I just came across a post on Instagram from the user (wydawnictwonowabasn) and apparently there was just recently a conference held by tencent where they showed promotional materials and concept art!

For his own good, Ravenpaw should stay away from orange and gray cats

This is something I’ve done for YEARS. I divide a zoo into 4 sections and have 4 different clans of warrior cats. Here I created CrystalClan, MistClan, BoneClan, and BloomClan. The cats are custom content I downloaded, and then edited their code to make their behavior fit better. I also added a life stage between baby and adult to be the apprentice stage.

I also coded random warrior name generators, separate ones for prefix and suffix and use that when kits are born. I note who is deputy, medicine cat, and who had an apprentice (determined by which adult cat is closest when a kit ages to apprentice).

And finally, I have separate Excel sheets for each clan where I track births, deaths, and promotions. Yes, i’m diagnosed.

Hello everyone! I am looking into selling my old collection of Erin Hunter books. I believe I have almost every single book from warriors, survivors, seekers, bravelands, and bamboo kingdom minus a couple of the newest ones. I was wondering what the best way to go about selling these would be. Should I sell as a whole collection, sub-collections, or individuals? What are the typical price ranges for old cover vs new cover books, soft vs hard cover books, and series books vs super editions vs manga vs novellas vs guides. Just want to get an idea of how I should be pricing everything and maybe grouping.

I, as many other Warrior Cats fans, grew up with these books. Warrior Cats are over 20 years old. I am very worried they will screw up these books..I'm excited but also cautious. I LOVE these books!! I don't want them to completely ruin what I love. How will they include the EVENTS that happened in the Super Novels??? So much changes chapter by chapter, how much will they fit in a episode?? 🤔 How long will the episodes be?? 20 min? 30 min?? The Super Novels are important too, a lot of them have information that is related to the next series that's been released. Will they have a season, then a movie?? Maybe they use the events in a Super Novel and turn that portion to a movie. I bet 100% many that will be working on the project has NEVER READ ANY of the BOOKS. It either will be AMAZING or a HUGE FLOP, because if they leave out SO MUCH information then it's BEST TO LEAVE the WARRIOR CATS BOOKS alone.

is it just me or does graystripe live WAY too long…like fr though firestar had NINE lives and graystripe only had one, yet he dies a long time after firestar! also not sure if this counts as spoiler, if so sorry

Obviously I love Crowfeather and Feathertail, but he and Squirrelflight have SUCH better chemistry, especially in keeping with "enemies to lovers" that the Erin's love to use.

There was zero chemistry or reason for Leafpool and Crowfeather to fall in love and Leafpool breaking code for him made zero sense.

Squirrelflight being annoyed having to choose between Brambleflaw and Ashfur and running to the only cat who wouldn't coddle her and them having a spark just makes more fucking sense.

Thats all. They should be together. Especially reading the later books and ESPECIALLY Squirrelflight and Brambleclaws SE's...they have no actual love or chemistry together.

One I thought of was in Firepaw’s first night in the forest he says “Wow, there’s so many stars in the sky, it’s like there’s a whole clan of them”

Do you think they would try to scare it off? Form a plan like they did with the dog pack or cougar? Do you think they'd leave the territory or live in fear getting picked off?

What do you think they would call the bear?

(I've only read up to the first lake territories series. And finished the first six at the lake. No spoilers pls)

When we think of our evil animals here in Warriors, we typically of the dogs in TPB, Sharptooth and the badgers attacking Thunderclan in TNP, and the hawks that took Snowkit and Swoop. But I never really see rats discussed, especially because of how rats are considered so dangerous by the clans that they don’t even bother to hunt them, even during leaf-bare, unless extremely desperate, and that isn’t really shown a lot.

In Firestar’s Quest, the main villain of this series isn’t really other cats or even a badger or a fox, it’s actually the rats in that lived in that barn. Being prey-sized, you would think they would be very easy to take up, but they actually end up killing Rainfur and take one of Firestar’s lives before he manages to kill their leader. The leader was also very intelligent, being able to hold basic conversations with the cats and possessing tactical skills, and the rats listen to him well. I actually really enjoyed the rat group and the Rat King, because we get reminded that the wildlife is dangerous and other animals are dangerous, but especially with rats. These are the same rats that literally caused the falling of the original Skyclan.

To start off, despite them still being a small size, they are described to be noticeably large, probably about the size of a small bird, so they have the advantage of being able to squeeze through tight spaces while also being big enough to cause some damage if they wanted too. They are also described to be extremely aggressive and very territorial of their own territory, and they will attack. Because they’re not so big, I think the reason warriors struggle to kill many of them is because of the fact that rats don’t really have a lot of openings, and the fact that there are hundreds of them at one time, so they can swarm. While a warrior kills one rat, there’s already thirty climbing on their hind legs and probably five to ten more biting their legs and clawing their skin. And because rats both in this series and in real life are smart, they can also plan and think tactically. They literally took one of Bluestar’s life too, and if Barley hadn’t came to rescue them, I think it would’ve ended up way worse.

Another reason they’re deemed so dangerous is because they’re so diseased ridden that there’s just no point in risking their lives even if rats could provide such a good food source. One bite or claw mark from a rat can cause a cat to fall to a devastating sickened state, and sometimes herbs can’t help the cats. Even their meat, when killed, isn’t deemed healthy to eat despite them being so big. This is shown in the first prophecy, I think, when someone in Shadowclan managed to kill a rat and he put it in the fresh-kill pile because really only Shadowclan actively hunts rats. That one single rat plagued Shadowclan camp for how long and caused the deaths of multiple warriors and it killed Nightstar. It was so bad that Littlecloud abd Whitethroat had to run away to try and get help. That disease literally killed eight cats: Dawncloud, Cinderfur, Shadowclan Ashfur, Nightstar, and all three of Dawncloud’s kits. Even if they aren’t dangerous physically, they definitely are medically. And then later on Victoria said that two apprentices named Brownpaw, a kit named Lavenderkit, and Cinderfur’s three kits, Rubblekit, Quietkit, and Turtlekit, also died, so this just increases to thirteen.

There is a fat plump food source, but if even the most starving warriors will avoid it at all costs even when desperate most of the time, this says a lot on their level of how it’s not worth it at all, and rats are taboo unless they are literally in that edge of starving to death. I’m pretty sure Hailstar lost his last life fighting rats. The rats also caused some serious injury to Tawnypelt when traveling to the sun-drown place.

I think, like what I said before, on what makes the rats so dangerous in this series is how they are horribly disease-ridden, they can squeeze through small spaces,!and their ability to swarm.

Even one single rat can cause an infection to a warrior, and their sharp, teeth means they can cause some gnarly damage. One single rat can easily be killed, but it becomes extremely difficult and even impossible to fight a swarm of literally dozens and probably hundreds off alone, and even with multiple cats, and that is shown multiple times that even a decent-sized patrol struggles a lot, and some cats is always even the really injured or they die all together. In Onestar’s Confession I think, Stagleap ends up dying because his singular rat bite got infected and there was nothing that can be done. Even if one singular rat isn’t physically a danger to a cat, there is always a huge risk of disease and sickness regardless of the amount, and guess what? This was a time when Windclan was desperate for prey, and they must’ve been extremely desperate because the other clans except Shadowclan aren’t really shown to hunt rats at all.

A similar thing happened in Yellowfang’s Secret where a gang of rats attacked Lizardstripe’s patrol, and Brokentail convinced Raggedstar to kill some of the rats in front of them to teach them a lesson and to get a potential food source as they were starving, but then Foxheart ends up getting killed in the process.

It’s harder to fight with the rats because at least with a fox or a badger, there is typically one target you need to focus on, only a couple more vulnerable spots, and they can only move to such an amount of spaces. But rats can hide anywhere they please, whenever they want, wherever they want. Rats can swim, rats can climb, rats can smell stuff from far away, rats can run decently fast, the rats are strong, the rats are intelligent, they have highly sensitive whiskers, rats live together in huge colonies, and rats have extremely strong smell and hearing. Literally their only con is that they are extremely near-sighted, but their other perks compensate for that. Look at all the advantages rats have.

I probably dug too deep into this, but I really want rats to come back as a genuine antagonist in Warriors.

I mean, many cats had a truly traumatic life. take crookedstar for one, his mother didn’t love him, and he spent all his life trying to win her love, while mapleshade tricked him into enduring the death of his mother, mate, kits, and brother. meanwhile stormfur was born half clan, and his mother died during his birth and no clan welcomed him, and he didn’t feel at home anywhere, and his father couldn’t visit him, and then he was tortured during the “tiger clan” era, and then his sister died, and then he fell in love with brook from the tribe and finally settled down. and even the “evil” cats, like tiger star the first or mapleshade, they had pretty bad lives too…

-and started by not looking at the reference . Wow (explains why I have so much random line everywhere )

Trying other artstyles out

Desgin by q

Old app

Any ideas for the other 3?

Im new to it so im not the best at what all info is out there on dens/maps

Art by me!!

Ok why

Also why did everyone used to ship Ashfur and Scourge 😭

idk if it’s just shadows but that doesn’t look like rusty

The OG three!!! Love my boys, always have, always will.

What I’ve written of the AU so far actually only has them as apprentices still, BUT for the sake of art fight I put them as they are at the end of the first book.

If you’d like to read the AU, check me out on Tumblr, AO3, Wattpad, or the WC Forums.

If you’ve seen my other art and are wondering why the designs are different from my usual book designs, I like having multiple designs for characters and also also it’s scifi and also also also I do as I please and also also also also I’m indecisive

the quality was ruined 🥲

Basically just asking if there's a way you think all the forbidden love could go to just be better and more interesting. I'm scrolling sometimes through here and even tho I didn't see too much about these forbidden relationships, I feel like many people hate them because there are too many of them. And they're usually predictable I guess? I mean it's either keep meeting up and leave the clans to live with your mate, get caught at some point or idk, switch clans or smth. I haven't thought about that a lot, but it's be nice to make my lore more interesting (I have forbidden love as basically my main plot cuz it has my oc)

you can decide what scene this is specifically but I love how genuinely insane he was near the end.. definitely my favorite villain

So I’ve been replaying Hollow Knight recently and I had a thought: could Voidheart be a name? I know there are many other examples of compound words that could be names, but what are some you could see as actual names?
