Scales and Tails: A Wings of Fire and Warriors Podcast

tried to keep this book review short and sweet so i didn't spoil too much of the book for you guys- especially for those of you who haven't read divergent- but i hope you still enjoyed it! make sure to check out illusion's delusions and help illusion grow their podcast. this is definitely a favorite of mine, so if you love wings of fire-related content, rambles, and book content in general, then you'll love it! question of the day: what was a book or book series you loved when you were little? i loved the junie b. jones series (which kind of got me in trouble when i was younger...) and what my mom and I call the "clementine books." i don't really know what it's called, but you can probably look it up and find the title of the series? have a great day!! :) email me at: scalesandtailspodcast@gmail.com

like we said, there's a lot of harsh and very adult topics involved in this series, so if you're a young listener (which is a lot of you), please do not read this series until you are an appropriate age. and if you do want to read this series and you're on the older side of the spectrum for young listeners, be sure to look at a synopsis before reading it and/or have a parent or older sibling read it before you do, because like we said- harsh topics. apart from the intense themes, i think this book series is a great mystery with some surprising plot twists at a time when you'd least expect it! on the lighthearted side of book reviews, i think i'm going to read keepers soon (because rainy convinced me to... and because so many of you recommended it to me)! are y'all excited? i just hope i don't get emotionally attached to a character... *looks at heartless and the first arc of warriors* also, can y'all check out my spotify profile (it's {⭐︎junipers.jams⭐︎} and maybe even give me a li'l follow)? i've added a bunch of new playlists with both music and podcast episodes that I think some of you would enjoy. :) question of the day: what's a book you've always wanted to read? for me, it's definitely the cruel prince by holly black or pretty much any book by sarah j. maas, since i've heard they're pretty awesome books (although i have to do a bit of research since it's on the older side of the spectrum of y.a. novels...). have a great day!! :) email me at: scalesandtailspodcast@gmail.com

sorry for saying so many things to rainy (the host of talon talk, i shouted out his podcast about a year ago) in this episode... it was unplanned, but hope you enjoyed the shoutout, rainy (a proper one coming soon)? in this episode, i shared some life updates and rambled a bit about music, wishpool's return- at least, we hope, content ideas, and even had an interruption from my little brother duck, of course. also ignore my laugh when duck came in, the microphone made it really weird. hopefully the better quality of this episode makes up for the horrible and slightly cringe episode i did about hozier... anyways, should i do a back to school advice episode? a couple of my listeners have asked me to give me some advice, so i thought i'd discuss the idea of it. the advice will probably be very horrible and would probably sound like the advice everyone gives, but does that sound like a good episode to you?

(quick disclaimer: i recorded this late at night- which means i'm quiet, so crank your volume- and with earbuds rather than a microphone, so the quality will be worse than my other episodes- i also rambled a bit before reacting just so this episode was a bit longer. however, if you don't want to listen to the rambles, skip to about 12 minutes in. enjoy!!) if you like juniper yapping about ukulele, her hatred for frank ocean, band, hozier, and more, than this episode is for you! today (well, technically last night) i live-reacted to hozier's new release, unaired. and if you're on spotify, check out the thumbnail for this episode... also, shoutout to rainy from talon talk for leaving me the nicest comment on spotify! I've had people ask me recently for recommendations on wings of fire podcasts that still post, and talon talk is the perfect mix of wof content and rambles. thanks rainy :). question of the day: what's your favorite song you've heard on the radio recently? mine is obviously too sweet by hozier, but i also enjoy birds of a feather by billie eilish. have a great day!! email me at: scalesandtailspodcast@gmail.com

so, uh, totally random and spur of the moment episode here!

this has been a highly requested episode, since many of my listeners are looking at starting a podcast, or are already podcasters! whether you're confused about the new spotify for podcasters update, or you just need a little nudge in the right direction to get a good start on your podcast, this is the episode for you. and even if you don't have a podcast or aren't looking to start one, you can still feel free to listen to this episode. from cover art to putting your analytics to use (which many of my tips in this episode relate back to using your analytics to create great episodes), I try to give many tips on how you can make a wonderful podcast your listeners will enjoy. :) also, if I sound like I can't speak for the life of me, that's because I had just woken up before I recorded this episode, and it took multiple tries to record this.

since you guys heard me obsess over this book so much in the last episode, I thought, why not give you guys a book review of one of my favorite books right now? divergent by veronica roth is a wonderful book (as I say many, many, many times in this episode... so bear with me when I call every single word in this book ✨wonderful✨), and it definitely needs to be shared with the world more! in this episode, I explain how the factions (groups of people who have different beliefs, and blame certain things for an uprising many years ago) work in divergent, some of the plot- but however, I do not share everything because, let's be honest, spoiling a great dystopian book for someone just sucks all the thrill out of reading it, the characters. (also, I sound very bored at some parts, and I can assure you, I'm not... just tired and most definitely not prepared for band today.

last year, I did a ramble episode, and that was enjoyed by many listeners, so I decided to do another one! however, I do get very off-topic sometimes and yap nonstop... but it's a ramble episode, so that makes total sense, right? then again, I do say a lot of things that make absolutely no sense... and completely lose my mind talking about how I can't remember my listeners names at the very end, so you may need to listen to this twice to understand my very funky brain.

(yappity-yap-yap warning: I talk pretty fast, so you may want to slow down the episode just a tiny bit... ok, maybe a lot) apologies for not uploading this sooner, this album came out the day before I went on vacation, and just a few days after spotify for podcaster did a huge update, which took the in-app recording features away. unfortunately, this made it hard to record in one day, so I had to postpone it. this episode was also originally going to be recorded with wishpool, but since our schedules didn't really line up that day, we just listened to the new album and recorded our ratings of the tracks in a notes document, so hopefully you still get some good episode content out of that! another thing you may notice- no more intro music! I know, very sad, since I do love my intro music very much, but since I recorded this in my voice memos app (with my microphone, so hopefully the quality was improved, and if not, sorry!), there was no way I could have added intro music. but, hopefully, you guys still enjoy this episode. :) also, I shared my story of how I became a onerepublic fan! sorry for getting so, so, SO off-topic when I explained my story, but I hope you guys get a basic understanding of how much I love them

ah, yes, ✨the fault in our stars✨... quite literally one of the best books in existence. the book and the movie have won some (and by some, I mean many) awards. I love, love, love this book endlessly and have read it as many times as I've read moon rising (for those of my listeners who have been here a long while, you know ive read moon rising a LOT- and a lot is putting it lightly...), so I decided to review it on the podcast because it's a book that NEEDS to be shared. however, this book also focuses on some topics including death, cancer, loss of a loved one, and (in the book) frequent cussing (though this episode is not explicit). if those are uncomfortable for you to hear, I suggest holding off listening to this episode until you feel ready or listening with someone who understands why you feel uncomfortable listening to these kind of topics for moral support. also, there are some scenes in the book that aren't exactly easy to read- so for my younger listeners, you may want to wait until reading this or have someone who's older than you read it first just to make sure it's "safe." by the way, some of the segments in this episode took me many, many, many tries to record, so I would greatly appreciate if you listened to it. no pressure, though, if you don't want to listen to me rambling about hazel grace and her splendiferousness (that's not a word, I know, I made it up), then that's completely fine. oh, and of course, we can't let this be an episode without a question of the day! what is a book you have always wanted to read? for me, this would have to be the divergent trilogy, because I heard that they're great dystopian books! hopefully I can pick it up sometime soon and review it. :) I don't normally do this, but since I've been loving this song lately, here's a song recommendation of the day- all my love by noah kahan has been stuck in my head for the past couple days... and I love it! if you could take a couple minutes out of your day and tell me what you think of it, that'd be awesome. have a great day! email me at: scalesandtailspodcast@gmail.com spotify: {⭐︎junipers.jams⭐︎}

those of you that missed my little brother moonpaw, he's back (as duck or ducky) now! duck makes some guest apperances in this episode from time to time, singing blink-182... and gives me the biggest side-eyes you've ever seen, except you can't see them. by the way, there maaay be an episode with duck coming soon!

So, I've been gone for a while, and that's because I've been undergoing the process of reinventing my podcast. My new podcast (yes, I'll stay on this account and all my old episodes will still be available) will be called Juniper's Jams, and I'll focus on books, book reviews/recommendations (so if you guys have any books or series you want me to check out that would be wonderful!), music, music artists, and some more random things. I may touch the topic of Wings of Fire and Warriors every now and again, but it won't be a frequent episode topic. I hope you'll support me through this change and if you don't want to, I understand. You do you. Scales and Tails: A Wings of Fire and Warriors Podcast has been such a fun chapter this past year and a half, but I think I need to close it and start a new one. You guys have been the BEST fans I could ask for. You've been so supportive, loving, and hilarious. I've loved all of your guys' fan art, stories, and all the other little things you sent me. Love you (platonically, of course)!

"She released a phantom clear vinyl, which is only availible at Target. I don't collect vinyls, but I could just... put it on display. It'll probably be an impulsive purchase, along with that weighted dinosaur plushie I bought last month.... *nervous laughter*." "PAPOW PEW PEW PSHHDEHIUEHWFNSSHHHH POW and those other explosion noises." "Yeah, the- the- the machine thingy. That's what we're calling it for now." "Did you guys see the black dog in the music video? Yeah, that's my favorite part." ‼️ Trigger Warning: After I talk about my Swiftie origin story, I do talk about how Taylor uses some drug and alcohol metaphors in her new songs, so if that's a hard topic for anyone to listen to, I suggest that you don't listen to that segment. I am not trying to influence anybody in any sort of negative way, I just felt like it was necessary to address that some of the metaphors she uses aren't always the best. ‼️ How many of you are HYPED UP about Taylor Swift's new album! Or should I say, ✨double album✨? I know I am- considering I let out a bloodcurdling scream when she announced it during the Grammys (ask my family, they could hear it from across the house!

"Uhm, Juniperheart, why are you talking about Darktail face painting and Breezepelt teaching a kindergarten class and hogging all the juice boxes? Isn't that what Warrior Cats DON'T do?" Well, to answer your question, random person that has gotten ahold of my laptop and somehow typed two sentences in the description of this episode, that's because... I'm back with another episode!.. after catching a winter cold (womp womp womp!) and having rehearsals again. Anyways, this was a super fun episode to do, and I love categorizing Warriors characters. I find it... very fun but relaxing at the same time. Do you guys want me to do more episodes like this? (Please say yes, I would do like a million of these with a million different guests :D!) Since I haven't done my question of the day in a while- well, what seems like an eternity- I'm back with the question of the day! Three of them! Question of the day 1: If you could use a color to describe yourself, what would it be? Mine would be yellow or blue (I wear blue ALL. THE. TIME.) Question of the day 2: What's your favorite instrument you've played? And if you don't play an instrument, what instrument sounds best to your ears? I love the trombone since I play it, but the instrument that sounds best to my ears is a snare drum or a guitar And finally, Question of the day 3: Who are your favorite music artists? My favorites are Taylor Swift and OneRepublic, but the honorable mentions go to Bon Iver, Harry Styles, and Chris Stapleton (kudos to Moonpaw for recently introducing me to some of his songs). I hope you guys have a great day! :) ~Juniperheart~ Email me at: scalesandtailspodcast@gmail.com Follow my Spotify: {⭐︎junipers.jams⭐︎}

It's been a long time coming... see what I did there? ;) Anyways, yes, it's been a very long time since I've recorded an episode. I know you guys probably thought I was dead, not responding to emails, and how did I not see your new comments and reviews? They were so nice :). It's been over two months now since I recorded an episode, and I did so much in that time- I helped my family out for the holidays and for New Year's, had a band concert (which meant I practiced my trombone like NOBODY'S BUSINESS)... and had what seemed like a trillion tests & quizzes I had to prepare and study for. Study guides galore, hooray! I was recently talking to one of my friends (you know who you are, shoutout to you! ☺️), and we were talking about all the pressure that's been lifted off of our shoulders after the past few months and the holidays and taking breaks after all that to calm our minds. I said that doing the 1-year anniversary episode was a LOT for me to do, and that podcasting was occupying my brain and taking over my priorities, so I needed to set my laptop and microphone aside and take a breather... and that little breather ended up being a two-month-long breather. Kind of like Darkstalker's two thousand year nap! So, I hope you guys enjoy the new episode! I had so much fun making it, because I've been in this whole Taylor Swift "kick" lately, because, let's be honest, Reputation Taylor's Version is coming. *hiss* ✨tHe wOrLd GoEs oN aNoThEr dAy AnOtHeR lLaMa, BuT nOt fOr MeEe aLl I tHiNk AbOuT iS lLaMaS✨ Yes, I know those are not the correct lyrics. In this episode, I continue my series of Wings of Fire dragons as songs, but Taylor Swift edition! I know, I know. I'm a Swiftie ;). From Clearsight expressing herself through The Lakes to Tsunami jamming out to the bass boom in Look What You Made Me Do and screaming at Queen Scarlet "LOOK WHAT YOU MADE ME DO, SCARLET!" to Sunny carrying a boombox on her head and blasting You Need to Calm Down, telling everyone to calm down and let go of all their shame and worries, I talk about what feels like everything. Can anyone picture Winter in a Junior Jewels t-shirt? I think I just discovered my next art project :o. Woah, I think I need to bleach my eyes out after picturing Winter wearing a Junior Jewels t-shirt and thick-rimmed glasses with a thick blonde Barbie wig jamming out to some cool funky music scribbling messages on his notebook with a glittery pen (of course) to his neighbor, Moon, who, of course, ignores him. *finds the trusty Oxi-Clean bleach and dumps it on my eyes like no one's business* so, if you need me, I'll just be buying some more Oxi-Clean! Have a great day, muchachos (and muchachas). ~Juniperheart~ Email me at: scalesandtailspodcast@gmail.com Follow my Spotify: {⭐︎junipers.jams⭐︎}

hip, hip, hooray! HAPPY BIRTHDAAAY TO YOOOUUU... HAPPY BIRTHDAAAY TO YOOOUUU... HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR SCALES AND TAILS A WINGS OF FIRE AND WARRIORS PODCAAAST... HAPPY BIRTHDAAAY TOOO YOOOOOUUU!!

This is my first upload in nearly three weeks. Wow. I apologize for taking a break, as my life has been busy- with two weeks of rehearsals preparing for tech, then tech week, then opening night (and closing night), then not knowing what to do with my first free week (no rehearsal, no after-school commitments, nothing!). I tried to make a podcast, but since I haven't picked up a Wings of Fire or Warriors book (I'm trying to focus on uploading more Wings of Fire/Warriors content rather than my rambles or Taylor Swift stuff- or any unhinged content

are we out of the woods? is the blank space not blank anymore? did she finally shake it off her to-do list? yes! 1989 tAyLoR's VeRsIoN is finally here!! yaaay :) see what I did there?

HEY EVERYONE! :D IT'S ME, YOUR FAVORITE AND YOUR ONLY HOST JUNIPERHEART. WHY AM I TALKING IN ALL CAPS? THIS IS HIGHLY unprofessional. oookay, I'm off of caps lock (phew). AnYwAys... in this episode, I share my experience from when I "met" Tui T. Sutherland... on Zoom (it's not really Zoom, it was some sort of third-party website that Barnes and Noble made lol

"meh llama jama ding dong" -Wishpool, October 2023 "I can speak 8 languages (English English-Gibberish, Gibberish, Spanish, Spanish-Gibberish, French-Gibberish, Italian-Gibberish, Russian-Gibberish)" -Juniperheart, October 2023 "My eyes are brown when they want to be" -Juniperheart, October 2023 (and for clarification, I said this while we weren't recording) "It's not me llamo, it's me llama jama ding dong" -Wishpool, October 2023 have a great day... eh he he. ~Juniperheart~ Email me at: scalesandtailspodcast@gmail.com Spotify: {⭐︎junipers.jams⭐︎}

very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very huge headphone warning, as we do get very very very very very very very very very very loud in certain parts of this episode (aka like, every single minute of this episode

yup, as it says in the title, I'll be updating you on things like why there's been soooooo freaking many audio cuts in recent episodes (ahwfegoeufig my microphone), my upload schedule, et cetera. thank you all for your never-ending patience and understanding. I'm not kidding when I say I appreciate you. qotd: what are you going as for halloween/what are you doing for halloween? (ik I should probably be asking this at a later time.. but I'm super excited for halloween eeeeeek) have a fantabulous day my amazingly swag-tastic splendiferous human beans

Side note(s): -There are two times where the audio blips out, and that was not me being silent (that was my sassy microphone) -I recorded this on a Monday and published it on a Thursday, because I just decided it wasn't anything that needed to be published as soon as possible. If you're like me and you're in drama club, then you might know you spend 7,823,074,803,967 hours on stage... which, with a podcast that uploads weekly, does not mix. The decimal does not terminate (sorry, I did math homework right before I recorded this

✨tHeY sAy I dId SoMeThInG bAd BuT wHy'S iT fEeL sO gOoOoD✨ We interrupt this description that all "sponsors" in this episode are fake and are completely a joke. Though the floor is an awesome human creation. We interrupt this description AGAIN with another couple disclaimers: ~This episode literally took me a while to create, and took a couple of days to record the audio alone, so I'd really appreciate if y'all could listen to the episode! :) ~Some of these OC names are not original (especially Zebedee), and I used the power of ✨GOOGLE✨ to generate these names ~And finally, this episode is completely a joke, so if it makes NO. SENSE. AT. ALL., it's because that's intentional. Anyways, in this episode, your host, Juniperheart, creates some hOrRiBlE Warriors OCs with some hOrRiBlE (and cringey/nonsensical) backstories! You'll hear everything, from Stumpydream's tragedies to Bellafang's whole crisis, to American trucks, to just about everything in between. Also, I put on my very cartoon voice during Raccoonwhisker's story, and some people (Poppyheart a.k.a. Mom) have told me that it can get difficult for them (ahem! Old people ... as Poppyheart calls herself) to hear it. You can email me if you want to hear Raccoonwhisker's (somewhat horrible and totally [wink, wink] original backstory, and I will send you the transcript! *highly autotune funky town plays* SHOUTOUT TIME!!! I WILL BE DOING THIS IN ALL CAPS TO EMPHASIZE THAT I AM SHOUTING.... just kidding. Shoutout to... ~Elinor M ~ShadeShine ~Hazelbranch (go check out her podcast :D) ~SunKissed ~... and basically all the people that have emailed me that I haven't replied to yet. I promise I'll email y'all back soon... for leaving me nice emails, reviews, and comments! *more highly autotune funky town* Question of the Day: What's your favorite song (non-explicit)? I was thinking of adding them all to a Spotify playlist. Have a great day! ~Juniperheart~ Email me at: scalesandtailspodcast@gmail.com Follow my Spotify: {⭐︎junipers.jams⭐︎}

Wow, we've finally hit 40 episodes- and on top of that, 13,000 plays! I want to thank you guys so much. You all are the reason why I have gotten this far in my podcasting journey. :D In this episode I talk about why I love Wings of Fire so much, why it is an important part of my personality, on top of why EVERYONE (yes, including you!!) should read Wings of Fire. Sorry if my voice sounds groggy and very tired, I got back from a vacation the same day I recorded this. I'm also a little quieter than usual, so you might want to turn up the volume a little bit. Quick question of the day for you guys: do you consider tater tots a breakfast food? I know I do, but I don't know what your opinions are.

(quick disclaimer: if you hear any weird noises, that's my microphone being very naughty) (quick disclaimer numero dos: if you hear any sounds like water running during the outro, the shower was running.... :D?) I apologize for this getting postponed, I took a very spur-of-the moment break. So, I guess this is 3 specials in 1! I collected so many questions from friends, family, and you guys, my listeners. All the questions took up two full pages in my notebook! I want to thank y'all for so many plays, you all mean so much to me. Also, random side note, I'm listening to some Taylor Swift music while I write the description for this episode, so here's a music break. ✨gOt a LoNg LiSt Of StArBuCkS lOvErS✨ ✨tHeY'lL tElL yOu I'm iNsAnE✨ ✨bLaH bLaH bLaH tAyLoR sWiFtIe StUfF✨ (yes, I know those aren't the correct lyrics. Continue my cover in the comments xD) Just so you know- and so this doesn't get destroyed by copyright- that was my beautimous rendition of Blank Space by Taylor Swift. SLAY, AM I RIGHT? Listen to the full 55-minute episode for more jokes like this! Have a great day. ~Juniperheart~ Email me at: scalesandtailspodcast@gmail.com Follow my Spotify: {⭐︎junipers.jams⭐︎}

In this episode, your host Juniperheart, sits down and calmly ranks cats- well, except for the whole Tigerstar the First thingy (but we're not going to pay much attention to that

Quick side note: Once again, I want to thank you all for 10,000 plays! This is a huge accomplishment, so to celebrate, I'm doing a huge Q & A! You don't have to worry about asking questions relating to Wings of Fire or Warriors. However, please refrain from asking any inappropriate/very personal questions, as those will not be answered. If you don't have access to Google, then you can leave an Apple Podcasts review, drop a comment on Spotify, or send me and email! Those are all ways you can get your questions answered. (yayy :D) Like I said, this episode was not an original idea, this was inspired by the WoF podcast Talon Talk, so make sure to check it out! I wrote down 20 questions all relating to Wings of Fire, and in this episode I try to answer every single question, from Wings of Fire YouTubers to grumpy queens like Coral! I mean, what? I didn't say anything, Your Majesty! AHHH NO SEAWING ANIMUS ARE CHASING ME!! *throws a box of crayons at them and runs away in Juniperheart-y style* Guess I shouldn't have said anything about Her Majesty Coral. With that... chaotic occurrence aside, it's time for shoutouts! Shoutout to... ~Thatrandomtherian ~Frostbite the IceWing ~Sydney ~Jillian ~Taipan the SandWing ~Honeycomb ~and Braniac the NightWing ....for leaving me nice emails, reviews, and comments! *huffs and puffs* That was a LOT of shoutouts and have a great day! ~Juniperheart~ Email me at: scalesandtailspodcast@gmail.com Follow my Spotify: {⭐︎junipers.jams⭐︎} Google Form thingymajigy: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScNqpn_z41bpUyWePrEr80WHgsioBmQbY7uBZc6ABQHR0MbDg/viewform 

Lately, I've noticed a lot of my episodes have been really serious and/or chaotic, so in this episode your host, Juniperheart, rambles about anything (and everything) while making some jewelry! This episode is pretty long, so I suggest you find something to do to occupy your time while listening. I did make another bracelet while I wasn't recording, but that will be shown on the cover. Comment your favorite piece of jewelry that I made :). ✨nObOdY lIkEs PeEtA mElLaRk✨ hehe, yeah. Before I sign off, make sure to check out my friend Whale's podcast, Talon Talk!

(if you're on Spotify, check out the cover art of Pit Viper) For your second free provided piece of context, we did not eat the metaphorical OC steak, though Wishpool is on the verge of doing that. ;) ANYWAYSSS.... in this episode, your host, Juniperheart, brings back her bestie Wishpool for some ✨very chaotic✨ OC roasting. It'S aN oC bArBeCuE! Sorry if we were terribly loud during the ASMR break and about every single other segment of this episode. Before I give out a few shoutouts, Wishpool would like her own paragraph to say something to y'all. ~schnazzy music~ Wishpool: I am da bomb dot com!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Juniperheart: Anythin' else? Wishpool: You have been replaced by a random one of your listeners. Juniperheart: *cries in a corner* ~more schnazzy music~

⚠️‼️trigger warning: mentions of bullying and anthropomorphism‼️⚠️ This is one of the biggest debates in the Warriors fandom right now, and in this episode, your host, Juniperheart shares her perspective of this debate, along with a couple of experiences. Like I said before, society has tried to "label" us so much today, and instead of seeing that we view the storyline of Warriors as something great, they see that we identify as the cats from the books. (Keep in mind that I am a full supporter of the anthropomorphic community- who have the courage to express themselves!) And, finally, shoutout to Honeycomb and Hibiscus. ✨soupy soup✨ For those of my listeners in Canada (raging wildfires), the U.S. (experiencing the aftermath of Canada's wildfires), and France (dealing with riots), stay safe, and for those of you in the U.S., have a great Independence Day! ~Juniperheart~ Email me at: scalesandtailspodcast@gmail.com Follow my Spotify: juniper.4.a.heart

(Like I mentioned before, The Hunger Games is a very dark series involving death and other dark concepts, so if you get provoked by those easily, then I suggest you don't listen to this episode. Well, if you want some serious laughs when Juniperheart sings some very odd songs, then stick around! :D) Moon treating her wounds with grass and water? Luna and Swordtail fighting constantly over supplies? Clay suffering from... starvation?! This doesn't sound like any Wings of Fire book you've read before. That's because this isn't a book- this is the first annual Wings of Fire Hunger Games (please note that this isn't going to be an annual episode or anything like that)! I think we can all agree that this episode was both hilarious, sad, and utterly baffling overall. Wait, Pineapple! Jambu! Stop fighting! aGhHhHH!!!! Heh heh... Let's just listen to this episode, and be sure to stay tuned until the end to see who won the first annual Wings of Fire Hunger Games- the answer may shock you! Have a great day. ~Juniperheart~ Email me at: scalesandtailspodcast@gmail.com Link to Hunger Games simulator: https://simublast.com/hunger-games-simulator/

I didn't read my Apple Podcasts reviews like I did in the Mother's Day Special, but I'm still rambling about the awesome, amazing, kind and caring fathers in Wings of Fire and Warriors! Like I said, go give your dad, grandfather, uncle, or your eighteenth cousin-twice-removed-thirty-eight-year-old cousin Doug. They probably provide a lot for your family. By the way, shoutout to my dad, Dadpaw! He's a very kind man and a very humble and honorable person. Go listen to Warriors For Dads 101, the episode he's in, and comment something good/hilarious he did. I want him to know that not only his children love him, but the listeners of this podcast think he's great, too. :) *munches on a pair of leather Birkenstocks* Uh... I'm gonna sign off now. Have a great day! ~Juniperheart~ Email me at: scalesandtailspodcast@gmail.com Link to Warriors for Dads 101: https://open.spotify.com/episode/1O0uKklZFfOaCWxpgguIDX

Let's be honest- social media consumes so much of our lives now. Many kids, teens, and even adults who have access to a screen usually spend lots of time on social media. We're either messaging our friends on SnapChat, checking our feed on Instagram, or scrolling through meaningless videos on TikTok (I seriously hope it gets banned soon because there is so much toxic content on it...). So, in this episode, your host Juniperheart has put together a a list of creative hobbies and nice things to do instead of watching people follow the newest dance trend. Hopefully this helps you find some inspiration for your next art project or thing to bake for your new neighbors (and while you're baking those cookies, save some for me, too!) Have a great day! ~Juniperheart~ Email me at: scalesandtailspodcast@gmail.com

(TRIGGER WARNING: DEATH!) Well, we can all agree this was quite an odd and hilarious way to celebrate getting to 5,000 and 6,000 plays.... reading my old fanfiction was actually kind of fun, though! It's cool to see how my writing's changed over the years. As you can tell, I was very committed to writing this, and even started a little trilogy for it. Since this episode was an hour+, it took me many hours to record and I even had to go into the next day to finish it, so I'd appreciate it if you'd leave a nice review or share this with your friends and family.

⚠️Please note that all of these opinions are based off of what I think and are definitely NOT meant to offend anyone!⚠️ (Also, don't come after me for anything I say, please :D) In this episode, I'm going to be doing a little ramble sharing 10 of my opinions about Warriors. From characters to the manga (whaaat?), you may be hearing a lot. Do you agree with any of my opinions? If so, you can leave a review or a comment. Do you have any opinions you'd like to share? Well, go ahead and share them! This is a safe space for you to share anything you want to about our favorite books. This episode was inspired by something Greta from The Book Huggers made called "my 20 unpopular opinions- music, books and podcasting," so go check it out, as it will be linked the description.

It's been a while since I recorded an episode! I apologize for not uploading any content for a couple weeks, as I was busy with school ending and was on vacation. This episode is a continued version of my Wings of Fire Dragons as Songs- which is now one of the most popular episodes on this podcast (thank you, my fellow listeners)! If you want to listen to the songs mentioned in this episode, check out my Spootify-a.k.a. Spotify, juniper.4.a.heart, and find the playlist. If you don't have Spootify, then you can listen to these songs on an Amazon Alexa or on a different music platform if you like: ~Wild Hearts by Keith Urban ~Hello by Martin Solveig, or you can listen to the remix with Dragonette ~Trustfall by P!nk ~Pretty Shining People by George Ezra ~Anyone For You: Tiger Lily by George Ezra ~Budapest by George Ezra ~Paradise by George Ezra (you can't even tell I like George Ezra

Like I said, this episode was certainly weird, fun, chaotic, and gave us a chance to unleash our artistic creativity. I hope you enjoyed Moonpaw's second appearance on this podcast! He was really excited to be on... although he almost fell asleep while making his "C" OC. Oof. Here are the cats we made! -Round A: Juniperheart- Acornspots Moonpaw- Avalanchekit -Round B: Juniperheart- Beetroot Moonpaw- Bleachclaw -finally, Round C: Juniperheart: Centipedepaw Moonpaw: Copperclaw I will have a Google Form (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdkbUyCIaSisHHPGfUOlp39opa57WOMGc8X17Q7Nex8rveB1Q/viewform ) where you can view our OCs and make a little comment about them (NO NEGATIVE COMMENTS, PLEASE!).

Hooray! 5k plays! I'm really excited to record the special. I know I said that I might be doing a collab, but the majority of the Spotify poll I published said "nope! fanfic time!" Maybe I'll do a collab in the future, but definitely not right now, so please don't flood my Gmail inbox with a thousand collab requests. Here is some background info about my fanfiction/ part of its sequel: -There are 3 main characters in the first book: Pineclaw (ThunderClan tomcat), Maplefur (another ThunderClan shecat), and Adderfang (yes, I know this is canon, but I wrote this before I read Bluestar's Prophecy- a ShadowClan tomcat) -I was a little too obsessed with the concept of forbidden relationships, so it's going to be mentioned at least ten times. I was also obsessed with running away from a Clan and starting a utopia, so that's going to pop up towards the end of the book. -The forbidden relationship is between Adderfang and Hawkheart (again, I came up with the name before I read Bluster's Prophecy and realized Hawkheart was a canon name

y'all better go give your mom a hug before you listen to this episode and thank her for being a great mother, and you may want to listen to this episode with her... because I'm going to be acknowledging some of the awesome mothers in Wings of Fire and Warriors! I'm so sorry if I gave away any spoilers you didn't want to hear in this episode- this was my first time going completely unscripted. I'm also going to be reading some of my Apple Podcasts reviews (once again, I'm doing this ✨unscripted✨) and responding to some of them. Just a little disclaimer, I did not read ALL of them, as it would have take me a much longer time than it did to record this episode. If you're not interested in listening to the Apple Podcasts reviews and my responses to them, skip to about 8 minutes into the episode.Should I do a part dos of reading my Apple Podcasts or Spotify reviews and responding to them? You can leave a review/comment if you do, and leave something for me to answer. Remember, the weirder the better!

Hola! Today, we're talking top-tier, New York Times bestselling authors, 100% completely relatable, filled with awesome quotes, and action-packed novels. Yes, my friend, this is Moon Rising by Tui T. Sutherland! Paws down, best book ever

This was my very first attempt at a parody! I had lots of fun recording this, even though it took me a few tries

"Stop petting the spider plant." "That's what Tsunami WOULD do!" *laughing noises* "Uhhh.... Mister Science Teacher?" "Glory can pay for her own cellphone plan." "THE SPIDER PLANT APOCALYPSE!!!" And that's only a glimpse of the gut-busting episode Wishpool and I have put together today! Shoutout to Wishpool for once again, having the bravery to come back on to Scales and Tails. If you loved this episode, make sure to check out our Ranking Warriors Cats. You'll get a good laugh out of that one, too. Have a great day! ~Juniperheart!

Well.. I guess this was interesting. Can you find the three Warriors memes I hid in there? Also, credit to StarKits Prophecy for the image that I am using for the cover art :'). ~Juniperheart~ Email me at: scalesandtailspodcast@gmail.com

Squirrelflight x Bramblestar is probably one of the craziest ships ever! I got a request last month asking if I could do an episode like this, and well... here I am! This was probably one of the best episodes I've ever recorded, but that's not for me to decide. Do you guys like it? What are YOUR opinions on Bramblestar x Squirrelflight?

This is the first episode in a new series called Character Spotlight, where I take a Wings of Fire character and talk about them for 10 or so minutes. For the first episode of Character Spotlight, I chose to do Snowfall! Hopefully you liked it. Also, shoutout to Snowfur for sharing one of her OCs and her fanfiction! Thank you, Snowfur. Final thing: Rest In Peace, Anchor. We will probably never ever see you again, but we know you will live up to your new name, Spotify for Podcasters. You have helped us all create safe spaces where we can ramble on and on. Am I the only one that liked the name Anchor better? ~Juniperheart~ Email me at: scalesandtailspodcast@gmail.com

Thank you guys so much for 1k plays! I'm glad we go this far on our journey. Thank you to everyone that participated in the cover art contest and the Q&A. The cover art will be uploaded for a week or two, and then we'll go back to the normal Scales and Tails cover art. Once again, I'm grateful for you all. ~Juniperheart~ Email me at: scalesandtailspodcast@gmail.com

Ever since I read Onestar's Confession, I've wanted to feature it on my podcast. But not in a boring way! What better way to do it then to try to explain Onestar's confusing, mind-boggling, baffling love triangle, AND to talk about the problem with the female characters in this book? This was quite an interesting episode to record, but I enjoyed doing it. I think that Onestar and Smoke definitely should have stayed together. What about you? What are your opinions on this Super Edition? ~Juniperheart~ Email me at: scalesandtailspodcast@gmail.com

I've been wanting to do this episode for a long time, and boom! It's happened! I had so much fun creating and putting together these dragonets. Maybe someday Tui will make Luna and Swordtail's children, or have Clay and Peril's egg appear some point in the series. Anyways, hopefully you guys enjoyed this episode. ~Juniperheart~ Email me at: scalesandtailspodcast@gmail.com
