omg sparrow fur just got confirmed to become the second leader of skyclan
Ok, that's good. I'll have to think of how to go foward from here.
If Sparrow Heart had died before taking leadership, I was going to write that as her being INFURIATED by it. Remembered forever as Skystar's stooge, his general, his loyal servant, but never having power of her own. And, generations later, she'd grab for it in any way possible.
With her being Sparrowstar, I'm going to keep her ambition and desire for power, but she had a chance to enact her vision in life. She was the first cat to inherit 9 lives, even, with how BB!Skystar is the first leader to die. She continued his "legacy," not out of any actual love or respect to him, but because it's HER TURN.
All these years of groveling, of having to bend and bargain around the desire of stronger cats, now it's HERS. She is the one who bargains, who makes others grovel. No one will make her scared and powerless ever again.
It's going to continue the ferocious rivalry between SkyClan and ThunderClan, especially as Owlstar takes power. Sparrowstar is definitely gone by the time of the River Kingdom's succession crisis, though, she's too battle hungry to rule for so long.
Or maybe Sparrowstar will end up inventing some kitty war crimes and become one of the first Dark Forest cases. After all, it's very in-character of BB!Skystar to not officialize an heir, and force Sparrow Heart to have to carve a path through his bio-kits for the power she is owed...
(Mumbling to self: and then that makes a pretty interesting claim for SkyClan during the River Kingdom succession crisis... "we need no claim to your throne to take it from you")
We'll see!

Friendly reminder not to hurt yourselves. We have a system that pathologizes and imprisons those of us who do not fit the norms of society to fight and a gender class system to get rid off .direct your anger outwards, always .

I know the aesthetic is "everyone is filthy and bleeding and the worlds are all polluted and rotting and everything is awful all the time" but considering one of the Ruinous Powers is literally the god of filth and disease, it would make sense for the Imperium to have a culture of purity and cleanliness actually
"To despoil the Emperor-given body of humanity is heresy of the gravest order! You wash your face young lady or the pox-father will strike you down with zits before the Sanguinalia dance!"
People on ships probably have ritual cleansing periods based on the Terran day-night cycle, Ultramar has Roman-style public baths where the Ultramarines hang out
Of course since this is 40k they're going to be absolutely unhinged about it
Commisars shooting soldiers because they're not keeping clean enough when there's mud and blood and death everywhere and they've been fighting orks for the last solid day
Men dying of thirst so the general can have his twice-daily bubble bath to show his piety
The Sisters Hospitaller do canonically daube their armour in 'protective' incenses and ointments, either for genuine protective reasons, weirdass Imperial superstitions or maybe just so they can smell pretty while they're stalking through crowded wards saving lives or torturing injured heretics before executing them with bolt pistols I don't know (her ass has NOT agreed to medical neutrality!)
so I like to think that, like we say "sing yay many verses of this song while washing your hands to make sure you've done it long enough" they're doing the same with Imperial hymns
(not sure about the Militarum's doctors since they sometimes lean into "ghastly WW1 field hospital" vibes, but the SH's actually study new things and have access to medical texts and research mutation and xenobiology so I think they have a grasp of medical sanitation and PPE, most Astartes probs do too)
Picture a Astra Militarum doctor, Sister Hospitaller and Spess Mehreen Apothecary all stood by hand-sinks singing as they wash their hands:
Happy those who do not follow the counsel of the wicked, Nor go the way of sinners, nor sit in company with heretics.
Rather, the law of the Imperium is their joy;
the Emperor’s law they study day and night.
They are like a tree planted near streams of water that yields its fruit in season...
Some Astartes or Battle-Sisters do the whole "fight gloriously for days without rest against impossible odds until relief comes" thing that happens every week or so like clockwork and realistically come out the other side absolutely filthy and rancid, so they flagellate themselves half to death for failing to meet the ritual bathing criterias needed to maintain their divinely-granted human forms because they're terrifying religious fanatics

Top 10 Anime Winter Week 5
Angel Next Door takes the crown this week, but Buddy Daddies has surged and climbed on our charts to reach Number 2. Will it eventually reach number 1? That is the big question right now!
Other than those notes, it's been a relatively stable week. Vinland Saga drops down to 3, and majority other anime had little changes to ranks. Kubo will stop showing NEXT week - apologies for the miscalculation. Nier, on the other hand, is returning. Will it make it back to Top 10?
Vote at anitrendz.com/polls!

if you're ever curious about what kind of relationship alastor and antonio have, this song explains it.
it's neither of their music tastes and honestly they don't like the song on a musical level, but when antonio heard it on the radio one day all he could think about was alastor and their relationship. he showed it to alastor and alastor 'got dust in his eyes' because it understood
they saved each other from themselves. neither of them had the greatest start in life. they were both suffering. they saw themselves as unloveable and broken, and then they met each other and thought how does someone so far out of my league want me because of my flaws, not despite my flaws? they caught each other and kept each other safe. they were each other's saviours.
they're not fixed by any means, and it wasn't easy to get to the point where they're somewhat okay, but they're whole with each other now. they may be broken but their broken pieces make a whole. they have their bad moments. alastor hasn't had a full night of sleep since he was a baby and antonio still can't manage three meals a day. but antonio is still there holding alastor after another bout of sleep paralysis, alastor is still there making antonio's favourite snacks to encourage him to eat just a little bit. intimacy will always be hard for alastor just like how opening up about how he feels and allowing himself to be cared for will always be hard for antonio, but they don't push each other.
they're unusual, unconventional. love is a concept that has never existed at all to alastor, and yet he still loves antonio. his love may not be something anyone else understands, because it's a strange kind of love, but that makes it all the more special to antonio because it's a special feeling, only one person feels in the way that alastor feels it and the person he feels it for just so happens to be antonio.
they're unusual but it works for them and it helped them when they were at their lowest. and they've lasted longer than the relationships some of their alloromantic/allosexual friends have been in so they're doing something right, even if they're doing it right by doing it 'wrong'
they are horribly fucked up but they love and respect each other. they communicate, they create healthy boundaries, they support each other. sure antonio is a little disturbed by taxidermy but you bet your ass he keeps a jumping spider taxidermied terrarium on his desk because alastor made it for him. alastor isn't the biggest fan of modern music but if antonio hums a song a lot you bet it shows up as background music for his podcast that week. because antonio enjoyed it, so alastor enjoys it purely because it makes him happy. to them, "happy wife, happy life" isn't 'keep your wife happy so she isn't annoying and irritating', it's 'this makes my wife happy, and my wife being happy makes me happy, therefore i will do what makes her happy so we can both get joy'.
their dance is messy but it works and it works beautifully.

It’s funny how the line, “she’s just a kid,” is a valid argument to wave off the violent outbursts of Arya in AGOT, but somehow that same line can’t be applied to Sansa as a valid argument when she resorts to verbal low blows, even though the two years difference between them has no bearing on their cognitive abilities, and therefore you can’t cut one character more slack just because they are nine years old and hold the other character more accountable just because they are 11 years old.

I CAN SEE YOUR HEART BEATING THROUGH YOUR SHIRT/AIMING FROM AN ANGLE LIKE I'M MOTHERFUCKIN' KURT
Angel Valentina usually acts bubbly, sweet, and perhaps a bit too naive, but when faced with someone that hurt her or Michael Charlotte Ann, it's like a switch is flipped. Her wings disappear, her halo falls and shrinks to fit her neck, and tiny devil horns sprout from her head. All she can feel is rage, and she won't stop until she's sure the target of it has felt twice as much pain as she or MCA has from them.

Because I've been reminded and just out of curiosity, what would have been the immediate consequences of Six replacing Sarah that day if he'd succeeded?
Adam wouldn't have been needed.
Sarah would've been enough.
The plan would've gone ahead sooner.

Hi btw being trans does not automatically grant you supernatural understanding of all esoteric trans knowledge. You actually need to put effort into learning or put effort into keeping quiet about things that don't pertain to your specific experience
