so remember when Kate said we would be getting mediators in all 4 clans? apparently not (screenshot courtesy of @theclandom on twitter) I'm kind of relieved because I'm not really fond of the concept of mediators in general, much less in all 4 clans. however I do find it funny that, on the same post she told us we would be getting mediators in all 4 clans, she also had that Rootpaw mishap. i think kate needs a nap

I kinda feel like this makes Tree being a mediator even worse if they're not even going to make it into a real role. Have I ever mentioned that I hate Tree as a character (he's fine as a person but)

I think there was also somewhere where she said that Tree would be the only mediator a long time ago. Kate plz, take a nap. >w<'
And I'm personally not fond of the idea of Mediators as a whole in general either. Tree's Mediating when he was needed in TRS didn't really help much or solve any issues, and again the role feels pointless because Medicine Cats played the role of Mediator alongside their usual jobs until they were watered down so much in the recent arcs.
The fact that there's probably not gonna be any more of the role makes it even more pointless to have to begin with (Not that it wasn't, it was before and it still is now). It's better not have existing at all.

Now I'm really salty, it really should've become a role for all five Clans. It would've been nice to have a mediator for all the Clans, especially for RiverClan. That would've been a nice way to introduce RiverClan to the plot and get a POV, but sadly, no. I'm fine with more roles, I just want more roles in all the Clans and not just one. It seems kinda dumb to keep the role in one Clan imo. I'll be forever salty that I'll never get my mediator Lightkit, Brindlewing, and Nightpaw. Damn it.

I remember this, and I'm still not that surprised, nor am I bothered or disappointed by it.

It was a useless role anyway that was made up by Leafstar so Tree can slack off and remain in Skyclan even though he is useless.

And thus, nothing of true value was lost this day. Itās an unneeded role anyway. Tree did jack crap in the last book.

Yep, I saw this. I asked Kate something about the mediators and she was confused. So someone (I think Jay) gave her the screenshot (you know what I mean) that she posted on the ROF spoiler thread. Kate must have been really tired to say yes to that question AND mention Rootpaw as well. Lol!

That and I think the Clans need more diversity. You only have two choices to take, warrior and medicine cat. And even then, some/most cats aren't well suited to being a medicine cat, like Hollyleaf for example. And other cats aren't good at being warriors, or even want to. And then there are other cats who probably don't want to become permanent queens either. The Clans really need some diversity, and that's my opinion. The Clans are obviously changing and I don't get why people are clinging onto "traditions" of Warriors when it always changes. Yeesh, and we've only seen this role in action for one book, and Leafstar wouldn't listen to Tree at all when he tried to do his job, neither would ShadowClan. I feel like literally no one was paying attention during these scenes, because Leafstar sure as hell is at fault for the "failure" of the role atm, not him. Who wants to kill me over my harmless opinion on fictional murder cats, hmmmm?

The idea of a mediator being a new rank is outrageous. It just invites more useless cats to leech off of the Clan while sitting on their lazy ass and doing nothing until a fight happens and they can cross their fingers and pray that they'll drill sense into the mind of an army of angry, battle-hungry cats.
The only way I can imagine this role existing is if they merge it with the medicine cat rank. At least with medicine cats, others tend to think they have StarClan wrapped around their finger or vice versa, which almost immediately buys them more respect than some freeloader who happens to have a way with words.

The only mediator rank Iād like is an elder mediator rank. I can see Brackenfur fitting the role so well. Tree just annoys me lol. But elder mediators? Elder!Tawnypelt mediator, Brackenfur mediator, Elder Whitetail mediator? Sign me up!
