squrrielflight relationship thoughts
moonlight: squlif should have moved out with her buff girlfriend and left the clans before any of the bullshit she went through in TBC happened.
stormfur: i wish that weird romance plot wasn’t a thing, I remember being 12 and hating it even then. i think they could have a cute friend dynamic though. hoping the graphic novels fix it/retcon his romantic feelings entirely.
brambleclaw: he’s a jerk to her and their relationship sucks, and it doesn’t even suck in a way that’s interesting it just sucks because the authors are misogynists. i do reallly like fix it fics where their relationship is a lot better and the way it falls apart after hollyleaf spills the secret hits way harder. canon brambleclaw sucks tho.
ashfur: he’s a jerk to her but in a way that is actually narratively interesting because he’s allowed to be in the wrong (unlike brambleclaw whose terrible actions are often hand waved by the authors) like i don’t ship it, but their relationship has more depth and intrigue than most canon wc relationships are written. i like unhealthy relationship dynamics when they are actually written intentionally. TBC was flawed but i like ashfur as a villain a lot, excellent case of horrible person great character. there’s a good reason why there’s so much fan content around this dynamic it’s very interesting.
shrewpaw: eh? i didn’t think about him at all until the AU where he lives started gaining traction. potential because he’s a blank childhood friend slate for anyone to slot their ideas into but not something im very interested in.
daisy: i LOVE this ship. two divorced moms finding comfort in each other and supporting each other makes me smile.
crowfeather: not something i ship but the aus about it interest me in a narrative way. the less women exposed to canon crowfeather though the better, hes fumbled enough relationships.
leafstar: something ive been kicking around in my head since skyclan joined the lake territory. idk if there is anything here but i will never discount an opportunity for cat yuri. squlif joining skyclan to escape the oppressive judgment from thunderclan about her relationships/family might have some good bones to build off of, especially in an au where firestar brings skyclan back to the clans before AVoS.
aroace squrrielflight: personal favorite, works well with her narrative, makes me happy
send me more squlif ships and i’ll give my thoughts
