"You aren't good at sneaking away" - Ashflame when Ripplepaw got fed up with just spying on him and Shadowpaw and confronted them "Because- because I'm here, if my clanmate needs me." - Ripplepaw, this is why I love you "I was just making a statement! It's not my fault you're overly sensitive!" - Ripplepaw, this is why literally no one else liked you in the beginning "They were my clanmate. And I do care about my clanmates. Even if they don't care about me." - Ripplepaw, and then right after: "Don't care about you? They wouldn't shut up about you!" - Ashflame. And those two lines of dialogue brought so much serotonin "I don't need control over you. Just need to keep you in check." - Ashflame to Ripplepaw "Why don't you beat it. You'd be stupid to think you can take both of us. Oh wait, you are stupid." - Ripplepaw dissing Ashflame ahahaha "That's why you don't try and fight cats 30 moons older than yourself. You're just so arrogant... it's quite the pity." Phantom to Ripplepaw because she was a jerk back then "Fine! Good luck finding someone who'd be willing to mentor that little brat then!" - Ripplepaw about Rainkit ( and then they became friends later I think it's really funny hahaha ) "You shouldn't be defending us in the first place. We have warriors for that.. Listen Ripplepaw...you have to stop getting into these fights. You may think you are benefiting the clan, but you are really putting us in danger- and edging us closer and closer to clan war." - Echostar to Ripplepaw "Did you seriously get into another fight?" - Shadowpaw, Ripplepaw's response: "Oh, it's you. And yes. For once though, it wasn't my fault." "RIPPLEPAW, HONEY, DO YOU HAVE NO SELF PRESERVATION" - me oorp lmao "That's what you get for picking a fight with every cat you see.." - Sparrowwind after she beat Ripplepaw up "I'll catch more prey tomorrow! You are in no state to fi- carry prey.." - Shadowpaw decides to lie badly to try to get them both away from Ashflame before he strikes "You need to stay away! Don't you have anything better to do than be salty over some apprentices?" - Ripplepaw to Ashflame, who else lmao "Hi mouse-brain." - OKAY this was from Shadekit and Ripplepaw literally hadn't even said anything she had just come in to give the queens and kits a rabbit and Shadekit just went off lol "Oh, even if Echostar told me I wasn't allowed to [fight], I'd still find a way." - Ripplepaw "If you wanted it done, you should've done it yourself," - Ripplepaw to Walnutpaw "We're not going /anywhere/. ASHFLAME! Come out! We know you're here!" - Ripplepaw "I'll be nice today..." - Ashflame when he decided he wasn't gonna murd3r Rip ( which he should've lol, imagine how much easier his life would have been ) "Is that who I think it is?" - Ashflame the first time he saw Rip after the injury "What's got you so quiet? You were always the vivid one." - said by Ashflame but I'm actually gonna cry "You think- I know! I know it's not a goud time, and I know it was stupid! I wish I culd go back in time, and not do it! I don't want to not be able to smell, or not be able to force myself to eat tastliss prey! I don't want to have these stipid headaches! I want to be able to seh normally, and I can't even talk normally anymore! I know, I know, I know!" - Ripplepaw when Echostar had to speak to her "Ripplepaw. Please- just focus on what's important. Becoming a warrior." - Echostar's wise words of advice to Rip ( which she did not take ) "The world would be a better place if you stopped talking altogether," - Ripplepaw to Ashflame hahaha "The world would be better if it didn't have such petty excuses for apprentices, but here we are!" - his retort "He /hurt/ you! And I'm not letting hem do it again!" - Rip to Shadowbby ( unfortunately she wasn't able to keep that promise ) "That doesn't matter right now. I just... Want you to be okay." - Rip to Shadow “Come on, sleepy. Let’s get you back to camp,” - Shadow to Rip god I love them so much "Nothing. There's nothang you can do. There's nothing any of us can do, excupt remember," - Ripplepaw being... wise??? what is this witchcraft "And.... Ashflame threatened to try and...drown me...if I don't listen to him..." - Shadowpaw, and Rip promptly freaked out obviously "me high-key strangling Ashflame: 'you threaten the child??? I murder you. d!e' /j" - me oorp lol and then Leah - "*Cheering you on in the background*" "H-He s-said to le...lead y-you away, but I r..efused....I- I co-could n-never do that..." "You shuld've," - first Shadow, second Rip. Lmao, teenagers these days, so emotional "It's not like I'm any use to the claun like... this. And if it's ether you or me... well, I'd rather it be me. We knauw that- that he always gets what he wants." - Rip "Y-y-you can't j-just be wi-willing to g-give your life up!" - Shadow "B-but it would be better that way, wouldn't it?" - Rip "D-Don't you /d-dare/ say th-that..! I n-need you, you can't give up on me..."
"You can't need me if yu're dead, Shadowpaw!" she wailed. "And you know, you /know/ he'll feind a wey to make it heppun, and I cn't le' it happa, I cen eh him tek 'ou-" - Rip again, as you can see, she was very emotional at this point "We could go ki// him areselves," - Ripplepaw deciding murder was a great solution "I seem nice? What funtasy are you lieving in?" - Ripplepaw, and you know, she has a point “Well…I’m going to go hunt. It helps me relax..” "Uh, hello? The cat who just thrutened to ki// you is out there? And he is /constintly/ on our territory for some reason?" - Shadow, then Rip “If he att@cked again with the /both/ of us there, one of us will probably d//e.” "Then at least the whole thing would be settled," - Shadow then Rip again "Even I'm not that blindly confident." - Rip, and yes, she is lol "I don't think running will be rilaxing if it's Ashflame you're runniung from." - again, she's got a point "how ✨ d r a m a t i c ✨ do you want this? =D" - Leah oorp, this is when I truly started to fear lol “I- Ripplepaw.. I can’t see….” "It's fine. It's just durk. I'll.. I'll just gat you baick. It'll be fine." - denial isn't a good look on you Ripplechild “And you aren’t worried about /yourself/?” "No." - Ash, then Rip "It was fine, whun it was me. But it's not me enymore. And now you're gonna pay." - :') “It’s cute, honestly, how you always have to protect them,” - fight me Ashflame "Would it have been bettur, do you think? If I hadn't followed you thut day? If you hedn't come back to RiverClan?" “Honestly…yeah.. If I had just gone with him…” - four sentences that one shot me instantly "Hey Shadowpaw, what uuuOOOP-" - we stan Rip falling over mid-sentence "When are you gonna stop hiding in trees you coward?" - Ripplepaw throwing shade again "If only you had drowned. The werld would have been a brighter one," - Rip to Ashflame "Don't- don't do thet," - Ripplepaw when Monarchpaw tried to touch her. She doesn't like being touched. Unless it's Shadowbby, of course “Oh, I wouldn’t say that. Because in my dreams, you’re already /d3ad/“ - Ashflame to Ripplepaw. Even now it chills me to read this line "And I don't want you to suffer in silence" - Monarchpaw ( rip ) to Ripplepaw “Ripplepaw! You can hardly stay standing! What makes you think you can get revenge in your state?” - Ashflame. He wasn't even wrong “We can stay here for a little bit if you’d like..” - after Echostar's death, Rip and Shadow were cuddling because yes, and Rip was like 'we need to go back to camp and see what the heck is going on' but then Shadowpaw said that and she was like 'can't argue with that logic' "Surpriseng no one, he does, in fact, have more stupid things to say," - Ripplepaw about Ashflame, THIS IS THE BEST COMEBACK I'VE EVER THOUGHT OF HELP “Oh, gosh. I’m… so sorry. Who was that warrior? If I find them, I’ll- they hurt a Riverclan apprentice!” - Beaverspeck <3 "What you're going to do, is get yoursulf hurt! So don't waste your time." - Ripplepaw doesn't believe Beaverspeck can handle himself against Ashflame "What? He /blinded/ an apprentice? And hurt you? I can't even say how mad I am. I'd better not /ever/ meet that Lavaclan scum." - Beaverspeck again "i passionately hate Ashflame also and he’s my oc xD" - Leah oorp “She said that she didn’t like to talk about it. The cat who blinded them hurt her too, you see. When I find them, I’ll-“ “You’ll /what/?” “I’ll fight them. I’d kiII them if I had to.” - Beaverspeck, Ashflame, then Beaverspeck again “remember, Ripplepaw. One of you will d//e, and it will be /soon/.” - Ashflame, this was at the gathering actually "Just one of us? And you'll leave thum alone?" - Martyr Rip lol "I... I just want to say that you're a wonderful cat, and that you're so strong to get through all... this." - Rip "Yes, you do...We both know who he wants the most," - Shadowbby NO "No, no, not you, nevar you." - Rip "I know you can, because I know you, and you're strong enough. Better... Better you thun me." - Rip "It's not okay! Ripplepaw, you'll be /gone/!" - Shadow, also, I'd like to note that the both of us ( me and Leah ) we're both almost crying irl at this point um- "I know, I know that! But evaryone close to me seems to d!e! How long before it's you, or Beaverspeck?" - Rip. well, two months actually. "How can you be so willing to d//e?! Are you really ready to just give up everything, to give up everyone? Just like that...?" "No, I'm not ready. But it's worth it. You're worth it." - Shadow, then Rip. okay, now I'm almost crying again jesus "You ARE! Shadowpaw, you are so worth it. I know that this world has treated you so horribly, but you are the most amazing cat I've ever met. You are my /world/." - Rip "D-Dont....there are cats that l0ve you. /I l0ve you/." - Shadowbby. And you know what, YOU WANNA KNOW WHAT LEAH DID?? They posted that... and then went. to. bed. I thought about that for hours. I had such a hard time getting to sleep. I was dying /lh
