June 23 2011. The chick slept near the food and water that I've put on the floor of this "temporarily henhouse" room. The pidge behaved calmly, though the chick was still a bit afraid, remembering yesterday's pecking.

One Destiny 2 headcanon I’ve always had is that the Vanguard has now had to set up a very specific set of rules for all Guardians that are 90% caused by shit the Young Wolf has done.

They include but are not limited to:

1. Do not Strand grapple to ships as they leave the hangar. This is directed to one person and one person only. You know exactly who you are.

2. Don’t give random kinderguardians Gjallarhorns. We do not need to build a third Tower

3. Stop telling New Lights ‘kys’ means ‘keep yourself safe’. Crow is still running from Osiris

4. Do not use multiple fire extinguishers as a replacement engine on Sparrows, especially while INSIDE the Tower.

5. Do not use fire extinguishers as ‘jetpacks’ either

6. All fire extinguishers are now off limits to The Young Wolf. Please report any missing ones to the Vanguard

7. Do not create a ‘pigeon army’, lead them to the Tower, throw a bag of bird seed on the ground and then leave. Seriously I have never seen this many pigeons in one place before. Wolf where did you get this many pigeons

8. If you set off fireworks in the Tower, don’t let them fall over please

Realising Sigurd and Desmond lethal company are brothers (Mentioned in the first log) Made me so emo…. Not to mention Sigurd reads to me as being the younger one so it made me think about the whole thing from Desmond’s pov.

You think you’re going on an easy but cool job where you go to other moons and pick up random garbage with your brother. You tell him to write down his thoughts to keep him grounded and tell him how cool it would be to have your notes stay on the terminal for years to come. Then you quickly discover the horrible things that could kill you in an instant, it even took one of your co-workers. Your little brother even tried to go after it to find the body— Now he’s getting all sorts of nightmares, he’s getting ideas about some thing shady behind the company you work for. You think he’s onto some thing so you investigate— You realise he’s right.

Idk some thing about the horror of being the older sibling and not being able to protect your younger sibling from horrible beasts you can barely defend yourself against and a company who really doesn’t care for the lives of it’s employees. Also it does make me laugh to think about Desmond telling Sigurd to stay behind at the terminal then Sig goes, “WHAT!!!! I’m not scared you’re scared!!!! lucas is the one whos going to piss himself out there!!! Whatever. I like being computer guy anyways.” (he writes “desmond stinks” in his notes)

#lethal company #ive been playing to much maybe #pigeon dont get attached to siblings challenge (failed) #do you get it though #oh the horror of being the older sibling and having to take responsibility when you are really just as young as well

how do thistle law supporters feel about foundling kits? considering they don’t like half-clanners and former outsiders, i’m wondering if they’d take in abandoned kittens or not considering they don’t particularly care for the queen’s rights amendment. like, would they give them to another clan, ignore them, or something else?

Under an institution like TigerClan, they would be put to the claw. A foundling is a future rogue. Every metastasis of Thistle Law is unique and different but they would never be on the same level as stolen kits.

The Clanmew word for a Stolen Kit is "Kurrnia," Honor Child, so I'm going to use this term

A Kurrnia is one that is rightfully won through conquest, FROM another Clan. They are still Clanborn, still have Warrior Blood. The idea here is that fighting over them and winning them makes this transfer legitimate. Might Makes Right.

So there could have been a timeline where Stormpaw and Featherpaw would be kurrnia and not halfclan in the eyes of a Thistle Law supporter-- if Crookedstar had gone ahead with the raid, and if Graystripe hadn't "ruined" the children by coming to RiverClan.

During the Crusades, some kits were taken as kurrnia from Chelford. Unfortunately though, they DO get discriminated against. They aren't Clanborn, don't have the ancient blood of the founders. They are seen as inferior to those earned through "honorable conquest."

But Kitten Stealing is a DEAD tradition, so heinous that only Thistle Law supporters consider it. The idea disgusts most Clan cats. But, it's a tradition that puts the modern understanding of Foundlings into perspective.

#Most foundlings if brought in young are considered the true children of the couple who adopts them #Lion and Toad for example adopted Fly and Snap. Pigeon and Cranberry. #But when they're too old they don't get parents. Dragonclaw is an example of that. She was like... 5-ish months close to 6 #So she just became the educator's unofficial charge #Maybe I should add more foundlings to Shadow... Houndstar would do that. #And then it ends with cedar after Snow does the Thing #It would fix a lot of problems ._.

Looking for Alpha Readers!!

[taps mic]

Some time ago I finished my pigeon novel, Highflight's Journey. It's sat ever since, since I've been busy with school and other stuff.

Since it's now been six months since it was done, I'm now looking for alpha readers.

It is 44,089 words and A Bit Rough at points. However, it is a middle-grade animal fiction novel focusing on pigeons, so if you were a Warriors or Guardians of Ga'hoole kid, hopefully you'll enjoy it!

(general content warnings for animal harm and death, similar to things you'd see in Guardians of Ga'hoole or Warriors)

I'm looking primarily for people to gauge plot coherence/understandablity. I'm aware that it's draft one and so there is going to be grammar errors, etc. but this is foundation stuff.

If you are interested in helping out at all, please let me know, even if you can't get to it til post-Nano (understandable) or can't read the whole thing (also understandable). Unfortunately I am a college student and have no money, but I am willing to alpha or beta read in return for you (although again, I'm currently finishing up literature reviews and my thesis so Please Be Understanding about time)

“Run. It's what people have been telling me to do all year, and now I think it's time I really listen. ... Please don't look for me. Please don't worry. And most of all, please don't think of this as me running away, but of me running toward. Toward answers. Toward hope. Toward wherever I have to go to finish my father's mission and stop this thing, once and for all. ... I'll be back. And when I am, I promise I'll have answers.”

June 23 2011. When the afternoon came, pigeon and chicken already behaved more freely. The pidge even started to copy the chick's manner of walking: raising the leg quite high and for a moment clenching the toes before lowering the leg for the next step. It was funny to see a pigeon walking in such a chooky way.

The chick also teached her other, very useful skill: an ability to peck the seeds fast. Before that, the pidge's eating skills was clumsier.

There were some crowing coos and angry beak swings, but only a couple of times. I've decided to bring the chick back to my aunt next day, but maybe they would befriend each other more, if the chick would stay a bit longer.

Uh Oh

The YR Season 2 Teaser dropped yesterday? You know what that means ! *Fires up the Chainsaw*

The Palace:

Personally, I think it was very clever of the YR PR team to release the first 4 minutes of Season 2 in replacement of a supposed trailer (eventhough one will likely come) because this does something very different to that of a montage of clipped, edited snippets throughout the entire season - Here, we're given a tonal opening.

Right from the get go, the transition from Wille's soft, intimate dream sequence to reality is indicated through a colour shift, and thus within moments of 0 dialogue an obscure location setting, we understand the gravity that the consequences of Season 1 has had. The golden-hued, saturated colour composition of Wille's dream is ruptured upon opening his eyes, whereby a greyish-blue seeps in through the curtains and he remembers where he has woken up. Simon isn't here. Actually, he never was. Unfortunately, Wille is in the single worst place on Earth. The Palace.

Even just by this subtle indication, the Palace becomes this sterile, de-saturated environment and we realise that the extent of the ending of S1 has, in fact, extended to the building itself. To Wille, the Palace takes upon this sombre reminder of the loss of hope. And despite never being a home, it's even less of a house now, because it's haunted.

The Walk:

This idea of the Palace being haunted is solidified in this small scene because Wille takes on the persona of a ghost.

The interaction between himself and the Cleaner/Housekeeper is weird, especially considering the royal settings, because all usual pleasantries are abandoned. Instead, Wille walks past, and she offers him no more then a quick glance, before continuing with her work. And it's not a look of acknowledgement either, it's more so the look you give when you hear a noise, wondering where it came from.

In turn, the camera follows him through the dimly-lit corridor as he stalks through it, the white shirt making him look almost-hollow. It's hinted at the gothic and I love it, because it makes so much sense. When a character is ruined, deprived and lost, they're not really full anymore, they're drifting through states longing for warmth. That's what Wille is doing right now. All of his desires (as seen in the very first 20 seconds) are confined to dreams, where he can escape the sadness of reality and experience a different plain, but that is his only solace.

Even now, he is both unrecognisable to himself and to staff of the palace. He's so far from who he was that when he got so close to experiencing something that felt like his, it was brutally stripped away and stomped on. Now, all that's left is himself (whoever that is) an his grief (wherever that's getting stored - It's pestering and sweltering). This is really just me wanting to start a ghost choir tbh.

The Blazer and The Portrait:

How has all of this pain, this line of ascension, this sense of missing and longing and wishing been compacted into a blazer? Erik's blazer.

I could cry over this picture - It doesn't fit at all. It's too big on the arms and at the waist. The crown has lost all of its significance, because now the blazer grips the body, but on Wille it's oversized because it was never meant for him. None of this was ever really meant for him. None of the plans made were catered towards him, the narrative followed someone else and he was supposed to be a supporter. A bystander. But now, the room is empty. The stand holds a piece of what waits for him, but it feels all too wrong and uncomfortable because it was Eriks.

His body is distorted in it because he's trying to fit the role of something that was never tailored to him, but he's desperate to feel some sort of closeness to Erik. He's hugging it tighter around himself in the hopes that he'll feel like Erik, assured and confidant, or even better, that he'll feel Erik, his compassion and his warmth. He's just a kid. Isn't that enough? He's just a kid who misses his big brother and who just wants a hug.

Not just this, but Erik's portrait is in the frame and is placed behind Wille, which has so many meanings, such as: 1.) Erik is subverting the theme of pressured surveillance by looking almost fondly, or sadly on his doting brother, like he understands that from his death, Wille now must fill his shoes, and he has to bare witness to the trials and tribulations that Wille is about to face, 2.) Wille is trying to emulate Erik's confidence and grace, of which are all encapsulated in this blazer as the framing lends itself to parallelism - The blazers present on Erik, but it looks neater, refined, right, like it's meant to, but on Wille it just looks strange.

How else can you say 'I miss you so much' when the other person isn't here to hear it? How else can you articulate 'I wish you were here. Or at least, I wish I were more like you, so then maybe in some part you would be here.' other than trying to picture their clothes, their face, their eyes? How else are you supposed to ask 'God, I wish that you would tell me what do to. How did you do it so well? How do I do it as well as you?' other than wearing their blazer and hoping that it'll wrap you up and take you away from all fo this? When you can't sleep, and you can't weep, and you can't put a name to your pain, what else are you meant to do than miss them and hope that it's enough?

The Tin:

I know I said that I could cry at the last picture, but this really is the last reason to push the stake further in. Just look at it, it's so-

Of course, just to plop the cherry on top of the cake, Wille ruffles in the inside pockets and finds this little tin (Is it a match tin?) engraved with 'Once A Brother, Always A Brother'.

This little addition offers the only reciprocal of Wille's love, as well as offering the only validation of his feelings, because it works both ways. As well as being Crown Prince, Erik was the only one that Wille wholeheartedly trusted, and felt like he could tell anything to. That's a special person, and it's a unique relationship when it happens, one that is precious. But Wille is also Erik's brother, and there is likely a part of him that feels responsible for carrying on his legacy, both out of love and out of duty. In this situation, the lines are so blurred it's hard to tell where devotion starts and obligation ends.

Not just this, but the fact that it's a match tin (as far as I'm aware) and in S1 Wille's flame was 'ignited' shows how Erik has always been present throughout Wille's journey.

I would just want Wille to know that Erik loved him so much, and that he would've been so supportive and proud of his little brother. Now I'm going to go burst into flames tears, 'xcuse me.

The Burning and The Mirror:

Now, I'm no pyromaniac, nor have I dabbled in arson, HOWEVER-

Notice how, through the framing, Wille's face somewhat replaces August' in the mirror after Wille has burned it away? His flame has been ignited, and now it's manifesting within himself. The burning itself is significant because it's an act of self-rebellion, and provides a little bit of catharsis.

Through this, Wille is actively erasing August from the narrative and distancing him from his Brother, who isn't here to do it for himself. Perhaps one of the main things that Wille is trying to protect is Eriks legacy, particularly in relation to his previous friendship with August, who Wille already stated at the end of S1 is "no longer a part of his family." It's just that now Wille has reason to act upon his desires.

But also, the way in which the 4th wall is broken is equally as significant - Beforehand, when Wille first breaks the 4th wall in S1, it's in the Apology issue and the camera creeps closer until it receives the warranted reaction from something that is suffocating and intrusive. But now, he breaks the fourth wall through the perspective of the mirror, looking at us through a reflection, as if we're stood behind him (The question this begs is whether that's in solidarity for Reputation Era or that we as an audience represent the lingering presences that he's ready to banish, displaying the conviction he has about August).

Either way, our presence is acknowledged, this time against the framework of consequences as opposed to the previous one in S1 of expectation.

And I understand that revenge is not always the healthiest means of healing.....HOWEVER-

The Eriksson House and The Acceptance:

IT'S THE GROOVY GANG !

This is a slightly different representation of the Eriksson home than we've seen before, as usually it's dark and the mains rooms we've seen are the kitchen, the living room and Simon's room, and initially when I watched this I thought that they had moved (The threat of getting doxxed, the presence of the press etc) It could be a possibility, or it's just that we're seeing a different image of the home.

It appears much lighter and airier, comprised of pastel greens and windows, which offers the impression that maybe the family are in a better place now due to the stark contrast between this home and the Palace.

Also - I'm guessing that the letter Sara gets is for her acceptance for residency at Hillerska, right? But the placement of the acceptance letter is both for narrative sake, like kickstarting Sara's journey regarding staying at Hillerska as well as externalising her wants - Acceptance. Throughout S1, that is all Sara wanted and all that she craved for, and now, this is the first sign of her integrating into the Hillerska environment and hoping that she is accepted beyond admission. I'm really excited to see how her story plays out !

HONOURABLE MENTIONS:

Wille simply just closing the door on Kristina. No shouting. No crying. No clipped words. Just the simple act of rejection.

More indications to August' eating disorder/body dysmorphia (He's an extremely nuanced character, and I still stand by the fact that resenting a character for their actions whilst acknowledging their nuanced portrayal are not mutually exclusive. Thanks critical thinking, luv you babes <3)

The music that played after Wille lit up Augusts face? Already SLAPS. I'm so excited for this years soundtrack !

Well, I'm down with freshers flu atm so this genuinely took all of my brain power and now I am s P e N t. But, please let me know what you think !

Wondering why the staff at Hillerska decided that they’re okay with their teenaged students being chaperoned on a gun range by a guy who: is only like a year older than everyone else there, is actively in school himself and can’t be available when students would be using the range, and has them shoot directly at the fucking power lines
