Hot take but it makes sense that Firestar chose Graystripe as his deputy. Although it's true that he didn't actually mentor Brackenpaw (that rule sort of gets thrown out the window anyway with Fireheart and later Brambleclaw), he shaped up to be a very different person (cat?) from his early days. He was a shitty friend and made some really dumb decisions with really big consequences, but that made his character a lot more interesting. I think he can be annoying in the early books, but it pays off when he becomes more mature and level-headed later on. It's pretty clear that he underwent some personal growth and changes when Silverstream died and he lived in Riverclan. I just wish we could have seen that development.

hard disagree lmao my man literally betrayed Riverclan by coming back and like. dude you went over there for a fresh start and then end up STILL balling it up and getting your ass thrown out. Greystripe never took anything seriously in the entirety of all six books and did nothing to deserve deputyship

also you're talking to the guy who doesn't think Fireheart deserved deputyship either lmao

#and honestly we can't assume he grew while he was with riverclan #and from his actions it doesn't seem like he grew while with riverclan regardless #like. i get it. he wanted to come home #but he made a decision and like he didn't even just decide to go back #he *betrayed Riverclan and got thrown out* #if he'd just decided to go back to Thunderclan i would've respected that #but nah he had to screw someone over one last time #onion night #anyways ily anon this topic just makes me SPICY agdkfjh
