#atwri

hm. i think i'm good with emotions. i think i do a good job at writing and conveying emotions. it's like. the reason i write. and i think i do a good job of it.

went around digging for something (a) i haven't posted and (b) that i can share, and found this. maybe not my best example, but it's a sweet scene:

Stonefur purrs softly next to her, his eyes closed and content. Tigerstar’s tail fits around them both, and if it bothers Stonefur, he doesn’t say anything.

Leopardstar slots between them, Stonefur’s face pressed into her chest and Tigerstar’s nose against her neck. Stonefur’s limbs snake around her, and she nuzzles the back of his neck. “I love you,” she murmurs.

“Love you too.” Stonefur yawns. “You can’t complain when I wake you up in the morning.”

“I absolutely can,” she sniffs. “I’ve earned my rest.”

“I haven’t?”

“Are you a leader?”

Stonefur growls in a weak, mocking protest. “I love you too much to want that.”

i think they're sweet.

like i'm just generally. proud of my ability to write about how people interact. i like that i write a lot of scenes where i don't describe how anyone feels but you know. i think i do a good job of that.

(bonus! atwri excerpt below the cut. there are spoilers, but if you know how i like to end stories, they shouldn't be that surprising.)

if anyone wants advice on writing cat bdsm my asks (and dms) are open. i try to keep this blog to a reasonable level of "arguably pg-13 if you squint" (don't laugh <3), so i direct most kink talk to my main (@fencesandfrogs), but if it's warriors related then u've given me an excuse <3

ik atwri is a big one here but it kinda focuses on a really specific dynamic. i'm pretty happy with it but also i found ONE article describing what i was going for. (i'm sure i could find more, but frankly there's not a lot of content in the realm of "looks pretty, gets taken care of." at least not in the way i want. *rubs temple*)

alcides is just. stonefur's in it for the service. that is the reward. certainly make their scenes easier to write. i don't have to constantly hunt down ideas. i'm just like "okay damn what's something stonefur can do for leopardstar? cool and the whole time she's just watching and he's just happy to do it for her."

anyway not to get terribly personal but when i'm attracted to someone one of my running thoughts is "i want to get on my knees in front of you" so i'm just writing what i know

is that still common writing advice?

Tigerstar falters. Nightshade can see him come to an understanding. But just as soon, his eyes go hard again. “If you’re so concerned, I suggest you don’t let her end up in those situations,” he says, but his voice is flat, and Nightshade counts it as a victory.

“How do you expect I do that if you refuse to punish who’s responsible?”

His tail flicks. “Keep her with you if must,” he says. “And…I’ll remind cats not to bother her.

.

"We have our own den now," Nightshade says. "Do you need me to explain?"

Stonefur shifts. "I'm, uh, not..."

"Let me say it straight. Within the confines of our den, I do not intend to moderate how I interact with Mistyfoot. If you come in, you accept that."

"I feel like I'm going to regret asking this," he mutters. "But what exactly am I potentially witnessing?"

and for something a bit more plotty...

darkstripe: i am going to bully her

Mistyfoot answer the door. It's obvious Nightshade dressed her — the deep red and bare midriff of the skin tight sweater isn't like what Mistyfoot usually wears. Well. She assumes Mistyfoot dresses herself. That might not be true. Either way, the color of her sweater, the way her skirt is a deep, fluid black, covering her knees but spinning when she walks, it's all a claim. Nightshade has always liked beautiful things.

everything else is going under a cut. nothing nsfw.

i'm really confused about what made you think that (/gen), but no, it's not.
