still wish shadowsight died instead of bristlefrost. not out of any particular malice towards the character I just think HE was the one most consistently tangled up with the imposter.
he was his first target, and continued to be throughout the arc. rootspring had the brambleghost subplot for a bit; and bristle HAD been pretty involved through the imposter manipulation until root needed a reciprocating girlfriend.
not saying it's impossible for bristle to sacrifice herself instead, but the character we got in end...well it felt like she didn't earn the grand finale y'know?
also with shadow gone we wouldn't get sadboy angst over a dead lover or whatever (I have no idea how prevalent rootsprings grief has been in asc btw. if at all.)

There is something neat about Bristlefrost being the one to make the sacrifice play to get rid of Ashfur given the parallels set up between them during the first book. Namely, that like Ashfur, Bristlefrost gets rejected by her love interest in favor of another cat, Spotfur. But by the end of Lost Stars, she's coming to terms with it and actively working to let go of her jealousy toward Spotfur, while Ashfur obviously let his fester. At the very least, it seems clear that Bristlefrost's chapters being unusually focused on romance (especially for the first book in an arc) was purposeful.

Was thinking about how Bristlefrost died believing that the future she wanted had happened.
What if that is another aspect of The Void?
You’re still wandering in complete darkness, but you’re filled with the happy memories of what happened and what could have happened, you’re filled with thoughts of the life you wish you had--believing that it did. Maybe you even see it, live in it. It’s an illusion, but you never realize.
But if you were a murderer? 
You’re only in the dark.

"He closed his eyes and touched his muzzle to the grass. Pressing his paws against the ground, he let his thoughts reach deep into the earth. She wouldn’t be there, but he searched for her anyway. His heart trembled in his chest as though it still believed she must be there somewhere, listening for his call. Suddenly, images streamed through his mind—of Bristlefrost leaning against him beneath a willow tree, running beside him through the forest, curled with him in a nest with three tiny kits, two pale gray like her, one yellow and white. It was as though the earth held memories of what should have been as well as what was. Or perhaps it was simply showing him what he’d hoped for with all his heart."
The ending of Broken Code was so heartbreaking. I cried a lot, so decided to draw something for it.
(tap or click for full image, it’s transparent! :3)

Can I get some post-bristle death headcanons or even headcanons on what happened to bristle after they got caught in the dark forest lake pleaseee
hihi!! im really sorry mobile tumblr deleted your ask i think??? anyways yess bristlefrost!!!!!
post death headcanons for bristlefrost:
❄️i think maybe theres sort of a post death limbo that cats get sent to after being killed for a second time.
❄️these limbos contain important locations from their lives (or simply echoes of these locations, as the dark forest lake wouldnt be in bris‘ limbo but there is something reminiscent of it)
❄️sometimes, if a cat has a close enough connection to another double dead cat, they can gain access to the other‘s limbo. bris, redwillow, and snowtuft are all closely connected, so they are able to visit each other.
❄️they spent a lot of their time worrying about the world they left behind. eventually they learned that they could watch over the world through the "moonpool"/"dark forest lake" in their limbo.
❄️they dont regret that they killed ashfur. they only regret not saying goodbye to their loved ones and making amends with their siblings.
❄️they spend a lot of time with redwillow and snowtuft, telling stories and learning about each others clans.
❄️they hear the distant voices of their loved ones, sometimes, or the distinct laughter of kits. it made them deeply upset at first, but now it reassures them that their loved ones are happy and safe.
❄️they still hope that someday, theyll see everyone they loved again.
❄️i think eventually sparrowfeather, silverhawk, and maggottail fade and are connected to the other three limbos. they join in on the stories and talks about their clans.
❄️id like to think that sparrowfeather knows how to swim and teaches bris
locations in bris' limbo include:
🗺the pool of starry memories, the aforementioned moonpool/df lake combo. it is a pitch black pool containing endless amounts of stars. it sits in the middle of their limbo, a spiral path leading to the shore just as the real moonpool's path does. with a swipe of a paw over the surface, anything a cat wishes to see can be viewed. this is how bris watches over their loved ones, communicates with redwillow for the first time, and sends her dying dream back onto earth.
🗺the bramble thicket, the place where bris caught the mouse that allowed them to pass their warriors assessment, lies northeast of the pool of starry memories. bris dug a small ditch beneath it and lined it with moss and flowers. it is a warm and comfortable space. this serves as bris' nest.
🗺the endless ice lake, reflective of the lake the clans live around. due to its importance in their life, it is present in their limbo. it is south of the pool of starry memories.
🗺the mossy quarry, an overgrown version of the thunderclan camp, lies not far from the endless ice lake. it is filled with moss, vines, flowers, and herbs. bris has blocked off the leader's den with vines.
🗺the island of dreams sits in the middle of the endless ice lake. it is the entry spot for visit spirits, as well as where bris first arrived. a constant full moon is present here, no matter what the time of day is outside of it. it is lit by glowing mushrooms and fireflies. it is usually the meeting place for bris and their friends.
🗺the gorge to oblivion is far more akin to where bris died. it is a cliff that lies between the rest of bris' limbo and the pool of starry memories, and has a straight drop into pitch black, starless water. it is unknown what happens if a cat falls in. a large, mossy tree trunk serves as a bridge. it is reminiscent of the branch bris shoved over in the df.
🗺the clearing of the rebels is also present near the endless ice lake. it is a mirror of the rebel camp/skyclans old camp. it is very peaceful, and often used by bris as a thinking space.
���the endless meadows are on the far side of the mossy quarry. it is a massive, seemingly endless flower field filled with symbolic flowers. a massive pond sits in the middle of it, with a small island in the middle. an ancient willow tree grows on the island amongst lush vegetation.
🗺the rest of bris' limbo is made up of a maple, oak, pine, and cedar. there are seasons here, but a cool breeze is constantly blowing. winter remains the longest season here. it is common to see fireflies and glowing mushrooms. it is incredibly peaceful and safe. it is constantly snowing above the trees, though this snow only ever drifts beneath them in the winter. distant mountains can be seen from the tops of trees. oaks, pines, and cedars match their actual placement around the lake, while maples grow around the pool of starry memories, the gorge to oblivion, and the bramble thicket. streams and rivers are also present in their original placements. parts of the limbo (such as the endless meadows and the endless ice lake) fade into a white mist on their far ends.

Headcanon - Bristlefrost always hated flowers. She saw them as useless aside from the few she knew from the medicine den, not even liking them as decorations since in her opinion, they wilted too quickly for it to be worth hanging up. After the colorless, foul-smelling Dark Forest however, she grew an appreciation for colors and the sweet smell of even the smallest flowers. Her "litter” was all named after flowers and Rootspring would bring her flowers that he found on border patrols simply to make her smile.

Mistystar's last words were:
"Let all cats old enough to swim gather to hear my words! (....) We must discuss this. Mosspelt, I understand this is a lot to take in, but I've explained to you many times what took place in the Dark Forest. Is it that you and the others don't understand what happened? Or don't you believe me? [....] Why do you think I would lie to you? [....] I refuse to take responsibility for something that happened before I was born. My parentage was never a problem for Leopardstar when she made me her deputy. And clearly it was not a problem for Starclan when they gave me my nine lives and my name. Or do you think you know better than Starclan, Owlnose? [....] Are you including me? Do you think I've been lying to you? Or are you questioning my judgement? Haven't I always been a loyal warrior, living my life by the code and leadong my Clan accordingly? [....] That is kind of you, but I'm not sure I agree that Riverclan is above this sort of trouble. If we'd had a rule like this, perhaps Leopardstar would never have succeeded in joining us to Tigerclan. [....] That's not how it's supposed to work at all. [....] The Lights in the Mist were the cats brave enough to travel to the Dark Forest. Which is more than some of you did. They battled Ashfur and saved all of us: Starclan, the Dark Forest, and the living world. After all the Lights in the Mist did and sacrificed, what right have you, Duskfur, to doubt their intentions? Bristlefrost and Graystripe gave their lives. [....] Yes, I was wrong to defend Ashfur when he was posing as Bramblestar. But, can't you see, that's why-- [....] I need help. [....] This isn't about prey."
Following her death, Frostpaw speaks to her spirit, who says:
"We must move on."

man..... im always sad when a new series starts and we lose sight of the previous protagonists. i really liked rootspring and shadowsight, even twigbranch! but now twigbranch barely gets a line or two in a book and rootspring is completely unheard of. at least shadowsight gives some input here and there as a good friend to frostpaw....... and i miss tree!! i love tree!!
