#he’s a hypocrite but tigerstar has always somewhat been like that

[thornquillthefiendish]

Small ramble, I find it a little funny that the fandom never explored the half-clan/kittypet aspects of hawkfrost and Mothwing (me included up until the recent fixation) and I feel like there’s so much potential there given the history of their family. Tigerstar hated his kittypet traitor of a father, but he breaks the code and sires children born of blood he sees as “beneath him”. Also like, this would definitely effect how RiverClan saw the twins, (as I like to call them even though they arent they are triplets rip tadpole) Not only as Tigerstars kits but largely as halfclan cats of a cat who wasn’t even RiverClan with kittypet blood. I always feel the logical direction would’ve been RiverClan as a whole being greatly unsure of both of their loyalties even without the tigerstar relation because of how horrible the clans are to outsiders. I also just have the headcanon that hawkfrost having grown up a loner has never been able to abandon those roots entirely and hates the concept of halfclan discrimination, (even though I’m pretty sure canonically he does use this against stormfur at some point — I’m just exhausted by the hypocrisy of most characters who are halfclan or kittypet descendant and do the whole “you’re not a real warrior” song and dance) and that adding that hawkfrost isn’t inherently wrong or even has bad intent with his ideas being morally good, but his means being destructive and his philosophy, being by all means necessary, not taking into account the kind of sacrifices he’s making on everyone else behalf for this vision.

In short, Eric killmonger no I won’t stop loving this villain archetype.
