yknow how in leopardstar’s honor, they changed leopardstar’s backstory so that rather than having supportive adoptive siblings that went as far as delaying their apprentice ceremony for her, and having the clan spoil her out of pity, they made her adoptive sister abuse her, removed the delay bit, and heavily downplayed the spoiling so that instead shes a poor little meow meow?
everyone’s already talked about how it’s a lame attempt to go “oh she’s sympathetic because she’s a bullying victimmm” rather than dig into the complexities of her character, but personally, that stuff sticks out to me as another example of the new team being wayyy more meanspirited than vicky.
like… leopardkit’s backstory was tragic but it was nice to see riverclan be nice to her and for everyone to step up for her, even if she was spoiled in the process. its one of the parts of crookedstar’s promise that really sticks out to me, honestly, how the cats came together to help out this orphaned kitten because of how horrible her birth was. it’s a sweet moment to come out of a terrible thing, yknow?
and in her SE, they replace that sweetness with even more trauma with no real payoff to it. like i don’t think the skyheart stuff goes anywhere from what i’ve seen. and it feels so on-brand for the new team, which constantly skips over positive stuff like twigbranch becoming a nicer mentor offscreen, squirrelflight playing with her grandkids, etc in favor of more miserable arguments.
i think that’s why i like revisiting older books still but the new books completely drained me to the point of disinterest. the older books still have their mean-spirited moments (looks at vicky and her opinions on writing romance) but at least they have the nice moments to balance it out. new team books feel allergic to that sort of thing, or at least heavily prefer to wallow in the miserable material without the nice payoff.
#another hit post from yuridovewing#anyways. yeah. new team being allergic to nice moments on screen#I wonder if they think being edgy means you have to be mean all the time. like. they know that they're the edgy cat series#and they're like ''oh! people loved the super edgy stuff right? we should do more of that'' and not really understanding what made that#stuff work in the first place. like I need to like and care about the characters its happening to. but you write them being cruel all the#damn time that I just can't bring myself to care half the time#but in the case of leopardstar I also wonder if the new team thought she could only be sympathetic if she was a bullying victim#like as a leopardstar fan I do think she's sympathetic but she's also super fucked up too? why couldn't I have my super fucked up complex#woman. they also gave her a love interest which was CRINGE!!!!! make her a lesbian you cowards

it is great to see this surge of focus on leafpool and squirrelflight's bond but i think we need to then understand the that ivypool and dovewing are the foil to that in that they are not that close and do not have that kind of unshakable bond and all their "attempts" are compulsive "well you're family" bullshit

Is it just me, or does anyone else feel like the Erins should play around more with the concept of a leader having multiple lives and having the ability to DIE multiple times without consequence? My memory might be a little foggy, but it always seemed like leaders dying was just glossed over almost?
Give me a fresh, capable leader being absolutely traumatized because holy shit did I actually just die!?!?
Give me a Puss In Boots: Last wish style story where a reckless leader has to grapple with the fact that they only have one life left.
Give me an absolutely ancient leader who has been a leader since forever and is old enough so that everyone they held dear is dead forgotten, so old that they forgot who they once held dear.
Like, there's so much potential here and it's (to my knowledge) never addressed!
#I know this is from a leaders pov but what about being a mate or even a friend of a leader and watching them die. over and over again.#what if you watched a loved one get brutalized and die so many times but they don't even seem to care. they say they have so many left and#they came back didn't they? and they'll come back the next time too#but all you can see is how cold their body was. how their face contorted in pain. how the memories of the different ways they have died#merge and connect into one corpse. what then?

a bad show? that's nothing? a good show? sure. but a bad show that, for a brief moment, becomes very good, and then never is again? that'll drive a person to madness

She would not fucking say that. Yes she said that in canon, but I perceive a greater truth unaffected by her writer's misogyny

Not putting it in the tags of the last post but some of the notes arguing against it being like "actually wcs isn't xenophobic/ableist/racist/misogynistic/etc. bc wcs fans just cherry pick examples" and then they reveal that they actually haven't read a wcs book since they were in middle school 20 years ago
#how to explain that there's over 100 wcs books and when you read over a 100 books of a series. sometimes you start catching onto certain#trends. but its also like. yeah discrimination bad is a major part of arc 1. when we are talking about the xenophobia of wcs thats not what#we're talking about. we're talking about the erins reliance on introducing outside groups as villains to the clans. like remember bloodclan#remember how they're evil bc they're godless heathens who don't believe in starclan but the clans beat them bc they do believe in starclan#does anyone remember the kin. or one eye's group. its so dark in here. do we remember how twig and violet were treated#bc the cats thought they were rogues but then they discovered that they actually are clan cats and thats what was bad about how they were#treated. bc they were actually clan cats so they didn't deserved to be treated like that#(but it would be okay to treat a rogue like that with violet going on to be particularly xenophobic against them)#tldr if you preface your argument with ''I've only read like 2 arcs of wcs and I don't think its that bad'' then its very hard to take you#seriously. at least for me.#also limited interaction to this post bc I do not want to discourse about wcs at midnight

Oversimplification of the source material is the strongest weapon people can use to diminish legitimate arguments against a story that aim to actually criticize genuine problems with the writing

a funny thing about having a Problematic Blorbo is that you'll periodically come across a post along the lines of "um let's not forget that [Blorbo] is a bad person..." listing their various crimes, and if you have a modicum of intellectual honesty you find yourself nodding along and saying yeah it's true... but it's the greyness of their character that makes them so compelling... At the same time though you have a little Saul Goodman in your ear going "your honor in their defense: who cares like omfgggg who caresssssss like come onnnnnn"
