I always found it strange how any sort of leisure activity in Warrior Cats is slowly written out of the plot after a certain point. In the first arc, sharing tongues is a thing, but then it all but disappears. But what I'm talking about is how every time after someone invents a new activity that isn't patrolling, hunting, or just talking, it ends up with someone dead, or almost dead.
For example: The Daylight Gathering. Breezepaw and Lionpaw nearly die in a running race, of all things.
The rocks in ThunderClan Camp. Honeyfern dies from a snake bite and everyone is forbidden from ever sunning again.
"Ice Hockey" on the lake. Flametail falls through the ice and dies the moment he decides to have fun.
Maybe these aren't all the examples, but why can't Warriors or Medicine cats (or even apprentices!) have a scene where they just play around? Those can some of the better scenes, especially for character development! I don't know, it just makes the life of the characters, and by extension, the world seem more boring than it needs to be. Personally I think they should bring back at least some of these activities.

Omg so true and another scene when fireheart and brambelpaw (at the time) are playing in snow and they find sorrelkit dieing.

Because they’re only ever thought of as a plot point for the authors to introduce temporary drama, not as legit worldbuilding attempts.
Which is silly because they could reuse some of these ideas in their regular rotations.
