[fancypost bgcolor=; bordercolor=transparent; color:; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; overflow: auto; width: 500px;][font=times new roman]Besides Caramel and Night, Mothdust was the only remotely tolerable cat. More than tolerable, perhaps; a friend, if there ever was one. Maybe more? But maybe not. He couldn't forget the fateful day when her former -- uh, mate? -- appeared. The female had been robust and masculine, scarcely feminine and somewhat similar to him in appearance but more rounded in personality, whereas Sootstorm was all sharp edges and planes. Sootstorm felt his hackles lower, and calm slipped over him yet again. Something that he hadn't truly gotten to appreciate or feel in the two moons since his daughter kitted, especially when he had pushed himself so hard to stay out of camp at all times; he could barely stand the idea of breathing the same air as his daughter and her mate, Stonejaw, or their kits. It was too hard, and he knew it was stubborn and mindless, but he couldn't help it. He was just so angry.

The skinny tom, his large, long clumps of fur hanging off of him pitifully, would feel the faint beginnings of a smile slide onto his angular, shadowed face. "It seems I have." he dryly remarked, his intentions good even as he dropped the prey in front of the female, meaning to move out and get more comfortable nearby before she addressed him further. He listened with an interested, lifeless twitch of his translucent whiskers. "If you're so cold, why deny my company when I'm merely just a bag of bones and fur? Fur that you could use, no doubt; so yes, I think I will move in here, however uncomfortable and intimate it may be for you." his voice had lost his dry tone and became more playful, especially as he moved forward, pushing his larger body inside of the awkwardly small bush, before abruptly curling himself around her. After all, with his long limbs, he couldn't fit himself anything but around her -- if he did, his legs would stick out from cover! "Besides, I think this will be mutually beneficial. I provide you with decent company and a warm coat, and you make me forget of the chaos inside of that dreadful camp."

they're so fucking cute jfc

[fancypost bgcolor=; bordercolor=transparent; color:; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; overflow: auto; width: 500px;][font=times new roman]In the moons following Thrushstar's kitting, he'd barely had any mind to eat -- just to get out of camp whenever he got to, even if that meant being out for a long time, so long that by the time he got back he was shaking with the cold, where even his strong bones were shaking beneath his long-furred, fluffy pelt. If he had eaten more, perhaps this would be different, and his bones wouldn't be faintly outlined if you looked closely enough under the thickness of his pelt.

Sootstorm was only returning to camp to drop off some fresh kill -- this time, it was only a fat little chipmunk, hiding deep into the recesses of a cavity in the trees, slumbering peacefully. He was proud of it, enough to where he decided to head back into camp immediately just to drop it in the fresh kill pile, hesitant in letting it freeze in his neglectful care. "Mothdust." his voice was somewhat amused as he found the feline staring at something downwards outside of the camp. Their former meeting passed across his mind, and he felt his mood lighten considerably. "What are you doing, standing out here?"

"Yeah, I was just following Mintkit to tell her it was a bad idea."

The small, high pitched voice filtered his ears, which twitched with newfound alarm. So far he'd successfully steered clear of his daughter, Stonejaw, and their kits; every morning instead of joining patrols, he'd wake up his apprentice early and instead start to do training when the sun was still out and about, particularly irritable about wasting time when daylight fled so quickly from the sky. His yellow eyes blinked once, before he moved past the other feline, pausing only briefly to send her a short greeting glance before continuing his tread to camp, even if his pace had picked up considerably since then.

[fancypost bgcolor=; bordercolor=transparent; color:; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; overflow: auto; width: 500px;][font=times new roman]"Trust me, if anyone found us like this they'd leave right away. Probably talk a bit, but, well..." it's not the first time. He refrained from saying this, though, instead shifting closer as well when she made her own move to, resting his head on his paws and looking blankly off into the distance beyond the leaves that sheltered them. The cool ground beneath him kept the tom from warming up too quickly, making a comfortable middle ground instead and pressing the tenseness in his back and shoulders until they were no more. "it's not exactly a bad thing though, is it? I've always found talk to be another fault of SkyClan that I could ache over continuously, thus proving to only worsen my mood further. At least this time I'll have a pretty companion to look at while I do, which, hey, might actually make me happy. Break my grumpy streak for a while."

The last time Sootstorm had been this playful with a female was when he had been with Silverwing. While he'd admit to having genuine feelings for his brief affair with Doemask, they were nothing that made him feel so loose and free when around her, as if he could say anything and not be judged. But here with Mothdust, he felt like a young warrior again, putting on his most striking smile in order to win the praise of a pretty dame that had happened to catch his eye. Fortunately for Mothdust, she was not just an item to him, something to be used to relieve his stress, at least temporarily; she was a living, breathing person, and even if he did come off as selfish and just needing a little intimate companionship in the end, he promised that those were not his intentions.

[fancypost bgcolor=; bordercolor=transparent; color:; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; overflow: auto; width: 500px;][font=times new roman]i'm CRYING

I love you so much aaaah
best waifu ever
like I s2g I cannot possibly explain or show u how happy and blessed I feel right now,, y'all are legit the best and I love you omfg

I. When his eyes caught hers and she began smiling, he could feel his chest tighten, his heart surely swelling -- StarClan threw him a difficult situation, an in that time he had managed to make the most out of it. Because believe it or not, this was the most fun he had ever had in moons, and as stated before, it had pushed all the weight on his shoulders off and replaced it with a warm, fluffy feeling that made his paws tingle and his eyes lose their dull, impassive light. They brightened and sparkled like crystalline stars in a beautiful woven night sky. "I like it, too." the male would speak, his much deeper voice at odds with her sing-song one. Or at least, that's what it sounded like in his bitten, thin ears, that twitched only slightly when brought attention to, but otherwise lay pointed forward on his larger cranium, a sign of how perpetually relaxed he was right now.

Then she was pressing forward, but not in mere tone; her muzzle was pressing against him, and in response, for however brief that share of physical contact was, he showed his affection by giving a slight purr. In those moments, he wistfully wished he still had a tail -- of course, he felt it like a phantom limb, able to move it but feeling its unfortunate loss either way. All that remained was nothing but a furry rump that bore a reminder of his fight with the badgers. In the days since he'd been able to regain his balance, although it had been difficult at first, and resulted in a far easier chance to navigate without the retched thing dragging on twigs and other such things. He remembered it and all its broad, panned out glory, stretching out on both sides with fur and not having the luxury of being short and clipped to the skin that clung to the bones beneath it like his daughter's did.

"Only a word of thanks for befriending me, even after that horrible encounter we had all those moons ago. If I had been aware I'd be stalking the most tolerable cat in SkyClan, perhaps I would've been much more lax on you." he spoke the truth. While he was thankful for this moment right now, it didn't keep him from regretting being at least a little abrupt and open with his distrust of her, especially when she was being so kind to him right now. He remembered the days as an apprentice when the only she-cat that had spared him a glance had been Berrypaw, while the rest pretended as if he didn't exist. "Reminds me of when I was still young and irritable as an apprentice. The only one who'd befriend me was this she-cat called Berrypaw, because of how grumpy and small I was. And when I say small, I mean I still was about the size of a small kit throughout most of my training. After I was a warrior, though, I got bigger. It runs in the family, too, this large-ness; I remember my mom being so worried that I'd be the only small one, while my father just sat back and watched her run around frantic about how I'd turn out because he knew I'd be larger than them both."

[fancypost bgcolor=; bordercolor=transparent; color:; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; overflow: auto; width: 500px;][font=times new roman]honestly it'd make sense?? they'd only be like half-uncles & cousins to them, and it's not like cats don't participate in incest in the books :0

[fancypost bgcolor=; bordercolor=transparent; color:; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; overflow: auto; width: 500px;][font=times new roman]Np! + look at this cute freakin art in my signature that que and lyric got me for my birthday <33 moth and soot look so cute in it oml

[fancypost bgcolor=; bordercolor=transparent; color:; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; overflow: auto; width: 500px;][font=times new roman]i just choked

NEXT HE's GONNA ABSORB THUSH AND STONE
watch tf out

I can just imagine the souls of cats yowling inside of his fur every time a gust of wind blows and someone looks back at him like "um? u doing okay? Tf was that?"
and he's like "nothing"

I bet moth would be like hanging out with a group of moms that gush about their hubbies and they ask her why she chose Sootstorm

Moth: he's my favor hiding place. literally I can just hide under him and nobody can find me because he's so fat. And if I was ever in danger, he'd win because he has big muscles. so if the apocalypse comes... guess who's surviving? not u bitches and ur skinny fucking husbands mothafuckassss

[fancypost bgcolor=; bordercolor=transparent; color:; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; overflow: auto; width: 500px;][font=times new roman]yES
I literally can't tho
like. They are so fucking perfect for each other.
They are literally Thistleclaw and snowfur aaah

#angsty
But what if she went to StarClan and he went to the dark forest and they were never really happy because like?? they're apart. And then *coughs* if they ended up doing the Darkforest attacks the clans plot, she'd come down with StarClan and they'd see each other and be like ... oh my god!! but then Sootstorm dies and mothdust's spirit is weeping so bad that she intentionally just ends her life so they can be together again?? And be reincarnated into other cats (bc that's what happens to cats that die in the afterlife)?

And omg windy
A++
And soot would just be like
what the f u ck

[fancypost bgcolor=; bordercolor=transparent; color:; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; overflow: auto; width: 500px;][font=times new roman];^)

[fancypost bgcolor=; bordercolor=transparent; color:; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; overflow: auto; width: 500px;][font=times new roman]more moth X soot fluff w/ their babies bc soot wouldn't be able to leave her alone in the nursery,,, so this happens w/ their babes. Let's pretend all the queens are like ... super jealous that Sootstorm is this fatherly and dedicated ;^)

[fancypost bgcolor=; bordercolor=transparent; color:; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; overflow: auto; width: 500px;][font=times new roman]it can be anything, really! Just gimme a description & what you want happening (like a certain scene, etc.) all of it is traditional though (and I'm pretty decent? I think lmao) uuuuh very very sketchy example is right below. Note that they will be 100x less sketchy and more decent :^)

[fancypost bgcolor=; bordercolor=transparent; color:; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; overflow: auto; width: 500px;][font=times new roman]"Whoever said you stopped being irritable?"

He snorted, an almost surprised look passing across his momentarily dazed face; he liked to think that he somehow matured over the moons he'd been breathing, but according to Mothdust, he was the same. "My parents were good, surprisingly enough. My mom was this beautiful cat, and she looked just like me, except black-furred and more softly featured, and, well, with less muscle. And fat. She had ice blue eyes, too -- explained how strict her personality was, dear StarClan. And my father looked just like those great big lions, with a big, fluffy mane where his neck should be and colored bright yellow like the sun. From what I can remember, my siblings, before they died, looked more or less like little tigers. Orange fur, darker stripes; we played a lot, before they both died from greencough. Their names were, well, Tigerkit and Amberkit. Tigerkit was a lot more like my mother, all strict and well-mannered, while Amberkit was like my father, laid-back and friendly. I happened to be the perfect mix between them. I got aaall their better features." his mother's strong legs, his father's thicker coat and gigantic size. Yeah, definitely.

He felt himself unwind even quicker, being here, talking to Mothdust, and his tongue grew dry with all of the talking. "I've always thought smaller cats were the best. After all, you guys don't have to hunker down whenever you're in holes, or be quick when you're on tree branches. Plus, you got to admit, you guys are quick." what he said was true, even if he'd refused to acknowledge such a thing when he had been small. "You're right. You're not bulky, and you're not good looking. You're beautiful. I mean, I'm kinda jealous. I may have my own dashing looks, but I'm not that amazing looking."

[fancypost bgcolor=; bordercolor=transparent; color:; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; overflow: auto; width: 500px;][font=times new roman]what will happen when they both leave after soot's exile and move to another clan

[fancypost bgcolor=; bordercolor=transparent; color:; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; overflow: auto; width: 500px;][font=times new roman]speaking of which, I have no idea where they'll go?? I'm thinking somewhere where it'd be easier for Sootstorm to climb the ranks quickly, but idk

[fancypost bgcolor=; bordercolor=transparent; color:; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; overflow: auto; width: 500px;][font=times new roman]@Sheograth- https://feralfront.com/index.php?topic=2412812.0
^^ I got it from there!! Lyric is full rn but if u put ur request in the spoiler they'll get it soon & wont look over it!!

Maybe Soot & Moth could like stay in ThunderClan for a while (maybe Moth gets pregnant again after our current plot and she's in her third trimester right when Soot gets exiled, and the whole clan is freaking and trying to convince her to stay but she's determined to travel with Soot, even if he begs her to stay too just because he doesn't want her to die since they don't have a proper medicine cat?? But eventually they end up on ThunderClan territory and she gives birth to the kits there and they stay for a while before finally heading off to another clan?? idk) I could imagine Adderstar kind of asking soot to stay because of her feelings for him but he's just kind of like?? Making up the excuse that he doesn't like being too close to SkyClan even tho it's really because he doesn't see a chance of climbing up the latter quick

+ I feel like Sootstorm's goals would change after he gets with Moth? He'd like ... put her first before anything, and he'd want to be in charge solely because he wants to provide a stable, safe home for their family and not because he likes it.

Aaaah thank you guys so much! I'm gushing now omfg
Soot is my first adopted pre-made character and I'm glad I was able to add to his personality while making it stable and not corrupt very much. While originally I wanted him to be a Thistleclaw/Tigerstar character, I feel like he's evolving into his own character and that makes me incredibly happy.

Seriously tho
Seafoam & Sootstorm are similar but so different
They're both grumpy grandpas but while Seafoam is innapropriate and actually sociable & funny, Sootstorm lit just hates people and wants to control most everyone until he's in his perfect little world.

[fancypost bgcolor=; bordercolor=transparent; color:; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; overflow: auto; width: 500px;][font=times new roman]i'm screaming bc those songs fit perfectly aaah
