Brambleclaw

Oh my

god, Brambleclaw.

So, yeah.

Surprise! Firestar picks Squirrelflight to be a mentor after she told all those lies about them being her kits.

I'm right.

Squirrel flight.

Brambleclaw says commandingly, his voice coldly polite.

It's not her place to speak here.

And, but, and we saw that Leafpool has some concerns.

You know, they, she's worried about how Brambleclaw will do.

Which I think we decided that is valid because of right now, last time, she hasn't really...

Like, we know that at this point Bramble Claws had a change of heart and is like, I'm done.

bad.

It bad.

Brambleclaw, look, you're a father.

Leafpool stands outside the thorn barrier.

... swinging for the fences, so of atrocious things to say

... who else was, who else was close to Feathertail and loves Leafpool? Brambleclaw.

Yeah.

You know? Like, uh, I'm, I'm just saying, like it's one of those things where it's like you didn't have to lie to Brambleclaw, 'cause if we're using the duty thing, well, we can bring Brambleclaw into that as well.

It's like I feel like they wanted to do this whole sisterhood thing, and like didn't bring any men into the story, but instead m- instead, but it's insane, it's in- instead insanely misogynistic still.

Like-

Oh, we still haven't decided what we're gonna do.

We're gone for 15 days?

They'd be like, "Listen, it's gonna be too complex for you to be pregnant.

Take these kids, and then you're gonna enjoy motherhood, and you won't have to worry about all the other stuff." [laughs] You know? Brambleclaw shouldn't be leader.

I'm s- [laughs] I don't know who should be, but-

Well, I, I mean, okay, Yellowfang said that, but the only po- Brambleclaw's only possibility as deputy is he becomes leader or he dies.

Yeah.

So.

... really hard, she would've understood.

She would've done it.

He had to find out why, and if Cinderpelt couldn't help him, there might be other cats who could.

He leaped down to where Graystripe was waiting for him with Sandstorm, Brambleclaw, and the rest of the Thunder Clan warriors.

"Graystripe, I want you and Sandstorm to lead the clan back to camp." "Why? Where are you going?" Firestar took a deep breath.

"I need to go to the Moonstone.

Something might be attacking his warriors.

Quote, "He raced through the trees until he came to the edge of the wood.

Ashfur and Brambleclaw were scuffling with an unfamiliar black and white cat.

Brambleclaw had climbed onto the cat's back, clawing at its neck fur, while Ashfur bit down hard on the end of its tail.

Yeah.

Because in prose, Erin Hunter can simply write, you know, "Brambleclaw looked at Firestar."

Right.

And boom, you know exactly who was involved.

But in a comic, the artist has to draw a large dark brown tabby cat looking at a bright orange cat.

Okay.

And they have to pray the reader remembers that this specific configuration of brown stripes belongs to Brambleclaw and not one of the other five brown tabbies standing in the background of the exact same panel.

Wow.
