Violet: What do you think is the worst trope in the series?

gosh thats really hard to say, because theres defiantly a lot of issues with certain tropes but like main characters becoming leaders, the constant forbidden relationships especially with medicine cats or even just the regular ass relationships. it just feels like too many characters are too predictable, but its a kids book. the cool warrior becomes a leader and gets the girl or whatever. some are better than others but there still a reoccurring issue with the series falling back on the same character arc. not every character needs to become a leader or needs to find love happily ever after or both just because they were a POV story

Wisteria: Are you looking forward to the Warriors movie?

if its still happening, which i cant remember how long it has been since i last looked into anything about it?

then yes! i hope it looks good and is fun to watch! i would really enjoy to have a good movie for a series thats lONG overdue for a movie.

Bluebell: Do you ship any rare-pairs?

oh yeah defiantly uhh top of my head these are some of my fav rarepairs!

oh man i LOVE LOVE LOVE mapleshade, she is one of my like! top fav warrior cats, and yES part of that is because i have a big soft spot for her because of how mEAN everyone is to her! including the authors!

i even love her and her killing spree!!

i think she is a character who has a HUGE potential to have such complexity but the authors are fucking fools and don’t know how to write and are sO fucking misogynistic like hh

she is a loVing mother! she is just this giANT powerful woman lady with her three tiny baby kittens

and i aCTUALLY dont hate her killing spree, i think its actually sick as hell! she is lITERALLY an ancient story of ‘mapleshade, the grief stricken mother who haunted the thunderclan and riverclan territory and killed three cats to avenge her lost kits’

she is liTERALLY an epic tale of the sorrowful mother who was burned by the world, so she turned back and scorched it right back

i knoW where never gonna see mapleshade again but i wish that like, we could have a do over with her. ALL of her appearances are so fucking different and wildly far apart! main series mapleshade is this misc dark forest warrior who doesnT really have much going for her character beyond? she suRE is evil?? she kicks puppies for fun! look how evil she is!

she’s really boring and very cookie cutter villian

her in crookedstar promise is a sorta a middle point from main series to MV, she’s evil and fucked up but we get this vague look at her character. she is lITERALLY an evil spirit who is haunting the family of the man who wronged her. and i think thats pretty fun of her, like fucked up and whatever, but i think its very fun.

then MV mapleshade is like? really her! its her alive and shown to be living in one of the shittiest time periods of old thunderclan with strict rules that you bETTER not break because you will be given no break ESPECIALLY as a lady (cough cough APPledusk?? got pardoned?? but mapleshade WITH 1 month old kits was kicked from her clan??? THE KITS INCLUDED???)

i just hate that despite the fact that all she did was try to keep her kit’s and their secret safe the story ends with her juST supposes to be seen as 100% in the wrong and evil. i think its unfair to see her story in black and white! 

also i just care her
