It seems like it's just a recent development in the fandom, but I've never thought mentor and apprentice couples were inappropriate.
Has the zeitgeist really shifted so much that any deviation from the norm can be considered problematic? What happened to 'live and let live' or 'don't like, don't read'?
I really hope the graphic novels continue to cut out all the unecessary bloat and plot contrivances left over from the original series.
For example, Fireheart saves Bramblekit from the fire, in the graphic novel, without hesitation— which is so refreshing.
I disliked that entire b-plot in the first arc where he's menaced by Tigerkit's oh-so-scary, 'amber eyes'— because it made zero sense, came out of nowhere, and was also, very dumb.
And while I'm sure Bramblekit will face some prejudice in the next graphic novel, with how well they've handled Cloudpaw and Cinderpelt, I think they'll manage to make it work.
I don't know what the fandom consensus is on popular Jayfeather and Lionblaze ships, but I really do like Jay x Cinder, and Lion x Pebble. (I don't really ship Hollyleaf with anyone.)
I see this a lot, so I want to say something about it. You don't need to add a disclaimer onto your opinions regarding antagonists.
When you say, "I like Tigerstar, even though he's xenophobic, and a facist,"
Try this instead, "I like Tigerstar," Then, list what you liked about him.
i KNOW someone else out there sees the parallels between walt+jesse and tigerclaw+darkstripe. i am NOT crazy for this
I know why Harlan gave Parker a Brooklyn accent— But, it was also very jarring to me as someone who always pictured Parker as a first-generation Asian American.
Welp. Egg on my face, I guess.
OMG SO PRETTY. THANK YOOOOU!! ☺️❤️❤️
I've never read WoF, I have no idea why I'm here, anyway here's me as a dragon, lol. I think the snowy ones are called Icewings, so her name is Shard.
Her horns are sharp and shiny. She breathes ice breath and guards a secret door at the bottom of a dark cavern that has a lot of gold behind it.
