Maybe the reason we're all intrigued by the novella of mapleshade is just because its one of those rare type of stories with no happy ending.Even the supposed happy ending we are given is still depressing.
I'm not even that into warriors....like at all but Mapleshade's story is really damn interesting to me and I'm rather invested? I think I found out the reason why now
Why does everyone forget about Myler? You know, the cat who tried to save Mapleshade when she was dying but she told him to go away and he left somewhere in the barn?
I'm honestly surprised at how much attention this map got. I want to thank every single one of you, the participants did an amazing job and i tried my hardest putting this project together, even though my editing doesn't look as good as i wanted it to. Words can't express how much i love how it turned out. Ps. To anyone wondering why Maple is blue in some parts- WHy the fuck not it's a pallete map let's go wild and make Maple a smurf
GOD. IM SO HAPPY THIS WAS IN MY RECOMMENDED!! Everything was scripted so well, the designs were eye-catching, and the flow was stunning! If this MAP doesn't receive the recognition it deserves I will lose my shit. Great job to everyone who worked on this!
I honestly adore multiple animator projects so much because 9 times out of 10 they'll introduce me to a new song that I've NEVER heard of before. This song is honestly really good? Can't believe I've never heard it before. 10/10 what a bop. Anyway this map is honestly wonderful? Also that colour palette? Yes please! We stan smurf Mapleshade. I love the artwork here as well as the tweening. Everyone did such a good job!
i recognised the melody immediately from the song "A horse with no name" which was the original, but MJ had permission to use it. I didn't know until I saw this that he had made a song based on it! And yes, my goodness, i have found SO MANY amazing songs thanks to MAPs. Even songs that I already knew are more entertaining to listen after seeing these!
tbh this is one of my favorite mapleshade maps I adore how it doesn't instantly villanize her but in a way humanizes her for all the struggles and bs she went through. if ashfur can get into StarClan for loving too much can I get my woman mapleshade in for being a badass and getting back at those who were indirectly responsible for killing her kids. ALSO THOSE COLORS ARE TASTY DAMN
NixSol I think the difference between Ashfur is possibly Ashfur regretting nearly killing those cats, while Mapleshade didn’t. She killed Ravenwing, Frecklewish, and Appledusk, and had no regrets for it. She was also happy to be in the Dark Forest (which can be seen at the end of her novella), which shows she doesn’t have a single regret. Though I do believe Ashfur deserves to be in the Dark Forest, but I think that was why one went to the Dark Forest, while the other didn’t. It also wasn’t anyone’s fault but Mapleshade’s for the death of her kits. Ravenwing was doing his job by telling Oakstar about the kits possibly being not fully ThunderClan, while Mapleshade did lie about the kits being Frecklewish’s kin. As for Appledusk, nothing he could’ve done would’ve saved Patchkit, Larkkit, and Petalkit. While Oakstar certainly deserves some of the blame, at the end of the day, it was Mapleshade’s fault for crossing the river. Nevertheless, I still find her an amazing villain with such a tragic backstory.
Sorry sorry I'm late! It's mostly oakstar's fault I believe. He banished kits and knew mapleshade wouldn't take them there cause he led raids there. The rest of the clans wouldn't take in a stray warrior. Possibly if she said that thunderclan had banished her kits she would have made it to shadowclan and windclan. The only option was riverclan. She had to take them across the river since there is no other way. So it's kinda oakstar's fault. He played a role by banishing 3 kits. 3 KITS. Even though he could've used them as new warriors but I guess that's how thunderclan worked.
@@Jay-qn8lm I know I'm late, but in her book, Frecklewish asked if Birchface was the father. Mapleshade didn't correct her because, oh well, why not? And Thunderclan broke the warrior code by not helping a queen with kits. Frecklewish watched Mapleshade's kits drown and did nothing. And of course, Appledusk acted like he couldn't get away from crazy Mapleshade and that he instantly regretted being with her when he was told she was expecting, even though he was actually "happy". He framed her for her kits' deaths, and Riverclan wouldn't help her.
Choc_ Chip Choc_ Chip Appledusk definitely wasn’t a good cat, though there really wasn’t anything he could’ve done to save his and Mapleshade’s kits. By the time he knew that the kits were drowning, the kits were already dead. While yes, Appledusk definitely should’ve tried to understand that it was an accident, it truly was all Mapleshade’s fault. She made the choice to cross the river (even though it was overflowing). While sure, some of the blame could go to Oakstar for allowing the kits to be put into that situation, it still was ultimately Mapleshade’s choice to take the risk and cross the river in an attempt to get to Appledusk. And in all honesty, I can’t blame Frecklewish for not jumping into the river to save Mapleshade’s kits. Frecklewish was ThunderClan, meaning that she likely couldn’t swim. It would be suicide for her to jump into the overflowing river to try to save Mapleshade’s kits. She would likely drown as well, or not even manage to save a single kit. Now she could’ve gone to try to get help in ThunderClan, but that might’ve taken too much time, and most ThunderClan cats can’t swim or are very poor swimmers. There was little Frecklewish and Appledusk could do. Now I’m not trying to claim that Mapleshade deserves all of the blame (in all honesty, I think Oakstar deserves a good chunk of the blame for exiling a queen and her kits, which would ultimately put the kits in danger), but a good chunk of the blame for the kits’ deaths does fall on Mapleshade.
Jay I just want to point out that it’s against the warrior code to put kits in danger. Oakstar knew it was about to storm. He knew Twoleg place wasn’t safe. He knew she couldn’t go to Shadowclan. Oakstar was very much responsible to some extinct for there deaths. Same with Frecklewish as she stood by and watched three innocent kits drown. They broke the same code. I agree Ravenwing did his job. Yes there is nothing Appledusk could’ve done to save the kits but he was downright ruthless to Mapleshade who had just lost her home and children. Plus he’s a cheating bastard. Sorry I got off topic. I agree most of the blame falls on Mapleshade but not all of it. Lots of cats broke the warrior code in maples book which to me is what made it so interesting.
That's absolutely true HTGDF I wasn't actually prepared with this much since i haven't read the book and only recently read the summary. I mostly took my information from other maps bc apparently that's smart.
Mapleshade went to Riverclan to kill Appledusk. She didn't expect Reedshine to be right there though. Plus Mapleshade specifically went after three cats she blamed for their deaths (keep in mind she was hallucinating her dead kids).

@@Angela-iw2ss fr 💀 Someone else, maybe like Birchface, even though theyve never seen him, probably took care of them. Appledusk doesnt in like ohis kits except for Reedshine's. Its possible he still loves them but he doesnt like to show it.
Ahh, so sad I couldn’t make it, but I’m so happy it’s done! Everyone who participated did a wonderful job. Thank you Mintle Flower and everyone who helped out for this wonderful MAP.
Im absolutely stunned that u guys could upload a Map with a song of freaking MICHAEL JACKSON without iMMEDIATELY getting taken down :'D I hope it stays that way!!
I think it wasn't taken down because since Michael Jackson isn't with us anymore, nobody's really owning his music. There probably is someone since the video did get a copyright claim but they're either not able to take it down or just don't want to.
My crops are watered my skin is clean asdgsf All the artists did a magnificent work! The colour pallete changes where wonderful and this is overall a very beautyful map!
Wo ah Holy shoot- I expected a good animation, and this not only went to the limit of good but past that to breath taking! There are alot of good animations, but none really strike me with emotions because I have learned how to fight them off while watching animatics. However, this animation just snatched that wall away and charged at my heart, nearly seizing it at the end when Mapleshade saw her kit's spirits one last time before she passed on! I did not honestly expect to almost cry- I want to say this was amazing to watch and you animators continue what you are doing!
OH MAN, Everybody did such an amazing job to make this gorgeous MAP as wonderful as it can be!! The designs, the art, the expressions, the emotion, ahhh!~
AAAAAAAA This is amazing! I love the choice of music (Michael Jackson is my Favorite singer tbh) for these 2 characters! The plot is amazing and the colors looks beautiful, and the DESIGNS! The Designs are amazing can we just acknowledge this?! These animators did an amazing job too!! AAA I love it, good job!
i love this so much- honestly one of my favourite warrior cat maps. it stands out from the others, i never had read mapleshade's vengeance, but i really understood the story told by this! most maps, you would have to read the books or the script to understand, but i understood everything just by this very map. thank you to all the animators, and the host for creating this wonderful masterpiece!
At first, I didn't know a thing about Maple and Apple's relationship. He used to be one of my favorite characters, of course, I didn't know why. Once I learned what he did to Maple, I kinda wanted to jump into the universe and delete him lmao. It's all his fault she became a fucking beast. Maple is queen.
OH MY GOD. I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!! MINTIE THIS IS WONDERFUL! everybody's parts were so good! the colors and the song itself is just wonderful! amazing job guys!!?💕💕💟💖
Ok so I’ve finally read Mapleshade’s Vengeance and... Why does *every single map* just throw Myler out the window? Yeah, he only appears twice, but he was there when Maple died...
@@MINTLEFLOWER It's a really good MAP but I'd advise you don't make maps if you don't know all the facts in the future lol. No hate it's just a lot of characters get really demonised because of that kind of thing, that's all ^w^. And yes ik I'm late lmao
@@tastic9307 Cheating was wrong but he didn't deserve death or any of what happened. And yeah, Mapleshade is evil as you said. Idk why people deny that when literally every book, even the novella they use in their arguments say she's evil.
Omg this MAP literally perfectly portrays their relationship. Most people like to think that Mapleshade was in the right, and that Appledusk deserved everything he got, but this Map shows the reality. Don't get me wrong, Appledusk screwed up big time and the Reedshine thing was literally the ultimate jerk move, but that didn't deserve death. Mapleshade, on the other hand, is literally a psychopath, naive that she could have the perfect life with him, turned into a literal serial killer to ruin and end his life after he two timed her. I will say tho, as the mom of the dark forest. Slay.
Oh. My. Gosh. This is amazing, why am I not seeing it sooner?! I love what you did at the end, when she looked up at the camera. Thank you for creating this masterpiece!
2019 is going to be a great year in the animation community. Everyone's worked so hard on this and I can't get enough of this MAP. Much love to all animators! Also. Mapleshade deserved better than Appledusk, a debate.
Haha I know this map is months old but I can't stop thinking about this lol. Appledusk's little tuft of fur under his chin makes him so adorable and he kinda looks like a goat I'm just saying he looks so cute even if he was kind of a jerk. Bootiful map btw the designs are so cute
Damn for once Appledusk death was correctly portrayed ! ( poeple seem to forget he sacrifice himself and Mapleshade didn"t want to kill him...) Congratulation just for this i like this map aha ! ( that's maybe only me, but Appledusk need more love....)
DoctorWhoXIII He truly is. And it annoys me when people rush to defend Mapleshade, when she certainly did worse things compared to Appledusk. And, in Appledusk’s defense, we don’t know his entire story. Maybe Appledusk was planning on cutting it off with Mapleshade after she had her kits, since I believe it was about three months since they met again. A lot can happen in three months/moons. As for Appledusk turning Mapleshade away, he was possibly full of grief due to losing Patchkit, Larkkit, and Petalkit. But we’ll never know since we don’t know his side of the story.
@@Jay-qn8lm Yeah if my mate killed my kids, i would be angry to them too, i cant blame him I like to think Appeldusk takre care of Patchkit, Larkit and Petalkit in Starclan ^^
Lest you all forget, Reedshine was already pregnant and heavy with kits when Mapleshade crossed the river-therefore he’d been cheating on her for QUITE a while. Remember the scene when he met he kits? He pretended to love her. No matter how you slice it, he cheated.
Perchpaw: What a nice day! Mapleshade: I’m gonna kidnap this child to get attention. **Perchpaw is kidnapped** *EMOTIONAL DAMAGE* Also! Great map! Like it how it changes colors, I also like it how Appledusk’s eyes are blue when it color changes. I feel like I’m the only one who makes Appledump’s eyes another color.
I just wish that Erin Hunter/the team of writers would sit down and watch all of these wonderful maps. I would pay to see their reaction ^^ I bet they’d love it
@@sootstar8682 I mean- we don't really know that? Maybe he broke up with Reedshine and went with Mapleshade? Or maybe Reedshine had fallen in love with him while he was mates with Mapleshade?
If you think about it, starclan made her evil, they were the ones that gave her that vison of the kits.(its not confirmed, but there is plenty books where cats have dreams that lead to prophecies or events)
Michael Jackson.... i miss him musics ;-; Poor maple´shade the first time i saw her in Warriors i think she was evil bacause she just wanted but now i fell bad for her
In my opinion at 4:19 was a great part of the video, basing it on the artstyle I'm sure the artist is a beginner or something like that and to see they wanna put their stuff out there is amazing
Lol I know the changing colors are probably just supposed to be something that looks cool to to along with the chorus of the song but I'm still gonna read into it. However I have two theories about the color pallet changes 1.) The color shift seems to happen whenever the character's in the map do something that was never supposed to happen. The first time is when Appledusk and Mapleshade break the code, falling in love and going against the will of Starclan in the process. The scene where Appledusk falls for Reedshine- a Riverclan cat- like he's supposed to being in the normal coloration wheras the colors are 'wrong' when he's doing the 'wrong' thing with Mapleshade. The second time the colors become distorted is when Mapleshade is exiled. We know that exile isn't a normal punishment for having half clan kits, and so the clan is doing something terrible by banishing her. The colors stay off throughout the scene where the kits drown and Mapleshade is cast away by Riverclan, showing that they are making a mistake. That this is wrong. Finally when Mapleshade and Appledusk both die the colors are abnormal. Neither of them should have died this way. Obviously murder is horrible. Obviously a lot of wrongs were done that day. 2.) The color changes represent Mapleshade's volatile mental state The first time it switches is when Appledusk and Mapleshade are together. Throughout their relationship, though, Mapleshade was being deceived and cheated on. Both her view of the world and the colors are distorted. She isn't seeing things how they really are and neither are we. The second time is when Mapleshade loses her kits. This is also when she loses her sanity. She begins to hallucinate. Once again our view of the world is correlated with Mapleshade's. When she's seeing things that aren't there so are we. Finally, when Mapleshade killed Appledusk we get the color flip. This is a moment when her sanity is, once again, completely off. She's hallucinating vividly and she literally kills someone.
My friend introduced me to this today and I love it it’s nice and smooth and a very calming song yet the animation gets you through a lot of feelings and that’s what I love about this you and everyone else did amazing on this well done to everyone who worked on this I just love it so much 👍👍👍👍
can we talk about how the only bad thing appledusk really did was cheat on his mates? like he felt bad for it obviously and mate up with his actual mate, he never actually did anything to mapleshade other than that. meanwhile, mapleshade killed three characters, tried to kill appledusk’s pregnant wife, killed her children (albeit on accident) when she could have easily not taken them to riverclan and hidden somewhere else with them until they were old enough to cross the river. mapleshade deserved to go to the dark forest, she didn’t even try to fight for her place in thunderclan with her kits in the first place. remember guys, she killed *THREE* characters in awful ways. *THREE*. how many did appledusk kill? i’ll wait.
luxscream!! He also turned away Maple in her time of need, and didn’t even protest when they said they wouldn’t even give the kits a proper burial. Meanwhile maple lost her home, her family, he lover cheated on her, her children died, everyone rejected her, she got revenge after cat god told her too, and then she is sent too hell.
AspenPaw Arts all of that was kind of her own doing lol. she manipulated him, so why would he want her in the clan? and it wasn’t him that turned her away, it was riverclan’s leader at the time. he knew what he did was wrong and he owned up to it, unlike mapleshade. mapleshade tried to make excuses for her actions, thus causing us, the readers, to try and sympathize with her. she doesn’t deserve sympathy, she still killed people and tried to kill a pregnant lady as well.
luxscream!! AppleDusk doesn’t deserve sympathy either for being killed though. He cheated on his wife, didn’t even try too give his children a proper burial, then left Maple too die alone in shock after her children’s death, because she “manipulated” him, aka he just didn’t want to live with his mistakes
Shut up. I'm not crying your crying! Mapleshade... her kits... she'll never be with them. *tears* IM NOT CRYING YOU ARE! This is the most beautiful map... FOR SURE a new favorite. I loved how you changed their colors back and forth. Also, love how she had that crazed but sad and lonely look in her eyes. I don't blame her... she shouldn't have gone to The Dark Forest! It wasn't fair!! Sure she killed them... but still! I mean she became evil and killed (for the last time) my favorite character, Spottedleaf. OMG it's so hard because my 2 favorite characters kill each other (Well... Sandstorm killed Mapleshade) I miss Maple, and I miss Spotted *TEARS* Don't stop making maps, cuz this was FREAKING AWESOME!!! LUVED IT!! Appledusk kinda deserved it... I mean... C'mon! Cheating on your mate who has your CHILDREN!? NOT COOL MAN! Then you don't care they drowned?! *EXTRA NOT COOL MAN!* Comment: if you like Mapleshade in The Dark Forest Like: if you wish she went to Starclan with her kits and maybe became good again.
This maple shade design is awesome It’s cool she has a heart shaped mark on her chest like when she got killed it was slashed and it stayed as a slashed heart on her chest in the dark forest as symbolism

@@Angela-iw2ss fr 💀 Someone else, maybe like Birchface, even though theyve never seen him, probably took care of them. Appledusk doesnt in like ohis kits except for Reedshine's. Its possible he still loves them but he doesnt like to show it.
@@angelcake.3328when was it ever said that he didn’t like his own kits. It’s proven throughout the book that he loved them tf are you talking about
Ahh, so sad I couldn’t make it, but I’m so happy it’s done! Everyone who participated did a wonderful job. Thank you Mintle Flower and everyone who helped out for this wonderful MAP.
i loved the hell out of this map and i still love it,who knew michael jackson works so well with murder cats.
Love this. Warriors and Michael Jackson. Purrfect
Im absolutely stunned that u guys could upload a Map with a song of freaking MICHAEL JACKSON without iMMEDIATELY getting taken down :'D I hope it stays that way!!
I think it wasn't taken down because since Michael Jackson isn't with us anymore, nobody's really owning his music. There probably is someone since the video did get a copyright claim but they're either not able to take it down or just don't want to.
THIS IS INCREDIBLE
MMMMMMM
God everyone's Parts went so good together. And the editing is just-- MMM.
Oooh yes I’ve been waiting for this one
My crops are watered my skin is clean asdgsf
All the artists did a magnificent work! The colour pallete changes where wonderful and this is overall a very beautyful map!
2:13 that looks like some tasty grass.
4:40
HER KITTENS WERE WITH HER IN HER LAST MOMENT!!!
BUT THEY NEVER SAW HER AGAIN!!!
SOOO SAAADD
She went to the dark forest
And visits her kits at the border of the dark forest
@@gh0stf0x51
That makes me feel a bit better
Wo ah Holy shoot-
I expected a good animation, and this not only went to the limit of good but past that to breath taking! There are alot of good animations, but none really strike me with emotions because I have learned how to fight them off while watching animatics. However, this animation just snatched that wall away and charged at my heart, nearly seizing it at the end when Mapleshade saw her kit's spirits one last time before she passed on! I did not honestly expect to almost cry-
I want to say this was amazing to watch and you animators continue what you are doing!
even if i wasn't included in the map i'm glad to see that my thumbnail is there xD
aaaAAAAAA IT’S WONDERFUL!!!! The parts flow together perfectly and everyone did an outstanding job!! Thank you so much for letting me join!!
OH MAN, Everybody did such an amazing job to make this gorgeous MAP as wonderful as it can be!! The designs, the art, the expressions, the emotion, ahhh!~
AAAAA this map turned out amazing! I especially adore the palette! Great work everyone!
I can never take Michael Jackson music seriously with the noises he makes while singing
(love it btw)
😂😂
MMMHM THIS TURNED OUT AMAZING💕💝💖😤
Everyone did a great job!!
Thanks for letting me be apart of this!!
This MAP turned out so well! everyone invovled did such an excellent job, and I love Mapleshade's design so much!
AAAAAAAA This is amazing!
I love the choice of music (Michael Jackson is my Favorite singer tbh) for these 2 characters!
The plot is amazing and the colors looks beautiful, and the DESIGNS! The Designs are amazing can we just acknowledge this?! These animators did an amazing job too!!
AAA I love it, good job!
i love michael jackson songs!
i love this so much- honestly one of my favourite warrior cat maps. it stands out from the others, i never had read mapleshade's vengeance, but i really understood the story told by this! most maps, you would have to read the books or the script to understand, but i understood everything just by this very map. thank you to all the animators, and the host for creating this wonderful masterpiece!
At first, I didn't know a thing about Maple and Apple's relationship. He used to be one of my favorite characters, of course, I didn't know why. Once I learned what he did to Maple, I kinda wanted to jump into the universe and delete him lmao. It's all his fault she became a fucking beast. Maple is queen.
Why ty twoleg :3 (Jennifer)
Wow this is just pure talent. this whole thing!!!! I really admire the palette change with the mood! lol All of the animators did amazing!!!
THIS IS SUCH A PRETTY MAP AND A PRETTY SONG I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MAP!!!
Dang... Mapleshade deserved so much better than a dirty cheater.....
This is overall amazingly awesome, I cried from how superb it was *:')*
3:09 that is the face of an insane person.....
indeed it is friemd, but honestly though, mapleshade didn't deserve any of this, she lost her kits and everyone turned against her :(
foxo pair She didn’t deserve any of it at all :P
@@mangythefox2725 She wanted Revenge on Her kits By Killing Ravenwing Frecklewhish AppleDusk
OH MY GOD.
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!
MINTIE THIS IS WONDERFUL!
everybody's parts were so good! the colors and the song itself is just wonderful! amazing job guys!!?💕💕💟💖
Ok so I’ve finally read Mapleshade’s Vengeance and... Why does *every single map* just throw Myler out the window? Yeah, he only appears twice, but he was there when Maple died...
Gonna be honest i didn't even read Mapleshade's vengeance
@@MINTLEFLOWER It's a really good MAP but I'd advise you don't make maps if you don't know all the facts in the future lol. No hate it's just a lot of characters get really demonised because of that kind of thing, that's all ^w^. And yes ik I'm late lmao
If Mapleshade's clan haden't exiled her and Appledusk cheating on her she woden't be in the Dark forest.
Exactly- but people just say “APpLeDusK diD nOtHIng WrOng maPl3 is eViL
@@aspenpawarts9333 Well, Apple DID do nothing wrong and Maple is evil
@@tastic9307 Cheating was wrong but he didn't deserve death or any of what happened. And yeah, Mapleshade is evil as you said. Idk why people deny that when literally every book, even the novella they use in their arguments say she's evil.
Omg this MAP literally perfectly portrays their relationship. Most people like to think that Mapleshade was in the right, and that Appledusk deserved everything he got, but this Map shows the reality. Don't get me wrong, Appledusk screwed up big time and the Reedshine thing was literally the ultimate jerk move, but that didn't deserve death. Mapleshade, on the other hand, is literally a psychopath, naive that she could have the perfect life with him, turned into a literal serial killer to ruin and end his life after he two timed her. I will say tho, as the mom of the dark forest. Slay.
Yes! Finally! everyone did a great job! I'm really sooo happy!
I've been waiting for every day for this masterpiece!!
Mapleshade really does have a sort of sad backstory, doesn't she. Glad to see Appledusk's death properly portrayed for once.
I always love the different art styles combined it one, it makes the video so detailed. You guys did such a good job!
Love the bright/saturated blue on her pelt!! So beautiful and it goes with all the other colors awesomely!
It came out so good!!! Everyone did such a great job!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Oh. My. Gosh.
This is amazing, why am I not seeing it sooner?!
I love what you did at the end, when she looked up at the camera. Thank you for creating this masterpiece!
2019 is going to be a great year in the animation community. Everyone's worked so hard on this and I can't get enough of this MAP. Much love to all animators!
Also. Mapleshade deserved better than Appledusk, a debate.
DUDEEEEEEEE
OKAY
THIS IS HONESTLY ONE OF THE BEST MAPLESHADE MAPS I HAVE EVER SEEN. WOAH.
ITS HERE FINALLY AAAA!! THIS WAS SO GREAT! GOOD JOB TO EVERYONE!
FUCKIGN HOT HOLY SHOT
I watched the parts playlist so many times sksksksksk!! Everyone did so well! Thanks for lettin me join dude!
Omg as soon as i heard Michael's voice i was sold❤
I NEVER THOUGHT ID SEE THE DAY WHEN MICHEAL JACKSONS MUISIC IS IN A MAP
God damn, I love Appledusk so much.
Same
Honestly this map is like,,, so underrated?? Confusion noises?
I see you have castle cats Nyadra as a profile picture
OMFNFJjahhahshsysy I'M SO GLAD THAT I'M PART OF IT.THANK YOU SOO MUCH!!
Haha I know this map is months old but I can't stop thinking about this lol.
Appledusk's little tuft of fur under his chin makes him so adorable and he kinda looks like a goat
I'm just saying he looks so cute even if he was kind of a jerk.
Bootiful map btw the designs are so cute
Damn for once Appledusk death was correctly portrayed ! ( poeple seem to forget he sacrifice himself and Mapleshade didn"t want to kill him...) Congratulation just for this i like this map aha ! ( that's maybe only me, but Appledusk need more love....)
DoctorWhoXIII HOLY FRICC YES idk why but I just always loved appledusk
@@hecker4547 Aha same here ! :D he's really underated and overhated
DoctorWhoXIII He truly is. And it annoys me when people rush to defend Mapleshade, when she certainly did worse things compared to Appledusk.
And, in Appledusk’s defense, we don’t know his entire story. Maybe Appledusk was planning on cutting it off with Mapleshade after she had her kits, since I believe it was about three months since they met again. A lot can happen in three months/moons. As for Appledusk turning Mapleshade away, he was possibly full of grief due to losing Patchkit, Larkkit, and Petalkit. But we’ll never know since we don’t know his side of the story.
@@Jay-qn8lm Yeah if my mate killed my kids, i would be angry to them too, i cant blame him
I like to think Appeldusk takre care of Patchkit, Larkit and Petalkit in Starclan ^^
Lest you all forget, Reedshine was already pregnant and heavy with kits when Mapleshade crossed the river-therefore he’d been cheating on her for QUITE a while. Remember the scene when he met he kits? He pretended to love her. No matter how you slice it, he cheated.
AAAAHHHH IM SO HAPPY WITH THIS MAP!!! I freaking love Michael Jackson and his music and, most of all, the animations are awesome!!
Perchpaw: What a nice day!
Mapleshade: I’m gonna kidnap this child to get attention.
**Perchpaw is kidnapped**
*EMOTIONAL DAMAGE*
Also! Great map! Like it how it changes colors, I also like it how Appledusk’s eyes are blue when it color changes. I feel like I’m the only one who makes Appledump’s eyes another color.
By the way, Don’t get mad at me, but I make Apple’s eyes violet.
OH
MY
STARS
This blessed my eyes so much iajanskslamaja
I’ve been waiting for this map for a while, and I’m so happy that it’s finished!!!
3:40 such a powerful scene
I just wish that Erin Hunter/the team of writers would sit down and watch all of these wonderful maps. I would pay to see their reaction ^^ I bet they’d love it
Poor Appledusk, I loved him so much
amazing map btw
You did?
@@sootstar8682 I mean- we don't really know that? Maybe he broke up with Reedshine and went with Mapleshade? Or maybe Reedshine had fallen in love with him while he was mates with Mapleshade?
@@pherousa7014 Have u read Mapleshades vengeance?
@@sootstar8682 Yep.
If you think about it, starclan made her evil, they were the ones that gave her that vison of the kits.(its not confirmed, but there is plenty books where cats have dreams that lead to prophecies or events)
You should probably like the video or Mapleshade’s ghost will haunt you forever
🤣🤣
This is literally fantastic! I love how their marking colors change in scenes! It’s super creative! Good job!
Michael Jackson.... i miss him musics ;-;
Poor maple´shade the first time i saw her in Warriors i think she was evil bacause she just wanted
but now i fell bad for her
IM SCREAMING THIS IS AMAZING! IM SO HAPPY WITH HOW THIS TURNED OUT
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
0:48 appledusk beard is just epic
In my opinion at 4:19 was a great part of the video, basing it on the artstyle I'm sure the artist is a beginner or something like that and to see they wanna put their stuff out there is amazing
You put a fucking SPACE in my name??
Cancelled.
YJTGRHFTFGHTTHGF
Oh man seeing mapleshades kits looking so happy then being swept away broke my heart
A MAPLESHADE MAP?!?! TO AN MJ SONG!?!?! HELL FREAKIN YEEAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!
i loveee how the colors become all bright when they were fighting, its just like when they both were in love the colors lit up. BEAUTIFUL
This Map turned out wonderful great work everyone!!
OOOOHHHHH YEEEETTTTTT
EVERYONE DID A FANTASTIC JOB
WHY IN MY RECOMMENDED DID IT SAY THIS VIDEO WAS POSTED 49 YEARS AGO??
RUclips IS DEFINITELY DRUNK.
Lol I know the changing colors are probably just supposed to be something that looks cool to to along with the chorus of the song but I'm still gonna read into it.
However I have two theories about the color pallet changes
1.) The color shift seems to happen whenever the character's in the map do something that was never supposed to happen.
The first time is when Appledusk and Mapleshade break the code, falling in love and going against the will of Starclan in the process. The scene where Appledusk falls for Reedshine- a Riverclan cat- like he's supposed to being in the normal coloration wheras the colors are 'wrong' when he's doing the 'wrong' thing with Mapleshade.
The second time the colors become distorted is when Mapleshade is exiled. We know that exile isn't a normal punishment for having half clan kits, and so the clan is doing something terrible by banishing her. The colors stay off throughout the scene where the kits drown and Mapleshade is cast away by Riverclan, showing that they are making a mistake. That this is wrong.
Finally when Mapleshade and Appledusk both die the colors are abnormal. Neither of them should have died this way. Obviously murder is horrible. Obviously a lot of wrongs were done that day.
2.) The color changes represent Mapleshade's volatile mental state
The first time it switches is when Appledusk and Mapleshade are together. Throughout their relationship, though, Mapleshade was being deceived and cheated on. Both her view of the world and the colors are distorted. She isn't seeing things how they really are and neither are we.
The second time is when Mapleshade loses her kits. This is also when she loses her sanity. She begins to hallucinate. Once again our view of the world is correlated with Mapleshade's. When she's seeing things that aren't there so are we.
Finally, when Mapleshade killed Appledusk we get the color flip. This is a moment when her sanity is, once again, completely off. She's hallucinating vividly and she literally kills someone.
Your Local Noob you got the heart- so I’m assuming this is true
4:04 when my bff wants to give me a DEADLY hug
My friend introduced me to this today and I love it it’s nice and smooth and a very calming song yet the animation gets you through a lot of feelings and that’s what I love about this you and everyone else did amazing on this well done to everyone who worked on this I just love it so much 👍👍👍👍
can we talk about how the only bad thing appledusk really did was cheat on his mates? like he felt bad for it obviously and mate up with his actual mate, he never actually did anything to mapleshade other than that.
meanwhile, mapleshade killed three characters, tried to kill appledusk’s pregnant wife, killed her children (albeit on accident) when she could have easily not taken them to riverclan and hidden somewhere else with them until they were old enough to cross the river. mapleshade deserved to go to the dark forest, she didn’t even try to fight for her place in thunderclan with her kits in the first place. remember guys, she killed *THREE* characters in awful ways. *THREE*. how many did appledusk kill? i’ll wait.
luxscream!! He also turned away Maple in her time of need, and didn’t even protest when they said they wouldn’t even give the kits a proper burial. Meanwhile maple lost her home, her family, he lover cheated on her, her children died, everyone rejected her, she got revenge after cat god told her too, and then she is sent too hell.
AspenPaw Arts all of that was kind of her own doing lol. she manipulated him, so why would he want her in the clan? and it wasn’t him that turned her away, it was riverclan’s leader at the time. he knew what he did was wrong and he owned up to it, unlike mapleshade. mapleshade tried to make excuses for her actions, thus causing us, the readers, to try and sympathize with her. she doesn’t deserve sympathy, she still killed people and tried to kill a pregnant lady as well.
luxscream!! AppleDusk doesn’t deserve sympathy either for being killed though. He cheated on his wife, didn’t even try too give his children a proper burial, then left Maple too die alone in shock after her children’s death, because she “manipulated” him, aka he just didn’t want to live with his mistakes
AspenPaw Arts actually no, the kits did get a proper burial but mapleshade just wasn’t allowed to witness it. that’s a common misconception
luxscream!! Tell me where it says that
YEAAAAHHH THIS IS SO GOOD, i'm gad i got to be a part of it
4:13
Mapleshade: *my spidey senses are tingling*
OH MY GOD THIS WAS BEAUTIFUL! EVERYBODYS PARTS WAS SO GOOD!
Um yessss??!!! My boy Jackson too
Shut up. I'm not crying your crying!
Mapleshade... her kits... she'll never be with them. *tears* IM NOT CRYING YOU ARE! This is the most beautiful map... FOR SURE a new favorite. I loved how you changed their colors back and forth. Also, love how she had that crazed but sad and lonely look in her eyes. I don't blame her... she shouldn't have gone to The Dark Forest! It wasn't fair!! Sure she killed them... but still! I mean she became evil and killed (for the last time) my favorite character, Spottedleaf. OMG it's so hard because my 2 favorite characters kill each other (Well... Sandstorm killed Mapleshade) I miss Maple, and I miss Spotted *TEARS* Don't stop making maps, cuz this was FREAKING AWESOME!!! LUVED IT!! Appledusk kinda deserved it... I mean... C'mon! Cheating on your mate who has your CHILDREN!? NOT COOL MAN! Then you don't care they drowned?! *EXTRA NOT COOL MAN!*
Comment: if you like Mapleshade in The Dark Forest
Like: if you wish she went to Starclan with her kits and maybe became good again.
This is perfect, I'm obsessed with Michael Jackson 😂😜
This maple shade design is awesome
It’s cool she has a heart shaped mark on her chest like when she got killed it was slashed and it stayed as a slashed heart on her chest in the dark forest as symbolism
oH WOW I *N U T T E D*
I have been waiting for this MAP to get done every since I first saw it and it's great! 🌟
