Rainbowflower takes a closer look at Scourge’s motivations.
Hey everyone! Rainbowflower here back with my second article!! Tell me whats your opinion in the comments!! But anyways, lets start :3
So lets start with the fact that if as a kit tiny/scourgeโs siblings had ACTUALLY listened to their mother, scourge would be a whole lot different! So tinyโs mother was constantly telling socks and ruby (tinyโs siblings) to be nicer to him. But did they listen? No! Which led tiny to run away at the end. So, tinyโs first big step to the Scourge time. Then, as tiny walked around who did he run in to? Hmmm.. no not someone nice, only the TWO WORST CATS IN THUNDERCLAN (+ one really good one but yeah) so he seeโs thistleclaw and tigerpaw (later claw and star) and bluefur, when if it had been literally ANYBODY else, they would have done anything but threaten to kill him! Good job bluefur/star on saving him though. But now, lets just imagine that some OTHER cat had shown up and found him. They might have asked what they are doing, and either shooed him away, or bring him to the clan leader. If they had shooed him off, the story might be pretty the same, but Scourge might not have killed tigerstar, but instead fight on his side, or he would have not come at all to the forest. Or it might be the same. But if he had been brought to the clan leader, tiny might have become a clan cat if sunstar invited him. (I believe sunstar was leader then?) so, if sunstar had invited him, (i think he might idk) then Tiny would become a clan cat and a warrior, learn the clan ways, everything, i think that he would be an honourable and good warrior. So was it his fault? I personally think not. So letโs say that the story was the same as it actually was, and tiny ran away to the city. After finding a dogs tooth and trying to get the collar off with it and the tooth got stuck in the collar, a small lie to get food that he fought a dog and won, and ripped the tooth out of its head, he was asked to fight a dog for them. Like bro, these helpless cats are asking a kit to fight a dog?? It was easy to tell it was a lie. This was Tinys next step to scourge, as after it ran away due to Tinys SHADOW, tiny changed his name to scourge and the twolegplace cats worshiped him. Again, his fault? I think not. He was drove to this. And then, well, thats all he could do was stay like this. He was slightly mistreated as a kit, and then well, he ended up like this.
Well thats all from me, hope u enjoyed reading!
Sorry if it was hard to read, i didnt know how to explain my thoughts lol.
Have a nice day/night everyone, and see u later!

Nice article, but I partly disagree. True, if ThistleClaw and TigerPaw werenโt so tough on him when they first met, Scourge could have probably become a ThunderClan warrior or something. His siblings were awfully rude, too. But I think what really turned him bad was him letting himself become a bloodthirsty murderer. He didnโt do a thing about and he let himself get consumed by the darkness. So, I think it was partly his fault.
