tonight was actually the most beautiful night ever. me, olive, my housemates, and a friend all sat around and ate together. we’d played cards earlier (i didn’t win). it was snowy and dark and super windy & olive and i went on separate walks before we ate. dinner was venison back strap my housemate had cut a few days ago from a roadkill deer. olive’s friend cooked it beautifully. soup was wild rice (which my housemates’ friend who stayed with us had riced & left as a gift) with vegetables. a little bit of miso in the broth with a lot of herbs and spices mixed in, i made it to stave off sickness & im glad we all shared it. we cut up a fancy carmel-pecan apple and shared it for dessert. smoked a little after dinner & hung out with olive’s friend & we had tea together while they wrote and i drew (trying to work on a flash sheet). i felt very enriched talking to them & hanging out / eating with everyone at dinner. all of us are warm in bed & it’s so cold outside. all i have to show for any of this is this VERY unappetizing pic
i am finding that i regard things that feel good these days with melancholy sentimentality, which is annoying. i want to stop feeling like a wet shaking dog wrapped in newspaper. i hope i can get more used to things that feel good or better or pleasant without it being a whole G.D. internal journey each time. i would like to savor things a normal amount, and not pathetically.
i want to cling to things less. i think that would make everything easier to cherish

How does windclan deal with the lack of fat that rabbits have? Is that lack of fat not as big of a deal for the cats, or do they have something to supplement their diet?
Surprisingly it would be a pretty big deal; cats need a significant amount of fat in their diets as obligate carnivores.
Thankfully though rabbits DO have some fat in them... but they would need to supplement their diets with the 40% that isn't rabbit since they are so lean. Surprisingly; insects and eggs would do it.
It's kinda funny to think that insects are kind of like "WindClan's Vegetables," especially since I feel like Mudclaw HATES them but Torear loves them. Mama Ryestalk trying to get Mudkit to eat his grasshoppers and he keeps sneaking them over to his bro.
Torear then raising Kestrelpaw and Harepaw, making sure to fry up mashed worms and egg ("Grubcakes") in flax oil for breakfast to entice them into eating their bugs.

Headcanon:
So with Astarion living off of blood for a ridiculously long amount of time, I like to think he'd end up pretty sensitive to taste and/or texture if he ever ended up cured.
Maybe not permanently, but he'd probably have to work himself up to really strong/complicated flavors or end up needing to experiment with food a little. Start with small stuff like simple broths, a couple of lightly seasoned meats/breads/veggies/sweets on their own to get used to each thing's individual flavor before trying to combine foods/flavors into some overwhelming chaos of everything at once. I'm not sure how he would do around strong/smelly cheeses, but he'd probably be okay with them since vampire smelling didn't lead to suffering.
Granted, the opposite may also be true because taste and smell are closely linked and he could still smell. The main idea is that taste and smell also differ

absolute saddest part of learning to make some specialty dish for yourself is that the store-bought version will just never satisfy you ever again
