It’s so cool how every single time without fail I venture on the wcrp forums I am given a reason to immediately leave.

Wcrp forums is taking Brambleclaw sweeping BGA’s least favourite character poll well I see

I always wonder what the stories would be like if the team didn't feel forced to make every arc 6 books. I know the new prophecy was originally a trilogy so I wonder what the other arcs could have looked like if they were more flexible. Feels kind of silly not just in warriors but in other books too that they feel every arc must be the same amount of books

Both of the latter arcs of bravelands are 3 books (unsure if the latest arc will continue past 3 books or not, I don’t read them) so it is something they have dipped their toes in, but haven’t carried that over to warriors for whatever reason ( I have a feeling the reasons are mainly money and fan reaction).

One thing I think about a fair amount is what the Erins’ would do if fans on the whole weren’t resistant to straying away from the modern timeline. Although there are quite a few vocal and active in the fandom who want this kind of thing, dotc books never do as well as the main timeline books, and many fans dropped off the series for dotc (myself included at the time). I do have a half baked conspiracy theory that the events of Moth Flight’s vision were originally meant to be part of a follow up arc but that’s another story.

Whenever the team do articles that have opinions in them regarding the writing process, there’s a few things that have been said that really make me feel that they would love to be free of the modern timeline more but don’t have faith the audience will follow (because let’s be real, they haven’t in the past, I fully think that feeling is justified). Hopefully whatever they’re cooking with StormClan will give them an opportunity to try and break into that era more. Hats off to them for introducing this idea and these characters (they’re clearly passionate about) in the super edition of easily one of the most popular warriors characters, if there’s any way to guarantee an audience that is resistant to change will follow you into a new era of the clans, then it is most definitely the way to do it. I sincerely hope this pays off for them.

hey, I know you don't mean it badly, but using narcissistic like you did in your description of Silkypaw is subtly demonizing for people with NPD (kindof like using psycho for any character who act in erratic or violent ways). self-centered or egocentric are words that describe what you try to mean without the attached stigma.

Again, I know you didn't intend any harm, but that word has a very specific meaning and its usage out of that context only serves to demonize a group of people who already deal with a lot of stigma on a regular basis

I do apologise, I will change the wording, thanks for letting me know!

I’m absolutely fascinated by the two apprentices in WindClan in the new allegiances, Silkypaw and Fluffpaw. Their names and descriptions just scream out-of-clan origins, and I really want to know what their backstory is. It must be intentional on the part of the authors/editors, and I really hope we get a WindClan pov to learn about them. Plus WindClan are the only clan we haven’t had a main-series pov for yet!

If we leave changing skies without a WindClan POV I will be quite annoyed tbh. I personally hope that Leaf and Tawny will get swapped out for a RiverClan and WindClan cat so we can have an arc with POVs from all five clans.

I hope we get to meet Silkypaw and Fluffpaw. For some reason I kind of hope that Silkypaw is self-centred, arrogant, a bit of an airhead, and charming, his name just makes me think of Prince Charming type characters (like the concept not specifically the Shrek 2 guy, although he definitely counts). I think it would be very funny.

I know cross clan romances for POVs are overused but I think it would also be funny if either the voice or Moonpaw fall for someone (bonus points if it’s my headcanon princely Silkypaw) and the other one in the body hates his guts.

Since Stormheart was the only she-cat who died in the gorge invasion and Mistfeather refers to his deceased & unnamed mate as "she", I'm hoping that since the Changing Skies arc will partially be in Leafstar's POV, that the two will be explicitly confirmed as mates at some point.

This is a headcanon I will die on the hill of lol, I’ve had it for years and even included it in my own family tree. Unironically one of my biggest minor hopes of changing skies is that we get a MistStorm confirmation.

Pov: Moonpaws voice is just firestar's new arc bc the Erin's have inconsistent writing skills

I can very easily imagine them doing this lol

[everybody-loves-purdy]

What if Snowtuft came along on Galestar and Stripestar's adventure

I know it was just Windclan and Thunderclan (Stormclan), but who isn't to say some others from the other 2 clans didn't join the journey in hopes for better prospects

I can most definitely see that happening.

Honestly it would be such a cool reason to explain why he doesn’t remember his life, because all of StormClan faded from living memory, maybe he was close to fading but not quite there because his crimes got remembered for longer than StormClan did? Like maybe the cats who went back to the clans still told stories about him but omitting the StormClan part.

IMAGINE IF SILVERHAWK WAS A STORMCLAN CAT AND PLAYED A PART IN THE DESTRUCTION OF STORMCLAN BY TRYING TO KILL STRIPESTAR

That would be so good!

[everybody-loves-purdy]

is it okay that I felt that Star was kinda… boring? Like Splashtail’s death had NO climax or anything (I did like the way the erins showed him going crazy), but like… (to me it felt that) half of the book was dedicated to frostpaw/dawn being like almost dead?? Like it was kinda a waste of pages tbh

Of course it’s ok to think it was boring!

I personally liked the second half of the book but I can definitely see why you and others wouldn’t, reading it I knew that choice would probably be a divisive one lol

since I heard that you liked ace attorney, I hope you like this since I'm a Genshin fan lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mn6KNPFvV6I

(Yanfei is a lawyer from Liyue in Genshin)

That’s such a fun video, and really well made, the artwork for the genshin characters is very impressive!

My way too early prediction for Moonpaw’s full name is Moonface

[everybody-loves-purdy]

What if there’s a StormClan SE and Snowtuft pops up in the allegiances

[everybody-loves-purdy]

So, if Moonpaw and her twin do end up being a thing where one can pilot the body at a time, would Moonpaw’s spirit form be a black cat while the twin is in control?

I saw this fanart on Twitter and suddenly the idea of Jayfeather being a dilute tortie became extremely appealing to me, especially since Leafpool would carry an orange gene from her dad (I have no idea what I’m talking about)

I also don’t know if OP intended for Jayfeather to be a dilute tortie in the fanart but either way, it’s gorgeous.

Dilute tortie Jayfeather my beloved

I hope that on the most likely chance we are getting a StormClan SE, that Galestar and Stripestar are actually cute at least at first because their dynamic is so fun rn and it would kinda sad if they ruined that by making the ship super rushed and make Stripestar and Galestar seem stupid for joining their clans together like that when they only just barely fell in love.

Either direction with their story would genuinely be so fascinating if done right. Either they were meant for each other and the act that was meant to truly unify them was the thing that tore them apart, or they rushed into things and the whole thing was doomed from the start but neither could back down once it was too late.

[everybody-loves-purdy]

I just really love StormClan, the Erins really cooked with Galestar’s story in Ivypool’s Heart. Hopefully if the next SE is a StormClan one it won’t let us down.
