Every time I see people talk about Sansa and Arya's relationship as "just sisters being sisters" I think about that one girl on TikTok who was basically stalking her sister who went no-contact and kept responding to comments criticizing her with "it's just a sister thing, you wouldn't get it". Like! Being shitty to someone isn't okay just cause you're related to them. Personally thinking a certain behavior is normal/harmless does not mean the person affected by it feels the same way! Arya being mocked and having self-esteem issues is referenced often throughout the story, all the way into ADwD. How people read that (jk I know you guys don't actually read her chapters) and think their issues will magically disappear is beyond me. "Stark sisters lover" but the only time you talk about them is when you're centering Sansa and her feelings 🤨

mulling over that feather and storm post im making (sorry for the delay lmao i fell deep in the pokemon special interest) and trying to think about their relationships or lack thereof and how im gonna organize all that, and i just had a great idea
what if feathertail was mothwing’s original mentor
leopardstar still mentors hawkpaw, but feathertail gets mothpaw as like a gesture. and on the surface, leopard is extending an olive branch, because becoming a mentor is a HUGE honor in riverclan especially, where the system originated. especially for feathertail’s age, she’d only been a warrior for a little while at that point. and it made sense to some cats because sasha and feathertail were close. (note: feathertail’s characterization is different here and her relationship with sasha differs from canon. she no longer gets angry with sasha for being involved with tigerstar, but there’s still some conflict there that i wanna figure out. like perhaps stormfur gets angry instead and the two argue?)
but feathertail knows why she got an apprentice and stormfur didnt, why leopardstar didnt continue the siblings training siblings trend- it’s because shes on her “best behavior”. aka, she doesnt rock the boat or cause drama “over the past”. she’s a warrior that “lives in the present”. and her maturity and grace will do wonders for little mothpaw. and it serves as a little punishment for stormfur for not forgiving honoring his clanmates.
so feathertail and mothwing both struggle with being doormats and on mothwings part, theres some learned behavior there. but the two are also very close and care about one another a lot- so when feathertail leaves, mothwing’s lost a core part of her support system

one fundamental thing to understand about me is that i immediately tunnel vision if anything upsets my closest friends (not everyone thankfully! but like the besties). if this doesn't explain literally everything i've ever done in my life then simply investigate further <3

i feel insane i feel so insane. i feel so goddamn fucking insane. feels like my sisters won't allow me to even be civil to them anymore every interaction ends up with all 3 of them insulting me and when I tell them shit like "you're being mean" or "i don't think that criticism is coming from a place of love" they just try and justify themselves and insult me more. no one is on my side but I'm so so convinced that if an outside party came and observed what was happening they would see i'm being bullied. maybe i am insane. maybe there's a reason no one is on my side. i know i'm not perfect but goddamn. i love them so much and it feels like they hate me. i can say the world's most neutral statement ever and one of them'll have a snide and insulting comment about it and then everyone acts like i'm being unreasonable if i react. and again if i call them out and i say "you're being mean. do you not see what you're doing? you're being mean." they all just get excused bc apparently me having a hard time with filtering what i say and having debilitating executive dysfunction is "traumatizing" and their bullying is a trauma response. and they won't let me even fix my behavior bc if i say something that contradicts my past behavior they'll be like "oh so NOW u care about that. you don't actually care 🙄" can i do fucking anything. can i do fucking ANYTHING.
(through gritted teeth) my big sister's coming back from washington next week. next week she's coming back from washington. i think she'll be able to recognize what's happening, right? like if they do it in front of my parents then they'll probably do it in front of her too. but ofc my parents don't care. they are actively against my side in this.

how to explain to my mother that her and I have very different dreams and also I don't exist for her to live through vicariously. also also how to explain that "I feel obligated to do this" is not the same as "I actually want to do this"
