fandom about some mf (is a man): you might dislike this character but you have to admit he's very interesting. even if you don't like him, he's a very well-written character. he's very complex. so even if you dislike him you should maybe reconsider that. because he's complex and interesting. and i think deep down he cares so much. there's a lot to analyze about his decisions, which he was force to make due to the terrible position he was put in. and if you don't like him you don't really understand the show tbh.

same fandom about a woman who has done comparable or much tamer things, with a much smaller fraction of fans: this may be a hot take but no one else has said this and i have to get this off my chest. some of you might like her but she is a TERRIBLE PERSON! she didn't have to do any of those things she did. she put herself into a bad situation, inconveniencing everyone around her and showing no remorse for it whatsoever. you may like her but i just don't get it!! if you like her or defend any of her actions, you are probably a real life abuser and hate women. so even if you do like her, maybe think about that. you can like her but you have to admit her flaws. otherwise you are encouraging women in real life to murder others and commit crimes, which is ignorant and wrong. her sympathetic scenes are not even canon because they're so manipulative, performative, and trite. such a waste of screen time very obviously trying to get us to feel bad for a MONSTER! she clearly didn't actually mean any of the good things she's done. deep down she is just a rotten human being with no motive but to make other people's lives miserable. i'm sorry but that's the truth.

Collab piece with @cheesecakewitch!

[stellaclaw]

people on twitter always talk about curlfeather like she's one of the most sick and twisted, irredeemably fucked up villains ever created in the series but she's honestly one of the tamest in regards to her actual actions overall and also dies horribly in the first book of the arc so all of her actions are revealed posthumously LMFAO

[stellaclaw]

when Curlfeather plotting something, her ears curl up and look like little devil horns.

freckie….. i love you frecklewish…… i love you characters with negative ways of handling grief……. i love you characters whose grief is explosive fury…….. i love you characters who lash out and regret it but are so consumed by that anger that they dont want to admit it so they try to shift the conversation back to the source of their rage…… freckie!!!!!!!

the thunderclan one

[stellaclaw]

Frecklewish! I am going to continue with Mapleshade's Vengeance designs through Thunderclan just because I had the motivation for it now rather than later. She is polarized in our fandom but I've never had strong feelings about her as a character. I am pretty sure that she is a younger cat in MV, but she just read to me like a childless woman archetype in such a way that I designed her a bit like a disney spinster. I don't know that I care a ton whether she actually resides in the dark forest or not, but the way she grieves by projecting her attachment to an idea onto children does rub me the wrong way. But that also makes her a complex and flawed character so! At least she's interesting haha

[stellaclaw]

i hate this fandom i end up running defense for a character i dont even especially care for (mapleshade) because ill see the most absurdly stupid takes come from peoples mouths. what do you mean thistleclaw is a tragic villain but mapleshade being evil bars her from being tragic. what do you mean liking a fictional villain is a red flag. jessie what the fuck are you talking about.
