twf #ic_appreciation thread

[DELAWARE]

yo so i've half-heartedly tried to start this kind of thing in other ways but now i'm finally doing it for real

basically this is kinda like the #warriorsforest thread but for in character appreciation only: e.g. quotes, characters, etc. that you really like. the only thing is that it's limited to RP stuff only so that we don't cross over with the #warriorsforest thread. i might end up being the only one who posts here but whatever, i have a lot of appreciation to show for all the incredible writing here!


all of this is from "come of age with our young nation" here because that's the thread i'm about to respond to lol

faye:

Not that she had needed a father. She just thought that it might have been nice. Niner, though he had tried his best, had been a poor substitute.

then later, niner:

he didn't mind, he just worried she wasn't making friends with the other apprentices because she wasn't sharing a den with them. he didn't want her to feel secluded from her peers, though he wasn't sure if faye even made friends. minions or pawns maybe, but he didn't know about friends. he didn't blame her for wanting to stay with tinsel, if only because thanks to niner the den had become the coziest place in the camp. he didn't have a thick pelt, so niner had to conserve warmth other ways. a luxurious nest and small, enclosed den ensured that. with the little hair tinsel and faye had as well he didn't think they would complain.

first i was like "niner is literally 18 lmao" but then i read ashes post and now i'm like FAYE HE'S LITERALLY SUCH A DAD WHAT ARE U SAYING
that's it i'm forming the niner appreciation club
no faye or tinsel allowed
niner fans only


adder:

He felt loyal to BloodClan because they had found and saved he and his sister when they were very young, sure, but he also felt loyal to the idea of not dying and sometimes those loyalties seemed at odds with each other.

adder vs his worries, survival edition

lucifer:

Apparently his sub-conscious feared this so much that it even made him dream about it, the last thing Lucifer needed, but, luckily Lucifer always could tell when he was dreaming, Axel wouldn't cackle that much in real life.

"Time to perform your civic duty Lucifer"

Sadness! Him! As if. Lucifer had never felt "sad" for anyone else in his entire life

The she-cat always seemed so level-headed, it was tough to imagine she'd mate with crazy but... there was no accounting for taste Lucifer supposed.

i love lucifer so much he's such a MASSIVE NARCISSIST lmao poor tami
also mate w crazy? tinsel says "mutant spawn" later honestly i know i drag axel constantly but i'm feeling attacked rn!!!! lool


tinsel:

Axel, on the other hand, didn’t seem to think of her as another prong of leadership- or at least not one that was on his side. More like in his side. The medicine cat smiled at her personal joke. He would see one day.

omg this joke-slash-threat tho. i laughed and then was like "wait"

Before, the other cats seemed to look at Faye like she was some sort of creepy ghost that had begun haunting the place when she had been born.

u mean i'm not supposed to think this way??? oops


slate:

No, he and the still lingering fish smell that coated him sat towards the middle-front

little did Minteh Freshness know that when she created slate she was rly creating 2 characters: slate and then slate's fishy smell


tinsel:

The cats of BloodClan had a healthy fear of her, partially because she literally had their lives in her hands every time they got hurt, partially because she could pretty easily poison them in their sleep, and partially because she had become a sort of legend after she had taken down a few rogues when she was at-term with her child.

when u put it like that

She didn’t see why this was particularly impressive.

tinsel. really. u don't see it. not at all. not even a little bit. you don't see it at all???
nothing????????????


sassafras:

When they were born the scrutiny would be worse. Couldn't teach them to hide from it. To run from it. They'd have to learn to face it head on. Like she never had. Like she was forcing herself to do.

sassafras' character development as a mother is everything i've ever wanted. it's so beautifully done, it's crazy to see how it's moved from the stuff in her past/her bio to her trying to come to terms with it all now. i seriously love it. also, would that riskflight show the same motivation for change ;__; rip


winter:

she had liked piper, loved him even.

wait wat

how could her mentor pick someone like him?

petition to rename this thread "in which everyone comments on sassafras' (poor) life choices" cause like...


i love my sometimes-bloodthirsty clan so much you guys
bloodclan best clan

Come of age with our young nation - Axel:

Even the fishy ex-RiverClanner had known to show up, though perhaps that wasn't the best example, considering Axel still kept a close eye on him.

Okay, but like fishy as in suspicious/not quite right or as in smelling? Or both? That's the real question lol
p.s. I think it's both xDD



Roadside drizzle in black and white - Drizzleshine:

due to important missing evidence

I cant get over this. It constantly makes me laugh.
The full quote is below.

The cat’s tuxedo body was thin and sleek, and had a sort of mystical beauty to it. He decided that, due to important missing evidence and the way the cat’s body curved, that this must just be a young she-cat whose scent was disguised by the magpies and the stench of the road.

he finally picked out her catlike shape among the birds. She looked just like them, really. He wondered how she had come to be with them. Maybe she was actually a magpie who had just been born into a cat’s body. He almost laughed as he thought it. That was ridiculous.

Or is it Drizzle? How can you be so sure?

he was also honestly worried that she might die if left alone in the wild for too long. Her survival instincts seemed to leave something to be desired. If she had survival instincts. Maybe she was actually an alien without them- honestly, at this point, that would make more sense than anything else.

xD It probably would make more sense than some innocent, kit-like cat that got lucky enough to be the black sheep in a flock of magpies when it left the comfort of it's two-leg nest. lol



I absolutely love Drizzleshine, especially with his interactions with Magpie. <3

Note: DELAWARE , at least with Slate and his fishy smell, I only had to write one bio. xDD

DELAWARE

The world had been silenced in the night. At first the snow had only been a light dusting, powdering rooftops and windowsills until they glittered. Then it began to fall a little harder, piling into the cracks and corners of the city with a curious eagerness, chasing rats into their dens and humans to their homes. By the time the clock struck one, the streets and sounds were well and truly muffled, like some great god had shaken out his winter blanket and settled the city into sleep. The snow did not stop until dawn, the last flakes melting as they fell under the oncoming warmth of the sun, but by then the change had been wrought. A good foot of snow carpeted the alleys and parks, piling across the lake and sinking where the ice was too thin. Citizens of the city, human and beast alike, were slow to wake and slower to move, emerging reluctantly from the safety of the indoors. Their reluctance was born less of practicality and more of some deeper, baser emotion - a desire to keep the peace, perhaps, to retain the sanctity of unmarked roads and footprint-less sidewalks and clear, cold air. Movements were small and hushed, and even the morning traffic, lines of cars snaking from suburb to city, seemed less offensive than usual, the blaring of horns and belching of exhaust replaced with the morning weather and scentless steam as heated cars melted their shrouds of snow.

This right here: one of the reasons I stay. How are you not published yet?

EDIT: From "Come of Age"

from "the wind begins to howl" here

adder:

HE BOUNCED LIKE A BAD CHECK

i love him sfm THIS BOY

slate:

He was flying again. It appeared today was the day for flying cats. At least it wasn't pigs

the image of a resigned slate just flying through the air like "oh man... not again" just KILLS me for some reason

and then he limped, I mean charged, out of the snow pile.

Crunched some numbers for the all you need to know events thread, and thought everyone might like to know what I found out:

Not including anything vaguely OOC (comments, names at the start of posts, etc. except for maybe a word or two here) Event 10.1 The Wind Begins to Howl clocked in at:



For comparison, a NaNoWriMo novel is 50,000 words. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is 76,944 words.

I hope you guys are REALLY fucking proud of yourselves, because damn, I am.

Amazing. Just amazing to think that together we wrote a book!

NICO about TINSEL:

He sometimes wondered if the other cats would get frown lines forever from the grumpy looks they held on their faces, but Tinsel already had lots of lines so he didn't have to worry about that for her.

I can't tell if he's adorable or savage or both, but I am definitely laughing!

Let us all remember the day in TWF history that [:ripples:] posted 5 pages worth of posts, aka 36,631 words, aka over half of a nanowrimo novel, after the med school study-imposed drought of the last few months.
