Is this anything? No? Okay
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 think where people flounder is when they misread Curlfeather's last scene to be a kind of disownment from Frostpaw ala the Patchkit AU MAP, and not as an indictment from Frostpaw of Curlfeather's actions up to that point.
Frostpaw is not saying— "You're a bad mom, and I don't love you,"
She's saying— "How could you do all this, that goes against the core values and morality of our society, turning Splashtail into a murderer, faking my dreams from StarClan, taking the life of your deputy, tearing RiverClan apart— How can you do that, and not acknowledge your wrongdoing?"
I mean, literally, look,
She doesn't want Curlfeather to leave. She loves Curlfeather, but also is filled with the weight of the betrayal and of her future burden— Rebuilding the home that Splashtail and Curlfeather had destroyed through their actions.
She still loves her Mom, guys.
Is it a safe space to say this ,,, Sol is the most nothing Warrior Cats character.
He was just there to pad for pages, until we finally got to the reveal. I wanted to smack him with toy hammers every time he showed up.
Our protagonists had much better things to do than stare at the silhouette of a guy on a hill who predicted one thing one time, and then just bloated the arc with his nonsense.
He was just a loser who knew nothing about the three's parentage, or their destiny.
And he sucked— and I think he's boring—
What if Tigerstar got tnr'd but the vet noticed he had a weird lump in his stomach so he ordered an mri but it turns out that lump was just a big hunk of metal or whatever and Tigerstar exploded on the spot and lost all nine of his lives at once.
Guys, what if I just stopped using tags?
Would love Warrior Cats find a way?
This thread on Reddit about StarClan no longer being mysterious is so good!!
Ok, about Leopardfoot. Jake suggests that Pinestar has a friend in Leopardpaw whom he regularly mentions.
This is not, and I repeat, not specifying or implying that he, Pinestar, has a crush on her. Yes, as Leopardfoot, she and Pinestar have Tigerkit together.
But, I don't think, truly, that the intention is to imply they have anything going on with eachother, at that point.
