hey just woke up and the first thing that crossed my mind was 'i wonder what zack would look like when hes older' and then all i saw in my head was a freak with an unnecessary mustache.
my brain is trying to convince me of something here.
I don't want to hear people call Squilf a bad mother for not being in the nursery very often when the three were kits for /eight chapters/ when you people defend Fernsong and call him a great dad when the amount of times he 'raises' his kits would amount to a single paragraph, if that. It's worth noting she slept in the warriors den more frequently because (and I quote: 'where she wouldn't disturb the kits and nursing queens when she left on early patrols' - The Sight) Which you know, implies she did it to be considerate to her children and the other cats in the nursery. The idea she 'never cared about them at all' is patently untrue- one such example while I was skimming the pdf by searching her name is her complimenting Jaypaw's idea to put heather nectar in the herbs Leafpool instructed him to give her. She literally helps search for Hollypaw in Dark River alongside Brambleclaw on one of the patrols- speaking of, considering the text didn't make any effort to imply he was raising the kits from the nursery at all at any point, at least be consistent and call them both bad parents. I don't even think it's necessarily a bad thing Ferncloud and Daisy raised the three in the nursery, especially when you take into consideration that Squirrelflight couldnt've nursed them anyways, and she (unlike Crowfeather and Breezepelt) does interact with them positively in their youth. Which is more than Fern 'barely relevant to his daughter's life' song can say. Why is it that mothers are ran over with a fine toothed comb by the fandom, but the fathers raising the same kits rarely, if ever get that treatment? Because nobody seems to take issue with Brambleclaw telling Hollypaw not to worry about Lionpaw getting beaten by Ashfur to the point of bleeding or him choosing not to question Lionpaw further after seeing him use a move he'd never learn without Dark Forest training (which is undeniably worse than simply moving out from the nursery when you know your children are in good hands and don't want to disturb them or the others living inside of it), that's for sure.
1.) It’s really aggravating that so many people are hyperfocusing on the tiny detail of Gwen having a trans flag in her room. It’s honestly disrespectful to this fucking beautiful film to fixate on this one insignificant thing that doesn’t matter AT ALL. Whether Gwen is canonically trans or not, who gives a shit? The flag was there regardless. It pisses me off because one of the first things I heard about this movie was arguments over whether Gwen was trans or not and IT’S FUCKING STUPID!!!! This movie is so beautiful and wonderful and emotional and artistic and chilling and gut wrenching and THAT is what you took from it? As a trans person, it literally doesn’t fucking matter if she’s trans or not. Even if she’s “just” an ally, that’s amazing too! Stop being dicks. Whether you’re pro-trans Gwen or anti-, just shut your mouth.
2.) I DON’T THINK MIGUEL IS ATTRACTIVE 😭😭 I’m sorry but he looks like an animal from an old Barbie film…. His body? Great. Voice? Even better. But oh… his face. Not digging it. Also he’s kind of a dick? But if you find him hot, whatever, you do you.
SPOILERS BELOW!!!!!!!!!
3.) I kind of think that Miguel was right. Taking the story at face value: It was selfish of Miles to choose saving his father/himself over the entirety of the multiverse. However, looking at the story from a symbolic, breaking-the-chains-of-conformity way, I side with Miles. Based on the literal story, I think Miles should’ve taken one for the team. But, of course, if I was in his situation, I would want to save myself and my father too. It’s just complicated. Overall, I think Miguel’s argument was logical. I’m not concrete on this though and if you want to sway me, please do!
4.) I’m gonna be thinking about this movie for the next three years okay thank you
