what did that other anon mean by *Tawnypelt* now being a Crowfeather love interest? oh god what is The Elder's Quest retconning

Leaked pages from the Amazon preview of the Elder's Quest E-book, which you can access if you have an Amazon account;

She starts thinking about how old and lonely she is before being attacked by psychic MP4s of Crowfeather dancing the macarena. The gas leak has spread to ShadowClan, I'm afraid

Some are speculating that this is happening because Cherith is the last Erin standing, and now there's no one to stop her from making TawnyCrow canon. Have to admit, if that is the case, I respect women's wrongs. This is infinitely more tolerable if I imagine Mad King Cherith up upon a castle raining crackship fireballs down at me.

Warriors: Changing Skies #1 - The Elders' Quest

The launch of a brand-new arc in Erin Hunter’s #1 bestselling Warriors series find the Clans navigating an ominous prophecy that foreshadows the destruction of the Moonpool, and the end of the Cats' connection to StarClan.

As Leafbare approaches, a new danger threatens the Clans. Twoleg construction has encroached on Clan territory, poisoning the stream and making prey especially scarce for SkyClan. Meanwhile, their leader, Leafstar is struggling with a loss of vision while trying maintain authority over a Clan that increasingly doubts her ability to lead.

In ShadowClan, Tawnypelt senses peril as the Twoleg construction threatens the Moonpool, but she can’t get anycat, especially her son, Tigerstar, to listen. Frustrated with the younger cats who don't respect her, she decides to take matters into her own paws.

In the midst of the chaos, Moonpaw, an apprentice struggling to understand the mysterious voice in her head, thinks that she might be having visions. But the voice becomes increasingly sinister, and Moonpaw wonders if’s a sign of darkness on the horizon.

Cats shown: Leafstar (center), Tawnypelt, and Crowfeather (top).

Snippet Sunday (27th Oct)

In which flirtation is just another tool in Trickster's con-artist toolbox.

You know,” Trickster said, slow and sultry and expertly suave, “To’mass–”

“It’s, um, To’maz, actually. They always print the nametags wrong.”

“To’maz,” Trickster smoothly corrected, “forgive me my forwardness, but I just have to say. You have the most beautiful eyes.”

As he spoke, Trickster gently placed his hand on To’maz’s cheek. Gently, he lifted To’maz’s head until he was looking deep into Trickster’s eyes - and not at the appointment book he’d been about to examine.

“Just stunning.” Trickster, gazing into To’maz’s eyes with a smile so saccharine it made Llanedd want to roll theirs, raised his hand from To’maz’s cheek to instead hover by the arm of his glasses.

“May I?”

To’maz –flushed, flustered, faintly pink– nodded.

Slowly, Trickster removed To’maz’s glasses. And, Llanedd realised from the resulting, all-too-familiar squint, his ability to see.

“I think I might have a new favourite colour.”

At Trickster’s words, To’maz ducked his head in… shyness? Modesty? Reciprocated flirtation? Llanedd had neither the feelings, knowledge, nor inclination to decipher. Still, whatever it was had him reaching up to tuck a loose strand of hair back behind his ear as he peeked up at Trickster from beneath eyelashes that, to Llanedd’s utter bafflement, they would have sworn were fluttering.

The moment he lifted his hand, Trickster, in one smooth movement, spun the now untouched appointment book, dropped his gaze to scan its page, and returned it to its original position, all in the scant few seconds it took for To’maz’s hand to drop back atop the desk.

Annoyingly, Llanedd couldn’t help but be impressed.

moonpaw's inner voice is literally just ADHD thoughts mannnn

[winepaw]

moonpaw is actually adorable and i absolutely love her and sunbeam…….beautiful imo.

What the heck was even the point of Wafflepelt if they were just going to immediately sideline him? “Oh, here’s an extra kittypet for Thunderclan to have.”

I have no idea. Nightheart did not need an apprentice. ThunderClan did not need another warrior. Even Frostpaw's journey was largely irrelevant; half a book was dedicated to traveling so she could learn a skill she barely used.

Why even run a submission contest to get a cat added as a warrior if they're not even going to matter at all. Waffle could have just been a kittypet cameo at this point. Hope he doesn't just become Stormcloud 2.

i was listening to remember you from adventure time and now i can't stop thinking about raven and her mom.

essentially a version of the evil queen who didn't initially want to be evil, but after signing the storybook of legends, didn't really have control over her thoughts and actions. she's slowly fading into something she's not and someone she doesn't know, and she's worried for what will happen to her daughter — what she'll do to her daughter.

maybe she's writing it down as letter for her daughter one day and it remains locked in her old belongings after she's arrested and thrown into mirror prison. raven finds it years later, after years spent resenting and hating her mother, only to see her mother was once just like her; how despite how cruel and awful she's been to raven, maybe her love for her was real — as least initially. how raven could've turned out just like her mother, unable to resist the powers of the storybook if she signed it on legacy day.
