arcane characters as warrior cats part 1: the piltovan council

i’ve been thinking about arcane characters as warrior cats recently, and i’ve come up with a bunch of lore for it. i’ve got plenty of characters already made, so here’s one of the groups! you may be wondering at this point, “saph, why not the main characters? this is weird as hell.” and to answer that, because i want to. so there.

piltover in the au i came up with is a clan called gildedclan. the clan has had to adapt to their territory being destroyed to build upper class neighborhoods. unable to retreat further into the forest lest they trespass on other clan territories, they’ve begun supplementing their hunting by taking advantage of the kindness of twolegs. they pretend to be kittypets when it serves them.

heimerdinger in the au is a runaway kittypet who teaches the others in gildedclan how to draw twolegs into feeding them or giving them food they can take back to the clan.

because of the way the clan operates, they don’t have a clan leader, which means no -star suffixes here. instead, they’ve formed a council that splits power evenly between themselves. this comes in handy because on occasion, the cats in the council will be mia for several days or even weeks at a time while cozying up to twolegs.

anyway, here’s the council!

mel- goldveil

cassandra- diamondleap

salo- cunningfang

hoskel- timbertail

heimerdinger

bolbok- goldengear

shoola- rustwisp

+ a bonus cat!

tobias- slatebreeze

Prettier ass sometimes too

Dear Anon, op was more respectful of their identities than you, know your place.

Also on changing characters' sexualities and gender for headcanon purposes, next you're gonna say im being heterophobic for shipping a straight character in a gay pairing.

Its the same logic, and sounds just as stupid.

Sometimes you just want to see your favourite thing in a different font, it doesn't take away from the original, it adds more things to love. Let characters be complex. Let people love characters in their own way.

How can you be a "transmasc Vi/Cait truther" (or whatever it is) and at the same time say that you love lesbian characters? Like you change the gender of canon lesbians to make yourself feel good about being trans, if you do that then I assume that you do not in fact love lesbian characters because you are unable to respect their identities without making them men (or attaching masculine labels onto them).

i absolutely love lesbian characters and i don’t usually attach masculine labels to caitvi. if you look at my posts, I’m usually referring to both of them with she/her pronouns, my fic about them used only she/her pronouns for both of them, etc.

however, butch lesbians exist. transmasc lesbians exist. i’m not doing this to make myself feel better about being trans (i’m genderfluid so idk), I’m doing it because it’s fun and because i can. i respect lesbians a lot. sounds to me like you’re the one who struggles to respect lesbians who don’t fit into your personal definition of what a lesbian has to be.

vi using she/her and he/him pronouns, caitlyn using he/him and they/them pronouns, that doesn’t make caitvi not a lesbian relationship. whatever your “lesbian purity” thing is that you’re trying to do here is kind of silly. at the end of the day, the labels we use are made up and they are as restrictive as we allow them to be. i don’t believe that gender and sexuality labels have to be restrictive, so i make caitvi he/him lesbians.

i hope you can enjoy your versions of characters and learn to let other people enjoy theirs.

au where jinx comes out as transmasc/nonbinary while vi is in jail, but vi becomes a transmasc he/him lesbian during that same time period. so when they meet up for the first time after all those years they're like

IT IS FUCKING AMAZING

you're so real for that!!!

the cait and glinda parallels…

cinematic parallels....save me cinematic parallels.

the tender cheek touching...vi does it with both jinx/powder and cait.

the hugs...one is a "hello" and another a "goodbye"

also...the fact that jinx and caitlyn are so different yet so so similar.

vi...why do you want kisses from a girl who resembles your sister?

Public service announcement! Vi WANTS YOU

to bind safe. I stg we do not need another generation of bb trans folks messing themselves up because a character looks cool binding with bandages.

you are not immune to being an asshole just because you're marginalized by the way.
