Does leopard still have 3 lives in her final battle? Or was that changed?

Yep. I think she drowned her once, then Leopardstar lunges up refreshed, and she gets the upper paw on Mistyfoot with 2 lives to go.

(MAYBE tw gore, but I really did try to be tasteful about a head being smashed on a rock.)

On her back, splashing and thrashing furiously against Leopardstar's claws dunking her head under, Mistyfoot glimpses a wave breaking just over the tip of a stone-blue rock. Her only chance.

With a surge of power, her claws sink into her leader's golden shoulder and they tumble and roll to the right. Before the tyrant even realizes what's happening, she's yanked up, and then whipped backwards with a wet CRUNCH

And then again

And again

And again, until Mistyfoot can't even make out what's left of her leader anymore. All she can see is that it's a red, brown, and yellow blur, because her eyes burning with salty tears and her whole body is trembling.

She drops the corpse onto the stone and it slides into the water, lifelessly. After a moment it spasms aimlessly one last time, like an insect does after its head is bitten off, unlike the deliberate, agonized throes of Tigerstar suffering through his doomed lives. And then it's still.

There's only the tranquil sound of bubbling water, and Mistyfoot's frenzied panting. Her pounding heart makes it hard to hear either.

The blood is carried off by the shallow water in scarlet swirls, but the lake runs pale red as if it's washing it away. Some were aware of this prophecy, but Mistyfoot was not.

It isn't closure to her, or a fulfillment of divine decree. It's just blood that should be on her paws, slicked away by the complicit river. She wished it could feel like it's over, but she's smart enough to know the truth. Has been through enough terrible events like this to understand what comes next.

Her body will move foward. Her mind will need to consider her deputy. Her paw will come down on code-defying cats like Blackclaw and Greenflower. But her heart will stay here, next to the remains of Leopardstar, the same way another piece of it remains at Stonefur's side across space and time.

#Tw gore #Juuuust in case but I did try to stay tasteful #While also trying to write it as gut-wrenchingly violent as I imagine in my head #Because it's important that it haunts her #The kill wasn't pretty and clean. It was awful. She didn't want this. It wasn't heroic #'Why did you do this to me? Why did you make this so cruel?' #'Why was the last thing you ever did to me such a horrible command as a leader?' #'And why did I obey your orders until the bitter bitter end?' #'How could you turn my defiance into a new kind of cruel obediance? Did I not suffer ENOUGH for you?' #'And now there is no head to bury with your body. I am cursed with the last memory of your face. I alone will know how you looked at me' #'That the last expression on your face wasn't pain or confusion or realization.' #'It was all fury. For me.' #OF COURSE tho I will continue to make funny rock jokes until the day I die lmaoo #Duality of Bones #Hmm maybe when I get to this in BB!TNP I'll be quick and objective about it and save the Misty Emotions for like... #I miss how the field guides used to have stories told in 1st person. #It would be fun to have a BB!Mistystar Speaks #Because I do LOVE writing Misty's verbose and philosophical speeches. #As you can see from the tags lmao #BB!Mistystar #Better bones au

Hi, I would just like to talk to the writers of Batman (1940) #496 and ask why they would hurt me by having Bruce get sprayed with fear gas, have a vision of Jason's death, and then beat up The Joker while screaming nothing but "Jason Todd" at him over and over.

#and Bruce's introspection on how Jason was a brave boy who lived and breathed but was just a cruel joke to The Joker #like despite it being decades since Jason's death it still hits hard because Bruce was just so devastated #bruce wayne #batman #jason todd #batman comics #dc comics #comic series #my post

One of the most tragic things about Azula is how genuinely she believes that the world is broken up into people who abuse their power over others and people who are abused. Thinking about "even you fear me" (and how the narrative literally tells us it isn't true) and "you can laugh, it's funny" when she makes an ableist joke about Zuko's scar, because she genuinely thinks that everyone really secretly is as cruel as she is deep down.

#this post was brought to you by someone claiming the reason aang didn't laugh at her joke was because he was terrified of her #but like in that scene he's just staring at her looking bored #the reason he doesn't laugh is because it isn't funny it's cruel #azula

Another thing that makes Loki’s upset reasonable is that by Thor 1 Odin was already dying, and within the decade would die (as is mentioned, and as we see in the following Thor movies). If Odin ever planned on telling Loki about his origin why would he leave it till the literal end of his life. acting like he planned to tell Loki still makes it sound like he was waiting for his deathbed to do it. at best.

#not a convincing argument to make #'we wanted you to be ready' what like for the funeral procession to mention it #what a joke #Thor and Loki are a thousand years old and Odin and Frigga were either going to act like it doesn't make a difference anyway #or that they would have told Loki when the 'time was right' or some other fantasy #:/ #surprised Loki wasn't more upset about it like when did they expect Loki to find out #was he just never meant to know??? #how cruel is that

As promised, hc of the day: Another thing Shadow Milk does to annoy Pure Vanilla is make random comentarys, that in his head feel like intrusive thoughts. And let me tell you, those "intrusive thoughts" are really wild. Shadow Milk: ...don't you just want to punch clotted cream in the face? Pure Vanilla: NO-

Shadow Milk: I mean he kinda reaaaaaally deserves it

Pure Vanilla: Please stop make me thinking about that

Shadow Milk: Boo, you whore

#Another constans are: #Telling Dark Cacao he looks like a woman because of his hair #ANY kind of flirt directed to White Lily #even the really cheesy ones #SPECIALLY the really cheesy ones #making cruel pranks to the kids #lying about random things in general #making cruel jokes about Black Raisin's missing arm #and it goes on and on #pure vanilla cookie #cookie run kingdom #shadow milk cookie get out of my fucking head please #headcanon of the day

Sherlock Holmes is great because the adaptations are willing to be the weirdest ideas ever

Like. What if Watson was a robot and Holmes was preserved in ice for hundreds of years?

What if Sherlock Holmes was actually called Herlock Sholmes?

What if, and follow with me here, Sherlock Holmes and Wattson were mice and Moriarty was a rat?

#sherlock holmes #sherlock holmes in the 22nd century #ace attorney #the great mouse detective #like the choices are limitless i love it #i wanted to make a sherlock joke but i never watched it and bringing up the 'secret fourth episode' felt too cruel

the most cruel thing about having to wait for a 23.5 the series trailer is that they have me actively impatient for a school series which is going to be filled with all the dumb tropes and despite me never enjoying that in bl i just know i'm going to eat it up when it's milklove and its so stupid but it doesn't stop me from needing the trailer yesterday

#23.5 the series #not a slight to those who like the school/uni setting #i just have never really enjoyed those bls and am so grateful that i started getting into bls when the more mature ones came out #but now im just clawing at my skin waiting for that silly little show #i am just a small joke in a big cruel universe

[suppenzeit]

i always look at a character and go "yeah he looks easy to draw" and then i promptly eat shit

#my art #militsioner #on the topic of names: ive seen people refer to the player as pavel and while that is fun #i do like a cruel joke so the giant being named pasha (diminutive of pavel) would be... ironic (pavel is from paul and paul means small) #tho i saw someone suggest styopa for this guy and i do like that as well... also fits p good #i just want him to be the human equivalent of a great dane being named 'tiny' #also yes i think he deserves to be in love. tho him being in love probably wouldnt end great. but we dont have to think about that right no

Payment for surrogacy gets really complicated because on one hand paying for it means most surrogates will end up being lower class women who need the money and will be easier to exploit, something which is rife in the current implementation of surrogacy, but on the other hand being pregnant is genuinely like body horror to me and I think that if you go through that for someone else you should get a billion dollars.

#surrogacy #this is a joke post but also like... no i'm being serious #i understand why paying for something potentially dangerous is immoral #on the other hand... this undermining of consent is the basis our entire capitalistic system lives on #to force people into exhausting cruel undepraying and yes dangerous jobs #so why is it that only for something like childbirth are we like noooo they cant be financially compensated for this incredibly hard thing #like why is ONLY this thing bad why isn't it just as bad if that same woman who would've become a surrogate has to work in a sweatshop #i think it's also got to do with our mythologizing around pregnancy as this wonderful beauty of nature thing #we are capable of recognizing the body horror when it's unwanted (well. some of us.) #but pregnancy doesn't stop being incredibly physically and mentally taxing just because the baby is wanted #so we see being paid for it as this corruption of the 'natural' 'good' pregnancy and therefore obviously worse. which. i am not a fan of

Ok but did anyone else think Valerian had like the hots for Cardan LMFAO idk no proof just vibes

do fandom people realize that gleefully firing off mean little zingers at the socially accepted online target of the week for clicks is functionally identical to the way high school bullies use cruelty for clout, or do they lack that level of self awareness?

#i am TIRED #i have unfollowed/blocked so many fandom people lately #because the way they sling nasty comments around as soon as they think they can get away with it #tells me everything i need to know about the kinds of people they are #like it's always obvious when someone has cruel impulses they've just been waiting for the chance to indulge without consequences #when they can pretend that they're ''punching up'' because their target is ostensibly higher up the social foodchain #but the insults/comments/meanspirited jokes are all rooted in queerphobia or racism or ableism or misogyny or classism etc #and therefore do more harm to others than to the person they're theoretically aiming at #like... i see you #(this isn't about anything current or specific btw) #(wrote this post a month or two ago and just found it in my drafts) #(but the point stands because i've definitely continued to encounter the same shit) #fandom problems #wank adjacent

[autistic-beshelar]

ah yes dungeon meshi, the manga where an autistic man gets repeatedly bullied by people he thinks are his friends and not a single person supports him

#dont get me wrong i am enjoying this manga #but i'm failing to see how this is some great amazing autistic rep #like yeah laios is obviously autistic #and the struggles he has due to his autism are VERY relatable #but it's deeply uncomfortable that even the people closest to him are routinely awful to him #specifically for his autistic traits #and their bullying is almost always a joke #not a single person defends him #literally senshi is the only character that's never been cruel to him #well and farlyn but lbr she's also autistic and also has been in like half a chapter that ive read so far #maybe ive just not read far enough or not seen enough posts #but im not understanding why the fandom are treating it like amazing autistic rep and how it understands us so well #you could argue that the narrative tends to support laios's methods and way of thinking #but nothing else does #the scene with shuro was fucking awful to read tbh #'you're so annoying because you're autistic. how dare you think im your friend when you should have just guessed that i hated you' #and not a single person defends laios #or calls shuro out on what a fucking horrific way of treating a party member that is #like i dont know MAYBE you could have just said 'hey i don't really want to be friends' #maybe you could COMMUNICATE. #but no it's the autistic man who's the problem. for the crime of.... being too nice. #i don't have a problem with the scene. #i have a problem with the fact that shuro is framed as reasonable here. instead of utterly fucking vile. #i have a problem with none of the other characters sticking up for laios. #dungeon meshi #maybe ppl will start treating him better #i would like to continue reading #but if he continues getting bullied in EVERY fucking chapter as a 'joke' then idk man
