Give Us a Little Love [COMPLETE Dark Forest Weekend MAP]
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 ноя 2024
- Give Us a Little Love is complete! This was a weekend MAP I highly suspected wouldn't complete within the deadline, but I love a challenge. These weekend maps can be fun little challenges both for artists and for me as a host, and I have so much fun trying to push myself to see what I can do, even if I'm not sure I can. I've done one 72 hour map before with 42 parts, and it went over deadline a little bit but not too much, so i was still pretty confident I could get it done, and I did, even if it took a wee bit extra time than usual! I'm so proud of this one, because of the inspiration and passion I saw not only from artists working on this map, but people inspired BY it to make their own Dark Forest cat backstories or adapt these! I love seeing inthe murder party parts all the different people whos ocs make cameos in their parts haha.
First, HUGE thank you to Owlipoppen for putting together the credits sequence and to Ghobsmacka for conceptualizing and storyboarding it- this is easily hands down the BEST credits sequence of ANY MAP I've hosted. It looks amazing!

Please read the description before commenting! If you want to know more about the characters in this map, who they are, what's going on in their stories, there is a link to the script in the description! Thank you!
oof i never read this
Lol I watched so many freaking times but I am literally writing character sheets
Lol only 2 peeps commented on here
nOoO it was four peeps
You mean snap tooth the one pushing cats off the cliff?
I really like Houndleap's backstory, he's both crazy and sensible. "Oh, so those are the bad guys? They did challenge the clan. So I'll just get rid of them so you." Just a heartless man that doesn't seem to realize that murder is bad.
Yeah, i like to think he thought he was doing the right thing.
too loyal
When your to loyal ya get yeeted to the dark fored
Edit: bye what was I thinking commenting this
I think you're right. He did it because in his logical cold mind, it made sense to defeat the bad guys. Like most sociopaths, it didn't cross his mind that he was killing these cats with lives, families, and personalities. He was just doing his job.
Where do you get his backstory? Cause i didnt find eanything on the wikis.
Also from almost every other cat. Like Snowtuft, Maggottail etc.
I know they are all in the dark forest but i dont know why.
little maggotkit saying "cant you see I'm trying" really got me ;-;
August Groundchele aW w w
Maggottail so cute, damn clanmates
Actually, Maggottail was actually named Dashkit. His tail was bit by a fox and was covered in maggots, so he wanted the name maggottail.
@@idrovepastyourhouse-9385 i know this, but about kills, Lilystar (or who is this) in original story is not telling,, and about snowtuft, in canon we know only his name and scar...

Fun fact: SilverHawk was originally someones oc, but Kate liked their story and added them into the books after the person who had Silverhawk as an oc helped her make her website.
Can u please give the source of this?
@@gitkvint Yes
Kudos for the Blogclan guy who got the chance to get his oc in Warriors
Oh, wow.
Maggottail’s part made me go onto the verge of tears 😭 it was so SAD at the beginning! I'm specifically talking about Starvedgoat’s part. It was heartbreaking to watch and honestly it was put into an animal situation where “mommy doesn’t want baby because baby is messed up” and it makes me really sad :(((
Starvedgoats part PERFECTLY encapsulated how sad and weird he is. I really wanted his story to be a bit like Mapleshade's in that he isn't the only bad person- the cruelty of those around him drove him to villainy, and like mapleshade it's a tragedy that he ended up there
@@Draikinator you definitely did that right! loved the map!
gee reminds me of another mother in warriors *cough* rainflower *cough*
Well someone just made Maggottail popular.
4:38 why am I so satisfied by this animation? I promise I am not psychotic. I think. It's probably because the animation is so smooth.
Please tell me if I you are also satisfied
Sorry! I meant to post this not as a reply, but I accidentally clicked reply and didn't notice until I had already posted it. I'm sorry
@@cobaltblue2929 Wow XD
@@cobaltblue2929 I got satisfied too, the animation is really good
Order:
Houndleap
Snowtuft
Rushtooth
Silverhawk
Shredtail
Sparrowfeather
Maggottail
(Just for the people that need it❤️)
tanks :>
Now I know all the names od this cats thanks❤️
Thx i didnt know half of them
Thanks! But when was it said that Snowtuft poisoned cats as an apprentice/kit? Surely he would have been banished and wouldn't have become Snowtuft.
😀😀
why are they evil?
no body loved them.
So if it werent for everyones cruelty, they would be good
But what about Silverhawk?
From what I can tell, only Snowtuft and Maggottail suffered from lack of love. Everyone else was just crazy.
Nobody would like the series if
THEY WERE ALL GOOD. My favorite cat is hawkfrost
*comes out of hole* Yes it's done and ready and-
...27 minutes
*crawls back into hole*
Grreat i just screamed lmbo
Skyler's Animations now that I've watched it so worth it tho
Also uh- that's Alot of likes
Nova Born I made this 370
916 Arean and I made your comment 1, thank you nice person
Just gonna say! 666 like o.o
Aight lemme make a MAP about Maggottail real quick oooof
Lol
l e t . m e . i n
ok but like the fact snowtuft's mentor gave him the scar Rly Hurts cuz its like, medicine cats are meant to do everything but use their knowledge to harm cats so snowtuft doing that must have destroyed his mentor's trust like no other to give him SUCH A BRUTAL WOUND, OOF this is canon, shredtail who?
no this is fankn, it’s an au-
“Hey whatcha doing?”
**looks at screen and sees cats killing each other**
I can explain.
Toaster Wave no.
No we can’t
XD
Well I can't explain
I really can't.... Mysis was worried.
Well....kinda um er actually no.....heheh
I literally had to explain why Maggottail killed like 14 cats in 10 seconds;-;
“Premieres in 17 hours” LET ME IN DANMIT
Weird_furry_gamer :} and then there's me who came at *premieres in 14 minutes* lol
Weird_furry_gamer :} lemme in, lemme INNNN
Let me iiiiiiiinnnnn
*finally gets in* YEEEEEEES!!!!
LET ME INNNNNNNNNNNN
I would’ve apprenticed Maggottail, if I was a warrior
He so cute
Ikr? i would too!
Sophie Mcnair, yes. Just, yes.
I agree in the animation but most people won’t find a diseased looking cat with fur falling off of it that looks like it has mange, cute. I’m sure someone would take care of a cat that’d look’d like that in real life but honestly most people would automatically think it was diseased and a sickly looking cat isn’t cute.
Labradorpuppy 9 In an animation I agree but would you want a cat with mange?
So would I. I would be his friend
I feel so sorry for Maggottail. He could've had better life if others noticed him and have been nice to him!
Yeah ;-;
I have no idea what makes me love Snowtuft, but I have the uncontrollable urge to hug and protect him
Dat Wither holy crap same he's my baby boi
Ikr
Dat Wither he is ze childs!
Speach
Kendall MacLeod I can’t find his story anywhere
2:43 omg i cant stop laughing those two cats were like "dude wt-"
*I have found you here*
Lol I love this song :")
That's not the best part one just give Silverhawk a blank stare with his chubby,fluffy belly.
Now that's all I see
I like how the first two parts of the Silverhawk parts give Silverhawk NO EMOTION.
i felt so bad for maggottail though, i want to drag him out of the dark forest and give him never ending love.
GIVE HIM TO ME DAMNIT.
*Yeets Maggottail to you* there you go :3
Murdering the cats that were mean to him makes him the opposite of precious.
AyBayCayDayEayFayGay i mean, wouldn’t you do it aswell if you had a fucking weapon in your arms and mouth.
@@karnohell so you would murder people that were mean to you if you had a weapon as your possession? huh..
@@ethanexehascrashed
Considering the fact he was practically neglected by everyone in his clan
Yeah it’s not justified that he killed people
But the others aren’t justified for ignoring and neglecting him because of his appearance
Everyone’s talking about Maggottail BUT CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW AMAZING THEFIREYFENEC’S ANIMATION IS AT 3:23 !??!?! I’M IN LOVE WITH IT
Especially how they really took the “soaked in blood like he’s been wading in it” description and delivered on that ten fold!
The was honestly the best part from this map
I’m so glad you made this map, Nate. I’ve loved all the background Dark Forest cats since I first started reading and I was always so disappointed in the lack of love they got in the fandom. I can’t thank you enough for having me along for this, it meant the world to me to finally be in a project involving some of my favorite characters. Everyone did so good and it turned out amazing!
GlitchedTree mAGGOTTAIL IS DA BEST and thxxxx
How in the world do i find backstorys...i wanna know what happened but dunno where to find them
Kirey M in the description you can find the original script which goes over all the characters stories made by Draikinator.
@@GlitchedTree ah ok thanks
Maggottail is a good character ya'll just don't know where he came from.
1-800-HABITORRABBIT no, I do not, please tell me where. I need to know
I remember watching this before I truly knew what warrior cats was and still loved it, today now reading all the books, I understand all of the characters and it makes me love this even more.
The first book i ever read was Ravenpaws path, and i instantly fell in love with them. Then i began buying more books and watching maps and pmvs, etc. The first map i watched, i honestly cant remember, but I know that most of these maps and pmvs are very understanding and make warrior cats even more fun!
Same
Same
why do i love maggottail now, I SWEAR STARVEDGOATS PART MADE MY HEART BREAK INTO TINY SHARDS
ALSO THIS IS ALL MY HEADCANNON OKAY
Espøir same
Like if maggottail deserved better. Edit:and yes I liked my own comment the poor little boy
Edit two: now little maggotail is the most popular cat in the forest, not even Jayfeather comes close
Edit three : jaybae and maggotail are are both popular
Pro boy he just wanted a friend
All those cats just care about looks
Ikr. But it just reflects the fact they’re animals. Animals don’t like differences and disabilities.
Is the last cat part dog or something like what is his story? I loved the creativity of all the artists.👍
@@drawingstuff4959
He's Maggottail, one of the oldest leaders of the Dark Forest. He has something wrong with him, I think, which causes patches of his fur never to grow, or the fur to fall out.
Imma be at school when it comes out am sad
SAME!!!!
The way "you're dead and out of this world" matches up with the credits is freaking incredible
edit: typo smh
I like to think right before Maggottail lands on Lilystar he's thrown to the side by Fallowfire (A.K.A. Fallowkit, A.K.A. Driftkit's sister, A.K.A. the sister of the first apprentice Maggotpaw killed in this MAP) and she pins him against a tree, saving Lilystar and ripping his throat out.
EDIT: Also how much y'all wanna bet those twolegs named the cat "Hound" and the dog "Cat"? New headcanon
Kid, I swear, if you push
one more cat into that
river...
(Me at Rushtooth’s part)
W h e e z e
‘Premieres in 14 hours’
Edit:
I l i t e r a l l y have no words to express how good that was.
All the part were STUNNING and imaginative, and the stories flowed PERFECTLY.
God Nate, you’ve outdone yourself with the scripting of this.
AND EVERYONE has outdone done themselves with each and every part.
Best map I’ve seen all year hands down.

xietymind ;0 No problem! :)
My versions of each backstory (heavily referenced from this very map!)
Houndleap: Formerly a barn cat, Very used to being around sheep, hence the dog being what appears to be a border collie. One day, He saw a patrol. These cats intrigued him and he talked with them about his life as a barn cat, living to make sure mice don't eat the sheep's food. Of course, He tells them about the dog at his barn and how it would chase him, but he would always outrun it. The cats think he has the strength of a warrior, So they give him the option to join him. The next day, He joins windclan, The closest clan to his barn and the ones who sent out the patrol. He takes off his collar, buries it, and stays in the clan for around a year. He is named Houndleap because he always outran the sheepdog. Later, Windclan and Shadowclan argue about their borders, With Shadowclan, As usual, Nudging the borders a little bit. Houndleap grows to resent shadowclan, and in his mind, A plan is brewing to kill them all off. In the next moon or so, He digs up his collar and goes back to his barn. He wakes up the dog and Houndleap leads him to shadowclan, Where he kills off around a third of shadowclan, including their leader. While doing this, however, The dog manages to get him while he gloats over his victory.
Snowtuft:
Snowkit was born deaf, And could never be a warrior. At first, He loved the idea of being a medicine cat, But soon he grew jealous of the warrior apprentices. He gets SO jealous in fact, That snowpaw ends up poisoning all the warrior apprentices whoever they would come into the den. Snowpaw always claimed that they got an infection or that it was an accident. As a full medicine cat, Snowtuft moved on from petty jealousy and moved on to poisoning every single thunderclan cat, Even his own mentor, Because he has become addicted to it. Soon, his apprentice finds out, and the apprentice gives him the scar we all know and love. But before snowtuft died, He ate some deathberries along with feeding them to his apprentice, resulting in a murder-suicide.
Rushtooth:
When rushkit was born to Graywhisker, She had a sister named Silverkit, who graywhisker cared for a lot more than rushkit, because rushkit was born with abnormally long canine teeth, which scared graywhisker. Rushkit always scared off other kits, and the apprentices would mock her, Calling her names and picking on her. Silverkit and Graywhisker never seemed to help. Later, Silverkit and Rushkit become Silverstripe and Rushtooth. Rushtooth goes on a patrol with graywhisker, And as she admires how clear the water is, Rushtooth shoves her in the water as revenge for never standing up for her when the older apprentices bullied her. She goes to camp and claims that she didn't do it, And rushtooth loves the attention she never got. Rushtooth later kills each apprentice who bullied her, And the clan begins to suspect that rushtooth is killing all of the cats, as they always seem to die on patrols with rushtooth and nobody else, Silverstripe being the main sceptic. On a patrol with silverstripe, Rushtooth makes her final kill, Where she attempts to shove silverstripe off of a cliff, But silverstripe has quick reflexes, And pulls rushtooth down, killing rushtooth with her.
Silverhawk:
Silverhawk always had a thing for she-cats, And he has two he is attracted to. One's name is Whitetuft, A she-cat from thunderclan, And Ravenshade, A she-cat from shadowclan. He loves ravenshade more, Despite seemingly being loyal to whitetuft. Whitetuft later catches a glimpse of Silverhawk talking to ravenshade about his plans to Leave thunderclan to be with Ravenshade, Who is expecting silverhawk's kits. Whitetuft goes to the entrance of Shadowclan camp, Where she scolds silverhawk and accuses him of cheating. Silverhawk kills her, To avoid the beans being spilled. Ravenshade wittnesses all of this and tells her leader, Who exiles silverhawk, who becomes a rouge known around twolegplace to seduce and impregnate kittypets (no he does not rape them, He just seduces them) And he takes a liking to those who look like Ravenshade. Later, Silverhawk is killed by a thunderclan patrol when he tries to rejoin the clans.
Shredtail:

i love all the cats in the map.

I’M REALLY SICK RN AND SEEING THIS IN MY FEED MADE ME FORGET ALL OF MY SUFFERING
I’m surprised at how many blue eyed characters are antagonists, especially considering how blue eyes are uncommon with cats. Imma be wary of any blue eyed cats in the series.
(cough cough) y'don't needa worry about Jayfeather Ivypool and others than xD
Snowfur and bluestar had blue eyes, their not antagonists 😻❤️
Scourge, hawkfrost, ashfur yes there are a lot
I don’t know most of the characters, but I love this map and the song, Good job!
3:37 Oh look It's the cat that got poisoned at 1:29
I wonder how they survived
U right
How the cat that got poisoned survived?
The RadioStar lol
Top ten questions science still can't answer...
Draikinator probably got lazy with the designs 🤷♀️
☀️SunlitWaters☀️ *draikinator only made the designs for the main characters and some of the ones that were killed*
I lokey feel bad for Houndleap all he wanted was to make his clan proud, but maybe in the wrong way. He may be heartless and kinda crazy but he didn't know that murder is bad. Also love this map
I just finished watching! So great! Aww now I love Maggottail
Dark Forest cats: *GIVE US A LITTLE LOVE*
Fandom: *no*
This is late
I have a theory about Snowtuft, and no it isn't the Snowkit one. In a dangerous path it was said that there was once a white kit with blue eyes that was also deaf and one day they vanished, everyone thought that a fox had killed it but perhaps Brokenstar sent a cat on a raiding party like what happened with Cinder/Bracken/Bright/WhoeverItWas. Their deafness would have been cured when they died, so it is likely that Snowtuft is the white kit mentioned.
That deaf kit got killed by a hawk didnt he
@@Ccrispay Snowkit got killed by a hawk. But when they first diagnose Snowkit with being deaf Speckletail says something about a different white kit who was deaf and randomly vanished from camp
Snowtuft himself said he was in the Dark Forest for so long he doesn't even remembers what was his crime, and the kit you are talking about i am sure is one of Dappletail's kits, and when her kit dissapeared is never said they had a raid
@@SpottertheOtterfox True, but nobody knows what exactly happened to it, and the four kits that Clawface kitnapped would have vanished without a trace if it weren't for Spottedleaf and Yellowfang. Although the first point is pretty solid that it isn't them, but it would be decently interesting
I hate to rain on your parade, but it’s been proven snowtuft was shadowclan.
My theory for dappletails kit mentioned is that is was in a litter that all died- a litter she perhaps had with stormtail? It was implied dapple and him were romantically involved after moonflower died.
Me: * sees the title *
Also me: * thinks of Mapleshade ASAP *
Ikr
*- R a i n -* Yeah Same...
I literally dropped everything during a college fair convention to watch this XD
Another gorgeous map with a great script!! I always love your maps drakinator! Can’t wait for the next one
villains aren't born...
They are created.
AHH I MISSED THE PREMIERE BC OF SCHOOL BUT AHH THIS TURNED OUT AMAZING!!! its hard to believe that these were all made in less than 3 days and its really cool to see what these different people can push themselves to do!!! the credits were also unique and fit so well! tysm for letting me participate!!!!
i LOVE how the ending matches up perfectly and the lyrics kinda relate to each characters story
Oh my god this is so well developed and gorgeous!! The fighting scenes! And that one turning scene, my GOD!
MapleShade Kits:Mama, you are not here ;w;...
Mapleshade: Fricking bastards! I'm definetly going to slay their throats...
Hi hi so ummm,,, I don't support drakinator anymore dw so don't ask if I still support them
So true mapleshade's kits: hey mom you are not in this *shows map*
Mapleshade : wat?!??!?
Ok Mapleshade is the bomb but Tigerstar? Heccs no, satan of cats
Chill bro, Tigerstar’s the best character in the books.
Lol
You guys do realize the creator took cats we don’t know anything about and created random backstories for them, right? 😂
Whoa, this was a really cool idea! I like that you were exploring side characters, especially the dark forest character because they ended up there somehow!! Great job everyone!
4:38 could watch for ever! 😭😍
give us a little gore, give us a little gore..
gIVE US A LOTTA GORE!!!11!!!1
Thank you so much for letting me join!! The completed MAP looks so good and I’m happy to be along side these other talented animators! ❤️
AWE RIGHT BACK AT YA
dlsakhglas Thank you Marsclaws!!
I'm honestly woke at how you get these maps done so damn fast...
I thought the first cat was scourge Lmao DONT BLAME ME
Me too 😂
me to XD but I realized yellow eyes so I was like *oh nvm*
Same lol
Truuu, but Scourge doesn't believe in StarClan, so he didn't go to the darkforest
It's ok they look so similar i thought the third cat was hawkfrost
Can we just take the time to appreciate that Draik made up all of these backstories and the detail and heartbreak that went into them?
As soon as it started singing my head phones were like nope
Song:sings
Headphones:imma end this mans whole career
Headphones: please recharge headset
Me: REALLY?
Maggottail & Snowtuft are my underrated babs
I love them so much!!
Houndleap: doesn't have collar
Shadowclan: who are you? a platypus?
Houndleap puts on collar*
Shadowclan: PERRY THE PLATYPUS
I love this! Sparrowfeather’s backstory is my favourite!
Okay so I was at Shredtail's script, ya know, just re-reading them as I usually do. And the part where it says he was starving and mad, I had a really random thought. What if after he went on his killing spree, he started eating the dead cats? Like, it would make a little sense, and make him much more original. It would also explain why he looked like he had been rolling in blood. I don't know, it was just an idea to add to yours. Not dissing yours tho drake, you always have the best ideas!!
Ooooh
I love that idea!
1:59 "it's another time, it's another day, numbers they are new, but it's all the same, runnin' from yourself it'll never change...... if you try you could die" fire SO well with this! Rushtooth is doing the same thing as before, yet it's another day, running from who she really is, an outcast. She could never change her ways and she tried.... and she died......
I love this MAP because it focuses of the less popular Dark Forest cats. For years I've always been fascinated with the dead cats in the series - both StarClan and Dark Forest - who don't have a lot of canon info. Cause it leaves a lot of room for interesting theories and headcanons. But I wonder what their lives were like, what their role was, what the bad ones did to end up in the dark forest, etc.
Is that weird? I'm I the only one who's focused on that? 😂
4:14
HOW CAN SOMEONE NOT LOVE MAGGOTTAIL????? HE'S ADORABLE AND SO HOPEFUL!!!!
Did anyone else realize drakinators OC nightfire was here?

Love the design! Super cute!!!
YESS excited for this! thank you for hosting all these amazing maps that get to be finished quickly yet still look beautiful, as i’m sure this one will look stunning!!
ssugarpawss omfg thank u !
fiaijfjwhr I loved your part! especially the part where his eye moves and right after with his eyebrow too :00
ssugarpawss chungus eyebrows !
Story Wise, here's my opinion of each Dark Forest cat from worst to best;
7. "Silverhawk."
There just isn't a lot to go off on. All we know about Silverhawk (In Draik's AU for these cats, whatever it may be) is that he's in two relationships in one Clan and decided to kill his wife because she was going to tell the other she-cat that she's part of an affair.
6. "Snowtuft."
Snowtuft's concept is very intriguing! An Evil Medicine Cat? Heck yeah! Except again, like Silverhawk, we have very little to work with. Snowtuft is a Medicine Cat and he's angry with other Apprentices for some reason, so he just decides to poison everyone before being killed by his mentor. You know, it actually sounds something like the Erins themselves would write just to piss everyone off.
5. "Rushtooth."
Rushtooth is a Riverclan Serial Killer who takes advantage of her Clan's territory and drowns her victims after luring them out and away from Camp until they were both alone. Again, there's a lack of actual story and since otherwise had not been specified, it doesn't make sense that Riverclan Warriors wouldn't know what to do if they were actually put in that position.
4. "Sparrowfeather."
Finally, story. From what we can interpret, Sparrowfeather's part is a nice homage to Tallstar's Revenge with the Tunnelers being oppressed by the Moor Runners and Sparrowfeather, who for duality's sake I'm going to assume is Windclan Deputy, plots against her Leader and rallies up the Tunnelers for a rebellion. Also a nice nod to Mudclaw and Onestar! Everything's self explanatory after that, they have a fight and Sparrowfeather takes it too far. Solid work.
3. "Maggottail."
What?! How dare you put Maggottail at some place that isn't #1! Well hear me out, hear me out! I find his story is, while a lovely concept, weak. Pun 100% intended. Maggottail was born heavily defected, seemingly with mange, very little muscle mass and strange deformities. His mama clearly did not love him, it seems. Shadowclan's Leader (At least I assume this is Shadowclan) is reluctant to name Maggotkit an Apprentice, upsetting the tom who storms off in a dazed rage. This is where the story falls apart for me; Maggotkit just decides to attack and murder a bunch of other Apprentices before asking Shadowclan's Leader again. He gets the bright idea of attacking her and we can assume how it ends. Nonetheless, enjoyable.
2. "Shredtail."
Despite the fact that I love, love, LOVE Shredtail's part, I'm not going to gift him the Number 1 Spot. However, that doesn't mean I thoroughly enjoyed the connection between Warriors Canon after Redstar sends Skyclan into exile, with one particularly angry Warrior quickly separating his tie with Skyclan and seeking refuge in the Twolegplace as a stray. It just so happened that the Twolegplace he lived in was right next to the land of the Leader who had driven his Clan out and forced Shredtail to scrounge for food like a filthy vagabond.
Despite how suicidal it seemed to charge right into Thunderclan Territory and take his anger out, Shredtail fell into obsession and began silently attacking random Thunderclan Warriors, working his way up from Younger to Seniors, Deputy and finally, to Leader. The last part with a bloodstained Shredtail and Redstar charging at each other as the sun sets over the beautiful plains in the background was stunning and the story of the Exiled Warrior lingered in the memories of the Clans, a frightening story for the Elders of Thunderclan to tell the terrified young kits for the Seasons to come.
1. "Houndleap."
As well as being beautifully animated, Houndleap's story is well thought out. A kittypet, possibly before the time of a positive opinion of kittypets being taboo, named Hound longs for a better life outside of the confinements of his Housefolk Den. Leaving behind his old friend, who for comedy sake I shall name "Stray", Hound searches for purpose in the wilderness and stumbles across the Clan Cats. After a short test of patience from hostile Warriors, Hound tears off his collar almost effortlessly, his blunt, subtle statement impressing the Warriors of, who I'll guess are, Thunderclan.
Hound leads the nice, normal life of an ordinary Thunderclan Warrior, adopting the name Houndleap after Apprenticeship, except since a violent border dispute or denial of access to Shadowclan in a scene of emergency, he was often seen glaring silently over at the Shadowclan Border, flexing his claws in and out. Out of misguided loyalty to his Clan, Houndleap backtracks to his old Twoleg Den and discovers Stray wandering out of the house at night. The scent of Warrior and his rugged appearance send Stray into an excited yet blind rage and pursues Houndleap back to the Clans, towards Shadowclan Camp. So full of belief that he had done the right thing and defeated the bad guys, Houndleap trots smugly back towards Thunderclan, unaware of a thick shadow slowly looming over him and growing larger after every passing second..
Houndleap was in WindClan, as evidenced by the openness of the territory of the Clan he joins. ThunderClan have a forested territory.
My theory about Rushtooth was that she thrived off the attention she received from "witnessing" the horrific death, as she returns to camp crying and secretly smile as her clanmates comfort her. I would also point out that even the best swimmers probably wouldn't know what to do if a stronger person were holding them underwater. Knowing how to swim doesn't make you immune from being held underwater by a stronger person.
Snowtuft's motivations, I believe, were simply sadism. Sometimes people hurt people simply for the joy of it, not for any logical reason.
Your analysis is basically what I thought about Maggottail, too. In my opinion, he deserved to die and go to the dark forest. He was a terrible cat.
The other cats minded their business, so he killed them? Stupid. And then thought he would be rewarded. I don't get why so many people pity him.
I love his story so much. I just think he deserved the consequences of his actions instead of to be treated like the victim of this situation like other people say. He caused TONS more pain than he received.
@@yeetbeaver6162 maggottail thought the shadowclan leader would make him a apprentice out of need if he killed all the other apprentices. not justifying his actions, but just saying there was a reason
@@spacekat2460 Oh, makes sense when you put it that way! Thanks! Looking back, when I wrote that I had just been frustrated seeing so many people in the comments treating him as if he was an innocent baby. I very much exaggerated how I felt in the replied-to comment. I do love Maggottail's story, very much, and I appreciate your addition.
Omg, it's finally here!! I've been replaying the playlist over and over again because I'm in love with this MAP! This is awesome ❤❤❤
I keep rewatching this why can I stop
Omg sorry can’t lol
Not joking, this is my fav map. It was an amazing idea, the designs are awesome, and the animation. Gosh, I can’t even. ITS AMAZING!! It flows together so well. The coloring and smoothness are wonderful and its so crisp. Wonderful job everyone! Love every style!
And for being a weekend map, it looks like a stinkin month map. It would take me months to do all that.
This is such a beautiful MAP :,>
Well-thought out and just gorgeous
YES I THOUGHT IT WOULD TAKE SO MUCH LONGER YES YES YES
This looks so good all put together!!! Nice job getting another big MAP together so quickly, Nate! I can’t imagine it’s easy keeping in contact with so many artists. Super proud to be a part of this!
Oh my god these all have such unique backstories I love them! I think my favorite one was the Skyclan cat that sought revenge on the other clans for driving their family out.
2 Devious ayyyyyyye my parts in that sectjon ! :0
@@xietymind0793 You did fantastic ^_^
This map helped me make cool dark forest cats!
Here's the best one:
Thornheart lost her litter in a kitting gone wrong, she was struck with unbearable grief, she had been waiting for kits her whole life. Luckily, next new-leaf, she discovered that she was expecting a new litter, she was overjoyed, and couldn't wait, there were many kit's already in the nursery and plenty on the way, and she was happy that her kits would have plenty of friends to play with. That is until she overheard the medicine cat Littlelight telling the clan leader, Sugarstar, about a prophecy. *Three, the kits of Skyclan, would bring hope and light, in the darkest of times*. Her grief of her first litter powering her ambition for her kits to be special, she made a choice, f her kits were not the chosen ones, then no kits would be. She would always volunteer to care for kits while the queens went out for a walk, or to go hunting. then when no cat was watching she would kill the kits, swiftly, and clean herself of the blood. When the queens returned, they were shocked, and asked what happened, Thornheart always made excuses, "It was a fox, i tried to save them, but I'm just not agile enough, with my kits so close to being born," was one of the excuses she used, and every cat believed her. When her kits were born one of them had a kink in it's tail, another was missing half of its right front leg, the other was a bobtail. She loved them none the less, but continued her scheme, even when they watched. On one particular night, a queen named Greyfoot left her two-moon-old kits with her, and Thornheart again killed them. but by this time, young Littlekit, the only tom in her litter had grown strong enough, and brave enough to do something. He leaped and grasped hard on her throat with his teeth. Lilykit, the one with deformed leg, grabbed his back foot, which was dangling above her, and pulled hard, yelling for him to let go or she might kill him too,blood spurted over the two kits as they tore out her throat, Lilykit stared in horror as her mother struggled for breath and fell to the ground, her eyes glazing over. Just after that Greyfoot walked into the nursery and gasped in shock.
"Lilykit! Littlekit! What have you done you Beasts!" She yowled, "You've killed my kits and your own mother! How could you do such a thing!"
"I didn't kill your kits!" Littlekit mewed, "My mother did! I killed her because of it! And she has killed a lot more kits than just yours!"
"Is this true?" Greyfoot asked the to she-kits.
They both nodded
I'll add more if people like this :)
@Emily Reuter Erlandsson Thanks!
Greyfoot brought the two kits to Sugarstar's den. As they entered the den Sugarstar's apprentice, Amberpaw left the den.
"Hello Geyfoot is something wro- What happened!?" She sat there mouth wide, " What happened to these kits?"
"It's not what happened to them, it's what happened to mine" Greyfoot spoke, her voice sharp with pain.
"What happened?"
"They were killed... and these two killed their mother, and I think they killed my kits as well."
"We didn't I swear!" Tinykit mewed, "Yes I killed my mother! But only because she has killed every kit in the nursery except us!"
"It's true!" Lilykit mewled.
"Well what should I do about this then?" Sugarstar asked calmly, "Should I tell your clanmates that you killed your mother, or that she was a murderer, or should I tell them everything"
"Please don't tell them anything!" He cried, "I'd rather be a suspected murderer than the son of one! Or worse, a confirmed murderer!"
"Alright then," Amberstar mewed, "Now clean yourselves up, you can't keep that blood on you."
If you want more just say so :D
@Emily Reuter Erlandsson I have given more :D
@Emily Reuter ErlandssonGot it!
The two of them licked themselves clean and headed back to the nursery to help move the bodies into the clearing, seeing as they were partially responsible. Each of them picked up one of the kits, and laid them in the clearing, they laid their mother's body as well, not to honor her, but to keep the secret. They sat vigil for their clanmates that night, but he and his siblings sat only for the kits, and made it clear to StarClan by sitting on the side of the kits that was farthest from their mother.
~~2 months later~~
"Is he there?" a small she-kit mewed to her friends.
"I don't know," Another one squeaked.
Littlekit wandered into the den, he was almost six moons old now.
"There he is!" the kits ducked into the nest trying not to be seen.
"What's so wrong with him?" A small tom-kit asked.
"There's a rumor that he murdered three kits and his mother!" One of the she-kits squealed
"I know you're back there you three." Littlekit glanced at the pile of bracken that they were hiding in.
"EEK! Don't kill us!" The other she-kit cried.
Littlekit sighed and went to his nest, he curled up his bobtail twitching.
The tom-kit stood up, "why do you guys treat himso rudely?" he asked the she-kits.
"Because he murdere-"
"NO! You simply think that he murdered kits! I'm tired of you two!" he padded over to where Littlekit was in his nest, "Hello," he mewed.
Just tell me if you want more! :D
@Emily Reuter Erlandsson K
"Hello!" Littlekit turned his head, eyes filled with excitement.
"Do you wanna be friends?"
"Sure!"
"I'm Stemkit, and I already know you're name, Littlekit"
The two of them became best friends
(And i don't have anything more right now, but I will add when I get more)

True.
Most are evil cause they needed more love.
So this song is perfect because you needed to give them more love and they would be nice. (maybe)
