I can hear it now: *Gasps* Yew! How dare you? Millie? Ewww! She's the worst! I hate her!

Hear me out, though! Millie is a good cat! Alrighty, heya she's and toms, and welcome back to another Let's Talk About! *Raise your hand if you want another LGBTQ+ Ship LTA* No? Too bad, that's what you're getting next time.

Millie is an extremely controversial character in Warriors, and the Warriors Fandom doesn't exactly see eye to eye on her. So today, I'm going to be telling you why Millie is extremely underrated. (Fun fact: Did you know the Warrior Cats are British? They are!)

Millie is hated on the most for the Briarheart/Blossomfall thing. While I understand the views being portrayed in this argument, I understand Millie in this situation as well. Let's go deep into our brains for a second. Imagine if you were a mother. You have two daughters, one son, and a loving husband. The night before tomorrow, you kiss your kids goodnight and your daughters ask you to read to them. You read to [Blossomfall] and [Briarlight] when all of a sudden, [Briarlight] jumps out of bed and hugs you. Your heart swells with love for both of your daughters and you wish them goodnight. The next day, you take [Briarlight] to gymnastics [hunting] and while you're driving, a car cuts you off [tree falls]. Your cars slam together, and you black out. The next morning, you wake in the hospital, feeling a bit lightheaded, but well enough to stand. Your eyes widen. "[Briarlight]!" You cry. You beg the doctor to see your daughter, and they sigh and lead you to [Briarlight]'s room. [Briarlight]'s eyes widen. "Mom!" She struggles to sit up, falling back down. "[Briarlight]?" You ask concernedly. The doctor pulls you aside to tell you that [Briarlight] will never walk again, never play, never [hunt]. You return home with [Briarlight], to see that [Blossomfall] has written "I love you, mom!" On the wall. Exasperated and tired, you get upset with [Blossomfall]. [Briarlight] feels bad, and tries to tell you she's okay, but you're so worried and sad. Your daughter is paralyzed. How are you supposed to care about anything else?

whew that took a while ^^

So, imagine that you were in Millie's situation. It's hard not to empathize with her! And people hate on Millie for caring too much about Briarlight and not enough about her other children! But I feel like, if I were a mother, I'd probably do that too. I feel bad for Millie. Then, Briarlight DIES. It's horrible. I feel that the hate Millie gets is unnecessary. She's just a cat. She made mistakes, but in the end, she was just trying to help Briarlight. She brought happiness to Graystripe and was a good mother. She was not the horrible cat she was made out to be by our fandom.

Yew out.
