There’s So Much To Unpack Here:

None of this whole thing has been told to my mom yet so while I was in the ER with my phone being dead I apparently got a text from her that just said, “Do your passport renewal.” No hello, no how are you doing, just straight to the point.

Had to resist the urge to go, “uh…. Welll…. Nooo…… kinda uh…. Craaaaaazyyyy.”

imagine a goat with a hat

STOP-

what hat did you give the goat what is the instinctual hat you gave to this goat

While reading this volume, I genuinely teared up. It handles Cinderpaw’s injury in such a clearer and more open way. She is strong and capable and her injury is not was forced her to be a medicine cat; its what introduced her to the role and led her to something she found more fulfilling.

I LOVE that kids are going to start reading this first and have this be their introduction to disability in warriors! It’s a much better lens to it in the world. Yes disability can make things harder, but it also releases new opportunities and paths that may not have been clear or even there before. <3

This all makes me excited to see Brightpaw’s story in the next volume. I’d love to see the two of them get to bond but that might be asking a bit much with how much the team has to cover.

Seriously, a big hand to the graphic novel team. This adaptation is one of the best graphic novel adaptations of anything I’ve seen so far. It’s fixing problems that come with an older story, condensing the plot while still maintaining the important and memorable parts of the original, and making small changes to the details that make it better for the different format. Well done and please keep up the amazing work.

thank fuck for this change to making it more explicitly cinderpelt's choice to be a medcat while also pointing out it wouldn't be impossible for her to be a warrior. it always was her choice, mind you, but a proper conversation between the two is appreciated.

really hoping that the tnp graphic novel team doesn't fumble this by keeping in that stupid crush retcon.

Oh my goodness I have no idea if this was intentional or not but she looks sort of like a bat! The way her nose is shaded looks like it’s a little upturned and something about the wings scream more bat to me this time than in other dragon art.

I actually really like the idea of that. If Nightwings look super bat-esque and so Sunny would look a little like one herself.

I wonder if, in theory, Sandwings could be based off various desert animals and it just so happens that Sunny’s bat-like feature actually pass off as a different desert animal instead.

Sunny im not particularly happy with shrug

what is he thinking about

who are you?

let's observe with mama

So I'm playing Inscryption, a game my friend got for me years ago but I never finished. I remember doing a bunch of stuff in the cabin, but I was never very good at the card game itself so I just kept dying before the second boss, the Angler. I know I beat him a couple times but I never made it past that. Definitely died a lot in the process.

I'm playing the game now on a different computer and Steam didn't transfer my save, so I just decided that starting over would be fine. Having a better idea of how the card game works now, I made it to the Angler on my first try and took on of his lives.

I thought things were going great, HOWEVER, apparently the game wants me dead now. The game glitched and went red and now the enemy's board has been replaced entirely with flight blocking grizzlies, because of "too fast, too soon."

This is crazy and insane and totally the shit I live for in a game. I wouldn't have made it this far without prior knowledge, yet I am being punished for said knowledge in a way that is ominous and terrifying. I genuine set my laptop to the side for a moment in shock.

This is so so cool. I'm excited and hope I'll actually finish the game this time, haha
