Bluestar has girlbossed too close to the sun in this set of chapters..... only Fireheart can save the clan through his political marriage to Onewhisker-- ok, that doesn't happen, but it would work. Join us for this set of chapters as the political drama ramps up in A Dangerous Path! We also look at the wonderful world of Warriors crossover fic.
Up next week: Chapters 12-14

Content warning for discussions of in fiction death of a deaf child and abelism (discussion of this section is between 10:20 to 26:44)
We're back from our break with more of A Dangerous Path! We have a big discussion up front about Snowkit and the incredibly bad abelism surrounding his death before moving on to some other staples: Fireheart being scared of A Baby, Bluestar being an awful leader, and Tigerstar doing some murders.
Up next week: Chapters 9-11

Things break bad for Thunderclan as fire erupts!! Fireheart is (mostly) forgiven by us as he is forced to take over leading the clan in the face of more natural disaster, and lots of very sad things happen. ): Then we read some early book trivia from one of the authors!

And at the end we explore some auto generated content. (Also Liz's audio from the first 5 minutes or so got destroyed, but don't worry they ARE in this episode).
