Support the younger/local actors in Reservation Dogs! This summer I met the father of the actress who plays the younger Deer Lady. We're part of a museum fellowship. He was so excited for her to be on Rez Dogs. She's Assiniboine/Nakoda/Creek/Seminole and honestly so talented.
This was an important episode. Please deliver justice to those who did and didn't survive residential schools.
Consider: Dark forest warriors who have been in there for a long time start growing moss, mushrooms, and whatnot basically becoming one with the forest lol
Uh oh Bluestar I think you might be losing it a little.
"It was a message from StarClan," she murmured. A distant look came into her eyes. "Fire alone can save our clan."
Spottedleaf's message from StarClan - The Prophecies Begin
Tumblr attempts to sabotage me again by making the image look a little blurry 0-0 RIP Spottedleaf. I'm trying to make a super small comic strip based on Dawn of the Clans but that's hard so I procrastinated with this instead. Enjoy!!!

It would be cool if each clan had an ember or a small fire they always keep going so certain festivals or ceremonies can include torches. it would also be something that is super sacred to each clan and keeps them all interconnected; if one clans flame somehow goes out can another clan let you use some of theirs?
If it does go out and other clans won’t share for whatever reason then you need to wait until the next fire in the forest. And do pick up the embers maybe there is a leather made from prey that can be worn around the mouth kinda like an oven mitt so it can be moved with minimal risk.
I think a clan fire/ember would add to the self sufficient society aspect of the WC clans and could add to the depth of their spiritual lives. It makes it especially interesting when you think about how their religion is confirmed real in their world. Each clan may keep their ember somewhere different (ex. Thunder clan keeping theirs in a rock tomb, Wind Clan keeping theirs in a tunnel in the middle of their camp…) and they all interact with the ember in a different way. Maybe only medicine cats can move an ember in Thunder Clan but in wind Clan because it is in the center of the clearing it is more of a communal sharing and honor for younger cats to carry it to light torches on fire.
Maybe the Sun is like the ember of star clan so during fall when the sun is setting earlier they don’t use it but during the winter they use it more to bring back the Sun (the ember of star clan) and during the spring they use it a lot, and during summer they don’t use it as much because the Sun is already out a lot. This could then make interesting plots where winter lasts longer than usual and rather than simply questioning why star clan would cause this they feel it is because they have not helped the sun rise enough with their ember.
Idk whether this would be something started by the founders or maybe around Firestar’s time or maybe it goes back before the founders. but i think something like this with a sacred object could add a lot to the society aspect of the clans and make it a little more cohesive. It could make the clans relationships to each other have higher stakes because if they went out on their own they would for sure not have access to another ember for a long time if it went out.
When i was thinking of this i was like okay that isn’t at all grounded in reality enough to be a cool headcanon but then i remembered they’re talking cats who talk to cat gods??? so i think it’s fine. also they use random plants to help with sometimes fake illnesses so if my HC breaks the universe a little that’s fine
there are not enough festivals in WC. It’s a society of cats and their only ‘festival’ is a monthly meeting? no i need cat season changing festivals. I need cat festivals that bring prey from StarClan.

Thank you Erins for giving Firestar two daughters and no sons, he's a GirlDad as he was always meant to be
