#bb!batear

I could NEVER. There's no improving on them. They're THE dynamic to me.

"If you hurt my friend I will kill you."

"Lol just did! What are you gonna do about it?"

His mom the Clan leader: "What Did You Do?"

Batear: "Dude I was VERY clear about what the consequences of that action were gonna be. He can stay in that shallow grave forever Im not telling you where I put his ass :L"

Fenneldust, in heaven: "ouuuugh i can't NOT walk platonically into hell with him"

In the spirit of giving out new information about them, have I mentioned Batear is gay and Fenneldust is bi. I have an extremely minor but irrelevant flight of fancy that they have both had a fling with fellow Dark Forest Demon Houndleap, and both of them feel too awkward about it to tell the other.

Fenneldust feels like she can't tell Batty because she knows he finds him attractive and doesn't want to be rude in getting to him first

Batear is embarassed he had a fling with him so fast and fell for his flirting so easily, and has quietly vowed that he won't say anything unless Fends does. Because if FENNELDUST says something then it's normal.

Also, him then becoming the patron of finding bodies is a bit funny, like a car crash victim becoming the patron of surviving car crashes. Then again, you can't really complain about getting prayers I guess.

Nope, BB!Cats don't need a proper burial to get to StarClan! It's just extremely disrespectful from the living, and denies the family a chance to grieve since they can't sit vigil and share tongues with their loved one. It's a deeply malicious mortal action.

Also LMAO yeah Clan cats are brutal with their ironic patrons. They love it. It's exactly like how Catholic saints become the patrons of things related to their insane deaths or just straightup insults. Like Saint Elmo who is the patron of tummy aches because they gutted him like a fish. Or how Saint Drogo who was allegedly so ugly he is now the patron saint of the unattractive (and also coffee).

Quick dribble on Fetchers;

Their basics are covered over in StarClan 101

Fetchers can be anyone. They're usually a family member, or a guardian angel, but there's no hard rules with Forest Four.

SkyClan DOES have a hard rule; Cloudstar is the "Grim Reaper" for SkyClan, in what he feels is repentance for his time as the Rat Leader. He is their only Fetcher.

They have to come down and find your spirit. Some Fetchers are better at this-- just because they have a better sense of when death is near, or they were nearby, or they were fast, or you invoked them shortly before the death, etc.

It's possible to run away from your Fetcher if you want, or hide.

BUT, Dark Forest cats can ALSO Fetch you.

In the case of cursed bloodlines like the Appledusk Lineage, very strong fetchers are sent who can fight the rival demon effectively.

Flametail was immediately dragged down to the Dark Forest because of this. That wasn't an accident; they killed him and then kidnapped his soul.

RiverClan cats believe that if your Fetcher doesn't come for you, Ripwater will find you first and bring you to the Dark Forest.

You NEED a Fetcher to get to StarClan. If you are a spirit who looks for StarClan on your own, you will find the Meadow of Young Stars first, and then the Dark Forest.

When you die, you usually get "knocked out." Your Fetcher can bring you to StarClan while you're still asleep, making it seem like you "woke up in Silverpelt"

However it IS possible to die awake. You will suddenly not feel the pain of your injury. It's extremely alarming.

So, Palefoot was able to get to StarClan. It actually did take the Fetchers a while to find him though. He was killed and buried very quickly, and it took him a while to wake up and realize he'd been shoved in a bog. He didn't realize he was dead at first, he thought he'd just been beaten up and thrown in the mud.

He wasn't really taking it in that he was kinda numb, and in spite of being in the autumn bog for a while, he wasn't cold. It wasn't until he got back to the camp that he realized no one was responding to him, and then it hit him that he didn't need to breathe anymore.

It's sorta funny to see the typical "secret murder in forest" thing that happens a lot in warriors, but the leader immediately knows who did it

Oh shoot your brain

Context: Batear's Murder, Houndstar's Summary

Tell not thorn nor lie Speak to me o murder child Trouble's in your eye Speak to me o murder child You bite the hand that feeds and crow So count here naked in the snow Tell not thorn nor lie Speak to me o murder child

-Houndstar

After the spring you shall find him After the snow leaves the hill After the spring you shall find him 'Til then there's no grave to fill

-Batear, in his exile, still ghoulishly proud of himself knowing that they cannot even find Palefoot until the spring thaw makes the bog's peat soft and malleable again... and they'll never learn where to look, anyway.

Weird, idk why Tumblr is hiding the information :/

Palefoot was Batear's victim! Batear and Fenneldust were besties of different Clans in life, constantly breaking rules to hang out. One day Palefoot caught Fenneldust on the territory and told her if he saw her again, he'd kill her.

Batear then told PALEFOOT, "If you so much as look at Fenneldust I'll smash you to death with my hooves"

And then, during a ThunderClan raid on ShadowClan, Palefoot did just that. Killed Fenneldust. So OF COURSE, Batear made good on his threat.

Batear wasn't allowed to sit vigil for his best friend since she was a dead warrior of a different clan, so like, why the hell should he let Palefoot's family have that? Lol. Lmao even. He shoved the body in a bog, cleaned up, and said nothing.

There was never any evidence he killed Palefoot. His mother Houndstar DID exile him over the suspicion, since he had motive, but he kept his mouth shut til the day he died alone.
