💔 Which cats have the most complicated relationship with each other?/make you go feral?

As of where the comic is currently at, Segaspeckle and Coldcrash.

I like to think he initially saw Coldcrash as some sort of obsessive flower collector, due to all the complaining he does in the game about her. Plus his general unwillingness to practice something like fighting (there were quite a few events where "no one stepped up" involved him) makes me think he was definitely a laid-back kind of loner before he joined TidalClan.

Additionally, Tidefur and Larchmask. Tidefur has more of a dislike to Larchmask, but still has a bit of respect and comfort for her. But Larchmask despises Tidefur. Especially where I'm at in-game (Moon 50, send help). I'm nervous to find Tidefur possibly dead the next time I click Timeskip.

We need a mediator I swear.

✏️Who’s your favorite character to draw/write?

Ooo that's a bit of a toughie

In terms of writing at least, I'm so attached to my main three, but I'm gonna have to say Coldcrash is first with Shadestar and Lightchaser close behind. Coldcrash started as this wide-eyed, excited kit going on an adventure with two apprentices to becoming a medicine cat who is especially connected to StarClan and feels weighed by what she knows. She still feels unsure about how best to go about it, with only being able to ask the other medicine cats every half-moon. She's still very much growing into her own, and I'm enjoying watching that happen

As for drawing, I have to say Larchmask. she just feels so flowy and fun to draw! Plus her color palette is just chef's kiss.

There's another character i love drawing but they can't be revealed yet shhhhhh

Wonder what would happen if Shade, Light, and Cold saw familiar faces surviving among the other clans at their first Gathering

🤫

What exactly happened to make Shade, Light, and Cold leave their previous clan?

So obviously I didnt answer these questions right away because I knew the comic would answer these questions later on. So sorries for the probably very late reply, but here's the written version since we've not gotten to that point.

Back when Shadestar was a 'paw in BlazeClan, she unexpectedly received a very disturbing dream. She doesn't remember it very well, but there were voices speaking, and the scent of smoke and seasalt. Thinking it might've been from StarClan, Shadepaw approached their medic cat, Duckcry. Duckcry was shocked to hear Shadepaw had such a dream and was immediately brought to Thornstar. In their private meeting, Shadepaw learned that both Duckcry and Thornstar have had the same dream. But while Duckcry urged to heed the warning, Thornstar dismissed it completely. He demanded that neither cats tell anyone about it, even threatening to punish them.

Unable to truly ignore the dream, Shadepaw convinced Lightpaw to follow her. As they snuck out of camp, the only kit born in the season, Coldkit, had followed them out. Shadepaw wasn't able to convince her to go back, and decided to lead the two cats out of BlazeClan territory, towards the sea.

She had always planned to return if she was wrong about the dream. But when she received her nine lives and heard the voices again, she had a feeling that this new arrangement was permanent. And when she saw the dark smoke in the sky, there was no doubt that BlazeClan was destroyed.

She still doesn't know why she received the dream, or why Thornstar denied a warning from StarClan, but she doesn't believe it was StarClan's will to see BlazeClan destroyed. She firmly believes they were trying to warn them.

are you using expanded or classic for this clan?

I’m using Expanded for some of that good ol ✨flavor✨

Ooc- what was Shadestar's warrior name in-game? :3c

Shadefoot! I imagine if things had turned out differently, she would have been given her suffix for her stealth

did you have to make up the prophecy in moon four, or did it auto-generate?

I made it up myself! I haven' t gotten any auto-generated prophecies. I don't know if that's a Dev ClanGen thing (I'm playing the latest version of the public build). But I am genuinely curious about them. I haven't had one show up so I'm assuming it's a Dev thing.

isn’t it a bit weird that coldpaws only 10 moons old and is having a romance with a 24 moon old warrior? thats like a 15 year old crushing on someone in their 20s. is this only a one sided crush…? i don’t ask this to be rude, im just genuinely concerned

at that moment in time, it’s purely a first-time, one-sided crush. i was a bit on the fence about it too, but i can say with confidence that it does work itself out. trust me when i say nothing uncomfortable will be happening between coldpaw and larchmask as of now.

in a technical sense, being moons into the future (i’m at moon 20 right now), i can say the situation works out in its own way. thanks to your concern, i will try and make sure that this is reflected in a respectful tone. Writing this I’m kind of thinking about Firepaw’s initial one-sided crush on Spottedleaf…

in a lore sense, i like to think this isn’t just a crush, but also a “oh my gosh, finally someone else to talk to” kind of situation. coldpaw only had shadestar and lightchaser to rely on for moons so a new face is sure to be popular. plus, i am trying to let her “childish” trait show a bit with more exaggerated emotions and expressions.

i can say in confidence though that coldpaw will be alright and learn better as she goes on. thank you for your concern, its these kinds of questions that will help me make a better story with these characters and a better experience for the readers enjoying them ^^

so~ Coldplay u got a crush on the new girl how’s that going for ya?

Denial is a river in Egypt-

Also who wants a petition made to make Coldpaw’s full name to Coldplay?

lightchaser what exactly were you arguing about

what was your original clan like?

i was gonna post this tomorrow but i messed up one of the moons so now i have to switch this with the queue line

what are your guys's favorite prey ??? 🍖

just wait until they discover shellfish/crab meat, it'll be all over for them

Coldpaw, how has learning how to be a medicine cat been? It must be hard without a mentor.

Our first ask! Thank you Anon!

Got a question for the cats of the tides? They'll be happy to answer your questions! If you want to ask the one behind the drawings too, go ahead. I'd love to chat :D

Shadestar might need a moment tho
