What are some themes you would want to be seen in the series?

More family conflicts instead of romance ones. Which we seem to be getting in ASC with at least two of the protagonists so far (Nightheart and Sunbeam). Although there are also romantic conflicts showing up in that arc as well but hopefully those will not take such a central stage as they did before now that the code has been revised.

I'm not someone who has read all 80+ books and skipped TNP altogether (also haven't read TBC!) and know basically nothing about it, so this stuff might've already appeared, but;
Guilt about something horrible. I want a protagonist to end up killing someone and have it stick with them for majority of their life. I want them to really feel bad. I skipped TNP, but I know Brambleclaw killed Hawkfrost and felt bad about it, but it didn't really STICK with him. I love personal conflict and I want a protagonist to be struggling with the guilt of something horrible and then eventually crumble under the events of the world around them. That seems to be where Frostpaw's character is heading, and I'm living for it. I love her chapters so much.
I also want them to have more prominent themes of the LGBTQ+ community. For obvious reasons. Representation for the community. I'm aware it was a theme in Tallstar's Revenge, but it wasn't exactly confirmed. I also know that RavenBarley is pretty much official (with Barley being listed as Ravenpaw's partner on the wiki as well), but they weren't ever fully canon. I know the publishers or whatever have their dumb reasons, but I want it so badly.
I want the mediator role to become a thing in every clan. I think there's potential for some characters to become mediators, and I'd like to see a mediator apprentice. Spotfur would be a really good mediator, and I want one of the Spotstem kits to be a mediator apprentice. Or a medicine cat. That would be nice too.
More interesting traits in characters. That's not much explanation, but in the older generations, there were interesting little things that made background characters become blorbos. Piketooth & Stonetooth with their protruding fangs, Petalfall had no teeth & an interesting fur description (rose cream-coloured fur?), and just cats like that. Instead of the usual ginger tabby with brown eyes or some boring description.
I just want a mass cat killing. Jayfeather and Lionblaze dying together would be fitting. I'd like to see Bramblestar and Squirrelflight dying too, just so we'd have a new cat to lead. But I'd like Squirrelflight to die a bit afterwards, so she has time to choose the next leader. Don't want another RiverClan thing, that'd overdo it. Protect the kits though. No more kit death.

But we can't haaave official canon gay people because because...Because.....B...Because...Profit Jokes aside I do wish Warriors actually explored LGBTQ+ as well and make it actually canon instead of "They were just REALLY good friends, just, just SUPER GOOD PALS" I also agree with the descriptions, so many cats now are just "brown tabby", "tortie", "pure white/gray/black" so few of them stick out, what's a frog gotta do to get a multi-eye colored cat, or another bobbed tail we only have 3 of them I think, Stumpytail/Berrystumpytail/Finleap, I need more dammit or a cat with an interesting scar that isn't something ear related

Problems of New Warrior Code; confrontation between supporters and opponents of New Warrior Code; problems of Clan vs family vs all-who-follow-Warrior-Code identity.

Redemption in the afterlife. A cat that starts at being sent to the Dark Forest and earns their place in StarClan by doing good deeds.
