I wondered what flower speckletail had, so I went back to the google doc for the designs and found it was a pink carnation and it symbolizes a mother's undying love. :)

I love speckletail so much. When everyone tells her that there is something wrong with her son, she ignores it, and lashes out at them like any mother would if they were told their son was strange. She believed her son was normal, and despite him not being able to hear it, told him that he was normal as can be. I just love her because she acts realistically.

[@순희-r8t]

Silver Heart, it also depends on the age of the kitten. I hate to say it, but Snowkit was still really young. If only he were an apprentice so he could’ve been able to be to heavy and even though he would have gotten hurt he also could have been the first deaf warrior in ThunderClan

I think he couldn't survive being all alone. It would be hard for him to catch food.

He falls in a tree and finds his way back and Speckletail is really happy and Snowkit gets a special job thats okay for deaf cats!

Nah a kitten as old as Snowkit is small enough for a hawk, he would be the size of a fish a hawk would catch at that age (for ex, trout or bass)

[@cocoabeans3251]

I feel like he had a lot of wasted potential they could have done a lot with the deaf cat For example like seen in this map they could have used ground Vibrations or even tail Movements As a certain type of Sign language. Or he could have learned to heighten his other senses like sight , smell , and touch if he became a warrior. They also could have been a pretty good medicine cat Snow kit could have used His heightened smell to help find injured cats Who were bleeding. He could have also used The vibrations in the ground to tell us if something large is coming towards camp before the other cats in camp could tell. To be honest I don't think killing off a deaf character in warriors was really not their best decision. A lot of kids could have related to this character especially if they were deaf themselves, seeing a strong deaf character in one of their favorite book series would have been good! But they killed him off before he could have done anything that important rip snowkit.

I.... They literally live in the forest..... Where life really is pretty much kill or be killed and survival of the fittest... The clans care for and save as many of their own as they can but tons of cats still die or are hurt in the books regardless of physical ability...

[@cannibalisticfawn5895]

@@Ari_C It doesn't make it any less painful when disabled characters are so quickly brushed away in stories. It's right up there with the Bury Your Gays trope. It had better be a damn well deserved and planned out death. Every time a deaf character dies in a show, I lose it. I literally stopped watching a Netflix show because they killed their deaf character in the most back handed way physically possible. It stings

i kept expecting a hawk to come and swoop him away, honestly. this just shows how much speckletail was pained by her sons disability, but didn’t stop loving him like a mother is supposed to. i love the way you had her communicate through vibrations, not sound. i do believe he could’ve been a warrior because of this, maybe not fight in battles, but could definitely be an excellent hunter. he could feel the vibrations of prey scuffling and scurrying, and it would’ve been a heartwarming story.

[@BeeSwarmingURn]

@@kermitoguerreiro7952 learn from his peers maybe? Like they could use extreme symbolism. He could be paired up with another apprentice, one who would be able to stick with him throughout his life (almost like an arranged friendship/marriage, which sounds weird or bad, but need somebody to follow). Every time said cat had to do something (like a patrol, hunting, battle, and) Snow’Kit would do it with them. He’d learn to mimic what they did, and could use vibrations to help himself along. As to learning the code, they could do exercises! Like, maybe for learning borders, they’d patrol them with him, then purposefully run a piece of prey over the border. They’d teach him not to follow it past a certain point, among other things. They could teach him who was leader/deputy by having him attend every meeting. (He wouldn’t be able to hear them anyways, so he’d be fine attending meetings as a kit. He’d learn who were the important cats. And they could even use different flowers/leaves for him to figure out who’s who aswell. Med cats could wear mint leaves, leader/deputy other stuff, and apprentices and queens could be differentiated aswell.) Of course, I think he’d be more camp bound than others, but also a useful individual. He’d be able to do repairs on the dens, and be kinda like brightheart and help the medicine cats. Anyways, this was a huge ramble, I just think it would’ve been cool if he lived… :((

[@kermitoguerreiro7952]

@@BeeSwarmingURn yes i love what you said. Well, I really think that deaf cats would have a kind of "Nanny" someone stay right by their side (Don't need to be on their side all the time, especially in the camp) but on patrols, because well, they will never learn correctly about the code of the warrior, he may even understand some things or incomplete. the warriors who would side with them could be a mother or father or some relative or even any warrior.

If I recall correctly, deaf folk can actually 'listen' to music but only experience it through the vibration of it and can still enjoy it even if it's not exactly the same experience, maybe he can't hear the song like hearing cats but he can feel that and his mother's love which is what the song communicates.

[@Dragonemperess]

2:48 This could also work as an AU where he lives. She called him back before everyone was aware of the hawk, which means he lived. Speckletail and Brackenfur (once he proved that his intentions were good) became his unofficial co-mentors since Bluestar refused to have him officially mentored. With him being deaf, it boosted his other senses and he learned to read movement like an Espeon does. Taking something from my favorite Snowkit lives AU, he puts his tail up to other cat's throats and translates the vibrations. He even learns to read lips and becomes a master of body language reading and can tell if someone is lying by their body language, which makes future storylines quite interesting, *Cough*Squirrelflightandleafpool*cough*. For the warrior name that I think would fit him, definitely Snowwhisker for his heightened senses. But I love irony and Snowwing and Snowhawk (like in the story) would be awesome too.

WE DID IT!!! My gosh we really pulled it together quickly! And it turned out amazing!!! Thanks so much for letting me participate, Sally, in such an incredible and sweet MAP! And great job to everyone! Happy Valentine’s Day! 🌸🌹

[@IsabellaBerriosIsachu]

Me: don’t get attached don’t get attached Also me: Aww Hawk: I’m about to reck this mans career

[@jellymoon5899]

HE JUST A CHILD STAR CLAN NOOO{O

[@BuggDrinkk]

Excuse me I didn't give you permission to pull at my heartstrings But seriously this map portrays Speckletail's love for Snowkit more than the books did in my opinion

[@Phoenixfeather-ve9ru]

Intro is playing Im already crying.

[@cranburry_art0132]

I was talking to my friend and she had her baby sister listening, she asked me why snow'kit can't hear and her sister busted in saying "he just didn't want to hear everyone talking bad towards him! So when he was born he chose to not hear!" After that and watching this map I nearly cried Edit: also my friend pointed out the petal was shaped like a heart showing how speckle'tail cares for her son with all her heart, I also nearly cried bc of that lol

[@kayw1601]

I kept waiting in dread for the scene w the hawk and when it didn't come I was so happy. This map was so beautiful and emotional too 💕💕

[@ShadowwolfUchiha]

Yeah, me too T.T it would have been very emotional with this song. She tried so hard to protect her baby from the world, and Snow kit still died.

[@anjiblizzy9860]

aAAAA this turned out to be such a beautiful MAP ;v; The focus of mother's love is so underrated specifically in wc compared to lovers and it felt super nice to see it in the spotlight!! Everyone's parts turned out beautifully ;v;

[@0hnutty455]

wdym snowkit = overrated lmao. I guess mother's love is underrated in warriors... but the mothers don't even show that much love towards them. Just "pride sparking in their eyes" or grooming them before apprenticeship or something lol

[@miss_opal]

I love when speckle’tail taps on the floor, trying to get the vibration to snow’kit to come right back in her tail, and the second the vibration hits snow’kit he took no time to think and ran to his mom, it’s truly touching. 🤍

[@SEGAmastergirl]

It’s too sweet! My heart AH! You’re going to kill me with all this sweetness I can’t take it.

[@the_lost_archivist3751]

I just realised..that’s where that songs from! I have literally all the other movies but the first one.. I remember crying whenever I watched that movie :c

[@eevkookie5418]

I was confused until I got to the credits. I was gonna say Baby Of Mine was in Dumbo not The Land Before Time. But now I know you mean the credit song. I remember that movie and oof it's still an emotional movie.

[@gellybean4323]

I owned all of the movies and I just watched the first last night XD

[@Squirrelflight_Is_Baddie]

1:37 🤨- Speckletail

[@Loving.Regards]

I always felt like killing off snowkit was an excuse of not wanting to have a deaf cat go into training... :C they should hav at least given him a death when he was an apprentince I would have loved to see him even if just as a background character and how he grows despite his ability (I mean they had longtail, and jayfeather who were blind but not a deaf one???) I mean speckletail even practicaly begged them to try to at least use tail signals or the vibrations like she did in the MAP and if his training didn't work out he could have still lived and done something! just think of the potential that little guy could have had!

[@occasionallytoffee7609]

Roses are red, Snowkit's eyes are blue, Everyone loves snowkit, And Speckletail does too. (This map is amazing, it's so emotional ;w;) (Edit: HOLY- 600 LIKES!? WH-) (Edit 2: *Toffee.exe has stopped working.* )

thank you for making a map with snowkit that doesnt end in his death, this is so sweet and their relationship isnt given enough attention. speckletail was a wonderful mom, she was the only one that was truly understanding and loving of snowkit, and i wish he had lived so he could have become a wonderful warrior with his mother by his side the whole time. this map is lovely 💙

Oh my goodness...I love everything about this video I don't know what to start off with. The atmosphere of the video, it's so calm and pretty, with the flowers and the lighting really matches well with the soft tone of the song. Everyone's map part was unbelievably beautiful, and just precious to watch. Every single animator brought Speckletail's love for her kit, and had shown it clearly. I especially loved watching Snowkit's cute lil' antics, like how in Gekko's part, he chased around the feather. I also adore how Speckletail's way of training her deaf kit, or 'telling' him to come to her was shown by the taps of her paw, and the vibrations it does to the ground. (Good job Ursiday!!) I was surprised to see Crownedx Wolf as one of the animators! I just discovered their amazing Flipaclip animations, so wow!! And SodaPopTops!! I think I remember seeing a map part of them from the Joan Of Arc map, it's definitely great to see animators of new and old. And, I really wish to continue on about how everybody's map parts were gorgeous, (I love the painted feeling of Tybaxel's map part, Sagutoyas having Speckletail bring Snowkit closer to her literally made my heart melt, and the way Crowla drew Speckletail's expressions as she watches Snowkit, oof, my hearttt!!). I definitely love this map for Valentine's Day. Although it's more of a couple's day, it's about love, and love can be found anywhere. From parent to child, from siblings, and love is also found and forged in friendships. I'm not in a relationship, and I did not spend Valentine's Day with a significant other, but, I spent my time at school with my friends. I had given chocolate kisses (but first asking, "Do you want a kiss?"), to classmates and friends, and even conversed with a former friend. But also today, I was just reminded about how much I truly love and care for my friends, and even though we're far apart, we don't talk anymore, or life has and will set us on different paths, the love and care I've shared with my friends will always remain with me, and help me understand how love exists besides the love between two lovers.

[@casualfridays4051]

The one dislike is the hawk that killed snowkit

[@thenerdasaurus3717]

I always thought it was so messed up and ableist that Snowkit died. I love the opportunity for communicating with Snowkit with vibrations. I wish they had done something like that instead of having a hawk carry him off. Also heck that Land Before Time music got me lol

[@classycat228]

Thank god the hawk wasn’t there

[@classycat228]

it is but this map is to cute for that meanie beanie to be in it

[@dog9618]

I perfectly agree with you

[@AL-ow4qn]

Agreed

[@kat-kg8vr]

This is so beautiful, I was crying. I really love how the MAP expressed Speckletail and Snowkit's relationship, and to be honest it hit it dead on. Like, my heart is aching, this is amazing!

[@starling_song]

The entire time I was holding my breath like “When’s the hawk part-“ but it never happened so y a y

[@starfruit6991]

SPOILER ALERT there's a theory that the hawk dropped snowkit and he was raised by 2 elderly cats.

[@brooklynschauf9086]

StarFruit69 awwwwww

[@woofolotl]

the theory is a headcanon :(

[@brooklynschauf9086]

StarFruit69 I don’t know if you watch Daily Dose of Internet, but his newest vid has a deaf Snow White Cat, all I could think of was Snowkit

[@gaydummy2845]

Or maybe adopted by humans and then lived as a kittypet.

[@ilikeanimeandfoxes7196]

O lord let that be true

[@ashfur6719]

This is the purest warrior map! Everyone nailed the lovely aesthetic ❤️ Ι especially love the character designs, Speckletail has the perfect ''snarky but protective mom'' expression

[@Fizzymilkshakee]

I have an au idea where the hawk that picked up snowkit flies to the tribe of rushing water and gets attacked, snowkit is taken in as "snow falling lightly" or "one who beats hawks" or something like that, during the great journey, snow and firestar meet and snow rejoins the clans

[@--moonwatcher-the-nightwing--]

Another au idea: snowkit gets dropped by the hawk in a river and survives, he grows up with no name and becomes a skilled hunter, he wants the name snowtuft and he joins a clan with out no one outside that clan knowing as a medicine cat, he killed cats and became snowtuft in the dark forest

[@sodapoptops]

Everyone did such a wonderful job! I'm so glad I was able to take part in this! Thank you so much again for the opportunity, this turned out AMAZING!!!

[@Makaruu]

This is the most pure wholesome map ive ever seen im actually getting so emotional?? Everyone did such a good job this was so touching

[@gae9702]

I'm loving the never ending love and concern speckle felt for her kit, she was always there for him. She refused to even think about her son being strange, she just loved him. This map really focuses on that mother to son relationship and that's what I watch it years later

[@marsp0p]

IT TURNED OUT SO GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!! EVERYONE DID AMaZING!! IM HONORED TO BE APART OF IT 💚💚

I always saw this map but never bothered on watching it. I’m glad I watched it today. It made me cry how much of a protective and sweet mother speckletail is. ♥️

Poor Speckletail. She never got the chance to watch her son grow up.

[@sillyspyder9876]

I feel like **sniff** if this was a try not to cry challenge, I would've lost. Granted they were a mix of sad and happy tears. The song killed me, when Snowkit yawned, I was ready to protect him with all my might, and even the ending song with the Land Before Time KILLED ME! This MAP created emotions even in the hard, cold heart of mine. Very well done, the animations were beautiful and the work was well done. I cried, okay! I cried!

*_now they're together in starclan_* 🤞🏾💓

[@dearlemonboy]

oh no im crying I wouldve loved to see Snowkit as at least an apprentice tbh. He was such a sweetie and was killed off too quickly. I think the Clan's judgement toward him for having his disability was absurd. They dont judge Jayfeather for being blind, they didnt judge Briarlight for being paralyzed, why was Snowkit so mistreated? Also can I put in that Speckletail was one of the best mothers in the Warriors series and always will be. The designs in this are absolutely gorgeous, I like Snowkit's floppy ear. Much love to Snowkit and Speckletail 💕

[@pridelandsqueen77]

I know but you have to remember this back when ThunderClan was barely willing take in an outsider despite only having like seven active warriors. Under bluestar ThunderClan was still very traditional. Wasn't there talk about Cinderpelt having to go immediately to elder den before Yellowfang offer to make her apprentice? And Brightheart was actually put with the elders. It only under Firestar, Brightheart was allow to prove herself and probably why Jayfeather was allow to try to be warrior. If Snowkit had live to Firestar's leadership he may have allow to be a warrior as well.

[@dearlemonboy]

pridelandsqueen77 Oh yeah, I completely forgot about Bluestar being the leader. Thanks for correcting me!

[@KimSxxiny]

The map turned super beautiful Sagu! ;;_; We can see Speckletail and Snowkit together, they had a very beautiful mother-kit, and we can see Speckletail loves her kit so much and she'd do anything for them :"3 everyone did an amazing job!!

At 2:53, that expression is lovely. Well done to everyone that worked on this MAP ❤️

[@speedienth7778]

This is too cute!!! I love the amount of emotion put into all of these parts and the color palette is really appealing! And yeah it's a great message that Valentine's Day doesn't have to only be about romantic love, that's an important point. I really enjoyed watching this, wonderful job to all who put it together! :)

[@Meevij48]

Let’s face it, we all want Snowkit back as a warrior.

[@lovelytheloser]

*YES.*

[@llamaniaman4002]

I mean him being a warrior wasn't impossible. It'd just take maybe two or so extra moons for him to be trained in order to perfect his hunting skills and fighting skills. He could even be a half warrior half medicine cat Like Featherwhisker was. He'd hunt fresh-kill and learn herbs and healing techniques through sign language, movement, and demonstration. Plus it'd be a big encouragement to death readers or disabled readers in general.

[@gaydummy2845]

Nyla Briscoe or he could like help queens and kits in the queens den.

[@northoak8211]

This map nearly made me cry hhhh Snowkit's story is such a sad one, and I'm glad we got to see it from this point of view of Speckletail caring so deeply for her son. It's so touching and it's something that we as readers may not realize. Snowkit is one story in the warriors series that is just so sad because of how it affects the entire clan. Speckletail is such a carrying mother and she never wished Snowkit to feel any different from the rest of the clan. That's what makes this map even more compelling, its that we see Speckletail's side of the story and how deeply she cares for her kit.

[@lovelytheloser]

Agreed!

[@leadkidfromross]

I honestly adore the fact you didnt decide to include Snowkit's super tragic death in the storyboard. This was so sweet and I love it so much.

Its genuinely not. Hes gonna be fucking fine smh,,, like, chill lol. Nothing even remotely bad will happen._ *Speckletail:* _...fine I guess I can uh. I can try it. If you really think it'll be okay.
