Follow Your Heart: Warning Page by Night-The-Kitten on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

Here's an explination of each of these in order:

-Violence/Gore: This should be expected from a Warriors comic, but I wanted to leave it anyways, just in case.

-Swearing: It's rare the characters say BIG swears like "fuck," which I kept to a minimum- I like the idea that Clan cats don't drop an F-bomb unless they're really upset about something. But things like "hell" and"damn" are tossed around, so if that upsets you for some reason you may not want to read!

-Sexual Abuse: Ah, the big one.

Mouseclaw is a sexual predator. I don't care about spoiling this, because it's important information.

"Night sexual abuse is a heavy theme for a warriors comic!"

Didn't stop the Erins when they made Spottedleaf's Heart, did it?

Originally the arc that contains this was me deciding it would be some Fun Drama. But then I realized over time that doing that would be kinda gross! I thought about removing it entirely, but when Spottedleaf's Heart came out, I decided I didn't want to do that- I wanted to do better then them in terms of CSA.

So the arc is still in the story. I've handled it very carefully, and I plan to have help links for any child- or any person- that is going through what our main character goes through, on the pages where this is prevalent. I'm hoping that through the storyline with Mouseclaw (I don't care about spoiling who it is that does this, because I hate him, as I should) can help young people that might be experiencing abuse realize that something is wrong, and reach out for help. For the pages with this plot I'm going to have a brief description of the scene in the desc so that you don't miss out on the story part of it, but that way you don't have to see it if you don't want.

I have done as best I can with this arc of the story, and I am open to critique onto how to do better in the future
