Truthfully I believe it was a poor mistake on the Erin’s part with the fan service. You can’t have an author bow to fan pressure and do what they want because it changes and it would hurt the story if it’s not something you had in mind. You can’t have an author finding out that people already know the outcome and drastically change the direction at the last minute because it’s unexpected. When your an author you have to be in charge of your story but also take in criticism from critics and your fans and decide wether to use it or not. I learned this from a channel called *“Terrible Writing Advice”* I really recommenced it.

Honestly I was very uncomfortable with the SpottedXFire ship. I didn’t like how she continued to be like ‘Don’t forget I love you’ and EVERYONE finding out that Firestar and Spottedleaf are in love. And how this man continued to be in love with her even tho he had a mate and she had been long since dead. I was kinda relieved that Spottedleaf kicked the bucket for a final time. Sandstorm was the better option.

But the “romance” between her and Firestar just seemed like some stupid fanfiction written by an 11 year old. It felt forced and unneeded. I mean, Sandstorm was a love interest from the start wasn’t she? Did the Erins really need a pointless love story between the two? Not to mention she was dead and over 2 YEARS OLDER. I wish someone would’ve told Fire that love at first sight doesn’t exist 🤦♀️ especially if the only compliment you have for them is that they “smell nice”.

Spotted and Fire never made sense to me when I read the original series. I didn't see the chemistry. Sure, I believed Firepaw/heart liked her (he thought about her and wanted revenge) but I never got the feeling she liked him back the same way. It is too bad that the series never had Firestar move on and stop thinking about her. That would have been growth on his part. I think the authors tried it in Firestar's Quest with Sandstorm bringing it up, but then the authors just had Spotted return and Firestar keep thinking about her (as you mentioned in the video). I think even Cinderpelt told Firestar to think about the cats he did have in his life, meaning Sandstorm (and herself) and stop mooning over Spottedleaf. I think instead of Spottedleaf dying for Sandstorm in the Dark Forest battle, Yellowfang or even Cinderpelt could have done it if it had to be done. They felt like they had a relationship with Firestar more than Spottedleaf ever did in the main series (guides set aside as "optional reading".)

I don’t really think Spottedleaf and Firestar was exactly needed. It may have served its purpose as being a problem that Firestar had to overcome but besides that it was kind of creepy. Dead person continually stalks and attracts much alive person even after he proves he doesn’t want to be with her and gets a wife. That sounds like Spottedleaf has issues and has some kind of unhealthy, terrible, infatuation with someone she had nothing to do with. It may have not been her intent to confuse and pressure the cat but she still did it regardless. Now that I think about it Spottedleaf was being creepy. It’s creepy the way she always smelled so good and how she was so innocent and everyone loved her and how she wouldn’t stop visiting and reminding herself of some cat and his family despite the fact that she was obviously being creepy. She doesn’t deserve to be the Princess of StarClan no matter how much everyone loves her. Spottedleaf and Firestar’s “relationship” may have made Firestar more mature but it certainly didn’t really help Spottedleaf overcome her problems. Spottedleaf is still the same old cat she always was except she now knows that seeking more out of life after you lived yours and making your fantasies and all the things you always wanted to do a reality is bad and selfish. Oh give me a break. Spottedleaf didn’t have to haunt Firestar to learn that lesson. She was an adult that “got” preyed upon by an older man, not canon, she should know better that this would influence young Firestar’s mind. Firestar was naive and was still finding his place in the clan by the way. Just... fuck me. What an irresponsible woman! I think I hate her now.

Shoonami - In the video Quiet Rage states that Spottedleaf only haunted Firestar because she couldn’t let go of the fact that she had died so young. She never got to live her life so she tried to hold onto Firestar, someone that meant something and got to be young and do many things. So I guess she felt the need to look after Firestar so she could always be reminded of being free and so she could mean something. This still isn’t really an excuse for literally over staying her welcome but I guess I see what she was trying do. I guess I’m saying that that’s the reason she was a creeper. Not Thistleclaw’s grooming and preying of her, which is already a sensitive topic, but her yearning for a life she couldn’t have. Hope I made sense.

If you will, I think the reason firespotted took a turn for the worse was 1) bad writing (!!) and 2) retcons. Spottedleaf was clearly intended to be much younger originally (saying Darkstripe is old and she's young when she's older than him, like I said, retcons). Say, if instead of dying and being obsessed with him she instead guided him and was his friend, it'd be much better. Instead of this great love, she could've just been someone he looks to for guidance, and the story would remain basically the same with minor changes. Also, I agree that cats shouldn't have to choose, after all, even the erins said that Gray Wing probably picked both Slate and Turtle Tail. The whole thing is just ridiculous to me, and I just wish they handled their relationship better.

Pff honestly I never understood or liked the SpottedLeaf and Firestar ship. They barely ever talked and the only thing he seemed to like about her was her ‘sweet scent’. Kind of sad that he still kept obsessing over her, even when him and Sandstorm became mates. It would be nice if he stopped ‘loving’ her at some point, as part of his character development- Wait, wait, wait people are asking if Firestar picks Sandstorm or SpottedLeaf in Starclan? Come on.... I can’t even call it a proper question.

Times Firestar fucked up for those who think Firestar is a Gary Sue (the ones that I can remember): 1. He literally goes behind Bluestar's back to stop a war between clans, which lands him in trouble. 2. He held a major grudge against Graystripe when he was sneaking off to see Silvetstream. This also affects his ability to actually function around his friend, creating a rift between them in the process. 3. He is shown to be way to trusting and it gets him into trouble. 4. The times he feed other clans for the sake of wanting their cats to live. 5. The fact that he CLINGS to Spottedleaf long after she is dead is a huge flaw. 6. He was controlling when it came to Squirrelpaw and Brambleclaw. I think he lashed out at Bramble, but its been a decade since I last read the books.

I have an idea of a AU. What if Jayfeather and Alderheart (and possibly Leafpool) were actually never suppose to be medicine cats, but because Spottedleaf clings to every new generation of Firestar's line, the living cats ended up believing that that was their destiny. Cause seriously, when has 3 members from the same family in a row ever ended up with the same position within the clans? Also, it would have been way better if it was canon-ised that Firestar fell for Spottedleaf because she was one of the few cats that were kind and gentle to him from the moment he arrived, but then lost that crush after learning that she's a medicine cat/that she's uninterested in a relationship, and that she's kind/caring to everyone, not just him/not just because he's special to her, cause that's just who she naturally is/just how she naturally interacts with others. Would have been a nice lesson for young readers that kindness/someone caring about them doesn't automatically mean that that someone likes you/wants you as more than their friend.

I kinda have a theory, if spottedleaf was accually reincarnated after her second death maybe she could get another chance for a better life like cinderpelt. She then could either forget about firestar or be guided by him in the same way she guided him in his dreams and figure out her life issues or somethin' I guess it's fun to fantasize about spottedleaf from time to time :DDD

He was literally what’s considered a child/teenager in the Warriors books. Spottedleaf was an adult. That’s really predatory and it always bothered me. She died before he became a warrior, so the beginning of the romance happened there when he was a child and she was an adult. Yikes. No wonder the Erins later made a really distasteful and incorrect representation of child abuse in Spottedleaf’s Heart

He had kits with her, he got to love her and have a relationship with her. Spottedleaf was just a crush, like you said, it was like crushing on the school nurse. Not serious at all, and shouldn’t of even been considered as an option after death! He basically grieved himself into loving her too much, she also pushed it on him and partially manipulated him. Of course he’d choose sandstorm, because he at least loved her truly and on his own terms.

To be honest, Firepaw having a crush on Spottedleaf kind of makes sense. He's roughly the equivalent of a preteen/teenage boy in "Into the Wild", and we all know that teenage boys are attracted to young, beautiful women, which perfectly describes Spottedleaf. The fact that she's also one of the only cats to treat him decently when he's being bullied by his peers and superiors would have also served to make her seem even more perfect in his eyes. I also personally disagree with the people who claim that he "couldn't choose" between Sandstorm and Spottedleaf. Pardon me, but I'm fairly certain there was a scene in "Firestar's Quest" where he explicitly chooses Sandstorm. Just because he was upset over Mapleshade killing Spottedleaf in the Great Battle doesn't mean he's still in love with her. Like...he's allowed to be upset about the fact that he won't get to see his friend in StarClan, people.

Reading this series when I was little, I always thought of their relationship as romantic, same with cinderpelt and firestar. Rereading it now especially in the wild I can't find any hints of the romantic undertones I once felt, it felt to me that spottedleaf treated firepaw the same way leafpool would treat say alderpaw, or even to an extent sorreltail, she obviously liked him ( as in tolerated and enjoyed talking to ) but nothing more. When I was little, I didn't like sandstorm or spottedleaf with firestar but rather cinderpelt, while now I see sandstorm is the best possible partner for him, and that the others .. it's interesting how things change

You see, I was the opposite. When I was little, reading these cat books, I never say a romantic relation between the two. So I was surprised when I learned of the ship. I didn’t get why people would ship them. I still don’t get it but at least he never became mates with her.

same though!! When I was younger and read Into The Wild for the first time I thought it was a really romantic relationship, but I was re-reading the book earlier today and it didn't really mention much about firepaw's relationship with spottedleaf. There were only like three moments that showed his relationship with spottedleaf, and most of them were about how nice she smelled when she gave him herbs.

Yess she has a MOTHERLY relationship with Firepaw. People seem to confuse a cat being motherly or fatherly with romance.

@@NJackie she was five years old, regularly a warriors at that age would move to the elders den in a year when they are six, she is a medicine cat of course but that is definitely not “teen” age, she is a full adult cat while fire paw just got out of kit hood. Sorry for responding to a comment that is seven months old, just had to be said.

I don’t ship SpottedXFire. It is really dumb, honestly. It wasn’t cute, it wasn’t interesting to read until Firestar’s Quest, and it was only interesting because of how Sandstar doubts Firestar’s love for her. It was extremely uncomfortable on how Spottedleaf always visits Firestar in his sleep and *she smells good.* I was quite relieved when she finally died in omen of the stars. SpottedXFire isn’t love, it’s just a childhood crush that Firestar can’t forget and a life that Spottedleaf couldn’t have.

"How often do you see something go so wrong that it loops back to the other side of the scale and has a positive effect?!" I think that's what they're trying to do with the new series. And it's working, godammnit.

I never really liked the Firestar and Spottedleaf at all,espescially when she died and kind of just followed him around. I really hated it when they kept bringing her back up in Firestar's quest when he already had a mate Sandstorm. idk but it just really annoyed and creeped me out.

Exactly! She even followed both of Sand and Fire's kits! Im on Starlight (about 3 books away from where my country is in the books currently) and the three books before she talked to either Leafpaw or Squirrelpaw. I hate her ._.

@Master_Blue120 I get your point,Imo I never really liked how the Erins deal with the love relationships in warriorcats,I like a few of them but most of the time it gets annoying and boring usually making me stop reading for a while,but yeah honestly thought it was very unnerving for her to just..follow him and his daughters around.It definitely could've been handled better

@@whitleyspencer7375 I know this is responding way late but... what if Spottedleaf had thought of him as a son or a brother instead of a romantic partner? Would it have been as unnerving for her then to follow him and his family around? I honestly think given their ages that would have made more sense.

Imagine theres a man. He started dating a girl in his early adulthood. They have adventures together, travel, fight by each others side, and develope their characters with every argument they have, allways comming out as a stronger couple after it. They marry and soon have two amazing daughters, and they spend their years watching them grow up, and have a family of their own, so now they have 3 beautiful grandchildren... ...and then when he's dead he has to make the dicision of beeing with his wife OR his highschool-crush, the girl that smelled nice and that laughed a couple of times about his jokes when they sat together in the cafeteria. ....man, I would have no Idea who I would pick.... But I get it, the best romance is allways the once in your head. Fire and spotted are a great couple because they NEVER WHERE a couple. Sandstorm and him where great, but of course not perfect, because every relationship faces problems allong the way. That's why the "What could have been..."-romances are so appealing. They can be as perfect in your head as you want them to be. I just wished the erins would have addressed this instead of having an unnessassary tragic death.

I'm suprised you didn't mention the scene in Firestars Mission, if I remember correctly, Sandstorm confronted Firestar about his dreams with Spottedleaf and Firestar choose Sandstorm and Spottedleaf admitted, that it could have never been anyways. For me personally, that scene kinda ended the triangle. And that's why I hated the last book of season 4. Like, the ship that was already over had to be brought back as I guess a reminder that it even existet (?!) and was enden again in a much worse way than before. Then again, the whole season finaly was kinda a let down for me personally becase I hoped for so much more that was hinted on earlier and never got that. But well, that's what fanfictions are there for XD. Anyway, the video was awsome and I'm sooooo glad you're back and also having the semester break to enjoy ^.^

also the age gap is pretty uh creepy. in the original series it might have been intended that she was around the same age as firepaw but due to bluestar’s prophecy including her it makes her a fair bit older than him. probably an accident on the writers part but then again they don’t seem to care about age gaps at all lol.

Tbh I have no idea why people just started shipping fire X spotted because like fire paw was a apprentice when he joined the clan, and spotted leaf was a full grown medicine cat.. To me it's like having a crush on their baby sitter ngl
