You must unapologetically, and thoroughly curate your own online experience. You choose with whom and with what you interact with online.
There is no shame in blocking, or quitting relationships / communities. It is just a part of being alive.
You would leave a party if the crowd made you uncomfortable, wouldn't you? Online is the same.
You can't change the hearts or minds of others, only your own.
Policing other people's problematic behavior, opinions, and content does nothing.
You must learn to ignore it.
I love my url sooooo much, but I also want to delete all my posts and pretend I was never here—
Not because of anything fandom related I just get in those moods where I want to delete stuff. And Idk.
reblogging my own post to tack on this "additional" commentary.
whenever questions of the worst wc character come up, i can't really understand the fact that darkstripe has genuine vitriolic haters that think he's one of the worst characters in the series. like obviously morality holds some stake in character preference, and i can also understand why people hate on him in a jokey way because canon keeps putting him in a position where he's easy to point and laugh at and he's given very little on-page sympathy or reasoning unlike other antagonists, but, like. darkstripe? he serves his narrative role well, he's got room for intrigue and headcanons, he can be at least funny or endearingly pathetic if you don't want to do that, and he's still not nearly the most morally reprehensible character in the series even though he tries to poison a child/potentially his little sister depending on how much parentage retcons you buy into, so like idk what you people even want from him
I see this a lot, so I want to say something about it. You don't need to add a disclaimer onto your opinions regarding antagonists.
When you say, "I like Tigerstar, even though he's xenophobic, and a facist,"
Try this instead, "I like Tigerstar," Then, list what you liked about him.
I'm actually very excited about Swiftpaw and Longtail being brothers! They always had a sort of 'brotherly bond' dynamic in my eyes, so it's nice to see that being added in for the graphic novel adaptation. It just feels right.
Just saw a post on a confession blog that made me feel so validated about that post I made a day or so ago. Suddenly, my insecurities about how bad I am at writing are gone completely.
I feel totally vindicated. Like my post was worth it. What I wrote last night fucking sucked, so I deleted it (because I couldn't make it sound right), but I'm glad that at least something I wrote resonated with people and conveyed what I had to say.
I read through that confession, and I'm just like, 'This is a problem and I didn't blow it out of proportion.'
It's a good feeling.
Living in America is so bleak. Every other post on my dash is asking me to donate to someone or other to help them cover their bills. And they're all Americans.
Literal shithole country. I hate living here, what the fuck.
I've never read WoF, I have no idea why I'm here, anyway here's me as a dragon, lol. I think the snowy ones are called Icewings, so her name is Shard.
Her horns are sharp and shiny. She breathes ice breath and guards a secret door at the bottom of a dark cavern that has a lot of gold behind it.
It's okay to say, "That's a retcon," or "That's a mistake," or "That's OOC," guys. You don't have to accept everything that's canon as canon just because it got printed.
Even if the cat's a background character with zero prior characterization, it hurts no one to be like, "No way would 'xyz' character do or say that".
Who cares honestly, what is canon or isn't canon. It's not like Erin Hunter is going to knock on your door if you don't care about the continuity of a 20 year old book series.
Guys, what if I just stopped using tags?
Would love Warrior Cats find a way?
