Twigbranch (So. This has kinda gotten confusing. I had to add something in a while ago, and it was after it had gotten 1k likes, so I added a K for Twigbranch. It just had gotten more confusing cause after you hit the K's you would always be Twigbranch. So I made this edit to explain things. If you only have one number an K e.g. 1K then you'd be Twigbranch, but if you have two numbers and a K e.g. 1.2k then you'd be the number after the point. So if it was at 1.2k I would be Sleekwhisker)

+Jessica Lucas To be fair, no one had really encountered dogs that fearsome before. And Swiftpaw and Brightpaw were the size of full grown warriors. If it was a fox, they could've taken it on without a problem. Even when Firestar and the rest of the clan confronted it, Bluestar still died.

[@alittlebitd3ad]

04:53, this part made me sad, because it was Swiftpaw imagining ripping the dogs to shreds, when really it was the shock from powerful jaws crunching his frail body. He wishes he was able to, when his eyes go white, it's not from power entering his body, it's just the shock of the situation sinking in onto him. So, he fabricates a scenario where he manages to beat up the dogs, but, of course, that didn't happen, for me that's the saddest part of this MAP, life cruelly being ripped away from Swiftpaw.

[@Lost_Eclipse]

isnt actually fully white. it has one point in both eyes in the top, but yeah, you're right

[@subyouwont]

It’s not really shock, just fear until the dog actually bites down on his back. Also he definitely did rip some of them up because there’s no way for the dog to grab his back when he’s pinned like that, and brightpaw later remarked that he fought like all of Lion clan

[@moththompson466]

I like to think Swiftpaw was the one who led Longtail to Starclan and that when Swiftpaw died, Longtail and Goldenflower became like best friends from grieving over her son and his apprentice. Longtail and Swiftpaw's relationship is something I would have loved to read more about in the first arc and later on when Brightheart had kits she told her kits about Swiftpaw and how brave he was. Like Snowbush and Dewnose are all about being as great as him. And when Bluestar died, she sought out Swiftpaw and apologized for ignoring his skills.

[@HarvestPeiskos2209]

@Karamia_ Wolfgirl_21 your right. on certain parts it was as if I was having a flash back from what happened both before and after his death. When I saw the thumbnail I clicked on it immediately.

I love every scene where Swiftpaw glances up at Longtail to decide how he should feel about situations. It's so cute, even if it's just a small detail.

[@sophielan1186]

I absolutely love how the move that Longtail taught Swiftpaw (the one where he pushes his opponent off of him with his hind legs) was repeatedly shown throughout the PMV as the story progressed and portrayed different ideas. When Longtail first uses on him and he does it back to Longtail, it shows their bond as mentor/apprentice and how Swiftpaw looked up to him and learned a lot from him. This idea (their bond) is then portrayed when Longtail watches Fireheart bring Cloudkit with disgust, which causes Swiftpaw to then mirror his mentor's feelings. Next, he uses it on an enemy cat, and it works. He's obviously proud of himself, and this also shows how much he's learned and how capable he is as a warrior. But then all he sees is Bluestar looking approvingly at Cloudpaw, which allows us to understand his frustrations as well as his actions later on. Finally, he tries to use it on the dog who's attacking him. This move was used by Swiftpaw throughout the PMV and has worked every single time before. However, now, it's completely ineffective, and that immediately gives the audience a feeling of hopelessness. This hopeless feeling then is able to highlight how courageous and fearless Swiftpaw is as he's shown attacking with his claws right after, even though both he and the audience are fully aware of how desperate his situation is (and this desperation is reinforced by how Swiftpaw's move failed when it worked every single time before). Which then makes it even more sad when he's killed ;-; Wow so this ended up a lot longer than I thought it'd be but I'm just so impressed at the thought put into the planning for this that I had to point it out. Planning aside, the art for this is also amazing and it's incredible how it was completed in only 72 hours! Overall, I just love this so much. Brilliant job!

[@laundrysauce354]

Sophie Lan noo this made me so sad

[@Wave-Bright]

The story of swift paw is absolutely heart wrenching, but honestly all he wanted was to prove himself, to show that he was worth of becoming a thunderclan warrior. I honestly think that its kind of sad to see that Erin didn't have swiftpaws death affect the plot, I wanted to see longtail mourning alongside fire heart with no words to say only grief for the loss of the apprentice. I want to see bluestar feeling guilt for not giving him his name. I want to see brightheart crying out his name in her sleep, while cloud tail murmurers soft words of comfort to her. I want to see some swiftpaw affected moments in the books. And most of all I want to see a scene where both brightheart and swiftpaw reuniting in starclan with apologies from swiftpaw and a lick on the ear from brightheart telling him its alright. But sadly that wasn't what we got, and i'm sad because of it.

[@magicrainbowkitties1023]

He totally affected the plot. He gave Firestar one of his lives and gave Brightheart the will to go on, inspired by his tenacity and bravery. He didn't affect the plot in a huge way, but every cat in the story made choices and did things that shaped the course of the Clans.

[@foxxlight]

[@atlasthenightmarishdemon5597]

My of, brokenshadow : I wanted that too, but him joining Starclan made brightheart have more courage and be confident. Him joining starclan made fireheart become leader of thunderclan. If it weren't for the sad, sad death, so many cats wouldn't be blown, examples:whitewing,ivypool, dovewing, and so many others! We all will honour his death and mourn for him, but it made all of us a better cat. Our destiny's are clearer BECAUSE of swiftpaw.... I want you to know, everything will probably be made up for in a different book. Let's all honour him and make him smile, I'm sure he'll be proud!

[@towboats]

I hate how Swiftpaw was made an apprentice even before Brackenfur and Cinderpelt, and Graystripe was hardly ever around to take care of his own apprentice. Longtail on the other hand seemed like a very good and smart cat to mentor Swiftpaw. I’m actually really tired of people who say they hate Swiftpaw because he went to find the dogs out of selfishness, which I really don’t see it that way. Swiftpaw had hardly been mentioned at all for the entire arc, and if you ignore the fact that he died, he did his Clan a favor by showing the danger of the creatures at Sunningrocks. It was Bluestar’s fault he never got to become a warrior, a bit of Fireheart's too, but n0p3. This MAP beautifully shows Swiftpaw’s struggles of trying to be noticed and to be a true member of ThunderClan. The artists portrayed the scenes perfectly, this is definitely one of my favorite projects I’ve ever seen, and I’m so happy it was finished so soon. Amazing job you guys!!

[@KikiKittyBird]

BreezyBramble oh my gosh yes, you are so right, you should be pinned

[@mangocat4884]

Swiftpaw was a hardworking cat that deserved to be made a warrior, but Bluestar didn't trust his mentor and therefore forbade him to be a warrior, along with all the other apprentices besides cloudpaw. Cloudpaw being made a warrior but not swiftpaw was unfair on bluestar's part, but I don't see why it's firehearts fault. Fireheart tried to convince Bluestar that swiftpaw and the other apprentices were trustworthy and deserved to be made warriors, but she refused to listen. Swiftpaw was desperate to prove himself, and he made a risky deduction that cost him his life and brightpaws eye. I agree that longtail was a good mentor, there's a scene in the books where he and fireheart have an argument. Longtail wants swiftpaw to be a warrior, since cloudtail recieved his name. Afterwards fireheart does try to convince Bluestar to no avail. It's one of the small details in the main story, a plot line in the background that should have recieved more attention to be honest

[@Mabellu]

I agree with each and every part of this. However, What did Fireheart do wrong?

I know I'm late but I'm actually crying. I've seen many depictions of the dog attack but this one made me very emotional.

[@justinflowers9380]

You conveyed yourself perfectly well. These books are notorious for backstabbing you, and unfortanetely Swiftpaw was apart of it. These books have unsettled me more than anything in my life, but that's what makes them good. Instead of seing Swiftpaw's death as only a tragedy, we can extract something from it. If these books teach you anything, it's that life is always unpredictable, and you have to enjoy it while also expecting the unexpected. (If that makes sense?) I had to write a short story using figurative language (More creative ways to describe something, not really about similes and stuff.) In the end, I made the decision to kill the main character, the protagonist. She was killed by a long lost friend, who saw his duties over mercy. Anyway, this reply is to a year old comment and it's getting long so I have nothing else to say.

To me, I don’t understand how he was too impatient as people said he is. Bluestar without a doubt would have never made him a warrior if she was still alive to this day. She sees him as a traitor, so only waiting would be a waste of time. If it wasn’t for him, Fireheart would have never taken that much action about the dogs. Swiftpaw was there to show a sign that there was terribly something wrong near the clans. I would too do something the same, this is your clan, you need to take action. Swiftpaw was upset and in fact, furious that a younger apprentice than him could become a warrior first, that was very unfair for all of the apprentices, not only Swiftpaw. So in my eyes, he did the right thing.

This part, most of all, destroyed me. I had a cat, who looked a lot like Brightpaw, who was mauled by a pack of dogs in our back yard not too long before I started reading the books. Great video and kudos on the all the talent on-board for capturing such a devastating scene, and I don't mean that sarcastically. There's a certain catharsis in letting myself cry over Warriors m.a.p.s that confronts and eases the pain of the cats I've lost. I'd like to imagine they're with StarClan now.

[@snookkit]

at 5:20, when Fireheart saw Brightpaws remains, I strongly wish that Fireheart and the patrol could see Swiftpaw standing over her body as he did in this. Now, that would've caused me to cry, for sure. Imagine this; **Cloudtail yowled as he stared in horror, ''Fireheart!'' Fireheart turned to face Cloudtail, his eyes clouded in pain and loss for the ThunderClan apprentice, Swiftpaw. ''It's Brightpaw! She's alive!'' He reported, staring at her body in dismay. Fireheart rushed over to look, half of the patrol following, the other half staring dully at Swiftpaw's body. Fireheart felt his heart break in half as he stared at Brightpaw's remains. Her face was torn, exposing peach, fresh skin on her left side of her face. And laying over her body, was a young, shining apprentice tom. The crying tom was instantly recognised as Swiftpaw. Not just Swiftpaw, but the StarClan spirit of him. He seemingly glared into Fireheart's soul, before wincing, and fading away. A tear was seen rolling down Brightpaw's flank. Fireheart, half shook and half confused, called over his patrol instantly. ''Sandstorm, go get Cinderpelt!'' Fireheart ordered...** .. Now this would have been amazing to read. This is now canon, in my books.

I disagree, Starclans untouchableness was a large part imo of what made the early series better. You also have to think about where it'd go storywise from there.

One thing that I like about this MAP is how is shows Swiftpaw physically and mentally get older. Whenever I see the ending "-paw" or see that the character is in the apprentice's section, I immediately image them to be 12 or 13 years old in maturity, when in reality one most likely becomes a warrior by the time they've reached adulthood, so Swiftpaw, when he died, might have been 18 years old in maturity. I've seen a lot of MAPs, but even though I don't know too much about Swiftpaw, I think that this is one of best that I've seen. I can feel the emotion, tone, mood, attitude (whatever the right word for this sort of thing) in different places, such as at 3:48, he is positioned in such a way that shows that he is ready to take on this task almost to the point of making him a martyr for doing it. I also like how they showed Fireheart and other warriors discovering the rabbits at 3:13, which foreshadow Swiftpaw's decision and later his death. There's a lot more that could be said and analyzed in this video, but I don't want to make a high school english essay in the comments. This MAP is amazing and everyone who worked in it did an awesome job =)

[@carysajade1248]

*i'm a little late to the bandwagon but* I can't believe I haven't seen this sooner. Holy. Alright, this MAP is special to me for four reasons. Firstly, This MAP shows the details of Swiftpaw's life. This makes the death so much more heartbreaking later on, as you see this young cat develop feelings and relationships without any words given. It's so emotional to see him and Longtail spar together, to spend time together. The books didn't touch on it too much, but this makes his life seem so much more than 'cat gets bit by dog oh no.' I have never seen such beautiful animation and wordless emotion be conveyed through Swiftpaw's story, and it makes me tear up every time. Second, his death hits so hard. Because of the emotional buildup before, the timing of the animation makes it seem so much more unpredictable. Honestly, this shone such a new light on his story and his death, giving it such an impactful end. It really is truly amazing. The gore wasn't too extra (like I have seen it in other MAPS about Swiftpaw coff) but it was enough to show you how gruesome and unexpected this actually was. Brightpaw's reaction to it also made her emotion seem genuine as she sprang out of the tree for revenge. Before, you had seen her quiet and reserved, but when you realize how real the circumstances are, you know that this makes her ANGRY. I'd also like to point out the shot where the dogs are looming over them, shadows that seem impossible to beat (which they were). Just breathtaking. Third, the friggin MUSIC. I could not have picked a better song. A nice instrumental at the beginning, followed by soft, sad lyrics. It plays perfectly with his story, and I absolutely love it. A joy to listen to, it makes the animation and story feel especially important. Well done. Lastly, the ending credits. Specifically the Longtail scene. Oh, my god. THE TEARS ARE HERE! This was just.. bittersweet. Up until this point, you are seeing all of the horrified reactions of the characters seeing their deaths. But, that quiet moment you have with Longtail really hits you. You know this character, all the struggles and trials he's been through. And seeing him earlier in the MAP, training Swiftpaw, you know that they had an incredibly close bond. Longtail knows this is an accident. But he still grieves. And he grieves hard. *Overall, just amazing. Sorry for that tangent, but I just needed to say it and go in depth, because this MAP TOTALLY deserves it. I subbed to all of these animators, they are just amazing. Thank you for making this a reality.*

[@katie0707]

I know, I 100% agree with everything you have said. It all brought tears to my eyes and I can’t stop playing this. Longtail lived such a life, witnessing the deaths of all his apprentices must have been hard, even to his death. Ahhh! I’m crying again, this time for Longtail ahh! Swiftpaw in this reminds me so much of my cat - they are identical, behaviour and appearance. When I watch this all I can picture is just my cat and it’s so heartbreaking. Also the credits, his broken paw and then to Longtail with the forget-me-nots is just way too much. Ahhhheeeee I’m sobbing.

I couldn't stop the tears to overflow my eyes, We burried her eventually and after days of mourning and grief, i come back to this MAP and can't stop thinking of pepper, i'd like to think pepper was like swiftpaw, and i was the one who wasn't ready. nevertheless i hope pepper is having fun in wherever she is, happy new year pepper, rest in peace kitty, Thank you for hosting and creating this MAP this really copes me with my kittens death :'D edit: I have been in a mental spiraldown, So i had a white cat who gave birth to 5 kittens (pepper is one of them) The cat was named ming, we had 3 boys and two girls, The two girls were both a brown tabby with hazel eyes, Two whites whom both have separate tail lengths, one was straight like its mom and one was curled into a spring, one eye colored was yellow also like its mother and the other had heterochromia, and lastly a orange tabby cat with green eyes pepper, copper, cloud, frost and rusty (yes i named rusty after firestar's kittypet name) pepper died first from the dog attacks, Rusty gotten cat-napped, the mother died due to being crushed under a car, And recently today as im making this edit frost died, a victim to roadkill now im left with two kittens left who has their whole life ahead of them, My mental health was severly damaged from the deaths of my cats and with this song It heals my heart and mind knowing that at least they are okay and playing up on the clouds Edit 2: Copper actually gave birth twice, the first batch.. sadly didn't make it.. their names was bella, oreo and pepper which were all greyish brown tabby she-cats and their only brother, Rusty the 2nd Which is orange tabbycat. Copper's second batch all made it as I am typing this, although she ran away from home?? or went to the street.. and I don't know what happened but she never came back home. She left her second batch who was 2-3 days old, Me and my mum bottlefed them, we ordered goat milk for them and etc, We kept them nice and warm. Actually when they were learning to walk and stuff, during my daily routinely feeding of them, one of the kittens climbed on my back, using their claws and tried to drink milk from my hair (it was ticklish haha) The batch has two grey-black cats, one has stripes and the other not, The grey striped cat is named brooks, the grey not striped cat is named boguard (boh-gard), both are tom cats. For the she-cats, we have two Orange tabbies, piper and ginger, piper was the runt of the group, she was skinny and tiny. She almost died from suffocation when her mother sat on her embryo sack when she was born. Lastly we have a calico, Spleens. Named after a Sims 4 calico in graystillplayz channel, i thought it was funny. I was planning to name the others after organs too, Tonsils (Nickname Tony), Urethra (reth), Esophagus (Gus), Diaphragm (Dia) but mom wanted normal names i guess haha. So that's all for now, might update this later on.

CAN I JUST SAY that I love this? It's easy to say that it looks really beautiful, and it does. But I just expected this to be another boring Swiftpaw MAP, where they show his injustice and his naivety. But the script ACTUALLY fleshed out what many MAPs and AMVs miss. His relationship with Longtail, who Bluestar distrusted more than many. The support his mentor tried to give. His views of Cloudtail and the heritage that made him better in Bluestar's eyes. It even reminded me that Swiftpaw died never recieving his justice and how he must have surely regretted bringing Brightpaw to her demise. The emotions and art and script convey his story so well. It truly is the best representation of this character yet.

I wasn't bc patchpelt didn't care I think it's bc patchpelt was an elder at the time so he couldn't show a dad figure cause it would probably Eghaust him

[@sushi6509]

I love how you interpreted Swift’paws life with his mentor Longtail aswell. It gives I guess a little backstory of why Swiftpaw doesn’t really like CloudKit. This m.a.p is actually one of my favourites. I don’t know how to express the right words because I’m utterly speechless. Great job!

[@FMajor]

This is the most emotional map I’ve ever even tbh and features some under appreciated characters! Great job to all the artists and editors, this turned out so well!

Honestly, I never cry watching warrior cat Maps/pmvs, but this one, this one hit me H A R D, Swift'Paw was always one of my favorite cats, and will forever be one my favorite cats, I think he should've lived a long happy life with BrightPaw( BrghtHeart), but he was so angry and annoyed when BlueStar didn't make him an apprentice, and so he wanted to prove to hs clan that he can handle being a warrior, Taking risky missions and battles, but he and BrightPaw were only apprentices, they didn't have much training time, and he was NOT ready, but the thought he was... Reading his death made me cry out In class, and it's making me cry stain with The beautiful drawings, congrats to the artists in this, extremely talented, Swift'Paw will be a close part in my heart, and so will BrightHeart (Edit: *warrior,* not apprentice )

i keep watching this expecting not to cry but i keep crying anyways this map is SO good and it also ripped out my heart and stepped on it so thanks

i cried as well :')

[@Voider_beans]

This was so good and a way to remember what challenges swiftpaw went throught

[@m.henny07]

Y’all ever just think about the original series and smile, because even though it was sad, and our favorite characters died, it will always be *the original*. No offense, and this is just my opinion, but the original series will always beat the new ones. I love all the books, but there’s a sense of nostalgia that comes from the original series.

[@ryangoslingsimp]

all da best characters died in the first series why would i smile (no firestar doesnt count like i can hunt a mouse to)

[@lulathealien1598]

I totally agree with you!

[@carl_Grimes_drawz]

It remember reading the first series, I was so much younger, I was so much happier, each series will have a place in my life and heart, the first one got me through friend problems with my (now ex) best friend, who at the time I refused to give up on or believe she was toxic, the second series I read when I was diagnosed with anxiety and as I worked hard on fighting the anxiety, the third and fourth got me through my first year of middle school, and after that since Jayfeather was no longer a major character I stoped reading, I have still stayed in the fandom though. I will always come back to the earlier books when I feel sad or just want some comfort of nostalgia.

Yeah I hated I think Omen Of The Stars when Mouse Fur died. Mouse Fur is queen

[@sierra609]

@@carl_Grimes_drawz I read the first series and loved it. Tried reading New Prophecy found it really boring and I gave up reading Warrior Cats, but I still love the fandom and the first series holds a place in my ❤

No matter how many times I watch this the emotions that the animators/artists put into this and into the characters hiTS ME HARD

[@scourgeashfur9546]

AGREED

[@pikazillalikefromflipnote]

I cannot get over this MAP, it is absolutely incredible. The slow animation style fits the music and the limited movements make it look like a visual novel to fit perfectly with the telling of Swiftpaw's entire life. The emotions are so clear without a single line of dialogue and the music's natural beauty strengthens the animation more. I doubt there could have been a more perfect and emotionally moving choice of music. And not to mention, this map alone sheds such a new light on a rather minor character who never did any good. I know portraying Swiftpaw in a human light isn't a new concept, but this MAP has done a spectacular job at it. It has turned a background character into one of my absolute favorite warriors characters. It turned a death that initially didn't faze me much into the most heart wrenching of the series in my eyes. I don't feel for fictional characters very often, but this MAP gets very close to making me cry. Amazing work. Truly amazing. Everyone involved did spectacular.

[@finneganlassiter454]

Pikazilla I could not have even said it even nearly as well.

[@huffmankarson]

Teared up at the end, the best Swiftpaw map ever.

[@BumbleTus]

This is so beautiful and absolutely heartwrenching. But everyone did amazing, following the designs and the script and the COLORS. it flowed so so well. I know I'll be coming back to watch this one many times.

[@opiumtaxadvisor8596]

Can I just say that this is the most beautifully made and inspired MAP I've ever watched? The art, the expressions, the movements, and the situation coupled with the song genuinely made me emotional. It took me back years to when I first read those scenes myself. Huge round of applause to all those involved. What an amazing creation to be proud of.
