Disclaimer: I don't own this challenge, KT-FeatherSage does. I do own this random rant that I wrote, but I don't own any of the characters in it except Mintflight.

Hello, everyone! I'm doing the challenge because I'm bored, which is what this challenge is all about! Also, this rant is partially about Veil of Shadows, the latest book, but I tried my best several times to just.. not do that, but like, talking to those of you who have read the book, like, STUFF HAPPENS IN THAT BOOK. Anyways, here's my random rant!

The brown tabby popped into Starclan, gazing around at the serenity of it all. Cats were sharing tongues and hunting, and the entire scene radiated an air of peace. She hated to shatter it, but she had to, because… um, she was bored.

"Hey!" She yowled. "I have something to say!"

She jumped onto a large rock where she could see everyone. Cats turned to face her.

"What are you doing up there?" A white tom asked her. "What is your son doing to the Clans, Whitestorm? Because Ashstar is NOT a good thing." Mintflight replied saucily.

Whitestorm was lost for words. His mate, Brindleface, narrowed her eyes.

"I disowned him already. Cloudtail is my child now."

"Isn't he an atheist?" Ferncloud asked her mother.

"Why does that matter?" Brindleface replied. "Anything is better than having that cat down there as my son."

"Good point, Brindleface." The brown tabby called, adjusting her glasses, which had slipped down her face again.

"Anyways, I called you all here because I'm bored, and I have to rant."

They looked around at each other. "Other authors have already come and-"

"Well, I don't CARE." Mintflight proclaimed. "First topic of discussion, WHY ARE MEDICINE CATS SO UNDERAPPRECIATED? They're literally second leaders! I mean, literally your Clans would die from something puny like greencough in leaf-bare if not for them."

"Thank you!" A cat called out from the crowd. "I told you, we are actually important!"

"Whatever you say, Cinderpelt." Bluestar patted the gray she-cat on the head gently, who glared back up at her.

"Also, why can't Alderheart and Puddleshine happen? They're both toms, so it wouldn't result in kits, they're medicine cats, they won't be fighting each other, so WHY NOT?"

A silence fell over the crowd.

"See?" The brown tabby glared at the Starclan cats. "Also, can Yellowfang's ghost, just…" she sighed. "STOP? Like, let some more recently dead cats do something, please! Like, let…" she threw her paws up in exasperation.

"I don't know, just NOT YELLOWFANG'S GHOST. You completely ruined her amazing character as SOON as she died and made her super annoying and not a very likeable cat!"

"I don't know if I'm supposed to take this as a compliment or not." Yellowfang growled.

Mintflight shrugged. "Take it how you want to."

"ALSO," several cats sighed. "WHY DID YOU SEND ASHFUR TO STARCLAN? LIKE, WHAT THE HECK? Now he's down there again being AWFUL and being mean to my poor Alderheart (oh, and some other cats lol), but LIKE IF HE WENT TO THE DARK FOREST PERHAPS WE COULD HAVE AVOIDED THIS."

She changed her voice to a high pitched imitation of Yellowfang.

"HiS OnLY CrIME wAS LOviNG TOO MuCh. Oh, really? He was involved in Hawkfrost's plot to kill Firestar (love you Hawkfrost), he WAS GOING TO BURN CHILDREN… DOES THIS STRIKE YOU AS A CAT THAT YOU WANT IN STARCLAN? HUH?"

"He was a noble warrior." A cat said at last. "He served his Clan."

"AND NOW HE'S MOST LIKELY DOWN THERE BEING BRAMBLESTAR'S IMPOSTER. I SUPPOSE YOU'LL JUST LET HIM BACK AFTER THAT, HUH?"

"We don't know who the imposter is, but if it is him, then of course we won't let him back!" Bluestar exclaimed. "Also, don't turn this into a Broken Code rant!"

The brown tabby sighed.

"I know, I know, sorry. I just have ISSUES WITH WARRIORS ITSELF. WHY DOES BREEZEPELT GET FORGIVEN? WHY DOES BRAMBLESTAR AND SQUIRRELFLIGHT HAPPEN? HE'S AWFUL TO HER! WHY DIDN'T MOTHPOOL HAPPEN? Huh, LEAFPOOL? WHY DIDN'T YOU HAVE A HOT ATHEIST MEDICINE CAT GIRLFRIEND?"

The pale brown tabby was silent. "That's a good question…" she mewed at last.

"I know." Mintflight took a few deep breaths, evidently trying to calm herself down. "Anyways…"

"Are you done yet?" A small gray tom blinked up at her.

"Who are you again?" Mintflight squinted down at him. "Even with my glasses, I can't tell."

"Never mind who I am. No one even remembers anyways." The tom sat down with a sigh.

"That's sad." Mintflight mewed unsympathetically. "Anyways…" she began again.

"Can you kill more cats? There are like 50 cats in Thunderclan alone, and even though I can remember most of them there are definitely other authors and readers who can't. Kill. More. Cats. Kill Graystripe, please. I know that it would be sad if he died, but he's literally like fifty billion years old in cat years and has nothing else to live for. Every other cat from his generation is dead, and half the Clan are his descendants. Also, KILL MISTYSTAR. SHE'S SO OLD. Kill her son too. Make someone new the leader of RiverClan. Also, can you kill Cardboardfur (Brackenfur), as well? He literally has nothing else to do. I don't even think there was a single mention of him all book in Veil of Shadows. Also, either kill Cloudtail and Brightheart together before Whitewing moves into the elder's den or kill Whitewing herself. I don't want to think of her being in the elder's den with her parents."

An uncomfortable silence fell over the crowd once again.

"Sorry, this is me saying stuff that I want to happen, not stuff that I'm mad about that already happened." She took a deep breath and adjusted her glasses.

"Why does Bumblestripe go from being mildly respectable in Sign of the Moon or whatever to a complete, um, TERRIBLE CAT for the rest of the whole Dovewing/Tigerheartstar/Bumblestripe thing?! I mean, he was a pretty DECENT CHARACTER BEFORE THAT."

"We didn't do that though, it was the authors." One cat piped up from the back of the crowd.

Mintflight paused. "I know, but still, you guys must have had SOMETHING to do with it. I mean, you're Starclan, after all. Anyways, I must be going before I start a long rant that is way too long and is mostly Veil of Shadows related, so um, yeah, thanks for listening, everyone!"

She hopped off the rock and padded back the way she had come, leaving many confused Starclan cats.

"Hopefully that was the last author to come here." Rowanstar mewed.

"Probably not." Bluestar sighed. "I think that we have a good amount more rants to listen to before they're satisfied."

Hope you enjoyed that! Also, FYI, I'm not a Bumble sympathizer. He sucks, but I was just noticing that he seemed actually kind of nice before he, well... you guys know what happened. Keep up the challenge! This was actually really fun, and thanks to KT-FeatherSage for starting it! I hope that everyone stays safe and is social distancing!

Have a great day (or night), everyone, and keep writing!
