Shredshadow's Links
Daughter. She's pretty clever, I get the impression she underestimates me sometimes. Well, the older she gets, the more she's gonna see I was right about. Lookin' forward to it, so don't go dying on me like the others.
Dad. I guess he might be right... sometimes. He is, somehow, the longest-lived of all us descendants of Rustytalon, so clearly he's been doing something right. A general capacity to survive bad situations, I suppose.
Son. He makes a lot of questionable decisions, always has. It's landed him up in BearClan with three kids and someone who miraculously is not his arch nemesis as his husband. No one else would have ever tried THAT.
Dad! I miss him. He always tried to look after us, but we were trouble-makers. I am so, so sorry. I know that I knew this would happen, but I guess it's hitting different now that I've got kids. I'd be freaked out if I were my dad too.
Father. I don't know him too well, since he died before I was born. I'm older than he was when he went now. Someday I'll face him, and he's going to have to see just how much time he missed not contacting me.
Son. I worry for him often. I've never really been able to confront him with the feud going on, and once the rule of the dead keeping to themselves was broken, by that time, I... well, I do not know what to say or do. He isn't a baby anymore.
Grandson. Knot and her children have strange mannerisms, their... their tails kind of... wag whenever they're happy. She says it's a dog thing. Well... I am glad that Sawyer is often a happy dog, all things considered.
Grandpa! Kinda dramatic, huh? Most of us are kind of like that, it's the trauma. He's been in ScrapClan longer than most of our clanmates, but he's honestly not very old at all, we just have a lot of incidents. It... scares me, honestly.
Grand-daughter. I hope she can live a care-free life. She's clever, poetic, and imaginative, things I remember being, and I remember my children being... That'll always be a part of us, but Boa is so bright and cheerful with it.
Grandpa, he's silly underneath all the misery and that. Kind of makes you wonder how much of an effect upbringing has on someone's personality... I try to not think of it much, it's kind of sad to think of the happy lives that never happened.
Grandson. This is what it took to end twenty years of fighting to the death: two funny-lookin babies. Give a round of applause, everyone. I hope they're comfortable up in BearClan... or that they'll want to move down here.
Grandpa. Oh he is one emo motherfucker. So dope. How many people get an emo grandpa? Us. Mosta my family lives in ScrapClan, but I'm up here just waitin' to run on down there and roll a tire around. A big ol one.
Ancestor. Why did they pay more attention to my kits than me? I was so alone... I spent my whole childhood alone, in the dark... a friendless orphan with dozens of ghosts watching me wondering why. At least she helps NOW...
Descendant. He was so fun to watch! He's gotten more mature over the years, which is admittedly not as exciting. He might fly off the rails again if you stress him out enough though, I know it's still in there somewhere. Crazy motherfucker.
Mate. He's... enigmatic, but after this long, what I do know is that I want him. I can't imagine it any other way, except for, er, being alone and sad. I don't know what would happen if no one had any time for me again.
"Mate; we don't always see eye to eye but... he's a good cat and I'm proud to be at his side. I wish Polarspirit was still here."
Child. I'm so relieved that they're okay, like, I was really worried for a while there. 'A while' as in their entire life. All my kids had me pretty nervous, so it's good to see at least some of them growing into functional adults.
"Dad; didn't mean to scare him as badly as I did when I ran off but, you know, can't really help it now. Relationship hasn't been the best but it's gotten better since the snip."
Granddaughter. Grown up already, my oldest granddaughter... it was a lot of growing to get here, but it still feels so short, timewise... time flies when you're having fights, I guess. Have the kids ever seen me in good health?
"Grandpa; he's kind of stuffy..."
Daughter-in-law. She's a good addition to the family. Raised her kits well, became a warrior, and not only puts up with Lighter, but actually seems to genuinely adore them. Who would have seen such a thing coming?
Father-in-law. I don't really have a lot of known family, so I'm glad to be a part of this one. Shredshadow raised my beloved Lighterfluid, and taught me a few things about being a clan cat and warrior. I'll make him proud!!
My grand-daughter, she's a nice kid. I'm sure she'll be the hero she wants to be someday... as stressful as that must be to Scorpion. At least she's off chasing dreams instead of stealing two-leg food like SOME cats I've known.
Grandpa!!!! Hes edgy~
My second apprentice. Thankfully more agreeable than the first one, but she doesn't like hurting anything so hunting and fighting were... a struggle. She does pull through at the right times though. She is married to my grandson.
*cries* I w'nt to be da best but ... ever'one's else alr'ady got hurt enough, why should I add to th't!? ... I'm s'rry...
She's a friend, not that I've had the energy to talk to anyone much lately. A good deputy, probably the best option, at least at the time. She's dedicated to protecting the clan, and backs up that sentiment at every opportunity.
Grandchild. One of Venomscratch's. They both kind of remind me of him, but like, a cleaner, more innocent version. Which is an easy bar to clear, but whaaaatever. All my kids had at least one kid who gives them the problems they gave me.
Grandfather through their parent, Venomscratch.
Adoptive grandson. It seems Venomscratch acquired a bonus child due to circumstances in Goldensequoia's family. Congratulations. He seems like a good kid, which I'd say is a sign they're doing something right if that wouldn't offend Polarspirit.
Puncle's dad... I guess also my adopted grandpa? I did go to him and Palethroat for advice during a gathering, but whenever they actually visit Bearclan, it's to bring bad news lately...
I don't like this pattern.
Son. Monsterprick, for all his grandstanding and fights, was a gentle soul, on the inside. Not outwardly to really anyone, except me. He probably came to talk to me more than any of the other kids growing up. It goes without saying that I miss him a lot.
Father. I often went to him for advice.
Grandchild. One thing that happens an awful lot for this very stressed out family, is that someone will voluntarily step out, and take moons to come back. Don't scare me like that, kid. Jeez... Look, even if we weren't fucked up, it'd be scary!
Grandfather.
Grandson, and the first of my grandchildren that lived to meet us. Was Palethroat right to try and not get attached immediately? I don't think so, really. It hurts, it hurts, but he's in StarClan where he knows all he has to do is watch and wait, and one day, we'll be together again.
Grandfather.
Ancestor. Man, I'm getting kind of sick of ancestors. Only ever really felt like it was my mom looking after me, but there's a buttload of those guys up there, just watchin' you run around and wonder what the fuck they did to put you here.
Descendant.
We used to be best friends as kits. Her mother minded me after mine died, so we were close... until apprenticeship that is. She suddenly changed, and didn't want to be my friend anymore, so... I was alone for a long time.
Used to be best friends... I'll admit it I ditched him. It wasn't kind and it wasn't right. I am sorry. No excuses, I just found a different group. Now they are all dead.
Caretaker. When my mother died, somehow the duty to make sure I didn't do the same fell on Beaverwhistle. Honestly, I do not know how he has managed to stay alive himself, let alone keep Rat and I out of trouble... or, life-threatening trouble, anyway.
Ward. Man good ole Shredshadow- he was such an angsty lil guy but I don't blame him!! He was apparently part of a feud thing and was never told and like most of his kids have been ripped from him! I think if I lost Ratsqueak I wouldn't have the will to keep going myself- good thing he's got that big fella Palethroat to look out for him and he's still got a couple kids and grandkids- maybe great grandkids? I can't keep track!!!
He and Rat used to be close but then Ratsqueak got really really concerned about her appearance or something?? I don't remember.
Caretaker, for a while before she died. I was pretty sad... everyone was, she was a good cat. Looking back, I wonder how she and Beaverwhistle ended up getting together. They were pretty different in personality.
Ward, he was deeply troubled and I wish I could have been there for him more too. Hear he named his son after me- that was sweet if thats true
Mentor. He... kind of sucked to be honest. Not really one for theatrics, which, as you may know, I am all for. There was a lot of dysfunction in his family, Heavy always seemed so sad, and Deep ended up leaving the clan.
Apprentice. He was so dramatic.
