History YMMV / Moonkitti

** In " Various Tangential Reasons I'm Worried Squirrelflight Won't Make It" Moonkitti goes into a little detail of an abusive relationship she was in when she was younger. While she's in a much healthier place now and the relationship no longer holds any power over her, she was still abused and mistreated by an older adult who would deliberately set up situations designed to punish her. She even states that the reason she continues to talk about how Bramblestar is abusive towards Squirrelflight is that she can't help but see her own experiences in the books, and that the books either forgive or excuse Bramblestar's behavior while punishing or demonizing Squirrelflight for trying to keep her independence and morality is deeply upsetting and reads like [[UsefulNotes/VictimBlaming]].

* HilariousInHindsight: "Rowanstar joins ThunderClan" has the 'Tigerstar clones' (broad-shouldered brown tabby toms related to Tigerstar) being referred to as Tigerstar with a number after them, such as Bramblestar being called "Tigerstar 2". Less than a year later, ''Tigerheart’s Shadow'' would make Tigerstar II canon.

** Thornclaw's status as 'the patrol guy', from "Ashfur Dies". While him being forgettable was already a common joke in the fandom, his nickname really only took off once her video "Hollyleaf" came out.

** The end of "Stoneclan: Starclan". After an entire series of Skywing being a {{Cloudcuckoolander}} and reckless idiot, and Appleheart being the OnlySaneMan, it all comes to a head when Sneezeslate is poisoned, and everyone suspects Skywing as the culprit. Of all the cats, Appleheart is the one to find Skywing, and the two have a genuine heart-to-heart conversation where Skywing reveals his insecurities. Despite being the person most likely to be annoyed by him, Appleheart comforts his friend, pointing out that [[YouAreNotAlone everyone is worried about him and looking for him]], and that [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre he doesn't need to pull these reckless stunts to be worthy of attention and love.

** The story behind Briarlight's recovery. Victoria Holmes had already planned out Briarpaw's disfigurement and eventual death and had begun to write out the beginnings of her story, only for her cousin to suffer a terrible accident and be paralyzed and bedridden in much the same way Briarpaw was. Vicky, fearing that she had somehow willed the accident into being by writing about Briarpaw being paralyzed, changed her story, drawing inspiration from the techniques doctors used for her cousin to write about Briarpaw's slow and arduous recovery. As her cousin's health improved, so did Briarpaw's. Moonkitti makes no jokes while recounting the story, and while the Briarlight video itself can be rather bleak and melancholic at times, the story behind Briarlight's recovery is one spot of cathartic joy.

* MisBlamed: She was often mistaken as the person who wrote ''Fanfic/StarkitsProphecy'' in Website/YouTube comments of the episodes, as opposed to just the animator. As a result, in some episodes, she had to put a disclaimer that the story and opinions expressed were not hers, and that she was animating the story because she thought it was funny.

** How often she dotes on her two cats, Ocelot and Pepper. It's obvious the two kitties are adored.

** Her thorough and critical examination of "Spottedleaf's Heart", where she picks apart the steps Thistleclaw takes to groom Spottedpaw and how a vulnerable child was taken advantage of- in a book series for children.

** "Talking: Briarlight" is a painful 40 minute breakdown of how unfailingly positive and fun Briarlight was as a character, how close she was with Jayfeather, how richly she served the narrative, how unfairly she was treated by characters around her, and how little of a reason there was for her to be killed off.

* TheScrappy: Moon’s least favorite ''Warriors'' characters are characters that are treated as good despite their actions pointing to the opposite, whether they’re treated as such [[DracoInLeatherPants by the fandom]] or by [[DesignatedHero the writers]]. While her absolute least favorite cat tends to fluctuate depending on fandom attitudes or recent books, some consistent contenders are Breezepelt, [[EntitledToHaveYou Bumblestripe]], [[NeverMyFault Mapleshade]], and Bramblestar. She’s shown vitriol towards Graystripe in “I Spoil A Dangerous Path for everyone” and “I Spoil The Darkest Hour for everyone” for his shifting loyalties, and often when Ivypool and Dovewing are shown interacting in a video, Ivypool’s unreasonable and jealous attitude (despite Dovewing clearly showing that she loves her sister) is not ignored. She also used to hate Blossomfall, but has since begun to warm up to her ''because'' she's so mean.

* BizarroEpisode: "Warrior Cats as Drinks" is this to "Warrior Cats As...". The entire video falls into chaos from Moon having Firestar, her base, as Orange Fanta rather than plain water, a move based off of her spite from comments of the previous video insisting Firestar be Doritos instead of plain potato chips. [[TimeCrash The entire timeline falls apart as a result]], some characters become non-liquid or even inedible substances, and other characters aren’t even from Warrior Cats (including her real life cats). The next installment, "Warrior Cars as Dogs", notes to the viewer that they "learned their lesson last time".

** Referring to Squirrelflight as [[FanNickname Squilf]].

* TheScrappy: Moon’s least favorite ''Warriors'' characters are almost always characters that are treated as good despite their actions pointing to the opposite, whether they’re treated as such [[DracoInLeatherPants by the fandom]] or by the writers. Although her absolute least favorite cat tends to be influx, her consistently most hated are Breezepelt, [[EntitledToHaveYou Bumblestripe]], [[NeverMyFault Mapleshade]], and Bramblestar. She’s shown vitriol towards Graystripe in “I Spoil A Dangerous Path for everyone” and “I Spoil The Darkest Hour for everyone” for his shifting loyalties, and often when Ivypool and Dovewing are shown interacting in a video, Ivypool’s unreasonable and jealous attitude (despite Dovewing clearly showing that she loves her sister) is not ignored. She also used to hate Blossomfall, but has since begun to warm up to her ''because'' she's so mean.
* TearJerker: "Once I Had," a slow, eerie requiem for Dovewing, Jayfeather, and Lionblaze's lost powers that perfectly captures the subsequent emptiness and loss after they've won the great battle and [=StarClan=] has no more use for them. They're left adrift, unsure of what to do now that their destinies are fulfilled, and trying to cope to their new vulnerabilities. Turns into SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments by the end with the Three finding solace with their mothers (Leafpool healing Lionblaze's wound, Dovewing nuzzling Whitewing, and Squirrelflight looking up at Jayfeather).

* BrokenBase: Her Bramblestar video is one of the most contentious she's made thus far. Fans who like Bramblestar argue that her analysis of the situation ignores or downplays how unnecessarily hostile Squirrelflight can be towards Bramblestar when he treats her neutrally, and how she often causes problems in their relationship by keeping secrets and going behind Bramblestar's back (this is partly accurate as although the analysis touches on both of these early on, it does leave out a few of the rude or hurtful things Squirrelflight says to Bramblestar). Those who agree with Moonkitti, meanwhile, will argue that Bramblestar has done his fair share of the same with far less severe consequences (ie, meeting with Hawkfrost and Tigerstar I in secret, something he knows to be wrong but which Squirrelflight inevitably chooses to forget about within a few moons, versus Squirrelflight lying to protect her sister and the Three, something she was ''essentially ordered to do by [=StarClan=]'' and which Bramblestar responds to by being cold and dismissive towards her about for seasons). Considering that her video helped to break the base in the general Literature/WarriorCats fandom instead of just her viewerbase, that's saying something.

* TheScrappy: Moonkitti's most hated ''Warriors'' character used to be Breezepelt until [[EntitledToHaveYou Bumblestripe]] took over the position.
** Graystripe is shown no mercy of her hatred between "I spoil A Dangerous Path for everyone" and "I spoil The Darkest Hour for everyone".
** Ivypool is called out for her unreasonable jealousy towards Dovewing whenever the two sisters are mentioned at the same time.
** Mapleshade is given no flack for her entitled attitude, her [[NeverMyFault shifting blame]], and the fact that many fans still [[DracoInLeatherPants view her as a precious woobie]].
** She does ''not'' like Bramblestar for his abusive behavior towards Squirrelflight, his refusal to admit fault, and his general uselessness as a leader.

*** She talks about ''why'' she was an Ashfur apologist in her teens- namely that she was a bullied child dealing with chronic illness who [[{Hikikomori} didn't leave the house for months]], and that she shared similar experiences to Ashfur, causing her to latch onto him as a comfort character.
*** The moment where Moonkitti thoroughly deconstructs the idea that Squirrelflight should have to choose between two abusive and controlling men, and how putting the onus on Squirrelflight to walk on eggshells around her partner is malicious VictimBlaming.

* SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped: "I Sort-of Spoil Spottedleaf's Heart" is very unsubtle about the fact that Spottedpaw was being [[WifeHusbandry groomed]] by Thistleclaw, detailing that it isn't Spottedpaw's fault and that she should have told the adults around her what was happening, and that the problem was with blatant and obvious pedophilia being portrayed in a romantic light instead of being portrayed as obviously wrong in a book series '''for children'''. Considering that many fans were more concerned about how this "ruined Thistleclaw's character" instead of the impact this book might have on children, Moonkitti's refusal to mince words or make a joke out of the situation is refreshing.

** When Moonkitti takes a moment aside at the end of "Rowanstar Rescue Mission" to thank all her viewers and patrons because the money she makes from a [=YouTube=] career was enough for her to quit her job of dog grooming.

** Thornclaw's status as 'the patrol guy', from "Ashfur Dies".
** The sprite of Bramblekit from "I spoil Rising Storm for everyone", and the nicknames given to him (especially 'Baby Murderface')

** Arguably, the point at which Dovewing's eyes are replaced with Xs to represent the loss of her powers in "Once I had".
