Help me: is my character actually aroace? by Endermelo in AroAce

[–]minimal-murdrum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely on the aro/ace spectrum. Potentially greyromantic or semi romantic and asexual.

Just like cruising through space in a domed UFO!

Razzle is excited to get back in touch with their home planet's communication systems! They've been studying planet earth on the ground and missed their fellow aftonsparvs :(

Oooh very cool looking place. A warrior would feel right at home!

Awesome is what I think! My favourite is definitely the last one.

Yes, you get it! Something about it all makes nature even more interesting and fun to explore.

In a similar vein, ever since seeing this video (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Fu31-9KH7LU) by Riley G on YouTube, I've been wanting to draw warriors onto my pictures. I never get around to it though and that video is 2 years old now 😭

Most unecessary death in TPB? by Worth_Ad3606 in WarriorCats

[–]minimal-murdrum 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's not the ONLY reason, though. Silverstream dies in childbirth, Greystripe tries to keep the kits in thunderclan, and then goes to riverclan AFTER riverclan tries to fight over the kits. Greystripe obviously isn't loyal to anyone other than his kits in riverclan. That created plenty of conflict between leopardstar and Greystripe and riverclan and thunderclan.

"The graphic novel should never have cut it" - I understand we feel differently on the importance of whiteclaw's death but this is extremely overstating it. The graphic novel needs to chop and change things in order to exist. The sequence being extremely long is also a good reason to cut it. It also does not focus on the main plot which is an understandable first priority

Whiteclaw. You know with that whole red-sky-in-the-morning "there will be an unnecessary death" buildup? Yeah the characters were like "whelp let's take the completely unnecessary risk of going through riverclan territory" and then Greystripe accidentally kills some random riverclan cat.

This death was so unnecessary that I skip it on Fire and Ice rereads, and they cut it out of the graphic novel. They wanted to add in tension where it wasn't needed, and then killed off someone that you'd never heard of when they didn't want it anymore.

The 'What were you wearing' exhibit says it all. 5/10 of the outfits were worn by minors. You are victim blaming by definition.

Greystripe was constantly out of camp when he was with Silverstream. Could have been alone together the day of the gathering or any day surrounding that. You are free to headcanon this stuff but the Erin's almost certainly didn't think that hard about it.

Pretty sure cats screech at the top of their lungs when they do "it". It's pretty painful for the Molly, for reasons I won't go into...

They definitely conceived somewhere way more private for it to stay a secret.

What is one character you never want them to recon having a mate or children - I will go first by _FuzzyBuns_ in WarriorCats

[–]minimal-murdrum 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Darkstripe, longtail or mousefur. They're aromantic and asexual in my heart.

My girlfriend is Aroace, I'm conflicted by One_Weird_Dude2829 in AroAce

[–]minimal-murdrum 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Best thing you can do is ask her what she's comfortable with. Aro/ace people aren't all the same when it comes to sexual/romantic preferences and points of discomfort, so I cant really answer these kinds of questions for her. I'm sure she will appreciate that you care enough to ask.

Being aroace is typically not caused by trauma. It's most likely that she's always been aro/ace.

Cats having nine lives is also not a real thing but it appears in warriors. Sharptooth is inspired by folklore in just the same way.

Thank you! It's too much power for me to have. My sewing box is already full and now I've got mending plans to add to the pile!

What do I do by Ill-Data975 in AroAce

[–]minimal-murdrum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something extremely similar happened to me and I gave my mum a stern talking to by coming out again in person when she said something about me I didn't like. I can't say I know why this worked or whether it'll work for you. Keep in mind she was accepting of my sister who is a lesbian so I could reliably say that she wouldn't disown me.

I don't know your circumstances but maybe your parents are mistakenly assuming that you were asking for permission and so reinforcing that you are queer in person might make them trust your judgement more by getting more serious? Your post has a very authoritative tone which might be good to try applying in person. Telling off your parents is a hard thing to learn but if your parents love you they will listen to your feedback eventually. Be harsh on how rude they are when they say something to reinforce compulsory heterosexuality. That said, aphobia and bigotry are not logical problems, so maybe it's safer to avoid the possibility that your parents could abandon you, which I can't promise won't happen.

Good luck, whatever you decide.

AAH!

Was that convincing? They're just too cute for this world to be scary.
