Description
My whole life waiting for the right time
To tell you how I feel.
Know I try to tell you that I need you.
Here I am without you.
I feel so lost but what can I do?
'Cause I know this love seems real
But I don't know how to feel.

We say goodbye in the pouring rain
And I break down as you walk away.
Stay, stay.
'Cause all my life I've felt this way
But I could never find the words to say
Stay, stay.

- "Stay" by Hurts

So... I wanted to do this for a very long time now. This is Spottedleaf's first death... I thought the song was quite fitting.^^ I hope you like it... there seem to be a lot of people who hate FirexSpotted, especially because they think that Spottedleaf was somehow pedophile to fall in love with a tom who's way younger than herself. Well... my opinion to this: Why the hell should this be a problem? o,o' We're talking about cats after all. They don't care about age or something. Just look at Ashfur. He fell in love with Squirrelflight, eventhough he TOO was waaaaay older than her. It was like a 35 year old guy falling in love with a 18 year old girl. Same with Brambleclaw... he was older than her, too. Not as old as Ashfur, but still.^^ So I don't care if Spottedleaf is older than Firestar... it doesn't really matter. Sooo... uh... enough ranting about ranting people XD
This scene is from the very first book "Into the Wild" and it's after Yellowfang ran off to get the stolen ThunderClan kits back. Spottedleaf was killed by Clawface as far as I can remember. In the book Firepaw was in a hurry and just said goodbye to Spottedleaf very quickly. Dunno why but I think the author's had some problems letting their characters show negative emotions like sorrow or grief in the first few books. Firepaw/-heart/-star was always a little distant when saying goodbye to some cat that was close to him. This developed in the second series and he could finally show these emotions (for example when Graystripe was caught by humans), but in the first series that somehow missed out... At least that's what I think. So I made it a little more emotional and less rushed. After all, Spottedleaf was his "love at first sight".

So, I hope you like it I'm a little obsessed with this couple, 'cause it was just so tragic to see Spottedleaf die and then care for Firestar AND the kits he had with another cat the whole time.
I changed Spottedleaf's design a little I thought her old design wasn't... spotted enough XD
This will be the last pic for a week now, because tomorrow night I'm off to Bulgaria. Yaaay This is going to be fun XD
See you guys!

P.S.: The rain in this pic just sucks =_='

Yeah, I don't find the age-gap weird. It's that Firestar was in love with a ghost. What's with all these cats falling in love with spirits?

I admit this scene was sad, but I don't like the shipping. What ticked me off was this:
According to the Hunters, Spottedleaf was killed off (for the second time) so Firestar wouldn't have to choose between her and Sandstorm in StarClan. This made me go, "Seriously? What kind of reason?" I mean, think about it - it's a choice between some childhood crush you had that you barely knew and died a little bit later, as opposed to a mate who's loved you, supported you, and been by your side your whole life. THAT YOU HAVE A FREAKING FAMILY WITH. Spottedleaf's (second) death was so unnecessary. Firestar would've chosen Sandstorm in the end - heΒ admitted himself that thought he loved Spottedleaf (age gap lmao), Sandstorm was his mate and that he loved her.

There is a lot of weird pairings in the series where they are usually too old. It seems to be when you become a warrior then age doesn't matter.Β

Roseruu In reply to FairyPrincess666 [2017-04-06 14:36:31 +0000 UTC]

They are cats. Age doesn't matter for cats, and pedophilia doesn't exist for them. It's completely natural in nature and only odd if one projects what is odd for humans onto animals. However, by comparison a warrior is an adult and human adults don't care about age gaps either as long as both are over 18, so either way it is not as odd as you may think

Like Pinestar and Leopardfoot. If you don't know, they were mates in Thunderclan. When Pinestar was an old leader, Leopardfoot was a kit. They became mates when Leopardfoot grew older. It is such a weird pairing.

They're cats. I can't understand why you're making such a fuss about this. The only pairing I am infuriated about is the Spotted x Thistle ship. It's not the age gap that kills me, it's the fact it destroys Spottedleaf's character and spits on it, saying she was never really a good character, and the fact Thistleclaw lies about omens from StarClan.
THAT'S pedophilia.

First of all, you're absolutely fucking stupid. Leopardfoot wasn't a kit when she mutually agreed to being with Pinestar. She was a season warrior. An adult cat who could be with anyone who agreed/consented with being in a relationship. They were both adults/fully matured. It's just an age gap. That doesn't make it pedophilia you absolute fucktard. Might I add: THEY'RE JUST CATS THEY DON'T CARE.

I never like SpottedxFire because it was just to rushed, she was a medicine cat so it would never have worked, and I just personally liked FirexSand. While I was reading the books, I was always hoping that he wouldn't go to Spotted in Starclan and he would stay with Sand. But that's just my opinion and I accept yours too. I won't say anything bad about people's ships and stuff, and I hate it when people do even if they are not they're own. And I never really liked Firestar anyway so. :3 Still awesome art.

ikr. firepaw was in trouble when he met spotted for the first time! he was getting mouse bile to clean yellowfang's fur. it made no sense but the erins killed spotted of in star clan as well so firestar doesnt have to choose between sandstorm and spottedleaf. ya know, you need to choose over your childhood crush and your lifetime mate and mother of your children

Same. They had, like, no chemistry. They barely interacted and Spottedleaf died, like, a few months, if that, after Firepaw (Fireheart/Firestar) joined ThunderClan. FirexSand actually had development.

Aside the age difference, where was their development??? It really bothers me when people love couple that have know development, the age difference was like a 6 year old to 36 year old.
Really?

Sandstorm is older, but not by much. Spottedleaf was a full-fledged medicine cat when Firestar was an apprentice.
