ppl who HATE hate yellowfang simply do not get it
#ok i’m giving the erins too much credit here but i’m coming at this from a pov that takes these books seriously#her actions in starclan were bad. they were also deeply informed by the fact that she was a victim of abuse and those things never#truly left her#she should not have vouched for ashfur or let him into sc. consider that she stayed with raggedstar and believed he had good in him despite#the way he treated her.#‘his only fault was he loved too much’ always said WAY more abt yellowfang than it did ashfur#consider how hectic a warriors’ life is. she never had the chance to reconcile these things and they haunt her beyond the grave. bro.#i do not LIKE starclan yellowfang but i don’t think the way she acts is out of nowhere either.#wc#she was awful and manipulative to squirrelflight abt the three and her ability to bear children. wait holy shit i just realized the parallel#of lizardstripe taking care of brokenkit and how THAT turned out. medicine cats giving their kits to someone else.. ok what WAS she thinking#and she knew lizard was not a good caretaker so why push for a similar situation???#but also she sees firestar in squilf and probably trusts her to do the right thing. and her hangups abt leafpool are 100% projection#actually that makes a lot of sense. that yellow projects her issues onto leaf.#oh my god she DIED in a fire#the parallels of holly trying to get leaf to eat deathberries and that being how yellow killed her son...#daughter to mother mother to son.#idk. starclan yellowfang is not good but she is certainly very troubled.#i just think the erins and fandom ignore that she was abused and had to kill her son. like she isn’t just fire’s funny grandma#that’s never what she was but the erins are not good at writing so it’s understandable that the inconsistency w her character could lead to#many different opinions on her#i get not liking her. but her starclan character had potential to b good and actually tie in to her life differently than when she was alive#she has hyperempathy. god wait. she felt her son die thinking her a traitor.
