Story by @mama-qwerty

Yellowfang and Jayfeather

I know that Firestar does die for good later since I accidently spoiled myself a while back and I'm like, oh no, how many times does that make that he died?? I'm pretty sure, he's on his last life now and I'm just here like noooooo. Not Firestar cause I love him and he was always my fave in The Prophecies Begin arc 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Okay, so Ivypaw. Wow. Do I have a lot of mixed feelings about her. On one hand I feel annoyance towards her because she let herself become so jealous of Dovepaw. Like yeah, Firestar started talking to her a lot, Lionblaze put extra emphasis on her training and she was chosen for the journey about the beavers, but we know that's none of Dovepaw's fault. I mean, she is special because of the prophecy. Obviously, Ivypaw doesn't know that, but she didn't have to be so cold and distant towards her sister, you know? Dovepaw was never mean to her. And I know it did seem to hurt Ivypaw, not just the particular attention on Dovepaw, but also her sister keeping things from her.

So, I think what I find mostly annoying is that Ivypaw was so jealous of Dovepaw to the point of letting that create a wedge between them when they had previously been so close. Like yeah, I get her hurt feelings and jealousy, I really do, but that's your sister 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Meanwhile, on the other hand, I also understand that Hawkfrost used her feelings and the situation to manipulate her and foster more resentment towards Dovepaw, while also pretty much giving her the attention and validation she wanted so much. It made Ivypaw feel noticed and strong, to have something that Dovepaw didn't. In this sense, I kind of feel bad for Ivypaw because she got played so hard.

And yet, she had also heard nursery tales about Tigerstar and still went along with what he and Hawkfrost said??? Like yes, she hadn't been born yet and doesn't know at all the full details, but again just Ivypaw girl. She's killing me here 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

AND then there's Lionblaze, Jayfeather and Dovepaw. They knew that the Dark Forest cats were recruiting clan cats to fight for them. How did it not occur to any of them that Ivypaw's dream was sus auagquwihwjqjwjjaka I mean, we the audience know because we have seen it play out, but I mean ahuqjquqiqhqiqiqoqikq I feel like if they had just thought for a moment maybe, just maybe they would have realized. They were also aware that Thunderclan cats could very well be recruited, afterall. Sure, Ivypaw is Dovepaw's sister and they trust her, but she also has no connection to Starclan, so like Lionblaze realized in the final chapter, why would they reach out to her and not the three?

Not to mention, I also don't know why they didn't tell Firestar from the get go what the Dark Forest was planning. Even if it was just the three of them and Firestar that knew, they could have been better prepared in case anything happened.

I was also surprised that Firestar even listened to Ivypaw. I feel like normally Firestar is more smart and careful than that. And I also thought the same thing Lionblaze later realized - it's about to be leafbare why would Firestar risk injuries at such a critical time, including Shadowclan?? Like Ivypaw's supposed dream just makes no sense once you scrutinize it. Poor Shadowclan gets such a bad rep aiahakajmawhwkmamkama

Yeah, Ivypaw is Dovepaw's sister and that's part of why they trust her but she's also not one of the three like I was saying. Sucks to say, but it's just how it is eusiwhwuuwuwiwuiwiq I think after this whole time Starclan won't appear to anyone regarding important messages. Though, I also suppose the clan cats won't necessarily know who is special/chosen or not, especially if they think this was a message from Starclan themselves. Ahhh

Idk, but this book seemed just like a series of very bad decisions lol
