#But nope now he cares because Jagged Peak --who has finally proved himself 'useful'-- likes this one

[bonebabbles]

Blah blah blah Thunder moons at Star Flower and she gives him a plant that looks like Blazing Star but turns out to be a mimic species. And he babbled out the One Eye Attack Plan to her. You know the betrayal is coming, it's not exactly hard to predict

She has had a grand total of like 3 scenes and in each one everyone was like, "Star Flower Sus" which Thunder ignores.

Anyway back to clear sky (derogatory)

pooor baaaaaaaby. his heart is aaaaching that the people he abused, humiliated, and lorded over tyrannically for months "can't be relied on." No reflecting on his behavior btw because the books are determined to say that he Just Made Some Honest Mistakes :(((

(ignore the fact that one eye conjured up a million instant minions that outnumbered SkyClan lol. the book sure does until it's convenient)

"Trying So Hard To Protect." I just... I can't believe that people read this arc and completely forget the previous 3 books, end up buying this brand new Clear Sky at face-value, and accept this as a "good redemption arc".

You could write one paragraph at the end of 6 books that describes a completely different plot than the one that was written and people would buy it, and praise it as The Best Arc Ever

But anyway, Clear Sky is not allowed to feel bad about the consequences of his actions for more than 2 minutes before everyone gathers together to Clap At Baby

Because GOD FORBID he be held accountable for his actions, or people feel fucking weird about the murderous dictator trying to win his army back, or anyone call him an oversensitive megalomaniac for letting in two violent rogues he was warned against after throwing a fit about "being told what to do"

But anyway he's a brand new character now, so he goes to stare at Jagged Peak's wife to "remind himself why he's doing this." As if that can cover up for the fact we've ALWAYS, SINCE SUN TRAIL, known that he is a character that thirsts for power and control over others and always would have had motive to get his authority back.
