#ABUSERS DONT TWIRL THEIR FUCKING MUSTACHE AND LAUGH EVILLY

[bonefall]

Here's Graywing, a kind cat that always uses his head and stays out of clan troubles to care for his family! (said the fandom)

I spent the entire series assuming his character would develop, just keeping my hopes up. UNTIL HE FUCKING DIED. WHEN?? WHEN WAS HE LOVING???

DUDE IT KILLS ME!! HOW DID THEY WRITE A CHARACTER THIS BADLY??

He's super nasty!! He's really rude to Turtle Tail, Bumble, and even Thunder. He thinks of Wind Runner like a scheming, ambitious bitch trying to grab at power while pumping up Tall Shadow when she displays no happiness in the role and no one respects her.

Meanwhile, he's kissing Clear Sky's ass and trying to endlessly appease him, whining and crying about being Just As Bad when the other cats in his group suggest defensive measures. HE PUSHED THUNDER INTO RECONNECTING WITH HIS FATHER.

And his "love" of Bright Stream and Storm is incredibly uncomfortable. He's pining over them while they're obviously not interested, totally blowing past that Bright Stream is being pressured into leaving her life behind and coping with Storm not liking him by thinking of her as an object to give away to make Clear Sky happy.

The only unironic love he displays is towards Turtle Tail's children... who don't love him back. Why the fuck would you write UNREQUITED PARENTAL LOVE WHAT IS THIS??

Like I can't stress enough, TOM the WIFEBEATER is their dad the moment he reveals it. Guy they don't know who beats women. Owl Eyes even has this awkward scene where he has to smooth over that he does not see Gray Wing as his dad without offending him.

I have never been so uncomfortable reading warriors as I have been while reading Gray Wing's POV. Him and Clear Sky are my two most hated WC characters, it's not even close. They're rock bottom material.
