Steve and Robin: *talking about when they were tortured but specifically in a way that makes them sound like they’re complaining about working customer service*

Dustin: Can you please take being tortured by Russians seriously?

Everybody else at this party:

Everybody else: I’m sorry, what?

curlfeather spends her childhood pretending not to fear the elders tales of tigerstars reign over riverclan, about how noble riverclan was left with no other choice but to submit or die. what else could they do? these stories are heard less frequently as she gets older, and by the time she has her full name the stories about tigerclan are replaced by those of the great battle. reedwhisker trains her to put her clan above all else. the good of the clan always comes first. your clan are your kin. in their rare moments alone, she listens to an aging mistyfar wistfully recall her brothers bravery at bonehill, a sacrifice not many are old enough to remember. curlfeather has never heard anyone mention stonefur before, so she sits in silence as mistystar mourns, and at her young age decides that this is how she wants to be remembered. this is what a riverclan cat is supposed to be. curlfeather was raised to believe that riverclan is something to be proud of, something to fight for. your clanmates come first. riverclan is virtuous. riverclan is selfless. riverclan is pure. her father tells her as much. talks of tigerclan resurface when darktail comes around, spoken in hushed voices inside cramped dens. curlfeather wonders why no one seems to be doing anything about it until her father finally stands up to darktail himself. and he loses. days pass, more cats give in, and curlfeather is silent as an emaciated reedwhisker finally concedes and pledges his loyalty. she can only watch as he repeats himself, louder, again and again and again. she watches him slink away, head down, and she thinks of stonefur

Eurylochus really hit him with the “But we’ll die 🥺” after everything he did. Love him for that.

(it's not no longer you)

And what about you God? Couldn't you have been more gentle to me?

My entire musical taste revolves around these two. I'm not complaining; I love listening to it with edits

Penelope of Sparta remains unphased by her husband's war crimes.

i think squirrel & leaf deserve to get a little unhealthily codependent with it. they love and adore each other more than anything in the whole world, and they are the only people who will ever know each other truly and completely. but. they are the center to each others universe. everything they do, they do it for each other. leafpool is not leafpool without her sister. squirrelflight is not squirrelflight without her sister, not really. do they ever... resent that ? even just a little bit? that they will be forever so intertwined? even if they wanted to leave (they dont) they never could. leafpool died and wrenched squirrelflights personhood away from her. left her to rot on the ground. even though they promised they could never go on without the other, leafpool died and squirrelflight kept living. inseparable until the end of time, but a quiet part of leafpool cant help but wonder how squirrel is even carrying on when she knows she never could. nothing in the world could drive them apart. they both wouldnt have it any other way.

warrior cats wasn’t planned in advance so i know this scene wouldn’t have been possible when dangerous path was written but god fucking damn would i have killed for a scene where tigerstar is standing over bluestar, murderous and heaving, and bluestar is looking back up at him wild-eyed and angry, before a moment of clarity hits her and she says in a very low voice, so quiet that tigerstar can barely hear it: i’m sorry that i didn’t protect you from thistleclaw. i kept everyone else safe from him but you.

erin hunter never dug deeper than half an inch into the emotions of their characters but one of the most conceptually gut wrenching scenes for me in the books is honeyferns death, where leafpool is staring at cinderheart hoping, praying, that some bit of cinderpelts wisdom and guidance will surface and tell her what to do so she can save honeyfern, and cinderheart is staring back at leafpool wondering why she can’t save her sister

here are some doodles for will’s birthday <3

Ugly crying

I just listened to epic the musical in one go

just finished epic the musical, I think my brain chemistry has been permanently altered

and i would lie to you again. and again and again, even if you hate me for it.

NEVER get into anything thats heavy on color symbolism bro . for months you will not be able to look at the color blue without instantly thinking of Squingle Dinglus

And you can't make this up

when u wanna break up with your deadbeat husband but your god ships both of you to fulfill a prophecy that was forced upon you

i dedicated my life to you and all you've ever done is punish me for it

WHY DO THE PAGES HAVE A FUR TEXTURE

LITERALLY WHO ASKED FOR THIS

can we talk about the potential of hollytuft as a character. like imagine being named after your aunt who murdered someone, told your grandma to commit suicide, then ran off into a cave and died but didn't actually die, came back in the dark forest battle and sacrificed herself for your dad's prophecy friend's sister. oh, also your dad was in a prophecy and your mom used to have the reincarnated soul of another cat in her body. like how would you even process that

"remember when 30 seemed so old now lookin' back, its just a steppin stone to where we are, where we've been said we'd do it all again remember when"

Hollypaw asks Brackenfur about the warrior code.

Was going through my old middle school playlist and rediscovered this gem

Dare I say.. BYLER??

Yes, I had a really intense country phase, hush. I'm from Texas. What do you expect?

I mean...

Byler this, mileven that. you know what I really want from season five?

I want the Duffers to explain exactly HOW THE FUCK will disappeared.

Because it's been haunting me for years and it still doesn't make sense.

the neurodivergent experience:

20% of the time: wowwieee!!! i love my passions and interests!!!!! they make me so happy i want to jump up and down!!!!! weee!!!!!!! :3333333333

80% of the time: this mind is a prison

While my knowledge of the current series is extremely limited(gained only from youtube videos..) I decided to listen to an audiobook of Ivypool's Heart and felt inspired to try designing some of the main characters! They could definitely use some work but I had fun!!

Could you do Squirrelstar? :)

Squilf my beloved !!! I love her so much, absolute DIVA of thunderclan !! Also named Roxanne ( that's such a good name for her you litteraly can never change my mind,, only if you give her the name Rebecca in which case I'd agree. Rebecca is such a power fem name <3) I already designed her a few years ago and damn, her design made her so petite and fluffy ! Hell nah, not MY squilf !! She fluffy but spiky and a stronk warrior !!!!!!

The Byler fandom for the past 24 hours

Basically summing up the last 2 days
