Hey, I need to know if I'm crazy or not. I remember early on, after the new website launched, they announced a new Erin Hunter series that would have been about fantasy horses. They showed a preview where the characters were playing some kind of board game in a fantasy horse city and had some cover art of a pegasus flying over a building at the bottom of the article. I remember some brief discussion on Tumblr over if it was weird that the centaur character and the pegasus character were flirting because the centaur has a human torso. No, I am not thinking of Centaur World. I remember reading this article on the website! This series doesn't exist!!! Did they cancel it??? Did I make this up??? Did I come here from a parallel universe where we got that instead of Bravelands???

Ok I’m very sure I actually know what you’re talking about. Because I am 99% sure I have actually read the book you’re refer to.

So basically working partners played with the idea of translating the “Clans Von Cavallon” series into English under the name “The Chronicles of Cavallon” and they sent some digital copies of an English translation out to some people (including myself) to read and give feedback on.

Since this was 2019 I feel like this project has either been put on hold or outright cancelled since I’m not aware of any English release since. But I don’t think they would be Erin Hunter books if they ever were to come out in English since they didn’t author them.

It was a pretty decent book iirc but I can’t remember much of it at all. So we might actually be talking about different things but I’m very sure it’s the same thing given the warriors connection and I remember a centaur and either a unicorn or Pegasus in it.

Starlingpaw mini leak

[everybody-loves-purdy]

That toy line is gonna be sold ONLY in the US just you wait

Like i wouldn't be suprised with the favoritism the US store seems to get as if lately

And it's gonna really really annoy me

The initial statement does use the word “worldwide” but I do definitely very much also share your fears. I can easily see the “worldwide” aspect being “shipped from US with an extortionate shipping fee”, if they don’t drop the whole “worldwide” angle altogether that is.

Considering they cut off snowkit as a character entirely do you think there is hope they might make some changes to the main series, that also were critizied, like make brambleclaw less awfull to squirrelstar? or make the cat around jayfeather less ableist?

Absolutely yes. And I think it would be quite easy to cut those things out or significantly tone them down as the dialogue has to be much lighter.

As much as I am exicted for starlingpaw pov I hope this doesn't mean the next third pov for the changing skies will only be skyclan cats.

I don't dislike skyclan but I'm really tired of the same three clans (skyclan, thunderclan and shadowclan) getting the focus, I wanna see more from riverclan and windclan too.

Windclan hasn't even gotten a pov in the main series, unless you count graywing, but he is kinda of a special case.

Riverclan had the previous arc entirily focused on them, but now it feels like they will go back to being mostly background.

I hope that if the theory the clans will have to move again like the they did in the new prophecy ends up being true, than riverclan gets a border near thunderclan so that they can be somewhat relevant again.

Yeah I love SkyClan but if we’re going to be POV swapping it would be nice to get some insights from RiverClan and especially WindClan.

I’m hoping if a POV rotates out again then it will be Tawnypelt, but I wouldn’t want that to happen until book 4. Don’t get me wrong I like what she’s got going, but I don’t know how long it can stay fresh unless the clans do move again (but I’m really hoping they don’t).

alderheart and needletail my favorite teen parents...

I feel bad for Alderpaw and Needlepaw in the moment they found the kits, they were both already dealing with some pretty stressful stuff then suddenly they’re responsible for two starving newborns

[everybody-loves-purdy]

Warrior cats will be getting a toy line that will be sold in retail stores

[everybody-loves-purdy]

Omg I love that last page of avos so much. I'm so proud of twigbranch finding her place and being happy and confident with herself, and Alderheart thinking so fondly of his friend needletail. I'm so happy the book valued their friendship too and remembered it at the end. I love avos I have no idea why some people don't

I adore that last page so much. I understand why people might be a bit disappointed with the second half of the arc compared to the first, but I really don’t think it deserves to be called the worst arc as frequently as it does.

The avos characters are very special to me and I love them dearly.

[everybody-loves-purdy]

I think Starlingpaws design slaps!

And now I immediately want a Starling / Moon mini set :,)

I would be absolutely delighted if we got a mini set of them, I love them both already and both of them having such unique designs really help them stand apart.

[everybody-loves-purdy]

Just thinking it’s going to be really interesting seeing someone who is on the editorial team write some full length books rather than an author that doesn’t have a seat at that table. Even if this move means that Clarissa is taking a step back from being actively on the editorial team then I would imagine she would still get some sway.

[everybody-loves-purdy]

They’ll never make me hate you avos

[everybody-loves-purdy]

It’s nice to see the warriors fandom so universally united in liking a post-Wayne book cover for once. Hopefully this Hidden Moon cover is the first of many like it.

[everybody-loves-purdy]

idk why but Starlingpaw reminded me of Darktail on the cover. now THAT should be enough to give Leafstar a heart attack lol

Imagine if she mistakes him for Darktail in hidden moon 💀

[everybody-loves-purdy]

Currently thinking about how the design for Starlingpaw somewhat resembles this ancient pattern

That’s very cool, I wonder if Owen drew inspiration from it for his design?

[everybody-loves-purdy]

I know you're into ace attorney but have you checked out ghost trick yet? If not I highly recommend!

I have played it, thanks for the recommendation! I absolutely loved it, I accidentally managed to complete it in one day I was that hooked lol. I’ll definitely be replaying it at some point in the future as well

After almost 6 years of being in the warrior cats fandom, I'm now considering on leaving. Even though I try to come back to any new content, I just feel like the new series have changed and ever since Kate retired, I've distanced myself more from the warriors fandom. This was one of my longest fandoms and I'm not longer the 11-12 year old that would watch warrior cats content 24/7 and yap about it to my friends. Drama just constantly happened in the community and I got sick of it

(Sorry for the long rambling but I consider myself to no longer be a part of the warrior cats fandom. I might come back to this blog and message once in a while, but this fandom will always be a special memory for me and it was one of my first introductions to fandom culture)

That’s very fair! The warrior cats fandom can be a lot lol, I hope you find a fandom space that suits you if you haven’t already.

[everybody-loves-purdy]

Goddamn now it makes a lot of sense why Leafstar accidentally mistook Starling for a badger. Even without failing eyesight I can see someone mistaking Starling for a badger.

Honestly if I saw that looking out from me from some bushes I would initially think it was a badger. He has a very unfortunate face for warrior cats society, I can absolutely see the same kind of mistake happening again. Even if the other cat doesn’t attack him imagine poor Starlingpaw on a border patrol then some ThunderClan cat leaps out at him before going “sorry whoops, I thought you were a badger for a moment there through the foliage”
