Nightpaw ranks some cross-clan relationships

Hi there! This is Nightpaw/wind with his third article, and today I will be rating all warrior cats cross-clan ships that involve one cat from Riverclan and one from Thunderclan. Without further ado, let us begin.

Spoilers for Bluestar’s Prophecy, and Mapleshade’s Vengeance.

Bluefur x Oakheart: 3/10
I don’t really like this ship. First of all, it was too rushed. They only met, like, 3 times, and then, Voila! Bluefur’s expecting kits. Second, it kinda ruined Bluefur. Bluefur told Thrushpelt she didn’t want to become mates with him because she has grand plans to become deputy of Thunderclan. But when Oakheart came along, she temporarily threw all her deputy plans in the trash bin, and became mates with him and was expecting his kits. And then when her kits are born, Thrushpelt, despite being rejected by Bluefur, pretends to be the kit’s father, to save Bluefur from getting in trouble for loving a Riverclan cat. What a noble soul Thrushpelt has. Anyway, as I explained in my article “Why to Love and Hate Bluestar” (Check it out if you haven’t already), Bluefur wanted to become deputy when she was a queen, and so she brought her kits to Riverclan. This resulted in her becoming deputy, but at the cost of one of her kits dying, and the other two never learning who their true mother was until a few years later.

Mapleshade x Appledusk: -200000/10
Mapleshade and Appledusk had kits and then Mapleshade accidentally got them killed and then Appledusk abandoned her for Reedshine. Need I say more?

Graystripe x Silverstream: 7/10
Unlike the other 2 ships, I actually liked this ship. I liked this ship is because most fairytales have the brave knight defeat the evil witch and rescue the princess, which causes them to fall in love, marry, and live happily ever after. But in this scenario, Silverstream rescued Graystripe, which caused them to fall in love, and marry.

This concludes my article of rating Riverclan-Thunderclan ships. What are your opinions on these three ships? Tell me in the comments below. Thank you for taking time out of your day to read this article! Bye for now!
