By far the funniest part of this book is Yellowfang repeatedly running through the walls of the elders' camp like Perry the goddamn Platypus for no discernible reason

Hmmmmm.... thanksss for the insight Raggedstar, but why are are defending your son who murdered you to steal your crown lmao. What if Nightstar was rejected for a reason that actually made sense instead? Warrior cats is super lacking in cats who are genuinely willing to criticize Starclan and the code while still acknowledging their existence, and after reading Exile from Shadowclan, I think Nightstar would fit the role pretty well. Very interesting too. A leader who doesn't blindly follow starclan or it's rules and openly exposes it's flaws.
After seeing Brokenstar's violent reign, Nightpelt seems to be the only cat who questions why a clearly evil leader seemingly has Starclan's approval. While everyone else's questions end with Brokenstar's decisions, Nightpelt thought to question Starclan first.

Unlike nearly every character in the series, he doesn't have any problem openly and vocally disregarding the code when he thinks it's wrong. Even when others argue, it never seemed to hold him back when knew what he wanted was morally just. Sometimes the code is in the way of what's right. He knows that and it shows.
So imagine if instead.... Starclan refused to give Nightstar his lives, not because Brokestar still lived, but because they were scared of what he would do.
Even if Brokenstar was hurting the clan, for the most part he was still technically sticking to the code. His word is law. Whatever he wanted. That technically means in some way... him choosing to train kits before 6 moons could be justified in some way- according to the code. But Nightpelt? No. Even if what he was doing was right, there was no way that, within the code, he's justified to go against his leader.
Starclan was shown time and time again they can be manipulative. Betraying the cats who devote their lives to them (Ex. Leafpool) and demanding the unthinkable. (Ex. Pinestar) They use their rules to keep the living cats under their command.
So imagine, nine lives to a leader who openly criticizes their rules and choices? His influence would be long lasting and effective on his clanmates becuase his arguments are based on fact. Everyone saw Brokenstar's cruelty and how Starclan let it happen. He's right. He is right doubt them, and if they give him this level of power, everyone else will figure it out too. The code can be wrong, and so can Starclan.
What if he spread this to the other leaders? The other clans? They wouldn't hold the same power they used to. Their control would be at risk. Cats would be able to recognize when the code is holding them back and ignore it when they feel the need. Morally, the clans would improve. But for Starclan? It would be a disaster.
And so, they reject Nightstar. He cannot be leader. He's too smart for his own good.
....Wouldn't the best solution for Starclan be to let him pass away quietly?

im probably just interpreting this in a way that makes me satisfied BUT i’ll take this explanation of why nightpelt didn’t get his lives over the ‘broken just already has them’ one
Tumblr media
the idea that it’s more because of the living cat’s decision on how they chose their clan leader, followed him, and must accept that decision rather than some arbitrary well broken just has lives so suck it i guess feels better

man exile from shadowclan is so good
like i cant believe we just got a warrior cats book that is actually like. really good about disability. i want to make a whole post about nightstar, the elders, and volepaw cause all of them are handled so well it’s awesome
it also makes brokenstar’s reign a lot scarier because it feels really believable that characters in this setting would support him. it makes him feel less cartoonishly evil and more like a reflection of issues in the warrior cats society altogether (glorification of violence, the belief that strength is more important than compassion)
the thing at the end where starclan knows what brokenstar’s done but they don’t care enough to step in? terrifying. infuriating. the dramatic irony of knowing that their refusal to give nightstar his nine lives will lead to even more suffering. congrats to warrior cats for (intentionally or not) creating the most horrifying god figure in children’s literature

I'm obsessed with the little bit of relationship we see between Featherstorm and Hollyflower right here
like the internal sexism in Warriors usually has two mollies absolutely hate each other for having the 'same mate' and to see that Hollyflower doesn't hold Blizzardwing's shitty actions against Featherstorm is such a fucking relief to see
granted I'm still early into the comic but like
this makes me weirdly happy that they're kind to each other
