just finished good omens season 1 and omfg Aziraphale and Crowley make me ILL
just finished reading Ivypool's heart and I thought it was pretty good! I actually think grief is something that warrior cats usually handles well (at least in super editions), and Ivy's journey throughout this book was believable and emotional. I liked how the group, save Whistlepaw, was basically a bunch of grieving cats learning to let go alongside their journey.
Also lore is real now??? Which is cool?? I appreciate having a less horrifying explanation for what happens to cats after they fade (rather than just "they're gone forever whoops") I also loved the story of Stormclan and the wildcats, I thought I was very unique for a warriors book
Overall I really enjoyed it. I love Ivypool so that helped, but I think its a way better super edition than a lot of the ones we've gotten recently and the lore makes warriors afterlife canon more understandable
I'm Cicada, and I like to yap about things :D mostly warrior cats, stranger things, and whatever I'm currently hyperfixated on. On my blog I'll probably post the occasional art, rant about warriors, delusionally hope for byler, and talk about anything that comes to mind ✨
I'm autistic+mentally ill so I struggle to interact with people; please keep that in mind. Also I've never been on Tumblr before and I'm sort of terrified 😭
Favorite warriors characters (not in order): Shadowsight, Frostdawn, Dovewing, Ivypool, Squirrelstar, Hollyleaf, Crookedstar

drew Ody unhinged cuz ya boi’s a bit off his rocker so to speak…
Don’t worry it’s ok I gave him his wifey:
curlfeather spends her childhood pretending not to fear the elders tales of tigerstars reign over riverclan, about how noble riverclan was left with no other choice but to submit or die. what else could they do? these stories are heard less frequently as she gets older, and by the time she has her full name the stories about tigerclan are replaced by those of the great battle. reedwhisker trains her to put her clan above all else. the good of the clan always comes first. your clan are your kin. in their rare moments alone, she listens to an aging mistyfar wistfully recall her brothers bravery at bonehill, a sacrifice not many are old enough to remember. curlfeather has never heard anyone mention stonefur before, so she sits in silence as mistystar mourns, and at her young age decides that this is how she wants to be remembered. this is what a riverclan cat is supposed to be. curlfeather was raised to believe that riverclan is something to be proud of, something to fight for. your clanmates come first. riverclan is virtuous. riverclan is selfless. riverclan is pure. her father tells her as much. talks of tigerclan resurface when darktail comes around, spoken in hushed voices inside cramped dens. curlfeather wonders why no one seems to be doing anything about it until her father finally stands up to darktail himself. and he loses. days pass, more cats give in, and curlfeather is silent as an emaciated reedwhisker finally concedes and pledges his loyalty. she can only watch as he repeats himself, louder, again and again and again. she watches him slink away, head down, and she thinks of stonefur
