I still think the fact that tigerstar got 9 lives despite still being clearly evil and self serving is reason to question starclan's judgement

[@sandywolfr26]

also the fact they didn't give lives to nightstar. Cuz brokenstar was still alive with one life. And we learnt sunstar had 8 lives cuz pinestar was still alive. Starclan has no good judgement.

[@HatfoxPrime]

​@@sandywolfr26 Was the legitimacy of Nightstar's leadership ever actually removed in-text outside of the questionably-canon guidebooks? Just as a refresher that puts it on the same level of trustworthiness as there being only four founding clans, the Warrior Code being fully formed by the original leaders, and Dovewing choosing Bumblestripe. I could have sworn it came up somewhere else but right now I can't find concrete mentions outside of Secrets of the Clans and The Ultimate Guide.

[@sandywolfr26]

@@HatfoxPrime nightstar died before getting his nine lives. It was how tigerstar became leader of shadowclan. Remember there was a sickness and tons of cats died. It was why nightstar wanted to kill brokenstar when everyone found out thunderclan was holding him. There was a prologue that showed nightstar and his medicine cat at the moonstone when starclan rejected nightstar cuz brokenstar still had one life. He was the only cat willing to become the leader after they kicked brokenstar and his followers out. This was during the prophecy begins arc.

[@HatfoxPrime]

@@sandywolfr26 I was almost sure I remembered a scene matching that description but I couldn't find it when I went looking yesterday. It's not from a TPB prologue though, if that's what you meant. (The prologue with Nightstar is during the sickness, not at the Moonstone.) I'm confident that none of the context for this was supplied during TPB.

[@sandywolfr26]

@@HatfoxPrime it was obvious by his reactions to learning brokenstar was in thunderclan. Tbh the writers really loved shadowclan being evil so that why they kept giving that clan evil leaders.

And maybe we could also have a plot twist where he didn’t actually die in the dark water…?

It’s funny, because I was thinking about this a little while ago on a drive home. Ashfur wasn’t always a horrible cat, and I think StarClan with Yellowfang’s push gave him the benefit of the doubt, which I think a lot of people do even when those on the receiving end don’t deserve it. One of StarClan’s biggest flaws is they’ve got a lot of good hearted, softies, naturally, but they’re seemingly high up in the hierarchy which has clearly led to some mistakes. Good in intention, bad in execution. This arc is proving that the clans need to not only consider their ancestors, but ultimately weigh their own decisions out too because clearly StarClan just as easily makes bad moves.

[@theemeraldfox2036]

Everyone important: *Worrying about what to do about Ashfur* *Yellowfang sipping tea in the background, avoiding everyone’s eye contact.*

[@RainfoxArts]

thank God that they finally said something about how much Raggedstar sucked..... Yellowfang held him in high regard in the original books so it made it seem like he was a good boy. I hope they actually get all this in the actual books tho.

[@testerwulf3357]

The book was written from the point of view of an abuse victim..of which most actually adore their abuser, give reasons for the abuse or don't recognize it as such, and even protect said abusers painting them in a higher light than they deserve or taking all the blame on themselves. Yellowfang was sadly just the victim of abuse that never fully got free.

[@TheRibottoStudios]

Even if StarClan piitied Ashfur that still doesn't add up because they let HOLLYLEAF into StarClan. Mothwing is right-StarClan exists. But the living cats shouldn't just blindly rely on them for everything for just...reasons. It's like people who are all "GOD WILL SHOW ME THE WAY" or "GOD SPOKE TO ME" oh cool story bruh. The living cats need to learn to rely on THEMSELVES to make decisions, NOT StarClan. And I think that's where Broken Code is going in the narrative. By the end of it all, I think MediCats will still be important, still receive omens, but the cats will decide as A GROUP about what to do on the omen, rather than just either doing nothing or just the leader making the choice. The clans will become like a Democracy of sorts.

[@rox_do_ur_animations]

man, I love your ideas! I would really love it would happen that way, I thought I was the only one who doesn't like that alive cats think that "StarClan will solve all problems :p"

[@indigoruby]

I mean another one of these articles talks about how its good for leaders to be the final decision makers because supposedly if the rest of the clan wants to do something wrong the leader has the authority to do the right thing instead. I disagree because more often the opposite happens - the clan wants to do the morally right thing and the leader doesn't.

[@Chiffawndue]

Ashfur tried to murder four cats in cold blood just to get his former mate to feel some heartbreak. Hollyleaf killed Ashfur to protect the secret.. then going to spill it herself. As well as she sacrificed herself to save Ivypool. That would’ve redeemed her in StarClan’s eyes. Ashfur should’ve never been let into StarClan. I haven’t read the entirety of the Broken Code yet, but if Ashfur isn’t killed a second time by the end.. imma be pretty mad.

[@ccondelli]

I love this. It summarizes what we know while adding a hint of speculation that is extremely likely to be true. Also, it's just nice to see StarClan developed a bit more, and to see how being abused can affect people in the long-run. And the bit about Hollyleaf being redeemed and how it's not fair to not give Ashfur a chance at redemption too... *chef's kiss* It makes Yellowfang's decision super understandable and makes everyone else in StarClan more likely to go along with it, because redemption is a good thing and StarClan wants to be fair (sometimes. I will also argue that Leafpool and Squilf's trial was totally unreasonable)

There should be a Super edition called Ashfur's fire

[@Nurylon]

I think Ashfur is so interesting because whenever I re-read the series from The Prophecies Begin, he reads as such a bright young cat who's brave with big potential. Yeah he's a background character but he's generally doing good acts when he's around; he's an adult for a long time before courting a love interest (compared to many warrior cats) which I think is refreshing, and when Squirrelflight and him *are* "dating" he's just like . . . the stereotypical warrior cat boyfriend, I guess. It's only after he's already developed as a person(cat) that he has . . . whatever the opposite of a redemption arc is. Turning 'evil' with his reject romance bizz and letting himself fester for forever. Being angry for extended periods of time like that can make you forget who you are; it's wild and scary to reflect on what you did later, if you get out of the situation--but I don't think Ashfur would have ever gotten that chance unless he left ThunderClan or something radical. I'm not gonna pretend to understand where he's coming from; or that it wasn't completely awful what he did; or that everything would have been better if Squirrelflight had just stayed with a cat who treated her more like a "girlfriend to protect" than an "equal to adventure and discourse with" (which I think is what she wanted from her relationships) because then she would be unhappy. But I think Yellowfang's interpretation of "he only loved too much" may also be . . . literally that; he didn't *do* anything bad until he went crazy after his girlfriend rejected him (cringe yikes though). I also think the whole imposter is Ashfur plot is a totally awful retcon about stuff he never cared about and is a bad use of his character

[@Clearsightlove]

I agree with you, the Erins should let him be in starclan in Peace, but my Interpretation is why He was Bad during the broken Code arc is of the fans. Simple as that. For example : Fans : we like thistleclaw He is cool and we have sympathy with him. Erins : oh no the fans like thistelclaw, that was not meant to be we give him a arc (spottedleaf arc) how He is a padophile to her so the fans not like him anymore Me: Erins why are you doing this to him? Same for ashfur Fans : why is He in starclan, he didnt deserve it (rage mod) Erins : oh the fans dont want ashfur like that, so we make him more Bad and more obsessed with squirrl. Me: Erins let him be how He was P. S i like thistle how He was and He didnt deserved how He turned as a pedho just because the Erins want it to.

[@fablethewolf825]

What's sad about this is that if the Erins had planned ahead, the Ashfur twist would have been a lot better. In the original series, he was your average kit and apprentice, then he was the jilted lover who went all Incelly before he died, and when he comes back he's gone full-blown cartoon villain. Not saying it's impossible, but it could have been fleshed out a lot better. Just to put it into context, consider the Star Wars prequals. Among many other flaws is the handling of Anakin Skywalker, who many consider to be far too whinny and bland to end up being the galaxies biggest threat. In my eyes, though, this wasn't necessarily a bad thing; I think the idea was that there was always supposed to be something off about Annie's behavior, enough that, in the real world, would be enough to have the other characters want to keep a much closer eye on him than they did. I think a similar approach would have worked greatly in Ashfur's favor, the impaction that he's always been dark-hearted and, in this case, was just biting his time until he was able to garner the power he needed to act.

[@xanthe_folf3511]

Quick question When people talk about the reason why Ashfur is evil they never mention his mum getting killed. I have a feeling that had a big part in his idea of revenge. When ThunderClan was fighting the dogs Fireheart/star got Ashfur (Paw at the time) and his sister to help with the fight and to use their anger to help them. Which is pretty much saying that revenge is good. And he was also part of the group of apprentices that killed Bone which exposed him to violence. When he got rejected her thought that he could get revenge because he never had any consequences.

I've always held the view that when a questionable cat is being judged by Starclan, there are three factors that are taken into account: - Ratio of 'good' to 'bad' - The attitude of the cat towards the warrior code and their actions - Whether the cat expresses and experiences remorse for their actions Using this criteria, it helps explain why Hollyleaf went to Starclan and Thistleclaw did not.

Have you read more of those articles? They're all very much worth reading to see what kind of messagint the authors are going for. Usually messaging that's pretty... Harmful though. Like an article that seems to imply the "the word of the leader is warrior code" is good actually (despite this being taken advantage of multiple times by evil cats for nefarious purposes) because then leaders can do the right thing when their clan opposes them on it. Although we haven't really seen that happen in my opinion. And also an article that seemed to imply that the cats will face some sort of negative consequences for not following the code well enough. It specifically mentions that cats keep "forgetting" to give thanks to Starclan for the life of prey (when I feel like it's probably the multiple authors who forget about that rule). Would love to see you talk about them!

Woah Finally Im Early, Ashfur loved SquirrelFlight so much that when he realised she had kits with Bramble he went crazy. Holly Leaf didnt really know what had happened and had only been there when the fire started. So naturally, they killed Ashfur

[@ex8800]

Ashfur wasn'tevil, he felt rejected by everyone else. When squirrelflight became friends with him, he finally was accepted by someone. He took the chance to possess brambleclaw because. I'm too lazy to explain more

[@uglyfense7754]

He wasn't evil, but he still became evil, so he is, even if he wasn't born evil, no villain was

[@frankigoldwater4603]

I love your brambleimposter drawing!

[@movingchannels2203]

So what you’re saying: Yellowfang is a Southern Canadian?

[@charliepupper]

If they let AshFur in StarClan, then what would happened when SquirelFlight goes to StarClan? She’ll be uncomfortable, that’s stupid… 😒

Wow, I am as old as the debate, well, a year younger than it

[@meulware]

Um... Girl go play with sand or something.. Lmao

The stars were disgraced by the cats who claim to rule them.

[@bluesheep7]

I'm starting to believe that the only brown tabby tom we can trust is Crookedstar. Great video Akira!

[@christinafrazier1364]

Wow, I wonder where we’ve heard of a brown tomcat leader being abusive before writers?

[@a.kitcat.b]

I was always confused until I learned that these supposed wise cats are just worse versions of themselves when they were alive- They just don't have the burden of morality.

[@Peyton_S]

So Ashfur was let in without a trial after he tried murdering his own leader and his ex and her children and Squirrelflight and Leafpool were almost sent to the Dark Forest for helping each other when it came to the three? Come on StarClan!

[@ShinoriDelfrim]

Firestar was said to have actually lost a life so technically Ashfur (And Hawkfrost) did kill him but anyway he really doesn’t deserve to be in Starclan!

[@Lays487]

Irrelevant but how dako drew yellowfang was so cute

[@MissDako]

Relevant for me!! Thank you :D

[@Lays487]

@@MissDako Yw!

[@FiggyG11]

another point here akira. SHREWCLAW! In Tallstars revenge he was an absolute foxheart, going so far as to hurt Tallpaw in a training session. But at the end we see him in starclan, and he even gives Tallstar a life
