gripping him

The weirdest part of how Bramblestar is written to me is the fact that a huge part of his character was that he didn't want to be like/compared to his father. And yet the way he's been acting is in line with Tigerstar's beliefs. He's not as extreme as Tiger, of course, but he's still got the xenophobia and the abusive-ness.

And like the idea of him getting corrupted or falling down his father's path unintentionally could be interesting, but that's not what the writers are going for.

Honestly his character has been fumbled so hard. They want him to be a good guy yet write him like a bad guy, seemingly without even realizing it. There's a lot of cool and interesting that could be done with him but he's stuck in this poorly-written limbo. It's kinda sad tbh.

I don't know if the authors think Bramblestar is "done" with his I'm-not-like-my-dad schtick and therefore it's a-okay for them to have him spout this "outsiders inferior" shit but either way they are leaning WAY too hard on Darktail as a solid reasoning for it. Like I get it, the new writers think Darktail is THE evil of evil but every time they bring him up to justify the Clans shitty behavior, it just makes me roll my eyes.

I definitely like Bramblestar as not this overtly evil guy...but sort of a pathetic and super insecure leader who just got where he is based on cats feeling sorry for him (seriously. the role of deputy isn't something that should be given out as a reward). While I am soft for AU's where Bramble is this nice dude who gets to be Squilf and Leafpool's big brother because just because the books want me to forget Firestar was a fatherly figure to him doesn't mean I will damn it-

But I also find rewrites/au's where they lean into it super fascinating. I think @/bonefall's Bramblestar is one of my favorite character he's come up with, love characters who elicit a "what is your fucking problem [affectionate]" reaction in me.

You know, I think what makes me like and hate Hondo Ohnaka so much as a character is the fact he's undoubtedly clever.

He's this flashy high-spirited pirate that does whatever he pleases whenever he pleases, consequences be damned, and who's clearly on top of every situation he comes across. Even the ones where the odds are heavily stacked against him.

His personality, over the top friendliness, and happy-go-lucky "nothing bothers me" attitude also makes it easy to underestimate him. You look at him and don't feel overly threatened.

But then he does stuff like successfully capture Anakin, Obi-wan and Dooku in one sitting; forces Ahsoka into a position where she has to surrender herself willingly; has had a relationship with the ruthless and absolutely cutthroat Aurra Sing (heavily implied to have been both physical and emotional because she trusts him); had some kind of friendship with Jango Fett to the point he knows the best option for Boba is to stop fighting and let the Jedi take him (even if it is to throw him in jail, but even then he had Bossk with him to at least guide him through his pre-teens and so on) because this was never a fight a child could win; and outlived so many strong-willed people who had their lives torn apart by both the separatist wars and imperial era, thriving all the way through hardship after hardship.

Hondo Ohnaka is an anomaly that will always infuriate and leave me smiling. And more people should definitely give him more love.
