Wet - Dazey and the Scouts

It's nights like this that remind me of my deepest fantasy Where I'm all alone, and I feel the cold, dark earth caressin' me 'Cause I'm six feet under nearly and I don't have anyone But this wouldn't be the first or last time that Both my tears and I have come

thorn time!!!! debated on who to draw for this one for a bit but settled on him <3 this is one of those "going through it" songs for me

I feel weird about the uh. New ship because tawnypelt was around crowfeather a LOT when he was. An apprentice (read: a child). It has the same Ick factor that bramblesquirrel or stormsquirrel or feathercrow have for me. Especially considering that’s the REASON she knows him so well.

Like if they hadn’t both been on the journey and thus hadnt had consistent and frequent interaction until they were adults the age gap wouldn’t bother me at all, but. They were. Like i know a LOT of time has passed and crow is well into adulthood now but that doesn’t change the fact that she practically watched him grow up.

That’s very fair, although I do guess in the clans this is something that does happen. For example Brackenfur played a role in helping Sorrelkit after she was poisoned yet once she became Sorreltail they fell in love and became mates. And there are a few warrior cats couples when one would have watched the other grow up. It is a bit weird to me for sure but I think it’s a fact of life for these cats with how quickly they grow up. So yeah I most definitely get your point of view, and it does give me pause, but to me personally as long as everyone is an adult at the start of a relationship and they weren’t mentor and apprentice, then it’s fine.

would you consider putting defrag on comicfury, too?

I've been meaning to do this for a while and this is a good opportunity so here we go! Defrag on comicfury for much easier reading, haha. I'll probably fancy it up more later, right now just having it down is the important thing.

I know it was a while ago but I wanted to tell you one of my fav risingclan arts is the… i thing 2/3 newleaf one? Where scorch has her leggy just ALL the way out. It reminds me so much of my cat, hes VERY particular about having one of his legs sticking out when hes sleeping. Photo evidence/cat tax enclosed below

What a beautiful baby!!

Leg sticky outy gang

[fallenclan]

asking for a friend (me)

you've been updating this blog, near daily (if not actually daily) for several months now, and with fully lined/colored art.

how have you avoided burnout?

good question! really, i don't fully know--some of it is just because of how passionate i am about this clan, it's a lot of fun for me to draw this stuff! another part is that over the years i've learned to recognize when i've had Enough of drawing for now, so when i start to feel the telltale signs I'll stop and go to do something else for a while. mostly it's just a matter of knowing your limits, i think

[wc-confessions]

Hi, I don’t usually come to confessions blogs for like mental health reasons but I’m the author of Follow Your Heart and i was told it was being discussed on here so I wanted to come talk about it myself.

I started writing the comic when I was in highschool, so I was a child myself. (I don’t remember my exact age, just that I remember drawing concept art while hanging out in my school’s library) That’s why the original “drama” thing was there between Mouseclaw and Sootpaw. Spottedleafs Heart came out and it was so bad that it made me re-examine that part of the story. Warriors romantizes relationships with age gaps like Soot and Mouse all the time, hence why I probably didn’t think anything of it back then. (See: Dustfern, Bramblesquirrel)

Yes, there are scenes where it’s implied the characters have had sex. There is absolutely nothing explicit however, and I have some bad news for the original anon about how babies were made if they’re that upset about it, because literally every child born in the series implies the characters had sex lol. Its even implied Daisy and Spiderleg had a one night stand! (He specifically says their kits were an accident!)

I also don’t appreciate the implications of what they were saying as someone who was traumatized by actual zooporn w real animals as a young child. That kind of thing is exactly the reason I don’t post or advertise my comic on twitter or tumblr, I knew I’d get accused of that shit. Idk if the original anon is reading this but please think about what you say before you say it :/

I’m a human being and I’m not perfect. But I like to think I’m doing okay, since multiple CSA survivors have shared their stories in my comments and thanked me for making the comic (im not trying to toot my own horn, im simply stating facts- i dont want to pat my own ass or anything) and I also had a CSA survivor as a beta reader of the comic.

I don’t think Spottedleaf experienced actual sexual abuse if that’s what the other anon was implying, I just think that the story was a VERY bad example of grooming and it was what inspired me to do better.

 I’m doing this specifically because if there is the BAREST fucking chance I can educate a kid and keep them out if this situation, I want to take it. I feel incredibly strongly about this topic and that’s why I wanted to do something about it. I said this in a page description, but I was provided very little education on this in school, in fact I can only concretely remember one video and I have a vague idea that there was one other thing I was shown to educate about CSA- compared to the abstinence-only sex education that was drilled in my head from like, 6th to 9th grade. I’m just a blip in the sea of warcats comics on dA, but I can at least try my best to help where I can.

I have a warning page up that talks about the subject matter which is what I’m sure you saw, but I go a little more in depth in the description of chapter 5’s cover.

I don’t know you and you don’t know me, but I genuinely deeply appreciate you not immediately trying to crucify me when that anon came to your inbox. Like I said, there’s a reason I don’t advertise on tumblr. I really really appreciate you taking a neutral stance until you knew more. Thank you, it means a lot. :) sorry for the very long ask, haha.

thank you for your response and its no problem. in these sorts of situations its always best to pretty much get your own info so i took it very seriously. im very sorry about all that and dont hesitate to lmk if youd rather not be spoken about on here i'd completely understand.
