What’s weird to me is that Cats like Firestar who frequently received prophecies when they were alive were all frustrated that the prophecies were difficult to understand. Now, Firestar is in Starclan, and suddenly his prophecies are as vague as Spottedleaf’s or Midnight’s. Is it a rule that once you join starclan, you’re not allowed to just speak clearly even if you wanted to?

Probably.

Why can’t StarClan cats just tell the living ones what’s going to happen and what needs to be done, instead of forcing them to figure it out alone? Their lives are already hell, why make them harder?

[@coyotix]

My theory is that the faded are where prophecies come from. In their third life (eleventh if they were leaders), their minds are muddled and after seeing so much, they know what’s going to happen. Their physical forms are faded, so they’re invisible and can not be seen by the living OR the dead, but they pass vague prophecies to StarClan via possession (that’s a thing so) and they are passed to the living.

[@TheBourneFreedom]

Personally, I feel that the 'ghost fading' aspect makes no sense. How can a cat be forgotten by its dead family, even if the living cats have? You can't simply forget your child, parent or loved one, especially if they are all in Starclan together. Personally, I believe that their consciousness would be 'transferred', to a different tier of the afterlife where they could be at peace and not have to deliver prophecies or watch over the clans, for their work is done (like an elder retiring). Another theory I have is that they are simply 'reborn' - and the cycle begins again like the transfer of energy. To be fair, I think Starclan cats were always intended to live forever, but the writers felt they needed to add this aspect for the 'final battle' story arc, as it contradicts what we know about Starclan from the earlier books.

[@StrawThatBends]

i think they added the whole second death thing because if cats didnt die a second time, StarClan would already have millions or even billions of cats in it, so they need a way to keep those numbers wayy down because it would just eventually have infinite cats, which would make it pretty hard to figure out who gives those vague prophecies

Id like to think there's another layer of Starclan. When a cat fades away from starclan, or their ghost gets stabbed by a dagger they move up to the higher tier(with the exception of dark forest cats) and can control the weather, and reincarnate cats. They don't have a specific form, just very powerful souls. OR There is basically cat gods. Makes sense, right? There's a heaven, but what about leaders or gods of the clans? The gods can control the weather that effects the clans and reincarnate cats. They can definitely see in the future and pass down the prophecies down to Starclan for them to pass down to the living cats, because the cat gods cannot speak to the living cats themselves, and Starclan hardly knows the cat gods exist. When the cat gods pass down the prophecy, a lot is lost in passing it down which is why all the prophecies are so vague.

4:38 -- somehow I remember there being something about it in Firestar's Quest, when firestar is hearing all the starclan flaws and he sees a really faint cat and bluestar's like, "Oh, yeah, she's fading into nothingness like the rest of starclan. And there's a fifth clan we don't really care about anymore, have a nice existential crisis" but maybe I'm just misremembering that.

I also remember i believe it was bluestar who said this idk?? But some starclan cat said during a gathering when clouds covered the sky the gathering stopped and the starclan cat supposedly told someone that starclan doesn’t control the clouds???

[@Brookfrr]

In the darkest hour didnt bluestar say something on page 263, “Star clan does not rule the forest.” “Starclan cares for every cat in the forest, From the blind helpless kit to the oldest elder lying in the sun. We watch over them. We send omens and dreams to the medicine cats. But the storm was no doing of OURS, we watch, but WE don’t interfere.” -Bluestar talking to firestar about chapter 13 when he was about to tell the truth about tigerstar but thunder interrupted the gathering ‘A sign’ as tall star says

I think the cats fade away when they're forgotten is a reference to the beliefs in Mexico. They remember their deceased relatives so they stay in the Land of the Remembered, and those who are forgotten fade away to the Land of the Forgotten. The movie Coco actually illustrates this nicely. Everything else that you mentioned (including the rules and stuff about fading away) doesn't make sense. Also, I heard that Starclan was very divided on Ashfur. ALSO, I heard that cats can choose what age they want to stay as (depends on when they were happiest in life, which explains why Yellowfang is really old) or to keep their injuries.

I think what Yellowfang ment was that he still cared for squirlfligt, so there a chance he would stop being angery at squirlflight and squirleflight(along with others) could forgive him. I don't think Mappleshade would be able to make up with appledusk or anyone else she had killed. Also, Ashfur going to starclan is a punishment.

My headcanon is that Starclan doesn't really have that much power, but they made think the clans that they do to be sure to be worshipped because they love it. Like, the clouds going in front of the moon aren't really Starclan doing, they're just clouds, they just pretend that's their doing. All they can really do is giving life. And they insist on keeping 4 clans because while the cats are buisy fighting each other, they doesn't have time questioning Starclan doing.

I don’t know about the already dead cats but in Crowfeather trial, they do actually start something. Windclan sets up a rock tower for all the lost windclan cat (and I believe the other clans do as well) and before gatherings, Blackstar lists off the cats that were lost during the great battle.

So, here's my theory: The creators of Warrior Cats don't actually pay that much attention to the plot [which is why we have overpowered characters like Firestar] and they just...don't plan out these things. Remember: The reason Warrior Cats is popular [at least to me, feel free to have your own opinion] is because it is targeted to *children* and a lot of people who read the books growing up didn't realize that it is weird with these things. To me, even though warriors is an amazing book series, it is poorly written at times...especially things with Starclan. Edit: Wow, this got highlighted? Thank chu very much!

I'm really glad that you brought up the concept of how it's kind of silly that they clans don't just combine forces- it's something that's been on my mind for years. If different clans had different traditions, roles, etc, then it would make SO much more sense for them to resist becoming one big clan, but really the only big difference (that I can recall, it's been years since I actually read the books) is that Riverclan cats like to swim and the other clans don't. There's so much potential with world-building in the series (both in terms of the clans and Starclan) that the Erins just never took advantage of...

[@kyliesmith2004]

Yay! I love your comedy videos, but these analysis ones are the best. To talk about Cloudtail and Mothwing, I feel like the Warriors afterlife is sort of based off of Christianity, which states that if you don't believe in God you won't go to heaven, no matter how good you were. I also feel like Starclan doesn't really exist, and is just an illusion the clan cats have. For example, a leader must starve herself before speaking to Starclan? Doesn't that mean she's really just hallucinating? If these things are true, any rogue, kittypet, or non-believer will never be able to see Starclan. ~Love, Cerealspoons

[@blossomnessstudios4446]

Well, medicine cats don't have to starve themselves, it is just the leaders that cannot eat before sharing with them. Good point though! I had never thought about it like that.

[@kyliesmith2004]

Blossomness Studios thank you so much for correcting me! You're right, and I apologize. Medicine cats don't have to fast before sharing with Starclan, it's the leaders that do. I wonder what sets medicine Cats apart from leaders that causes these rules to be set... maybe they just have a stronger faith?

[@blossomnessstudios4446]

Well, it is never very clear and the fasting thing is only mentioned a few times, so maybe it only matters on special occasions, like when a leader receives lives or when a leader asks for help from Starclan, so what if they only have to fast when they go to the moonpool/stone aside from the regular half-moon medicine cat meet-ups.
