Does anyone else think that we need more non-Clan cat perspectives in the series? Like from the Tribe, Sisters, or another group? I get that the Warriors series is about the Clans, but it would be nice to branch out a bit.
That would be nice, but I’m going to hope for a WindClan POV first :3
Agree!
Realll I wrote an article on this ^^^
Agreed :3
I really hope we get a WindClan pov and I was secretly hoping for a pov from one of Moonlight’s kits after Squilf Hope but sadly that will not happen :'(
I agree!! That would be great.
It would be nice! Tho I am waiting for WindClan POV, because that is more likely to happen
Maybe, but like the others first we need a wind clan pov
#WeNeedAWindclanPov
I agree! And maybe less clan perspectives from ThunderClan.
I hope one day Thunderclan be the cause of a problem, not the eternal problem solver and clan we always know will win when they’re battling.
yeah agreed.
Maybe, but for starclans sake WE NEED A WINDCLAN POV 😭😭😭
It would be nice for SE or for a POV to start or end as a non-Clan cat! I love that idea.
(Also, WindClan. Please WindClan.)
Yes, I def agree.
I hope we will get the perspective from a queen who still has to fight for her clan and take care of her kits at the same time.
Does anyone else miss the vibe TPB gave? TPB gave a more realistic vibe, because back then there were no tribes, no SkyClan, no Dark Forest, no superpowers, no cats possessing bodies. TPB just felt more realistic, and I liked reading TPB. I kinda miss TPB now that it’s over. The new series just gives me a headache because there’s so much magic and superpower stuff, it just makes warrior cats look like a super fantasy cat series. So yeah, I miss TPB, I miss the old territory, I miss having four clans, I miss the old ThunderClan. Does anyone agree with me?
ME ME ME :”0
Me, plus the nostalgia TPB gives is overwhelming :’) /pos
AGREEEDDDD 100%
MEE
It is too overwhelming. Superpowers, tribes, possesed bodies. And I still didn’t read TBC (tho I have spoilers :P).
In TPB, the peace isn’t disturbed by some angry spirits who want to destroy the Clans and posses bodies to take revenge on a cat who rejected them. It is disturbed by protecting the their borders.
I noticed that StarClan wants to unite all the Clans by prophecies. Don’t get me wrong, the conflicts shouldn’t be solved just by one Clan, but there are so much prophecies, and all of them should be by the Clans working together. I see that StarClan got traumatized by the time when DF divided StarClan. Since AVoS, after the Great Battle and the uniting of StarClan, there are more events that should be solved only by uniting the Clans.
Now I get confused by what I am saying. Moving on, because what I explained is a bit out of topic. I miss TPB
I do!! The series was fine imo up until TBC. I’m not sure if it’s just nostalgia because TPB was the first arc I properly read, but I miss the vibe it had so much 🙁
Agreed. I miss Fireheart and his anxiety and awkwardness. I hated how in The New Prophecy he just loses what people actually liked in him.
I DOOO
AGREEEEED 100% BRO 😭😭
MEMEMEMEMEMEME
YES!!! 100%
Yes
YES
I love it
Like it’s my fave series because I am different and the main character /lh😤
MEEEEEE 100000% 😭😭😭
Yeah, I do miss it! But I do think they’d have to expand the world to keep telling stories. Specifically regarding the Tribe and SkyClan, I think it’s pretty realistic – it’s not superpowers, it’s just different groups of cats, like in real life 🙂 Otherwise, I agree with you! We can always reread the first series, though.
YESSSS
*raises hand*
Meeeee!!!
OMG I felt this so much. Like after season 2, it’s all about powers and stuff. With ashfur and so. It just doesn’t feel original anymore.
yes, definitely. I don’t love how involved starclan is with the series now, especially since they were painted as something elusive during tpb
can we all just take a sec to remember Hollyleaf’s fox kit?
Yes, I loved that scene!
It was so cute!!!! Why did they make him forget her?!?!?
YES
Me who hasn’t read Hollyleaf’s Story: …..yessir
Yessss I loved that fox kit soo much <3
I love that kit! well till it forgot his Holly
YESYESYESYESYES
Yes, it was so adorable <3 I loved the side of her that it brought out. (I rarely tear up when reading, but the time she met the fox again had me nearly crying…)
…She had a fox kit??
(Actually that reminds me of that one fox from Seekers lol)
Oh I have always wanted those kind of relationships where the cats don’t think all the other animals as prey or danger. So I liked the Midnight friendship with the questers.
Honestly I just wanted to say I’m excited for Moonpaw’s new perspective because Bayshine is her father and I love Bayshine he’s just a guy and I just really hope we may get some more content from him :))))
Similarly, I also really like Thriftear so maybe we’ll get more of her!
True, but I don’t entirely agree. Aren’t Bayshine and Thriftear first cousins?
That’s just to be expected as this point :p
Yeah, true
Errr yeahhhh, but at least we might get more character from them?
I’m not sure we will. Looking back at previous arcs, parents didn’t get a lot of attention unless they created ✨ drama ✨ (Ex. Sparkpelt, Berryheart, and Curlfeather were essential to the plot of ASC, but Bristlefrost’s parents and Rootspring’s mother? I don’t think so.) So unless Thriftear and Bayshine are going to be pushy about Moonpaw’s face and her destiny as a medicine cat, we might not see much of them at all. (sry for the paragraph)
EDIT: Who’s the speedy mod?
Probably, but so are whitewing and birchfall soo…
I like Moonpaw and hope she stays a warrior. I don’t really like Thriftear and Bayshine’s parenting, though. They seem to really be pushing her to become a medicine cat solely based on her appearance? I won’t judge them too harshly yet, though.
Yeah!
Ooooooooh yes!! Very true :O
Bluestar was responsible for Tigerstar’s death. Tigerpaw attacked Tiny but was stopped by Bluefur. Scourge later killed Tigerstar
Yes, I suppose she was indirectly responsible for his death. (Woohoo go Bluestar!)
Wait that’s actually true :0
YES ANOTHER REASON FOR PEOPLE TO LOVE BLUESTAR
LETS GO BLUESTAR DEFENDERS
WOOOOO GO BLUESTAR!!!!!! Edit-whoops I replied to the wrong comment
Indirectly, sort of.
Cool :0
Uh . . . Bluestar tried to stop Tigerstar from hurting Tiny. Tigerstar brought his death on himself (and Thistleclaw helped!)
Yes but she’s the one who still stopped Tigerpaw, if not Tiny would have been killed.
Oh, yeah
Wow 😮 That’s super cool!
I don’t remember much from the series but I’m trying to catch up by researching. Any other Brackenfur fans out there? He’s so underrated tbh.
I don’t think he’s underrated, but he’s pretty cool anyhow. I’m neutral on him though 🙂
Brackenfur I feel like’s so OVERrated cuz everyone likes him for being underrated 😛
I think he’s rlly underrated! Brahenfur is one of the few just genuinely nice cats who just needs some loving. ALSO since you haven’t read the series in a while they RUINED him in Graystripe’s Super Edition and made him a JERK! If you wanna catch up on him watch Moonkitti’s Mini-Talking Brackenfur (da link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzsblySXuX8 ) And she explains it pretty well
No, they did?? That makes me so sad 😭.
Ikr (ToT)
im not sure if hes underrated
I like him!!!! He’s very sweet and nice :DD
That’s what I’m saying lol!
no he’s so overrated 😭😭😭 everyone loves him but he has absolutely no character
Agreed!
I politely disagree. I don’t see how he is overrated, besides getting attention from SorrelXBracken. 🙂
I think he is actually a bit of a Gary Sue, because I don’t recall him ever being shown to have a flaw or make a mistake, and I’m not a fan of perfect characters
Agreed. I can’t enjoy reading about a character with as little complexity as Brackenfur.
I love Brackenfur! He’s so sensible and responsible and I think he should’ve been deputy instead of BrambleClaw.
I’m pretty neutral on him. I don’t think that he should’ve been deputy, but he’s likable in-universe, just a tad boring
Even if he was boring, he would’ve made a good deputy since he’s more responsible. He may not have an interesting backstory or any character, but in the real world, he’s exactly what ThunderClan needs. He’s strong, sensible, responsible, and Intelligent. He’s a Gary Sue, but in my opinion, being a Gary Sue is good. Only the fans dislike Gary Sues because they’re not interesting to read about, but a Gary Sue could make a perfect leader.
I don’t think he’s a Gary Stu. Sure, he’s unrealistically perfect, but he doesn’t break any rules with his existence. Also, taking a look at his early backstory, he has a flawed life. He is one of four kits born to Frostfur and Lionheart. He (alongside Cinderpelt) were apprenticed before six moons, and he was neglected by his mentor Graystripe so the latter could visit Silverstream. I still don’t think he should’ve been deputy. Graystripe’s promotion was suggested by Whitestorm, a senior warrior before his death, and Brambleclaw becoming deputy was due to a vision from Leafpool and him proving his worth. I’m not saying he wouldn’t make a good deputy, I’m saying that it wouldn’t make sense for him to be appointed deputy in the first place, if that makes sense.
I love him👺
He is probs one of the best characters heheh✨
I agree, Brackenfur is awesome!! He would’ve been a MUCH better leader than Bramblebutt imo. BRACKENSTAR! BRACKENSTAR! BRACKENSTAR!
I don’t think he’s underrated but I like him! I know he doesn’t have any development or a complex personality, but he’s just a sweet side character who does his job to be, well, a sweet side character 😛 A character doesn’t HAVE to be complex or tragic to be liked c:
I like him! He’s just a friendly kitty with a famous family 🙂
I feel like warriors needs magic and people being like “Hey! New clan here!” or “Hey! We possessed your leader!” which gets boring after a while. I’m not trying to spread hate or offense or anything but I feel like they add new clans and possessions and magic just to keep us reading.
Does anyone else here agree?
100%. Adding new Clans, or incorporating more supernatural elements, could be really cool if done well, but it feels like the Erins are now just adding those things to keep us reading, at the expense of character development and plot. Honestly, Fireheart had more character devlopment in Into the Wild than Rootspring did in the entire Broken Code arc. And let’s not even talk about the fiasco that was AVOS’s and ASC’s pacing. I’d like to see the Erins add a smaller amount of the supernatural stuff and actually focus on a real-life, well-paced plot.
I actually vastly prefer the pacing of A Starless Clan over everything in the series. It felt as if everything was given a good amount of spotlight, and the mysteries of Reedwhisker’s murder and the next leader of RiverClan were properly paced. The only book that felt odd was Star, where it felt as if the arc had to be extended awkwardly so that Icewing would have time to return to RiverClan.
totally agreed
Agreed :3
Agreed! I don’t think I could have phrased it better than Redz 😀
I think that they need to start a new story with completely different clans. That way they can add new positions, titles, clans, environment, and religions without having to add the change drama
That would be really cool!
Yup! Couldn’t have said it better. They need to get back the vibes of TPB
Agreed. The plot points with the Clans, who they were, and how StarClan worked were much more clear in TPB.
TOTALLY!!! Like fr I’m TIRED OF SPIRITSSSS I’m so confused atp 😭😭😭
I don’t come on here often, but some of the bg characters have strange (at least to me!) names-
I mean SloeFur? And there’s two of them? I didn’t even know either existed!
(might as well just name them BlackthornFur -_-)
And EelTail? (proof EelFlame (my OC) does not have a weird name)
SpikeTail? What led his parents to name him SpikeKit of all things, geez
HollowBelly- brutal
MidgePelt – his parents named him after a fly? FlyPelt?
And don’t get me started on FlyStar-
Also, since Sol’s name is Spanish for Sun, does that mean the cats know Spanish too- wait, what’s he called in the Spanish version, still Sol or is he Sun there XD
Sol could maybe be inspired by the music note…? Or it just sounded cool idk
no, he’s named after the sun bc he was introduced in that whole eclipse thingy
Oh ok
Yes some of the bg characters have weird names. Don’t get me started on Loudbelly XD (Geez Crookedstar, I love you but why?)
Also I wouldn’t know about the Spanish thing since I don’t read the books in Spanish 😛
They did feel strange. I’m still not entirely sure how cats would know about eels .
Yeah some of the names are sick 😭😭😭 like, who named Heavykit-
Idk lol, the word sun is called sol in Swedish as well but in the Swedish books he’s called Sun (weird I know). My guess is the erins just liked the name lol
Well, in the Swedish version Sol is called Sun. It’s because sol means sun in Swedish, so the translator probably thought it was funny to change it around.
I’ve always found that amusing 😛
😛
Lol same 😛
(Sol is Spanish & Portuguese for Sun! And I’m guessing other Latin languages have it similar.) Well, Sol was a kittypet originally, so it’s possible his housefolk spoke Spanish or came from a Spanish-speaking country 🙂 It could be short for Solar or something too, idk. I actually like Eel as a prefix, it’s quite cute.
Yes… but his twoleg named him Harry, not Sol…
(That’s why LeafStar named one of her kits HarryKit…)
Oh right! That’s weird. Maybe he changed Twolegs once? No idea.
i felt that cats were giving their kits weirder names as it went on. I liked the characters from TPB and TNP but then it became cool because there were suffixes we didn’t know and then all of a sudden its like flickerkit… finleap?…flywhisker? (that’s just rude of the mother, how could you name your kit after a disgusting FLY?) spiderleg?…fidgetflake? there’s so many I can name.
Hi! I’m working on an article about naming different famous singers warrior names. Do you have any singers that come to mind? Thank you so much I’m at a literal blank here XD
I’ll just dump my favorites 😛 Pvris, Glass Animals, Marina, Sickick, Mother Mother, and Modest Mouse!!
Do Justin Bieber I dare you
DO IT DO IT
Olivia rodrigoooooo
Chappell Roan, Ariana Grande, and Sabrina Carpenter! :3
here are some i like: air traffic controller, siames, peggy, liana flores, em beihold, katherine li, and livingston :3
ik they’re a band but i rlly enjoy coldplay and i think you should do them 😛
Gracie Abrams, Lorde, girl in red
I love Gracie Abrams!
taylor swift hehe
she would be swifttail
call me crazy but billie eilish
i love billie eilish!!
Judy Garland, Melanie Martinez, Aurora, and Jeremy Jordan! 😀
Rick Astley
Omg yes 😭
YESYESYESYESYES
HOW DID I NOT SAY THAT 😭
OMG THIS 😭
Billie Eilish, Lana del Rey, Taylor Swift, and Olivia Rodrigo!
Some less popular artists I like are Alex G, Mitski, and Pale Ghost!
Blixemi!
Oh wouldn’t this be a hard one? /j
I saw this saying somewhere and it feels embarassing to say it, but it works-
“If I had a penny every time a first-arc leader mentored and become the adoptive mother of the kit of a loved one who died, with the prefix White, I’d have two pennies. Which isn’t much, but it’s weird it happened twice.” (I don’t think the original word is penny.)
Joke aside, what do you all think of the mentoring-loved-one’s-kit trope? I find it kinda sweet. And in general, I like mentor-apprentice relationships, not only but also when they turn into parent-kit relationships! I feel like they’re not talked about enough 🙂 What are some of your favorites?
After ASC, I loved Mothwing and Frostpaw(full name spoiler!). Bluefur and Sunstar are nice as well, and I’m rereading Crookedstar’s Promise and his relationships with both Cedarpelt and (especially) Sedgecreek are very sweet! I love how he continues to care for the latter even after she’s made a warrior.
Soo true! Leporadstar with whiteclaw and bluestar with whitestorm .
(Also it was originally a nickel)
Leafpool and Jayfeather
Sunstar and Bluestar
Firestar and Cloudtail
Leafpool is jayfeather’s biological mom tho…
True but they were still mentor and apprentice
Yes, I agree mentor and apprentice duos are awesome! I love Yellowfang and Cinderpaw/pelt also Longtail and Swiftpaw.
Yeahh! Crookedstar and Sedgecreek’s relationship was really cute, and Cinderpelt and Yellowfang’s as well and omg yes Cloudtail and Firestar!!
Awww, you’re so right, those relationships are always cute.
I agree with yours! ^^ I really like Cinderpaw/pelt and Yellowfang’s relationship too <333
I feel like the next generation of kits in Thunderclan will have health problems, they’re so inbred!!! Look at Moonpaw’s family tree!!!:
https://justpaste.it/cbva8
lol true
Danggg 😭😭
That’s a good point but I don’t think the authors would want to tackle that. And, it takes quite a bit of inbreeding in cats for them to have health problems, unlike humans.
Are we sure they wouldn’t though?? I mean… murder, accidents (like car crashes), cheating, lying… I think health conditions would be pretty low down there compared to including serial killers like MapleShade, whom are fan-favorites 😛
fr, but it’s not like the authors care 😛
Gosh 😭😭😭
this is crazyyy 😭😭😭😭😭
That’s concerning😛
Hey yall! I want to do a new article on peoples opinions of the warriors into the wild/fire and ice graphic novel. Let me know if this link works. Thx!!!
