I know this is just beating a dead horse at this point but good god Warriors really does have so many opportunities to write all kinds of different complex tales and relationships, even just as shorts, and it makes me so so sad. Even just the smaller things, the ones that almost hilariously ignore the bigger plot going on around them.
We all know Breezepelt, but I personally wanna know about his kids! I want to know what kind of father he is to four whole daughters. He’s the guy known for having daddy issues, is he a terrible father? Is he just an okay one? Is he genuinely trying really hard to be good? I want to know!
What about the aftermath of Brokenstar’s reign? What happened to the apprenticed kits who survived the ordeal? Did they remain as paws but had an extended training time? Were they put back in the nursery and expected to just go on knowing what the outside world looked like until moons later? What about the apprentices named before they were adults, were they changed back to paws? What kind of generational trauma did ShadowClan carry from Brokenstar, from all the children who died and all the ones who grew up much too fast?
Dawnpelt was known for mainly one thing: the cat who believed, wholeheartedly, that Jayfeather killed Flametail. She is now also the mother of Sleekwhisker, a Darktail obsessed villain, Juniperclaw, who briefly joined Darktail, poisoned prey, and is now dead and guarding the border between StarClan and the Dark Forest. And then there’s Strikestone, who joined Darktail for a bit but then didn’t do much else except also die. Thats two children dead, one who is denied redemption despite his willingness to, and a third child whos very murderous. Does that not fuck someone up, at least a little?
Pouncestep is my personal favorite simply because she has become the background character in a family of main characters. Lightleap is slowly getting a little bit of spotlight thanks to Blazefire, but Pouncestep is just...there. Literally what is her life even like, watching all her important family members deal with the worst thing ever five times a week. Is she minding her own business. I hope she’s just vibing. I want a calm short with her ignoring all the plot.
Moonkitti brought this up already, but she was so right for it, cause...what about all the cats named in honor of the dead? Hollytuft? Sorrelstripe? Fernsong? Even new Bristlekit and Stemkit, and so many more---does that not mess with a cat? We know it messed with Nightheart, and while being named after and related to Firestar I’m sure does some things to a dude, we have other cats who do look eerily similar to who they’re named after. Lets not even start with Cinderheart. With this naming tradition becoming more and more common, one has to wonder if ThunderClan is gonna be filled to the brim with cats that have some INSANE identity issues.

Good god everyone in this tag shut the fuck up about the canonness or what the crew will write about the ship in the show because guess what?! I do not fucking care! The shippers of this ship do not fucking care! Shipping something is not about the canon potential of it. Why are you all so mad about some little blushing scenes? Leave the crew alone just because you don't like a ship that may become canon possibly does not mean they have done a bad writing crime, it just means you're not getting everything you wanted
I'm so exhausted of going into the tag for fun stuff and every post is like "huntlow shouldn't be canon because i have my own beliefs on what the sexual orientations of the characters should be and i think i have the ultimate authority on whether what the crew actually writes fits what the rest of the show has established already" or it's like "heres a long ass rant post that ive dressed up with all these seemingly progressive reasons for why the ship is problematic but in actuality im just a bitter shipper who is being confronted with the fact that my ship won't be canon" or it's shippers being like "in defense of my ship which has had exactly three scenes with slight blushes that for some reason everyone and their mother is getting upset by" as if they need to write this defense post in the first place as if shipping isn't just throwing characters at a wall and saying i like those two together because the ship tag is just overrun by a bunch of antis who always do shit like this when the fandom's favorite white boy falls for a woc and the shippers have to double as her defense squad (ive had to become a woc character defender so many goddamn times because she had the misfortune of being in a canon ship with a white man)
And I'd just like to say from the bottom of my heart, shut the Fuck up.
I'm so exhausted of this. I hate ship discourse, it's literally so stupid, why do you all care so much, get out of the tag if you wanna be negative about the ship, literally no one asked and now the ship tag which should be full of fun, nice, sweet content made by fans of the ship for fans of the ship is being clogged by antis and defense posts and I'm just so tired. Like do you know how many Notps I've had? Do you know how many ships I've hated beyond reason? Do you know how many of those ships were popular? Do you know how many of them were canon? There was one Notp that went canon that was one of the main reasons I stopped watching the show, but do you wanna know how many of these ships tags I posted in? How many of the shippers I annoyed or yelled at for shipping it? Did I ever try to tell the creators of the show they were wrong for making my Notp canon? God, no, because I was raised with something called Manners.
Have something negative to say? Have an opinion about a ship you don't like? Wanna tell people they're wrong for shipping what they ship and that their ship shouldn't be canon and that if the writers make it canon then they've betrayed you and the past writing they've done for the show? How about instead you ask yourself this question, Who tf cares? And then when the answer is obviously No One, then you just shut up. Thanks.
