My question is why Graystripe can never get a mate within his clan....

I hate Millie because people give her excuses on how 'it was hard to see her daughter almost die' but at the same times it was hard for her children to see their sister almost die and to make it worst their mother starts neglecting them, in one scene when Blossomfall got hurt Millie got angry at her she told her to grow up and act like a warrior and when Blossomfall got hurt another time Millie ignored her and told her she was fine and went to check on Briarlight instead, Millie was the reason Blossomfall decided to train in the dark forest for Pete's sake! still I think she was a bad mother she wasn't a good mother at first she was a good mother to her kits but know she cant even look at the other too for two seconds

People forget what Millie has done before brairlight’s injury like thanos’s snap edit: spoiler Mille kills thanos in endgame

SPOILER WARNING FOR THE APPRENTICES QUEST Also sorry for spoiling it to some people 😕 To me Sandstorm is my favorite mom and it made me sad when she died in The Apprentices Quest.

Yep absolutely every once and a while she make mistakes but that's what makes her a relatable character. "But she ignored blossmfall!" Some say, yes she sort of let go of her ADULT CHILD who literally doesn't need her anymore in favor of her gravly injured daughter. She loves her baby, and thinks her baby need her help

Bumblestripe just got ignored for the whole arc. RIP.

I personally never really thought the whole scene between Blossomfall and Millie was that majorly bad?? I actually thought it was a normal reaction from Millie, it just reminded me of my mother, yes she was harsh but she had good intentions. She didn't want to lose her daughter when she already has a daughter crippled you know? so I couldn't really understand why the fandom liked to exaggerate the whole scene - *if anything most people probably had a problem with it because they were scolded as a child by their mother and held a vendetta against it by forcing their bloody hatred on fictional cats* 👀👀👀

Millie is no paragon of perfect motherhood, but she's no abusive monster either. She's one of the most realistic parental figures in the series, and I hate that she's so despised for mistakes that any mother, ESPECIALLY those who've watched a child succumb to disease or disability, could understandably make.

I think Speckletail was a good mom, if only she could have saved her kit though. Poor, poor Snowkit. 😢

“Tomorrow is Mother’s Day. So I’m talking about one of the best warrior cat mothers” Rainflower! Jk lol I like Millie

I didn't like Millie at the beginning, especially in the manga, found her annoying as heck. But as a mom, I found her interesting. She was developed, with flaws and all, and it made me appreciate her. Yeah, she's giving too much attention too Briarlight, and not enough to Blossomfall. Yeah, her words towards Blossomfall were harsh. But she's just imperfect, contrary to most mom in Warrior Cat. And she was in a situation where she was scared for Briarlight's life, how could she be perfect in this situation? All this family needed was a bit of communication.

Fan: *Makes Mary Sue* Rest of the fandom: "Oh my God, ew! Give them flaws!" Fan: *Gives them flaws* Fandom: "Oh my God, I hate her! She's a horrible mom!"

I personally really don’t like Millie, but I do like how she helped Greystripe. He could’ve fallen into a serious depression without her. And I see why Millie was fussing over Briarlight. I’d do the same thing; but I am still really pissy at Millie, but it’s not like I absolutely hate her.

Mother’s Day is tomorrow? 0.0 Edit: nvm it’s only for USA and Canada and stuff

Millie acts just like a realistic mother, a lot of mothers compare their kids and would obviously care about their injured kid rather then the one who isnt.

I UNDERSTAND Rainflower and Millie are absolutely opposit :0

Thank you so much for making this video I love Millie a lot and it hurts my heart when people hate on Millie bc of a couple bad interactions/flaws that she’s had,, and it breaks my heart when people forget the amount of great things that she’s done-

YAY! Although I don’t know about Millie being that good of a mom. I still remember how she was to Blossomfall when Briarlight was hurt. In fact it’s kinda funny that this video came out while I was reading Warriors. 😂

I was sad hearing about Squirrelflight’s dark future, but now this is cheering me up. I love you’re channel, too! Edit: How old even is GreyStripe?! He is so old. He was in the VERY first book of Warriors: Into the wild. Edit 2: Yeah, Mistystar is MUCH older but I said GreyStripe because he is Millie’s mate. Edit 3: Oh, yeah, Barkface and Tallstar lived long.

Millie just needs to calm down a bit. Yes she can fuss over Brairlight but she needs to still have faith in her. I feel really bad for Blossomfall because all she wanted is for her mom to love it. Millie isn’t a good mom to me, because any mom can make mistakes, but she shouldn’t treat Blossomfall like that at all. Millie needs to get over that Blossomfall is just as important as Briarlight and Bumblestripe

I agree Millie shouldn't have treated Blossomfall like that, but I don't understand why everyone hates her so much! Millie was one of my favs! I think she doesn't get the credit she deserves.

Millie was a good cat. She raised some of ThunderClan's finest warriors, learned how to hunt and fight swiftly and stayed immensely loyal to both her clan and her mate. Like most cats in the series, she had flaws, and that's expected!

Honestly tho Millie and Greystripe have AMAZING chemistry, Grey x Silver was bland its just a Kind girl and a Cool guy, but Millie x Grey was so much more than that. Defiantly one of my favorite Warriors couples of all time

Millie: pays attention to Briarlight, who’s back legs will never work again Blossomfall: bRUH HOW DARE MY MOTHER PAY ATTENTION TO MY TERMINALLY ILL SISTER INSTEAD OF ME, A HEALTHY WOMAN

My favourite moms in warrior cats are probably Palebird(Because she tried her best to be a good mother while trying to deal with her depression) and daisytail,hawkfoot and oakleaf since they were the ones that stood up for their kits and future kits to make a new rule in the code to protect them

I disliked Millie in my opinion, but I knew Millie was such an amazing mother. I could never get over how she ignored Bumblestripe and BlossomFall. I feel Millie should have been developed more. You explained her so well!

I kinda think she was a bad mom to Blossomfall.

If a cat in this book does one bad thing all their good accomplishments are ignored and the fandom rushes to demonize them.

YASSS! Millie is my favourite cat! I just wish she wasn't hated on so much!

Listen, as long as she's not another Rainflower I could care less tbh

I agree, Millie is not a bad cat at all in my opinion! As you said in the beginning, Millie did mentally save GrayStripe!

My favourite warrior cat is Blossomfall. I kinda feel like Millie stopped having a personality after the manga books made about her and Greystripe...

Also, does NOBODY remember that Millie can speak dog? Like, come on Warriors fans!!

I agree with what you say about Millie however Millie can be unnecessarily rude to some other cats

Ah Akira. I remember when you released the first Millie video. I remember I commented it on it and I remember I really hated Millie back then. I'm also so proud of you that you came that far, I remember when you had only around 500 ( or was it 1000?) subscribers, and I was one of them and I still am. Now after all those years I must admit I feel neutral towards Millie. Yes I still don't like the way she treated Blossom fall back then but on the other hand Blossomfall herself was a bit immature and she overreacted too much despite being an adult. Not to mention Millie is a great mate for Graystripe since Graystripe was not mentally or emotionally okay at that time. Also this a great birthday gift for me XD. Once again I'm glad and proud of how far you came Akira and how much you improved making your videos.

Yay! Someone finally speaks up about Millie! Thank you Bright Akira!!

Honestly, if she makes Graystripe happy, she's good enough for me.

I don't _hate_ Millie, but she was very rude towards Briarlight after she was crippled, and told Jayfeather something along the lines of " Why are you making her exercise when she's sick? " *(To make sure her lungs don't fill up with fluid)* and how Briarlight might as well be better off dead. (That's what I heard.)

Lol on BlogClan, the main thing I'm known for is defending Millie. I totally agree, great video!

You see I'm still on The Forgotten Warrior so im still in Omen of The Stars but when reading about Millie, yes she got me mad and all but in my mind I still think of her as a great cat still. Helping Graystripe, fighting Shadowclan, etc. I still though of her as a good cat and mother, yes I got mad at her with the Blossemfall moments, but she is a great mother still! I always feel bad when people treat Millie badly, I love Millie a lot and such, and we need to give her some love for once!

another point is that millie had every right to call out blossomfall when she came from the tunnels; 1) the tunnels were made forbidden due to its instability shown when hollyleaf ran in 2) she was neglecting her clan duties by going into the tunnels when she was supposed to be hunting, and came back with nothing 3) she dragged ivypaw into the tunnels with her, risking her to get injured and possibly killed already when the characters are apprentices, they shouldn't be needing their parents constant attention anymore, they're not babies. and when blossomfall did start complaining she was already a warrior, a full-grown ADULT. she definitely did not millie to be around her all the time then. i mean, did we see bumblestripe complain about it?

Wow..... this really changed my mind about Millie. Before watching this I was one of those Millie haters, but you opened my eyes and now I actually like Millie😊

Millie literally implied that Jayfeather should let Briarlight d1e because she was in “pain”. And everyone always puts their attention on blossomfall in this situation when Millie has been mentally destabilizing to Briarlight.

**Directs you to Moonkitti's video "Talking: Briarlight"**

I really like millie. Although being quite rude to Blossomfall, I still like her. She’s still quite protective of her family. She’s also pretty (in my opinion), but past that she’s got an attitude. :P

Mille is a GOOD mom! Im sure Graystripe felt better when he had Mille :D

im glad u think this Akira I also think she's a great mom :}

Millie aint a bad mom Just a developed mom

I love Millie. I can't help it. I started out reading warriors with the mangas, and my first was Millie's. So I have a soft spot for her. And Sasha too.

I think ferncloud is the best mother, not a Millie hater.

"and jay feather thinks everyone is annoying" THANK YOU FOR ATLEAST ONE NEGATIVE COMMENT FOR JAYFEATHER

And to be fair, most parents dont really seek out their children in Warriors. How many times can you count out Whitewing talking to Dovewing and Ivypool after they were apprenticed in all of OotS? Some characters will talk to their kids more yes, but a lot of the time they don't really seek out their grown up children in the clan but just all live their lives together. I feel like Hawkfrost (or maybe someone else) got to her early, causing her to hold on to these emotions as an adult. Which would be a good reason as to why Bumblestripe isn't as affected by the situation, as he's growing and working more towards being a warrior than wanting his family's attention.

I hate that people are not getting the point of Millie and Greystripe parenting. Millie had one litter of kits, tell me this if you're siblings where getting ready to die, or where crippled. Would your parents ignore them and be giving more attention to you? NO 1. Losing a child is very hard and a nightmare to all children. That was Millie and Greystripe were fearing, they were scared. 2. They knew that Blossomfall and Bumblestripe could take care of themselves. It shows the parent that they have learned a lot of when they were kits and when they where apprentices they could show that they could be on their own. 3. Blossomfall should have known the risk of going into the tunnels. Like all mothers, you would get into trouble for doing things that you're not suppose to do. That's was Millie did. She told Blossomfall to act like a warrior because what she and Ivypool did was unacceptable. 4. Blossomfall is showing that she's not ready to be on her own and over reacts to everything. Bumblestripes shows his parents that he doesn't need their help while Blossomfall shows that depsite she learned everything as an apprentice, she doesn't want to be on her own. Despite all cat her age no longer need theirparent help. 5. Millie and Greystripe knew the clan would take care of their kits because they put their trust in them. It like going to your aunt, grandparents or cousin home. Your parents trust them to take care of them.

When I first heard that Millie had haters I was very surprised honestly, the first time I ever read about her was in the Warriors manga and I really liked her. Even though I haven't read anything about her past that Manga yet I still think she is WAYYYYYY better then Silverstream

It’s just really funny how the whole family just forgets about their Son Bumble stripe but it’s not like he doesn’t deserve it

The fact that Bumblestripe wasn’t even mentioned in this 😂

I don’t get enough attention!! I’ll go train with a couple murderers. I love Blossomfall ok, she’s just kinda dramatic.

I believe this. Millie is so important to Graystripe. She cares more about others than herself. If Silverstream says Millie is good for Graystripe, that says a LOT! The Clan loves her, her family loves her, and the READERS love her! When Millie fusses over Briarlight, its because she is worried. How would YOUR mother react if you were paralyzed? Probably the same way Millie acts when Briarlight was paralyzed. Blossomfall was spoiled a bit. Remember your Sleekwhisker song? Well, imagine Blossomfall singing that. Kind of fitting, don't you think? Millie is a VERY good mom. She is better than Rainflower, or even the original queens! Millie has DEFINETLY deserved to be a Clan cat, and the title of a good mom

0:58 Silver stream: *quietly walks away*

If you have headphones on at 5:56 you can hear When I Return, a song Akita made.

Graystripe is going to chose Silverstream in Starclan anyways

Millie is one of my favorite Cats. She's interesting and a good mother, at least she's WAYY better then Rainflower. Millie is a good Mother. In my opinion :D

Millie is abusive and ableist she made her daughter (Briarlight) feel like a burden to the point where she refused to EAT

ANNNNNNND Millie can SPEAK DOGGO

People need to get over gray x silver because she is dead and has been for a long time

As long as she's not Rainflower 2.0 I'm fine with her

I would love Millie if she pay'd more attention Blossomfall. She really is a good mother, but sometimes I feel like she needs to remember she has more than one kit :/

Ahh thank you! This video was really needed

I personally love millie she is like my fav! So glad u made this

I do think that Millie was a good partner to Graystripe but I will always think that she was a bad mom.

It’s so sad to see Millie hated so much, she’s a good cat

I like Millie to but she’s so underrated because people assume she’s a jerk

ok i know this video is about Millie and i have no beef towards her, but Sorreltail and Ferncloud WERE good mothers along with Millie

Briarlights dead! Im crying i just read that.

Millie is. . . not _the best_ mom, like, Briarlight even states that she doesn't want special treatment in Bramblestar's Storm, she just wants to be treated normally, also, I understand the nature of a paranoid mother, but she doesn't get to be rude to Blossomfall about it. That's emotional abuse! It doesn't matter how old you are, emotional abuse is not okay. Especially in Sign of the Moon, when Millie openly states that Blossomfall should grow up and act like a good warrior, Brackenfur tries to tell her that Ivypool and Blossomfall are home safe which is all that matters, Millie replies, "IS IT?!" like it doesn't matter if Blossomfall got killed, it's all about Briarlight! However, Millie does have some good qualities; she speaks dog _and_ is a good mate to Graystripe, and also respects his first mate Silverstream. Millie serves her Clan well and is even shown playing with her grandkits Blossomfall's kits in AVoS, so yeah. I don't _hate_ Millie, I respect her and her dedication to ThunderClan, her love for Graystripe, and her concern for Briarlight, I just wish she'd been a better mom to Blossomfall in OotS.

I am so glad that someone is talking about how Mille is not horrible and is a great person and mom! - sincerely Mille lover

i hate millie but not bc of blossomfall she gave briarlight self worth issues and acted like she was better dead the disabled id even say millie is the reason briarlight my favourite character died

I politely disagree, and also fight to prove to people that Sandstorm is better.

Every 2 years Akria will make a vid about Millie

I still can't forgive what Millie did too Blossom. And she wasn't a baby because of this. It was child neglection and it was kinda like Oak and Crooked but instead of Rain not caring about Crooked because he was hurt she did care about Briar but while forgetting about her other kits. For that reason I will always hate Millie but I agree with your point of her helping Gray. Wow that hurt to type :p

Millie was very stressed and probably couldn’t even handle having another kit get injured

Ahem..... *I honestly think Blossomfall deserved it, maybe I think so because of her attitude??*

I like the point about how most of what we hear about her is in Jayfeather's chapters. so true! I still feel like she is a bit harsh. I wish Warriors would put in more effort when showing that two (or more) cats are finally starting to get along. in some places it lacks information and leaves a lot of things missing.

Millie was a GOOD mom! *Talks about Greystripe*

Here's my take on Millie's parenting issues: Millie is scared. She disassociates herself from Blossomfall and Bumblestripe, because she is afraid that they may end up like Briarlight... or worse. After the stress of almost losing Briarlight, she didn't want to feel the same if such a thing were to happen to Blossomfall and Bumblestripe.

I see what you mean, but I still dislike her honestly. Edit: 57 LIKES!?! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

What people dont get also is that Silver and Millie would both be best friends. They are both similar in many ways and it seems like in starclan they will get along and not fight unlike the people fighting on 2 different teams for Millie or Silver. (Silver being silverstream)

i still think millie could and SHOULD have been there more for her kits, i understand the pain of seeing your child suffer, and yes, while that is an explanation, it isn't an excuse. Millie should have been willing to at LEAST listen to blossomfall's feelings and not disregard them, millie isnt a good mom to blossomfall and she's a great mom to briarlight, this is unfair and millie is in the wrong.

Millie treated blossemfall poorly when briarlight was hurt. that's why I dislike her. You gave some good points but I still really dislike her. Of course blossomfall wants to be loved equally between her siblings. And when she got stuck in those tunnels she could have been hurt badly, but millie did not care. She just yelled at her. also I dont particularly like millie since the beginning.

*cough* BlossomFall X IvyPool *cough cough*

Her attitude towards blossomfall is because she was scared for her kit

“I made a video about that two years ago, and I’ll do it again” **me laughing and waiting for another biannual Millie video**

She overreacted a lot and definitely hurt her kits but she was nice and a good mate to Graystripe.

Hmmmm good point.... At this point I dunno what side I’m on 😐

I used to hate Millie but then I realized that everything she was trying to do. By the time when blossomfall went to train in the darkforest I felt bad for Millie. She is trying her best to be a mother and protect her children which is hard. With briar having injury. Bumblestripe having love issues (not anymore I don’t think) and blossomfall trying to go into the bad guys side. It’s hard for Millie taking care of them. What she did was wrong about attacking and ignoring blossomfall which I agree but she was mainly stressed cause of it. She truly loves her kits and if u went through the same thing I’m sure everything will have been the same..

I never got y ppl hated on Millie. I thought this exact vid before BGA posted

I honest to StarClan do not understand why people seem to hate Millie so much lmao

I thought Lilyheart was the best mother.

If Millie had shared her love for her kits equally, I would agree

Life: we have many cats In Your clan, like SO many, witch one? Graystripe : NO
