On January 15th, 2024 Howlpaw was signed up. But nine weeks earlier, on November 13 2023 he was welcomed into the world. His early life before thunderclan wasn’t easy. In short, he had a crappy family and wasn’t really social. But that turned around once he was immersed into clan life. And after just a few moons, he couldn’t go back to his old ways. I’d like to start off by thanking everyone who supported both me and Howl, in and out of rp. Even just a small comment on his relationship finder or his reference project, made SUCH a big difference. Down to specific, I’d like to thank: Cosmo and Maleficentstar, Thank you so much for being such an important figure in Howlingfright’s life. Mal’s wisdom made Howlingfright who he is today. And to you personally, thank you so much for being such a cool person <33 I truly thank my lucky stars that Howl was assigned you as a mentor or else I never would’ve had the guts to talk to you. Sapling and Kingfisherflight, Sapling!! 1 year has truly passed me by. I can’t help but admire our humble beginnings in witfrp that now sprouted into a hopefully long term friendship. I always wonder what would’ve happened if Howlfisher existed, but it was probably for the best. A ship that powerful would mean the end of TFC! Nevertheless, I’m so glad we’ve stayed buddies all this time. Kingfisherflight, is such a cool character and Howlingfright would be 10x more depressed than he is now without his bsf <33 Addi and Clovercharm, Howlingfright’s other childhood friend! Though they’ve never really interacted irp, I’ve always considered Clover an important asset in Howlingfright’s life. Through everything , Clovercharm has always been a constant. I’m absolutely overjoyed Garden of the Gods is getting so much attention because you both deserve it. Thank you. Indigo and Umberpaw, Indigo! Though I’m saddened that you’ll never see this, I do understand. Mental health comes first. I’ve always admired your devotion to your characters, and no other person on planet earth would ever be able to understand Umberpaw like you did. One day, I hope you’ll come back. But I’ll always remember you as awesome <33 Leo and Briarwoodmuse, Leo! Welcome back!! Briarwoodmuse is just an outstanding character. You depict her in a way that I don’t fully understand, but you do it with such grace and confidence I can’t help but admire you. Thank you for being the best person I could ever think of for Bri. Eli and Auburnblaze, Thank you for everything. Though we don’t speak often, Howlingfright has always been proud of his firstborn son. Thank you for being such an awesome person, and I’d love for them to speak again soon. Eri and Tempest, Eri, I could not imagine a better owner for Tempest. The you write her is so fluid and natural, it’s as if you /are/ her. One day, Tempest will rule the world. And I have no doubt you’ll make sure of it. I thank the stars you applied for her, or else I would’ve had to settled for less than what she is right now. Cluse and Whispering, Cluse! Thank you for being so flexible with the preclaims. You’re such a fun person to talk to and your writing always amazes me. I admire /all/ your characters. Cherishedsecret and Cloverhaven’s dynamic is so interesting and makes me kick my feet and giggle. Thank you for being such a cool friend. Opal and Iris, Opal!! My favorite gang a lang leader. You’re SO hilarious and always make me smile. From your silly jokes to you just being a natural comedian, you always have something nice to say. Your undeniable positivity always makes me laugh and I couldn’t imagine a better friend. Thank you for applying for Iris, I can’t wait to see what you do with her. (Continued in n+c)
(Continued from above) Cherie and Juncohaze, Juncohaze, Howlingfright’s one true soulmate. He brought an overwhelming amount of light to Howlingfright’s previously dark and gloomy life. I cannot get over their first meeting. It makes me giggle every time. And to you, you’re such a good person. You make my life 10 times brighter just by dming me ‘ hi ’. Please don’t stop doing it, even if my response seems dry <33 ilysm Cherie all the junebugs, Junebugs!! I wish I could send a personal message to each one of you but I fear this description will never end if I do. Each of your characters have something mind blowingly awesome. Whether that be Cranepaw’s terribly difficult design that Sapling so gracefully draws every time without fail, or Cursepaw’s amazing character arc ahead. All of you are amazing people who deserve everything there is to offer. So please, never stop doing what you’re doing. Because seriously, you’re already doing better than any of us could ever do. These are a select few of a gigantic list of people who I’d like to thank. I wouldn’t be here without you all. So thank you. Howlingfright would not be the man he is today without each one of you. And thus, November 13th 2025 marks Howlingfright’s 1st birthday. Happy birthday you stinky old man <33
