There Are People Who Are Mean Online, And Who Ruin The Online Experience For Others.

Bigger clans suck, booo!!!! We don't need seventy-five cats in ThunderClan. Booo!!!!

Bara furry UTAUloids are so iconic. Why does every single one have such a banger VB. It's literally crazy. I have never seen a bara furry UTAUloid with a bad voicebank. They are all so high quality.

You don't have to ship Raven x Barley but it is canon.

99% of my criticisms are not with the books, themselves, but rather, the fanbase. Which I feel is disproportionately filled with a loud, and angry majority who don't respect other people, and who take the books and their opinions on the books way too seriously.

I know why Harlan gave Parker a Brooklyn accent— But, it was also very jarring to me as someone who always pictured Parker as a first-generation Asian American.

Welp. Egg on my face, I guess.

please be patient !

I'm still getting the hang of tumblr.

Even with John stating outright that she's conventially attractive, I still picture Lilith as looking more like Jeff the Killer than Morticia Addams, lmao.

There's something so special about Mapleshade's Vengeance that I don't see in the other books, namely, the attention to detail in the names of the characters.

Mapleshade's name, of course, is meant to be conceptually similar to Reedshine, and Appledusk. But, the names of Mapleshade's three kits also have similarities to the cats around her.

Petalkit shares a similar name scheme to Mapleshade's mentor, Bloomheart, and more importantly, Flowerpaw.

And ironically, Mapleshade foreshadows her own future here when she and Frecklewish reflect on Birchface, and Flowerpaw's deaths— Symbolizing the cyclical nature of vegeance.

Larchkit, obviously, is named after a tree, as is Birchface and Oakstar. Of note, however, is that a birch tree, and an oak tree are both hardwood trees, while a larch is a softwood tree, bearing needles rather than leaves.

Symbolizing, of course, that he is not a "true" ThunderClan cat.

Patchkit might seem to initially bear similarities to Frecklewish, namely that he has a 'patched' coat, and hers is 'freckled'—

But, you'd be mistaken, because Patchkit is both the last kit Mapleshade rescues, by killing their father, Appledusk.

Is the least resemblant of his father, Appledusk.

—And is the kit that most closely resembles Mapleshade.

Patchkit, unlike the other two kits, symbolizes Mapleshade, herself.

Guys, what if I just stopped using tags?

Would love Warrior Cats find a way?

Sandgorse is probably one of my favorite antagonist's in Warrior Cats. An antagonist doesn't always have to be like world-ending evil or whatever. Just an obstacle for the protagonist to overcome.

But, I really like how he has that, "no underachievers in our family," type of vibe.

Like, he's some sort of coach trying to get Tallpaw to live up to the family legacy of tunnelling (sports), but it's just not for him.

He's, much like Shellheart, a really great depiction of what Warriors could be if the Erin's had these types of character-focused plots more often.

I feel that Warriors characters tend to be paper-thin, and flat. More plot-device, than character. Which is why I love Sandgorse and Palebird, for example, so much.

They both have a personality.

Palebird is a Queen, but that's just her job. She has an entire rounded character arc outside of it. She isn't watered down to fit neatly into a personality archetype, she's a fully fleshed out and realized character within the confines of Warrior Cats, which I really enjoyed.
