Does Onestar go to the Dark Forest? Cuz I remember you mentioning you dislike "redemption through death" and he technically did violate Darkstar’s Commandment by abandoning his own kit so :/

No, he does not go to the Dark Forest

They don't instant-damn for single violations of the Warrior Code, though they do blame him for abandoning Darktail and are a lot more pissed about him allowing The Kin to get as bad as it did.

But, this is before the Law of the Lake, and during a time StarClan is much softer. He DOES get a Trial, but not enough of them are FURIOUS angry to enter emotional-override.

It's very... disappointed. Loving but disappointed. Especially from people like Firestar and Tallstar, who wanted Onestar to rule peacefully, and help the other Clans. The people who are angriest with him are the people who loved him the most.

Cats like Skystar think he was great. Cats like his dad Cloudrunner wouldn't damn him.

But I do think they allow Darktail to testify at this trail. He needs to go to the Dark Forest, he's an evil cat who horribly drowned several young warriors, but they will still allow him to say his piece on the cat who abandoned him.

"...And I hope that you all vote to accept him," He says to wide eyes, "Because the worst punishment of all is having everything he denied me. His friends, his family, his leader name. Every time you see him, remember the place he denied me, and remember every warrior I sent here to get my revenge."

#I hate the Redemption By Death trope but I can't deny that it matters #Correcting your mistakes with your life is something I despise because LIVING with those mistakes is what matters #Putting that growth into practice and being a better person than the guy you were yesterday #Death By Redemption is so trite and easy. It's cheap. There is no chance to ever fuck up again #But that's not what life is #You do better than yesterday and you fuck up a little and you keep doing better.#I hate the popularity of Big Displays of Affection That Fix Everything such as this specific trope #really it all goes back to the free churro speech from bojack lmao #The part specifically about Grand Gestures #Like. Cool. Onestar alienates his allies and causes a massive Lakewide battle and allows the Kin to become a massive problem because he's--#--being a cowardly hardass but. ayo. He killed his kid so awooga it's all fixed #Bonefall AVoS #Bonefall Rewrite
