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.
Tigerstar death scene but he's Caesar and all the Clan Cats come at him with knives (claws) at a Gathering or something.
What if Warrior Cats had executions? Like, guillotine, hangings, etc. How absolutely sick would that be? Let's behead Splashtail.
I feel like the main difference in the tone of the books is how the source of conflict has veered away from
"An individual's struggles with the natural world and interpersonal issues with those around them"
to
"The individual's struggles against the supernatural, destiny, fate, and appeasing StarClan (God) within the confines of a structural society + a bit of interpersonal / self struggles on the side "
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.
Have you heard of the Proteus effect?
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.
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 don't care for anyone on social media who compares their lives to others, unprompted, as some sort of 'gotcha' moment.
This is the Internet, if someone online says they are struggling, it is not for you to say otherwise. Have some courtesy.
If it were face-to-face, I guarantee your reaction would not be, "Well, I have it so much harder!" It is precisely because we are online that you can throw those opinions out there emboldened by being behind a screen.
Shame on you.
