Slash's Famous Scene

Here we are, lads. Everyone's favorite scene in the totally best arc of WC. The one where Slash pins a pregnant woman to the ground and licks her face, while threatening her fetuses and cutting her cheek open so Clear Sky can have more man pain.

So far I've been using "fridging" as synonymous with the brutal killing of a female character to advance a male character's arc; but I do want to remind everyone that the term "fridging" describes disproportionate violence done to women in the service of their husband/brother/father/son's arcs. It doesn't HAVE to be death; it can also be battery, maiming, depowering, or sexual assault.

So far, 8 women have died to serve male arcs, most of them for Clear Sky specifically. Fluttering Bird, Bright Stream, Storm, Misty, Bumble, Turtle Tail, Rainswept Flower, and Petal. Now Star Flower gets sexually harassed and kidnapped, bringing the arc's fridge total to 9.

Anyway content warning, obviously. It's still Warrior Cats and doesn't get too graphic, but this bag contains a dead dove.

First, Clear Sky gets another toesucking from the ghost of his wife who died after leaving his controlling ass. Specifically, after he threw his disabled brother out of his Clan, and after his lust for seeing random people (including his brother) get mauled at the border resulted in the death of Fox.

She tells him that his behavior never drove anyone away, it was all totally not his fault. I'm waiting for a laugh track and it never comes. The apologetics in this arc are unrivaled.

Then, Clear Sky wakes up and his pregnant wife is not next to him. So he goes looking for her and sees her being flanked by Slash and his memorable minions, Grunt 1 and Grunt 2. Star Flower is so possessed by fear that she doesn't move.

They REALLY need to sell that Slash is TRUE evil, PURE evil, because of the wet fart that is Clear Sky's redemption arc. They're saying that Clear Sky ISN'T bad, because he is not this. A dirty, sadistic monster who coos evilly about how he's going to hurt the kittens in his wife's belly and cruelly twitches his whiskers.

(as a petty side detail, please also note that this passage cannot even keep Slash's fur color straight. Behold, a cat so evil that he cannot even remain a brown tabby! He turns gray when he commits nefarious deeds! Ashfurification included!)

Star Flower is the one being pinned to the ground and having her face cut open as Slash screams about how she promised her father she'd be his mate, but this scene is about Clear Sky's distress. Star Flower is an object to this narrative, which these two men are in conflict over.

The pinning, the violence, the sexual implications, are being done to make Slash as monstrous as possible to contrast to Clear Sky. Slash doesn't kill anyone, so the narrative needs to make you SO UPSET your emotions are thrown into overdrive, so you'll accept how truly terrible he is.

The simple truth that this rancid book is trying to make you ignore, is that Clear Sky is exponentially more deadly. He has caused harm so unspeakable that they have to describe his bloody murders in passive voice. They "died" now, instead of "were killed," and the violent system he created is presented as "making up" for the trauma he's caused to the survivors.

"Pushing his muzzle close to her injured cheek, he licked the blood from her fur with a long, lingering lap."

Think critically about the characters they are presenting and the actions they make them do. None of these are real people. They are writing choices. They have portrayed Slash as a perverted, domineering, child-abusing savage, so Clear Sky the Settler can look good in comparison.

then Star Flower gets dragged off, kicking and struggling, feeble and completely unable to defend herself as clear sky thinks about how she might die along with his fetuses.

Obviously Clear Sky is so very stressed out by all this and needs to blow off some steam, so he smacks the nearest woman and starts screeching about how Star Flower is more loyal than the son he abuses

The first thing he does after the Slash event was physically assault the nearest woman. I can't... I don't have the words. Are you seeing this. Do you see what I am fucking dealing with. literally the first woman he sees.

"DOES THAT FEEL LIKE AN ACT??" He bellowed like a fucking wifebeater at the girl whose face is bleeding because he cut her in a fit of rage. That's fine as long as you don't lustfully lick it afterwards I guess!!!

Unicef and the World Health Organization (WHO) are calling for a humanitarian pause for seven days in Gaza to launch two rounds of a polio vaccination campaign at the end of August in the beseiged strip.

In a statement issued by Unicef, the pauses "would allow children and families to safely reach health facilities and community outreach workers to get to children who cannot access health facilities for polio vaccination".

It adds that the campaign will not be possible without the humanitarian pauses. In coordination with the Palestinian Ministry of Health, the UN entities have previously provided two drops of novel oral polio vaccine type 2 to more than 640,000 children under the age of 10.

Since Israel began its bombardment of Gaza in October, there have been repeated warnings about the possible outbreak of viral epidemics as a result of the destruction of health, water and sewage infrastructure.

In July, the WHO warned of the spread of polio, a highly infectious disease that can cause paralysis of the limbs, across the Gaza Strip and possibly further afield as a result of collapsing sanitation in the Palestinian enclave.

Israel also began offering polio vaccinations to its troops fighting in Gaza after remnants of the virus were found in test samples from the region. Ayadil Saparbekov, WHO team lead for health emergencies in Gaza and the occupied West Bank, said at the time that circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus type 2 had been isolated from environmental samples from sewage.

"There is a high risk of spreading of the circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus in Gaza, not only because of the detection but because of the very dire situation with the water sanitation," he told reporters in Geneva via video link from Jerusalem.

"It may also spill over internationally, at a very high point." The Gaza health ministry in late July declared the territory a "polio epidemic zone" due to the discovery of the virus in wastewater and sewage samples, despite the disease being eradicated in Palestine years ago.

I think it's also really crucial we keep the pressure up AFTER this week in order to ban Israel from Eurovision. This edition is what it is now, you cant do much about it anymore.

But theres still work to do for next year, for the subsequent years.

In an ideal world, I'd hope the world, and especially the ICJ and any other international institution would wake up and acknowledge the war crimes Israel has been comitting, and make them face consequences in a way that cannot be ignored nor denied and we wouldn't have to have this conversation at all anyway.

But while this is still in process, it's up to us to keep talking about it. And KAN has broken enough rules to warrant disqualification anyway.

sometimes I think about how forces for some reason had a fake metal sonic when they. they literally could have just used him. like are you telling me eggman isn’t going to like, include his favourite robot son in taking over the world. like eggman didn’t stop doing that after metal sonic literally fucking locked him in a room and stole his identity that one time. like why the fuck isn’t eggman letting him commit atrocities why did he make a fake version of him. eggman let him fucking massacre a whole city for fun in knuckles chaotixs bad ending i do not buy he wouldn’t like. let his homicidally violent robot son commit homicidal violence and instead made a copy of him to commit homicidal violence instead. it’s so dumb. i hate it.

At this point, I don't even mind the fact that Alastor is most definitely using the hotel and Charlie to benefit himself nor the fact he will probably do something that makes him a villain at the end of next season.

I mean look at him, those frog blinks could excuse any future plot twist inducing actions, and you can't change my mind

Either way, this guy has become my comfort character and long as he stays alive (dead? or existing? yeah, existing) I'll be happy

Tomorrow we will wake up and this will all be a bad dream.... right?

Right?

Right?!

Where was Laura during the Millennium invasion of Britain? Was she defending the Manor with Seras and the Geese? Did she go off to the front lines in the inner city? How did she survive, assuming she did?

During the Millenium attack, she was alongside Integra in London. It would make more sense for her to stay at the manor against Zorin… but we gotta let little Seras grow and learn. I would still love to make those two fight. Letting the older sister teach the youngsters about how real monsters deal with shit.

On the front lines though? She’s just ecstatic to be there. An all-you-can-eat buffet with her beloved master, and the only people that can hurt her are fighting her enemies ? She’s so ready to go apeshit. She’s tearing down everyone her master orders like chew toys and decimating anything in her path. She’s never felt so full before, and it’s been decades since she went full berserk.

She may have some trouble when Iscariot catches up with them; but that’s nothing a little of Integra’s charisma can’t fix.

Laura survives the battles. She’s way too stubborn and hateful to let some clergymen and nazi vampire wannabes kill her, let alone their superiors. Not even silver could stop her this time. How did she survive ? By being so destructive you can’t focus on anything else, and when you do, it’s probably too late. She doesn’t care for any obstacle and is ready to crush anything and anyone that might be a nuisance.

And to be very self-indulgent i would love for her to fight Hans… a dog fight. Laura has this very useful ability that makes her skin basically impenetrable if not for silver, so that accompanied by her top-notch regeneration and ungodly pain tolerance makes her an extremely dangerous foe.

She takes care of Integra and Seras in her new form post-war. (also she still doesn’t like Pip.) She might hold out for Alucard to return, and when he does she tries very hard to hide her relief.

That said i have a little comic im working on about Laura during the London attack, and i’m just dying to share it because it gives out an extremely important detail about Laura.
