Jasper Kills Quickmane My Pride Season Two Leak

A Starless clan protagonist designs (I am bad at backgrounds don’t judge me) Also flamepaw has one red paw from Squirrelflight but you’ll never know

Bramblestar fans: “How is Bramblestar abusive?! What evidence do you have to suggest that he is?!”

Me: There’s an hour long video with a wide range of points on how his character has shown common methods and tropes of abusive people throughout the series. Why don’t any of you try to refute those established points? If you’re so sure videos like Moonkitti’s or Bright Guardian Akira’s make baseless arguments, why don’t you try to prove them wrong? Surely, if you’re so sure of yourselves, you can provide a decent counter argument, right?

Bramblestar fans: …

Me: Well?

Bramblestar fans: Whatever! You’re just siding with Squirrel because she’s your favourite character!

Me: Hmm. And you’re siding with Bramble because..?

Bramblestar fans: …

FINALLY someone who sees Squirrelflight the same way I do, not as the saint the fandom makes her out to be, but a character whose in the wrong and needs to get her shit together. I'm sorry but she and Brambleclaw have issues sure, but Bramble isn't just the one in the wrong. The fandom treats him like he's the devil (they treat Ashfur the same way, when I personally think his arc was interesting taking into account he found his mother as dog bait when he was a child and was basically left parentless, he and ferncloud took it very differently, fern going and becoming a mother to everyone and Ash trying to find love somewhere else and then getting rejected. Did he take it too far yeah, he did ofc but it's interesting to look at the psychology behind it) this fandom treats Squirrel and Leaf like their saints and can do no wrong but from where I see it. . .they cause plenty of the problems. Like why didn't they tell bramble about the three? How hard would that have been to tell squirrels mate, someone she trusts, what's going on?

since we talking about the morality/ goodness of Squirrelflight and Leafpool (and Brambleclaw and Ashfur) now I thought I would group these together and just ramble about Squirrel and Leafpool for a bit

I personally think that Squirrelflight and Leafpool are good people who had to make hard decisions that would inevitably hurt people in the hopes of protecting each other and their loved ones.

These two live in basically a cult and had to do some crazy shit to protect Leaf and her kits, and I don't blame them for what they chose to do in the situation they were put in. Were there ways that could have possibly been better? Ya probably, but they aren't evil for choosing to do what they did.

Also Squilf hurt the 3 by not telling them they were adopted, but also I feel like that's where her crimes end. Like Brambleclaw has been shown to be an abusive prick so I wouldn't blame Squirrel for not wanting to tell him the truth, especially when he's Thunderclan's deputy. I have a hard time believing he would have gone along with their plan, and he probably would have done something cruel and stupid if they told him. Yes him finding out did hurt him so I guess that's a crime in a way, but i really dont think Squirrel had any other options in that department.

I think out of Squirrel and Leaf, leaf is much more in the wrong here (love her and her bad decisions tho hehe). She had like some of the most illegal babies ever due to some really bad decisions (even if its unfair that her relationship was illegal) and then she let her sister take on most of the responsibility of dealing with her mistakes. Squirrelflight could have had a chill scandal-less life, but instead she took in her sister's kits and lied to the clan and her mate all to protect Leaf, when it wasn't even her problem and Leaf didn't stop her. Leaf didn't take on much responsibility for her mistakes, she just let Squif do that. I understand why but still if there's anyone to be mad it its Leaf and her bad decision making skills lol

I really love how complex their situation is, its probably one of the most interesting things that has happened in warriors. Its complicated, and the characters involved are good people who made bad decisions, and hard decisions. They wanted to protect the people they loved and it inevitably failed. I love a good tragic drama.

these two sisters are some sad soggy meow meows

I could go on even longer but I wont, could prob expand on Leafpool opinions too but i shall stop here.

Some are offical, some are mine. What do you think?

Cartoons + Kimiko Glenn

The girlies!! &Silver <-honorary girlie I think

Also team chaotix because the idea was too funny and I couldn’t help myself

Wait. I just processed that Sunbeam and Nightheart are gonna be mates… like…????

Not a SHRED of romance on either side. Nightheart just wants to leave ThunderClan and Sunbeam’s just like “Sure, I’ll help” since he described everyone there as being as shitty as possible so that’s what she knows and she’s trying to be a good friend. Like I really hope that the moment that Nightheart is in the clan they’re gonna try to first push romance between eachother to try and quell any suspicion and maybe make themselves interested i this then it’s not gonna work so after like a month or too they break up but are still besties and Sunbeam makes up with Lightleap and Blazefire in the mean time and then like, we know Blazefire and Lightleap are a thing but what if Lightleap’s bi and polly and Blazefire’s cool with her having other mates too and then Lightleap and Sunbeam end up being girlfriends like a year later?.?

actually the idea that tallstar’s kin just has a genetic predisposition of being attracted to jake’s lineage lol

like tallstar was attracted to jake

onestar, tallstar’s nephew, was attracted to firestar

crowfeather, onestar’s nephew, was attracted to leafpool

and heathertail, onestar’s daughter, was attracted to lionblaze lol

So I am starting to do a thing inspired by an ask from @everybody-loves-purdy

As someone who has been on cheetehZ projects I completely agree with that Anon. People are allowed to like the MAPs and participating in them I don’t care but I’m shocked how more people don’t take issue with this. Especially since cheetah is now asking for donations just for map lore information (with a large following of children too). Not even art commissions. Everyone in the server is pretty much working for him. You can say it’s volunteer based as much as you want but it doesn’t address the social pressures people feel to keep up with something that’ll get you clout.

I’ve hosted maps in the past, and have noticed how the “CCU” has starved the MAP ecosystem. It was a community where you join maps and then create your own map and then in turn those people that made the projects you joined would join your projects. Instead everything revolves around how cheetah runs his maps. When people who join your maps are also in a cheetah map it wont matter when your deadline is, the cheetah project always gets priority. Everyone is always working on something in the cheetah server that nobody has time to work on anything else. It’s really rough when you are trying to get your own project done and backups are silent. That or your participants are ghosting you while being active in the cheetah server after multiple announcements.

Cheetah projects are essentially made by other people at this point for his gain. All cheetah is now is the guy with ideas. Everyone else is working for him and making set designs, storyboards, character designs, props, call art, thumbnails etc. Hollyfawn wasn’t even fully scripted! It’s quite literally a studio. Which wouldn’t be a problem if people were compensated for their time. A finished MAP in the past was that compensation but for huge projects like these that have a whole pre production stage it’s insane that a single person has hundreds of people literally working for him like this. And if someone drops there’s always someone to pick up you are literally just a worker. It just doesn’t feel right.

If you have a part that’s not a huge story beat you just don’t matter, you get the project finished but all these maps rely on the huge dramatic parts with insane animation. That’s how they get the excitement up and views in. And these parts are usually given infinite amount of time to finish without collaborating as well. I don’t have any issue with people who do use their talents to make some great parts my issue is just with cheetah and the rest of the council. How things are ran and how so many small things contribute to a greater issue here of circling people around you for your own gain just because people also like your stories doesn’t make it less insane. MAPs work as a small group project. Not as a studio. If this is how you run things it should be promoted more as something like warrior cats animated or something similar. Because now everyone is trying to follow the cheetah model and it just does not work.

This hardly scratches the surface. People can do as they please but we can’t pretend like it isn’t suffocating the rest of the community.
