“Issue #8: Do You Really Think That’s Your Destiny?”
I’ve been looking forward to drawing this issue for awhile! Daffodilpaw hasn’t gotten much exploration in the story yet, but I’m really fond of her. She seems like a simple relentless optimist, but sometimes she’ll open her mouth and unironically say the most insane depressing thing you’ve ever heard. Like I’ve said, none of the apprentices in this story are remotely okay.
Her injury is somewhat similar to Cinderpelt’s in how it manifests, as her leg from the shin down is paralyzed. However her upper thigh still works fine, and in any case three-legged cats don’t actually live any worse than four-legged ones. This is all moot against canon Warriors comparison anyways, because in PATFW healers still hunt and patrol. Daffodilpaw can’t run or fight as well as the others but she doesn’t really need to! Not much need in BarrenClan. All to say that canon-typical discrimination against disabled cats isn’t a part of Daffodilpaw’s story and I shall not be engaging with it.
Yeah, her repressed feelings of misplaced survivor’s guilt and pressure to perform for her authority figures is a whole OTHER can of worms!

Very important conversation topics among Wei Yings.
And that's how mdzs!wwx found out that his CQL counterpart isn't having the same kind of fun:
[Part 1&2 here]
if you don't do anything else today,
Please have a moment of silence for the people who were killed instead of freed when news of emancipation finally reached the furthest corners of the american south.
have another moment for the ledgers, catalogs, and records that were burned and the homes that were destroyed to hide the presence of very much alive and still enslaved people on dozens of plantations and homesteads across the south for decades after emancipation.
and have a third moment for those who were hunted and killed while fleeing the south to find safety across the border, overseas, in the north and to the west.
black people. light a candle, write a note to those who have passed telling them what you have achieved in spite of the racist and intolerant conditions of this world, feel the warmth of the flame under your hand, say a prayer of rememberance if you are religious, place the note under the candle, and then blow it out.
if you have children, sit them down and tell them anything you know about the life of oldest black person you've ever met. it doesn't have to be your own family. tell them what you know about what life was like for us in the days, years, decades after emancipation. if you don't know much, look it up and learn about it together.
white people CAN interact with this post. share it, spread it.
Dont @ me but if ur a white content creator u should probably examine your brown characters (especially the darker skinned ones) and see if u aren’t following a certain trend of making them all aggressive, violent, surly or otherwise outwardly angry
people who said pit bull (one of the most gentle animals) was an aggressive breed must’ve never met a chihuahua in their entire lives
because if chihuahuas were the size of pit bulls, humanity would be doomed
[Video description: a digitally drawn animation featuring two cat characters: Pinepaw, a spiky blue cat who’s thinking about the other cat throughout the video with a love-struck expression and Cormorantpaw, a shorthaired black cat with scars who’s sitting next to him with an unreadable expression. End ID.]
Pinepaw and Cormorantpaw from @barrenclan! Thought this audio fit them (in the first few issues at least) so I made this :3
I had this idea even before I’ve got a tumblr account and was looking through the blog when I first discovered the comic (latest issue was #14) and there were a few asks and jokes about what Cormorantpaw is thinking about, so this was based on those asks! (They were from around September 2022 I think) And recently I finally got the time and motivation to draw it :]
(The song is Macintosh plus 420 ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQkPcPqTq4M) and was my edition to the audio)
Detailed video description + transcript under the cut.
[Video description and transcript:
A 14 seconds long digitally drawn animation.
Pinepaw, a spiky blue and white tom with yellow eyes is sitting next to Cormorantpaw, a short-haired black tom with hazel eyes and a big scar across his face.
Pinepaw thinks and blushes: “I wonder if he’s gonna kiss me” while looking at Cormorantpaw who is starring off into space with an unreadable expression.
Next shot is a close up of Pinepaw blushing and thinking: “He’s so handsome”. Behind him is a dreamy image of Cormorantpaw with sparkles around the black cat and a pink background with swirling clouds.
Next is close up of Pinepaw from another angle with a love-struck expression thinking: “ I wonder what he’s thinking about…”
Last shot is Cormorantpaw from chest up with the same unreadable expression. In his thought bubble is a video of a 3D rat spinning while the Macintosh plus 420 music is playing. End video description.]
