do not buy onestar’s confession. i know this counts as a spoiler, but i’ll be honest i don’t care this kind of trumps that.
the book canonizes whitetail being onestar’s mate. whitetail is specifically mentioned to be his former apprentice in the same chapter this happens.
the book specifically addresses this and defends it, saying that now that whitetail’s an adult it’s ok.
it skips over her apprenticeship, we never see whitetail as a kit or apprentice. they did not need to include any reference to her being onestar’s former apprentice. they could’ve made them the same age. they didn’t need to make her his mate at all.
but they did. they very explicitly did. they chose to do this despite everything. they should’ve known better.
this is a children’s book. they have a responsibility not to publish this kind of shit.
they’ve been getting worse and worse with this over the years. they keep on making the family tree into hard canon despite the fans saying, for years, that the family tree was gross. they keep on doing this and this is the final straw. it’s gone from being ignorable to being explicitly defended in text.
you do not write this without knowing what you’re doing. this is a conscious choice on their part.
we cannot let this shit keep happening. at a certain point it becomes our responsibility to do something. please do not buy onestar’s confession and please email harper collins or whoever you have to expressing your disappointment and disgust. something needs to change.

What cringe culture shouldnt be about: kids having fun & enjoying things like videogames and making OCs
What cringe culture should be about:
i rate movies using a strict pass/fail system based on how the cinematography compares to this one shot in monster house
what they say: cats are evil and unable to love
what they mean: i dont know how to handle small animals and consider them lashing out in SELF DEFENSE an insult
Highly relatable if you were ever in middle or high school theater. Plenty of romantic drama, as you may have guessed by the name, but a really cute story.
This one is kind of the odd one out on this list and I debated leaving it off because of that. Aster isn’t explicitly queer, but his story does explore what it means to be gender non-conforming with a supernatural twist. Deals with breaking gender roles, and is really sweet. (It also has a very nice sequel called Hidden Witch)
This book gives me life. It’s just very sweet.
I mean, I’m just a sucker for this art style. LOOK HOW CUTE.
Noelle Stevenson can always be trusted to deliver, and Lumberjanes certainly does.

nice try FBI; if anybody gets a message like this don’t be stupid and share anything about whether or not you’ll be attending a specific action. spreading the word from official social medias of your local BYP100/black lives matter chapters is one thing (though still be careful), don’t fuck around with sharing info about your location, who you’re going with to actions, etc.
I find it kinda funny that ppl characterize Raven as an anti social emotional loner that hates ppl when that’s legit the opposite of her character lol
