I've talked about this before and I'm not trying to be a hater but like. It's so funny to me when someone decides that a warrior cats character Simply Isn't What They Canonically Are.

Lionblaze is actually a laid-back, gentle guy who never wanted to hurt anyone and certainly never had a god complex. Jayfeather is never unkind to anyone who isn't mean or ableist to him first, and every time he snaps it's completely justified. Hollyleaf isn't sorry for anything she's ever done, she's burning with unquenchable rage and thinks only of murder. If you "interpret" these characters differently (as in... actually read the books), you're a mindless stan/hater who was brainwashed by YouTuber Moonkitti or something.

Actually I'm not done. I just saw someone on the reddit claim that Brambleclaw has never been ambitious or insecure. He's always been humble and earnest and gentle with everybody all the time, and that's why Squirrelflight's Hope is wildly out of character for him and he's never ever acted that way outside of that specific book, so his actions in that book should be stricken from the record and never held against him. I feel like I am taking fucking crazy pills.

Sweet, silly sisters.

I said you were destined to do great things. I don't remember ever saying you would be happy.

Ivypool and Dovewing are routinely failed by every single adult in their life other than Whitewing and Cinderheart. Ivypool wakes up every day covered in blood and Dovewing has been used as a tool by Lionblaze and Jayfeather basically as long as she's been alive and Whitewing and Cinderheart are literally the only two people who demonstrate any semblance of care for who they are as people over what they can provide.

It's actually vile the way Dovepaw's treatment from Lionblaze and Ivypaw's treatment from Hawkfrost are paralleled so clearly but because Dovepaw has powers and Ivypaw doesn't the books don't care to actually delve into how severely fucked it is that she's being used like this. They, at the very least, understand Hawkfrost as an abuser. Meanwhile Lionblaze is presented as "maybe a bit meaner than he should be sometimes, but otherwise okay". Dovepaw ROUTINELY and CONTINUOUSLY shows active symptoms of trauma and PTSD from everything and yet Lionblaze is viewed by the narrative as a good mentor. Lionblaze and Jayfeather tell Dovepaw she can not tell ANYONE AT ALL about her powers, only for Lionblaze to tell Cinderheart because he likes her. Dovepaw is continuously denied personhood and agency by Lionblaze, by Firestar, by Jayfeather. She is not a person. She is a tool.

bpd + ocd bristlefrost ..... for MEEEE her aromanticism is also heavily tied to her bpd in that when she develops a new favorite person it often registers as romantic attraction when in reality it's just a very unhealthy & obsessive attachment . ok ? ok
