Apex predator, my ass. I’m going to pet the dog 🐻🐻‍❄️🐼

perhaps now is a good time for some responsible bear programming to remind everyone that as cute and cuddly as they may seem, bears are lethal apex predators and should absolutely be treated accordingly if ever encountered.

You could play with the dirty part of the canon description by having Slash and his people roll in mud to hide their scent.

Parts of the Code labelling using weapons/traps as dishonorable could have started as agreements made that Slash's people wouldn't keep using their old tactics, maybe forced on Thunder's Clan to keep them from becoming too powerful, if they DID fuse.

I'm more liable to just remove the "dirty" thing entirely honestly; I just think it's so shitty I'd like to nuke it from orbit, you get me? Every single time they want you to hate someone, they make them fat and/or stinky. I'd rather just put that kind of rhetoric in the mouths of cats like Clear Sky and The Wind Runner, a lie to demonize their enemies, not really based on truth.

I think I might take the trap stuff though; that actually fits in nicely with how ThunderClan's the only one that uses spears. I won't have it be code yet, though, that's going to come a lot later. First two commandments of the code are Borders + Mercy, followed by Law 3 when Riverstar dies in some decades.

Also gonna need a name for Slash's new group. Hey, maybe THESE guys can be called Warriors, actually. Warriors of the Forest, like what the first arc used to be called before it was renamed TPB.

Have u ever read Empty Graves by unpretty? Best kents raising Superman fic I've ever read. Talks about all the futures where they didn't raise him to be good above all things so well. So much time travel. It's amazing.

Haha yes Unpretty is so good!! Stories about what it had to have been like to raise Clark are always incredibly interesting, and really fantastic when done well. I think on Tumblr people have also gotten in the habit of reading Unpretty's stories as 'basically the character' instead of a 'really fun and unique, off the wall interpretation of the character', which is problematic to people who get persnickety about comics and those people only but that's not relevant -

I'm not sure how common knowledge this is, but there was a Silver Age story about another Kryptonian baby who had a parallel childhood to Clark, except his parents were Evil Crooks, so he had an Evil Crook Childhood, and he became an Evil Crook Baby. They weren't abusive or mean or didn't love him or anything. They just put him in a little bandana and taught him how to talk like a mafia guy and break out of jail cells. Superman eventually had to fight Evil Crook Superman, and eventually breathe a sigh of relief that he wasn't also raised to talk like a mafia gangster.

Sometimes I think about that guy, and I decide that a way funnier story would be about the super baby who was raised to be Evil Crook and who lives his adulthood as an extremely normal office worker guy who's no contact with his parents and has been seeing a therapist for a few years and really just wants to go on with his life and move past his Evil Crook Baby childhood with his batshit parents. He still has superpowers but they, like, don't define him, man.

the horrifying implications of Cinderpelt as a pawn of Starclan- trying everything she can to unsuccessfully stop her apprentice from leaving because she's terrified of the internalised idea of "failing" her clan and her job due to her impending death, while unaware that the entire Crowpool situation is intentional by Starclan for their own benefit to initiate the Power of Three prophecy and that her death in itself is to be Leafpool's motivation to stay- the idea that the stars, the ancestors and family and friends she devoted her life to always meant for her to die young and hopeless and were willing to manipulate her emotionally for the best outcome for them- is alone a piece of her character that's infinitely more heartwrenching and tragic and interesting than "she actually had a crush on Firestar and she's sad she can't date him :((" and I'm so mad that the latter is her primary legacy instead of any interpretations of her as a character that go beyond boring forbidden romance #17 that was barely even implied to begin with

I believe I had asked for an 🥚 before, but if I could also get a 🌱 I’d be thrilled :}!!! I have loved learning about the species from your answers

VERY disappointed that my cringefail son Petyr is accidentally succeeding at everything he does.

I was expecting copious amounts of shameful failure, Benny Hill-esque antics, TPKs left and right, and Shadowheart slowly finding herself falling embarrassingly in love with an utter dweebus of a man because his unearned arrogance contrasted with his inability to successfully do anything (and his very secret soft heart) is endearing in the same manner a mean old streetcat pretending not to want pets is endearing.

turns out, a gloomstalker ranger is kind of OP as hell, i'm tearing through enemies I by all means should not be able to defeat, rolling incredibly well for all manner of checks despite not having the stats to back any of them up (I have not yet successfully failed a roll), and the guy is just. legitimately impressive. even his brusque manner is just a dry wit that makes him look effortlessly cool. him being blunt and still kind to kids is just actually charming, and on top of that, he's also as pretty as he is????

of fucking course she's gonna fall in love with him, he's the kind of asshole who knows exactly how good he looks, and I hate that, and I hate him, and I hate that I love him.

i need his ego knocked down several pegs, post-haste. part of me is tempted to just go tackle the goblin camp now at level 3 so he can fail in a sufficiently spectacular fashion, but chances are, he'll just dominate absolute ass there as well

Sho has absolutely no idea who Beat is. I mean come on, the guy barely had object permanence for Neku when Joshua was in sight. There's absolutely no way he remembered some random dude he pummeled in the middle of his little steroid-induced manic fit of violence when Beat himself needed Fret's remind. As far as he's concerned the guy spawned in from the ether vehemently hating his guts and yknow what? Get in line. Like 85% of people in the UG are pissed off at him for some reason or other, one more makes no difference to him.

That line of battle dialogue they have that's like "Guess we gotta work together" / "What? You got a problem with that?" is actually 100% genuine on Sho's part he's just too proud to admit it.

the way I was Positive this had to be someone typing up the most hyperbolic shit they could think of until I scrolled a bit more and they

they're serious. you're serious? you're being completely real? you think your cat looks both ways before crossing the street?

astarion origin playthrough, i've somehow made it to the goblin camp without anyone knowing he's a vamp?

not gonna lie, i'm kinda baffled there seems to only be one scene where you're forced to consider biting your companions? and there's no prompting from the narrator/dialogue to bite people or resist your hunger? in the only origin cutscene i've had, i chose to go after an animal instead of my party because it was literally the first night and it just never got brought up again?

i'm torn between trying to see how long i can keep it a secret vs. wanting to see if i'll get more content and dialogue after confessing.

That fanart of kiryu getting fingerblasted and he’s wearing nothing but his watch always makes me so fucking horny i was to explode
