I've been thinking about drawing and explaining my own headcanons for many things, that's why my fan fiction titled THE GUARDIAN HERD: WESTWIND exist, to put my headcanons into being but, I am kinda unsure about something... What shippings should I go for? Should I change the ones that I am currently thinking about, or do I just... Do whatever? Also, what character pairings that I haven't mentioned down below that I should consider?
Here is the list of unofficial character pairings that I currently feel interested in treating as official, logical, or semi-official and their reasonings:
Starlight x Morningleaf (I personally have little to no care over the fact that Star was the adopted sibling to Morningleaf. It was their personality dynamic that make me enjoy this shipping, mainly due to the fact that I have a soft spot for Star being so protective over the individual he cares about the most in his life. He reminds me of well... Me and my longing to drown a special someone in all my love and affection.)
Brackentail x Flamesky (While I've only remember reading Brackentail and Flamesky being together along with Stripestorm as Star's bullies, I feel like Flamesky only did it because she either liked Stripestorm or she liked Brackentail. This feels more true when she immediately felt reluctant to continue bullying Star when Brackentail challenged him to the race to Mountain Herd's section of the Vein's cliff. And Brackentail has already been through a lot in terms of his obsession with Morningleaf.)
Stripestorm x Original Character (Every steed deserves a mate but, Flamesky is already taken.)
Shadepebble x Clawfire (I will admit that I don't care about age gaps, especially with animals. All forms of wild/untamed equines, to my knowledge, do not care about biological relations nor the differences between ages, all they care about is carrying on their own legacy and genetics to keep the species as a whole present and existing. I personally believe that The Guardian Herd characters act a similar way, especially if Star has a strong obsession for his milk sister/adopted sibling.)
Also, LeadMare, you should totally read ROTR! Trust me, just because there are humans doesn't mean it's bad, and it's really good. I think there's lots of character development everywhere in there.
I am SO in favor of all of these ships! Starleaf well, because STARLEAF (though I never hated Brackenleaf), Brackensky: always shipped it, and Clawpebble :) :) :). One of my faves. You are a girl after my own heart.
Sorry, Brackenleaf. I probably just ruined the party here, lol.
Also, does Hazelfrost count? if so, that's a maybe. This is from ROTR, Kol and Rizah. lol
I do like most, if not all of those ships!
My opinions are a little bit different in some areas...
1, I totally agree with Star and Morningleaf being together. I mean it doesn't make sense for them NOT to be together after all they've been through with each other and to save the other.
2, I kind of like Brackentail and Flamesky, but I also like the idea of Brackentail and Shadepebble more. But either of these I am fine with. I also kind of like Flamesky and Stripestorm, but will willingly let both of them go with a completely different characters that we probably haven't seen before.
3, Me personally don't agree with the Shadepebble and Clawfire ship, because of the age gap, but mostly because I like the idea of Clawfire being another sire for Shadepebble. (That way she is able to have a better sire than Rockwing) Though I did enjoy reading the "Shadepebble's Capture" and all those cute, fun times they had together. (I still see that more of a sire, filly kinda thing.)
I don't know how popular my opinions are, and feel free not to listen, but... I hope this helped!
I AGREE WITH ALL OF THOSE!
