i guess Sonic stuff, lols; are there other ships in Sonic you like? and/or what do you like bout the ships, specifically?

if you want you can do Megaman as well

oh okay sonic stuff

like i said i thought that there was potential for sonic and fiona in the archie comics

i dont remember much i'll have to reread it but i really thought they were gonna have something the dynamic of fiona and sonic was really well to me minus the tails situation

i would have actually liked them to stay together maybe sally would have found nothing about scourge because honestly thats what messed it up

(i dont really like scourge)

what i liked about it was how chill they both were, there was potential for sonic to even help fiona with her anxiety (i remember her hating being alone almost to the point of anxiousness i dont remember if thats true but im putting it in cause thats a head canon)

they could have had it all

for another ship

i have these two sonic ocs Dalas and Ciel

Dalas is a really playful nice guy who goes about his daily life and one day he somehow meets this really cool lady from another dimension she doesnt speak cause shes almost mute (by choose but she talks like a real tiny bit very rare times just one word probably)

anyway she wants to get back home doesnt like him but thats the only help shes got so he figured out that she comes from another place and tries to help her but all attempts fail he starts developing the feelings for her cause shes really cute to him but he kinda just throws those feelings down cause thats out of his league

he does get her home somehow but when shes gone he feels so lonely without her his brother darrel wants to believe him but this sounds so wacky he cant bring himself to believe this story

maybe like a month or so? later she gets sent back needs help getting home again searches him out once again Dalas can see her again so they probably have to find another way to get her home this happens periodically but not like everyday sometimes the time spans from 2-3 months before she gets stuck in his world

she also kinda starts developing the feelings for him and i think its really cute i have drawn some stuff on paper for it a long long LONG time ago this is like my favorite sonic ship my two ocs who just want say it

here is some picture of them cause i luv them

last picture @ssxdz2

love themmmmmmmmm

warriors discourse time (tw: animal death, q word, patriarchy, sexism, caps, bad language)

hey anon!! i completely, completely agree with you. 

the number of lgbtq+/mogai-coded cats, both she-cats and toms, is mindblowing. there are so many! there is so much potential! and yet those identities are reserved for either villains or for cats who are killed off, as you mentioned. 

your mention of Tigerstar makes me think of Scourge, who was always described as having a ‘high-pitched’ voice and having gone through a literal lifetime of bullying & abuse. i do not sympathize with him in any way, but! but. the “high pitched” voice thing has long been theorized among lgbtq+ circles to be a way of stereotyping and othering gay folx. so you’re right about non cishet-coded cats being kind of pushed aside. 

when it comes to gender roles, even the names tend to be gendered. and there’s no reason for gendered names in this universe! at all! she-cat/molly names like Daisy, or Hollyleaf (luv her btw), or Leafpool, or Goldenflower, are much more common than tougher sounding +  gender neutral ones, ie Bluestar/Sandstorm/Cinderheart/Yellowfang. 

meanwhile, toms get names like Firestar, Brambleclaw, Tigerstar/claw, Lionblaze, and on and on. they get names that sound tough or neutral. which speaks to how the Erins actually view the she-cats/mollies in their universe. a she-cat is not as good a fighter, or a hunter, or a clan member, apparently, because they’re not as tough. 

i also don’t like how they treat disability. of course living in the wild, it can’t really make much sense for, say, a cat who’s lost their back leg function to still be a warrior. physically they are not able to do fight like an able bodied warrior, but are they useless? No! can they provide insight into what they’re dealing with? yeah! can they be medicine cats? yeah! can they be advisors to their leaders? yeah! can they be mediators? yeah, probably! there is so much disabled cats can do, and yet... look at what happened to Briarlight. Blossomfall was a massive ableist for being mad that Millie was upset about her sister’s disability... and the Erins showed Big Ableism by not having Blossomfall confront & unlearn her own ableism. 

and the sexism! omfg, the sexism! oof eek yikes! the names thing is a sexism issue, of course. yet. sexism was the driving force behind Bluestar’s Prophecy! why couldn’t she still go for the deputy position while being pregnant or raising her kits? the gestation period for cats is not that long, so would it really be a massive deal for someone to help her during that time... and then for her to take over as full deputy? i mean???? 

that and we see the she-cats suffer more, in general, than toms do when they get into half-clan relationships, with one exception being Graystripe. and even in that example, we see his suffering more than we see Silverstream’s. almost as if his pain matters more  because he’s a tom. hmm. 

i really was bothered that they didn’t let Ivypool be lesbian or aroace. i was bothered that, despite her initial discomfort with the idea of having kits (and even outright repulsion), they had her “get over it” and get a mate. that reminds me uncomfortably of the “oh she just needs some pp” thing that men do when women are in bad moods/upset. 

ahhh, there’s also the casual kitty xenophobia! the kittypet blood thing. i can understand why kittypets wouldn’t be allowed in clans that have to be as physically strong, fit, and used to nature as possible to survive outside. but .i don’t get why the clans have to despise kittypets’ very existence. live and let live. i guess that’s too much of a difficult concept for these authors to grasp. 

i shall also be pirating or borrowing my warriors books from now on, because i still enjoy the stories overall. but it really is nasty how much minority-coded cats are pushed aside and not allowed to be actual characters. 

i don’t think i need to say a single word  on the exclusion of nonbinary folx... the erins know animals can be born intersex, right? and if these cats are humanized, fantasy cats... then they can have gender identity, they know that, right???

let’s all just remember that we need to consume our media critically. and, as anon said, no work is ever going to be 100% free of problematic content. 

just because someone enjoys a work that has problems... doesn’t mean the person thinks those problems are good things. 

but! steer clear of people who like a ton of problematic sources, because that is a sign of their refusal to recognize the problems.
