one plotline idea I have for Poolverse is despite claiming to have moved past it and trying to be better, Hollystar is still terrified about her son figuring out how much damage she’s dealt to her family to the point she keeps him away from Leafpool and the medic den altogether. Pool picks up pretty fast that his mother is intentionally keeping him away from his grammy

this is such a non-issue but truly no greater tragedy than seeing a piece of media furryfied and they've made your special guy the wrong animal. like that animal does NOT align with the themes in my little guy's story, do it again.

If you had to pick between all the “mean to everyone around them for no fucking reason” male protags to keep in this series who would it be and why? I say male bc it’s too easy to choose a she-cat bc that would be enjoying an actual personality with them.
fucked up and evil question lmao hm......hm.............i want to say none but if you are holding a gun to my head oh god um. uh. do i get to fix them? if so then jayfeather, he's got some spice at least. if not uuuhhh oh god i don't like any of them LMAO i guess rootspring is the least offensive of the bunch? idk if he counts.

What about My Pride? The uh YouTube series, I think the writer was problematic somehow but that might be a thing to mention and also I’d like to see your thoughts
It's on the list! My shorter, more concise thoughts are that while I appreciate it as very much a labor of love with some talented artists and voice actors on the team, the actual story and writing is disappointing, tone deaf, and downright infuriating at times.
I guess rattling off my issues (spoilers included):
I found the central handling of disability and Nothing's character to be poorly thought out. Needing multiple abled bodied characters to get her moving, it feels like there was little research done in trying to depict a character like her.
I hate that her name stays as "Nothing" and that an abled bodied lion lectures her about accepting it. Terribly thought out scene. I'm a she should've changed her name to Everything truther.
The central gay lion romance that the series is based off is pretty poorly written with very few sprinkles of endearing and fun moments between them unfortunately. Hover is...mean? She's a terrible partner and I was genuinely upset that her not sticking up for her girlfriend all because she missed idk a lion recital (something Hover?? canonically should not give a shit about???) was scummy. it would be one thing if Hover was meant to be in the wrong...but she's not depicted as that?
The two spend so much time apart, you start to get kind of annoyed at how much gay lions were part of the marketing and then the gay lions! weren't there!!
Didn't care for it!!
I actually liked the world and premise. I enjoy unfair and cruel societies, I like the idea of someone working to change the system (though I very rarely see the execution of that I like, very rarely will stories depict the actual necessary actions for confronting a society like this: tearing it down entirely and building something better).
I hate Feather. Them pulling their punch and not killing him was lame.
Nothing's brother being the twist villain should have been set up better, it doesn't hit the same way it could have had the series planted the seeds earlier on. We have no reason to understand why he would act this way, he was doing just fine better? Why not set up tensions when we meet the group of young male lions?
I don't like that the only real importance Nothing holds isn't because of something about her in the present, but the importance of her able bodied past life. Her ending with her wanting to die is...bleak because I don't believe she has recognized her own worth.
Poor handling of abuse. I disagree with the notion that trying to give depth to abusers is in itself apologia, but the show is trying to like....idk how to say this properly but it wants to "both sides" Nothing's mother's treatment of her, ya know? I found it really icky.
Uh I think I could say more but you'd have to give me a specific topic to bite onto or I'll keep meandering lol but I didn't care for the show but I do feel for fans of the show who are stuck on a cliffhanger. I hope the creator releases the rest of the story plan at the very least.

i don't like criticizing animations or fan projects (barring obvious issues of course) because they're almost always done for free and for fun, but sometimes i do see a premise, song choice, and character choice where it could've easily focused on a much less popular character or story and instead chooses the most popular characters available and just uh. crams them in to fit the song.

windclan being described as the most devoted to starclan due to them being closest to the open sky and mothermouth always stuck with me because in canon they truly do seem to get fucked over a lot.
anyways. do you think skyclan used to be considered the most devoted because they climbed the trees to get closer to the stars.

not to say that wc tumblr's reputation of being ""unhinged" is unearned but i'll say there is something so deeply unique about the community here in comparison. like a deep earnestness and interest in dissecting the books line by line that i dont see elsewhere

people say mapleshade should have had a bigger body count which is true but i stand firm that the reveal should have been that the kittens she drowned weren't even hers. that she'd kidnapped another queen's kits and claimed them as her own only to be responsible for their deaths.

i’ll never be able to hate female characters in warriors the way i hate male characters. characters like ivypool and asir!feathertail will always leave me wanting better narratives for them compared to characters like crowfeather and bramblestar in which my first gut reaction is i hope you die in the game and in real life

i know it’s not really in leafpool’s established nature but could you imagine that the moment brambleclaw turned on squirrelflight at that gathering, she immediately went off on him as if he had any room to judge her for secrets and revealed what he’d done in tnp
