Hey everyone!
Sorry, this one isn't gonna be off-the-cuff, so if you're disappointed… sorry.
There will be spoilers up to and potentially including A Vision of Shadows.
And yeah, I'm 22 and swear words are very ensconced in my vocabulary, so if you're
a young and you and/or your parents are sensitive to that, or if you're an adult and you're
sensitive to that, maybe don't watch, okay?
I got lots of repeats, but that's okay!
Just means lots of high-demand information.
Let's go!
I was about 11 and I saw Starlight in the bookstore.
When my grandma disparaged it because it was a cat book, I got the first one out of spite.
I really like Forest of Secrets, Moonrise, The Sight, The Last Hope, The Sun Trail, and
so far, Shattered Sky.
Tallstar's Revenge is my favorite special edition, and as much as Ravenpaw's Farewell
destroys me emotionally, Pinestar's Choice is my favorite novella.
Tallstar!
There are surprisingly few, as far as I've noticed, and I could say something about the
lack of redemption as it relates to villains in this series, but I'll go with Longtail
right now.
He was a dick, but he got better.
Eventually.
I could say a lot of different characters, but my answer ties into the next question
I got, so…
He's a whiny little piece of shit who does awful things because he can, and whips out
his freudian excuse card whenever someone calls him out on it.
Just as his fans do.
And forgive me for getting on my soapbox here, but your circumstances don't excuse shitty
behavior.
You're mentally ill?
You were neglected or abused?
I'm very sorry you have to go through these things, but you still need to own up to being
an ass and apologize.
Y'know, like a rational, mature person.
Tallstar, Cinderpelt, Sandstorm, Squirrelflight, Gray Wing, Pebble Heart, Hollyleaf, Yellowfang.
The kittypets are all generally the same, but I have a soft spot for Bob, Rose, and
Lily, the latter two only because we've owned a few Siamese.
Okay, I'll make it quick.
Graystripe: disloyal slacker thinking with his wee, still lovable
Crowfeather: a dick, not attentive parent, but he'll be an okay deputy, which is prob
gonna happen lbr Millie: great before she became a mom, then
becomes helicopter neglecter statistic Blossomfall: she's okay, kinda relatable
for me personally Sandstorm: best hunter and mom and i love
her
It's an interesting idea, for sure.
It makes me toy with this headcanon that StarClan and also the Place of No Stars are just a
giant collective consciousness creation; not real, but an idea made real by the strong
religious belief held by the living cats in the forest, only existing when they think
of it and therefore, the only cats able to exist there are ones they can think of.
Of course, that's not actually the truth.
Right?
I really love it so far!
We've come a long way from the train wreck that was OotS, and I can't wait for the
rest of the series to come out.
I've had a lot to think about with this question, and it's made me want to make
a whole video for it!
So if you were holding out for an answer here, patience!
It will come.
Oh, absolutely!
Gray Wing's death, Ravenpaw's death, Sandstorm's death.
Lots of parts in Crookedstar's Promise.
I've cried more at Warriors than just about any other fandom I've ever been in.
Oh, boy.
Firestar's deal is a childhood infatuation gone on way too long, Spottedleaf never should
have encouraged it in the first place, much less haunt his family until she was poofed,
and I'd be pretty pissed as well, if I were Sandstorm.
Your husband is so caught up on this dead girl he was never with, considering he was
a child at the time, that he starts to ignore you and obsess over her.
Sandstorm deserved better and I will stand by that for life.
I like Tall/Jake, Raven/Barley, Sorrel/Bracken.
I do also love some one sided Fallen Leaves/Hollyleaf, and I have a growing enjoyment of Holly/Cinder.
Literally anything else with Hollyleaf (mostly bc I headcanon her as gray romantic and ace),
Leaf/Crow, Tiger/Dove, Lion/Cinder are all things I just can't abide by.
I've written many a fanfiction in my time, and read loads more.
I'm not going to mention any, for fear of #exposing myself and my previous fandoms,
but I really love the passion and creativity that goes into creative fandom writing.
As for mature-rated fics and lemons— which I have not heard in a LONG time, and that
right there will date me horribly— I don't care man.
Write it and/or read it if you want, and it's never gonna go away as long as human beings
are alive.
None of my business, whatever greases your gears.
Hollyleaf or Cinderpelt.
Hollyleaf is my love and I identify and relate to her so much, but Cinderpelt was so sweet
and smart.
They'd both be cool to hang out with.
I could go on and on, really.
For a person who actually makes money off of Warriors videos on YouTube, I have a surprising
amount of gripes about it.
For example, few redemption arcs or even opportunities for not quite so moral characters, the vilification
of ambition, random background pairings with little buildup, consistent forgiveness of
terrible actions committed because of tragic backstories, only two types of villains despite
there being a growing number of them…
But don't get me wrong.
I still love this series.
The amount of talent, skill, and creativity the other fans possess.
Every day I spend a moment just in awe of what we've created and what we're planning
on creating, and it's (mostly) hobby work, as well!
It's not the least drama filled or the nicest, by far, but it's great to see all these
artists doing what they love with something they love.
That's Gray!
I'm not a particularly great artist, so it doesn't show well, but she's meant
to be a fat, fluffy Munchkin cat, just because I'm short and round, myself!
She's also gray because, well, I called my channel Gray Whatsit.
I couldn't exactly pick a dark ginger cat, could I?
She does have a backstory to her, so I suppose she's half sona and half oc; she was a loner
kitten who got separated from her family at a decently young age.
She went it alone, obsessed with RiverClan (or insert your own group of swimming cats
here), and eventually joined them, taking the name Silverstep.
She's also super gay but that's neither here nor there.
I got into it a long long time ago, since I started watching SMPFilms when I was barely
a teenager.
I wanted to make videos like that, then I wanted to make vlogs, then I started watching
Tennelle Flowers and LZRD WZRD.
Obviously with many, many years in between those stages.
I thought, "Hey, I really like Warriors and I have some things I'd like to say,"
and I just went from there.
Lots of things.
My art, my voice quality, my editing, my delivery, my scriptwriting… anything and everything
could be way better, and I try hard with every new video to make that happen.
I really like my Rainflower video, as well as the medicine cat code one.
I like the tone I managed to bring through in the first, and my art in the latter has
come so far from my first incarnation that I'm really proud of myself.
Don't make it a rant?
If you have something to say, that's great, but do try to be calm and mature most of the
time.
That's why I don't really feel comfortable with my videos being called rants, because
they aren't.
I put in my reasons and try to find examples, so it's more of a discussion topic than
a one-sided, "I hate this so you should hate it and if you don't I hate you,"
kind of thing.
As well, stay true to yourself with it.
Don't try to be the next LZRD WZRD, Tennelle, Moon, Tom, whatever.
Be the first you in the fandom, and don't go into it looking for fame and fortune.
Do it because you want to share and discuss and enjoy.
Get a good mic, research your topics well, and you don't have to have a script, though
oh boy does it help, but at least have a guideline for your talking points.
If not, it's going to be a little messy and disjointed, and potentially hard for viewers
to follow.
For this incarnation, the Gray Whatsit you know, the same people who inspired your dreams
of analysis!
I wouldn't be doing this if I didn't see other people doing it first, so I have them
to thank entirely for all of this.
I bought my way in.
Seriously.
Y'know that thing that Spencer put on his patreon that said you could get his Skype?
I picked that tier and bothered him until he actually watched one of my videos.
Past that, it was word of mouth and my work's own merit that brought everyone else in.
It's been a ride for sure, but I've made some great friends and a place for myself
here, so I'm not ashamed.
I adore Tennelle's channel, and not just because she's my friend.
She does great work, both in animation and analysis, she really knows her stuff, and
her longer videos like the podcasts are lots of fun to listen to.
(And I know you said besides yours, but too bad, you're on here anyway.)
I also love Stephen and Mallory Georg.
They're a couple in South Carolina who do vlogs, let's plays, and painting tutorials,
and the vlog itself has been going — with very few missed days, mind— since 2009!
They're mostly very family-friendly as well, and just loads of fun to watch.
Sorted Food I've been watching for many years, since near the beginning.
They're a bunch of British boys who cook and just generally have a good time joking
and hanging out while on camera.
I was training under a chef for a while, and have been cooking for years, so it falls right
into my interests.
I could keep going and going, since I have a million subscriptions, but lastly I'm
going with VSauce.
I'm a big science and math nerd, and the way the ideas are phrased and explained are
mesmerizing.
Not that it's all science— their videos on language are some of my favorites.
I really love to learn.
I love Harry Potter, To Kill a Mockingbird, Worldweavers, The Books of Bayern, and the
Princess Academy series.
The Graveyard Book is phenomenal, and Stephen King is pretty great, too, but I haven't
read any in a while.
I watched Haven, Warehouse 13, Gravity Falls, and Psych when they were still on almost religiously,
and I still love Steven Universe.
MBMBaM, of course.
Parks and Rec is up there, too, and Wander Over Yonder holds a special place in my heart.
No shame in liking content that's made for younger people, guys.
I mean, look where I am now.
I couldn't tell you for certain.
All I know is that I want to be happy, with people who love me, doing something that I
really love to do where I wouldn't lose interest five minutes in and won't be completely
destitute doing it.
It's probably a tall, impossible order, but you did ask.
I have two cats!
A tuxedo named Yvie and a flame point nicknamed Lazy.
If you were named after Lizzie Borden, I think you'd want to be called something else,
too.
Munchkins aren't technically a breed, it's a natural genetic mutation surprisingly not
caused by humans, so I'm gonna go with Turkish Van, Somali, or Siamese.
Yorks are pretty cool, too.
No, but not for lack of trying.
I've dabbled in Spanish, American Sign Language, and Swedish.
Purple and white!
Blue, purple, and silver.
You can have more than one.
Yeah, of course!
I've been baking my whole life, and I've made one at least once.
None of my family is super crazy about blueberries.
But still!
It's totally possible and it exists.
I like cats, foxes, and crows.
A crow is my patronus, actually!
Funny how that works out.
Hell yeah I like Oreos!
Peanut butter or red velvet, preferably, but I'm always down for a classic or thirty.
Good question.
I'm don't think I'm going to say, but I'll tell you this: it rhymes with Gray.
It's like… having two parents?
It's not much different than having two dads or a mom and a dad or whatever other
combination of two guardians can be.
The only difference is (considering they are both cis-gendered women) that we have to buy
more feminine hygiene products.
Yes and yes.
Listen guys, it's not up to just one person.
Y'see, it's Blixemi, Selina, Moon, and Tennelle who hold all the real power, so they
need to be in on it, too.
Besides, anything I may or may not have put in my twitter bio is a joke; it's a friend
group that you can't just push your way into, not some hyper-elite group of powerful
video creators that requires an application and vetting process to join.
