[moss-reads]

the night circus is a fantastic book and i think has shot to the very tip top as my new favorite

what a beautiful and immersive bit of story telling

truly the best written thing i have ever read, and just the most wonderful story with the best pacing for the story within it and just fantastic characters

time to read the starless sea next, i know truly nothing about it besides it being a story about stories, and consider how great this story was?

erin morgenstern you are a fantastic author

Peg has been with a doctor for long enough that she really looked at her toddler's scribblings on an envelope, said, "Yeah, that's legible," and slipped it in the mailbox.

Lmao talking to Mama about bestie suspecting i have autism (and me agreeing once she pointed it out and things started clicking together) and mom said "I have always thought you were on the spectrum since you were a baby. You used to... ". So peer review diagnosis number 2 this year with ADHD being peer review/doctor adding adderal to compliment the bupropion diagnosis number 1. Adding both of those explains so much. Also man would high school and middle school probably been easier if i had know that there was something going on. Would probably have been a slightly less depressed 12 year old. As i got older i accepted my "quirks" but shit as a middle schooler I tried so hard to fit in without having a full idea of what or how.

But lol at age 29 i figure out i also have adhd and autism. Figured out the bipolar real quick once i started meds and going to someone for the depression episodes and anxiety spirals.

I turn 30 in july.

sometimes I feel really weirdly self-conscious that I only have like... a handful of ships that I write for consistently and that I haven't found a new ship that has piqued my interest at all in years now. like. huh. ok. and also have I just... worn out my welcome in the ships I do write for? cause I've written so much for some ships but it's like. they have me in a death grip, man.

frisk can u please infodump to us about warrior cats

!!! I would love to!!! Um!!! Uuummmmm!!!

.....I don't know where to start!!! :(

Umm. Okay, so, the first arc is about Rusty!!!

...warrior cats is split up into arcs that are 6 books long!

OKAY so Rusty is a kittypet, but one day he hops the fence to go hunt for a mouse for fun, but he gets attacked by something!!! (っ°O°c) it's okay though!!! He fights really well and the other cat introduces himself as Graypaw!!! He's a warrior in training. And then Rusty gets invited to join THUNDERCLAN!!! ⸜(｡˃ ヮ ˂ )⸝ so he does and then LONGTAIL (¬_¬ ) makes fun of him for being a kittypet. So Rusty fights and his collar snaps off!!! Abd then Bluestar- that's the Thunderclan leader!!- names him Firepaw!!!

...oh and also another apprentice Ravenpaw bursts in and announces that Redtail, the deputy, got killed during a fight near the sunningrocks, and Tigerclaw says that Oakheart- the deputy from RiverClan- did it and he killed Oakheart as revenge and Bluestar makes Lionheart the new deputy (This is important later!! ;))

So, Firepaw goes out on his first hunting patrol on his own and meets a rogue!!! They're not supposed to be on clan territory, so he attacks her!! He wins because he's super cool and then realises she's, like, STARVING, so he catches her a rabbit and eats some himself- except that breaks the warrior code =[ so he gets in trouble for it. The cat turns out to be YELLOWFANG!!!! o(＾ワ＾)o the old shadowclan medicine cat and firepaw has to like, take care of her as punishment for eating the rabbit.

So then Firepaw goes to his first clan meeting!!! \(^ヮ^)/ Brokenstar, the shadowclan leader, announces that since their clan is so big they drove off windclan because they need to hunt on their territory (HE SUCKS!!!)

Oh yeah!! And also the ShadowClan apprentices look really small!!! AND brokenstar says that a rogue killed some shadowclan kits and she should be killed immediately if you spot her. So everyone in thunderclan thinks it's yellowfang (EVEN THOUGH SHE'S THE BEST!!) But Bluestar is smarter than everyone else and says that nobody can hurt Yellowfang because brokenstar didn't say it was her

So then Bluestar goes to the Moonstone, but the only really important thing that happens is we meet Barley (he's also the greatest!!) And Tigerclaw doesn't trust him because he's a loner (not a clan cat, rogue or kittypet!)

SHADOWCLAN ATTACKS THE THUNDERCLAN CAMP!!! (っ>⁠o⁠<⁠c) LIONHEART GETS KILLED!!! TIGERCLAW THE NEW DEPUTY!!ヽ(＾Д＾)ﾉ Ravenpaw tells Firepaw something!!

Remember Redtail?? Well, IT TURNS OUT, TIGERCLAW was the one who killed him so that he could be the deputy, and Ravenpaw is scared that Tigerclaw is gonna kill him to keep his secret!! (TIGERCLAW SUCKS MORE THAN BROKENSTAR!!)

FROSTFUR'S KITS ARE MISSING!!! SPOTTEDLEAF (the medicine cat!) IS DEAD!! (Attavking medicine cats is actually against the warrior code, meaning that whoever did it is EVIL!!!) Tigerclaw says it must have been Yellowfang, and that Ravenpaw helped her!! (He DIDN'T!!!)

Bluestar asks Firepaw to find Yellowfang because she'll listen to him, so he takes Ravenpaw and Graypaw and sends Ravenpaw to live with Barley, because it's too dangerous in ThunderClan. Then they find Yellowfang!!! (ᵔヮᵔ) and theb Yellowfang tells them that brorkenstar SUCKS!!!!! And he's been making kits into apprenstices at just 3 MOONS OLD!!! Which is half of what they're meant to be!!! (⇀‸↼‶) he framed Yellowfang for the murder of Brightflower's kits and that's why she got exiled!!

So then ThunderClan teams up with some older warriors from ShadowClan who also got kicked out by brokenstar, and they raid the ShadowClan camp!!!! (っ>⁠o⁠<⁠c) Brokenstar says that HE killed Brightflower's kits AND Raggedstar, the old ShadowClan leader and HIS OWN FATHER!!! So they drive out Broakenstar and teh cat s who agreed with him using the POWER OF FRIENDSHIP and then tehy get the kits back!!! WOOHOO!!! ✧⁠\⁠(⁠^ワ^)⁠ﾉ⁠✧

Firepaw tells Tigerclaw and everyone else that Ravempaw died because it's not safe for him, and that Clawface took the kits. And Bluestar invites Yellowfang to officially join the clan as the medicine cat!!!

And then, finally... Firepaw gets his WARRIOR NAME!!! \(^ヮ^)/ Graypaw becomes Graystripe, and he becomes Fireheart!!! o(＾ワ＾)o

And THAT'S the first book!!! Oh, uh... wow, that's really long...! Uh!! Read warrior cats!!!

On the subject of Nightheart, though, I’m like. Fascinated by him. I seriously dislike characters like Myrtlebloom who are like EVERYONE WANTS TO BE RELATED TO FIRESTAR, like girl you are also descended from Firestar.

But I also really like having a protagonist that sucks. He sucks so much. He’s overconfident, he doesn’t listen to others, he’s full of self confidence and self loathing at the same time. And I’m excited to see him like, actually become a better cat. Maybe make some lasting relationships (THAT AREN’T ROMANTIC) and like, just learn to become Nightheart, a warrior he can be proud of.

Also very excited to see how disastrous his time in ShadowClan’s gonna be. Gonna be in the background chanting “you suck!! You suck!!!” But lovingly on the condition he changes and grows and becomes better.
