i think with how inconsistent and whatnot warrior cats is you can definitely au/headcanon/interpret your way into a lot of different scenarios but between shadowclan-dovewing and thunder-clan dovewing thunderclan-dovewing is just so much more boring

exocynraku

i enjoy the idea that dovewing has more complicated feelings towards thunderclan and firestar/jayfeather/lionblaze specifically and would be hesitant to continue being around them, and the dynamic of dovewing being the prophesized angel child & ivypool being the troublesome/troubled dark forest trainee into -> ivypool becoming deputy of thunderclan due to her loyalty and dovewing being a 'code-breaking clanswapper' is fun to think about

really need to start yapping here again i miss typing warrior cats and clicking the post button

It will always be 10000x easier to hate Spottedleaf on a surface level within the text than to dissect the multi layers of misogyny behind the authors writing choices and fandom discourse surrounding her and thats why I will truly never hate Spottedleaf. I don't think there's any other character in warrior cats that has so accurately fossilized the cycle of how a female character's mistreatment in universe can be very tied to her popularity or lack of it in the fandom and how the authors themselves enable that.

Spottedleaf going from irrelevant female character who died to make room for Yellowfang to suddenly a love interest to beating a dead wife to retconning her repeatedly then killing her off to avoid the narrative complications they created. And her only crime was being a woman who happened to speak to the male protagist a total of 3 times while alive, none of which were in an even remotely romantic context.

This is also seen very clearly with characters like Ferncloud, who was killed in the same book as Spottedleaf due to fan complaints of her "being useless" because she spent alot of time in the nursery. And as easy as it would be to try and blame a fandom largely full of children at the time for making those complaints, warrior cats itself is full of misogyny and those ideas can very easyily rub off onto young or casual readers who don’t have a deeper context. (ex. 2010s having large waves of hate and discourse towards Leafopool and Squirrelflight, both of whom are victims of their situations whether that be their relationships or their society)

Because ultimately no matter how much anyone complained or shipped something in the earlier fandom, it’s the authors who decided Ferncloud should die for being a useless mother, its the authors who decided Spottedleaf should be a love interest to Fireheart despite the questionable age gap in children's book series, and the authors who decided Leafpool and Squirrelflight are more guilty than the man who tried to ruin their lives and threaten the lives of their children. And I think that says alot.
