My man dragged Squilf all the way down to the DF then proceeded to tell her how much he loves her and stare at her like a psycho. Which he is. This dude is made of Nightmare fuel, and I am actually disturbed. I love it.
Im sorry, I know Warriors Isnt supposed to be horror or anything, but I really love the whole horror theme with TBC. Its honestly amazing and its so much more interesting than the other villains. Another thing I noticed is that Ashfur and Darkstalker have a lot in common. They both are insane, they both are extremely powerful, both are mentally unstable, and both have horrifying obsessions with someone. Though Ashfur went farther than Darkstalker with ‘Obsession’. I mean, physically beating Squilf, nearly drowning her and brining her to literal cat he//, and then proceeding to act all ‘lovey’ towards her. He tells her he loves her, even though he literally just beat her up, kills so many people and claims he did it ‘for her’, and then even after she betrayed him multiple times did everything in his power to pass the blame onto everyone except her. I’m not the only one disturbed, Squilf expresses her fear of him. She is disturbed and says he makes her literally feel sick. Ashfur is also the only villain in the entire series so far that has gotten as far as he has. He has all the clans wrapped around his finger, or I guess, ‘claw’, and knows all of their weaknesses and strengths. He can manipulate them into helping or hurting him, and no matter how much Shadowsight or anyone else wants to kill him, they can’t, because Ashfur makes it clear he has Bramblestar’s spirit in his grasp, and that killing Bramblestar’s body wont do anything, and will make Bramblestar’s spirit never able to return. He also has control of every single spirit that has died since he was inside of Bramblestar, and don’t forget that one scene when the Sisters summon the spirits to talk to them, but only find the spirits literally screaming in agony, with Ashfur just watching in ‘amusement’. You see, as much as Ashfur scares me and disturbs me, this is also the type of villain I feel like we should see more often. Tigerstar was Bloodthirsty and physically strong, Sol was good at manipulation and words, Darktail was good at both, and Hawkfrost was just a copy of his father. Ashfur is a completely different type of villain, a villain obsessed with someone. So much so that it drives him insane that she choose someone over him. He tries to burn her adopted children alive, steals Bramblestar’s body to be with her, mentally and physically abuses her, and says its all for love. Ashfur also has every single dead and living cat around the lake under his control, like ‘puppets’. This is more villain behavior I feel like is what makes a ‘good’ villain. People like Tigerstar are driven to do bad things because they are bloodthirsty for power, but Ashfur is just obsessed and wants revenge. He has his own personal reasons, and that makes him a good character. He still scares me, and all that he has done is wrong and horrible, but he is an amazingly well made villain.
