I'm Probably Going To Lose Followers If I Keep Reblogging Random Stuff From Fandoms My Followers Probably

I'm probably going to lose followers if I keep reblogging random stuff from fandoms my followers probably aren't in but. I need to remember this

hello beloveds ☺️

hey could y'all do me a favour?

Reblog if you're okay with "weird" compliments on your stuff!

things like "biting this" and such

Oh my god, could you do a wing tutorial? The way you draw wings is just absolutely incredible 😭😭😭can't stop thinking about it

Hi! Thank you 🧡🧡🧡

I did a little tutorial for you (for the first time in many years), I hope it will be useful

hi! i was wondering what kind of problems you’re talking about in your last post about the warriors books? i stopped reading after the Great Battle and honestly i haven’t picked up a warriors book since middle school, but im trying to get back into the fandom and would love to hear what you have to say!

there are kind of a lot, some more rampant than others. you've actually read further than I have (I stopped at sunrise), but I know a bit about the books after it because I frequent the analysis side of the Warriors fandom and I don't listen to spoiler warnings. The most common issue in the books is how not much happens in them. power of three and omen of the stars easily could have been one arc, but because the authors didn't plan the books properly they ended up as two.

some other things have been pointed out more recently. the series doesn't give disabled cats all that much respect (consider Snowkit's death, for example, or how Jayfeather was pressured by Leafpool to become a medicine cat because he was blind).

a few years ago, spottedleaf got her own novella which contained some very problematic aspects that I don't want to get into here.

there's also a lot of implicit sexism in the books; she-cats get fewer lines (i.e. less focus) and usually settle down and have kits no matter how little it seems to fit their characterisation. it's especially bad in dawn of the clans IMO; I haven't read it since 2020 but I'm pretty sure gray wing has like three girlfriends in two books? I never finished dotc but I've heard the sexism continues all the way through it.

the tribe of rushing water is also in a bit of a weird spot. i think some people claim cultural appropriation, but I don't know enough about that to verify it.

that's all that comes to mind at the moment, but I'm sure there's more. and i also haven't read any of the books in almost four years, so i might misremember things or misrepresent points originally made by people who actually did read the books properly.

Edit: @smewduck reminded me of the WC racism doc, which is as far as I can remember where I heard about the Tribe thing. here's the link to the doc in case people haven't read it, but just know it's really long: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1nnCCD4TfR-5MZie9hQgpDfEE4mYpCtjNXQpD9VqOkxs/edit

I feel like shit!! So here's some art!!

This is Lightning Bird, an OC I don't use much. She's mean.

I'm currently not really sure what I want my art to look like so I'm trying to experiment a bit. This drawing features speed-sensitive lineart. I mostly just want to experiment with colour more though. Eh

Time to descend back into the art crisis void
