Mothpool

Mothpool is the Femslash ship between Mothwing and Leafpool from the Warriors fandom.

Canon
Leafpool and Mothwing were best friends since they were apprentices. They were both medicine cats, meaning they met frequently at half-moon meetings. Leafpool dies in Squirrelflight’s hope while Mothwing lives.

Fanon
is a very popular ship. It is one if, if not the most popular Femslash ship in the Warriors fandom. There are many pieces of fanart and even animations centering around the ship, with some animation getting millions of views on YouTube.

Most Mothpool shippers head cannon that Mothwing is Lesbian and Leafpool is bisexual. A common occurrence in Mothpool fanfiction’s is where Leafpool runs away with Mothwing instead of Crowfeather. In some AUs Mothwing is trans and is the sire the three instead of Crowfeather, although it is more common for Mothwing to adopt Leafpool and Crowfeather’s kits after they break up and raise them with Leafpool. In the latter AU Crowfeather is often portrayed negatively as abusive or just not the right fit for Leafpool, and Mothwing comforts her after they’re relationship doesn’t work out.

Mothpool shippers have gained some infamy however, due to a particular situation where a fan of the ship, the controversial content creator Draikinator, told someone to get hit by a train because they said they didn’t like Mothpool. This gave Mothpool shippers the reputation of being overly aggressive over their ship.
