#fascinated by the take that “dovewing abandoned her” when ivypool was pressuring her to date bumble lol

SPOILERS FOR ASC OBVIOUSLY... but what do you think of Ivypool being the new deputy of ThunderClan? Was hoping they'd go for Twigbranch so we don't have anyone related to Firestar become leader in the event something happens to Squilf, but at least we have a female leader and deputy duo again, and at least it wasn't Lionblaze xdd

Ivypool is my beloved mutual's blorbo so i'm clapping politely lol

Tbh idk....like i don't know guys. It's all about if Squirrelflight comes back, there's a conversation about how Bramblestar will "take on the burden of leadership" again if something comes up. While I think her being an option for a super edition means they have something planned for her, I'm still sort of narrowing my eyes suspiciously at the idea that she's definitely gonna be deputy. But that's me being suspicious (and paranoid of the idea of them killing off Squirrelflight for shock value).

But as for her as actual deputy....ah idk her writing has always been a source of contention for me. I want so badly for the series to lean into the fact that she is controlling and petty and can be downright cruel if it means getting what she wants. I think she would be an excellent source of drama, I just don't have high hopes that they'll see these traits as bad things or at least use them in interesting ways. I'm serious, if I have to read another arc of Ivypool getting mad her sister has a life outside of her I'm gonna LOSE IT-

Twigbranch would have been fun actually, I wouldn't mind a cat that isn't from TPB-OOTS. It would be nice for the series to play around with their new cast more.
