I get scared when my lesbian friends flirt with me

New pinned or whatever.

Welcome to my warriors' blog. I hope your experience here is very unpleasant. ❤️ (j)

Nb Femme, but my pronouns are strictly they/them

Appledusk AND Mapleshade apologist. (They did nothing wrong; go argue with a wall.) 

I post art occasionally when I remember I have a blog. 

My favourite characters are as followed:

Appledusk (biggest fan shocker), Mapleshade, Crookedstar, Nightcloud, Squirrelflight, Leafpool, Spottedleaf. I pretty much hate or am virtually uninterested in any other character. 

Debating is welcomed and encouraged on my blog; just don't be obtuse or otherwise stupid for the sake of it. Please act like you've read the book and have functional literacy before you approach me. 

DNI: Zionists/those neutral on what's happening in Palestine. 

If you make "spiritually Israeli" jokes. You're a moron, and you don't hate Israel because you condemn genocide; you're just pretending. 

You support ICE/MAGA.

Against landback for Indigenous people

Anti-Black or anti-Asian (this includes Indians; yes, they are South Asian, you should've known this). 

You make clanker jokes or support generative AI in form.

If you believe white people can face or are subjected to racism or that they face any sort of oppression, get away from me and kill yourself, actually. 

Anti any character I love (I will beat you to death ❤️). 

If you believe sexism against men is real or if you truly believe misandry is real. 

If you're one of those WC fans that thinks someone disliking a lady character = misogyny. Half of you aren't women's women or feminists, and you're performative as fuck because you'll turn around and hate on another lady character because she happened to come off bitchy. (Looking at you, Mapleshade/Frecklewish fans.) 

if you ironically refer to women as "females" outside of a scientific context

That’s all I guess 🧐

More of whatever this is.

okay yah I’m starting a new blog later and I’ll answer all ask over there

Can we talk about how hardcore Ravenwing's death scene was? I mean, bro was literally killed in front of StarClan and then left out for scavengers!

That's hardcore!

Mapleshade knew what she was doing and I adore her for that.

I like whenever you’re in my inbox lol. My favorite depictions of ravenwing’s deaths are when people portray him trying to fight back but the fight is obviously futile. Or when people make the moonstone/StarClan cats trh to warn him. Really makes his death more haunting and makes Mapleshade seem more terrifying

[youknowwhatsure1]

You can’t be a RaM fan and be an anti it doesn’t work like that buddy

In what world does it make sense to like the incest show then get mad when the fandom has incest art.

[youknowwhatsure1]

Mapleshade x Appledusk tomodachi life.

She’s 28 and he’s 23. I heart age gap. He cannot handle all that.

so many popular examples of fandom racism are barely actual fandom brand racism bcs white ppl (and honestly too many non black ppl) need outright in your face blatant stuff as proof to shocked and appalled by. most of it is the classic "I'm not touching you style" that's easier to gaslight around which is what a majority of racism is, gaslighting. slave fics a tortureporn of characters of color are awful but that's like individual weirdos who it's easy to mark off as obviously racist. The attention and outrage surrounding these little incidents allows everyone to feel better because of how exaggerated and one off they are, bad eggs in a good batch etc.

Real fandom racism is watching the darkest characters get boxed into the specific outsider pov trope over and over despite them being a core member of the cast. it's watching everyone have in depth headcanons for every character but them, denying them the complexity their counterparts get. It's them getting written out of their own plots, receiving little to no audience sympathy when they ARE complex, and, most importantly, watching them get cast in the same exact role when shipping comes in

but all this isn't loud, it's quiet and unnoticeable unless you've had to watch it play out with every favorite character you've had ever since you were ten and started engaging with fandom. it's repetitive, uncreative, infuriating and worst of all NOBODY WILL LISTEN WHEN YOU POINT IT OUT because you're just imagining it and they're not touching you. I've been making my own content and I've seen how people will go out of their way NOT to engage or engage specifically only to discredit a character of color.

it's not a one off thing or even a small pattern, it is what fandom culture is BUILT on, picking the palest skinniest most pathetic looking man in the cast, projecting onto him and ignoring literally everyone and everything else whether that be fanon over plot or the interesting female or darker skinned characters and masking racism behind fanon tropes

kill all white people

[aamutuuli]

This is regarding your thistleclaw and other grooming villains post…

But dude, so many people I see will excuse other villains and be like “well s/he’s not as bad as that one” and like… it discredits the trauma other people face that wasn’t sexual. Yes it’s fiction, but when you blow off a fictional victim it can make irl people feel unseen just because their trauma isn’t sexual. ALL are bad and ALL victims should be seen

THIS. Exactly this because how can some of you say things like this and not understand how weird you are 😭😭

Honestly thinking about just writing down all of my ideas for a MapleShade rewrite on a big post because at this point i'm never gonna make enough art to get across all of my thoughts so i might aswell just put them out there

[saturncoyotes-warriorcat-blog]

Alright ok i'm doing it, here are all the things i would change if i was allowed to rewrite MapleShade's character in no particular order:

Reminder that i have not read these books in years, i did consider rereading them just for this post but 1) I would rather choke on a pickle than sit down and read a Warrior Cats book in this day and age 2) I've been in this fandom for years and i can say with my whole chest that this is a series that doesn't deserve my time nor effort, i will do whatever i want with these characters and i'll be kicking my feet and giggling the whole time ok ?

MapleShade's cause of death is not PerchPaw, instead she succumbs from thirst, hunger and pure exhaustion after spending days doing nothing but planning ways to get revenge on the cats that failed her and her kits, she actively chooses to let her body wilt away as she puts all of her energy and attention into killing other cats, causing her own death in the process (she still refuses Myler's help)

BeeTail, ThunderClan's deputy, is also one of her victims. Canonically it seems BeeTail dies offscreen before he's given the chance to become leader and is then succeeded by DoeFeather/Star, so we might aswell add him to her tally, she causes havroc in ThunderClan by getting rid of both their deputy and healer.

Much like RavenWing, MapleShade goes out of her way to leave BeeTail's body to be scavenged by predators, but instead of birds it instead attracts the attention of foxes and other wild/feral canines, which lead to BloomHeart's death, her mentor

Small change but instead of hawks RavenWing's corpse is eaten by ravens

The last cat she kills is still AppleDusk, at this point she's already hungry, thirsty and quite exhausted, she ambushes ReedShine only to be tackled by AppleDusk who she did not know was with her, he shreds her ear in the process and in a rush of adrenaline and pure hatred she pins him down and claws at him repeatedly, messily beating him to death, letting her anger out on the cat that she once loved, he dies from the amount of wounds and blood loss

PerchPaw still defends ReedShine but MapleShade, exhausted from her violent outburst, stumbles out of the scene (ReedShine tells PerchPaw not to follow her, as at this point she'll die anyway)

She still haunts CrookedPaw at first for her own vengeful reasons, but seeing a injured kit floating in a river quickly makes her second guess her choice, and although she ends up growing a short of attachment to him this only happens because she sees him as her own kit that she lost, not as himself, it's a selfish short of care, and CrookedStar resents her for it

The only thing fueling her for a long time was pure unfiltered hatred, and once that anger burned out she was left with nothing but a immense sense of exhaustion, she's a husk of the cat she once was (she doesn't help TigerStar nor meddle with GooseFeather because let's be real that shit was boring, stop shoving her into books for no reason)
