this project is super informal so don't mind the format.. this will be dahliapromise's second litter and I'm so excited to be able to host it! the format of this litter will be preclaims and then a proper litter project. keep in mind I will have to get a litter slot during this time. this will be a biological litter which explains a resemblance to dahlia and her family members! the context;; this litter is themed, and the theme is: "thorns and roses". this theme reflects the current hardship dee is going through. this hardship has multiple factors contributing to it like the fact that she never adjusted to shadowclan well due to the fact that she never truly became part of the community. another hardship of her's is the complex situation regarding her relationship since her partner has grown distant. this behavior from her partner makes her feels lonely since she depended on her partner for companionship and to build her self-esteem. due to this, she struggles with her mental health. it is almost as if Dee is her own, worst enemy at this point. this will all lead to her behavior as a parent: she will struggle to be there mentally for her kits. at times, she will see her second litter more as a burden than a blessing. [more on her parenting style soon!] the kits;; [names are subject to change] asterkit~ afab/eldest thistlekit~ afab/middle amarylliskit ~ afab/middle blackthornkit~ amab/youngest afterword- that's it~ feel free to ask for a ping if you're interested in this litter! thanks for reading! credits- @rubberduckiie- for savannahkit's design @northglens for thistlekit's design @mysticitrus for amarylliskit and blackthornkit's designs
