#tigerclawstar

i seriously think that the eeriest part of tigerclawstar’s death wasn’t the method of death, but the fact that he kept coming back to life to die again moments later through all nine of his lives. like, yeah, the disembowelment was hella violent and possibly the most gruesome death in the series to date, but i feel like no one brings up how it didn’t tear through every life at once. i mean, yeah, he lost all his lives to it, but he lost them one by one. firestar deliberately notes that tigerstar was revived eight times, yet almost immediately died a few moments later from the severity of the injury. i feel like that’s the most overlooked part of the scene, but i think it’s the most horrifying part. can you imagine dying a terrifying, gruesome death, being revived, and having to die from it again immediately a total of eight times??? it’s such a freaky thing.
