Wow, I really enjoyed reading the latest moon about Slugclan! When slugclan does eventually vote Gorgestar out of leadership will they still act like he’s still leader so they don’t aggrivate Gorgestar due to his dementia?
Well, when it comes to dementia care, while you shouldn’t force reality onto someone, you also shouldn’t just lie to them constantly. It would be dangerous for Gorgestar to still think himself leader. After all, his mental decline pushed him to encourage ridiculously aggressive behavior at the borders and sent all four Clans storming into camp!
Lettucecloud is now Lettucestar, but out of respect for Gorgestar’s legacy and for his own mental health, he will still be called Gorgestar. While the mediators will explain to him that he is an elder now, not leader, they’re going to carefully balance what they should tell him and when they should play along.
