I know Darkness Within came out months ago, but I want to talk about its events and some theories, and I also want to revisit some of the theories I had after reading Veil of Shadows. I was unsurprisingly right about Ashfur being the impostor (I had no doubt). As I discussed in my previous journal, Ashfur seemed the least concerned with giving himself away after possessing Bramblestar; in fact, the further along we get in both Veil of Shadows and Darkness Within, the more it seems like Ashfur wanted someone to find out. He behaves recklessly and completely out of character for Bramblestar all throughout Veil of Shadows, and in both books, he instills fear in Shadowsight and constantly boasts about his powers to him. He is clearly having fun torturing and controlling others, and he wants Shadowsight to know it. He obviously doesn't see Shadowsight as a threat, but attempts to get him on his side anyway, perhaps so he can manipulate him more easily. And even after Squirrelflight

Okaaay...it has been a long time since I posted an update on here. Not sure that anyone reads them anyway. So...back in April, I was furloughed from my seasonal educator position at the zoo because of COVID. Then this year sucked for a long time because of....well, everything. Especially in the U.S., where I live. I sat around at home and drank with my family like every week. And then my boyfriend and I went on a small vacation for our anniversary (with masks). And then I got sick (but tested negative for the rona). And then I found out I'm autistic. At 25 years old. So it's been a year. Also, GOOD news - I started an apprenticeship at a zoo just over a week ago! And they have cheetahs (they aren't in my section, but I'll get to work with them since the keepers try to let apprentices do what we're interested in). So...yes.
