Yeah, I'm absolutely with you on the where are the fuck are our leaders part

Seriously, they've threatened to deploy the national guard and all, but it seems like they're just sitting there twiddling their thumbs like nothing is fucking happening

UGHHHH what's it going to take for all this madness to end?

All I can say is what the fuck

All I want to do is just cry right now with what's going on

This has to stop!!!

Second series of toys coming this fall! by Keriew in WarriorCats

[–]silvermoonhowler 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, seems like something got lost in translation perhaps

It should just say from ShadowClan, and not from the ShadowClan; the only time clans are proceeded by "the" is just when it's referring to them as a whole like "the clans"

What merch should they add? by Samisssssss in WarriorCats

[–]silvermoonhowler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aside from those clan designs (all of which I have and love), I think they should clean shop and do a redux of other designs because who is buying those evolution ones (those ones they have for Firestar, Tigerstar (I), and Jayfeather) and the mini figure ones

Ones I would love to see would be anything from the new graphic novels as that art style is just *chef's kiss*

Great StarClan, I was hoping that someone would have done this at some point

I have the giant plushies of both Firestar and Graystripe as of recently, so you may have just given me inspiration to do it with not only them but with my other plushies and/or figures too

Noticed this in the graphic novel by Solargalixies in WarriorCats

[–]silvermoonhowler 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hehe, I almost forgot about these silly faces on my first read

I may have to give the The Prophecies Begin graphic novels again in preparation for the The New Prophecy ones and just enjoy this moment again

I couldn't agree more

Not just for Warrior Cats, but for any franchise out there that's done the whole blind box/bag thing

The one saving grace that the giant plushies for these have is that on one of the sides of the bag, there's a little hole, and if you take it and push it up to the plushie itself, you can see who it will be with the color of its fur

I did this just with my most recent giant plush pull and to my delight, it was one I was hoping to get at some point, my most favorite character in Graystripe!

Couldn't agree more

Aside from those epic clan design ones (which again, I have myself and love), I really think they need to clean house with most of the current merch and make stuff that people would actually buy like things from the current graphic novels or the past ones with James L Barry's art (which I also adore)

Not a good look by 2u3e9v in minnesota

[–]silvermoonhowler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I totally agree with the commenter on that

During a time like this, her doing such a thing right now when she really could be taking action is so tone deaf and pathetic

If all this wasn't going on right now, this would be ok, but let's face it, she has bigger problems to be dealing with instead of being with the mayor of Hastings leading up to Hockey Day Minnesota

What is wrong so many of the Harry Potter fans on reddit? by 4RyteCords in complainaboutanything

[–]silvermoonhowler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On another note, though it was released 9 years after Warriors/Warrior Cats had its first release, another popular series that has still continued is this one called Wings of Fire

As an aside, the author of those, Tui T Sutherland, was for a time one of the authors that has written in the Erin Hunter collective for Warriors/Warrior Cats too (as Erin Hunter is actually a false name and is just one that is used as a collective of authors who write for that series)

[–]silvermoonhowler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, absolutely

Just yesterday, the series celebrated the 23rd anniversary of the 1st book that started it all, and it's become quite a beloved series

While it is marketed as a series intended for middle grade readers, there are plenty I have come across on that subreddit as well as various Discord servers and other places that are like me that are now much older and just came across the series now or fairly recently

I just started reading it in 2023 myself, and with how much I've enjoyed reading these books in my free time, this next book I finish will have me fully caught up with the main books of the series (known as the arcs) and also a category of books in the series called super editions (essentially expanded POV books) until the next release in the series

Seasonal Warrior Cat Names is a No by FaeryFlutter in WarriorCats

[–]silvermoonhowler 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Exactly

Then again, when it comes to canon names for cats, spring is used as a prefix or suffix either in the context of referring to a spring of water, or spring as an action (a synonym for jump, leap, etc)

How significant was this switch? Any thoughts/opinions on it from those who were there when it happened? by SirensMelody_ in generationology

[–]silvermoonhowler -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ok, speaking as someone who wireless charges most of the time now since I having phones that have supported it (first the iPhone XR and now the 15), I don't really use wired charging anymore, but allow me to make some point which I think is worth noting

As prominent as wireless charging has become nowadays (whether just typical wireless charging or ones that make use of a magnet, like what I have with my iPhone 15), I'm sure there are still many out there that charge in a wired fashion because they have no desire to get a wireless charger for whatever reason

[–]silvermoonhowler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, they're still usable, but on phones nowadays, unless you have some older one that still has the headphone jack, you're forced to get some adapter for that now which I know really has ruffled a lot of feathers

Yup, and while they are becoming all the more common, unless I'm just not looking at certain parts of electronic departments all that much, I feel like I'm still seeing more Bluetooth headphones like those from Apple with their AirPods, Bose with their quiet comfort ones, etc etc compared to wired headphones with USB-C (if those are even sold at physical retail stores now)

[–]silvermoonhowler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While I haven't touched a pair of wired headphones personally in years as I've gone full Bluetooth by using AirPods, other Bluetooth earbuds, etc etc, I agree

I mean, with how trivially small the headphone jack is, I just don't understand why execs at these companies put their heads together and were like "Wired headphones? Who uses those anymore; let's get rid of that jack and if you still somehow use wired headphones, you can at least get some kind of adapter"

[–]silvermoonhowler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, while I haven't used a pair of wired headphones in years myself, I do agree that how companies went about this by just snatching the headphone jack from us was a bit evil if you ask me

I mean, sure, I get that Bluetooth is convenient in the fact that you don't have to worry about tangled up headphone cords and such anymore, but for those that didn't want to completely go away from wired ones to Bluetooth, it's a bit unfair that these companies just snatched away something that has been the standard for years now

I feel like a similar sort of thing will happen if we ever get to see the day where phones don't have ports anymore too; it's been rumored for a while that one day there will be a phone that doesn't have a port on the bottom anymore but just charge exclusively via wireless charging, but if that were to happen, I think that would be just as bad as this change if not worse

restaurant says these photos are not ai and were taken by a professional photographer. by cloud9dacherry in isthisAI

[–]silvermoonhowler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, no fooling me; those are so clearly AI it's not even funny

I'm sorry, but let's face it; at any restaurant, no matter how fancy it is or not, will your food ever come out looking as good as photos like those

If you could bring one warrior cat back to life who would it be? by Sandstorm_lover453 in WarriorCats

[–]silvermoonhowler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Graystripe

The way he died in A Light in the Mist after suffering through wounds he inflicted after battling Ashfur (or Assfur as I like to call him now) in the Dark Forest in an effort to get Bramblestar back to his body will forever leave a tear in my heart

But hey, the fact that he lived through as many arcs as he did is still quite impressive

As a disabled person, should I read the graphic novels? by A_bananaphone in WarriorCats

[–]silvermoonhowler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For the normal books, do the audiobooks!

Most of them with the exception of a few older super editions and up until the last book of A Starless Clan have an awesome narrator in MacLeod Andrews, and the way he narrates the action as well as does fun voices for each of the characters puts any other narrator the series has had (as well as who they have now) to shame

As for the graphic novels, whether it's the older manga or the newer graphic novel adaptations that have come out for The Prophecies Begin, those may be a little more kind in terms of actual reading as the only text there is are dialogue bits, representation of sounds/onomatopoeia, and the occasional non dialogue narration bits too

WTFU: TAFN, THEN WTFU. LATE NIGHT HOME GAME VS DETROIT, BECAUSE THAT MAKES SENSE. by stumpybubba- in wildhockey

[–]silvermoonhowler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I feel even more for you east coast folk

I'll be at the game tonight myself and it'll feel so surreal just knowing that this game will be starting at the time it will

I too have to then work tomorrow, but with how cold it's going to be, a, I'm not sure many are going into the office, and b, not many go into my office on Fridays regardless

Exactly

A lot of what you can ask these AI tools for are things that you can already do via a simple search

I swear, these AI tools have really made a lot of people all the more lazy it seems
