———— no words appear before me in the aftermath. salt streams out my eyes and into my ears. everything i touch becomes sick with sadness. ‘cause it’s all over now, all out to sea goodbye, goodbye, goodbye you were bigger than the whole sky you were more than just a short time and i’ve got a lot to pine about, i’ve got a lot to live without. i’m never gonna meet, what could’ve been, would’ve been, what should’ve been you. — “Bigger Than The Whole Sky,” - Taylor Swift ———— It’s time. This has been an especially hard thing to write, but it’s finally time that I have to part with Mistletoeflake. I mean, where to start? She was born August 6th, 2022. She was born during the Clans great journey, a time of change for the four warrior clans. I guess it was fitting, since rejoining Scratch and owning a TFCRP character once more was a big change for me. I’ve got to say, I feel quite accomplished with her. Though she didn’t live to a 100 moons, she had done a lot in her lifetime of 60 moons. She’s been a mother, mentor, daughter, friend, criminal, enemy, and more. Saying goodbye to such a beloved thing is difficult. Though she is just a fictional character, she represents me and she also represents who I want to be or who I don’t want to be. She was a way to display my emotions and show a wonderful community my skills as a writer. Mistletoeflake’s character development wasn’t my best, but I tried so many new things I was scared to do with Morningthorn. It’s been time well spent. ———— Thank you to first, @Lunar-Memories. I’m unsure whether you’ll see this, but without you, I never would’ve had the chance to own Mistletoeflake. Next, to @Seth_-, Reindeersand was a beautifully crafted character and I’m so glad I had the chance to roleplay with you. Next, to @-bxckaroo. Willy-nillywaltz brought some much joy to Mistletoeflake’s life. Their relationship was wonderful and I’m happy knowing they’ll be reunited once again. Obviously, I have to thank @-BrokenMelody-. Salamandersmile was a dedicated friend to Missy, and without her, she would’ve been quite lonely in her last moons of life. Lastly, to four wonderful people, , , , and . The roleplayers of Mistletoeflake’s children, Eveningsnooze, Woewisteria, Ditzypity, and Itsy-bitsyspider. It was so great getting to watch you guys create these characters and stick with them. To Kit and Alfalfa, it was such a joy watching Eveningsnooze’s and Woewisteria’s lives play out. And for Kibble and Maje, I wish you luck with Dizzy and Its. They are wonderful characters now, and I can’t wait to see where you take them. Thank you to everyone involved in Mistletoeflake’s life. Even if she is just a fictional battle kitty, she means the world to me.
