Absolutely nothing honestly, he'll probably just have a few lines and fade to the background

I want him to finally be known for something else besides his failed "romance" with Dovewing. So Bumblestripe getting a mate and having kits during ASC or being confirmed to in an SE following that arc would be nice to see. Although him starting drama (as long as it is not relating back to Dovewing in some way) could fun too (I just hope he will not be turned into Ashfur 2.0 since the incel plotline is now hopefully over and done with in this series after his TBC death).

i hope he stays untouched. he was used as a tool, ruined in character, to boost tigerheart and force readers to support tiger x dove. the writers should just leave bumblestripe alone. they killed off his popular mate option, rosepetal, so i doubt they can give him a satisfying love story in the background...no matter what they do with him, it will be disappointing.

Rosepetal moved on from him already, so it's a shame. Bumblestripe could have learned to appreciate her, and Rosepetal could help him be happy with his life without Dovewing and claim she's "not worth getting sad about". Bumblestripe appreciates this, moved on from Dovewing, and falls for Rosepetal and realizes that Dovewing was mean to him and loses feelings for her. His affection turns into love when they become closer, and Rosepetal and Bumblestripe have kits together as a happy ending.

It was actually never confirmed whether or not Rosepetal had feelings for him. Closest thing we get is Blossomfall teasing her after she feels bad because Dovewing broke up with him. And even if she did, she's dead now, anyway. I've seen theories of him getting together with Cherryfall based only on a few interactions, but I don't know. Personally, I'd rather he just not take a mate at all, or at least not yet. But maybe I'd just like to be more single cat's in general.

I kinda never did understand the BumbleRose bandwagon, it was overhyped because of one arc, and now its suddenly a lost romance because she's dead, despite them having like no real implications outside of Blossomfall's teasing. I'm fine with them not really being a thing, it's just that she's not Dovewing, which made her a better option by default. I prefer him and Cherryfall, and wouldn't mind if they got together, or if he just stayed single. However, it is a shame that Bumble's relationship with Dove ruined him so badly he might not even be able to have a proper romantic relationship ever even if he wanted one. He's definitely changed from the soft guy that's always wore his heart on his sleeves to the now more stern and steeled loyalist with his walls up.

She did, she just never specified who it was. She could've been referring to Foxleap for all we know, since she was actually gushing over him a few times in OotS. What's funny is that Foxleap would later end up crushing on Dovewing as well.

She did, but we don't know who she was referring to, and by the way she spoke, it was obvious that she was past it. She was speaking as someone who has been through those feelings, and was giving Bristlefrost advice too. Which is why her words were honestly just nails in the coffin for any ship she was probably involved in at the time, and quite literally after she got iced. As for Stormcloud and Cherryfall, that's pretty much RoseBumble, with even less implications, because we only got one moment from Bramblestar's assumption on Stormcloud's part? But this was from the same book he also thought Berrynose and Rosepetal were possibly going to be a thing too, which is why I took that with a grain of salt. The Erins also made no further moves to develop his Stormcloud's character and any screentime he's had lately in the background, as obscure as it is, has just been around Sparkpelt for some reason?? So if they are planning to make StormCherry a thing, they're doing a terrible job at it.

So if they are planning to make StormCherry a thing, they're doing a terrible job at it. side tangent but i am very disappointed in how stormcloud was handled in general. he was introduced in such a big SE, with connections to important characters like bramblestar himself and squirrelflight. and yet...he disappears from the books almost instantly afterward?? it makes no sense. he has a very loose similarity to firestar, having been a former kittypet that chose to join a clan...but they do nothing with him at all. i wouldnt mind stormcloud x sparkpelt either, but if they dont make stormcloud an actual character, it will mean nothing...

I agree, it always did baffle me. I actually was confused as to why he got such a major role in BrS only for it to not go anywhere after. Between him and Minty, they were my favorites, I didn't care much for Jessy though. Stormcloud had such an interesting personal side arc, and seeing him actually search for his brother, while also dealing with grief, the moment they find out the truth together, him and Bramblestar, you can really feel for his character. It was very saddening, but in a way, good closure for him, and development as well when he decides to stay with the clan cats. Likewise, we also saw a lot of development with Minty too, who was so skittish at first, complained a lot, and was unintentionally insensitive, but after staying with them she began to adjust very well. She was very sweet, and her friendship with Daisy was so endearing. Seeing her go back to her Twolegs was a nice ending for her, but seeing her excitedly and happily talk about ThunderClan to her humans, who obviously don't understand her, was a very cute moment. I really was expecting more of Stormcloud, and it made me a bit disappointed when every arc further, he was just in the background and not utilized at all. He could have been a prominent character honestly, but I guess I blame the lack of development for side characters after OotS tbh. I wasn't expecting him to be anything special, like Firestar levels of leadership one day, but at least some importance, like Longtail and Dustpelt did back in the first series. He almost feels like a filler character, who's just "there" to people that didn't read BrS and went straight into the next arc. And it didn't help that AVoS had an annoying problem with spotlight shifting a lot, which only got even worse in TBC. I don't mind him and Sparkpelt being a thing either, but I do agree, his character really needs more development in general.

I wouldn’t mind him getting a mate and kits, in fact I hope he does. I also wouldn’t mind him working hard to one day become deputy or leader. I actually really liked his ambition for leadership positions in the recent books and how he seems to be focusing on himself and his own achievements now. I like how he’s more steeled but still capable of kindness and loyalty to his clan.
