Round 1 Part 7 Poll 8

Propaganda

what is a captain tournament without ahab tbh? moby dick (whale) bit his leg off in true dick fashion and ahab ditches all efforts of actually whaling to kill him for it. (well not ALL efforts but like. quite a few.) the pettiest bitch ever. had a new leg made out of whale bone SPECIFICALLY. has a hole in the deck where he just. pivots from. loser. has gay tension with his first mate starbuck also i don't know if that matters

(bear in mind i haven't actually finished the book yet ^^ so this may be slightly inaccurate)

Setzer is a roguish gambler who lives life on his own terms. He's the only known airship captain of his time, after the loss of Darill, and his skills in navigating such a machine are vital to the cause of the heroes. He meets the main characters by trying to kidnap an opera singer.

Juist finished reading Moby-Dick

Feels like I need to lie down and listen to one of my favourite bands for a bit...

Please be a lame old man. Please.

There's a critical lack of maggot Godseeker in the fandom

(unmasked Godseeker speculation woooo)

For reference:

Can you imagine how funny it would have been if Berryheart's attempt to depose tigerHeartstar succeeded, he gets stripped of his lives,

CLOVERSTAR MAKES HIM DEPUTY AGAIN,

AND THEN SHE STEPS DOWN??

"Hello again, LoserClan. My new name is Bet-you-thought-youd-seen-the-last-of-me-star. But for short, you can call me You-THOUGHT!!star."

Ohh that's freaky alright, Lord Raiden.

I want to spread his legs so bad.

what are the king harpy naming conventions ? is cuinn 'ice storm over kosa' because hes albino? (i just think naming conventions are neat :] )

Yess one of my favourite topics

Harpies from Cuinn's region (far eastern edge of a massive plain/steppe) are given simple adjective-noun names, like warrior cats, to distinguish them from one another usually based on defining physical traits. However the names become elaborate depending on role. Cuinn's names have always referenced his white feathers. Originally his name was Snowy One. All subsequent names, except for the human-given name Cuinn, must iterate on the previous name, introducing new descriptive elements each time.

When his old king picked him as a tiercel, he was given a 'pretty' version of his original name; White Flower in Snow. He deeply resented it and refused to answer to this name as much as he could get away with. When he declared himself a king, he picked a suitable king name, which always reflect 1. an iteration of the previous name, but Tough and Scary, usually evoking a natural disaster, and 2. their territory. He declared himself Ice Storm over the Ama [original territory]. But the self-declared names don't stick unless you win against the old king, and because he lost, the old king got to iterate on that chosen name insultingly, and that stuck - he was called Snow Squall as an exile, basically "hardly a storm at all, but a pathetic squall".

'Cuinn' was given by the human falconer who found him and nursed him back to health, it is the name of a white flower in the region. So he didn't escape the flower names after all. Only once he could get the falconer flock to accept him did he manage to finally declare himself Ice Storm for real. The humans don't use it but it's mainly a declaration to wild flocks around the place that this village has a king and he's so cool and strong and dangerous you better not fuck with him

I'm starting to think SkyClan getting their home destroyed before anyone else was just karma at this point. Skystar did nothing with his life (lives?) but cause problems and issues huh.

1994 anime

The verdict is in: They're both girliepop !

Silly Symphony - The Old Mill (1937)

It's been a little bit, so have another big boi Sea Dragon design as an apology; here's a Thor's Thunderer

a field guide specifically about the creation of the clans and stories about the early clans would have been SO COOL but no we spend an arc with clear sky

on that note tho are there any cool legends the clans share about the beginning of the clans in BB?

If the writers go 5 minutes without saying Clear Sky smells nice they will die

COOL LEGENDS BB!CATS HAVE ABOUT THE DAWN ERA:

Generally, stories from this time are heavily mythologized. It is the era of legends and high fantasy, with its founders being remembered as abstractions more than real cats.

So ideally I'd love to tell arcs where every appearance of the founders in StarClan is like seeing angels. Monstrous, powerful beings that are more elemental than feline. Then, suddenly, you get to go back and see them before their appearances were twisted by generations of fantasy.

The Red Squirrels and the Gray Squirrels (Pishkaf om Chakchak) A ThunderClan myth, especially popular after the exile of SkyClan. The story goes that the wretched gray squirrels once decided to persecute the humble red squirrels. So the red squirrels appealed to Thunderstar to save them, but Skystar decreed that might makes right, and refused to manage the gray squirrels in his territory. It's treated as a kitten story, a parable about the importance of managing one's territory and defending things with low threat level.

Bumble Mumble and the Rogue of Rot The Clan cat version of a tower of babel story. It's the story of an unnamed rogue who steals the kittens of Turtle Heart and Bumble Mumble, killing Turtle Heart in the process. In response, Bumble lets out a mournful wail that strips the Rogue's words away and scrambles language forever.

Sun Shadow Steals the Sun The story of One Eye's defeat, slowly morphed into a cute tale about why you can't stare at the sun. The legend goes that One Eye was unbeatable, wearing a pelt that could not be scratched, even as all the founders united to defeat him. Sun Shadow realized that the only thing that could defeat him was the power within him, and so he challenged him to "show all of his might." Through this, his flesh was burned, but he gained a power above all. He guards this now as the sun itself, but would have to give it up to the next person who defeats him in a staring contest. So don't look!

Snake Claw's Serpents Newest one I'm still working on; but once upon a time, in his hatred of serpents, Snake Claw slew all of them from the deadliest adder down to the most defenseless slowworm. But without snakes to fear coming into their burrows, all the prey hid there, and all the cats of the Clans went hungry. He begged StarClan to return the serpents, and they agreed-- but he would need to craft them again, from memory. He spun his hate into love, but each one still came out endearingly wonky. It's why a grass snake has no venom, a slowworm's tail can fall off, and some adders are green. And most importantly, it is why "Snakes" (serpent in Clanmew, "Sis") have scales despite being "Worms." He forgor.

That last one's still changing though, I think it's very cute but I also want to make sure to put Snake as a character rework before the fun legend I want him to have, lmao.
