Um I gotta reread the entire series for the next video. So it might be a while. Whoop.
Ya know, if they opened excel and listed all of the cats, clans, and appearances (both physical and when in the book) they probably wouldn’t have nearly as many problems.
Only if they used it going forward 😂
when me & my partner made a fanclan, we opened a word doc and recorded stuff like appearance, personality, relationships, etc. do the authors just?? try to keep it in their heads???
There’s an app that records most if not all of that!
You know what’s weird?
In Rising Storm fireheart and dappletail are talking about willowpelts kits, one eye HEARS them and responds.
She’s listed to be blind and deaf.
"I'm blind, not deaf" I thought she sai this but it could be another warrior or not from it at all
Shes virtually deaf (dunno if this helps butbit lists her as virtually blind and deaf in allegiances)
@@sexygirlmax2019 that’s likely Jayfeather
No shes almost death
i think this depends heavily on how far away she was, how quiet it was around them, ect. she very well could have had enough hearing for the conversation! most people who are deafblind aren't completely deaf and completely blind, but when you're already missing one of those senses it becomes all the more impactful to lose even part of the other...
not to say that the authors thought of that though, considering their track record, but it isn't impossible
I love Warriors with all my heart but god I hate it so much, the inconsistencies and the mistakes, the lack of care moving forward, odd rules creating convoluted storylines that are often reused later on, the bloody incest. I understand that Warriors wasn't meant to be what it is today when it began, but it's been 18 years, you think that at some point they would have sat down, gathered all of the info they needed, and created a reference book or document or whatever, and used that to avoid all of these things in the future, announce that the books moving forward are of a higher level of cannon and correct any previous mistakes through reference like an elder telling a story, or a kit explaining their heritage. Weirdness may still be present at first but the more time that passes you can root out all the problems. I guess I'm just sad that something so close to me has been handled in such a careless manner. For a long time the first series was all I knew, and as a Kid I could accept it flaws and all, but there are like 90 books now, not just 6, you think that somewhere along the lines they would've realized that this was a fixable problem. I hope that they do better moving forward, I hope that one day Warriors will be a well refined series, but to be honest the only feeling I have for the books now is dissapointment, even if the world still engrosses me as much as it did when I was in like 3rd grade reading Into the Wild. The fanbase can burn me at the stake for saying this, I don't care, but I think there is a problem when you acknowledge that you've made mistakes and fail to learn from them. In my genuine and honest opinion these books are not good books, and it breaks my heart because I want them to be anything but.
completely agree and youve written out this thought so well
i just wish they actually used characters with so much potential!!! all the warrior cats fan fics are sooo much more creative :(
hollyleafs power is time travel, thats why theres so many plot inconsistencies
also dovewings eyes are clearly hazel with blue eyeshine~ fite meh
I like to think that the reason why graystripe thinks mistystar and stonefur are his kits is because he’s so old and forgets that stormfur exists and feathertail used to exist. that and they’re the only other thunder/river cats that have been mentioned recently
The thought of old elder Graystripe sitting in the elder's den thinking of how proud he is that his kit is leader of RiverClan is so funny
It is a shame with just how much I love this series but yet just how unorganized it feels.
Honestly I feel like a couple other mistakes in the Warriors series should be really popular since they are SO frequent. These two in particular: 1. Blackstar being listed as having only ONE jet black forepaw, and 2. Foxheart being called a tom and being called Foxhear in the allegiances of the old version of Bluestar's Prophecy.
I found some other mistakes on my own in the Warriors books that haven't been listed on the Wiki such as: Icecloud not being listed in the allegiances of Dovewing's Silence despite the fact that she was alive during the entire novella, Graystripe being listed as the deputy of ThunderClan in Leafpool's Wish even though he had been MIA in ThunderClan ever since Dawn, Harrybrook being spelled in small letters in the allegiances of Tawnypelt's Clan, and SkyClan's Clan symbol being listed on the map of the newly released edition of Bramblestar's Storm despite them not traveling to reunite with the other clans at the lake yet.
Yeah my list is definitely not comprehensive; it's absolutely wild I've been rereading the series and I keep. Finding. Stuff. It's crazy how many there are
Ravepaw will forever be my favorite typo in the series.
Farther into the video...omg, I never read Redtail's Debt, that is a MASSIVE oversight!
One of the mistakes that really had me go "Wow. How did you get that! wrong?", is when, during one of the Powers of Three books, Firestar is said to have yellow/amber eyes. Firestar. The original main character. The! character with the most importance in the whole series. The cat the plot focuses on constantly throughout each arc. The cat that had a very important/respectable role that made it so that he couldn't become like a regular background character in the books where his kids/grandkids takes the front stage. And they forgot that he has green eyes.
I remember reading an old version of one of the PO3 books at my libary and saw they wrote Firestar as Firestorm, I was so happy to see it!
I've sort of made my own version of the battle for sunningrocks in Redtail's Dept, but I haven't actually written it down. Redtail strikes oakhearts throat, but not hard enough to kill him, and knocks him back. Then, Oakheart almost pounces on redtail, but right before that the rocks fall on him and he dies.
I still remember the time I was reading Bramblestar's Storm, and Graystripe refered to Mistystar as his *daughter.*
Wot?
YES MORE WARRIOR CATS
Hello Dunkin :D
I had to smile when you admitted discomfort in front of a camera. I am the same way!
I find myself sometimes wishing that I could have read these books as a child, but they weren't written then, so oh well. I still really enjoy them on the whole. I do notice that there are some books that I am uncomfortable reading a second time. When I read a book for the first time, I go through it pretty fast. Then I will read it again which allows me to focus on detail rather than where it is going. After that, I will reread just for pleasure. I must admit that what fur color, pattern, or eye color has been unimportant in the overall scheme of things to me. I count on people like you to find these flaws. Thank you!
I thought I was going crazy when I read Graystripe’s line in Bramblestar’s Storm! I hadn’t read the main books and thought that I was just mistaken.
RowanClaw’s gender was also a weird moment for me. Thought that RowanClaw and TawnyPelt were GalPals until I paid a little bit more attention and read that RowanClaw was a he, but the weirdest part about this was that I just made up the idea that RowanClaw was always a he and that the she-cat RowanClaw was RowanClaw’s GRANDMOTHER and that he was just named after her. I have NO idea where I got that from!
jesus I love the voices for the authors and characters so much
I just don’t accept their excuses for messing up characters
It’s your book series
How hard is it to keep a concise record somewhere and keep track of which cats you’re using for a specific book?
I vaguely remember in the second or third series there's a scene of sandstorm and firestar sharing tongues and they say 'firestorm and sandstorm'
That’s in the first book of arc three :p
I also noticed in (I think it was secrets of the clans?) Squirrelflight’s guide to a warriors vigil is set in the forest camp, when she was made a warrior after the great journey.
and also adding to that, she didn't even have a vigil because there wasn't a camp yet, and she was put on the journey to FIND camps and territories as a replacement
Watching these videos make me realize how many problems Pantsers can have if they're not careful
This also happened in survivors, spring falls into the endless lake, dying but then in later later book she is ordered during a fight with a pack of foxes
Lol just binge watch all these videos so far and it's great. Good work ❤️ I liked your tone in the last few videos. You're funny and this is great.
I laughed when I saw "NOT YOU" over the terf Erin.
BABE WAKE UP! NEW GRACIE FITZPETER WARRIOR CATS VIDEO DROPPED
Just check Leopardstar's Honour's allegiances. You'll see a mistake in every single Clan
For example Grasswhisker is alive even though her mother Sunfish was a kit becoming an apprentice. Patchpelt appears two times. Boukder is listed even though Russetfur isn't. Whitestorm is listed twice, once as a warrior, once as Snowfur's kit, though his father Thistleclaw is still an apprentice. He shouldn't be born, yet even being a warrior. Shrewclaw in WindClan was alive while Deadpaw was Talltail's apprentice, despite having died in Tallstar's Revenge before Talltail even got Deadpaw as an apprentice.
So, I write a ton of warriors fanfics...well, I guess they're fan stories, since I turn my own characters into cats, or turn existing characters like the members of Team Star from the new Pokémon games into cats.
But if I write anything warriors, I set up a separate Word document with their descriptions on it, and have it pulled up so that when I describe cats, I don't make as many mistakes as what's in the Canon stories.
I also have a favorite cat pelt, because I've wanted one since reading about Feathertail, and even stole her name and coat pattern to use in my stories (my Feathertail is a tom who winds up nearly becoming leader of WindClan). I never got my blue-eyed silver tabby, but if I ever find one, you can bet its name will be Feathertail. XD
Anyway, separate documents, Erins. It's that simple.
Ivypool: Uhmm.....Dovewing whats wrong with your eyes?
Dpvewing: Huh nothings wrong!
Ivypool...okay....
Bruh. The fact that Graystripe said Mistystar’s his kit? Bluestar dying hurt much?
Ah yes, Smokepaw and Heavystep:
StarClan: “You guys seriously have to die. You lived too long.”
These dudes: “I don’t want to.”
My favorite mistake will always be Smokepaw falling down a cliff during the great journey, left for dead in the mountains and then just reapears as a warrior named Smokefoot.
Oh and also Heavystep is immortal. You can't change my mind.
This video makes me feel like gordon ramsay but for writing. Like you point out something painfully obvious like "this cat died, but they kept listing him and then he had to die a second time" and then i put my face in my hands and groan-
In Squirrelflights Hope I can't believe it said in the prologue: Leafpool mewed (or smth like that) when their legit apprentices!
I wonder if the rowenclaw she/he issue came because there was a female rowanberry in Yellowfang's Secret. Then after came rowanclaw, then they merged the cats?
Ik this video is old, but I must say this cause it was curious when I found out years ago 😅
In Spanish, Cinderpaw's name is Carbonilla, and she never gets a medicine cat's name, she stays as Carbonilla forever
Fun fact: Vicky chose Rowanclaw to be Tawnypelt's mate because she felt bad for constantly getting his gender wrong.
Shakespeare may have been referring to a water clock even though they don’t strike… maybe?
Omg thank you so much for making more content! Also I have a business inquiry about having you do a video about a series of books and what you might want to charge for that?
I appreciate the offer, I'm absolutely flattered you'd be willing to pay money for these, but I just don't feel comfortable doing something like that right now. My schedule's extremely inconsistent, it'd probably take like a year to get out. But thank you!
@@GracieFitzpeter Of course! Thank you for the response. Your work is amazing and you're hilarious.
Is is my headcanon that dovewing has another power where her eyes change colour depending on her mood or smtn
For the eye color did anyone else think of bo burnhams song repeat stuff? “I love your eyes and their bluish brownish greenish color”
Here's a mistake I found in warriors sign of the moon.
This is when Jayfeather is in the past and known as Jay's Wing
On page 258, Stone Song says "So the eagle let JAYFEATHER go, and flew off"
In this time no one knew that Jay's wing was really just Jayfeather,
I remember something weird with Berrypaw losing his tail. I remember the medicine cat "snapping" off the dead tail end and going outside in the night and burying it. I don't think this scene ever existed or maybe in a special edition but I can't find it now. If anyone knows if it's in the books please tell me where.
I believe if any book that’d be in Sunset, maybe try looking there?
as someone who's been rereading the books recently, i remember this. i think it's book 5 or 6 of the second arc
(edit: first page of chapter 9, sunset)
"...Leafpool had stayed awake to keep watch over (Berrykit.) After doing her best with cobwebs and a poultice of marigold, she had been forced to admit defeat in her efforts to save the whole of his mangled tail. That afternoon, she had bitten through the last couple of tendons that held the end in place. (...) Leafpool had given the end of his tail to Brightheart to bury outside the camp."
at this point, i believe brightheart was helping leafpool in the medicine den because cinderpelt had recently died? i'm not certain
Ya know how Ashfir became Bramblestar? Maybe Tigersatr can become Firestar too :D
Tigerstars sprit is dead
ANOTHA ONE
heavystep: dies...aYIPPE I AM ALIVE...dies
New headcanon acquired!
Mosskit is a gender fluid/queer child.
Grewpaw needs to be his own character😂
UNDERRATED SOMEONE FINALLY NOTICED POUNCEPAW'S GENDER CHANGE
trans rights tho :)))
ok but I just LOVE ur reactions. could u talk about bramblestar and squirrelflight's situation and how the erins excuse that as well? i love reading the book series, but sometimes the erins excuse their work way too much seriously smh
I understand how it is not liking to be in front of camera. I just wanted to state I’m actually new to warrior cats (even tho I’m 20) and I wanted an opinion. Is it worth reading even after looking over at all of the mistakes? I think the concept is cool and I love LOVE cats. I’m just worried the mistakes will be too common
Some arcs are better than others, I recently got back into it. Don't expect Shakespeare, it is still a book for children
help i finished the last hope and i don’t know what to read next, do i read dovewings silence, the sun trail, or the apprentices quest?-
Dovewing's Silence. It is the book that comes right after The Last Hope.
harry potter's eyes changed bc the actor's eyes got irritated when wearing the contacts
Reminder to myself: 8:35
Umm....Pinestar is about 8 years older then Leopardfoot, i think?
You deserve a fuck ton more subscribers
Just wondering, where did you get the PDFs? Bc online has them for free but Im skeptical abt the safety
there is this a website that's called warrior's weebly, although it doesn't have all the books, the ones they do have are safe
27:58 richblackguy who, what, when, where, how
You remind me of my friend Charlotte
Just finished the last warriors cats video lol
do you have a link to that Warrior Cats Pics? or did it go offline?
32:37
As a Harry Potter fan (fuck the author btw), I never understood the complaint since the actual reason why that Daniel Radcliffe (who is the actor who played Harry Potter in the movies) have blue eyes (which is his natural eye color I think) instead of green was because that he did try to wear colored contacts to make his eyes looked green like in the books but unfortunately from my understanding that he reacted poorly so the only thing they could of done was find an actress who had similar eye colors to play his mom in the movie. (Which is Geraldine Somerville who played Lily Potter)
Is Heavystep dead or not?
I personally don't get to upset by the inconsistencies honestly. Warriors has an entire team of people working on these books, along with so many characters and storylines, it's no surprise things get mixed up. Warriors biggest problem is that it spawned a huge Fandom, which has many older individuals in it, that can easily point out the flaws with everything. The Erin's wrote these books for children to read about kitty cats in the woods, not for teenagers and adults to create an entire community dedicated to all things warriors.
A simple spreadsheet or document is all that is needed to keep character appearances, deaths, family relations, genders, plot points, etc. in check. And another read through the books before publishing would’ve gotten rid of the more minor grammatical errors. Children notice these mistakes too. The fandom pointing these things out is not a problem at all. It natural for fans to notice mistakes like this, young and old. It’s pretty sad tbh that a franchise this huge can’t even keep track of its own canon when it has a huge team of people working on it. Do they not communicate?
@@Moony1568 iam certain they communicate, I think there's an entire team who works on the series, and with a series this big, they really don't have a choice.
@@TheAshfurApologist have you read Leopardstar Honor which is fairly recent? A main portion of this book directly contradicts the events occurring in the first book series.
That is either laziness or poor quality of their craft, not oh we have multiple writers. It is about them NOT communicating when they should.
@@s7e6p19 yeah, but these are fantasy cat books, not Shakespeare, we should probably just enjoy them for what they are. And let's be honest, the first arc is all about fireheart/firestar, as long as they didn't mess him up in leopardstar's honor, it's ok.
@@TheAshfurApologist they did basically cause the newer one directly contradicted a main story point. This is why doing quality work even on a fiction book is important. Otherwise don't make it a series - if want to write fully separate books then say so.
Lol I have BAD allergies
15:12 Rowanclaw is cannily trans
real
I think it's Squilf in the cover of Midnight...
Um… no. It’s Brambleclaw. Squilf isn’t a brown tabby
Cool
Is this the last video?
No I have at least four more planned! The next ones a monster though it's gonna take me a while it get it out
@@GracieFitzpeter take your time i’m really enjoying this series of yours(even though I’ve never read warrior cats I’ll probably by the first box set soon because I’m interested in reading it now )
@@dustfinger5312 yes read it
join us in hell
SInce you love the side crap, I use this to order my personal preference in reading the books AND the supplemental stuff.
docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-K37MGYJWcTIEKpGmsE9RLELRrX5D-GXxQvaoHK6q9U/edit?usp=sharing
I keep it upto date and all.
Oh wow. That is IMPRESSIVE
@@GracieFitzpeter Thx! The checks on the side are for me rn but feel free to make copy to check what you've read.
I'm actually using it to re-read the series for the 4th time.
First time I only read the main books and three Super Editions. 2nd and 3rd time I read all the main books and super editions. Now I'm reading everything. Going well so far.
Mosskit uses all pronouns
Its annoying how every cat that is important must have blue
