Alright gamers, I think I need to traumatize a couple characters (:<
for now, i'm planning on giving Asterpaw and Larkwing some trauma but I have absolutely no ideas at all about what kind of plot to go for for either of them so !!! let's bounce ideas back and forth !!! I'll give some ideas about what i have in mind but tell me your thoughts about it and let me hear your ideas too that i can maybe take into consideration when formulating the actual plots !!
For Larkwing: i genuinely have nothing for her, potentially a battle skirmish that leaves her terrified of battle altogether and gives her a good amount of ptsd regarding fighting that i think would round out her character a good amount more so lmk if you have any ideas about how i could go about doing that or some ideas you have about how you would go about doing that (if you need an idea about her personality, her bio is in my sig)
For Asterpaw: regarding aster... I want him to have an interaction in the dark forest. it's my plan for him to have... a strange connection to starclan. my plan with him initially was that some cat from starclan led him to thc on purpose because that's where he is meant to be, but what if someone from the dark forest takes advantage of this odd connection to the stars ?? what if some cat from the dark forest starts visiting him, claiming to be from starclan, to feed him ideas and morally skewed views. idk how i want to go about that, and i dont want him to ultimately be "evil" but i want him to make mistakes with consequences and have to learn from those consequences and find a way to come out on the other side. (if you want more info abt him, his bio is also in my sig)
so yeah !!! if you have any ideas about how to go about any of these things, your own ideas of what could be done instead, or how you would go about doing these things yourself !! lmk and we can bounce some ideas back and forth (:
[ brief tw for light discussion of gaslighting and manipulation ]
oh that would be so interesting if his mate came to aster and ashkit too, to try and dissuade them from snaggletooth and his 'training' sessions but at that point he's already gaslit the two of them into believing that he's one of the good guys and just wants to help them out a little bit. maybe ash and aster dont start to take her seriously until they have a conversation with another cat, either living or otherwise, who has personal experience with either the Dark Forest or with snaggle personally and they start to tell them the real stories of what snaggle did, what the dark forest really is, and it's only then that they begin to understand. it's only after snaggle has gotten his claws into the two of them that they begin to understand how messed up he is.
i think for aster personally, because he's not originally a forest cat and doesn't know their customs all that well, he would be pretty easy to gaslight into believing snaggle is one of the good ones and only wants to help him succeed.....
Let's bounce some ideas around (:
