Silly Kitteh :3

I still can't believe that Warrior Cats get so old, so fast. You're telling me you're already at retiring age at 8 years old? That's absurd.

Out of everything in Warrior Cats that I suspend my disbelief for, this particular choice always makes me laugh. Like, look guys, it's an old man.

UTAU fan artists, cover artists, original song makers, fanfiction writers, consumers / merch buyers, etc. typically consume or produce content (blog posts, fanfiction, music, art) about other people's UTAUloids, usually popular ones like Teto, Ritsu, Ruko, etc.

This is a poll about them because I'm very curious! So, if you're one of those people, please respond!

This isn't about releasing one, I'm only asking if you've ever recorded one.

I really hope the graphic novels continue to cut out all the unecessary bloat and plot contrivances left over from the original series.

For example, Fireheart saves Bramblekit from the fire, in the graphic novel, without hesitation— which is so refreshing.

I disliked that entire b-plot in the first arc where he's menaced by Tigerkit's oh-so-scary, 'amber eyes'— because it made zero sense, came out of nowhere, and was also, very dumb.

And while I'm sure Bramblekit will face some prejudice in the next graphic novel, with how well they've handled Cloudpaw and Cinderpelt, I think they'll manage to make it work.

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! Deleting and reposting some things!

I think if someone keeps their porn account seperate from their public account then you shouldn't go around posting call-outs about it and harassing them for it.

That's not fair.

Heads up guys I might change my url / layout. But, if you're wondering who this is, it's still t46006476.

I'm actually very excited about Swiftpaw and Longtail being brothers! They always had a sort of 'brotherly bond' dynamic in my eyes, so it's nice to see that being added in for the graphic novel adaptation. It just feels right.

There's something so special about Mapleshade's Vengeance that I don't see in the other books, namely, the attention to detail in the names of the characters.

Mapleshade's name, of course, is meant to be conceptually similar to Reedshine, and Appledusk. But, the names of Mapleshade's three kits also have similarities to the cats around her.

Petalkit shares a similar name scheme to Mapleshade's mentor, Bloomheart, and more importantly, Flowerpaw.

And ironically, Mapleshade foreshadows her own future here when she and Frecklewish reflect on Birchface, and Flowerpaw's deaths— Symbolizing the cyclical nature of vegeance.

Larchkit, obviously, is named after a tree, as is Birchface and Oakstar. Of note, however, is that a birch tree, and an oak tree are both hardwood trees, while a larch is a softwood tree, bearing needles rather than leaves.

Symbolizing, of course, that he is not a "true" ThunderClan cat.

Patchkit might seem to initially bear similarities to Frecklewish, namely that he has a 'patched' coat, and hers is 'freckled'—

But, you'd be mistaken, because Patchkit is both the last kit Mapleshade rescues, by killing their father, Appledusk.

Is the least resemblant of his father, Appledusk.

—And is the kit that most closely resembles Mapleshade.

Patchkit, unlike the other two kits, symbolizes Mapleshade, herself.

WHO ELSE IS EXCITED?!?!
