this pisses me off 😭 it's one thing to have bts photo leaks from paparazzi, or even general "this might happen" leaks (we never know if they're real anyway). but why leak their official marketing? FOUR HUNDRED files????
i want bread crumbs i don't want a fucking dump of everything these ppl have been working hard on. they just took all the fun out of any upcoming marketing releases.
most intentional design choice i've ever seen
so I finished kotlc….
"they're releasing the teaser soon!" I say as they drag me off to the asylum

"The Vaster World"
Well! This is it! The very last epilogue of "Pinepaw and the Forgotten World"!
This epilogue in particular took me awhile to write, because I had to get it exactly how I wanted. Pinewing and Cormorantleaf's relationship is one of the main focuses of the story, and I really felt I needed to explore it the way it deserved. Especially important to me was showing that despite how much they love each other, there's still a ton of baggage and difficulities they needed to work out. I honestly think it would be unrealistic for two characters with so much trauma to just skip off happily together, but I also wanted to emphasize how they could still reconcile in the end. Not all relationships work out, but Pinewing and Cormorantleaf both felt that the other was extremely important to them, and the relationship was something they both wanted. So they were willing to put in the work of building it back up.
I had a ton of fun drawing older Pinewing and Cormorantleaf. I started doodling Pinewing with full facial hair something like a year ago, and I've been so desperate to finally get it into the comic since. It feels so right for him, like his perfect final form. After a life full of pressure and difficulty Pinewing just wants to be a happy old man who gets to kiss his husband every day, and sometimes profesy the future writ flesh. Goodbye, my little blue cat; I'm gonna miss you.
The title of this epilogue comes from "Mimsy Were The Borogoves" by Lewis Padgett: "They would survive, but they would not know how to swim downstream, to the vaster world of the ocean.”
In the end, the whole project wraps up at 64,501 words, 370 pages, and two and a half years of production time. I started this project expecting it to be a minor thing I occasionally drew on the side, something a few people might find interesting. The enormously positive response has absolutely blown me away and continues to do so, and I am forever so grateful that thousands of people can enjoy and meaningfully relate to this story.
Thank you, as always, to everyone who has commented, shared, reblogged, theorized, made fanart, made fanfiction, told their friends, liked it, or just read it at all. Though I won't go into the specific details, PATFW is an extremely personal and cathartic creation of mine, so the fact that many of you have also told me that it connected with you on an emotional level is genuinely heart-touching. I appreciate all your readership through these years. It means a lot.

she really was going through it in this book, wasn't she?
I know Warriors doesn't have the best writting when it comes to.. much things, but either way I really enjoyed reading through Leafstar's grief and guilt, it was a lot She thought about Echosong and needing Echosong's words more than her own mate's for some reason.. wonder why that is

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK DID I WAKE UP TO NOAH HAVE YOU LOST YOUR EVERLOVING MIND

Hello, says the world, you are so little. Hello, says the world, you are so big.
was listening to The Elders' Quest audiobook and doodled some of the characters :) From left to right, Tawnypelt, Moonpaw, Crowfeather and Leafstar.
"While You Were Dead"
This issue serves as a goodbye to our two most prominent deceased characters - the killer and the victim both. Two of my favorites to write (though not necessarily to draw; their designs are agonizingly complicated), and whose deaths both made huge splashes in the readerbase.
It still really charms me how popular Rainhaze ended up being, and I'm just glad everyone else liked him as much as I did. I got to explore a lot of interesting and complicated ideas within his character. Asphodelshine I sometimes wish I hadn't killed off, but only because it makes me miss her. Which I suppose is how I know I did a good job with it.
The title is taken from Cat Rambo's story "Tortoiseshell Cats Are Not Refundable": “He and Mindy would laugh about that together eventually. He wondered what that would be like, to be able to say, “While you were dead.”

Happy 22nd birthday warriors! Here's some of Leafstar's depression, as a treat
just realized this is the first arc since the prophecies begin to not have a medicine cat protagonist. We had Leafpool, Jayfeather, Alderheart, Shadowsight and Frostdawn but now we don't have one and honestly? Good on the Erin's for switching things up-if Moonpaw was forced to be a medicine cat I think I would have exploded
