TW for pedophilia and grooming mention (spottedleaf’s heart or whatever it’s called)

I was 13/14 when I read spottedleafs heart and didn’t read thistleclaw and spottedpaws relationship as pedophilic or realise that spottedpaw was being groomed. I felt so guilty afterwards when watching people talk about the book. I didn’t ship it or anything I hated thistleclaw but yeah it sucks how the Erin’s portrayed it. It’s weird to think about what could’ve happened if I didn’t realise those relationships were so wrong

Tbh I don’t think the idea of Spottedleaf's Heart/thistleclaw being a groomer is that bad.

Warrior cats is a children’s book series at the end of the day and teaching kids about groomers is sadly necessary. A lot of children are going to understand a topic as serious as pedophilla if you use a story that they are already invested in to explain it. “Yeah this evil cat touches kids” sounds very weird and gross to an adult audience but (if it was done correctly) it could have been a good psa and taught a bunch of kids warning signs for predators.

A lot of WC’s fans think that it would be better if the book never got made but imo it would have been much better if the book was written well instead of just not existing.

If relationships like Onestar x Whitetail, Thornclaw x Blossomfal, Ferncloud x Dustpelt, stormtail x moonflower, and Pinestar x Leopardfoot ((and god knows what others im forgetting)) were one-off occurrances they wouldnt be so bad. But, especially after the Erin's piss poor writing/handling of the themes in Spottedleaf's heart, the decision to continue to write these kinds of relationships is UNQUESTIONABLY weird. The Erin's are no strangers to retcons. They had an unlimited amount of opprotunities to change Whitetail to a.) Not get together with Onestar b.) Not make her his apprentice or c.) Not have such a massive timeskip that we don't learn about Whitetail being Onestars apprentice and Onestar having the hots for her *in the same line* They could have done anything. The fact that they framed the relationship that way was a choice. I dont think the Erin's are trying, on purpose, to make Onestar's relalationship creepy. I don't think they are trying to make "Spottedleaf 2".

But I do think that this is reflective of the problem Wc's has had since the first series, these writers do not check their work and neither does their publishing company. Little mistakes like Greystripe claiming Mistyfoot and Stonefur as his own and Heavystep dying 3x over are funny but also exemplify this series biggest problem. Nobody on the team is paying attention to what theyre writing. Warrior Cats books seem to be written quickly and for series books they seem to be written 3 in advance. I assume this is the reason why the books are littered with so many errors and mistakes, the authors have tunnel vision and are writing the books to get to the conclusion as fast as possible without taking the time to really disect what theyre doing.

And just as the authors miss small mistakes like namedropping Mistlekit and never mentioning them again, they make big ones. I remember awhile ago an author responded to the criticism of Bramblestar being an abusive partner that she had literally no idea, and had always imagined him as being strong and noble. This is a very common theme in the Erins' response to criticism. They had no idea that Spottedleaf's heart sends the wrong message to groomed kids, they had no idea that the tribe cats were racist. They still have utterly no idea that Frecklewish going to the darkforest was wrong, and think that Onestar going to Starclan is right. They have no idea how sexist their writing is. They have no idea how abelist their writing is.

I think the writers are completely ignorant, to be honest. And honestly? After the way Vicky responded in her followup post on Spottedleaf's Heart? I dont think that they care. I dont think theyll change as long as fans still buy their books and their merch and promote their name. They dont seem to think it matters. The Erin's dont look at their biases and try to fix their writing because they dont think its important. They say they listen to criticism and change their actions but they dont. They never have. And if you are writing a book series for children, YOU CANT DO THAT!! Because kids are smart! And they will absorb the lessons you teach to them!! Can you imagine this criticism in another fandom?? How completely rancid it would be for just ONE of those kinds of plotlines to show up?? Were so desensitized to it! These books are in elementary school libraries!

As much as I love the worldbuilding of this series and its been a special interest of mine for a lot of years, i would never in my life recommend this book for children. The writers are just too irresponsible. They dont care at all.

#whitetail has been his mate for years why do ppl only care now blah blah blah #bc i dont and have never given a shit about onestar #why are ppl mad that a large amount of attention to a previously niche fact means it is now being criticized #ppl read these books when they were 11 of course they didnt realize it theb #but they know NOW and the writers have known the entire time #discourse #wc #warrior cats #onestars confession #redtails debt #spottedleafs heart #squirrelflights hope #warrior cats is garbage #11/3/23 changed wording of line that used “delusional” as an insult.

Warrior Cats Rewrites / AUs I Might Do.

Spottedleaf's Survival

Title change: The story reflects Spotted's recovery from Thistleclaw's grooming and how Spotted and Blue have to carve their way out of Thunderclan's toxic insular culture so that Spotted can be recognized as having survived a terrible thing

Changes:

Thistle gets banished

Bluestar actively prevents Spottedpaw from getting taken advantage of

Bluestar is the one to get Thistleclaw banished

Mosskit lives

Spottedleaf and Bluestar becoming leader and medicine cat isn't just out of survival, but out of passion to try and lead Thunderclan into a better future.

Emphasis on Spottedleaf having trauma and how she copes with it

Story is also used to explain how Thunderclan goes from war-mongering to the 'noble' clan

Mapleshade's Era

Title change: In this au Mapleshade doesn't lose her kits, at least not so quickly/all of them and Mapleshade becomes a much, much more influential figure.

Changes:

More emphasis on Maple's kits

I want for Patchkit to survive (might change my mind)

Mapleshade is an abusive parent/partner, neglectful to her kid's physical safety and emotionally neglectful to Appledusk while they were together and emotionally manipulative to her second mate.

Mapleshade gets a second mate after Appledusk

Appledusk gets more characterization other than the basic "chooses clan over mate"

Appledusk still isn't evil but he isn't as enthusiastic about Mapleshade having kits as he is in the actual story

Multiple POVs

Frecklewish is meaner towards Mapleshade (thank you russetfoxfur for putting evil but sympathetic Frecklewish in my head)

Perchpaw gets to be even more of a hero
