My hot take is they should have had Zuko mention Mai just once or twice more if they wanted their relationship to feel more solid. I get why they didn't, but imagine: Zuko is staring longingly at a set of knives on the wall. He's just like "They remind me of my, not girlfriend, but she kind of- I mean. A girl. Who is my friend." and the shopkeeper is like "Those... are assassin's knives." And Zuko is like "Oh, I know. She'd love them 🥺" Zuko thinking about getting her a gift of some kind even in a friend way. I'm now thinking about post boiling rock Sokka like. Trying to cheer Zuko up about this pseudo-relationship where she confessed Some kind of love right before they were seperated. Sokka turning on a suave "I know what I'm talking about" persona. Something about violent, scary girlfriends. "Trust me, women warriors *looove* getting weapons." Maybe the cheering up doesn't work, esp since. Yk. Zuko doesn't even know if Mai is okay. The rest of the gaang could chime in to varying effect.

Maiko doesn't rly compel me(esp in the long run) but if they wanted them to end up being together I wish they'd shown interest and care from Zuko between boiling rock and her release from prison. Even if he's mostly trying not to think about it, and mostly obsessively focused, just a little slip-up in his Not Thinking About It could have made their relationship a lot more compelling to me. Maybe they did show smth and I'm forgetting, but... I feel like they could have done a *little* more to show that Zuko cared about her. Even in just a "She's important to me" way bcs knives are a Mai gift not a "I'm trying to perform my role as a Boyfriend" gift. Even showing a bit of development! I love how dysfunctional their relationship is when they're dating bcs it serves the characters and story well but when he's seperated from her I feel like he should have thought abt her a LITTLE bit. Since they kissed when she was released, right?? That's what the wiki says. He's supposed to Care about her even if he's bad at it. Idk.

lol so we both agree that their kiss at the end does not feel earned, but in your mind, the way to rectify that would be to add more scenes of zuko actively caring about her, instead of simply not having them kiss..? because i do think their relationship makes perfect sense as it is up until the point that i am expected to believe that they are together are by choice. he doesn't actually care about her. that's the point. (or at least, it should've been)

#they do not work together!!!!! she is out of his league and they r both gay!!!!!!#their relationship does make sense i just dont get why they would get back together 😭#also fwiw mai is not a warrior she is a bored rich kid who loves violence ( soooo affectionate)#and getting mai knives isnt even a good gift bc she can afford millions of knives #if zuko did that it would just further prove that he doesn't really know her . lol #whatever. mai and ty lee shouldve kissed wheres my mailee nation at #asks #starstrike #mai&zuko #their toxic lavender marriage slay

alright, crazy gay warrior cat romance let's go.

we've got two key players, Hopeflare(warrior) and Shadowspill(deputy) and this is gonna be a weird list of events in chronological because this is coming straight out of my memory.

the only thing I did to make this happen was I made them mates because their personalities meshed well and the clan was thinning out and I didn't want them to go extinct, everything else was all them.

I make them mates

Hopeflare gets pregnant

Shadowspill comes out as trans(good for her🥳)

Hopeflare gets insanely stressed at the prospect of becoming a parent and wants a small litter

two babies

Shadowspill and Hopeflare BREAK UP

they get BACK TOGETHER

Hopeflare gets pregnant AGAIN

and now she wants a big litter

but her body can't handle the load and she dies in childbirth

four babies

and then after Hopeflare dies the most unfortunate events happen to their kids

their son Whorlbeam got a life-threatening head injury from falling from a tree when he was an apprentice and their daughter Reddrift was straight-up murdered

just to name a few

OH MY GOD???

shadowspill being trans is actually iconic tho. plus shadowspill is a really fucking good warrior cats name. too bad her gay lover died tho… in childbirth nonetheless, classic warrior cats.

HONESTLY THIS JUST SOUNDS LIKE SHIT THAT WOULD HAPPEN IN THE REGULAR BOOKS shit gets wild in warrior cats. i’m actually gonna be rotating these events in my mind.

#do we know who murdered reddrift #actually heartbreaking poor shadowspill she deserves better #if she survives to become leader tho she’ll be the first trans leader good for her #if the authors of warriors weren’t cowards we could have real gay warriors romance #unless it’s gotten gay recently #i am not current with the books #the gayest things we got when i was reading the books was ravenpaw and barley #oh and jake and talltail/star #honorable mention to leafpool and mothwing bc they are gay to me as well #robin rants #ask robin???

so. i've had an idea for a warrior cats fanfiction story, and have spent the last few years hammering out characters, the clans, how they work, the story... a whole lot of stuff. i've tried writing it before, and right now i don't have a current draft of early chapters, but I did recently write out a scene from much later in the story, and i'm pretty happy with it, soooo... here! a warrior cats fic scene i wrote in like an hour a week ago

By the time she led ShadeClan to the Gathering site, Emberstar felt her anxieties lessen. Her foreleg ached from the effort of the journey, but she kept her head high. Beside her, Acornfall glanced back at their clan, then nodded over to Emberstar. He led the clan down into the Gathering hollow, and Emberstar padded over to the slope up to the leader’s perch. PineClan and CliffClan cats were already quietly milling about in the hollow, and up on the overhang she could see Lakestar and Wolfstar waiting. There was no MoorClan scent among the gathered cats.

Emberstar made her way up the slope she’d seen Gorsestar and Froststar before her traverse. It was a thin path, slowly becoming steeper and steeper as she slunk closer to the overhang, finally reaching the steep, gravelly slope that led up to the leaders’ perch. Down at the base of the cliff, she could see Acornfall joining the other deputies with a polite nod of his head, and Troutfoot was carefully weaving her way through the crowd to meet with the other healers. Emberstar twitched her whiskers when Lakestar and Wolfstar noticed her. She crouched and tensed her back legs and leapt up the slope.

It wasn’t enough to reach the top, but she reached out with her forepaw and sunk her claws into the loose gravel and dug her back paws into the ground to keep from slithering back down. She slowly inched forward, moving a kittenstep at a time, but she kept her eyes fixed on the other leaders, more determined than ashamed of herself. Emberstar forced herself up the slope, but her heart skipped a beat when the gravel under her paw proved too loose to get a good enough grip- so close to the top, too. What a shame she had no other forepaw to lash out and find a grip with.

Emberstar felt herself begin to slide back down the slope, but a pair of jaws grasped her by the scruff and hoisted her up onto the overhang. She clawed at the grass and stumbled a step when let go and turned to meet Wolfstar’s amused gaze. “Careful there, three-paw,” the CliffClan leader gruffly purred. “It’s bad luck to fall at your first Gathering as leader.” She brushed past Emberstar to sit back down next to Lakestar.

With a huff, Emberstar followed her with a shake of her pelt. “I appreciate your help, but I would have been fine on my own. I suppose I owe you now?”

Wolfstar’s whiskers twitched. “Are you saying ShadeClan is now in CliffClan’s debt?”

The young leaders stared at each other, then broke out into amused purrs. Lakestar rolled her eyes and wrapped her tail around her paws. “So, you are ShadeClan’s leader now, Emberstar? Or is it still Emberblaze?”

“It is Emberstar now. I visited the Moon Cavern for my lives only a few sunrises ago.”

“May StarClan light your path as leader, then.” Lakestar stiffly dipped her head. Despite the brusque words, there was genuine respect in her pale eyes.

Wolfstar’s own eyes were still bright with humor. “You’ll be great, I know it. What happened to Froststar, then?”

Emberstar narrowed her eyes and turned her gaze to the gathered cats. “I’ll explain that once the Gathering begins. MoorClan is late tonight.” She surveyed the crowd of cats, peering straight down at the huddled healers. Sitting with her back to her PineClan clanmates, Flarelight was sitting close to Troutfrost. After a moment, she gazed up at the overhang, and her eyes met Emberstar’s. Her eyes grew wide and she stared at her littermate for a long moment until another healer got her attention. Then, as if she’d seen nothing, Flarelight flicked her tail and joined the conversation. Her twitching tail-tip was the only hint that she was distracted. Emberstar blinked. She’d become leader so recently that not even the other healers knew, much less the other clans’ warriors. In the crowd of CliffClan cats, she spotted Sunscorch, sitting with his fur brushing Moonwhisper’s, his eyes wide and his body stiff while he stared at his sister up on the overhang.

Poor Sunscorch, so softhearted under those honed claws and strong limbs- he was likely to take the news of Froststar’s death the hardest. Emberstar held his gaze, blinked slowly, and turned her head to the sky. The moon was nearly overhead, and still MoorClan was absent.

“You ought to start the Gathering now,” Wolfstar growled to Lakestar. “It’s newleaf, after all, and if MoorClan’s late then they’re late.”

“We should wait,” Emberstar sharply mewed. “This is my first Gathering as leader, so it would be disrespectful to me as well as MoorClan if we begin without them. It may anger StarClan as well,” she finished in a murmur, flicking her tail-tip up at the sky. Wolfstar just bushed out her stormy gray fur and huffed.

Lakestar gazed up at the sky. Emberstar looked over at her. For so long, as an apprentice, as a warrior, as the deputy, she’d never dared to be so close to the cold PineClan leader. But now, she was barely a tail-length from the sleek silver tabby, and they sat as equals in standing. Lakestar was likely at less than nine lives and Emberstar was without a right foreleg, but they were equals nonetheless.

She was knocked from her thoughts by Wolfstar headbutting her. The larger cat nearly shoved her off-balance. “Glad to see that we’re both finally up here. I was waiting to see when you’d catch up, three-paw.”

Emberstar licked Wolfstar’s ear. “You know I must take things slower than you.”

“Who’d you pick as deputy?” Wolfstar leaned over the edge to inspect the group of deputies. “Hm- Acornfall?”

“He’s a good warrior. Older than me by four seasons, so I trust his advice and his skill.”

“I thought you would have picked Lavenderflash. Or maybe Darknose, you two always seemed close.”

Emberstar gazed down at Lavenderflash, spotting the pure-black molly quickly- she was almost certain there was obvious fondness in her eyes as she looked at her former apprentice. “Lavenderflash is… young and still training her first apprentice. She is a good, loyal warrior, but not fit to be deputy or eventual leader in my mind. And Darknose…” The tom was sitting at the edge of the crowd, alone. “He is a possibility, but he still mourns his brother even all these moons later, so I don’t know if he would be the best choice.”

Wolfstar made a sniff of approval, then her gaze snapped to the far hill. A yowl rang out, and the three leaders pricked their ears and the cats in the hollow turned to see MoorClan finally arrive, led by Applestar. Emberstar sat stiffly until she spotted Glowflame in the crowd, side-by-side with Orangeclaw. He joined the cats in the hollow with his clan while Applestar broke off to climb up to the overhang, and he seemed to murmur something to Orangeclaw before she angled her ears up at Emberstar. Glowflame looked up and spotted her, and his jaw dropped open. Emberstar couldn’t help but let out a purr of affection for her brother as he gaped in amazement at her.

Applestar greeted the other leaders when he finally joined them, nodding briefly at Emberstar, and hurriedly sat down next to Lakestar, his mottled fur standing up along his spine. The leaders gave the cats in the hollow a few moments to settle down. In that time, Emberstar saw her littermates make their ways through the crowd towards each other. By the time Lakestar threw back her head and yowled to signify the beginning of the Gathering, Flarelight, Sunscorch, and Glowflame sat huddled together with their eyes trained on their sister. Emberstar met their gazes for just a heartbeat and felt the final icicles of her anxiety melt away.

She then turned her head to watch Lakestar as she began to announce her clan’s news for the moon, and reminded herself of what she had to announce when it was her turn. She was ShadeClan’s leader, now. StarClan had approved of her. Emberstar lifted her chin and, with a deep breath, finally settled into her place at the head of her clan.

— SHIP SONGS

I was tagged by @marivenah and @chuckhansen to post 5-10 songs for a (actually two) ship! Thank you dearies!!! 💕💕💕

Tagging: @socially-awkward-skeleton @detectivelokis @sstewyhosseini @queennymeria @indorilnerevarine @jinfromyarikawa @roofgeese @corvosattano @rhetoricalrogue @nokstella @jackiesarch @shellibisshe @phillipsgraves @florbelles @unholymilf @jendoe @simonxriley @aceghosts + anyone else who wants to!

YOU SHOULD KNOW WHERE I’M COMING FROM - BANKS

What if I say I would break your heart? // What if I say I have problems that made me, me? // What if I knew I would just rip your mind apart // Would you let me out? // Maybe you can stop before the start // Maybe you can see that I just may be too crazy to love

BETTER LOVE - HOZIER

Staring in the blackness at some distant star // The thrill of knowing how alone we are, unknown we are // To the world and to the both of us // I confessed the longing I was dreaming of

CIGAR - TAMINO

Right then, she kisses my skin // I don't know what this is or where to begin // This fills me up with bliss // Don't tell me this was a dream // And she, shows me that life // Isn't all about explaining your time //No, it's the perfect time to lay all night

BE YOUR LOVE - BISHOP BRIGGS

Stone cold, out of sight // Too dark to trace the light // Don't leave me when I'm alone // Oh, and I'll be here when daylight's gone // I'mma be your love

STAY - RIHANNA FT. MIKKY EKKO

Not really sure how to feel about it // Something in the way you move // Makes me feel like I can't live without you // It takes me all the way // I want you to stay

WORK SONG - HOZIER

When my time comes around // Lay me gently in the cold dark earth // No grave can hold my body down // I'lI crawl home to her

BLOOD BANK - BON IVER

Then the snow started falling // We were stuck out in your car // You were rubbing both my hands // Chewing on a candy bar // You said, "Ain't this just like the present // To be showing up like this?" // As a moon waned to crescent // We started to kiss

HYMN FOR HER - AMES

She's the autumn air // She is everywhere //Oh, this is my hymn for her // My hymn for her // My soul has stirred // I'm speaking tongues // Am I worth of her love?

RIVER - LEON BRIDGES

Oh, I wanna come near and give уа // Every part of me // But there is blood on my hands // And my lips aren't clean // Take me to your river // I wanna go

DEVIL’S BACKBONE - THE CIVIL WARS

Oh Lord, oh Lord, what have I done? // I've fallen in love with a man on the run // Oh Lord, oh Lord, I'm begging you please // Don't take that sinner from me

#ship insp: if i had a heart #ship insp: woven and thatched #cigar is a little bit cheating cause that’s mostly and Imogen centric song for me #but man that verse makes me FERAL #also devils backbone but in a sapphic way of course #y’all know how hard it is to find good music that has language that can be applied to gay ships #I’d like to thank warrior nun for introducing me to hymn for her #I really did have to hold back from adding more Hozier too…
