thoughts? personally, podlight has always been my favorite background character, and i audibly gasped when he made his little appearance in thunder. how do you guys think that'll play out, especially with him being related to curlfeather and everything? (not sure if i have to spoil this, but im going to do so anyway!!)

I personally think Podlight and Duskfur are being manipulated, threatened, and bullied into helping Splashtail. I used to think it was a huge conspiracy and that they were a part of it along with Mallownose, Sneezecloud, Havenpelt, Fognose, Brackenpelt, Shimmerpelt etc. but now I'm pretty sure the RiverClan conspiracy consisted of Curlfeather and Splashtail and the others are manipulated red herrings.

I lowkey hope Podlight turns out to be good or at least morally grey and that he's going to help Frostpaw to go against Splashtail. Or, if he is indeed evil, willingly working with/for Splashtail and also helped his sister Curlfeather with her conspiracy before she died, then I'm kinda hoping for him to not be aware that Splashtail got rid of her with the dogs (which has yet to be confirmed but just seems very likely) and turn on him/works against him once that gets revealed.
Either way, while I enjoy villainous characters a lot (hence my custom title of Villain Enjoyer), it would also be great to know why they turned out that way/what their motivations are. So far, we've got no real idea about any of the confirmed RiverClan villain motivations besides them wanting power (for Curlfeather and Splashtail). That's just boring and I really do hope there's more. Still want Reedwhisker to be confirmed as the mate of Duskfur and father of Curlfeather and Podlight just to give them more of a connection to him (and also thus Mistystar as well as Appledusk's bloodline). At least with Berryheart, we know that she's pulling all that bs because she thinks things should go back to the old ways and doesn't trust outsiders due to the Darktail situation.
So yeah, while I've hoped for a villainous medicine cat for years, Podlight is not really the answer I was looking for. Mainly because I also highly doubt he's a real medicine cat in terms of him actually wanting the position or even having a StarClan connection (although the latter is not a must with Mothwing, it's still important to have at least one healer with one in each Clan, I think).
