I Think The Thing I Like Best About John And Arthur's Dynamic Is Arthur's Fundamental Inhumanness Vs

I still can't believe that Warrior Cats get so old, so fast. You're telling me you're already at retiring age at 8 years old? That's absurd.

Out of everything in Warrior Cats that I suspend my disbelief for, this particular choice always makes me laugh. Like, look guys, it's an old man.

99% of my criticisms are not with the books, themselves, but rather, the fanbase. Which I feel is disproportionately filled with a loud, and angry majority who don't respect other people, and who take the books and their opinions on the books way too seriously.

I feel like this could be considered a cancellable offense on here—

Buuuut, in my opinion, Fireheart has waaaay more chemistry with Whitestorm than he does with either Sandstorm, or Graystripe.

I will say this.

Personally, I don't think Dustpelt x Ferncloud is a problematic canon ship, or a bad canon ship.

I think they're cute together, and I see no reason to make excuses for or about the Erin's sensibilities back then vs now.

You should be able to ship whatever you want without fear of saying so— and I think if people are afraid to do that, in the fandom, then it says more about the fandom itself then it does about the morality of the ship.

There are people who are mean online, and who ruin the online experience for others.

So, here's my two cents.

>You can like Mapleshade, guilt-free.

>You can like Darkstripe, guilt-free.

>You can like Thistleclaw, guilt-free.

>You can like Rainflower, guilt-free.

You do not need to preface it with,

"But, I acknowledge that they're bad or abusive or xenophobic, or at fault,"

No.

You do not have to justify anything you feel about any character from a stupid cat book, ever. For any reason. Warrior Cats is not real. It says about as much about you that you like Thistleclaw as a shitty horoscope can say about your day.

Which, is to say, nothing, at all.

You can like a character because they're evil, or because you sympathize or relate to them, or because they stir the pot, etc. etc. Any reason that is your own is reason enough.

Maybe it's a carry over from my time on Deviantart, but it stresses me out to not be able to sort my blog. Wdym I have to have my posts and reblogged posts in the same place?! That's absurd.

Guysss look what I did! 🥳 I made the Animal Crossing voice in UTAU!

The results are in! Bramble x Squilf sweep!
