Am I procrastinating on writing WildClan by drawing instead? Perhaps. On a related note please take a Crowshade for your troubles :3

Hello WildClan readers, enjoy a small teaser of the upcoming update with zero context!

ANOTHER UPDATE! With some actual plot-moving stuff instead of just fluff. - The sunlight that would usually make TwigStar feel pleasantly warm felt uncomfortable as he made his way over to GoldenStar, who had just finished talking to Speckleheart. “GoldenStar” He spoke to get her attention as he stopped a tail-length away from the fluffy nicheling. GoldenStar hummed in acknowledgement before turning her head to see the other leader. “Yes?” She asked with a gentle smile. “I was wondering if…” TwigStar considered not asking but he knew his clan would never get home if he didn’t so he pushed through. “I was wondering you and your clan would consider helping us chase out the bearyena that are lurking in our territory” GoldenStar’s eyes widened slightly and it was only then TwigStar realized he had never specified the reason WildClan fled from their home. “Bearyena are the reason you three fled?” She asked as her face reflected sympathy making TwigStar’s face sour a bit before forcing himself to look neutral again. “Unfortunately we can’t fight them off ourselves due to the numver of them” TwigStar bit down his pride to instead be honest about the situation. “There’s at least three” He added quickly as he wanted GoldenStar to know what her clan would be thrown into. “Of course we would repay you by-” TwigStar tried to continue to tell of Blossompaw’s suggestion to pay off the debt but was stopped by GoldenStar interrupting. “We’ll help” GoldeStar answered without a shred of hesitation, being unable to just stand by as other nichelings got kicked from their own home. “…Well we were thinking we could pay you back by giving you prey for a few moons” TwigStar continued but GoldenStar shook her head. “That won’t be needed, I’m sure that’d put strain on your own fresh-kill pile” GoldenStar refused the idea but TwigStar’s face scrunched in mild annoyance. “We can’t just let such a kind deed go unpaid” TwigStar insisted. “Not every deed needs to be given something in return, I insist” GoldenStar said firmly making TwigStar’s tail flick as he tried to think of a way around it. “Well it feels unfair to you and your clan” TwigStar continued and GoldenStar felt like this was going to be an unwinnable argument. “If you’re going to insist on something then let be give you an idea” GoldenStar said and TwigStar stared as he waited for her next words. “Every moon we could meet to discuss if any bad situations need help from outside the clan, so if we ever need your clan’s help you’ll know about it” GoldenStar suggested and TwigStar looked away as he considered it. Meeting with a different clan once a moon sounds like another responsibility. But he doesn’t want him or his clanmates to be WhisperClan’s debt either. He raised his head and looked into the other leader’s eyes. “I’ll agree to those terms” TwigStar said and GoldenStar bit back a laugh at the way he tried to sound so formal. “Alright” She said in response with a sense of relief that she had gotten him to agree to something that wouldn’t put as much strain on his clan. “So…would you be willing to help us as soon as our injuries are healed enough?” TwigStar asked tentatively, not wanting to push and come across as forceful but he was restless to get back home. “Sure, I’ll inform the clan next sunrise” GoldenStar agreed at the realization that he was probably homesick and from the way his clanmates were acting they weren’t thrilled to be in another clan’s camp either. TwigStar’s posture slumped in relief before he saw GoldenStar’s stare and returned himself to a more confident stance. “Thank you for your help” TwigStar said before turning around and walking towards a small group consisting of Blossompaw and Sandstripe. Crowshade watched from the edge of the clearing as Blossompaw laughed with Sandstripe as they chatted. She felt her fur prickle like it was crawling with termites at how close the two had gotten in the short time WildClan had been here. She shifted the way she laid to turn away from the two at the other end of the clearing to instead stare into the tall grass that bordered the camp. It seems as if Blossompaw spent more time with Sandstripe with each passing sunrise and it made Crowshade nauseous and, if she was honest with herself, agitated. Blossompaw was her friend first and despite her rational mind telling her it isn’t true her emotions were telling her she was being replaced. The thought made her feel as if she ate a large helping of bitter medicinal herbs with no water. “Are you alright?’ The sudden noise caused Crowshade to jump to her feet with her quills standing on edge with a hiss on her tongue before noticing it wasn’t a threat. Standing a tail-length away from her was Mudvine, who sported a concerned expression as she looked at her. “I’m fine” Crowshade said as she forced her quills into a relaxed position once more and sat on her haunches. “Are you sure? You looked a bit…angry” Mudvine considered if that was the right word but decided it was close enough. “I want to leave this camp” Crowshade half-lied, she did want to go home but that wasn’t the reason she was bitter at the moment. “Well I’m sure you’ll be able to soon” Mudvine said though she didn’t entirely believe that was the whole reason. “Can I…ask why you refuse to socialize with anyone other than your clanmates?” Mudvine tentatively spoke. “There’s no point” Crowshade retorted while resisting the urge to glance over at Blossompaw and Sandstripe. “Why?” Mudvine asked with some confusion. “We’ll leave soon and never meet again” Crowshade plainly responded as she felt there was no point getting attached to nicheling’s she’d never interact with again. “Oh…” Mudvine said as the realization struck her. Mudvine opened her mouth to ask another question but the annoyed glance Crowshade shot her made her shut it again and instead turn around to go back to the medicine den with a feeling of sadness at the complete failure to converse with Crowshade. Nichelings from WhisperClan and WildClan gathered into the clearing after Speckleheart had told the various nichelings news of a clan meeting. Many nichelings were bleary eyed because it was quite early but all of them situated themselves under the tall rock. “I’ve called a clan meeting because me and TwigStar have made an agreement” GoldenStar’s words caused many eyes to focus on the WildClan leader, though none made him more uncomfortable than the stares of his clanmates as the night had given him time to realize that he forgot to consult his clanmates about such a decision. He didn’t dare look away from GoldenStar as a way to avoid their questions. “Bearyena had driven them from their home-” TwigStar flinched, he hadn’t allowed her to share that! What if these other nichelings thought they were weak now?! Blossompaw’s ears lowered for a few moments before she forced herself to look more composed. TwigStar wouldn’t allow others to know that info so freely. Crowshade didn’t say anything but her flattened ears were answer enough to all the nichelings of the meeting. “-so we’ve made a plan that WhisperClan will help them drive them off due to there being more than one” GoldenStar couldn’t continue as a nicheling spoke up. “We’re risking our lives for a bunch of strangers, who just showed up and apparently claimed to have been chased off by bearyena?” Sparrowtuft exclaimed in fury. “This could be an ambush for all we know!” He spat as he heard that, what if his clanmates got hurt or killed because of these supposed clan nichelings? Blossompaw bristled the quickest and she verbally bit back before anyone could say anything. “What do you think we are, rogues?!” Blossompaw hissed only causing Sparrowtuft to bristle further. “Maybe! I mean what kinda clan has three nichelings!” Sparrowtuft took a step towards Blossompaw that she copied with her quills standing straight up as she bared her teeth at the other nicheling. “That’s enough” GoldenStar’s voice retained its softness but held enough authority to stop the two from arguing. “You two are acting like kits” GoldenStar said with a scolding tone that made Blossompaw look away while Sparrowtuft scowled but he respected GoldenStar enough to stay quiet. “I understand your concern for your clanmates but accusing WildClan of being rogues is unnecessary” GoldenStar’s words made Sparrowtuft lower his head. “Sorry GoldenStar” He mumbled out. “As I was saying” GoldenStar took a deep breath before calmly continuing. “We’ve also agreed that every moon the two clans will meet to discuss any important news so that our clans have the opportunity to help each other if either clan is in dire need of help” Blossompaw openly stared at TwigStar in confusion while Crowshade kept her eyes on GoldenStar and refused to look over though anyone who knew her could tell she was annoyed. Whispers also rippled through the clan, Sparrowtuft was extremely agitated but wasn’t rabill-brained enough to voice his protests. “When uh, when are we gonna help fight the bearyena GoldenStar?” The current only apprentice of the clan, Flamepaw, piped up with a bit of shakiness to his tone due to not wanting to be rude. GoldenStar gave the apprentice a gentle smile as she knew the young nicheling was respectful almost to a fault and wanted to ease his nerves a little. “Once Blossompaw’s injuries are fully healed, do you have any idea when that would be?” GoldenStar turned her question towards Lightstream and Mudvine. “She’ll be good to go in a few sunrises” Lightstream answered while Mudvine nodded her agreement to her mentor’s assessment. “Perfect, so a few sunrises than” Flamepaw just nodded at the leader’s words. “So everyone should get a lot of rest and food in preparation of the upcoming battle” GoldenStar spoke with a commanding tone. “That’s all, meeting dismissed” GoldenStar said before jumping down from the rock as nichelings began to discuss the news while splitting into their own groups. “You didn’t think to talk to us about it first?” Crowshade said with agitation after the three had gone into a secluded area of the territory. “Well I couldn’t just say ‘oh give me a little bit to ask my clanmates’ when me and GoldenStar were talking could I?” TwigStar snipped back, just as annoyed. “You probably could’ve” Crowshade said as she knows by now that GoldenStar doesn’t seem like the type to be annoyed easily. Blossompaw’s eyes flicked back and forth between the two as they argued. “Well he probably just wanted to make sure we got to go home faster” Blossompaw reasoned making Crowshade turn towards her but she couldn’t really keep a glare when she was looking at her so she sighed. “I guess but it would’ve been better if we did what we planned” Crowshade relented a little. “I tried to offer that but she refused to accept it so I had to compromise because she was trying to insist they help us without any repayment” TwigStar said with a glance towards the side.“…I guess it’s fine than” Crowshade completely relented as she realized that did sound like something GoldenStar would do from what little she knew of her. “I wish I could be healed now so we can go home right now!” Blossompaw grumbled as she turned her head to look at the three long clawmarks along the left side of her torso. “Well as much as I’d like to leave it’d be worse if you didn’t heal completely and reopened the wound while we’re fighting” TwigStar said as he too glanced at the scar before looking towards the tall grass. “I know” Blossompaw sighed in reluctant agreement though it did nothing to ease the antsy feeling in her chest.

Also have a drawing of Dropletrise, her mate RunnelStar, and their new kit named Hillkit.

I am working on that new playthrough but unfortunately I have a habit of doing WAAAY too much worldbuilding and characterization before I can even begin the story so it's taking forever and a half to actually start. Not to mention coming up with title ideas is giving me grief, for a hint it will have a ranking system and I'm trying to come up with titles because I feel most of mine have book-like titles and I want to continue that trend but unfortunately I am blanking-

Time for me to start another playthrough because I have 0 ideas/motive to write more WildClan at the moment and I have been listening to songs that give me a really strong and cool idea for a character that I unfortunatly cannot fit into any existing playthroughs without seeming out of nowhere/sudden (Or because I simply don't want to figure out how they would interact and/or clash with the existing characters!) Yes I am very active today mostly because I am buzzing with so much creative energy at the moment and don't want to waste it. But first I'm gonna play with random generators because I have to have SOME rules/caste system/etc. or else I will get bored, but if I have too many rules I will be annoyed so wish me luck y'all-

I intended to draw a new profile pic but instead ended up drawing a cat from a clangen save file of mine, oops- (Her name is Dropletrise just in case my writing isn't super clear)

I kinda want to change my profile pic, I'm thinking of having it be Magma (I hope someone at least remembers her from an old playthrough of mine-) But a small part of my brain is like 'No make it a WildClan character like Mossbeetle!' so I am low-key struggling- It'll be funny to finally have a profile pic after like three years without one though :3

I got an art tablet yesterday and I'm getting used to it, bit of a learning curve especially considering I'm also getting used to a new art program, but I'm trying to figure out how it works so here's some very rough doodles. More specifically doodles of me struggling with deciding on a design for Crowshade, and I just realized there's no quills on any of these doodles- I'm making the artistic decision that she WILL have a tail in my design of her though because I'm the artist and no one can stop me!

The sapling is a game where you mostly just watch an ecosystem evolve, more specifically the creatures and the plants! Fish game is a really fun game for me to play in short bursts because I love designing the tanks, the newest update introducing the ability to rotate plants as a small part of the update is a neat! Also the fact the fish can now follow your cursor sometimes after having them a while is such an amazing feature to me considering when I had a betta he would follow my finger around if I put it near the glass :3 What's your favorite game to play right now? (if you have one)

Hello everyone! I would love to write more WildClan but unfortunately I decided to try and delete the personality descriptions for the dead nichelings and then mindlessly closed the writing site only for me to now realize that in deleting some descriptions I also managed to delete ALL OF THE WHISPERCLAN NICHELINGS DESCRIPTIONS- I had our main 3's personalities in a word doc but didn't get around to putting the WhisperClan nichelings into it yet so now I'm going to have to rewrite a LOT of stuff, so if their personalities seem a bit off next time I update WildClan that's why-

Thank you for all the cool ideas! Can't promise they'll be used anytime soon but next time I need a name I'll remember these! Yea I play clangen all the time and SOMEHOW didn't even think of using it to come up with names- Thanks for the suggestion :3

A bit out of nowhere but if any of you have some good/interesting warrior cat prefix and suffixes I'd appreciate if y'all threw them my way, not for any particular reason but just because I'd love to have some extra ideas in case I need to name any of my characters for my playthroughs in the future and can't think of any off the top of my head :3

Behold a TwigStar and some drawing+shading practice! (I took many creative liberties with the chest fur and tail because no one can stop me >:3) Also I added lots of texture to the mane, cheek, chest, and tail fur because I think he has stiffer/rougher fur! Also kinda feels like it fits the Twig prefix-

A quarter-moon had passed and the three WildClan nichelings were still heavily cautious and always had one nicheling stay up while the other two slept to ensure their safety despite GoldenStar’s many promises that they wouldn’t be harmed. Mudpaw, the medicine nicheling apprentice as the clan had found out, had her ceremony to become a full medicine nicheling which the name Mudvine. Mudvine had been trying to become friends with Crowshade though it was debatable if that was making much of any progress due to Crowshade currently being fairly cold due to the whole situation WildClan was in at the moment. And Sparrowtuft’s sneering and mockery whenever his clanmates weren’t looking was not making her feel any more welcome. “Can’t you at least tell me your favorite type of prey?” Mudvine pleaded as Crowshade resisted the urge to hiss at the other nicheling giving yet another attempt at befriending her. “Rabill” She answered only because she hoped that Mudvine would leave her be. “Oh that’s cool! Mine is worms” Mudvine said causing Crowshade’s face twist into a grimace. She so badly wanted to express her disgust at the idea of eating worms but she also did not want to risk angering the clan that was sheltering her and her clanmates at the moment so she bite her tongue and said nothing. Mudvine deflated as she didn’t hear even a peep from the other nicheling. Was she really that unbearable to deal with that Crowshade wouldn’t even give her a small conversation? A tiny twinge of guilt twisted in Crowshade as she watched Mudvine’s posture droop before standing up and walking off. But she didn’t move from her spot as she continued to watch Mudvine until the other nicheling vanished from her sight before going back to idly staring at nothing. “I want to go home” Blossompaw’s ear flicked as she spoke those words and neither of the other WildClan nichelings could disagree with the statement. “I know but we’re not exactly ready to launch ourselves into another fight” TwigStar replied as he idly glanced around, most of the WhisperClan nichelings were out hunting or patrolling so he had gathered his clanmates to a secluded corner of the medicine den to talk. “And we’re stuck here” Crowshade grumbled as her paws dug into the ground below her to channel her frustration into something else. “Yeah, and the only idea I have is one I really don’t like” TwigStar sighed but Blossompaw perked up. “Well an idea is better than sitting around and doing nothing forever” She said as she looked over at TwigStar while Crowshade looked at him expectantly. “The only idea I currently have is asking GoldenStar if she and her clan would be willing to help us fight the bearyena” TwigStar admitted and he could see the moment that both of the two realized why he didn’t want to say anything about his idea. “Then we’d be in their debt” Crowshade said as she realized that they would have to pay them back somehow. “How? We don’t exactly have much to offer” Blossompaw piped up as she tried to figure out what they could even give in return. “That’s kind of the issue, even if I did ask we’d be in their debt until we found something to give up the only thing we have is…” TwigStar’s face soured as he had an idea. “Is?” Blossompaw prompted with a questioning stare. “Territory” TwigStar’s words caused Crowshade to bristle. “No” She hissed. “We might need it” She continued with a low rumble of irritation at the thought. “And there’s a bunch of stuff to explore, I doubt we’ve taken over the whole island” Blossompaw huffed completely agreeing with Crowshade especially on this matter. “But if we asked we’d need to pay them back with something, waiting would be worse because they could hold it over us” TwigStar said with mild annoyance, he didn’t like it but he didn’t want to be stuck in WhisperClan’s camp forever. “Once we’re healed we could fight them off ourselves!” Blossompaw declared but TwigStar just shook his head. “There’s more than two, I could smell them when I was leading that one away, there’s three at least” TwigStar said making the two look at him and he realized he forgot to mention that. “So we’d need more nichelings to help, believe me if I had a choice I wouldn’t even suggest it” He continued making Crowshade grimace while Blossompaw’s snout scrunched in irritation but neither of them protested. “Maybe we could just…I don’t know, hunt food for them and bring it to them as payment instead? Then we wouldn’t have to give up our territory and help them in return” Blossompaw said. “I mean you’re an amazing hunter TwigStar and if we all work together surely it’ll be enough for them” She rambled a bit out of nerves as she noticed both nichelings were silent. “That’s perfect!” TwigStar’s sudden exclamation startled Blossompaw into flinching making TwigStar wince before continuing. “Then we could repay our debt without having to worry about it being held over us” He said as he nodded to himself at the idea. “I’ll bring up the idea to GoldenStar later” TwigStar announced as he realized he may have a solution to their problem. “The sooner we get home the better” Crowshade said with relief. “I can’t wait to sleep in my own nest again” Blossompaw said with a happy sigh at the thought. Blossompaw couldn’t get a wink of sleep so she rose from her nest and carefully stepped outside the medicine den while ignoring the twinge of pain from her side, though thankfully it wasn’t as bad as when she and her clanmates first arrived. Her head turned this way and that before slowly making her way to the edge of the clearing. “Where are you going?” The sudden voice made Blossompaw’s ears flatten against her head as her gaze landed on a sandy-furred nicheling with thin white stripes running along her pelt sitting next to the camp entrance. “I just wanted to look at the stars” Blossompaw answered as she groomed the fur on her shoulder for a bit. “And why would you need to leave camp for that?” The nicheling asked questioning glance. “So I don’t wake anyone up” Blossompaw said with some confusion, wasn’t that obvious? “I’ll come with you than” The other nicheling said as the confused tone led her to believe that Blossompaw’s answer could be an excuse. “Okay?” Blossompaw wasn’t thrilled at the idea considering this was an attempt to relax that was now being invaded by a nicheling she didn’t know. She considered just going back but her legs were restless and the thought of laying down made her internally cringe. = She found a small clearing away from camp that showcased the sky like a prized possession. She slowly walked forward as her gaze was captured by the glittering lights that swam through the inky skies. Relaxing wasn’t something she could completely do as she was reminded by the sound of pawsteps taking a step closer to her. “I’m sure you’ve heard my name so what’s yours?” Blossompaw asked as she turned her head towards the nicheling who flinched at the unexpected conversation before answering. “Sandstripe” The nicheling answered as she looked over to stare at Blossompaw with a curious gaze. “Sorry if this is rude but you look like a fully grown warrior so why do you still have the paw in your name?” Sandstripe asked completely catching Blossompaw off guard. “Oh! Uh that, it’s uh- my warrior ceremony was pushed back due to me not being exactly blessed with hunting skills” Blossompaw stumbled a bit before landing on an answer that wasn’t entirely a lie. “That’s unfortunate, I’m sure you’ll get it soon” Sandstripe replied as she noticed it seemed like a bit of a sore spot for the other nicheling. “Yeah…I sure hope so, I want to be a capable warrior” Blossompaw said with a sigh as she returned her eyes to the stars. “I get that” Sandstripe said in complete agreement. “You do?” Blossompaw’s gaze was stolen from the stars once more as she turned towards the other nicheling with open curiosity. “Yeah, I want to prove to my clan that I’m worthy of getting the spot of deputy in the future, maybe even leader” Sandstripe said before shaking her head. “The only thing holding me back is my fighting skills” She grumbled. “I mean they’re fine, decent, but I want them to be the best they can be to prove I’m worthy” Sandstripe said with a deep breath that she soon let out while Blossompaw’s eyes shined with an idea. “We could train!” The sudden volume caused Sandstripe’s fur to bristle. “Er sorry” Blossompaw apologized before quickly moving along. “You said you’re not the best at fighting and I’m not the best at hunting but I’d say my fighting skills are my best ones, so maybe I could teach you better fighting moves and you could teach me how to hunt better! Maybe I’d learn better from someone new” She rambled in her explanation so it took Sandstripe a bit to catch everything but once she did her face lit up. “And we could both boost our weakest skills and prove we’re the best we can be!” Sandstripe’s voice raised a smidgen as her excitement increased at the idea of becoming a perfect warrior. “But you’re injured and I’m sure you’ll return to your clan’s territory once you do” Sandstripe’s excitement dampened at the realization. “We could meet in secret to train” Blossompaw suggested with a casualness that Sandstripe’s mind froze at. “What if our clans view us as unloyal because we’re meeting with a nicheling of a different clan?” Sandstripe’s ears lowered and she broke eye contact as she spoke. “GoldenStar and Speckleheart don’t seem like judgemental nichelings to me, and TwigStar would understand if I explained it to him” Blossompaw couldn’t see an issue with it and it made Sandstripe consider the idea. “I…guess you’re right, it’s for the good of our clans” Sandstripe relented as she realized it couldn’t hurt. “Exactly!” Blossompaw said with a grin. The two sat in content silence for a while before Sandstripe noticed the sun was just beginning to rise. “My post! I was supposed to guard the entrance: Sandstripe said with alarm as she shot to her paws. ”Oh right my clanmates might be a bit worried if I’m not there“ Blossompaw got to her paws at her own realization. ”Guess we should get back“ She said causing the two to turn around and go where they needed to. Thankfully everyone was still sleeping so there was no uproar due to their absences.
