At the end of Veil Of Shadows, Squirrelflight made Lionblaze her deputy, Then when Squirrelflight was kidnapped into the Dark Forest at the end of Darkness Within, Lionblaze was still her Acting Deputy. So what do you think? Is he The Acting Leader now or not?

The excerpt for The Place of No Stars makes it kind of obvious that he's the one calling the shots now, so he's definitely the acting leader for the time being. That, and the article from the website asks who he's going to choose as his deputy.

I have the The Place Of No Stars pre-ordered on amazon and it is expected to arrive April 6th. Can a book arrive on the same day as it's release date, though?

what kind of state does your clan have to be in that your acting leader got knocked off and the acting deputy has to become the acting acting leader and assign an acting acting deputy

I think he is the acting leader, for better or for worse. I just hope his acting deputy can rein him in and stop him from making impulsive decisions.

Bramblestar and Squirrelflight. Now Lionblaze has to run the Clan on his own for the time being until he assigns a new Acting Deputy.

Give me ThunderClan as the main antagonists. This is the only potential good thing that can come out of Lionblaze potentially becoming leader.

I feel like Lionblaze will barely have the wits about him to be a good leader right now
It's clear that he's VERY (and understandably) distressed about the loss of his parents to ASHFUR. Hopefully his deputy isn't as close to the situation.

I think Thunderclan will become more interesting like it was under the imposter, I think Lionblaze will do something rash and stupid.

I'm actually interested to see where Lionstar goes, if Bramblestar and Squirrelflight don't return. He would be an agressive, rash but extremely loyal leader, i'm very intrigued to see him in action.
But seeing all the deal with nepotism, it's unlikely he'll become leader.

I agree with what Fallowpaw said.
But honestly, I wouldn't mind a Lionstar. A ThunderClan leader who isn't as kind and rational? Yes please!

Man poor Lionblaze. From acting deputy to the acting leader to having to assign an acting deputy while both the cats who raised him are in bad situations, and having to manage a disunited Clan... I can't imagine what sort of stress he's under and I wonder how he'll deal with it.

I think it's rather obvious from my current status and hover text that I'm excited to see Lionblaze be actually somewhat important as his storylines in both the PoT and OotS arcs were quite lackluster.
A possible ThunderClan leader who has the potential to make some shit go down? Yes, please!

I can't imagine what sort of stress he's under and I wonder how he'll deal with it. Not to mention that two of his kits just up and left the Clan, becoming kittypets. His attempted murderer is directly responsible for the disappearance (and death, in the case of Bramblestar) of both his parents. Ashfur is now roaming free despite Lionblaze very strongly wanting to kill him, and he just discovered that the cat who is responsible for it was about to escape the repercussions by being encouraged to run away by his parents and close kin, and now having Tigerstar II accuse him of just showing off his new promotion as acting leader. Like you said, ThunderClan's a mess right now and now he's shoved into the leadership position. This situation affects him rather personally and I really wouldn't be surprised if he's bottling everything up inside. I hope he'll have a deputy that's perhaps not as affected as he is, and has a level head to help lead the Clan.

An antagonistic ThunderClan sounds nice in theory, but not with a Lionstar. He's a (past) protag, and Firekin, meaning he will never be able to do any wrong. Worse comes to worst, We'll have a leader who stirs shit up, causing trouble and the narrative excusing it with "he was misunderstood", "ThunderClan's really in the right"... etc, etc.
A Thornstar or Duststar would be better than this, we would have an aggressive leader who probably screws things over and they won't have the protag insurance to say they're in the right
Sparkstar could also work, but she's related to Firestar and legally cannot have the narrative against her

Give me ThunderClan as the main antagonists. This is the only potential good thing that can come out of Lionblaze potentially becoming leader. I agree, actually. ThunderClan has been generically 'good' for so long, and a shake-up of morals would be refreshing. That being said, I made this post with one specific drawback in mind: Can you imagine the kind of petty fights Lionstar and Tigerheartstar would get into? They're two hotheads who act first and think later. If their deputies weren't able to hold them back, I think there would be some kind of hundred-year-war between ThunderClan and ShadowClan over something stupid; like a misplaced scent marker, or Lionstar looking at Shadowsight the wrong way.

Lmao you’re definitely not wrong. I didn’t think of it like that. I feel like with something like that it would be really great to have if we got it from the perspective of an outside clan - like make the three protags WindClan, RiverClan, and SkyClan. SkyClan borders both so they’d be witness to it all, and I can just imagine some WindClan or RiverClan cat being like “ah god damn it, they’re at it again”.

Being a protagonist is no guarantee of being portrayed in a good manner in the future.

Being a protagonist is no guarantee of being portrayed in a good manner in the future. The issue in SqH is that Bramble was painted as such to make the reader sympathize with Squirrel more This was done so many times with Tigerheart it makes me dizzy, in his/his kin's povs he's shown to be making harsh decisions because he's "under pressure" or "worried"... whereas from any other pov he's just an ass 80% of the time, like in AVoS or SqH This is shown especially with ThunderClan. All the other Clans are constantly villainized to stir trouble, like Onestar and Mistystar with their 180s Honestly, I find it very difficult finding any protagonist (excluding villains ofc) being shown as morally wrong, aside from the character butchering the writing will do to make another character look good in comparison.
