Didn't Lizardstripe refuse to give her kits milk, and not care about them bullying Brokenkit? I haven't read the books in a while so I might be remembering wrong, but she seems like somebody who didn't want to be a mother and took it out on the kits consciously and unconsciously
Your memory's just a little bit off; she's mad at Brokenkit for "stealing milk" from her own children.
The way that the writers use Lizardstripe legitimately makes me so angry that I spite-fixed it REALLY hard in my own AU. She isn't JUST abusive, they created a female character whose only personality trait is not wanting to be a mother, and made her evil for it.
There is nothing deeper to the character they wrote. They try to tack on "ambition" to her as ANOTHER reason why she is so awful, but then don't actually show her gunning for any positions of power like Foxheart.
Until the spectacular blunder that is the 7 Fridgenings of DOTC, Lizardstripe was one of the most misogynistic bits of writing in the whole series.
ive never hit randomize on a suffix so fast
I love the idea of 2 cats on the superedition cover and 2 POVS like SkyClan's Destiny, but PLEASE HarperCollins, free my man Wayne out of his cage!!! Stop making him reuse the cats poses from previous books!!! He can draw awesome stuff!!! This cover would also look better if they didn't had this weird white lightning...
me when i lose all my spirit and spunk, become the shell of who i used to be, be berated, scorned, and hated for trying to help my sister (who explictly stated that this couldn’t be shared with anyone else because our community hates mixed couples) (my husband kept secrets from me too), be disowned and despised by my remaining adoptive sons, who are part of a prophecy, lose my adoptive daughter (who hates me) nearly get killed by my stalker ex, have my husband possessed by said stalker ex, be a deputy to my community for years, but be discredited and criticized when put as the main leader temporarily, have my husband refuse to talk to me, treat me like a child, watch my daughter become disclosed after she loses her husband, and have to lead my clan after my husband is shaken after being taken to hell
