i miss the days when there were competent and interesting characters in warriors books aside from the 1-3 protagonists. when side characters actually had stuff going on that even affected the plot and protagonists. our main characters had friends, enemies, rivals, crushes and relationships that weren't the sole focus of their arc, meaningful relationships with their mentors, parents and siblings, etc etc. think of sorreltail, berrynose, poppyfrost, heathertail, breezepelt, ashfur, tigerheart, hawkfrost, literally any first arc cat that lives past book 1

to be fair they usually had the bare minimum of interaction to count for anything more than acquaintances but at least it was something. i couldn't tell you who frostdawn or nightheart's friends are if my life depended on it

nightheart doesn't have a single friend other than his immediate family i'm pretty sure. his mom, his sister, his adoptive mom, his adoptive mother, his grandma and grandpa... who else does he talk to more than once? mandatory protagonist bonding with sunbeam and frostdawn doesn't count. he almost had something going on with his mentor slash grandma lilyheart but it was forgotten pretty quick. i can only think of wafflepaw. wafflepaw is nightheart's best friend

frostdawn talked to her siblings like twice and had a decently interesting relationship with mothwing. her mom, by far her most compelling connection, died immediately. she had some fun scenes with whistlebreeze and mandatory nightheart time but other than that...? harelight? i liked harelight. splashtail was her friend i guess but like. you know. she also gets randomly attached to icewing after she has a prophetic dream about her but don't let the erins fool you into thinking they had any sort of relationship before that! they did not. frostdawn's best friend is harelight who is dead so i guess it's mothwing or whistlebreeze! work friends woooo

sunbeam had lightleap and blazefire for at least a book or two which is a modern era warriors friendship RECORD. two cats completely unrelated to her! normal clanmates she got to hang out with regularly and not only in life or death situations!! one was even a romantic interest that wasn't her sole motivation and contribution to the plot!!! not to mention the interesting and consistent dynamics with her entire family and then her thunderclan in-laws, which i personally don't count as family relations in warriors. so that's more friends! sunbeam's best friend can be anyone she wants she's killing it. i vote finchlight

conclusion? sunbeam is the only modern warrior cat to have friends. congrats!

i'm sure someone has pointed this out before. but i like the symbolism of barrenclan being your last warriors comic, and barrenclan in-comic also being the last... well. clan. i dont know if it was intentional or not, but it just feels right.

If only I could actually destroy Warriors forever...

I love that thing when people get a little bit tongue-tied and garble what they’re trying to say so they make a little “blegh” 👅 noise and start over. verbal reset button. hitting the top of the tv to unscramble the signal

I fucking love that big feet bird that has a random word over it.

no idea who might need to hear this right now but i want to say a few things to everyone

everyone reading this post, right here, right now, you are enough and i know that because you are alive and breathing and thinking and that is a great thing and simply that alone is enough to make you enough

if you're stressed out or worried or anxious, it gets better, trust me. breathe. it does get better. and here's a tip, don't withdraw from your everyday! (trust me on that, even if everything suddenly seems hostile and scary and bad at least give it a shot, it sure beats staring off into the middle distance and spiraling while feeling like a caboose passenger in your own runaway-train-brain)

your art is awesome because you made it. your writing is awesome because you made it. whatever you're up to, there's worth in it, and if you're having fun then keep that shit up!!! >:D

have a good day/night/afternoon wherever you are :] wishing you all the best!

thank you discord for the crash very beautiful 👍

when i say i’m from ukraine, people assume i live somewhere else now. when i say i live in ukraine, they assume i’m somehow immune to war, and there’s a logical division between a ukrainian they chat with on discord and a ukrainian on the news. bitches my yaoi is written from the bomb shelter
