personally I don’t hate gray wing nearly as much as everyone else because he’s a great example of having rose colored glasses just because ‘well, he’s family’, and not realizing until far too late that that essentially ruined his life and made him amount to almost nothing. Because clear sky is his brother, he wants to assume the best of him. Surely, my brother would never. Surely he didn’t mean it like that. Surely he’ll do better next time. He’s my brother. He COULDN’T be a bad guy. So he keeps giving him chances, over and over and over again, until it’s completely destroyed him. Until he can no longer breathe, his lungs full of toxic smoke that clear sky abandoned him to breathe in, until he is under his claws, nearly killed under the moonlight, until his people are battered again and again, until borders become inevitable. But he never, ever realizes, because- it’s his brother. Surely, his brother will do better next time. Surely, he didn’t mean it. Surely, he will change.

And believing that is the death of him.

#It was always to my understanding that he died early BECAUSE of the lung damage #And that the fire and leaving gray wing behind was on clear sky. I don’t remember how but I remember it was #Clear sky’s actions got gray wing killed in the end. But he loved his stupid brother so much he was blind to see it until he literally died #Hell. And even after.#Because- they’re brothers. Surely. Hell do better next time.#Like people who keep forgiving their family over and over #Ohhh but hes changed!!! No he hasn’t. He may pretend for 10 minutes but he’s going back after another #but it’s my mom/dad/brother… I HAVE to have a relationship with them… because… yknow… family….#When really the best thing to do when you have a clear sky is cut that fucker off #Because he will slowly drain the life out of you and everyone around you #BUT. I don’t HATE the person who doesn’t cut off their family member #I feel SORRY for them. That they can’t realize how badly they’re hurting themselves keeping this up #So. I don’t hate gray wing.#Clear sky is a bastard and I’d say I hate him as a person tho. but not as a character either #Because he’s a villain and those motivate plot. I know they change their mind later. But I didn’t. I didn’t forget #And I choose to believe the powers that be didn’t either. Given skyclan all dies within the next decade and stays gone for generations #But I guess none of that is CANON text. It’s just also not NOT canon. It’s not an AU au because it like #COULD be why. They just didn’t say one way or the other #Anyway gray wing is really just like. A pathetic wet mop of a guy #Definitely no wise sage #But I do not hate him. I cried when he died at the end of path of stars #I pity that he never got to live a life free of all that toxicity because ‘but we family’.#Like a lot of older. Perhaps religious raised. People I grew up around with shitty family members #No you don’t owe it to anybody no you don’t have to respect thy father and mother if they don’t respect you #You never asked to be born. Etc etc #But that. They gave me something and family is family and blood is thicker than water attitude #Is very common around rural religious areas. Which is. What I think of the clans as. Backwoods evangelicals #ESPECIALLY in the early days #Well. Bulls’ shit is thicker than blood. And that’s what your life is gonna be full of if you stick with toxic people because of blood #Anyway whatever none of this means anything. Just. Saying words
