#kind of like the og clan history from the field guides b4 they threw in the tribe connection

[shummthechumm]

im kind of torn between keeping skyclan disbanded like canon FQ does, and firestar goes to help rebuild them--or have skyclan still exist (even loosely), and they actually have been functioning as their own little thing for decades now.

like the latter could really cement in firestars mind that the code is not a universally beneficial thing (which he was already question HEAVILY once bluestar reveals that starclan had been lying to everyone about the 4 clans bullshit).

a firestar that feels disconnected from starclan and instead finds strength through his own judgement is always a treat. his desire to lead and protect his clanmates + helping those outside of his clan exists outside of whatever predetermined BS starclan thought they had planned for him. in summary, firestar spends the book unravelling the programming that the clans put him through since he joined.

on the other hand though...i do like that firestar gave starclan the biggest middle finger and actively spends a few months or whatever rebuilding skyclan with his own two paws. reformed skyclan can still be unique and eventually lean more towards the whole "outside of the main clans/code thing", instead of instantly becoming xenophobic like they do in canon. i want them to have automany in their own decisions, but the only way i can see that happening is if firestar didnt try to hammer in the code and whatnot as much as he does in the actual book. bleh
