Something About FireDark Is The Image Of Fireheart Trying To Find A Way To Get Through To Darkstripe

I completely forgot Wind Runner even though WindClan is one of my faves. Regardless here is a quick sketch/WIP for the DOTC series. Hopefully Ill be able to come back to this and flesh it out later.

I feel like all my cats have same face syndrome and I'm not the biggest fan of this Rinver Ripple design but that's what WIP means right? Right guys? :,)

I think it’s fascinating how the time and social context a piece of media is released in can drastically change what an audience takes from it.

When Hamilton was first released in the mid 2010s, I don’t remember seeing any sort of criticism of it. It was near universally beloved (to my recollection). But when the Hamilton movie was released on Disney+ during the BLM movement, then we started to have conversations about celebrating slave owners and if racially blind casting actually makes it “woke”.

Rian has said he intended Miles Bron to be a stand in for Mark Zuckerberg. But in 2022/3, as we watch supposed genius Elon Musk destroy Twitter and throw a temper tantrum, we see him instead.

No story’s message is universal, nor is it static. Every person, every time period, with their own values, life experiences, priorities, will read it in a different way. And as our societies change and evolve, so will our interpretations of older books, movies, musicals, tv shows, and more.

i'll never say this publicly but honestly i think tigerstar had some valid ideas about having one big clan. obviously he was super wrong with all the violence and force, but one big clan could solve a lot of issues. No more border patrol fighting, more food for everyone during leaf-bare season, no drama involving cross-clan mates, etc etc. a lot of deaths could be avoided if we all took care of one another instead of fighting all the time

ok are we all going to ignore that anon is siding with a literal DICTATOR??? :/

That's not what they meant and you KNOW it. They brought up some valid points about preserving lives, and denounced Tigerstar's actions as much too violent. Starclan above, no cat can have an opinion these days...

Honestly I don't know how I feel about this... each Clan is beautifully unique and has their own traditions, which would fade away if Clans were desolved altogether. But OP makes a valid point about less violence and food scarcity. I hate the idea of sending my kits off to become Warriors, only for them to die during a stupid argument about Sunningrocks. A pile of rocks is NEVER worth a cat's life, whether they are in your Clan or not. And we have lost lives like that before.

I agree! Traditions are important, but every medicine cat knows that working together saves lives. Sharing herbs can stop the spread of greencough, and sharing prey stops kits from crying from hunger. We really need a better system, because I can't cry myself to sleep another night, blaming myself for not having enough cobwebs to stop a kit from bleeding out in front of me.

leave it to a woman and a medicine cat to emotionally manipulate proud warriors into giving up our PURECLAN bloodlines and Clan patriotism lolol

so what you’re saying is boop boop boop boop boop? interesting i never considered it that way. boop boop boop boop boop boop.

tiger dark headshots just for fun

it is your sworn duty, as a warrior cat artist, to draw your favorite characters as warrior cats. you must. you vowed to.

I think about this scene every day.

Laszlo Cravensworth not only knew about Jeff, Nadja’s reincarnated ex, but was the one who killed him in each life. But the thing is it wasn’t because he was jealous (which seems like the logical explanation since Nadja and Laszlo are married). It was all because every time Jeff reappeared it would bring back bad memories for Nadja and cause her to cry. That was the line for Laszlo.

Cringe is dead and I wanna know:

Lylla: *Chooses a nice, pretty name for herself, recognizing that she is beautiful despite being subjected to the High Evolutionary’s cruel experiments and body modifications*

Rocket: *Names himself after an object that represents a hopeful future for himself and his friends*

Floor and Teefs: “Yeah, I just looked around and decided to name myself after the first thing I saw”
