sps

Thank you so much to everyone who participated in this year’s gift exchange! As always, your creations were absolutely wonderful and you never fail to blow me away with your talent and creativity! To find your name in...
Okay, so this post is a little later than what I would’ve wanted, but I’ve had a busy week 😛 I’m also a little tired, so, only one cat pic this time 😛 You’re getting plenty from Cadvent, anyway...
The seventh edition of the Blog Monthly is here – written by Lil, fresh off the printing press Hello, everyone!! The Blog Monthly is back and better than ever! I hope you all love this edition, in my opinion it is one...
Fallowpaw defends Appledusk.
Bristleflight shares their thoughts on their favourite character.
With most of my characters, they guide the story but I have some control over planning it. I understand them and it’s kind of like we’re making an agreement about what will happen.
But Jilly has a mind of her own. I rarely plan out the scenes I write about her and when I do they usually come out very different. I make up most of my good ideas about her on the spot and unexpected twists usually happen. Perhaps that’s what makes her so fun to write about her.
😛
That’s interesting 😛
Neat!
Fleur is amazing!
that sums up me and Calicopaw. and me and bluntpaw.at one time h spoke upfor something and it surprised even me!
A few of my OCs have individual secret pages. I decided to post the links in case anyone wants to check them out. 🙂

i think u made a comment once with little things with fire and jilly in them. i think they were like comic-ish things.
Yes, I did! I love making comics about them! 😀
yes,i remember that

I’ve got so many OCs and it’s so difficult to develop them consistently hhh
For example, Honeyblaze. She spent her entire life believing she was in the right for killing off the cats that she did, including her own father and her one-moon-old daughter; thought she was strengthening her son by trying to manipulate him into being like her. Then, after she gets rejected by her son during a battle and he leaves her to join ThunderClan after slashing out one of her eyes, she goes nuts. She finds a new mate named Tigerstorm, and they foster a kit named Rosekit, but she’s weak and dies. Tigerstorm uses Honeyblaze’s grief to manipulate her further into killing more cats. They have kits of their own- Viperkit, Flashkit, and Sweetkit- but Honeyblaze is still mad with grief and barely spends any time with them. She tries to open up to Tigerstorm about how her first son’s betrayal is constantly tearing her apart, but he just tells her that he doesn’t care and that she needs to get over it. That’s her complete breaking point. She goes to ThunderClan to kill Lizardheart (her son), but she is discovered at the last second by Frogstar, the TunderClan leader, who cares about Lizardheart as if he’s her son. She kills Honeyblaze, and Honeyblaze goes to the Dark Forest, where she is violent and insane for moons on end.
That’s where the consistency ends. I have her in different circumstances after that, all of which I love.
There’s Honeyblaze’s redemption arc, which I’m still developing through a roleplay I’m in. Two StarClan kits are kidnapped by the Dark Forest, and Honeyblaze becomes very attached to them, showing a softer and yet still incredibly emotionally unstable side of herself. She earns the trust of a few of her Dark Forest Clanmates and the hatred of many others. During the battle between the Dark Forest and StarClan, she gives up the kits after her friend convinces her to, and she is brought face-to-face with the daughter that she killed- Featherkit. At first, Featherkit is furious, but when she sees that her mother has changed, she forgives her. Honeyblaze is relieved and feels that a huge weight has been lifted. When her father, Flashwing, sees her, however, all he can think of is how he was killed by his own daughter. They fight, Honeyblaze barely fighting back, and Flashwing lands a bite on her throat. She almost dies. Three other Dark Forest cats sneak into StarClan again to get herbs for her wounds, and they’re attacked by the StarClan cats again. They get out and Honeyblaze is saved, but she feels horribly guilty for putting them in danger and feels worthless. Around this time, Tigerstorm joins the Dark Forest and begins trying to manipulate his former mate yet again, and she’s horrified. She feels worthless and completely insane. This storyline isn’t completely developed yet.
Then, there’s Honeyblaze’s revenge arc, which involves Honeyblaze returning to the Clans to try and kill Lizardstar. (this one I’m not gonna go into completely because I’m running a roleplay that follows this storyline and I don’t wanna spoil anything.)
I have a hard time keeping her personality consistent and I keep wanting to veer off into a different story arc. Honeyblaze is by far my most developed and absolutely my favorite OC, but I’m struggling to decide on her canon. I even have an AU on her, where she and her son’s roles are reversed. Instead of her name being Honeyblaze, her name is Honeybreeze, and she only wants the best for her kits. Her son, on the other hand, earns the name of Lizardstrike, and he’s the antagonist of the story instead of her. My brain hurts aaaaaaaa
very interesting story! C:
Some things that might help keep her consistent include writing down the traits you think she should always have (determined, antagonistic, aggressive, etc.), and when you’re thinking “would honeyblaze do this or that”, you look back at the traits!
Another thing would be to try to write an EPILOGUE! so it would be a short little narration from Honeyblaze at the end of her life, reflecting on what had happened and how she feels about different events, characters, and her life in general. That way, you have an idea of where she’s going in life and can streamline your story that way so you know exactly how it should line up! ;D
Just gotta say, I love Honeyblaze 😛 It’s super interesting to see her and her story line developing in different situations, and you’re really good at making her emotions come through in your writing!
I’m afraid I don’t really have any advice, but Viper’s stuff all sounds like good ideas to me!
Hazelnose is sort of a similar thing, he’s based off of a character in my story, named Flynn. He’s also got a twin clone named Quinn who was part of the last test role play, which Maple used to run. Flynn and Quinn have more similar backstories than Hazelnose, both of them feel like its their fault that their loved ones died, Hazelnose is a spin on a plot line that I tossed about for Flynn at one point.
jasgjhdgsaj ok but the df cats sneaking into starclan for herbs is so sweet C:
Random question but: How good are your OCs at dancing?
The majority of one group of mine are actually really good, and it’s about half and half for the other group, but literally all of my OCs are the type to just flail their arms around like chicken wings when they’re around friends.
Sage-Sage does not dance 😛 she considers it public humiliation and will avoid it at all costs. However, I suspect if she was somehow forced to dance, she would be really bad at it, because she never practices and she’d also probably just pretend to fall over and fake an injury to get out of it.
Basil-Basil loves to dance, but isn’t particularly good at it. This doesn’t stop she from having a good time though, and she will gladly ignore anyone (Sage) who judges her. Is the type of person who will just randomly start dancing when a song she likes comes on the radio. Getting Sage to dance is on her bucket list.
Simon-I would imagine that Simon would actually be a pretty good dancer, but he doesn’t do it often because he’s too busy and also kind of self conscious about that type of thing. However, whenever his school has dances Ferris makes him dance with him.
Ferris-Ferris probably learned a bunch of ball room dancing in addition to traditional Ventine dances back at his home kingdom, and after having 102 years to practice, he’s probably really good at those. I also wouldn’t put it past him to learn a bunch of other dance styles just to bother Simon, but he probably doesn’t just spring into dance like Basil does.
Ravenfrost doesn´t dance, she fights. She´s the best fighter in PantherClan, her default Clan (I sometimes use roleplay Clans). Mistkit is generally too smart to dance. Pigeonflight likes dancing but isn´t very good at it. Boulderheart doesn´t know what dancing is. They don´t dance in PantherClan.
Honeyblaze doesn’t understand dancing. Fun? What’s that? No. Well, she’ll try it. Just this once. Okay, maybe it isn’t so bad…
Lizardheart is embarrassed to dance. Especially with Drizzlecloud. He’s too awkward and gangly and shy.
Drizzlecloud loves to dance! She’s definitely not the best at it, but it’s fun, and it takes her mind off of things.
Leopardpounce tiredly shuffles his paws. He got into the medicine cat’s catmint store again.
Tigerstorm is a very graceful and charming dancer, but he doesn’t “dance.” He calls it “murder with fancy movements.”
Mr. Tibbles dances like a pro. Linda begs him to stop, please, dear, you’re gonna run into that tree- oh. That’s gonna leave a mark.
The more I learn about this Mr. Tibbles fellow, the more majestic he seems!
my OCs don’t dance and have never even thought about dancing…
fffffff *update*
dancing isn’t really a huge thing in the omniverse, because most of the time when they dance they just swish their tail and hips, shuffle their paws, and twirl their ears, except since the central focus is more focused on more important stuff, such as getting food and defending territory, they don’t dance and often don’t think about it at all.
[spoiler title=”dfgfdggds”] Swifty does not dance. She speeds on the SunRing (A Qimmot thing) 100 times in 100 seconds and screeches at the same time. However, Flamey still enjoys labeling this as dancing for the sake of labeling it as dancing.
Flamey is pretty majestic, and is probably one of the best dancers in the group of OCs. Being the leader of Qimmo, she doesn’t dance as often, but when she does dance, she’s committing arson simultaneously.
Leafrea is also pretty majestic, ze’s almost as good as her sister. Usually when none of the other Pelidian leaders mind they try to find as many opportunities to sing and dance as possible. Speaking of which, se’s also pretty good at singing as well.
Moon is pretty good at dancing as well but will not do it in public.
Red does not dance, because it’s dangerous to dance in Shangskit (where she lives), because if you slip you might just die. Even outside of Shangskit she thinks its too silly to dance.
I can say that Tiny does dance, does so majestically (not as majestic as Flamey and Leafrea, but still majestic), but she calls it “Dodging Tempestan Military”.
King Storm I is too busy trying to annihilate anyone who trespasses on Tempestan territory to dance, same can be said for the rest of the Royal Family
Princess Spitfire does not dance. She thinks it’s too girly and stupid. Also, it’s dangerous to dance in Vissel as well.
Frosteda doesn’t really dance in public, but she’s really good at dancing in the water and on the ice (usually in private unless she’s accompanied by a party). Usually, she resorts to fancy moves to catch fish and as a comfort method
Irike will deny dancing and say it’s too girly, but then when left alone with Frosteda he will try to dance in front of her and create somewhat impressive auroras, but no matter how much auroras he creates and how much he dances Frosteda is still a lesbian and will not be attracted to him
Spotta does not dance because every time her brother (Irike) tries to dance it looks stupid.
Ring is really good at dancing, probably even better than Flamey and Leafrea. She’s probably the best dancer out of the main group until I say otherwise 😛 and if her weird ringy floaty things are canon then that just adds to the grace
Lase does not dance, she shoots lasers (or, at least she tries to. she doesn’t have laser eyes, contrary to her name)
Snowy Feather is really good at water-dancing, but not reaalllyy great at land-dancing
Fang does not dance and would like to shoot lasers as well instead.
Gray sometimes dances, and she’s okay at it, but not great.
Icy thinks dancing is very undignified, despite the fact she literally idolizes Ring, who dances. And Icy doesn’t actually mind this. Because it’s Ring that’s dancing.
Goldena does dance sometimes, and he has as much skill as Leafrea.
Furze tries to copy Goldena’s movements but ultimately fails.
Lisha does not dance because he thinks it’s stupid.
Ashie does not understand dancing and everytime she tries to dance it just ends up with her shuffling her paws.
Blue is really bad at dancing but still does it anyway.
Slippy does not dance because just doesn’t, and Shattera does not dance because she thinks its stupid.
Wavey will dance if he has the chance to, but Umbra will not dance because they think it’s stupid and unnessecary.
Silver and Darky do not dance either, because I haven’t given them any personality yet.
Ocean is good at dancing, but only in the water.
Tide is also good at dancing, minus the fact that he gets all the moves backwards.
For Shivera: “I don’t dance, ONLY SCREAM.”
However, contradicting the above quote, Shivera and Spotty are locked in some kind of dance battle where they basically dance in front of each other in an attempt to assume authority.
Potato does dance, and will do it in front of Shivera to annoy him. I mean, her name is literally “Dancing Potato”.
Bloody Pelt probably doesn’t have time to dance as xe’s too busy trying to organize the inevitably falling apart Tenelxoria.
Shimera thinks dancing is too girly. [/spoiler]
My OCs are dogs. And cats. Who have to fight in a space war constantly. I highly doubt they can dance. 😛
do you i think i rambled about my OCs for enough time to notice similarities between mine and yours? :>
My new OC Stacie:
https://i.imgur.com/GBPXsMR.png
I love her- she’s one of my favorite ocs!
Personality: Stacie is responsible and extremely smart. She likes science and math, and takes schoolwork very seriously. When she grows up, she wants to be either a scientist or a teacher. In Fireblaze’s group of friends, Stacie is the chicken making most of the plans, as well as taking notes. Stacie doesn’t show affection very much, but she is a kind and caring friend and often helps others by giving advice.
Nice!
What are some songs that remind you of your characters?
Here are some of mine:
Honeyblaze – Organs by Of Monsters and Men (this is also her voice claim ironically)
Lizardheart – Make the Grade by Jack Conte
Tigerstorm – Choke by IDKHBTFM
Ooh, good question! 😀 I have quite a bunch for mine.
Here are some:
Fireblaze-
Sophia-
Sandy and Dusty-
Rain-
Cinder-
River-
Petal-
Zesta-
Mabel-
Mean is one of my ultimate favorite Taylor Swift songs 💖
Lupin is awesome!
Same! 😀
I actually discovered it pretty recently. 😛
🙂
Ooh, that’s cool!
Squirrelflight lover
I’ve tried to do this before and I’m just not very good at it 😛 I listened to your character’s songs and they fit wonderfully but I can’t match my own to any I can think of.
The only song that really makes me think of F.A.N.G is Memories by Maroon 5, specifically the scene directly after F.A.N.G. looses the battle of the Dux Academy, and basically everyone from the prequel gang is dead except Ferris, Piper, and Ava 😛 (technically, Flynn doesn’t die but he does get locked ‘for his own protection’ for the next 15 years)
I love Memories so much!! It’s one of my favorite songs!
Hmmmmm….
Could Never Be by Blixemi- Willowbranch and Wishspring when they weren’t mates yet but had HUGE crushes on each other.
Love Is An Open Door from Frozen- Tigerstripe and Flamefur/star when they were still a secret loveboat.
Better Than Revenge by Taylor Swift- Riverstorm when he wants revenge, which is all the time.
I’ll Be Complete by Blixemi- Silverpaw/storm when she feels like she doesn’t belong in ThunderClan, and wants to be a kitty pet.
Mother Said by Blixemi- Silverkit/storm and Flamekit/fur/star doing literally anything as kittens.
Lost In The Woods from Frozen 2- Tigerstripe when he’s debating if he should leave ShadowClan to be with Flamefur/star.
Lupin is awesome!
dfghghjkhgf i’m way to lazy to list them all but Rasputin reminds me of the Tempestan civil war and Paper Planes reminds me of Tide Frost
Orchidlight – A Thousand Years by…. ehhhhh idk 😛
Nyx and Foliis – Two Birds by idk
i have some OCs.
THE FORGOTTEN LONER
Calicopaw/calicoblaze-
she is friendly but can have a short temper.is a great hunter but will be a bad mentor. The last of her siblings to fall in love.
Swiftpaw/Swifttree-
A clever, intelligent tom who is Calicoblaze’s brother and Calicoblaze’s best friends mate, father of some (unamed) kits.
Bouncepaw/heart-
Calicoblaze’s other brother
Bluntpaw/Bluntthorn- his life changed forever when he finds out his mentor and clan leader is his father and a ex kittypet halfloner half-rogue is his mom and his believed sister is his cousin.
THE REBELS
Minttail-leader of the rebels. Mates with Rosewhisker
Rosewhisker-Mate of Minttail, Mother of (Unnamed ) kits
Titpaw-strong rebel supporter, best friend, apprentice of Minttail and may or may not love him.
P.S
Swiftree and Softblaze are mates, so should Calicoblaze and Stormclaw become mates, but Swiftree is Calicoblaze’s brother and Stormclaw is Softblaze’s sister, so calico’s mate is her brother’s mate’s brother?
it could happen like this:
Calico feels alone because her brother is mates with her very best friend, her mentor and friend is gone to another clan,she has lost connection to her other good friend from another clan and her other brother is in love with her other good friend, her parents have always been distant and her half-siblings are busy training apprentices. Stormclaw’s only sister is in the nursery and his mother is deputy and father is a senior warrior, so both feeling alone, Stormclaw and Calicoblaze spend time with each other.
So, I have this OC, Wishfeather. Currently in The Place Of No Stars. She killed cats, for the Warrior Code. But some of them did nothing. So, she was guided by her EVIL uncle, Wishwatcher. She thought Icykit, her sister, killed her best friends. No, they fell off a cliff, but she thought she saw Icykit kill Wingkit and Featherkit. This happened oh so many times. She was not evil, but was put in The Dark Forest. She always begs and now Wishwatcher is coming to destroy her spirit.
SHOULD SHE GO IN STARCLAN?
Wishfeather should probably go into StarClan purgatory for a moment to recover from the manipulation and if she doesn’t heal then she should go to the DF.
I have a bit of a problem.
I have no idea what Willowbranch sounds like! I need a voice for her, because I just need one, but nothing seems to work!
Squirrelflight lover
oh no
thinking about it i can’t think of one either
sfdghjgkhlj
Maybe think about some people you know in real life, or listen to songs that fit her for some ideas. 🙂
I hate it when that happens! Some character’s voices have been easy to find out, mainly characters based on real people (General Yuri, Craig, and Embre have all been easy to know what they sound like), but with others it’s torture 😛
My new OC Taylor!
https://i.imgur.com/yoPgNKf.jpg
(Picture not mine)
Taylor is energetic, determined, often sarcastic, smart, and a good friend. Her and Fireblaze are good friends and enjoy chatting together.
I love her! She’s really fun to write about and I’d love having her as a friend as well.
Here’s a link to the first story I wrote about her: https://blogclan.katecary.co.uk/warriors-fan-fiction/comment-page-529/#comment-1050292
I’m planning to write a lot more soon.
i got some names weird.
BLAZEstorm
Stormclaw
SoftBLAZE
CalicoBLAZE
and… they are all related thro mating.
softblaze is softflame now
I now imagine my OC Willowbranch sounding like Leafpool in the Blixemi song Could Never Be!
MothPool Shipper
Nice! That’s what I imagine Sandy and Dusty sounding! 😀
Cool! 🙂
