Here's a concept, within the idea I have already floated of Ashfur replacing Brambleclaw as the Sundrownplace Patrol representative of ThunderClan (leaving Brambleclaw space to take a leadership role in Graystripe's stead as the forest is destroyed & for him and Hawkfrost to bond as the interim deputies of their respective Clans) and the idea brought up to me of Bramble & Squirrel as mentor and apprentice: What if part of his being a hard ass on her in the second half of TNP is about him not thinking she is fully ready/mature to be a warrior? What if there is tension between them due to him objecting to her promotion-by-heroism? What if part of why he doubts her judgement of Hawkfrost is due to still seeing her as the same impulsive teenager that left on the journey and not the cat who came back?

I am now continuing to read with this idea in my head and honestly it just makes waaaaaay more sense for how they behave towards each other and I think really smooths out things that seem otherwise very condescending of him if you take them to never have been in that kind of hierarchical position to each other.

as an alternative to "like siblings" bramblesquirrel, i've grown to like mentor/apprentice bramblesquirrel (even if it would mess with like. the plot of late tnp). basically just emphasizes the "me and this annoying kid i have to babysit" energy right from the start, and i like brambleclaw at least initially being a snappy impatient mentor who's bad with apprentices rather than the Generically Okay Teacher basically every warrior cat gets to be

See! I like this a lot!

For omnis vir tigris I went for exactly this as the dynamic between Hollyleaf (who is the Brambleclaw analogue) and Squirrelpaw. And I think that it helps the later part of the plot if Brambleclaw is seen as a serious deputy contender and thus fulfils the mentorship requirement instead of because destiny says so.

I think this also has precedent on a continuity error that was made before. And as a nice bonus, it preserves the ThunderClan mentor to apprentice leadership hand off they had going on from Sunstar to him.

if you don't think that your comments on fic matter please consider this: I got a slew of them across different fics I've written over the past few days from several different people. Each only said a small thing they liked, but it gave me enough of a boost to start thinking of something new to write and now I'm 6k words into an outline for a new story.

Comments do matter.

Wait does that include the two that fell down a cliff chasing Leafpool? Because I can't imagine they looked pretty. On top of the smell, having to see that every time they stepped on the clearing to pick up food or share tongues is quite the grim picture lol

Yes! Squilf's internal monologue mentions them specifically. Even if they dragged them onto the shade, I can only imagine it would be quite unpleasant to see the splat mark and the trail of blood towards where they were keeping them.

Continuing my reading of The New Prophecy now and I got to say, what a weird fucking detail to add about ThunderClan keeping the bodies of dead ShadowClan warriors for three whole days before returning them. Those things must fucking stink.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN

If you don't remember: the very first chapter Firestar announces they are going to return the corpses of ShadowClan warriors who died while assaulting ThunderClan on behalf of the Mudclaw rebellion. He mentions that it has been specifically three days since the battle. And they have been keeping the bodies in camp under the shade but that's literally all the preservation they mention. Again, those things must stink.
