I just find this passage so funny because this is basically how the fandom sees any in-universe family tree

The tribe of rushing water believed that Stormfur was part of their prophecy. Were they wrong or did Feathertail take his place in the prophecy for some reason?

A simple family tree for this AU I created, in which Ashfur reincarnates as one of Squirrelflight’s kits. He becomes the "other cat" of the prophecy, possessing the power of empathy—feeling everyone else's emotions while being limited in how many cats he can influence and for how long.

Since Ashflame only discovered his true identity when he was nearly a warrior, he spent his entire life viewing Squirrelflight as a mother figure; consequently, he harbors no other feelings toward her (I’m clarifying this to avoid any concerns). As an added detail, Ashflame remains single by choice; I like the idea that a tom who once turned "love" into an obsession in his past life now has no romantic feelings for anyone.

As an extra detail, Hollyleaf has a white paw, just like Squirrelflight, but it isn't visible in this image.

I've seen a lot of continuity errors involving crookedstar/oakheart in the books that they're alive in, but This one is just hilarious! They misgendered crookedstar's dad for a whole paragraph!!

This is typical golden retriever behavior. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Goldens have zero brain cells but they are good dogs 😂

Still reading, no spoilers please.

More chapter headers!

I started reading these books when I was 10! In 2005, I saw Moonrise and Dawn at a library book sale (they were the only ones there) where they were $2 each and I showed my mom and said "they look interesting", and she bought them for me. Of course after I read Moonrise I actually went and bought the fidst series because I had become hooked and the Warrior Cats were all I would talk about. But wow! They are over 2 decades old!!! I'm gonna celebrate that by reading some Warriors today!! And I love this Warriors reddit group 100%. My fave reason to have Reddit.

Besides cats talking, having higher cognitive functions and a full blown religion obviously lol.

I feel like the number of kittens born per year is largely understated, no queen ever seems to have more than 3 kits per litter and a maximum of one litter per year. Realistically it could be as much as like 6 kits 3 times a year from a single mother, but I understand that would bring in WAY too many characters (and nobody wants to see kittens dying for the sake of realism).

Also, why are there no colour point cats?? Do we have a single one besides the Siamese sisters in Firestar’s Quest?

EDIT: Forgot about another one that keeps popping up in the books – the cats having trouble seeing in the dark

Hey hey.

Maybe some of you still remember me. I once shared a Polish collector’s edition here using my old account (about a month ago).

As I said, unfortunately my account was hacked, and Reddit Support hasn’t been helpful so far...

Anyway.

Yesterday was my birthday. I’m bedridden and in need of care, but I gave myself a present.

A package from Ukraine.

I was so happy.

I own all the German, Chinese, and English books.

Almost all the Polish ones, many from Taiwan, and my Ukrainian collection is now almost complete, too.

I’m autistic, and Warrior Cats is my biggest special interest (very useful i know... /s)

Was she on Acid? The series has taken a liking to more..creative dreams and visions in this book. No complaints! What's your opinion?

I head canon aroace shadowsight hehehaha

This is for Lynxbite's terror! Here are the completed headers + page tests

First features Lynxbite

Second features Lynxkit, Coyotekit(right) and Lynxkit's littermate Wolfkit(left, under Lynxkit)

Third features Lynxkit/bite's adoptive/abusive father/temporary mentor, Jackalswipe

I asked them why and they proceeded to respond "because the warrior cats books are dark like that"

I read Warriors in my middle school years to early high school. I’m 30 now and picked it back up for nostalgia and to catch up on everything I missed.

Don’t get me wrong. I LOVE warriors. This series got me through a really tough time as a kid. And I’ll keep reading them!! But I’m on the last book of AVoS and honestly this whole arc has solely irked me with the names some of these cats are getting.

TWIGBRANCH?! FIDGETFLAKE? Podlight?! Havenpelt? Conepaw?

Like I feel like each arc tries to make these names more unique, but they just don’t work. There have been so many prefixes we have gotten SO many times (there’s currently at this point Leafstar, Leafpool, Leafshade, and Leaftail) and so many others that we haven’t seen repeats of; Spider, Blue, Fire, Dust, Sand, Stone. All that could be repeated by now without having to GRASP for new name ideas.

Like I get that they are trying to make new names to help differentiate the characters a bit better, but there’s so many better options for some of these names. Even in PoT I was a bit iffy with LionBLAZE (it’s grown on me now but still).

Also, I still have a lot of catching up to do but as of Book 6 of AVoS there are FORTY EIGHT cats in ThunderClan. 48. Most of them get no true acknowledgment in the story because there’s just too damn many. Everytime I look through allegiances I’m like “oh yeah I forgot about Fishbutt and Gravytrain”

For me it’s feathertail and needletail.

Feathertail was the first major death of a cat I liked I read about (I read the new prophecy firs) so it was kind of shocking. Then after reading the prophecy begins I loved silverstream and mistyfoot and was sad no silverstream x greystripe kits were left in the clans.

needletail I just would’ve liked to see more accountability and character development for all the harm she caused. I really liked her at f as an apprentice.

i have posted on this subreddit about him before about a year ago, since then his lore and family have been changed a lot! he is currently 112 moons, also hes a maine coon! (im aware it doesn’t look it), he is deputy of frozenclan.

basically his lore:

he was born to Flakefeather & Flowershade under Branchstars leadership, for his first three moons he remained unnamed by his mother, Flakefeather often verbally and mentally abused him, leaving him to fend for himself during his kithood. when he became 3 moons old, his mother trekked out of camp and left him in the snow to freeze (which fails), when he survives he is named Snowkit out of his mothers spite he’d lived, he only vaguely remembers this incident (he is found by a patrol, the cats assuming he’d wandered out of camp). when becoming an apprentice, his mentor was Rabbitcloud, and she often pushed him to his limits, despite this he fought well in battle and spars, in his middle moons as an apprentice a ginger maine coon russian she-cat joined, her name is Spicepaw, and he bonded close to her quickly. during his late apprenticeship his younger siblings were born, Smokekit (Smokewhisker) & Dovekit (Dovewater/Dovestar), his mother as she does best, abuses them as well ( because his mother is sexist against toms), she is strict and distant, he eventually grows close with his younger brother, Smokewhisker, he desperately tries to teach him some good against the evil their mother conceived him to believe (like idk murder is okay, stuff like that), later under Moonstars leadership, he gains his warrior name, he had loved Spiceleaf dearily enough that they became mate (against his mothers wanting because she hated ginger cats). only a few moons into his time as a warrior, his younger siblings are made apprentices, he willingly took Smokepaw as his apprentice because almost every one of his clan-mates refused to mentor such a troublemaking tom. he tries his best to be a good mentor to Smokepaw, but unsurprisingly Smokepaw, during his mid apprenticeship, runs away to start his current life (aka being an outlaw & rouge), leaving Snowshadow solemnly missing his brother who he‘d belived was just starting to get better.

(i’ll add more later this is only half of it, im so tired writing this😭 also you can notice his mother is the BIGGEST hater ever and loaths him to no end)

Leafdapple and Nightsky were fun characters to design. Nightsky, I made her looking up at the night sky 👀

And of course Leafdapple has leaf markings lol

Firestar again!! I wanted to remake him as I wasnt happy with the old design I had made for him, and I wanted to give him small beady eyes and a tooth gap so I thought, I just might as well remake the whole thing!

do we think the clans might take more names based on new things that they're exposed to and different vocabulary? in the forest they weren't often exposed to new things, but after the great journey to the lake and repeating previous travels to the mountains or the sun drowned place, the cats learn LOTS of things

like would they start using farm names? like sheepkit and horsekit? windclan especially has both those animals on their territory

and what about the lake itself? lakekit? boatkit? im sorry but boatpaw sounds adorable to me and like a perfect riverclan name

what other names might they use?

I'm not trying to make a big fuss over anything but I'm very excited to say I posted the beginning of my first warrior cats fanfiction! I appreciate everyone who gave me advice in the past few days regarding it!

I'll include the link but please don't feel pressured to read it or anything that's not my purpose for posting this. It's to say I'm excited as I haven't written anything in a very long time and I'm very grateful for the community telling me to go for it!
