Guys I’ve recently grown obsessed with Shimmer x Pike 😛 Like it’s honestly one of my absolute faves
I forgot about them 😛
I love background ships, but I can’t really remember anything about those two 😛
The warrior cats website just posted the first few chapters of Star.
https://warriorcats.com/content/article/exclusive-star-chapters/
It ends on a cliffhanger; I can’t wait until November. Who do you think the true leader of RiverClan is? I think it’s either Icewing or one of the park cats.
ICEWINGGGGG
ICEWINGICEWINGICEWINGICEWINGICEWINGICEWING
ICEWING <3
mOtHwiNG
ICEWING PLSSSSSSSSSS (we need to forgive the DF cats)
It would be interesting, because then 3/5 of the Clan leaders would be former dark forest trainees.(Tigerstar and Harestar)
Wafflepaw
I adore
Waffles
✨️Wafflepaw✨️
I haven’t read ASC so I have no idea what’s going on, but I’m going to say Icewing because some other people are and it feels right 😛
What are some of the weirdest cannon, non-cannon, and head cannon ships you can think of?
Poppyfrost x Breezepelt.
When I read TFA for the first time I thought Poppyfrost ran away from camp to meet with him cuz he was her secret lover. I mean, anybody would get tired of fluffing Berrynose, right?😛 But now I’ve read further, I don’t ship it anymore😛
Well Jay x Stick 😛
And maybe like Holly x Tunnel or Holly x Fox Cub lol
Ummmmmm… Gray x Sand for some reason, I feel like they both have big personality’s and Sandstorm’s feisty personality would balance out Graystripe’s friendly one!
My ships are pretty generic, I’d say 😛
uhhhhh…
i honestly ship blue x crooked (especially as apprentices), and i believe oak x snow would’ve been cute. thrush x thistle if not for the age gap, and possibly frost x whistle and sun x moon (sunfall and moonflower)
#snowxmonster
nahh 😭
Yas 😍
CINDERPELT X BADGER
Jay x Stick for the win! 😛
for some reason I weird ship I thought of was cinderpelt x spottedleaf, if there wasn’t an age gap and spotted wasn’t a med cat (and spoiler warning; dead)
Idk why, it just feels like it could’ve been a ship 😝
That’s a good ship
HollyxWillow r JayxWillow
Well, one time I shipped Rootspring and Sunny from WoF, but that was only to make something work in my fanfiction.
My mind has blanked 😛 I saw someone say Jay X Stick which is a very interesting ship 😛
Berrynose x Briarlight or Cinderheart x Hollyleaf for me
i lowkey ship hawk x ash
Guys I just realized ShadowClan are sexistic. Their last 7 leaders are Houndstar, Cedarstar, Raggedstar, Brokenstar, Blackstar, Rowanstar, and Tigerstar, and they’re all toms :<
I wanted Russetfur to be leader sooooo bad, she’s still one of my favorite characters for some reason, and is one of the reasons I don’t like Lionblaze. But yes, ShadowClan needs more she-cat leaders!
Yess I really want Russetstar 😭😭😭
BUT I have to say this: sure, Russetfur is underrated, but she still gets some credit. So why doesn’t Boulder? I love him just as much, or more!
I knowww Russetfur would have made a much better leader than Tiger 2 :((
Agreed
NAUR
IM SUING SHADOWCLAN
Idk how u spell suing so don’t mind it hehe
Relatable 😛
#cloverfootforpresident
mmmmm some cloverstar would be delicious right now especially after the whole tigerstar 2 mess
Very valid points! We need a female ShadowClan leader immediately.
I don’t believe they had sexist intentions, it probably was just the luck of the draw when it came to who they had in mind to be deputy.
Agreed ^^ Nepotism helped too. Brokenstar succeeded Raggedstar and Tigerstar 2 succeeded Rowanstar.
I just realized something. There are prey in StarClan that the deceased cats hunt and kill. And there are trees in the Dark Forest. What did the prey do to deserve being hunted and killed even in the afterlife? And what did the trees do to deserve the Dark Forest?
maybe the trees broke the wartreeor code idk
Lol Osp you’d make a fine dad
why thank you 🙂↕️
Yw 😌 also gosh 3 min ago
Felinecentrism lol
Maybe the prey was evil… 😮

Waittttt…… That’s a good point
Don’t overthink it, mah friend
WAITTTT I NEVER THOUGHT OF THAT LOL
Maybe it’s magic prey?
Maybe the tree that fell on Longtail went to the dark forest
HELPPPPPPP
There was an evil mouse hehehe
perhaps the prey were poisoned and a cat ate them or something, and the trees had fallen on cats or something. I’m just not gonna think about it too much…
The hare scratched and the tree fell on Longtail
Justice for Longtail.
Maybe the rats that SkyClan battled? The tree that killed Longtail and paralyzed Briarlight?
Wait 😭 that’s a valid point
they fell on the camp that one time
PAGE 50 WOO
I totally didn’t come here just to say thatWOOP WOOP 🥳🥳🥳
YAYAYYAY
How has no one commented here since forever
Ikr?
No idea. Im gonna save the sunning patch y’all…. with a new comment /jj
Hiii
I’m not kidding, if Finleap was a human I would marry him. Jk…. Or not 😛
Lol I get the feeling, Finleap is awesome and WAY too good for Twiggy, tho I love their ship <3
No way. He’s awful. He forced Twigbranch to want kits because he was far from his own kin (who he chose Twigbranch over), and he pressures his mate too much.
I agree.
I very much disagree…he was very horrible and abusive to Twigbranch in trying to guilt trip her and force her to have kits…what if human Finleap forced you to get pregnant when you didn’t want to yet? Creepy, right? He also didn’t listen to her problems and made it all about himself. I hate him lol 😛
Yeah but maybe Ivy isn’t on that part of the book yet cuz I think they’re still on AVOS
But if they know that Finpaw becomes Finleap, they have to have read book 6
They can also just know it bc they saw others talking about Finleap
Umm… I’m not there yet, I’m beginning to regret my love for Finleap…
I personally wouldn’t 😛 he was very toxic and tried to force Twigbranch to have kits, even though she’s the one that will have to go through the pregnancy, give birth, and stop being a warrior for a while to care for them.
So, peeps, I understand yall think Finleap was creepy, and he totally was, but after a while he figured that out himself. I think he was just really distressed and anxious and feeling like he didn’t belong in TC. It’s a bad excuse but I’m ready to forgive him, just sayin’
We’ve seen nothing of him after AVOS. Who KNOWS if he changed. And I personally would never forgive him like ever for what he did, it’s DISGUSTING.
What is ur guys’ favorite prophecy?
maybe the fire alone one? :3 I don’t really care about the prophecies lol
“Before there is peace, blood will spill blood and the lake will run red”
turn your eyes, your wings, your fire
Embrace what you find in the shadows, for only they can clear the sky
The second arc prophecy!! I feel like it wasn’t too obvious or boring!
THE LAKE WILL TURN RED WITH THE BLOOD OF BROTHERS!!!
Last page I asked what y’all’s five favorite cats were, and posted this again on the BlogClan Wiki. I also asked this question on Reddit to gather a larger sample size. I will be submitting an article analyzing the data provided by the results of the survey in much more detail, but I thought I’d post a bit of it here.
The idea was that if a cat was someone’s favorite character, they would get five ‘points’, which were used to measure overall popularity. If they were someone’s second favorite character, they got four points. If they were someone’s third favorite character, they would receive three points. Being someone’s fourth favorite character earned a cat two points, and being one’s fifth favorite character earned them one point. Therefore, every person who participated in the survey had a total of 15 points to give.
I then added up all the points every cat mentioned received and listed them from most points to least points. Here were the top fifteen scores:
1. Jayfeather: 72 Points.
2. Ivypool: 52 Points.
3. Squirrelstar: 45 Points
4. Tie between Firestar and Hollyleaf, each with 31 points.
5. Brightheart: 28 Points.
6. Leafpool: 24 Points.
7. Bristlefrost: 22 Points.
8. Gray Wing: 21 Points.
9. Graystripe: 20 Points.
10. Tie between Yellowfang and Brambleclaw, each with 19 points.
11. Three-way tie between Tallstar, Longtail, and Cinderpelt, each with 18 points.
12. Tie between Feathertail and Mothwing, each with 17 points.
13. Alderheart: 16 Points.
14. Crowfeather: 15 Points.
15. Tie between Ravenpaw and Tigerclaw, each with 14 points.
In the article I will provide a few examples of why the characters are popular with the fandom (inserting the explanations people put for why they liked the characters they picked as their favorites. If you provided descriptions for why you liked the characters you chose, they will probably be in the article.)
This is so fascinating! I can’t wait to read your article <33
cool! I’ll be looking forward to that article :3
Hello, Mallow!! I am pretty sure I wrote about Cinderheart, Nutwhisker, Yarrowleaf and another character. Did I misread something, or they weren’t supposed to appear?
Y’all I put warrior cats spottedleaf gets the fire alone can save our clan prophecy and this is what I got:
“Are you asking Starefire for questions?”,Spottedlead yelled calmly.”It is at time spike this we need the words of onions. Did you eat a Star?”Bluestar whispered.”Not for some time, Flustar.”,Spottedleaf meowed. A few moments before, Spottedleaf took off her classes feeling hungry.”French fries are alone.”,Spottedlead said. Flustar walked up to her face with an echoed expression.”No.”
WHAT????
“Every dream has a meaning!”
The dream ^^ :
AJKJFDGHDFJKSHGKDSH
Erm what the sigma 😛
Lol!! “French Fries are alone” This is the prophecy for the hazelpage guys (which shows that yet again Fries are out numbered/hj):PPP
So I have a question, what if the deputy AND the leader died at the same time? *just now remembers A starless clan exists*😓🫣😶🌫️
This happened twice.
The first time, Snowstar and her deputy Brightwhisker both died (in Code of the Clans) a few hours apart from each other. Two warriors named Jumpfoot and Mossfire had a fight for leadership, but they both died. Redscar, their medicine cat, chose a cat named Flowerstem to become Flowerstar and receive her nine lives.
The second time, in River, Mistystar died unexpectedly and Splashtail killed Reedwhisker immediately after. Due to Splashtail and Curlfeather’s interfering, RiverClan has yet to choose a new leader after fake signs, incompetent temporary leaders, and an invasion from ShadowClan.
I think that the medicine cat should choose a successor or the Clan should vote, but in reality, the Clan would probably just fight until they found a leader.
I’m going to put this out there, a more popular opinion, but worth mentioning.
Warriors needs to end.
With the announcement of the new arc (Elder’s Quest) it feels like at this point the Erins are just regurgitating the same content over and over again just with new cats (or old ones for that matter). There are more cats in the clans than we can keep track of, and all “new” ideas just have something to do with StarClan.
Like any good series, Warriors has to come to an end. There are close to seventy books now, which is an INSANE amount for any series (even for the PJO universe). I feel like what draws me in to a series is it’s clear outline of plot and an ending. Warriors has no distinct ending, and it seems like it’s a loose collection of fanfics.
What about y’all? Do you want the series to end or do you want the Warriors series to continue?
“There are close to seventy books now”
There are 17 super editions, 21 (28 if you count the collections that contain three novellas) novellas, 47 main series books, 12 manga series books (15 if you count the collections that three of the manga series’ have), one graphic novel adaptation, five standalone graphic novels, and seven field guides. That means that there are 110-120 Warriors books in total, depending on what you count as a Warriors book.
As for your main point, I somewhat agree. Even the blurb for The Elders’ Quest shows high similarity to The New Prophecy. I hope that the authors have original ideas and the blurb is just not showing them. I like Warriors as a series, and I don’t want it to end as long as it keeps producing quality books, like the books in A Starless Clan, which, in my opinion, are some of the best books in the series. I hope the book isn’t as unoriginal as it seems.
i agree, it should have ended after asc
I haven’t read the latest arc (A Starless Clan), so I can’t really judge the quality that the books are at now and whether it’s a good plot. I just want Warriors to end with a sense of finality, loose ends tied up, and familiar characters are there, and we know everything is moving on. As long as the plots of future arcs are refreshing and don’t drag on, I’m fine with new arcs, but once the same material is reused, it gets annoying. The Erins should just host a competition and take a plot from a fanfiction if they need to 😛 I’ve always thought Shadeleap’s fanfiction series would make a great main arc! :p
