XD for a while the fandom nickname for The Power of Three was Teapot (because TPoT) and Omen of the Stars was Oats
I keep mentally reading it as a noise??? what animal goes OOT OOT at the top of its voice inquiring minds need to know
Just appearing to say that I was obsessed with these and read up until... Uh. When is the whole thing where one of the three is not the three again? That. Also read way too much of the background universe stuff. And roleplayed being in a clan on the playground Dunno how the fandom works. Hi
So much better. I mean I will probably read the rest because I am gay for everyone in this book series.
I WAS REALLY SALTY ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED WITH HOLLYLEAF NGL I do like some of the new characters but seriously Never Forget (also was it just me or did ashfur come right the fuck out of NOWHERE)
@Technicality Er, I think you meant to post this to the RP thread! Also sorry, we're leaving medicine cats, leaders, and deputies sort of...nebulous? mmmainly because the idea was to start this adventure off as all apprentices, and also because they're the like...special/powerful cats of a clan!
it was not just you i remember reading that book and THEN!! SUDDENLY ASHFUR??? there mightve been setup i missed at the time but it definitely seemed like he went from having a bit of relevance like an entire series ago to being Background Cat to being BAM right in the middle of everything
also like....is it Just Me or does it feel like his need for vengeance over Squirrelflight choosing Brambleclaw over him was. really random
as far as I know there was a Bit of Squirrelflight/Ashfur stuff?? And then she was like...sorry it's not you it's me But like...it wasn't really ever brought up again ADMITTEDLY Ashfur was a HUGE DICK to Lionpaw when he was training him, but still???
but even that I feel like was "??????" because like...prior to that it wasn't made a huge deal of??? you would think if he was hurt enough to TRY AND MURDER HER CHILDREN, it would've showed somehow immediately after the fact that he was Really Deeply Hurt. also question how tf did Squirrelflight fake a pregnancy and how did Leafpool hide one like Squirrelflight would not have grown or changed in terms of pregnancy shit at ALL during Leafpool's pregnancy, how did she come back with kits and just "surprise!!" and how did no one notice Leafpool being even slightly pregnant
RIGHT???? Like...it seemed like it was NBD right up until Lionpaw, at which point they seemed to decide that they NEEDED A PLOT POINT hrmm. I think w/ Leafpool, people Saw what they Wanted To See? And there were a shitton of jokes about Squirrelflight being so "silly" that she didn't even NOTICE she was carrying kits it's possible she might've tried to eat a bit more, so people would think she was slowing down or something!
it felt like plot fixes the ashfur thing felt like it was For Plot because there needed to be a baddie and ashfur was there? like there was no setup it was so weird idk i kinda liked ashfur before? he was a jerk but a lovable jerk then they made him Evil :(
yeah, it was suuuuuuper random. okay but like. did she barely show at all? did she not eat any more than usual? HOW DID NO ONE SUSPECT ANYTHING I mean I can MAYBE buy people being like "oh haha Squirrelflight is so "silly" of course she wouldn't notice" but??? she literally wouldn't have changed AT ALL? and Leafpool HAD to have changed. I feel like it would've been apparent from what we know of in-book cat pregnancies.
