To ship or not to ship! (TPB) by Ambersplash

Ambersplash shares their opinion on several ships from the series.

Why hello, fellow BlogClanners! I’m here to analyze some ships in the first series of Warriors, The Prophecy Begins. Hopefully I don’t make a complete fool of myself trying to write a shipping article… :p Maybe if you guys like it, I could turn it into a series and write a shipping article for each series of the Warriors books.

*SPOILERS FOR THE PROPHECIES BEGIN*

Spottedleaf x Fireheart
Ahhh, the classic forbidden love ship… I think this is the first (?) ship in the series, and personally, I’m not a huge fan. I feel like this is more of a middle school crush. Firepaw goes on and on about Spottedleaf’s scent, to the point where it gets a little weird. He barely knows her at all, and she dies in the first book… Maybe if she had stayed alive, this ship could have had potential, but Firepaw having a ghost girlfriend? Creeeeeepppyyyy…. You could argue that she would have been a good mate. After all, Spottedleaf still loved him after death. She sent him dreams, etc. But what if she had stayed alive? Firepaw might not have become leader if he mated with a medicine cat and broke the warrior code.

Here’s my verdict- NOT TO SHIP

Graystripe x Silverstream
This is a very disputed ship in the fandom. You either love it or hate it, and I for one am one of the few who don’t love it or hate it. I used to be obbsessed with this ship, but after reading some BlogClan articles on this subject, I don’t know what to think anymore! Just like Spotted x Fire, this ship’s a little rushed… However, they both sacrificed a lot for each other. In the end, Silverstream died in a result of their love. I cried so hard when that happened ;-;. (Although it was pretty awesome to see Cinderpaw/pelt bossing the almighty Tigerclaw around XD) Their kits grew up to be honorable warriors- I won’t go into that, because that would have spoilers for the next series! I really just can’t say no to this classic ship sooo…

My verdict- SHIP

Cloudtail x Brightheart
Okay, I’ll just go ahead and say it- how could anybody not ship these two? This ship is so heartwarming and wholesome that I want to SQUEAL anytime it’s mentioned! When Brightheart’s face is malled by the dogs, Cloudtail still loves her. His love is unconditional… That’s something so admirable that it warms me from head to toe!

My verdict- SHIP

Cinderpelt x Fireheart
Yep, another Fire ship. Our boy’s a popular guy! XD
This ship is pretty cute, but again, it’s forbidden love, and if it had happened, Fireheart might not have become leader of ThunderClan. Besides, if Cinderpelt was found out, she might not have been able to continue being a medicine cat! She can’t be a warrior, and who would want to take away anything else from our brave baby? *okay, I’ll stop now* This ship just wouldn’t have worked out. 🙁

Verdict- NOT TO SHIP

Fireheart x Sandstorm
Okay, this ship is just…. 👌! In the beginning, Sandpaw was so mean and spiteful to Firepaw, but in the end, they ended up being mates. I love how their personalities compliment each other. Sure, some people would go with Fire x Spotted, but I’m not here to write a defense article :p

My verdict- SHIP

Well, that’s all I have for you today! I hope you enjoyed reading over my very cringey article ;p <3
