Brambleclaw's character would have been so much better if he was an adopted older brother to Squirrelflight (she's Squirrelstar now but I stopped reading before that happened, or before Bramblestar happened for the matter).

Like,,, Brambleclaw clearly has daddy issues up the wazoo, and because Tigerstar was so absent, it makes sense that Firestar would fill that fatherly role by default just by mentoring him, and it feels so narratively satisfying for Firestar to essentially adopt Bramblepaw and stop seeing him as just "his enemy's son". Then when Squirrelkit and Leafkit are born, it'd be really neat for him to fill a more "protective older brother" type role. Hell, his annoyance towards Squirrelpaw could easily be fixed if it was more in the tone of "annoying little sister" rather than the more uncomfortable way it feels in the New Prophecy.

The angst potential during the scene where Firestar is caught in the fox trap too,,, like, imagine being told by your biological brother to kill the man who has basically been your father since you were a kit, on orders of your supposed "real father", someone who has been completely absent from your life and never showed any real care towards you, and having to re-evaluate who you really consider family. It'd make the moment where he kills Hawkfrost so much more impactful than it already is, as if confirming that family is the people you choose, not the one you're related to. Blood of the covenant and all that.

Unsure of how all the stuff for Power of Three would be handled, I'm sure that Leafpool and Crowfeather would still get together and Leafpool would have Jaykit, Hollykit, and Lionkit, but how she would hide that,,, I mean, unless Squirrelflight is still with Ashfur? I don't think their relationship is healthy (neither Bramblestar nor Ashfur are good for Squirrelflight), but I guess it could be interesting narratively? Like, the struggle of Squirrelflight growing sick of Ashfur's misogynistic condescending and xenophobia while still feeling like she has to stay with him for the sake of not just the kits she's grown to love as her own, but also her sister...

Plus, it could be nice to have Brambleclaw have a more supportive response than he does in canon, considering in this version he also understand the value of chosen family, regardless of blood, and he'd probably just want to protect his sister in that universe, at least in my mind. Also, considering Hollyleaf really valuing the code and probably respecting Ashfur a lot, I could see him being a very negative influence on her, honestly. The details about the fire scene I'm still fuzzy on, but yeah.

maybe whitewing was, told but she wasnt able to interpret the sign because shes just a warrior "huh that star is unusually bright, oh well"

Leafpool got the 3 star sign when she was pregnant, but only 2 of her kids were magic. Meanwhile, Whitewing was told NOTHING

the only time i ever see her, is when she's behind me in the mirror. even from a distance i can hear her, i try to listen but her whispers make my ears hurt. and on dates it's never day time, when she gets playful with a steak knife. i need a break maybe i'll take five, shake it up and medicate maybe i'll take five...

I've been thinking about Icicle and Scarlet a lot lately, I think their dynamic was super interesting and that plot point is tragically overlooked by the fandom in general. Icicle is kind of a piece of shit, but honestly I don't think she entirely deserves all the hate she gets from the fandom; she was just trying to get her brother back and prove herself to her family, although she definitely could have gone about it better. I would love to get a winglets from her perspective to explore her character and intentions better.

man I love morally dark grey characters who are bitter about their situations and have conflicting intentions, they're my favorite

This time a real animation meme for you, my wof fans. Bon appétit!

what makes bluestar so compelling is how often her fairness is often turned against her. she helps drive out brokenstar from shadowclan and bring back windclan only to have them team up to attack her, she spares brokenstar's life and he teams up with tigerclaw to attack them, she continuously gives tigerclaw the benefit of the doubt and he betrays her. her devotion to her own notions of fairness and justice, notions that often contradict what clan culture says one should be, continuously blow up in her face. she was told she was going to blaze through the forest like fire and now this is all she can see.

hey wouldn't it be fucked up if the bones from darktail's drowned victims sometimes washed up on the shores of the lake or what. and of course, knowing they're the remains of shadowclan cats, shadowclan will bury them. but at each funeral everyone is tense, an unspoken question in the air who's bones are these? Does your loved one still rest in the lake, or have at least some of their bones been brought to the burial grounds?

My favorite part about Fireheart is how he pours all his hatred toward Darkstripe instead of, you know, the clear mass murder Mr. Tigerstar
