A feline homosexual relationship blossoms and the titular revenge draws near. The inappropriate flap talk continues.
I still feel the same about her, even after that stupid episode with the vole. Also, Jake’s flap.
The episode description is as follows: knowledge of the “secret” tunneling has persisted for generations throughout the clans. We ponder the mystery of the mysterious quote of the week. Talltail carries four pieces of prey on his back. Our opinions differ about the validity of Barkface’s sign from StarClan. The banging of wood against wood. And the most important question: do trees fall down? Who’s to say.
After reviewing a non Warriors-related short story entitled She’s home!, we have a very brief naming ceremony. Aspenfall needs to take a chill pill. Shrewclaw modified his insults to respect Talltail’s new name. The moor rings with ice. Taltail starts growling randomly in front of his clanmates. We rank the names of the four new kits (and are not impressed). The episode ends.
Back to the island, mange-pelts! Episode 36 is a standard episode of Miouooo with few notable moments. One of the hosts even falls asleep in the middle of recording. What does happen is the tunnels being #canceled and WindClan having parasitic worms.
Returning from our unannounced hiatus, we resume our coverage of Tallstar’s Revenge with a highly anticipated and celebrated death. There’s also a lot of angst, mostly of the adolescent feline variety *hares away until the next episode*
It’s episode 34. What else is there to say.
Oh my tail and whiskers! A disastrous day for Wee Hen stans across the globe. ThunderClan and ShadowClan make entries to the Ministry of Silly Walks. Evelyn opens up about her hubobophobia. #justiceforweehen. The truth must come out.
Wee Hen stans rise up.
Tallpaw gruesome and is now an apprentice. Shrewpaw bullies Tallpaw in front of the entire clan and none of them do anything about it (outrageous!) Lapwings, weasels, buzzards, grouse, slugs, and snipes are some of the rare creatures referenced in these chapters. We might like to see more natural disasters in the series, such as tornadoes, earthquakes, and volcanic events. We wonder; did the Tribe eat the carcass of Sharptooth? Be sure to listen to the end of the episode to hear some food for thought from a milk drinker.
In this episode, two monsters’ thick hides collide. We also have the greatest and most abrupt weaning scene in the entire series.
Tallstar's Revenge is designated a "Warrior's Super Edition," and there is no mystery why. To begin this book, we invited our friend Astraea as a special guest. In this episode, we talk about book covers, what happens if the pain of receiving your nine lives is so bad that you die, and the Windclan tunneling system, which invokes heavy criticism.
“Something’s fundamentally wrong with my right leg." We review The Coldest Winter since 1854, a short story by William Saroyan.
We have finally finished Outcast! And what a slog it was. We spent like 5 minutes picking the next book, which is coming up after our special episode: Tallstar’s Revenge!
Sexual intercourse alert! That’s right, our Warriors quote of the week is NSFW. We think fresh kill should be eaten quickly, lest it become stale cold kill. Lionpaw demonstrates how to urinate on a pile of rocks. We talk about whether it’s a good idea to cake mud on your body and eat it up later. There’s also a lot of cat colonization, racism, and xenophobia in these chapters.
Frecklewish controversy resources:
In this short episode, we talk about blowing your eyes, the herb garden in the Cave of Rushing Water (?), and a certain lie that increases our respect for Stoneteller despite characters thinking otherwise.
We talk a bit about the upcoming new books. Two cats have to insist that they are not dead. Evelyn gives Simon a couple quizzes. We get confused over the geography once again. A full grown cat carries an almost full grown cat by the scruff. The white (or orange) savior trope rears its ugly head. Breezepaw threatens to release an album. The Tribe of Endless Hunting is surprisingly eager to give up.
It’s Purdy time! And time for Purdy’s ticks. We ask, what’s so special about mouse bile? We did some herb research on chervil and horsetail. Should we rename the podcast to “Vole Talk?” We’re finally on the mountain, and it only took ⅔ of the book to get there.
Finally back with another episode, we are. We talk about the super edition poll that got bot brigaded and some secrets divulged by Vicky Holmes. These travelogue chapters we covered were simultaneously the most boring, but also the most interesting due to the reappearance of Purdy. Another topic pondered was how cats might go about preserving animal hides.
On this day, we discuss the frequency of clan patrols and how they always appear just when you need them, one Queen’s haste to abandon her kits and clan, Brambleclaw cutting off Lionpaw mid-sentence only to say the exact thing Lionpaw was going to say, confusion regarding just how exactly Dovewing and Tigerheart are related, the sleepover in ThunderClan camp which no one from RiverClan was invited to, and the humiliating gossip Breezepaw endures.
