Another Warrior Cats blog

warrior cats fan will be like "omg hollowvoid and emptyhusk are such a cute couple! i didn't really like hollowvoid in the beginning but it's so cool how all her stubbornness and annoying personality traits were just leading up to her being an Amazing mother! emptyhusk has always been my favorite! he's so snarky and emo lol but a really good example of what a good tom should be like! finally some good het relationships in the series-- what a great dynamic to teach kids" every arc into eternity and without an ounce of self awareness.

terribly sorry to break the news. but dovewing is the one who doesn't abide by societal expectations and is a rulebreaker, ivypool is the one who gets really mad about this.

"things like the patriarchy and gender roles don't exist in the clans" ok cool in that case explain to me how fernsong offering to do the majority of work raising him and ivypool's children is "subversive" in any meaningful way whatsoever then. explain to me which cultural norms he would be subverting by doing that

au where leafpool murders bramblestar in squirrelflights hope & then her and squirrelflight have to cover up the murder together

i don't know how much longer we can go on pretending that the fandom at large's tendency to conveniently overlook/"not remember" pivotal scenes or complete plotlines involving a male character doing things hitting his son or threatening to hit his sister or abusing his authority or remorselessly killing someone in favor of a much more sympathetic perception of events while at the same time possessing near encyclopedic knowledge of every time a female character said something mildly off color once is all just a weird coincidence completely unrelated to any social or cultural forces at play regarding how the world treats women

i do understand people's frustration with how persistently negative fandoms can be, but at the same time when the equivalent is a space where everyone is expected to be overwhelmingly optimistic and accepting and uncritical of even the worst shite in a series and take everything at obtuse face value then yeah fuck I'd pick the haters any day. especially with a series as bad as this one. do you know how annoying it is to have to justify the fact alone that you Have Criticisms.
