Wrote into my first Field Notes yesterday night! Numbered 2.5 since I'm still using the little numbered 2 book I stitched together.

I just can't stop fondling the paper and flipping the empty pages..! Beautiful gorgeous, really tempted to bite into the corner and taste, but I am not a teething baby.

Thanks to Michiganology for having the Harvest edition in stock, I'll have to drive up some day. They had a cool magnet I couldn't resist. $2 trout? $2 stamp? Shrug. I liked the drawing so I drew it too.

my food diary to keep track of what particular foods cause me distress is more scientific than Stanford Pines' Journals

#Gravity Falls #Ford's Journals are soooooo fucking unscientific it's funny #bro really thought drawings and thoughts were enough for a field journal #HE DIDN'T EVEN INCLUDE ANY SCALES IN HIS DRAWINGS #meanwhile my food diary is listing every meal and snack for each day #along with specific ingredients within each meal and snack that may cause me distress #all my symptoms rated on a scale from mild to severe #and also whether the symptoms occurred immediately or were delayed #and anything that may affect the results of the day (such as a temporary medication) noted at the end #I am a SCIENTIST I have done so many different lab books and field journals I'm gonna be THOROUGH about this shit #speecher speaks

here’s a spread in my commonplace notebook! i’m currently using the a6/pocket size leuchtturm1917 dot grid notebook. i was using field notes but wasn’t a big fan of how small they are in terms of how many pages. i like a book that’s a little thicker, so i grabbed this book i had on my shelf for years and just never used and instantly loved this book. we will see how long this one lasts, i end up switching books super often. if you wanna see my other systems/journals let me know! ……i have…..too many books…. 🤧

Thistle Law

The most extreme, violent interpretation of the Warrior Code, initially founded by Thistleclaw near the end of the Campaign Era, with its first implementation defining the beginning of the Slash-and-Burn Period.

One of three distinct Clan ideologies, next to Fire Alone and Traditionalism.

A guide to its origin, the parable associated with it, its principles, and most importantly, my authorial intentions with it in the Bonefall Rewrite. Seen a couple of questions about it, so I think this’ll help clarify.

Origin

Extreme interpretations of the Code go back as far as the founding of the clans themselves, but the roots of Thistle Law trace back to the Exile of SkyClan. Justifying the loss of an entire clan included cracking down on medicine cats and quashing a rebellion, and the ‘clan pride tide‘ added FOUR new laws to the Warrior Code.

The following wars and conflicts in the Chivalric Period further contributed to xenophobic sentiment in the Clans, with each one vying for supremacy over the others, branching out to attack non-Clan cats when there were brief stints of ‘peace’. Thistleclaw merely gave these ideas a name while educating his apprentice, using thistles as a metaphor.

Tigerclaw then went on to tell the story to his clanmates, to his own apprentices, and at gatherings to his future allies who told it to their own clanmates. Though the details of the story changed at times, the takeaway is constant;

Other cats must die, so yours can stay strong.

The Parable of the Thistle

The story goes that Thistleclaw brought Tigerpaw out to a massive, thorny bull thistle. He pointed out that the other plants were dying around it, but the flowers stood tall and proud. Thistleclaw explained the thistle was killing the plants around it to have more room to grow, and then cruelly commanded that Tigerpaw try to destroy it.

By the time it was done, Tigerpaw was covered in scratches and the sun was setting. All the way home, he tried to shake the thistlefluff out of his fur and forget the painful experience. The seasons turned, and one year later when Tigerclaw was a young warrior, Thistleclaw led him down a path lined with young, thorny leaves.

There, in a sea of green spikes, the thistle was standing as tall and as proud as the day Tigerpaw shredded it.

In killing every other plant in the area, the thistle had given itself room to come back stronger. The fluff that clung to Tigerpaw’s fur became new growth. Around them was an entire clearing of thistles, ready to burst into a wall of flowers and seeds.

Thistleclaw asked if Tigerclaw would dare to try again, and remembering how his last battle with the weed ended with scratches as deep as claw marks, admitted that he would rather be a thistle than fight one.

(Little did Ivypaw know, the beautiful field in which she meets Hawkfrost was completely strangled by flowering thistles.)

Principles

Depending on the exact time period and the cat it takes root in, Thistle Law can look different. For examples, Brokenstar’s goal was to drive every Clan out of the forest except ShadowClan, where Tigerstar’s aim was to annex every clan into TigerClan and enforce a standard of purity.

Incarnations of Thistle Law tend to share these principles,

The Code Hardens The calling card of Thistle Law is a stricter, more violent interpretation of the Warrior Code. The harsher laws are emphasized, such as the Law of Loyalty and the Right of the Challenge, while softer ones are downplayed or dropped entirely, like the Law of Honor and the Queen’s Rights.

Extreme Xenophobia Against outsiders, against cats of other clans, against half-clan cats. Thistle Law sets itself apart from Traditionalism for becoming willing to enforce some sort of purity.

Hierarchy Becomes Rigid The social power of medicine cats, deputies, and elders is suppressed. The leader is raised as the ultimate authority, even if that leader isn’t the Clan’s -star.

There Is No ‘Pointless’ Death The Clans are a battle culture, but a good battle is still fought for a reason. When tides turn to Thistle Law, fighting is the goal AND the means. To live is to battle, to kill is to win, and a warrior’s purpose is to die at war.

Each incarnation likely contains each point in varied amounts and tosses other ideas into the mix, but the name of the game remains the same-- and it springs from the taproot of Thistle Law.

Intentions

Thistle Law is what fascism looks like in Clan culture. I approach this using Umberto Eco’s 1995 essay Ur-Fascism as my primary reference. Ur-fascism is a ‘fuzzy‘ concept that looks very different depending on the exact society it springs from, mixing and matching several symptoms in varying degrees of severity.

So, in adapting this, I had to simplify a very complicated topic. I wanted to keep the antifascist theory recognizable, while still following canon events and creating an engaging rewrite.

So for simplicity sake, even if a clan might have technically called their own version of Thistle Law something else, I use this name to address it.

#tw fascism #fascism #politics #Bonefall Rewrite #Thistle Law #Thistleclaw #Tigerpaw #As a side note I really gotta finish this post I have about locations in the Dark Forest #Because I actually plan to make it the inverse of StarClan territory where all the BAD landmarks end up there #Like how StarClan still has fourtrees? The DF has the bonehill #And the thistle field #And the 5th oak #And the old river but the water is always flooded #Hope this clarifies btw feel free to @me with any other questions about thistle law this doesn't make clear #I don't want to get into MORE theories on fascism though btw unless you have a specific rewrite event suggestion #I like Eco's essay because it's easy to reference #I would prefer to spend my time reading more terrible cat books and visit theory at my own pace lmao

Don’t worry about it

#im just thinking about sewing envelopes into booklet spines For Fun… hahaha #zines #god it’s going to be a fucking art book. it’s not going to be a zine. it’s not a zine if you need to go to three different printers #two different printers??? maybe! three? we’re stretching it #field notes from the edge of reality

I was so excited to take this history of black cinema course and learn about all the things the other film courses ignore or leave out regarding film history because it focuses on black people and their very significant impact on Hollywood and film in general, but so far all we've had is white speaker after white speaker talking about how smart and great they are for knowing that black people were involved in film too, talking about their podcasts and the books they're writing on the subject, and I'm wondering how is it that I'm paying so much money for schooling and these speakers and professors are the best they could afford.

#And one of them saying she's not a doctor because she “was too lazy to commit to the doctorate” for her field #Like she couldn't even come up with an excuse lol she just straight up admitted she doesn't care all that much #And my professor being like “I haven't finished my book but I'm making notes for a second edition-” brother shut the fuck up #No one's fucking read your book because it doesn't exist stop assuming we wanna hear everything you have to say bc you're a white man #He thinks he can just throw in a “fuck D.W. Griffiths” (true) into every lecture and it makes him the cool white guy #I'm so tired #Only the third class into the semester and I'm so tired

pictured: books I have consulted so far in the process of this presumed smut fic (currently at 14,000 words, 2/5 chapters, 1/3 sex scenes)

not pictured: me deciding how much dubious historical detail I can and should get away with in this smut fic set in, essentially, Wuxia Times in Ancient China

(on the upside, I've learned many fascinating tea facts and now I want a NiF au where everything is the same but they drink Six Dynasties era tea from historically correct bowls)

(also on the upside, the period is quite friendly to sex between men at least in the upper echelons of society and now I have to work this social aspect into the smut somehow)

#books #the writing life #notes from the field #I remain a parody of myself #I went into the nif pit and I went with a shovel #and rediscovered my reference library on chinese history #which is a little short on the latest scholarship but also #it doesn't seem like there's been a huge amount of new stuff in english #my kingdom for something new on the history of sex and sexuality though #hinsch is good but that book is 30 years old #though I am also hobbled by my interest in the earlier dynasties #there's obviously a lot more written on the later ones

mixed feelings about the robot sex textbook because so far it doesn't seem to be saying much about robots that aren't near-indistinguishable from humans in appearance, but on the other hand it's proving to be extremely quotable, so there's that

#for the curious: the book is 'robot sex: social and ethical implications' edited by danaher & mcarthur #anyway yeah I'm still reading this thing #honestly fair enough that I'm slow here bc this is an academic textbook from a field I know fuckall about lol #very slowly making my way through it bc my day job drains my brain a lot lol #but I am determined to finish reading it and take notes #though it seems to be about a different sort of robofuckery than what I see around here #ah well I'll see how it goes #inverse problem.txt
