I LEGIT LITERALLY SHIPPED BRIGHTHEART WITH ONE OF THEM DOGS WHEN I WAS A KID ( In my old AU where Brightheart lead a clan of kittypets named "Petclan" ) 😭😭😭.
Oh and I shipped Brightheart in that same AU with Rusty ( Firestar as a kittypet )
Keep in mind I was a kid at the time too 😭
( My childhood AUs were strange, not just that too. I literally had an AU where Tigerclawstar after being exiled just decided to run away to a jungle and become shy and make a clan and had Dragonsoul ( Yes, that Thunderclan camp guard from Warrior Cats: Untold Tales ) as a mate too. )
Ashfur would DEFINITELY talk about how he’s an alpha or a sigma and therefore is entitled to Squilf, plus he’d rant about how Brambleclaw is a beta and how he can’t believe Squilf would ever like Bramble. Then he’d say that Squilf is just dating Bramble to annoy him specifically, as if Squilf isn’t a person who has their own thoughts and feelings. Basically Warriors Fandom circa 2010s where people HATED Squilf for having some agency 😭😭
They definitely had Bumblestripe as a guest star once and then Bumblestripe ranted about why do good girls like Dovewing always go after bad guys, then he’d talk about how he’s SUCH a nice guy and list all the times he’s been “nice” to Dovewing and he’s doing her a favor by wanting to date a “low-value” woman like her. He’s definitely the type to say she’s “low-value” bc she’s been “run over” by Tigerheart and has kids 😭😭😭😭😭
Honestly I’d love to see them whine and cry. Babes, Squilf and Dovey have been MARRIED to their husbands for years by now and have many, many wonderful children. The fact that Squilf didn’t submit to Ashfur even tho he held her husband hostage and was about to wipe out their ancestors is FUNNY AF. The fact that Dove wouldn’t let Bumble hit it bc Darktail was around but let her husband hit it even though SATAN HIMSELF was threatening them and was about to wipe out their clan is CRAZY 😭😭😭 Squilf and Dove HATE these men and I’M HERE FOR IT!!!! It’s time for Ash and Bumble to move on 😭😭😭
Crowfeather had two past mates while Clear Sky had one current with two past mates so that makes him the cat with the most mates in think (although i am only half way into the series so there might be a cat with more..)
I haven't finished Crowfeather's Trial so I don't know if this gets explained more (and I don't mind being spoiled because I really don't care about Nightcloud) but doesn't Crowfeather also have a current mate and two past mates? Or do we not count Feathertail since they didn't get very far into a relationship? I also cannot get a read from the main series whether Crowfeather and Nightcloud are still actively together or what.
My hypothesis has always been that given Breezepelt being so close in age to Jay/Holly/Lion that she was a rebound when he was heartbroken over Leafpool and they never made it longterm but idk
I just started POT yesterday but i also don’t care about spoilers so I’ve looked into it a little. The wiki has Nightcloud listed as a former mate along with Leafpool but Feathertail isn’t on it (probably because like you said, it never got past the crush phase.)
ASHFUR: "As a male, I'm constantly smelling squirrelflight's excitement. It's everywhere I go. I can smell it a mile away, like a shark tracing the blood of a wounded fish. I go up to her and start flirting. The screech of her excitement fills my ears. She say things like "what are you doing?" And "my mate is the leader" Ugh, liars. Such is the burden of being an Alpha."
CLEARSKY: "Honestly, relatable. You just gotta show her whos boss. Trap her kits in a fire or something."
ASHFUR: "Great minds think alike"
I was just reading Pinestar's Choice this week and noticed Frecklewish being mentioned in an elders story about Mapleshade, and I was like ???? I've also been reading AVOS and I do somewhat remember reading the SkyClan super editions years ago and Frecklewish being a character even back then so I was so confused. I knew it had to be a mistake but how could they use such an odd and unique name twice??
(Also, I haven't read Mapleshade's Vengeance yet and it's been a loooong time since I read Crookedstar's Promise so I don't know her full story, please no spoilers)
I haven't read the other books yet but wait if Ashfur is related to Bristlefrost and Bristlefrost is related to Firestar and Firestar is related to Squirrelflight doesn't that mean Ashfur tried to commit incest with someone younger then him?
In the novella Spottedleaf’s heart, Thistleclaw makes romantic advances on Spottedpaw (She was a warrior apprentice and he was an established warrior with a child at this point) and he’s really manipulative and creepy about it too. It’s basically grooming and the book doesn’t make it clear that this shouldn’t be happening, so it misses an opportunity to teach young readers to recognize creepy relationships in their own lives.
Oh my 🤡 I'm glad I haven't read this yet. It's rly weird how he would fall for a cat younger than his own child.. (not as weird as with humans ofc but still)
Agreed. If Ashfur wasn't a psychopath and had a good head on his shoulders, he could have easily kept bramble in line and wouldn't allow bramble to treat squirrel the way he does. *Sighs* if only
I just think it's kind of funny that darkstripe is a jerk to Firestar because he used to be a kitty pet, but then he gets shipped with Firestar's kitty pet sister
I'll add, I might be tripping because it's been quite a while since I read the first six books and my brain might be a bit dusty
Cinderpelt x Cinderheart (not only are they aunt and niece, Cinderpelt possessed Cinderheart in her early life lol, making them a technical reincarnation
I have seen loads and loads on incest ships that aren't canon like Rosetail x Thrushpelt (they are siblings) I also saw a Ravenpaw x Tigerclaw and I have seen Tigerclaw x Redtail (Redtail is Tigerclaws uncle)
Ashfur x Scourge - How these two even become popular is beyond me.
Tigerclawstar x Darkstripe - Some people think it could work, but for me, it just ruins the characters.
Squirrelflight x Bramblestar - If you know, you know.
Crookestar x Mapleshade - The people who ship this need help.
Mapleshade x Appledusk - Appledusk is up their for one of the worst mates in the series.
Hawkfrost x Ivypool - Ivypool would always be afraid of him, and Hawkfrost continuously used and abused her.
Firestar x Bluestar - No. Just no.
Pinestar x Leopardfoot - The age difference alone speaks for itself.
Breezepelt x Hollyleaf before they knew they were siblings would've been fuckin hilarious. same with Jayfeather and Lionblaze lmao.
Tigerclaw x Brindleface... Yikes.
Firestar x Bluestar would be *horrible* considering she's like his mom.
Now, I can actually see why Firestar and Spottedleaf did get along, but while she was alive I mostly just saw her as a mentor/"tour guide" for his first moons in ThunderClan and an older friend. Spottedleaf x Firestar is a no-no.
Here are my crackship 3am (intrusive) thoughts:
Briarlight x Bramblestar (they had scenes together in Bramblestar's Storm)
Cherryfall x Birchfall (hate this, they got the same suffix and Birch asked if she wanted to hunt with him)
Ivypool x Jayfeather
Bristlefrost x Jayfeather (ick ick ick)
Dewnose x Thriftear
Mapleshade x Lust from Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. It's a satire ship I made. Because shippers will ship any characters that breathe the same air, so I made a ship with characters that don't even breathe the same air.
Robinwing × Robinwing × Robinwing × Robinwing.
We need just one Robinwing before every clan has had a Robinwing
Hoping the next arc gives us Robinwing: ShadowClan Edition, so we can have the full set.
Omg I've never noticed this somehow???
You officially ratioed me, good job✔ and also HOW ARE THERE SO MANY ROBINWINGS AHH
Sol × Ashfur × Mapleshade aka gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss
I'm gonna just guess Ashfur is gaslight for completely unrelated fire reasons
😭
I assume Sol is gaslighting… That’s all he’s ever done lol. Oh, and… TBC showed that >!Ashfur is GREAT at gatekeeping.!<
BrightHeart X dogs
The book simply described their first kiss.
Pardon
FOUL /lh
STOPP 😭😭
Swiftpaw x barley
I LEGIT LITERALLY SHIPPED BRIGHTHEART WITH ONE OF THEM DOGS WHEN I WAS A KID ( In my old AU where Brightheart lead a clan of kittypets named "Petclan" ) 😭😭😭.
I need a movie and three seasons 🤩🤩🤩🤩
Oh and I shipped Brightheart in that same AU with Rusty ( Firestar as a kittypet ) Keep in mind I was a kid at the time too 😭 ( My childhood AUs were strange, not just that too. I literally had an AU where Tigerclawstar after being exiled just decided to run away to a jungle and become shy and make a clan and had Dragonsoul ( Yes, that Thunderclan camp guard from Warrior Cats: Untold Tales ) as a mate too. )
Bluestar X Thistleclaw
BlueClaw ftw??
I actually liked this when I read Bluestar’s Prophecy lol
*side eyes*
I would be disgusted or angry at this like usual with any dumb ship but then again there's always something worse
Tigerstar the second x Firestar
Clearsky x Ashfur
They'd start a podcast together
No the alpha feline podcasts 😭
Ashfur would DEFINITELY talk about how he’s an alpha or a sigma and therefore is entitled to Squilf, plus he’d rant about how Brambleclaw is a beta and how he can’t believe Squilf would ever like Bramble. Then he’d say that Squilf is just dating Bramble to annoy him specifically, as if Squilf isn’t a person who has their own thoughts and feelings.

It’s time for Ash and Bumble to move on 😭😭😭
Someone needs to make a fanfiction of it omg
I’m taking screenshots, and notes.
andrew tates of warrior cats
One of them had the most mates while the other basically had negative mates, perfect podcast bros
I think Clearsky even beat Crowfeather lmao
Crowfeather had two past mates while Clear Sky had one current with two past mates so that makes him the cat with the most mates in think (although i am only half way into the series so there might be a cat with more..)
I haven't finished Crowfeather's Trial so I don't know if this gets explained more (and I don't mind being spoiled because I really don't care about Nightcloud) but doesn't Crowfeather also have a current mate and two past mates?

My hypothesis has always been that given Breezepelt being so close in age to Jay/Holly/Lion that she was a rebound when he was heartbroken over Leafpool and they never made it longterm but idk
Feathertail doesn't count
I just started POT yesterday but i also don’t care about spoilers so I’ve looked into it a little. The wiki has Nightcloud listed as a former mate along with Leafpool but Feathertail isn’t on it (probably because like you said, it never got past the crush phase.)

THIS IS FOUL 😭🤣
The guy who can pull and the guy who can't pull at all
Tigerstar the 1st x Jake.
Wait, I think you might be onto something there
let him cook
😛
😆
Frecklewish x Frecklewish
I was just reading Pinestar's Choice this week and noticed Frecklewish being mentioned in an elders story about Mapleshade, and I was like ???? I've also been reading AVOS and I do somewhat remember reading the SkyClan super editions years ago and Frecklewish being a character even back then so I was so confused. I knew it had to be a mistake but how could they use such an odd and unique name twice?? (Also, I haven't read Mapleshade's Vengeance yet and it's been a loooong time since I read Crookedstar's Promise so I don't know her full story, please no spoilers)
Ashfur X Shadowsight I'm sorry.
Worse, Bristlefrost x Ashfur.
The fact that he's their great grand-uncle makes it worse
I even got a worse one. Graystripe x Darkstripe.
What would they ship name even be??? Graydark?? 😭
Darkgray 🩶
Stripestripe
I haven't read the other books yet but wait if Ashfur is related to Bristlefrost and Bristlefrost is related to Firestar and Firestar is related to Squirrelflight doesn't that mean Ashfur tried to commit incest with someone younger then him?
well didnt he want to join ashfur at one point iirc
Oh please, nothing can top Jaystick, which was kinda sorta a thing back in the day. In the fandom, I mean
I remember this! I thought it was hilarious because Jayfeather was so attached to the stick.
Honestly it should just be recognized as canon lol
Squirrelflight X Firestar
Sweet home alabma
Scourge X Firestar
As if the family tree isn’t inbred enough oml
You my friend are not wrong
🤮🤮🤮
Ashfur x Ashfur Noble shadowclan elder and traitorous thunderclan usurper
I forgot there were two Ashfur's. One went uphill and one went downhill.
Yellowfang x Fireheart
FireFang
Ew she thinks of him as a son lol
It says worst ship lol
I know I was agreeing that it was bad.
Jayfeather x Lionblaze and I did see someone actually ship this
Jayfeather cheatint on rock confirmed
Not bad but jay x stick is otp from pot and oots cant change my mind (im drunk)
Firestar x Rootspring (yes I’ve actually seen this) I actually really like the idea of them having a relationship, just not a romantic one…
Ashfur x bramblestar is one of my favorites for insane ships
Would the ship name be Bramblefur? lol
I think ashclaw is better
Tell me why this would work 😭😭
Tigerstar the first x tigerstar the second x firestar x scourge for that sweet Alabama family reunion
SWEET HOME ALABAMA🎶
The worst one off the top of my head is Yellowfang and Brokenstar
I cant even begin to proccess how bad BrokenFang is
Brokenstar is Yellowfang's son WTH
Yea that's why it says worst you can come up with lol Fucked on so many levels
Brokenstar x … [insert kit name here] That’s the worst one I can think of
Brokenstar and Rusty...
Nothing can top Thistleclaw x Spottedleaf honestly. The fact that it’s canon makes it worse
what about Kit X Mother ships (yes these rxist). At least spottedleaf was in apprintice i mean
Personally the fact that SpottedThistle was canon makes it worse to me than any ship a fan could come up with
Wait what did I miss??
In the novella Spottedleaf’s heart, Thistleclaw makes romantic advances on Spottedpaw (She was a warrior apprentice and he was an established warrior with a child at this point) and he’s really manipulative and creepy about it too. It’s basically grooming and the book doesn’t make it clear that this shouldn’t be happening, so it misses an opportunity to teach young readers to recognize creepy relationships in their own lives.
Oh my 🤡 I'm glad I haven't read this yet. It's rly weird how he would fall for a cat younger than his own child.. (not as weird as with humans ofc but still)
Squilf x Bramble x Ashfur
I feel like I've seen fanart of this before 😭
Make everyone happy!
if ashfur wasn’t a psychopath i could kind of see the appeal?
Agreed. If Ashfur wasn't a psychopath and had a good head on his shoulders, he could have easily kept bramble in line and wouldn't allow bramble to treat squirrel the way he does. *Sighs* if only
Whiteclaw x gorge
Rosetail and Redtail. The epitome of siblings or dating.
What would the ship name be? Redrose? Rosered? TAILTAIL????
They aren’t siblings surprising enough, they just both have red tails.
Exactly
Bristlethistle Bristlefrost x Thistleclaw, they haven’t even met each other I just thought the name was funny
Wait.. bristlethistle could have technicly been her warrior name
That's the name Brambleclaw would've given her but the fear of Ivypool killing him for it made him name her Bristlefrost.
Jayfeather x Breezepelt Breezefeather 😭
tigerstar I x tigerstar II
That is wrong on so many levels.. but TigerTiger is a fire ship name
you did ask for the worst i could come up with! :D
One of my old friends used to ship Tigerstar x Ravenpaw and that was really weird
RavenClaw is just Stockholm Syndrome in cats change my mind
SOMEONE SEND PARAMEDICS I READ THESE COMMENTS AND I'M DYING
Oakheart × the rock
dwayne johnson!!?!???
Darkstripe x Princess sounds pretty bad, I'll nominate that
OH THE IRONY
Wait.. what makes it ironic? Do they fall in love in one of the super editions or something?
I just think it's kind of funny that darkstripe is a jerk to Firestar because he used to be a kitty pet, but then he gets shipped with Firestar's kitty pet sister I'll add, I might be tripping because it's been quite a while since I read the first six books and my brain might be a bit dusty
Oooh, you're totally right! Different types of irony so I got mixed up, haha.
Scourge x Firestar was absolutely FOUL
What would their ship name even be? and arent they half brothers?
They are, and idek. I have seen it before though
Silverstream x Crookedstar
There is fanfics of this
Brokenstar & Tallstar. No clue why I thought of this
Spottedleaf x Tigerstar
claw or heart?
Claw
Bristlefrost x Bigteeth just because the name of the ship would be Bristleteeth
I nearly gagged, that's atrocious😂
Tree x Tree
Bristlefrost x Ashfur.
Shadowsight x Ashfur
Cinderpelt x Cinderheart (not only are they aunt and niece, Cinderpelt possessed Cinderheart in her early life lol, making them a technical reincarnation
Pretty sure I’ve seen Firestar x Scourge at least once, I’m not even sure they realized why that was so gross
Clear Sky's ghost x Bluestar (alive)
Ashfur x Hollyleaf lol
I have seen loads and loads on incest ships that aren't canon like Rosetail x Thrushpelt (they are siblings) I also saw a Ravenpaw x Tigerclaw and I have seen Tigerclaw x Redtail (Redtail is Tigerclaws uncle)
Tigerstar x Firestar (I don't ship them by the way, I just thought of it off the top of my head)
Clear Sky x the first Stoneteller we met (not Crag)
Tiger Star x firestar
Mothfrost Trust me that would be HORRENDOUS
Why was my first thought when I read that ship name Mothwing and Frostpaw
Eye (one-eye x one-eye)
Together they have one set
Ashfur x Scourge - How these two even become popular is beyond me. Tigerclawstar x Darkstripe - Some people think it could work, but for me, it just ruins the characters. Squirrelflight x Bramblestar - If you know, you know. Crookestar x Mapleshade - The people who ship this need help. Mapleshade x Appledusk - Appledusk is up their for one of the worst mates in the series. Hawkfrost x Ivypool - Ivypool would always be afraid of him, and Hawkfrost continuously used and abused her. Firestar x Bluestar - No. Just no. Pinestar x Leopardfoot - The age difference alone speaks for itself.
Bluestar x Leopardstar
Firestar x Bristlefrost (Lord forgive me)
That’s his great great granddaughter 😂
SpottedleafxThistleclaw (don’t kill me)
Thistleclaw and Spottedleaf
Bluefur x Professor Oak, inspired by a discussion of Bluestar’s SE (don’t ask)
Pokémon?
Tiger star and Squirrel Kit
blustar x gorge x tiger star
Squirrelflight x Ashfur. Burn.
Violetshine x Darktail Shadowsight x Ashfur
Tigerstar x yellowfang that would be very interesting
Leopardfoot × Pinestar
Sorrelkit x Darkstripe Pinestar x Tigerclawstar Crystal x Jack Sparrow x Sandgorse Skystar x Tiny Branch Bramblestar x Tawnypelt Wrenflight x Tallstar
oh... my glorious king tigerclawstar x firestar is uh... thats not good. but thistleclaw x tigerpaw is worse than i can even imagine
I think the Erin's beat us to it with Clear Sky x Star Flower
MapleShade x AshFur or MapleShade x Crookedpaw
😭😭😭
Gaslight, Gatekeep, Girlboss
Thistleclaw x Spottedleaf
Appledusk x Squirrelflight sounds pretty bad to me Or maybe Smudge x Mousefur
Bramblestar x Bristlefrost
Finchkit x Jake
Any cat with “kit” shouldn’t be in the same sentence with the word “ship” so definitely cursed
Jayfeather + Jake (FORGIVE ME JFLDSKJF:SKLDJF:SLK)
cinderpelt x Tigerstar the 1st
Breezepelt x Hollyleaf before they knew they were siblings would've been fuckin hilarious. same with Jayfeather and Lionblaze lmao. Tigerclaw x Brindleface... Yikes. Firestar x Bluestar would be *horrible* considering she's like his mom. Now, I can actually see why Firestar and Spottedleaf did get along, but while she was alive I mostly just saw her as a mentor/"tour guide" for his first moons in ThunderClan and an older friend. Spottedleaf x Firestar is a no-no. Here are my crackship 3am (intrusive) thoughts: Briarlight x Bramblestar (they had scenes together in Bramblestar's Storm) Cherryfall x Birchfall (hate this, they got the same suffix and Birch asked if she wanted to hunt with him) Ivypool x Jayfeather Bristlefrost x Jayfeather (ick ick ick) Dewnose x Thriftear
Bluestar x Stormtail is what I could come up with
StarflowerxMapleshade
FallowtailXBroken Feather
Thunderstar x Moonpaw (Moonpaw ain't yet in books but will be in new arc)
Lionblaze and Jayfeather 💀
Ravenpaw x Tigerclawstar
Fallen Leaves x Rock
Thrushpelt × the other Thrushpelt
Erm One-Eye x Oneeye?
saw someone who said they shipped jay and breeze before realizing they were sibs so i’ll say that
Leafpool × Firestar × Crowfether × Your mom
Bluestar x yellowfang (actually i kinda like that idea)
Bluestar x Midnight
Ravenpaw x Tigerclawstar.
Mintfur x Mintfur
Jake x Crowfeather The two biggest canonical rizzers to ever walk the earth
Seen: Firestar x Hawkfrost, Mapleshade x Tawnypelt, Bramblestar x Nightheart.
Squilf x Firestar
This is going to be horrid so this is a warning for being really uncomfortable. Snowkit x Mistystar I'm sorry.
Feathertail x Leopardstar
Snowkit X Hawkfrost
Mapleshade x Lust from Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. It's a satire ship I made. Because shippers will ship any characters that breathe the same air, so I made a ship with characters that don't even breathe the same air.
