For those who'd like a short-ish summary of the AU, i'll write one here. Patchkit is missing when Mapleshade crosses the river, so he lives. He wanders into Riverclan, where Reedshine fosters him. Riverclan doesnt trust him at first, taunting him for what his mother did. Everyone except Reedshine and her kits. Patchkit is haunted by Mapleshade, obviously feeling a bit nervous about it. After the deputy dies of greencough, Reedshine is made the new deputy (Her kits are apprentices now). The clan have finally accepted Patchpaw by this point. He gets his warrior name, Patchshine, as he requested to be named after Reedshine. That night, sleeping in the warriors den, he wakes up in the Dark Forest, where he cofronts Mapleshade. (Timeskip). During a battle with some dogs, Patchshine gets badly injured, and Reedshine gets killed. Patchshine is heartbroken, but gets appointed as the deputy by Darkstar. (Timeskip). After Darkstars death, he goes to get his nine lives, getting one of them from Reedshine. He cries into her fur, telling her how much he misses her. Once he's recieved his lives, he returns to Riverclan, now Patchstar. Thats the AU! I do recommend looking at the doc as well, as it has a more detailed description of the AU.
Jaelyyy Mar this is maple shades kit- it managed to escape the wave and the others survived they just never mentioned it in the book you can tell this is maple shades kit because of the markings and colorings and how he/she acts when she/he gets older (I mean he don’t turn evil he just gets angry for some reason)
@@peytonc5861 What you just said didn't make sense- Also what you said was completely false and could give people the wrong idea. My only suggestion is to read the books??
I just realized; not only did Patchkit ask to be named after Reedshine, but shine and shade are opposites. MapleSHADE and PatchSHINE, representing that Patchshine was good, and Mapleshade was bad.
@The Nyan Maple she did many things wrong, doesnt mean i dont love her. Yes she did bad things, but she was driven mad by grief-edit: She may of been driven mad, but she was still evil-i changed me mind lol
May i just say how amazing Reedshine is here?? She immediately takes in a sick, tired kit, only to find out he's the result of an affair between her mate and a cat from another clan, who also tried to murder her and sucessfully killed her mate. And what does she do? She raises him as her own, and defends him from her clanmates. Reedshine wins mum of the year award yes thank you
AlphaAreus mhmm! Appledusk was horrible but reedshine, bless her heart, only forgave him for cheating since she wanted her kits to have a father! And then in this au she takes in the kit of the one who killed her mate 🥺💕 you know even though this ship could never happen if they had ever met each other I think Thrushpelt and reedshine would have been perfect for each other!!! They’re both so sweet and kind it’s like they’re meant for each other 🥺
I've always hated Reedshine and I always will. I've always felt horrible for Mapleshade, because she didn't deserve what happened to her. But this is just my own opinion.
@@edgyteen8206 Can I express my own opinion? (No hate towards you, and other Mapleshade fans). I think Mapleshade actually treated everyone too harshly? I mean, why kill 2 cats instead of your "ex boyfriend" lets say. I dont understand why people get so much hype about her. I mean I know appledusk is bad, but why reedshine? Reedshine wasnt even that much involved in this, she was just innocent. She didnt knew who waited her in the shadow. A "maybe happy" relationship with appledusk or a tragic story?
Audie is your waifu change my mind alright lemme try to explain, she tried to go after reedshine because she believed appledusk belonged to her and she saw reedshine as a threat to their relationship. And for frecklewish and ravenwing she shifted the blame of her kits dying to them because ravenwing is the one that got her exiled while frecklewish watched her kits drown or so Mapleshade’s vengeance says. Not really sure if this answers your question but I hope it does!
Also imagine - Reedshine protecting Patchpaw from Oakstar during his first gathering (cause we know, that Oak would say something nasty) - Patchshine sleeping close to Reedshine in Warrior's den, cause he loves his mom - Patchstar receiving two of his nine lives from Petalkit and Larchkit, who say that they are most happy that their brother got to live a good life and even become a leader - Patchstar also getting a life from Appledusk, who says that he is sorry for everything that happened to him and his siblings and for not being present in his life and that he cannot be more proud. - Patchstar, if he ever gets a mate, calling one of his kits Reedkit - Him being a wonderful uncle to his half-siblings' kits - Patchstar protecting his father's descendants from his mother. When Mapleshade tries to manipulate Crookedkit, he confronts his mother again and tells her to stay away. He becomes a spiritual guide, as well as a comforting friend, to Crookedkit instead. - Patchstar still playing with his kit-siblings in Starclan to make it up for their missed time together - Patchstar and Mapleshade having a final confrontation during the battle with Dark Forest. Both having given up on each other completely moons ago - she sees him as a traitor and no longer her kit and he sees her as a monster and no longer his mother. Reedshine has been his mother for a long time.
@@Cottagecat2368 We can't really know that, as we know next to nothing of his acomplishments in this AU. He could be forgotten or he could leave a great trace after himself and still be remembered - a matter of headcanons.
I really enjoyed this. I really like reedshine. And it was nice to see something where people don't automatically condemn her as a bad cat because she wasn't super buddy buddy with mapleshade, and because appledusk chose reedshine over her. All together I feel like this added some much needed character depth to some of these characters. I give this map 10/10 reedshines
Reedshine wasn’t exactly evil, just a cold diva, moreover. She didn’t have a right to be so harsh to Mapleshade after such a recent, devastating loss, but she wasn’t in the wrong for being defensive over Appledusk. She-cats in the series seem to have a lot of beef with each other when it comes to mates lol
Wowie Zowie I agree with what you just said entirely, and thank you for not being an angry child simply because of a different opinion. Props to you, lol
Honestly before I just kind of saw Reedshine as like the girl who sees her boyfriend cheat, then blames the other girl for it, but this MAP makes her so much more than that. I think she saw Appledusk through rose colored glasses but once Patchkit came along and Appledusk was dead she "opened" her eyes and saw Appledusk as the manipulative cat the he was. She could never completely forgive the she cat who took her kits father away from them but I think she did feel some kind of sympathy for Mapleshade.
I adore this MAP but I feel like Mapleshade wouldn’t be angry at Patchkit Her kits meant everything to her, they were her whole world I don’t think she would be really angry at him, I feel like she would be angry, but sad as well Y’know?
I feel like she was bitter enough to be angry at him for being raised by reedshine. Obviously it's not his fault but shes that kind of character imo, I mean in her mind theres her kit being a part of the family she hates most
I still can’t believe how stunning this turned out to be, everyone did so good it couldn’t be better! This au is so creative and aaaA! Tysm for letting me jump in twice, it was really fun and let me practice pmv.
OH. MY. GOSH. I literally have no words. I'm speechless. My jaw is on the floor. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY This turned out *BEYOND* AMAZING!!! Everyone here is so incredibly talented!!! I can't even process how stunning this turned out. The raw emotions oh my-
I love this au, the scene when patch and maple circled eachother really showed off their similar designs. I never really like Reedshine, but I think that's mostly because her loyalty to Appledusk enabled him to not receive consequences for his actions. I like the idea that she sees patchkit for what Thunderclan was blinded to: an innocent child caught up in their mother's lies.
I mean, unlike Mapleshade, he didn’t make excuses. When the truth became unavoidable, he told Riverclan himself and begged for forgiveness. Plus, since this is Mapleshade’s perspective, we don’t know what else RC did to him after
What a creative and fun AU! Patchkit is my favorite out of Mapleshade's kits, and seeing him get a happy life warms my heart. Also, Reedshine is best mom. I personally feel that if one or more of Mapleshade's kits had lived, she would have taken them under her wing and have not judged them or treated them poorly because of what their mother did.
@ShutmonMayhem Neo He wanted to tell his leader, Oakstar, about it because she betrayed her Clan. He most likely didn't know that something horrible would happen to the kits
@@sublithium people seem to forget that Ravenwing was a young, inexperienced medicine cat (Mapleshade’s words) that only just taken over as head medicine cat. He received a sign and interpreted it the best he could. He made a mistake
@@jackisbored2608 frecklewish I think absolutely feels bad. She didn't go out of her way to kill those kits, she was hurt she finally had a glint of hope that her brother would live on and she felt hurt and betrayed all over again, opening that wound.
Man, having FINALLY read Mapleshade's Vengeance for myself, this AU hits different. "Don't you want to join in? It looks like they're having fun." "I'm fine here. You need me to keep you warm, don't you?" "You're doing a great job. I might have to share you with the elders to stop them getting cold." "No! I want to stay with you forever and ever! Even when I'm an apprentice!" "That won't be for another four moons, little one. By then, you'll be so big and strong, you'll be glad to leave the nursery and start your warrior training!" *"No, I won't. I never want to leave you."* How quickly things changed...

@@scooterscones Oh, btw some might find it easier in the comments, but others, like me, find it easier in the description. IDC what y'all find easier, also, just saying.
This is super cool! My head-cannon/AU was that Patchkit asked to live with his mother, not understanding all the terrible things she had done, and grew up with her in the Dark Forest. As he grew up, he began to realize how evil she was. Then when the time came to destroy the Clans, Patchkit finally went against his mother's word, and helped StarClan.
I really like this map because it puts Patch is a safer situation, he and his siblings were always In danger, their mother was a manipulative cat who was planning to use them to solidify her relationship with Appledusk, and sure she showed grief when her kits Died but she was still planning on using them. This au puts Patch in a safer place with his adoptive mother and half siblings where he would probably be so much happier, and I would think that the cats Mapleshade killed would be watching him, sorry for what they caused to his siblings by accident and making sure he didn't become like his mother, not like he would need them with Reedshine and his half siblings.
If I’m being honest I used to avoid this map because I thought it was just another: “character who dies early or had no personality in the books goes to the dark forest and becomes evil” au. But for real, wow, this is just beautiful
Audie is your waifu change my mind, please don’t call MapleShade by that name she is a favorite amongst the small array of cats I like in the series. She didn’t handle a situation like she should’ve but she still showed how hard it is to be a mother and the losses that come with it.
THIS TURNED OUT STUNNING!!! HONESTLY,, I CRIED AHHH,, EVERYONE IN THIS MAP IS A GOD, I HAD SO MUCH FUN IN THE SERVER TOO LIKE AAAAA,, THANKS FOR LETTING ME IN 💕💕💕 we love our snails
I read the script and looked at the designs when it first came out and never watched it until now. God do I regret that this absolutely amazing I can't stress how amazing each and every one of you did GHAHA I love this so much I don't know if I'll ever get bored of it. 💕
Almost forgot about this gem but now 2 years later I just realized how heartbreaking this map is Reed shine taking in in a kit that’s the result of her lovers secret affair after he is killed by the other woman Maple shade who now has to watch her only surving child and love be raised by the woman her mate cheated on her with and then him cutting ties with her. The realization that there was a chance for her to still live happily and raise a kit must’ve been tuff too Patchshine who lost both his mother dealing with discrimination from both clans like just damn and let’s not forget abt how his siblings were practically replaced within a moon. His existence was scorned from both clans and he was blamed for his mothers actions like he just simply exists and it’s Not accepted. To make it worse he was just a little kids who knew nothing and quite literally just returned from almost dying This family tree just can’t catch a break 😭
I hate when people try to justify what Mapleshade did, and I think that this AU would’ve worked perfectly, as reedshine was a good person but nobody realizes that.
as ive grown this has become some a comfort map (its what got me into cavetown whose my comfort artist) and i just have to thank everyone who worked on it so much for giving me this
I like how Mapleshade looks sad when she sees her only alive son rejecting her. I mean, she's a terrible person, a mad murderer, but she loves Patchshine deep inside her heart. Amazing MAP!
Wow this is so gorgeous and creative! Every artist did such an amazing job and this is just such a nice AU. It’s really nice to see this little guy get a happy ending, makes me wish this was cannon Edit: Also just wanted to say I adored Mapleshades design! It was super unique and really fit her
This made me want to cry, not gonna lie. I'm so happy to see something like this! And finally a MAP AU that doesn't make the character suddenly evil! Watching Patchkit grow up and live his life to leadership along with his adopted mother Reedshine?? It was something I didn't know I needed until I saw it. And having Mapleshade throughout his life too? Haunting him for something out of his control?? It's so good! Despite Mapleshade's presence and his history of where he came from, he still made a good life with his clan and his family. He stayed true to himself and I'm LIVING FOR IT
i adore reedshine in the book and this amazing map :) i loved this au it was one of the best i have seen i adore little patchkit and floofy patchshine this is truly the most amazing thing in the universe
Not to undermine all the AMAZING work done by all the artists. But “Its fair to say i dont like it :/“ is SUCH a funny response to being haunted by your dead mothers vengeful ghost
This is so great! I love this so much! The animation is great and everyone did an awesome job! I think it is pretty cool how “Patch Kit” is also being raised by a good mom and his half siblings.
I actually love this map so much it inspired me to get back into storyboarding/animating! Thank you for being the first inspiration I’ve had in a long time!!
GOSH I LOOOVE THIS MAP!! THE AU IS JUST BEAUTIFUL AND HEARTBREAKING AS WELL :c All the animators did an amazing job, everywhere is so fantastic tweening holy hecc Also the thumbnail entrys are just gorgeous every single one uwu
I love the idea of the Dark Forest being overrun by snails, which is why it’s a swamp of snail slime Edit: While rewatching the map, I noticed a snail next to Patchshine the night of his visit to the Dark Forest. I just had a brilliant idea. Dark Forest cats can only visit someone’s dreams if they place a snail in their nest. Beautiful.
OH MY GOD I HAVE AN AU LIKE THIS!! Also, THIS MAP IS GREAT. EVERYONE DID SUCH AN AMAZING JOB!! This MAP is so beautiful, and I love the storyline. It's much different than mine, which is good because I'm pretty sure my storyline is super clichéd. I am in love with this MAP! I love the way Mapleshade looks, and how you can obviously tell that they're related. I think the marking on their backs being the same is a really nice detail. Honestly, this is one of the best MAPs I've seen. I love how Patchshine doesn't let his mother's actions affect him as he gets older. I love how he pretty much disowns Mapleshade as a mother, and accepts Reedshine like she was the one who birthed him. That might be because that speaks to me on a personal level, but the story on its own is really beautiful. It shows that just because your parents are bad people, doesn't mean you'll be just like them.
First of all, Appledusk was a jerk, just wanted to get that out there, but thank you very much for this map, it touched my heart and soul, and I love it a lot. Thank you. ^-^ The art is amazing!!!
I found this AU about 3 months ago now, and it’s still my favourite warriors MAP that i have come across. It’s just so emotional, and it’s made me appreciate Mapleshade’s story so much more
OH MYGOOOOSHHH THIS TURNED OUT SO GOOOOD i'm so honored to have been able to contribute to something so gorgeous. I have tears in my eyes- everyone did so well & so much emotion was put into each part aaAAA
I’m just now realising this is the earliest map ever I can think of that actually portrays mapleshades as a bad person With all the drama that would come later, it’s safe to say this aged well
I have watched this at least 6 times. Literally. This is so unique and amazing! The animators all did suxh an amazing job and props to the hoster for putting it all together so smoothly!
OMG this MAP turned out so beautiful and all the parts flow together so nicely! I love this Au and am so honored to be a part of this wonderful map! Thank you so much for letting me in
For those who'd like a short-ish summary of the AU, i'll write one here.
Patchkit is missing when Mapleshade crosses the river, so he lives. He wanders into Riverclan, where Reedshine fosters him. Riverclan doesnt trust him at first, taunting him for what his mother did. Everyone except Reedshine and her kits. Patchkit is haunted by Mapleshade, obviously feeling a bit nervous about it. After the deputy dies of greencough, Reedshine is made the new deputy (Her kits are apprentices now). The clan have finally accepted Patchpaw by this point. He gets his warrior name, Patchshine, as he requested to be named after Reedshine. That night, sleeping in the warriors den, he wakes up in the Dark Forest, where he cofronts Mapleshade. (Timeskip). During a battle with some dogs, Patchshine gets badly injured, and Reedshine gets killed. Patchshine is heartbroken, but gets appointed as the deputy by Darkstar. (Timeskip). After Darkstars death, he goes to get his nine lives, getting one of them from Reedshine. He cries into her fur, telling her how much he misses her.

Oof I have a WC OC named “PatchNose”

- Patchstar receiving two of his nine lives from Petalkit and Larchkit, who say that they are most happy that their brother got to live a good life and even become a leader
- Patchstar also getting a life from Appledusk, who says that he is sorry for everything that happened to him and his siblings and for not being present in his life and that he cannot be more proud.

This is super cool! My head-cannon/AU was that Patchkit asked to live with his mother, not understanding all the terrible things she had done, and grew up with her in the Dark Forest. As he grew up, he began to realize how evil she was. Then when the time came to destroy the Clans, Patchkit finally went against his mother's word, and helped StarClan.
Thank you for saying "grew up" am i the only one that finds the fact that they stay kits a little weird?
0:35 He looks so cute but sad, WHO DARE MAKE ME CRIIIIII
I really like this map because it puts Patch is a safer situation, he and his siblings were always In danger, their mother was a manipulative cat who was planning to use them to solidify her relationship with Appledusk, and sure she showed grief when her kits Died but she was still planning on using them. This au puts Patch in a safer place with his adoptive mother and half siblings where he would probably be so much happier, and I would think that the cats Mapleshade killed would be watching him, sorry for what they caused to his siblings by accident and making sure he didn't become like his mother, not like he would need them with Reedshine and his half siblings.
Its already finished?! This is gonna be legandary!
Edit: I was in the live chat all I saw was: Perfection
If I’m being honest I used to avoid this map because I thought it was just another: “character who dies early or had no personality in the books goes to the dark forest and becomes evil” au. But for real, wow, this is just beautiful
HOW DARE YOU MAKE ME LIKE REEDSHINE
ok jokes aside, this is rlly underrated and amazing, I hope it gets the attention it deserves 🥺💛
faeyth I mean, she didn’t really do anything wrong besides mouthing off Mapleshade
Reedshine didn’t do anything wrong. It wasn’t her fault that she fell in love with a horrible cat.
@@dragonstouch1042 Thats not wrong, everyone has their own opinions, and this map is about patchkit and reedshine not mapleshit
Reedshine was an amazing cat, she did nothing wrong but love.
Mapleshade on the other-hand- aha- NO
Audie is your waifu change my mind, please don’t call MapleShade by that name she is a favorite amongst the small array of cats I like in the series. She didn’t handle a situation like she should’ve but she still showed how hard it is to be a mother and the losses that come with it.
THIS TURNED OUT STUNNING!!! HONESTLY,, I CRIED AHHH,, EVERYONE IN THIS MAP IS A GOD, I HAD SO MUCH FUN IN THE SERVER TOO LIKE AAAAA,, THANKS FOR LETTING ME IN 💕💕💕
we love our snails
I love how in the dark forest and on MapleShade there are snails, that is just a funny but cool touch!
Redshine being a good adoptive mother gives me years of life
I read the script and looked at the designs when it first came out and never watched it until now. God do I regret that this absolutely amazing I can't stress how amazing each and every one of you did GHAHA I love this so much I don't know if I'll ever get bored of it. 💕
Almost forgot about this gem but now 2 years later I just realized how heartbreaking this map is
Reed shine taking in in a kit that’s the result of her lovers secret affair after he is killed by the other woman
Maple shade who now has to watch her only surving child and love be raised by the woman her mate cheated on her with and then him cutting ties with her. The realization that there was a chance for her to still live happily and raise a kit must’ve been tuff too
Patchshine who lost both his mother dealing with discrimination from both clans like just damn and let’s not forget abt how his siblings were practically replaced within a moon. His existence was scorned from both clans and he was blamed for his mothers actions like he just simply exists and it’s Not accepted. To make it worse he was just a little kids who knew nothing and quite literally just returned from almost dying
This family tree just can’t catch a break 😭
I hate when people try to justify what Mapleshade did, and I think that this AU would’ve worked perfectly, as reedshine was a good person but nobody realizes that.
She was incredibly harsh.
@@UndersCatts27 whom is it you talking about?
when patchstar started crying, i almost did too, the expressions in this are incredible :’]
OH MY GOSH THE MAP TURNED OUT STUNNING!!! tysm for letting me in, everyone's parts turned out so well!! 😭❤️❤️
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! EVERYONE DID SUCH AN AMAZING JOB!!
Tysm, Stonepelt, for letting me be apart of this map! It was really fun!! >> 🍎🍎🍎
as ive grown this has become some a comfort map (its what got me into cavetown whose my comfort artist) and i just have to thank everyone who worked on it so much for giving me this
I like how Mapleshade looks sad when she sees her only alive son rejecting her. I mean, she's a terrible person, a mad murderer, but she loves Patchshine deep inside her heart.
Amazing MAP!
Wow this is so gorgeous and creative! Every artist did such an amazing job and this is just such a nice AU. It’s really nice to see this little guy get a happy ending, makes me wish this was cannon
Edit: Also just wanted to say I adored Mapleshades design! It was super unique and really fit her
This made me want to cry, not gonna lie.
I'm so happy to see something like this! And finally a MAP AU that doesn't make the character suddenly evil! Watching Patchkit grow up and live his life to leadership along with his adopted mother Reedshine?? It was something I didn't know I needed until I saw it.
And having Mapleshade throughout his life too? Haunting him for something out of his control?? It's so good! Despite Mapleshade's presence and his history of where he came from, he still made a good life with his clan and his family. He stayed true to himself and I'm LIVING FOR IT
This is one of the most wholesome warrior cats map I’ve ever seen
i adore reedshine in the book and this amazing map :)
i loved this au it was one of the best i have seen i adore little patchkit and floofy patchshine this is truly the most amazing thing in the universe
Not to undermine all the AMAZING work done by all the artists. But “Its fair to say i dont like it :/“ is SUCH a funny response to being haunted by your dead mothers vengeful ghost
This is so great! I love this so much! The animation is great and everyone did an awesome job! I think it is pretty cool how “Patch Kit” is also being raised by a good mom and his half siblings.
Omg the underwater part was my favorite in the beginning
I just love how the MAP let Patchkit live and become a RiverClan cat
I actually love this map so much it inspired me to get back into storyboarding/animating! Thank you for being the first inspiration I’ve had in a long time!!
AAAAA THIS CAME OUT SO GOOD!!
everyone did an incredible job!! This au is so cute!
Can we talk about how wholesome the credits song is? Like, it's so comforting and sweet xD
GOSH I LOOOVE THIS MAP!!
THE AU IS JUST BEAUTIFUL AND HEARTBREAKING AS WELL :c
All the animators did an amazing job, everywhere is so fantastic tweening holy hecc
Also the thumbnail entrys are just gorgeous every single one uwu
Just a detail : reedshine kits and patchkit are half-sinblings,Just no one seens to point out that
this is legit the most wholesome map I have ever seen
this is SO adorable, the participants did lovely!! 🥺
the au is so nicely put together and the snails omg
Ahh this is so beautiful gosh I’m crying
Gosh everyone’s parts where amazing, thank you so much for letting me be a part of this stonepelt! Tis Such a lovely au idea.
DUDE, THIS IS AN AU THAT I ACTUALLY REALLY LOVE, THE ANIMATORS DID SO GOOD
So many underrated artists it makes my head spin, this is incredible :0
WHY DIDNT THE ERINS THINK OF THIS MASTERPIECE?
I cant explain how amazing this map is and I absolutely am in love with this au. PATCHSHINE FOREVER ✌️
I love the idea of the Dark Forest being overrun by snails, which is why it’s a swamp of snail slime
Edit: While rewatching the map, I noticed a snail next to Patchshine the night of his visit to the Dark Forest. I just had a brilliant idea. Dark Forest cats can only visit someone’s dreams if they place a snail in their nest. Beautiful.
This is such a beautiful warriors MAP, I can’t even put it into words. Thank you to everyone who was able to make this project happen!!
OH MY GOD I HAVE AN AU LIKE THIS!!
Also, THIS MAP IS GREAT. EVERYONE DID SUCH AN AMAZING JOB!!
This MAP is so beautiful, and I love the storyline. It's much different than mine, which is good because I'm pretty sure my storyline is super clichéd. I am in love with this MAP! I love the way Mapleshade looks, and how you can obviously tell that they're related. I think the marking on their backs being the same is a really nice detail. Honestly, this is one of the best MAPs I've seen. I love how Patchshine doesn't let his mother's actions affect him as he gets older. I love how he pretty much disowns Mapleshade as a mother, and accepts Reedshine like she was the one who birthed him. That might be because that speaks to me on a personal level, but the story on its own is really beautiful. It shows that just because your parents are bad people, doesn't mean you'll be just like them.
Omg I'm in love with this AU! I love it! The concept and everything! The animators did well! Congrats!! ;w;
First of all, Appledusk was a jerk, just wanted to get that out there, but thank you very much for this map, it touched my heart and soul, and I love it a lot. Thank you. ^-^ The art is amazing!!!
Yay! I love it and I’m so glad to have been a thumbnail person
GOD THIS MAP CAME OUT SO GOOD thank you so much for having me!! everyone did wonderful!
I found this AU about 3 months ago now, and it’s still my favourite warriors MAP that i have come across. It’s just so emotional, and it’s made me appreciate Mapleshade’s story so much more
OH MYGOOOOSHHH THIS TURNED OUT SO GOOOOD i'm so honored to have been able to contribute to something so gorgeous. I have tears in my eyes- everyone did so well & so much emotion was put into each part aaAAA
I’m just now realising this is the earliest map ever I can think of that actually portrays mapleshades as a bad person
With all the drama that would come later, it’s safe to say this aged well
I know this comment is 4 months ol d (happy new years Btw) but you’re absolutely correct??
AAAAAA PATCHKIT WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITE CHARACTERS IN MAPLESHADES BOOK THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL
I love how both Mapleshade's and Patch's cheeks are the shape of a maple leaf (and they each have maple leaf markings on their pelts)
This conveyed so much emotion at the end it literally made me cry… or I’m just very emotional.
OMG THIS IS AWESOME!!!! I love how there is a snail in the corner at the very end! Super creative :)
Read the script
Honestly the most well-put together AU I’ve ever laid eyes on!!
The animators also did FANTASTIC
I LOVE THIS MAP AAA
I love the way the story is told here. All the artists and animators and hosts did amazing!! + a CAVETOWN SONG!!!
I came for the song, stayed for the gorgeous art and brilliant AU.
Dis a VEEEEERRRRRYYYY good MAP. Everyone in this did sooooo good :3
this map is so cute and mmmmmit gives me so much serotonin and i love it
*i...... I wanted for one of mapleshades kits to live - and this map just explains all what I wanted I love it so much*

I have watched this at least 6 times. Literally. This is so unique and amazing! The animators all did suxh an amazing job and props to the hoster for putting it all together so smoothly!
Wow!! There are so many underrated animators that did phenomenal work in this!! Wonderful work!
This is one of a few songs that actually gives me goosebumps
What a wonderful idea for an AU! It's so lovely to see a MAP about a good mom
Bruh, this is so creative! I have no words to describe this!!, all the artists made a great work and the hystory is puurrfect!

This map is so creative and all the parts are done so well,,, it's just beautiful D'X
I just realized there’s a bunch of snails in the dark forest
Ok but Patchkit having been a momma's boy and how they found out probably being him asking "Where's Mapleshade?"
OMG this MAP turned out so beautiful and all the parts flow together so nicely! I love this Au and am so honored to be a part of this wonderful map! Thank you so much for letting me in
