bristlefrost kills shadowsight at the imposter's bidding, and then he dies in the dark forest taking out ashfur, wiping him from existence

rereading tbc to remember why i hate it and how i would rewrite it. new protagonists are tree, who is struggling to fit in with the clans, strengthening his diplomacy skills, and developing a relationship with violetshine; bristlefrost, whose short-sighted devotion is taken advantage of, and she is compelled to do terrible things and live with the guilt; and shadowsight, whose connection to starclan is used against him and everything he loves, who sacrifices himself to rid the world of a great evil.

rereading tbc and this little part stands out to me. bristlefrost, i actually don't think spotfur was blaming squirrelflight for bramblestar not letting her send out patrols?

the "rule" is stated in forest of secrets, but i have a feeling that it was cooked up just for bluestar's situation. i agree that the litters of early into the wild were fatherless just because the erins didn't think to give them fathers

I keep seeing people talk about this unspoken rule in the first arc where if a she-cat had kits and didn't announce the father, no one would question her. And I don't know how the fact that this is a headcanon to explain some first arc weirdness and not in the text got lost in translation.

Yes, Ashfur and Ferncloud's father is never revealed in the text, but there's no indication that Brindleface is keeping this a secret. In reality, the Erin's just didn't give them a father when they wrote the kits into existence. The same way Sandstorm has no parents and deciding her parents are Redtail and Brindleface is an out-of-book retcon that happened years later.

This is a great headcanon to handwave away kits materializing out of nothing without making everyone more related than they already are; I like this headcanon and have adopted it into my own fanclans' lore. But no where was it a rule in TPB, unspoken or otherwise, that a she-cat could show up pregnant and mateless and no one would question it. It's a Watsonion explanation to a Doyalist hiccup that isn't even supported.

When Yellowfang has to give Brokenkit to a foster mother, she is immediately questioned, and the matter is only dropped because she says his mother, who she implies is not herself, doesn't want anyone to know, and iirc Raggedstar also chimes in (though I may have made this part up), and Lizardstripe isn't going to question her leader if he seems unbothered

Another Watsonion explanation that makes just as much, if not more, sense re: Brindleface's non-existent mate is Fireheart just never thought to ask. It could be literally any single tom in the clan, or a loner or a kittypet, or a RiverClan cat and we will never know until an Erin decides to retcon one in (and no I don't like Whitestorm as this choice) because the cat who fathered those kits never existed in the first place.

thank you so much, that means a lot to me!! i came up with the characters about three years ago, and they've gone through a lot of changes as i've figured out more what i want their stories to be. they'll probably change a lot more too lol

i would love to make a full-fledged comic, but i don't think i have it in me, so smaller pieces it is!
