So now that its been a solid 12 hours I have been able to sift through my computer and look at exactly what's still here.
I have all of Mishio, South, and Yukari's plain icons. But half of the ones I had edited for Mishio are gone. Luckily I can just remake those.
About 25% of Shie's are gone, and all of Minako's. Both of them I can get back, but Minako had about 800 and they took forever to save so I'm not sure that I super want to.
It's Blue I am the most upset about. I cropped and sized all of those myself from the manga. I did it slowly over the course of like several years. Every one of his icons, edited or not is gone. I had around 480. It just doesn't feel worth going through redoing all that work. Which is upsetting because I love Blue, I have always had a good time writing him on here and people seem to like him.
I'm not horribly pressed about the others but since I have Mishio's, what's likely to happen is either me redoing this blog or remaking a new one for just him. I haven't decided this fully yet but it just seems the easiest. I'm so sorry please just bear with me for a few days while I decide what to do.

Giving Gintoki the quinceañera experience.

[Image description: Panels from special episode 17 of the Natsume's Book of Friends manga showing a conversation between Nanase and a teenage Natori. Natori: "My name is Shuichi Natori." Nanase: "Nice to meet you...I've heard about you from the young master." Natori: "I see...nothing good, I presume." Nanase smirks and looks at him out of the corner of her eye, saying, "Maybe. I'd like to have a nice long chat with you sometime. See you." Natori turns and starts talking to Takuma. /end ID]
[ID: A panel from the same chapter. Matoba is walking away from Natori and saying, "Oh, and Shuichi. Don't tell Nanase about this." Natori says from out of frame: "Ms. Nanase...?" Matoba: "See you." Natori: "Hey." /end ID]
so what i'm getting from this is nanase knows all about matoba's crush and he knows she knows and doesn't want her getting any more ammunition.

any changes to the nine lives ceremony? or who gets lives from who?
Yep! There are new rules for the Nine Lives Ceremony, in the hopes of making it more narratively flexible. Not all ceremonies follow the same pattern.
Lives are gifted, NOT obligated.
If there aren't 9 cats who want to give you lives, you could walk away with only 4. If StarClan wants you to do tasks to earn them, you have to do what they say. There are many ways to get one's lives, and the ceremony can look completely different between characters.
Blackstar has to earn his lives slowly. He starts TPB with a marking like a black executioner's hood, and it slowly turns white from how often he visits StarClan appealing for his next one.
However... StarClan's games are kept in check by,
The Dark Forest can give lives too.
If they jerk a leader around, at any point, they can complete their ceremony with the damned. You can even get a mix; and it wouldn't be impossible for a StarClan warrior to sneak out of heaven to attend an unholy celebration.
Brokenstar was actually almost given a life from Heatherstar, but got so angry he rejected her completely and wrapped up his ceremony in the Dark Forest.
But there are some limits...
No leader can get lives until the previous one is dead.
Before the end of TBC, there is NO ability for a leader to step down without death. NONE. Even with ONE life left. You accept the position for the rest of your life.
Nightstar could not become leader while Brokenstar was alive AT ALL. Sunstar also only had one life. Rowanstar plunges into the Moonpool with his daughter Tigerheart's body, drowning his lives away so she could live.

Someone lived here at one point, called this place their home, dreamed of being back here after a long day of work.
Places like this are ghosts you can see.

it's so fascinating how people claim that queerness is a new, trendy thing, especially in rural regions
at least one person in each generation in my family has never been married. the common denominator between these folks, aside from being unmarried, is they had a same gender "best friend" or "roommate" or a "one that got away". it's always been a quietly truth in my family with no fuss being made.
it's only been my mother's generation that family members have been coming out. but I can't help but wonder what stories the "unmarried" ones in my family could tell me, and what they would think of the world today
