Guys I just realized
Cats are crepuscular.
Meaning they’re most active at dawn and dusk
Which is exactly when patrols are (at least the ones most written about)
I wonder if the authors knew that, or if it was a lucky coincidence, but hey, it’s neat

if i look back, i am lost

The F, Sasha?
I think we can all agree that it was a complete dick move of Sasha to tell all the Clans about Tigerstar fathering Mothwing and Hawkfrost, a secret she left the Clans and her kits to keep silent.
Why did she do it? Because it would be easier with the secret off her kids’ backs? So that they could accept their heritage and move past it?
Nope.
She did it because she wanted her two kits to get kicked out of their Clans so that they could live with her.
The scene basically goes like this:
1. Sasha explains that now that the Clans are moving, she wants her kits to leave their Clans to live with her.
2. Hawkfrost is firm on staying in Riverclan. Mothwing hesitates. Hawkfrost tells her that he’s Riverclan now and that “one day I’ll be leader.”
3. Sasha responds “No. You won’t.” Then she walks up to Leopardstar and ask that she order Hawkfrost and Mothwing to stay back, after her kids very clearly tell her that they don’t want to go.
4. After Leafpaw tries to convince Mothwing (who still seems unsure) to stay, Firestar cuts in, stating that the choice is theirs, though he agrees that they should remain in Riverclan.
5. Sasha then angrily asks (and this is a direct quote): “You want them to stay? In spite of the fact that Tigerstar was their father?”
Yeesh, Sasha.
She knew very well that her kits would be ridiculed if cats knew that Tigerstar was their father. That’s why she left them and the Clans in the first place. But when things didn’t go her way, she immediately uses the secret against them.
It’s not that she thought nothing would happen. She wanted to have them kicked out of the first real home they knew, the home they had now spent moons living in. She wanted them to leave behind any friends they may have made, any bonds. She wanted to turn their Clanmates against them so that she could have them.
Yes, she probably did it out of anger and desperation, but still. Seriously? Either if they had been kicked out or stayed, she could have ruined her kits’ lives.
To top it all off, before Sasha leaves, Mothwing wonders if she will give them a final piece of motherly advice, words Mothwing could hold with her. But all she says is “good luck on your journey. See ya.”
Follow up to my Starclan version
As I’ve stated before, I won’t be doing the “show what wounds kill you” thing because I would have to draw thousands of cuts on Gorseheart every time he’s seen.
So instead I decided to do something else– have blood always sit in their mouth, hugging their teeth and tongue, so that they won’t ever be able to forget who they’ve hurt. :)
——————————————————————
They do have pupils, this is just aesthetic.
And I MIGHT change the eye thing, just cause Gorseheart’s eyes are so dark and they’re against dark fur, so not having any lighting might make it hard to see. Or I’ll just stick to the little lighting and see how that works out. I mostly made it because I wanted to have some way of showing that they’re DF without showing their wounds or a red outline as most people do, and the eyes was it. Now that I have the blood-mouth thing, I probably won’t need to worry about the eyes anymore.
——————————————————————
There was no description of how DF cats look when walking in a cat’s dreams, so I decided glowing yellow eyes because cats would probably think that a dead dude with light glowing eyes is definitely 100% Starclan.

This one is probably more obvious, but one I’m not sure everyone believes:
A six-moon old apprentice is not the same as a six year old human.
This can be argued because apprentices and students both start learning around the age of six, but that’s pretty much where the similarities end.
I’d say that it’s much more realistic that a six-moon old apprentice is equivalent to a 18-year old human (or maybe around sixteen or something). Here’s why:
--A six-month old cat is about the same height (if a bit skinnier) as an adult cat, so it doesn’t seem likely that they represent kids.
--Although young apprentices aren’t often sent into battle so early, they’re still old enough to potentially fight in battles where they could die, something that’s plain inhuman if they were six, or even seven, eight, etc.
--apprentices often become warriors at 12 moons old. Like the previous comment, the thought of a 12-year old completely trained warrior is weird.
--Older kits are way more mature than human kids. That’s not to say that little kids can’t have their moments of maturity, but when you also remember how most kids that age act (4-6), it’s another odd thing (think of what Hollykit says here for example)
--A young apprentice dying is upsetting, almost as much as a kit dying. But so is a young adult/teenager. They may not be a kid, but it’s still sad that their life is cut short.
Again, this one is probably pretty obvious, but it has been nagging at me, so I had to write it down.
Can’t stop imagining a scene where Goosefeather comforts Rootpaw, because both cats had to endure the burden of seeing ghosts and being seen as weird by their Clanmates

1 | 2 | 3 | ? (Click for wayyy better quality) Experimented with color and placement for this one– actually using clip studio’s comic settings for once. Surprise, surprise! It’s way easier when you do that!
Reminder to put the names of books you are talking about in the tags of your posts. This allows people who haven’t read those books yet to block those tags so that they don’t have to read it and have it spoiled for them. It’s much easier that way too because it allows them to continue doing whatever they do without having to dodge around or ignore people they follow.
Example: if you are talking about a scene from Warriors: Shattered Sky and the scene is a huge spoiler, write “Shattered Sky” in the tags. It also probably helps to put the tag of the series name as well (A Vision of Shadows).
This doesn’t have to apply to huge spoilers either. Some people enjoy to learn everything the book has on their own. When they’re finished, they can unblock all those tags and, if they want to, can look at the posts they missed.

Guys please
It’s wonderful when you get to read a story and have everything unfold, and to discover things that happen on your own while you’re reading a book from a series you love.
Don’t ruin that for people just because you’ve already read it. Talking about it is fine, of course, but put the tags.
Obviously not warriors, but check out this art I made!
It’s a redraw of a comic panel from Alkupera, which I believe can be found on Comicfury!
A random 3AM thought I had last night:
Alternate alternate AU where Mistkit and Nightkit lived, but instead of being really good, they’re evil like their brother.
Maybe Starclan sent the illness to kill them off while they were still really young and weak, which is why they died as kits. To add, maybe Starclan could only do so much, which is why they weren’t able to also kill Tigerkit. Either that, or he was the only one who had a chance of becoming someone good (I mention in an earlier post that Pinestar was told that Tigerkit had a chance of becoming a good warrior).
This would’ve made Tigerstar’s threat so much worse because now there’s three of them to go up against.
Pinestar is told this very clearly, yet instead of actually following that advice in order to prevent his son from becoming someone terrible, he just panics about the fact that his son will become someone terrible..
Picture this tho
Firestar and Tigerstar are standing off in The Last Hope. They fight to the death, of course, but Tigerstar has the upper hand. He’s just about to kill Firestar when someone jumps out of the crowed and pins him down. It’s his mama, Leopardfoot. Tigerstar is confused, and a little scared, to be honest. He’s never seen his usually kind mother so furious before. He asks her whats she’s doing and practically begs her not to hurt him, as he doesn’t want to hurt her. She’s his mom! But Leopardfoot just snarls in his face. “Do you know how hard I fought to keep you alive?” She asks. “Do you know how much scorn I faced from our clanmates because of your father? Do you know how it felt to watch my baby boy who I loved and cherished so much turn into such a monster? Do you even comprehend how many nights I spent in Starclan wondering what I did wrong to have my son become so cruel! Well guess what, Tigerstar,” She growls, “You are no son of mine.” With those words, Leopardstar kills him. Tigerstar and the Dark Forest are defeated.
It’s been said a lot in The Prophecies Begin and in the flashbacks of Graystripe’s Vow that Cinderpelt’s wiseness is heavily depended on (it might just be GV, it’s been a while since I read the first series).
Do you think that that ever made Cinderpelt feel extremely pressured? Even if seasons had passed, it was still fairly recently since her mentor, Yellowfang, died. She must have felt vulnerable without the older she-cat’s support, and to have cats depend on her thoughts for serious issues on top of healing her Clanmates, she must have been so stressed out.
