Need a break from the hubbub of the rest of the blog? Or perhaps you just want a quiet page to discuss Warriors in depth. In any case, feel free to unwind in the Elders’ Den!

What exactly is this page, then? It’s a place to discuss, in detail, particular aspects of the Warriors series – to pick apart ideas and themes that perhaps either get overlooked elsewhere or require a nuanced perspective. And more broadly, it’s a quiet refuge away from the bustle of the rest of the blog!
If there is a more serious subject you’d like to discuss within the Warriors universe, remember to remain respectful of what people are saying and to handle the topics in question with the necessary care and respect. Does this mean this is a page solely for discussing controversial topics? Of course not, but rather if they appear, the mods ask that everyone involved remain calm and thoughtful – should a discussion verge too far into argument territory, we may step in and put an end to it.

If you’re looking for a general place to talk about Warriors but you feel like your comment doesn’t quite fit the Elder’s Den, check out the Sunning Patch!
More aro/ace cats in Warriors, per favore. Either does not want to have kits but maybe a mate, or just flat out isn’t in a ship. And not because they are a med-cat. Could be a main character. Anyone else have thoughts on this?
i think there should be a lot more lgbtq+ representation in general, and that includes aroace cats, so i agree! mousefur’s aroace i believe though, so at least there’s one
I agree with this! ^^ Also I headcanon Hollyleaf as aroace 🙂
Yeah, cool! I really like Hollyleaf, so I’ll just zap her with my almighty acespec vision (commences zapping my book collection with beams of light)
As an aro who relates strongly to Hollyleaf, I love projecting my aromanticism onto her
I thought it’d be cool to share with you guys this cool aro Hollyleaf drawing I found ^^ Unfortunately not sure who the artist is 🙁 But still!

Woah pretty! The design is so cool 😀
Glad you think so! ^^
Agreed! I headcanon Shadowstar as aroace too!
1000% agree. I went through all the pov characters a while ago and out of all 50 of them, only 7 have never had a mate or romantic interest, and (especially in the more recent books) cats have been paired up in ways that don’t make a lot of sense. We need a cool main character who’s single by choice.
Well we know for sure there will never be any official queer characters in Warriors, cause that would mean that in some countries the books couldn’t be sold, but I agree we need more single cats haha
I’m pretty sure authors can make statements of lgbtq+ representation (Raven X Barley and Tall X Jake) but just not blankly state that in the books, unfortunately.
Unrelated but I keep thinking you’re Lilypaw/tail because of your pfp 😭😭😭
omg yes😭 as someone on the aroace spectrum I agree so much, and I also think that we should have much more lgbtq+ rep in warriors in general! (however I believe talljake and ravenbarley have been confirmed as canon so that’s neat! :D) I believe mousefur might be aroace, and lots of people headcanon hollyleaf and shadowstar as aro and/or ace :DD
Idk might be a Sunning Patch question but what do you guys think of NightxSun? Honestly, in my opinion, it was a bit rushed, and felt like a copy of BristlexRoot. Do y’all like it/wanna go into deeper discussion lol? 😛
I really like NightSun. I think Nightheart and Sunbeam complimented each other’s personalities and had great development, even if Nightheart did rush it a bit and use it as an excuse to get out of ThunderClan. They ultimately built a strong relationship and kept it through many familial hardships, showing the value of their connection.
I like them, but they’re far from my favorite ship. For example, they were originally meant to break up according to the story team, and you can see that in Shadow when very suddenly Sunbeam joins Nightheart in ThunderClan. However, it played out nicely, and while it does feel similar to Bristlefrost and Rootspring’s relationship, it had its own antics that made it unique and I’m glad they stayed together for the rest of the arc.
