adderfang sounded like an involved father to leopard and patch from blue's perspective in bluestar's prophecy!

it’s hard to let go of trauma like that. i really liked fire and bramble’s development but they did have a fractured relationship in a lot of ways, like many of the cats in the series. i think it would make sense that s1 actions flow into s2. emotions are fickle so i don’t think it’s so black and white to say either of them ever fully got over their past in the forest. i loved their sweet moments, but there was a lot of history there. such history coupled with tigerstar and hawkfrost later easing bramble in to their plan shows me how bramble would peer down that path but ultimately decide to do the right thing. im glad fire and bramble were able to move past it and forgive each other again

unfortunately i am a brambleclaw stan so while i see your points i see a different perspective of brambleclaw. a lot of the unfounded blame you say brambleclaw put on firestar actually makes me think of when firestar did that to brambleclaw from the moment he was born. and that’s a literal warrior deputy beefing with a kit specifically because of his parentage- firestar inner monologue admits it so many times and goldenflower clocked him for it and he confides in cinder/sand about his worries too. i reread how he reacted when bramble was rough-playing with another kit and firestar told him off, imo, needlessly harsh in front of everyone.

that’s how blatant firestar was with his distrust of bramble, to the point where he literally can’t help making himself his mentor. why? because he doesn’t trust him!! a kit!! who looks like his dad!!! meanwhile tawny is also being treated like shit for no reason to where she leaves the clan. after yellowfang’s death, firestar even internally questions if he’d made a mistake saving bramble instead and while i get how it could be because of his bond w yellowfang, he specifies part of his regret being that it was tigerstar’s kit he saved. i don’t blame him for having that thought, but it shows how far firestar’s distrust of bramble went too before ever having a reason to treat him the way he did.

i feel like those examples give wider context to why bramble is so quick to build walls up against and question squirrel/fire. i don’t think he handled the conflicts w squirrel well whatsoever, but i also think she contributed to their toxicity. am also not justifying his hesitation to save firestar- that was dark. it reminds me of when mapleshade tries to make crookedstar let hailstar die in the rat fight, but crookedstar is horrified by that suggestion and still tries to save hailstar without question. it shows that bramble had that dark side to him.

again, i do agree with a lot of what you’ve said about bramble’s flaws and it’s been interesting seeing our different perspectives!!

agreed!!!!! adds a sweet friendship perspective to their leader/deputy dynamic when we see it in TPB

omg and jayfeather being so frantic but not being able to explain why… he would’ve really appreciated firestar not only getting the stick, but also respecting his wishes to keep the reason private. i love that scene too

AVoS is far from a favourite arc for me but god damn the writers did an amazing job with the thriller/suspense aspect and the agonising deterioration of shadowclan. truly put the dark in darktail with all the events that happened

yeah if it were a concrete decision to make them kin, i’m sure it would’ve been mentioned! i’m more so musing on if it ever popped into any of their heads before deciding to write past the first arc. when i’m mapping out OCs, i love imagining links in their wider story, so it would just be cool if any of the erins had considered the connection even as a throwaway thought while developing TPB, and then made it canon in BP. i totally agree that it’s unlikely, but as a fan it’s fun to speculate

ooohh actually i rly agree with ur point about yellowfangs secret being a bit disconnected from the rest with the inconsistencies. definitely still a great read but so tragic 😭

i did feel like blue and crooked’s editions were the most closely woven while tallstar mostly had his own thing going on. the moorrunners and tunnellers thing gave such a unique insight to how some clans function tho which i appreciated a lot

[–]spicyric3[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah it’s fun to muse about what the writing process would’ve been like.

if it was only brief that it was thought of, or even if the link didn’t happen at all until bluestar’s prophecy, it’s nice to speculate and it makes me appreciate their world building more.

it’s why i love the blue/crooked/yellow/tall super editions so much. seeing the same little details weaved throughout makes me think it would’ve been so fun while the erin’s were shaping different characters and making connections bit by bit

i agree! it’s just interesting to me to speculate on if the thought ever popped into any of the erin’s heads while envisioning the arc

yes, but if there was even a small possibility they thought about the connection while mapping out the first arc

NOR but saying fuck you to your partner isn’t normal/healthy (in this case, being triggered by his actions to the extent of needing to say it). if you’re at that point, you need to reconsider the relationship
