Hey! Just to clarify about the map, this is from Nightcloud's perspective, she will see things differently then how Crowfeather would and when I was originally working on this map I had forgotten a lot of events in the books since I hadn't read them in so long, so that's why Nightcloud comes off looking like the victim. I did not intend for this because overall Nightcloud wasn't the best character, especially towards Crowfeather. But once again I didn't want to just scrap this entire idea since parts had already been finished by the time I really remembered/was informed on how she really acted in the books towards him. I hope you can all still enjoy this map since a lot of hard work was put into it!
I think it makes sense actually since it’s from Nightcloud’s point of view, so even if she wasn’t 100% the victim in the books (do think she suffered but that’s another argument). My point just is in her eyes she is the victim so even if this isn’t her exact personality it makes sense since it’s how she sees it. Hope that makes sense
I like this map! And I do like teh perspective on this this an example of this kinda thing I do this all the time a write I write from 1 perspective and this is a great example thank god for this map! This is awesome! I’m not the only 1 that dose this! Yessss
They also look like the original three kinda. Lionblaze = Firestar Jayfeather = GrayStripe Hollyleaf: Ravenpaw Sorry this was quite random just wanted to point that out
I feel like its more of Leafpool mates Hollyleaf - Crowfeather Lionblaze - mothwing (ya ik it isnt an official ship but still) Jayfeather - Ashfur (idk if im the only one that remeber the fact that when Ashfur died Leafpool started licking his fur just like mother licks her kittens and Jayfeather wondered if she loved him, but still not official) Sorry 4 mistakes but english isnt my native language
Even if I dont like Nightcloud that much, I still sympathize with her. She blindly and naively got into a relationship with someone she knows very little about. Crowfeather did the same thing, wanting to prove himself to be loyal. They didn’t really love each other, Crowfeather obviously but Nightcloud more subtly since she only loved Crowfeather as a surface level image of what she wanted in a relationship. Because of this their relationship crumbled, leaving their son behind. I find her character interesting, not really likable but interesting
@MapleFirework Well yes, the brown cat was Leafpool the medicine cat of Thunderclan, and it's kinda sad that Nightcloud found out that her mate had kits with a cat from another clan that is obviously breaking the rules. And as I can remember (possibly spoilers) Crow and Night broke their relationship but decided that both shall still act the same towards Breezepelt, I mean they shall still act like his parents, even If they are not in a relationship anymore. I'm bad at explaining hope u understand!
@MapleFirework You're welcome! Hope you like the book! I won't spoil you more because Im sure you don't want it (talking about the characters you saw in this map etc etc).
@@TerracoddaEven if a character did terrible things, they can still be your favourite. The comment wasn’t trying to justify him attempting to kill Poppyfrost.
Can I just comment on how incredible the expressions are in this? Each part just expresses the characters’ emotions so perfectly, it’s just hit after hit after hit. It’s really heartbreaking and well done how hurt Nightcloud is by Crowfeather being aloof towards her and Breezepelt, so she imagines scenarios where Crowfeather and Leafpool are together and happy and feels jealous just based on what she pictures in her head and never tells Crow about how she feels. (I assume at least that the white background represents Nightcloud’s imagination) Also just seeing the contrast between crow being more standoffish and cold towards Nightcloud and when he’s with Leafpool being genuinely happy is really effective and well done. That end scene as well where after all the things Nightcloud constantly felt insecure about were confirmed to be true, she finally told Crow how she felt and he didn’t deny it or lie or anything, they just sat together with the distance between them that’s grown to be all that they know. And you can feel for both of them because Crow isn’t obligated to feel things he doesn’t feel, and Night just wants Crow to love her. Everyone did amazing, this MAP is stunning.❤️❤️❤️
It makes sense why this MAP paints her as the victim since it's from her perspective. She seemingly thought that Crowfeather's emotional absence and not loving her was an excuse for her horrible behavior, which in my opinion, it wasn't. In my eyes, it landed her on the same level as him.
2:05 I love how Breezepelt sees that his mother is hurting and turns to comfort her, supressing his own rage that Crowfeather caused. It is just so sweet and heartfelt and makes me even more angry at Crowfeather in general.
Edit: y'all saying he was the victim of his parents shitty relationship wasnt me 'excusing' shit like attempted murder I've gotten two rants in response to this comment and u kno what now I am supporting the evil cat he should have committed more crimes I think. Really the actual victim of the 'relationship' they had was breezepelt. Certainly didnt have a decent role model in either of them, not to mention watching them argue constantly and seeing how much they actually hated eachother caused some serious issues and he ended up manipulated by the dark forest
I thought I was the only one who thinks like that lol. Honestly, I believe Breezepelt would've been a better cat if Nightcloud and Crowfeather actually got along (Probably like remain friends but still has the job to raise Breezepelt). Even if Breezepelt acted like a spoiled, annoying brat, he deserves to have a better role model.

He tried to kill Jayfeather, a medicine cat, and a pregnant queen just for the shits and giggles. He might have been a victim as a kit but he chose to commit violence and he's as much a villain now as either of them are.
Breezepelt a victim? Oh please don't be silly. He joined dark forest villingly. He tried to murder everyone in clan who raised him. He turned his back on only cat that had some sort of connection to him, Heathertail. He tried to kill Jayfeather because they shared same father? And you say he is a victim?
Absolutely, she always corrected breezepaw whenever he misbehaved while crowfeather would lash out without correcting the behavior. She's even seen helping and caring for lion paw, the whole "she hates leafpools children!" Thing is completely false, she also never voices her jealously, the only time she lashed out was when leafpool told crowfeather she still loved him, wouldn't you be angry if your husbands ex went on a rant about missing and loving them?

She dragged him off of Leafpool with claws unsheathed, immediately after Crowfeather flung Breezepelt off of Leafpool (who is an ENEMY WARRIOR CROSSING THE BORDER) “like a piece of prey”. Claws shouldn’t have been used, but I don’t blame Nightcloud for being angry in that situation.
Oh me, oh my! Do I love me a good Nightcloud or Crowfeather MAP! Although all three characters of their family are far from being any of my favorites, I still love 'em! I always love to analyze Nightcloud especially though, because of how flawed she is. The canon books usually try to paint her in a bad-ish light, but I always blame that on the fact we're usually reading through Leafpool and her kids' eyes whenever anyone talks about Nightcloud. One of the aspects of this MAP I loved most and never thought of myself, is Nightcloud always thinking about Leafpool. It would make a lot of sense, especially since she always resents Crowfeather for that. But it also helps boost how much she hates Crow and Leaf directly after the Three's parents are revealed. It'd justify her thoughts. Now, for clarification, I do not agree with most of Nightcloud's canon actions either. But you can 100% like characters, and also 100% not agree with their actions. Otherwise, nobody would be allowed to like a story's villains...... except horrible people......
2:10 absolutely my new favorite MAP part, holy shit. I can’t stop replaying it, it’s just so amazing. The expressions and movements are so spot on! The betrayal Nightcloud feels, anger and pent up feelings Hollyleaf feels, embarrassment, frustration, and defensefulness Crowfeather feels, shamefulness Leafpool feels, shock their clan mates feel, and how pissed off Breezepelt feels. Nightcloud looking at him in disbelief, but also like she kind of suspected it all along and isn’t even extremely shocked. How she backs away from him. Crowfeather looking at all his clan mates like he is so annoyed because he thought he got past his drama with Leafpool and gained their trust again, and Breezepelt and he arguing because Breezepelt is letting out his anger for him and is defending his mom! JUST PERFECT!! Just… wow.
Ok, I’ve been thinking that this song would be absolutely perfect for THESE EXACT SAME CHARACTERS and I was just waiting for someone to make a MAP! And it turned out beautifully! I love every single part of this, it’s absolutely amazing!
THIS IS EPIC!! The aspect of this map is phenomenal! This is what I call an high quality made map! Everyone did so good, I can't get over it! Also poor Nightcloud.
I love the disgust and betrayal on Nightcloud’s face at the gathering scene when she looks at Crowfeather with tears in her eyes, such a beautiful map 😭❤️ It’s at 2:16 for those wondering
No one in Crowfeathers relationship (Crowfeather, Breezepelt, Nightcloud) were innocent, but none of them were villains either. Ok well, Breezepelt is an exception lol
@@yarrowturkey And did you forget how he tried to murder Jayfeather and Poppyfrost? He is not a victim. He betrayed his own clan, family and only cat that loved him ( Heathertail ). Say whatever you want but he is not victim
@@yarrowturkey I've actually read Crowfeather's trial And there He thinks about Breezepelt as a kit. Nightcloud said to Crowfeather " your playing Is too rough. You do this Wrong And this. " Because Breezepelt was only one surviving kitten from their litter. Nightcloud made Breezepelt think that his father hated him.
@@yarrowturkey ok I know this was a year ago but I just saw this comment today. Just because someone trained in the Dark Forest doesn’t make them a victim. Thistleclaw trained in the dark forest, does that make him a “victim”? Breezepelt did many bad things on his own without the need of the Dark Forest’s influence. He had those ambitions and anger from the start, the Dark Forest only gave him the strength to act on them.
Your on fire with these videos mate! First the Ashfur one, now this. Love how you're showing the perspective of these cats who are usually villafide or disliked by the community.
This map is just so beautifully expressive! I also love the idea that from Nightcloud's perspective, she's the victim. It when you hit that last scene with them side by side that you get the most honest mix of emotions. They're not fighting, but none of this is okay and they both know it.
She is not the victim, in fact we could say it is Breezepelt, his parents only got into a relationship for their own need, Crowfeather was only with Nightcloud to prove he is loyal and Nightcloud because she was looking to have a kit and know how it feels having a partner but both did wrong choosing someone they barely know. Breezepelt suffered all this time, his father barely loved him and his mother was no better treating him like a kit and manipulating him to make him hate his dad. As he watched his parents getting slowly more apart he obviously felt the he was, having a uncaring dad and a mad and jealous mom (and so he started training on the dark forest, all those feelings were enough to manipulate him to train there)
First of all: Nightcloud is abusive, she once attacked Crowfeather because she was jealous of leafpool and caused harm to him, and he never once defended himself in that moment. He *hissed* and that was all. She also NEVER LOVED Crowfeather and only loved the idea of a mate since she wanted kits so badly. She also made Crowfeather EXTREMELY uncomfortable with unwanted attention and everytime we see them together she's always touching him, while leafpool and feathertail were gentle and kind. She also practically foamed at the mouth and went "mine, Mine, Mine, Mine, mine" when Leafpool and Crowfeatehr were talking, she SANK HER CLAWS INYO HIS PELT?!? This is also extremly unaccurate because she never loved Crowfeather and was a very bad mother to breeze since all she did was convince him his father hated him. Also Nightcloud admitted she never loved Crowfeather
@@dopaminedi Okay. I thought my comment was clear, but I feel like I need to explain myself. I don't mean that Nightcloud wasn't abusive or that she actually was the victim in all this. I understand she's terrible. Her relationships with Crowfeather and Breezepelt are terrible. As I said, from her perspective, she's the victim. A lot of abusers rationalize their abuse as necessary. "Oh, I wouldn't need to do these things if they just stayed in line." or "I'm the one being treated unfairly." Nightcloud's not going to see herself as the one in the wrong, and as far as we've seen she hasn't had the self awareness to identify herself as in the wrong. I think the MAP is brilliant because it plays into her perspective, which is that everything is Crowfeather's fault. She's petty, jealous, and came into this relationship for the wrong reasons. But she doesn't see it that way. It isn't until the end that it seems to sink in that this problem is more than just Crowfeather potentially being unloving/unfaithful. That the whole relationship is bad.
This beautiful MAP shows that Nightcloud really did have feelings for Crowfeather. If only he opened up his heart a bit, they would’ve made a good couple. (In my opinion) I love this MAP and it made me realise that NightCloud isn’t that bad.
Well…Crowfeather is to blame for the relationship..he only asked her to be his mate with no feelings at all just to prove he was loyal and didn’t care for leafpool anymore…( which is untrue) crowfeather never had feelings for nightCloud luckily in crowfeathers trial Erin made up for it by making Crowfeather a better parent and nightcloud and him not being mates but being friends and agreeing that they will still be kind to their son and that it should not change anything between their son…I do feel bad for nightcloud she could have had someone actually love and care for her the way she did with crowfeather :(
First of all: Nightcloud is abusive, she once attacked Crowfeather because she was jealous of leafpool and caused harm to him, and he never once defended himself in that moment.

This is also extremly unaccurate because she never loved Crowfeather and was a very bad mother to breeze since all she did was convince him his father hated him. Also Nightcloud admitted she never loved Crowfeather
Honestly, their relationship had nothing to do with love, she was only hurt because she was possessive over him..not in a love way but like a "i've claimed this, it's mine now" like with a object! Neither was perfect and their son suffered because of it. I believe they both deserve better, I hope he found piece in starclan with leaf! and maybe she found a cute tom in starclan to date.
I LOVE HOW BREEZEPELT’s GONE THROUGH SO MUCH ,LIKE HE WAS SO SUPPORTIVE FOR HIS MOM AND HE DIDN’T GET LIFE HE DESERVED, AND HIS FATHER WASN’t REALLY WHAT HE NEEDED, FINDING OUT ABT HALF SIBLINGS MUST HAVE BEEN SUPER ROUGH TOO x_x
THIS IS BEAUTIFUL! I like that this map was in nightcloud's point of view. The emotions were so good. Everyone did so amazing! I feel for both crow and night .
Honestly this is so Night Cloud, I can imagine her feeling this and tbh I would have probably have did the same in her paws, and this song is soooo perfect for her and the animations *chef kiss*
Wow. Just wow. This is amazing. The expressions are so clear, the animations are rlly talented and smooth, and the whole idea behind the MAP is incredible. This turned out perfect, everyone did such a great job!
Bruh this map is perfect all the animators who worked on it did amazing jobs and the song is perfect for it maybe this is what could've been going through Nightcloud's mind the whole entire time.
this map is truly amazing! i personally love the detail in the expressions and even the breathing at some parts. it shows a lot abt what the Nightcloud feels! good job
Ironically, Crow and Night made a formidable friendship in Crowfeather’s Trial. I think he did love her(or at the very least respected her more than he realized)… just not like that. I like to think they’ll hunt together in StarClan
I love to see this as her thoughts deep down, she may have lashed out but deep down I like to believe she just wanted her mates love and more that she never really got Unlike leafpool did
Ok the animation is AMAZING and I just want to say this was a great song choice for this character Nightcloud is a cat that i feel deserved better in life than what she got. Thx for doing this
OMG THIS MAP IS SO UNDERRATED I LOVE IT SO MUCH SHDJSHJ There's no words can describe how incredible it is the animation, the events, expression etc u don't know how much I adore it ahhh 💞💞
Nightcloud, to me atleast, deserved more. Imagine Crowfeather in her perspective. He'd realize what a terrible father and mate he was. I mean, he AGREED to take nightcloud and have kits. And then just neglecting Breezepaw/pelt's needs is wrong! That's mostly what turned him evil, Neglection! Crowfeather could've changed so much by just acknowledging he has a son and mate in HIS clan. Just because he fell for Feathertail + Leafpool means nothing, even though he may still be morning a death, that gives him no right to neglect the ones that love him in his clan, Just because he loves cats in another clan. THIS MAP WAS AWESOME BTW
Despite everything, I’m glad Crow got with Night. Because the way it seemed, no one was interested her. Maybe she didnt get the loving mate she wanted, but she has a son whom she loves unconditionally, and im glad Crow at least gave her that.
Not really. She taught him to be the way he is. If anything she also contributed to his hate for his half siblings. She also lied to him and basically manipulated him. I don't think he sticked to his mothers side because he had a choice. Or that he was ever shown How Crowfeather is. Because of how she lied to him this map shows her perspective because she sees herself as someone she's not and Crowfeather as someone he's not. She let Breezepelt try to hurt others. She even physically abused Crowfeather. (Do note. I am not trying to be rude if I sound so. It's just I've seen so many maps covering up what Nightcloud did to Crowfeather.)
Agreed, after all, I think crowfeather only used nightcloud as a way to prove his loyalty to windclan. NTM the community is pretty biased for crow, because he's a sad emo guy.
@@chrenq2645 Nightcloud did use Crowfeather though when she didnt care for him (as confirmed in Cats of the Clans, she just wanted kits and knew he needed a way to prove his loyalty). She was also a senior warrior when he just became a new warrior
@@layslayer except nightcloud is never seen actually being mean and distant to crowfeather, she's never actually pushed him away or kept him away from breezepelt like everyone believes I sometimes think people forget that crowfeather was the one to encourage breezepelts hate towards thunderclan, that crowfeather has been seen repeatedly abusing breezepelt as an Apprentice, that crowfeather thought of breezepaw as a burden and that the only time nightcloud is seen actually snapping is when leafpool openly admits that she loves crowfeather The main reason people dislike her is that she's seen clawing at crowfeather to get him away from leafpool. The thing is, crowfeather never expressed actual pain and there was not mention of him bleeding or actually being hurt
Fhkdhkhdlhdk this turned out amazing oml!!!!!! Everyone did fantastic, all of the parts flow together so well and the emotion is so clear!!!! Thank you for letting me be a part of this wonderful MAP!!!!!
Great job, everyone! In my head part of Breezepelts reason to hate Crowfeather was because of how he treated Nightcloud, his only parent that really cared about him. I can picture cameos of Breeze and night comforting eachother when no ones looking, going out of camp to clear their minds and being able to bond over their shared feeling of neclection from the dark gray warrior. I can’t help but love that crowfood tho
This MAP is one of the best ones that I have seen in a while because I feel like I can fully understand the Plot. I can tell which character is which without being confused with the designs and the facial expressions are so good in this!
I feel like everyone in the warriors fandom kinda dislikes nightcloud, but i feel like this really goes to the core of her character and shows how she just really wanted crowfeather to love her.
This is amazing. I haven't read warriors in about 4 years now (I'm 16), but this map brings me way back. I love the idea of an alternate perspective, and it's so beautifully emotional! All animators did an amazing job!
I feel like night loud rn, i just came back from christmas with my cousin and I really miss her out once I found out that she went to go to my aunt's house to play with the cats and dogs i got really jealous since I never get to do anything fun with my family while she gets to do everything..
@@RHernandez17 uhm, what? Nightcloud is far from being a toxic mate, she's never been seen actually manipulating breezepelt, she was the one to scold breezepaw when he misbehaved while crowfeather just blindly lashed out at breezepelt without correcting his behavior.

The character expressions, the movement, the color scheme, the music, all fits perfectly into one beautiful masterpiece.
2:10 absolutely my new favorite MAP part, holy shit. I can’t stop replaying it, it’s just so amazing. The expressions and movements are so spot on! The betrayal Nightcloud feels, anger and pent up feelings Hollyleaf feels, embarrassment, frustration, and defensefulness Crowfeather feels, shamefulness Leafpool feels, shock their clan mates feel, and how pissed off Breezepelt feels. Nightcloud looking at him in disbelief, but also like she kind of suspected it all along and isn’t even extremely shocked. How she backs away from him. Crowfeather looking at all his clan mates like he is so annoyed because he thought he got past his drama with Leafpool and gained their trust again, and Breezepelt and he arguing because Breezepelt is letting out his anger for him and is defending his mom! JUST PERFECT!! Just… wow.
Ok, I’ve been thinking that this song would be absolutely perfect for THESE EXACT SAME CHARACTERS and I was just waiting for someone to make a MAP! And it turned out beautifully! I love every single part of this, it’s absolutely amazing!
This is a really great map! Especially because people don’t really think about Nightcloud that much in the books.
THIS IS EPIC!! The aspect of this map is phenomenal! This is what I call an high quality made map! Everyone did so good, I can't get over it!
Also poor Nightcloud.
oh my goodness, the emotion in this map, every single participant did such a good job conveying the feelings and the animation in just stunning. wow
I love the disgust and betrayal on Nightcloud’s face at the gathering scene when she looks at Crowfeather with tears in her eyes, such a beautiful map 😭❤️
It’s at 2:16 for those wondering
No one in Crowfeathers relationship (Crowfeather, Breezepelt, Nightcloud) were innocent, but none of them were villains either.
Ok well, Breezepelt is an exception lol
@@yarrowturkey And did you forget how he tried to murder Jayfeather and Poppyfrost? He is not a victim. He betrayed his own clan, family and only cat that loved him ( Heathertail ). Say whatever you want but he is not victim
@@yarrowturkey I've actually read Crowfeather's trial And there He thinks about Breezepelt as a kit. Nightcloud said to Crowfeather " your playing Is too rough. You do this Wrong And this. " Because Breezepelt was only one surviving kitten from their litter. Nightcloud made Breezepelt think that his father hated him.
@@yarrowturkey Well I think Nightcloud should have known that Crowf never loved her.
@@yarrowturkey ok I know this was a year ago but I just saw this comment today.
Just because someone trained in the Dark Forest doesn’t make them a victim. Thistleclaw trained in the dark forest, does that make him a “victim”? Breezepelt did many bad things on his own without the need of the Dark Forest’s influence. He had those ambitions and anger from the start, the Dark Forest only gave him the strength to act on them.
Your on fire with these videos mate! First the Ashfur one, now this. Love how you're showing the perspective of these cats who are usually villafide or disliked by the community.
This map is just so beautifully expressive! I also love the idea that from Nightcloud's perspective, she's the victim. It when you hit that last scene with them side by side that you get the most honest mix of emotions. They're not fighting, but none of this is okay and they both know it.
She is not the victim, in fact we could say it is Breezepelt, his parents only got into a relationship for their own need, Crowfeather was only with Nightcloud to prove he is loyal and Nightcloud because she was looking to have a kit and know how it feels having a partner but both did wrong choosing someone they barely know. Breezepelt suffered all this time, his father barely loved him and his mother was no better treating him like a kit and manipulating him to make him hate his dad. As he watched his parents getting slowly more apart he obviously felt the he was, having a uncaring dad and a mad and jealous mom (and so he started training on the dark forest, all those feelings were enough to manipulate him to train there)
First of all: Nightcloud is abusive, she once attacked Crowfeather because she was jealous of leafpool and caused harm to him, and he never once defended himself in that moment. He *hissed* and that was all. She also NEVER LOVED Crowfeather and only loved the idea of a mate since she wanted kits so badly. She also made Crowfeather EXTREMELY uncomfortable with unwanted attention and everytime we see them together she's always touching him, while leafpool and feathertail were gentle and kind. She also practically foamed at the mouth and went "mine, Mine, Mine, Mine, mine" when Leafpool and Crowfeatehr were talking, she SANK HER CLAWS INYO HIS PELT?!? This is also extremly unaccurate because she never loved Crowfeather and was a very bad mother to breeze since all she did was convince him his father hated him. Also Nightcloud admitted she never loved Crowfeather
@@dopaminedi Okay. I thought my comment was clear, but I feel like I need to explain myself.
I don't mean that Nightcloud wasn't abusive or that she actually was the victim in all this. I understand she's terrible. Her relationships with Crowfeather and Breezepelt are terrible. As I said, from her perspective, she's the victim. A lot of abusers rationalize their abuse as necessary. "Oh, I wouldn't need to do these things if they just stayed in line." or "I'm the one being treated unfairly." Nightcloud's not going to see herself as the one in the wrong, and as far as we've seen she hasn't had the self awareness to identify herself as in the wrong.
I think the MAP is brilliant because it plays into her perspective, which is that everything is Crowfeather's fault. She's petty, jealous, and came into this relationship for the wrong reasons. But she doesn't see it that way. It isn't until the end that it seems to sink in that this problem is more than just Crowfeather potentially being unloving/unfaithful. That the whole relationship is bad.
This beautiful MAP shows that Nightcloud really did have feelings for Crowfeather. If only he opened up his heart a bit, they would’ve made a good couple. (In my opinion) I love this MAP and it made me realise that NightCloud isn’t that bad.
Well…Crowfeather is to blame for the relationship..he only asked her to be his mate with no feelings at all just to prove he was loyal and didn’t care for leafpool anymore…( which is untrue) crowfeather never had feelings for nightCloud luckily in crowfeathers trial Erin made up for it by making Crowfeather a better parent and nightcloud and him not being mates but being friends and agreeing that they will still be kind to their son and that it should not change anything between their son…I do feel bad for nightcloud she could have had someone actually love and care for her the way she did with crowfeather :(
Nightcloud never love crowfeather She only used him to have a family
STOP IVE NEVER READ THE BOOKS AND I STARTED CRYING AND FEELING BAD FOR NIGHTCLOUD AND NOW I FEEL BAD STOP!!!!! THIS IS SO GOOD OH MY GOD

@@dopaminedi she was just dragging him away 🙄. She didn't draw blood, the books would have said si
Honestly, their relationship had nothing to do with love, she was only hurt because she was possessive over him..not in a love way but like a "i've claimed this, it's mine now" like with a object! Neither was perfect and their son suffered because of it.
I believe they both deserve better, I hope he found piece in starclan with leaf! and maybe she found a cute tom in starclan to date.
This map was amazing!! Nightcloud is my favorite character and I’m glad she’s getting more maps!
Fannon nightcloud is my favorite after Longtail, cannon nightcloud..eh
@@sageteatime The fandom demonizes her, I have a couple great posts you could read
Nightcloud isn’t my favorite character because I like her, but more because she’s an interesting and complex character
I LOVE HOW BREEZEPELT’s GONE THROUGH SO MUCH ,LIKE HE WAS SO SUPPORTIVE FOR HIS MOM AND HE DIDN’T GET LIFE HE DESERVED, AND HIS FATHER WASN’t REALLY WHAT HE NEEDED, FINDING OUT ABT HALF SIBLINGS MUST HAVE BEEN SUPER ROUGH TOO x_x
THIS IS BEAUTIFUL!
I like that this map was in nightcloud's point of view. The emotions were so good.
Everyone did so amazing!
I feel for both crow and night .
Honestly this is so Night Cloud, I can imagine her feeling this and tbh I would have probably have did the same in her paws, and this song is soooo perfect for her and the animations *chef kiss*
ALSO, just wanna say saberoo's animation looks so pretty and I love her style
But to be fair Nightcloud never loved Crowfeather so its a bit inaccurate
That ending was so bittersweet I’m in tears.
Wow. Just wow. This is amazing. The expressions are so clear, the animations are rlly talented and smooth, and the whole idea behind the MAP is incredible. This turned out perfect, everyone did such a great job!
Bruh this map is perfect all the animators who worked on it did amazing jobs and the song is perfect for it maybe this is what could've been going through Nightcloud's mind the whole entire time.
God that thumbnails beautiful
this map is truly amazing! i personally love the detail in the expressions and even the breathing at some parts. it shows a lot abt what the Nightcloud feels! good job
Oh wow, this is so beautiful. The animated parts are so well made and flow so good into each other! Lovely work!
Like ummmmmm
THIS IS AMAZING AS ALWAYS. THIS MAP MAKE ME CRY A LITTLE BIT :'3
🖤
I love this story
This is going to be soooo good :)))
Lol
Chills actuall CHILLLS!! I wanna rewatch this map for the first time all over again!!?
I absolutely love this! I see nightcloud getting demonized way to often, its nice to see her perspective
I've been waiting for this for so long! It's finally here! Everyone did an amazing job💖
Ironically, Crow and Night made a formidable friendship in Crowfeather’s Trial. I think he did love her(or at the very least respected her more than he realized)… just not like that. I like to think they’ll hunt together in StarClan
This makes me see Nightcloud from a whole different view
It’s so amazing how you can find a MAP and a difference perspective and just attach ur heart onto these characters.
Love Nightcloud content, she's not my favorite character but I love creative twists on her story like this
ymjuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Bro this is so beautiful I’m crying rn 🥹
But it’s also so sad 🥺
*Great job chilly! And all the animators , this turned out great!*
Wow this song matches your amazing animations. It makes me feel so sorry for nightcloud. Thank you for creating this.
aaaa, what a gem it is to see this finished!! Everyone did so good 💙
this is amazing, everyone who participated in this did amazing, this is truly SO incredible I cannot explain.
Before this map NightCloud was one of my favorite characters but now I’ve grown some sort of respect for her. I
I luv this song so much and this map is akdhjsw PERFECTION
I love to see this as her thoughts deep down, she may have lashed out but deep down I like to believe she just wanted her mates love and more that she never really got Unlike leafpool did
This is amazing, everyone did great!
PREMIERE GANG!
Ok the animation is AMAZING and I just want to say this was a great song choice for this character Nightcloud is a cat that i feel deserved better in life than what she got. Thx for doing this
Oh my gosh it's finally out!!! Everyone did so good! The animation is excellent!!💖🌟
This is genuinely so beautiful
wow everybody did a fantasical job on this map I have very intense pain in my heart now
I actually cried TvT, this was so touching and beautiful, everybody did a great job!!
Okay, this is my all time favorite warriors map now
OMG THIS MAP IS SO UNDERRATED I LOVE IT SO MUCH SHDJSHJ
There's no words can describe how incredible it is the animation, the events, expression etc u don't know how much I adore it ahhh 💞💞
MY FEELINGS I CANT WHY 😭✋
Could I give a ❤️ and 🌟 to this map and all the animators who made this possible
This is so amazing, everyone did so great!
Nightcloud, to me atleast, deserved more. Imagine Crowfeather in her perspective. He'd realize what a terrible father and mate he was. I mean, he AGREED to take nightcloud and have kits.
And then just neglecting Breezepaw/pelt's needs is wrong! That's mostly what turned him evil, Neglection!
Crowfeather could've changed so much by just acknowledging he has a son and mate in HIS clan. Just because he fell for Feathertail + Leafpool means nothing, even though he may still be morning a death, that gives him no right to neglect the ones that love him in his clan, Just because he loves cats in another clan.
THIS MAP WAS AWESOME BTW
Despite everything, I’m glad Crow got with Night. Because the way it seemed, no one was interested her. Maybe she didnt get the loving mate she wanted, but she has a son whom she loves unconditionally, and im glad Crow at least gave her that.
As much as I hate Breezepelt, he did the right thing by sticking to his mother's side
Not really. She taught him to be the way he is. If anything she also contributed to his hate for his half siblings. She also lied to him and basically manipulated him. I don't think he sticked to his mothers side because he had a choice. Or that he was ever shown How Crowfeather is. Because of how she lied to him this map shows her perspective because she sees herself as someone she's not and Crowfeather as someone he's not. She let Breezepelt try to hurt others. She even physically abused Crowfeather.
(Do note. I am not trying to be rude if I sound so. It's just I've seen so many maps covering up what Nightcloud did to Crowfeather.)
Creepy wolf dragon I wholeheartedly agree. She sees herself as the victim of the relashionship when it is quite the oppossite
Agreed, after all, I think crowfeather only used nightcloud as a way to prove his loyalty to windclan. NTM the community is pretty biased for crow, because he's a sad emo guy.
@@chrenq2645
Nightcloud did use Crowfeather though when she didnt care for him (as confirmed in Cats of the Clans, she just wanted kits and knew he needed a way to prove his loyalty). She was also a senior warrior when he just became a new warrior
@@layslayer except nightcloud is never seen actually being mean and distant to crowfeather, she's never actually pushed him away or kept him away from breezepelt like everyone believes
I sometimes think people forget that crowfeather was the one to encourage breezepelts hate towards thunderclan, that crowfeather has been seen repeatedly abusing breezepelt as an Apprentice, that crowfeather thought of breezepaw as a burden and that the only time nightcloud is seen actually snapping is when leafpool openly admits that she loves crowfeather
The main reason people dislike her is that she's seen clawing at crowfeather to get him away from leafpool. The thing is, crowfeather never expressed actual pain and there was not mention of him bleeding or actually being hurt
Fhkdhkhdlhdk this turned out amazing oml!!!!!! Everyone did fantastic, all of the parts flow together so well and the emotion is so clear!!!! Thank you for letting me be a part of this wonderful MAP!!!!!
So beautifull!!! , Congratulations to every animator in this M.A.P !!!! :3
Dudeeee! Finally a map with them!
can we appreciate the lipsyncing and expressions- pls all the animators did so well
Great job, everyone!
In my head part of Breezepelts reason to hate Crowfeather was because of how he treated Nightcloud, his only parent that really cared about him. I can picture cameos of Breeze and night comforting eachother when no ones looking, going out of camp to clear their minds and being able to bond over their shared feeling of neclection from the dark gray warrior.
I can’t help but love that crowfood tho
I have that headcanon in my brain now, that's so sweet to think about.
@@whitefang2312 *yes,* I have recruited yet another one to my *army.*
@@miotmiot7116 we will grow *strong*
Nightcloud was never my favourite cat and will never be but this made me feel bad for her
Such gorgeous emotions and movement in this!!
This MAP is one of the best ones that I have seen in a while because I feel like I can fully understand the Plot. I can tell which character is which without being confused with the designs and the facial expressions are so good in this!
I feel like everyone in the warriors fandom kinda dislikes nightcloud, but i feel like this really goes to the core of her character and shows how she just really wanted crowfeather to love her.
I’m not crying you are
This made me think about my black outdoor female cat named Flea. I'm crying now because she is missing too.
This is amazing. I haven't read warriors in about 4 years now (I'm 16), but this map brings me way back. I love the idea of an alternate perspective, and it's so beautifully emotional! All animators did an amazing job!
Beautifully done, brought me to tears ;w;
I feel like night loud rn, i just came back from christmas with my cousin and I really miss her out once I found out that she went to go to my aunt's house to play with the cats and dogs i got really jealous since I never get to do anything fun with my family while she gets to do everything..
Love this song and this map even more!!! To everyone who worked on a part in this map WOW your so good at art!!
I Love this Map and Nightclouds View! And thanks for be Part in the Thumbnails 🖤
I kinda feel bad for NightCloud CrowFeather never lover her the only thing that was most important to her was her son
But I mean she was a toxic mate to crowfeather maybe crowfeather felt like something was missing like look at the first part I think it was
@@pixel7512 she was extremely toxic. Even if she’s hurt she manipulated crowfeather and breezepelt its really upsetting
@@RHernandez17 I'm that idk why it auto corrected to hate
Ik* I hate this autocorrect
@@RHernandez17 uhm, what? Nightcloud is far from being a toxic mate, she's never been seen actually manipulating breezepelt, she was the one to scold breezepaw when he misbehaved while crowfeather just blindly lashed out at breezepelt without correcting his behavior. Crowfeather also was the one to encourage breezepaws hate towards thunderclan
Amazing MAP!
It's an amazing idea for map! It's wonderful! All the participants made beautiful parts! Congratulations, really wonderful... 💖
This is spectacular. Really captures the love, fear, and betrayal Nightcloud felt. Everyone drew her so beautifully and emotional.
i loved participating in the thumbnail contest! the map looks amazing!
SO EMOTIONAL OMG
darn it i missed the premiere by-.. ten hours : (
this is so cool! good job to all the animators and you too Chilly hehe. you all made a great and wonder piece of art!
ALL THESE ANIMATORS DID SO WELL!!! GREAT JOB
Great job!
this song already makes me cry, let alone this map goddamnit its beautiful
Perfect M.A.Ps don't exis-
Chilly+ the others who made this making M.A.P: say no more
It shouldve been Hold my beer
Fun fact: Nightcloud and Crowfeather had more kits while Nightcloud was kitting, but Breezepelt was the only one to survive
This is extraordinary! Everyone did an incredible job. Nearly gave me tears, this is true talent. Well done everyone that worked on this map! And thank you for this masterpiece.
This is so good I love it do amazing
Wow I'm so glad I found this! It's AMAZING!!!
