Okay I already kind of mentioned this but!! I propose shipping Antpelt with Harespring/star. The only Antpelt ship I’ve ever seen circulate was Antpelt/Ivypool and that died really quickly and is also super weird. Harespring is just such a kind, gentle, understanding guy that I think he’d mesh really well with a troubled character like Antpelt. He’d nurse Antpelt’s Dark Forest wounds, he’d probably even eventually get Antpelt to tell him about the Dark Forest, and then he’d do everything he could to help Antpelt deal with his troubles IRL that were causing him to train there. Maybe all Antpelt needed was a supportive, loving mate like Harespring to keep him from dying in the Dark Forest.
Some songs I think fit this ship:
Til There Was You - The Music Man
On My Own - Ashes Remain
Help - The Beatles
