“I’m sick of listening to Hawkpaw run his mouth.”

“Cut him some slack,” Featherpaw replies, lowering her voice. “You know he’s just acting out because Sasha left.”

“Wow, I can’t imagine how it feels to not have a mother.”

Featherpaw shoulders him. “You know what I mean. Just don’t go too hard on him, that’s all. We both know you’re going to win anyway.”

--

A little while later Stormpaw is on his back looking up at Hawkpaw, and he has no idea how he got there. 

“Uh,” Featherpaw says, equally as confused. “Hawkpaw wins.”

--

“He cheated,” Stormpaw hisses. 

“Stormpaw, I swear I was watching the entire time. He didn’t.”

“Ready to admit that I’m better than you?” Hawkpaw asks, smug.

I love giving a character a nickname for daily use... there's what people call them normally, and then there's the longer, possibly more eldritch version that's between them and God and their bank

Firestar's Quest, but instead of Firestar thinking about how much he wants to cheat on Sandstorm with Spottedleaf, he feels tempted to cheat on her with Leafdapple instead (Maybe some projection of feelings going on there). Shenanigans ensue.

Class adjurned.

Don't get it twisted, if Firestar is capable of emotional cheating on Sandstorm for a dead ghost nun then he is also capable of doing that to Graystripe and/or any other character you want to pair him with lmao

Spitballing a concept here, what if the cats who grant leaders a life get to pilot the body after they lose each life? Perhaps that is why they are given the suffix -star. They are StarClan warriors given a second lease on life after a leader's death. Also gives the choice of who grants a life more weight and internal politicking as whichever cat is chosen has to themselves have leaderly qualities.

Found this as a restore as I opened CSP to finish my darn art school final project. So I decided I'd let myself finish it before I continued the more important thing LMAO (don't do that please don't be like me)

"Why should I celebrate RavenBarley"

Do you not see the current political climate? Queer rights are at right, queer children are scared. The fact that Warriors in this moment in history has decidedto introduce openly gay couples says a lot. In today's political climate, it means the world to young viewers to finally see representation on the pages.

While the books have clear flaws in regards to grooming, ableism, sexism, and xenophobia I think its alright to celebrate this one win.
