A Startled Bluestar

HE DIED 9 TIMES?!!!! all at once?! i need a detailed description of tigerstar dying the book did not give enough

if you like a piece of media that is good eventually youll more or less run out of things to say about how good it is but if you like a piece of media that is objectively pretty mediocre but also somehow deeply compelling thats how the demons get you

I haven't seen anyone talk about this yet. Towards the end of Guardians vol 3, when Rocket sees Lilah, Teefs, and Floor again, they're not "whole." All four of them still have their enhancements. To me, this detail is so important.

As disabled people, we have a history of being told that, when we die, when we go to heaven, all of our illnesses, deformities, ways of being in the world will be gone. We will be cured. But for many of us, we don't want to be cured. If there is an afterlife, and I'm not autistic, I wouldn't even know the first thing about how I would exist as that. More importantly, I wouldn't be myself.

Like disabled people, Rocket, Lilah, Teefs, and Floor didn't get to choose their existence, their bodies, their minds. They were made that way and, very realistically, could not imagine being any other way, despite their pain and suffering. Even in most modern media, disability is a plot device that, when its purpose has been served, gets cured or written out of the narrative. Having all four of them being disabled in the afterlife is so goddamned important.

Consider: Dark forest warriors who have been in there for a long time start growing moss, mushrooms, and whatnot basically becoming one with the forest lol

Shaniac or not, I would be pissing my pants at any of those locations not just because of ghosts but the uncanny valley nature of being somewhere once full of people that is now abandoned.

The character here is Firestar from Warriors. I'd tentatively recommend reading the books if you haven't, but I'm not confident people will like it as it has its problems. Although most of the problems show up after the books that feature Firestar. He's supposed to be a Somali cat here. There wasn't any reason for drawing him. I just default to cats with my art experiments because they're easy to draw. And I did a study last night and I wanted to put the stuff I remembered to good use.

I'm trying to experiment with art that mimics traditional art, specifically the doodles I like to draw in class and stuff. This was really my first attempt and I think it turned out good so yeah!

Also, this is my first art piece of the year! Well, the first finished one. The New Year's Redraw is coming... eventually... I'm not too fussed about that coming out on time because I'm not usually on time with them anyway. One of them took four months and another was just never finished because it looked so ugly. This year's version will hopefully turn out very good, but I'll have to see. Anyway. Thanks to all my followers and stuff, and here's to a good year. Maybe I'll even open commissions.

"The med cat rule is stupid" if you can't understand the potential angst that could come from giving all of yourself to your faith only to realize you are drawn to living connections just as much as a sort of forbidden fruit you decided on at a young age to abstain from... look girls who get it, get it, those who don't. dont.

As promised here's the full thing plus bonus two cause I couldn't help myself
