Maplepaw shares their opinion on Breezepelt.
Hi BlogClan
Itβs Maple again and this time Iβm doing an article on something that annoys me soooooo much
Breezepelt Forgiveness
Now before I begin, I would just like to say, I donβt really hate any warriors character including Breezepelt and I liked him being a villain, but I think that he shouldnβt have been forgiven so easily and heres why
Iβm going to go through excuse of why people think he should be forgiven
1. He was neglected as a child so he had a reason
Ok so. No. He wasnβt. One time, ONE time he was down right ignored or neglected from my memory, and that was just because his dad didnβt complement his catch. Crowfeather did nothing wrong, yes Breezepaw had just had a good hunt, but a parent canβt complement there child everytime.
I quite often get annoyed because my dad just kinda shrugs at my drawings and then massively complements my brothers art or painting (itβs not as good as mine) but does that make me neglected ?
No. Does it make it ok for me to go and work with a group of criminals ?
No.
Ok. Also, Nightcloud is shown multiple times to be over protective and NOT LETTING Crowfeather help his son, e.g when Breezepelt had nearly got stuck in the tunnels.
Crowfeather is a strict parent yes, and doesnβt often complement his son, and has strict rules, angering when they are broken, but I wouldnβt say itβs neglect. This view was shaped by the dark forest
2. He was neglected so had NO OTHER choice than to be evil.
Now this is different from the one above as it implies that it wasnβt even Breezepeltβs choice to be evil. He didnβt even have to think it through.
Now for this Iβm going to use the example of Crookedstar and one of my favourite books ever, Crookedstarβs Promise.
So Breezepelt and Crookedstar arenβt really that different, they are both neglected (or so fans say) and they both were trained in the dark forest.
Just a little fore note here I no longer believe whatever mess of a theory about Mapleshade I put in my first article so yeah.
Ok so Crookedstar, broke his jaw and then was literally shunned by his mother. No contact what so ever to be honest, complete neglect. She even changed his name to make it worse
Mapleshade followed Crookedstar from his kithood, trying to turn him evil but it failed.
Crookedstar had a choice, so why didnβt Breezepelt
Crookedstar went through so much worse yet didnβt betray his clan, so why did Breezepelt have βno choiceβ
3. He was young and reckless when he chose to fight with the dark forest.
So here comes some fun facts about cats and people
Cats meet sexual maturity at around 6 moons. So a bit like a teenager, sort of 13-14
So that would mean that by the time a cat is a warrior they would basically be an adult soooooo itβs not teenage or childish stupidity we are dealing with, this is a rationally thinking adult who knows what heβs doing.
4. He didnβt know what he was doing
He did. He just did. He attacked Lionblaze you canβt just go ooooppps Iβm sorry what just happened, ohhhhhh I attacked sorry.
That just doesnβt happen . Also before the great battle he attacked a medicine cat and a pregnant cat, surely he knew what he was doing
5. Everyone deserves a second chance.
Ok now the point of this article isnβt to say that Breezepelt should not have been let back into the clan, but what Iβm saying, is it shouldnβt have been so easy. To Breezepelt, saying some words mean nothing, as he swore to protect his clan when he became a warrior, yet he fought against them.
Maybe he should have entered like a witness protection prgram thing, well not exactly but I think letting Breezepelt back into the clan probably caused more problems then not.
If they told the clan he was dead, he could have gone to live with the tribe for a few moons, gained their scent and then returned, his scent would be different and his name could be changed.
He could start a new.
This would give him a second chance and make sure that he isnβt discriminated against by other cats in the clan.
Also the dark forest canβt reach the mountains so living with the tribe would help him leave behind his dark past, as well as teaching him self discipline Aβs tribe cats have to share.
He might even choose to stay with the tribe.
So Iβm sorry this is a bit patched together but I hope you like my article !
I agree with you, Maplepaw. Crowfeather isnβt the best parent in the world, and I donβt even like him, but willingly joining cat hell just because he was βneglectedβ or whatever isnβt a good excuse for Breezepelt. He honestly shouldβve just been exiled out of WindClan.
I agree π
I completely agree with Sunpaw and Aster. π
I agree!
Agh. Thank you for making this, I thought I was the only one who actually hated Breezepelt.. These reasons are really good!
Your definitely not the only one π
Itβs a popular debate…………
Breezepelt was a garbage child to begin with. Almost everyone who defends Breezepelt says that he didn’t receive any praise from his father for catching a rabbit (I think it was a rabbit, correct me if I’m wrong) and forget that Breezepelt was a jerk throughout the whole journey to the mountains; he didn’t deserve to be praised. Just because a parent doesn’t praise their child doesn’t mean they’re neglecting their child. Crowfeather was far from a perfect parent, but he wasn’t as bad as people make him out to be. He was just really strict. While he rarely shows it, he cared about Breezepelt; he saved his life twice – one of those times, he was scrabbling to save his son and wanted to help him. I don’t understand why some people claim Crowfeather hated Breezepelt.
To be honest, I mostly blame Nightcloud for how Breezepelt turned out. However, it was his choice to go to the Dark Forest; he was a full-grown warrior, after all.
I HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATE BREEZEPELT.
Turtle π’
I guess so. I mean, I love Breezepelt, but look at Blossomfall. Graystripe loved her, and Millie got distracted with Briarlight. Nightcloud loved Breezepelt, and Crowfeather got distracted with his own pride, as in, not giving up grudges from the past. Blossomfall was persuaded because she was convinced that Millie didnβt like her. Breezepelt was convinced that Crowfeather didnβt love him. I also might be being biast, because I love Breezepelt sm.
