Ok, so omg bounty quicker picker up (was watching add this is not sponsored). Ok what was I doing oh yeah.
Hello, Splashpaw here before you read this. These are ships I like and ships I dislike. Let’s start.
First Ships I like
Squirrelflight x Ashfur- Ok I can explain Brambleclaw/Star was kinda toxic to Squirrelflight, like their whole relationship was super toxic it got worse after Brambleclaw became leader. Ashfur actually was not toxic at first he just loved Squirrelflight I think Brambleclaw just pretended to love Squirrelflight so he could become leader (THIS IS MY OPINION I AM NOT LOOKING FOR A FIGHT)
Dovewing x Tigerheart- Dovewing was from another clan she seriously left her sister to go be with a bad leader like what, she did not even wait for Tigerheart she just left like huh you said you would wait are you not patient. (Don’t attck me Dovewing lovers please)
Leafpool x Crowfeather- They are a great couple like um yeah they are so cute together
Breezepelt x Heathertail- Breezepelt loved Heathertail since he was like a apprentice
Alderheart x Neetletail- They look so freaking cute together and they should be together
Jayfeather x Half Moon- they are sweet together Half Moon promised to wait for him in Starclan how sweet
Bluestar x Oakfur- They loved each other so much it was so sad when Bluestar left Oakfur but they are now together in Starclan forever
Tallstar x Jake- I swear they really loved each other Jake would meet up with Tallstar like every day
Clear Sky x Bright Stream- They were so much in love like I think Clear Sky kinda turned evil from Bright Streams death and the pain he went through
Barley x Ravenpaw- Omg they areeeeeeee so so so so so so so cute together i can tell they love each other a lot
Now time for ships I dislike
Leafpool x Mothflight- They are meds and best friends and Leafpool loves Crowfeather
Bramblestar x Squirrelflight- These ship is so toxic and bad like why would Squirrelflight want to be in a toxic relationship
Firestar x Cinderpelt- Cinderpelt is a med and Firestar was her former mentor and Firestar is way older than Cinderpelt
Dustpelt x Ferncloud- Dustpelt is Fernclouds uncle that is kinda messed up if you think about that
Thistleclaw x Snowfur- Thistleclaw was very very very evil like if he became leader Thunderclan would be gone for good and after Snowfur died Thistleclaw ignored Whitekit but got mad a Bluestar for taking care of him
Squirrelflight x Crowfeather- um I don’t think Squirrelflight would do her sister dirty like that
Ashfur x Scourge- I hate this ship. I hate it so much. Scourge was a legal adult when Ashfur was a paw. Scourge died at 76 MOONS OLD. Ashfur was literally not even halfway through his apprenticeship.
Ivypool x Twigbranch- I’m not sure how to feel about this one…
Shadowsight x Rootspring- They were “really close friends” isn’t a good basis for the ship. That’s like saying me and my best friend should date just because we’re close
Mapleshade x Tigerstar 1- If they weren’t generations apart then maybe
Jayfeather x Flametail- I’m not sure about this one
Brokenstar x Tigerstar 1- I don’t like because it feels so weird. Tigerstar helped ShadowClan to deal with Brokenstar to get leadership. How could they even be friends. No. Stop. Go get some help.
Fallen Leaves x Hollyleaf- I…don’t like this one, sorry. I like them as friends, but the whole age-old ghost thing is really strange to me. I don’t like how he always yells at her and gets angry when she tries to leave. I like it, but they would never work well together. Hollyleaf devoted her whole life to ThunderClan and StarClan (at least tried to), but Fallen Leaves will never be there to help her as mates. Fallen Leaves was like- the earliest death. Even pre-books. No dont ship them please.
Well I have reached almost 700 words nice. Thats all I will do another one bye bye.- Splash left the chat
Great article, I respectfully disagree about TigerstarxDovewing though.
Agree with a lot, but i disagree with a lot. Great article, though! And yes, Ashfur was much less toxic than Brambleclaw…at least before the Power Of Three
Great article! Agreed with most things and I ship LeafxCrow and AlderxNeedle! It would be hard to imagine Squirrelflight with Crowfeather though …
Great article!!! I totally agree with you on Hollyfallen and it’s very refreshing to see someone with that opinion. Though, I do think that it’s very fun to ship cats with their friends. I mean, they’ll never get together but we can imagine it in fanon. (I love Shadowroot)
Also I’m pretty sure Scourgeash has always just been a joke but then people started taking it serious I don’t think people actually shipped them TwT
Honestly, Bramble using Squilf to get leadership could be completely valid. I might write an article about that
Great article! I agree with most of your opinions but not all of them
Great article but…. you say you don’t like Dustpelt x Ferncloud because DustPelt is FernCloud’s uncle…Welllll, technically AshFur is SquirrelFlight’s uncle and was basically an warrior by the time Squilf was born and Bramble was a paw…
Also SquilfXBramble is actually healthier than you think!
Lastly, I disagree with you on DoveWing. SunBeam loved NightHeart and left ShadowClan for him. That doesn’t make her selfish for leaving BerryHeart and her siblings, does it? (SunBeam didn’t ask for NightHeart’s thought on it either, but I suppose NightHeart wasn’t quite bothered.)

Amazing article!
I love Jayhalf too!
Great article, I agree with the AlderxNeedle and FallenxHolly! And some more and some less but- Also y’all gotta stop with the age gap thing- Like their cats it really doesnt matter- There are some cute ships where a cat is much older than the other. Granted, there are some where the older one is a bit controlling, but look at Shimmerpelt x Piketooth, they’re so cute!!!! Also its Oakheart not Oakfur <3
“I think Brambleclaw just pretended to love Squirrelflight so he could become leader” Wait we never thought of that!! That makes actually so much sense!! Sorry, our headcanon now (if that ok with you).
However, we disagree with Ashfur only becoming toxic later. Clearly, he felt possessive over Squilf. He would have become more toxic and controlling over time. However, that could have been really interesting to read! If it started out wholesome and soft, then became more and more controlling, so slowly that Squilf doesn’t realize till it’s too late.
We also agree with Jayhalf. In our AU, Jayfeather has memories of the past and also spent centuries watching over the Clans as a ghost. Now both of them are waiting for a super long time to be with each other! Also, we’re (former) Hollyfallen shippers because of nostalgia (we have a comic about their kit, though it’s been changed so Fallen Leaves is more supportive and they only get together in StarClan, it’s from when we were kits), though we had an AU where she runs away, gets adopted by someone else, then Fallen Leaves gets with her adoptive dad.
Good job on your article! Also yeah, the age gaps are weird. We know they’re cats, but they act like humans and one of the Erins stated that they think of them as humans in cat bodies, so… It makes us uncomfy, to say the least. Plus, kid’s book! Normally we don’t have a problem with problematic fiction, but children reading this might get the idea that it’s normal and ok for adults to be into them, and that just not a good thing.
Sorry for the ramble, we originally intended to agree with you about Brambleclaw, then it just all went from there. Good job!

Good article future mento
Thank you cinder
Awesome article Splash!! :DD I disagree about Bramble x Squirrel, I don’t think just because they argue a lot makes it “toxic” (I’d honestly just call it realistic) but yeah I agree on most things :DD
Great article i disagree about Fallen Leaves and Hollyleaf though
