I failed to mention, Mintfur Skyclan is actually a much more relevant character than Mintfur Riverclan, featuring heavily in Firestar's Quest when she's a kit and being important in the AVOS book "Darkest Night."

[@ediblemonster4219]

I'm simply going to lie to myself and say Mintfur of SkyClan is her super secret mate and they made Mintfur of RiverClan to cover it up lol

[@admiralensin.]

@@ediblemonster4219 that would be funny

This video didn't age too well, considering she's leader.

As the number one Beetlewhisker fan you cannot imagine the sheer delirious madness that descended on me upon actually hearing him referenced in a genuine capacity after OOTS and a real cameo from Icewing

Beetlewhisker appreciation ❤

[@GingerwillowTheFeatheryOwl]

Beetlewhisker is awesome and I am pleased to join you in this world domination.

[@queencharlene]

I didn't remember that part where Icewing protects mousewhisker from the dark forest cats, but rereading that and knowing she's beetlewhisker's mom gives new insight to his character. That must be where he got his moral compass. Beetlewhisker is one of my favorite side characters, so now I'm excited to learn more about his mother

[@ribottostudio]

It's not just Mousewhisker, but cats like Thornclaw, Blossomfall seem more changed after their time in the DF too. Blossom isn't as quick to snap now, but still pretty distrusting of strangers along with Thornclaw but that makes sense.

[@imaginarylivingbody7154]

Icewing only mentioning Beetlewhisker makes sense to me, since like Bristlefrost, it seems like his entire existence was erased when he was killed in the Dark Forest. She could see her other children in StarClan, but can’t ever see Beetlewhisker again.

[@Topdoggie7]

Ouch.

[@jadetheace]

When thinking about suggestions for talking videos, I thought of Foxheart since I think it’s funny how a warrior got a name that’s basically a common insult. (Though I think cedarstar meant to name her for her fierce spirit and what not)

I actually think Icewing is being setup to be the leader. And I kinda hate that the RiverClan cats are being like "Oh my god you're so loyal to Tigerheartstar!" as if she LOVED being in ShadowClan and not there because she was banished by an idiot leader for doing the right thing. Icewing SWEEP.

[@fernsong8558]

I mean, looking at it from their view, Icewing is basically Tigerheartstar's puppet in RiverClan, and he seemingly only picked her to be co-leader because she was one of the few(?) cats to accept him, even if she did fight briefly against him. I dunno, I may be biased, I just think THS shouldn't have stuck his nose in their business

[@Celeste-jh2lj]

Was thinking the same thing. Like the way they treat her like she choose to go to shadowclan. I like her and shed make a good leader

[@zeatehkcasualaccount]

a very kind cat, i’m surprised we haven’t gotten more about her.

[@fozzyspots]

okay icewing has officially become a fave. icestar time. also, cloverfoot and icewing rarepair wives.

[@dawnsunlight]

I saw someone on the Warriorcats forums state a headcannon they had about Cloverfoot and Icewing just casually flirting with each other whenever Tigerstar isn't in camp and I have an urge to draw that now

[@MatiNuva1724]

​@@dawnsunlightI dig that headcanon

[@sophiali4145]

If you're taking suggestions I think a video about mousewhisker would be cool. He obviously has some sort of relationship with minnowtail and the authors totally forgot about it after they realised hes a background chatacter. Not to mention, all his siblings are dead, and he has a terrible dad (just like all of daisy's kits)! Also the way he and hazeltail look identical brings me so much joy.

[@_exolite]

Icewing has always seemed noble and I’m glad she’s getting more attention.

[@juliawertz5282]

3:25 Moon's voice for Mapleshade here is always my favorite part of this video, it's so expressive and NASTY and I really love it

[@Dustii3421]

she sure is relevant now

[@DragonfruitandDragons]

I think a really, really under appreciated character is Jagged Peak from the DOC. He's forced out of Clear sky's camp because he has a damaged leg and is also the only reason on why Greywing leaves the mountains.

[@SoraDarth]

WE GOT ICEWING LESS GOOO

[@DemonWolfAJ]

If you're taking suggestions, I think Nightstar would be interesting to talk about. Though he's relatively minor, he's endured through a lot, whether it was having Foxheart as a mentor, Brokenstar as an apprentice, Clawface as a brother, suffering from an illness that confined him to the elders' den at a very young age, and being exiled from ShadowClan. I believe he was also the only cat in the series to be rejected by StarClan to receive nine lives.

[@spinosauryx1915]

THIS!!! Nightstar is one of my favorite characters and I hardly hear anyone talk about him. I'm so happy he got a graphic novel

[@chxrryfxygo3630]

He's not the only one to be denied lives (since sunstar was refused a life because pine was still alive), but he's the only cat to be denied ALL of his lives iirc

[@grindergears]

Kind of sad that icewing can't be the riverclan leader One because icestar is a cool name and second she just seems like she cares about her clanmates has dealt with a lot of death and is level headed Also she prevents nightheart from becoming leader

[@MatiNuva1724]

Well well well.

[@heisenbachofficial9437]

Also, apparently she is a great singer.

[@CrazyWarriorCatLady]

On the warriors wiki for April Fools Day, there are a few jokes made regarding some of the cats. For example, Curlfeather’s main picture is a bowl of dog food. How hilarious. Icewing was given a joking page too. This leads me to believe that she will indeed have some significance as only significant characters are given joke pages for April Fools.

[@waddle..666]

Thank you for briefly mentioning Grasspelt! I love him so much, would absolutely love to hear more about him even though his character is very small and he really only has two lines, I think it's so interesting he apparently had a friendship with Bumblestripe and Briarlight even though he's from Riverclan and it's only mentioned once.

[@ReemTheTheme]

Ngl I don’t read warrior cats anymore but I like listening to you talk about them. The passion you have for the books and your calming voice makes it really nice to listen to while doing something else. Idk I like listening to you talk about warrior cats and how you go on these rants! It’s so nice to listen to and I have to say thank you for that

[@cultspina]

obsessed with icewings ball tail. what an icon.

[@saline-fin]

Er. I guess Spoilers for Star in A Starless Clan rewatching this after the final book(i think) of ASC released and the fact Moonkitti said that Icewing being temp leader "guaranteed that she wont be the real RiverClan leader" it's so silly like. "oops. all Icewings." i, honestly, also just really like that she's Icestar now cause Moonkitti made me love her so much like she's such a silly cat tbh

[@littlebluecomet]

Omg I’m so glad I’m not the only one who noticed Mintfur (RC) just VANISHED without a trace, thank you for presenting this to the entire fandom

[@doc-savage]

I feel like this video is going to age really well

[@cloudytea.]

Hey Moonkitti! Can you please do a mini-talk/talking video about Thrushpelt? He had a crush on Bluefur and didn't flip out that Bluefur liked someone else, unlike AshFur. When Bluefur told him that she was pregnant, he automatically took on the role of the kit's father, and I'm not sure this is Canon or not, but I think Thrushpelt took care of Mosskit in StarClan. When the kits went missing, it was said he mourned like a father. He is also an underrated character and is just a good boy. Edit: To also add, as a bonus reason, there isn't too bad of an age gap✨️

[@DragonInABag]

Yeah I agree!

[@Windpurr]

I feel like the omen of the curled feather by the moon pool was about icewing not curlfeather. It's mentioned how it's frosted by ice then a bunch of feather fly away like wings! Come on let us get another girl leader!

[@spooooox]

YUS! Icewing has so much potential it’s exciting to see more of her in the books

[@redunderscore]

One of my favorite one-off cats is Cody, the kittypet who helps Leafpaw when she's trapped in a twoleg cage in Dawn. Maybe a mini-talk about her? ther might not be much to talk about tbf i just like her :)

[@unknowable4147]

At one point the subtitles say 'Tigerstar took her in after *Rusty* kicked Icewing out' and just wow the thought of a long vanished rusty kicking out a cat from the feared clans for absolutely no reason is very funny to me

[@dawnsunlight]

Thank you for talking about Icewing! This video's existence makes me incredibly happy! Though, as someone who is way too obsessed with Icewing, I would like to say that she does actually do things in arc 6, she's one of the four RiverClan cats taken prisoner by Darktail in book 3 and is one of the cats who goes to bring SkyClan back in book six.

[@leomorris7573]

RAAAAAAAA ICEWING SWEEEEEEEP i have been obsessed with this goddamn background character since 2018 and the preview of shadow feels like fanservice for me specifically. i actually cheered out loud when she told duskfur to be quiet and that theyd get a chance to fight back against tigerstar later because like woah! a warrior cats background character with a CONSISTENT PERSONALITY TRAIT??? its a miracle. one thing i would like to highlight is that, on top of seeming to have a pretty consistent moral code, shes also very consistently sneaky as hell and seems to prioritize the safety of herself and others over speaking out for whats right. i feel like we can glean this from her moment with mapleshade in the dark forest, her being one of the riverclan cats to quickly cave to darktails loyalty pledge (and then fighting against the kin the moment his strongest warriors were out of camp), and then that moment in both sky and shadow where she's trying to dissuade everyone from fighting tigerstar. personally, im preeeeetty sure she doesnt actually have loyalty to him (see her fighting against him when he actually started attacking riverclan) and is just trying to get her stubborn as rocks clanmates from getting themselves hurt or killed also yes: finding fanart of her is insanely difficult. i also know way too goddamn much about every minor scene shes in because i took it upon myself to write a novella abt her and ended up rereading every single book she features in.

[@dawnsunlight]

Oh you wrote Icewing's Oath! I love that fanfic it's so good!! It's actually influenced my own headcannons about Icewing because I particularly adore some of the ideas in there like Icewing talking to Ivypool about their kids who died in the Dark Forest and Mintfur and Icewing's relationship drama after she tells him she trained in the Dark Forest, I now have both of those things in my headcannons about Icewing. I have a loose outline of a story in my mind that mostly sticks to canon except for the fact that I gave Icewing Harelight as an apprentice because I think it creates a very interesting dynamic between them and gives Icewing an opportunity to train an apprentice alongside her mate before he dies. I can tell you about my headcannons if you would like to hear about them.

[@leomorris7573]

@@dawnsunlight oh hell yea sick! i always love icewing headcanons. im glad you liked the mintfur relationship drama i made myself so emotional writing it. despite having no basis for what their actual relationship was in canon. literally making up a guy to get sad about. i was like, lowkey headcannoning her as mentoring one of petalfurs kits but it ended up falling outside the timeframe of the novella so i decided not to include it

i would love to see you do a mini-talking about petalfur if youre takin suggestions !! she doesnt have too much going for her admittedly, but shes just a lil sweetheart- shes the only cat who went to break the beaver damn that was nice to dovepaw/wing afterwards, shes grandmother to frostpaw, and i think its fascinating that both the riverclan cats, she and rippletail, that went on the beaver journey ended up not being able to be burried with the rest of their clan, rather dying in a place too far to carry them back. i also like to headcanon that she may be partially blind in one eye due to the thorn she got stuck in it as a kit, although that is definately not canon- she has a lot of room for headcanons, actually, and is just an overall silly kitty

Icewing is the best background character

could you do Tawnypelt next? Not really any specific reason for it, I just think she's a really interesting character.

[@elderlybrunch4169]

Day Two of asking for Sunfall/star, at least for a mini talking video :> I think he's really cool. He was the only one who cared about Bluestar enough to talk her through her grief and mental issues multiple times and even offered to train her himself after Stonepelt retired. Why'd he take such an interest in her? (I know why logically, Bluestar was the main character and she's *special* ) but from a narrative standpoint, why did he pay so much special attention to her and let her in on Clan secrets that regular warriors shouldn't know, like the amount of lives he had left and how he was only given 8 of them? He was a really good and fair leader, I feel like he's been the only TC leader aside from Bluestar in all of history that wasn't just a boring Honorable Good Guy™️ like most other Clan leaders are. I'm gonna ask on your future talking videos until my comment blows up. :)

[@peachymunmagenta]

Crack theory: Mintfur as in Icewing’s missing mate and Mintfur as in the skyclan she-cat are the same cat. If the way she is described as the skyclan cat is accurate to how you drew her, she colored her fur darker and somehow managed to color her eyes and lead a double life for a while between being Icewing’s loving mate in Riverclan and being her true self in Skyclan and finally decided she couldn’t take being treated as a tom anymore and ran away

I know you've probably been requested this a lot, but I would really like to hear you talk about Jayfeather. He's one of the only rude protagonists that we get at all in the main series, and I feel like he's a very debatable character. You either love him, or you hate him. And I wanna know what you think about him. Do you think his grumpiness is justified? Do you think he should have been made a warrior? I dunno, just think he would be a very interesting character to talk about.

[@s1lents0ng]

I think it would be interesting if you did a video on Reedshine. From the fan content ive seen of her, she was portrayed to be a "villain" for "stealing" Appledusk in Mapleshades vengeance when in reality she was one of the only innocent cats in that story. I feel like the majority of this fanbase treats her like a homewrecker when she was also lied to by Appledusk and did literally nothing wrong. Overall I think shes a very interesting side character who I personally adore.

[@SonarTheBat]

I'd like you to talk about Tom or One Eye. I have so many questions about them.

Pfffffffft I forgot she said the Kirito line 😂 Edit: I like Icewing’s potential as a character, she sounds like a kind, mostly gentle cat who wants to resolve things as peacefully as she can…..and yet she *still* ended up in the Dark Forest training with them. Why? What was her motivation? I can definitely see how someone who wants to see the best in everyone could be tricked into playing devil’s advocate for some pretty bad cats, but we never actually see that kind of development happening.
