I bet you're all so excited, IT'S ANOTHER LET'S TALK ABOUT!
>< Spoilers for Mapleshade's Vengeance Below ><

Alrighty. I think that's how I'm going to start off Let's Talk Abouts now, with Alrighty. Alrighty, let's get started with the daily Let's Talk About.

Today, let's talk about Mapleshade. I strongly believe she is the best villain in warriors. And I get where she's coming from with all of this.. Murder stuff. You know, Appledusk could've been a tad bit more responsible with being, you know, A FATHER. And then, with the whole Reedshine thing, you know... He was cheating on his mates. Come on now. (Actually, I was doing some research for this, one of the Google Autofill responses was 'Appledusk Deserved It' and I was laughing like crazy) But honestly, APPLEDUSK DESERVED IT. Appledusk, in my opinion, is one of the worst mates in warriors (Almost put 'mothers' and thought we were talking about Rainflower!). So, why did Mapleshade go all nuts? Well, here's the thing. If you didn't know.. Her kits died. They. Drowned. It was pretty much all Appledusk's fault. Mapleshade went into a state of what I would call insane depression, where she was so upset about the deaths of her kits that she started hallucinating. It really wasn't her fault. Mapleshade was LITERALLY driven insane with depression. She thought she heard her kits telling her to get, well, vengeance. And that's what she did. She killed three cats, Appledusk, Ravenwing, and Frecklewish, in order to avenge her three kits. Mapleshade SUCCEEDED. And that's what makes her my favorite villain.

Also, have we talked about the epicness of a She-Villain? I don't think we have. I'm sorry. I have to mention that Mapleshade is the first TRUE female villain in warriors, and that is AMAZING. Mapleshade is so cool! Not the part about killing all of those cats, but she DEFIED THE BOUNDARIES by being the epic female villain she is! A not-so-epic female villain to talk about in the next 'Let's Talk About It' is Rainflower. Ugh... Rainflower.
