(dif anon) So is Ashfur grooming Shadowsight a plotline you would keep/rework in BB? I'm not so keen on the way canon used it to retcon his epilepsy, but I do think a plotline examining how clerics can be vulnerable to abuse from StarClan spirits is kinda compelling

Shadowsight's epilepsy is staying in BB, the Erins can try and take it away again over my dead body

Yes, that's staying and BB!StarClan was reworked with unfairness in mind.

This time around, I'm considering the idea that Ashfur didn't work completely alone. After the events of Squirrelflight’s Horror, Silverpelt's divisons are starting to crackle the stars.

Skystar and the other more traditional spirits are losing patience with the peace that Fire Alone brings, and the ways that the code has been bent.

They feel that honor is being lost in their descendants.

Even angels disrespect the collective; see how Skypelt has its own heaven? With a demon in its midst? There is blasphemy even in the skies.

Firestar and the more modern pantheon are ferociously defensive of the choices of the living. StarClan exists for them; not the other way around.

Meanwhile, Mousefur has gone missing. Others start to blink out, too. This is causing panic... and Ashfur keeps it quiet that he's the only one who knows where they've gone.

The angels that plan action probably were a small group to begin with, radical spirits. Skystar and Ashfur are two of them, and Ash is the "youngest." So when he comes down to the mortal plane and betrays them, very few other angels knew what had happened.

(I might even have a few angels be doing the various supernatural things in that first book, but slowly, Ashfur is wittling down their numbers until it's just him.)

I'm still working out specifics, but the other angels that Ashfur has consumed are giving him a massive power boost. He can use this to jump between planes freely, and he's able to do some whacky things like weave dreams and pull nightmares out of the Dark Forest.

The most important unique power he has, which he can do ALL on his own once he's absorbed enough starpower, is blast Shadowpaw with a bolt of lightning. The electric current runs through Shadowpaw's brand new scar, giving him a connection to StarClan like he's a little radio tower.

Thing is... when StarClan is blocked off, the only signal he receives is Ashfur's.

So, Shadowpaw.

From the time he was very young, Shadowkit has had an unhealthy relationship to life and death

He watched a lot of cats die before he was old enough to really understand it, and the only one who came back was Heartstar.

His epilepsy was so severe it would have been terminal. He was prepared to die as a kit.

Tawnypelt took him to the Tribe to learn more about treatments, bringing back a method of refining chamomile to manage the convulsions.

When people come back from death, it was to serve "a purpose."

He feels like he needs to be special, like he needs to find the great meaning in his life. The reason why he's still here.

In BB, there can be guardian angels. Cats you knew in life who decide to watch out for you in the afterlife. Moleflight is Jayfeather's, Shrewface is Squirrelflight’s. Ashfur poses as Shadowpaw's.

THAT is how I plan to address my criticism. Ashfur DOES build a very personal, trusting relationship with Shadowpaw, pretending to be the one who's here to give him the destiny he craves. Pretending like he's someone looking out for him.

I actually LIKE how desperate the situation was in-canon and I want to stress how none of this was Shadow's fault, so I also plan to keep that they had very little choice. Shadowpaw trusts his angel completely, and Ashfur coaches him on saying all the right things.

The older Clerics are suspicious, but... what else can they do?

Also, instead of framing this all as something Shadowpaw needs to "atone" for, I'm going to make certain cats unfairly scapegoat him for bringing the Impostor into the forest. Shadowpaw himself agrees with them, blaming himself, but he has to learn it wasn't his fault.

He DIDN'T let anyone down by failing to live up to great expectations, and there's no way he could have known that Ashfur was using him. This never happened before, he always made the choice he thought was right and tried to make up for harm done, and he's not responsible for what his abuser made him do.

I actually want to have him figure out some of this by talking to DF demons, towards the end. Cats faaaar more responsible for what they did in life than him.

Ravenwing in particular, who was also mislead by a rogue StarClan spirit, but... ultimately decided that if StarClan was right in their judgement.

He was told (by Birchface, but he still doesn't know who it was in particular) to make three kittens unsafe by revealing their parentage. His choice killed three innocent children, and lead to the Queen’s Rights.

And StarClan was furious that he'd ever believe they'd want something so CRUEL.

And even if they DID want something so cruel... "Then they wouldn't have been ancestors worth following. And that's why I believe it's right that I'm here."

As a Cleric, he had authority on their behalf. And if they would misuse it through him, he wishes he could have just given it right back.

And Shadowsight's lightbulb goes Ding!

The very last thing Ashfur does in TBC, when the jig is up and he's about to be killed by the Lights in the Mist and a bunch of Demons who have come to defend their home, is swallow a Founder-- Skystar.

He takes the level of a true god, and reaches a nearly undefeatable level of power. Instead of black water, he's so large, malicious, and has a gravitational pull so massive it starts destroying the afterlife. It shatters the purgatory (Meadow of Young Stars) into floating cosmic fragments, and Heaven and Hell are set to collide.

Shadowsight confronts Ashfur, politely explaining that he's, well... done a lot of thinking, and, he doesn't really want what he gave him. "You can, uh, have this back!"

And blasts the lightning from his scar right back at him, like a chain, holding the screeching eldrich horror in place. Every ally he's made, here in the DF, come down from StarClan, and as Lights in the Mist, jump to his side. They can't hold down Ashfur, but they can hold SHADOWSIGHT

While they're all supporting him, Bristlefrost sees the one chance to get rid of him, once and for all. A clear shot. She bolts, pounces, and SHOOTS right into Ashfur like a falling star, knocking them both off the edge of the heaven he destroyed, burning up in orbit with a monster a hundred times her size.

And after that, Shadowsight has to go home and live with this.

He gave up the very connection that made him so special, and now he has to go back to being a Cleric without StarClan.

but the other Clerics accept this. They have to. They were all complicit in the choices that allowed the Impostor to rise.

What Shadowsight learns is... everyone was part of this. From those who made the follies with him, to the supporters and rebels against the impostor, to those who helped him realize his worth, to Bristlefrost who ultimately killed Ashfur.

He is valuable because living is valuable.

Everyone, and everything, matters. All cats have a role to play, and he was never alone.

I want to close him out in BB!TBC on a tea scene that parallels the various points in his life. Others used to prepare his chamomile treatments FOR him, in careful doses, because it is a very serious medicine. Now, at the end, he's the one brewing it.

A fully fledged Cleric, who realizes he's never been alone. Cats who love him were around him the whole time, making his medicine, and they'll love him even after he's given up his powerful gift. So now he's at the stage in his life where HE can make that medicine, share his wisdom with others, and find fulfillment in the skills he's acquired over a hard life brightening.

#Ashfur was a scary and terrifying villain worthy of the WC hall of fame #I will make him WORSE #I should change one of the titles to the later books to The Black Hole as a reference to BB!Ashfur swallowing other stars #Maybe the last one since that's where his bossfight happens lmao #I love the vibe of all the morally gray and post-redemption cats of BB seeing Shadow like #''Youve done nothing wrong. Youre literally just baby.'' #Lmao Breeze like 'oh honey nooooo' #Lineup of guys like What Are You In For? #'Tyranny of an ancient civilization' #'Political assassination' #'Attempted murder of a child' #'Did what a bad person told me :(' #And they all drop their shit to be like 'its ok youre ok youve done nothing wrong' #I kinda want to give him an honor title that means 'Whole Shadow' #In reference to the way that when you stand with a dozen people behind you #You only cast a single shadow #better bones au #BB!TBC #BB!Shadowsight

someone called bruce wayne the kim kardashian of the dcu one time and it ruined everyone’s perceptions of what the general public thinks about the waynes forever

#honestly i’d put him at like maybe a bill gates level of fame #like people know his name and know what he does and might recognize his face in public. and maybe know the names of his family members #but i see people act like the wayne’s are like. Famous famous. where people would know all of their names and lives #to me the ideal public perception of the wayne family is people know dick bc ‘omg bruce wayne adopted a kid’ #and they know jason bc ‘aw bruce wayne’s kid died :(‘ #and all the rest of them blur together #not to mention i don’t feel like any of the adoptions would really be public #like cass probably isn’t even legally a person… but that’s a whole different rabbit hole to go down #but i feel like dick is the only one that i feel like people would really know about the adoption #everyone else probably wouldn’t really have like. A Thing made of it #does any of this make sense .. #i don’t know. post.

Boogie you were literally begging for money a year ago and got called out for poor money management also nice job using a debunked photo.

Also what video game is a hit piece towards straight white men? Whatever happened to just calling things bad writing/execution? Everything can't be about the culture war.

#It's quite sad seeing completely normal internet stars & celebs fall thru that alt right rabbit hole just to cling on to fame and money #boogie2988 #youtubers #gaming

Muse have some obsessive, dedicated fans. Where do you think the line is between being in the spotlight and having your privacy invaded? (Bronwyn, 17, Bungendore, ACT)

Everyone should be entitled to be at home, relaxing away from it all and not have people knocking on their door. I get it a bit, yeah, and that’s the place to draw the line. When we’re out on the road we try to meet people and generally be friendly, but I’m that glad we’re not super famous people where we’re chased when we’re going to the supermarket. I expect to be able to go there without having any hassles like that. I don’t want to be caught buying toilet paper!

tfw you've been thinking about deleting your most popular fic from a past fandom

#sally speaks #look #i know everyone over there loves it for some reason #but it's really not good #like at all #the pace is choppy #the tone is all over the place #and there are so many embarrassing simple writing mistakes #not to mention plot holes that the whole fic could fall into #(and ngl it kinda did lol) #and I've grown past the need to keep it up for numbers #idgaf about fandom fame anymore #i write for me now i write to have fun #and imo if you read the fic you can tell that i wasn’t that into it and was just writing it to get it over with #idk man #i just don't really like it much anymore #and i REALLY don't want to have anything to do with that fandom anymore #I've taken big steps to distance myself from that fandom but that fic makes me feel stuck #i had good times and memories but i need to move on #idkidk #god I missed just screaming into the void here lol

Me as a naive older teen/younger adult: "I want to be famous! But like, internet famous so if I ever meet movie stars or the like no one will know why I have people interested in me. The confusing kind of famous."

Me now: *sees post with more than 20 likes or 10 reblogs and starts to panic*

"Oh fuck me, did that photo have location information? No, good. Did I post that on a VPN? Yes, good."

*see's youtube traffic increase*

"Uh oh. I ... did that last stream on VPN right? Yes, good."

#wait out #talisidekick #talisidekick things #trans #transgender #queer #2 posts right now are sitting at 20k likes and it's terrifying because if anyone finds my location like ... #... internet fame doesn't exactly pay so it's not like I can move or leave if someone decides to blast my location online and I don't ... #... have the financial capability to just hole up and whatever happens. i've got a job I have to work to live so I can't ... #... exactly hide. but yet I'm also comitted to doing my best to be a good person in the online sphere and provide positivity.
