Nate Speaks: My Top Ten Warrior Cats LGBT Headcanons!

[@Draikinator]

1. Let me try to nip this one in the bud; I call Redtail a calico throughout this, but he's technically canonically a tortie. Genetically a calico IS just a tortie with white, it doesn't change anything. male torties and calicos are sterile, so if redtail has a daughter, it makes more sense for him to be trans. 2. to reiterate, homophobic/transphobic or just rude comments will be deleted. this isnt your platform to be nasty. 3. please share all UR fave lgbt headcanons in the comments!!! I love hearing about them.

but what if part of the reason for sandpaw being so angry and prickly towards firepaw in the first book when graypaw states that she's not usually like that was because she was grieving after her dad's death? and she just lashes out at everyone and mostly hangs out with dustpaw because redtail was his mentor and he can kinda understand what she's going through? ...i'll see myself out sorry

I understand the Poly ship with Cloudtail, Daisy, and Brightheart, but I don’t like it. A healthy poly ship is all of the members equally liking each other and being comfortable in a relationship like that. With Brightheart however, she is shown not liking Clouds relationship with Daisy and jealous of the time Cliud spends with Daisy. Idk I just don’t like it

[@Draikinator]

she was at first, but when daisy talked to her and told her how much she admired her, brightheart felt bad for being jealous and they became close friends in canon! I just like the idea that as soon as brightheart realized like, a choice doesnt HAVE to be made, you can love more than one person, it was okay! and they have a big cuddle pile

[@nectar2636]

I know this comment was a year ago, but I say Brightheart, Swiftpaw, and Cloudtail as poly relationship. I never shipped Brightheart with Swiftpaw, only Swiftpaw and Cloudtail. Swiftpaw secretly has a crush on him, but "needs to NOT like him" in front of Longtail, since his mentor competes against Fireheart (who's Cloudtail's mentor). It's better than Daisy-Cloudtail-Brightheart poly ship for me, personally.

[@TheSlipperyNUwUdle]

Random Potato I always thought Swiftpaw and Brightheart were siblings...? Gee I hope not for the sake of this pairing. Edit: lol nevermind. Swiftpaw is Goldenflower’s son and Brightheart is Frostfur’s. It does not say who their fathers are on the wiki. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ honestly I cant remember every single kit in this gargantuan series.

As a transmasc person, closeted trans boy Silverstream makes me. Really uncomfortable. Considering her entire purpose throughout the three books she was alive in was to have babies and die, and that this video implies she would still be closeted when she was fridged, it leaves a really bad taste in my mouth.

Hey it’s me, the guy who said he/him lesbians aren’t valid. I came back here to apologize. Back then I was being fed a lot of misinformation by Kalvin Garrah and Blaire White and the likes. I know now that not only do pronouns not equal gender, but gender is a social construct anyway so people should be allowed to just do whatever they want with it. I consider myself to be a gender anarchist now, and I even use neopronouns. I don’t really know what prompted me to come back here and apologize, I guess I was just thinking about who I used to be and I was like “holy shit” so…here I am. I’m honestly typing this at like 7 in the morning so it may not be the best. But I am so so so so sorry. I’ve now learned to just stop giving a shit and enjoy my own life.

I really like your headcanons here, but personally they're not for me. I do like the idea of bi Sasha and Alderheart though.

Personally I'm not so into the trans headcanons (don't take this as me being transphobic!!

[@totallyawesomesteph]

I've always kind of interpreted Tigerstar a character that is incapable of feeling affection. I can't see him as ever being the kind of cat who would say "that's my mate" or " I'm in love with that person". that's just not the kind of character he is. His only goal was vengeance and a lust for power. Having kits was never an expression of love, just ensuring his lineage in case he was not able to achieve his goal of ruling the forest. Sasha was a convenient way of "spreading his seed", so to speak. She was female and willing to mate. That's the extent of their relationship. Un her mind, that's not obvious until she's already having his kits. Sasha is a hard luck woman. She's been through so much, a relationship, even one as uneven as what she shared with Tigerstar, was better than having nothing at all. I love viewing LGBTQ in warriors, but I can only accept so many of them as, in my mind, they're cats. The goal is to breed and keep the babies coming. That's why, when I hear complaints about how short the cats know each other before declaring their love for each other. I have far less of a problem dealing with it because they're cats, not humans. Hearts build in a different way.

[@totallyawesomesteph]

@UC6HSL--FOTQ_3zyjc2-3ezw no. My comment was regarding Sasha. I probably didn't make that clear. What I meant was, I can totally see Sasha making a far closer connection with Leopardstar after the gravity of Tigerstar's indifference finally catches up to her. I don't doubt she had feelings for Tigerstar, but one can only lie to themselves for so long. That's why I can't help viewing Leopardstar and Sasha as indirectly canon for the rather fast but very close friendship. I ship it so hard, omg. We need more of that

I’ve got a fun idea for a collide of Headcanons Basically mix the trans Silverstream au and trans Redtail and Runningwind as Sandstorms parents. Sandstorm is devastated at her dads death and furious at “RiverClan” for killing him. When she finds out that Greystripe is dating Siverstream, Oakhearts, the cat who killed her father, NEPHEW, she is furious at Greystripe and the two become enemies, and Fireheart is torn between the love of his life, and best friend/maybe also love. And once Sandstorm finds out that Tigerclaw, someone she looked up to as a great warrior, is the cat who really killed her father, maybe BOTH of her fathers if Runningwind still dies, she is absolutely destroyed, both by grief, and guilt that she pushed away both a friend, and her crush for no reason.

As for which cat i think is LGBT, i have to scream FIRESTAR. Sure, he matched with Sandstorm after she sees how he is acually more warrior than the rest of the dudes, but whatever happends to Greystripe Firestar was INSTANTLY at his side and helped him with everything he could, if Firestar had to choose between Greystripe and Sandstorm, i think he would hesistate but still go with Greystripe. As for him and Spottedleaf, in life it was kinda onesided with Spottedleaf knowing it cant work because of her duty and Firestar, back then Firepaw/heart, knowing but not really accepting that as well it was never meant to be. But after she died and start appearing in his dreams, hope started to grow until he accepted to leave Spottedleafe behind and go with Sandstorm, he has serious Problems choosing here and i think the fact he had kits with Sandstrom sealed the deal. So for me, Firestar is bi-as-fuck but tends to be more gay but since being straight is the norm, he accepted his fate but would drop everything for Greystripe. Dunno, they just had this instant connection i love and cherish???

Maybe Tigerclaw didn’t know his father only that he was a leader and when he finds out sometime before the first arc he hates Bluestar for it and doesn’t think ThunderClan should have a liar as their leader. It would also give more credence to Stonefur’s death, giving him even more of a reason to hate Mistyfoot and Stonefur after he sees them rescue Bluestar and then finding out they are her biological children. Maybe this gives him the idea that maybe he is the very thing he hates, a half-clan cat because he isn’t thinking rationally at this point. So basically what I’m saying is I love the Bi Bluestar AU

I can't agree with any of what you said about Tigerheart. In arc 4, he's clearly set up to be a villain, as he consistently manipulates Dovewing and even Ivypool to an extent, and then the Erins randomly changed their mind in the last hope. At the begining of arc 6, he's the honorable cat you described in the video, but then The Raging Storm happens and suddendly he's back to being manipulative and even kind of cruel. He was definitively not an improvement on Bramblestar.

[@gnomeconspiracy2122]

*stamps this video as canon* I love these videos fam. I can't wait to see more, especially a sequel. I love seeing stuff like this. Representation is so important. My favorite headcanon/AU is one about Hollyleaf. I can't remember where I saw it but it goes like this: Hollyleaf is a closeted trans boy. His obsession with the warrior code and perfectionist undertones are coping mechanisms, since he doesn't understand his feelings about his gender. Then, after he gets trapped in the tunnels, Fallen Leaves helps him learn to accept himself as a boy. Maybe Fallen Leaves is gay or bi and they have a cute little romance or something. As someone struggling with my own feelings about my gender, I really like this headcanon and how Hollyleaf was able to accept himself in the end. I just wish I could remember where I saw it.

[@kynewicker3256]

My fav LGBT+ headcanon is Nonbinary Littlecloud. Ever since I was a kid struggling with whether or not I was a boy or a girl, I always saw Little as Nonbinary because I just felt like it fit for them. Similar to my case, they still use their cis pronouns on top of they/them because they didn't want any drama over it (not that there would be anyway), and also because they wanted cats to focus on their medicine cat abilities, and not their gender, as it should be with transgender folks like myself. Look at us for what good we can do, and not for how we represent ourselves. Because just like with Littlecloud and how he gravitated towards his role after Cinderheart showed such selflessness to him and Whitethroat, it's the heart that counts. 💛 PS. They also thinks prey/food is the best medicine and I can't fucking disagree at all, the precious babe. They went through so much as a kit, and I can really sympathize with that. I also headcanon that the reason they weren't too disturbed with Flametail's death is because they saw so much death themselves as a kit. Even Yellowfang notices how unperturbed they are when they come to show her their injured paw. Starclan bless their soul, they went through so much. ❤ (ALSO SORRY THIS COMMENT IS GETTING SO LONG But thank you Nate for saying that NB people can use whatever pronouns they want. Means a ton to me and I bet a ton to your other NB subs. ❤)

Tbh, Jayfeather seems gay or ace to me. His relationship with Halfmoon was never really genuine in my eyes and it kind of seemed like he really perfered the thought of being with someone as to her. It's fine if you ship them but I personally don't. The gay headcannon is probably just me projecting and I don't have as much support for it as the ace one. Through out the story we see Jayfeather form a lot of strong, meaningful bonds with characters who aren't his romantic interests be it family or friends. He's extremely dedicated to seeing his friend Cinderpaw healed, mourns his sister's death deeply, and forgives those who've wronged him because he realizes what their affection has done for him. I feel like portraying ace characters with strong bonds to people is a very important message to ace consumers of media as I see them get portrayed as or called 'emotionally deficient' or something along those lines a lot.

I'm a tad bit scared if I say my opinion because I'll just get labels thrown on me like homophobic or transphobic (even though I AM Homosexual) but I find some of these unnecessary to make into LQBTQ+ (don't get me wrong I love Mothpool and Sasha x Lepord) with those you give reasons for I understand but Alderheart and Cloudtail was a bit confusing. I'm not meaning for me to critisize you for having fun but it's not your place for you to slap a label onto a character that's not yours without a reason. You being non-binary doesn't excuse you. It's like saying "I'm cis so I can put the cis/straight label on any lqbtq+ character I want!" Nate, I love your content but sometimes, I do disagree with your points.

[@Draikinator]

but it is different. There are over a thousand warrior cats and not a single one is trans, not a single one is officially acknowledged as gay. That's not an accurate representation of reality- with a pool of that many characters, SOME should be gay. something like 3.5% of the population is lgbt- lgbt people have been intentionally excluded from the cast. When an lgbt person writes or interprets a character written as straight by a straight author for a straight audience, they're creating content for themselves they were intentionally excluded from. If a straight person takes a canonically gay character and writes them as straight, you're taking one of the very few characters we get away from us. It's a very different situation.

[@idyllicrain7596]

Draikinator I understand your point but, like i said, I find it unnecessary for either side to interpretate a character of minority or majority into the other without a solid explanation. I couldn't agree with you more that Warriors needs characters of minorities. However, we need to understand these are young adult novels, so neither cis/straight or LGBTQ+ content should be shoved down their throat. Warriors doesn't claim ANY characters sexuality or gender, so it is very possible for Tallstar or Mothwing to be within the minority, just how it's equally possible for them to be within the majority. I have never related to a character just because of their sexuality, and nor will anyone else who is in the demographic for Warriors. I apologise for bringing up a touchy subject but can I please state I am 100% against homophobia and transphobia and it wasn't my intent to cause discomfort. I simply wanted to suggest my opinion that seems to not be popular.

[@Draikinator]

Trust me, based on the amount of harassment I have to delete every time I post anything gay: you are not in the minority opinion. How am I shoving it down your throat? You're the one who made the choice to click on a video about lgbt headcanons when you clearly don't like them. Why did you do that?

[@geezohman]

I don’t think they were saying you were shoving it down their throat, I think they were saying that the books shouldn’t shove cishet nor LGBTQ+ content down the readers throat. I somewhat agree with this but I think it’s kinda obvious that the writers are intending for most, if not all, of their characters to be straight and cis. In general terms I think yes, any character could be LGBTQ+ but it really doesn’t seem like the writers are intending that, which is the problem.

I made up a way for mothpool to work, AND for the three to be born. Ok so, leafpool in the second arc usually describes mothwing as beautiful or pretty, so from that information I can say that leafpool likes her. Now mothwing only sees her as a friend and leafpool excepts that, and she eventually gets over mothwing. After a moon or so leafpool eventually finds that she has feelings for a random thunderclan tom and they get together in secret, but after finding out that she is pregn@nt with his kits he d!es while fighting a ferocious rouge. Devastated leafpool gives b!rth and gives the kits to squirrelflight. Fast forward a year and leafpool is still single, after travelling to the moonpool and chatting with starclan, leafpool wakes up early and finds mothwing watching her, she asks mothwing what’s going on in riverclan and they start talking. After everyone else has woken up they agree to meet again tomorrow night. The next night they walk together, exploring new places that they have never seen before. leafpool finds that her feelings for mothwing are resurfacing and becoming stronger, while feelings of love blossom inside mothwings chest. After a couple more visits they both finally confess their love and mothpool is cannon. -the end-

Crookedstar as a trans man au Let me explain. Crookedstar is loved by his mother when he was a kit, but when he realized he was trans, as a kit, he came out to rainflower, and she throws him in the river, and blames it on him crossing the stepping stones, thinking he's dead but he washes up on the shore, broken jaw. He's renamed Crookes kit and MOST of the story happens the same. People never took attention to him until his broken jaw. People don't know he was a female at birth because of shellheart and oakkit and hailstar knowing he's trans, so the rest of the clan thinks he is really a boy. BUT Willowbreeze knows, and on the walk where (in the og story, Willowbreeze tells him they're going to have kits) they instead walk on the edge of the river, and they find a kit, adopt her and secretly take care of her, saying willowbreeze will kit. They tell brambleberry, who helps them. Willowbreeze dies, and because there's only one kit (cats usually have 2-5 kits) they say two kits died as well. In this au, the kit they found was bluestars kit, so its technically their kin. (Instead of mosskit "dying" Mistykit is just lost.

For example, when Firestar died in the great battle, Graystripe did grieve but not that much. But when Silverstream died, BOi he was upset. About the same range of sad emotions Barley had when Ravenpaw passes. Also there is so much romantic tension in their interatctions. Maybe if the Erins wrote it a little differently it wouldn’t be that way but they did! So, yeah. That’s my explanation for my LGBT warrior head canon. Sorry it was so long but I had to rant.
