#Rainflower

[the-mighty-e]

This chapter was so strange/pos cuz we got a bawling Tonny, Ryishmar not gaf, Rainah and Kamille divorce/discussion

And then two panels of Sahed living his best life cuz the girl he likes agreed to go out with him

Everything around him is burning and he's just singing, what a man

Okay guys I'm hosting my very first poll. I have compiled a very specific list of characters. These characters fall under at least one the following categories:

Fandom majority does not like them

Not actually evil, but is an asshole

Just generally annoying or insufferable

I want you to pick the character you would defend the most.

This is for science. Try your hardest and pick wisely. (Ignore the amount of cats with the 'Heart' suffix. Also I literally could not think of any good female choices... I had to make do)

I always found the idea of Mapleshade killing Rainflower early on interesting.

Crooked is her baby now, Rainflower

I tried to make her a bit more brown to match her sons.

[wc-confessions]

rainflower is a good character because she abuses that child really well and we dont get a short story from her rationalizing her abuse. the erins said "we need to abuse this child" so they made a child abuser. point a to point b. so simple. it's fine.

the flaw with hook crook hand, mapleshade 2 the electric boogaloo, is that everyone in riverclan experiences a mass hysteria event and also agrees to abuse this child for the sole reason of "rainflower said so". there isn't a line in the books about queens having total authority over their childs autonomy or how names are so special you have to stick to them No Matter What Even If It's Psychologically Damaging (though it's Implied)

if rainflower was the leader or deputy this would be believable but shes just rainflower. shellfur could have stepped up and said "i object to child abuse actually" but instead he slapped his hand over his knee and said "darn! guess i have no choice!" he didnt even offer to sleep with his son through his injury. does his job prohibit him from being a dad? lots of really important work going on in sleeping in the warrior den i fucking guess. dont get me started on hailstar. what is this.

this just results in the side characters in the book feel really hollow and bad for me. oak gets a pass because he was just a kid, but the adults bending to rainflowers whims based on nothing has been bothering me since someone pointed it out. the more i think about it the more i mald over the fact that she should have had a position of power in the clan. rainstar, lead her clan out of a flood, gave birth in a tree, surely she knows best. we should listen to this guy.

also rainflower continues to have a sway over her sons lives well after the crookedkit incident. hailstar didnt even cut her off from making life changing decisions because she managed to get shellfur to mentor oakpaw. the social taboo of parents mentoring kittens broken by known child abuser rainflower. what the fuck did she do to have all this pull in the clan? did she kill a dog?? is hailstar into her?? that child abusing charisma she is a true gem.

its still the best super edition though

Aaaahhhh this was really fun but took ages, lol. Pretty happy with how these guys all look, quick explanation of my choices if you want them, although you’re free to disagree lol.

- A lot of my enjoyment of Mistystar comes from personal interpretation or even AUs of the character but that doesn’t negate the fact that’s she’s my favourite.

- I like Berrynose for the same reason he’s commonly disliked; he’s an asshole.

- Ngl when I started reading TBC I wasn’t big on Shadowpaw initially because I was worried he was going to be Alderheart 2.0 and I was happy to be wrong.

- Needleclaw is one of the many victims of being the sister of a male protagonist, I want to see more of her with more consistent characterisation.

- If you’ve read Yellowfang’s Secret you probably already know that Raggedstar is just an awful guy in ways that aren’t really directly addressed.

- I like my Rainflower design a lot even though it differs from canon (why are Crooked and Oaks parents both grey, it irritates me)

- Frostpaw’s cool, but she’s the 20th blue eyed, plain grey, she-cat protagonist, can we please get some torties thanks?

- Flipclaw’s struggles are deeply relatable and he’s just a funny, mellow background character idk.

- CrookedBlue = fun, good chemistry, angst

- StarSky = gross, weird power imbalance, she dated your son, Clear Sky’s the worst, whyyyyy

- I like Spotfur, I think she’s neat, grounded and would have a good although dry sense of humour.

- Idk it’s Bramblestar, what else do I even need to say here.

Yeah everybody leaves,

If they get the chance,

And this, is my chance.
