Sorry if this is obvious already and I just completely missed it but I'm kinda confused about snowy's parentage (if that's the right word), with echo being her mom but I'm 90% sure prancer and pondfish are in a relationship, so is echo a surrogate for the two? And was she the one who had all the miscarriages? (And sorry again if I got something wrong and for shortening their names)
Well...tECHNICALLY... yeah... but it isn't a conscious decision, there was no communication about it and they don't even realise that's what they have technically done.
Prancer and Echowhisper are "happily" married and Echo indeed had all those miscarriages (and stillbirths). Prancer is Snowy's father and Echowhisper is her mother, a traditional TOTALLY HETEROSEXUAL family, like they are expected to be.
So what about Pondfish? What is his role here?
How the other cats see it, Pondfish is just a close family friend.
He has no children and is unmarried, he has no one waiting for him at home. He and Prancer have known each other for a long time and everyone knows they are best friends, obviously he is the cat he turns to when he needs company. Boys will be boys no matter how grown they are! How nice of Prancer and his family to include this lonely middle-aged man in their family! It must be so nice for Snowy too to have Uncle-Popo around to play with!
That's how it is, it must be, because being gay doesn't exist! Or if it did... surely two respected preachers wouldn't do such a thing...
Surely I'm the only one having these feelings.
Sometimes, in silent moments we share, it feels like he does as well, but it must be just wishful thinking. And even if it wasn't, it's not like it could ever be. He is a man of god, he knows better than to stray from the path set for him.
So, I will not say anything. I'll take the little moments, stay by your side, settle on being your friend. Even if it is too little for me, it's better than scaring you off and having nothing at all.
Prancer and Pondfish would be gay together if it was allowed. Since it isn't, they are "friends". Free Echo from this hell.
