everyone was being quite silly on my lesbian collage post recently so id like to remind the masses that fictional characters are fictional and do not care what identity labels you think they possess. anyway i love casting lesbian spells on heterosexuals in my free time how about you guys

Top 5 ships and why?

That is a hard question, I have a lot of ships I love and narrowing it down to just 5 is very hard lol. I’ll give some honourable mentions right off the bat:

SpotStem

CrookedWillow

WhistleFrost

BristleRoot (the end got me, like everyone else)

LeafBilly

SquirrelDaisy

LarkSpark

Ok as for the actual list, I’ll try and rank them in order of preference, but for 5,4,3 they are very interchangeable in my mind so don’t take the order for them too seriously.

5. Mothpool

What isn’t there to say about Mothpool, everyone knows this ship and I like it for the reasons everyone else does. Mothwing and Leafpool were very close in TNP and seemed to still share closeness beyond, there’s a lot of potential with this ship.

4. TallJake

Oh to run away from home only to meet someone you know for only a matter of days yet they’re the closest bond you’ve ever forged and they come to ultimately collect you for the afterlife. It’s a fleeting but powerful relationship the two share.

3. GrayRiver

I liked Gray Wing x Riverstar fine before Riverstar’s home, but then Riverstar’s Home happened and now it’s one of my favourite ships. Riverstar can literally sense when Gray Wing has passed away before he’s told, he couldn’t do that for poor Flutter lol. Just Read Riverstar’s Home if you haven’t I personally love it and Riverstar has some of the least straight thoughts and feelings that warrior cats canon can allow about Gray Wing. Seriously just look at this example (which is one of many throughout the book):

2. RavenBarley

I’m not sure what I can really say about RavenBarley. It’s just such a healthy loving relationship, even when they fall out they resolve things in a healthy manner which is almost unheard of in warrior cats couples.

1. BrightCloud

Who else could it be at number one? BrightCloud have always meant a lot to me, I love both characters involved and it’s just such a good and supportive relationship they have. It’s the kind of relationship where I wonder what one will do without the other, they have grown old together. It will be both interesting and heartbreaking to see that be tackled in the books when one does eventually pass away.

irt billystorm its like, the way i interpret it from an actual narrative sense is him saying it the way a dad tells his kids that if theres a monster in their closet then he’ll beat it up. like the kids going “what if it floods again :(“ and hes like “well then you can come move in with me :)” as both like well this will make them feel safer but also if safety is a concern then we really can do that! after all, leafstar is fine with clan cats being kittypets too! and then leafstar made it weird by deciding to fully enter her permanent xenophobia arc and be a gigantic dick about it.

honestly my ideal version of that situation that would preserve drama without making leafstar out to be a complete asshole who is portrayed as in the right for being xenophobic (what the hell, erins) is billystorm staying the same as in canon, telling the kits that if safety is a concern they can just move in with him to reassure them. in the back of his mind hes like ‘if it does keep bothering me ill bring it up to leafstar to actually seriously discuss it’. the kids, being kids, mention it while playing, and leafstar flips out.

but. its because of her lingering issues with clan stability and her own security as leader. shes still very much in the wrong. billystorm is just being a dad, reassuring and looking out for his kids, and leafstar is taking out her insecurities about how much control she has over the current clan situation out on him. she still calls him by his clan name and doesnt snub him for being a kittypet though- instead she says hes undermining her and trying to make her look like she cant protect her kits in front of the clan.

for a resolution, she has to apologize to him. he didnt do anything, and she saw treachery where there was none. they end things as a couple, and she brings the kits to billystorms twolegs to take care of. she visits to see them, but she and billystorm keep conversations between them short and polite. billystorm needs to recover from the unjustified tongue lashing she gave him, and leafstar really needs to think about how she handled that and hurt him and jumped to wild conclusions. they dont become mates again, but after a second, more thought out and heartfelt apology from leafstar, they do at least become friends, and are able to get along and raise the kits as divorced but at least friendly cats.

as for the kits, one becomes a permanent clan cat (residing in camp), one becomes a daylight warrior, and one becomes a permanent kittypet (no clan association). they meet up at billystorms house to keep up.

thinking about this because of @blimbo-buddy divorce art. leafbilly divorce should be canon forever and always i dont find them very compatible even without leafstar making things gross.

[blimbo-buddy]

Are there any ships that you kiinda like, but only if they’re lgbtqia+, in theory? Here’s a few of mine:

shellfern, but fernstripe is a trans molly and shellfur a trans tom (t4t)

bristleroot, but rootspring is trixic and bristlefrost is sapphic-achillean, and both are ace + some type of enby!

leafbilly, but billystorm is enby pan and leafstar bi androgyne

windgorse, with wind runner being a trans bi molly and gorse fur a demisexual trans tom

violettree, with tree being agender aro and violetshine is enby polyro ace

crookedwillow, but crookedstar is an ace trans tom and willowbreeze is a trans molly (t4t)

(also jaybriar but briar is queerplatonic ace enby lesbian and jay is demiaroace agender he/him les!!)

Oh man, that's a tough one. I don't really think there's any that I particularly have that fit that mold or definition. Very neat headcanons though! I like the CrookedWillow one

[exocynraku]

🥀👶✅ for the warriors ask game :3

rose = brambleclaw lionblaze and what we have of nightheart…. all of them have so much potential and all of them SUCKED so bad. though nightheart does still have a chance to be better… i dont have much faith in him

baby = yellowfang yellowfang for SUREEE !! at least when she was alive. ghost yellowfang go to hell

checkmark = ermm i think shadowsight’s description is pretty awesome :3 and that one leafbilly kit whos grey and orange

[kore-cryptid]

updated with specific problem areas pointed out, 2 times full first cousins mate and have kits and once half cousins mate and have kits, the finleap twigbranch thing isnt As Bad cause theyre like, half second cousins but Still the fact that it, exists at all like you did Not need to have clovertail be sandynose's mom you couldve Not had that sandy and his siblings couldve appeared from thin air or Hell even be like Macgyver's kids or one of the dead leafbilly kids if you wanted them to be related to a skyclan cat the readers Knew

im at like a loss for words, it wouldve been So easy to like Not make them super inbred at the Very least

so, reading darkest night and violetpaw mentions that sparrowpelt was pebbleshines mom, After we find out that cherrytail is hawkwings mom, making hawkwing and pebbleshine, First Cousins

this set me down, a bit of a rabbit hole, and i know we all talk abt how inbred modern thunderclan is and the whitestorm problem and the firestar problem but id like to introduce you to the Skyclan Family Circle and the Clovertail Problem

featuring the unrelated blob in the top right, aside from about 8 cats Every Single Cat In Modern Skyclan LIVING OR DEAD is somehow Related to one another, im, how did this HAPPEN like i know theres So many cats to keep track of but, holy fucking Shit Erins do we need to have a Chat cause like??????

[need1etail]

Very inaccurate yet valid LeafBilly’s kits’ designs.

Firefern looks most like her dad, Solbrook takes after his mom a bit more, and Stormheart . . . well she’s there. I think I made Leafstar a fawn-cream tortie cause that’s just how I imagine her, so I tried my best to make Stormheart one as well, but I may have failed.

I adore Solbrook.

[confessionsofawarriorcat]

Hot take but there’s literally no ships in warriors worthwhile unless they’re RavenBarely or TallJake. No one else is worthier than gay old men

what about firesand, leafbilly, and dovetiger?

[warriors-but-cats-die]

Bro, are we literally stuck with Harrybrook (thank god he’s been renamed in this) as the only surviving LeafBilly kit again? What is the die’s obsession with him? What is the Erin’s obsession with him?

yes, you are. stormheart's my fav bc i like her name there's literally no other reason for that. so. i'm sad about it too.

frankly for the cats who don't have kits --- it's all very random who lives n who dies n i'm sad about it

<3

[blorboclaw]

actually I chose to give her LeafBilly's kits since Billystorm never joins the clan in my au. So Firefern, Stormheart, and Harrybrook, Harry's name being changed too because Sunflower is not going to name her kit after someone, even someone she likes, after what Tigerstar pulled on her.

Starting to put a few things up for Firefrost 3: Power of the Crackships and the problem is that if Sunflower goes with Sharpclaw she'll have a kit named Hawkkit which doesn't seem like something she'd do.

Hence the question:

[confessionsofawarriorcat]

Firesand and Leafbilly(?, idk, haven't read skyclan stuff in a while) show that we can have good straight ships, but like, their so outnumbered by bad ones,,, But oh no, the gays will scare the kids!!1! It's not like there was literal murder in the first book of the series!1! The real tea is that Harper Collins is homophobic

its not harper collins, it’s working partners
