I'm not even gonna lie, I struggle to write smut sometimes. It's one of the reasons why I take so long to release some of my posts. I think about it too much and then back down and change the plot completely 😭

#like why is it so hard?? #that's what she said #but all seriousness #it's difficult

Really liked this recording and thought I might as well post it?

There are a some extra high notes in this though so be careful!! I'm a very squeaky goat!!!

A fic header after Keaton hensons "you"

"If you must mourn, don't do it alone."

It's based on the premise that cloudstriders can't have wants, aka these few lines from Maelstrom. "You don't get to be human anymore. Not with this kind of power. You don't get foibles or fears or wants. You're an ideal."

"You need to be the best things about this city—the kindness, the empathy, the courage—and you give up the luxury of weakness."

So to the angsty fic part of it all, Nimbus doesn't get to really cry or lament because they have to much going on after Rohans death, cut to the Yw who knows what it's like to not be able to mourn because of responsibility but to also know what it's like to be reckless when standing in the blight that is loss. The idea is that when heros are down, who is there to save them? And that's where I'll say. Other heroes and, and those that are close to those said heroes. Basically, the Yw acts as an equal to Nimbus, saying, "With me, you can want anything, you want to, and you can needy as you need to be" and just letting Nimbus have their humanity back in the comfort of someone they don't have to put up a strong facade in front of, so they cry and vent as long as they need/want to.

(And I would say that it's a vice versa situation, where Nimbus would be there for the Yw as well.)

[I hope I wrote all of this in a way people can get]

#destiny 2 #destiny #destiny2 #Nimbus #nimbus destiny 2 #I like to think that Nimbus is more than okay with Yw calling them Dara #especially when they're not in public or on duty #cause the name of a cloudstrider is a calling card #i also like to think that during Neptune storms is when they can breathe a little easier and break for a bit #sorry i haven't had sleep at all #I'll never write this because I can't put my thoughts exactly into words #it's difficult #honestly feel free to if you're up to it!

on one hand, yes praise him

on the other hand, i hope nobody associated with sky besides jenson or naomi even perceives him

it's that horrible horrible balance of recognise how good he is and keep his name out your mouths

How will you handle the breakup of ShadowClan? While the rebellious apprentices made sense always felt that Darktail should have done more to actively help the rest of ShadowClan and appeal to them as a better leader choice, because in canon it seems they completely arbitrarily decide that they like him as a leader better without explaining why the older cats are going against their xenophobic culture. 

@halogenwarrior

I don’t have a STRONG direction for ShadowClan breaks yet besides knowing that every problem ShadowClan faces, should be related in some way to WindClan refusing to help them. I have strong ideas for how it ends, but the rising action is a bunch of puzzle pieces I haven’t put together yet.

But I DO know that there is a specific problem I want to fix with the rise of the kin; that the ShadowClan apprentices were completely inconsistent.

Darktail first courts them with ANTI-xenophobia, then, a book later, those same apprentices were totally on board with the usual Evil Atheist messaging that WC keeps doing; not feeding elders, training kits, killing indiscriminately, blah blah blah.

One could argue that’s because he started them off on something good, then lead them to bad ideological positions... but I think that’s a stretch. It was weak writing. It’s more of the narrative propping up the Warrior Code as this bizarrely infallible guideline that, without which, cats descend into total lawlessness.

So... what AM I thinking?

WELL, I think I actually want to start the apprentices out as being completely right. Their grievances are probably rash, DEFINITELY not well-spoken, but they ARE born out of compassion. A hard bend towards the Fire Alone ideology. They’re sick of not helping other clans, and of not being helped in turn. When Darktail shows up, he exploits this compassion to get the power he wants.

And by EXPLOIT I mean that he never believed this in the first place. He tells them he named The Kin for being an antithesis to Clans and their emphasis on bloodlines, when he only did that for his own daddy issues. He doesn’t want to take care of the weak and vulnerable. He just needs more cats for his army.

A bunch of cats with similar grievances from other clans join him. Ex-DF trainees, half clan cats, even outsiders who previously would have been excluded from Clan society... and, of course, find themselves unable to leave.

So, many of his ex-followers, like Berryheart, end up taking away the WRONG message here. That outsiders are dangerous. That their institutions will fail them unless they re-commit to their old traditions, reviving the popularity of Thistle Law and setting the stage for The Broken Code.

(and on that note several ex-kin members will probably end up joining the various clans, I do want to try to be clear the problem in this case WAS Darktail and his enforcers, NOT a systemic issue... barring that Onestar’s utter failure created him of course)

#You can probably see that there are problems with this... #Problems that are very difficult to avoid because the bottom line is that Clan Culture HAS to have evolved by this point #They HAVE to be less xenophobic and The Kin is inherently a rogue and malicious group #It's a very very fine line I have to walk #With BloodClan it took work but I was committed to making them neutral and ultimately friendly #exactly because i knew I would have to deal with The Kin later on #AVoS is... and I don't say this lightly... an arc that is VERY pro-xenophobia #It says very loudly that you SHOULD be skeptical of foreigners #And YET I'm still TRYING to keep the massive problem with the arc (scary foreigner group) while still saying Xenophobia Is Bad #it's difficult #I really really need to work more on Darktail himself to display HIM as a person who shouldn't have been trusted #But people DID because they were desperate or lonely or yearned for massive change #The way that Nightwhisper was lead astray by Tigerstar because the Clans wouldn't have accepted him otherwise #OH there will also probably just... end up being waaaay less unrelated outsider Kin #With the bulk of the Kin being made of ex-Clan cats #Brokenstar will probably kill the bulk of Darktail's forces in the gorge making Darktail have to start over with like... 5 or 6 cats #So the majority of The Kin isn't actually Scary Foreigners #Can you see why this is hard to deal with? #Bonefall AVoS #Darktail
