Leaders can choose which life they want to lose in order. The will experience something related to that cat's death or, rarely, have a talk with them. When the leader dies, they go into a misty, swirling meadow, surrounded by the cats who gave them their lives.
Pinestar chose Harepounce first, wanting to brave it. He felt the aching in her stomach, but also the intense love for her daughter, Whitekit. It is a looming feeling, especially when he first eats kibble, his belly full while other cats go hungry that night.
Bluestar chose Mosskit last, and instead of feeling the winter's chill, she felt nothing but safety and love, the snow becoming a blanket to settle into. Mosskit allowed her to spend her last moments lucid, seeing all of her children on the bank as she passed.
Crookedstar chose Appleshine for his first, and felt the intense pain she had felt as she died, and the pain gave him determination to keep going during a battle with Thunderclan. (Guess what they were fighting over!)
Tallstar's second to last life was lost after the Bloodclan battle, he chose Dawnstripe's life. She showed him the thrill of the battle she had passed away in, but that while sometimes fighting for something is necessary, it isn't always the only option. It sticks hard with him.
Brokenstar picked Sagewhisker to get rid of it first, he felt the intense pain of the heart attack that killed her, from that point on he made other cats fight his battles more, wanting to hold onto his lives.
Leopardstar's final life was with Brightsky, who she had been avoiding. She watched her mother's life slip away, and the heartbreak that her mother had felt seeing that 2 of her children had been born sleeping. She realized as the world faded to cold darkness that she'd made a mistake.
Losing all his lives at once, Tigerstar had begged each of them to save him, one by one. But they could not, even if they wanted to. The last lost was the tiny warrior, Olivetail, showing her death was at the claws of his own ancestor, Gorsestar, in the same way he himself bleeds out now.
Firestar choses Swiftclaw first to get that over with. It is agonizing pain but all the Might of Lionclan in his bones keeps him going and fighting even when the literal jaws of death clamp down. He remembers Swiftclaw, and all the young cats he is fighting for when he comes back to the living world.
Blackstar chooses to lose the life Blizzardwing gives him, wanting to be rid of it as fast as possible. He feels sickness claw at him, and rage at an unfulfilled life full of regrets. It's... sobering, especially when he just lost the life due to a branch falling on him.
Leafstar choses Dawnstar (who gives a life for Selflessness) during Skyclan's Destiny to see if she is doing the right thing by helping the rogues. It is calm and cold and quiet, her lungs feel tight but she can feel guilt baring down on her as she watches herself through Dawnstar's eyes denying herself catmint to make sure the other cats can live through the greencough epidemic, seeing a Starclan cat looming over a kitten, knowing he will be a heroic leader.
Onestar's final life was Brushclaw, who didn't show him his death, but only talked about how disappointed he was. He gave Onestar a life for friendship, and Onestar chose to isolate himself afterwards, acting unfriendly towards even his own clanmates.
Mistystar's first life was Crookedstar, and she spoke with him about what happened to Leopardstar, and if she was a bad cat for it. He gives her reassuring words, and tells her that he is proud if her.
Bramblestar's first life lost is for Longtail, he feels the terror as he loses his sight, reliving Longtail's last moments before the tree crashes down, all he can think of is the last though in Longtail's head: I can't let prey go to waste, I'm sorry Poppydawn. It rattles him completely.
Rowanstar chooses Cedarheart during a Yellowcough life loss, who fought with all his might to protect the Riverclan nursery, dying for them just as the retreat order was called. It fills him with vigor and strength.
As Harestar lays dying of Blackcough, he picks Barkface. They talk, and Barkface confirms that, no, he will not recover from this. But not to lose hope, for Windclan's future is still bright, have faith. As he gazes over at Breezepelt, he feels a glimmer of hope.
Tigerstar's second life lost after Rowanstar was Flametail, he missed his brother too much to save it for later. The water made him afraid, but when he saw how Jayfeather had tried to SAVE his brother, he personally traveled to Thunderclan and invited Jayfeather to a feast, re-building a bridge that had been hanging in threads.

wheelchair rugby european championship starts tomorrow and you can stream the matches on the Channel 4 youtube !!
I'm very excited, I love watching WCR live :) I'll possibly be live-blogging it (I'll find a tag people can blacklist if you don't care lol) I'd definitely recommend tuning in its a great sport to watch! Not too hard to pick up and even if you don't know the rules it's very impressive.
I'm pretty sure this is a 4s competition (I'm a 5s player) which means all players will have upper body impairments. It's also a mixed-gender sport.

Hey iirc you made a TTRPG that ran though a wiki at one point. Is that still up? Side question, what wiki services do you recommend for someone hoping to avoid Wikia/Fandom, if any? (considering staring one for my cat character sheets)
yeah, for sure! its called Wiki Crawl Revolution, currently its only a couple pages but ive been talking to some folks about spending a weekend fleshing it out properly.
the site its on, Miraheze.org, seems like a really great tool from my limited experience. they're suffering an outage at the moment, but otherwise they've got strong intuitive tools built w the same framework that Wikipedia uses. highly recommend it, and if you try it lemme know how it goes!

sorry to spam you, but. what happens with scourge in your rewrite? he’s my favorite <3
Please, don't ever apologize for sending lots of asks! I love answering them and they can help me think of things I hadn't thought about before, or flesh an arc out. Send as many as you want, all of you!
Anyways, Scourge, the literal scourge of my brain, because I've had to rewrite him 3 different times.
This little guy has been reworked SO much. The first was to tell the story of a downfall, how sometimes people become worse than the people who hurt them, and pay for it, but showing that there was still 'Tiny' in there, having The Rise Of Scourge end with his spirit, now back to being Tiny, reuniting with Quince, while his older self faded away.
I... Hated the vibe. And I'm probably gonna save THAT kind of ending for someone else...
I then changed it to be somewhat more like Better Bones, but with Scourge remaining leader of Bloodclan.... But that also doesn't line up with the themes of Graystripe's Clan and Ravenpaw's Path, where Fury and Neo Bloodclan come into play.
I didn't wanna kill him. I didn't want him to join Thunderclan. I didn't want him to stay in Bloodclan....
Then, it hit me.
So... Meet the new Scourge. He can say the F word.
Scourge
His story is one about coming back from the brink of no return.
Firestar has noticed something about Scourge. The fur around his neck has rubbed off, his voice is brittle, swallowing is so difficult that he drools a bit, his breathing is shallow, and he's... Painfully underweight. Now, aside from the terrifying thought that is "how strong would this guy be if he WAS properly nourished?", he realizes that even if Scourge manages to make it through this battle, he will most likely not make it to next season.
In a flash, Firestar leaps onto Scourge's back, and sinks his teeth into his scruff and collar. Just like his new deputy Longtail did to him, he begins to pull, hoping and praying that Starclan will grant another miracle.
The collar snaps, just as Scourge is about to pass out, he takes in his first deep breath in ages. Firestar pays for it with his first life.
Swiftpaw, now posthumously named Swiftclaw, is chosen as his first life to lose. He feels the pain and terror and rage and desperation that Swiftclaw did, but he also puts pieces together. Why did this happen? The real why. Not just the dogs getting a taste for cat. Not Tigerstar's seemingly unending thirst for power. Before all that.
This problem is the fault of the Clans. Churning out radicalized youths who will hurt others because of the instilled belief that Might Makes Right. Sure, Scourge has taken things too far, and seems hellbent on revenge, but the seeds of this bloody battle were planted on Clan Land.
Blackfoot, Brokenstar, Leopardstar, Mistfang, Darkstripe, Longtail, even Crookedstar and Nightstar have all fallen victim to this belief at one point of another. Tigerstar was not made in a vacuum. This kind of "kill or be killed" mentality is not making the Clans strong, it is getting cats killed.
He sees another vision of himself fighting Scourge, killing him. But his sight flickers, and it makes him sick. Scourge's build is so much like Princess. His eyes the same shade of blue that Cloudtail has. He sees his own loved ones in the one he is fighting. He is sinking his teeth and claws into his own Kin.
And then, finally, he sees the vision of Tigerpaw being goaded by Thistleclaw to beat Tiny. Then Thistlepaw being rewarded by Adderfang for sparring with a Riverclan apprentice and tearing their ear. Adderfang charging into battle alongside his father, too eager to take a life from Heatherstar Heatherstep. Tigerclaw berating Darkpaw for failing a training exercise. Darkstripe getting his new apprentice Longpaw to eat prey instead of giving it to the sick elder... The vision ending with Longtail touching noses with the newly named Swiftpaw, a line of cats behind him so long it stretches into the shadows, endless kittens behind Swiftpaw, a mentorship doomed before it even began. Generations of cats hurting each other with no end in sight.
Enough is enough.
When he comes back to life, he slams against Scourge, dodging his attack again, and looking around to confirm his worst fears. All of Bloodclan's cats are fully grown. The Clans have brought apprentices. This victory is for the future, to Save The Clans as Fire Alone.
He slams Scourge against the ground, and knocks him out. However, Rooster, a Bloodclan cat, cries out that Scourge has been killed. To be fair to Rooster, Scourge is laying limp at the feet of Lionclan's leader.
While many Bloodclan cats scurry away, some to one day become Neo Bloodclan, Firestar taps the ground to call attention to Snowpaw, using a bit of Body Speaking to silently tell the deaf apprentice to sneak Scourge to camp, grabbing Scourge's torn collar and hiding it for later.
Bloodclan negotiations begin with the cats who stay and will later be seen in Graystripe's Clan.
Meanwhile, Snowpaw drags Scourge through the woods and sneaks him into Cinderpelt's den, scaring Cinderpelt half to death. She begins to treat Scourge, removing the enforced claw tips and gathering some food for him to eat without getting sick from the influx of sudden nutrition. Snowpaw is so friendly that he manages to become friends with Scourge while he is slowly recovering, hidden in the back of Cinderpelt's den and slowly putting on some weight as he eats with his friend while getting more comfortable with others. None of this would have happened if Snowkit had been taken by that hawk...
Eventually, he is healthy enough to groom himself properly and walk around. But... What now? Can he stay in Thunderclan? Would that be a safe option for him? Firestar is still teaching cats to unlearn their biases, and Scourge may be subject to suspicion and discrimination, which isn't fair to him.
Firestar talks with Princess, and the answer is clear.
His housefolk are not home now, haven't been in a week, but... Smudge is pretty lonely. Rusty left a bit of a hole there, he could use a good friend.
Scourge is brought to Smudge's home in the dark of the night, collar in his teeth, and welcomed inside. His collar tag reads 'Tiny' but with no phone number or microchip, Smudge's people take him in as their own, and Smudge isn't so lonely anymore.
Firestar left housecat life to be wild, proving himself with a broken collar, and Scourge is leaving wild life to be a housecat once more, saving himself with a broken collar.
He is seen during Firestar's Quest, slightly chubby and full of energy, and I might have him go on the Quest with them to round out the party. The important thing is, he is happy.
Princess's Short Story, currently unnamed, is about her passing, visiting her old friends and family as a spirit. She finds Scourge's spirit, along with Quince, Socks, and Smoke, enjoying a peaceful afterlife together.
He is allowed a place in Starclan and Sky-Starclan, and will reappear during Beyond The Stars as a supporting cast member.

there's something to be said for ugly emperor's child and slaaneshis in general, I think. beauty as a form of mediocrity. sure there's the perfectionism and golden ratio faces and that, in itself, being extremity. no one perfectly fits the golden ratio or whatever, no one is 100% attractive. it's uncanny valley. and so, in a way, "traditional", "researched" beauty can be appealing to them. but I'm far more interested in the inverse and, to my mind, the more common thing they're a fan of -- being ugly as sin. features that might be considered conventionally attractive taken to unattractive extremes (square jaw? try having a head shaped like a cube), visible and intense "undesirable" traits, etc. where's the pleasure in everything looking the same, all monotone shades of golden ratio faces and "ideal" WCRs and WHRs? the researched ideal WCRs and WHRs don't even fall into extremity! too extreme and people don't find it attractive anymore!
#this is why slaaneshis don't like khornates they're all so generic#nurglites on the other hand.... <3#tzeentchians are varied but they're not really very extreme. except for when they're technicolor that's p cool#i explain myself very poorly here but tbf it's 3am. i just think ugly slaaneshis are way more fun and i think them preferring conventional#+ beauty is lame. one standards change. two it's monotonous. three it's not very extreme#unless you look like some uncanny golden ratio face mapped onto a body with a WCR of 1.000? conventional beauty is laaaaame#it's me#it's me (in the tags)#warhammer#slaanesh#chaos

Mentorship & Teaching
Thunderclan
In Thunderclan, each cat is assigned an official mentor that oversees most of their training. However, it’s not uncommon for apprentices to occasionally be taught by a different cat for the day. Thunderclan is all about family/community, and believes each cat has something to teach. The best climber in the clan will have at least one day to teach the apprentices their skill. So will the best tracker, the fastest runner, the most skilled weaver, etc.
If an apprentice is either struggling with or really enjoying a specific task, they may get extra lessons from the expert. Otherwise most of their training comes from their official mentor. This cat is responsible for keeping track of their progress, and makes the final call on when they’re ready for a warrior assessment.
Thunderclan’s deputy is the most paws-on in training. It’s not uncommon for them to assign apprentices tasks or mini-assessments to judge their progress. This also brings to light any issues the app may be having with their mentor. To wilfully harm a young cat under your care is a heavy sin. And after certain… events, Thunderclan is currently extra keen to nip such abuses in the bud.
Shadowclan
In Shadowclan mentoring is a very serious affair. They possess the most dangerous territory and one wrong move can quickly mean your demise. Therefore only warriors who have regularly proven themselves to be capable are trusted with training the next generation. Apprentices won’t just be handed to you, you have to earn it.
Training patrols are usually one-on-one, though with a couple warriors as protection. Their territory is the most dangerous and they aren’t about to take any risks. Especially now, with so few apprentices to indoctri- sorry, train. Older apprentices may be given group lessons for more specialized skills like trapping and climbing. Even non-crafters will learn the basics of the trade. After all, you never know when a little extra knowledge might save your life.
Riverclan
Riverclan has the least rules and rigidity when it comes to choosing mentors. Generally, any cat willing and able to teach is eligible to be named a mentor. Of course, an experienced warrior is still going to be prioritized over someone who just graduated yesterday. But other than that being named a mentor is a much less scrutinous affair than in other clans.
Riverclan has a very work hard play hard mentality. Cats rise just after moonhigh -when the other clans are usually still asleep- and may fish all the way until dawn. Once the sun is up, however, it’s officially time to relax. Patrols are still sent out, but apprentices are relieved from most of their duties. The rest of the time is spent playing various games with their mentors. While strengthening bonds, it also teaches the apprentices specific skills that are necessary for their amphibious way of life. Besides, the elders like to say if a kit isn’t enjoying, they’re not learning.
Windclan
In Windclan, when a litter approaches six moons of age the medics become very busy looking for omens. Anything, even the slightest change in the breeze, can be considered a sign. How it gets interpreted is where the fun begins. Everyone has a different interpretation and sometimes it can get heated. At least the medics have the mind to stay out of the clan’s earshot when they debate.
Each mentor-apprentice pair must be approved by the head medic. In the past, this meant medics could unfairly promote their kin to deputyship and the like. Though since the clan rarely has just one medic the nepotism has been kept in check. Regardless, being chosen as a mentor is a big deal. Not only did the medics think you’re worthy, but so did your Ancestors, and you better not let them down, y’hear?
Moor-runners and tunnelers are strictly segregated, a divide that forms early in apprenticeship. Apprentices are expected to only interact with apprentices of their own class. The only exception are healer apps as they’re supposed to be impartial, serving the clan as a whole.
