#convinced me to play a Fnaf themed tag game in like 5th grade

[spotlightstudios]

Y'know, experiencing flashbacks rn, and I'd like to admit this to the internet:

I was definitely a Warrior Cats kid, but in the way that someone gets second-hand smoke inhalation (in the good way tho-).

In elementary school there was this line of trees that kids weren't supposed to go by, but my friends and I did it anyways. They'd pretend to be cats, and I'd happily join them! (Mind you, I did not read any of the Warrior Cats books at the time, but I was a furry-coded child tbh. Animal Jam + Stuffed Animals galore.) I very vividly recall that I was either the Mother or Medicine Cat, and I'm honestly fond of that time.

Like, I read a few of the books, but not enough to make any sense of them (not for lack of trying) I just really liked the feeling of tackling my friends and running around on my hands and knees in the "woods". It was FUN.

And I'm sure I could go places w/ this story and explain how it shaped and kinda predicted who I am now, but instead I'm gonna say, shoutout to my friends who did this with me! (Also the girl who played dragons/witches back in fourth grade and gave me a blessing against hexes before she moved away-) It was fun, and I will *never* look back on that with any sort of distaste, because those people were who made the recess hour worth enjoying. Also thanks to them for making me really enjoy Warrior Cats despite knowing very little about it :)
