  1. CHAPTER 22 - DAY 331 CURRENT SEASON: Fall Year 8 STATUS CHECK Leader: ROOTPAW (Dark red tom with dark eyes and sharp fangs) Guard: YEW (Sandy-and-gold she-cat with dark eyes) Doctor: SUNBLAZE (Handsome golden tom with golden eyes) Citizen: FLYWIND (Tan tom with white speckles and beautiful purple eyes) Citizen: BLOOMTAIL (Pretty ginger she-cat with bright blue eyes) Arrival: Citizen: DUSTY (Golden she-cat with yellow eyes and a flat face) Fall passes through the colony mostly peacefully and quietly. This is a good thing, since Yew is taking a break from her guarding duties to raise Dusty, her newborn kitten. Bloomtail is keeping guard while Yew raises Dusty. One day while patrolling colony territory, Bloomtail comes across a she-cat with a warm brown pelt. "Who goes there?" Bloomtail asks, raising her hackles. To her surprise, the she-cat raises her hackles back, though being obviously weaker than Bloomtail. "Leave me alone," the she-cat asserts. "I'm just looking for a colony. I don't want to fight you, but I will if I have to." Impressed with the she-cat's bravery, Bloomtail steps back. "Looking for a colony, you say?" "Yes," replies the she-cat. "My name is Bearwing. I moved from my old colony looking for a new life." Bearwing is taken to Rootpaw, who makes her a colony member. "What's gotten into you, lately?" Sunblaze asks Rootpaw at the fall festival. "Her," says Rootpaw directly, looking at Bearwing as she chats with Bloomtail and Yew. "She's beautiful. I've never seen a cat like her. And yet..." "You're too young to marry," says Sunblaze, quickly nipping the thought in the bud. "You need to learn how to rule a colony before you get into anything like that." "And what do you know?" Retorts Rootpaw, flattening his ears and nudging his friend. "Since I'm leader, I should do what I like." He smiles mischievously. Sunblaze is not amused. (Left to right: Bloomtail, Bearwing, Flywind, Sunblaze, Rootpaw, Dusty, and Yew.) Dusty's personality begins to form more, meanwhile. She is gentle and kind, and begins to follow her father around and ask him more about his career as a doctor. Yew returns to her position as a guard, and Bearwing shows interest in the guard position. "I think Bearwing would be a great guard, actually," chimes in Bloomtail. "I enjoy it, but she's got the heart for it. I'm happy to help the colony, but I can't say that I wouldn't rather be picking berries or sunbathing. "If you're both okay with the idea, then I can train Bearwing to be the next guard," agrees Yew. Winter rolls by, and the winter festival arrives. Dusty grows into an adolescent. But to the colony's surprise, as spring comes around, they are once again faced with an abandoned kitten. One day while patrolling the coast of the island the clan lives on, Yew hears weak meowing near the water. Shocked, she finds a dusty-brown, abandoned kitten there. He's terrified and worn down, and is caught in the current of the waves. Yew's first instinct, of course, is to save him. She handles the water much easier than he does and safely brings him ashore. The terrified kitten clings to Yew's warmth, and she feels a pang of pity in her chest. "What happened to you?" she asks, getting straight to the point. "I was washed away... I was playing... on the shoreline... My family was gone..." Yew's ears flattened. She raised her head, looking at the crashing waves around the island. Wherever this kitten washed up from, he wasn't going to find his family or be able to go back. He'd have to be taken in by the colony now. "It was an accident!" the kitten continues. "I didn't mean to! I was just playing.." He's stopped by Yew, licking the top of his head in a motherly manner. "You're going to be okay. It wasn't your fault. Come here." Yew carries the kitten in the hollow of a tree, much warmer and dryer than the shore. "What's your name?" "Kitro," the small tom responds. "Kitro, you're going to be safe here. I can't fix the storm or what happened, but we will care for you here the best we can." Kitro is taken in by Yew and Sunblaze. His personality soon emerges, and he is an energetic, fast-talking kitten. "A kit taken into the colony from somewehere else? I've never heard of that," Dusty says, looking at her parents suspiciously. "I've heard of rogue adults, but a kitten raised as a colony cat?" "It's happened before," interrupts Flywind. "One of my sisters came to the colony the same way. Our mother was the leader of the entire colony before Shadowslip." An illness strikes; Flywind and Bloomtail die. Yew and Bearwing mourn especially for Bloomtail, while Rootpaw mourns for Flywind. "Don't you miss him? You were raised alongside him," Rootpaw asks Yew about Flywind. "He took care of me when my mother died." His voice is sharp and angry. Yew knows that Rootpaw simply misses Flywing, but the question stings. If she's honest, Yew knows that she doesn't miss Flywind- he bullied her when they were kittens, and took joy in making her life harder for years. But she did love him. "I'm sorry, Rootpaw." This is all that Yew can say. "I know that you were really close to him." "Whatever. I feel like I'm the only one who cares to remember him." Rootpaw flattens his ears, padding off to the edges of the colony's territory. "He doesn't realize that Flywind pushed other cats away for most of his life before he took care of Rootpaw," says Yew to Sunblaze, who had been watching the conversation. "Flywind only talked to Shadowslip and Blossom. He was bitter to most everyone else." "But Rootpaw can't act like that. He's young and I know he is still learning, but as colony leader he can't divide the colony because he's grieving. I worry for him." The colony celebrates their Spring festival. Though numbers are smaller, the colony is optimistic with multiple young cats in the group growing strong.

  3. okay im not going to be continuing this because my computer did this funny little thing so i will simply dump the lore straight on yall instead so first of all-this going to sound bad, but honestly, it was created with the intention of being bad so hear me out- Firalis' parents are Wildire (shocker) and. Cocospill. yeah, yknow, Wildfire's own sister. if anyone remembers that time i said i was holding off on showing a certain plot point in IL, this is what i meant. To put it simply: Cocospill lived and came back, since Wildfire was a baby when she supposedly 'died', she hardly remembered her-and, being the messed up individual that she is-grew an extremely unhealthy obsession with her even after finding out they were related. Messed up, i know, but its ME so is it really that surprising (just to be clear, i do not condone having insane borderline stalker crushes on your siblings) But yeah, Cocospill died for real this time when Firalis was a baby and Wildfire left her in the burning jungle. She was rescued by a peaceful bear who brought her back to the tribe but shes got some serious mommy issues. I think Kudufrn is obvious at this point-his parents are Doxx and Southend, massive shock i know (/s) but yeah he's like, half demon?? He was raised by his totally-not-evil-or-a-demon father and his two other, less murdery fathers. Somehow how the one with the least trauma here Rota and Mirifela are descendants of Cream, not completely sure how-probably through Orcene in some way. Their whole tribe basically pulled a Demon Slayer ep 1 (haha im so funny) and all just died one day when the two woke up. They still have no idea what happened, but naturally, being children, they got the hell out of there. They grew up with nobody but each other and faced a looott of shady/ dangerous situations and people Instinct is so far down her bloodline that it basically doesn't even matter but she's like half Edith half Snickerdoodle II. Her mother was the only one around to care for her, but was super standoffish and depressed and could barely even look at her own daughter. Instinct is a bit socially inept because of all that but she tries her best and Today is just a real funny guy. nothing more : ) youll find out at some point maybe

  15. im just going thru old posts on this but i never gave context to what is happening in this drawing or why i made it and i wanna do that just because SO one time probably a little over a year ago i was playing on the old quacktopia server and i forget exactly how this started, but i ended up arguing with some people on whether cereal was considered a soup or not. eventually the argument got so intense that someone ended up building a court thing on their pond so we could debate over it. i was on the side of cereal not being a soup, and that other person in the background was who i was up against and they said cereal was a soup. basically my point of "cereal is cold and soup is warm" wasnt good because then everyone started talking about soups that WERE cold so i had to open up google to get some better evidence and thats what im doing in the picture. the person who i was up against seemed to really know what they were doing, like idk if they researched before hand or what. this other person went to go eat cereal in the middle of the trial if i remember correctly, and then the fourth person ig was just confused idk i dont really remember the entire trial i dont think it even properly ended so yeah thats the super epic context of this drawing, also o7 to the old quacktopia server and my pond that was like 3 years old it had so much stuff on it i miss it 😔
