dusthawk and magpiestar
oh boy. magpiestar's increasing temperament and dusthawk still failing to be nothing but a fight-provoking idiot will not bode well. without willowbreeze at his side, i think dust will only harrow his father and eventually an outright argument will break once he inevitably starts something stupid and refuses to be respectful or apologize for it. perhaps dusthawk is bitter and more resentful to his dad than usual, aggravated with willowbreeze's passing, due to his huge family leaving divided attentions and with magpie having the responsibilities of his rank do juggle since dusthawk's birth. that and he's clueless how to stand out otherwise from his siblings or extended family. dusthawk is just a powder keg of emotions and if it unravels enough i can really see their relationship spiraling downward.  i imagine dusthawk's always being a mamma's boy, but utterly lacking in reaction with her death. he goes on, doing his thing, and when she pops up in his mind he quickly sweeps it aside, focusing on work. of course, he's pained as heck but is very good at the denial thing sooo

i imagine it only coming up in an argument that will lead to dusthawk blaming his father for his mother's death (the first time he mentions to topic aloud) more to outright hurt him and release the pain he's built up over the topic in the only way he knows how (ANGER AND PERSONAL ATTACK) and we say stupid, hurtful things when we have pent up bitterness/anger and don't know how to healthily express it.

annnd that'll rupture any resemblance of a relationship they had. of course the boy will feel bad but have no way to know how to apologize so he'd just avidly avoid his father. thoughts? and oh god what if dusthawk became a victim of the mysterious attacks right after the fight with no chance to make up

oop and two more things; perhaps dusthawk was rambunctious and loving kit who adored his father once and always wanted to impress him he still weirdly does and though he intensely loves his father still, he can't really express it. that, and i was wondering, how 'traditional' is magpiestar? in terms of warrior code and cats who break it, mixed blood cats, etc.? cause of course there's the topic of dusthawk's liberal mindset and more importantly his sexuality, as i earnestly can only imagine him getting into an affair with a tom of another clan x3

tldr; (sorry for the the length o-o) dusthawk could be that pariah, rebellious son that gets under his daddy's skin and is one of many causes of stress in these trying times x3 

magpiestar&bluerain (MAGPIESTAR)

Magpiestar has already met Adderstar but has he met her brother, Bluerain? He is the Shadowclan medicine cat. Should they thread at some point? He is going to be on relatively good terms with the Riverclan medicine cat so if the alliance gets very tight then they will interact.
