Reblogging this manually. Op doesn't want credit for fear of being terminated.

made these studying cat genetics over the past 2 weeks!

i felt like there weren't enough visual guides of cat genetics so i went ahead and made some simple ones, my main references were Sparrow's Garden the website, Sparrow's Garden the blog, Messybeast, and The Little Carnivore.

sometimes i wonder if the clans actually have a concept of child abuse

like cats get abused in broad daylight SO OFTEN and nobody ever does shit. like its not even like modern usamerican society where everyones isolated and thats why ppl get away w/ abusing their kids, their parenting spaces are COMMUNAL? everyone can see this shit and theyre just like 'huh blorboclaw is kinda mean to his kid huh anyway.'

lionpaw (!!!! ashfur beat the shit out of him WITH A CROWD WATCHING...)

thunder, alder and birch way back in dotc

crookedkit

tigerpaw (some of leopardfoot's dialogue implies that him coming home injured from training is like a normal occurrence. at another point in BP bluestar sees thistleclaw knocking tigerpaw around and wonders if she should report him to sunstar, but all concerns for tigerpaws possible victimhood leave her when she sees him maul a child at the command of his mentor.)

probably more that im missing. like jesus its child abuser central up in here

RESPECT ALL ASPEC IDENTITIES EVEN IF YOU DONT UNDERSTAND THEM

Get this message onto everyone’s dash rn

hello! so, im aroace right. and i recently found labels that fit me! angled and oriented aroace!

angled aroace - being on the arospec and acespec, not necessarily being 'strictly' aro and/or ace (ex. aromantic demisexual, demiaroace, asexual lithoromantic...)

oriented aroace - aroace but with an orientation (ex. lesbian, bi, etc.)

and i went to search if there was a flag that combined the two.. and nothing!

so, i made it.

i present to you, oriented + angled aroace flag!

EDIT: i decided to give it a particular name, Euclidean AroAce!

it comes from Euclidean geometry, in which there's this thing called an oriented angle lol.

please let this reach the right people and help it grow!

Been a minute since I requested! Your way of getting in depth with characters and giving each one a unique quirk is rubbing off on me,,, It’s so cool!

Welcome back! It's been slow around here, so ask away!! 98 - Rare! Frost elemental time~ I'm so glad I have an excuse to make more cats for fantasy projects I've already finished. I love the Elementsigns, they're so fun to design. I wonder if this little guy had Growthsign somewhere in his bloodline (;

Lichencloud (he/him) is a pale blue Frostsign tom with violet eyes. His body is shaped from ice, pale and translucent, though most of his form is covered in darker blue “fur”: sharp, opaque fractals of frost that cover his icy skin. A ridge of pale icicles make spikes down the back of his neck, present in the cold months, but that melt away in the spring. His pelt is dappled with patches of lichens: grey and blotchy most of the year, but vibrantly green, yellow and even pale orange during the warm months. His claws and fangs are clear as glass and extremely sharp. His tall ears are inflexible and always stand up. His violet eyes are very reflective.

Lichencloud has a burn scar--a black, melted notch--taken from his tail, a wound from a run-in with a Firesign rogue. Without the distinctive injury, many of his Clanmates might not have believed he’d seen a Firesign at all. Indeed, after the fight, Lichencloud has grown an insatiable wanderlust, itching to expand his worldview beyond the small corner he’s always lived in. To the cats of his Clan, any Sign outside of Frostsign, Airsign and the rare Watersign are only known in stories and myths. The Firesign encounter sparked Lichencloud’s curiosity. If he leaves soon, perhaps he can pick up the Firesign’s trail…

A calm cat, very little gets Lichencloud fired up. He’s drifted through life and is generally competent, finding his warrior duties easy and rather unfulfilling, but he doesn’t feel the need to unnecessarily complicate his tasks just for the sake of finding something to challenge him either. He has a monotone voice, something that had irked him for a lot of his youth as his emotions were often misunderstood or undervalued because he couldn’t express them in his tone. He’s learned to communicate his feelings clearly and openly and so is rather blunt, speaking his mind rather than dancing around difficult topics so others don’t have a chance to misconstrue his tone--or lack thereof. Lichencloud likes stories and has a good memory for recalling lore. He often comes up with elaborate stories in his head to keep his mind occupied while he works.

Hello,,

My name is Ashraf Alanqar, and I am 30 years old. My wife, Widad Issa, and I have a one-and-a-half-year-old son named Bakr. We used to live peacefully in the Al-Shuja’iya neighborhood, in a house we built just a week before the war began. I worked as a farmer and owned a large chicken farm that provided for my family.

Beloved of my heart (Bakr)

Then the war came and destroyed everything. Our home was reduced to ashes, and our chicken farm was obliterated. We lost our home, our livelihood, and even our basic rights. We've been forced to move from place to place in northern Gaza, simply trying to survive.

My House before...

Me.. while trying to recognize what has happened..

The terror we feel as we flee from heavy bombardment is unbearable. The sound of explosions around us, the constant fear as we navigate through the rubble of destroyed homes searching for safety and food, haunts us every day. My son Bakr is constantly scared and suffers from severe malnutrition and skin diseases due to the lack of food, water, and sanitation.

Our beautiful memories.. :(

We urgently need your help. I am asking for your support to fund this campaign to move my family to a safe place, provide us with a proper home, and ensure we have enough food, water, and medical care.

Baker used to play with his dog.

Your donation, no matter how small, can make a significant difference in our lives. We desperately need your support and solidarity during this difficult time. Together, we can restore hope and safety to Ashraf and his family.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for considering my plea. Your support means more than words can express. Together, we can turn a story of loss into a journey of hope and resilience.
