sensitive topics I'M HONEST. misgendering

[CHILLEDSTAR.]

DON'T YOU GIVE ME UP, PLEASE DON'T GIVE UP​

---

major tw for misgendering / transphobia, dissociation

the sun rays soaked their fur, making them stretch out, flipping over belly side up, kneading the air with a big yawn before pulling their paws back down with a gentle smack of their tongue against the roof of their mouth. they were relaxing. stars knew how long it had been since they'd simply done that but they needed to. they needed to just take a load off. and so that's what they were doing, or at least trying to. as they laid their, they couldn't help but hear the warriors who laid nearby them. chilledgaze did their best to ignore them but they couldn't help but tune in when they heard their name.

"-yeah, and chilledgaze barely said a thing at the gathering! she just hissed on about not talking to thunderclan. she's always-"

they were quick to roll back over on their stomach. their eyes shrunk back slightly, as they shook their head. an all too familiar feeling seems to latch onto them and they stand up. they feel... weird. like their paws were not their own. they weren't really there. but they slowly looked over as they heard their name once more.

"you think she has plans for hunting? pitchstar did say that it was chilledgaze's responsibility. she probably has no clue what to do."

"yeah... probably not."

the warrior seemed to wince a bit but they said nothing. chilledgaze took in a breath, ears pinning back against their head. my daughter. you're my daughter and i will always love you.

the echoed about whispers in their head and they shake their head. they feel sick. they're not... that's not who they were. why couldn't anyone see that? they weren't a tom, they weren't a she cat. they simply were a cat. a shadowclanner. the deputy. and it... didn't seem to be enough.

"....chilledgaze! hey! you're spacing out... are you alright?"

they almost nod but they're interrupted.

"she's probably exhausted. you see how she carried herself. like she never sleeps."

stop saying that. stop calling me that.

they want to say, but no words come out. their face only twists in discomfort and they shrug lightly.

"yeah... i just... need to get some rest is all. i'll be back in tip top shape by next sunrise."


//feel free to have your character correct the warrior but chilledgaze will try to brush it off further

[Frostbite]

Frostbite had also been sunning himself for once, his gaze averted from the sun. The warmth was comforting, and it made his aching stomach a little more tolerable. He was almost skin and bones, barely able to go on patrol with how little energy he had. He was absolutely miserable.

He was always listening in on conversations, though. He couldn't help it. If you're talking, he probably hears you. Who knows how many secrets he has learned unintentionally by now. But today, the things he heard made his blood boil.

He knew how Chilledgaze must feel. He had been misgendered once... And that cat paid the price when they thought themselves cocky enough to continue.

These cats continued, though. He waited for Chilledgaze to defend themself.... But it never came. That's it.

That is IT.

He rose with much effort from his spot and strode over there to the two who were talking.

"You will show your deputy more respect. Chilledgaze goes by they and them, not she and her. You should know this by now." He said firmly, with a hint of venom.

Were he healthier, he might have spoke with more fire. But he was so tired... This was all he could muster at the moment.

But stars help these cats if they continued.

[Ravenwatcher.]

So I walk alone down the darkest roads​

---

Ravenwatcher was one who tried her best to keep to herself but just as many others were relaxing and enjoying the creeping sun's ray, she couldn't help what the warrior was saying, misgendering their own deputy, and the fact that Chilledgaze said nothing made her sigh and get up before making her way towards the two warriors. "Hey, I think you owe them an apology" she stated flatly towards the two. Coming up to stand near Frostbite who was first to arrive at the scenes.

it was indeed disrespectful and perhaps not her business but there was some things she could not tolerate and this was one of the many things on her no tolerance list. Her ears twitch as she kept her gaze on the two warriors, wondering if they feel any guilt for what they said.​

[VULTURESHRIEK]

This shit again. Of course.

Vultureshriek had had their fair share of the same dirivel that these two cats thought fitting to spout, but at least her family had been accepting, at least they had had his back while they were alive. Chilledgaze did not have that foundation, so Vultureshriek and some others had sought to give it to them, despite the damage their 'father' had done in reguards to them being able to stand up for themselves.

No matter. Chilledgaze could wield a shield all they wanted, others would weild the sword for them.

There's a barely restrained madness to the sharp smile Vulture has on his face, lips peeled back to show all too long canines that, should it not be a thinly veiled threat, might've been seen as beautiful. "Y'know," She starts, words slipping through a clenched jaw. "I don't think we heard you correctly. Because, it sounded to me like you not only don't have enough of a fucking brain to keep your facts straight when talking shit on someone, but despite that lack of intelligence and wisdom you still think its alright to criticize your deputy as if you could do any better!"

He's in their faces now, having stalked past Frostbite and Ravenwatcher, fur raised in sharp spikes as their paws twitch with the barely restrained urge to just be done with it and fight them tooth and claw. But she's been getting better since she became a warrior, no longer picking 'random' fights with their clanmates because they couldn't keep their damn mouths shut. "Raven's got the right idea....you need to apologize, and you need to do it now." The grit in their voice is worse than the rocks on the thunderpath, but the look in their eyes is possibly far worse than any fate one would meet on the blacktop.​

  VULTURE - VULTURESHRIEK
  25 moons, intersex [uses any and all pronouns, does not mind gendered terms, falls under NB umbrella but doesn't think about it much]
  A tall, all limbs, black smoke and braided tabby chimera with long fur and a distinct ruff of white fur around their neck
  Vultureshriek is always willing to speak their mind, even if they're not sure if the words are right they have to get them out. Born and raised within the marsh colony, she has a distinct loyalty to Shadowclan and those within it despite consistently getting into trouble in her youth. Nowadays he does everything within reasonable and legal bounds, just to prevent accidents from happening as much as possible while still having fun.
  Considered bad luck by some of Shadowclan because they were present in some way for every family member's death
  Speaks in #9e0000
