Hey so... important thingy real quick pertaining to sharing f/os.
I get it- sharing f/os can be hard for some folks. Whether you get self conscious, jealous, nervous abt it, etc etc. I totally understand- I can open up here and admit that I get really self conscious and a little nervous when I see people who ship with the f/os I am uncomfortable sharing or have selective sharing with. However, that's a normal thing to feel, and you shouldn't feel bad about it at all! It's okay to be sad, or anxious, or jealous, or anything else along those lines. That's why we block and move on, and try not to let those negative feelings hurt us too heavily.
That being said, when it becomes NOT okay, is when you're posting on any of your blogs about wanting people who ship with your f/os dead. Or posting about wanting to cause bodily harm to other self-shippers. Oooor posting about said f/o harming other shippers. Or anything under that umbrella.
Seriously. I feel like it's already pretty obvious that you should never do that in the first place, but those who don't care and want to actively participate in said behavior should just stay in their own damn circle- away from the people who aren't harming anyone; who are just shipping and minding their own business.
We absolutely do not need those kinds of people running around and literally wishing death on folks, whether they think they're being sneaky about it or not. Nobody deserves to die for the 'crime' of loving the same character as someone else.

Ngl im kinda pissed at wwdits' continued erasure of Nandor's iranian origins. They keep calling him an ottaman soldier without mentioning his iranian roots. They call his country a madeup name and have given him a non-iranian name. They have nandor speak farsi but the fandom just keeps saying Alqulanadorese as if farsi isn't a real language. They even give nandor persian-themed outfits but they don't talk about the references as if its supposed to be a secret that only iranian people would know. It doesn't help that kayvan doesn't say anything about Nandor's iranian background and cultural influences. I think now more than any other time iranians need to be seen and heard. And i love wwdits with all my heart for giving us an iranian character but...barely anyone watching the show actually knows he's supposed to be iranian and that really hurts.

Hi im putting warrior cats into my oc world!! Some notes: any animal can have some random other features but i mostly default to wings or horns because i like the way they look. They can be genetic but sometimes it just happens too. There is never two elementals of the same element at once, so when Brokensun died another elemental of war was born somewhere else, and later died at the same time as Lionblaze's birth. Vampirism on SOL rarely leaves the Wasteland (which is across the continent) but sometimes it pops up in the Green where the clans live, mostly in places the canopy is especially thick. Vampirism is both something that spreads and a mutation that just happens. Prophets come in three types: past, present, and future and they have visions of their respective directions. I wanted Dovewing to also be an elemental but present prophet just fit too well. All prophets cry blood, thats not just a Dovewing thing. the reason the leaders are called sun instead of star is below cut along with some other explanations
Problems that I needed to solve:
1. No humans:
SOL's humans went extinct a looong time ago, so Firesun's (Firestar) origins need to be changed dramatically. The elements that need to be kept include a coddled life, looked down upon by the clans, but something he can leave at the drop of a hat. My main idea is that "kittypets" are from civilizations that have buildings and economies and such, which makes the clan cats think their lives are soft unfulfilling. I'm just going to say there's another group of cats that's more like an actual town instead of a clan that Firesun's from. The clans go out of their way to not interact with this town and the town does the same.
2. No nighttime/moon/stars
Yeah this one's big. Here are my general changes:
StarClan -> SunClan
Star suffix -> sun suffix
Names with night or moon must be changed
SunClan cats become clouds instead of stars
Gatherings take place every thirty days. Days on SOL are split in two just like ours, but they're both different daytimes for the two different suns.
Sunstone/Sunpool (Moonstone/Moonpool) meetings are determined in the same way.
3. The Afterlife Problem
Lastly, the existence of afterlives was something I struggled with fitting into the world, but ultimately it can fit, it just needs to be tweaked a little. SOL generally doesn't have provable afterlives, but because StarClan is so important to warrior cats, I decided I can work something out. Ghosts on SOL only stick around when they wholeheartedly believe they have to for some reason (unfinished business and all that), so the SunClan cats believe they should be in SunClan after death so hard that it just happens. The Dark Forest works in a similar way. I'm letting the leaders have their nine lives because magic. It's still mostly about belief though. Cats that don't believe in SunClan don't go there.
