Ok, about Leopardfoot. Jake suggests that Pinestar has a friend in Leopardpaw whom he regularly mentions.
This is not, and I repeat, not specifying or implying that he, Pinestar, has a crush on her. Yes, as Leopardfoot, she and Pinestar have Tigerkit together.
But, I don't think, truly, that the intention is to imply they have anything going on with eachother, at that point.
I think the thing I like best about John and Arthur's dynamic is Arthur's fundamental inhumanness vs John's humanity.
I never had an issue with 'age gaps' in Warriors because they're cats.
At no point in Warriors does anyone say, 'I think Onestar being mates with Whitetail is a symptom of a major issue in our society'.
—As it stands, the world building is that it's acceptable in their society.
The world building is that the cats are ok with it.
They are in no way analogous to real people unless you're looking to ignore the fact that the books are about cats and not people.
Ferncloud and Dustpelt, for instance, were thinking about being mates long before Fernpaw had even received her warrior name.
If you compare this to a human relationship, yes, that would absolutely not be ok. But, again, they're cats. They're not humans.
I feel like Harlan Guthrie is the opposite of a queer baiter.
John and Arthur are being pushed as being almost aggressively straight and platonic in the last few episodes so that no one can ship them anymore.
He's two steps away from declaring that John and Arthur share a brother bond or are like father and son, lol.
grooming has to be my least favorite word in the world you people have really run that one into the ground. from now on we should only use that term when referring to the act of small cats and monkeys gathering around to clean each other in a friendly and loving manner
My biggest tumblr fear is making a sideblog and not knowing what to do with it. I just talk here. If I made a sideblog, it'd just be me talking somewhere else??
Ahhh, I can't decide.
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.
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.
Follower count doesn't matter on tumblr. If I have five followers, or if I have a hundred— S'all good, either way.
Thanks for being here with me. It's a blog, not a competition.
