    For the mates kits thing I've always liked the compromise of it's allowed, but only after you have a fully trained apprentice just to ensure there's enough paws around. It makes more sense, gets rid of the uncomfy element of being so overly controlling over the medicine cat's bodies and lives (glances at that 'the clans are a cult' video you shared recently on twitter) and you CAN still have the drama that I imagine was part of it's original purpose.
    "Oh I love you so much but I just can't! I don't have an apprentice yet!! Wait for me my love!!"
    "Oh I shouldn't but I want to so badly I just can't wait any longer!!!"
    "Oh no I became pregnant too soon and I don't have an apprentice! What am I going to do!!!"

      I think medicine cats SHOULDNT have kits or a mate. Not because favoritism and distractions and all that, but because it's more of a tradeoff, I guess. It would be unfair to the warriors that the medicine cat could have a connection to Starclan AND a family. I think of it as a nun situation. The medicine cats are nuns and Starclan is god. They cant have a relationship or children in return for the special position they have in the clan that allows them to communicate with Starclan, not be involved with clan rivalries, and the knowledge of herbs that they learn.

I have this whole oc/au fic thing (the clans in the distant future have to deal with the aftermath of a plague-- unfortunately I started writing it right before the whole COVID-19 mess started lol) and as I was developing it I instantly knew I wanted there to be an evil medicine cat! An evil medicine cat could manipulate "messages from Starclan" to get their way, or they can mistreat their clanmates, etc, all the while having to hide their intentions from Starclan... It's a super interesting concept and I'd love to see it happen in the books!

    The magic and mystery of StarClan has indeed faded. I remember when Leafpool's visions at the Moonstone were just that. Cryptic, vague visions. And then Jayfeather could just go to StarClan and chat with them like anyone alive and I thought that was because of his powers. But then suddenly every medicine cat could do that. It was just normal to have a pleasant chat every two weeks with your dead ancestors.
    I really hope all the other medicine cats would only have the cryptic and vague visions and need to decipher them (and like actually do that and just think every chapter "hm, I wonder what this meant... Oh well.") and Jayfeather have the ability to actually communicate with them, since he was actually supposed to have an unnaturally strong and close connection with them. But I'd still want them to be more mysterious and secretive, like how Rock was at the start. He could speak with them but they wouldn't still really have a full of conversation with him.

      Tbh, actual communications between StarClan and the clans is wat I dislike. Prophecies, omens, vague dreams, small whispers, nine-lives ceremony, they're _fine_ , but if like a dead cat visits a living relarice and just goes, "I'm sorry father, I died" thats cheap.
      I prefer if they just relay the news vaguely, like when Yellowfang gave Jayfeather a crow feather to tell them who their bio father was. (I always wondered where Hollyleaf got her color since no cat had that palette).
      The nine lives thing can be an exception since u are visiting ur loved ones for ur extra lives. Jayfeather as well since he's a prophecied cat but everything else? Just no.

    • @pippastrelle
      @pippastrelle 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I've always liked the idea of a genuinely restrictive set of visions from Starclan. Like, maybe they can't appear as cats. Instead, they have to design the environment of the dream to reference cats' names and fates. I liked when they showed a hedge of brambles protecting the camp to indicate Brambleclaw. This way there's a lot more intrigue in interpreting them and room for error beyond the Starclan cats just refusing to tell them some things. It also lends a bit more credence to the cats who don't believe in Starclan.
      Like, the "Fire will save the clan" prophecy could have showed a forest on fire but blooming despite it. Maybe the "kin of your kin will hold the power of the stars in their paws" could have had embers from that fire becoming the stars and blotting out the sky.

    Another issue I have is how the authors portray being a medicine cat as being a lesser alternative to being a warrior especially in power of three where Jayfeather had to be forced into the role and the whole Cinderpent/heart situation just made the role seem like a "well I can't be a warrior for xyz reason so I'm just going to be a medicine cat so I can still be useful

      It also seems to be a uniquely ThunderClan thing. WindClan literally had a deputy that had a broken foot that gave him a significant limp (Deadfoot). RiverClan had a leader with a disfigured jaw, (Crookedstar), and we even got to see Crookedstar go on his journey of dealing with his disability after the accident. ThunderClan always shoves their disabled into the Medicine Den or Elder’s Den. The only exception I can think of is Brightheart and maybe Berrynose if you count his missing tail.

    I love how the progression of the portraits is just more and more stressed characters. Also I totally agree with everything you said, one of the things I hate most about the books is how StarClan went from being a religion that was actually interesting and mysterious to just a bunch of useless dead people. And the mates and kits rule is ridiculous, especially if a clan has 2+ medicine cats.

It wasn't any big StarClan thing and wasn't caused by anything dramatic and horrifying because a medicine cat had such a huge bias cats died, it was just because a young mother couldn't handle her kids and her job and didn't think she could just ask another cat to babysit during the day before going the extreme route and demanding other cats not be allowed to have kits just because SHE couldn't handle it lol.

    Oh my god. Someone finally said it. Medicine Cats shouldn't be so isolated from their clan. You'd think that being in a role where you're supposed to care for your clan would make you want to get closer to the members of your community. Sometimes, a cat doesn't need just physical healing, but emotional support or spiritual/moral guidance and that's something that you'd normally see fall in a healer's role for a bunch of fantasy. Maybe some of these Medicine Cats wouldn't be so freaking upset with their position if they were actually able to engage with their clanmates in meaningful and constructive ways.

    I feel like you missed one other thing that hurts the warriors story by having medicine cat protagonists: death becomes almost meaningless. Any important/main character, once they die, are still actively involved in the story and you get to see them, so a character death doesn't really hold as much weight

    My favorite Medicine Cat is easily Mothwing and Shadowsight-Mothwing I relate to in wanting to believe in a higher power but just can't. And Shadowsight is my child
    .
    I feel like if Warriors followed the Sith's rule of two a master and an apprentice so many issues would be solved for the Clans. From ThunderClan having THREE Medicine Cats which is just too much, to ShadowClan not having ANY after Littlecloud died. I also wish the Erins would just STOP forcing ThunderClan cats to HAVE no choice but to be a Medicine Cat-EVERY other clan in the lake territories and forest had cats who WANTED to be medicine cats but nope not thunderclan...sure it adds drama but it also seems to just make the Medicine Cat position seem lesser than that of a warrior and I hate it-without doctors their clans would suffer.

    I really like the fact that medicine cats can't have kits. They say it's because they won't get bias, but I think it has more to do with priorities. Like when cats want to become leaders, it isnt really a good thing to be a mother aswell. It also references some religions in the real world, the ones connected to starclan, can't have kids and mates.
    It is logical and (sadly) realistic that there are weird/useless rules. Perfect
    communities don't exist and that makes it interesting to me.
    I'm not that good at explaining (and English lol), but I thought it was a nice element.

      I agree! In today's world we have laws and regulations from years ago that no longer really apply, but we don't change or amend them. That doesn't make it a good thing, but having a flawed society makes the world more interesting and the *frustration* we feel for the medicine cats affected by the rules that make less sense make the books more affective, no matter how silly the rule is.

    My favorite medicine cats have to be Littlecloud and Willowshine. They have very nice names and designs and their desires to actually become medicine cats is one of my favorite things in warriors. We often see medicine cats that just get thrown into their position or we’re told they have a desire for their position but never see it. Reading how Littlecloud’s life was changed by Cinderpelt and how Willowshine had a constant love for herbs and helping her clanmates really helps them feel like actual characters and gives us a sense of just how much they love their job. It’s much better (imo) than a cat that’s told to be a healer or just has a connection with StarClan for some reason.

    Why not just write out most of the medicine cats' interactions with StarClan, especially at the Moonpool. To me, that seems to be the answer to all mysticism. You would never see it, only be able to understand through one cat's memory, which we all know memory can be flawed, and Mothwing's Nihilism can make some sense. It is more tricky to write like this, but I think it might be more fulfilling.

  • @storybook2041
    @storybook2041 4 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Leafpool is probably my favorite medicine cat so far since I’m only on long shadows, but I was disappointed that Leafpool and Crowfeather sort of just threw a relationship into the plot. It seemed sudden and almost like a distraction from the plot in the new prophecy. But I’ve always been a bit frustrated when medicine cats get a vital piece of information that could save their clan but don’t tell any of the other medicine cats or the leader. So to fix that whole issue I would start off with then being more open about their visions with the other medicine cats or their leader so they can work together to figure out the problem.

    This is just something I thought of for how medicine cats aren’t allowed to have kits, I know for she-cats it may take away from their jobs but what about toms?! Toms normally don’t take care of the kits or take part in raising them, except for Fern song of course. But for toms would it really affect their jobs as medicine cats?

    My main medicine cat oc is Owlwing, she was born in ShadowClan and was originally a warrior, but eventually she decided she would rather be a medicine cat. Also she gets more anxious and becomes Goosefeather - y. Her own brother was a villain and killed a few cats, including her mentor. She starts panicking at every small thing and distrusts everyone. She refused to take an apprentice until she started going blind from old age.

    My favorite medicine cats and overall favorite characters would have to be Alderheart and Shadowpaw. They just give a whole new turn on medicine cats throughout the warrior series. No matter who it is, Alderheart always goes out of his way to make the other cats feel welcome and respected, and Shadowpaw has an incredibly interesting story as far as the new arc goes. I'm very excited o see what happens in the new series!!!!! And I do agree on your statement about how the medicine cat code has flaws. Why can't they have kits? Biases will always me a thing you know. Also, can we just point out how Squirrelflight went ahead and had Alderheart and Sparkpelt after the whole scandal with Leafpool and her kits? I still have mixed feelings about that

    I think at least part of the problem is that StarClan, and therefore medicine cats, are used as exposition dumps for things that the cats would have no other way of knowing and that's why the mystery faded. Hopefully, this arc will change StarClan in some major way like limiting how freely they can give prophecises or removing the cats we see there all the time.

    @starfinney6308 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I was in a warrior cat rp where I was a medicine cat and easily circumvented all the problems described by having my thunderclan gal Lilybrook be a nosy momfriend who is very good with medicine but has trouble naturally keying into starclan and thus not naturally relying on them to make her decisions for her. She views her job as healer and support as one that naturally means she feels responsible for being vigilant and responsive to the needs of her clan. When there is a mysterious double murder in the clan she jumps to help solve the mystery with the rest and figures that if starclan needs to tell her something or if they want her to do something else they'd give some indication. This meant she spoke actively with her fellow clanmates, was not passively relying on starclan, and was very much a driving force in the progression of the rp. I think the problem with medicine cats is mostly due to starclan, with if you fix the nature of starclan and allow the medicine cats to have less of a nuns or monks relationship with them and more be akin to clerics then they'd be well suited to the role of POV.

    The best way I can think about fixing the medicine cat code is to adjust it slightly. (I should also note I haven't read a vision of shadows so sorry if I say something that has already been addressed)
    As in let them have kits after they have one fully trained apprentice. I don't think it would be that bad if they have a mate before as long as the kits wait a bit. This way this could still keep some of the conflict that Warriors had (with some adjustments to the story) Plus this could also add a lot of new ideas for conflicts to the story, like a medicine cat rushes their apprentice's training in order to be have kits with their mate.
    For Starclans communication between medicine cats I do like the idea that they can directly talk to them and can have a close relationship and can learn long forgotten secrets from the past.
