#hell let's toss in Leafpool

[papergardener]

Pivoting from obsessing over TAZ Balance to Warriors is how I remember how much I love powerful women with deep, deep tragedies that they caused by trying to do the right thing for everyone else and should get their happy ending, even if they feel they don’t deserve it.

[shaking back and forth with vacant eyes covered in blood] Do you ever think about Leafpool warrior cats. You ever think about how she was the most consistently suicidal character in wc because literally her whole life was miserable and just straight up ruined later once she was exposed and then nearly sent to hell for being a promiscous wench breaking the law by getting pregnant at the cat equivalent of 18-19 because cat god told her so and then threw her under the bus the moment she stopped being a vessel for the Three. How her daughter once cornered her in her den afterwards, handed her deathberries and screamed at her to kill herself with them and she didn't even give a fuck. In the end her daughter just agreed that keeping her alive would be far more torturous than any kind of death and let her go. She's still not even allowed a little bit of grace at her own fucking funeral and her son shit talks her dead body. When she gets through her trial to StarClan/kitty afterlife (they heavily considered just throwing her in cat hell for her harlot crimes but her sister defended her really hard) and is officially dead for good she says that she's glad to be here. She asks to see her dead body from the communal StarClan TV and has zero reaction to it other than "huh interesting" while her sister does the same thing and is so horrified she has to look away. It's explicitly stated numerous times how happy she is about it. Her sister literally discovers a way to go back to life via a pool portal and asks Leaf to come with her and she's like "NO lmao" and that's it. I'm sick she makes me sick clawing at the walls and tossing her around like a ball
