Bigger Clans Suck, Booo!!!! We Don't Need Seventy-five Cats In ThunderClan. Booo!!!!

Tigerstar death scene but he's Caesar and all the Clan Cats come at him with knives (claws) at a Gathering or something.

What if Warrior Cats had executions? Like, guillotine, hangings, etc. How absolutely sick would that be? Let's behead Splashtail.

Drew myself as a Warrior Cat to celebrate the release of the second graphic novel! :3 Jingle / Jester, the kittypet.

I often see the fandom conflate plot points / set-up with whether a character is 'defendable' or not.

For instance, Ivypool lashing out at Dovewing in one of the newer books.

"I can't believe Ivypool said that!"

"She was so mean to Dovewing!"

Well, while I personally feel like Ivypool was acting out in a very understandable, and sympathizable way, I also think fans are ignoring the obvious elephant in the room.

—This conflict only happens in the book to set up the book's story arc about 'alternative' afterlives. Bristlefrost, who we assume has faded from the world entirely, is revealed to still live on, even if only symbolically, through a stag that appears before Ivypool.

In other words, Dovewing's grief over Rowankit is being juxtaposed to Ivypool's loss of Bristlefrost, so that the book can reveal that she's not really gone.

In other book series, a Series of Unfortunate Events, for instance, the choices a character makes say something about who they are as a person,

As an example, from a Series of Unfortunate Events, the character Violet Baudelaire purposefully writes with her non-dominant hand when signing a marriage contract to Count Olaf thereby nullifing her marriage to him.

This shows that she is both clever, and knowledgeable of marital law. She is an inventor, and sees all the possibilites before her, even ones that would require her to think outside the box, in situations where a solution might not seem apparent.

Contrast this to Warriors, and you'll find that most characters are mouthpieces for the plot with characterization on the side.

Cinderpaw getting hurt, leading to Jaypaw developing hydrotherapy, allows us to learn about Cinderpaw being Cinderpelt, furthers the relationship between Jaypaw and his connection to the stick, and allows for bonding time between he and Leafpool.

But, we don't get much overt characterization out of this. We learn that Jaypaw is smart. But, it doesn't really say anything about him as a character. This follows for every other Warriors character, too.

We are dripfed characterization through little moments, Whitestorm spending long hours with Bluestar as her health declines, Firepaw's crush on Spottedleaf, Ravenpaw being happy at the barn with Barley.

But, ultimately, the characters are written in service of the plot, and not the other way around, like in a Series of Unfortunate Events.

This is a book series about a plot with characters, and not a book series about characters in a plot.

I don't have it in my heart to get into an argument online, but Spottedleaf's Heart (2017) came out like almost a decade later from Bluestar's Prophecy (2009).

I just don't care about it, it is a pointless retcon, that reframes Spottedleaf, and Thistleclaw's entire character arcs.

I don't think anyone should be forced to interact with it as canon if they don't want to.

I still can't believe that Warrior Cats get so old, so fast. You're telling me you're already at retiring age at 8 years old? That's absurd.

Out of everything in Warrior Cats that I suspend my disbelief for, this particular choice always makes me laugh. Like, look guys, it's an old man.

I know there are a ton of Holly fans in the fandom, but I honestly think Jaypaw's pov was the most interesting out of the sibling povs in Power of Three.

Holly is this sweet, kind-hearted cat whose very sincere intentions get her into trouble, Lion is beating the shit out of Ashfur in what is the most heel-turn, dramatic irony mentor-apprentice dynamic possible, and also bumming around with Heatherpaw and Breezepaw—

—and Jaypaw is just pulling quantam mechanic time-travel shit, and playing investigator throughout the whole arc and it's just such good writing. He was such a meddler, and his relationship with Leafpool was such a rug pull once you learn the twist.

Probably my favorite arc just because of how condensed it is, I went back and read it twice after I finished it just to pick up on all the foreshadowing. It's so good.

Kayne fans who now hate him after 52 are FAKE. I love it when he’s an evil bastard :)

TRUEEEEEE I LOVE KAYNE AND THE SOUNDS OF HIS BARE FEET SLAPPING THE FLOOR

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—
