This really shows on what their relationship was like before and after Onewhisker became Onestar. I really dislike on how cold he became after earning his 9 lives. Especially considering on how fast he broke his and Fire's friendship as well as the close ties between ThunderClan and WindClan, which is mainly why Tallstar made him deputy last minute. I really liked Fireheart and Onewhisker's friendship
I hate how Onewhiskers character was butchered because that ended up wasting Mudclaws arc as well. This meant that Onestars decision was a bad one in the long run cause he chose Onewhisker over Mudclaw purely to KEEP their connection with Thunderclan.
@@RosieNoa-co6lw yeah, I genuinely believe Tallstar did have good intentions, but what he wanted didn't go as planned. It's just upsetting seeing how he changed so quickly.
@@RosieNoa-co6lw Tbh while I'm sad Onewhisker changed so much for the worse a part of me feels content with the fact. We got an interesting character out of it and personally I feel like his changes make sense in a realistic way. Being in charge of your whole society (more like a pseudo-cult) is a lot of pressure. He was put into power right after an attempt at mutiny and civil war, he was seen as a puppet, a weak leader and a fraud by many. Clan leaders are also the main key of their clans too, these cats CANNOT at this point in time handle anything or move on without a leader. Warrior cat's hierarchy forced these leaders to be absolute and necessary for even a clan existing proper. I understand why he would become bitter after ascending to power. Nevertheless it's just my personal taste in characters, cause even if he was infuriating and obnoxious at least he was more entertaining than Bluestar 2.0 or Bramble-Firestar wanna-be.
If I recall, "Cats of the Clans" actually touches on why this happened - when Onewhisker became Onestar, not only did he not have the support of his many because of his last-minute and suspicious appointment, but he also had to prove to his clan that he was loyal to them, and not to Firestar - plenty of them referred to him as "Firestar's kittypet," according to the book, and so he had to give up his friendship with Firestar in order to prove to his clan that he was *their* leader. It's very sad, and it's unfortunate that they couldn't really address it in the mainline series, seeing as Firestar wasn't the focus character anymore. It would have been nice if there had at least been a small little scene where they spoke at a gathering or something.
The most ironic part of this was that the sole reason he was named deputy at the last minute was BECAUSE he was compassionate and kind; Tallstar wanted his successor to be friendly and open, not cold and vicious like Mudclaw. I always thought it was sad that Onestar was too paranoid by fear of rejection to realize that.
I LOVE ONESTAR AND FIRESTAR CONTENT!!! They have probably the most realistic relationship within the entire series. It's like becoming best friends with someone until you go to high school, where you grew apart from your best friend as your friend is trying to 'fit in' with other people, possibly slowly becoming a bully themselves. It reminds me a lot of that. I always wish for a scene where Onestar faced the people he had hurt in Starclan, especially towards Firestar, now since he no longer have to wear a mask for his clan-mates.
Hey I might be remembering wrong, but in Onestar’s Confession, the manga at the end, I’m pretty sure they meet and they just….accept it. (i think One feels a wee bit remorseful. But not a lot) U might wanna check up on that tho!
@@FlashSong890-wh1efyeah that’s true. i have the book. the plot of the manga at the end is: onestar sees firestar in starclan, he’s starting to feel the regret of turning his back on firestar and thunder clan. The two cats talk about Onestars life. They agree that he tried covering up mistakes with lies. Onestar starts saying he will do better in starclan, but firestar reminds him of all the good he did during his life (like helping defeat blood clan, keeping Tallstar alive during the great journey, helping thunder clan during the battle against the badgers, etc.) The two cats head to the Moonpool, where Harestar is receiving his nine lives. Onestar reflects. He understands that in his life he failed to be honest, so he lied to cover up mistakes. When it’s his turn to give Harespring his life, he gives him the gift of Honesty. Onestar says to Harestar: “Always speak the truth, so that you never fear any question asked of you. I hail you by your new name, Harestar. Your old life is no more. You have received the nine lives of a leader, and Starclan grants you the Guardianship of Windclan. Defend it well - care for young and old - honour your ancestors and the traditions of the warrior code. Live each life with Pride and Dignity, and remember… always put your clan first.”
Honestly, I was so upset on how one star changed to some overly, prideful leader with cocky ambitions. Ignoring the friendship with firestar. The friendship that he always kept, always reminding firestar that he is still thankful . Even when the rest of windclan were against him. “I didn’t forget what you did for us.” Turned into “You can never stay out of other clans! Prey stealers!” And so on..
I was confused about this too until I saw another commenter explaining it; it wasn't touched in in the mainline books, but in Onestar's spinoff story it shows us that Onestar's reputation was actually very rocky after his appointment. The clan regarded his sudden appointment as deputy by Tallstar as suspicious, and they questioned his loyalty to his own clan. They would accuse him of being more loyal to Firestar than Windclan, and called him 'Firestar's kittypet' which I imagine is like calling him Firestar's bitch. So he had to pull back and become distant/break the friendship as a show of loyalty to his clan, and even spoke out against him to further prove that. I wonder if internally Onestar was as upset about having to give that up...
I cried when I read that Onestar didn't help Firestar after everything Firestar had done for him. Like jeez yall had a great friendship! I get that once he got leadership over his clan he needed to show them he didnt need help but he didn't have to do that.
I remember wanting a super edition about Onestar that went into his friendship with Firestar, how he felt when he cut his friend off, and how he reacted to Firestar's death. I have since though better of it, but their friendship was one of the few details that stood out for me in the entire series
Onewhisker used to be my favourite character. He was so friendly to Firestar and I loved his personality, but one he became leader I hated him. Tallstar made him leader to prevent war with the clans, but instead Onestar ran around refusing to keep up the old alliance with Thunder Clan and in general being horrible. Really unfortunate how that happened
@@WCMorningWatcher yeah because 1. I didn’t want to spend more money on WC books and 2. I tried to start reading Dawn of the Clans but found it so boring that I couldn’t do it
This is one thing that has always bothered me about the books, the second Onewhisker became Onestar the friendship was over They had such a good dynamic going for each other
Nooo. I just read the scene after Tallstar’s death, they got along so well and Onewhisker was so precious. I’m scared to keep reading because I know people don’t like him.
@@Queen_meps Onestar becomes worse though Spoilers! It was really rude of him to launch the attack on Thunderclan for no reason, when Winclan HAD stole the prey they were arguing about
Their relationship falling is so tragic but it’s pretty well written in my opinion, it makes sense that Onestar became cold towards Firestar once he had the responsibility of being a leader pushed into him, he needed to show Windclan (after a big part of his clan, whom he was in good terms before all this mess, just staged a coup against him that could have resulted in his death) that he didn’t rely on Thunderclan and it leader, it goes against Tallstar wishes I know, but warrior society at its core is way to aggressive by nature for good clan relationships to exist in times of peace.
Also, at this point , he had that relationship with a kitty pet and had kits, I feel like Tallstar suddenly trying to make him leader when he had never come clean and buried his secret when they left for the lake, probably freaked him out. Imagine having to face starclan and lead your clan when you know you’re a liar and what you did. I feel like onestar’s characterization was so interesting!
I left another comment but the short version of that comment - Cats of the Clans actually addresses this. Onestar was mistrusted by his clanmates and even referred to by them as "Firestar's kittypet," and so he made the choice to cut that tie to prove himself to Windclan. It's unfortunate that the main series never gets to address this or even have Firestar mention that might be the case.
I don't really think it was for the worst. It may just be my habit of liking antagonistic characters, but Onestar was turned cold so that readers could feel what our characters did. It makes the books seem more real
Honestly the fact the voice-lines are coming from the Banshee of Inisherin are making even more sense with the two of them. A very good movie with a sort-of similar theme, it just fits very well with the idea of two cats being friends as simple warriors but becoming ennemies as leaders.
I think Onestar's character was actually written beautifully, he didn't have the support of many of his clanmates but he really was built up as this underdog driven some kind of mad, betraying Firestar at many pivotal moments. When he was a warrior he was friendly with Firestar and supported him. But as he grew, he grew more distant to the orange tom, maybe it'll never be truly discovered as to why he became the way he did but I quite enjoyed it, written really well.
The fact that your gave Firestar eyelashes makes me want to drop everything and find the real life equivalent of Firestar so I can give him fake eyelashes
“You liked me yesterday.” 😭 just broke me in half. I felt like saying that when most of my friends became close with someone else during high school. Firestar tried to have his friend back, Onestar was only trying to make it right for his clan. But fixed it in the end in the manga.💛
I honestly love their dynamic I do wish Onestar wasn’t as cold but it added some spice 😭 Also everyone should remember Onestar wasn’t all bad during his reign he did help Thunderclan a few times (badger attack for example)
For the whole 'The prochecys begin' series, Onewhisker and Fireheart were the best of friends when Fireheart and Graystripe were bringing back Windclan. Now Onestar's greed for pride has tooken over that friendship, and yet Firestar still remembers it.
This is why I always say that Mudclaw would’ve made a better leader. Yes,he was super ambitious. Yes,he probably had a chance of causing a large war. But,Onestar was also wanting to become leader(not as bad as Mudclaw though). Onestar also caused multiple fights over borders. Honestly Mudclaw had every right to be jealous of Onestar. Imagine working so hard in a competition,almost getting first place then someone who hardly tried but had all the same ambitions as you won because they were friends with the judges kid. Thanks for reading my rant.
I’ve always found it fascinating and heart breaking how ShadowClan and WindClan basically switched roles in their allyship to ThunderClan, it used to be ‘don’t go near ShadowClan they eat kits for breakfast’ until, they ended up at the Lake and suddenly WindClan became the ruthless killers :/
I especially loved it because at the one hand, Onestar had too end the friendship because of his clan but on the other he probably didn’t want to. It would have probably stayed(their friendship)if Tallstar wouldn’t have chosen him as the leader…AHHHHH WARRIOR CATS WHY ARE YOU SO ANGSTYYYYYY?!!!
First off, I love the starclans chosen design. Second THIS IS SO PERFECT FOR FIRESTAR AND ONESTAR!! I GOT SO MAD WHEN ONEWHISKER BECAME ONESTAR AND WAS THEN A JERK!!!!
God I love these two so much, Onestar is genuinely one of my favorite characters because of how realistic he is. He was thrown into a position of power pretty much against his will, and had to deal with the fact that some of his clanmates wanted him dead because of it. Then Firestar/ThunderClan is constantly in everyone’s business, which obv would make Onestar feel like he isn’t good enough if he can’t even solve his own clan’s problems. He’s beyond stressed out, and that causes hatred, which strained his relationship between him and Firestar until it just snapped one day. It’s honestly the perfect way his character could’ve gone.
This really remind of the Fox and the Hound situation, especially after reading Cats of the Clans. They formed a strong friendship but that friendship was immediately broken by society. Windclan didn't see Onestar as their leader and teased him for being friends with Firestar so he broke the friendship to prove he was their leader and not a 'kittypet'
He actually lost 2 of his lives saving him. Once was in the darkest hour like you mentioned, the other time was in dawn when they were evacuating shadowclan from their camp while monsters were attacking. A tree was falling and about to hit onewhisker but firestar pushes him out of the way and gets hit instead
I love this PMV, i also used to appreciate their friendship, it was endearing really…but when he became leader…Onestar completely changed, this PMV makes me wanna cry ngl :( (beautiful work !)
I cannot explain how well fitting this is for these two. And it makes me kinda sad.. I felt so sorry for Firestar, when he had to realise that the old Onestar is gone and with him their friendship ;-;
Just want to remind people and the author that this weird CHANGE still didn't get a proper explanation, their relationship is so underrated in the fandom.
@@Beintingnaur bc I remember vividly loving Onestar/wisker and then when flipped I thought it was gonna for like a book or two but then it was permanent 😭
Gotta say it kills me realizing this. That Tallstar’s dying wish was a complete waist of time, damaged his clan, pushed a kind character to become callous, and literally lead to probably a worse future than if Mudclaw had become leader, so Mudclaw’s death was literally purposeless. He wasn’t EVIL. Just same minded to Leopardstar, who eventually mellowed out. (I’ve only recently read up to book 4 of The Power of 3) I mean seriously Onestar lead his clan into Thunderclan camp to assault them/try & force them out like brokenstar did. Knowing that Thunderclan would WILLINGLY help them at any time, but decides that’s a bad thing. Insulted his old best friend & his entire clan/kindness. And makes the forest a 4 clan war zone all night long. Purely cus he’s trying to be more like the other clans want him to be. Tough, spiteful, zenophobic, unthankful.
I feel like the frames where their mouths are closed are meant to imply that the words are in their thoughts, but I personally really like that it could also imply that they’re communicating more through different animal behavior like body language or small cat noises, if that makes sense? Idk, cats communicate in different ways than vocal sounds and I just find the fact that you can interpret that in this video very charming ❤ I love the designs as well, and expressions, overall wonderful job :3
This is so sad. Fireheart and Onewhisker had such a good friendship. But then its like after he got those 9 lives he completely forgot about their friendship.
Honestly it was one of the saddest friendship dynamics, and i hate how they never truly adressed this in canon. Not exploring onestars change in the books was one of the biggest missed potentials for a truly deep background character.
I always hated how the Erins made Onestar so cold and rude to Firestar when he became leader. I personally feel like it totally goes against Onestar's personality when he was a warrior. They were so close, him and Fire. It makes no sense that he would become so callous towards ThunderClan. I miss their friendship :(
really like how onestar is framed/posed in this, big fan of the shot where hes like “did i yeah?” but hes not even bothering to fully face firestar, makes the line hit harder
oooo this was super well done! To me, Firestar and Onestar's relationship was tumultuous. I think that Onestar secretly doubted himself leading his clan and constantly compared himself to Firestar, leading Onestar to hate Firestar. The pressure of being a Clan Leader, responsible for your friends and familys safety could've made him change...
"or did you never used to be.. .. oh god.. maybe you never used to be" Really hit me. Its when firestar realized maybe onestar was pretending to be nice for his own gain. Honestly a interesting concept. In the books its only barely explored as to why all of a sudden he needed to prove his loyalties so fiercely. Ofc he needed to show his clan they came first, not Thunderclan, but what if onewhisker really did use firehearts respect in his favor, and once he didnt nead it anymore he gave up the act. Just like with his kittypet mate he used his status and sweet-talk to his advantage to get on good terms with the clan that saved them, but as soon as he was in charge, onestar dropped firestar like a piece of soggy freshkill so he wouldnt have to deal with it anymore
How about I start SCREAMING AND CRYING. Your art is lovely, this gives their relationship the depth and impact it had on me when I first read Warriors all those years ago. Your designs, lineart, expressions, and the little lineart wobble are all lovely.
Series 4 book 5 chapter 136, when graystripe says “Do you remember when you were fire stars friends, back in the old forest? How can we have come so far from that time? We don’t need to become enemies.” And one star said that he makes it impossible to be anything else, broke my heart. I hate one star now that he’s leader.
It’s sad how they care about each other less (well onestar cares less for him) onestar didn’t like when thunder clan always visits neither did the other windclan warriors 😔
This is why I hate onestar, I get he wanted to be a good leader and stuff, but The way he went about it was unforgivable, he was a selfish jerk for really no sensible reason, reminds me of clear sky (who I also hate)
This is my favorite use of this audio clip. The art also adds a lot to it~ ♡ From his background, I can imagine Firestar never had to deal with this as a kittypet. Everyone was a friend, and fences were merely walkways, not borders. Do I think the author and writers thought or planned this? No, not really.
Stop making me cry 😭😭😭 I loved Firestar and one whiskers friendship is series one but then when one star became leader and it all changed it made me so sad! I love your Firestar design so much btw!!!
I cried and I don't even read warrior catsi only read the first book why is this sdo sad and the last sentence " I thought you did.." It littrly is sdo sad awesome art btw

I especially loved it because at the one hand, Onestar had too end the friendship because of his clan but on the other he probably didn’t want to. It would have probably stayed(their friendship)if Tallstar wouldn’t have chosen him as the leader…AHHHHH WARRIOR CATS WHY ARE YOU SO ANGSTYYYYYY?!!!
I was so shocked when Onewhisker was chosen... and I agree that maybe their friendship would maintain if he didn't become the leader.
OMG I LOVE THAT FIRESTAR DESIGN!!
Thank you💕
First off, I love the starclans chosen design. Second THIS IS SO PERFECT FOR FIRESTAR AND ONESTAR!! I GOT SO MAD WHEN ONEWHISKER BECAME ONESTAR AND WAS THEN A JERK!!!!
God I love these two so much, Onestar is genuinely one of my favorite characters because of how realistic he is.
He was thrown into a position of power pretty much against his will, and had to deal with the fact that some of his clanmates wanted him dead because of it.
Then Firestar/ThunderClan is constantly in everyone’s business, which obv would make Onestar feel like he isn’t good enough if he can’t even solve his own clan’s problems.
He’s beyond stressed out, and that causes hatred, which strained his relationship between him and Firestar until it just snapped one day.
It’s honestly the perfect way his character could’ve gone.
I know Onestar felt he HAD to do it to make windclan strong and to prove they dont constantly need thunderclan saving them, but damn it hurts
This really remind of the Fox and the Hound situation, especially after reading Cats of the Clans. They formed a strong friendship but that friendship was immediately broken by society. Windclan didn't see Onestar as their leader and teased him for being friends with Firestar so he broke the friendship to prove he was their leader and not a 'kittypet'
So true, so sad…. Onestar has changed so much…. (Poor Darktail for his death)
Even sadder Firestar lost one of his nine lives saving onewisker
WHAT- I don't remember that part...
correct me if I'm wrong but I think it was in the darkest hour when Firestar fought Scourge since he was attacking Onewhisker
He actually lost 2 of his lives saving him. Once was in the darkest hour like you mentioned, the other time was in dawn when they were evacuating shadowclan from their camp while monsters were attacking. A tree was falling and about to hit onewhisker but firestar pushes him out of the way and gets hit instead
@@NotAPlaceholderName oh yeah! And wasn’t onewhisker holding one of the kits
I love this PMV, i also used to appreciate their friendship, it was endearing really…but when he became leader…Onestar completely changed, this PMV makes me wanna cry ngl :( (beautiful work !)
By the way, can I upload the song of your video, i’d like to make one with this song (not about the same characters ofc!)
@@Whvsrx The sound of this video is not mine. You can find the original sound video link in the description ^^
I cannot explain how well fitting this is for these two. And it makes me kinda sad.. I felt so sorry for Firestar, when he had to realise that the old Onestar is gone and with him their friendship ;-;
DO YOU TAKE JOY IN MAKING PEOPLE CRY😭
Just want to remind people and the author that this weird CHANGE still didn't get a proper explanation, their relationship is so underrated in the fandom.
@@Beintingnaur bc I remember vividly loving Onestar/wisker and then when flipped I thought it was gonna for like a book or two but then it was permanent 😭
Gotta say it kills me realizing this.
That Tallstar’s dying wish was a complete waist of time, damaged his clan, pushed a kind character to become callous, and literally lead to probably a worse future than if Mudclaw had become leader, so Mudclaw’s death was literally purposeless. He wasn’t EVIL. Just same minded to Leopardstar, who eventually mellowed out.
(I’ve only recently read up to book 4 of The Power of 3) I mean seriously Onestar lead his clan into Thunderclan camp to assault them/try & force them out like brokenstar did. Knowing that Thunderclan would WILLINGLY help them at any time, but decides that’s a bad thing. Insulted his old best friend & his entire clan/kindness. And makes the forest a 4 clan war zone all night long. Purely cus he’s trying to be more like the other clans want him to be. Tough, spiteful, zenophobic, unthankful.
I need more videos about Fireheart/star's and Onewhisker/star's relationship! It broke my heart when Onestar changed so much
I remember going through a breakup and bawling my eyes out at this one specific PMV...
I feel like the frames where their mouths are closed are meant to imply that the words are in their thoughts, but I personally really like that it could also imply that they’re communicating more through different animal behavior like body language or small cat noises, if that makes sense? Idk, cats communicate in different ways than vocal sounds and I just find the fact that you can interpret that in this video very charming ❤ I love the designs as well, and expressions, overall wonderful job :3
Thank you❤
This is so sad. Fireheart and Onewhisker had such a good friendship. But then its like after he got those 9 lives he completely forgot about their friendship.
I love how onestar looks like wind runner!!
Honestly it was one of the saddest friendship dynamics, and i hate how they never truly adressed this in canon. Not exploring onestars change in the books was one of the biggest missed potentials for a truly deep background character.
So true.
Tears immediately sprung to my eyes when I read the title. This PMV is perfect, I loved Onewhisker and Firestar's friendship so much
This hits different… I hate how real this is.
I know this is sad, but the art is actually really amazing
Thank you❤
I always hated how the Erins made Onestar so cold and rude to Firestar when he became leader. I personally feel like it totally goes against Onestar's personality when he was a warrior. They were so close, him and Fire. It makes no sense that he would become so callous towards ThunderClan. I miss their friendship :(
MY HEART JUST CRACKED OPEN
really like how onestar is framed/posed in this, big fan of the shot where hes like “did i yeah?” but hes not even bothering to fully face firestar, makes the line hit harder
oooo this was super well done! To me, Firestar and Onestar's relationship was tumultuous. I think that Onestar secretly doubted himself leading his clan and constantly compared himself to Firestar, leading Onestar to hate Firestar. The pressure of being a Clan Leader, responsible for your friends and familys safety could've made him change...
Thank you
This literally made me cry. I miss their friendship so much!😢
Me too💔
They were friends since the second book, but we all know nothing lasts forever.
"or did you never used to be.. .. oh god.. maybe you never used to be"
Really hit me.
Its when firestar realized maybe onestar was pretending to be nice for his own gain.
Honestly a interesting concept. In the books its only barely explored as to why all of a sudden he needed to prove his loyalties so fiercely. Ofc he needed to show his clan they came first, not Thunderclan, but what if onewhisker really did use firehearts respect in his favor, and once he didnt nead it anymore he gave up the act.
Just like with his kittypet mate he used his status and sweet-talk to his advantage to get on good terms with the clan that saved them, but as soon as he was in charge, onestar dropped firestar like a piece of soggy freshkill so he wouldnt have to deal with it anymore
I miss the friendship between their Clans- Onestar randomly hating Firestar ended up with all of WindClan to hate Thunderclan...
How about I start SCREAMING AND CRYING. Your art is lovely, this gives their relationship the depth and impact it had on me when I first read Warriors all those years ago. Your designs, lineart, expressions, and the little lineart wobble are all lovely.
Thank you sm😭❤
I LOVE THAT FILM OMFG (Despite how disturbing it gets it’s so funny) Really nice idea to use that audio for these two 😊
Rewatching this after rereading Twilight hits me so hard
I loved their friendship dynamic SO much. It was so gentle/passionate, genuine and more?? Onestar meannnn🙁
THEIR FRIENDSHIP TOUR ME APPART IN ONESTARS CONFESSION ☹️☹️
Why did this make me so sad 😭 ahh the good old days
Awesome work!!
Thank you!
Firestar did NOT deserve that betrayal 😭🤚
WHYYYYYYY.....I loved the friendship between Firestar and "Onewhisker"now Onestar...irl I'm sad
THIS SHOWS THEIR DYNAMIC SO WELL Your style is amazing, I dont like to see poor Fireboi sad, Amazing pmv!!
Thank you💕
The sparkle in the eyes to show emotion is such a nice thing much and I love it sm
This is so
GOOD!!❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you ❤️
Yw!
Series 4 book 5 chapter 136, when graystripe says “Do you remember when you were fire stars friends, back in the old forest? How can we have come so far from that time? We don’t need to become enemies.” And one star said that he makes it impossible to be anything else, broke my heart. I hate one star now that he’s leader.
Onewhisker pulling a whole 180 after becoming Onestar is something that still hurts all these years later... 🥲
It’s sad how they care about each other less (well onestar cares less for him) onestar didn’t like when thunder clan always visits neither did the other windclan warriors 😔
Awww my heart- I love this so much, the coloring, the audio, the character designs, all are perfection 🤌
Thank you
OMGGGGG HELP IM CRYINGGGGG DSJGFREVVRSHJESUUVXUIVEXA FIRESTAR LOOKS SO CUTE AND INNOCENT HERE I LOVE HIM SO MUCHHH 😭😭😭😭
Im sobbing about this and all, but can we fr talk about onestars lucious lashes at 0:16
This got me heartbroken 😭😭😭 it’s so true tho, I remember feeling this when I read this part
Fireheart's pleading for their friendship again hurts like putting salt on your wounds.
I feel so bad for FireStar…
I shared to help you get more views btw!
Thank you sm! ❤😭
oh man this hurt me in ways i didn't expect :( i miss them
I feel that, yo, I was so surprised when things started going poorly between them. Thought they were thick as thieves
This is why I hate onestar, I get he wanted to be a good leader and stuff, but The way he went about it was unforgivable, he was a selfish jerk for really no sensible reason, reminds me of clear sky (who I also hate)
Reading OOTS rn and this is so true!
Love your art btw! The poses and the designs look so good PLUSthe eyes look angel like
Thank you💖
This really touched the bottom of my heart, i've expierenced this kind of interaction with a classmate of mine.
This is my favorite use of this audio clip. The art also adds a lot to it~ ♡
From his background, I can imagine Firestar never had to deal with this as a kittypet. Everyone was a friend, and fences were merely walkways, not borders. Do I think the author and writers thought or planned this? No, not really.
Even when I hear a tiny bit of this audio I start crying, it’s so sad 😭
This crushed me- Your art style is so pretty btw!!!
Thank you💕
@@Beinting Of course!!! One of my friends actually recommended this video to me after I watched it, she loved it
Oh no this is so sad 😞
Hope they can be good friend again in Starclan...
Tallstar : I dont what thunderclan’s and windclan’s relationship to worsen
Well you shouldn’t of choosen onewhisker but whatever
OMG BANSHEES OF INISHIRIN + WARRIOR CATS?? VRO. 🤯
Awesome. Really captured the feeling
Thank you^^
@@Beinting Your Firestarter design is amazing! I don't know if I've ever seen one so nice!!
One star is so nice!Theres no possible way he could become a Jer-
