asc thunder spoilers

fully back on my warrior clan bullshit prepare for me to Never Shut Up about warriorclan

(because they rlly said "kittypets in the old forest do warriors rp at recess" and just expected me to move on??? never)

i was genuinely So Hyped leading up to the salmon tree cat reveal. and then one of them said "what's a warrior" and all of my dreams were just crushed

it breaks my heart that we're never going to see warrior clan again in canon bc like. what other reason in the near future are the clans gonna take a trip to the old forest? they really expected us to forget about monkeystar and her gang?? i will never

I'll never get over how dirty they did Smoke and Whitetail in Onestar's Confession

Like, Onestar treats Smoke like complete shit, like to her and refuses to take responsibility, he's so paranoid about Whitetail finding out about his past relationship that he refuses to listen to Smoke when she needs him (leading to two of her kits dying) and he literally ATTACKS HER AND HURTS DARKKIT IN THE PROCESS

Onestar constantly flips back and forth between "I'm glad I don't have to see her anymore" and "B-but I was gonna go back for her!!!" And the book frames it like she was some kind of crazy ex instead of a victim of Onestar's shitty behavior

Then they have the audacity to have Smoke appear in his dream later and be all "please Onestar...you have to stop Darktail...I believe in you" SHE WOULD NEVER

As for Whitetail, she's one of the few background characters who actually had a personality (not much of one, but more than can be said for a lot of bg characters) and they just threw it in the trash to make her a generic compliant, submissive love interest

In Shattered Sky, Whitetail is pissed when Onestar tells the truth about Darktail, but in OC she's all "teehee you're so silly, of course I forgive you!!" SHE WOULD NEVER

And all of that isn't even mentioning her being his apprentice. Erins why. You could ha e retconned that so easily. Why did you basically make Onewhisker go "I remember when she used to be my student...haha she's so attractive" WHAT. (seriously the way it's worded is so creepy who thought that was a good idea)

And then at the end of the book he's just forgiven after he reflects on his life for three seconds. No justice for Smoke. No justice for Whitetail. No justice for Darkkit and no justice for anyone else he's hurt. The only character whose evil actions have been more swept under the rug by the books is fucking Clear Sky

Also they try to frame his death like it's anywhere comparable to Bristlefrost's (similar wording, both drowned etc etc) when NO. IT IS NOT. Bristlefrost was a selfless cat who realized her mistakes and worked tirelessly to fix them and doomed her spirit to nothingness, Onrstar was a complete asshole coward who never truly took accountability whose sacrifice was a last ditch effort to do something good in his pathetic cowardly life

Anyways rant over I just really hate that book

i think asc is setting up for froststar (with the caveat acknowledging that the erins will write without regard to actual setup most of the time. and they could also be cowards. so take with a grain of salt). wind had a lot of emphasis on frostpaw standing up for herself and growing confidence and doing this in the context of a leadership role, especially in the windclan scene. sunbeam like specifically notes how frostpaw takes charge of the situation and seems to have really grown into herself. and riverstar and the cats of the park leading her on this journey in order to grow these skills. and i think it makes sense with the extremely religious angle this arc has taken with “evil = defiers of starclan and nonbelievers” and riverclan becoming a mess specifically because they are without starclan’s guidance. so i think it makes sense in this context that riverclan’s chosen leader would be the cat who’s been specifically led by starclan this whole time. and the fact she has tried both a warrior and medicine cat role and has some trouble fitting into both. “look beyond the obvious choices.” frostpaw warrior-healer-prophet leader of riverclan

aita for not telling someone i know he’s being bullied?

⚠️ mentions of cancer + a suicide attempt

everyone mentioned here is in their 20s, with the youngest being 21 and the oldest being 28. none of the names used here are anyone’s actual names.

this is kind of a long story with a lot of moving parts and i can’t get into ALL of it so im trying to section JUST this off. basically i’ve had a group of friends for awhile. we met in a larger server and its a pretty big circle, so there is interpersonal drama aplenty. i stepped away from the bigger server and mainly maintained contact with 5-7 friends id made through a personal server and dm conversations.

one of the people in that server, erin (she/they) dm’d me to tell me they had to leave said personal server because they’d had a bit of an incident with 3 of the other members. they ended up telling me that they and the other 3 members had a group chat where they’d regularly talk shit about another person we know, bryce (he/him). apparently they all took something he said months ago WILDLY out of context to claim he’s a transmisogynist and therefore its fine that they bully him (this guy isn’t someone i’ve talked to very much since leaving but i do know him and we are on good terms. he can be a bit difficult to maintain conversations with but he very much is not a transmisogynist. also none of the people in this gc are transfem). like, they conspire in this group chat ways to make him feel bad. erin showed me some screenshots. its pretty textbook highschool mean girls behavior.

erin was also in this group chat and finally got fed up with them all and told them they need to stop trying to justify their actions. its pretty obvious bryce is not the bigot they’re saying he is and they’re just using that as an excuse to be cruel. the people in the group chat did not take that well so erin left and has also left any mutual servers they’re in with them.

she only told me all this because i offered to let her vent, but now im in kind of a rough spot morally. i think the correct thing to do here would be to let bryce know, but im being. kind of a coward about it.

this all may sound like im just throwing myself a pity party, but i am in a very, very bad spot right now. like i said, there was a ton of interpersonal drama in this group and i’ve been in the center of it before. it took a massive toll on me. so im not keen to get involved in drama in general, but also, mainly. i lost my best friend (minze, she/her) to cancer at the start of this year. i’ve known her since childhood and i’ve barely been able to function without her. we lived together. i still take care of her cat. we had the same birthday, and its coming up in a little over a week. i’ve been absolutely gutted knowing this is the first birthday ill spend without her in over a decade. i tried to kill myself a couple of weeks ago because i couldn’t bear the thought of it. i failed, obviously. and im fine at the moment but im definitely not perfectly well and im barely hanging on by a thread

i left the larger group because i couldn’t stand to be involved with everything going on. if i tell bryce about this group chat, i will be getting involved again. i dont think they know i know about it at this point but the only people who could tell him would be me and erin. even if i did it anonymously or asked him not to tell it would be incredibly easy to trace back to me. while im appalled to know my friends have been so viciously cruel to someone for no reason, since losing minze these people have been my only support network. they all knew minze, too. they’re some of the only people i can share memories of her with. i dont think i could process this grief alone

i know i need better friends but i don’t have them right now. i’ve sort of already got a strained relationship with some of them and i worry this could be the last straw and id just… lose them abruptly. and i know if that happened id put myself at risk again, because id be just as heavily suicidal but now with no one to confide in about it

bryce deserves to know. its the right thing to do, but it would cause me a dangerous amount of mental strain. but even though i say i don’t want to get involved i do feel, on some level, like i probably got involved the second i let erin even tell me about this. so i feel like im being a whiny dickhead and just making excuses but im just. im not willing to put myself through this again. not right now. aita?

What are these acronyms?

[showtoonzfan]

I really am tired of HH/HB stans always using the same goddamn excuse of “Viv is a human being, people aren’t allowing her to grow!”- get the fuck out of here with that shit. Viv has been like this since ever since her early tumblr and Deviant art days and she STILL hasn’t improved to this day. How the fuck are we supposed to let her grow if she doesn’t even know what she did was wrong and owned up to it??? That’s not how “let people make mistakes” works. Not crediting someone, forcing them to sign a document, and talking shit behind their back isn’t a “mistake”, that’s called being a piece of shit.

She has done nothing but harass, blacklist, and abuse the people closest to her and around her, and always came out of the situation using her mental health as a shield, hiding and not confronting the situation at all like a coward and letting her toxic entitled asshole friend group speak for her, or using a half assed apology, pettily blaming everyone around her for her actions but herself. She’s unable to have the consequences of her actions because she’s a damn child. People baby her, pamper her, and she’s so emotionally unstable whenever she’s confronted about something that she thinks everyone is out to get her. She’s so used to people fighting her battles for her, supporting her, and she knows that. She’s a manipulative gaslighter, she uses her fanbase to attack others, and there’s tons of fucking evidence of ALL of this. Dollcreep, Starvader, Kat, Erin Frost, Ken, Froot, ect. Countless past spindle members have been coming out, saying they’ve been mistreated and the list keeps piling on, with Viv either suing them to silence them or sweeping it under the rug for her fandom to deal with. She isn’t a “flawed” human being, she’s a HORRIBLE human being.

[areseebee]

Ooooooooh, what die Saoirse say about the I can wait-scene????

here's a link to the interview on bbc radio's website. the part where saoirse monica jackson is talking about the "i'll wait" scene is around the 23:35 mark, but here's the quote:

After we finished filming that scene, and Erin tells James that she doesn’t think it’s a good idea — you know when you’ve been working with each other for such a long time, you’ve such a short hand? Lisa came up to me and Dylan and was like, “Sorry guys, can we just lighten this up? You’re not getting divorced.” We just went full dramatics.

don't be cowards, channel 4. give me the divorce cut of that scene. i want full angst.

[javatello]

Its so fucked up that Brambleclaw kills Hawkfrost both times. Like. How hard was it to make Ivypool to kill Hawkfrost brah. It wouldve completed her arc so good but NO we had to have Bramble kill him AGAIN. Thats so frustrating. Ivypool wouldve destroyed him in battle the Erins are cowards
