User blog:Yewberry/Let's talk about Ashfur

Alrighty. Hello She-cats and toms! Today, we're talking about the most hated tom in Warriors, Ashfur. Everybody hates Ashfur. And we have good reason to! He was sort of like an abusive boyfriend, hurting Squirrelflight. Although he was looking for love, he went a bit too far. So, that's what today's Let's talk about is about!

Ashfur was a young, kind warrior/app. who truly loved Squirrelpaw. Squirrelpaw went on the clan-saving quest with Brambleclaw in Moonrise and built a strong bond with him, and that's when I became a Brambleflight shipper for life. Even after Brambleclaw's cold actions in the following books, I was STILL hoping my ship would come true. Ashfur was much too Gary-Stu for me, and I felt like a sassy she like Squirrelflight should have a mate with lots of character development and fundamental traits. Ashfur seemed too good to be true, and I was right. After Squirrelflight's terrible rejection, Ashfur went in to a state of insanity and depression. He was determined to make Squirrelflight love him. And if she didn't, it was time for revenge. So when Ashfur heard about 'Squirrelflight's kits', he knew his plan for revenge. He tried to kill them! And then, the beans were spilled. Ashfur was told that the kits weren't Squirrelflight's, so he gave up on killing them for the sole reason that they weren't hers. Hollyleaf, shocked and terrified by Ashfur's actions, killed him to get rid of the danger that he brought upon her foster mother and her and her siblings. And yet, after all of Ashfur's insane actions, I guess StarClan took pity on him or something, because THAT'S where he went, SOMEHOW! He was a mini-Mapleshade! For real! Trying to kill 3 people out of LOVE! Doesn't that sound familiar? Yeah. He totally should have gone to the dark forest for his dark and vengeful actions. But haha, NOPE! He's sitting there in StarClan. And imagine how angry he must have felt after Squirrelflight left him in StarClan to goback to Brambleclaw? He must have been FURIOUS! Who knows what he's going to do next?

Alright, this is the end of this let's talk about, so tune in to my next one!
