I feel like Harlan Guthrie is the opposite of a queer baiter.
John and Arthur are being pushed as being almost aggressively straight and platonic in the last few episodes so that no one can ship them anymore.
He's two steps away from declaring that John and Arthur share a brother bond or are like father and son, lol.
I tried to recreate the sound of a 2010-ish UTAUloid! 🥰
Did I succeed? (I think so!)
I don't have it in my heart to get into an argument online, but Spottedleaf's Heart (2017) came out like almost a decade later from Bluestar's Prophecy (2009).
I just don't care about it, it is a pointless retcon, that reframes Spottedleaf, and Thistleclaw's entire character arcs.
I don't think anyone should be forced to interact with it as canon if they don't want to.
Maybe it's a carry over from my time on Deviantart, but it stresses me out to not be able to sort my blog. Wdym I have to have my posts and reblogged posts in the same place?! That's absurd.
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.
People can and will say things online about Warrior Cats that you will disagree with.
What you can't feasibly do is change their mind by arguing with them about it.
It's not your job to crusade against them and to tell them how wrong they are— You are not the end all, be all self-elected moral arbitrator of the fandom.
I can count on my hands and toes the amount of times I have strongly disagreed with another fan over their interpretation of the books—
I block them, and move on.
It's not a world ending scenario if someone on tumblr thinks Cinderpelt can't be a Warrior with her broken foot, or that Queens don't do anything but sit on their asses all day.
And it's also, not a personal attack against you, it's their opinion on a book series, devoid of any relation to you.
—You are not the center of their universe, their life does not revolve around yours, and Warriors is made-up! It's fake! Not real!
Put the phone or tablet or computer down and go outside. The Internet is not real life. And there is zero reason to treat it like it is.
Heads up guys I might change my url / layout. But, if you're wondering who this is, it's still t46006476.
I see this a lot, so I want to say something about it. You don't need to add a disclaimer onto your opinions regarding antagonists.
When you say, "I like Tigerstar, even though he's xenophobic, and a facist,"
Try this instead, "I like Tigerstar," Then, list what you liked about him.
Anyway, this post was about Dovewing and Birchfeather. But, like, it's also for everyone else who feels this way.
It's okay to say, "That's a retcon," or "That's a mistake," or "That's OOC," guys. You don't have to accept everything that's canon as canon just because it got printed.
Even if the cat's a background character with zero prior characterization, it hurts no one to be like, "No way would 'xyz' character do or say that".
Who cares honestly, what is canon or isn't canon. It's not like Erin Hunter is going to knock on your door if you don't care about the continuity of a 20 year old book series.
