If they really wanted this battle to take place they should've had graystripe be the one to suggest going through riverclan instead of fireheart and then have fireheart argue then wind up agreeing with him. it's a small change but it keeps them in character

It's ultimately a wholly unnecessary battle that adds nothing to the plot. riverclan went from being hostile towards thunderclan to being hostile towards thunderclan. sandpaw didn't need this battle to be on better terms w/ fireheart. whiteclaw can die another way if it's so important to leopardstar

My warrior cats hot take is that I always thought fireheart & co using riverclan as a shortcut after bringing windclan home was really ridiculous & OOC. it just doesn't make sense to me for fireheart to take such a casual risk after feeling the need to hide from a riverclan patrol a day earlier

I still don't think the problems with the graphic novels are bad enough to justify all the negativity I'm seeing but 4 books would've been ideal. I do think the 3 book structure will help with most of the other arcs tho

If anything I think the graphic novels (or at least for TPB) should've been 4 books each adapting 1 1/2 books rather than 3 books each adapting 2 books. that would've solved the pacing issue, allow the authors more breathing room, and make it so that they don't have to skip over so many things

There are things I wish the graphic novels included (whiteclaw's death, longtail saving fireheart, cinderpelt teaching littlecloud) but like. I don't think any of that deserves the visceral hate I've been seeing lately. if you don't like them that's fine but I dint think they deserved the hate

Jade 🕺 xe/xem/xyr @xesbianzooble.bsky.social · May 2

I understand criticizing the newer books due to ableism/sexism/etc but the worst thing the graphic novels do is just not be 100% accurate to the books which is like... yeah it's an adaptation that's what they do. no adaptation is 100% accurate that's not how adaptations work.

Why is it so popular to hate on the WC graphic novels all of a sudden this fandom doesn't know how to have fun

Tigerclaw: you suck, firepaw

Lionheart: now hold on tigerclaw, he's new here. give him a break

Tigerclaw: ravenpaw you are a pathetic excuse for an apprentice and you bring me great shame

Lionheart: ...... anyway

Jade 🕺 xe/xem/xyr @xesbianzooble.bsky.social · Apr 27

I love lionheart but the way he stands up for firepaw every time tigerclaw is mean to him yet doesn't give ravenpaw the same treatment when tigerclaw is even more cruel to him just irks me ngl

My HC is that floatshimmer had kits with a cat outside the clan and graysky decided to help her raise her kits so she wouldn't have to tell anyone. they're not mates, but floatshimmer's kits still see him as their dad

Jade 🕺 xe/xem/xyr @xesbianzooble.bsky.social · Apr 24

Interesting lore from into the wild is that graystripe says bluestar usually only mentors the kits of deputies but that literally has never happened either with her or any other leader

Jade 🕺 xe/xem/xyr @xesbianzooble.bsky.social · Apr 24

Oh I guess the fox DID get mentioned again and I just completely forgot about it lol

Jade 🕺 xe/xem/xyr @xesbianzooble.bsky.social · Apr 24

Lowkey makes me mad now nobody in thunderclan did anything about tigerclaw being so cruel to ravenpaw. he's flinging insults at his own apprentice right in front of lionheart but it's the other apprentices that stand up for him

Jade 🕺 xe/xem/xyr @xesbianzooble.bsky.social · Apr 24

"Each of us are suited for hunting in our territory, but not the others. we'd have a hard time hunting in the windclan moors" or "if we share prey with the other clans, that would leave less for our own" would've been fine explanations but no you're not allowed to question things firepaw

Jade 🕺 xe/xem/xyr @xesbianzooble.bsky.social · Apr 24

Firepaw asks why the clans can't just share prey instead of fighting all the time and neither lionheart nor tigerclaw give him an actual answer just "alliances are too much trouble" and "clan loyalty makes us strong" but nobody actually explains it to firepaw

(Photo is from the fort worth zoo) this is perfect for silly lion ocs

Jade 🕺 xe/xem/xyr @xesbianzooble.bsky.social · Apr 24

I'm re reading into the wild again which is why I'm bringing this up. I never remembered the fox tail so when I read that part I'm just like what is the point of seeing the fox why is it there

How come nobody ever talks about rusty seeing a fox the first time he goes in the woods? he sees a bushy red tail with a white tip which is clearly a fox but then graypaw appears and the fox is just never mentioned again
