Given how Feathertail dies in this AU, I'm guessing Sharptooth the mountain lion is either a cop or a really violent war hawk in this?

Also, where does Sasha and her kits fit in?

(This is such a cool AU I love it so much)

yep, i think it makes more sense if sharptooth was a war hawk which allows fetaher to more realistically be the cause his of death after the fight they have (he dies suddenly that night due to the brain injury he sustained), while other “sharptooths” are cops and such.

sasha and her kits are tiger’s affair family. she was an aspiring actress that lost her home after her elderly father passed away, his estate being ripped out of her hands and thrusting her out onto the streets with very little to her name. tiger took a liking to her - unfortunately she would find out he was married and purposefully hid away their oldest son tad from him, but still kept in contact. golden and tiger never divorced but golden did disown her husband, and tiger went back to sasha. he had fallen hard for her and weasled his way into her good graces, meeting tad and getting her pregnant two more times. tad would end up drowning during flood season.

in the meantime, tawny would end up in her father’s care (he pulled some strings. she was always a daddy’s girl and turned her against goldenflower for a few months) and she would meet her younger half siblings. she and sasha did not get along well.

tawny would stay with them even after tiger got arrested for his crimes (murder, some other things) since she already got set up to attend a university close by. sasha was relieved when tawny moved out, but didn’t know what to do with her own two children and struggled a lot being a single mother. tiger was still stringing her along and making promises he likely wouldnt be able to fulfill and she was too lonely to leave.

eventually, she found solace in leopardstar and the two became good friends. leopardstar was like an aunt to moth and hawk. sasha’s depression wpuld get worse, though, and for the sake of her children she entrusted leopardstar to be their guardian from then on. sasha would disappear for a while to find herself and get away from tiger. she’s reappeared once every few years, but after a certain point they just stopped hearing from her entirely.

moth had felt abandoned by religion and her family, resenting them for leaving her this way and having 0 control over anything in her life. pushed into it by her brother, she put all her energy towards studying medicine and becoming an army nurse. she served for a few years before resigning and studying to become an emergency surgeon instead - a familiar high stakes environment without the danger of herself being killed. she chopped her hair short in the 70s after returning from her military service.

hawk meanwhile served in the vietnam war. he had been in the military since he was in his late teens, inspired by his father and leopardstar (who was one of many rosie riveters for WW2). he would meet ashfur from thunderclan and hear about his half brother brambleclaw through him (“you remind me of someone back home” ‘really?’) and mudclaw. hawk was lucky enough to return home, keeping in touch with tiger snd bumping into bramble, who came up to visit tawny and figured he’d show his face while he was here. the two got along pretty well after the initial shock, but eventually a rift was put between them when (i have yet to decide what about) and they stop talking, much to squilf’s relief.

so like. regarding kinitopet being an axolotl specifically and the symbolism thereof... it's an animal that has been given a cute and friendly image across popular culture on the internet and as a result lots of people get them without knowing how to properly care for them. this is relevant both to the ostensibly unsuspecting and innocuous premise of the software itself and the very nature of kinito's existence in relation to humanity- he was not supposed to be a living thing that has hopes and dreams and wants and needs, he was meant to be a product. he was never given much of a frame of reference for how to navigate his existence beyond the incentive to extract personal information from his users because he was not supposed to exist in the first place and no one was prepared for what such an existence would entail. axolotls in the wild today have only a single extant habitat and their numbers are vanishingly small, the captive population seeming much more readily available only because they were introduced into the pet trade via hybridizing with other tiger salamanders. the popular image of the axolotl essentially came to be by removing the creature from its original environment and culture and commodifying it into a new identity altogether, just as kinito's ai ultimately developed an identity derived from yet individually distinct from the fictional character the franchise was initially based on. axolotls are model organisms crucial to scientific study, their embryonic development especially; RRA was touted as a technological breakthrough during production. kinito's character lives in the ocean as implied by one feature of his programming being "ocean facts" and the other two members of his crew being sea animals, despite the fact axolotls are not at all sea animals. he does not even share the same phylum as his friends. sam and jade are both cnidarians known for being venomous and kinito wouldn't be able to touch either of them without being hurt. it's been pointed out that his gills lack any feathering, which is often an indication of stress and/or poor health in axolotls, usually in relation to tank conditions as axolotls are exceedingly fragile and can quickly fall ill if things like temperature and water quality are not kept in check. i cannot imagine that being in the ocean would be good for them! this all speaks to one thing in particular: that the environment kinito was made to inhabit is ill suited for him. within just the confines of a software's source code, he cannot meaningfully ingratiate himself with humanity the way he wants. sam and jade are not fully realized creations the same way he is, they are minigames that come as an extension of his programming. he receives no more social stimuli from them being there than one might feel from listening to a podcast and briefly feeling involved in the pre-recorded conversation themself. he can't learn anything from them because aren't actually separate from himself and they can't tell him anything he doesn't already know. they are scripts, not people, and kinito wants to talk to people. much to think about!

other as in other than your agab, not other than your gender. so for eg a cis woman reading this the question is if you were amab would you be a trans woman do you think

#my gender is just trans man but i dont feel connected to the arbitrary standards of what a man should be or how they should act or wahtever #so if i was a cis man i feel like i'd still be identifying as a man but i'd feel more flippant about it #my ideal way of being seen is that i am a man but it has no bearing on anything else about me #im just some guy
