🌈 : what's the most 2010s wcforum era esque fandom opinion you still hold onto and will fight people over (things like scourges collar color, dovewings eye color, etc)

gotta be honest lads i was not there in the 2010s wcforums and can't think of anything i would go to war over rn, but here's my take on those specific discourses and some other superficial opinions i have on purely aesthetic details about characters, since i think purely aesthetic details are the most trivial topics you can be weirdly opinionated about

scourge's collar is purple by default but can also be some sort of funny novelty collar or a pride flag or some shit

dovewing's eyes are green by default but anything else is fun and allowed

short squirrelstar gang

longtail is yellow or cream, maybe a pale brown at a stretch, end of discussion

ravenpaw's eyes are not green i don't care what canon says. purple or gold.

cinderpelt cannot be both short-furred and skinny to me. she has to be fluffy or fat or buff or any combination of those things, or even just kinda neutrally cat shaped even. the law

flipclaw is a tiny little guy and he takes after his mum, ivypool, who is also a wee scrawny thing.

i do not give a shit about the crime or whatever of people making characters who are not torties torties i think it's cool as hell, especially if the design still reads clearly as the original character despite that divergence. same goes for swapped around eye colours, or any other changes.

We should bring back silly discourse to fandom, like the color of scourge's collar. (its red, btw.)

I want something to yell about that people don't make into a goddamn moral issue.

Day 8 of villains: Scourge! (We're almost there!) Not much to say about him tbh, he's a pretty iconic character despite only showing up in 4 books, if I remember correctly. Since the collar discourse has kinda died down however I will say I always thought it was purple, but red or simplly blood-stained was an acceptable close 2nd. Since Scourge is so iconic, I didn't want to stray too far from the orginal design, so I just made his white paw look like fire. He is related to Firestar after all. Also I do love how I did the teeth. I didn't get reference for it, but I think it looks good on how sinister and unsettling it looks. Plus I added the hook of where the bell would have been, just a nice detail on who he used to be.

let it be known my opinion on scourge collar discourse is that it can be any color any time in this particular drawing thot red would look good with the eyes so its red but anthyding can hadplen

You mentioned being a warrior cats kid, who's your favorite war kitty? I think I'll always hold a soft spot for Scourge and the stupid discourse about his collar color

Yellowfang is best girl.

Fuck it, bringing back 2012 warrior cats fandom discourse

[cloudsoffire]

my first exposure to fandom discourse was people debating over the color of scourge warrior cats' collar

[the-owl-tree]

i think warriors discourse is the funniest one to want to be involved in. you want to argue about dovewing's eye color? you want to argue about scourge's collar??? why. does that truly look like the pinnacle of fun.

i don't really care if people participate in fandom and haven't read the source material, even if it's a bit strange to me, but i do find it VERY weird (and very annoying) when people who haven't read the source material also want to participate in inane fandom discussion and discourse.

Redesigning characters is FINE. It's FUN. You need to fucking calm down if you think otherwise.

There's nothing wrong with that as long as it's not done to somebody's oc (without consent) or they don't imply it's "fixing" the characters.

Some artists like to see themselves as characters they love, so they'll change their skin colour or body type or ethnicity or something else about them. It's FINE, it's just done for fun, as long as it's not done for clout chasing (often done by people who, for example, are skinny but redesign characters to be fat just to seem progressive) and the artist doesn't say they're "fixing" them it's FINE.

Some media, like animation, are limited in the designs they can portray. Artists don't have the same limitations as animation or movies have, so it's fun to draw characters with more detailed designs! For example, MLP characters partly so simplistic in their design so it'd be easier to animate them, but when you don't have to draw them 25+ times just to make a second of animation then it's fine and FUN to make their designs a little more complex! Sometimes the designs that are intentionally simplistic for animation look boring or flat in drawing because it's a different medium, so artists might want to redesign them slightly so they look better for that specific medium!

HELL, sometimes artists just like having artistic freedom and like to redesign characters because they prefer that type of design choice. Sometimes, like in book series designs, artists like to be more original with their depictions of certain characters. I'm gonna draw Mapleshade as a white cat with black and ginger freckles instead of a mostly black calico, who the fuck cares!

IT'S NOT A BAD THING.

really miss the days when the most intense discourse I heard was about what color Scourge’s collar was

[warriorstrivia]

Scourge's collar is so dirty that you can't tell what color it is

[warriorcatsofficialfacts]

broke: doing discourse over the wiki changing the pride flag on fury's collar (stupid, lame, gay man scourge baby fury is the funniest thing that website has ever done)

WOKE: doing discourse because they took away her neon orange eye
