Congrats on Firestar for being the most shippeable boy i know

Bramble was 21 moons old when Squilf was born.

He was interested in her when she was around 9/11 moons old, they traveled a long time. He was 30/32 moons old

That's... yeah..

Yep…

That to me is one of the biggest turn offs I have with those two, even putting aside Bramble’s character decline through the series. I know some people think the concept of age difference shouldn’t really be a big issue as it’s RAMPANT in the series. But that doesn’t make it okay. And this goes for ships like FeatherCrow and SpottedFire as well, I’m not picking and choosing. All shouldn’t be a thing imo. It’s not healthy to me if warriors were grown adults by the time their partners were born.

I also don’t like how the fandom gets hypocritical over all of this. I remember when an artist, won’t say their name as they’ve since distanced themselves from the ship, produced an admittedly really good artwork for a Stormfur X Squirrelflight AU and ultimately took it down after there was a backlash towards the age difference in the ship. Now I’m not saying people were wrong for criticising the ship, it does have the issues that I too have a problem with, however how come I don’t see this same type of backlash for ships like BrambleSquirrel or FeatherCrow, or do we just ignore them since they’re canon? 😠
