What if Ivypool, in her grief, wanted someone to blame for her daughter’s death. Ashfur wasn’t enough, because she needed someone to direct her anger to, someone she could see and someone who mattered to be angry at (Ash is double-dead so what does snapping at him do?).

So she chooses Shadowsight. He started this all, didn’t he?

And Dovewing just snaps

She goes off on Ivypool, saying how she has hurt her (Dove) for long enough, and she will NOT be hurting her son too. She deserves to grieve, yes, and she doesn’t deserve her pain, but it’s always HER pain.

Ivypool never once considered how Dovewing felt. She wasn’t even bothered to talk to her before Dovewing left, and didn’t bother talking to her when she returned or when she announced she would be leaving forever for Shadowclan. She hated Dovewing because she got powers, but never wondered how the burden of such a prophecy cost Dovewing.

She didn’t consider why Dovewing didn’t like Bumblestripe and loved Tigerheartstar, nor did she ever respect it. She just wanted her sister to be with someone in the Clan because she didn’t like Tiger and it didn’t matter to her that being with Bumblestripe would have made her unhappy.

And it goes beyond Dovewing, too. She broke her own apprentice’s heart when she refused to help look for her family just because both Dovewing and Tigerheartstar would be on the patrol.

And Dovewing gets it. She gets the resentment when they were apprentices because they were young and Dove was in a prophecy and it was important and ‘cool’, but it wasn’t. Suddenly, Dovewing was burdened by so much responsibility when she was so young. Ivypool did too, training in the Dark Forest, but that was MOONS, even YEARS ago.

Yet Ivypool still resents her for it all, still resents her for following her heart. She didn’t even bother saying hi to Dovewing’s kits, and now she has the audacity to blame one of those kits for getting Bristlefrost killed?

yellowfang thoughts

the more i think about it, the more i realize how much of a deeply, deeply tragic character yellowfang is. everyone talks about how much she fucking sucks after she becomes a starclan cat, and they’re absolutely correct; she goes from the cool grouchy grandma to a complete fucking hypocrite. and for the longest time i thought this was completely OOC for her, but it recently hit me over the head that it might not be. to say that this change in character was intentional would be giving the erins WAY too much credit knowing who they are, but the more you think about her life and what she went through, the more it makes sense in a twisted sort of way.

starclan forced her into a life she never wanted. she wants to train as a warrior, but she is cursed with the power to feel other cats’ physical pain and badgered into becoming a medicine cat by sagewhisker until she gives in. she falls in love with raggedstar, but as as soon as things go south for her he offers no support. when she dares to go against the destiny that was laid out for her, when she continues to meet with him and becomes pregnant by him, starclan punishes her; not just by having two of her kits die, but by condemning the surviving kit to become a tyrant and a child murderer. he turns against his parents; he kills his father and frames his mother for his own crimes not knowing who she truly is, and yellowfang is forced to watch this all unfold from a distance, unable to tell her son the truth and wondering how things could be different if he knew. and finally, for the good of the clans, she has no other choice but to rip out his eyes and then poison him. her own son, the kit she herself bore, dead at her own claws. a cruel twist of fate for a cat who never wanted any of this, who just wanted her own life.

so by the time she gets to starclan, her experiences have changed her. so many innocent lives were lost and the clans were nearly destroyed because she disobeyed, because she went against their will. she even forgives sagewhisker for being so shitty to her because now she’s convinced that she was the one in the wrong and her mentor, a messenger for starclan, was acting in her best interests all along. she’s become so thoroughly traumatized by everything she went through that she decides she cannot let another cat experience what she experienced. now that she’s a part of starclan, she has the power to prevent something like this from ever happening again. but that’s just the thing. she’s a part of starclan. she’s a part of the system now; the very same system that screwed her over. and the system chews people up and spits them out until they become just another cog in the machine. so instead of going to the root of the problem and questioning the level of influence starclan has over living cats, she not only perpetuates the cycle but becomes an active participant in it.

and because firestar is the son she should have had, she sets her sights on his descendants.

she cannot prevent leafpool from bearing kits, as these kits have their own destiny they must fulfill. so she tells leafpool she must give up her kits, just as she had to. she lies to squirrelflight that she will never have kits of her own and that the three are her only chance to be a mother so that she will take them in. when they arrive in starclan moons later, she and others have the audacity to judge whether they are worthy to join their ranks or should be damned to the dark forest for their actions when they not only did exactly what they were told to do, but did the same things that she did and still went to starclan for (though to give her some credit, she is at least more sympathetic than the other judges and even defends them; perhaps out of guilt?). she allows ashfur into starclan on the basis that he “loved too much,” because her relationship with raggedstar warped her view of what healthy love should look like. she forces the kin of firestar’s kin—namely, jayfeather and dovewing—into destinies they want no part of; they’ll learn to love it, just like she did.

and she thinks she’s doing the right thing. she’s learned the hard way that going against starclan will only lead to more suffering. she’s convinced that she’s helping them, that by acting this way she will be able to prevent them from making the same mistakes that she made. but she cannot see that she is only inflicting on other cats the exact same suffering that starclan inflicted on her.

and if that isn’t tragic, i don’t know what is

Just some TigerDoves nothing too crazy. For DoveWing it's like she's holding a stuffed teddy bear and for TigerHeart it's like he's being held by a big fuzzy bear

if anyone asks me why i love dovewing so much its because shes.. literally me. little ol' 7 year old me related to her so bad😭 the child prodigy, the gifted kid, everyone having really big expectations for you, people being so jealous of you to the point of hate.. i related to her because i saw her powers as being like my sensory issues, her troubles as being like my insecurities, i could see myself in dovepaw to dovewing. my first warriors book was fading echoes and my first favorite warriors character is dovewing. she was my favorite character and she always will be

#i headcanon her as aromantic and autistic for a reason #i love dovewing..shes 100% one of my comfort characters #i may or may not project onto dovewing #dovewing #i love dovewing #rambling about dovewing & how connected i feel to her and imply how important having a character like her was to me as a neurodivergent kid #did i mention having to mature fast and having a childhood that bares absolutely no resemblance to an actual childhood

Do you think Jayfeather and Lionblaze resent Dovewing, not for leaving, but for having the family they never got to have? Dovewing got to join her mate and raise her kits with him. Jayfeather and Lionblaze never got to know their mother until it seemed too late, and they still never really got to know their father. Dovewing has the “perfect” family, while Jayfeather and Lionblaze grew up in one that was perfectly imperfect.

my little warrior cats,,, hollyleaf and her magical dream connection to dovewing that only exists in my head

this is how hollyleaf would also learn to understand and forgive her parents, as dovewing would talk about her halfclan relationship!
