LeTs GeT DowN tO Busi-ness 1 - Brownpaw is... maybe coming to peace with something? Like how hes short? Not totally sure here 2 - think that this is a sort of Softfur timeline? Cause it shows her past life with Dave and Jack, then her current life with Dovestrike and Boulderbutt, and then maybe whats going to happen over in Riverclan? Cause if you look at the bottom bit you'll see that theres a lot of (what I think) is snow, and if you look back at chapter 65 https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/507528568/ it doesnt look like leafbare. It also kinda looks like the scene at the top is a lot more bright than the scene at the bottom, so maybe it's showing that Softfur was happiest when she was with Dave and Jack. The words to the song are also called "This December" enforcing the theory that this is a timeline. 3 - Laurelwing theory time! Ok, so, the words in the back are monster, and if you take a look at Laurelwing she definitely has some monstrous qualities, especially on her face. But if you take another look, you too will probably realize that she doesnt have a "monstrous" expression, she looks surprised/frightened. Theres also some blood on the floor, and I think that this is showing the past when she killed Volesnout. Specifically, what happened after she killed Volesnout. She was probably called a monster, looked like a monster, etc. It also looks like theres some sort of light on her back. It could be a spotlight, because all attention was on her when she killed Volesnout, or it could be the start of wings, because she was turned into butterflies? mayyyybbeeee? 4 - Perfectpaw takes a wrecking ball to everything he touches, and Dave is trying to deter him from that? Cause the paw in the left hand corner is Daves 5 - Ok, so Saffronpaw is going crazy (because hes Saffronpaw), but ThaTs NoT ImPorTanT herE - what is important is the writing on the walls! Near the bottom of the right wall are two very important things - "Why does Brownpaw spend all this time with a stick?", and essentially "Houndpaw is in danger, and hes a danger to us." Now, who is this "us"? Brownpaw, Monarchpaw, and himself? Windclan? Or someone else entirely? The other writing is a little less clear. Brownpaw? With a stick? I think that this scene is in the future, because of this. Ok, onto the other side! Again, it shows on this detective map red string thingy that Brownpaw "likes sticks". It also shows a line between Laurelwing and Houndpaw, with the words POSION between them. Whattt? I think that Saffronpaw is wrong there, just because I don't think Laurelwing would murder Houndpaw. Then again, there was a prophecy about Houndpaw that Shiningstream delivered, and since Laurelwing is against Shiningstream, she could be motivated to kill him. There is also evidence that shows that this is in the past, so something could still happen and it would make Laurelwing want to kill Houndpaw. The left wall also reveals that Cottonstar was Laurelwing's apprentice, (this might have already been revealed but I didn't know about it), so Cottonstar might still be loyal to Laurelwing. it also shows a line connecting Houndpaw to Windclan, with the word "protect?" in the middle. This shows that Saffronpaw is still question Houndpaw's loyalties. There is also a line in-between Laurelwing and Windclan, showing that Laurelwing is still loyal to Windclan. This, too, could be motivation to kill Houndpaw if she though he was a threat to her clan. There is also a line in-between Houndpaw, Monarchpaw, and Brownpaw, with a heart and a question mark beside it. If you ask me, this is definite proof that Houndwing will happen! And, lastly, if you look at Saffronpaw's shadow THERE IS A BUTTERFLY WHERE ONE OF HIS EYES SHOULD BE- *ahem* this could mean more connections to Laurelwing, or something else we don't yet know about. 6 - Not sure about this one, but maybe its kinda showing rivalries? Because Goldenfur, Laurelwing, and Starlingstar are all allies, and Reedstar and Shiningstream are allies. Not sure about Volesnout though. 7 - Boulderbutt being moody. Literally nothing else to say here 8 - Ok, so, we all know that the cat on their back is Volesnout. Im about 85% sure that the cat on the left is Laurelwing, but im not sure about the cat on the right. So I did some research using the ToPH refs, and the only cats who have fur like that are Mountainshine and Ashwing. Now, neither of these characters have ever been mentioned in the series, so I doubt that it's either one of them. Now, it could be someone that isnt in the refs or hasn't been introduced yet, or it could be the spider deity, (though I doubt that because there is proof that Mudstar and Plumbelly are related to the spider deity, and none of them have that kind of fur). Anyway, Volesnout is looking towards the cat on his left while winking, and he did-
-the same thing when he was flirting with Laurelwing. This could mean that the cat on his right is Bearshine, and since we don't know what she looks like, this is a valid theory. If the cat on the right is in fact Bearshine, then this could mean that Volesnout is choosing Bearshine over Laurelwing, even though that already happened. 9 - Ok, so, this cover is AMAZING, and I think it's showing that Dovestrike is absolutely in love with Moonpaw. Why she has wings is a mystery to me, but maybe it'll be revealed later on in the series. 10 - This one could be showing that Seednose is trying to connect with Saffronpaw, and Saffronpaw's just not having it. It could also mean that Saffronpaw is trying to convince his dad of something, because if you look back on Touch Tone Telephone, it seems that no one is listening to him on some topic. What this topic is, we don't know yet, but maybe it'll be reveled later in the series. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk *bows* @9rainbowtails - Art Songs by their respective writers
