my opinions on random “a starless clan” cats as i just finished river
thunderclan
-Nightheart: the angry mommy issues man himself. love him. this is probably the closest we’ll get to a trans character in warriors. also surprised no one mentioned Bristlefrost when he failed his assessments as i remember Bristlefrost failing at least once. they could’ve made a good connection there.
-Honeyfur: pretty design i think, got salty at twigbranch once and haven’t heard from her before or since.
-Bayshine: a sweetie, good brother-ish figure for Nightheart in my opinion.
-Shellfur: never knew much of anything about him but yay he’s got a gf now. happy for him.
-Bramblestar: just step down already man. (i know he does, i can’t wait till i get to it).
-Squirrelflight: can’t wait till i get to Squirrelstar!!
-Bumblestripe: a jerk as always.
-Finchlight: a lil too over enthusiastic about the “greatness” of thunderclan. really shows how arrogant they can be tbh.
-Ivypool: wish i heard more from her.
-Fernsong: i wish we saw more of Fernsong with Ivypool. or any Fernsong at all tbh.
-Sparkpelt: i’m not really sure how to feel about her and her relationship with Nightheart. it’s definitely interesting though and something new.
-Cloudtail: him as an elder is amazing.
shadowclan
-Berryheart: Spireclaw’s relationship with her hits too close to home. all i gotta say. also (proceeds to say more anyway) totally Mother Gothel-coded, there’s a pmv of her with “Mother Knows Best” that fits so well. “i’m your mother, and i know you better than you know yourself” (226).
-Sparrowtail: i kinda like how he sorta initially was on Berryheart’s side but now he’s really uncertain about her beliefs. interesting in seeing more about this relationship.
-Spireclaw: love him!! a sweetie! wanna see more of him and Fringewhisker. also interested in the tension with him and Berryheart over this. lowkey kin him.
-Dovewing: she’s not deputy, but i see her as sort of like a clan “princess”, y’know?
-Sunbeam: relate to her a lil, also i think she has the cutest name ever. at first i thought her unrequited crush on Blazefire felt like a repeat of Bristlefrost and Stemleaf but at least Stemleaf was nice. Blazefire was straight up gaslighting her about being concerning about Lightleap “pffft she’s fine bro you’re not the clan leader” aughhh
-Blazefire: this is why you don’t do friends with benefits guys.
-Lightleap: augh she’s so terrible but i love her at the same time. i love how a protagonist’s sibling can finally be explored upon with how the previous events from the broken code affect her psychologically. doing a psychoanalysis on her hehe.
-Gullswoop: haha just a gal who loves gossip. glad a she-cat background character can actually have a personality now.
-Pouncestep: wish we heard more from her tbh. there’s shadowsight obviously and now the whole lightleap thing but we don’t know much about Pouncestep or how things have affected her. she’s just kinda.. there.
skyclan
-Leafstar: please just let her rest. i’m begging.
-Hawkwing: i want him to be leader already, i feel like he would be a good leader with all the character development he’s had in his super edition.
-Fidgetflake: his name is so cute i love him. don’t hear from him at all though really, i just like his name.
-Uhhhh that’s about all the skyclan cats we hear from.
windclan
-Hootwhisker: bro really just yeeted himself over a stream into thunderclan territory for a vole.
-Whistlepaw: she’s so sweet i love her. please Erins let Whistlepaw and Frostpaw be together. please. please. i’ll give you all my warriors plushies.
-Crouchfoot: i know absolutely nothing about him but i just thought that’s a kinda funny name.
-Songleap: what.. is a.. song ..leap..?? how do songs…. you know what, nevermind.
-Fernstripe: with her and Fringewhisker, and also Dovewing from before, i’m really noticing a trend with typically she-cats leaving their clans for toms. not sure how i feel about that.
riverclan
-Splashtail: a nefarious lil guy from what i’ve heard? very interested to see more of him, he reminds me a lot of Hawkfrost. i also have a suspicion that he faked the curled feather sign on page 215. i mean, Frostpaw went with just Splashtail and she heard someone walking around above the moonpool then finds the feather on the path. is it a fake sign did bro just pull a Hawkfrost. —or what if the sign was real but meant for Icewing, as it was a white feather, and that night Frostpaw dreamed about the feathers turning into “birds, whirling around her head like a blizzard” (219).
-Owlnose: just a silly lil guy.
-Mistystar: was arguing and literally fell and died. best death ever. rip the queen.
-Duskfur: still mad at her over Mistystar’s death tbh.
-Reedwhisker: poor man. all i gotta say.
-Havenpelt: i just like her name.
-Mothwing: if anything happens to her, Blixemi is gonna lose it.
-Icewing: haha Wings of Fire name.
-Curlfeather: such a pretty name tbh. she seemed so sweet but i heard she’s actually evil? interested to learn more in the next books. it may make sense, she seemed a little overbearing at times, maybe a cover? also Curlfeather suggesting Frostpaw goes to her den and Frostpaw immediately finding the 5-pointed dock leaf sign there (124-125) is kinda suspicious, i feel like she might’ve faked a sign.
-Jayclaw: died of “unknown causes” is a lil suspicious. right after Curlfeather mentions his death, the book says “a heartbeat later Curlfeather went on more briskly-” (18) and she changes the topic. i’m wondering if Curlfeather killed him after maybe he disagreed with her evil plans? could’ve pulled a Hollyleaf and killed him to keep him mute.
-Frostpaw: poor lil fluffy kid is traumatized, i just wanna give her a big hug.
-overall, this book was amazing and so far i might like this arc even better than the broken code, we’ll have to see
Here is Wind! I got it earlier today and I’m half way done! I love it and I’m very interested. I have some very good theories too abt what will happen to Frostpaw, Sunbeam, and Nightheart.
-my first theory. So we all know Splashtail (at the end of Thunder) claims he’s leader. What I think will happen is he gets rejected by StarClan and then exiled or murdered. Then I think Icewing will be leader because when Nightheart and Frostpaw went to the park, Bee said he had a dream that he was standing on a river of ice. (Are you catching on?) so I’m thinking that was a vision showing that Icewing is supposed to be RiverClans leader as Icestar!
I think Nightheart and Sunbeam will be in ThunderClan or whatever. I mean they got no more drama. (Other than Sunbeams parents and brother being in exile) but literally they are fine. Sunbeams in ThunderClan, Nightheart is with her, and everyone’s happy. Sooooo….unless they are gonna help Frostpaw then they are fine and there is nothing to theorize about. (Also I think they are going to have kits in Star or the ninth arc.)
I tried not to put anything from wind in this so not to spoil for anyone!
Y’all I finished reading Wind. It’s so good! Some of the parts are…….boring….but I think every book has that. Lol. I am NOT happy that I have to wait till November to read Star! I hope y’all can read it soon. Ima make some tan-art sometime soon if Wafflepaw, Bristlepaw, Graypaw, and Stempaw. And maybe Splashtail and Curlfeather.

Can we add Lightleap in this? (SunLight propaganda post)
pov myrtlebloom and finchlight steal ur girl
Trigger Warning: This whole post is basically about abuse, sorry.
I know this is very dumb and stupid, but I've got an evil Sunbeam Au. Wait! Listen please!
I think she would have the potential to become evil. Mostly her weird Mapleshade-like possessiveness of Nightheart. I want to expand on this possessivenes.
Because of her possessiveness she starts to cut Nightheart off from his family and friends, she's scared that he might leave her. Just like how Blazefire and Lightleap left her. First she asks Squrrielflight / Ivypool to go on more patrols with Nightheart, which isn't a red flag at first. But as it goes on she gets more and more overprotective of Nightheart, not wanting him to talk to other she-cats (bc of her fear that he'll leave him for another she-cat), talking over him, moving his nest away from his family's nests, etc. She really hates the idea of anyone leaving her again, she's scared of that happening.
When Nightheart leaves again she's furious, like genuinely angry, because it seems like he's abandoning her. When Nightheart comes back she yells at him, "Why did you leave?" She doesn't even let Nightheart answer before she answers her own question "You don't love me anymore do you? Is that why you left? To get away from me?" Obviously Nightheart is super apologetic about it, denying her worries. But those worries bubble up and bubble up. She hates that Nightheart is friends with Frostpaw. She hates it and sees it like Nightheart is going to leave her for Frostpaw. Like what Blazefire did.
"You can't be friends with Frostpaw anymore" she tells him, her claws unsheathed. Sunbeam's head is filled with thoughts of Nightheart running away with Frostpaw again.
Nightheart looks up at her, "Why? It's not like that Sunbeam!"
"It sure looks like it!" Sunbeam would yell.
To say the least, Sunbeam doesn't trust Nightheart anymore. She doesn't want him to leave camp without her. Nightheart constantly has to say he loves her to keep her at ease. Basically he has to walk eggshells around her. Of course, his family recognizes what's happening. They try to get him out of this relationship, but Nightheart is insistent that everything is fine. "She's just worried is all" he would say, "It's my fault anyway." It's not his fault, but Sunbeam makes it seem like it. Even if she doesn't say it directly.
Though, at the end of the day, Finchlight convinces Nightheart to end the relationship. It doesn't go well and Sunbeam runs away. Nightheart thinks she'll be back by the next day, but she's not. She's gone from Thunderclan territory. At least for now, and what she's doing is plotting.
Update on A Starless Clan: I finished Sky and can confidently say that everyone and their mother saw Nightbeam coming from the start
Also Sunbeams pov is literally just 15 or so chapters of “are the allos okay”
Also if Shadowsight and Frostpaw don’t become besties I will cry
Also I’d been hoping Blazefire was aroace and was disappointed
Also is it just me (a cis girl) or are there trans undertones in Nighthearts pov
Once I was a brilliant sea wave, reflecting the stars of the Sun. My only desire was to reach Odysseus resting on the shore, who I was in love with, I wanted to touch Him at all costs, to envelop Him with myself. I knew that when I reached Him, I would cease to exist, and yet! I knew this was my destiny, and I wanted it, because I loved Him.
Just finished A starless clan #1 CONTAINS SPOLIERS
I wanted to share my thoughts on the protags so far
Flameheart/Nightheart:
I really enjoyed his character, I thought it was really unique how he thought that he had a weight on his shoulders because he had some of the most revered cats in his bloodline and he feels like he is expected to become as great as them. I loved how he rejected the name Flameheart and made Bramblestar compromise with Nightheart, I totally ship Sunbeam and Nightheart. Also- HE IS MY SON DO NOT TOUCH HIM.
Sunbeam
We haven’t really had any mates breaking up so this was defo a unique occurrence and her relationship with Lightleap is so dynamic and just has me hooked, I feel like now that she has been told she follows the rules too much she will become much more distant and relaxed about the rules. Once again, I ship Nightheart and Sunbeam. Also a sidenote- I really love her name so bouncy!
Frostpaw
Gives us a more detailed look into medicine cat rituals, she is so pure and I have a horrible suspicion that will be ruined. It kind of already has, since Curlfeather has died so I am intrigued how her character will evolve. Also it’s kind of like salt in the wound because of Bristlefrost 😭
I really do love light and shadows. And GIFs. I want to try to create more GIFs ... but of course my first approaches failed ... because everything has to be done and redone till a certain point. The way the sunlight moves through my appartement in the course of a year is very interesting to me. And I would love to catch that somehow - here I tryed to make a photo everytime the sunbeam hits the corner for the course of about a month.
An absolute wonderfull colabaration with @eli bless their soul for the patience they had with me. The theme we chose was 🌤️🌄sunrise🌇🌅and sundown🌆🌃. The first is their colouring (and my lineart) The second one is the other way around. If you're wondering who the people are on the pictures btw it's Dan and Phil. Defenitly check out their great stuff for a laugh, a cry and general hysterics 🙏. - - - - - - - - - - #danandphil #danandphilart #drawings #collab #sunset #sunrise #sunny #sunbeam #artcollabaration #fun #rooftop https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw0NWjOF_0m/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1od2cvl9xmxn3
erins hire me as the next graphic novel artist
see i WOULD read the new series but what's the point if sunbeam and lightleap don't pull a korrasami
