See, this is what Spiderleg needed in the books. This would have given more depth to his character rather than people just seeing him as an absent father. Instead, he would have been viewed as someone grieving over tragic losses, and he could have served as a lesson to what happens to those who continue to let grief blind them. It could have been an extremely powerful message.
a lot of the series would be so much better if there was only one writer. or if the writers mapped out a plan for each character on a google doc or something, to stay consistent. so many characters get overlooked because of the poor writing or misrepresented.
i genuinely cried, i forgot how terrible spiderleg’s story is, i just remembered him as “haha funny long leg cat” 😭 all the animators did so well on this!!
I kind of like the way the Erins handled his relationship with Daisy. Spiderleg even said it himself, "It just wasnt meant to be" and I kind of like the maturity of that. The relationship was one that they rushed into, and when it came down to it, it was clear that there was an emotional disconnect. Its a bittersweet sentiment, but an honestly very mature topic for Warrior cats
As one married for several years, and with experience feeling like its not meant to be, I actually find that phrase to be immature. There is no "meant to be", there is only working to make it work, and you always can as long as both are willing. There will be years even that you feel nothing for each other, but that is marriage; Unfortunately most people don't understand this and think its possible to fall out of love, when it is totally normal to stop feeling after a while, or here and there. This would have just been Spiderleg's inexperience, and immaturity.
From what I remember about the books, Spiderleg didn't do a clean break up with Daisy. He somewhat slowly ghosted her and the kids. Of course it's explainable, the MAP shows that, but it doesn't make it good or mature imo
@Blue-mj5gm I see what youre saying, and youre right. Im not saying Spiderleg was mature, like I said there was an emotional disconnect, he was immature and distant, it just wasnt meant to happen in the end.
Even more tragic that despite wanting to avoid going through the pain of losing a loved one again, he still does in the end. But this time, it was over the loss chance of never getting to love them at all
Toadstep following him until he grew older made my heart shatter. He tried to get his father’s attention so much. Spiderleg and him coming down to watch daisy and Rosepetal was just so reassuring and heartbreaking at the same time❤️
this map is so special and gave so many people a new outlook on spiderleg as a character, and what a character study this was! this map has such raw emotions and accurate expressions of how grief can affect someone that the animators managed to capture perfectly. i'm tearing up.
Spiderleg is so underrepresented in the fandom. I am so, SO, happy this map released. I felt so bad for him, even if he left Daisy. The way he felt when Toadestep died realized he missed some of the most important years of his life, all because his siblings and family all died around him.
I like this interpretation of Spiderleg, it shows he is more then just a absent father. He wanted to be there, but couldn’t bring himself to be with his family because he is afraid of losing them like everyone else. When Toadstep dies though, i think he realized yes, cats may die but you shouldn’t let that stop you from being with them, making a relationship, you shouldn’t miss out on that. I like this map. I also love the ending were Daisy and Rosepetal are helping each other with their grief, it does show that Daisy did still care for Spiderleg, even if they did cat divorce. She lost him. I like Toadstep and Spiderleg finally being able to have a relationship at death, and Daisy and Rosepetal know that they will be safe in StarClan. But man.. makes me feel worse for Daisy later when Rosepetal dies, she lost everyone as well. Maybe that is meant to show how different she and Spiderleg are, she still let herself love other cats throughout her lost while Spiderleg closed himself in. I love this map
I've been following this project since the release of the call and... I can't. I just can't. this is probably one of the best maps in a long time. the absence of side characters as the showing of Spiderleg's grief, Spiderleg's movements, Novo Amor's music - it was enough to make me CRY throughout the video. big thanks to everyone who participated in this
God this map is beautiful. What hit me especially hard is when Shrewpaw got hit the song simultaneously saying “I had it almost” while zooming in on his dead paw. My heart
Something I love at 2:33 and onward in this section is that, when you try to look at the memories being shown, you can miss Toadstep. He fades into the background. We in this moment are just like Spiderleg- to focused on grief to notice what’s there until it’s too late. Wonderfully done
My eyes got all wet when Spiderleg started crying over Toadstep's death :(((( This is SO well done, rare are the times I actually feel emotional watching warrior cats maps!
This map absolutely broke my heart. The pacing was well done, it was so sad to see Spiderleg miss out on his kits life and only realizing when they were dying. I've been waiting for this map to come out since the call, and it never disappointed, everyone who worked on this, yall are incredible.
oh wow, i never saw spiderleg in this way. this is absolutely heartbreaking and stunning. genuinely crying by the end. the feeling when he first gets to starclan of like, jesus christ, what did his life end up being? it was nothing. he died without ever having lived. but then he gets a second chance in death. wow wow wow. one of the best warriors maps ever.
I can't express how beautifully depressing this animation is. I never really paid much attention to Spiderleg when reading through the series, as he was never really on my radar, but after watching this beautiful and heartwrenching animation, I have a whole new view and appreciation for both his actions and his character. I'm going to definetely pay more attention to him on my next read-through of the series. And although painful, I love the message this brings, it's a good wake up call for me and probably most others watching this animation as well. Good work to everyone who contributed to this animation, this is one of the best animations I've ever seen and is easily one of my favorites. Even the end credits are beautiful and making me want to sob my heart out. Good job again with this amazing animation to all of those involved. Time to go grab some tissues
I think this is the first time I've ever teared up at a Warriors MAP this shows how underrated Spiderleg really is and how much pain he actually went through the animators showed the emotions so well in this MAP and the music choice is really well picked out as well
we need more maps like this about characters the fandom doesn't talk about often. i love the use of seasons to convey the mood, and the parallels with the cardinal!
he's such an underrated but real character. I love how he's portrayed in this, and I feel so bad for him. he was never a bad guy, just suffered so much. poor baby, I wish I could hug him! this was beautiful, and everyone did so good!
I've come back after such a long time of abandoning Warrior Cats. I can't believe I've forgotten how lucky I was to be surrounded by such talented animators. These books and animations could make anyone cry, and it's insane.
it always amazes me how the warrior cat community can take background characters and add this amazing depth to them, simply by taking the time to analyse the events in their lives. the Erins should take notes!! I love this this take on Spiderleg
I haven’t read of played much attention to warrior cats in a little while, but this is just so beautiful. The song, the designs, the animations. All just go so well together and made me tear up, and to think I only every thought of Spiderleg as the funny guy with long legs instead of how he truly is
Spiderleg is a character that has always left me indifferent, but this video gives him a very special and touching dimension. Congratulations to all the participants, the final result is impressive and conveys so much emotion!
This MAP is indescribably good. I can’t believe how well you were able to capture the story. The themes and message were perfect. Genuinely Heartbreaking, but amazing production 💔
wow. I don't comment on much, but this really struck me hard in a soft part of myself that doesn't often get hit. Grief is soul destroying. It's awful, so awful there are no words for it. But this kind of grief, grief that just keeps coming and coming and tearing you apart from the inside and ruining things that could be good because you can't move on from all you've lost... god. It's such a uniquely wrecking experience and I don't know many people who understand it. I'm too young to have lost all the people I have and this is beautiful. I feel seen and understood and represented. My grief has made me ugly and bitter and angry and so horrifically sad, but so had Spiderleg's in this video, and he's still loved by the few that matter, and even if he's being torn apart, this life is beautiful. I've watched this three times now. god. it really spoke to me and made me feel more understood than I have in months. thank you guys. ❤
This map really needs to be recognized more it really explains spiderleg’s story but it’s so sad it literally shattered my heart . Everyone did amazing!!
This is a MAP that will go down in warrior cat's MAP history, it is this special. I've never seen anyone come anywhere near this close to capturing Spiderleg's tragic story, the symbolism is beautiful and heart wrenching, the story is touching and all the cats feel fleshed out with a third dimensionality that you just don't see in MAPs. There's this feeling I get that with Warrior's its either black or white, and this MAP tells story wirh many shades of grey. Spiderleg is not a good person, he was an absent father for Toadstep until his very death and this is all he seems to be remembered for. With this MAP I am certain people's perception of Spiderleg will be altered in some way shape or form. To me this MAP is monumental, I want to congratulate all the talanted animators who poured their blood sweat and tears into forming this vision. One of the few MAPs that made me cry, well done
This is so amazing but I can’t help thinking back to the legs map, two completely opposite ends of the warriors MAP spectrum and they’re both about spiderleg
so many amazing maps have been released in the last 24 hours! 11-2-24 , 2:00 (just for time) on a side note, this map is one of the most emotion I’ve seen, especially of spiderleg.
Man, I never really liked Spiderleg, but this allows me to see him in a whole new light. The animators did a phenomenal job. Beautiful MAP, so so beautiful.
This map is so breathtaking and emotional. It really sucks you in with the setting and the incredible character animation like there’s so much expressions you know exactly how they feel and it’s heartbreaking. It’s so cool to see another side of a character we usually don’t see in maps and it’s really changed my perception. Fantastic map!!! This is cinema!!!
It turned out just so beautifully 😩❣, thank you for letting me participate way back when! Everyone did such an amazing job and the storyboard is just so amazing, definitely one for the books!
Me personally have never been all too big on maps, but this was absolutely spectacular, everyone involved did an amazing job! I definitely see Spiderleg in a whole new light now, poor lad
Yk I’ve never been the biggest spider leg fan (bro when I saw that daisy and spider leg had kids I literally couldn’t stop saying out loud “ spider leg and daisy?, spider leg and daisy? WHY” ) and I never liked how he wasn’t the best father, but he did earn a little more respect when I found out he was just scared and didn’t know what he was doing, (I mean I’m only on night whispers so idk there could be a redemption part in the future books)
oh my god i am CRYING. i want to absolutely bawl over this you made Spiderleg into the most perfect sad little meowmeow babygirl i'm going to be ruminating over this for WEEKS /affection /positive
Spiderleg is definitely a interesting character it’s wonderful seeing a focused Map on him, I’m also glad to see people he does care about his kits/family from afar.
Wow, this is so beautiful. I remember when the storyboard had just came out and I knew this was going to be amazing. Everyone did so good and this really illustrates Spiderlegs point of view. He was a bad father and he was very much in the wrong for abandoning his mate and children and those actions are what ultimately led to dying alone. But, he is also a deeply sad character struggling with the grief of so much loss. Grief can destroy a person and Spiderleg is an example of that. I love this map so much it really shows Spiderleg in a different light than how he is shown in the books and also how he is talked about in the fandom. Again, absolutely amazing job to everyone involved in this map!
I admire how raw the emotions are in everyone’s animations. We need more time with these side characters understanding their motives. Everyone did a phenomenal job and with the choice in music it just touches the heart even more. I will hold this project gently.
A very depressing map in a way but its still manages to be absolutely beautiful and interesting anyway!! My sincerest comgratulations to rveryone who participated 🎉🎉❤❤
First off I gotta say, bravo to everyone who participated in this MAP. I can’t remember the last time a MAP made me teary eyed like this. All parts were beautifully drawn and well-animated. I love it when the fandom takes characters like this who don’t get a whole lot of screen time in the books and develop them by piecing together little tidbits of their backstories. This portrayal of Spiderleg kind of reminds me of Crowfeather, as he too became far too enveloped in his grief and sadness to the point where he disassociated himself from his family. But the difference between Spiderleg and Crowfeather is that Crowfeather eventually saw the error of his ways and was able to fix things before it was too late. As sad as it is, Spiderleg died before he was ever truly able to make things right. As unsatisfactory as that ending was for him, I find it to be a realistic conclusion. Not all stories like this have a clean-cut happy ending. Sometimes, we don’t always have the chance to finish what we started, and we don’t always have the opportunity or time to fix what we broke. Once again, absolutely beautiful MAP!
ive never had a map genuinely change my opinion on a character until now, this GUTTED me in the best way possible and i fear i have a new appreciation for spiderleg as a character
ME HEART AHHHHHHH 😭❤️🩹 (But in all seriousness I'm so happy to see the final product! Everything is just so beautifully and amazingly protrayed by everyone!)
I cried because of this: 0:56 I lost my only friend in the world to a car and I can't put into words how hard it hits you when you realise what just happened and what it means. This video as a whole, made me cry. A 25yr old man cried here today and I am not ashamed of it. Thank you for making this.
this is a beautiful map!! it really does convey the heartbreaking message of "numbing the pain for a while will make it worse when you finally feel it." poor spiderleg.
I’ve been waiting for this MAP to come out for so long and the end result ended up turning out beautiful. So many amazingly talented animators participated in the end product and just… wow… This MAP has had a special place in my heart for so long and it’s nice to see everybody’s parts bringing this project to life. I don’t often cry at MAPs but for this one I did. The original storyboard already made me emotional but in the final product I feel the emotions coming from every part. Great job to everyone involved!
This was both so beautifully animated by everyone and SO deeply heartbreaking. Halfway through I almost thought only one artist did all of this!! Holy Starclan everyone!!!! The effort to stay on point with the colors, character sheets and style is MINDBLOWING. Only Roseshards super cute bouncy kits one made me realize otherwise and that's because I saw their part previously. WOW guys. And thank you all for putting so much emotion into it That I cried 🥲🥲🥲
this made me on the verge of tears omg 😢 EDIT: i rewatched it and i was on the verge of tears AGAIN.. that says alot about how much emotion can be seen in this map
YOU MMHP MADE ME CRY, HOW DARE YOU MAKE ME CRY?! >:( /hj (In all seriousness, i forgot why spiderleg was my favorite and you've just reminded me WITH THE MOST SAD YET BEAUTIFUL MAP EVER, ty for this masterpiece, yall did wonderful! ^^)
This is amazing. I don’t remember much about Spiderleg, but I definitely need to reread and learn more about him. Makes you appreciate the background characters more with these types of maps. They aren’t just extras in FireStar’s journey, they’re real and have lives. Love, death, dreams, and so on. Just wow ❤️👏👏
The fact he only saw his son (toadstep) on his deathbed, you can see the regret he has when he relised he missed the time he could have had
STOP MAKING ME CRY
Being distant didn’t save him from the pain, it just robbed him to know his children
@@slavicandsapphic7446 all it did was stronger the pain.
Omg it’s dragoz

I actually never thought of him as a bad/ absent father❤️ I love Spiderleg so much he deserved so much more
BIRD SYMBOLISM cardinals were believed to carry messages from deceased loved ones/a sign that theyre still with you. this is HEARTBREAKING
My grandpa loved red as I do, and my family has been led to believe his sign is a cardinal. I didn’t know that, that made my day 🥺😊
i genuinely cried, i forgot how terrible spiderleg’s story is, i just remembered him as “haha funny long leg cat” 😭 all the animators did so well on this!!
SAME BRO😭😭😭
Him screaming "SHREWPAW" then Shewpaw died made in cry😭
Nooooo frrrr thooo
I kind of like the way the Erins handled his relationship with Daisy. Spiderleg even said it himself, "It just wasnt meant to be" and I kind of like the maturity of that. The relationship was one that they rushed into, and when it came down to it, it was clear that there was an emotional disconnect. Its a bittersweet sentiment, but an honestly very mature topic for Warrior cats
It just wasn't meant to be... Hits hard.
As one married for several years, and with experience feeling like its not meant to be, I actually find that phrase to be immature. There is no "meant to be", there is only working to make it work, and you always can as long as both are willing.

@buggybug09 yeah, it wasn't meant to 😔 It is bittersweet because they could've had a good relationship if things were different...
I love the whole depth to why he was absent and still shows he still cares, but does not want to go through the same pain he did with his siblings.
Even more tragic that despite wanting to avoid going through the pain of losing a loved one again, he still does in the end. But this time, it was over the loss chance of never getting to love them at all
Toadstep following him until he grew older made my heart shatter. He tried to get his father’s attention so much. Spiderleg and him coming down to watch daisy and Rosepetal was just so reassuring and heartbreaking at the same time❤️

Finally! Someone shows Spiderleg's other side! Not a bad father, but person, who had many losses in his life
Well, a cat
Well, he was a bad father, but he had a reason to be, I like this map portraying that :)
he can be both a bad father and a person with a lot of loss!
@@Felix-jo7nj Yup!
Spiderleg is so underrepresented in the fandom. I am so, SO, happy this map released. I felt so bad for him, even if he left Daisy. The way he felt when Toadestep died realized he missed some of the most important years of his life, all because his siblings and family all died around him.
The wilted flower at spiderleg’s grave to show Daisy keeps bringing him flowers is so cute
I like this interpretation of Spiderleg, it shows he is more then just a absent father. He wanted to be there, but couldn’t bring himself to be with his family because he is afraid of losing them like everyone else. When Toadstep dies though, i think he realized yes, cats may die but you shouldn’t let that stop you from being with them, making a relationship, you shouldn’t miss out on that. I like this map.

1:00 I could really see when he said “ShrewPaw” here. This map is awesome, SpiderLeg has been so underrated for too long.
My eyes got all wet when Spiderleg started crying over Toadstep's death :(((( This is SO well done, rare are the times I actually feel emotional watching warrior cats maps!
3:20 when he’s pawing at Toadstep broke me
This map absolutely broke my heart. The pacing was well done, it was so sad to see Spiderleg miss out on his kits life and only realizing when they were dying. I've been waiting for this map to come out since the call, and it never disappointed, everyone who worked on this, yall are incredible.

This was such a masterpiece from start to finish! Amazing job from everyone and thank you so much, Sadie and Rooke, for having me!
This M.A.P is amazing and such a unique take on SpiderLeg's character that I haven't seen in the fandom before!
he's such an underrated but real character. I love how he's portrayed in this, and I feel so bad for him. he was never a bad guy, just suffered so much. poor baby, I wish I could hug him! this was beautiful, and everyone did so good!

Absolutely agree! Background characters need more appreciation!
Never been more ready to cry my eyes out

this absolutely broke my heart and I'm crying over this. the animations, the music. This is a beautiful piece of art.
Spiderleg has always been loved by me and now I’m over here crying about him
Tbh this was the best ending in history!
I was really excited for this MAP and it's everything I could have hoped for! Amazing work!
wow. warrior cat animations has got me crying. thank you for hosting me in this map
This really goes to show how grief can change someone so fast that they dont understand what they missed.
This MAP is indescribably good. I can’t believe how well you were able to capture the story. The themes and message were perfect. Genuinely Heartbreaking, but amazing production 💔
wow. I don't comment on much, but this really struck me hard in a soft part of myself that doesn't often get hit.
Grief is soul destroying. It's awful, so awful there are no words for it. But this kind of grief, grief that just keeps coming and coming and tearing you apart from the inside and ruining things that could be good because you can't move on from all you've lost... god. It's such a uniquely wrecking experience and I don't know many people who understand it.
I'm too young to have lost all the people I have and this is beautiful. I feel seen and understood and represented. My grief has made me ugly and bitter and angry and so horrifically sad, but so had Spiderleg's in this video, and he's still loved by the few that matter, and even if he's being torn apart, this life is beautiful.
I've watched this three times now. god. it really spoke to me and made me feel more understood than I have in months. thank you guys. ❤
I did NOT need to have my heart be destroyed this morning
Me when I'm already depressed looking at some of the best maps out there.
This map really needs to be recognized more it really explains spiderleg’s story but it’s so sad it literally shattered my heart .
Everyone did amazing!!

SpiderLeg
Is honestly my fav❤
so many amazing maps have been released in the last 24 hours! 11-2-24 , 2:00 (just for time) on a side note, this map is one of the most emotion I’ve seen, especially of spiderleg.
For real
oh man, i am genuinely crying. this has to be my favorite project from this community to date, it's so wonderful!!
Man, I never really liked Spiderleg, but this allows me to see him in a whole new light. The animators did a phenomenal job. Beautiful MAP, so so beautiful.
I just can’t, I just can’t, why am I crying over a fictional MAP? Honestly it’s one of the only maps that will make me cry in the warriors fandom
This map is so breathtaking and emotional. It really sucks you in with the setting and the incredible character animation like there’s so much expressions you know exactly how they feel and it’s heartbreaking. It’s so cool to see another side of a character we usually don’t see in maps and it’s really changed my perception. Fantastic map!!! This is cinema!!!
I love this, but the outro with the credits had me sobbing every time
Possibly the first maps that made me feel such emotion
like 6 maps have come out since haloween and im all here for them
It turned out just so beautifully 😩❣, thank you for letting me participate way back when! Everyone did such an amazing job and the storyboard is just so amazing, definitely one for the books!
Me personally have never been all too big on maps, but this was absolutely spectacular, everyone involved did an amazing job!
I definitely see Spiderleg in a whole new light now, poor lad
This MAP just reached my heart 🩷. Some people hate Spiderleg for what he do in the books, but they don´t take care of him past ❤🩹
Yk I’ve never been the biggest spider leg fan (bro when I saw that daisy and spider leg had kids I literally couldn’t stop saying out loud “ spider leg and daisy?, spider leg and daisy? WHY” ) and I never liked how he wasn’t the best father, but he did earn a little more respect when I found out he was just scared and didn’t know what he was doing,
(I mean I’m only on night whispers so idk there could be a redemption part in the future books)
what a perfectly watership down epilogue
This map has me ugly sobbing, all the parts portrayed the emotions beautifully. Poor Spiderleg
I was so exited when I saw it was finally here! Great map! 😊
WHY DID YOU HAVE TO ANIMATE IT SO SADLY NOW IM ON THE FLOOR OF MY ROOM AT 2AM CRYING A BOWL OF TEARSSS
I honestly cried my eyes out. Thank you so much.
oh my god i am CRYING. i want to absolutely bawl over this
you made Spiderleg into the most perfect sad little meowmeow babygirl i'm going to be ruminating over this for WEEKS /affection /positive
Well this was deeply, deeply sad
Beautifully done, everyone 🫶
I’m high as hell bawling my eyes out over characters I haven’t read about in 10 years im gonna die
LMAOOO
these dang animators they know how to hit you where it hurts ugh. Great job this was really well done.
Spiderleg is definitely a interesting character it’s wonderful seeing a focused Map on him, I’m also glad to see people he does care about his kits/family from afar.
Wow, this is so beautiful. I remember when the storyboard had just came out and I knew this was going to be amazing. Everyone did so good and this really illustrates Spiderlegs point of view. He was a bad father and he was very much in the wrong for abandoning his mate and children and those actions are what ultimately led to dying alone. But, he is also a deeply sad character struggling with the grief of so much loss. Grief can destroy a person and Spiderleg is an example of that. I love this map so much it really shows Spiderleg in a different light than how he is shown in the books and also how he is talked about in the fandom. Again, absolutely amazing job to everyone involved in this map!
How dare you make me care about Spiderleg
This MAP is incredible, I love it!
I admire how raw the emotions are in everyone’s animations. We need more time with these side characters understanding their motives. Everyone did a phenomenal job and with the choice in music it just touches the heart even more. I will hold this project gently.
everyone did so amazing I’m crying I really wish the books focused on him more
Alright This is actually one of the first maps that has successfully destroyed my soul. Thank you spiderleg, you’ve killed my heart.
A very depressing map in a way but its still manages to be absolutely beautiful and interesting anyway!! My sincerest comgratulations to rveryone who participated 🎉🎉❤❤
First off I gotta say, bravo to everyone who participated in this MAP. I can’t remember the last time a MAP made me teary eyed like this. All parts were beautifully drawn and well-animated.
I love it when the fandom takes characters like this who don’t get a whole lot of screen time in the books and develop them by piecing together little tidbits of their backstories.
This portrayal of Spiderleg kind of reminds me of Crowfeather, as he too became far too enveloped in his grief and sadness to the point where he disassociated himself from his family. But the difference between Spiderleg and Crowfeather is that Crowfeather eventually saw the error of his ways and was able to fix things before it was too late.
As sad as it is, Spiderleg died before he was ever truly able to make things right. As unsatisfactory as that ending was for him, I find it to be a realistic conclusion. Not all stories like this have a clean-cut happy ending. Sometimes, we don’t always have the chance to finish what we started, and we don’t always have the opportunity or time to fix what we broke.
Once again, absolutely beautiful MAP!
Couldn’t even smile to this! Started sobbing IMMEDIATELY! Clean up isle my face and pillow! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤😂😂😂
This is a great map! I wish that we could’ve seen the development of his character like this through the books
Oh this one messed me up big time 😭 really got me at the credits
ive never had a map genuinely change my opinion on a character until now, this GUTTED me in the best way possible and i fear i have a new appreciation for spiderleg as a character
It’s here! It’s finally here!!!
I think this map will become popular because it is BEAUTIFUL!!A MASTERPIECE!
I love the fact warrior cat MAPs are still being made
I love how you displayed his grief holding him back from spending his life with cats he loved! /gen
Toadstep looks so cute and squishable 🖤🤍
ME HEART AHHHHHHH 😭❤️🩹
(But in all seriousness I'm so happy to see the final product! Everything is just so beautifully and amazingly protrayed by everyone!)
The saddest vid I've watch today.....could not stand too hold my tears. The animation is perfect..
I cried because of this: 0:56 I lost my only friend in the world to a car and I can't put into words how hard it hits you when you realise what just happened and what it means. This video as a whole, made me cry. A 25yr old man cried here today and I am not ashamed of it. Thank you for making this.
this is a beautiful map!! it really does convey the heartbreaking message of "numbing the pain for a while will make it worse when you finally feel it." poor spiderleg.
I’ve been waiting for this MAP to come out for so long and the end result ended up turning out beautiful. So many amazingly talented animators participated in the end product and just… wow… This MAP has had a special place in my heart for so long and it’s nice to see everybody’s parts bringing this project to life. I don’t often cry at MAPs but for this one I did. The original storyboard already made me emotional but in the final product I feel the emotions coming from every part. Great job to everyone involved!
A spiderleg map this has to be a dream
Amazing!! I almost cried 🥹✨👍
This was both so beautifully animated by everyone and SO deeply heartbreaking. Halfway through I almost thought only one artist did all of this!! Holy Starclan everyone!!!! The effort to stay on point with the colors, character sheets and style is MINDBLOWING. Only Roseshards super cute bouncy kits one made me realize otherwise and that's because I saw their part previously. WOW guys. And thank you all for putting so much emotion into it That I cried 🥲🥲🥲
How did you make me cry over *SPIDERLEG*!????
this made me on the verge of tears omg 😢
EDIT: i rewatched it and i was on the verge of tears AGAIN.. that says alot about how much emotion can be seen in this map
I’m not usually one to tear up but this had be sobbing. Beautifully done and gave me a new appreciation for Spiderleg
YOU MMHP MADE ME CRY, HOW DARE YOU MAKE ME CRY?! >:( /hj
(In all seriousness, i forgot why spiderleg was my favorite and you've just reminded me WITH THE MOST SAD YET BEAUTIFUL MAP EVER, ty for this masterpiece, yall did wonderful! ^^)
I never thought about this perspective of Spiderleg, my heart is BREAKING this is such a beautiful and sad project
This is generally depressing, beautiful. Five stars.
Guys.. I never cry to any maps.. but this one made me cry. It’s changed my perspective of spiderleg and well done to all these talented animators!! 🧀
This is amazing. I don’t remember much about Spiderleg, but I definitely need to reread and learn more about him. Makes you appreciate the background characters more with these types of maps. They aren’t just extras in FireStar’s journey, they’re real and have lives. Love, death, dreams, and so on. Just wow ❤️👏👏
