Cloudtail x Brightheart or Swiftpaw x Brightheart? Which Tom Will Brightheart be Happiest With? by Frostkit

Frostkit wonders who would’ve been a better mate for Brightheart.

Hey! It’s Frapple! (Osprey came up with the nickname. Bow to them. UwU) Anyway, I’ll be writing ANOTHER article, and it’s on Brightheart and who we ship her with.

(Note: I will NOT be attacking BrightCloud in this article.)
(Another note: I will be a bit biased here, so try not to get too offended if you’re a BrightCloud shipper. Which you probably are. :P)

So, you’ve obviously noticed the title. (And if you’ve read my attacking BrightCloud article, you’d know that I dislike the ship. If you don’t know WHY, I won’t be going over that in detail again, so go ahead and look at the other article about BrightCloud, if it got published, obviously. 😛 Just in case, I’ll go over everything with not as much detail.) Since BrightCloud is not my favorite, I’ll be going over BrightSwift, (Brightheart x Swiftpaw) which some people surprisingly ship, including me! 😀 I’m not going to put much more into this intro because you’ve read the title, and you know what I’m going to be doing. Let’s get started!

I’ll just quickly review Swiftpaw and his history with Brightheart first. So, Swiftpaw is not really that much of a big deal. He’s a side character who is just a normal apprentice. He decides he wants to attack the dogs in the first place because he wants to prove to Bluestar that he is worth becoming a warrior or something? My memory is a bit rusty, sorry. Anyway, he happens to take Brightpaw with him. They attack those dogs, and they kill Swiftpaw, and severely injure Brightpaw. You might be saying, “Frapple, why do you ship these cats if they barely know each other?!” And if you’re wondering that, just know that Swiftpaw and Brightpaw were shown to be good friends. A lot of people also think they would be cute together, so that’s how the unpopular ship came to be. So, that’s basically all of the history of them being together. 😛

Now, I’ll talk about the quite overrated ship, BrightCloud. So almost right after Brightheart gets injured, Cloudtail suddenly starts hanging around with Brightheart, and spending a lot of time with her. And Brightheart doesn’t seem to mind. After Brightheart gets better, she and Cloudtail develop a relationship, and they eventually become mates. But a while later, Daisy comes into ThunderClan. Cloudtail gets connected with her. Brightheart gets jealous and feels dumped because Cloudtail (I keep typing ‘Cloutail’!!! kslfuhsiepjofdkjhreuipo) isn’t really spending much time with her anymore, and is sitting around, and hunting and training with Daisy. Soon, Cloudtail breaks his bond a bit with Daisy so they don’t feel attracted to each other, and Brightheart and Cloudtail are back together. So that’s basically it!

So, now I will be giving bad points about BrightCloud, and I’ll be countering that
