BB!Goosefeather

[ID: Goosefeather from Warrior Cats in the Better Bones AU. He is a round, wolflike cat with tiny, unreadable, deep blue eyes. In the second image he's caught in a vision, signified by swirling eyes and a nosebleed]

I've always had a very different take on Goosefeather than the wider fandom. In particular, his final scene with Bluefur at the end of Bluestar's Prophecy has always FASCINATED me. She's mourning the loss of her kits, and Goose comes up, almost as if he's going to comfort her like anyone else...

But his tune is very different from the rest of the Clan. He reminds her that the kits were not part of fate, and ergo, her own choice. This screed has this intriguing taste of bitterness, and it immediately made Goose one of my favorite WC characters.

Was that resentment? Smug satisfaction? What was behind those words, Goosefeather?

Did you know that the raid you sent your sister on was going to kill her? Did the herbs even need to be destroyed? What if the only vision he'd received was that Moonflower had to die?

It's one thing if he's just, you know, plagued by visions that will come no matter what, and he's Sad About It. I do love the Cassandra type characters in fiction, but... the idea that he's DEDICATED to the prophecies that haunt him, that it's both a curse and a commitment, a damnation and a destiny... it gives me... gOOSEBUMPS HEYOO

AND SO! Better Bones Goosefeather is a situational antagonist in nearly every story he's in. He believes firmly that to defy fate only creates worse outcomes, that you have to kill a mouse to have a meal. More than just following the 'will of StarClan,' he believes that a prophecy is more than just a warning. To him, they are instructions.

(More info below the cut!)

In Bluestar's Flowers, he receives a vision of Moonflower dying in a WindClan raid. He knew she had to die, and so, he got her killed. This is not revealed until near the end of the book.

At the same time, he will occasionally (and uncharacteristically, Featherwhisker will note) help Bluemoon escape being caught when she sneaks out to meet up with the Forget-me-Not friend group.

Bluemoon's kits are children of prophecy... or, one of them is.

Mosslight is fated to become a grand hero, and overthrow the horrible tyrant, Thistlestar.

Goosefeather will ensure the propagation of both sides of this prophecy. Thistleclaw must become leader. Mosskit must be born.

But, in the end, Bluemoon's love is stronger than destiny. She will NEVER let Thistleclaw become leader, she will NEVER let him command innocent people like Rosetail and Thrushpelt into early graves, and she will NEVER let him brutalize the Clans of her friends.

Goosefeather thought it was a checkmate when she was in the nursery with the three kittens, clearly ineligible for deputyship after accusation of having halfclan kittens (Thistleclaw's questioning violating the Queen's Rights) and his personal endorsement of him for deputy.

he was WRONG

Bluemoon brought them to RiverClan, the hero of destiny dying in the process, cinching the deputyship by a hair's length.

With great tragedy, with great cost, with great sacrifice, Bluestar WON.

The thread of prophecy was severed so hard that Goosefeather never received another vision ever again. Nothing would be the same again, he was living in a new world and a new time.

He lived the last of these days quietly, reflecting on his life, his actions, considering... if all those times where he'd Done What Had To Be Done, if it was for nothing.

Goosefeather is allowed a peaceful death, unburdened by the buzzing curse of prophecy, slipping into his sleep in a doomed timeline that yet persists.

DESIGN STUFF

I need these visions to look painful. I want to drive it home that these are hurting him. So I gave him nosebleeds.

He's committed to the thing that hurts most, because he can't imagine another way

symbolism

His family carries a wolf motif, this is very important because I said so. Awoo, even.

You can see how Goosefeather's big fat tummy is present in his relatives, Sorreltail and Dovewing.

He reminds me of Winnie the Pooh but as an evil wizard. He's got a haunted plushie kind of vibe.

like a teddy ruxpin, even

And lastly this is unrelated to everything, but when I was designing Skywatcher I kept thinking about the two of them having a wizard battle. I just think that is very funny and it is a thought I am now sharing with all of you. <3

you somehow always get the most unhinged people commenting on your polls 😭😭

FOR REAL!!! does this happen to other people whose polls get moderately popular or am I uniquely cursed???

[mcatmemoranda]

Afrin (Oxymetazoline) can stop nosebleeds. It vasoconstricts. You can put some on some cotton and shove it up the nose. Posterior nose bleeds can be life-threatening in old people. My attending just told us about that.

Now you know the fancy word for “nosebleed.” 😉

i love getting nosebleeds while sobbing

[asianentcarecentre]

It is common because of the location of blood vessels close to the surface of nose. 60% of the people will have atleast one nose bleed in life time. Although most of the nose bleeds are not serious, some are very serious if it is due to arterial bleeds especially in hypertensive patients. We attend all nose bleeds in emergency and provide effective treatment to stop nasal bleeds either with medicine or surgery .

Nasal bleeding (also known as epistaxis) are quite common. They can be frightening, but they rarely signal a major medical issue. The nose is an easy target for injury and nosebleeds due to its central location in the face and the vast number of blood vessels close to the surface in the lining of your nose.

There are two sorts of nosebleeds. An anterior nosebleed occurs when the blood vessels in the front of the nose burst and bleed.

A posterior nosebleed occurs at the rear or deepest part of the nose. Blood rushes down the back of the throat in this situation. Nasal bleeding from the back of the nose is a dangerous condition.

How to Avoid Nasal Bleeding There are a number of techniques to avoid nosebleeds. • Use a humidifier to keep the air moist in your home. • Don't pick your nose. • Limit your aspirin intake, which might thin your blood and cause nosebleeds. Consult your doctor beforehand, as the advantages of taking aspirin may exceed the hazards. • Antihistamines and decongestants should be used sparingly. These can cause the nose to become dry. • To keep the nasal passages wet, use a saline spray or gel.

MattFoggy Fic Rec: Epistaxis Anime by inkforhumanhands, art by thelonebamf

Submitter's Comments (submitted by @blissful-thinker): If you ever wanted to see Matt become the biggest himbo to ever himbo do I have the fic for you. A mix of sweet and hilarious moments make up this story while you’re wondering why Matt does all the things he does instead of telling Foggy the truth while falling in love with him more and more. It has one more chapter to go where I’m sure by the end Matt finally gets his brain cell and enough blood back… hopefully.

Epistaxis Anime (33417 words) by inkforhumanhands, with art by thelonebamf Summary: Matt has been managing his epistaxis anime—a rare disease that causes its sufferer intense nosebleeds when they experience sexual attraction—just fine until meeting his law school roommate, Foggy, unleashes something within him. Matt struggles to keep his growing feelings and their bloody aftermath in check, all while hiding the true nature of his disease from Foggy. But as the lies and jealousy start to mount, Matt learns there are some status quos that aren’t worth preserving.

I NEED MUTUALS😻😻😻👹👹👹👹😻😻😻🫀🫀👹👁🫦👁 (I am 15, Freshman in HS)

PRETTY PRETTY PLEASE WITH SPRINKLES AND CHERRIES ON TOP (I’m talking about fro-yo bc I don’t really like ice cream)

My qualifications to be your Mutual are:

-I go to an Early College High School, which means when I graduate (2028) I will have a HS diploma as well as an associates degree.

-I am well versed in literature (I read War and Peace, Jane Eyre, and Anna Karenina in 7th grade) and I can read really fast (834 WPM)

- I play soccer, violin and do theater (acting, just started trying to sing)

- I understand(?) D&D, I sadly don’t play bc i don’t have time and am afraid to join a club, but I do know a lot about BG3

- I am a film, medical, and random thingiez nerd! I can (and will) randomly spout the most absurd fun facts known to mankind at any given moment. Did you know that the medical term for nosebleeds is epistaxis? Or that in 1968, riots occurred in Chicago around the DNC, and were led by Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, Tom Hayden, Rennie Davis and David Dellinger?

-I am a history buff, specifically WW1&2, the 50’s-70’s, and Greek Mythology.

Cons of being my friend:

-Sometimes I talk waaaay toooo muccchhh. Like I seriously need to shut up sometimes.

- I have trust issues. I am currently going through a friendship crisis where it seems my best friend would rather talk to anybody but me. Also like I’ll sit and listen to her no matter what, but if I’m passionately yapping about why Girl, Interrupted is an AMAZING BOOK, she’ll stick her finger up, and say ‘I’m bored changing subject now’, I will need reassurance (non verbal, like being an active listener)

-I don’t really like clingy people, again the friendship crisis, she was like dependent on me for happiness last year (she said she would khs if we stopped being friends) and then this year she went cold turkey and is pulling away, so yeah I’m not really fond of being clingy.

-I have anxiety (as like every high schooler does) and depression. I may not always be up to ANY social interactions.

-I have family issues.

This is getting long so I will post a part 2 (Ick I know) containing my favorite things and interests

A Bientot- Euni

--

I'm usually somewhat discerning with these and keep it to ones I actually have a file for but 2025 is the year I'm dreaming big I guess lmao

I have quite a few for DD (TV):

Epistaxis Anime currently working on the 8th and final chapter of Matt's nosebleed saga. now that Foggy knows his secret, how will things end up between them?

A Gentleman Caller working on chapter 2 of this one where vampire!Matt shows up at Foggy's window one night supposedly looking for romance. i've started the second of two scenes and it's been fun so far! i don't usually do much worldbuilding but i'm having fun with it here.

Out of the Darkness, Into the Limelight another one i'm working on chapter 2 for. Matt and Foggy kiss for a student film and things spiral from there. in chapter 2 we start to see the fallout of the kiss and all the mess that ensues!

Fake Breakup (working title) the premise of this one is that Foggy asks Matt to break up with him in public to gain sympathy and an extension from a professor for one of their assignments. they weren't even dating, so why does it hurt? i'm only a few hundred words into this one and am still thinking about its scope.

Saint Anthony this is a collab oneshot i'm doing with happybeans where Foggy gets kidnapped and Matt prays to St. Anthony to help him find him. it's very cracky but i'm having a lot of fun writing St. Anthony's POV.

i'm also working on a series of unrelated works where i post one for each season of the show:

Foggy Nelson, Super Sleuth! (season 1) this one is very old. i originally posted chapter 1 in 2019 and then fell off the wagon, but i'm currently rewriting the first chapter in preparation for eventually continuing it. the premise is that Foggy tries to figure out why Matt keeps showing up to work bruised and battered, and Matt has to try and thwart his sleuthing before he figures out he's DD.

S2 Karen Thinks Their Breakup Is Romantic Fuckery (working title) (season 2) i'm really excited for this one even though i haven't written a single word of it lmao. basically what the title says. when Matt and Foggy are having their friendship troubles in s2 Karen assumes the problem is due to their having feelings for each other and Foggy doesn't correct her.

To the Dregs Redux (Defenders) i wrote a ficlet ages ago where Foggy and Karen visit a witch to get Matt resurrected after Midland Circle and am planning to rewrite and continue it. probably going to go into doppelganger territory since Matt isn't actually dead

I'll Take All of My Wasted Love and Turn It into Wine in My Cup (season 3) i also haven't technically started this one yet. it's going to be angst about Foggy turning to alcohol when he still thinks Matt is dead.

now for DD (comics)!

The Advocate this is a ficlet i'm writing set in early volume 1 about Foggy trying to convince Karen to give Matt another chance before she goes to San Francisco, only for her to try to get him to realize the only reason he thinks Matt is so great is because he's in love with him himself. might be done soon???

His Wife Has Filled His House With Chintz my beloved wip. set in volume 1 after the Micah Synn stuff, Foggy tells Matt he's leaving Debbie and then they go fuck about it.

i am also doing a series for this, one fic for each comic volume:

Hearsay (volume 1) currently working on chapter 2 of this one. the outline is a bit more involved than my fics usually get so i'm excited about that! this one is about Foggy overhearing a rumor that Matt is dating Daredevil and he doesn't know how to feel about it. also there's a subplot about Becky and Foggy getting involved in a disability rights case which should be fun

Stitching Up the Seams on Every Broken Promise That Your Body Couldn't Keep (volume 2) this is another one that i haven't actually started writing. it takes place while Foggy is in witness protection, and Matt starts having sex dreams about his (presumably) dead buddy much to his horror.

Matchmaker Ben Urich (working title) (volume 3) not started. Ben finds himself temporarily reassigned to the gossip column beat as penalty for being too good of a reporter (you know how these things go). he decides to at least do something useful with his time and use his skills to get Matt and Foggy together using the column.

Cancer Arc Jealousy (working title) (volume 4) this one (unstarted) is probably going to be short. i'm thinking a little interiority from Foggy in San Francisco where he stews a little bit about the fact that Kirsten can go out in public with Matt but he's got to be in hiding.

Purple Children (working title) (volume 5) i have a tiny bit of this one written. Matt and Foggy are dating when the Purple Children wipe everyone's memory of Matt's identity. Foggy thinks he was cheating on Matt with DD the whole time and, horrified, breaks up with Matt but doesn't tell him why. angst and retroactive identity porn shenanigans.

Matt's Intimacy Issues (working title) (volume 6) not started, probably a oneshot. Matt hasn't slept with Foggy only because Foggy is the equivalent of a U-Haul lesbian and he's worried about opening up the door to having to be emotionally vulnerable.

Goldy Threatening Foggy (working title) (volume 7) not started. listen, while the Goldy thing never panned out (or at least not yet) you can't tell me there's not potential there both with him threatening Foggy to try and make Matt a better DD or something and Foggy getting a little jealous because he doesn't know what's up with Goldy but he does know that Matt has gotten increasingly weird about him.

Other fandoms:

Guesswork (The OC) working on chapter 3, or at least i should be but i need to have a hard think about where i actually want to take the fic first. Seth/Ryan where some dark things in Ryan's past weigh heavily on the chances of them working out.

The Good One (The OC) an in-progress oneshot tied to season 1 episode 3 where Ryan reflects on his relationship with his alcoholic mom.

Prequel (working title) (Matthias & Maxime) this in-progress oneshot is supposed to be a prequel about the first time Matt and Max kissed while high, as mentioned in the film. i've been having trouble with it so i have no idea when i'll finally get it out.

Cacoethes (Hannibal) need to continue with chapter 2 on this one, where Hannibal convinces Will he's got a sexual obsession with him.

tagging @amazing-spiderling and @mutuallyprime i don't know if you were tagged yet!
