Harestar why

Tigerstar not being Literally Perfect is great but please don't drag Harestar down with you

Wasn't Harestar mentioned to be xenophobic before though?

Finleap disgusts me in this book. He basically tries to peer pressure Twigbranch into having his kits even after after she says she wants to focus on her duties first. His reason for this is because he wants to make sure that Twigbranch wants him and so that he'll feel at home in ThunderClan. Here's the line: "But you know what I mean about kittens," exclaimed Twigbranch. "I'm not ready. I want to concentrate on the mentor role. I have said that. "
"I know." Finleap held her eyes. "But I need you to rethink it. I need to feel like I belong to you - that you want me. If you never want kits with me, I'm unsure if I'll ever feel at home in ThunderClan. "

You'd be correct! Seems like Strikestone is the only decent cat out of littermates.

*sigh*

Yay, another nice love interest going down the Road of Bumblestripe so we can cheer against him...

Seriously, that's gross. Is it really so hard to write a tom who's okay with being rejected, Erins?

Oh my god.

...Is it bad that I'm kinda happy that they seem to be ruining Tigerheart's character? Pfft. I'm horrible. But also what the hell, Harestar?

What is happening? Are we in the dark timeline, Warriors-wise? Crowfeather's book was (arguably) good, Alderheart is feeding cats deathberries in the vague hope it'll help, WindClan has regressed after Onestar seemingly jumped into Harestar's body after Harestar was shown as a reasonable cat, Tigerheart has gone watered-down Brokenstar 2.0 and demanded hunting rights in another Clan's territory, Twigbranch is being strict with her apprentice after having two strict mentors and hating it, and I'm so confused!!!
