instead of mistystar, riverstar, or ivypool, they should have included the option for Reedwhisker
reedwhisker is such wasted potential...like why even make him deputy AND son of mistystar if they wont give him anything to do or say on page? it's so shameful that they're wasting him like this.
he's old by this point, but thats honestly their fault for letting misty stay around this long. if u ask me, she should have died by the end of AVOS and let Reedwhisker take over.
but now? he should have been an option in the poll for an SE that bridges into ASC. why? because he's currently deputy. current deputies have gotten SE's. squirrelflight was a current deputy when she got hers, so was crowfeather (doesnt he become deputy in his SE?), and also hawkwing who becomes deputy in his. tawnypelt used to be deputy and she got a novella.
so where is reedwhisker's? are they really going to kill him off without giving him an ounce of anything? all these years and he still has NOTHING? it's criminally unfair and stupid if u ask me.
reedwhisker's hypothetical SE would not only include misty, but also blackclaw, and how misty and blackclaw broke up. it would include a canonical explanation for why reed was an apprentice for such a long time or if he was severely delayed in becoming an apprentice in the first place, etc. it'd also show how the loss of pike and primrose affected both misty and reed. it'd show us reasons why misty chose her own son as deputy. maaybe he did something noteworthy to be chosen? or what if riverclan has a thornclaw and someone didn't like it that mity chose her own son? who knows? we never saw any of it.
there's just so much here that they could easily go with but they dont...

Honestly? Yeah. He'd be the only option I'd probably vote for over Ivypool in that scenario. Cause I remember Moon pointed out to me just how much went unshown about his character in canon which is pretty ridiculous.

Bold of you to assume that any of those interactions or explanations would happen if he did get one. Like for example Leopardstar barely interacted with Stonefur and Mistyfoot in her super edition. Although it would make his character something more than Mistystar's son.

I would have killed for a Reedwhisker SE that deals with how his parents broke up in such a seemingly gross way, aka Blackclaw seeming to treat Mistystar like trash after her half-clan heritage was revealed, him defying her and plotting with Hawkfrost to sabotage her when she was deputy, and how Reedwhisker could have felt torn apart by his parents and his father’s sudden hatred of his mother.
Let me see Reedwhisker being held back as an apprentice maybe due to illness or injury and having a moment where he feels like he’s a waste of space, only to pick himself up and decide “I’m going to be a great Riverclan Warrior, no matter what my father says about my lineage, and no matter what the Clan thinks about my mother.”

I’ve been working on it alongside my Rowanstar SE outline, but it’s not fully fleshed out yet! I gotta study old Riverclan Allengiences

You always have great ideas for characters who deserved better. I'm so excited to see what you have planned for him. If you ever publish a bit here in the forums, don't forget to tag me!

I could not agree more! I am still a bit miffed he didn't get one instead of Leopardstar, but he def should have been a poll option instead of Mistystar, even though Mistystar's novella was more about Mothwing.

I gotta study old Riverclan Allengiences ooh i'd love to see a fanfic of it. also, filling out the old allegiences sound like a hard task. i only work with timelines for my family trees, so i have no clue who'd still be around during the first arc (when reedkit was supposed to have been born alongside pike and prim)

I remember several years back, Bright Guardian Akira made a video about the deputy SE pattern- Hawkwing, Tigerheart, Crowfeather, and Squirrelflight, and after that, I was so sure that it would be Reedwhisker who would be getting that next SE- instead, it was Graystripe. I really wish that it was him instead because I would have loved to read about his childhood and everything RiverClan went through since then in his eyes. I wish he were the SE option instead of Riverstar. :/

I think him being the second RiverClan option instead of Mistystar would've been loads better. I don't know whom I would've voted for, but reading about his childhood will be really interesting

Ṣanɗypaw™ Rainsplashi agree with rainsplash. i think if reedwhisker was an option, he'd replace mistystar's place in the poll, not riverstar. like i said in my post, reed's story would cover a lot of mistystar already since she's his mother (and leader, since he becomes her first deputy).

I will forever be angry about this! Did the Erin team (writers and editors included) just not realize that every modern deputy already got one except Reedwhisker (unless you count Cloverfoot, of course)? With all those timeskips, Leopardstar's could've easily been turned into a novella or even saved for another time. Hopefully he at least gets a novella, but an SE would've made more sense, if only for consistency's sake.

i dont really care enough at this point tbh. like hes way too old to be a good choice for the next leader and i dont really find characters interesting just because tragedies have happened around them. id be all for a cloverfoot novella or smth, and an SE covering a younger riverclan cat to set them up as the next deputy/leader
