While I Was Binging The Artful Dodger A Couple Of Days Ago, I Kept Getting The Feeling That Dodgerfox

While I was binging the Artful Dodger a couple of days ago, I kept getting the feeling that dodgerfox really gave me msr vibes but I couldn't figure out why (minus the absolute feral behavior exhibited by both ships, of course). My brain kept circling the medical aspect of both ships, but I just couldn't figure it out

Until it hit me

He was her doctor, while she was his doctor

And

She was dying and miraculously saved and she was also dying and miraculously saved

There's probably more that I'm missing

I was today years old when I learned that when you type "otp: true" in AO3 search results it filters out fics with additional ships, leaving only the fics where your otp is the main ship

tips on drawing kitty designs? i am constantly afraid they come out too homogeneous....

I went very overboard for this ask, but I really like talking about my creative process so I hope y'all can bear with me on this one :')

Also, to be noted, I'm not a professional character designer nor have I had any design education, I'm just sharing what I've picked up myself over the years

The number one most important thing for me when designing new kitties is shaping and posing. You could make the most interesting pattern known to man, but it's way more effective to give characters different bodies. Small or large ears, long or short tails, chunky or slender, the list goes on. But body language and posing is what really brings out a character's personality in my experience.

For example, Puddle will always be drawn with a certain grace to him. Not a single strand of fur will be out of place on his body. This is to add to that strange disconnect he has from the rest of his clanmates, and I think it's what really sells his character for me. He's, like, strangely ethereal.

Another example of posing is with Mushroompaw, where she will be either skipping around or sitting clumsily with no in between. She's meant to be very energetic and somewhat uncoordinated, and it shows through so much more when she's goofing off every time she gets to be on screen

Now, you also sent this ask as a followup,

so I did my best to make a little example for patterns themselves! I apologize if it's not very helpful though, I really just follow my heart when it comes to patterns

And that's all I can think of for right now! If there are any characters people are particularly curious about, let me know! I'd love to do a deep dive on my thoughts while designing and even writing them !

Rewatching the show and reached s1 e20 and I have the same question I had the first time watching it

Why did no one think to light a fucking fire???

Was there not a single lighter in that whole ass cabin?

And don't tell me there was no wood, they were in a lumberjack camp site for fuck's sake

Would it have been as effective as actual light? Probably not but it would be better than nothing

Oh! I hadn't even thought of that but you are right!

My favorite has to be the "nice trip to the woods"

It was, in fact, NOT a nice trip to the woods
