wtf is wrong with Clear Sky
He's like worse then Tigerclaw and yet he's barley treated as a villain. he kicked out cats for being disabled including his own brother.
His own brother, a mere child, kicked out the moment he no longer has a use.
He murdered a cat for being in their home because he wanted to expand his already most of the forest territory, and then wanted to murder her children after he realized she was a mother who was only protecting her children.
He abandoned his child all because he was sour about his ex wife only to manipulate Thunder into abandoning his real family (Gray wing and Turtle tail) to join his fucked up little group of traumatized cats.
and then when his son breaks up with his girlfriend because he found out that she was actually just using him so that her murderer dad could kill his family easier. you know what Clear Sky does? He marries her!
He marries his son's ex girlfriend.
Who's dad tried to kill him and his family.
What. The. Fuck.
Also not to mention he's the whole reason for the shitty clan system in the first place.
Yup every problem with this series you can blame on Clear sky.
Gray Wing deserves a better brother honestly.
Ooh! We can't forget about the whole Falling Feather and Jackdaws Cry situation.
This mf took Falling Feather's very real concerns about how Clear Sky is leading as treason and then stripped her of all her rights.
He called a clan meeting just to publicly shame her and he told everyone that she is basically dirt beneath their paws and they can and should boss her around like she's worthless.
He told the clan that she is only allowed to eat the leftovers of whatever food was hunted, that she hunted herself because she was talking with her friend about how Clear Sky is kind of shit.
Oh did I mention that he grew up with this cat? These two cats have known each other since birth, how can he treat her like that?
He also threatened to kill Jackdaws Cry when he came to his camp to see his sister. They weren't even separate groups yet.
Anyway because of Clear Sky's horrible abuse of his camp mate's he ended up getting like ten cats killed (probably more) and Falling Feather and Jackdaws Cry ended up killing each other in this battle, all because Clear Sky is worried there won't be enough food in this pray rich forest.
He's greedy and doesn't even barely regret it.
He had two siblings kill each other because he is paranoid. The way Falling Feather acted in that battle really makes you feel how horrible Clear Sky's punishment must have been. She was so desperate to prove that she is loyal and not a traitor that in the end she ended up losing her life and taking down the one cat she cared for most with her.
Wow. Just wow.
The only "good thing" Clear Sky ever did was sacrifice his tail to save Gray Wings child.
I consider that just a fraction of a debt repaied. He still owes Gray Wing so much.
In conclusion, fuck Clear Sky.
And there are probably so many more awful things he did but I don't feel like listing them all. He's just the worst.

warriors does deal a lot with the concept of “war” but i can’t help but feel like the writing could stand to explore how gruesome war can actually be on the people who participate, dawn of the clans the first battle did this pretty well (esp w/ jackdaw’s cry and falling feather), but I feel like the existence of starclan really softens the whole blow of “if you participate in war- the possibility of death is very real and very likely.”
like, if we were to compare this to irl for a moment, a soldier being christian, though they believe in heaven and the afterlife is not made completely fearless by that thought. it’s entirely human to be afraid of death even if you believe you’ll go somewhere afterward.
i guess what i’m saying is that warriors are not nearly as scared as they should be lol. like i love the whole “honor and duty” thing a lot of warriors have going on, but that honor and duty should exist alongside a petrifying fear of the things that war bring. -u- i just think it’d be more interesting that way.

Finally Posting my pfp cat, it’s Falling Feather (and Jackdaw’s Cry)
I really like these two, their bond actually existed unlike some siblings and their deaths were iconic. I was gonna add blood but decided against it so they are just chilling

I didn't want to draw Ashfur, Bluestar, Cinderpelt and Crowfeather cause they are different as hell in the book itself? Soooo friends offered to draw black/white solid cats instead (I chose the black ones because there are more characters I like).
I think about Crowfeather as a black smoke cat, not "very-very dark gray", so he counts here, but Scourge is an impostor a bit with his white paw. I also hate adding red/white spots on solid black cats, I think it ruins their vibes, that's why Scourge and Lightning Tail don't have patterns at all, not because I'm lazy, lol. They are pure void.

jackdaw's cry did what
You know, I meet way more people who don't remember the Jackdaw's Cry Thunder Hate Scene than I do people who do remember. People forget 75% of this arc and remember something completely different.
But anyway here it is;
-The First Battle, Chapter 6
*Gets up on my big box with a megaphone*
DAWN OF THE CLANS IS ANTI-ADOPTION. IT DOES NOT SAY ADOPTION IS A GOOD THING. ADOPTED FAMILY IS ALWAYS TREATED AS INFERIOR TO BIOFAMILY.
Jackdaw's Cry and Sharp Hail are both portrayed as resenting their 'adopted' kids. Gray Wing is immediately dropped by Turtle Tail's children when Tom the Wifebeater "reveals the truth". Thunder is Clear Sky's son and it says this over and over and over.
I'm not kidding when I say this is the worst arc of warriors. What they wrote is SICK

"'No!' Falling Feather's horrified yowl caught his ear. He glanced sideways to see Jackdaw's Cry bite hard into his sister's spine. She jerked, flinging out her paws, then slumped onto her belly. Thunder recognized the prey-look of death. He stared at Jackdaw's Cry. The tom's black pelt was slick with blood. He staggered, eyes glazing, then collapsed lifeless onto his sister's body."
