YOU GUYS. I DID IT!

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.

Heads up guys I might change my url / layout. But, if you're wondering who this is, it's still t46006476.

To make my stance clear.

I don't think anyone should be able to decide, for someone else—

—What accessories are and are not allowed on a fictional cat they drew, what couples they are or are not allowed to ship, and whether or not their interpretation of the books is 'valid'.

No one— Not the creators of the franchise, and not other fans.

And if you think you should be able to decide that for someone else—

Then you're an asshole.

lets wear shirts with mama

i love this "with mama" meme. mm yes give me more baby animals with mmama.

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 had to record this bank at such a high pitch to get this outcome. It was a nightmare. 🥺

The results are in! Bramble x Squilf sweep!

OMG SO PRETTY. THANK YOOOOU!! ☺️❤️❤️

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.

Writing is so. hard.

Conveying my thoughts is so. hard.

Ahhhhhhhhhhh
