what a weird line of dialogue. Of course his mate is going to stand up for for him and she would depend on her mate to raise their kits. This has weirdly sexist implications in my head that Jagged Peak is some how less manly in Gray Wing’s mind for having Holly defend him.

gray wing being depicted as kind and noble with no spotlight on literally... any of the times he was a jerk, because oh brother do people ignore all the times he was actively awful in favor of him being "kind" (examples include the several times he treated jagged peak poorly despite getting angry that clear sky was treating their brother badly, literally doing nothing about bumble being mistreated despite knowing tom was bad after turtle tail returned to the group and bumble having nowhere to go). like i would not be so bothered if people depicted he wasn't always as "kind" as the books say he is. Yes I agree and I really liked Gray Wing. That one moment when he told Jagged Peak he didn't deserve children made me cringe. Like ofc Jagged was careless with Sparrow Fur, but that was still some nasty, cold dialogue. I kept waiting for them to make up on page but they never did. :[ that scene really got on my nerves. another moment that comes to mind that really shattered his fanon depiction for me was when he was entirely unsympathetic to bumble when she came begging to join the mountain cats when tom started hurting her. heck, even after bumble died...he's more concerned about the fact that clear sky having been a factor in her death is going to affect how his group feels towards him more than any remorse from not doing anything to help bumble while she was still alive. it's one thing for the other cats in the group to be aggressive, mocking, or generally uncaring when bumble came to them out of desperation, whatever. but when our "wise", "noble" and "kind" protagonist does it, and it never gets treated as a bad thing by the narrative or as an action they deeply regret, i start questioning if those traits are genuinely part of their personality, or if the books just say they are. while gray wing does have genuinely charitable moments (such as raising thunder and turtle tail's kits as if they were his own), it grinds my gears to no end how nobody points out these moments of his, because he can be downright nasty.

Jagged Peak did something stupid, and Gray Wing got angry at him, but Gray Wing took it a bit too far, and realizes it. I don't think Gray Wing is a saint, but out of the three brothers he was definitely the "least" canon jerk.

I know this is 2 years ago, but I still wanted to give my opinion. I really never understood why people drew Snowfur with the black dots under her eyes, like EVERYONE does it. Snowfur doesn't even have black dots under her eyes so I find it weird. I also really hate when people draw Violetshine with purple eyes or dark purple fur instead of black. And it's all just because else has the word Violet in her name ;-;
