Just Saw A Post On A Confession Blog That Made Me Feel So Validated About That Post I Made A Day Or So

I know there are a ton of Holly fans in the fandom, but I honestly think Jaypaw's pov was the most interesting out of the sibling povs in Power of Three.

Holly is this sweet, kind-hearted cat whose very sincere intentions get her into trouble, Lion is beating the shit out of Ashfur in what is the most heel-turn, dramatic irony mentor-apprentice dynamic possible, and also bumming around with Heatherpaw and Breezepaw—

—and Jaypaw is just pulling quantam mechanic time-travel shit, and playing investigator throughout the whole arc and it's just such good writing. He was such a meddler, and his relationship with Leafpool was such a rug pull once you learn the twist.

Probably my favorite arc just because of how condensed it is, I went back and read it twice after I finished it just to pick up on all the foreshadowing. It's so good.

Bara furry UTAUloids are so iconic. Why does every single one have such a banger VB. It's literally crazy. I have never seen a bara furry UTAUloid with a bad voicebank. They are all so high quality.

I love my url sooooo much, but I also want to delete all my posts and pretend I was never here—

Not because of anything fandom related I just get in those moods where I want to delete stuff. And Idk.

If you view Warrior Cats as being human-like that's fine.

—But, I also disagree.

And I think you lose a lot of the value of reading a book series about cats by moralizing their society against human standards instead of enjoying the world building for what it is.

This thread on Reddit about StarClan no longer being mysterious is so good!!

I will say this.

Personally, I don't think Dustpelt x Ferncloud is a problematic canon ship, or a bad canon ship.

I think they're cute together, and I see no reason to make excuses for or about the Erin's sensibilities back then vs now.

You should be able to ship whatever you want without fear of saying so— and I think if people are afraid to do that, in the fandom, then it says more about the fandom itself then it does about the morality of the ship.

Scrolling through the Malevolent tag and I'm so happy to see that Kayne is so many people's favorite character. I love him so much. (John is my close second favorite).

With Antoine following in third—

If it seems illogical it's because it's a plot device. It is meant to further the story.

Crowfeather being mean to Breezepaw is foreshadowing. He does that so Lionpaw can go, "Wow, glad he's not my dad,"

But— Surprise, he is.

Sometimes when you say,

"Why does x thing have to happen, that I disagree with, when y thing could've happened instead?"

Because then there'd be no plot. x thing happens so z thing can happen later on.

It's not the authors rubbing their hands together and going,

"Yes! Yes! Bad parenting! I support it!"

Come on, guys, use your brains.

The way some people talk about characters in this fandom is crazy.

"Mapleshade shouldn't have tried to cross the river when the bridge was right there!!"

Ok? And? If she had made the right choice then the story wouldn't have ended like that. There would've been no plot.

"There's no reason for Crowfeather to use his love for Feathertail as justification for his actions!"

Actually, there is. She was significant to his character, and the writers wrote him like that. He is like that because someone made the choice that he would feel that way. She is his motivation.

"Onestar shouldn't have abandoned his son!"

But, he did. His whole thing is that by shirking his responsibility to Smoke, he created Darktail. His actions were the motivation for Darktail being a villain.

I know I don't usually mention things that I dislike about the books but probably one of the all-time "that was dumb," moments that I think about fairly often is the outcome of the Firestar and Bramblepaw " trust " arc that happens in the first series.

They have this whole arc where Firestar goes from being afraid of Bramblepaw to gradually accepting him.

And then— the Erin's ruin it by deciding that Firestar named him Brambleclaw.

Yes— Nothing says, "I trust you," like naming Bramblepaw after his father.

This father, mind you.

It makes the entire first arc relationship between the two, moot. Honestly one of the worst writing decisions the Erin's have made.

I don't know what the fandom consensus is on popular Jayfeather and Lionblaze ships, but I really do like Jay x Cinder, and Lion x Pebble. (I don't really ship Hollyleaf with anyone.)
