#Kit stealing

[bonefall]

Were stolen kits renamed or did they generally keep the names they were born with? Or were there not any huge rules surrounding that?

Renamed, in a small ceremony by the Cleric, ordained by StarClan. Their new parent chose the names, and would make a vow to enfold them into their kin. Symbolically, it is announced that their birth parents failed to be worthy of them, and calls upon StarClan to shine upon the rightful guardians of these kits.

The new parent, auncles, and siblings would generally be present or nearby at this ceremony.

These words would also end up getting used if there was ever a situation where kits were being taken in a case of neglect or abuse. They're holy words for StarClan to "change" a parent, showing respect to them for their initial choice but beseeching them to witness that their chosen guardians failed their duties.

Love your bg3 comics! I hope you don’t mind some world/lore building questions!

I was wondering why Kit looks so much more like Dorian than Astarion, and it got me thinking about how vampire genetics work. Do you think that the only physical traits that get passed down are ones from before becoming a vampire? That said, what do you think Astarion looked like before he was turned, and did Kit inherit any of those traits?

i think that would make sense!! i feel like pre-vampire astarion probably looked about the same but less pale and gaunt (personally i hc that he just went grey really early and i’m also in the brown-eyed astarion club)

honestly though, the real reason kit didn’t get anything from astarion is because the redleaf genes are too strong and they all look exactly the same

(he still got the teeth and the fluffy hair though)

#ramble #bg3 #dadstarion #dorian comes from a family of sentient photocopiers #kit could still have astarion’s eyes though in this case #i think he inherited more personality than looks #he’s an introvert and likes to steal things #also i just realised his little outfit in the last one is the perfect dorian/astarion combo #the big poofy shirt with the knitted vest

thinking about how the only thing to bring joy to Yellowfang's life was fire and cinder and how that's also the last thing she ever saw

#warriors #warrior cats #wc #thunderclan #yellowfang #starclan did everything in their power to make her life awful #giving her an evil son that she couldnt even raise #and the power to feel others pain #and having her framed for stealing kits #fireheart #firepaw #cinderpaw #cinderpelt #firestar #illustration #art #character design

#kirby #daily kirby #my art #digital #hal laboratory #nintendo #so like aliexpress used to have a terrible reputation in terms of like quality and truth in advertising and such right #but like. amazon and etsy are swamped with bootleggers and dropshippers now too #so I figured like. can't be any worse right? #besides I know how to double check descriptions and measurements and examine images critically #I've shopped shady sites before like back when banggood was the only place to get those cute diy miniature kits #(now you can get them at regular craft store chains which is Wild to me) #but I have never opened aliexpress because everyone was always just like 'Never Go There' #(but then again these days folks are doing massive temu hauls left and right) #(so clearly norms have changed even if common perception of aliexpress has not) #I open it up and I immediately find the rug I spent an entire day hunting for unsuccessfully earlier in the month. #and a ton of incredible bootleg kirbs. #and a style of hair clip I've been hunting for for *years*. #soooo I spent the entire day in a pastel fugue lol #(I have not spent any money yet but I'm probably gonna) #(so like I can't confirm that you're not gonna get scammed or whatever just like. use common sense.) #(don't trust sale prices read descriptions/reviews when available and try to avoid work stolen from independent artists) #(that's usually gonna be on printed stuff like phone cases and posters) #(and tbh I have no qualms with stolen official art as long as the quality is as advertised) #(but there's a big difference between stealing from Multinational Corporation and stealing from Some Guy) #anyway done rambling now <3 #favorites

Mace *blinks and re-reads the sign*: Uh no this sign is from a bar? About half off drinks??

Qui-Gon *inputting the co-ordinates of the bar*: A truely compelling sign.

Kit *turning the speeder around*: Has me convinced.

Plo *shrugs*: Completely convincing.

Do Birch and Alder ever learn of what happened to Misty? Actually, how would stolen kits (I feel like there’s an actual term for this but I forgot) throughout clan history in general feel about their… stolenness (I mean, that is if they ever learned about it) sorry if this is worded poorly hah

There was an old word for Stolen Kits before its outlawing; Honor Child. Kurrnia in Clanmew. They are not called that word anymore.

Through history it was a very bloody thing. Those children got harshly indoctrinated, and the "6 month" apparentice age originally came because that was thought to be the "age of loyalty".

that's just a cutesy way of saying it's harder to brainwash teenagers than children, by the way. To the point where it's not worth it to try.

When Birch and Alder found out, they're going to be old enough to get the "justifications." That they were won fairly, their mother was threatening them, that they were "saved." Petal Claw is the only parent they've ever known at that point... so, they were happy to take those excuses.

I don't think it lasted forever. I want them to both eventually leave SkyClan and find their dad, who desperately misses Misty. BUT, I want one to remain.

Because, that individual is going to get used as an excuse for why Kit Claiming is a viable solution to the Law of Loyalty later. The others are ignored.

In the Code Era and beyond, it's an accepted part of their culture. It's something talked about openly, framed as being taken by STRONGER warriors. Why would you go back to someone who was too weak to keep you?

That would be a terrible choice, so they say, because then you would be part of a worse Clan. It's a normalized part of their culture. So it's very rare that a Stolen Kit ever went back.

One less warrior for them. One more warrior for us.

This is as psychologically damaging as you think it is. "Honor Children" were notoriously violent to prove their loyalty. Their birth family would suffer guilt and pain for years, seeing them as adults and apprentices of other Clans, often stealing from other Clans themselves to fill empty nests and assure their own worth as warriors.

Parents and kits would die in these events. Kits trying to get home, parents laying down their lives to stop raids. Darkstar herself lost a sister, Aspentail, and still had two out of three of her nespring stolen. Only Perchpaw remained.

It was a long, bloody period in their history. The Queen’s Rights started a new era.

Fire Alone cats don't think it went far enough.

#clan culture #better bones au #Tw child abuse #Tw indoctrination #Kit stealing #I feel like I've tried to stress how horrible this was before but I'm not sure if it's landed. It was sick. #It was absolutely awful #And if you look closely at the fabric of modern clan culture you will still see its influence #Its scars and its shape. #Not every consequence is all bad. But the majority of it is and no one is better off for the practice

I love that the first thing we see from Top of the Waterfall gang is Jade and Graydon running for the edge. They really said “no thoughts only love”.

Two seconds later when we were with Elora and Kit I had to then turn to my roommate who I had just explained the above to and say “this is proof that Jade and Graydon are the braincell owners in their relationships”

#willow 2022 #in all honesty #Willow is the only one with working braincells #it’s just sometimes Graydon and Jade are able to steal some #and then kit and elora steal some of those #Boorman never has any and he’s ok with that #kit tanthalos #willow #elora danan #willow series #jade claymore #willow spoilers #graydon hastur #thraxus boorman

In the interest of being able to concisely describe complex relationships, we need a universal naming convention

In the interest of making everyone's life hell, we should base it on organic chemistry naming conventions.

#yeah we're like 2-3 dimethylbutane. Steve over there is the ethyl in a 3-ethyl-2-methylhexane #Jenny's a methane atm. ''so single?'' yeah #organic chemistry #poly shitposts #we're already called polycules after molecules we shoudl just steal the whole kit and caboodle
