Who is your favorite canon warrior cat?

I used to say Graypool or Dovewing but when it comes to the original arc I think I favor Longtail just because the narrative really did him dirty.

People will be like "oh he was so edgy and mean to rusty/firepaw when he joined" but like. And? He was still a young warrior at the time and was taken under wing of like. Two very very anti-kittypet cats. Cats that had major influence on his life. Ofc he's gonna take after them and try to imitate that ideology/attitude, and probably in an exaggerated way because he's young, esp when it's not just Tigerclaw and Darkstripe that dislike kittypets.

But we see time and time again that Longtail is fiercely loyal and pretty compassionate about his clanmates even if he doesn't necessarily like them. Didn't he save Fireheart from like??? Drowning??

And then at the end of it all, he ends up with two of the most influential cats in his life leaving by betrayal and having to fight against them, losing his apprentice in an extremely traumatic way that, mind you, is connected to one of those influential cats because he lures the dogs out to kill brindleface, and ends up blinded by what to him MUST be a humiliating way.

I'm glad he's able to find peace with the disability by the end and settle, though as always I wish that the Erins would actually let disabled cats be warriors instead of immediately assuming they're incapable. Blindness ≠ unable to fight. It's a big disadvantage, yeah, but cats have other senses, and they're pretty strong senses at that.

Idk. I grow more and more fond of Longtail as a character as time goes on and personally I really wish he had been made deputy within the first arc because I believe he not only deserves it, but would be the guy fit for the job better than Graystripe or Bramble.

Dovewing is another close favorite, though I haven't read the newer arcs. I only know up to Omen of the Stars. Everyone sympathizes with Ivypool because she had a bad childhood and literally got sent to hell (it's valid to feel bad for her, don't get it twisted) but imagine being a literal child and your gods tell you that you're the chosen one whether you like it or not. You're "blessed" with an ability that actively hurts you and alienates you from your peers and you're settled with an insurmountable pressure to do as you're told to save the world or whatever. You just want to be a normal kid. You want to have a good relationship with your sister, but you can't because of this. You aren't allowed to complain about it because you are supposed to be grateful to these gods for everything. The other chosen ones are abrasive and standoffish from their own traumas. You're a child. And you're going through this. That's fucked up, man. And yet she's so kind 🥺

Twelve years ago today, I finished drafting my first novel!🌙❄️

Today is Life in Black and White's 12th completion anniversary. I finished the first draft at a Starbucks in my hometown at around 8:30 p.m. on February 12th, 2011, just as I had planned to do ever since I began writing the story in June 2008. I was 20 years old at the time.

February 12th, 2011 was planned from the beginning to be the date on which the story ended, and so, I thought it would be cool and meaningful to finish writing it on that date as well. Accomplishing that goal is still my proudest achievement as a writer, and was also one of the most surreal moments of my life. I remember that day well and look back on it fondly, and have often wished I could go back in time and revisit it.

I could never express in words how much I love Life in Black and White. Its story and characters have lived in my head rent-free since I started work on the project nearly fifteen years ago, at the age of 17. It will always be the book of my heart, and after twelve years of pouring my blood, sweat and tears into getting it as close as I possibly can to my Creative Vision™, it's grown into something I'm genuinely very proud of, and I can't wait to (hopefully) be able to share it with you soon.
