They def. had some bad moments so does anyone even like them?
I actually kind of do. Don't take this the wrong way I am in no way saying they are good cats, they messed up big time. I really liked Blossomfall's development though even if we don't really see her anymore, Although a times I was frusterated that her entire character revolved around the fact she was jealous of her disabled sister. Bumblestripe's character deserved so much better. I'm still really salty. He showed me once and for all the Erins don't know how to write a good romance. I'm also going to take a moment to appreciate the fact that Bumblestripe was a good brother when he wasn't obsessing over Dumwing. He always seemed really sweet to Briarlight.
Briarlight of course is way better than these two but I'm curious if anyone likes her littermates.

I dislike them both, but I used to like Bumblestripe prior to AVoS.

I'm pretty much neutral to both of them, I like their pelts, if I had to choose either one to like just a little, it would be Blossomfall.

I do also think that the reason I don't hate Blossomfall anymore as I initially did when she was young is because she's not being a pompous brat anymore. That and I liked her friendship with Ivypool in late OoTS. God I thought she was the worst of her litter when she was a paw though. I'm all for character development but I don't have much tolerance for bullies. I would have hated her more than some villain's if she didn't change.

i think the general fandom consensus is that bumblestripe was likeable until the AVoS character assissination.

I like Bumble, neutral on Blossom, but I found them both more interesting over Briar. But tbh, I never really cared for the three B's in general that much.

Bumblestripe's creepy and Blossomfall's whiny, but I guess they're fine now since they aren't in the focus anymore.

Unpopular opinion I guess, but I always found Briarlight to be the weakest character* of the three. Almost like the authors were relying too much on her disability to get her sympathy points rather than letting her have an arc of her own. Don't get me wrong, Briarlight's very likable and almost perfect and... that's pretty much my problem with her. She's so bright and positive all the time that it gets kind of frustrating. By contrast, her siblings have a lot of flaws and that makes me like them more. Blossomfall is one of my favorite characters because I find her incredibly relatable and I appreciate her growth. Bumblestripe was more eh, but in the few scenes he was actually in, I found him pretty compelling.
*as in, story character. Obviously her strength of character as a person far outweighs her siblings, I'm just talking purely from a story perspective.

Blossomfall is incredibly annoying and pretty much became a non-entity beside being a "jerk" warrior after OOTS. Bumblestripe comparatively fares much better, as while he's also a jerk warrior, he also tends to have a little more depth to his character(no, one bad moment in a bonus scene is not the end all and be all) even post OOTS. I've actually liked his portrayal in TBC, where it sets clear boundaries on his morals. He's willing to sell Squirrelflight out to the Imposter, but when it's his family involved, he draws the line and it hints that he was trying to jockey for deputyship. It's interesting and just is a nice way of keeping him relevant. Blossomfall has no such luxury though.

Honestly they’re both...fine. I mean all 3 of them are fine. I don’t really think much the Triple B litter.

At times her character seemed like a rehash of Cinderpelt. Like the Erins were saying you can be valuable no matter what, just again. There were great moments with her though and her friendship with Jayfeather which saved her for me.

Blossomfall: I don't like how she handled her jealousy with Briarlight, but I understand her. She hated herself for how she felt, knowing she was wrong, and the Dark Forest warriors took advantage of this insecurity and she began to train with them, feeling like she was fitting in more with them than she ever did in her own clan. Her insecurities are by no means any excuse for how she treated other cats by acting like a bully, but I actually think she's an interesting character because of it. Blossomfall's character makes sense and she's a character I'm sure a lot of people can relate to. She truly felt like her mother didn't love her anymore, and with Millie acting so distant with her and her other kits, without caring that she was hurt at one point I can understand why. But she chose her clan over the Dark Forest, making amends with Millie, as we saw Millie playing with her kits in Darkest Night. I only wish we got to see them making amends on screen, with someone's PoV of Millie and Blossomfall talking in private, but other than that I feel like Blossomfall is a solid character. She was insecure, acted like a bully to others because of it, but now she's happy with her own family and kits and doesn't need her mother anymore. She was there for Briarlight when her sister was dying, and I'm glad she was. Blossomfall has matured a lot and I'm glad she's happy with Thornclaw. Thorn x Blossom doesn't bother me at all. It's a healthy couple and a happy family from what I remember. Neutral!
Bumblestripe: He has been inappropriate since the beginning and never matured, unlike his sister. Bumblestripe has been mooning over Dovewing since day one, and while I appreciated the moments of him feeling concerned about her, it was always around the most inappropriate times, and don't even get me started on when he asked for kits right after Purdy died. I mean, seriously? Dovewing was grieving, she clearly didn't want any, and I can't blame her for snapping back at him. Not to mention this was YEARS after they've broken up by now! I don't care what people think, but Bumble should've kept it in his pants and at least asked for kits a few days after Purdy died, not right after! Bumble has never changed. He's always been clingy, inappropriate, and rude. Heavily dislike and that's not gonna change ever.
I actually like Millie, neutral on Briar, she really could've been handled better as a disabled character, as someone who's disabled myself, I feel like the writers could have tried to have her do something more for her clan instead of just sitting there feeling sorry for herself. She's just... a sad character at best. Briarlight deserved so much better from both the writers and her clan tbh.

Considering the fact that Blossomfall reminds me of a Karen now that she's kind of middle-aged, especially during Squirrelflight's Hope and her brother Bumblestripe gives me r/niceguys vibes in canon, I'm not really a fan of either character, sorry Graystripe but your first litter had way less problematic kits. I adore Briarlight though!

I'm neutral, borderline like for Bumbblestripe as I've really changed my opinion a lot about him over the past few months. He has some character beyond "rejected love interest for the main character" and I'm happy for that. Whereas for Blossomfall, I can't stand her. I just see her as a massive jerk.

Eh...I feel like they're supposed to be unlikable, which is fine. I dislike them both, but not in a bad-character-writing sense (unless OOTS surprises me with bumbledove drama akin to bramblesquirrel; basically blaming the female character who justifiably doesnt want one love interest, but is blamed for the male character's actions regardless). blossomfall is hateable, but that's the point.
