A New Hope ☀ Discussion Thread ☀ Not Accepting

[C a s]

Just edited this onto my last post so I wasn't double-posting, but here's this in case anyone missed it (since I know edits don't notify):

HappyAlpacas16 has left the roleplay, so the following characters have been removed:
↬ Cinderpelt | 36 moons | ♀ | HappyAlpaca16
↬ Moosekit | 1 moon | ♂ | HappyAlpaca16
↬ Lynxfoot | 48 moons | ♀ | HappyAlpaca16

For the most part, these characters weren't seen much - so we'll be treating them as if they did not exist, though I understand that's a bit frustrating to do. As Lynxfoot was a mentor, she'll need to be replaced. Hazepaw's new mentor will be Cedartail!

@tainted I highkey still turn them on when I'm cooking or doing dishes or something. Most of the songs from them have shaped my music taste. x)

@Cas
Absolutely! I have that expanded range of music genres because of the warriors fandom! I love the art done with them too


Ok on a different topic down here.... Imagine if deertail thought daydream sired the kits because he felt the need to step up and be a father figure to them. I think that'd be the only cat that would anger him about everything

[Cradily]

Welp, I guess Sunflare will just have to pair up Cedar with someone else now.

Bro if DayXFox actually becomes a thing Night will be so devastated lmao. But Fox would have some nerve getting with another tom after Deer finds out she cheated, and especially if she's going to be begging for his forgiveness for a while, I'm not sure if I can see her immediately hooking up with someone else. Then again, if she's in an emotionally vulnerable state from being a single mother whose mate just broke up with her, and Day is the closest cat to her, then who knows. I can definitely see Deer getting super suspicious of Day if he decides to step up as a sort of father figure to them, but I can also see South trying to nip that in the bud. He'll know Day has the kits' best interests at heart, but if he notices them spending a lot of time together he'll probably be like "yo day, dont forget you a med cat and those kits aint yours, we dont want any misunderstandings (i.g. the kits, or anyone really, believing he really is the father) and you needa focus on your med cat duties." xP

Those maps and amvs are the bomb

They really are. I've been watching them since like 2009 and at this point have probably seen all of them, except for like the super obscure/unknown ones. Some of my personal more recent favorites are Ashfur Pigeon AMV (gore warning), The Other Side of Paradise | COMPLETE Whitestorm & Tigerstar PMV MAP [Eyestrain/Flashing], and dizzy ♡ hollyleaf & cinderheart amv. But there are soooo many more that I absolutely love ugh.

Most of the songs from them have shaped my music taste. x)

Same!! Literally so many of my favorite songs/artists I discovered through Warriors vids. I don't listen to the radio or Spotify or anything else really, so if I didn't watch these vids I'd probably never be able to keep up with all the new popular songs lmao.

[CJClaire]

i definitely found a playlist of songs from warrior amvs on spotify and listen to it when i work out lol

alsoOOO
omg the drama... the rumors that would go around if people started thinking that daydream was the father!!!

[C a s]

He probably won't suspect Daydream - since he looks so vastly different from all of the kits, and he probably thinks Daydream is a better medicine cat than that and wouldn't have a forbidden romance. Again though he'll be slightly distrusting with every tom in the Clan lol.
I've thought a lot about Deertail and how he'll feel, and I've p much figured it out. He'll probably be more suspicious of the warriors that resemble the kits: like Swiftbadger, since I think he's the closest in appearance to Southstar. He won't suspect Southstar at first because he'd think his leader would never do something like that to one of his warriors, but will probably grow more suspicious of him as time goes on. There aren't that many toms in EagleClan, so there aren't many that it could have realistically been. He'll be very cold towards Foxcloud, even though he still loves her, and will pretty much avoid her. He won't claim the kits at all so they'll grow up not knowing who their father is, which is sad, but Deertail isn't going to force himself into the heartbreak of being around them knowing they were born from Foxcloud's disloyalty. As they grow and mature, he'll probably respect them more as individuals and fellow Clanmates rather than just the consequences of Foxcloud's mistake and a constant reminder of her infidelity. I'd like him to find a long-lasting love in the future, but after this, I doubt he'll be ready to even consider taking a mate anytime soon.

Sorry for writing a book about it, lmaoooo. I'd just been simmering indecisively on the situation for awhile.

@Cradily
I can so see southstar being like Day boi those ain't yo babehs don't make them think you broke the code to have them. When in all truth he'd probably break the medicine cat laws about not having kits if he were with night rn. But I could kinda see him with fox if night even looked like she were interested in a different tom tbh

@CJ
Nobody:
Everyone: NO KIT LOOKS LIKE DAYDREAM BUT HES THEIR DADDY

Daydream: fox are you gonna tell them or do I need to... this is getting out of paw

[C a s]

That will for sure be interesting. Since Daydream is the only medicine cat atm, I wonder how that would work, code-breaking wise? It would put South in a tough position. Obviously he wouldn't be able to continue being medicine cat and having a mate, but there aren't many other options, lol - unless he perhaps asked Russetswirl to step back in, which would cause a whole other set of problems, since it's pretty clear that he and Acornspots are crushing hard. I don't envy South having to make that call if it comes to it lol.

[Animals65]

Dang its like EagleClan is full of drama doesnt it? Never getting peace! LOL!

[stormythecloud]

Wow guys I go to sleep and woke up to see y’all creating a drama love triangle without me lol

Like I could see fox just being grateful that daydream did step in to give them a father figure but would be like nah he’s not the father. But as Deertail possibly keeps avoiding her after learning about her disloyalty, I could see her leaning on him more and more. And possibly crushing on him? To where she isn’t even sure since she loves Deertail and then her feelings for Day especially since she knows she can’t do anything.

Oh man if Russetswirl did have to step in that’d be quite hard for him and Acornspots for sure. Like that maybe happening once he gets sick and gets over the sickness? And southstar being like “I’m sorry but I need you as a medicine cat again”

[Cradily]

@CJ and Animals, I know, there's so much drama in EagleClan rn lmao. Or at least, there will be. At least Creamflower doesn't have to worry about such things with Sunflare, as he's completely devoted to her and their kits. CJ, do you ever see Robinwind breaking the code to have a mate/kits? I personally don't really, but I just wanted to know your thoughts. x)

@Stormy lol it wasn't planned, it just sort of happened. But I knew you'd join in eventually ;) If Russetswirl did ever have to take over medicine cat again it would only be as a very last resort, so I can't imagine it happening anytime soon. Fox still has to give birth to the kits she has now, and enough time would have to pass for her to be able to become pregnant again and get close enough to Day that they'd both be willing to break the code (which I imagine would take a while), then that's at least another two moons for her to give birth and however long it takes for everyone to figure out the kits are Day's lol. But tbh I'm not sure what South would do if such a thing ever happened, whether he'd have Russet return to his med cat duties or not. If that did happen then hopefully by that point Day would have an apprentice.

@Tainted, I could say the same for Night. Right now she's not interested in any cat but Day, but if he so much as showed interest in another she-cat she would probably be very hurt and distance herself from him a lot. I think as time goes on I want her to start realizing just how close Fox and Day are (whether that closeness is platonic or not) and how Day has been spending more time with her since she moved to the nursery and start to feel more insecure/jealous. Ideally I'd like her to somehow find out that Fox and Day were exchanging secrets that she doesn't even know about, but I'm not sure how that would work. Maybe when it's revealed that the kits aren't Deer's, Night somehow finds out that Day knew before everyone else did, and the more time he spends with Fox and the kits
and the more he tries to be a father figure to them, the more jealous/suspicious Night gets.

@Cas, Yeah, I was thinking if Deer didn't suspect South then Swift would be the next suspect, since he's really the only other gray/gray-brown tabby tom in EagleClan I think. Little wouldn't suspect him for a second though, she'd be like "umm excuse me he would never." I like your plan for how Deer will feel about and react to this whole thing. x) I gotta say, even though I don't ship Night with anyone but Day right now, I could maybe see her trying to hook up with Deer if Day and Fox ended up hooking up, just to spite them. But that of course wouldn't be true love, and I doubt Deer would be in on it. Plus, as I've told you already, there may be another she-cat who has her eyes on Deer coming up...;)
