve and process everything. Even though he was only 22, he convinced his own parents to let him move in with Siipi to make sure she wasn't all alone. They eventually fell in love with each other, got married, and had twins.

Siipi never did go back to public performances, instead finding her joy in raising the kids. Moving the furniture to dance with Sydän and staying up much too late to have tea with Sielu were both common in their household.

Iiriksen Sade | Iris Rain

Sielu and Sydän's father, plus a best friend to Pauhu. Sade came from a large family, the exact middle child of five kids. He met his wife at a rehearsal due to both ending up in the same orchestra. They became friends, though about two months later Siipi disappeared from rehearsals.

He had a feeling something was wrong and went looking for her, finding her hysterical on a bench. After some talking, he learned of the recent string of tragedies and offered to come sit with her for a while. It turned into the whole night, then a week, and eventually he moved in. He took a job as a music librarian and principal violinist for a local community group, soon adding instrument crafting to his occupation list on top of those.

His softspoken, kind nature made him a gentle and attentive parent. He was a father who rarely mentioned his children's accomplishments to others, rather preferring to discuss the last time they played board games or had lunch together. Loose acquaintences sometimes misinterpreted this as Sade not being proud of his kids, but this couldn't have been farther from true. He merely didn't believe in using their achievements to make himself look good to strangers.

Oranssi Lento | Orange Flight

A creative and lively person, Lento was almost a perfect friend for Sielu. They were close from the time they were young children. She was extremely mischevious and loved getting up to just about anything other than being bored. Even though they spent less time together as adults due to Sielu's job at the palace and Lento's job in theatre, they remained good friends. When they did get together, they were able to pick up as if they'd only been apart for a few minutes.

Vihreä Terälehti | Green Petal

Born to parents of blue and yellow, Terälehti had it hard from the getgo. Both his parents believed in the propaganda against green, pink, and brown Mist, which in turn led to them resenting their son. Sielu was the first person to show him any care or concern, followed shortly by Lento, Sydän, Siipi, and Sade. Sielu regarded him as one of the best friends anyone could ever hope to have and Terälehti largely felt the same about Sielu.

As a young adult, he began to challenge the status quo of Misterican society's bias against "dangerous" types of Mist by means of writing and peaceful public demonstration. He also took over ownership of a local library, adding as many community resources as he could for those who wanted or needed it with help from Sielu.

In person, he was very laid-back and comfortably quiet. He often kept Sielu's antics from escalating too far and always saw to it that everyone made it home safely.

He died a few months before Misterica's fall. Sielu holds the firm belief it was foul play, but given the fact Mistericans fade upon death, nothing was ever proven.

Ukkonen Pauhu | Thunder Roar

Most knew Pauhu as a skilled musician, leader of a community choir, and a composer, but Sielu knew him as a teacher and honorary family member. Pauhu taught Sielu to sing and was also the main source of inspiration for many of the techniques used in Sielu's own teachings years down the line.

Few knew, but Pauhu also spent a handful of years studying magic after discovering he could tap into his soul. Finding it wasn't his passion whatsoever, he quickly abandoned it to pursue only music like his father. He was a strict but extremely devoted man who would go to any length to ensure the well-being of those around him. Sade was foolish enough to give Pauhu a key, shortly after which the man became a semi-permanent fixture in his home... much to Sielu's delight (and feigned fear).

How dare you insinuate that I have ever experienced joy

idk how you can say youve never experienced joy when you know touhou exists

#You are a worm through time. The thunder song distorts you. Happiness comes. White pearls but yellow and red in the eye. #Through a mirror inverted is made right. Leave your insides by the door. Push the fingers through the surface into the wet. #You’ve always been the new you. You want this to be true. We stand around you while you dream. You can almost hear our words but you forget #This happens more and more now. You gave us the permission in your regulations. We wait in the stains. #The word that describes this is redacted. Repeat the word. The name of the sound. It resonates in your house. #After the song time for applause. We build you till nothing remains. The egg cracks and the truth will emerge out of you. You are home. #You remind us of home. You’ve taken your boss with your boss with you. All hair must be eaten. #Under the conceptual reality behind this reality you must want these waves to drag you away. After the song #time for applause. #This cliché is death out of time #breaking the first the second the third the fourth wall #the fifth wall #floor; no floor: you fall! #How do you say 'insane'? Hurts to be happy. An earworm is a tune you can’t stop humming in a dream: 'Baby baby baby #yeah.' #Just plastic. So safe and nothing to worry about. Ha ha #funny. The last egg breaks now. The hole in your room is a hole in you. #You came and we let you in through the hole in you. You have always been here #the only child. A copy of a copy of a copy. Orange peel. #The picture is you holding the picture. When you hear this you will know you’re in new you. #You want to listen. You want to dream. You want to smile. You want to hurt. You don’t want to be. #miserymisume #Asks

I'm not saying Taika Waititi is perfect or the best director in the world, but I do think he understands the beautiful simplicity of himbo Thor better than anyone else and I respect him so much for that, I literally didn't care about Thor before Ragnorok and I don't think Marvel did either
