Flawed rat design… *shakes head*

I always try to do this. Sometimes you need to vent some frustration with a piece, but it always needs to be counteracted by a little bit of love. Not everything you make is going to be perfect, but if you can see the little things you did well, notice them and compliment them, you can carry them on with you. Art you make later will be even better.

You can’t progress if you can’t see what you’re doing well and foster it.

yall have to stop insulting your own art in the caption and preemptively pointing out mistakes 90% of people probably won't notice. allow things to not be perfect. allow yourself some grace

I’m going to throw up. New wof book next year in March. The Hybrid Prince.

Screaming. Crying. Writhing on the floor.

ignore me have a little tiny baby freak out over hoffen seeing my art of their sunflower scar skin for scar's secret life series *scream*

Casually texting my dad and asking him what he was making for dinner. I asked if he was also making a side and he replied, “Yes sire.” I’m pretty sure this is a typo.

In other news, you must all refer to me as sire from now on.

I totally agree with this. It’s okay for us to be excited that friends finally get to meet, that they look at each other fondly because they genuinely enjoy each others company, that they look so happy to be around each other.

But all of this can be enjoyed under a platonic viewpoint. They are good friends. They’ve said it themselves. Leave the real people to be good friends. Be happy for their friendship and that they get to meet. Be squealy over them finally getting to interact in person.

Just don’t force romance on real people. They’ve never spoken out about it, but if the internet learned anything from Jacksepticeye, Markiplier, and their fanship, Septiplier, it’s that we should leave the romance out of how we see them as people.

Ship the characters, not the people.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Can I be honest with you guys for a sec? I feel like this needs to be said. This is coming from someone currently in the middle of writing a 17-chapter, 50k+ word Scarian fanfic, so keep that in mind. The way some of you act around Desert Duo is genuinely just… weird to me. It really hit me during the charity streams. And to clarify, when I say Desert Duo, I’m not talking about their characters—because then I’d be a total hypocrite. I mean the real people.

The way people ship-post about Grian and Scar themselves using clips from livestreams is just super off-putting. They’re close friends, not a couple. Grian is literally married. Seeing the chat constantly flooded with stuff like “omg scarian” or “the way he looked at him”—it’s just… weird, man.

Sorry if this comes off as harsh, but I really think this kind of stuff belongs in fanfics and fanart, not in real-life clips. It crosses a line, and yeah, I know I’ve said that in like five different ways now, but I really need you guys to understand how off it feels. And I get that someone’s gonna say, “Well, they don’t care,” and maybe that’s true. But still—can we not just acknowledge that blurring the lines between the real people and their characters for the sake of shipping is kinda weird?

Like, I clearly enjoy scarian fan content, but this… god, man…

Okay so! I finally beat Leshy in Inscryption and oooooooohh is the found footage type stuff so cool! I loved Pony Island so I'm super excited to see where this is going.

I may or may not have had to quit out and restart the battle several times against Leshy... I had a really good deck, but things just kept going poorly and I knew I could actually beat him if I just got things right. Didn't take too long but it was a little frustrating. ^^;

Now I'm on to Act II and I've chosen to go with Grimora's dead deck first. I just kinda picked one at random. Right at the start of the opening cutscene for the new game, I figured that the Scrybes must be the talking animal cards along with Leshy who finally gets named. It clicked because of the shape of the tech Scrybes things which was what the Stoat's head looked like for a bit.

I've gotten to the map and I'm getting very Pokemon vibes from this all now. I was down to Grimora's place first and she's already breaking the fourth wall. She tried to describe the way bones work then paused saying that my eyes had glazed over. Then she proceeded to comment that her time as an insect was not a total waste. I am so intrigued hehehe.

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

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.

Can someone explain how people can sit in a room together, scrolling on their phones, and not be impulsively sharing every other thing they read with each other?

I feel this requirement to share the funny little thing that made me giggle with the friends near me because I just want to share things that make me smile, even if they don't understand.

I want people to share their goofy interests with me, even if I don't get it. Do other people not want that? Do other people not chuckle out loud to themselves while scrolling the internet, looking at their funny lil' blorbos?

I think sometimes I get a little annoying because of this. Oh you vaguely know about mcyt? Let me share this crazy thing happening in Hermitcraft that I'm obsessing over and the crazy fan art that's being made for it. Oh you like video games? Tomodachi Life, Rhythm Heaven, Hollow Knight Silksong, and Deltarune just got amazing news and my funny media sites are going ape shit. Look at the funny memes, I will explain them to you so you laugh. Oh you know about warrior cats? Look at this amazing art about a character you may or may not remember or even know. I love it for reasons x, y, and z.

There's too much amazing stuff out there for me to keep it all to myself. I feel the need to express it to the people in my life, not just those online.

Maybe I'm crazy. Who knows.

I keep getting this urge to text people dumb things. Not dumb things, but apologies and such that I won't have actually thought through. I feel very bad for putting my roommates through so much shit, especially at the end of the semester. I have no idea what they think of me right now. 2/3 of them haven't bothered to send me so much as a message or even a post on insta. I'm very scared that they are upset with me.

My sister said that she thought one of them, the one who came to ask what was happening and to say we'd need to talk at some point, was just extremely worried about me when we saw them, but all I could see was disappointment and anger. Like they are disappointed in how I've turned out as a person and as a friend.

I think I'm a little fucked in the head.

I need someone to scream the lyrics to crane wives songs at the top of their lungs with me

Currently imagining the bad thoughts as shitty bad news articles. They just exist to fear monger and to get interactions and to spread awful energy because we’re drawn to that stuff. But we don’t have to read them; we can just read the title and move on.

The bad thoughts don’t need to be dwelled upon, the same way I don’t have to read the whole article about some tragedy.

My sister’s cat has decided it is dinner time and I’m home alone with him. He’s not allowed dinner for another hour. He’s sitting a foot away from my face and, every 10 seconds, he reaches out with a paw to press on my forehead for a second.

He’s so cute man.

Man, how do you think the kit feels in that scenario. Lil’ Whitekit, destined to be Whitefoot, gets no fun or surprise out of their warrior name. Well, unless Leaderstar is a spiteful motherfucker I guess. Tchehehe

Not to have warrior cats thoughts on main again but I wonder if it's considered gauche to name your kit in such a way that it's really clear you're gunning for a specific warrior name.

Like if Appleflower over in the nursery gives birth to a tortoiseshell with one white paw and names her Whitekit, does her leader give her a strong side-eye and think I see what you did there, I know you're trying to railroad me into fucking Whitefoot or Whitestep, and I swear to StarClan if I'm still leader by the time that thing has a ceremony, she's Whitecloud. I'll do it just to be a dick to you specifically, you can't fucking tell me what to do
