big music ask game

[wc-confessions]

ok usually i watch from afar at these but the whole “mapleshade didnt show motherly love her kits” thing is wild and i have no idea where it came from?

also . personally i rlly do not care for everyone who acts like mapleshade is wrong for being defensive over her Literal husband when someone else is flirting with him. thats normal.

SHES NOT DOUBLE DEAD YET but mapleshade if u havent done her 👉👈

hi! I’m finally done with this ask since I had to think for awhile about what where I want to take mapleshade in the ddd!au and because work was busy, thanks for waiting!

I mostly wrote about her goals and relationships with other duplex cats, especially emberdawn. it’s a little long, so it’s under the cut and broken up with headers.

(also, if this gets seen outside my little bubble: this is about my au in which there’s an apartment complex (the “duplex) where the double-dead cats live together! info in my pinned.)

mapleshade may not yet be double dead yet, but I have a feeling she will be within an arc or two. (still reading River atm.) seems like she's filling the role of ruler of the dark forest now that tigerstar and ashfur are gone. I imagine she was kinda in that role was before, since she got crookedstar to train there when he was young. (maybe also tigerclaw but don't quote me on that.) she's the og dark forest mentor.

who is (my version of) mapleshade?

a lot of my understandings of the characters’ psyched are mostly inferred from text and/or headcanon that I’m using to build mapleshade and others out as au characters.

while I don't have a concrete timeline for the au, mapleshade arrives at the duplex when things are seemingly peaceful and shakes everything up. especially for frecklewish — mapleshade’s arrival threatens to upturn the quiet happiness she’s found with spottedleaf.

mapleshade died when she was at her worst. then, she spent years and years in the dark forest, a place that actively actively makes you worse the longer you spend there. I imagine she was a little self-important even before the events of her novella, and I see her as having to ground herself in her belief that she’s always in the right or else her world will start to crumble.

in a different way, frecklewish died at her lowest point as well. she was torn up by grief over the loss of her brother, and then a different, new grief as she lost the comfort of believing her brother lived on in the kits, then the kits themselves and her kinship with mapleshade, and finally the loss of her vision.

if it weren’t for their history, mapleshade and frecklewish could be the only ones to truly relate to each other’s experience. too bad they’re also each the last cat the other wants to talk to.

what’s she up to in the duplex?

the power struggles in the duplex are weird at first since no one knows quite what there is to fight over or what would happen if someone were to be killed a third time here. (quick note: I have an idea for this now! but the cats don’t know until it happens)

there are some cats who are trapped in their power-hungry ways even here, but it’s hard to be power hungry when territory and life are both so fluid here. there are turf wars in the halls, but what do those mean when the passageways morph and remake themselves, never quite the same each time you walk them?

so mapleshade starts out trying to carve out her own part of the duplex and recruit others to her side, but she doesn’t really have power or sway over the other cats here. quite a few of them are disillusioned former dark forest cats who fell under her leadership.

still, she does eventually convince a small band of cats to follow her. I think it’d be fun if she had an all she-cat group, and emberdawn aligns with her temporarily. but emberdawn has been there longer than anyone, and she doesn’t tell mapleshade everything she knows so that she always quietly has the upper hand over the cat who thinks she knows everything.

rise and fall

mapleshade plots to take over the apartment that bristlefrost, spottedleaf, and ashfur share when word of bristlefrost’s power to connect with the living world spreads through the duplex like wildfire. (I’m imagining it’s probably hawkfrost who accidentally lets it slip to tigerstar when he’s torn between helping bristle and his loyalty to his father.)

mapleshade and emberdawn bond over how they were betrayed by their mates. it starts off as a terse, business-only bond, but eventually they let their walls fall down. they have wine together on thursdays.

this isn’t so bad, mapleshade thinks. this is the company I deserve. soon, emberdawn and I will walk the earth again and rule it as we should.

that’s why when emberdawn backstabs mapleshade, it cuts deeper than any other betrayal (or perceived betrayal) before it. this is worse than losing appledusk, than losing her chance to seize the forest as a spirit, maybe even worse than that day the usually calm river swept her kits away.

this was supposed to be the beginning of her happy ending, and instead it was the worst betrayal of all.
