[morningsaidthemoon]

wonder what they did this time 🤨

[thottybrucewayne]

Like, yeah, we do have a real issue with the need to elevate everything we like to a certain level of importance that it doesn't really deserve in online queer spaces and I think it mostly has to do with the fact that...nobody wants to admit they really don't know much about our history so they latch onto things that were formative for them. Which tbh is fine. If you think Riverdale is foundational queer media that takes no skin off my nose. The problem comes when, because this piece of media is important to you, you cannot stand to hear criticism of it in any capacity, which leads me to my next point. We also have an issue with thinking critically about older queer media and the circumstances surrounding its creation in online queer spaces, which again, is a result of not knowing much about queer history. People love Keith Harring but if you bring up his relationship with the young men he used for his art and his treatment of Latino men and boys in general, suddenly, everybody wanna get quiet. People will sensationalize Dorian Corey's story and make her a spectacle out of "love" for her but won't even bother to learn about the culture she was a part of. Y'all LOVE talking about Stonewall and Marsha P but you know NOTHING about the history of S.T.A.R.R and how she was treated by some of yall "queer elders". These issues will continue if we don't make a genuine effort to educate ourselves about our history and allow ourselves to think critically about the media we consume, even if it's important to us. Ain't no way in hell a discussion like this should have resulted in vicious transmisogyny and threatening to call Black people slurs over a fuckin tumblr poll, yall are all way too fucking grown to be acting like this.

So, I know there isn’t a Starclan in this series, which is probably for the best considering how corrupt they can be. Same for the DF.

But is there any sort of afterlife for Barrenclan, if at all? Or are you just completely gone, no longer existent after you die? No souls to watch over you in a different plane of consciousness?

(The thought of Asphodelpaw’s last moments of existence were nothing but pain and fear is honestly heartbreaking, soul crushing even. I really hope she has some sort of peace cause she really deserves it alongside her family and the rest of Barrenclan.)

There is no canonical answer for if an afterlife exists in PATFW. It might, it might not. You don't have any more information about in the comic than we do in the real world. This is as much as I've ever said about the cats' belief systems:

I answer this question once every couple months, so feel free to check out the lore tag for more information.

#101

It’s six in the evening. The villain knows this from the telltale sound of plastic scraping against the wooden floor. The sound is accompanied by the undeniably incredible smell of food.

They don’t bother turning their gaze from the window—they can see the hero in the reflection anyway. They nudge the tray into the room as far as they dare, lingering awkwardly on the threshold for a moment.

“Finding everything okay?” they ask after an unbearably thick silence.

“Found everything but my morality,” the villain retorts flatly. “Keeping me in here won’t make me a goody two-shoes like you, y’know.”

The villain had expected worse; concrete floors, metal bars. But here they are, in a plush bed, looking out to the beautiful scenery beyond, a goddamn lasagne sitting on a plate for them. 

“Was compassion not a good enough reason to have you in here the first three times?” the hero asks, their voice halfway between confused and joking. “I get the impression you like it though, seeing as you haven’t… left this room.”

The villain scoffs. “Escaped, you mean.”

“Left,” the hero corrects. “You’re not… locked in here, you know.”

The villain finally snaps their gaze from the window. The hero flinches slightly at the speed of it. “What?”

“You’re not locked in here.” The hero shifts on their feet restlessly. “Did you never even try the door?”

It’s too embarrassing to admit that it was too nice here to bother trying to leave. “I like to get my escapes right first time. I won’t try it until I need to.”

“Right.” The hero shuffles again. “Well, there’s a lot of villains who know you’re here and have been wondering where you are.”

“Villains like who?”

The hero smiles, like they’ve fallen into a trap. “Come outside and find out.”

The villain scowls at that. The hero raises their eyebrows expectantly. “Eat your food,” they say casually. “Then come say hi, okay?”

“No.”

The hero sighs, like this is a conversation they’ve had a thousand times. “The door’s always open,” they say gently. “Come see the others when you feel up to it.”

They linger in the doorway for a moment but the villain offers no response, so they simply sigh defeatedly and carefully shut the door. 

Tsch. Does the hero think they’re stupid? They’d open that door and heroes would descend on them.

The day they leave this room, it’ll be as part of their greatest escape yet.

every now and then we must remember Jon would rip statements out of ppl, thats like sooooooo👌it's an important fact for us, dark Jon enjoyers. He should've fed more. He should've gotten a bit insane. Have fun. Fun times w Mr jon. Well deserved thriving. Keep beloved Mr sims healthy as a horse. Eating his veggies. A treat. Dessert forever for jon. Who cares if ppl relived their trauma, my boy was hungry. Poor guy was in a coma, he deserves a snack. Plenty snacks. As many as the chikibeibi desires. Enrichment for his environment. Keep him strong. Helen traps ppl in her corridors and puts Jon inside as well, so he can play hide and seek and slurp statements when he finds people. Like a fun little maze for your cute little Archivist. Entertainment, keep him busy.

coming to a dark place near you !!

[ravoress]

just incase

[padawansuggest]

Real talk tho is this an adult thing, a my-family thing, or is this just something we all pretend doesn’t happen?

If my fam drinks milk or has dairy product before bed, we all get nightmares. Like super bad nightmares. Like that one’s stuck with you now, nightmares.

Is this an us thing???? Why are people drinking nightmare juice before bed??? And none of us are allergic to it either okay it’s just nightmare juice!!!

[yakool-foolio]

i'm sorry i saw the sock puppet and couldn't just not

Immaculate! This belongs in a museum!

I feel like if anyone in the NDA were to actually make and play with sock puppets, it'd definitely be Desuhiko. Fubuki would most likely join in as well, finding the concept fun and intriguing. Desuhiko can make the puppets out of scraps of material from his bag of disguises. He mostly uses them to poke fun at his colleagues and give himself benefit of the doubt, but once Fubuki joins in, he genuinely starts roleplaying with them.
