"Sink Away" Bristlefrost. ORIGINAL WARRIOR CATS SONG

[@BlessedofHavoc]

Someone finally honored everything Bristlefrost gave away. She was one of my favorite characters until Erin Hunter decided, "Ok, Bristlefrost is dead, goodbye until fall!". I think she gave up a lot to save the clans, so I thank you Blixemi, for making my favorite cat basically a funeral.

[@maybejupiterr]

Literally, I loved bristlefrost, and she did so much for the clans. Yet when she died she didn’t even go to star clan, she’s just gone.

Don't think anyone saw this death coming. And I gotta applaud the writers for it. It's a BALLSY move to kill your main character in the arc they're introduced. You'll be missed bristlefrost

[@spyritsolz]

Oh definitely. I was expected a wishy-washy, everyone wins and Bristle and Root get together and have babies ending. But instead we got an emotional, heart-wrenching, bittersweet conclusion to the story; and while the arc as a whole definitely has its flaws, I’m really happy with the Erins’ decision to kill off Bristlefrost, even if it does hurt.

[@yuki_sushi3480]

The symbolism of Bristlefrost’s death… it’s sad. She saved Rootspring from drowing when they were younger. And now that she finally liked him back, he had to watch her drown when he couldn’t do a thing. Its really sad not gonna lie. It was one of the most heroic warrior deaths i’ve seen.

[@ayonixanimations]

The vocals are so soft, and the detail of her actually sinking and getting further and further away from the surface of the ocean as the water grows dark is so amazing. I missed this.

This is incredibly done. I was never the biggest fan of Bristle frost, but I always held a huge respect for her. After everything she had gone through, just to do her best for the ones around her, she should have gotten so much in return. But as I read her final chapters, I grew to love her more and more, and even with this song, it just shows how much she cared for the ones who truly stuck beside her. I wish so much that she was given a place in Starclan, and every time I think of what Rootspring has to go through now- But this really captures her noble spirit in doing what she knows is best, for not only her, but the ones around her.

[@miaperry1834]

This song is perfect for Bristlefrost. The water sounds, sad piano music, and lovely voice only make it more emotional. The part where she sings: "I fade away so you can be living all the dreams you planned to make" made me sad, because Rootspring's dream was to be with her. Now he'll never get that. but when she sings, "I know you'll be okay", she's saying that he can make it through his grief, and she wants him to. That is something that I know Bristlefrost would have wanted for him.

[@Midnightrain146]

Wow…I can’t believe how deep this is. As a writer, I loved all the metaphors you used and how deep and heartbreaking you made this song! Like, “Love shapes a heartless fate” and “we’ve clawed so desperately for a future out of reach.” Those lines really give the song depth and so much meaning, you can really feel the pain of how Bristlefrost and Rootsprings futures were taken away by Ashfur, a cat who had an obsession on a cat born way before them. They were robbed, and this song really makes you feel their loss! It’s amazing! Definitely one of the best warrior cat songs out there. (Lol I didn’t mean to make it this long oops.)

[@mayra3277]

Fell back into Warriors a few months ago after not paying it much attention for a few years. Read all of The Broken Code in about 2 weeks. But only now am I truly thinking about how this is the first 'real' death in perhaps the whole series, the first true case of a life being ripped away far too early that will never get another chance. Damn. Maybe it is deeper than just some cat books that make me nostalgic for middle school.

[@pvnecxne]

Okay, I’m going to summarize some things. 1- Erin Hunter, you write such beautiful books, and I loved Bristlefrost, but after I first read she died I wanted to like curl up in a hole and just fade too, but I was in school so I just sobbed there in front of everyone🫢🫣, I wish she at least got to go to Starclan 2- This is when the book Sky has been released, and at the moment when Sunbeam was like, Rootspring is younger than some of us, yet he acts older, something like that anyways she thought I wonder if it was his experience in the Dark Forest that mad him this way or losing Bristlefrost, and when I saw the word Bristlefrost on the page, I literally started crying (yes, I know I have issues 😂) 3- This song is so BEAUTIFUL! This song is totally worthy of Bristlefrost, it tugged at my heart strings so hard! 4- Love your vids! (especially your Mouse Brained trivia show) bye!

[@carlthefourth6188]

Maybe instead of going to Starclan or The Dark Forest, she would be stuck as a ghost, but the reason why everyone thinks she's gone forever is because no one can see her spirit. And maybe when Rootspring dies he would finally lead her spirit to Starclan.

[@Eevee_Hearts_2000]

Bristlefrost started off a bit annoying. She was focused on one thing only and when she couldn't achieve Stemleaf's love she wallowed in despair. She felt so one dimensional in the first book. It didn't help that instantly Rootpaw fell in love with her, and instead of trying to gently turn him down she was horrible about it. But then slowly, she wised up, after realizing Bramblestar wasn't really Bramblestar. She allowed herself to be scrutinized by not only her former crush and his mate, but her entire Clan. When even cats from other Clans turned against her and accused her of being a spy, she stayed strong! She saved Squirrelflight's life, and so many other refugees. She was insanely loyal to Squilf, even protecting the Imposter for her so that Bramblestar's spirit would have a vessel to return to. Something that even resulted in the death of several cats she loved, like Rosepetal and Stemleaf. She worked hand in hand with Rootspring and Shadowsight to defeat the imposter, and she risked her own life *so many times.* When the Imposter tried to make her deputy, she refused at first, and when Squirrelflight returned, she didn't hesitate to step down. She wanted to earn her place in the Clan, not just benefit from other's suffering. When Stemleaf died, she was by Spotfur's side day and night to comfort her, and when it was revealed Spotfur was pregnant, Bristlefrost didn't hesitate to promise her that she'd be by her side. It's so, so sad that wasn't able to keep that promise, because we all know she desperately wanted to. Bris never, ever wanted to abandon Spotfur all alone. She went to the Dark Forest willingly *several* times, knowing just how dangerous it was. When it was decided the Imposter would be killed, she comforted Squirrelflight, knowing just how hard this would be for her. When Ashfur kidnapped Squirrelflight, Bristlefrost was one of the first to want to take action. She even helped ThunderClan reach temporary peace by suggesting Graystripe be acting leader, a decision nearly unanimously agreed upon, even by temperamental Lionblaze and grumpy Jayfeather! Despite being so young, she's even chosen to be ThunderClan's representative at an all-Clan meeting with Graystripe to discuss how to rescue Squirrelflight and kill Ashfur. And when Shadowsight and Rootspring get stuck in the Dark Forest, Bristlefrost bravely goes looking for them. After noticing that Rootspring didn't manage to escape after she saved him and Shadowsight, Bristlefrost instantly went straight back into the Dark Forest! She can't do anything but watch in horror when Rootspring and Snowtuft are made to fight to the death, and she even grieves Snowtuft for his brave sacrifice. Not only did she rescue Rootspring for the 3rd time now, she also managed to help some of Ashfur's prisoners escape, and found the source blocking StarClan! Not only that, but after being captured, Bristlefrost managed to convince her three Dark Forest captors to work with the Clans to save the living cats, the StarClan cats, and the Dark Forest cats. When she noticed Shadowsight was being attacked by a rogue spirit, she saved him, and only moments later, when Ashfur was dragging an unconscious Shadowsight towards to water, Bristlefrost didn't hesitate. She *knew* what that water was. She was perfectly aware of exactly what would happen if she knocked Ashfur and herself into the water, yet Shadowsight was a dear friend to her. They'd been through so much together, not to mention he was her cousin. And so, Bristlefrost charged at Ashfur and instead of attempting to swim back up, she pulled Ashfur down with her. She had no regrets as she was dying, she only felt love. Bristlefrost is a shining example of loyalty. She loved so, so deeply. She loved Rootspring. She loved her family. She loved Shadowsight. She loved Stemleaf. She loved Spotfur. She loved Squirrelflight. She loved Bramblestar. She loved Rosepetal. She loved ThunderClan. She loved life. She had so much potential, and that is what truly hurts most. She had so much more life to give; she was so young! And yet, she was more than happy to throw everything away to save the cats she loved. She was so, so brave. She went through so much in such a short amount of time, and stayed strong through it all. She was so strong that not even Ashfur suspected her of betrayal until the moment she did. Bristlefrost, truly, is what every warrior should strive to be. She would've been ThunderClan's most amazing leader had she lived.

Great job man. Made me cry. Thanks for it :)

you made me cry too 😭😭😭 darn it i didnt ask to cry

[@tigerlowe5002]

My goodness. I am almost crying. I still have so many arcs to catch up on & barely know Bristlefrost. But when I read the spoilers, when I learned how she died & not only that, but that her spirit is also forever gone - WHY, god, WHY ?! She died saving Shadowsight & her clan. Her & Rootspring had plans. All that forbidden love drama for nothing. They could never be. I barely know anything about her. But I just wanna jump & pull her our of the water & scream "Bristlefrost ! NOOOOO !!!!" First Spottedleaf. Now this cat I barely know, who was just introduced & the main character in the same arc. If I already knew who she is & what's going on, I would totally be ugly sobbing & crying right now. Wonderfull song as always TwT

[@ilikeminecraftgaming9331]

Yeah if I were a warrior cat and knew what was going to happen I would totally sacrifice myself for her so she could have a better life.I want to kill Ashfur myself!

[@purplesakura2503]

well, they remade some of the rules of starclan so that cats like root could get judged on if they wanna switch clans or not, her sacrafice was not in vain, I assure you that.

[@emiliaromana2683]

This is so beautiful. I cried my eyes out, when Bristefrost died and this brought all the tears back :/

This is now my favorite Blixemi song. It's so deep and calming and I've listened to it on repeat so many times

[@Kaminari_Denki1269]

Blixemi! That is illegal! How dare you make me cry!? Why!? I loved Bristlefrost and when I read her death I was so sad! And now, I'm even more sad! This song is just beautiful! I love it but I can't stop to cry 😭😭😭😭😭

[@rowanscorner]

I have no words other than now I am going to cry, I loved this song. I also love that it can be taken out of the books and applied to more real-world situations. Thanks for this, really.

[@MantyCore201X]

I feel so bad for Bristlefrost. Her spirit didn't even have a chance to breathe before it faded. There have only been a few other deaths that broke me: Yellowfang, Snowkit, Bluestar, Firestar, and Mapleshade's kits. But none of them match this level of tragedy.

[@gaggleofminions]

YOU GO GIRL!!! ❤️ Hearing this song made me get back into the warrior cat series again. Bristlefrost’s story is so sad! 😭

[@SlipperyQuillz]

I've been following your youtube and music journey since I was, ahem- a young whippersnapper. I found you by your cover, "StarClan's Light", and my little battle cat obsessed heart became obsessed in an instant haha! I've fallen in love with so many of your songs over the years, but none have touched my heart and made me cry like this one. I haven't read a warrior cats book in a long time, but with the pure emotion of the instrumental background and the gorgeous lyrics in this song have me tearing up. I don't know the character this song is based on, but I relate to the lyrics like it was I who wrote it. This sounds like my story, this sounds like my past, and I'll definitely be reading the books after listening to this masterpiece. Absolutely lovely work, thank you for being an inspiration to me for so long, and please never stop doing what you're passionate for. Fare thee well!

[@JeLlYbEaN_173]

Blixemi, YOU ARE NOW MY IDOL!! I felt like Bristlefrost didn't deserve her death, not being able to reach StarClan even though she led an honorable life. No one honors her. Thank you again Blixemi! Your songs are the best! Keep up the good work.

[@OrcathecatSR]

The memories this has brought back ... This is WONDERFUL, Blix!

This is my new favorite song. This song is sad and beautiful.

I just cant stop listening to this it's been a half an hour now, and I can't find the words to describe the feeling this song gives me, it's just........ PERFECT. Definitely my favorite song of yours (and the singer's voice is beautiful)

Bristlefrost is my favorite of all! As i read how she has drowned, it broke my heart i just couldnt continue reading.... Thank you for honouring her Blixemi ❤

The first thing I see when I click on this isn't the stunning art or incredible music, it is is a Peppa Pig ad. Lovely.

[@amberkatanimations6585]

As sad as this is, I still somehow find time to wonder how the singer kept their composure while singing. I was trying to sing along and absolutely sobbing my eyes out. This is wonderful and tragic and lovely.

[@moony8093]

I love everything about this song. The beat, the art, the lyrics, the vocals, the piano in the beginning. Just love it. Great job Blix!

[@mikaylalester4379]

When I first listened to this song, I hadn’t read The Broken Code and I didn’t understand it, but I finished The Broken Code not that long ago and when I first listened to this song after finishing The Broken Code, I actually cried.

OH MY GOODNESS... GORGEOUS- hold on let me just- Putting this into words is difficult, but I feel a connection in a way. I can relate to the feelings of being dragged into an ocean.

I am utterly speechless. Honestly I dont know much about composition or anything but took my breath away the lyrics and everything were simply beautiful and felt like they were truly coming from bristlefrost. Congrats, Blixemi on another fantastically crafted song!

So, poor bristlefrost has been drowning for 4 minutes and 2 seconds straight, and yet, no one had saved her. WOW ROOTSPRING, U MUST'VE LOVED HER THAT MUCH. U LOVED HER SO MUCH THAT U MADE ONE OF MY FAV CHARATER DIE. WHAT AN AWESOME MAKE U WOULD'VE BEEN, HUUUUH!

[@starcycle4308]

Okay the fact she fades before getting the last 'away' in broke my heart

[@MaxieTheMax]

Even though this song is about a fictional character, my cat just passed away and I came to this song to cry and remember her. She was with me for more than half my existence and saved my life allowing me to be here today. We found her while in line with her previous owner taking her to the shelter alone at 6 weeks old. I was only a child then, but I fell in love with her at first sight, and we brought her home right then and there, sparing her from being without a home and a family. Since then she more than paid back that on-the-spot favor; she saved me from myself, I stopped attempting suicide. She was there, whether she knew it or not, during my worst times, keeping me safe, keeping me alive. For that, I can never forget her. Goodbye, Nessie. Walk among the stars. May Starclan guide you forevermore, my little demon.

[@WingsKitty4ever]

Can we please take a moment to acknowledge that Bristleforst will be one of the only character in Warriors to never be seen again? Her spirit is not in StarClan. It disappears forever ...

Bristlefrost redeemed the "frost" suffix. in honor of her i think it should be believed that the "frost" suffix be given to only the bravest of warriors. Your bravery was never matched and has never been matched Bristlefrost. your suffix, and your legacy, will live on in our community forever.
