Hey Blogclan. It’s Meadowheart! Let’s dive right on in to this article!
I will be stating what my favorite ships are, and what my least favorite ships are, including non-canon ships in a game of ship or rip! Let’s get started!

Starting with The Prophecy Begins Arc

SandxFire: Ship! They have such a cute relationship and I loved reading Firestar’s perspective on her!

FernxDust: Ship! They were adorable and, spoilers for anyone who hasn’t read OoTs, it just broke my heart when Fern died😢

FirexSpotted: Rip. No. Just no. They saw each other for such a small period of time. It was so weird.

CloudxBright: So, I do ship this one in TpB, but, in the later arcs, I think Cloud was wrong in hanging out with Daisy so much. But, that’s just my opinion and I do think they were sweet in the beginning.

CinderxFire: Rip. I mean, it felt more like a brother and sister bond.

GrayxSilver: Ship! I loved this ship so much. Why did she have to die…😭

The New Prophecy Arc

SorrelxBracken: Ship! I thought their relationships were cute throughout the series.

SquirrelxShrew: Ship! They were so cute together as apprentices! It was so sad when he died.

SquirrelxBramble: Rip! He is, in my opinion, a real jerk. And it wouldn’t have really bothered me, either, if Alder and Spark were never born.

SquirrelxAsh: Rip. No way I would like this ship. It was terrible.

FeatherxCrow: Rip… So, I do like both of these characters, but not together… Plus, everybody makes a big deal about Raven and Barley being to far in age or Squirrel and Bramble. And, even if I don’t like these ships, Fern was born in Forest of Secrets, while Crow was born after the events of a Darkest Hour. That is a way bigger age gap than Bramble and Squirrel, though nobody notices it.

LeafxCrow: Ship! I honestly think that this ship is so cute! They found each other in dark times and it just seems to work out! I hope Crow picks Leaf in Starclan!

RavenxBarley: Rip. They are more like brothers than mates.

MothxLeaf: Rip! They are friends! Nothing else.

StormxBrook: Ship! I like it 🙂

Power of Three Arc

HeatherxLion: Rip. It was just a childhood crush.

NightxCrow: Rip. They weren’t even true mates.

Omen of the Stars Arc

DovexTiger: Ship! This is one of my favorite ships and I just find their moments together so cute! They may have some hard moments together, but they always find a way to make amends. They definitely have true love!

CinderxLion: Ship. It’s cute! They find a way to be together no matter what!

DovexBumble: Rip! This ship is bad. Bumble just isn’t right for Dove.

DovexFox: Rip. I liked it, but maybe they were just friends and I feel like Dove likes Tiger more.

IvyxTiger: Rip! Maybe Ivy had some affection towards Tiger because she felt safe with him in the DF, but Tiger was always only interested in Dove. This ship is crazy and would never have worked.

IvyxHawk: Ship! This is the best Non-canon ship to me. Hawk totally loved Ivy, he just wasn’t good at showing it and felt that he had to be bad just like his father. Ivy, on the other hand, may not have loved Hawk, but she probably still liked him. This ship also would have created a cool story line.

HalfxJay: Rip. It is silly to me. I just don’t feel like it was real. Plus, going back in time to be a different cat is a bit weird.

BriarxJay: Ship! It’s so cute!!! I just love it!

StickxJay: Rip, although it makes me laugh when people discuss it😂

HollyxFallen: Ship! Fallen was so nice!

JessyxBramble: Ship! Jessy is like the best kitty pet ever! I think she and Bramble had good chemistry!

Vision of Shadows Arc

NeedlexAlder: Rip! Needle deserves a better mate than Alder.

VelvetxAlder: Rip. It would never have worked.

NeedlexRain: Ship! I actually liked this one, even though Rain was part of the Kin.

VioletxTree: Ship! I like Tree and Violet together a lot and I think Tree is a funny character.

TwigxAlder: Rip. That just is terrible. Plus, I’m not a big fan of Twig or Alder.

TwigxFin: Rip. Fin was silly in moving clans to be with Twig! She just annoys me so much. Although, Fin isn’t much better.

HeatherxBreeze: Ship! They just work well and it’s a sweet couple!

The Broken Code

IvyxFern: Rip… Only because we never really knew Fern, and I just wish we got to see more of him in Ivy’s pov, although he wasn’t even born, which bothers me more…

BristlexStem: Rip. They were better as friends, and everything seemed to work out well.

BristlexRoot: Ship! Ship! Ship! They are so great together! When Bristle died😭 I was crying and I felt Root’s pain.

SpotxStem: Rip. Spot was terrible! I didn’t like her much at all. Stem deserved someone better.

ShadowxAsh: no. No. NO!!!

A Starless Clan

FrostxSplash: this is a very sad relationship. I definitely Rip them, even if Frost cares for Splash.

SunxNight: Maybe. It really is neither ship or rip for me because I’m not sure how this turns out yet. They are both good characters I guess.

SunxBlaze: Rip. Blaze is meant to be with Light.

LightxBlaze: Ship! They love each other so much and have known each other since Light was born!! So cute!!!

FringewhiskerxSpireclaw: Ship! They deserve to be together. Fringewhisker certainly passed her tests!

Ok! All done!! My hands started hurting from typing, so if there were more ships or more books I may have skipped over, post them in the chat and I’ll say if a ship or rip it! Otherwise, have a great rest of your day/night and may Starclan light your path!!

  • *le gasp* Actually, SquilfXBramble REALLY mattered! I mean, BristleXRoot wouldn’t have been formed if AlderHeart and NeedleClaw didn’t find TwigBranch and VioletShine (tbh, I HATE VioletShine, and I didn’t like TwigBranch as le mentor, but oh well) because VioletXTree wouldn’t have happened, so yeah! You say NeedleClaw deserves a better mate- well, they couldn’t have been mates if you even dreamed of it, because AlderHeart is a med cat! (Also, I’m not very fond of Needle, so…) I have so many objections, but I understand this is your opinion, so- yeah. Great Article! *Also, this is sort of non-canon, but MothXWillow seems to be a thing, as well as FallenXHolly*

  • Great article! I agree with most of these, but-

    “SpotXStem: Rip. Spot was terrible! I didn’t like her much at all. Stem deserved someone better.”

    How come Spotfur is terrible?

    “IvyxFern: Rip… Only because we never really knew Fern, and I just wish we got to see more of him in Ivy’s pov, although he wasn’t even born, which bothers me more…”

    You don’t like Fernsong because he didn’t get much page time?

    gj!

  • Okay, I don’t usually comment much as I don’t want to get into arguments ;p and everybody is entitled to their own opinion and so on (for example, BramblexSquirrel is my favorite ship! HOW DARE- see? xD) but I thought I would correct you on one point.

    Bramblestar was born before Feathertail. When Fireheart brings Silverstream’s kits to ThunderClan, Goldenflower was already nursing him and Tawnykit. As for Crowfeather and Squirrelflight, Crowfeather is mentioned to be almost ready for warrior assesment in Midnight, while Squirrelflight is mentioned to be 8 moons old, so he’s definitely older than her. So sorry but the age gap between Feathertail and Crowpaw is actually smaller than between Bramblestar and Squirrelflight.

    (Though personally I don’t care about age differences in Warriors, as long as it’s not THAT one example)

    Anyway, interesting read^^ Even if I have a different opinion on a lot of those ;p

  • I absolutely agree with BristleXRoot…
    Also…
    SHADOWXASH IS A THING?!?!?!?

    However, I do agree with Mallowpaw.
    Spotfur is not terrible! She”s actually pretty decent.
    And uhm
    You don’t like Fernsong cuz he don’t get much page time?

    Sorry, this is just my opinion, I agree with the rest of those tho!

  • {Jaypaw/song}/Jay That Sings To Moon/Excited for CHRISTMAS!/Second things second don't you tell me what you think that I could be... says:

    SquirrelXBramble is life! RAAAH! I think MothXLeaf is super sweet, even though I LOVE CrowXLeaf. How dare you hate Alderheart? He deserved much better than Needletail (even though I love her too!)! Personally, I think Alderheart and Puddleshine deserved to be mates. I really love JayXBriar though, so…+1 point. Otherwise, great article!

  • Great article! I agree with a lot of these, but.

    What’s so bad about spark and alder? They were among the most important cats in the books! And I personally ship squirrel x bramble. It seems unfair their relationship is judged by one book. (And yes, I watched moonkittis video, so please don’t bombard me 😛)

  • I agree with most of them. The ships I don’t agree with is:

    BrightxCloud: Ship! These two is so adorable. I love how much patience Cloudtail has for Brightheart. I can’t say more I just love it <3

    FetherxCrow: Ship! This ship is fantastic and super cute. They had a slow relationship where you could see the love. Feathertail got into Crowpaw,he roll her everything. She died for him. She loved him and he loved her.

    CrowxLeaf: Rip. I don't like this ship at all. This ship is like a one minute long love story. They ran away came back,Leafpool got pregnant and had kits. Everything was going so fast,they meet a few times before deciding to run away just to Come back next day and break up? Whyyyyy. They didn't even know eachother and they got allot of problems because of it. I have a million more respons to why I HATE this ship. Byee👋 Merry christmas too!💝

  • I’m sorry that a lot of you feel upset that I don’t like Alder or Spark, but I just feel like Alder was a replacement character that was exactly a mix between Leaf and Jay and I think Spark was a copy of her mother. I’m not saying that the books are running out of character ideas, but I think that Vision of Shadows was just a fill in series that needed to be their for certain events to happen (like the addition of Skyclan, the death of Sandstorm, the new leadership of Bramble and Tiger2, ect.) Also, I don’t like Spotfur because of personal opinions. I also never said I did not like Fersong, I just think that we should have gotten to know more of him because he is a good cat.
    This was my second article and I posted it on here to not get views and opinions from others but for the “good article”s or “great writing”s. I’m sad to see how much bickering is going on around here and I wish it could be better in the way we treat others and their opinions. A nice “Good article, but I like Alderheart” would work much better than a whole debate about why and how my opinion is wrong.
    Thank you to those that wrote kind things about my article!
