ALitM Spoilers I think Rootspring will grieve for quite a while but hope that he can find happiness again someday. Probably not by the next arc (ASC) though as it would be way too soon.

i hope 2-3 arcs from TBC (maybe even later. who knows), he shows up in the background as mates with turtlecrawl. i dont want him to get a new mate so soon.

rootspring strikes me as the sort of character who would struggle to love and settle down again. the type to devote himself in other ways to his clan, family, and friends, but ultimately never engaging in romance again.
the writers have successfully shown characters move on after a love's young death multiple times (graystripe, crowfeather, palebird, berrynose, gray wing, skystar, etc), so i think it'd be kinda nice to explore the alternative.

I dont‘t really feel like he will ever take a mate. He will be *happy* again, but wont take a mate (if he takes a mate it’s hopefully not Turtlecrawl) she bullied him and is overall a bad cat like Kitescratch. They only like him now because he was important. If he hadnt done anything special they would still be bullying him

I kind of hope he doesn't because we have yet to have a character in this series who doesn't take a second mate after their first one dies. I'd also want to see Rootspring's own thoughts on that because from reading his POV, I don't think that he'd try to engage in romance again after this one. I just hope that he will be able to be happy again.

I would like if he was eventually able to move on, but I do not think it should be too soon. I think it would be cool for him to first find a place where he belongs in his clan. During the first half of TBC Rootspring was ostracized in SkyClan, and now he is a hero of all five clans. I would love to see him finally be accepted amongst his clanmates, bringing his arc full circle. Maybe after this happens, he could find love in another cat, or perhaps have a Hawkwing/Plumwillow situation, that would be nice as well.

I don't see why not if he can get over Bristlefrost. It's not like she's waiting for him in StarClan.

Probably. Root and Bristle could never really develop their relationship properly, they never even got to discuss it really
I always saw it as a dramatic teenage fling that ended tragically
He'll grow up and move on I think. Rootspring still has a lot to give

Well depends. BristleRoot pretty much were all but officially together. They confessed to one another, talked about their relationship, and were ready to possibly switch clans. In the end Root was ready to leave SkyClan for Bristle, but then Bristle sacrificed herself, and due to how she died, she won't be waiting for him in StarClan either. It's quite tragic. Rootspring is young, so he has plenty of time to move on if he chooses to, but there's nothing wrong with him staying single either, he doesn't have to get mate. Personally, I think that if he ever does move on, his new mate will always pale in comparison though, especially because of how much he loved Bristle, and how much he was grieving over her afterward. However if he does end up with another cat, I just hope it's someone new, and more of a positive in his life than a negative. I'm not fond of the idea of him with a cat like Turtlecrawl, she left a bad taste in my mouth with how she and Kitescratch treated him, so hopefully someone way better.

Considering how Bristlefrost died, I don't think he will. At least not soon. But after seeing that horrid reunion between Leafpool and Crowfeather in ALitM, I do not exclude the possibility of Rootspring getting a new mate that he probably won't love as much as he loved Bristlefrost.

I don't know how it would work but it would be lovely if Rootspring somehow assisted Spotfur with her kits. Maybe helped her deliver them (e.g. if she went to labour on the border).
Other than that, it would be nice for Rootspring to find happiness without finding a new mate. Most cats who survive their mates end up taking another, so it would be a nice change of pace.

Well, that aged poorly, considering what happens in A Starless Clan.
