It's okay to say, "That's a retcon," or "That's a mistake," or "That's OOC," guys. You don't have to accept everything that's canon as canon just because it got printed.
Even if the cat's a background character with zero prior characterization, it hurts no one to be like, "No way would 'xyz' character do or say that".
Who cares honestly, what is canon or isn't canon. It's not like Erin Hunter is going to knock on your door if you don't care about the continuity of a 20 year old book series.
Just saw a post on a confession blog that made me feel so validated about that post I made a day or so ago. Suddenly, my insecurities about how bad I am at writing are gone completely.
I feel totally vindicated. Like my post was worth it. What I wrote last night fucking sucked, so I deleted it (because I couldn't make it sound right), but I'm glad that at least something I wrote resonated with people and conveyed what I had to say.
I read through that confession, and I'm just like, 'This is a problem and I didn't blow it out of proportion.'
It's a good feeling.
I will say this.
Personally, I don't think Dustpelt x Ferncloud is a problematic canon ship, or a bad canon ship.
I think they're cute together, and I see no reason to make excuses for or about the Erin's sensibilities back then vs now.
You should be able to ship whatever you want without fear of saying so— and I think if people are afraid to do that, in the fandom, then it says more about the fandom itself then it does about the morality of the ship.
Drew myself as a Warrior Cat to celebrate the release of the second graphic novel! :3 Jingle / Jester, the kittypet.
Here's a really unpopular opinion for you.
I think making The Manager, Nyarlathotep, was taking the easy way out for what was essentially a 17 minute exposition dump.
I think the Dark World will be great but we could've done without another Yellow (Discount Nyarlathotep = Discount John).
I can't wait until it gets here. I can't believe I have another four days to wait.
Has anyone played any of the Warrior Cats fangames out there?
I saw on Google that there's Untold Tales and Road to Immortality, amd apparently a few adaptations of the books into RPGmaker format.
Are any of them worth playing? Or does anyone have any recommendations for good Warrior Cats fangames? (Are there any official ones?)
It seems like it's just a recent development in the fandom, but I've never thought mentor and apprentice couples were inappropriate.
Has the zeitgeist really shifted so much that any deviation from the norm can be considered problematic? What happened to 'live and let live' or 'don't like, don't read'?
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.
