#Since he himself is a target for being halfclan

[bonefall]

do you have any plans for snaptooth or flywhisker, ever since I saw that fake map I've fallen in love w flywhisker lmao

You know, for the longest time I've been planning to have Snaptooth and Flywhisker be adopted kits of Toadstep and Lionblaze, but I'm writing an SE rework for Nightcloud right now and I have a temptation.

I found a good moment to send off Snapstorm, the best friend of Brushblaze, as a complication of a boar hunt gone wrong. It's right around the time that Brushblaze's kits are being born, and something feels odd about the fact he didn't name any of his kits after someone who was by his side for his entire life. SO I'm thinking about shuffling Snaptooth over to HIS litter.

Which leaves Flywhisker over in ThunderClan.

Lionblaze is the adopted father of Dovewing and Ivypool... and his terrible parenting caused Dovewing to leave ThunderClan, and Ivypool to be permanently traumatized. He breaks up his false mateship with Cinderheart to go be with the cat he really loves, Toadstep, and Flywhisker is adopted after being found abandoned.

Lionblaze's destruction of the ThunderClan family tree has been undone; so now he would only have three children. Ivy, Dove, and Fly. I like it, because Fly is growing up with all the expectations of being Firekin, but also holding the knowledge that her loving father... wasn't always the best, to her older sisters.

It would be cool if Fly was always a little bit of a rebel, and found a really good friend in WindClan. I could work her into the conflict of TBC better too, being accused of being in a HalfClan relationship when the truth is that Snaptooth is more like a brother to her. Then, of course, have them leave the Clans together.

Brushblaze's litter would be Snaptooth, Smokehaze, and Galerunner... and so, Galerunner would be left alone after his brother leaves permanently with Flywhisker.

But I'm still unsure. It's a big change, because I'd been planning for Fly and Snap to remain siblings in BB. But it does seem to work better, thinking about it...

#Especially since I didn't need BOTH Snap and Fly in that role #Fly can do everything with Twig and have all the complicated feelings all on her own #and something seems very painful about the idea that Lion put his heart and soul into spoiling his youngest daughter #desperate to make up for what he did to dove and ivy #...Only for him to be unable to save her from the Impostor's treatment. #Since he himself is a target for being halfclan #For Fly he did nothing wrong. He tried so hard. He thought he had improved and he did #and it wasn't enough... #And TOADSTEP meanwhile is going to be fucking PISSSSEDDDD #Because Thorn is dead. Spiderleg is taking his roles #And SPIDERLEG is who was causing the troubles that ultimately caused Fly to decide that she was going to leave with Snap #Once again his shitty dad is taking everything from him #Something about this feels like it works Better for Fly to be targeted by the imposter and also the only member of her litter #better bones au #BB!TBC #BB!Flywhisker #BB!Snaptooth
