#reading it to her cat instead

"Jason fans should be reading Huntress, Azrael, or Catwoman instead-" HAVE you considered that I would like to avoid reading anymore bat or bat adjacent characters at literally all costs and also that I like Jason

[acid-waste]

Yah know ain gonna hold you when I say this but i'm disappointed by there being no actual discussion at all when it comes to ivypool's heart well when it comes to a certain topic

It is all discourse are yall fr I know something other than the trauma olympics happened

Larchpaw

She/her, 8 moons, cis molly

[wicked-west-cats]

seeing the news: moonpaw is very cute.... dumb and inaccurate chimera thing tho but this is battle cats so lbr lol (plus i do like the dark side of the moon imagery idea so ill let it slide....even tho split face is just normal tortie markings)

also i hate to break it to yall but the series would need a total and complete rework and overhaul where the clans break apart and reform in order to escape the incest problem currently in the series just because of how much of firestars dna has injected itself everywhere >>;;

the authors clearly dont keep proper track of the family trees (they have a lot of cats to keep track of i get it) and i dont think it needs to constantly be this major talking point we all know it, its not ideal, but theres more interesting things to discuss about the character reveal for moonpaw imo

Star (Warrior Cats)

People… I don't mind if anyone wants to share spoilers over the Internet at all, but can you please preface your post with a warning??? I can't even begin to tell you how many stupid spoiler posts I've seen already and the book is still over a week from its release. I don't want spoilers. I don't care if other people read them or want them, that is their prerogative. But all I'm asking is can you please label your post , just that? Start the post off by saying spoilers, preferably Star spoilers. From one Warrior Cats fan to another, this tiny little courtesy would be vastly appreciated.

@pinestripe37 @dragoneyes618 Just requesting a reblog of this if either of you are willing. No pressure, but I thought I would put it out there and hopefully get this message spread a little further.

Fanart for Panthera by @idrewacow

I cannot recommend this fic enough, it is an absolute delight so far. It's a classic, traditionally lighthearted fanfiction trope being handled dead serious and it's everything I didn't know I needed. It doesn't hesitate to dig its claws (haha) into visceral discomfort for our lead, but it still has moments that made me laugh out loud. Can't wait to see what happens next!

character design upgrade (I got glasses)

[jesse-pinko]

Not to get too heated ab Warrior Cats or anything but I was thinking ab it and the reason my girl Hollyleaf doesn’t get dragged by the fandom like my other two faves Bluestar and Squirrelflight- despite also being a strongheaded highly motivated female character, and despite being ostensibly more morally compromised than either of them- is bc Hollyleaf never became a mother <3 we see it in the series text all the time; shitty dads are only made so by their own traumatic circumstances and are deserving of grace and a chance at redemption (Crowfeather, Sandgorse) but queens who are anything less than perfect madonnas are either depicted as being irredeemably evil and shallow(Rainflower, Lizardstripe) or are disproportionately punished by the narrative (Leafpool and Squirrelflight during the trial). The fandom is no better; Bluestar and Squirrelflight are judged almost solely by how people feel about the decisions they made on behalf of their children, which are often taken out of context to vilify and mischaracterize them, and to excuse the actions of the male characters playing opposite them eg Bramblestar and Thistleclaw

i couldn't remember shit from that book you're telling me she did the medicine cat on patroclus??

leafpool was treated good compared to what happened to patroclus in the song of achilles

the rabbi’s cat (2002)

[rookflower]

ik you said no more ssks so please dont be mad but... ivypool x blossomfall?

it's fine, i can do a couple more! (no more doodles tho sorry) ivypool x blossomfall is not really for me i'm afraid. i'm still caught up on the earlier fandom interpretation that inexplicably treated it like it would be thoroughly wholesome and sweet instead of a dramatic toxic high school romance. i think the latter has the potential to be interesting and/or funny but the former usually feels a little out of character- from what i remember, blossomfall is really mean to ivypool along with everyone else in the books! i can see why people enjoy the angle of these characters stuck in the trauma of being dark forest trainees finding a way to make something good out of it, but again, i'm not personally too invested in these characters and think people tend to mischaracterise them a lot so it's not really my thing most of the time.

Hey, not an ask, just wanted to thank you again for the awesome fanart! The design is pretty much spot-on (I love the little '3' you snuck in there!) 'This cat has a PhD' was also hysterical. No need to answer if you don't want to, just wanted to give my direct thanks. :)

Aw gosh, I'm so glad you like it!! I'm really enjoying your fics, so it feels good to be able to support Panthera in whatever way I can as a way of giving my own thanks! Especially since I'm really happy with how her design turned out, so with any luck I'll be drawing more of this poor little kitty soon.

I've been trying to avoid saying any direct spoilers in hopes that I can convince some of my followers to read it for themselves, but honestly I think even if you know what's going to happen it's still really satisfying. This adorable, fluffy cat is experiencing The Horrors, and I'm torn between wanting to see her go through the wringer and wanting to scoop her up and give her a warm bed and some tuna.

...And therapy, for that matter.

I kind of wish warrior cats ended after arc 1 and it was remembered as a classic children's series that got cut short and had a small but nicely filtered fandom in the year 2023. I would miss very specifically Leafpool and Squirrelflight and the dozens of amazing MAPs based on the later arcs but at this rate I think we need to just stop
