#look before you leap

[mourningsbane]

Palepaw runs, even as Icypaw cries out in alarm. Whatever that thing is, he will not let it catch him. He will not, he—

He only sees it for a second: a large, ugly hawk swooping down with outstretched talons. Its claws easily pierce his pelt, leaving long, blooming red gashes in their wake. He bites at its feet and feathers, curls and twists his body, but it only grips tighter, talons sinking deeper still.

It beats its wings, brittle feathers falling off as it attempts to fly, but it can't seem to get its bloated body off the ground. Its struggle gives Icypaw enough time to rip Palepaw from its grasp as Cougargleam, hearing the commotion, finishes it.

Palepaw is taken to the medicine den.

With today being a leap day, I absolutely had to watch one of the funniest things ever on tv when Frasier's advice to use the leap day to take a leap in doing something different goes horribly awry.

I didn't read the prompt and just saw the word trans and clicked. I guess I'm going across antarctica now :/

“They say, ‘Look before you leap.’ So look. But do not look for too long. Do not look into the void of uncertainty trying to predict each and every possible outcome, to evaluate every possible mistake, to prevent each possible failure. Look for the opportunity to leap, and leap faster than your fear can grab you.”

My Failures

I was talking to a new collogue and now family of mine. He was telling me about someone who he used to work with misused funds and created distrust within the group. Long story short it reminded me of my failure with crypto currency project I worked on a few years ago.

I'm still letting go of what happened. I don't wish the founder any failure. I just won't be contributing to her "success" if you even wanna call it that. Long story short I see how if I hadn't have gone through that I wouldn't have the wisdom now to be more protective of my skillset.

ATTENTION YE TRANS ALLIED CIS FOLK

If you want to post a solidarity post for us trannies, please reference this DO'S and DONT'S guide;

DO: - state your ally-ship. Statements like "This blog is a safe space for trans people" and "I think trans people deserve rights, actually" are perfectly fine. We appreciate it. It means a lot. - repost the statements of trans people and share your platform with trans creators Link someone's page every once in a while, gush about their art, talk about their book or repost their struggle. You don't have to say a word, all you have to do is spread their work properly. Reblog, reblog, reblog. - Install shinagami eyes and use it to keep an eye out for bigots you might accidentally support It sucks, but a lot of people seem cool until you go digging. Save yourself the pain and moral failing of finding out the hard way and just stay away from people who show up red.

DONT: - use the 'reblog if' format as a means to call attention/get interaction. It's a nice sentiment, but it comes off as manipulative and like you're using us for clout, especially if your intent is to 'speak out for us'-- we can speak for ourselves, thank you! We don't need you to fight for us, we need you to stand behind us. - guilt people into interacting with provocative statements like 'you're a bigot if you don't reblog' or 'kill all terfs' we agree with you, don't worry, but we'd rather get people to see our side instead of jabbing at them for their neutrality. We'd like to see people angry for us, not at us. - spread statistics or facts without linked proof or citation. We need as much accurate information circling as possible with hack books and studies being the biggest enemy to the truth. If you're trying to spread awareness, do the research it requires to back it up. Otherwise, you're just making noise and drowning us out. - Try to make call-out posts Once more: We don't need you to fight for us. We can fight for ourselves. Just block people who turn out to be transphobic, we'll do the calling out.

Wisdom of A Redhead:

I have a habit of just leaping over the side and jumping right in.

Its not always the safest move for a girl like me.

One day I'll learn to look before I leap.

Image IDs

Image 1:

A design of "The Emperor" tarot card. It has the texture of recycled paper and reads "THE EMPEROR". A symbol of a spider-web is visible behind the numeral "IV".

Bruce Wayne stands facing foward in his classic Batman uniform with pupil-less white eyes. He is inside of a cave with large stalactites. In two rows of four in front of him is Dick, Barbara, Jason, Tim, Steph, Cass, Damian and Duke, each in their first vigilante uniforms. Barbara and Cass are both Batgirl. Steph is Spoiler. The boys are all in their Robin uniforms. They are all kneeling as though pledging allegiance. A faint spider-web pattern stretches from Bruce's feet to the bottom of the frame.

Image 2:

A design of "The Emperor" tarot card. It has the texture of recycled paper and reads "THE EMPEROR" upside-down. A symbol of a spider-web is visible behind the numeral "IV".

Bruce Wayne stands with his back turned in an all-black Batman uniform inside of a cave with large stalactites. The whole frame is dark. The only visible part of his face is one pupil-less white eye, looking over his shoulder at two rows of four gravestones. The gravestones all have spider-web patterns and there is another spider-web visible at Bruce’s feet. The entire card is upside-down.

I almost forgot to update you all, sorry Darlings, it's been a very long day.

Thankfully I do have some good news! Both Bug and Bunny are doing surprisingly well, though they are both noticeably anxious still. They will be on some medication for a few weeks that I have to give them at set intervals, and I will have to take them back in for a check up a couple of times too, but other than that, they are both doing shockingly well all things considered.

The vet staff was even kind enough to give them both a bath and help remove some of the mats I was unable to remove myself, as well as handle the injuries to their paws and mouths from the neglect they dealt with in their former home.

It took a while to get them to come out of their new carrier, but once they did, they pretty much went into hiding immediately. I was eventually able to lure them out with a promise of treats and an old documentary about birds so that I could give them more meds, and thankfully they both stayed in view long enough for me to get a photo of the two of them watching it together to share with you all! (Please forgive the mess, they think they're smaller than they are, so playtime clearly results in a lot more chaos than I was really prepared for.)

(Bug is the chonkiest boy, holy shit. Him Round.)

Once again, I'm incredibly grateful for the support and understanding from all of you, it really does mean a lot to me. I don't know if I'll be able to jump right back into posting just yet, but I will do my best to get back to it again soon.

Please stay safe Darling ones, and try to be kind to yourselves 🖤
