His name is Boulder which implies big but he is described as skinny but the graphic novel artists are drawing him as huge and buff. What do I believe. Also why did he get to keep his name during that time period in ShadowClan.

Super inspired/influenced by James L. Barry’s concept art of him :)

Boulder

Boulder is a big, skinny pale gray tom with a ragged left ear, a nicked right ear, and blue eyes.

"That's right. You could have killed us, but you chose not to. If that's what it means to live by your warrior code—that, and the fact you feed yourselves, and find your own shelter—then we want to be part of it."

since im writing abt him, whats up with boulder here?

YES YES YES!!!

I love this guy he is so so interesting!

I feel like EVERYONE forgets this is the guy who introduced Tigerstar to Scourge! Its so weird that Bloodclan is almost never brought up in the second arc! Like! This should have an effect on cats! There are two ex-Bloodclan cats in Shadowclan right now!

Boulder and Russetfur spent a lot of time in Bloodclan (we don't know how much, but I like to think for Red it was most of her life). It's not canon but I do like to think the two are related (in atd Red is Boulder's niece). Does Boulder have thoughts about his time in Bloodclan? What does he think about the fact that he was the one who brought Scourge into the forest? What does he think when Tigerstar dies, or when Scourge dies?

How different does Boulder think Bloodclan and the clans even are?

Also, all the ex-Bloodclan ex-rouge Shadowclan arc 1 cats change their name (Red to Russetfur, Snag(?) to Jaggedtooth, Mowgli to Nightwhisper) EXCEPT Boulder. He keeps his name.

Just like... so much potential... no one talks about. It's so so interesting...

ANYWAY enough about canon.

In AtD, Boulder is an ex-Bloodclan Shadowclan warrior. (Boulder has his own Shadowclan Story(ies) so I won't spoil that)

Life in the twolegplace was not kind. It was better than trying to make it in the woods, though surely not by much. Boulder joins Bloodclan as a young tom, like many others, desperate for community and shelter, eager to prove their worth. His sister joins him. She is soon with kits, from an unknown Bloodclan tom, though she dies giving birth. Boulder takes in his niece, Red (i have not decided if she has siblings who choose Bloodclan over family). Boulder also meets a kind kittypet, who was not afriad of the Bloodclan tom (the kittypets know of Bloddclan, know how dangerous they can be). The two fall in love. The city quickly grows hungry, of course, and Scourge makes a plan to take forest territory, though many are wary of this. The same day, Boulder finds out his mate is pregnant. This is what pushes him to take Red and leave for the woods. He fell for Tigerstar's charisma and control, so when the new leader asked for... reinforcements... Boulder took it as a chance to see Bloodclan again. He would never go against his leader after all. Boulder is loyal to Shadowclan, and when his mate dies he takes in his kits, Smokekit and Talonkit. He fell in love with Oakfur, and the two have recently become mates. Oakfur has struggled to bond with his step-sons, even when getting Talonpaw as an apprentice.

Anywayyyy I like thos guy.

HYPOCRITES THE WHOLE CLAN

[transhetanybodys]

The cats of the Twolegplace that are organized under Jay in Yellowfang's Secret and Tallstar's Revenge that (probably) later became Bloodclan are by far the most underrated non-clan group in Warrior Cats. I'm probably their biggest fan by default. I love them even though the way they're portrayed in Yellowfang's Secret is so bad and xenophobic (iirc from reading the book very recently there are at least two instances of Shadowclan cats referring to cats in this group as 'it' and one of them was by Yellowpaw, they attack the kits in the nursery, they attack Cloudpaw and nearly kill him with no clear cause, and Boulder and Russetpaw want to join Shadowclan 'because they (Shadowclan) could have chosen to kill them (in battle) but didn't' which is just... yeah not killing the equivalent of two thirteen year olds is the peak of honor I guess.) Typing this out is making me realize that my love for them mostly has to do with the fact that Yellowfang's Secret is one of the books I owned as a kid and not because they were portrayed well or anything lmao. Also I was a misandrist even then as a nine year old so I loved the super tough gang boss granny ordering everyone around. I would've been over the moon if the Sisters had become a thing when I was a kid and I'm fond of them now but Jay's group is the one I'm nostalgic for. She's the best cat in Warriors with 'jay' in their name and I'll stand by that statement.
