Moonbli or Winterwatcher?

I prefer Moonbli, but I wish Moon's feelings were better explained/expressed.

Where's the neither option? I prefer Winterwatcher, but Winter himself still needs to grow before he can romance anyone and I'm glad the books acknowledged that.

Meanwhile, I just don't see any romantic chemistry between Moon and Qibli and it's one of the many things I didn't like about DoD. In fact, when reading the JM arc, I saw more chemistry between him and Winter than I did for him and Moon. And I like Qibli, I just wish Moon's side had been explored more.

I prefer Winterwatcher just a bit more, but I'm cool with both.

I wish we could've gotten Qinter or Qinterwatcher though

i always found moonbli boring. they were more like supportive friends to each other than love interests to me, it was established qibli liked her early on but a lot of his actions just seemed friendly? their relationship was just boring to me. whereas whenever winter thought about his future, he always thought of her in it.

i have to admit though, winter's treatment of her isn't good or healthy, he talks down to her and spent a long time hating her tribe that he passes on his judgement to her long after he decided his opinions were wrong. i feel like with time, he could change and become more accepting but it wasn't the right time for them to be together.

i personally think moon should just be single and qibli and winter should get together, winter started treating him with respect a lot faster than he did with moon, and winter and qibli just know each other a lot better than either of them know moon. they would clash but if they learned to completely respect and understand one another, it could work.

While I shipped winterwatcher first and more both ships are good, I love Winter and Qibli (more than Moon) and I never really cared about the "Bad Boy with a tragic backstory" thing when it came to Winter I just thought they had good chemistry. When Winter said "I hope I never hurt you" I squealed a little. I just thought this love triangle was well executed, I love that whenever Qibli and Winter argued it was never about Moon. When she chose Qibli, Winter was never became bitter and continued to love them both. I have read so few love triangles better than this one.

I personally think Winterwatcher is so much better than Moonbli even though it would be much further down the line. I wish I knew who moon liked too, but I think she likes winter

i honestly don't like either

Moonbli has the same flavour of dry cardboard and with Winterwatcher, it had potential and chemistry but honestly? i really don't like Moon's shift in personality past her book and it felt unrealistic, but it was so much more noticeable in EP - then in DoD she was defending Darkstalker to his face after Darkstalker tried to kill all the IceWings and i?? Winter had every right to be upset in that moment considering the circumstances. and them not trusting Winter to harm a child and them just not telling him about what happened with Darkstalker (because i'm pretty sure he would've objected to changing someone with animus magic, after trying on the Pyrite necklace(?) and the whole thing with Hailstorm), i just?? yeah no i'm really not a fan of either, Moonbli had potential in MR with their dynamic but it was wasted and Winterwatcher's potential was wasted when Moon just had that sudden shift and then DoD is a whole mess that i don't want to touch

i would've preferred Qinter, and especially since it was confirmed in the Boskone event that it was a valid possibility, it just irritates me because i feel nothing was actually done with that canonical lgbt+ rep? like i just don't feel it's good and i don't like that. i like the fanon content Qinter has, though. i'm personally a fan of Wintle and Qintle because tbh? i just like the dynamic they could have, regarding both ships. but yeah no i'm not the biggest fan of any of the love triangle ships, though the Qinter fan content is good imo

I still remember that scene in DoD where Qibli joked about marrying Winter and his mom really seemed to consider that as an option. It's the best.

qinter? that is never gonna happen, first of all, they mostly hate eachother, and winter's parents will basically not allow it. 𝓣𝓲𝓷𝓾𝓿𝓲𝓮𝓵 I totally agree with your last post.

ok ok, lemme fix that, winter hated qibli at first then they were friends. also yea I guess it doesn't matter what his parents think anymore. I am just mixed up today

Actually, I wouldn't even say that Winter hated Qibli. Mildly annoyed would probably be more accurate. But then, this applied to pretty much anyone who wasn't an IceWing, so it's not like his prejudice was exclusive to Qibli, either.

I honestly agree with several people here, but im ok with all four ships discussed here. yes, four.
Moonbli, Winterwatcher, Quinter and Quinterwatcher.

personally i feel like they all would've been better off in a sort of polyamorous relationship with each other. It's been a bit since i read the second arc, but the three of them worked better together then with only two of them, if that makes sense. They each sort of balance each other out.

Well..., honestly I think that Winter would have been a better choice further on down the line. I can see how Tui chose Qibli, and he is very caring about Moon constantly, whereas Winter has been a bit of a jerk at times. But this could have less to some very interesting subplots, and Moonbli is just so... Easy. That sounds harsh, but there is no evidence that Moon likes Qibli, and he acts like more of a friend than a lover. Whereas, in their time alone, Moon and Winter were always awkward, and kinda shy.

I find it very hard to overlook another missed moral/idea - Foeslayer and Arcit caused so much pain by being together, Nightwing and Icewing. The tribes were enemies ever since, Darkstalker happened and the Icewings no longer have animus dragons.

Wouldn't it be so poetically ironic if another Icewing-Nightwing couple stopped all that? They could have taken down Darkstalker, proving that Nightwings could be good.

It was suggested that Moonwatcher could have been one of Darkstalker's descendants and therefore have animus powers. If she and winter were together, they could ahev brought animus blood back to the icewings, therefore solving that problem.

However, I can't see much happening with Qibli, and although he has a very caring personality and cares deeply about Moon, this is just so random - Winter's love was developed so much more in his book that Qibli's ever was. This is proven in the way that Winter hates himself for loving her, but he can't help it. Can't help imagining them together, always thinking about her, and doesn't care what anyone thinks.

To me, Qibli and Moon aren't very compatible either, their personalities seem to indicate that they should be good friends, not lovers. Winter and Moon, however counteract eachother.

Another interesting turn that I also believe should have been followed up, would be Qinter. Their personalities counteract so well, and they already have more romantic chemistry than has been strung between either Moonbli or Winterwatcher.

This is just my opinion, what do y'all think

neither. i am a qibli x winter truther
