So good that those who is close knew something wasn’t right in the broken code. So yea he thought over about new cats. And darktail problems just ended when the sisters came around.

There's at least one half-clan relationship in like, every arc (i personally don't know fully, I've only /read/ up through power of three lmao) and it's just so old at this point.

The thing that always annoyed me in the books was how the clans would go into other clans territory when they were starving or lacking certain resources as a "last resort" as if the territories were the only places they could go and traveling into unclaimed land just past the border was more dangerous than potentially starting a war.

[@altos5069]

YES!! I never understood why they didn't just go outside the Clans' borders. I get that the Twolegplace is supposed to be right outside of Shadowclan, but all of the other clans are surrounded by rolling hills! Hell, all of the Clans could just send their hunters to the area north of Thunderclan where the Sisters hunted. Not all of that area was claimed by SkyClan, and they explicitly described it as excellent hunting grounds that nobody had bothered to even look at before.

+Hazel Priestley-King - Exactly! That's something Wings Of Fire does exceptionally well, where every single tribe is its own unique entity with different environments, personalities, buildings, social behaviours, traditions and so on. That's the problem with Warrior Cats. The books are so insistent that the Clans are too different to join together and that's fine but... they are *not* different. They're all virtually identical and the only real reason they wouldn't join up is simply out of just... not wanting to. I am totally fine with the idea of the Clans staying separated, but these books need to justify *why* they work better as separate communities. Because as it stands, they should really just function more like towns or factions that are more loose on where their residents choose to live, instead of these individual communities.

This structure could just make so many more plots like: - the life of a messenger - greencough plot but better cuz the whole clan must quarantine itself causing the other clans to struggle without the help provided by them. The clan also struggling with being isolated from the rest of society. During this quarantine it could well separate friendships relationships and families - when there is a fight, it’ll actually matter as it’s not in the norm and more cats will be involved. Also fight might be about something with more substance than “that was my lunch!”. Give is the family drama Erins - when someone (we’ll say Cat A) leaves a clan then on those missions to fix beaver dams or something, where cats from different come together for a mission, Cat A may reunite with an old clan mate who hasn’t forgiven them - “my mate is an emergency rescue cat so I rarely get to see them and I miss them a lot” plot - show off unique cultures and diversity between the main cast like “I’ve just come from windclan to thunderclan and woah everything is very different” and “I’m mean apprentice and I think our exchange clan mate is really weird” That’s all I’ve got for now I should write fanfiction

[@JackdawMori9510]

When reading TallStar’s Revenge I loved the fact that certain cats were tunnelers and that there was actual danger and purpose behind it but also conflict as the WindClan moor runners thought the tunneling job was unnecessary and just dangerous. When HeatherStar band tunneling after the death of one too many warriors because they were collapsing, I thought it was uncalled for. It took away a very Interesting part of the clan and could have given WindClan something else to be remembered by then just fast. It could also give an interesting perspective when all the clans moved to the lake. The tunnelers would have to start from scratch and I’d like to see how they go about it, comparing the difference in soil and how harder or easier it made it. While digging they could come across a new threat like a family of foxes or a badger that the other clans would have to help them fight. However this would give away the fact that WindClan had these tunnels and a war type thing would happen because of it as it have them an advantage during leafbare and during battles. I would also love to have explored how the tunnels do in fact help with battles. Since in Tallstar’s Revenge the tunnelers thought themselves better then moor runners, I would have loved to see conflict between that more. As well as the tunnelers making tunnels in the other clans without the leader’s knowledge creating conflict there by an apprentice finding out and not agreeing with it and having a struggle within themselves on if they should tell the leader or not. And it can make for some different Windclan villain content. I love WindClan and I feel like if they kept the tunneling system it would make for some really interesting stuff.

I hope you see this moonkitti. I think there should be another role: researcher(name is not permanent). They explore and well, research.

They would track the migration of prey and track the weather. Like mediators, there would be a certain amount for each clan(2 in order to keep the knowledge flowing smoothly). They would identify new animals and plants, and maybe even research twolegs. They would share their knowledge with the other researchers too. The knowledge they collect would stay pretty clandestine, in order to keep non researchers from getting knowledge that may use it to cause harm(like a cat using a newly discovered plant to poison and kill a cat before anyone else knows of this plant, making it a clean and untraceable murder).

I personally like that! Especially the researcher and storm tracker thing. They're able to tell apart different bird species, so why not research their prey to learn their habits and behaviour? In the books, prey just comes and is found whenever, but in real life they have patterns and such. Found in specific zones, etc. As for the medicinal stuff and other things, it seems a bit too advanced. I feel like if that happened, that would be an overwhelming amount of knowledge to just know and be expected to keep and pass down to the next generation. Maybe if they were able to track/put it all down on something, it would be possible somehow, but they can't write or anything, so the basics is what they stay with.

It would be a vital role and keep some cats from making the most horrid mistake of their lives (since Bluestar did feel like that was a horrid mistake at one point. She loved her kits... but having help so she could further her ambitions like a tom still would have been able to even with kits... that whole not being able to lead while having kits is bs to me negl)... just imagine the AU that could spawn in certain cases... more eyes on a kit could keep some kits from sneaking out of camp or more easily getting kitnapped...

[@Corinnander]

Something I tried to change when I designed my fanclan, Fallowmoor, was just this. The Fallowcats are in a clan because the environment they’re in makes living in most other ways very difficult. Rogues usually have to live in cities or villages nearby and not in the wilderness, most other cat groups die off because they don’t have the rules in place to manage themselves long term. Fallowmoor is in a constant state of low prey, and they decided to make their rules strict to stay alive. They’ve got a rank called Warlord because they need someone to manage ONLY hunting and combat, and because most cats they meet are aggressive due to the harsh conditions. And while they’ll generally accept outside cats into the clan, that very much depends on their food stores and the predator/prey ratio. Recently, they just discovered a clan owned by my friend about a day’s journey away called RavenClan. Fallowmoor is extremely defensive about RavenClan at the moment, because until they prove they truly are an ally and will help them, they don’t want to give up what little they have. So any mixing in terms of friendships or romances at the moment is a huge no, because that could lead to traitorous behavior if RavenClan proves to be an enemy of Fallowmoor. Chances are, once the two gain an ally-loyalty to each other, many of those temporary rules will go away. Fallowmoor will protect RavenClan just as they’d protect themselves. Cats will probably move clans, I wouldn’t be surprised if we have a situation where one group has more medicine cats/high disciples than the other and they send the other group one. And I’d argue I’m writing Fallowmoor stricter than the Warriors Clans, but their rules have to be in their best interest and not be made in pride or they’ll die within months of their creation.

Can the cats have more culture? Like holidays, sports, urban legends & cryptids, and hobbies that don't include hurting things? Dustpelt's den building makes him so much more interesting. "But what hobbies would Wildcats have?" You ask, well I think collecting stuff could make sence. I thought of a character who collects smooth rocks by the river instead of doing work because they're an oddball, you could have a feather collector. Heck why not have cat art? It would be stuff like putting pretty feathers on a wall in camp but it would add to their feeling of culture. Why don't these sentient beings have a creative outlet???

[@wildtamer4461]

Maybe they could do wall art caveman-style with berry juice? Like if their camp is in a cave or a crater

[@VenomQuill]

RiverClan's my favorite Clan because, when I read the field guide as a little kid, I read RiverClan cats wove shells and feathers into their nest walls. That's it. That's the reason. So, I think this idea of adding actual culture outside of not telling people things and hunting certain animals and killing cats because they overstepped their boundaries is a good idea. I'm writing a fanfiction, and two apprentices on their off time converted an old training ground into a playground of sorts by de-weeding it, taking out rocks, and cutting out roots so they can play games and do zoomies. Games like throwing rocks (who can throw a rock the farthest), hide and seek, warriors and rogues, tag, or just laying under the stars. ThunderClan live in the thickest parts of the forest, so finding a place to stargaze or properly sunbathe outside of leaf-bare is rare. It takes a lot of the word count, sure, and it breaks up the parts where MC apprentice is hunting and battle training, but we don't get enough times in the canon books where apprentices goof off and play games.

[@jupiterkelthuzad7289]

Yeah. I love this idea; I have this world I made a while ago that's like 'a good couple hundred years into the future'; basically, the cats have physically and culturally very much changed, due to very much not combining. Windclan is tall, lanky and fast. Thunderclan is big, thick-coated and usually brown. SkyClan are agile and light. Riverclan have webbed paws and have streamlined bodies. ShadowClan... I dunno how ShadowClan would change. Maybe slightly webby paws and oily fur like RiverClan, but bigger and more catlike, like ThunderClan. All of the clans have varying cultures and accents; maybe WindClan is southern, ThunderClan could be British, SkyClan Irish, whatever suits your taste.

[@Freakz0id]

Wynter ShadowClan would probably be sleek furred, with wide eyes and they can be very beefy whether they are tall or short. Not to mention how they have a swampy environment they probably have slicker movements or night vision? They are also, moral wise at least can be unorthodox, but not rule breakers when they are “behaved.”

[@jenn1214]

Well, in that case it would happen quickly considering the cats die like flies all the time.

[@faveamestan]

Things I would adore to see in warrior cats (aus perhaps): -More diverse personalities between cats, especially within the clans for warriors, deputies and leaders. almost all cats seem to have either three personalities and whenever a cat becomes leader (with the exeption of Firestar) they lose whatever personality they seem to have. It's boring. I'm personally a fanatic for eccentric leaders, since they rule the clan they can influence so much. Also would make a great way for a French Revolution AU. -More diversity and culture between the clans. They're literally all the same right now. Give me different folktales, stories, legends, celebrations and even traditions. Like different sleep schedules, ways of burial. Or even different ascentions like each clan would have their own unqiue way of warriors assessment or apprenticeship ceremonies. -More magic-ish AUs. And darker AUs as well. Magic is already canon to exist, why not go all out? Some user on tumblr mentioned a great AU that I cannot stop thinking about where whenever a leader loses a life, they also lose whatever value the life given to them was. Like if they lost a life for compassion they would slowly become crueler. It's such a cool AU and I'd love for it to be utilize. -For changes to happen to the clans. Literally no changes happens in the warrior code until recently. The history they have is extremely boring. Give me plots and schemes, give me drama. Write the history not as if you are writing a book but as if you were writing actual history and you were a historian. Fuck stupid clan border conflicts. I want anarchy, war, plots, schemes and etc. Also the clans seem to have no development in advancement whatsoever. Why stop there? Why not have medicine cats invent new herbs or the warriors to invent new training technqiues. -More of a based system with more lore. Abuse of power is extremely easy in the clan system, let's utilize that and make a new plot. And no, I don't mean Brokenstar #2 or something. Also royal systems are so fun to incorporate. A royal court in the clan would be cool or like minister-like roles and chief advisors. The way of leader sucession could change as well. Also the clans aren't democratic really either, so royal aus would be extremely cool. -Following the previous post, bringing more real life element into the clans. Clans are known to invade territory. That's basically colonization. Go all out, add a royal system and darker elements then you can work on that with the plot. The canon books are so boring. I can write better plots than that (maybe I should do a rewrite). If Warrior Cats don't want the cats to be friendly (like in this video) then this is really the only other direction the series can go in.

[@blueskylark9965]

Some ideas I had on how to make clan life more interesting, and more world building. 1. A living code: having cats actively making new laws and changing old ones to accommodate new circumstances, not only that, but it creates more specialized “trades” for these cats, having scholars, diplomats, and politicians. Having some sort of senate would allow for new and different conflicts. In my mind, the senate of cats would meet at the gatherings, and be made up of leaders, medicine cats, deputies, as well as senior warriors and elders. And to change up the structure even more, having set diplomatic cats, who are trained by both leaders and medicine cats, these would be cats who were neither warriors nor medicine cats, but something in the middle. Tree is a good example of what these cats would be, and what their responsibilities are. 2. Cultures. The clans at their core are almost exactly the same, the same political structure, almost the same past times, and so on and so forth. The only clan that seems distinct from the others is SkyClan. Having different cultures would help separate them, and justify that separation. Having different customs from clan to clan would be a lot more interesting. The cats have no holidays, and celebrations, 3. The lack of stories and known history. It boogles my mind that there is almost no mythologies mentioned in the books, no heroes, no art or scholars of any kind, although the cats have no writing system, having poets and cats who specialize in oral traditions could be interesting. 4. Trade routes. Having regular contact with cats outside the clans. They trade would be on information, and herbs, as well as general updates.

[@BittersweetOptimism]

One thing I think could be cool for messengers to potentially do is just rotate between clans. Like, maybe in a circle around the lake with the Windclan messenger going to Riverclan and then to Shadowclan to share certain news, but when something is urgent it’s a quicker rotation between less clans. Say, if Thunderclan needed Windclan’s help for something, messenger 1 would go over to Windclan and tell them about it. Messenger 2 would go back to Thunderclan with the reply so that messenger 1 would get a break or something like that. Then they would go back and forth until the problem was solved. Although, if there’s something even more urgent that needs to be solved immediately it would just be one, maybe two rotations. Just a thought.

"stop visiting arrowtail!!! you are windclan, redfoot!!! arrowtail is THUNDERCLAN!!!!!!!!!!! that BREAKS the WARRIOR CODE!!!!". and just now, in the newest series, some sort of punishment for the protagonists who broke the warrior code and everybody kind of just said "lol ok they're important anyways we cant punish not allowed" is being established. the broken code is starting to make a part of clan culture that has been made up to be so important but also practically ignored by main characters seem actually significant and bringing it back to the light. maybe something similar will happen with clan borders in.......... oh god oh heck....... the........... the next arc.. also i had a similar idea to make new ranks. i'd also thought "well it's obvious that every clan needs a mediator like why only skyclan why does skyclan get to be special what else is special about skyclan oh yeah they can climb trees ok yes is that not special enough for you". but another change i had in mind was dividing the whole "warriors" group into three, to give cats more focus and the option to more specifically do what they want to do. just have hunters and guards, where hunters only really have to focus on hunting and guards only really have to focus on guarding/fighting. the third rank was similar to moon's idea for the messengers, except they're called scouts. a scout would be small and quick, capable of traversing any kind of clan territory to quickly do what they need to do, whether it's sending a message, looking for herbs, scouting for foxes/badgers, and anything else of the sort i couldn't think of more examples. ok this was long and definitely not worth it even to share my ideas yeah ok B YE

I can just imagine the queens combining and stealing the island for themselves and when they had kits they would be like “Soooo kiddo, what clan do ya wanna be in? Riverclan eat fish, Thunderclan sit around in a forest, Shadowclan punch cats in their faces, Skyclan climb trees and windclan *run* “

[@thatmomentwhen345]

I love this idea, like the clans _actually_ caring about each other

[@Smallestpenis]

cARdbOarDFur Draws no! That’s not the point of the fucking series! The clans shouldn’t care about each other, they’re in the way of their survival, numb nuts

All I want for Christmas is Warrior Cats to Change Permanently -Moonkitti 2019

[@scout-ness3870]

This seems like Falconstar development’s game “Cattails” Moonkitti and the rest of VidClan played it while it was in its Alpha phase, but it has had a bunch of new features since then. Annddd this is a lot like the mechanics of the game. I really like these ideas that Moon came up with and I agree with a lot of them except for the three med cats. Since if the cats from the “Cats to END” video is going to be canon in Moon’s thing right here, I think two med cats would be enough Love it tho!

[@Lakefish_HAXX]

Don't forget Firestar (waaaay back as an apprentice, i believe) thought the clans should be united. A backup messenger would be a good idea, and maybe the mediator could train a general warrior apprentice and/or also work as an emergency medicine cat. Can't help but agree on.. basically everything. Someone needs to do a good Clans-United fanfic sometime.

[@legrandliseurtri7495]

I love how it took Firepaw ten minutes to figure out the solution to 99% of their problems.

[@GippyHappy]

I kind of hope they start a new series that takes place way in the future where the cats have restructured society like this

[@stickpawsos2441]

But they would have to introduce cats that are like... GRANDCHILDREN of today's newborn kits. Good idea tho...

[@GippyHappy]

@@stickpawsos2441 so what? If its far enough in the future it doesn't matter. They're not gonna recite their entire family tree.

[@stickpawsos2441]

@@GippyHappy that's not quite what I mean, obviously you wouldn't really know who their relative ancestors would be unless StarClan dreams or clear mentions. What I mean is, it would be The prophecies begin all over again, a whole new cast of characters other than ones that were already in StarClan.

[@GippyHappy]

@@stickpawsos2441 yeah that's what I want. They don't make proper use of them and all the good ones have died or been relegated to background characters anyway. Might as well start fresh.

[@Chlamyphorusfan]

As someone who has been recently introduced to these books, I can say I had a high expectations for these, mainly because I was already familiar with Tui (I was really into WoF) and I was severely disappointed. All the clans felt horrifically bland, I especially felt like WindClan was absolutely wasted potential. As the most “Religious” group, it would be cool to see their beliefs in StarClan spiral into somewhat madness, like making sacrifices. That would make an interesting arc. Or RiverClan, what if they lived in the river, and built dens sprouting up from it, and could hold their breath longer than other cats? These are the kinds of things I want to see in Warriors.

[@TrinketTheDragonsHoarde]

Unfortunately, I do not believe Tui writes for the Warriors series but one of its spinoffs... it was either Seekers or Survivors. But if they were hemmed in by the story team and editors, I'm not sure that it would have been any better than it is now. It seems like when there is less cooks in the kitchen with writing the better it may be. Not always, especially with how swiftly they churn out the books...

[@dragonkitties4life]

One thing I’ve never gotten past was when Rusty had just joined and asked why the clans were all separated and (I can’t remember if it was Whitestorm or Lionheart) basically just responded with “You just don’t understand bc you’re a kittypet.” Then later on, once Fire was a ‘real’ warrior cat, he’s just like, “Oh yes, I understand now. This is just how thing are bc we’re warriors and just because.” Then he starts bringing up some other weak, and mostly unrelated points to support this, but it’s still doesn’t seem like a conclusion that a generally open minded character like him would come to. It honestly feels like it was a problem that he would notice but realize it’s too big to fix, and to avoid him constantly being displeased by it, they just wrote him as completely accepting it and threw in a few scattered reasons to try to keep this decision consistent with Fire’s personality. (I really need to learn to stop typing paragraphs in the comments :,))

[@silvb]

I love this idea Specifically, I have an idea for the names of the cats who wander the clans and help where they can: Journeyers

[@frantic9724]

Can I use that in fic?

[@olly_lmao]

In Outcast, the group of rogues being meanie beanies to the Tribe are actually a society...?

[@keyaq8692]

[@pinkbunnygirl43]

LOL just like divergent! Love that idea thou! Your so cool!

[@tuckamorethetree9427]

I just want to see another clan's perspective aside from Thunderclan! They are our main focus and I want to see other clans! Also, inbreeding has to be a problem now, I mean you can't leave a bunch of cats with only each other and not expect inbreeding to happen somewhere down the line. Another idea similar to this would be organizing the land like a province, having different "towns" and maybe even a capital where once a moon (Or less often) they would gather at the capital and have some sort of announcing of things and maybe even like a party!

[@see_r121]

It would be cool if they ditched thunder clan perspective and did something else. I don’t know about anybody else but a series about StarClan would really interest me since they could define what actually happens when they go to StarClan

[@strongclaw4564]

[@YakitoriQueen]

I love your ideas, will definitely use them for when i get around to making my own clans and stuff. Here's some more ideas following Moonkitti's: - There could be some sort of cool new ritual for when one or more cats permanently move out of their clan to go to a new clan. Like some sort of goodbye and then welcome ceremony, complete with blessings from Starclan and all that. - Certain apprentices could be sent to another clan for a while as part of their apprenticeship, like some sort of student exchange program but warrior cats version. They'd learn all about what life is like in the other clan they're sent at, would be assigned a new mentor for the duration of their stay, etc. It is expected of the clan that receives the apprentice that they protect them and treat them as they would one of their own. This could also lead to plot shenanigans if an apprentice comes back injured or traumatized from their stay. - Speaking of plot shenanigans, here's some juicy drama that could STILL happen if Moonkitti's ideas were included: ~ Fighting for land and prey. Even if it's not a regular thing anymore, it only takes one jerk to ruin it for everyone. ~ Maybe if you're on another clan's territory, you're supposed to give a reason, as a security measure (a shitty security measure, but a security measure nonetheless). One day, a patrol is too wary of a certain cat and engage combat. Said cat comes back injured to their clan, and turns out they had no ill intent at all. Shenanigans ensue. That's all for now! I might edit this comment if more ideas come to mind.

[@slugmilk4063]

This would make me love warriors again. And as for the comments that think combining the clans would mean there'd be no plotlines: no. Even just the process of combining the clans would cause so much in itself. Could you imagine... all the conflict that could arise from the stubborn cats who disagree with the change... all the betrayals, backstabbings, hubris... the drama of it all...!
