Nightheart - Blog Posts

Some Nightheart and Wafflepaw fan-art! Tbh I knew that (Spoiler) Wafflepaw was going to want to stay in ThunderClan even before I read Wind. And I also knew that Wasp would either move to RiverClan or go back to the park. Also I think Icewing will become Icestar bc of the vision that bee told Nightheart abt at the park when he was standing on ice and the river was ice. Anyway this took me 1hr and 30min so I do hope you like it.

Y’all I finished reading Wind. It’s so good! Some of the parts are…….boring….but I think every book has that. Lol. I am NOT happy that I have to wait till November to read Star! I hope y’all can read it soon. Ima make some tan-art sometime soon if Wafflepaw, Bristlepaw, Graypaw, and Stempaw. And maybe Splashtail and Curlfeather.

Here is Wind! I got it earlier today and I’m half way done! I love it and I’m very interested. I have some very good theories too abt what will happen to Frostpaw, Sunbeam, and Nightheart.

-my first theory. So we all know Splashtail (at the end of Thunder) claims he’s leader. What I think will happen is he gets rejected by StarClan and then exiled or murdered. Then I think Icewing will be leader because when Nightheart and Frostpaw went to the park, Bee said he had a dream that he was standing on a river of ice. (Are you catching on?) so I’m thinking that was a vision showing that Icewing is supposed to be RiverClans leader as Icestar!

I think Nightheart and Sunbeam will be in ThunderClan or whatever. I mean they got no more drama. (Other than Sunbeams parents and brother being in exile) but literally they are fine. Sunbeams in ThunderClan, Nightheart is with her, and everyone’s happy. Sooooo….unless they are gonna help Frostpaw then they are fine and there is nothing to theorize about. (Also I think they are going to have kits in Star or the ninth arc.)

I tried not to put anything from wind in this so not to spoil for anyone!

nightheart design

love my emo son

I drew this after River came out last year

I love this scene and Nightheart is definitely my fav character so far /ᐠ｡ꞈ｡ᐟ\ hes just so emo and edgy

finally getting around to reading asc and i finished river last week so i might make a little series out of this :))

i love them all so much atm, all three of them are really individual and stuff. probably the strongest main arc protags (for now) (i just started the arc) (lmao)

I rlly like 8 arc

I personally believe that Nightheart isn't entitled or selfish. I think he's just lonely and wishes to be accepted.

Like a lot of people.

Just read the first book for ASC so here are more warrior cat drawings!

These are actually really roughly drawn and colored since I'm just trying to envision how I imagine they'd look based from book descriptions so here they are

I definitely need to fix some things like how dark Nightheart's fur is and the shade of gray I use for Frostpaw's points but that's for another day

my opinions on random “a starless clan” cats as i just finished river

thunderclan

-Nightheart: the angry mommy issues man himself. love him. this is probably the closest we’ll get to a trans character in warriors. also surprised no one mentioned Bristlefrost when he failed his assessments as i remember Bristlefrost failing at least once. they could’ve made a good connection there.

-Honeyfur: pretty design i think, got salty at twigbranch once and haven’t heard from her before or since. 

-Bayshine: a sweetie, good brother-ish figure for Nightheart in my opinion.

-Shellfur: never knew much of anything about him but yay he’s got a gf now. happy for him. 

-Bramblestar: just step down already man. (i know he does, i can’t wait till i get to it).

-Squirrelflight: can’t wait till i get to Squirrelstar!!

-Bumblestripe: a jerk as always.

-Finchlight: a lil too over enthusiastic about the “greatness” of thunderclan. really shows how arrogant they can be tbh.

-Ivypool: wish i heard more from her.

-Fernsong: i wish we saw more of Fernsong with Ivypool. or any Fernsong at all tbh.

-Sparkpelt: i’m not really sure how to feel about her and her relationship with Nightheart. it’s definitely interesting though and something new.

-Cloudtail: him as an elder is amazing.

shadowclan 

-Berryheart: Spireclaw’s relationship with her hits too close to home. all i gotta say. also (proceeds to say more anyway) totally Mother Gothel-coded, there’s a pmv of her with “Mother Knows Best” that fits so well. “i’m your mother, and i know you better than you know yourself” (226).

-Sparrowtail: i kinda like how he sorta initially was on Berryheart’s side but now he’s really uncertain about her beliefs. interesting in seeing more about this relationship.

-Spireclaw: love him!! a sweetie! wanna see more of him and Fringewhisker. also interested in the tension with him and Berryheart over this. lowkey kin him.

-Dovewing: she’s not deputy, but i see her as sort of like a clan “princess”, y’know?

-Sunbeam: relate to her a lil, also i think she has the cutest name ever. at first i thought her unrequited crush on Blazefire felt like a repeat of Bristlefrost and Stemleaf but at least Stemleaf was nice. Blazefire was straight up gaslighting her about being concerning about Lightleap “pffft she’s fine bro you’re not the clan leader” aughhh

-Blazefire: this is why you don’t do friends with benefits guys.

-Lightleap: augh she’s so terrible but i love her at the same time. i love how a protagonist’s sibling can finally be explored upon with how the previous events from the broken code affect her psychologically. doing a psychoanalysis on her hehe.

-Gullswoop: haha just a gal who loves gossip. glad a she-cat background character can actually have a personality now. 

-Pouncestep: wish we heard more from her tbh. there’s shadowsight obviously and now the whole lightleap thing but we don’t know much about Pouncestep or how things have affected her. she’s just kinda.. there.

skyclan 

-Leafstar: please just let her rest. i’m begging. 

-Hawkwing: i want him to be leader already, i feel like he would be a good leader with all the character development he’s had in his super edition.

-Fidgetflake: his name is so cute i love him. don’t hear from him at all though really, i just like his name.

-Uhhhh that’s about all the skyclan cats we hear from.

windclan 

-Hootwhisker: bro really just yeeted himself over a stream into thunderclan territory for a vole.  

-Whistlepaw: she’s so sweet i love her. please Erins let Whistlepaw and Frostpaw be together. please. please. i’ll give you all my warriors plushies.

-Crouchfoot: i know absolutely nothing about him but i just thought that’s a kinda funny name. 

-Songleap: what.. is a.. song ..leap..?? how do songs…. you know what, nevermind. 

-Fernstripe: with her and Fringewhisker, and also Dovewing from before, i’m really noticing a trend with typically she-cats leaving their clans for toms. not sure how i feel about that. 

riverclan 

-Splashtail: a nefarious lil guy from what i’ve heard? very interested to see more of him, he reminds me a lot of Hawkfrost. i also have a suspicion that he faked the curled feather sign on page 215. i mean, Frostpaw went with just Splashtail and she heard someone walking around above the moonpool then finds the feather on the path. is it a fake sign did bro just pull a Hawkfrost. —or what if the sign was real but meant for Icewing, as it was a white feather, and that night Frostpaw dreamed about the feathers turning into “birds, whirling around her head like a blizzard” (219).

-Owlnose: just a silly lil guy.

-Mistystar: was arguing and literally fell and died. best death ever. rip the queen. 

-Duskfur: still mad at her over Mistystar’s death tbh. 

-Reedwhisker: poor man. all i gotta say. 

-Havenpelt: i just like her name. 

-Mothwing: if anything happens to her, Blixemi is gonna lose it. 

-Icewing: haha Wings of Fire name. 

-Curlfeather: such a pretty name tbh. she seemed so sweet but i heard she’s actually evil? interested to learn more in the next books. it may make sense, she seemed a little overbearing at times, maybe a cover? also Curlfeather suggesting Frostpaw goes to her den and Frostpaw immediately finding the 5-pointed dock leaf sign there (124-125) is kinda suspicious, i feel like she might’ve faked a sign.

-Jayclaw: died of “unknown causes” is a lil suspicious. right after Curlfeather mentions his death, the book says “a heartbeat later Curlfeather went on more briskly-” (18) and she changes the topic. i’m wondering if Curlfeather killed him after maybe he disagreed with her evil plans? could’ve pulled a Hollyleaf and killed him to keep him mute.

-Frostpaw: poor lil fluffy kid is traumatized, i just wanna give her a big hug.

-overall, this book was amazing and so far i might like this arc even better than the broken code, we’ll have to see

when they got character staring into their reflection and seeing someone else at the function

Wouldn't it be cool if Nightheart was actually named Nightmist?

Not only is it fucking rad, but it still incorporates his inspiration from Nightcloud and actually succeeds in what he wants. An original name. But it also has a weird call back. Nightmist is Sparkpelt's kid. Sparkpelt is Bramblestar's kid. Bramblestar is Tigerstar's kid. Tigerstar's dead siblings were named Nightkit and Mistkit.

Lol random, amirite?

Yeah I think people were over exaggerating, the chapter they ended on was pretty sweet and the only thing I don't like is sunbeam being pregnant because they said they were going to wait.

why are we pretending that the final chapter of star was just ‘and nightheart isn’t orange’ like are you guys exaggerating to be funny or do you legitimately hate nightheart that much it’s affected your ability to read the book lmao

it’s such a short chapter too, the message isn’t that hard to understand. legacy naming in warrior cats has always been a huge thing, especially for thunderclan cats. both litters of kits currently in the nursery right now are all legacy named after other cats. an entire generation of cats have been named after dead clan mates, and they’re not even the first!!

finchlight is teasing nightheart about whether or not he should also participate in legacy naming with his and sunbeam’s litter. instead of thinking too hard about the teasing, he dismisses it quite casually, no longer upset by comparisons and being named after ancestors but amused by the situation. a clear sign of how much he’s grown.

what he’s really focused on in that moment, is what sunbeam wants. he’s worried when sparkpelt brings up the idea of naming one of their kits after berryheart. he doesn’t push her, doesn’t give his opinion on the subject, just supports her when she decides she doesn’t want to name her kits before they’re born. they’ve both decided to name their kits as a reflection of who they are, not for the sake of remembering other cats.

nightheart has grown into a selfless, mature cat capable of looking back on his past actions and beliefs with amusement and bewilderment that he ever acted that way or believed those things. he loves his wife, he loves his family, he’s proud of his heritage, and he finally feels confident in himself and his own abilities, no longer feeling like he has to live up to any expectations.

…….what part of that is just ‘nightheart isn’t orange’ to you????????
