Please Be Patient !

I tried to recreate the sound of a 2010-ish UTAUloid! 🥰

Did I succeed? (I think so!)

I don't like Fireheart x Sandstorm because Fireheart is always juxtaposed to Sandstorm in a way that makes me feel that she should be the protagonist instead.

Especially, as I'm rereading Rising Storm I can't help but think, "Sandstorm deserves better!" when something doesn't turn out for her.

I think the thing I like best about John and Arthur's dynamic is Arthur's fundamental inhumanness vs John's humanity.

Whitethroat is the worst name in Arc 1.

Don't believe me?

Guess how many times -throat shows up again as a suffix in Warrior Cats after Whitethroat.

Guess.

Do we fw my utau design??

Follower count doesn't matter on tumblr. If I have five followers, or if I have a hundred— S'all good, either way.

Thanks for being here with me. It's a blog, not a competition.

Writing is so. hard.

Conveying my thoughts is so. hard.

Ahhhhhhhhhhh

Just saw a post on a confession blog that made me feel so validated about that post I made a day or so ago. Suddenly, my insecurities about how bad I am at writing are gone completely.

I feel totally vindicated. Like my post was worth it. What I wrote last night fucking sucked, so I deleted it (because I couldn't make it sound right), but I'm glad that at least something I wrote resonated with people and conveyed what I had to say.

I read through that confession, and I'm just like, 'This is a problem and I didn't blow it out of proportion.'

It's a good feeling.

I feel like the main difference in the tone of the books is how the source of conflict has veered away from

"An individual's struggles with the natural world and interpersonal issues with those around them"

to

"The individual's struggles against the supernatural, destiny, fate, and appeasing StarClan (God) within the confines of a structural society + a bit of interpersonal / self struggles on the side "

I never had an issue with 'age gaps' in Warriors because they're cats.

At no point in Warriors does anyone say, 'I think Onestar being mates with Whitetail is a symptom of a major issue in our society'.

—As it stands, the world building is that it's acceptable in their society.

The world building is that the cats are ok with it.

They are in no way analogous to real people unless you're looking to ignore the fact that the books are about cats and not people.

Ferncloud and Dustpelt, for instance, were thinking about being mates long before Fernpaw had even received her warrior name.

If you compare this to a human relationship, yes, that would absolutely not be ok. But, again, they're cats. They're not humans.
