Am I About To Unleash My Insane Old Idea Of A Warrior Cats TV Show On The World? Yes.
Am I about to unleash my insane old idea of a Warrior Cats TV show on the world? Yes.
So the real world context is that Warrior Cats was a fantasy book series made in the mid 1950's to early 1960's by Erin Hunter in this timeline. Years later in 1970, the idea for a TV show based off the books is made after the refound popularity from the release of The Sight. (I know this isn't co-adjacent to the real world, but younger me was insane.)
On March 18th, 1973, at about 8:00 a.m., the series would premiere its first episode titled 'Into the Wild', which from this period I chose it would air on NBC. It would feature the prolouge and first 3 chapters, except something would be different. After the prolouge ends, we cut to a starry land with soft music until it explodes into jazzy music as a cat with bright orange fur, leaf green eyes, a fancy red bow tie, and a microphone would poof into the scene from nowhere, introducing himself as the show's host, but the viewers could just call him the 'Host With The Most'.
He would explain that he was from the future, sent to the cat's afterlife Starclan after defeating his greatest enemy to protect the clans. He would also say that he's come to tell the story of the clans and how just a few cats could shape their future in unbelievable ways. He would then spin the invisible camera, which then slowly fades into a scene at night of a young red-orange kittypet with a blue collar sitting on the edge of a fence.
Host (which is what I'm going to call him) introduces us to Rusty, explaining that he'll be our point of view for the arc. Rusty, who was seemingly in a trance from looking at the forest, snaps out of it, asking who just talked. Host chuckles as a disembodied voice, saying that it was 'for him to know and you to figure out.'
Before Rusty can ask any more questions, Rusty's friend Smudge joins him atop the fence. He asks Rusty who he's talking to, and Rusty says it's nobody. Smudge then asks why he's staring at the forest, and Rusty says he's going to go in to hunt some mouse. Smudge fake wretches at the gesture, and then says to Rusty that kibble would taste much better than fur. Rusty says that mouse would be better as long as he removes the fur first.
Smudge then asks if Rusty is for real, and Rusty simply replies by jumping off the fence, which gets a light chuckle from Host. Rusty looks at the top of the screen before shaking his head, quietly saying to himself that 'it's not his problem yet.' Smudge then says to Rusty that he wouldn't go in there if he was him, noting how their neighbour Jake says the forest cats are 'dangerous and wicked.' Rusty retorts back that his father's tales are from so long ago that he must be remembering wrong, and he'll only be in there for a few minutes. Smudge wishes him luck as he jumps from the fence and Rusty enters the forest.
Host then narrates Rusty's trek through the forest, with Rusty soon telling Host to stop talking as he's spotted a mouse. As he's about to pounce, he hears a rustling noise and looks behind him. As he looks behind him, a curly furred bright orange tails wraps itself around the mouse and snatches it up off screen. When Rusty looks back, he's appalled, but goes a different way as he smells another mouse.
As he's tracking down a mouse, he starts to smell a strange scent. He slowly creeps towards it, and just as he's about to push through the bushes, a grey ball of fur launches itself on him and tackles him to the ground, scaring away the creature behind the bush.
Rusty growls in annoyance and launches the grey figure off of him, with Host exclaiming in excitement 'I remember this!'. The grey figure stands up slightly dazed as Rusty rears in defense, hissing, until he realizes it's a cat about his age. He's a bright grey with a dark grey stripe running from head to tail. 'Hey there kittypet!' He says, confusing Rusty, with a small Host watching from the corner with a knowing look.
The dark grey cat compliments Rusty's skills, but explains that the forest is dangerous for a kittypet to be there. Rusty asks what a kittypet is, but before the grey cat can explain, the scene freezes and Host appears in the middle of the screen, explaining that a kittypet is what cats call the normal house cat.
As the scene returns to normal, time has sped up, and Rusty, now addressing the grey cat as Graypaw, asks what the clans are that he seemingly mentioned earlier. Host gives a little oops, realizing he skipped over the first clan mentioning dialogue, but continues the scene anyways. Graypaw looks appalled, confused how Rusty doesn't know about the four clans, but ends up explaining anyways.
Graypaw tells him about the four clans, which are fierce and honorable Thunderclan where he comes from, sleek and powerful Riverclan who are enemies of Thunderclan, wise and swift Windclan who run the moors, and proud, cruel Shadowclan who live in the darkest part of the forest. Host comes in from the side of the screen again, about to chime in when the bushes rustle and a blue she-cat and a golden tom appear from behind the bushes.
Graypaw and Rusty bristle at the sight, with Graypaw trying to push Rusty behind him in the bushes while Host squeals excitedly at the two cats appearing. The blue she-cat glances at Host in the corner questioningly before he disappears, shocking and nearly throwing her off balance until the golden tom whispers to her while glancing at Graypaw and Rusty. The blue she-cat asks Graypaw what's going on in a stern voice, causing Graypaw to scramble away from Rusty, making the kittypet more visible to the other two cats.
Rusty shrinks down as the blue she-cat approaches him with a questioning look. She then looks over at Graypaw, asking him who Rusty is, and Graypaw scrambles in front of Rusty, telling her that he's just a kittypet going home. Graypaw tries to push him away, but Rusty pushes him back, strutting up to Bluestar with an innocent look and introduces himself as Rusty and that he was just here to hunt some mouse.
Bluestar's questioning look turns to shock, and then to anger as a sharp hiss resonates from between her teeth. Rusty slightly bristles as Bluestar exclaims that there is never enough, and how dare he hunts for fun while the wild cats hunt to survive.
The clearing grows quiet as Rusty looks down in shame, and after a moment, apologizes to Bluestar and says that he won't hunt there again. After a shared look with Lionheart, Bluestar asks what Rusty's name is, and Host replies with 'That's Rusty, Blues!'. Host laughs as Bluestar rolls her eyes at him, and Rusty asks if she can see him too. Bluestar explains that they all can, and he's been bothering them for a few days, but they believe he's been sent from Starclan just to check on them and that he'll soon be gone.
Getting back to the point, Bluestar asks him if he knows of the clans, and Rusty responds that he does because of Graypaw. Bluestar nods at Graypaw with approval, and then turns to Rusty and asks if he wishes to join Thunderclan. Lionheart and Graypaw gasp, while Host appears behind Rusty, saying 'Do it Rusty!' as Rusty looks up at him. He looks back at Bluestar, who looks at him as if waiting for an answer.
Before Rusty can respond, Graypaw intervenes, saying that kittupet couldn't possibly be a warrior because they don't have warrior blood. Bluestar looks down at the ground dejectedly, saying that too much warrior blood has been shed recently. After a moment, she snaps back to attention, stating that she doesn't make her offer lightly, and Rusty cannot have a paw in each life. She states that the forest is dangerous and cruel, and that Thunderclan demands hard work and loyalty, but that in return, he will always be protected by the strength of his clan, and that he will learn to be a warrior.
Rusty looks up at Host again, who gently whispers to Rusty to think about it. He tells Bluestar this, and Bluestar says he will have time to think, but he must come back to the clearing tomorrow at sunhigh and meet with Lionheart if he wishes to become a Thunderclan warrior. Graypaw waves goodbye to Rusty and Host as he disappears with Bluestar and Lionheart into the bushes.
As Rusty returns home, he talks to Host about how appealing the life of a warrior seems, and that he can't wait for sunhigh. Host chuckles, saying that he sees great things in Rusty's future if he joins Thunderclan. Host then says goodbye to Rusty and that he'll see him again tomorrow, and as Host backs into the bushes and fades away, the camera zooms up to the sky, where a star flashes brightly as a sign of hope as the screen fades to black.

So that's it! I'll post an episode list later for season 1 and then the outline of episode 2, and go from there! This is all from many years ago and is somewhat messy, but I'm trying my best to keep it structured for Tumblr!

Just so everybody on here knows, once I post the allegiances, you are free to draw fanart, make story suggestions, or even just ask about the AU! I'm completely open for anything. You can even ask now about stuff I've already posted, such as the story prolouge, character sexualities and genders, ships, family trees, new roles, and even renames! I will be renaming characters and giving some names they never received, so go crazy! I love when people ask about my stuff because I have a passion to share my work! I want it to be interesting to people, I want people to want to know more. This is something I've put blood, sweat, and tears into, and I really want people to see this. So go ahead, you're open for it!
Okay, going on last post, here's idea number 1 of the trope:
Johnny Norrington is your normal 17 year old who's due to graduate soon. He's not very excited to graduate school, but life will just go on whether he'd like it to or not. His father, Gary, has just recently begun plans for making housing area around a lake for a new town.
One night, about a week and a half before the plans are set to begin, a shooting star falls from the sky and lands in the lake. The next day, after hearing about the comet from a friend, went down to the lake and finds five cats on the shore:Lionblaze, Jayfeather, Hollyleaf, Dovewing, and Ivypool, as they are my favorites to write about and would realistically be the most marketable for the team.
The cats would at first be wary, but eventually soften up to Johnny enough to follow him home. Dovewing would be the quickest to adjust to Johnny's presence, with Lionblaze and surprisingly Hollyleaf quiet close behind. When Johnny questions aloud what happened to the cats, he gets a total shock when the scarred white and grey cat starts hissing on about Starclan in their dreams saying that they must save the new lake by finding the 'cloudy heart of an unexpected warrior'. The fluffy gray cat beside her also explains about the sight of a hawk's feather covered in nearly blinding stars.
Johnny, although clueless about Warrior Cats and dealing with his own school and family problems, decides to help the cats with their magical prophecy and stop his father's company in only a week in a half. From making a new clan in New Jersey itself to having Twoleg warrior training to having cheesy bonding situations with the unfortunate prophesied three, Johnny may just make this cheesy family cash grab flick a more down-to-the-lake experience than the Sonic Movie, while also making a fan clan trope come true.
Her ref is lost to time and I don't have enough time before school tomorrow, but you can use my oc Sunclaw with Nightleaf. She's a black spotted white cat with blue-green eyes and essentially looks like Mapleshade with lesser amounts of fur.
I really wanna draw cats interacting together more and by cats I mean Nightleaf, send cat OCs so they can cuddle, interact or something Please
You can give me a vague idea if you want but you don't have to
Reblogging this early on so everybody here can see this.
If you are ANY of these things, get the fuck off my blog. Likewise, get the fuck off this app too. You are not and will not be welcome.
Hammering this in too, you don't deserve those flags. You are not apart of the LGBTQ+ community, and this is not a safe space for you. You will never be welcome with us, and that is never going to change.
Sorry for a little tangent, but I needed to get this out of the way. Along with this, I'll give a list of what else will not be allowed on this blog and what will not be spoken about:
Proships and Comships of any kind
Mentions of Thistleclaw, Spottedleaf's Heart, or any of the events in that book
Problematic creators in the fandom, such as Sagutoyas, Draikinator, Crystalcolors, Dirgeclaw, etc.
Problematic ships in general. I know the problematic ones of the fandom, which ones to hot ship, and those will not be shipped in this AU. Do not ask me if they will be included or shipped, because they will not and never will be.
Threats to me or anybody following this AU. I'm not fucking kidding, if you threaten me or anyone about this AU, I will take your ass down. I will not tolerate that kind of harassment on or off this blog, and I will not tolerate you being here.
Coming here just to hate. If you don't like it, then find another AU to follow. Now, I will take constructive criticism, but if it's just pure hate, leave. The door is over there, to your left.
Alright, that concludes this little rant. For anybody who doesn't fit these topics, I welcome you with open arms (or paws, since this is a Warrior Cats AU.) Thanks to anybody who reads this and knows that I don't condone awful shit like this. That will not change ever, and if it does, then go absolutely apeshit on me. I'll allow it.
rb if your blog is not at all a safe space for these red flags
(image: dreamsexual, zoophilia, p3d0philia/maps, alt map)
FYI the red-yellow flag is AAM aka adult-attracted minors. Same effects as a MAP.

This reblog is pure Tumblr energy this is one of the reasons why your blog is so silly
Alright folks, gonna give it you here...
Longtail is gonna play a big, big part in the Burning Suns AU. He's gonna be super important to the development of the second protagonist. He's gonna be a good guy and very silly but a lovable morally grey guy.
Longtail lovers, I'm giving you a fucking all you can eat buffet. This man is gonna be in almost every chapter. He's gonna be so plot relevant. He's gonna show up in every single fucking book in the arc. We're gonna see his and Mousefur's friendship early. He's gonna be good friends with Spottedleaf and destroy Clawface for murdering her. He's gonna be a father without a mate cause he's gonna officially unofficially adopt a traumatized little apprentice and Runningwind and Mousefur are gonna help him with the chaotic little gremlin. He's gonna still go blind but he's gonna keep being a warrior.
I have so much more in store for this man that I haven't even mentioned here yet but I plan on feeding my fellow Longtail lovers. Y'all are my brothers and sisters in Longtail.
Alright, time to explain my Warrior Cats au.
TPB Changes:
• Shadefang is a young Windclan warrior who is Graystripe's equivalent of Onewhisker, but they met before TPB began. Shadefang got with Doespring, who had one little daughter named Peppernose, who accompanied Crowfeather on his journey with the traveling group.
• Scourge and Firestar knew eachother when they were young. Scourge still takes a life of Firestar, but realizes it's his brother because of the red streak on his head and red on the back of his ears. He and Firestar end up joint killing Tigerstar, and Scourge becomes a Thunderclan warrior named Frostreed.
• Medicine Cat Ravenpaw named Ravenweb.
TNP Changes:
• Hawkfrost and Peppernose join as travelers with the journeying group. Peppernose comes out of this with a secret relationship with a white rouger she-cat named Snow, and Hawkfrost comes out of this with more good relationships and friendships.
• Tawnypelt and Feathertail become a couple, and Tawnypelt has her kits with the surrogate Apple, a sandy colored rouge tom who is the brother of Snow. They end up having Flamekit, Dawnkit, and Applekit, who become Flametail, Dawnstrike, and Appleheart.
• Tallstar chooses Shadefang as Windclan's new leader instead of Onewhisker. Mudclaw still has his rebellion, but ends up getting defeated anyways. Shadestar now appoints Tornear as his deputy for siding with him even when his brother Mudclaw was leading the rebellion.
• Bramblestar takes the fall for Feathertail and ends up getting amnesia from it. His fur becomes lighter and his eyes become yellow (think Bill Cipher possession yellow), and he takes on the name Bramblepath. He and Squilf become besties, they never become mates, and Ashfur takes the blame for parentage of the three. This also ensures that he doesn't mentor Lionblaze so THANK GOD
• A rouge named Tangle seeks shelter in Thunderclan with her tiny son after her mate Stone abandonds them in a harsh storm. This is set during Leafpool's Wish, and is after Leafpool brings the three to Thunderclan. The thing is, the three are now surrogated by Crowfeather for Leafpool and Nightcloud, so they are also different as well. The three are named Jaykit, Hollykit, and Goldenkit, who grow to be Jayflight, Hollycloud, and Goldenblaze respectively. Tangle becomes a queen, then to elder, named Tanglecloud, and her son is named Dustkit, who becomes Dustbreeze.
The arc really starts with the first book in Power of Three, which is now called Power of Four. Our protagonists are Jaykit, Hollykit, Goldenkit, and Dustkit. While Dustkit may not be related to them or even be of clan cat blood at all, they still basically see him as a brother, and Tangelcloud will often let them all sleep together in her nest just so they can cuddle with Dustkit. The usual stuff of PO3 is prominent in this book, but we get changes with the new POV, more focus on Midnight the Badger playing a big part in the prophecies of this arc, and adjusted personalities and stories of our familiar protagonists.
I'll see you when the book is ready.
Guys what if I told you that the One of Both AU isn't my only Gravity Falls AU and I have two more?
Transmasc Cupioramntic Shadowsight my beloved. Shadowkit purposefully playing around in the dirt so she looks more rugged like a tom my beloved. Supportive family who knew he was a little trans boy before him my beloved. Nonbinary cousin Thirftear and Agender spirit friend Hollyleaf smothering Shadowsight with support my beloved. Shadowsight post-ALITM yearning for the feelings Rootspring and Bristlefrost had but not being able to feel those with anyone my beloved. Shadowsight my beloved.
