not friends not lovers... erm what are we
⇴ person a's arms are wrapped around person b's shoulders while person b is scrolling on their phone. person c is looking at them incredulously.
⇴ dating rumors but they don't deny them
⇴ "so you wouldn't mind if i got with person c, right?" "no, i would mind." "...why?" (silence)
⇴ feeling truly happy with specifically the other person. they bring out something so personal and guarded by being around them.
⇴ nobody makes person b laugh harder than person a. even when person a isn't trying to be funny, person b is so giggly around a that all their friends look at b as if they're crazy.
⇴ "person a? what? no, we're just friends." "but you wish there was more, don't you?" "oh you have no idea."
⇴ person a's future isn't right if person b isn't right next to them. bonus points if it's something especially insane like person a and b live together and have a family.
⇴ person a + b are sitting in a car together late at night just talking, and then person b's eyes are hyper-focused on person a's lips and person a is about to short-circuit.
⇴ "and so... um–so i was saying..." "keep going." (person b says while staring at person a's lips)
⇴ "why are you here? i thought you'd want to be out with your friends right now." "yeah, well i wanted to be with you more. you're one of my friends too, anyway." (person a and b both die inside after this)
⇴ "well obviously i'm never gonna tell them! they matter so much to me, romantic interest or not. how could i ever live with myself if i messed up all of that?"
⇴ "i know what's real, and i know what's fool's gold. is there anything genuine between us or not?"
⇴ person a mentions something offhandedly, but person b remembers it forever (bonus points of b gets it/does it for a)
⇴ "sometimes, i wonder if you're real. it's like you're made for me." person a hesitates after saying that to person b, "you're my best friend."
⇴ person b can't take it anymore and grabs person a's face, hinging themselves onto person a's lips because they've (person b) wanted this for so long.
“i thought we liked each other you kept giving me these signals”
the signals in question:
When I started this run, I was just considering doing an ‘evil’ run, not many plans besides wanting a bloodthirsty leader and wanting to focus on negative traits and antagonizing on patrols. I don’t ever post my clangen stuff rlly but this save has been so fun (INSANE?? I DIDNT REALIZE A LOT UNTIL I STARTED TYPING THIS??) that I have to,
and so, We start with Scornstar, who is bloodthirsty trans she-cat with natural intuition.
and their mate Bluedawn, Who is a grumpy she-cat and a fast runner
the other warriors aren’t super important for what I’m talking about but I’ll post about them if anyone is interested, but i do have to say that I was trying to prioritize negative traits but some of the clan had traits I didnt want like righteous and loving, so like 3 moons in I send them a patrol together and get the storm event and they both drown. and over time, every cat that had a trait I didn’t really want had somehow died, leaving only the leader, deputy, medcat, and a single warrior left. The generator unintentionally did exactly what I was thinking.
okay I didnt think she was important but I guess she is?? 5 moons into the clan, a rogue abandoned their 1 moon old kit to the clan and has been living with the clan since, The kits name is Cloudkit, was later mentored by Scornstar and was later named Cloudfur at 13 moons.
anyway, at moon 13, Bluedawn and Scornstar have a litter of two kits, Beetlekit, a tom and Sandkit, a she-cat.
I don’t remember their original traits as kits but Beetlekit has always had a connection to starclan, and Sandkit was always kind.
Beetlekit gets renamed to Beetlepaw and is apprenticed to Scornstar
Sandkit gets renamed to Beetlepaw and is apprenticed to warrior Cloudfur, who is ambitious.
Scornstar influenced Beetlepaw to be more likely to heed their inner compass, use teeth and claws over words, think things through and be cold towards others. They graduated to a warrior at 12 moons old, given the name Beetlecove. Their traits are now Bloodthirsty & strong connection to starclan
Cloudfur had tried to turn Sandpaw towards being colder and more aggressive but instead just influenced Sandspeckle to refrain from socializing with their clanmates, and learn how to bend the rules and think things through. Because of their refusal to antagonize and fight, They were held back a moon. Depite this, their traits are still compassionate a beloved kittsitter & good mediator. At 13 moons they finally graduated and were named Sandspeckle.
- Beetlecove gets caught by two legs and is lost
- Bluedawn retires and another cat is named deputy since Beetlecove isn’t there.
-After a few moons, Beetlecove returns and is named deputy, Scornstar deciding to demote the previous one.
- Scornstar lost a life to green cough while Beetlecove was gone and then 3 at moon 57 and the rest at moon 62, meaning Beetlecove takes their place and is named Beetlestar.
At moon 71, Cloudfur announces they’re having kits even though she doesn’t have a mate, and two moons later dies giving birth to Sandfreckles kits. (I had no clue they were so close and completely forgot that Cloudur was Sandfreckles mentor, I didn’t even realize I had that setting on) Theres two kits in the litter, Stormkit and Cloudkit, both toms and both named after Cloudfur.
When apprenticed, Stormpaw was originally apprenticed to Sandspeckle, who mananged to influence them to make more impulsive decisions and become better at resolving arguments before Beetlestar decided to mentor Stormpaw themself in hopes of also making him bloodthirsty and influenced them to make their own decisions. Shickingly, Stormpaw finishes their training at 10 moons old, name Stormheart and honored for their ferocity.
Cloudkit was named Cloudpaw and apprenticed to their uncle, Emberstipe, whos the lonesome but incredibly clever younger kit of Bluedawn and Scornstar (They had 3 litters together.) Cloudpaw is shameless and constantly climbing but is still in training, with how it’s going, it might seem as if Cloudpaw might graduate late.
had to doodle @spoopyarcade ‘s ddlc furry designs :3 theyre so CUTE
so i guess scorchstar just. fucking murdered sunwish??? which is wild. a lot of cats vaguely disliked sunwish so i suppose she was a bit of a dick, but scorchstar just fucking Despised her from the start, and it was mutual. didn't think it would end in murder tho!
