Art by Twistedclaws So apparently, this ship seems to be gaining some traction in parts of the fandom. Or at least, I've seen it get mentioned quite a bit on another website but only a handful of times on here which was in regards to LGBTQIA+ threads that featured them being shipped as t4t (trans loving trans). Although it remains to be seen if SolSquirrel will ever become somewhat popular (again with parts of the fandom) like MoonSquirrel (Moonlight x Squirrelflight, which I'm personally still not a fan of but oh well). I'll be honest and say that this ship is not for me either. Which has a lot to do with my lack of respect in regards to Sol as a character in canon due to him coming off rather pathetic in general and as an ultimately disappointing villain. Of course, people can ship what they want (as long as it's not inappropriate and so on for certain reasons not getting mentioned on this thread). Then again, there is not that much art of these two together as of yet and no Youtube content featuring them except for a non-ship AU MAP by Cheeteh Z called Serpent Sol. But who knows though, perhaps more content for this ship will get posted or talked about in the near future.

Not a fan tbh. Feels like a worse version of HawkSquirrel, with even less chemistry.
Personally, I've always seen Sol as gay-ace, and the only character I can even probably tolerate him being shipped with was Blackstar, but even that is thin ice.

this feels like a spite pairing (ships born out of fandom hatred for another character, like how frecklereed is wildly out of character for frecklewish but it was born out of spite for mapleshade). in this case, i assume its spiting bramblestar.
the only relationship i can imagine with sol is a toxic, manipulative one with blackstar. otherwise, i dont really get the vibe that he could be in a healthy romantic relationship. he feels way too obsessed with his own grievances, and i think squirrelflight is too loyal to thunderclan to betray it for a guy who caused so much trouble for them.
its not offensive to me, but i cant see it either. so neutral. i guess?

Not a fan either. Much like Maplefrost the only one I could see someone ship Sol with is Blackstar. But even that's pretty bad honestly, considering Sol's entire goal around Blackstar was to manipulate him. So even that's a no from me.

Since when was this popular? Maybe I'm just really out of touch with the fandom, but it seems it's possible this is just a quick flash in the pan made by a couple of people and will swiftly be forgotten.
Anyway, onto the ship itself, I mean, what can I say? I don't think these two even share any dialogue in the books if I'm not mistaken. If they do, it's only the most banal stuff. My Sol ship tastes tend towards having him with Hollyleaf for a tragic angsty angle, and it's difficult for me to see what's the appeal of him and Squirrelflight.

My Sol ship tastes tend towards having him with Hollyleaf for a tragic angsty angle, and it's difficult for me to see what's the appeal of him and Squirrelflight. As stated in my top post on here, this ship is only getting (emphasis on that word) some attention within one particular part of the overall fandom atm. On tumblr to be more precise. And I'm honestly not sure if this pairing will fade away again or get more content over the next few years (such was the case with MoonSquirrel at least who are also popular on tumblr but other parts of the Warriors fandom as well). Although the most named reasons for both MoonSquirrel and SolSquirrel are usually along the lines of "Squirrelflight deserves better than Bramblestar" in most instances I've seen. So there's that. There are some shippers of these couples on here as well but it's by no means popular on the forums. I cannot see the appeal of either ship since Moonlight came off as a horrible character to me during SqH and TR while Sol is worse than Bramblestar in the argument of him being manipulative, considering that it's Sol's whole intentional goal to manipulate others into doing his bidding in canon (which he still failed at in the end). Then again, I've never shipped BrambleSquirrel either so if fans want to put them with other characters, I'm completely fine with that (since I do it too). Although in these two cases, it really does seem to be out of spite for Bramblestar which is just not my vibe. Sorry for rambling on like that btw (whoops).

Well with Moonsquirrel, Squirrelflight at least did spend a lot of time and dialogue with her, including some very close friendship stuff that you could easily make a ship out of if you interpret it intimately. I don't think it's a good ship, but I can at least see the logic. Sol though is just strange, because I genuinely don't remember them ever even talking.

Well, perhaps one of those (for now) rare SolSquirrel shippers on here will comment on this thread to explain it. I'm not qualified to speak on that, seeing as I've got no idea either.

Squirrel deserves better. Picturing Hollyleaf exploding faster if she saw her “mom” fall in love Sol. Sol would be in the stream at the end of Long Shadows instead of Ashfur.

Another emotionally taxing and unhealthy realtionship for Squirrelflight? No thanks. I despise this ship.

Never understood the appeal of this. It makes as much sense as HawkSquirrel (aka NONE)
Squilf would despise Sol.
