How is Tawnypelt and Rowanstar's relationships with their 3 kids?

Complicated.

Rowanstar is a good father, very patient and long since outgrown his temper than he had back in earlier times.

(Fun fact, he was the very first cat to transition at the lake! The sire for the Tiger Flame Dawn litter is his brother, Cedarheart)

He loved his kids ferociously and was determined not to be like his own father, Brokenstar, who didn't care at all that he had children.

With Dawnpelt, he tried his best to be understanding when she had big emotions. Sometimes thought, Dawn REALLY just needed space. He could be a bit overbearing, but while she hated it as a young apprentice, when she saw how some other cats were with their kits, she was at least thankful he was trying so hard, even if it was "a bit much".

She didn't enjoy her father being leader, and was okay with disagreeing with him. She thought his picks for his deputies were biased, she thought he needed to be more outspoken when Onestar and Bramblestar split up Violetkit and Twigkit, and he needed to wrangle in the rebellious apprentices... One of which being his own granddaughter Sleekpaw.

When everything was said and done, and the two met again in Starclan, the apologized. Dawnpelt for being so brash, and Rowanstar for never taking suggestions on board. He... Still regrets not saying anything about the Skyclan Twins.

With Flametail, he was initially very confused when his son wanted so badly to be a Cleric. Surely he would want to train with his siblings? But Flamekit was insistent!

He supported Flamepaw's endeavors, and did eventually understand better it once Flamepaw explained himself. He wanted the connection to Starclan. He wanted to learn more than just hunting and fighting. He wanted to guide cats, and he wanted a position that could make him feel strong and confident without having to be violent. He enjoyed the power being a Cleric gave him, and used it for good.

It scared the ever-loving shit out of Rowanclaw, having an ambitious son. His own father had been known for his love of strength, confidence and power... He'd plunged Shadowclan into a dark age, but... It seemed Flametail had all of the fire, but none of the heat.

Rowanstar was proud of his son, and devastated when he died. He received one of his 8 lives from Flametail for Justice, to always protect the innocent, even when they are ungrateful, and even when they'll hate you for it.

He held onto that life until Sleekwhisker ripped it out of him.

With Tigerheart? He wished the fricken kid would stop growing already! Tigerkit was already a big kitten, but Tigerpaw was Rowanclaw's size, and by the time he had bulked out enough to become Tigerheart, his son was massive. Like, there would have been memes about it.

Rowanstar would never not be proud of his boy, the one who was easiest to understand. Of all the kits, he was closest with Tigerheart. He often took him out hunting, which incidentally is how Tigerheart earns his name early in WCR! The kits are born in Eclipse, and Tiger earned his name early as of The Fourth Apprentice.

Speaking of names... Rowanclaw was not ashamed of the name Tawnypelt picked... But he begged Blackstar to give him "the nicest suffix you can think of". He knew it was hurting his son. He knew it had fractured Tigerpaw and Tawnypelt's relationship permanently. Tigerpaw catching a massive pheasant and immediately fighting off a dog earned him his name early. Blackstar picked the nicest suffix he could think of.

When Rowanstar found out that his son had trained in the Dark Forest, he was sad, but not surprised. He knew his son felt like an outcast, and Ro had the emotional intelligence to look at the DF Trainees and see that... Most of them felt that way too. It was why he tried to push the AVOS apprentices together so hard, why such an emphasis on being part of the group was placed... Tigerheart had managed to find both grandfathers despite his insistence that their family history be kept blank, that they could be a new family... it was one of the reasons he kept Tigerheart so close afterwards as well, he couldn't let that happen, he wouldn't let his son become the person everyone assumed he would be.

Ironically for all their closeness, Rowanstar had no idea until much later that Tigerheart was seeing Dovewing.

With Tawnypelt...? Oh boy....

Tawnypelt has a lot of personality, and sometimes, it clashes with her loved ones.

With Flametail, she wanted to make sure he wasn't just becoming a Cleric because of his tumultuous childhood. After he assured her though, she supported him 100%. Nothing about it bothered her, and she often tried to support him by quizzing him! Tawnypelt was closest with Flametail, if I'm honest. He made her incredibly proud, and she praised the ambition he felt.

With Dawnpelt.... Oh god... You know that Thing that happens when some girls are too much like their mother? That's gotta be what happened here.

Originally, she was going to name her daughter Flowerkit, after Goldenflower. But her own troubled relationship with her mom stopped her. Time is a flat circle for you, Tawny.

Too stubborn, too boisterous, and far too ready to pounce. Dawnpelt, in everything but her fur colour, was Tawnypelt's spitting image. They even sound so alike that Jayfeather sometimes mistakes them for one another if he's not paying attention.

Dawnpelt had her own opinions on life and how things worked. If she disagreed, you'd know it. When she and Crowpaw (Crowfrost) started courting in early OOTS, Tawnypelt disapproved. She didn't like him much, and it got worse after they became warriors and Crowfrost's brother Spiderpelt legs. She thought that her daughter shouldn't be with a cat Tawny had caught sneaking around to visit his brother. When Flametail died and Dawnpelt blamed Jayfeather, Tawnypelt was so wrapped up on grief that she couldn't see what was happening.

She'll never forgive herself for what happened to Dawnpelt. That they never really 'got better'. She feels even worse seeing what her granddaughter Sleekwhisker had become. She blames herself.

But the grand-daddy of all bad parent child relationships is by FAR with Tigerheart. Her biggest baby. She knee what she wanted to name him before he even took a breath. She had let Ro name Flamekit, and had named Dawnkit after the time she'd been born, but the last one, the squealing, brown tabby bundle, she resolved to name Tigerkit.

This single decision almost ruined his life.

No one wanted to be his friend except is siblings. Everyone went quiet when his name was called. No one had wanted to cheer Tigerpaw as loudly as they had Flamepaw and Dawnpaw... He knew why. He took history lessons. He knew why cats got nervous if he got angry, he knew why his mentor, the sinister Oakfur, preferred Battle Training over anything else.

All he wanted was to be himself, but Tigerkit and Tigerpaw and Tigerheart got pulled every which way.

When he finally met his grandfathers in the Dark Forest, they told him he could be whoever he wanted. He could be with Dovewing, of course. He would make his mother proud in a way that wasn't JUST "redeeming a name", and she would stop holding his own name, the one she'd given him, over his head.

He loves Tawnypelt dearly. He'd do just about anything for his mom. But he doesn't like her at all. He's just glad she adores Dovewing.

After the aroace, agender and autistic communities have really advocated for media to stop using unemotional robots that are killing machines and dislike humans as representation, I am extremely sad to admit that by far the best representation for all of those that I found recently, is in fact an "unemotional" robot that is a killing machine and dislikes humans.

[frownyalfred]

a scenario where both Bruce and Tim are out and about as civilians and end up needing a rescue from their respective Supers so Jim Gordon has to sit there and watch as Superman (fine as long as he's just visiting) and Superboy (near-identical to the former but says fuck?) carry the two Wayne family members back down to safety while simultaneously playing the "I've never met this man in my life! Just a lucky rescue! / If you even look at my human I'm going to go feral" game all the way down.

firestar and leafpools father daughter relationship isnt talked about nearly enough on that note

I think about it so often! They make so many remarks about legacy but refuse to hold onto the FAMILY that a legacy should entail! Bad writers! Smack smack!

Leafpool and Firestar - Familial Relationship

In WCR, they have a much more fleshed out relationship.

First thing Fire notices about his newly born daughter when he and Sandstorm (and Smudge and Scourge) get back to Thunderclan is that she looks a hell of a lot like his sister, Princess! Firestar almost came up with a name in inspiration of her, but decided to stick with Leafstar, as while he could not inform his cats of Skyclan, he could at least hope that some of Leafstar's nobility and grace would invoke into his daughter.

Well, he got the noble part right, at first. Little Leafkit was clumsy and a bit uncoordinated. She would rather learn about herbs than practicing pouncing and bounding through the forest like Squirrelkit could.

Firestar has learned from his past attitude and encouraged his daughter to follow her heart. Though... Please talk to me or your mom or aunty Cinderpelt before you taste-test plants you find. Please.

Leafkit grew into Leafpaw, and finally developed that grace! Firestar was so proud of her, to the point of embarrassing her by accident. Yowling across camp "BE SAFE! BE GOOD! I LOVE YOU LEAFPAW!" When she would go for Medicine Cat meetings. She got over it quickly when she heard Cinderpelt speak about her own father, Cricketfang, and how she missed him.

"I LOVE YOU TOO DAD!"

Things begin to get... Difficult, once the destruction of White Hart Woods begins. In WCR, Leafpaw is the cat who gets the message to go on the Road Trip, and Squirrelpaw, ever at her side, joins too. (Along with Shrewpaw) The 2 sisters leave together under the cover of night alongside Crowpaw and Cranberrypaw of Windclan, Tawnypelt and Smokepaw of Shadowclan, and Feathertail and Stormfur of Riverclan.

It is, hands down, one of the worst times in Firestar's life. The forest is being destroyed and BOTH his kids are missing. All he can think is that the Clans are going to go through what Old Skyclan went through, and his daughters are missing.

When they came back, he was terrified and filled with sorrow. The destruction was in full-swing, and his children had come back speaking about a lake, leaving, going through a mountain... He believed them, but it was so strange, following his daughters into territory unknown... They were so grown-up.

While Squirrelpaw was reckless and a troublemaker, Leafpaw was a the good one, the quieter one, the one you didn't need to worry too much about. He didn't entirely like how Brambleclaw acted towards his daughter, but he never suspected that Leafpaw and Crowpaw's funny little friendship was anything more than that.

When she left again, with Crowfeather, he was... Sad. But not upset with her. The kind of sad you feel when you know your child has grown up enough to not need you the way they used to. It seemed like such a short while ago Leafkit was calling put for her daddy to sleep in the nursery with them tonight because the gentle rain outside was too scary...

But also sad because she'd never told him. He would have accepted it in a heartbeat, moreso than Brambleclaw and Squirrelflight.

He was overjoyed when she came back, but confused when Crowfeather was not with her. During Leafpool's Wish, he tries to give her some comfort. It's okay, honey, sometimes things don't work out.

She's so distracted with her pregnancy that she just nods along. She feels like she doesn't want to burden her father with anything more, what with Thunderclan still recovering from The Boar Attack, including Cinderpelt's death.

She never told him the truth about The Three. But Firestar wasn't stupid. The shape of Jaykit's ears and the stripes on his pelt, Lionkit's eye colour, and Hollykit's voice... He knew they were hers, and putting the 2 puzzle pieces together for their father was not hard. He's come a long way as an orange cat.

Like Shrewfeather though, he assumed it was out of a kindness. Maybe Squirrelflight couldn't have kits of her own, and sweet Leafpool had acted as a surrogate with Crowfeather to provide kits for them. He felt that he shouldn't pry.

Leafpool felt so guilty at not telling her mother and father about things, especially with how close they were to The Three. When the secret came out, she quietly walked into Firestar and Sandstorm's den afterwards and cried to them. They understood and weren't mad in the slightest.

When the secret came out, Firestar was hesitant to punish Leafpool, she'd been through enough... He didn't want to punish his own daughter but when whispers of blood clotting were beginning to start, he had to do something. He wasn't going Onestar's route, when Onestar denamed him into Crowpaw.

He still demotes her, but it's more a formality. She broke a vow about her Starclan connection but let's not prevent cats from getting medical treatment if they need it, okay? He has her go through some Hunter training with her aunt, Lightflower (Princess) but talks in Thunderclan have begun regarding an alternate permanent position for cats that aren't Medicine cats but cannot hunt. In the mean time, she takes up odd jobs all around Thunderclan and hangs around her parents.

Firestar dies protecting Leafpool and Squirrelflight, whom Tigerstar calls "abominations" and attacks during The Great Battle. Firestar dies, but the sisters escape, botb in shock and grief, only getting worse when Tjgerstar drags Firestar's seemingly lifeless body out into a clearing to show off. Leafpool will never forget her father's flaming, holy spirit rising out of his own limp body when Tigerstar least expects it, destroying him, before finally taking his rightful place in Starclan.

And the trial? Ooh, that'll be a doozy. I am going to leave this bit vague, but let's just say there's a reason Firestar still has his title of "Leader of Lionclan".

Moon Flight had better watch herself.
