I personally believe that Graystripe, like Crowfeather and Leafpool, rushed into his relationship with Millie cuz he felt sad and alone, and therefore never actually built the kind of father-child connection he had with his old mate and kits. This doesn’t mean that he doesn’t love them ofc.. but like Crowfeather the relationship never really satisfied him because of the distance he had created between him and his family.
I think Crowfeather and Nightcloud might be a better comparison for him not feeling satisfied with it. After all, that was where he lived a "normal" clan life with a child. His relationship with Leafpool was never able to get into a casual place since the entire time they were together they were either having it in secret or running away.
For some reason, i've always viewed Millie as Greystripe's true love. They spent an entire year traveling to the Clans and then waited three seasons to have kits. They also had eachother right there when they needed it. They are seen sharing tounges multiple times, defending eachother in battle, etc. Instead, with Silverstream, he only spent two seasons with her and then rushed to have kits. Also, the amount of harm they were doing while breaking the code was unhealthy.
Actually, I think Graystripe wanted Jayfeather to save Millie and not the kits because of what happened with Silverstream. He cared about his kits, but he didn't want to lose another mate. But that's just my opinion.
To be honest, I feel like Gray being with Millie for her and not kits is pretty sweet. It shows that he's not just with her for the kits, or raising a family, but rather for companionship. You have to remember he lost his first mate to save the kits, so that's why he was telling Jaypaw to save Millie if it came down to it. He could grieve over his kits, but losing another mate would be unbearable for him, especially if she was lost the same way.

I think it's sweet and everything, but the way he just never thinks of them is kinda weird. Like yeah I get you love your wife but you have kids please think about them oh my god
I'm honestly fine with the fact that he was mates with Millie for Millie not for their kits because the opposite is Finleap -_- also, he wasn't indifferent to his kits, he simply didn't want to lose another mate. He wouldn't be like 'okay millie's safe? yea, you can kill the kits, or keep em, idc' Other than that, great points.
Yeah. I don't agree with the final statements, but Graystripe could have and should have been there for his other kits. Sure, nostalgia is one thing, but when you're basically just connected blood to your current children you should stop and think: "am I a bad dad?" He's barely existent during Briarlight's injury or Blossomfall's outbursts or Bumblestripe's rejections, yet he could easily talk with them, give them encouragement or console them. It's close, or is, neglect for there to be obvious problems for his kits but him not even noticing/trying to help. And if he did, he certainly didn't try fast or hard enough.
MILLIE dOESNT dEsERVE GRaYStriPE >:I I dont want him to die ;-; I also wish something positive happens to him If he ever dies then this is what i wish would happen to him: ;w; Im not good at writing stories so take this as an idea Graystripe’s death Graystripe padded up to Millie. “Oh, hey graystripe.” Gaystripe sighed. “Hey Millie.” “Im just asking if we cancel the plans of going hunting together.” “oh.. but..” Millie Paused. She then lashed her tail angrily. “You have been delaying me for a moon now Graystripe.” “I know.. I-‘ “Can’t you just open a bit of time for me? You were also ignoring Blossomfall and Bumblestripe. What is wrong with you?” | she hissed | “Nothing. Nothing at all.” “Sorry.. im just worried about you graystripe..” “Im fine, just leave me alone.” Grey stripe ran off into the forest, Sadness Ok Here comes the part i actually wanted to write graystripe *sees bootiful silver shecat windclan y e s* she was drowning graystripe jumped in idk why he doesnt know how to swim that well so He dies Silver she cat: “Wait... wake up! Please..... why did you save me?” Then graystripe spoke quietly. “By instinct.” He smiled at the thought of Silverstream, before closing his eyes. Little did the she cat know, he would never wake up.
Bruh okay Graystripe's Vow was good and then they just UP AND DESTROY THE MOONSTONE. Like gone. Done. Millions of little pieces. I.....Bruh. WHY is no one talking about THAT bit?
No clue. I have two OTHER theories on how they can get in contact with StarClan, but option two is a bit lengthy. SPOILERS FOR VEIL OF SHADOWS AND GRAYSTRIPE'S VOW (Don't want to ruin for anyone) OPTION 1: In a Veil of Shadows, we found out that StarClan was somehow trapped in that den in the Dark Forest, right? What if we got the cats who used to travel into the Dark Forest (Breezepelt, Ivypool, Birchfall, Thornclaw, Tigerstar II, etc.) to go there, and try and destroy the den?? Would that maybe free StarClan? OPTION 2: It's been said many times how Feathertail can travel between StarClan and the Tribe of Endless Hunting. Maybe Feathertail can take messages from StarClan, go to the Tribe of Endless Hunting, and take a message to Stoneteller. Stoneteller could then send a cat down to the Lake (Stormfur or Brook most likely since they've been there) and deliver the messages. Of course, this is a loooonnng journey so Option 1 is probably best.
Tiana Richter Another theory I have is that ravenpaw might make an appearance again in TBC because in ravenpaw’s farewell (SPOILERS) When ravenpaw is in skyclan and is visited by bluestar, lionheart, and whitestorm because he is about to die, they offered him a spot in starclan. Ravenpaw declined, because he wanted to wait for barley first. Lionheart told him “But you are welcome to visit us in starclan whenever you wish. You will find a way, i promise.” and in the ultimate guide there’s a short story about bramblestar receiving his nine lives. In that short story bramblestar sees ravenpaw, which proves he was able to figure out how to visit starclan when he so chooses. Keeping that in mind, maybe rootspring or shadowsight will be able to communicate with him and ravenpaw will be able to tell them how to communicate with starclan
It seemed like he settled for Millie and never got over Silverstream and just throwing in the towel with their kits save for Briarlight whom (if I recall correctly) he and Millie doted over since she was a baby as she’s disabled which caused her siblings to attempt anything to get their parents attention. That’s a common thing in households where a physically/mentally disabled child is born if they have siblings. The siblings will feel like their parents don’t give them enough attention, so any attention is good attention. Greystripe falls under a category that happens more often then not: he doesn’t care as he’s ‘settled’ with Millie and didn’t bond with his kits as he probably should have. He’s the assent father that was still there but never made any effort.
i'm not sure if this is canon or not, i just remember hearing it somewhere, but didnt graystripe only get with millie because she looked like silverstream anyways
I thought in one book, maybe when greencough struck and all the cats had to move to the abandoned twoleg den but im not sure, didnt they say graystripe loves millie more than silverstream
A few things, and I'm not upset, and not because Graystripe's my favorite character. But so Stormfur is the only connection of Silverstream and Feathertail he has, so he misses him dearly, and he did, and still does love Briarlight,very much so, but sure it doesn't seem as much, but no one expresses as much love to someone that they live with every day. It doesn't mean they love them less, just don't express it as much. And at the point where hee asked Jaypaw that if it came down to it, to save Millie instead was because he didn't want to lose the love of his life, and have the traumatic experience again. The kits he wasn't as attached to at the moment, since he hadn't even seen them, or even know if they would live. Its a logical reaction. Back to Briarlight he didn't express as much feelings because he isn't as emotional. He's grown up from then. He kept his feelings to himself, I mean, just read what is said earlier in the book about his mom's death (cant remember her name, Willowpelt i think?). Plus, he still loves them, but Blossomfall and Bumblestripe are brats, and I think trying to help would be futile. Don't get me wrong, I agree with some points, but not most. I would definitely not go as far to say he's a bad father. Even if you think that, just remember what hes been through now. So much loss, but he still keeps his spirits up. If anyone wants to have a respectful debate on the topic in the comments, be my guest.
Like I get where you coming from but" Blossomfall and Bumblestripe are brats" yeah but isn't that something a father should teach is wrong, kids don't just become brats on there own? I don't remember him talking to them ever. I feel they would be way less brats if they weren't just raised by Millie. Maybe he's not a bad dad but he's like more an absent dad? I guess. I think the biggest part is in his book, even when we see into his mind, the parts and emotions he is keeping to himself, none of them seem to be about any of his newest kits. He lost Briarlight and even if he doesn't show emotions he should at least show half the emotion in his mind as he did for Feathertail but she's barely an after thought to him when he's reminiscing. Now here's the thing, this is probably just bad writing and the writers preferring the original characters above new ones.
@@Parasolhyena I see where you get that from, and It's partially bad writing, I'll admit some of its his fault, but mainly he was there for his children, but not as much as the mother, I mean, that's the story for almost every family in WC. He was just a lot more involved in Feathertail and Stormfur's lives because their mother wasn't there. So really I think its just bad luck that they turned out to be brats, despite Blossomfall getting better. Another example of my previous point of that it's not always the parents is Ashfur and Ferncloud. They were sibling, one turned out to be a psychopath while the other a loving mother to all kits in the nursery.
You can make as much excuses as you want, that doesn't suddenly make him a good father. He's not really there for them, hardly mentions or thinks of them (in one of the quotes he mentions firestars kit before his own and doesn't even list out each of their names..). He has reasons yea, but he's still a bad dad even if it isn't his fault or he wasn't trying to be. You're either bad at something or your not, not buts ifs thens.
It really felt like Graystripe's Vow had something cut from it... It's amazing how smug the book was about having something big revealed. The entire time I was reading it felt like the book was taunting me: something is gonna happen, something is gonna happen... But it never did. What I think happened is; there was originally going to be a big reveal in the book, but the publishers decided to remove it becasue of people complaining about the Vision of Shadows super editions being required to fully understand the story.
In a way, Graystripe is the old readers. They think fondly of the original series; the new stuff is okay, but the original arc was the best! We were more" emotionally invested" in the old Clans. The authors could be telling us to stop living in the past.
The thing is, even though Graystripe has major biases towards Stormfur and Feathertail over his younger kits, he wasn't even a good dad to them either! Like after Stormfur and Feathertail were born, he joined RiverClan for the sole purpose of being with them, but Graystripe ended up abandoning them anyway because he frankly loved ThunderClan/Firestar/his old friends more than he loved his kits. Also, by joining RiverClan, betraying RiverClan, then going back to ThunderClan, Graystripe ended up making RiverClan/Leopardstar hate him even more than they did before, thus making life harder for his kits since they would be viewed as untrustworthy, like their father.
Graystripe has never been a good adult figure to a younger cat. 1.) Totally ignored Brackenfur and pushed him onto the cat that was supposedly his friend 2.) totally ignored his kits w Millie I honestly think the only reason he ever showed affection to his kits w Silverstream is that they were her’s.
I’m sorry but for some reason calling his first litter by their names- Stormfur and Feathertail and then calling his second litter the three B’s literally made me cry😂. So did “Blossomfall and my other kin.” Also, in that quote, did anyone notice that he mentioned Squirrelflight first out of everhthing he missed in ThunderClan? He thought of Firestar’s kit before his own kits
I somehow genuinely forgot he had kids other than Stormfur and Feathertail despite being 100% aware that he’s mates with Millie and she has three kits. So I guess yeah... not the best dad.
I think everyone is also forgetting about Graystripes past. Male cats back then were rather detached from their kits. We don't even know about his parents. And when Silverstream died, he thought his kits died too. He was forced to give up his clan for them and live amongst enemies. He was more devoted to them because he was all they had. He was a lot older he had his other three kits. He had less struggles trying to keep them alive. Maybe he also didn't want to form more attachments in case he lost them. He lost everyone else he loved, after all. They had Milly. There could be many reasons why he couldn't or wouldn't bond with his second litter.
I’m somewhat glad they went this route in the book. He’s shown obvious hints of favoritism before, so I kind of like that they leaned into it, instead of trying to convince us that he’s actually this flawless cool guy when that’s never been his actual character
Doesn't necessarily mean he's a bad character, just means that he has flaws, which every character should. I mean, Firestar spent HOW many books pining romantically for the ghost of someone he had 3 conversations with while he already has a mate?
Don't you just love how he had more attachments to the ones he didn't fully raise and wasn't around often than Millie's? Don't get me wrong I love Feather and Storm and prefer them but still cmon Graystripe
Well, I think he was a good dad for Stonefur and Feathertail, he left Thunderclan to raise them, but he wasn't a good dad for Millie's litter. However, if you think abaut it, how many good dads are in Warriors? I don't remember many interactions beetween dads and kittens.
it kind of irked me when i was reading the book- like bruh think about your three children not your hot replacement or your first hot wife or first hot daughter plEASE
You are lucky You are the first comment I have seen In the entire video Do not have a single comment on it Because somebody spamming every single comments
I know this probably wasn’t intended because at the day these books are kind of badly written, but I always liked to think that Graystripe was distant from his kits with Millie because he was afraid to have that relationship again, considering what happened to his first family. His mate died, his daughter died, he’ll barely ever see his son again. By not getting close to his remaining children he’s sort of protecting himself from potentially experiencing the same overwhelming loss. Still a bad dad, but I thought it was an interesting dynamic that I wish was explored more.
I can't begin to tell you how overwhelmingly disappointing Greystripe's Vow ended up being. I was really hoping as a super edition of this premise, we might get another Bluestar's Prophecy where we would get the opportunity to actually see Greystripe as a kit and all the nostalgia and flashbacks would culminate with the "release" of Starclan back to the moon pool and Greystripe's death. I wanted the gap between his kithood and meeting Fireheart to showcase all the things we didn't get to see. Why was his mother's death in Firestar's Quest met with such indifference? Where was his father? There were so many questions that could have been answered all accumulating into a final farewell as he goes to join everyone he has lost. He's the last and keeping him going while watching him mourne the loss of literally everyone every time he woke up cold and alone in the elder's den. Instead, We get a total jumping the shark story that results in absolutely nothing. He came back to the forest no better off after over 30 chapters of nothing. Unrelated note: I haven't had the opportunity to say this, but am I the only one who kinda feels like Warriorclan is a bit of a good natured ribbing (or perhaps lowkey mocking), of Warriors fans? The constant debates over rules, names, traditions...kinda felt like Greystripe was an original writer amongst the petty squabbles on the warriors wiki forum.
I feel like Graystripe just feels more indebted and bad about how shittily he treated Storm and Feather and probably how he felt somewhat responsible for their mother’s death and his guilt is just overpowering
I hate how the book series showed that a fling of teens could be as important as a deep relantionship with a person who you have spent your entire life life and who you have children with. Firestar was really yound when he fell in love with Spottedleaf (do you, folks, treat seriously your love stories from childhood now?) but he was considering choosing her in Starclan instead of Sandstorm (yes, Erin Hunter killed Spottedleaf forever just because they thought it could be hard for Firestar to choose between these two she-cats). Crowfeather - when he was an apprentice - spent few weeks with Feathertail but he seems to be ready to consider her as his girlfriend in Starclan (when he has to choose between her and two she-cats who he had close relantionships with and who gave him kits). Graystripe is an another example of this craze. He was a young adult when he fell in love with Silverstream but he seems to love her much more than Millie and he doesn't know if he should choose her in Starclan.
Yes! Exactly. It had always bothered me how difficult they make the situation. When a cat's significant other dies, and they move on to another, why should it be a choice? Obviously you'd want to stay with the cat that has ALWAYS been by your side, providing you love, support, and a family. Firestar shouldn't even have to QUESTION who to choose because Sandstorm is his MATE and true love. Same goes for Graystripe, he had spend majority of his life with Millie, and loved her genuinely. Then all of a sudden he is thinking about who to CHOOSE? bruh, Warriors needs to do better when it comes to second love.
What i made of graystripes feelings for millie was that they were more platonic, and that he considered her to be more someone who always stayed by your side through your adventures, and not all the kissy stuff.
The fact that he was with his second litter from beggining to present and cares about them less then Stormfur and Feathertail, kits that he was with only a few months of their lives even adds to the sadness. Nice one Graystripe. (sorry for my bad english)
It would be pretty sad if he wasn’t in a relationship with Millie for Millie. That’s how a relationship should be. Children are something you can decide you want but you shouldn’t be it presumably for children. That’s a Finleap way of thinking. Greystripe didn’t care if they had kids or not and that’s awesome. He just wanted to be by her side
briarlight was only mentioned 4 times in GV because it takes place before she was born and after she died. Of course his other kits are going to be mentioned more because they're alive and active characters in the book.
I do partially agree, but he also thought of Silverstream so much that I would have thought he'd think of Briarlight too? I kind of feel like the authors are playing with our nostalgia for the original series with the amount of times they mention her
@@roxanner.galarza6390 yes agreed.. Millie put most of her time into Brairlight and neglecting Blossemfall and Bumblestripe. Besides, Graystripe didn’t make any better than it is now. They deserved more Silverstream cared a lot more about her kits!
I feel like maybe the reason Graystripe never built a relationship with his kits is the same reason with Crookedstar and Rainflower, after Briarlight lost use of her back legs Graystripe was worried he would lose Briarlight and then Blossomfall and Bumblestripe because he worried they would get hurt to so that's why he never got close to any of his kits.
I'm surprised no-one mentioned the "small percentage of people who watch my videos are subscribed" in the beginning You shocked me there to use it :0 (even tho I'm used to hearing this on YT pretty often)
Okay, but honestly he was left to raise his first kits alone and even left his clan to raise them in RiverClan. The only good thing that came out of that were his kits so I could image having a partner would make him at least more hands off raising with his second litter
These are reasons I was never big on Greystripe. "Everyone" loves him. Buut me and I'm sure there are others aren't included in that. I think he's painfully selfish and naive. I just don't see why so many people love him :|
I agree. Graystripe has a track record of being a lowkey awful person whenever it comes to romance. With Silverstream, he neglected his Clan and apprentice because he couldn't be two seconds away from a cat he just met. With Millie, he ignored his kits' existence because they weren't Silverstream's kits. The Erins have said he would choose Silverstream in StarClan no question despite the fact she was basically the cat equivalent of a college romance that accidentally had kids and Millie was the equivalent of his wife for years. I don't like him all that much.
Idk what to say really. Greystripe is an old cat with a long life, and like everyone, had some flaws. I honestly think the only reason he didn’t have that much of a connection with his kits was because he truly loved Silverstream more and they weren’t her kits, if that makes sense? I haven’t read the books for years, so I basically forgot everything about Grey’s relationship with his offspring.
Honestly, the first arc is my favorite arc for the only reason that it’s in forest territory, there’s only one main protagonist, and there aren’t 5000 cats.
Since we're on the subject of Graystripe's Vow... I have a theory on how they could get back in touch with StarClan. Two theories, actually. SPOILERS FOR VEIL OF SHADOWS AND GRAYSTRIPE'S VOW (Don't want to ruin for anyone) OPTION 1: In a Veil of Shadows, we found out that StarClan was somehow trapped in that den in the Dark Forest, right? What if we got the cats who used to travel into the Dark Forest (Breezepelt, Ivypool, Birchfall, Thornclaw, Tigerstar II, etc.) to go there, and try and destroy the den?? Would that maybe free StarClan? OPTION 2: It's been said many times how Feathertail can travel between StarClan and the Tribe of Endless Hunting. Maybe Feathertail can take messages from StarClan, go to the Tribe of Endless Hunting, and take a message to Stoneteller. Stoneteller could then send a cat down to the Lake (Stormfur or Brook most likely since they've been there) and deliver the messages. Of course, this is a loooonnng journey so Option 1 is probably best. Comment down below on what you think. I'd be happy to see what people think of my theory.
He loves them all, and all the points you make are very valid but I have to disagree when you go as far as saying hes a bad father. You shouldnt blame him for the decisions of his kits; he already went through having kits and given the fact that his former mate and one of his kits died early, it's hard to hate him for the losses he had. While I do agree that he probably thinks his Riverclan kits are "prettier.", he askedJayfeather to save his mate over his kits because his mental state couldnt handle to have his former mate and his children die, right after he tried to sort things out with his love life . The way you describe this scene is almost as though he wanted his kits do die. Stormfur may remind him of a happier time in his life than the kits he has in Thunderclan, but that doesnt mean that he loves Feathertail and Stormfur more than Briarlight, Blossomfall, and Bumblestripe, and definitely doesnt make him a bad father. The risks he takes for his kits in his early life just goes to show that he would risk his loyalty and respect of his clanmates just so his children could be happy. Greystripe made some questionable decisions in his life, but so did countless other characters. This is just my opinion, though. Feel free to dislike who you wish
you see that any doctor favors saving a mom over the child. after all, you can have more kids if the mom is alive. its pretty crude but i think graystripe followed the same logic so i dont think this argument was very good
And i suppose back when he was raising Storm and Feather, he was the only parental figure they had (by blood), and he felt a responsibility to them, so he went off to raise them, making a deeper bond. But with Mille the kits have two alive parents, maybe GrayStripe thinks that Storm and Feather turned out fine with one parent, who’s to say the other kits won’t? (I havent read GrayStripes Vowl)
Yes. He does not pay attention to them. But let's be real: that's because Graystripe had no book time. That would be like saying "Firestar doesn't love Sandstorm because he doesn't spend time with her in the second series!" even though Firestar had very little book time. Why does this make Graystripe bad but not Firestar? Yeah, Firestar addresses Sandstorm, but we have NO IDEA what went through Graystripe's head when Brierlight died. I disagree with this video strongly.
I personally believe that Graystripe, like Crowfeather and Leafpool, rushed into his relationship with Millie cuz he felt sad and alone, and therefore never actually built the kind of father-child connection he had with his old mate and kits. This doesn’t mean that he doesn’t love them ofc.. but like Crowfeather the relationship never really satisfied him because of the distance he had created between him and his family.
Good comparison; I'd never thought of it that way. Crowfeather and Graystripe have a surprising amount in common
I think Crowfeather and Nightcloud might be a better comparison for him not feeling satisfied with it. After all, that was where he lived a "normal" clan life with a child. His relationship with Leafpool was never able to get into a casual place since the entire time they were together they were either having it in secret or running away.

For some reason, i've always viewed Millie as Greystripe's true love. They spent an entire year traveling to the Clans and then waited three seasons to have kits. They also had eachother right there when they needed it. They are seen sharing tounges multiple times, defending eachother in battle, etc. Instead, with Silverstream, he only spent two seasons with her and then rushed to have kits. Also, the amount of harm they were doing while breaking the code was unhealthy.

Yeah. I don't agree with the final statements, but Graystripe could have and should have been there for his other kits. Sure, nostalgia is one thing, but when you're basically just connected blood to your current children you should stop and think: "am I a bad dad?"

No clue. I have two OTHER theories on how they can get in contact with StarClan, but option two is a bit lengthy.
SPOILERS FOR VEIL OF SHADOWS AND GRAYSTRIPE'S VOW (Don't want to ruin for anyone)
OPTION 1:
In a Veil of Shadows, we found out that StarClan was somehow trapped in that den in the Dark Forest, right? What if we got the cats who used to travel into the Dark Forest (Breezepelt, Ivypool, Birchfall, Thornclaw, Tigerstar II, etc.) to go there, and try and destroy the den?? Would that maybe free StarClan?
OPTION 2:
It's been said many times how Feathertail can travel between StarClan and the Tribe of Endless Hunting. Maybe Feathertail can take messages from StarClan, go to the Tribe of Endless Hunting, and take a message to Stoneteller. Stoneteller could then send a cat down to the Lake (Stormfur or Brook most likely since they've been there) and deliver the messages. Of course, this is a loooonnng journey so Option 1 is probably best.

Why did they have to do it like that?

Another theory I have is that ravenpaw might make an appearance again in TBC because in ravenpaw’s farewell (SPOILERS)
When ravenpaw is in skyclan and is visited by bluestar, lionheart, and whitestorm because he is about to die, they offered him a spot in starclan. Ravenpaw declined, because he wanted to wait for barley first. Lionheart told him “But you are welcome to visit us in starclan whenever you wish. You will find a way, i promise.” and in the ultimate guide there’s a short story about bramblestar receiving his nine lives. In that short story bramblestar sees ravenpaw, which proves he was able to figure out how to visit starclan when he so chooses. Keeping that in mind, maybe rootspring or shadowsight will be able to communicate with him and ravenpaw will be able to tell them how to communicate with starclan

It seemed like he settled for Millie and never got over Silverstream and just throwing in the towel with their kits save for Briarlight whom (if I recall correctly) he and Millie doted over since she was a baby as she’s disabled which caused her siblings to attempt anything to get their parents attention.
That’s a common thing in households where a physically/mentally disabled child is born if they have siblings. The siblings will feel like their parents don’t give them enough attention, so any attention is good attention.
Greystripe falls under a category that happens more often then not: he doesn’t care as he’s ‘settled’ with Millie and didn’t bond with his kits as he probably should have. He’s the assent father that was still there but never made any effort.
Cat lovers, can you support my beautiful cats? #CatOrinoco, thank you🐈🐈
I actually think he loves Millie, but also never got over Silverstream.
i'm not sure if this is canon or not, i just remember hearing it somewhere, but didnt graystripe only get with millie because she looked like silverstream anyways

Wait who is it
A few things, and I'm not upset, and not because Graystripe's my favorite character. But so Stormfur is the only connection of Silverstream and Feathertail he has, so he misses him dearly, and he did, and still does love Briarlight,very much so, but sure it doesn't seem as much, but no one expresses as much love to someone that they live with every day. It doesn't mean they love them less, just don't express it as much. And at the point where hee asked Jaypaw that if it came down to it, to save Millie instead was because he didn't want to lose the love of his life, and have the traumatic experience again. The kits he wasn't as attached to at the moment, since he hadn't even seen them, or even know if they would live. Its a logical reaction. Back to Briarlight he didn't express as much feelings because he isn't as emotional. He's grown up from then. He kept his feelings to himself, I mean, just read what is said earlier in the book about his mom's death (cant remember her name, Willowpelt i think?). Plus, he still loves them, but Blossomfall and Bumblestripe are brats, and I think trying to help would be futile. Don't get me wrong, I agree with some points, but not most. I would definitely not go as far to say he's a bad father. Even if you think that, just remember what hes been through now. So much loss, but he still keeps his spirits up. If anyone wants to have a respectful debate on the topic in the comments, be my guest.
Cat lovers, can you support my beautiful cats? #CatOrinoco, thank you, 🐈
I completely agree. Those were some of the points I was also thinking about.
Like I get where you coming from but" Blossomfall and Bumblestripe are brats" yeah but isn't that something a father should teach is wrong, kids don't just become brats on there own? I don't remember him talking to them ever. I feel they would be way less brats if they weren't just raised by Millie. Maybe he's not a bad dad but he's like more an absent dad? I guess.
I think the biggest part is in his book, even when we see into his mind, the parts and emotions he is keeping to himself, none of them seem to be about any of his newest kits. He lost Briarlight and even if he doesn't show emotions he should at least show half the emotion in his mind as he did for Feathertail but she's barely an after thought to him when he's reminiscing.
Now here's the thing, this is probably just bad writing and the writers preferring the original characters above new ones.
@@Parasolhyena I see where you get that from, and It's partially bad writing, I'll admit some of its his fault, but mainly he was there for his children, but not as much as the mother, I mean, that's the story for almost every family in WC. He was just a lot more involved in Feathertail and Stormfur's lives because their mother wasn't there. So really I think its just bad luck that they turned out to be brats, despite Blossomfall getting better. Another example of my previous point of that it's not always the parents is Ashfur and Ferncloud. They were sibling, one turned out to be a psychopath while the other a loving mother to all kits in the nursery.
You can make as much excuses as you want, that doesn't suddenly make him a good father. He's not really there for them, hardly mentions or thinks of them (in one of the quotes he mentions firestars kit before his own and doesn't even list out each of their names..). He has reasons yea, but he's still a bad dad even if it isn't his fault or he wasn't trying to be. You're either bad at something or your not, not buts ifs thens.
I can see it...

It's amazing how smug the book was about having something big revealed. The entire time I was reading it felt like the book was taunting me: something is gonna happen, something is gonna happen... But it never did. What I think happened is; there was originally going to be a big reveal in the book, but the publishers decided to remove it becasue of people complaining about the Vision of Shadows super editions being required to fully understand the story.

In a way, Graystripe is the old readers. They think fondly of the original series; the new stuff is okay, but the original arc was the best! We were more" emotionally invested" in the old Clans. The authors could be telling us to stop living in the past.

The thing is, even though Graystripe has major biases towards Stormfur and Feathertail over his younger kits, he wasn't even a good dad to them either! Like after Stormfur and Feathertail were born, he joined RiverClan for the sole purpose of being with them, but Graystripe ended up abandoning them anyway because he frankly loved ThunderClan/Firestar/his old friends more than he loved his kits. Also, by joining RiverClan, betraying RiverClan, then going back to ThunderClan, Graystripe ended up making RiverClan/Leopardstar hate him even more than they did before, thus making life harder for his kits since they would be viewed as untrustworthy, like their father.

Cat lovers, can you support my beautiful cats? #CatOrinoco, thank you,🐈🐈,
I think everyone is also forgetting about Graystripes past. Male cats back then were rather detached from their kits. We don't even know about his parents. And when Silverstream died, he thought his kits died too. He was forced to give up his clan for them and live amongst enemies. He was more devoted to them because he was all they had.
He was a lot older he had his other three kits. He had less struggles trying to keep them alive. Maybe he also didn't want to form more attachments in case he lost them. He lost everyone else he loved, after all. They had Milly. There could be many reasons why he couldn't or wouldn't bond with his second litter.
Cat lovers, can you support my beautiful cats? #CatOrinoco, thank you,🐈

Bad friend, bad dad, bad looks that’s Graystripe.
I know this probably wasn’t intended because at the day these books are kind of badly written, but I always liked to think that Graystripe was distant from his kits with Millie because he was afraid to have that relationship again, considering what happened to his first family. His mate died, his daughter died, he’ll barely ever see his son again. By not getting close to his remaining children he’s sort of protecting himself from potentially experiencing the same overwhelming loss. Still a bad dad, but I thought it was an interesting dynamic that I wish was explored more.

I can't begin to tell you how overwhelmingly disappointing Greystripe's Vow ended up being. I was really hoping as a super edition of this premise, we might get another Bluestar's Prophecy where we would get the opportunity to actually see Greystripe as a kit and all the nostalgia and flashbacks would culminate with the "release" of Starclan back to the moon pool and Greystripe's death. I wanted the gap between his kithood and meeting Fireheart to showcase all the things we didn't get to see. Why was his mother's death in Firestar's Quest met with such indifference? Where was his father? There were so many questions that could have been answered all accumulating into a final farewell as he goes to join everyone he has lost. He's the last and keeping him going while watching him mourne the loss of literally everyone every time he woke up cold and alone in the elder's den.
Instead, We get a total jumping the shark story that results in absolutely nothing. He came back to the forest no better off after over 30 chapters of nothing.
Unrelated note: I haven't had the opportunity to say this, but am I the only one who kinda feels like Warriorclan is a bit of a good natured ribbing (or perhaps lowkey mocking), of Warriors fans? The constant debates over rules, names, traditions...kinda felt like Greystripe was an original writer amongst the petty squabbles on the warriors wiki forum.

I feel like Graystripe just feels more indebted and bad about how shittily he treated Storm and Feather and probably how he felt somewhat responsible for their mother’s death and his guilt is just overpowering
I hate how the book series showed that a fling of teens could be as important as a deep relantionship with a person who you have spent your entire life life and who you have children with. Firestar was really yound when he fell in love with Spottedleaf (do you, folks, treat seriously your love stories from childhood now?) but he was considering choosing her in Starclan instead of Sandstorm (yes, Erin Hunter killed Spottedleaf forever just because they thought it could be hard for Firestar to choose between these two she-cats). Crowfeather - when he was an apprentice - spent few weeks with Feathertail but he seems to be ready to consider her as his girlfriend in Starclan (when he has to choose between her and two she-cats who he had close relantionships with and who gave him kits). Graystripe is an another example of this craze. He was a young adult when he fell in love with Silverstream but he seems to love her much more than Millie and he doesn't know if he should choose her in Starclan.
Cat lovers, can you support my beautiful cats? #CatOrinoco, thank you. 🐈
Yes! Exactly. It had always bothered me how difficult they make the situation. When a cat's significant other dies, and they move on to another, why should it be a choice? Obviously you'd want to stay with the cat that has ALWAYS been by your side, providing you love, support, and a family. Firestar shouldn't even have to QUESTION who to choose because Sandstorm is his MATE and true love. Same goes for Graystripe, he had spend majority of his life with Millie, and loved her genuinely. Then all of a sudden he is thinking about who to CHOOSE? bruh, Warriors needs to do better when it comes to second love.
Honestly I’m sorry but I like silverstream better than Millie i think somehow gray stripe still loves her more
What i made of graystripes feelings for millie was that they were more platonic, and that he considered her to be more someone who always stayed by your side through your adventures, and not all the kissy stuff.

I feel like maybe the reason Graystripe never built a relationship with his kits is the same reason with Crookedstar and Rainflower, after Briarlight lost use of her back legs Graystripe was worried he would lose Briarlight and then Blossomfall and Bumblestripe because he worried they would get hurt to so that's why he never got close to any of his kits.

I agree. Graystripe has a track record of being a lowkey awful person whenever it comes to romance. With Silverstream, he neglected his Clan and apprentice because he couldn't be two seconds away from a cat he just met. With Millie, he ignored his kits' existence because they weren't Silverstream's kits. The Erins have said he would choose Silverstream in StarClan no question despite the fact she was basically the cat equivalent of a college romance that accidentally had kids and Millie was the equivalent of his wife for years.

Since we're on the subject of Graystripe's Vow... I have a theory on how they could get back in touch with StarClan. Two theories, actually.
SPOILERS FOR VEIL OF SHADOWS AND GRAYSTRIPE'S VOW (Don't want to ruin for anyone)
OPTION 1:
In a Veil of Shadows, we found out that StarClan was somehow trapped in that den in the Dark Forest, right? What if we got the cats who used to travel into the Dark Forest (Breezepelt, Ivypool, Birchfall, Thornclaw, Tigerstar II, etc.) to go there, and try and destroy the den?? Would that maybe free StarClan?
OPTION 2:
It's been said many times how Feathertail can travel between StarClan and the Tribe of Endless Hunting. Maybe Feathertail can take messages from StarClan, go to the Tribe of Endless Hunting, and take a message to Stoneteller. Stoneteller could then send a cat down to the Lake (Stormfur or Brook most likely since they've been there) and deliver the messages. Of course, this is a loooonnng journey so Option 1 is probably best.
Comment down below on what you think. I'd be happy to see what people think of my theory.

He loves them all, and all the points you make are very valid but I have to disagree when you go as far as saying hes a bad father. You shouldnt blame him for the decisions of his kits; he already went through having kits and given the fact that his former mate and one of his kits died early, it's hard to hate him for the losses he had. While I do agree that he probably thinks his Riverclan kits are "prettier.", he askedJayfeather to save his mate over his kits because his mental state couldnt handle to have his former mate and his children die, right after he tried to sort things out with his love life . The way you describe this scene is almost as though he wanted his kits do die. Stormfur may remind him of a happier time in his life than the kits he has in Thunderclan, but that doesnt mean that he loves Feathertail and Stormfur more than Briarlight, Blossomfall, and Bumblestripe, and definitely doesnt make him a bad father. The risks he takes for his kits in his early life just goes to show that he would risk his loyalty and respect of his clanmates just so his children could be happy. Greystripe made some questionable decisions in his life, but so did countless other characters.
This is just my opinion, though. Feel free to dislike who you wish

Stonefur?
Looking back.
Not only was he a terrible dad.
But he was also a terrible mentor and friend to Brackenfur and Firestar respectively.
you see that any doctor favors saving a mom over the child. after all, you can have more kids if the mom is alive. its pretty crude but i think graystripe followed the same logic so i dont think this argument was very good

And i suppose back when he was raising Storm and Feather, he was the only parental figure they had (by blood), and he felt a responsibility to them, so he went off to raise them, making a deeper bond. But with Mille the kits have two alive parents, maybe GrayStripe thinks that Storm and Feather turned out fine with one parent, who’s to say the other kits won’t? (I havent read GrayStripes Vowl)

One of the saddest death, Briarlight

Yes. He does not pay attention to them. But let's be real: that's because Graystripe had no book time. That would be like saying "Firestar doesn't love Sandstorm because he doesn't spend time with her in the second series!" even though Firestar had very little book time. Why does this make Graystripe bad but not Firestar? Yeah, Firestar addresses Sandstorm, but we have NO IDEA what went through Graystripe's head when Brierlight died. I disagree with this video strongly.
He has so many kits
