okay, so, after seeing someone mention that they had to reread all of the warriors books due to not being all caught up with every book, i felt much better about my own lacking in relevancy. so after stalking for a while, i'm making a blog to talk about everything i want to regarding murder-cats!
here are some things you should know about me:
call me chase, i'm 18 & white (also tme & singlet)
i am an autistic transmasc butch bisexual sapphic(/lesbian)
i am inclusive! i do not tolerate harassment or bigotry against common good-faith identities at the center of discourse, including "contradictory" labels such as "bi lesbian"
my favorite warriors character is needletail, and i don't currently have a favorite book
i have a 5-years-old sona, stormchaser (where my chosen name derived from btw!), and i'm working on developing another oc, asterspark!
this is my reading progress thus far (a list for myself):
i am now reading leopardstar's honor; next i'll read onestar's confession, squirrelflight's hope, and TBC (ideally, if i can find the motivation of course)
i'm working on completing my collection of physical copies. right now i own DOTC (6/6), TPB (6/6), TNP(6/6), PO3/POT (6/6), OOTS (6/6), AVOS (6/6), TBC (6/6), ASC (1/3), super editions (15/15), three-parts novella sets (7/7), guidebooks (4/6) (including enter the clans double compilation), mangas (1/20). i have yet to acquire ASC (as it's released over time), replace old vintage series covers with new versions, and replace hardcover super editions with paperback so they'll fit on a shelf.
i have read TPB, OOTS, AVOS, and just started TBC. although i have not read TNP or PO3/POT, i know of the canon events. i do not plan to read DOTC as i have heard it will be boring, but still have yet to learn the canon events of it. the super editions i have not read (assume the rest are done) are skyclan's destiny, bramblestar's storm (not looking forward to it but whatever lol), squirrelflight's hope, graystripe's vow, leopardstar's honor, and onestar's confession. i have not read any mangas and only six novellas; hollyleaf's story, tigerclaw's fury, leafpool's wish, dovewing's silence, mapleshade's vengeance, and spottedleaf's heart.
in total, i have read including individual novellas & guidebooks, excluding enter the clans & mangas: 36/86. all of this information (+ above) is based off of this page.
i don't really want to have a set DNI list. this fandom, from what i've seen, is probably chill enough to feel safe in with any takes i may have, even if they're disagreed upon.
how much more obvious could it be that the sixth book of a starless clan is going to be called star? river, sky, shadow, wind... the fifth book will clearly be thunder, despite it not being announced yet(?), and then what? six books for a series, five clans... unless you count starclan too. it's a pretty significant one to save for the finale and after all, it just makes sense.
the one thing i've been waiting to discuss since i've never seen anybody else mention it before (though i'm sure i'm not the first) is how significant defending the forest from bloodclan in the darkest hour was only for all the native clans to travel to the lake for their new permanent home less than a whole series later. i was rereading (skimming through, more like) TDH a few weeks ago and the intense emphasis on fighting for their home caught me by surprise considering they ended up being forced to abandon it (relatively) not that long after anyway....
this isn't a criticism of the writing btw, not directly or intentionally at least, i just think it's kinda funny to be honest
