And what about you God? Couldn't you have been more gentle to me?

Byler nation scares me so bad bc what if we really are just fucking insane?? 😭 I'm so used to being queerbaited and being told "sometimes the curtains are just blue" like NO. THEY ARE BLUE AND YELLOW AND THE AMOUNT OF METAPHORS IS IMMEASURABLE

Worst pain

elder's quest thoughts

-SPOILERS-

So I finished it and here are my thoughts!!

Moonpaw: literally everything about her character is so interesting to me. All the stuff with her dead sister and how she doesn't seem to realize the full impact of her actions is a very cool concept!! It almost reminds me of the collector from the owl house. Can't wait to see where they go with her!

Tawnypelt: I love her and her stupid crush on Crowfeather, I hope it becomes canon, please Erin's please it would be so funny. Other than that I actually enjoyed a lot of her chapters and idk why? They were just more active than the other two I think. Also poor Tawny, almost all of her friends are dead and her son keeps disrespecting her when she's just trying to support her grandson 😭Tawnypelt deserves best grandma award for helping out Birchfeather

Leafstar: honestly I'm with her clanmates here, she needed to step down especially after the badger incident. I feel bad for her but its clear that it's time for retirement. Everytime she dreamed of the gorge or Echosong I just got so sad, like she lost her home and her best friend it's so depressing. But I think her tendency to focus on the past and not the future is why she needed to give up leadership. I'm glad she realized it herself instead of getting fully impeached. Also Hawkstar!!! I'm so excited, Hawkwing will be SUCH a headstrong leader, I hope him and Tigerstar get into arguments at every gathering bc you know they would

Other thoughts:

It sounds like the clans might have to make another journey because of twolegs? Which will be interesting. I can't tell if I like the idea of that or not; on the one hand, it's a repeat of tnp, on the other, it could be a fun thing to read. I do think that contrasting Tawny/Crow who were horrified at the idea of making another journey, with the younger cats who don't seem to care much about a potential move was very smart. They don't really realize the impact behind it- obviously because they weren't there. So idk it could be a good idea, it could be an absolute garbage fire, we'll see

I'm gonna try to continue documenting my thoughts as I go through this series! I think it'll be fun to look back on when it's over :D

hey wouldn't it be fucked up if the bones from darktail's drowned victims sometimes washed up on the shores of the lake or what. and of course, knowing they're the remains of shadowclan cats, shadowclan will bury them. but at each funeral everyone is tense, an unspoken question in the air who's bones are these? Does your loved one still rest in the lake, or have at least some of their bones been brought to the burial grounds?
