Mini-Talking: Badgerfang

Another Kitten Video. Thought it wouldn't be too long to go over. This is a mini talking so I don't take top comment suggestions, but I do look at comments.

[@SpaceInvader42359]

My headcanon is that Starclan doesn't usually let apprentices choose their own warrior names but Flintfang got Badgerpaw's hopes up and they were put on the spot.

[@inkynewt]

I love how incompetent this cat religion is. I live for it. This is exactly what is believable for StarClan.

You can even say.. they were badgered into it

[@youknowwhatelseisbig484]

​@@jiquilisco8281stopppp 😭😭😭

[@youknowwhatelseisbig484]

My headcannon is that if they didn't badgerfang would've turned evil in the afterlife and would've been like ashfur kind of except instead of taking over a body he tries to kill everyone and StarClan new that so to prevent having an interesting villain they let him be badgerfang. This was made up just now

[@fernfeather7665]

Re: the kittens in StarClan bit. I always subscribed to the idea that cats appear in StarClan as they were happiest in life - which is why, for example, Bluestar appeared to grow younger, while someone like Yellowfang is generally still seen as grouchy and older? Because ThunderClan is where she WAS happiest. The three kits who drowned evidently had their life predetermined (although, in my opinion, it's kind of cyclic? They always would have died, they never would have reached those positions, but that WAS their destiny, theoretically), but most cats, like Snowkit or Mosskit, do not have set paths. Smallstar and his siblings had a "path" on which they could choose any point to ascend to StarClan from, just like any other fully grown warrior or medicine cat, but for the other kits who died, this path hadn't been set. It's literally the only thing that makes a modicum of sense, to me.

the whole "kits not aging in starclan" thing will always be upsetting to me. along with being horrible for the kits themselves, imagine being one of the kits' parents and constantly being reminded that your child never got the chance to grow up and live a full life. sounds like a pretty bad time if you ask me.

[@user-tx6jb5hu7s]

I know, right??? It makes my heart hurt to read scenes where there are tiny baby kits in starclan. I always thought every cat should at least get a full name once they’re in starclan, and the babies should get to grow up a little. ❤️❤️

[@chickennuggetpaw]

Well yeah, but it’s kinda just how things are. You can’t age anymore if you’re dead. If they did, then they’d have this weird problem where all the dead elders are slowly aging more and more until they’re just a walking pile of dust.

[@evelutioncor]

​@@chickennuggetpawLmao walking piles of dust

[@JackalopeBunny]

Yea this was always sad to me, they are always kittens and way too young. They grow up, but it's only their minds that age, their spirit. It's kinda like children vampires where they never age, yet they seem old, despite how they look. I always wonder what about the ones who die being born, they are never mentioned really at all, only ones who were old enough to speak.

[@applesong01]

But elders appear younger and some disabilities go away​@@chickennuggetpaw

[@TheRibottoStudios]

I always thought Badgerfang had a cool design quite literally having the markings of a badger. He's also a good example of how you can use a simple or "bad" character (not to say Badgerfang is bad but still) to help bolster other characters which is good writing.

[@BlueSkyBirdies]

I think it could be interpreted as Brokenstar had an awful kithood so he took out his hatred and aggression on all the kits he could.

[@Dragonemperess]

That's what I was thinking.

[@JRMax-ss6ob]

I'd love to see a Talking on Littlecloud now that you've covered Badgerfang 👀 I know other kits survived the era of Brokenstar, but Littlecloud is the only one that really gets much characterization, and he ends up living a long, relatively interesting life.

[@reese5615]

He lived through so many interesting events. Brokenstar rule, Tigerstar rule, a Sol, being a very close friend of Blackstar, dying because of Rowanstar's bad leadership, being a warrior turned med cat because of cinderpelt, going to the lake, everything with Flametail. I swear they can make a super edition out of everything he's lived through 😭

[@Spottedstorm27]

I kinda see the Badgerfang thing as this: Badgerfang gets to Starclan. Officially in their ranks he's still only Badgerpaw. However, he gives the biggest, saddest kitten eyes begging for his warrior name and Starclan just can't say no to the baby.

I haven't read the books in ages, but I remember one scene where Brokenkit tells Yellowfang that Lizardstripe thinks he's stealing milk from her kits, and when Yellowfang, shocked, tells him that that isn't true, he says "Yes, it is! I heard her say it!" :(

[@axowotlz]

As the #1 Badgerfang Fan I am very pleased thank you Lord Moon All things aside, YES!! His situation is extremely weird and inconsistent, even coming from me! Why is Badgerfang one of, if not the only, cat to get a warrior name in StarClan, but NOT grow up? It would never make sense to me. Perhaps in a dying ceremony given by their LEADER, sure. But Badgerfang and the Smallstar trio will always perplex me a little bit. I don’t really overthink the whole scenario though. He’s honestly just a sweet boy who wants to be a loyal noble warrior and he tries to act so serious when he’s just a goofy little guy and comes out all cute instead

[@lionclan4575]

ngl i would love a breakdown of the (major) villains of warrior cats and just how..... dumb they are. and like i dont mind dumb villains, but so many of their plans/motivations makes no sense. like is brokenstar so caught up in himself he is intentionally killing shadowclan off cuz he hates his clan that much due to his rough childhood? and they had chabces to retcon his behavior more, like i could believe if they later said "oh brokenstar was purposely getting cats in shadowclan killed cuz he wanted his clan destroyed yada yada" but no they just make him, somehow, even more confusing.

[@ditzydoodle8381]

I agree, I'd love to see that! And even Tigerstar, he wants all four clans to never mingle with each other to make babies (which would fix a lot of the inbreeding problems if he allowed it) yet also wants them all to be together under one Clan? Like, he knows he can't micro manage every cat's emotions and watch like 50+ cats to make sure they're not mating with someone 'outside' the Clan despite the fact they're all one Clan so it wouldn't be breaking rules. The fact he links blood to loyalty also just means he'd be killing cats not for actions but for something beyond their control, which no one ever calls him out on which is so confusing. How does he expect TigerClan to keep going if they can't mingle or keep loyal if he's killing his own warriors for the littlest transgression? Pretty much every villain in Warrior Cats are moronic and have no actual reasonable purpose, they act like 80s cartoon villains.

[@legrandliseurtri7495]

I think Brokenstar just likes to cause suffering. His actions are illogical because he's not guided by a clear goal.

[@jeriko_studios]

I feel like the reasoning for Brokenstar's need to make babies into warriors is for two simple reasons Impatenice, and power. He wants as many warriors as fast as possible, not caring whether theyre big enough to cause real damage or whether or not they survive, as in his eyes (and this is all a guess mind you) the weakest die but the strongest survive, and stealing kits from other clans could work in his favor too actually, because on the off chance that these kits are stronger than his own clans kits then hey, more warriors for him right? And on the other hand they can be used as bargaining chips or just as hostages to make the clans do whatever they want since Crookedstar, Tallstar, and Bluestar wouldnt just let their own kits get dogged like that

[@_lexi]

yes!!!!

[@gingermaniac5484]

i feel like another advantage is a full grown warrior would likely hesitate to kill a child soldier (thats why it happens irl, the hesitation aspect) but a brainwashed/scared of disobeying child soldier is not likely to hesitate to kill and just do as they're told, and like you said, strongest survive and bargaining chips.

[@abigailkondoudis5772]

Badgerpaw and Flintfang are one of like three mentor/apprentice dynamics that I can think of that actually feels organic, and like they really care about each other. Frankly I think it should be more common in the books for apprentices to have names alluding to their mentors, or, you know, any level of emotional attachment to their mentors at all. Mentors should effect their apprentices lives way more then they do in the books, but the authors never seem to wanna acknowledge that.

[@daydreamer8941]

The idea of a starclan kitten being abuse by their parent forever is sad, but knowing how toxic Warrior Cats relationships can be I feel like its a high possibility .

[@falcon_arkaig]

I agree with the Kittens in Starclan rant. If I were to write some Starclan lore I'd say that Starclan gives the choice to a kitten if they want to grow up or not (and thus also giving them the choice to have a warrior / med cat name or not depending on what they were being trained to be). I love Badgerfang and I just wish more kittens got to choose if they wanted a warrior name. I also wish Starclan didn't suddenly cure disabilities when a disabled cat dies. Like I hate that Jayfeather can see in Starclan, and I hate that Snowkit was probably "cured" of his deafness. Okay that's another conversation I'll stop talking. Love your videos!

[@hollythecat410]

New headcanon: cats who die as kits/apprentices can choose to grow up, and most just choose not to

@@hollythecat410I like to think that a lot of them wait for their parents or friends to join them in StarClan before they choose to grow up :)

Maybe the disability thing is because of the disability effecting only their body and not their actual spirit, that's the only explanation I can come up with.

[@falcon_arkaig]

@@dusktheowlgryphon I think Deadfoot still has his disability (twisted paw) in Starclan and so does Crookedstar, so idk about that. Maybe it only applies to certain characters or something.

[@lindseylindsey9200]

[@emeraldemerson6726]

[@Sophiedei]

I’m pretty sure the whole kit thing was based on a real world thing ( I think it was Russia nor Germany) made children soldiers because they believed that the other countries would not be able to fight literal children for moral reasons, I’m not sure if it worked in there case but I think they based Brokenstar’s plan of that//

[@mediatorraptor3349]

I was thinking the same thing. I was also thinking to have more apprentice to ready to fight

[@billcipher8645]

Possibly based on Hitlerjugend

[@prehistoricorchid3455]

I also thought this. that and "darwinism" shit. Like the romans (or maybe the greeks..), all newbies were put on the front lines and if you survived you were recognized as a true soldier and didn't have to be on the front lines any more. So any kits that survived battle were stronger and could make stronger kittens until all kits were just strong. (not that they'd probably understand genetic anything really)

[@Moonkitti]

This doesn't make any sense on the scale warrior cats is at, though. The cats are working with extremely limited resources (only a couple dozen cats exist in any clan at most at the time) and only need to wait a few months before the kittens can train. Additionally, this as a tactic doesn't hold true, as many kittens are implied to have died in actual battles.

[@No-longer1]

Child soldiers have been documented before in multiple places, but I don’t know if it has ever happened before some type of gun has been invented, considering handing a 10 year old a gun is easier than trying to teach them how to brawl with an adult .

[@streamtheshapeshiftingfox3659]

6:09 Maybe they suffocated Mosspaw? With them being similar sizes due to still being babies and still fluffier due to not growing fully into their limbs, the two kittens could have tried to tackle and hold down Mosspaw, and his squeals could have been his gasps for air that they didn’t realize was more dire than just a ‘get off me!’

Also... bad people aren't logical, like at all. It's all about control, Scourage controlling families and stripping any source of loyalty not to him. Brokenstar blaming dead kits on Yellowfang.

What bothered me about the attack on WindClan, especially from Badgerfang’s perspective, is that he was still a kit. Surely the WindClan cats would’ve known he was a kit, heck FIREPAW was able to tell that a ShadowClan “apprentice” was still a kit and managed to avoid both fighting and killing the young kit. Why didn’t the WindClan Warriors see the difference with Badgerpaw, especially with kits constantly being described as fluffier and having “kit fur”, AKA, ultra-fluff?

Personally I always saw Brokenstar’s anger pushing him to do these injustice things. Sending in kits of these cats who treated him like dirt as a kit and even chasing elders out who treated him like garbage when they were still warriors too. It’s an interesting parallel. Yellowfang and even Crookedstar were all treated terribly but in the end they prove those things happening to them doesn’t mean they need revenge. I know that’s not the real reason though. They just have to make villains look worse than the heroes, like way worse to make a “threat”. It’s exhausting.

Unfortunately, we have to use our imagination to fill in the gaps left by poor writing but hey, at least it's fun lol. In my headcanon, cats stay the same age in StarClan that they died at, but any conditions that they had before dying that caused them suffering are "healed" there. That's why Bluestar seemed younger in StarClan than Yellowfang which someone in another comment mentioned, Bluestar was suffering mentally when she died so she "reverts" to a previous state where she was happier in StarClan, but Yellowfang died happy so the only thing that changes is maybe her fur is neater and she seems overall healthier and more energetic. This also means that disabled warriors who were at peace with their disability when they died stay disabled in StarClan, but obviously the authors didn't choose that for some disabled characters (like Briarlight regaining the use of her back legs). As for kits, they stay kits physically for the aforementioned reasons, but they can become wiser over the moons, which is why Fluttering Bird seems wise when she talks to Clear Sky and Grey Wing because she's technically the same age as them and has been learning alongside them, albeit in StarClan.

[@uglyfense7754]

Regarding Smallstar, he didn’t just age in StarClan, he outright grew up entirely in one day. Something to note is that they’re said to be the cats that “would have been”, which to me implies that they are not, that they don’t actually exist, just being apparitions from StarClan.

I feel like Badgerfang was able to end up with his warrior name in Starclan due to the manner of his death, and the inherent cruelty (on the part of Brokenstar) of it; what warrior ancestor could deny a warrior name to an apprentice who is using their last moments to request it of their mentor? Even if the kit couldn't realize how awful his short life was (for it was all he knew, he had no prior experiences to compare it to), could Starclan not grant this one mercy as the one act of goodness for an apprentice too young to comprehend the tragedy of his (too short) life as a warrior cat? Also the fact that he voiced his thoughts to his mentor and that Flintfang accepted it and reassured Badgerpaw is probably what made Starclan do it in the end, using the reasons I mentioned above as their reasoning for it. Because really, what's Starclan gonna do? Tell this kit who just died horribly "nah even though you were killed you still don't get a warrior name because you didn't have a warrior ceremony and just telling your mentor the name you want as you die doesn't count" just sounds bad (not like Starclan's unfamiliar with making bad decisions, but hey, they can be reasonable. Not very often, but they can be. We can just say this is one of those times.) I also thought that when Smallstar/Wolfheart/Runningstorm faded that they faded back to the Starclan of their universe or some shiza like that; like they came from some alternate universe/timeline where they didn't die as kits and they went back to that Starclan. 😂

Aside from the three that was in the code of the clans, I had thought that perhaps the cats existed in Starclan in the state they were most remembered by. When it comes to Badgerfang, it was his mentor that sealed his fate as a warrior, his mentor that cared about him and felt terrible for what had happened. And while the mother would have remembered him as a kit, she wasn't with him at the end, and Badgerfang believed he would be a warrior enough that it happened. In which case, the perception of living cat's might have an effect on the way the kits are presented in Starclan. It certainly does have an effect on the cats that fade away once they're forgotten. The code of the clans however...I guess we could say that those three appeared as they did only because an example needed to be made. Perhaps the one time that the rules could be bent.

Finally! a new post.

I always interpreted Brokenstar’s actions towards kits in the clans as a sort of “ this happened to me, therefore I’m going to take it out on you. “ This is something that happens in real life with actual abusers. It is completely illogical, but the feeling of punishing others for something that happened to you-either out of jealousy or something else-is something that can happen. Brokenstar was raised by an abusive foster mother, and killed his own father. While this idea is just a headcanon, it gives some kind of method to his madness. Least in my opinion.

I've requested Heatherstar a couple times now, and I still think she'd be a pretty good candidate for a talking/mini talking video. She's most prominent in Tallstar's Revenge I believe, and I've always had a bit of a dislike for her. At the beginning of the story she's obviously incredibly biased towards moor runners, having been one herself and also having a moor runner deputy who seems to have the same feelings as her. Most importantly, she breaks up the age old traditions of having moor runners and tunnelers as separate roles-- which I find pretty odd, since it's because someone died in the tunnels, but... we've heard of people dying in the tunnels before, and this was CERTAINLY much less disastrous than past cave-ins. If it was for a different reason in the books, like not having enough tunnelers, that was HEATHERSTAR'S fault for not making many kits tunneler apprentices. For crying out loud, she makes Tallstar a moor runner apprentice even though both his parents were tunnelers and wanted him to be one. This is mostly for Tallstar's sake, but the fact still remains she's obviously biased. But, that's just my opinion, and I'd like to see yours explored in a video. (also, sorry If this was broken up weird-- I didn't want it to just be a wall of text.)

Can you please do Needletail? She is so spunky and sassy and I love her!

[@PinkSparkleLps]

I assumed the 3 kits who drowned were shown in a dream to be leader ect ect to tell the clans “this couldve happened if you didnt let them die. That one couldve been a great leader” and not that they just magic their way into adults

[@boyinblue.]

I was so mad when I actually read Yellowfangs secret, the Fandom makes so much of Badgerfang. But he is literally there for 2 seconds.

I LOVE BADGERFANGGG

[@crumblyairship]

[@novafiregalaxy204]

We expected that our youngest cat Elvis was going to be smaller than the average cat because he hardly grew for about 6 or 7 months 😂😂. When we brought him home at about 4 or 5 weeks (his mom was very sick and not able to care for them anymore.) He was tiny. He also didn't meow, he squeaks. Back then he sounded like a mouse and looked like one too. We thought our second oldest would eat him because of this 😅

[@Danmeilover69]

My sweet baby Badgerfang

[@demonstarcatzzz723]

We should really get a talking video about brightheart. She is a more major background character and has a very inspiration story of overcoming her injuries with the dog pack and learning how to still be a warrior, although the authors were unfair to her when they never gave her another apprentice after jaypaw. And she has a cute, pretty much entirely healthy relationship with cloudtail (ignoring the whole daisy thing) not to mention SHE HAS A MUG.

[@kkinzio.]

can you talk about hawkwing? hes a pretty underrated charcter and i dont see him on your channel much, and hes a pretty good character in my opinon :3
