hey, got any headcanons for anemone ?? or maybe anemarin too???

anemoneeee i love her….

and okay so let me just make a disclaimer that most of my headcanons are completely canon compatible BUT i rlly dont know abt anythign involving anemone later in the books, so some of my stuff MAY be ….inaccurate but. whatever i like my anemone the way she is-

so anemone is like. my second favorite character in the series (burn is number one holla hollaaa), because she is SO MORALLY GREY its enthralling imo. Shes a child, first of all, which i think is amazing in itself. The whole literary symbolism of children being innocent and pure and hopeful is completely turned on its ass with anemone, because she was abused by her shitty mother (and maybe father, idk), actually killed someone (not totally accidentally either), and is potentially one of the most powerful dragons in the world. we can discuss the awesome development the animus magic ACTUALLY contributes to her in a minute, but let me finish my train of thought - so essentially anemone is this chaotic whirlwind of a dragonet, instantly marked for greatness at the second you meet her, and completely defies standard literary symbolism, acting as a HUGE thematic element just by herself…

yo like . if you want the best character development, with the most conflicted and destroyed way of thinking, anemone is ur girl. hoooooo boy lets..lets keep going. 

She was raised on Corals hip from when she hatched because of her mom’s obsessive control issues, a disgustingly abusive hover mom who raised her daughter to LOATHE the idea of being tethered to ANYTHING (hint hint, morals), and to always be the absolute center of attention. A lot of people can flatten anemone to some petty rich girl trope, which is viable, sure, at surface level, but anemone (and honestly a lot of characters that fall in the rich girl trope) live on the praise and encouragement of others. Anemone is INCREDIBLY jealous of everything (note: not envious), and fears 1) losing the few things she has (her ‘friends’, possessions, stature, etc…), and 2) being alone and unappreciated. Bc she has absolutely 0 self esteem (shes a princess (she was born into that, didnt earn it), is an animus (is isolated from everyone and treated like a weapon), and has never had the freedom to /do/ anything other than be the two things i just mentioned. and she is AWARE of this and therefore is aware of how absolutely awful her life/self is). 

okay so, lets talk about…the animus magic. So animus magic, fundamentally, chips away at ones sense of judgement the more you use it (at least thats how it worked in arc 1, god knows what the fuck tui changed in arc 2, but idc im going off the first way), so the more you use it, the more reckless, and “insane” you become. so anemone, raised as a weapon, and raise with the EXTREME desire for freedom to do whatever the hell she wants, is obviously going to have some judgement issues in the first place. this animus magic acts as a trial of sorts, pushing anemone into this really interesting and unique moral threshold, where she can either recognize her flaws, accept them, and grow from them, or silence them more and become some chaotic disaster. so really she gets put between a rock and a hard place, and she has to choose, on the spot, which way she needs to go. ill let you think of ur own ways you would want it to end, but personally ive always enjoyed the idea that she teeters towards accepting herself (not completely ofc), and ..that whole thing. yada yada. happy-ish ending. woohoo

so anemone is this volatile, manipulative kid who really just wants validation and freedom, but has been stifled and shoved in a metaphorical box since she was hatched, and labeled as a potential danger, good for mass destruction. she has the potential to represent two different themes; 1 being that (in the happier ending scenario) the acceptance of pain, flaws, and that kinda stuff allows for growth and can help mend her behavior, 2 being (in the more grim ending) that the succumbing to ones trauma/etc and allowing it to define you and how you act ultimately destroys you, and those around you. (hopefully you can see why i enjoy the first ending better…)

and…if you’l allow me to take this a step further (and longer lol…), i’d like to talk abt my headcanons for future anemone…

so assuming she gets out with the happier ending (lets not talk about the sad one), i like to believe that anemone stews as princess for a while as tsunami continues managing the school with the other DoD, really bitter at her mom for being abusive and shitty (duh, me 2 anemone) and trying to forgive her mom, but really unable to, and ends up just getting more and more vengeful. so eventually, when shes probably 8 or so, she actually challenges coral for the throne, and after a really..rlly intense battle, with a lot of passion and pent up anger from anemone and bewildered betrayal and anger from coral, anemone ends up killing her mom and becoming queen, and then has to deal with a lot of second-guessing and guilt and just. tiredness, but ultimately (after a few years) recognizes that she /doesnt/ have to forgive her mom, or ANYONE for the shit theyve done to her, and that its her choice. 

and she decides that she is gonna fucking SLAY as a queen, do waaayy better than her mom (who literally just wrote shitty fanfiction all day and let everyone else do the governing…..), and tries to be honestly? the best dragon she can be. im so proud of her. my little girl…all grown up………………………….wipes my tears

aaannnd regarding anemone and tamarin….i think its definitely a little kid crush, (i mean…in canon they are literally children) so i dont see it getting too far (tamarin is pretty gentle but i dont think anemone is ready for any kind of serious relationship until AFTER she figures herself out first. otherwise she’s probably gonna end up hurting other people. 

BUT i do enjoy the idea of her being gay. i mean ofc i called it (all my favorite characters are not straight. burn? demi/aro/gay/idk but shes not straight. coconut? gay. blaze and glacier? hahahah gay. i just call them how i see them, i dont make the rules.), and im GLAD she is gay….bc…..well duh. it works w my headcanons p well too bc my gay queen? who fucks the system because she never actually has any kids, and it ends up that her successors are either auklet or tsunami’s daughters. 

so idk i dont rlly ship it hardcore. softcore is a hard maybe, but. its a kid crush its not rlly. serious or anything lol. 

so….wowzah i talked a lot. 

TLDR; anemone is super complex and morally grey and becomes a gay queen who destroys her mom and fucks society because she can.

I'm going to scream I just imagined Bluestar going into the nursery to see a new litter of kits and the queen is like "oh that's Ratkit" and Bluestar is like "Oh... why hello little Ratpelt..." and the queen is like "Did you seriously already pick out my day old kits warrior name" and Blue is just like :)

FMKSFSLD SHE WOULD SHE WOULD

thats literally bluestar to me she walks up to a kit like “oh thats little brackenfur” “he’s a kit still?” “:)))”

she picks her names out early and she sticks TO THEM

You know, I don’t think the Erins did any research at all when it came to developing Jayfeather as a blind character. Not only did they not know how to write a non-offensive blind character, they certainly didn’t know how to write a blind cat.

Blind cats can move around their environment like any other cat, even if they lost their sight later in life. Cats pretty much detect most of their surroundings by scent anyway. If the kitten was born blind then its likely they’ve gotten their entire habitat mapped out almost straightaway.

Blind cats are capable of detecting the slightest noise around them, so in theory they would be capable of hunting and possibly fighting. During patrols they would follow the sound of their Clanmate’s pawsteps and voices - everyone is usually within hearing distance anyway so this really wouldn’t be a problem.

Blind cats keep their eyes shut for the most part, since there’s really no point in keeping their damaged eyes open since they can get clogged with debris.

Literally five seconds of Google searching and some common fucking knowledge about how animals work, and Jayfeather could have been a more interesting character - not only that, but his blindness wouldn’t have made him “useless” and he wouldn’t have been forced to be a medicine cat.

To add to that, Longtail shouldn’t have been thrown under the bus, either - he would have healed, then adapted. He might have lost his sight later on but he knew the forest by scent as well as sight by that age. A little training in how to be careful where he put his paws and honestly he wouldn’t have needed to be shoved into the elder’s den all because a rabbit decided to fricassee his eyes.

hi! do u have any scouge and/or hawkfrost hcs? i wanna what u think abt my best boys..

sure thing!!!

- scourge is rly gay like hes super flamboyantly gay and its ust,,, a known fact. hes gay. hes also trans!!!

- canon but he holds onto a grudge like a mOTHERFUCKER and wont let it go…ever….not even about serious stuff either, like one time someone in bloodclan called him edgy and he doesnt forget about it. ever.

- he hates the term smoll or soft boy and if anyone uses that 2 describe him he freaks tf out

- sorta hates the studded collar he has bc he wishes he had chosen a more,,,, easy intimidation method aka “these teeth and claws kinda stink and i cant clean under my neck a lot and im sorta grossed out by them but i’ll do it for the edge…”

- he cant walk properly and shakes his paws a lot; bloodclan has the term ‘shake break’ for him bc he cant walk without shaking his paws

- he’s not really ‘silent and scary’ more like “i wont say it to ur face but if u insult me i’m never gonna forget that shit. i’m going to hold u to that for the rest of ur life. u borrowed five bucks from me, i’ll remind you of it every day and charge u INTEREST”

hawkfrost:

- alos sUUUPPPPER gay. he’s gay. so gay.

- he’s kinda small?? not puny or teeny tiny, but small compared to the rest of his family. he sorta hates it and will punch u if u call him the baby

- oddly enough the only cat who could ever like, stop hawkfrost mid tantrum or calm him down fully is brambleclaw. like i imagine if they were raised together, hawkfrost would only stop getting upset if brambleclaw came to sit next to him or hold him or something, he loves his brother a LOT

- hes also rly protective of brambleclaw, or used to be?? back when they were on good terms aka in life, he would get really protective of his big bro and also sorta annoying about it too like he went up to brambleclaw while crowfeather was talking to him and was like “this is my brother. not yours. get your own.”

- had a crush on crowfeather for like .5 seconds but realized it was a Mistake and mothwing knows about it and oh man. oh man. she never lets him live THAT down

- hawkfrost is definitely his fathers son in ways brambleclaw never was nor could ever be; they have the same impulsive, quick-to-anger personality, both of them are sorta vain, they both let passion get in the way of things they’ve been working towards, etc etc

you know what makes my fat kitty so great?

she’s my best friend

she likes belly rubs

she lets me lay my face in her tummy

she meows back!! every time!!

whenever I start singing she comes running just to listen to me

when I’m having a bad mental health day she knows and won’t leave my side

she likes to sleep next to me every night

she’s ornery as hell

the vet says that she’s really fat but she’s otherwise healthy and isn’t sure why diet food and exercise didn’t work so he gave up trying to understand her

very gentle with the chinchillas, thinks they’re kittens

whenever I lay down for a nap during the day she comes in, too

she’s harness trained
