I Know I'm Supposed To Post Selfship Stuff But This Right Here I Need To Highlight Because Omg Some People

I know I'm supposed to post selfship stuff but this right here I need to highlight because omg some people act like Bluestar is only her actions she did in her mental breakdown, what she did was wrong and bad and that's not surprising. I liked seeing her "fall from grace" she's been through so much and finally snapped after way too much bs happening to her, I find that fascinating.

Bluestar is genuinely one of the most interesting characters to analyze imo and I adore her super edition/her in the main books in general. She faces so much grievance and still ends up being a beloved leader. She wasn’t allowed to grieve in the ways she felt she needed to because they weren’t ‘correct’ ways to grieve (i.e. occupying your time working instead of 'laying around'). She was insulted by her own deputy for daring to lay around after her sister died. The one time in her life that she was selfish and chose to ignore everything for a single night she ended up facing the consequences for it and getting pregnant. She loved her kits and still gave up the only source of happiness in her life for a position she didn’t even want because she would rather deal with that life time of grief than let Thistleclaw get into power knowing he’d ruin the Clan. Sunstar would have preferred to have a grieving Bluefur as his deputy (KNOWING how she grieves because he’s had to talk her out of an episode of grief before) over her when she had kits (this isn’t a jab at Sunstar btw he's chill it’s just very interesting to bring up). Not to mention Tigerclaw (someone who she chose despite who his mentor was, despite Goosefeather freaking out over him, someone she put her entire trust in despite would’ve having an inherit bias against him) tried to kill her and it sent her into such a horrible spiral and resulted in her having a mental breakdown. Does it excuse her actions during this time of her life? Of course not, but I wish people would stop acting like her actions during a period in her life where she was very clearly mentally ill encompassed her entire character. She did bad things and that's the point. In a moment of clarity after she sacrificed herself to save Fireheart and the Clan she begged for forgiveness from her children while silently willing Fireheart to not urge them to forgive her because she knew it'd mean nothing then. Sorry for the long rant, she's one of my favorite characters

ooooo I think it definitely depends on the f/o lol but anxiety (from inside out 2) is currently my newest and strong one, so I'll answer for us!

I think anything with coffee would be a go to for anxiety. I personally don't drink it but I love to make anything from coffee cookies to cinnamon rolls with her! 💕

Having a comfort character is so weird

Like, oh they're 'not real'?

Well I love them as an entire being who I trust with every ounce of my personhood and soul on such a level that they resonate within me a frequency of comfort and peace unparalleled to anyone who has ever walked this Earth ever

also if I don't see a picture in them within the next twenty minutes I'm going to scream and Become Evil
