"I should never have betrayed my Clan by meeting with Mapleshade. I will regret it for the rest of my life, and I can only beg for your forgiveness."

"Appledusk is a broad-shouldered, soft, thick, and glossy-furred pale brown tom with pale, holly-green eyes."

took some screenshots of the squilf hate, man it just upsets me. it feels like so much of this hate is rooted in misogyny 🙁 oh yeah also all of these squilf haters i found adore and defend appledusk aswell so that tells me a lot abt them..

theres so much squilfstar hate going on on the tiktok warriors fandom theres literally a whole group of people starting to hate her and call her a abuser while they praise bramblestar its so insane..ppl really hate to see woman winning

One thing about the warriors Mapleshade hate train era of the fandom that still pisses me off actually is how people swore up and down that Mapleshade MUST be an unreliable narrator and so therefore nothing she expirienced or thought could be in any way accurate.

When in reality it was just the fandom making up bullshit headcanons out of thin air and portraying it as canon just so they can excuse Thunderclans blatant hatred/xenophobia, assault of a mother, and banishment of literal babies. Nobody wants to admit the fact that Mapleshade was severely screwed over and had every right to be pissed the hell off! (and don't get me wrong murder is inexcusable but like.... you guys baby so many other murderers in this series please stop playing)

Because outright saying "Mapleshade lying is worthy of assault and/or death" will reasonably earn you a WTF response, so people exaggerate her aggressors victimhood by making up bullshit about Mapleshade being a "baby trapper" or an "overtly possessive toxic girlfriend", and/or crafting some make-believe soppy sad backstory for Frecklewish. All to make Maples decision to lie seem worse than it in actuality was, or actively malicious in nature, and deserving of the recieved "punishment" (assault and death of her children).

Like... I cannot state enough how much it pisses me off when people discredit *the literal POV expiriences of the book protagonist* just to make up random crap about her clanmates and craft some elaborate tale where Maple is the worst and has sucked all along. When we know literally nothing about them, and especially Frecklewish, except that she made a stupid assumption, is willing to beat a mother in front of their kids, and quiet frankly didn't actually give a shit about those kids the moment she realized they weren't blood related. LOL

Like completley out of nowhere people decided Mapleshade lying was the worst crime ever commited in the history of the series... UNLESS you're literally any other character in the series to do it like Bluestar Leafpool Squirrelflight Yellowfang etc etc etc.... When they get flack for lying it's unfair and they were doing what they thought was right! But also it's completely unacceptable for Mapleshade to lie about her children's half-clan heritage in an environment where her peers are violently hateful and xenophobic. Because it hurt their feelings ... LOL

And don't even get me started on the fact that, quiet frankly, Frecklewish and Oakstar were being unreasonable from the very beginning by being hateful and blaming Riverclan for their loved ones death. They literally sent their son/brother INTO BATTLE and are now mad that he DIED? What the hell do they think happens when you send people out to beat eachother up (often to the death)??

Battle and death is such a normal and accepted part of clan culture it genuinely baffles me people dont realize that, as understandable as their grief, their anger/hatred is pretty crazy, even if Appledusk *had* killed Birchface. They were wrong to assume Birchface was the father and they were wrong to project their hatred on Mapleshade and her kits. Not a single action made by them was reasonable or excusable. You don't put that kind of pressure on a single mother who *explicitly avoided stating her kits father* and get all mad when it isn't who you assumed it to be. Like it's next level stupidity

Going back to the roots with some designs for my potential MapleShade rewrite, still unsure how far i'll go with this idea but you know i love failwomen

Some character design notes under the cut because i am normal

FreckleWish Spiky and messy fur after BirchFace's death onwards; eyebag markings connect to lighter fur markings; constantly wide eyed

ReedShine Very tired look; ear tufts hang downwards; similar face shape to MapleShade post-reveal; tufts on fur aren't feathers, just long tufts of fur

AppleDusk His chest spots are suppose to resemble apple seeds; overall very square-ish shape; lighter face marking connects to his eyebrows.

RavenWing Very small and scrawny, fur "coat" makes him look bigger than he actually is; ears tilt down and cover eyes; raven feathers on cheek fluffs

[afalconfromalcyoneus]

Dumbass Au idea where Frecklewish drags Ravenwing to the Dark Forest. This hinges on believing Frecklewish actually went to the Dark Forest though, which is the fact for this Au. Lol.

Basically a "I'm dragging you to Hell with me" type vibe? Sorry if Ravenwing looks weird here he's supposed to be scared or something.

[fymo-blogs]

Bro, why is it that the warriors community is so insistent on Mapleshade being an unreliable narrator, yet they believe everything Appledusk has ever said?
