Storm

I made a post about this on the Discord server, but I think I ought to be more in-depth with my opinion here. And also, because I don't see many people talking about it. Thus, allow me to begin:

Lucky should've killed Blade. Pretty straight-forward and simple. Lucky also should've killed Terror but that's besides the point.

Throughout the books, Blade is Lucky's villain. Blade seems the haunt him, getting closer and closer as the books progress, putting tension into the air as their battle draws near. Sure, Blade killed Wiggle and Fang, but in the end, she's killed a ton of other dogs. What makes Storm so special outside of being a protagonist?

Blade didn't threaten Storm; she threatened the entire Wild Pack, most notably Lucky. By letting Storm fight her out of nowhere, it kills all the buildup between the characters for a stupid battle against Alpha. This peeves me more than it should, but Lucky is all of a sudden destined to kill Alpha because Whine told him so.

Storm should've killed Alpha because he was the reason the pack was oppressive against her, both then and after. He was her battle.

Then again, maybe it's the law over at Erin Hunter's HQ. In Warriors, FIrestar was supposed to have this big climactic battle against Tigerstar. The two bickered and then Tigerstar was killed by a one-off random cat who is all of a sudden, this big bad threat. Or, even better, what if Harry Potter ended with Harry fighting some random dude who killed Voldemort off-screen? Pretty anticlimactic, right?

What I'm trying to say is that Lucky should've killed Blade, end of story. Storm should've killed Alpha. Alright, that's me out. G'bye.

So, now that I have an account, I will start sharing some of my aus. The first one I'll share is my Whisper au.

So, what if Whisper became kind of like Ashfur from Warriors? They look pretty similar and they are obsessive over a certain female, for Ashfur it's Squirrelflight and for Whisper it's Storm. In this au, Whisper gets irritated that Storm keeps constantly ignoring him. He somehow escapes Breeze and gets her exiled and that is the start of his killing spree. He basically does everything that Breeze originaly did and somewhere in Red moon rising, he confronts Storm, revealing he was the cause of everything and threatens to kill everyone dear to her and force her to love him. Unfortunatly for him, Storm kills him and gets exiled for it.

Part two might be coming soon.

Merry Christmas/ happy holidays!

Heres a sneak peek of a short survivors animation I’m working on :))

It’s my first animation on my new channel that isn’t a reupload!! I’m excited bc after losing my channel I lost a lot of motivation and now that I feel motivated again I can follow my dream of animating again and yayayyayay I feel like I’m writing a lot 😭

Who do you guys think, out of Blade or Breeze, who was a worse (more evil, committed worst actions and more bad) villain? Well, let’s see.

Blade was an evil pack leader who wasn’t afraid to kill and was very brutal.

Breeze was also brutal and murderous like Blade and worked alone, but still had many kills.

Who do you guys think? In my personal 

Opinion, I think it’s Blade. She led a pack into a war killing MANY dogs and was a killing machine until her end. She also didn’t hesitate and killed Wiggle on the spot, and didn’t care even when Fang was loyal to her and killed him anyway.

Well, who do you guys think was a worst (more evil) villain?

So umm, I hate snap... I liked her in the first arc I guess, but the number 1 reason is bc, well she Was like ITS TOTALLY NORMAL AND 100% FINE TO BE AFRAID OF A DOG WHO NEVER DID ANYTHING AND PROBOBLY SAVED THE WILD PACKS LIVES ( I'm talking about arrow )

And the way she puts it, like right in poor arrows face... and then she spys on him, and she tells storm she's different and then listens to some crybaby idiots stupid rant ( I'm talking about breeze ) and suggest that they kill/mame her after she was raised in their pack... I HATE HER SOO MUCH ( that is just my opinion)

I’ve thought about this a lot, and while Lucky all but explicitly adopted her, in one of the books Bella says that she thinks of Storm as a younger sister, so does Lucky think that way too? What about Arrow? Does he think of her as a sister-in-law, or as a niece? And what about Lucky and Bella’s pups? Do Bella’s pups think or her like a cousin or an aunt? Same thing with Lucky’s pups, do they consider her an adoptive sister or an aunt? And with Sweet too, does she think or her as a sister-in-law or as her husband’s adopted daughter? Lmk what you think

So in the first arc of survivors books, we were seeing it all from Luckys perspective, and in the second it was from Storms. If there was another book arc, what characters perspective would you like to see it from? I personally feel like a third arc would be from one of Sweets pups POVs. Maybe you’d like to see a diffirent characters POV in the first arc? Or the second? Tell me what you think!

I like her...but I have reasons not to like her. Firstly: I didn't like it when she didn't save Alpha, ok, he was racist towards her and actually I don't like him too, but that's not the reason to kill him! Secondly: She attacked Martha. I know she was very angry then, but she shouldn't attack dog, who was like Mother-dog to her! Thirdly: She promised to Lucky, to wait for him, when she wanted to spy fierce dogs, but despite that she went to fierce dogs alone, when Lucky was talking with Sweet...that was totally irresponsible.

And I didn't like her willingness to fight fierce dogs in the first arc, and she was kinda okay when she killed Terror...

I can understand her in these situation, because she was still a pup/very young dog then, but still...she shouldn't do that in my opinion.

Despite these things, she wasn't a bad dog and wanted to show her loyalty to her pack and not to fierce dogs.

(Context, the idiot in question is me. It's a harsh nudge, uh, it's just a saying, uhh-)

Let's uh, also keep in mind it's been a bit since I've read the books. My silly killer dog book memories are pretty rusty, oof. Some harsh humor is in this post, no offense tho!)

Stuff aside, In the Survivors Dogs fandom, it has come to me that despite being the main character in the second arc. A lot of people tend to hate on storm, and I still don't know why.

Sure, I guess she is annoying or something but like, isn't everyone in this series? Especially in TGD arc, characters just kinda act real out of character to make some plot angst.

With that said, as being the knight who will defend Storm with an iron sword I will S L I C E my foes with my words and poor memory of the books.

So, the fandom tends to crap on Storm for just.. being mad? I- I just.. whaa.

Have y'all forgor that Storm went through so many rough patches that by the end of the series, she should have gone bald by now. What makes this even worse is that most of these events happened when she wasn't an adult, dunno if y'all know this but uh, stressful events that happen when you're young can cause some pretty "odd" behaviors when your older.

Let's go through a journey! Hmm.. mama dies, all of her littermates (Fang/Grunt and Wiggle for those who forgor) die, a dog racist alpha sees her nothing but a savage(ha) and wants her dead, crazed religious fierce-dog wants her dead too, her adoptive father basically abandons her for the plot- I mean because he doesn't trust her, some wolves threaten to kill her, and Breeze, nuff said.

I'm unsure about you, but if I went through those events before I was an adult. Yeah, I'd be distressed and bitter too. Storm complaints aren't there because the writers need that extra angst quota to be filled, it's there because Storm is venting. How dare characters that go through stressful events be mad about the fact they went through stressful events?!

To wrap this up, uh, a girlboss has her sad moments sometimes.

I was thinking about some of the Survivors characters, and what their exact ages might be. In the end of The Final Battle, we get some info about how old Lucky is (Storm notices grey flecks of fur on him), and we can kind of determine the dogs ages based on when they were pups and how many books ago that was. Outside of that, we don't have concreate evidence on how old some of the characters are. And as far as I know (I haven't read he books in a while, this might be inaccurate), none of the dogs in arc one or two have died of old age (Yes, I haven't read any of the novellas yet :,] ). So I was wondering, what do you headcannon some of the characters ages to be? Can you tell me in the replies? You don't have to calculate an exact amount of years or anything like that. Here's some examples:

I think Storm is a young adult (currently).

I think Forest, Earth, River, & Sky are all tween-aged (currently).

I think Thorn & Beetle are teen-aged (currently).

Tell me what you guys think!

If I remember right, she suddenly started sleepwalking, but after the giant dramatic fiasco in RMR that got her exiled, she stopped...? Maybe it was stated somewhere in the book, but why exactly was this a thing? Was she sleep-controlled by the Spirit Dogs or something?

This I've been waiting to say for the longest of whiles. And boy, do I have a lot to say about Storm. She is the second worst, most insufferable character I have ever read about (though as bad as she is, I don't think anyone can beat Wings of Fire's Sundew). Ever since The Broken Path, she's been nothing but an annoyance to complain about what's already been known (yes, yes, Fierce Dogs are mistreated. Got anything else on your mind?).

I've blocked most of her appearances in the first arc, but in The Gathering Darkness... No cows are holy enough to say how awful she is to read about. All she does throughout the SIX BOOKS is be mistreated, whine about it in her head, next scene. Rinse and repeat for about five books when put together. Could you imagine if actual civil rights movements were that way? Attempt to get rights, get discriminated, give up and go home. Yup, kind of hard to be taken serious in that case.

Not only that, but Storm herself is very bland. She's supposed to be the protagonist, right? Well, aside from being annoying and stupid, uh, what's her traits again? Being right? I have no idea. What's worse is that she actively makes her situation worse. My favorite (and most vivid) example is when Storm sees Beetle and Thorn sneaking away, so she doesn't do anything, and puts her own packmates in danger. I don't blame Sweet for what she did, Storm is acting incredibly sus! Vote her out, guys! (sorry, I had to.)

After learning that Breeze is the imposter, she confronts her in the second worse scene of the entire series. No kidding she would pass the blame onto you, did you think she would apologize? ASK SWEET OR LUCKY WHEN BREEZE ISN'T AROUND! Not ask her! Also, to conclude this part of my rant, in The Final Battle, Storm snaps at Breeze for looking like she harmed one of the pups. I... have no comments about the idiocy of that action.

And that is my long-winded rant about how terrible Storm is. I've been wanting to say this for a long time, and now I feel satisfied. No offense if you like Storm, though. I have no idea what else to say... so... uh, the end?
