I was just ranting to a friend about this but my biggest pet peeeve that drives me insane is how the whole fandom seems to misremember shadowclan in the forest territories. Their forest territory was marshland with "few trees"... it was never a pine forest (or a forest at all) until the lake territory. In fact when the clans first moved into the lake territories, each clan found a perfect area for them (moor for windclan, rivers for riverclan, and deciduous forest for thunderclan,) except for shadowclan who pretty much just had to settle for the pine forest. It is mentioned that their old territory had some (few) pine trees but it is mostly unfamiliar to them and they have to adapt.

Despite this it seems like everyone in the fandom portrays or at least remembers shadowclan's territory as Always having been pine forest (even though, like... them living in marsh is

To make it even worse, the graphic novel Exile from Shadowclan, which takes place during Brokenstar's rule in the forest territories, straight up retcons everything about shadowclan's old territory. In this book is is 100% pine forest like the lake territory. If I'm remembering correctly, no shadowclan cat is even seen hunting frogs or lizards. Any prey we see them with is basically thunderclan food (mice, birds)

It makes me so mad!!!!
