For the ask game, are there any activities that Spirit used to enjoy but now dislikes?

Back when Spirit was happy (pre-war), he enjoyed getting to know more about Lokomo culture. But post-war, he struggled to let go of the lingering resentment he felt towards himself for what happened and was resistant to engaging more with his culture. He eventually forced himself to get back into it (in a small character arc that I would include in STP, should I ever continue it) but there’s no passion left. Its about educating himself in case something bad happens again. He doesn’t take any real joy in it.

Along with that, I think he used to be into outdoorsy activities like camping and hiking. Post-war Spirit would rather die than ever sleep in a tent again, thank you very much.

Myth of the One

Myth of the One is the First form belief that gained ground enough to be a religion in most places and even a guild in the Candlestar which is The Guild of the Mystics of the One. This myth is that an Ultin who had power beyond all other Absolute forms and first forms combined created the Universe and Named it Pelelope. The One then created synth as a silver stream that flowed out from the…

My warrior cats oc Clay

Name: Clay

Age: 23 moons?

Appearance: A medium-furred light brown and cream tom with white eyes and a chocolate brown stripe running down his back

Personality: A distant, manipulative, and mysterious tom who never admits he's wrong.

Story: Clay was by his father, Mallowpatch, who told him stories of cats on the island who lived outside the clans. Him and his siblings, Mudkit and Terracottakit, lived in Moonclan and trained to become warriors until tragedy struck. The camp caught on fire from some kits playing with a half empty lighter they found. Mud and Terracotta both died in the fire a year before they were meant to become warriors. While attempting to save his siblings, Clay witnessed his father murdur the leader, Candlestar. He felt like just letting tye fire engulf him but he dragged his siblings bodies to safety.

Clay settled in an old fox den, and with his siblings' ghosts following him, he began to offer magical objects and potions from the stories his father used to tell him. Though he would never tell his customers quite what the potion did.

That's all for now. I hope to post more about them soon.

Continuing with the Encanto Warriors AU, is Abuela, who for me is a different type of character then what Disney usually does. Many of the story beats in the movie are going to be the same with a few differences, of course. Abuela name in this a AU is Candleglow , later on would be Candlestar.

When Candlestar was still a young warrior and her clan was still named MesaClan. She fell in head over heel love with a kind and helpful tom who always put other cats first before himself, they quickly become mate and had kit. But a few days after her kits were born a big group of rogues started to claim and attack them, because MesaClan was out numbered and being that more peaceful cats they decided to leave. But just like in the movie events, Candleglow’s mate dies try to make peace with them, this led Candleglow wishing to StarClan to drive this intruder away, and they do just that and lead Candleglow to a new territory surrounded by mountains and beautiful valley in the middle. After these events the leader of MesaClan decided to make Candleglow deputy and rename the Clan in her and mate honored. This led Candleglow into feeling that she and her mate’s descendants are meant to guide and help the Clan into better and bright future and it didn’t help that her kits started showing powers.

This guilty badname boy, leader of LeafClan

[prettyliteralwarriors]

Warrior cat OC idea:

A leader named like Waxstar or Flightstar or Candlestar

Who as leader let that power get to their head and made a lot of stupid choices

And is finally taken down by a warrior or deputy or something with the Sun prefix

[hotdogdraws]

Redrew Candlestar w/ a bonus Rusty

As a baby/apprentice, he starts off super duper ginger unlike actual colorpointed kittens. Then as time goes on, he gets lighter and the “candles” become more prominent. Once he’s leader, the “candles” start to drip and get lower and lower with each life he loses. By the time he passes, he’s practically white.

Abbas Kiarostami: film-maker and photographer extraordinaire

The late Iranian artist considered “still pictures” the perfect, poetic counterpart to moving images

Gareth Harris

6 July 2016

The Iranian film-maker Abbas Kiarostami, who died in Paris earlier this week aged 76, was hugely influential in world cinema having won the Palme d’Or at Cannes in 1997 for his film A Taste of Cherry. Kiarostami was born in Tehran in 1940, and studied fine art at the city’s university. His other noteworthy films include Certified Copy (2010) and Close-Up (1990)—but crucially his photography also met with critical acclaim.

Earlier this year, the Aga Khan Museum in Toronto presented 50 full-scale images of doors by Kiarostami (Doors Without Keys). Curators selected the pictures from 200 works made by Kiarostami over 20 years. He found and photographed the doors—all locked—in Iran, France, Morocco and Italy. The images were displayed at the museum in a maze-like configuration.

In an interview, the artist explained what sparked his passion for photography. He told us: “I owe it to the 1979 Revolution [in Iran], because it was very hard to make films. I had to go on producing images, so I started taking still pictures. It became a parallel activity to film-making. They interact. There’s a mutual influence.”  

He also explained why he was drawn to still photography, saying: “I guess it’s a defence mechanism, but also kind of a protest against all this—in my view—unwelcome movement in images. Some of my latest works are experimental films that last four or five minutes. But each still image can last four or five minutes. If an image is worth seeing, it takes concentration and contemplation.”

In 2009, Kiarostami showed a series of photographs entitled Road and Rain at Purdy Hicks Gallery in London; the exhibition was co-organised with the London-based arts organisation Candlestar whose director, Fariba Farshad, says: “When we were working on this show Kiarostami often told me that photography was his first love. 'It is my meditation,' he often said and the images that he made have the meditative, poetic quality that pervades all his work.”

Kiarostami told The Guardian in 2009: “The idea for this series of rain pictures is one I had a long time ago. I had spent years looking through my car windscreen, admiring the rural landscape, admiring the raindrops and the effect of light on them.”

Another important series called Snow White comprises 30 images of snow-covered landscapes taken between 1978 and 2004. A work from the series, some of which were taken on Iran’s Caspian coast, sold at Bonhams in 2008 for $132,000. “In the Snow White series, Kiarostami makes a transition from the urban to the natural, and with it replaces political discourse with philosophical contemplation,” said the catalogue entry.

Pettiness

What’s the pettiest thing you’ve used your PHENOMENAL COSMIC POWER for?

Of the Faovarians who translated Spirit's old journal, what are their opinions on its contents?

Warriors actually stopped them from getting their hands on the journal. They did get their hands on the various blue prints that Spirit made for Lincoln.

The overwhelming consensus was a combination of:

-how the fuck did you get such a large sample of an old Hylian variation???

-why couldn’t this large sample be about everyday life in an ancient Hyrule and not whatever weird science this is

Teapot to the Stars

I know it is unexpected, but I am sending a teapot out into the Vast Nowhere of the universe.

So far he is high above the tallest of the forest trees riding with the fury of the wind as he strains ever upward.

The moon nearly fell out of the sky at the thought of her little porcelain visitor, "How delightful," she cried, "We can sip tea together and follow the eye of the sun."

Teapot had always wanted to sip tea on the moon; he wondered if God would join them—all three of them could lie on soft dust pillows and smile as they watched their first earthrise together.

Moon, God, and Teapot:  friends for life. I know he'll be sad to leave, maybe he'll drip a perfumed tear or two, but I think God carries a towel for such times.

Moon will probably show him her deep blue Tranquility Sea, pull out her snow-white lute, and chant her Aria of the Universe—she's been writing it for the last ten-thousand years.

"You were not made for Earth alone; you were made for the Everywhere. Candlestar Sun still abides too bright, but you can swim even in her timeless ocean of fire."

"Diamond smiles pour from your long curved, white lip; your single eye is full with liquid light; your round belly shines like a bowl of radiant starfish—onward you fly, in celestial stride, awakening with the fury of the wind."

Teapot did, in fact, arrive on the moon. Moon was giddy with excitement (not knowing which way to shine at first). God arrived in a sudden burst of butterflies and fragrant rainbows. Everyone laughed.

They watched earthrise together, they told each other silly stories, they sang songs about seeing beyond the world, Moon even shared a little about her dark side.

God told them that on some worlds flowers evaporate like incense when you touch them, filling the air with soft music and beautiful petals, and of course, they all drank some lovely hot tea.

Teapot clutched the moonshell necklace that Moon had made for him; God tied two, long silk, lightning ribbons on his little handle saying, "This is old angel magic, it will keep

you from dripping and shivering in deep space. Angels tie them around their wrists, it helps stop the sadness they sometimes feel as they enter the earth's atmosphere."

Teapot stood, a sorrow rose in his spout as he looked at his two new friends. All of a sudden he felt very full, very full indeed. "How can I leave you?" he dripped.

"Leave us?" Moon laughed, and God smiled. "You're not leaving us, you’re taking us with you—and Sun, and Wind, and the Stars.

“But what about the Earth?” Teapot said. God sky-beamed, and Moon grinned a enormous white toothless grin. “The world looks a lot different from up here.”

“Beautiful isn’t it” said God. “Resplendent,” said Moon, who had admired the earth for quite some time. “Of course Earth is invited,” said Moon, “she is just having a hard time getting used to the idea.”
