So I just finished the Stolen Heir (yea ik I was early to the cruel prince but late to tsh bc I had the book and then lost it 😭anyways i’m finished now soo)

So now of course I’m thinking of all my fav faerie princes in the holly-cassie faerieverse

And wondering if when we meet Kit again in TLKOF if he’s gonna be in his Oak Greenbriar era

As in sticking his neck out as a target so they come for him first and not his family

And when he meets up with Dru it’s gonna be like:

Dru: wtf kit how’d you get that jagged scar on your shoulder?

Kit: oh that was just last weeks assassin, lil faerie guy but fierce, took a chunk out of me before I beat him

Dru: What?! Kit!!!

Kit: yea I wasn’t worried with that one. They did come close to poisoning me though. When I was getting coffee on my way to school, the barista must’ve been a glamoured faerie or smth, but I wasn’t paying attention and took my drink. But they’ve gotta try harder I mean— they really think I wouldn’t know what that poison smells like after growing up at the shadowmarket HA!

Dru: woah— you were almost poisoned?!

Kit: yeah! Annoying right— I was so looking forward to my coffee and then I had to go take my math test first thing uncaffeinated !!

Dru: I—

Finally I get an ad on tumblr relevant to my interests.

(I collect reborn dolls)

But uh

The website is a scam. It’s full of pictures of real babies and stolen dolls from other stores.

Glad tumblr is so vigilant about checking up in their advertisers. 🥰

y'know Copperpaw killing Spottedleaf and then naming himself Copperleaf is a really cool concept and im sad it doesnt really fit into the btr timeline correctly

[ofstarsandmoonlightt]

What is it with hags in fantasy books to always gather people around and start telling stories? Like Mother Hawthorne in Ghosts of the Shadow Market; the Thistlewitch; and then Bogdana!

Like they’re these dangerous witches of old and are like: Come kids, story time~~~

Kit Stolen (Anachrønaut)

[pika-blur]

spoilers for the last fang the hunter thang but i like the fact that the one thing that starline did that was completely his own thing separate from eggman is Not That anymore kjahdjkash

As much as I love Arc 1/The Prophecies Begin, I wish that more had been done with Brokenstar. He was sort of a threat in Into the Wild/Fire and Ice (though obviously never being the main villain of the arc) and then he was blinded & held prisoner by Thunderclan and all that really happened to him after that was getting poisoned by his mom

Like, in the first book we learn that under Brokenstar's leadership, Shadowclan drove out Windclan and also stole kits from Thunderclan. We could've had at least mentions of kits from the other clans (& probably outside of the clans, too) going missing more often, revealed later to have been stolen by Shadowclan.

Plus you're telling me the baby stealers drove out an entire clan and didn't steal even one baby? Did Windclan just not have any kits at the time? (I think there was at least one kit in Windclan during Fire and Ice, but I can't remember who it was exactly. I think it was Gorsekit/paw but I could be wrong)

Shadowclan could've stolen some kits from Windclan while driving them out and then after Fireheart & Graystripe brought Windclan back, we could've had some sort of plot going on in at least the background about Windclan wanting those kits back. From what little we got of Nightstar, I feel like he probably would've given them back (if anything to avoid a war, since Shadowclan wasn't in the best state at the time)

You can't just introduce the fact that Brokenstar apprentices kits way too young and is perfectly willing to steal kits and then not really do much with that

Because if you keep killing basically all of your baby warriors, eventually you are going to run out of babies to make into warriors. I personally feel like it would make more sense if Brokenstar had stolen kits more than just the one time from Thunderclan. (Probably mostly stolen from cats outside of the clans)

Also they didn't really do a lot with him when he was Thunderclan's prisoner. I kind of wish we had gotten to see him interact a bit more with other cats. Possibly more foreshadowing of Tigerclaw's whole thing with the rogues that Brokentail had worked with. More interactions between him & Yellowfang

Listen I just think that he was interesting in concept, even if there was barely anything done with him. Despite being the first villain we're actually introduced to as a villain, he wasn't even the main villain of the two books he caused problems in, considering that it becomes clear in the first book that Tigerclaw/star is going to be the actual main villain of the arc

i haven't posted in a while & don't have much of an update, except to say that i was genuinely, strongly considering if i should wash Mischa - his anxiety in public spaces* isn't any better, though we also haven't done as much actual training as we should have (when we go someone, e.g. the supermarket, we're there to shop, not to train. but i really gotta make time to go there for training as well!). but he always surprises me - even though he's clearly not happy to be there, he's extraordinarily well behaved (except sometimes for some leash pulling...), and always does really well.

we've finally joined our local dog training club (now that we've moved and have access to one), we had our first session last week. we haven't been to a dog training class since puppy school, so i expected Mischa to be distracted and a pain, but he was so focused and did so well! the last ~5 minutes he was getting a bit antsy, but i'd run out of treats lol. and normally when we go to the dog park (where training is), it's to play and run around with other dogs, not to sit quietly and learn for 45 minutes. so i was very impressed!

(the training class is definitely too easy for us - sit, stay down, etc. - but i wanted to start with things we already know because its such a different environment than we're used to. i'm glad we did, i think we'd be ready to move up to the next class (Good Citizen) soon, but i think it's best to ease into it).

all that is to say, i'm more confident now that, with the exception of his anxiety, there's no real reason to wash. not at this stage, anyway. i'm moving interstate next year to go to uni, and i really, really want to be able to bring Misch with me. i just stayed for 2 weeks interstate for surgery, and i left Mischa with my dad because i knew i wouldn't be able to exercise him, and it was really hard! by the end of the 2 weeks i kept dreaming that when i got home he didn't recognise me anymore 😭. so if 2 weeks is that hard, i don't want to try 5 years!

*when i say 'public spaces' i mean things like shops, indoor malls, etc., not just out on the street or whatever. he's shy and doesn't like strangers, so i think a big part of that is the overwhelming, lots of people environment. (i get it, it makes me anxious too lol). but that said, he also doesn't like being in shops when we're the only people there - just the other day we went to a pet shop, we were the only customers, and all we did was walk around sniffing things and rewarding, but Misch was still very glad to leave.

my only solution i can think of is to keep training, gradual desensitisation, short visits only. but that's hard when you have limited energy - choosing between going to the shop for 10 minutes to train, therefore helping both Mischa and I for the long run, but feeling like i've "wasted" a trip (and energy) by not going shopping. or, going to the shop to do actual shopping, helping myself in the short term (by being able to eat lol), but overwhelming Mischa and using up all my energy for the day. i know that the long term solution is the better one, because it means eventually we can go to the shop to actually shop, and Mischa won't be overwhelmed because we did all this training. but the short term solution is also a necessity - i need to buy food to survive lol. (most of the time, i just leave Mischa in the car when I shop. we're not at a point where I can manage shopping (overwhelming and exhausting for me) and training a nervous dog at the same time). (i remember someone saying once that an ADiT becomes an AD when they're no longer a hindrance, but a help. at this stage, Mischa is still a hindrance!).

no one really talks about the struggles of training a dog when you're disabled, even though that's the whole reason why we have assistance animals!

elves canonically have cat glow eyes!! delicious finally some good extended universe lore.

[friendsforanotherday]

[arolesbianism]

Thinking abt my dst swap au again it's so messed up that I can't just talk about hypothetical character kits 24/7 and actually have to make a plot that some characters are more or less relevant in because all I wanna do is talk about Wilba and Wortox kits cause they're silly goofy goobers

[graysongraysoff]

splatoon players!

im wondering what some of your dream kits are if you want, you can reblog and post them :] ill go first:

the burst bomb could also be a splat bomb. chances of this happening? none probably one can dream... [also, if i could have reefslider on it, i would. but that isnt ever happening- [because the vanilla kit already has reefslider, i like autobomb though so its fine]]
