What are your thoughts on this pairing? I know it's a bit of a crack pairing, but I felt that they had some good scenes together, and can you imagine? We have tons of things where children of enemies get together, but think of how hilarious it would be for parents of enemies to get together. Feel free to share other interesting crack pairings you can think of.

I no longer ship TallJake because of the fact that Jake clearly moved on with two other she cats and had kits while Tallstar didn't seem to have any other romantic relationships. Granted, Jake gives off bisexual and also poly vibes to me while Tallstar is gay. So instead of accepting this outcome, I had the headcanon that they finally got together in StarClan for a while but now I'm just in my little corner of the world shipping TallBark (Tallstar x Barkface). And PineJake sounds great as well, considering that TallJake are apparently seperated in their canon afterlife anyways due to them having different beliefs/walking in seperate skies.

Even though Barkface is a medicine cat, I do like the idea of Tallstar x Barkface! Though I bet Shrewclaw would be PISSED.

He would be but it's not valid to me because I still dislike Shrewclaw for being a bully to Tallstar. And yes, while he did apologize to him, it never came off as genuine to me. Oh wait, I just remembered that he didn't and instead said "I was just teasing you." or something like it. Sorry for suddenly sounding so worked up but this memory kind of managed to make me angry at him again.

Sorry for suddenly sounding so worked up but this memory kind of managed to make me angry at him again. It's fine, I can understand why people wouldn't like Shrewclaw, he actually annoyed me in a lot of his scenes, however, his "sense of humor" I guess reminds me a lot of my own, I often tease people I'm super close to, not because I dislike them or anything, but because being sappy and affectionate just makes me feel super awkward and I don't know how to express my positive feelings in a proper way. Most of the time I don't even consciously do it so I'm not even sure the exact reason why, it's just instinct, and maybe I'm just a jerk, but I can believe that he believed that he was just joking around, but what really matters is how Tallstar felt about it, and he should have listened to him.

I don't think it should really be considered a crack ship. They clearly knew each other pretty well and I've seen some people ship them before. It's just not as popular as TallxJake, which I don't really ship anyway, since they barely knew each other and I never really saw them as partners. If you ask me, it's pretty overrated. Just because something is gay doesn't necessarily make it good.
Needless to say, I prefer PinexJake.

Oh thank god, I was actually expecting to get a lot of flack for even suggesting this ship. I agree, I always saw their relationship as once sided on Tallstar's end, before I read Tallstar's Revenge, I was expecting there to be more there because of the fandom, needless to say it was a bit underwhelming, but eh their friendship was nice, though I wish he would have killed that ungrateful bratty ass POS Sparrow. Not really because I liked that Tallstar didn't go down that road, and I don't think Sparrow deserved to die, but he is def in my top 5 least favorite characters list.

TallJake is fine, and as far as the writers are concerned it was a canon pairing, it just couldn't work out at the time in the story, and because of censorship. But that's why the concept of star-crossed lovers exists for a reason, so it really isn't that deep. And considering the two of them do canonly visit one another in the afterlife it's alright. Just because Jake moved on, doesn't mean he couldn't still have feelings for Tallstar, and the same thing with Tallstar, he wasn't interested in she-cats and still in love with Jake. Whether a character moves on or not doesn't change how much they love past partners.

I never saw it myself, but the writers themselves said that it was the intention, so it's pretty much canon. I can think of at least ten things I would be far more inclined to take beef with over that the Erins have tried making official, so sure, why not?

Agreed, there are several pairings in this series, even their main one, like their OTP, all of them are crap compared to Tallstar x Jake. Which, I don't mind people shipping, and I accept it as canon, it just feels one-sided to me, but my reading comprehension is terrible so maybe it's something that I'm missing.

Why are we talking about TallJake now, lol? Isn't this about crack ships?
I love the idea of PinexJake too. Parents of enemies sounds like a wonderful plot.

Though you know with all the sister rivalries I think they're already doing parents of enemies getting together hah. Imagine this...Palebird x Redclaw because they both lost their mates around the same time, and their kits didn't get along. Can you imagine Palebird becoming mates with a moor runner? Sandgorse would be PISSED!

I'm shrinking in my little corner being literally the only person who ships TallReena. Oh and for PineJake I don't care I like Jake x Nutmeg. Ooh I like Kestrelflight x Willowshine, too.

I can't ship Tall x Reena, I can see Jake x Reena but she was very clearly into Tallstar, and he kept blowing her off. Kestrelflight and Willowshine is an interesting one that I never heard of before, I've heard of Jayfeather being shipped with both of them, but not them being shipped with each other. I'm not sure how I feel about it, because I don't recall much of their scenes together, and I don't really have a grasp on Kestrelflight's personality, but it's an interesting pairing.

I just saw Kestrelflight x Willowshine because WindClan and RiverClan helped each other sometimes. Honestly, I have no idea why I like that either.

Well, that's a better reasoning than pairings that are just like the two exes of a tom or something like Nightcloud x Leafpool, I mean Feathertail x Leafpool could be cute, but Nightcloud x Leafpool?! I don't see that at all.

Shipping is shipping, which is fine, it's non-canon and supposed to be for fun. It's just that a lot of fans aren't really fond of pairings that "invalidate canon orientation" of characters. Tallstar isn't interested in she-cats, and had feelings for Jake, that much is clear in canon, so TallReena invalidates his orientation. Especially when canonly he knew she liked him that way but acknowledged to the readers he couldn't possibly feel the same way. Some people would even take it as "gay erasure" even because it can be harmful narrative, and even more so since gay pairings get little to any representation in general (even if many pieces of media are much more open about it nowadays). People can ship what they want, but it does make sense why some aren't fond of pairings like that.

This is another big reason why I'm not a fan of Tall x Reena, I also wouldn't be a fan of like...Sandstorm x Ravenpaw (This is a ship I actually saw before believe it or not) or Barley x Bluestar.
