Having an existential crisis after reading warriors by Amberpaw

Amberpaw lists questions they had after reading some books.

Warrior Cats don’t have showers. Which is probably a good thing, because the Erin Hunters don’t have to think of any weird existential thoughts to keep poor Squirrelflight up at night. The Clans don’t have to deal with shower thoughts, but I’m cruel, so hello, I’m Amberpaw, and today I’m gifting to you my existential crisis I have to deal with from reading Warrior Cats. Merry Christmas.
(Er, Amberpaw, it’s May. Mod edit: Actually, it’s June!)

Why do Medicine Cats not call herbs medicine? They call their Cats Medicine Cats, so why not call their cures Medicine Herbs?
Speaking of Medicine, why do the Clans have such a long name for the Medicine Cat den? By the time a cat says “You need to go to the Medicine Cat den” the cat will already died from its wounds! Just call it the Herb House at this point.
How the Warrior Cat do you pronounce Macgyver’s name?
Who named Egg Egg? And why? Is he bald?
When will Warriors collab with Squishmallows?
Why didn’t all the SkyClan apprentices run away to ThunderClan with Finpaw and Twigpaw? They know how bad Leafstar is at naming Warriors. Harrybrook. Bouncefire! Seriously! The poor cats.
Why do people defend Mapleshade but not Breezepelt? Guys, Breezepelt had a redemption arc. Mapleshade went on a mass murdering spree.
Why did SkyClan get to claim the only mediator? Other Clans have arguments too!
On that topic, how long until “Mediators can’t have kits because they’ll be distracted blah-blah-blah” come into place in the Warrior code?
Why don’t they make Greystripe the official Warrior-cat-name-giver-outer? Sparkfire is so much better than Sparkpelt.
What did Clear Sky actually do to make up for his mistakes?
Should Thunder and WindClan mark the tunnel border alongside their patrols?
Why does Twigbranch love Finleap? That guy’s creepy!
Why is every cat related to Firestar? At this point there should be some sort of problem with their DNA.
Why was Silverstream at sunningrocks? She could’ve survived if it weren’t for the fact that she LEFTHERCLANTOGIVEBIRTH.
Who actually realised that Spottedfire was even a thing until AFTER Spottedleaf died?
Why is every kit the exact same?
Why doesn’t Thornclaw take a day of?
Why do cats get so grossed out by FRESH rat meat, and yet happily take week-old scraps of chicken from bins?
Why does RiverClan still say that the prey is running well blah-blah-blah at gatherings? The only food that they eat is fish!
Why don’t the other Clans fish? They have access to the lake, a fine source of prey and yet they still complain that they’re hungry.
Why hasn’t the lake ever frozen?
What if a cat wants to be vegetarian?
Why don’t cats have fun? Sure, there was the daytime gathering, but still only the apprentices actually do fun stuff. The warriors just watched and bickered about which apprentice won the fighting competition!
Why is it a crime to sleep in?
What would they watch if they had youtube?
What happened to the Blazing Star? Is it still in ShadowClan territory?
Where are twolegs when there’s a fire?
Why is Clear Sky called Clear Sky? Like, he’s grey isn’t he? So wouldn’t that make him Cloudy Sky?

So there you have it. Having an existential crisis after reading Warriors. I’ll probably, no- definitely, make a part two to this. But I hope you enjoyed this. And Dovewing should be grateful that she doesn’t have to take a shower.

Amberpaw, out.

  • Okay… imma be honest…. (WE NEED WARRIOR SQUISHMALLOWS!) bold

    Maybe egg had a buzzcut when they found him🗣

  • ☁🌪-Skypaw(Skyspirit) Spirit That Roams The Sky-🌙 ☁ 🏳‍⚧ 🏳‍🌈Happy Pride Month!!!!!!🎉🌈 She/Her says:

    But seriously with the Sparkpelt one! Sparkfire is a WAYYYY better name!

  • Wait why don’t they call it medicine??
    And why is the name so long?!
    Bro I’ve wondered that for like 3 years
    I think it’s because of Egg’s coloring??
    YES WHEN????
    indeed, Leafstar is kind of bad at names. What the heck is Kitescratch supposed to be???
    I personally don’t think either should have redemption arcs….
    Isn’t Tree the Mediator for all Clans? I think he just happens to live in SkyClan.
    Prolaby in a few generations
    Graystripe should give out names.
    Nothing. He just sucks haha
    Yes, they should mark that part of the territory
    …love is blind???
    Because the main character *must* be related to Firestar in some way, shape, or form
    The kits came unexpectedly. She didn’t just travel to Sunning Rocks when she went into labor, it started while she was there
    Idk. I think Spottedfire was just a retcon honestly
    Idk good question
    Because he’s the patrol guy :’D
    Do they know it’s a week old???
    It’s just a common saying
    Tradition. And because RiverClan is mad possessive of their fishies
    It has. In Night Whispers
    Is that feasible with their biology??
    I think they have fun! The Erins are just terrible at showing relationships that aren’t romantic
    Idk they just weird
    Moonkitti 😛
    Maybe it went extinct or they renamed it. Idk
    In Rising Storm, firefighters were actually on the scene
    Take it up with Quiet Rain
    Edit: wow so speedy :O

    • oh there are cats who aren’t related to firestar and are protagonists.
      Sunbeam, Frostpaw and those are all I know

  • 🍄✨TansyBranch/Paw✨🍄~Tansy Branch That Sways In Wind~ MapleShade Supporter~ 🏳️‍🌈HAPPY PRIDE MONTH 🏳️‍🌈~ says:

    Leafstar *facepalm* WHAT THE HECK IS PIDGEONFOOT??

  • Half the cats wouldn’t exist in ThunderClan if Leafpool never had kits.
    Silverstream was at Sunningrocks because she couldn’t stay at a Clan. They’d wonder the father.
    additional question: How come Mosskit knew the warrior code despite being born the same day?
    RiverClan just does. They make mistakes because every other Clan says running. Then when they say that, some other cat might correct to swimming and argue about RiverClan always having fish to eat
    The lake has frozen, remember Flametail, or Graystripe being saved by Silverstream?
    Cats do have fun. Some warriors go outside and talk with their mate, some warriors race apprentices on badger rides. Whitestorm also played part in a kit game that Spottedkit lead.
    If a cat wanted to be vegetarian there would no way you could survive. Even honey comes from bees. Herbs from the medicine den could feed you, but it’s unlikely a medicine cat would be a vegetarian.
    It’s a crime to sleep in because of the dawn patrol
    and an additional question
    Really, why did Sparkpelt name her kit Flamepaw??? He’s black. Firestar is related to many cats, not all have a fiery color.

  • I love this article! All the points are so valid!

    And very very off topic but

    Last year my friend who’s two years younger than me and also reads Warriors said she would join BlogClan. I have since graduated to High School/Year Seven, and I haven’t been in contact with her. Before I left the school I said if she joined she could find me on this article cause its one of my favourite articles and is has a unique title. She said she’d join with the name Shadewhisker, and at the time I was going to be Honeycloud.

    Shadey if U see this it’s me! Hello! Haha you’ve probs forgotten about this plan we had but oh well!
