Morningflower's mother is confirmed to be wrenflight, who is tallstar's younger sister, as revealed in Tallstar's Revenge. That makes morningflower his niece...

Oh I forgot. Is Gorse-baby now an Oriental like his father (and I assume Morningflower will be one too)? I recall for the Purebred pretty project you made him an American Wirehair. But he seems like a baby Oriental in this...still cute.

Yeah Gorse will be more of an oriental-inspired kittycat now, even tho I'm stretching it a bit - I mean since I'm Norwegian, I have Scandinavia in mind when I think about their territories (it's just what comes naturally to me) so even tho WindClan here have the proportions and faces of Orientals, that's about it. I mean a Clan full of cats without a proper insulated undercoat would croak come the frosts lol.

That is perfectly alright. To be honest, I always assumed the Clans exist in some make-up country that somehow has access to mountain lions, wolves, beavers, and raccoons. It only occured to me later that these are supposed to be set in England...but they never really make an effort.
What if WindClan were a bunch of short-hair NFCs? That can explain why there are cases of long-hair individuals (even though it really should be of no surprise since this breed is primarily long-hair).Β
Orientals are lovely, but...I would not mind seeing a shorthair Tallstar, Morningflower, and Gorsepaw family

Hehe to me it was the opposite way around I came into the series being told from the start (by whom I don't remember) that this was supposedly set in England to I tried to visualize it, y'know kinda like Animals of Farthing Woods? I grew up with that you see. But alas, the visual only lasted until about the first time they crossed the mountain and the whole mountain lion debacle started... once the rest of the non-English animals started showing up I gave up. Tbh why didn't the Erins just agree (or harpercollins for that matter) to set the shit up on an American stage from the getgo? Would've saved them so much embarrassment I mean wolves haven't been seen in the UK since the 1700s, and trust me when I say raccoons are black-listed to such a degree they are NOT safe on British soil they're really protective of the native species they've got left and the American invading animals do damage like nobody's business. Just google the history of the American Mink in Norway, runaways from mink farms settled along the coastline and they've nearly ruined our sea bird populations and it's not probable we'll even get rid of the little shits.
Could work, a lot of moggies in Northern Europe exhibit traits of forest cat ancestry - which is a big help during the winter months for sure. I've even got physical evidence in my own Titus, who as a 50% Siberian has a muuuuch thicker, denser coat than the average shorthaired mix.
Hehe true yeah they'd be lovely like that. And oh not a bad thought for Gorse's looks, since the shrub (I think it categorizes as a shrub idk for sure) is pretty long and tangly.

To be honest I feel their fault is trying to peg it to a certain location. But alot of people flipped over the racoon part and it is quite funny, pet cats can give raccoons quite a bit of trouble when they want too. But really the worst thing is that raccoons carry rabies...
It would have been better if Skyclan was being threatened by rabies, because even a healthy cat could be a carrier. It was that way in a book about wolves. This one wolf's pack was decemated by rabies and she became infected by licking her dead mate. Didn't show any signs until the disease finally came into play and she bite a rival dominant female. Destroyed her pack too

So...the canon is that i'm Tallstar and i'm the father of my half-nephew
π: 0 β©: 1
Nope, because Morningflower would most likely not be Onestar's sister...which made no sense. She was a very old elder, but not him? how does what work out?
π: 0 β©: 1
Beacuse he was in the secund litter. Morningflower in the first one, and he and Ashfoot in the secund one
π: 0 β©: 1
But it was confirmed that Su's words were not canon, just her headcanons that Vicky approved...then denied. So...nope ~
π: 0 β©: 1
I was not talking from getting the information form her, but the wiki. Their parents are Wrenflight and Stagleap, and they have those three
π: 0 β©: 1
But this came from Vicky and Su, so it is most likely false.Β
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, why does it say so in the wiki from Morningflower? iΒΏm still gonna believe that, and are you sayin' that Vicky is lying?
π: 0 β©: 1
Easily could be that they did not get around to editing her page. But yes, Vicky lies and so does Kate.Β
Anyway, Ann and Laika have their own ideas for warriors and they draw the line. If Ashfoot and Onestar were siblings, then Heathertail and Breezepelt are cousins who mated and had kids (which does not excuse or redeem Breezepelt of his crimes or attempted crimes). The Clans are inbred enough as it is.Β
Realistically Morningflower can't be a child of Stagleap and Wrenflight. Neither of them are ginger and ginger = torties. If anything, Larksplash is probably her mother due to being a tortie.Β
π: 0 β©: 1
Then wjy the wiki says so. And it is read it in the story, and literally every cat is related, LOL. But Larksplash couldn't be her mother. I mean....Morningflower wasn't even born when her REAL mother was a kit, so that means that Larksplash was probably old for that. And i honestly don't believe so. But oh well, if you want to, get your information wrong
π: 0 β©: 1
Screw the wiki! It's just as messed up as the books are.Β
Just because it's canon doesn't mean you HAVE to accept it. I reject most of the things that is said or 'confirmed'.
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh well, that's weird. Now i wonder if you believe in flying elefants as is not confirmed
π: 0 β©: 1
Now you are just being ridiculousΒ .
π: 0 β©: 1
xD OMG. I'm kearing Β , but i truly believe that Morningflower, Ashfoot and Onestar are familyΒ Β
π: 0 β©: 1
Whatever you say, but don't expect everyone will follow something just because it's canon.Β
π: 0 β©: 1
SO much love here. It's the cutest thing ever.Β
π: 0 β©: 1
Thank you very much, I'm really happy you think so!

Does Tallstar move on from Jake, or was he never romantically involved with Jake in this au?
π: 0 β©: 1
Hmm, not entirely sure... I haven't decided if Tall will have a fit and leave the Clan at any point (like canon) and in the case I decide he won't, I guess he and Jake'll never meet in this universe.Β
π: 0 β©: 1
To be honest, that did not make much sense. Sandgorse was a downright douche to Tallstar before his death, so Tall had no real reason to 'avenge him'. But I do like the idea of a cat leaving the Clan because they need a break from drama and life.
π: 0 β©: 1
Ditto. I mean sure it might wreck Tall to lose his father whether they were close or no since like, a dad's a dad, but... why the need to send him on a journey?? Like it solved absolutely nothing in the long run and promoted no virtue of Tall's that told the reader "yes this is a future leader peeps" all he ever did was have a very prolonged temper tantrum.
π: 0 β©: 1
Β The book just failed in all aspects...I'll say to just scrap it and have Tallstar never know Jake, thus he can appreciate Firestar for being a brave young warrior who took a dangerous risk on behalf of his leader.
π: 0 β©: 1
Will keep in mind. xD

I stopped caring about the books in general...even worst because we now have...Flipkit, Snapkit, and Spirekit...the hell?
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah the names have become a disaster in and of themselves I've no clue whatsoever what they think they're doing these days...
π: 0 β©: 1
Your names are better 
Β I feel so bad for those kits...but maybe I can salvage them...right now I'm more focused on ShadowClan which is a surprise as this is not my most favorite Clan.
But I must ask...is Snowbird your version of the tortoiseshell queen that Squirrelflight helped in Dawn? I was talking to Laika and...I found myself thinking of Snowbird and suddenly it made sense...unless Fernshade had more kits.
π: 0 β©: 1
Glad to hear that. x3 But I do admit I've a major soft spot for Nightshimmer m'self~
Hahaha it's the opposite for me I've always liked the mean, grumpy ones so ShadowClan is my number one favourite.Β
Hmm, I don't think so... Snowbird's too young to have been that queen, not sure - WR isn't fully fixed detail-wise so it could be anyone atm. But if you push back Snowbird's age ofc it could work, cuz there isn't any territory destruction in my TTB-verse lol so there'll be none of that. x3

The main problem I have is ShadowClan has no reason to be so nasty...they are just as guilty of having HalfClan and foreign bloods as the rest and Russetfur was a former kittypet too.
Ratscar was a warrior in Tigerclaw's Fury...but I used that cat for Minkshade...I love her

Gorsekit being the son of Tallstar? Who's the mum?
π: 0 β©: 1
Gorsekit's mum is Morningflower (way back in Fire and Ice). And Tallstar isn't actually Gorsekit's father according to the Erins, but AnnMY already mentioned that there would be little canon in this series of pictures(mentioned in the first Babysitting Dads picture), so it is artist interpretation there. Super cute picture! :3 I always used to think of Tallstar as Gorsekit's Dad until I read Tallstar's Revenge. Now I'm pretty much behind shipping Tallstar and Jake, 'cause I think at least Tallstar had feelings for Jake and they are adorable. But I still appreciate this idea a lot, and love little Gorsekit!! <3 Actually, Tallstar, Morningflower, and Gorsekit are three of my favorite WindClan cats.
Wonderfully sweet work! Glad to see you're back! I love your interpretations (and improvements, haha!) of the Warriors series.

I think Tallstar and Morningflower probably would have mated out of duty. Morningflower wanted to have a kit and no other toms wished to do so, so Tallstar volunteered.
Aww, thank you. In fact, I just came up with a new theory regarding Mapleshade:Β tobyandmavisforever.deviantartβ¦
π: 1 β©: 1
It was really nice of Cougartail-31 to answer for me, thanks. And I'm happy that you liked my picture too! But yes I admit I have long since been a TallxMorning person, afraid that settled so very deep in my bones it won't shake off. Your take on it is also rather interesting though, as it would serve the Clans well even for non-romantically inclined warriors to agree to mate for the sake of siring future warriors (not necessarily very romantic headcanons, but interesting ones in and of themselves)
π: 1 β©: 1
It's alright to ship an uncommon shipping. One of my ships is a full grown Mistlekit (Mistleshade) with Ashfur.
π: 0 β©: 2
Now that would be a pairing that I could sink my teeth into. Mistlekit and Snowkit were also in the nursery at the same time as Brindleface's second litter.
I may need to consider this. The age gap is not glaring (Mistle is not his relative either)...you are a genius 
π: 0 β©: 1
And with that, it would probably stop Ashfur going insane over his lack of a mate.
π: 0 β©: 0
Thank you. Considering how much animosity it can bring in this fandom to ship the wrong thing I really appreciate hearing this from time to time. And that's actually quite an interesting headcanon you have there, it sounds really cute!
π: 0 β©: 1
It's a pity the Erins forgot about her. It may have been intreasting to have her around
π: 0 β©: 1
Very true, very true
π: 0 β©: 1
I'm not quite sure on her personality just yet.
π: 0 β©: 1
You'll get to it, sooner or later, I'm sure~
π: 0 β©: 0
They are both so gorgeous! 
π: 0 β©: 1
Happy to hear it! Yes I think it was Iycanroc who first insisted that WindClan cats would look better as Oriental-inspired and I merely... let her have her way I guess haha, but yeah they look quite distinct now. I'm not too good with Oriental proportions yet but I'm glad you think so, thanks.
