#catrafictive

A strange number of our fictives have cats as some important part of their canon lives! Catra and Finn are catfolk (both from She-Ra), Adora (She-Ra) and Paris (Hazbin Hotel, “Angel Dust”) are in love with catfolk, and Rose (Homestuck) has a…weird little cat guide thing? (We aren’t that far in the comic lol, dunno the sprites’ full functions or purpose in the story yet! But they seem important!!)

It’s weird! And kinda fun! We sure are collectively cat people :) not in the same way Catra and Finn are, but the way that regular humans are cat or dog people hehe

hi, for the canon scholars prompt:

I was raised in a military compound. most of my education focused around physical training, or functional skills (wilderness survival, vehicle control, stuff like that). mental skills were barely touched on—I learned to write and read and do basic math. that’s it. kids outside of the orphan care program were allowed to pick more specialized fields, some became Horde engineers or construction workers, you know, the things to keep everything running in the background. the orphans, of which I was one, only got one path, though: frontline fodder.

the other kids sucked and the “mentors” did too. I hated them so much. constantly excluded, made fun of, escalating to physical abuse sometimes…excluding the physical things, it feels the same way in this universe. which sucks. however, I think I can handle the social failures better than my headmates. I’ve gone through it before. but I think I’m worse in the actual school part of this universe’s…schooling. where’s the sparring circles, hello? the weapons? the commands? no, instead it’s lectures and taking notes and writing essays. it feels really weird.

I do like it better than the Fright Zone, though. that shit hurt me in a way I’ll never be able to put into words. the only thing I wish I kept was my physical aptitude.
