thinking about the owen richardson covers again and like. i have nothing against richardson himself or his art but i dont think im alone in wanting the cat books to have a cover artist that um. can consistently draw a cat

#rot.txt #like there ARE some better cats of richardson's but so many of them are just Off in some way... #PERSONALLY i would like something more stylized. idk i see a lot of realistic covers id like something more like an illustration maybe? #idk if owen is the one doing these but the chapter beginning illustrations look really nice. something like that for a cover would be cool #though i guess the mark making might be a bit too busy.. #warrior cats #sorry looking at all those covers for the paw post got to me.

I feel like not everyone likes polychampions is because Kouign-Amman Cookie is a girl and it ruins their yaoi ship between Prune Juice Cookie and Capsaicin Cookie

THIS. THIS OH MY GOD.

AND IT'S SO GROSS TOO. Obviously you have no obligation to like polychampions. You're 100% free to enjoy any variation of it that you desire but if you hate it because Kouign-Amman is a girl and it "can't be gay" then something is DEATHLY wrong with you and you need to seek help NOW.

Thankfully it's not a whole shipping war but SERIOUSLY, just the idea of that is disgusting.

And it sucks because you BARELY see any HEALTHY M/F/M poly ships like ANYWHERE. Give them the representation they deserve and take your head out your ass if you only want to fetishize Capsaicin and Prune Juice's relationship.

pondering why hayven is an only child when opossums have litters up to nine... solution is that all their biological siblings were put up for adoption. some of them were taken in by other skelts, but some weren't, those that were adopted by other families aren't affected by the curse

HI this is my thousand word ramble about Rocky and his relationship with other characters and my thoughts in general. I'm normal about Lackadaisy I promise.

Calvin

Calvin and Rocky are cousins that grew up together, with Rocky being 5 years older. The mini comics all make it seem like he spent most of his time there and later he says “it was home more than home was.” (Lackadaisy Breakdown). The cousins wrote to each other while Rocky was traveling around and Calvin kept them all inside a box instead of throwing them away. Aunt Nina tells Rocky "[Calvin]'s the only one in all o’ creation who'd follow you" (Lackadaisy Somersault) so they're clearly extremely close. Calvin lies to his mother several times to keep Rocky out of trouble, even when it's about something illegal. Despite his moral compass and the fact that he almost went into law enforcement, he's working with Lackadaisy and regularly shooting at people presumably just because Rocky wants him to (and because Ivy's there... but in the beginning it was for Rocky). They strike me as having more of a sibling relationship than a cousin one due to growing up so close.

Aunt Nina

Nina does not have a very high opinion of Rocky and she makes this very clear. She trusts him not to get Calvin into too much trouble but she doesn't let him stick around when he stops by. He’s under no illusions that he’s welcome at her house (Lackadaisy Somersault) and he tells Ivy that “[his face]’s only abided in small doses” at Nina’s house. He starts telling Ivy there was a small family tragedy and "it had an author... and with already ink-stained hands, i signed my name on it" which means that something bad happened and he either was to blame or took the blame and that is the reason he left Missouri, "so time could dull my fresh reminder face." (Lackadaisy Breakdown). My guess is that this family tragedy had something to do with his mother because his father was alive at least a little bit after he left because he was sending letters and stopped (Lackadaisy Correspondence) his mother is only mentioned once, in Lackadaisy Breakdown, described as “chasing Red Death” Red Death is not a real sickness and its instead from Edgar Allen Poe’s The Masque of the Red Death. This could mean that his mother had some sort of bloody sickness. My guess is tuberculosis. It was one of the biggest causes of death in the early 1900’s and one of its most well known symptoms is coughing up blood. Sorry this is supposed to be about Nina and I kind of went off the rails there. Anyway I don’t think Nina hates Rocky at all; she still does his laundry and lets him visit and lets him drag Calvin around. But she doesn’t trust him and makes sure he knows that.

Mitzi

Some people seem to think Rocky has a crush on Mitzi, and him threatening Wick certainly gives the impression but I heavily disagree and I think he sees her more as a mother figure. He clearly looks up to her and seeks her approval constantly; he goes out while extremely injured and hiding that injury from her (Lackadaisy Deliria) presumably because he realizes that the pig farmers' attack on Lackadaisy was his fault and he really wants to fix it. His behavior towards Wick strikes me more as a child really not wanting a step parent. As the audience, I know that Wick is basically incapable of evil (he has killed once and it was a duck and it still haunts him) and Mitzi is the one taking advantage of their relationship, but from Rocky's perspective Mitzi is just an innocent widow looking for companionship and Wick is a weird rich sleazeball. I honestly don't think Rocky is aware of Mitzi's own sleaziness, and if he is he’s ignoring it to the best of his ability. but Mitzi likes having Rocky around. Every time she's upset over something and Rocky starts joking around she immediately starts smiling more (Lackadaisy Proposition, Lackadaisy Haggersnash). She’s undeniably fond of him, despite his many shenanigans.

Mordecai

Okay this one is a little bit more out there. “But Rotten!” You may argue, “Rocky doesn’t actually know Mordecai! They only interact like once outside the mini comics!” Yes dear reader but consider this: they have so many parallels. They are opposites on the surface; Rocky is silly, Mordecai is serious. But looking closer they have a few things in common. Mainly: TRAINS!!!!!!!!! They both have recurring train motifs and it makes me insane. For Mordecai he met Atlas on a train (Lackadaisy Thaumaturgy), and for Rocky he has a drawing of one on one of the letters he sent to Calvin (Lackadaisy Correspondence) and he said his father worked on the railroad (Lackadaisy Breakdown). In relation to the trains, they both left home at a young age and wrote letters home. They also both seem to have a habit of gaining enemies; when Atlas met Mordecai he was running from people (Lackadaisy Bookkeeper) and Rocky’s… everything makes making enemies extremely easy for him. These two have PARALLELS and I need everyone to know!!!!!

Rocky

This last section is about Rocky himself! First off, to state the obvious: Rocky is extremely impulsive, he doesn’t seem to think about the consequences of his actions whatsoever and it gets him into all sorts of trouble all the time. He’s not oblivious though; in Lackadaisy Posterity he immediately jumps to the conclusion that he ruined something, he just didn’t remember it. Rocky puts on a show of being confident and sure of himself but the moment his walls are torn down in the Posterity and Breakdown pages he’s calling himself a horrible person. He is extremely aware of how other people feel about him; even though his exclamation of “they tolerate me” in Lackadaisy Palaver is framed as a joke, it feels pretty real. A lot of people don’t like Rocky and he knows this. I don’t remember where I was going with this. Just know that I’m obsessed with Rocky and I’m thinking about him always.

In conclusion

#rot.txt #lackadaisy #rocky rickaby #i probably made an extremely embarrassing spelling or grammar mistake somewhere in here. ignore it please? #im so glad im done with this i kept getting distracted and working on this instead of school work #rip my essay for ap lang you kind of suck </3 #aaaanyway. i hope this is slightly comprehensible. im normal about fictional cats i promise. come closer

I’m always seeing people talk about having a “weak visual brain” or “poor minds eye” or whatever, not realizing they have aphantasia, or sometimes knowing they do but not knowing how to like.. exist in a creative space with it cause so much stuff is geared towards those who don’t have aphantasia..  I’ve had aphantasia my whole life i can’t remember being able to visualize anything ever it’s like a black void in there [though fuck do I have tremendously vivid dreams which apparently isn’t common when you have zero visualization skills?? so fml i guess] and yet!! I draw!! I do creative shit all the time and have since I was a little kid and got seriously into it when i was a teenager... 

so i’m wondering... despite not being like a fantastic artist or a pro by any means, --i do have knowledge and i’d like to think my art is pretty banging though-- if other people would be interested in asking questions or talking to an artist who has aphantasia??  like whether you’re a fellow aphantasia artist, or you’re just like “wtf is aphantasia” or you just are curious about how someone can draw without 100% copying what they see?? perhaps i could like do a silly “ama aphantasia artist addition” thing or possibly put together a group of fellow artists and creatives with aphantasia and we could just?? idk talk and vibe and share tips and tricks. 

does this all sound silly? or would y’all be interested?? [i’m open to suggestions as well] [[i’m also thinking it’d be cool to AT THE VERY LEAST start a tag on here and other social media specifically ‘artists with aphantasia’ ]

so like. why did nightheart go with frostpaw? narratively i mean. what purpose is he serving. i dont think he needs to be here

#rot.txt #frostpaw having a clan cat with her is useful but i dont think nightheart is a very good choice. it just doesnt feel right? #he barely even WANTS to be there. should have sent one of her sisters with her smh who gives a shit about this guy #it kind of just feels like a halfassed way to tie the nightsun plotline to frostpaws #im not done with thunder yet so maybe it makes more sense later #but right now i just hate him

In Olvion when a body part is disconnected somehow, it's capable of being reattached as long as the victim or the body part hasn't left Olvion since the injury happened.
