Reading “A Dangerous Path” for the first time as an adult

This post was brought to you by: would have read this sooner but I got a ps5

It is genuinely sad seeing cats missing from the clan roster because of deaths -in the previous book

Tigerstar, my loathed,

Oof shadowclan is so much smaller now, yeah.

oooh prologue time, has every book had one? I don’t remember

oh a dog perspective, that’s new! don’t love where it’s going but its new!

ah the recaps

poor fireheart

“Nothing to fear from shadowclan” fuck off tigerstar

Bluestar’s decline continues to be legitimately painful to watch :( 

Fireheart dismayed by Cloudpaw’s refusal to wait permission yet still considering recommending him for a warrior position 

hello graystripe!

I know there’s a lot of books in this series, and I worry given how far back these recaps reach that at one point the books would inevitably just become entirely made out of recaping info. why am I being reminded of main events that happened in book one.

I dislike the way the cats get full language and dogs get....whatever the fuck they have going on

so many impending new warriors

You’d think fireheart would have some empathy for bramblekit given the way he was treated while new to the clan

is Snowkit deaf?

Bluestar :( thats not gonna go over well! 

at least Fireheart is smart enough to have cloudpaw not be the only one promoted

“No one get sick or hurt in any clan as every fucking medicine cat is going to be far as fuck away”

travel buddies!

“I won’t ask your clan secrets but here, have some of ours.”

oh hello princess!!

my guess is they’re looking for the dogs, you’d think the clans would have seen more than a few of them by now

Sandstorm is having one hell of a day

Tigerstar, perish, no I don’t know why you want to talk to graypool no I don’t care.

noooo graypool :(

Fireheart he is a baby leave him alone

Gotta love the abelism in these books!

NOOOO SNOWKIT :(

the fuck kinda beef do these two have, Sandstorm and Cinderpelt both, chill.

Cloudpaw really said “fuck it im an atheist”

is this what the kids call, the calm before the storm? I don’t trust this

there’s the storm, I get why, but it is genuinely very hard to watch Bluestar only trust Fireheart until he counters her paranoia

It does feel weird how much shorter the dream conversations go, like what the fuck, why did he get so much more to go off of in the earlier books.

“He had never imagined he would disobey bluestar” you sure about that???? you sure, this, the cat who fed other clans, who kept investigating the deputy against the leader’s wishes, never thought he’d disobey.

aaah maybe should have had that talk with those kits sooner

Fireheart king of timing

more recaps!

Ravenpaw...

Whitestorm would have made so much more sense as deputy and I’m never fully going to be over that

Bold to insult the fucking deputy about his history as a pet

yay! love avoiding bloodshed

is he about to get demoted

Well that’s one fucking way to go about discipline I guess

oh no I think I’ve seen this in the MAPS

I knew her death was impending but also oh no

okay not yet but oh no graystripe :(

well, graystripe is safe, big f for the clan’s trust in bluestar

Sandstorm calm the fuck down

That won’t go over well, poor swiftpaw

Longtail go talk to Bluestar yourself, asshole

Cloudtail!

see yes I’ve never read these but I’ve seen some of the music videos I knew swiftpaw was gonna pull some shit, here it is

swiftpaw :(

I will not acknowledge this name change i don’t care I’ll figure out something else to call her between now and her getting a better one because it feels wrong to use what she gets later yet but also fuck this, fuck the ablism in these books.

aww cloudpaw...

“They can’t stay hostile forever” fireheart have they ever been kind to you

apprentice time

story time!

Probably the best way he could have told that, big f for these apprentices though

Big Oof

Part of me wants to appreciate every cat acknowledging how cruel it was, what Brightpaw’s name became, but it also rubs salt in the wounds of all the elders with the abelest names.

Fuck yeah Cloudtail

if he was setting a trap why the fuck would he tell you he scented tigerstar

Thank you cinderpelt

Sandstorm and Fireheart really are either at 0 or 100 always

NOOO BRINDLEFACE :(

Fuck off Tigerstar 

Bluestar :(

I knew it was coming, I was Not expecting to cry over it this is fine, Im fine.
