If two people on SSI are married, the MAXIMUM they can receive is $1,491 a month, total, for both of them. (Meaning marriage to another SSI recipient reduces your maximum income possible to $745 a person each month.)

Could you live on that?

AND IT NEEDS TO FACE A LOT OF OPPOSITION, SO CALL AGAIN!!

Hm... thinking how he'd join ThunderClan, perhaps he'd somehow evade Tigerpaw's attack until a point, when he's pinned down. Bluefur steps in and argues they should bring him home, since clearly he's not an ordinary kittypet. I don't think Thistleclaw would like that but Tigerpaw being still young and easily swayed might consider Bluefur's words for a bit. I'm not sure if he'd agree with her, though, but he'd probably stop and think. I'm not a fan of representing Tigerstar, at any point of his life, as a simplistic brute. He's very intelligent, and it is showcased throughout the first arc that his ascent to power is fairly strategic for a cat seemingly obsessed with violence. He prefers not to get his own claws dirty, you can tell this when he sics the dogs on the forest, forms an allyship with BloodClan, forms TigerClan, etc.. This is a post about TC!Scourge, though, not a discussion of Tigerstar's characterization.

I really do wonder how Tiny being a ThunderClan warrior would affect the narrative of the first arc. I'm sure Rusty joining the clan would be easier for him, but perhaps Tigerclaw and his clique are still doubtful. I think the fight with Longtail can still happen. It would be really nice for Rusty to have a role model in Tiny (from now on Eeldash), considering their similar background and probably similar treatment by the clan.

Eeldash would probably be a little jealous about Firepaw having a friend in the clan, since he didn't really have any when he was his age. I imagine him functioning a bit like a more "acccessible" Whitestorm, since he's probably interested in Firepaw, again, because of their shared background of being ex-kittypets. It's likely Bluestar would assign him to be Firepaw's mentor, especially after the devastating back to back loss of two deputies (Redtail and Lionheart). Though I wonder if she'd trust Eeldash with raising the fire that was prophesied to save ThunderClan, though. Perhaps she'd have him be Firepaw's official mentor, but often tag along to trainings to watch.

Eeldash is likely to have not had an apprentice until Firepaw, or maybe if he did his apprentices wouldn't quite respect him because of his stature and background.

(I will only be including arc 1 + DOTC stuff)

Top lesbian ship: Sandstorm x Silverstream! They’ve probably never interacted but they’re both pretty buff ladies and fanfic does enough service.

Canon/closest to canon lesbian ship: Since none are actually canon, I say that Bumble x Turtle Tail is closest to canon. Turtle Tail left the clans to live with Bumble and was sad (i think) when she died.

Lesbian rarepair: Sandstorm x Ferncloud! If Firestar and Dustpelt ended up together, that leaves behind two gals that could become wives.

Least favorite (non-illegal) lesbian ship: Frostfur x Brindleface. Nothing against it, I just don’t see the vision.

Overrated but good lesbian ship: Bluestar x Yellowfang! Definitely the top lesbian ship in this series, and it’s pretty solid!

Overrated and bad (opinion wise) lesbian ship: I know Foxheart isn’t directly mentioned in arc one, but Yellowfang x Foxheart. I do not like Foxheart and refuse to believe that Yellowfang would ever love her.

Underrated lesbian ship: Yet another Yellowfang ship, Yellowfang x Russetfur! The second Russet joined the clan, I hoped that her and Yellowfang would get more pages together, but alas, it is warrior cats…

Favorite toxic lesbian ship: Violet Dawn x Star Flower. Not toxic in canon, but DEFINITELY has the potential, both being Thunderstar’s crushes. If Star Flower still loved Thunderstar and not his dad when Violet Dawn came along, they might fight for him and then fall in love…take notes fanfic writers…

Favorite doomed lesbian ship: Bumble x Turtle Tail once again…why does Skystar kill every potential for wlw???

Favorite t4t headcanon lesbian ship: tfem Brackenfur x tfem Dustpelt! Of course, warrior cats’ weird thing of making Frostfur Dustpelt’s sister makes this weird, but I’m 99% sure none of you knew that they were related. Remove the relation, perfect.

her name was Marsha P Johnson, and we have her to thank for so much.

remember, the first Pride was a riot, and she was one of the brave souls who endured it to help carve the path which so many of us walk today. she helped found several activist groups regarding LGBT safety and wellbeing. and she was absolutely radiant, too.

Day ONE of filling this with aro and/or ace characters
