Ok here is an ask about SPOILERS FOR SHADOW, don't look if you haven't read it:

You really got my hopes up that they were actually going to play into deconstructing Sunbeam's people-pleasing nature and how Nightheart barely knows Sunbeam and might be convincing himself he loves her because in the flawed Clan-swapping system that's' the only way to leave a Clan you are dissatisfied with, and actually portray consequences for Nightheart basically suddenly declaring he's the mate of someone he barely knows and pressuring her into complying. I loved your idea of the Sunbeam rule of three arc. But NO it seems like they are playing this off as True Love after all. Do you have any plans for how you can still include the dynamic you thought they were planning for Night and Sun in your rewrite? (I was thinking maybe she realizes throughout Rewrite Shadow she realizes she is just trying to not make waves and please Berryheart and Nightheart without standing up for herself as you posted about, BUT when Nightheart leaves she sees an out for what she really wants to do, which is get away from Berryheart and not to be forced to fight battles on behalf of the takeover of RiverClan, which she morally objects to. So she's like, hey, they don't let you switch Clans for conscientious objection yet, but there's this weirdo who thinks we're in love who I CAN use as an excuse. And perhaps they end up developing a genuine bond (ideally as friends, though if canon makes it absolutely necessary they could fall in love for real by the end of the series after much more development then they got) in fighting together against Berryheart and xenophobia. Please, you have to figure out a way to fix that because I liked your predictions so much and now it seems the authors just weren't that clever...

I haven't engaged with the leaks yet but I will soon, I'm not a dude who minds spoilers tho so don't worry

I do always read the books before making up my mind though! So I'm going to be taking all the fandom discussion with a grain of salt. Lmao maybe I'll be the final Booboo the Fool with a big chart like "HERE'S HOW CRINGEFAIL NIGHTHEART CAN STILL WIN"

In any case though, don't worry. I don't revamp arcs until they're done but I would never allow Unironic, unexamined Nightsun in my redux lmao. If Nightheart stops being a pathetic loser and his family apologizes to him and kisses his ass, I'm gonna take him out back and beat him like a rug. Spray him down with a hose. Blow dry him until he's fluffy.

Likewise with Sunbeam, if they try to pull a Bristlefrost and ignore her actual personality in favor of "oough i love this boy..." for a whole book, she's going to the pet groomer too. Sunbeam is a people pleaser who ignores problems until they're too large, period.

At bare minimum, Canon Nightsun Endgame in a way I can't avoid, they will at LEAST be queerplatonic after Nightheart confronts his impulsivity.
