some more wc au lore! the black lion fulfills the role of starclan in this universe but its a bit diffrent from canon wc. instead of SC being just ancestors communicating with living cats, its instead a sentient amalgamation of said ancestors and functions as one whole being. whenever a clan cat dies their life essence (you could even say... their QUINTESSENCE......) joins the amalgamation, fusing with all the other souls. theres also SOME sort of a prophecy going on here, its propably something about swift and his gaggle of apprentices defeating The Witch (honerva) and freeing the captured cats with the help of a twoleg (allura<3)
...or something. still figuring stuff out this might all change lol
(also the first pic was my first attempt at a black lion design and thats why it looks diffrent from the others lmao)

Recently started watching White Collar! More interesting than its reputation gives it credit for, but if the network were being at all honest with us, Mozzie would be trans and either a furry, a drag queen, or both

I didn't know black people any had writing systems in Africa before colonialism so that's really cool
Yes, there were several. Notably, Ge'ez from Ethiopia like my other reblog:
Bassa Vah, developed by the Bassa people in what is now the West African country of Liberia (and which narrowly avoided extinction at the end of the nineteenth/early twentieth century):
The Nsibidi writing system in Nigeria:
And the Meroitic script in Kush:
And these are just the ones I personally know of. I also feel it necessary to add that a lot of writing was also done in Arabic or with separate writing systems derived from Arabic due to centuries-long contact with the Islamic world and the spread of Islam in Africa.

Anthony van Dyck (1599-1641)
"Saint Rosalia interceding on behalf of the plague victims of Palermo" (1624)
Oil on canvas
Baroque
Located in the Menil Collection, Houston, Texas, United States
Rosalia (1130–1166), also called La Santuzza, or "The Little Saint," and in Sicilian as "Rusulia", is the patron saint of Palermo in Italy, Camargo, Chihuahua, and three towns in Venezuela: El Hatillo, Zuata, and El Playon.
She is especially important internationally as a saint invoked in times of plague.
In 1624, a plague beset Palermo. During this hardship Rosalia reportedly appeared first to a sick woman, then to a hunter, to whom she indicated where her remains were to be found. She ordered him to bring her bones to Palermo and have them carried in procession through the city. The hunter climbed the mountain and found her bones in the cave as described. He did what she had asked in the apparition. After her remains were carried around the city three times, the plague ceased. Rosalia was then venerated as the patron saint of Palermo, and a sanctuary was built in the cave where her remains were discovered.
Her post-1624 iconography is dominated by the work of the Flemish painter Anthony van Dyck, who was trapped in the city during the 1624–1625 quarantine.
