#anxious-multishipper

saw this little guy in central ohio and i’d love to know what he is (i don’t think i already asked, but if i did and forgot [entirely possible but i tried to check] feel free to ignore :))

YIPPEEe!!! OKAY so im not gonna spoil everything (i lied i did) but im hoping to basically branch this out into an au that changes everything i dislike in the series.

so mapleshade still gets pregnant by appledusk and lies to thunderclan. however over the time of her pregnancy, she develops feelings for frecklewish. and near the end of her pregnancy she feels guilt over lying. the two of them grow extremely close and so before she gives birth, her and frecklewish go on a walk together and she tells her the truth. frecklewish is shocked and obviously hurt, and she turns to leave however maple grasps at her tail trying to beg her to stay. Freckle, startled and upset, unintentionally slashes maples face (giving her the first scar). freckle apologizes, obviously upset that she injured maple. she states that she will keep the secret but she needs time away from mapleshade. after that, the last bit of her pregnancy, mapleshade is more or less alone. she gives birth to her 3 kits and adores them. things go on as normal for the most part.

when ravenwing approaches maple, he confronts her about the lie and tells her he cant lie to their clan like she has. when he turns to sprint away, again she goes after them and in anger ravenwing slashes her side. he yells at her and rushes back to camp. maple and her kits are obviously startled so she takes her time heading back to camp.

when there, the clan is already gathered around the high rock. oakstar is at the top and ravenwing is standing below him with frecklewish by his side. maple tells her kits to rest near the camp entrance while she heads into the center to be addressed by oakstar. the whole spiel about her lying is brought up and right before oakstar banishes her and her kits frecklewish runs out and claims that the kits are also hers. oakstar obv calls her out saying "they cant be yours" kinda thing however she argues back. despite his anger, oakstar leaves the topic alone and dismisses the clan since he can't imagine hurting his daughter after everything.

after all this, freckle and maple get back together and raise the kits. ravenwing hates maple and hates that she got away with everything however they make amends when frecklewish gets bitten by a snake on a patrol and maple and raven work together to save her life.

at a gathering riverclan is confronted about their clanmate lying to them. and he basically gets shunned (but is allowed to stay in riverclan). after this he becomes really controlling over reedshine and perchpaw and is a major asshole. he also develops an obsession with the idea of getting revenge on mapleshade in a future battle for what "she did". eventually deciding to attack her outside of a battle. he tries to kill her however frecklewish and oakstar manage to save her and appledusk gives her the scar on her chest before he's killed.

okay now for some bullet point info

perchpaw (appledusks apprentice) ends up in a relationship later down the line with maples son larchkit

patchpaw ends up in a relationship with nettlepaw

oakstar gives mapleshade the position of deputy rather than doestar. her scar on her chest is her leader marking

petalpaw either leaves the clan to be a kitty pet or falls in love with a kitty pet (havent decided) and has firestar and his sister! so firestar is a descendent of mapleshade

each scar on maple is given to her by someone she would have killed in canon. frecklewish's on the face (where freckles are), ravenwing's on the side (where a wing would be), and then appledusk just on her chest to try and kill her

1) i haven't watched much of the criminal minds reboot. i think i watched the first two episodes? but i don't like it. i think the reboot lays into the things i don't like about the show (gory deaths, really unhinged murderers, poor representations of people with mental health issues) while ignoring things i do like about the show (steady character development and family time, morgan, hotch, and reid being there >:( and an interesting analysis into what makes normal people do bad things, not what makes people run multi-level marketing murder schemes[???]). but i also have not seen enough of it to justify any stronger opinion than "i don't like reboots and this will not be an exception"

2) not really a headcanon, as much as an analysis of the show that my friend and i were talking about. but we both genuinely think that garcia and morgan would have ended up together if garcia was skinny...which is garbage because i absolutely LOVE their relationship, and i feel like it did not get any solidity or closure. also reid is bisexual and prentiss is a lesbian and jj is "good luck, babe" chappell roan-coded

3) a femme penelope garcia icon would be...kinda awesome 👉👈🥺

4) again, prentiss + jj = good luck, babe. idk what else to tell you

5) reid x morgan college au rivals to lovers shenanigans would make a great fic

6) comet and koshi (two of my five cats)

7) read any good books recently? i'm reading who's afriad of gender? by judith butler right now, and i'm really enjoying it

hope all of this keeps you busy and makes you happy! feel better soon <3

Let me start by saying this was such a great message to read when I was very sick and very sad. THANK YOU!!! I finally have recovered enough to have half a brain cell so I can reply. <3

1) Tell me what you think of the reboot

I am RIGHT THERE with you friend. I think the reboot has really destroyed a lot of the characters (namely Garcia who is unrecognizable in terms of characterisation in CME) and especially in regards to this season, they made an unsub a main cast member?! So we have SOOOOO much of Elias Voit and so LITTLE of the characters we're here to see. I would trade all of his screentime for one look into what Luke and Emily do outside of the office tbrh (yes, the promo for this week has Emily at home for the first time in the whole reboot, but that's beside the point). I'm def not a fan of CME and I wish the show would have just ended in 2020 and that was that. But since it didn't and because my soul is eternally bound to this fandom, here we are. Thank god for fanfic.

2) Tell me your CM headcanons

"we both genuinely think that garcia and morgan would have ended up together if garcia was skinny…which is garbage because i absolutely LOVE their relationship"

YOU ARE SO RIGHT! They had so much potential and I'll forever ship Morcia and I agree the fact they would be an interracial couple with a fat babe involved was probably part of the reason they never dated. -- That being said, I DO appreciate that they never dated. Because I think it's quite rare to see loving, supportive, flirty, PLATONIC friendships between men and women on TV. Not every m/f duo needs to end up together, I think we definitely need more representation of m/f best friends.

"also reid is bisexual and prentiss is a lesbian and jj is "good luck, babe" chappell roan-coded"

100% correct on all accounts. The way I HOWLED with laughter at "JJ is good luck babe coded" lmaaaaaaaaaooooooooo

3) Request pride icons

When you say 'femme Garcia' which flag are you meaning? Happy to make the icon just wanna get the pride flag right (bc I know there's tons of different flags!).

4) Tell me songs that remind you of your ships

"again, prentiss + jj = good luck, babe. idk what else to tell you"

They are so many songs on that album. Jemily is also very 'Casual' and 'Coffee' too.

5) Give me fic prompts

"reid x morgan college au rivals to lovers shenanigans would make a great fic"

Fun fact, while Fooled Around (and Fell in Love) focuses mainly on JJ/Tara/Emily -- Derek and Reid are important side characters. And they were college acquaintances (established in Part 2)! And they both have dated the same guy (Luke) anddddd they are navigating polyamory together in Part 3. So you may enjoy that series.

6) Tell me about your pets

I love your cats!! I had 5 cats at one point. That's the dream! Tell them all they're so good and fluffy and I love them.

7) Ask personal questions

"read any good books recently? i'm reading who's afriad of gender? by judith butler right now, and i'm really enjoying it"

AAA TYSM!! a myler for you, my friend :D

Hahaha no, alas. My avi is Van, butch king of Yellowjackets, photoshopped into a cowboy hat and in front of the butch flag.

Yes absolutely! Omg sorry this took so long I drew the sketch on my tablet and then my stylus died. Maybe I’ll color this with copics in a bit.

general opinion: fall in a hole and die | don’t like them | eh | they’re fine I guess | like them! | love them | actual love of my life 

hotness level: get away from me | meh | neutral | theoretically hot but not my type | pretty hot | gorgeous! | 10/10 would bang

hogwarts house: gryffindor | slytherin | ravenclaw | hufflepuff

best quality: He’s a really valuable member of the team (even if certain other characters don’t seem to think so). Also he’s really funny.

worst quality: Sometimes he’s not too great to Daisy 😔

ship them with: Daisy, Vincent, Zack, Aubrey

brotp them with: B&B, Hodgins, Angela, Aubrey, Vincent

needs to stay away from: Anyone who wishes him harm.
