Introduction to 'Never Grew Up'
00:00:09
Speaker
This is Never Grew Up, a show where two grown-ass adults discuss their love of middle-grade fiction. I'm one your hosts, Laura. And I am Jerrica. Jerrica, how are you doing?
00:00:21
Speaker
I am doing okay. um I want to know what's going to happen with these cats.
Exploring 'Rising Storm' and Fireheart's Journey
00:00:30
Speaker
I will tell you what happened with these cats because we are talking about part two of Rising Storm, the fourth book in the first Warrior Cats arc, a.k.a. Warriors, the prophecy begins.
00:00:45
Speaker
A.k.a. a Fireheart's challenge. I don't know. Yeah, Fireheart. I mean, it's accurate. It is Fireheart's challenge. Yeah, he does seem to have challenge.
00:00:59
Speaker
Mm-hmm. So Darkstrike starts spreading it around that Cloudpaw left to be a kittypet. And soon enough, Bluestar calls Fireheart to her den to talk about it. And she's like, well, maybe he will be happier as a kittypet.
00:01:21
Speaker
So everyone agrees that maybe he'll be happier as a kittypet.
00:01:27
Speaker
I mean, everyone has their coping mechanisms. There's literally nothing any of them can do about it. so maybe Maybe he will.
00:01:39
Speaker
Yeah. you know We probably will never see him again. that old God. That is so horrible to just be like, I don't know. A two leg did this. I can't stop a two leg.
00:01:52
Speaker
but can't. Really? That's what I'm saying. Yeah, that's.
00:02:01
Speaker
Yeah. Well, that night, Fireheart has another spotted leaf dream. oh my gosh.
00:02:12
Speaker
And she tells him, beware a warrior who seems to sleep.
00:02:20
Speaker
okay Okay. That's it. That's the whole thing. Now, Jericho, what would you do with that information if you were in Fireheart's position? i don I don't know. like That seems to sleep. That that does suggests that, okay, beware of the warrior who is pretending to sleep while everyone else is sleeping so that he can pounce or whatever.
00:02:47
Speaker
i guess.
Fireheart's Concerns and Clan Decisions
00:02:50
Speaker
are you all what Fireheart also doesn't really know what to do with this, so he thinks, maybe this is about the ShadowClan cats and I gotta tell Cinderpelt to get them the fuck out of here. So he makes her make... I mean, that's a good idea, but... ah Yeah, he makes her make Little Cloud and White Throat leave.
00:03:12
Speaker
So, that dream he had about Cloud Kit, like... Attacking him. Mm-hmm.
00:03:23
Speaker
Was that supposed to be the foreshadowing of what happened to him? Because that doesn't make sense. Let me look up what that dream was because I honestly do not even remember.
00:03:36
Speaker
oh. oh It was so insignificant that it's not even on the wiki. yeah What was Fairheart's dream about Cloudpaw?
00:03:49
Speaker
I wish it would stop giving me AI overview because it doesn't know what it's talking about. hu Yeah, i don't know. Uh... of fuck who who can tell you know yeah because you'd have to have the book in order to to know I read this whole goddamn book four times I still don't know what it means okay in the conversation that Fireheart has with Cinderpelt Spottedleaf comes up again because you know he tells her about the dream and Cinderpelt is like why can't you just let go of Spottedleaf
00:04:29
Speaker
Just let her go. Just, you know, she's dead. You weren't together. And you got Sandstorm standing right in front of you and you're still dreaming about Spottedleaf. And Fireheart's like, yeah, Fireheart's like, what? I don't know what you mean. we'll forget people ah Surely you don't mean that Sandstorm has a crush on me.
00:04:54
Speaker
Except that is what she means. Yeah, of course. You big dummy. Sometimes I think it's very appropriate that Fireheart is an orange cat.
00:05:07
Speaker
Oh, yeah. Fireheart goes to check that... The ShadowClan warriors are gone, and while he does, he sees Graystripe on the other side of the border, because that's where Cinderpelt was ah hiding them, was close to the RiverClan border.
00:05:26
Speaker
And he gets updates on the kits, and he's like, oh yeah, the She-Kit is beautiful and has a nasty temper, and everyone loves her.
00:05:36
Speaker
yeah the Tom is just easygoing and happy to do whatever. They don't have names? Yeah, he doesn't give them names right now, but it's not a spoiler. Their names are Featherkit and Stormkit.
00:05:53
Speaker
It's pretty cute names. Stormkit. What's wrong with Stormkit? No, kit now that's the a girl, right? No, Featherkit is the girl.
00:06:07
Speaker
Okay. Why? Well... He just described her as as being quote a kind of like a stormy personality. And the the the boy is just chill. So like... Well, let me tell you, Jerrica. She's named Featherkit because of her long, fluffy fur resembling a feather.
00:06:32
Speaker
and i mean, that makes sense too, I guess. I know. You just hate cats being named after their physical attributes. Hey.
00:06:44
Speaker
but there was stwards Why Storm Kit? Uh, maybe he's the color of a storm, because he's gray, like Gray Stripe.
00:06:54
Speaker
The color of a storm. you yaard You don't think storms have a color? Storms are multiple things. Storms are dark and dreary and gray.
00:07:07
Speaker
Look up into the sky when a storm is going on. It's gray. Okay. ah
00:07:18
Speaker
Anyway, Fireheart starts looking at Sam Storm. Sam Storm.
00:07:27
Speaker
Don't you leave him, Sam Storm, Gamgee.
00:07:32
Speaker
Fireheart starts looking at Sandstorm in a new light and is like, oh, was Cinderpelt onto something? Do I feel anything?
00:07:43
Speaker
i mean, who else is going to be interested in him? That's true. Other than Spottedleaf.
00:07:54
Speaker
She's dead, though. Didn't she die in, like, the first chapter? ah she died near the end of the first book. Oh, did she? Okay. Yeah. She'd been dead for a while, though.
00:08:06
Speaker
Yeah. And she was a grown-ass adult when he yeah joined the clam. Yeah.
00:08:15
Speaker
yeah Mousefur and Thornpaw come limping into camp saying they've been attacked and we don't know where Running Wind is. He was in our patrol and like we lost him along the way. And so they take a patrol out and they find Running Wind laying on the ground dead with White Throat above him.
00:08:44
Speaker
Wailing that he's dead. I know that we shouldn't... I shouldn't bring this up. But, okay. When he was born, they named him Running Kit. I knew you were going to bring this up. Anyway, okay. You know what? let's let's Let's move on. So, okay. Running running Wind...
00:09:13
Speaker
Running Wind is dead, which I'm bummed about because i always liked Running Wind. He was kind of the, like, not serious jokey jokey cat, but a little bit of an asshole. Like, when they were talking about handing out apprentices, someone suggested him and Bluestar was like, i don't think I'm going to give that dude an apprentice. He just, he doesn't seem like that would fit very well.
00:09:36
Speaker
He does not have ah the seriousness for an apprentice. So he's dead and you have.
00:09:49
Speaker
White throat. A ShadowClan cat. Just right there. Presumably crying about, oh, no, he's dead. hmm.
Climactic Battle with Tigerclaw
00:10:01
Speaker
Yeah, that's called. ah Caught red handed. Yeah. Fireheart thinks so too because he runs after him and there's a chase and eventually Fireheart chases him out onto the Thunderpath Whitethroat gets hit by a fucking monster and dies right on the Thunderpath.
00:10:26
Speaker
That's probably a better fate than what was going to happen to him. Well, then, ah whitethrope is white Throat is trying to say something, but he can't speak. But he, like, looks up across to the ShadowClan side of the Thunderpath. And Fireheart follows his gaze.
00:10:45
Speaker
And fucking Tiger Claw is standing there. This motherfucker. Oh, fire heart. You know, that makes sense. That makes sense that that's where the he would go.
00:10:58
Speaker
hmm. Because ShadowClan just seems to be like.
00:11:03
Speaker
but we We're the Marauder Clan, I guess. Like. ah Fireheart just fucking launches himself at Tigerclaw. He's like, oh, hell no. I don't know what you're up to, but it's gonna stop. So they battle, and... Tigerclaw is like, I'll kill every single one of your ThunderClan cats, not just Running Wind. So...
00:11:33
Speaker
Yeah, I guess... So, Tigerclaw basically admitted he killed Running Wind. Mm-hmm. But why? Because he's gonna kill every single one the Thunderclan cats.
00:11:45
Speaker
He fucking hates them.
00:11:50
Speaker
I guess. Because it went from, oh I'm gonna rule Thunderclan I'm gonna destroy Thunderclan, essentially. Because no one came with him? Yeah. No one supported him.
00:12:01
Speaker
Yeah. Okay. Well, I get that, but also... Why didn't he get hit by a monster? There's a ah battle and Tiger Claw's warriors show up and then all of a sudden a RiverClan patrol is there. Where did Tiger Claw get warriors?
00:12:24
Speaker
of No one knows.
00:12:27
Speaker
This is a mystery.
00:12:32
Speaker
Graystripe is there and he says he heard... He heard Fireheart's yowl and convinced Stonefur, who is leading the patrol, to go help them.
00:12:43
Speaker
Since rogues are bad for everyone. So they're like, oh, the Tigerclaw's hanging out with some rogues. Now, the thing is that Bluestar is very disturbed to hear that Tigerclaw has been on her territory. And it's not being very functional right now.
00:13:04
Speaker
Yeah, she's having a hard time. Yeah, she is. Do we know why she wanted to take Fire's heart to the Moonstone? Nope. Hmm.
00:13:17
Speaker
She just said she wants to talk to StarClan, and they never got to.
00:13:24
Speaker
Hmm. But over the following days, Bluestar orders extra patrols to look for Tigerclaw. And Fireheart notes that she is looking super not great. And all of the warriors are worn out from the extra patrols. And just things are stressful and not great in ThunderClan right now.
00:13:49
Speaker
One Sandstorm, Fireheart, and Brightpaw are out hunting and Sandstorm and Fireheart are having like these cute bonding moments until Sandstorm starts lamenting about how she doesn't have an apprentice. And she's like, you know, you have one, Greystripe has one, Dispall has one. know, don't know why. Greystripe has one?
00:14:13
Speaker
Greystripe had one. okay. So she's like, you know I don't know why I don't get an apprentice. And Fireheart, being the smart, clever cat that he is, um doesn't realize that she does not realize that he's the one who chose Dustpelt as a mentor. So he starts just like trying to apologize for it. And she's like,
00:14:38
Speaker
Fuck up. It was you who chose Dustpill? Why the fuck did you? What's wrong with me? And then she's like super passive aggressive about it.
00:14:49
Speaker
And she's like, no, no, it's fine. I'm upset. It's okay. Wow, he is not doing well, is he? ah is not. Like, could he be any more dense? like No, he could not.
00:15:07
Speaker
They find Ravenpaw in the forest, though. From book one. Oh, Ravenpaw went to hang out.
00:15:19
Speaker
With barley? Mm-hmm. And now he's in the forest and he's like, hey, so a cat came to live near my territory. um He looks super miserable and he smells like Thunderclan. Do any of you know what's up with that? and so they get out of him that like, oh, it's Cloudpaw. Cloudpaw has come to live near Ravenpaw.
00:15:47
Speaker
And so... What? Okay. So Fireheart is like, oh, we gotta go save him. And sand pot or Sandstorm is like, oh, I don't i don't know. i don't know if that's a good idea. And Fireheart is having none of that. He sends Brightpaw back to camp to tell everyone that they won't be returning for a while.
00:16:12
Speaker
And then on the way to this like new place that Ravenpaw is leading them to, Fireheart tells Ravenpaw about Tigerclaw. And he's like, Tigerclaw's gone if you want to come back to camp. And Ravenpaw says, noh I'm happy with barley.
00:16:30
Speaker
I like barley. Yeah. That's nice. Mm-hmm. And... I believe it it is at this point,
Chaos of the Fire and Heartbreak
00:16:40
Speaker
this never comes up in this series, so I it i don't consider it a spoiler.
00:16:44
Speaker
In the graphic novel, i believe it's at this point that Ravenpaw tells Fireheart, oh yeah, I have a mate now, and Farley is my mate.
00:16:59
Speaker
So nice. Yeah. and this is a couple that like everyone in the fandom knew they were fucking gay. and Harper Collins was like.
00:17:12
Speaker
No, we can't have gay cats. And the authors, anytime anyone asked the authors, they would be like all coy about it and like, oh, ah I don't know. Are they? Because like, clearly they're not allowed to say, you know.
00:17:26
Speaker
Right. But they're gay. And i oh my gosh, I went on a whole rant about this on Tumblr, about how important it was for like, that's so great that kids now get to read that and it's like, oh, the little gay kid who is essentially like bullied out of his place has finally found a happy ending, you know, with Barley.
00:17:53
Speaker
ah i just, it's great. I love it. They get... The Two-Leg opens the door and Cloudpaw is able to just run out of the door. So there's no, like, daring rescue or anything. Just Cloudpaw gets out.
00:18:13
Speaker
yeah And they all flee. And... When they get back to camp, Cloudpaw is telling everyone how like, oh, these two legs stole me and, you know, we had to escape and it was this great adventure. Doesn't mention the part about how he was going into their house to to eat their food or anything.
00:18:36
Speaker
um Bluestar essentially just leaves it up to Fireheart to decide if Cloudpaw is allowed to stay. Yeah.
00:18:47
Speaker
Yeah. I like that's, she's just like, okay, yeah, you you you deal with it. You figure it out. Yeah. She's kind of mostly just like, hmm, I wonder what Mistyfoot and Stonefur are up to.
00:19:02
Speaker
So what is does does what is she doing with her day? like She's just in her done.
00:19:10
Speaker
She's just like staring at a wall.
00:19:13
Speaker
Yikes. Yeah, it's not great. Even more reason that these cats need therapists. Yeah, they really need a therapist. I would love to see a freaking counselor position in one of the books, one of the new books.
00:19:33
Speaker
The next day, Fireheart wakes up to a fire in the camp. The camp's on fire, and They're rushing to get all the cats out. you know because They gotta wake everyone up. They gotta get them out of there. And they're counting the cats and they're like, ah two of the elders and Bramble Kit are still stuck in the camp somewhere.
00:19:55
Speaker
So they gotta go back and rescue them. And Yellowfang go back. And they find the two elders and they start dragging them out. And then i after Fireheart gets one of the elders cleared, he sees that Yellowfang has been trapped but ah behind some branches that on on fire. They like like branches fall and she has no way out. um And he just loses sight of her. But then he sees ah Bramble Kit clinging to a branch over some fire and like crying out. And he's like, okay, I have to let Yellowfang take care of herself. like I have to save this kit who's about to fall into the fire.
00:20:43
Speaker
So he saves Bramble Kit and he ah He gets the elder as far as the border, but then the elder dies there. whoops.
00:20:56
Speaker
Like, you know, from smoke inhalation. Yeah, but she was an elder or they were an elder. So. Damn. I'm just saying.
00:21:07
Speaker
but They lived the whole life already. Yeah, it's true. How did a fire start randomly? Yeah.
00:21:18
Speaker
I mean, it's just a dry ass forest, I guess. Maybe. Yeah, I don't know if like lightning struck or something because it's been I mean, it's called Rising Storm. Yeah.
00:21:29
Speaker
did So did they ever describe what the camp looks like? Is it like in like a tree or is it in like a see They just say like it's in a hollow.
00:21:42
Speaker
So there's like a clearing and then there are like branches from like thorn bushes and stuff. Hmm. I've been picturing like some sort of weird, ah like a big dirt mound or so or or a rock structure in which they have.
00:21:58
Speaker
it's It's been hollowed out in each. Like that's where.
00:22:04
Speaker
Like a kind of a cave structure, I guess. I i don't know. I picture a lot of weird things, so. Uh, let's see. I'm about to read you the clan, the the description.
00:22:19
Speaker
The two legs call it White Hart Woods. Hmm. It's at the foot of a sandy ravine protected by thorn bushes.
00:22:30
Speaker
It is easy to defend and hard to attack. And that's all the description we get. Uh, is it really that hard to attack? Because it happens all the time. i mean,
00:22:44
Speaker
It's true. So the whole clan at this point is over by the RiverClan border and they're needing to flee their territory and they need to cross into the river and they come... RiverClan patrol is there led by Leopardfoot, everyone's favorite.
00:23:03
Speaker
And... She actually helps bring the Elder's body across the river. um Like, she's actually, you know, she's helping the clan out.
00:23:15
Speaker
And she brings them into the RiverClan camp. And brings them before Crookedstar. And, uh, Fireheart?
00:23:27
Speaker
Is the one who has to talk to Crooked Star because Bluestar is a little bit out of it. And all ThunderClan kind of like surrounds Bluestar are just like trying to hide what state their leader is in. Right.
00:23:47
Speaker
um But kioked star said Crooked Star says that they can say stay until it's safe to return. Brightside, Fireheart gets to meet Graystripe's kids.
00:24:00
Speaker
Yay. So there's that. So two books Graystripe and Fireheart were just happened to be around.
00:24:12
Speaker
Close to RiverClan territory and Leopardfur just or Leopardfoot. No Leopardfur. Yeah, OK. Just randomly like, yeah, we're going to have a fight because you're here. huh And then all of a sudden it's like, oh, no, no Yeah, you guys can stay while you're home until your home is safe again. It's like.
00:24:33
Speaker
Well, here's the thing. It's so weird. Well, here's the thing, Jerica. Leopardfur has this look in her eye. Like, she likes the thought of ThunderClan owing them a favor.
00:24:44
Speaker
Yeah. She's got her eyes on sunning rocks. Yeah. So, Crookedstar lets Graystripe... go with Fireheart to assess the damage in the ThunderClan camp after the fire dies down. And and shows that Crookedstar is a good guy because Fireheart suspects that he... The reason he lets Graystripe go is because he's like, you might find your dead clanmates and you're going to need your friend with you there for support.
00:25:26
Speaker
So we like Crooked Star. Remember how cool he was in Blue Star's Prophecy? No, I don't remember. Well, he was way better than Oakheart.
00:25:41
Speaker
Who we got like no personality from. um But yeah, they find one of the elders and Graystripe is going to bury him. Fireheart finds that Yellowfang has gone into the medicine den. Like, she, like, took shelter there. That's where the least of the flames were. um But she is not doing well when he finds her.
00:26:09
Speaker
And she's doing the monologuing of a who knows they're about to die. Mm-hmm.
00:26:20
Speaker
And she tells Fireheart that ah she wishes he could have been her son instead of Broken Tail. Whoa. See, i this is probably like Yellowfang. Yeah.
00:26:35
Speaker
But then, yeah, she dies. And obviously Fireheart is heartbroken.
00:26:45
Speaker
yeah
00:26:48
Speaker
Rip Yellowfang. Yeah. He goes back to the RiverClan camp and tells them about, yeah, they lost the Elder and they lost Yellowfang. Bluestar is furious.
00:27:07
Speaker
She's so pissed. She's so pissed at StarClan. And she says... StarClan said that fire would save my clan, but fire has destroyed it.
00:27:19
Speaker
They're going home tonight. They don't... Who cares if the camp is ready to be lived in? They're leaving. They're going home. Whoa.
00:27:32
Speaker
So she's going to start, like, a war on StarClan now? Like... That's not going to end well. Yeah. Like, black bitch, we'll take those we take that last life back.
00:27:44
Speaker
Right. Graystripe offers to escort them home and Bluestar like hisses at him and she's like, oh, you're not rejoining our clan. Get out of here.
00:27:56
Speaker
Because she can tell he's like really homesick and
Bluestar's Defiance and ShadowClan's New Leader
00:28:00
Speaker
he's like thinking about it and she wants to make it clear. No, you're not coming back. You made your choice, buddy. Yeah. When they get back to the ThunderClan camp, they're like looking around and everything is ruined. And obviously it's like really leaving up them all shaken. And Bluestar vows that she's never going to share her tongues with StarClan again.
00:28:21
Speaker
oh That's the reaction of all of the cats.
00:28:28
Speaker
Oh, snap. Uh-huh. That's probably not good for the, like... Mm-hmm.
00:28:39
Speaker
Are some of these cats questioning, thinking like, oh, maybe we should have let Tiger Claw do his thing? I mean, no one has said that yet. Yet.
00:28:52
Speaker
Like, currently no one has said that. Okay.
00:28:58
Speaker
Fireheart, ah there's a gathering tonight. So Fireheart asked Bluestar who she wants to bring the gathering, and she says, I don't care because I'm not going. oh good And then she just pivots and talks about her kits that she gave up and just like, why did she do that? She chose her clan over her kits and look what's happened.
00:29:22
Speaker
yeah her kits are alive because if they were in the ThunderClan camp, they may not have been. that's a valid point. um At the gathering...
00:29:36
Speaker
Fireheart leads it because he's like, ah we can't just not go to the gathering. Onewhisker introduces Fireheart to Gorsepaw, and he's like, look, here's the kit that you helped bring across the Thunderpath. This is Morningflowers' kit.
00:29:56
Speaker
And... is' It's surprising that Running Nose is leading the Shadow Clan cats in. Running Nose is the medicine cat. His name is Running Nose? Yeah.
00:30:12
Speaker
Oh my gosh. He was named that because it always looks like he has a cold. That poor That poor guy.
00:30:24
Speaker
oh and Running Nose says Nightstar is dead. And our new leader will be here shortly. Oh no. Oh no!
00:30:37
Speaker
oh No! Fireheart tells Running Nose about Yellowfang dying because in this book they say, oh because Yellowfang mentored Running Nose, which doesn't make sense because in the first book, Fireheart...
00:30:59
Speaker
cold yellow fang that running nose took over and she was like in disbelief about it so i just i don't know just plot whole stuff but um tall star goes to start the meeting he's like whatever these shadow clan cats want to be late and then someone is like oh no look our leader's here and fireheart Turns to look Darkstripe is blocking his view of the entrance and Darkstripe, he is so fucking excited. He's the happiest little cat that you could ever imagine because there comes Tigerclaw walking into the gathering as the new Shadowclad leader.
00:31:45
Speaker
And that's how the book ends. I wouldn't be surprised if Tigerclaw sort of... ah precipitated this sort of plague.
00:31:57
Speaker
i will give nothing away. Like this dude, there's nowhere where he will not go. Yeah.
00:32:08
Speaker
You will find out just how true that is eventually. There's going to have to be an epic battle between him and fire at some point. Between him and fire?
00:32:21
Speaker
Fireheart. Well, I was gonna... Okay, here's the thing. I wasn't sure if I was gonna say Fireheart or Firestar because it's obvious, like, once Bluestar loses her last life, I mean, Fireheart's gonna be in charge, right? That's how that works.
00:32:43
Speaker
I mean, he is deputy. Yeah, so...
00:32:51
Speaker
So is it is he still Tiger Claw or is he Tiger Star now? Now he's Tiger Star. Oh, my God. Hey, you freaking Shadow Clan, man. That's why I'm saying these books. So many things fucking go on with them.
00:33:14
Speaker
I feel like it's a little on the nose to name them Shadow Clan.
00:33:21
Speaker
Because like immediately I'm like, okay, well, these are the bad guys. And then it's like, well, maybe not. like No, actually, yep, no, they are. Okay. All right. Yeah, they're kind of always at the very least the the clan that is questionable.
00:33:41
Speaker
Do we ever find out how the clans got their names? Yes. Okay. In the fifth series. ch
00:33:54
Speaker
That's so long. Sure is. And now I have to go read Shattering Bonds. That doesn't sound promising. The the the fic written by Frostpup.
00:34:09
Speaker
Oh, OK. Well, it follows Ice Kit, Pale Flow Sagepaw and Otter Squeak, and I gotta go figure out what happens. Will you do that?
00:34:23
Speaker
Oh boy. What did you think of this book?
00:34:32
Speaker
There's, man.
00:34:36
Speaker
I.
00:34:41
Speaker
There's lots of excitement and drama and
00:34:49
Speaker
It's just, it's more, it's more, like, entertaining and more...
00:34:58
Speaker
fulfilling than it has any right to be. Right? ah Ah, yeah. Like...
00:35:09
Speaker
um i can picture what, blue so like, Bluestar, like, she's...
00:35:15
Speaker
sort of unraveling and fire hearts. I'll just.
00:35:23
Speaker
Out of his league, because that is that is what fire heart is always out of his league out of his depth, rather. Wowzers. Yeah. wowusers
00:35:37
Speaker
yeah We only got two books left in this series. And then we're going to have two episodes after that. what Oh, what episodes would we have after that?
00:35:51
Speaker
Well, there's a manga set in this timeline, or like in this, around this Continuity? Well, it's all in this continuity, but it's around this time. And then there Redtail's debt, which is the deputy that just died when Fireheart joined the clan.
00:36:14
Speaker
yeah i I know who Redtail is. Okay, okay. He fell off a ravine, right? That's what happened. No.
00:36:26
Speaker
was being sarcastic. You're thinking of Whiteclaw.
00:36:32
Speaker
No.
00:36:36
Speaker
The whole lie that Tigerclaw was telling. That was he would have died in a rock fall.
00:36:45
Speaker
That's what I meant.
00:36:49
Speaker
But there's also Blackfoot's reckoning. And Blackfoot is a cat that we haven't seen very much, but he's a ShadowClan cat.
00:37:00
Speaker
Of course. His name is Blackfoot.
00:37:07
Speaker
What, just because he he is he's a dark cat? I don't know, it's just... Hey, why don't you guess what color Blackfoot is?
00:37:20
Speaker
ah Probably, is it like ah some sort of form of a tuxedo where mostly white but just a Blackfoot?
00:37:31
Speaker
I don't think that's a tuxedo.
00:37:36
Speaker
but yes, he's white and he has for two black front paws. But also his ear tips are black.
00:37:48
Speaker
So he's got, he yeah, so he's he's ah very fashionable. Yeah. He is a really cute cat. And he's got a whole novella about and we're going to get into.
00:38:06
Speaker
So, yeah. o i I worry about Blue Star.
00:38:14
Speaker
Everyone worries about Blue Star. i I worry about Fireheart.
00:38:24
Speaker
I don't worry about Cloudpaw. Why not? Dude does did it to himself. Okay. Like he made choices to be just completely.
00:38:38
Speaker
ah ah
00:38:45
Speaker
What's the word? Disobedient. He loves being disobedient. Yeah. And look who they got him.
00:38:55
Speaker
i I worry that Sandstorm is going to be like, okay, yeah, this, I don't know what I was thinking. but i mean,
00:39:11
Speaker
that's valid because Sandstorm is very, yeah if things upset her, she is not going to stick around for that. Hmm.
00:39:24
Speaker
So, yeah. Any last thoughts? Um... I really despise Tigerclaw. As you should.
00:39:35
Speaker
And Darkstripe. Like, that they should have kicked that dude out! It's really funny that they just left him in there. They were like, well, I know you said you support the mutiny, but you didn't actually do it, so... oh wait. Wait.
00:39:53
Speaker
Wait. Unless, unless. Unless. Unless
Conclusion and Community Engagement
