Story:
After Rose murders King Romulus, a wandering cat named Lydia stumbles upon his body. Realizing the identity of the tom, she realizes that it could land her some credibility, even power in Romulus' Empire. She sees the rose drop, but thinks nothing of it
Lydia is greeted by Prince Maxwell. Instead of being upset over his King's death, he's cheerful, realizing he's now king. He immediately takes a liking to Lydia, and Lydia sees this and decides to use it to obtain power for herself. The two end up forming a relationship.
Rose is being fed information through a spy. The spy is revealed to be Queen Lydia, and Rose jumps on the opportunity. She makes a deal with Lydia: Assassinate and dethrone Maxwell, and their kingdoms would become unified. Despite Lydia realizing that Rose was responsible for Romulus' death, she's pleased with this idea. The two continue to meet for several months.
Lydia becomes pregnant with Maxwell's kittens. At first, she's upset, but Rose reminds her that this just solidifies her place as Queen. After Ares and Kaylee are born, Maxwell shows a softer side, deciding to turn over a new leaf for the sake of his children. Now, Lydia is uncomfortable with the assassination attempt.
When Lydia tells Rose she doesn't want to follow through anymore, Rose reconvinces her. Little do either of them know, one of Maxwell's spies has spotted them, and immediately reports it to Maxwell, which infuriates him. He bursts into their bedroom, finding an open window and two motherless kittens, showing that Lydia was in fact not at the castle.
When Lydia returns, Rose waits outside the Empire Castle for the assassination attempt to finish. After a while, she gets nervous and decides to see what's going on. Horrified, she discovers Maxwell has murdered Lydia after finding out her true intentions. Rose, now infuriated that her plan has failed, as well as seeing her friend die, vows to make Maxwell pay. She rushes to the lair of the Warlock, a mysterious cat from Lydia's past.
Rose begs Warlock to curse her brother. Bitterly, he agrees, and drops Lydia's necklace in his cauldron. The curse on Maxwell is placed, and his children watch in horror. Rose discovers a painting on Warlock's wall. It hits her in the face. Warlock was Lydia's father. Before she can do anything, Warlock punishes Rose as well. Heartbroken, he screams for her to leave, telling her she will now be forced to face the consequences of her actions. She is forced to see the spirits of those in her life who she has wronged. King Romulus, Lydia, Strike, and Lillia all surround her, condoning her actions. She is completely overwhelmed.
Several years later, she is murdered by Maxwell and Lydia's son, Ares. Rose was given the opportunity to raise Lydia's motherless kits, but Rose refused, leaving them to deal with their now abusive father, which is why Ares sought to get revenge, leading to the end of Rose's story.

Alrighty, I had these comments turned off since November 2020, but now I’m going to turn them back on. The reason I turned these comments off is because people ended up engaging in fights with one another over these characters. Even I got heated at points, but all the nastiness has since been removed. “Rose is worse” “Max is worse” “Lydia is worse”. As the creator, may I remind you that they are all bad in their own ways, but Max takes the cake for being #1. He willingly assisted in the murder plot of his father, drove out his family, abused his children, and murdered his wife. That split second of him smiling at his children does not remedy the harm he’s caused. However, liking him is 100% okay! Heck, I LOVE him as a villain! It just gets into sticky territory when people start justifying his crimes for that split second of affection he showed, which was abruptly cut short anyway. This same justification and thinking goes for Rose as well. Same for Lydia. As I said before, go at it! love them! analyze them! that’s what makes indie projects fun! just be respectful to those around you and be kind to those you disagree with! Nobody here is 100% good, nobody is 100% bad. They’re all grey in some way. This PMV was meant to highlight all the horrific things that went wrong to set up the rebooted series! Don’t fret, a lot of the things in this end up getting covered in the reboot, so you’ll get some answers to your questions soon! Thank y’all for the support, and go check out episode one of the reboot!

[@XSHADOWTHELEGENDARYHEDGEHOGxX]

love you alex

[@AmandaTrips]

Alrighty! Personally I love Lydia and Rose, Maxwell, I love him too. I stumbled over this video today and just wanted to say I love it and that I’m obsessed with the music and how it portrays the art and the story. You did amazing 💖

[@tetezinhageek2163]

Well, I don't have anything to discuss about this, because you said everything, and you're completely right. All I can say about this situation about the characters, is that the three of theme made mistakes and wrong decisions, and those actions had terrible consequences that we all know which they are.

[@kierabt224]

I got a question if this is meant to set up the reboot why is Aries a light blue well in the remake hes sort of darker blue of gray????

[@galemtido]

@@kierabt224 this was before I finalized all of the reboot designs :)

[@axelf9947]

_I ABSOLUTELY LOVE HOW EVERY CHARACTER IS COMPLEX AND HAS BELIEVABLE REASONS BEHIND THEIR ACTIONS AND BEHAVIORS FHFHFGH_

[@meadowfeather176]

Wow, Aries’ mom looks so much like Vivian in body shape / head shape. Now I’m thinking that Vivian inherited her grandma’s head / body shape, and her mom’s colors mixed with her dad’s colors. Jackson basically got his grandfather, Maxwell’s darker blue, mixed with the browns of his mom, and his general body shape matches with his dad. Very nice

[@nikkiknoderer3453]

Vivian also inherited her grandmother's pink eyes too.

[@cameronskinner5313]

Not to mention her grandfathers dorsal fin which is a feature within his new design

[@snowfiredraws]

Again, this is amazing and it makes you realize that things aren’t so black and white. Rose is definitely not the goody two shoes the light kingdom thinks. Not saying she’s a villain or anything, but she definitely didn’t even consider the consequences of her actions. She didn’t consider the danger she put Lydia through by telling her to go through with the assassination, even when Lydia saw Maxwell’s good side. She didn’t see the consequences of giving Maxwell a curse and definitely didn’t think she’d suffer the same fate. Rose wasn’t a bad cat, but she should have though her plans more thoroughly through.

[@aimlessopossum]

I don't hate Rose at all, she was just so blinded by her goal to stop her brother that she didn't fully realize the pain she caused. I'm not saying she's a good cat but she's a hell of a lot better then maxwell.

[@Basketballkidd870]

Fr

[@StardustGaming500]

Okay. Now THIS is amazing! Also, I've noticed this "Maxwell is the victim here" or "Rose is the true villian" comments and what not, but to true victims are Strike and Lillia! Strike was just trying to do what was right for his tribe, but his own son and Romulus ruined everything for him. Lillia was just trying to be a good mother, and had to watch her son turn into the villain. And no, I'm not taking sides on Maxwell or Rose here, yes they have roles, but both are victims to what has happened. They just reacted differently to the pain set on them.

[@illbringyoudown]

Rose really said "oh my brother has a wife? My wife now." (This is so well made aaaaa you've improved sm since ep 1 of TSH !! I am so excited for this story aaaaa)

It remains of that one song That has "you only want my sister" thing

[@AmandaTrips]

They’re not a couple. I honestly if they were healthy together would have loved to ship them together but they’re not. Rose manipulated Lydia into going through with her plan, causing her to get killed. While I do love Rose and Lydia and characters, and even Maxwell, they’re all toxic for eachother.

[@galactictoaster]

It actually warmed my heart to see Maxwell smile at his kittens,, even thought he wasnt a good cat.. it made my eyes water

[@aqurnus4404]

Hm? I see

[@blackbeauty2166]

To be honest I understand no character is fully good or bad. That's impossible, however I think because this pmv didn't show how he treats his subjects, people sorta assume he wasn't truly bad until he was officially cursed n Saw his wife was plotting against him. But that's just how I protray it. Still a good pmv though

[@ΝικοςΚαμαριωτης]

Yes, Maxwell was an absolutely terrible person/cat ,no questions asked! I just find it wierd and a bit funny as well though, that out of all the things Rose could curse Maxwell for, it was for him defending himself from Lydia , a thing that he is within his rights of doing, and not for being a tyrant or something like that. Also, Lydia appears to be very powerhungry and manipulative herself,so I didn't really feel sorry for her at all. I felt sorry for what all this meant for the kits,but not for her! It probably was not your intention,but that's how your portrayal made her seem to a lot of people apparently! So since Maxwell got his curse for defending himself from her,and not for aiding in his father's murder for example, it made Maxwell look like the victim in this one instance, and people feel bad for the victims in a story. The first impression as a result, is to defend him this one time,but later on when people think about his character as a whole, I'm sure they realize he is evil. This doesn't have anything to do with gender/sex either, since in the last video Maxwell was hated as far as I remember,and rightfully so, if not slightly shown putty for being manipulated.

[@galemtido]

@@ΝικοςΚαμαριωτης exactly! The point is you really shouldn’t be apologizing/siding/feeling bad for everyone. Each of the three are awful. awful characters but my whole argument is people are trying to make maxwell seem good and rose bad

[@IzziOriginal]

OH MY GOD THIS IS AMAZING!! The expressions of the characters, the story, the Tweening the shading?! THIS IS INCREADIBLE!! The way you draw cats and just in general is amazing, and I could probably go on about this for a while, It's just that good!!!

[@agentclare]

ok i'm actually gonna leave a serious comment now explaining to obviously, a young audience, why shipping rose and lydia isn't good, why maxwell shouldn't be sympathized with, and why rose isn't the victim but she also isn't an 'evil' character. rose and lydia aren't healthy together. rose used lydia to fuel and push her assassination plot against maxwell, which was fueled by grief and revenge. she manipulated lydia into staying with the plot, when she had just given birth to two kids. rose used the fact that lydia could seal her place as queen to her advantage into making her stay. they aren't the 'lesbian couple goals!!' that a lot of people like to say or push. this is coming from an actual lesbian. don't ship them. it implies not good things about alex and yourself. ship dusck and caroline instead. that's a healthy sapphic relationship in the series that needs more love. maxwell shouldn't be sympathized with. yes, he showed about a few seconds of ":-]" to his newborn children, but that was about it. remember, before the curse had even been placed, before he killed lydia, he was responsible for his fathers death. he aligned himself with romulus, and caused his family to be torn apart. he was power-hungry before the events of this pmv. he killed lydia out of anger and to piss off rose. then he goes on to kill kaylee and abuse ares. he's not a good guy. lastly, rose isn't the 'villian' here, but she's also not a saint. she allowed her emotions to get the best of her, and it ended up causing the entire war that is the driving plot point in this series. she wanted to kill maxwell for aiding in their father's death, and the creation of romulus' empire. what did this get her? well, she manipulated lydia and dragged her along, even when she wanted to leave. she was partly responsible for lydia's death. she refused to care for ares and kaylee after lydia was murdered, even when lydias spirit begged her. rose was responsible for the curse that would plague the land and cats for many years. her drive for revenge ended up furthering the deadly war. but it came with a price, as she got a curse aswell. anyway sorry for my info dumping and arguments, feel free to rebuttal ig in the replies if u want. lovely work as always big sis! it's amazing to see how far you've come from when i first met you

[@aimlessopossum]

^^^^ Yes this!! Oh my god I agree so much

[@megagodsavageredlion9772]

Thank you so much for explaining this. It makes a lot of sense.

[@iimangomuffin7409]

agent clare Mhm, very true.

[@killerr_queennn]

I agree with a lot of this, but you forgot to add in one detail, the curse. Maxwell only killed Kaylee and abused Ares and her because of that curse. He loves his kits, but after the curse he is just evil. None of the characters here are good or actually innocent, but that doesn’t make them completely bad.

[@agentclare]

Drydirt37 the curse didn’t cause maxwell to abuse his children and kill one of them. he was abusive before the curse. the curse never made him do anything.

[@CrystalLightEevee]

We can all agree No Character here is innocent And we Can't say who is the real villian I loved the video! The movements, the shading Everything! Amazing uwu

[@kelseygreene8882]

I say the kittens are innocent in this

[@breadman7837]

@@kelseygreene8882 the thing is the male kitten grows up into Ares. The she-kit dies (Idk if I’m thinking of the right child) Ares kills Rose and Iris, and thousands of other cats because he enjoys it. I feel Ares is just as bad as Maxwell. He plotted against his own father, drove out his kin, and killed thousands without another thought. I feel the only kit innocent is the she-kit. She dies before she can become a full-grown cat, and she did nothing wrong. Ares is every bit guilty as Rose or Maxwell. At least, that’s how I feel.

[@Atlasorsomething]

Yep!

[@zrainyday5266]

I would argue Lydia's father is innocent. Maybe he did other bad things in the actual series but all he does here is make rose see what she did

[@PixelSecret]

This was amazing, like how in the story its just one side is to blame, both sides can been seen as bad when you look at what they do on paper until you know the full story, plus the powers origins was interesting

[@beastmaster0934]

I feel like Rose was partially responsible for Lydia’s death If she hadn’t forced Lydia into that position, she wouldn’t have been killed But NOPE, Rose was so obsessed for revenge, that she caused someone’s death, and the whole Dark vs Light war to escalate further And when she was given the option to save Ares and Kaylee from Maxwell’s influence she refused

[@killerr_queennn]

Agreed! When she asked to have the curse placed on Maxwell, it was because he killed Lydia, not for all the other bad things he did. Also, Ares’s sister is Kaylee.

[@TheCynicalhound]

This is so well done! Along with the last PMV, this shows great insight on all of the things that went down before the events of the main story and the origins of the curse. Makes me realized how many family members Warlock must have lost given all of those necklaces on his neck. Awesome PMV. Can't wait for the reboot!

[@Starblast14]

THIS IS BEAUTIFUL AND AMAZING!! I love to see more of Rose's story. It make sense why Ares would want to kill Rose. Rose didn't raise them, which leads to Kaylee's death, and Ares's curse. What Rose did was...wrong. I could see that she's angry because Romulus had kill her father and corrupted her brother. But at the same time I could see concequences of her actions: Maxwell became a abusive father when he could've been a good dad, Lydia died, Ares was raised wrong when he could've had a normal life, it shows that even the smallest move everything could change. This is a beautiful PMV!! :D

[@st.rbiter]

I can't get over how good the storytelling in this is!! I barely know anything about these characters and the plot, and yet I can tell exactly what's going on through the whole video! And the fact that the story is being told in a non-chronological order makes it even more impressive:0

That part were rose saw the picture then flew back as she got hit with the curse gave me literal GOOSEBUMPS!

[@Eclipse5]

I like how nobody's really a good guy... Warlock causes the curse of both lights and darks out of spite, Lydia initially only gets involved with the kingdom and Maxwell for power, Rose caused the death of Lydia through pure manipulation when the queen was unsure what she was doing was right, and Maxwell, despite trying to make things better before the curse took place, does aid in killing his own father and watches as his sister runs away in terror with a smile, not even giving a damn when Romulus is killed. All of these cats have dirt on them, except for the kits who have their innocence taken away by these events.

[@JounoSaigikuIRL]

Aaaaa, this was so beautiful! I always wondered what happened to make Maxwell's eyes like that. I understand why rose acted like that when Lyida I feel bad for rose, Thanks for coming to my Ted talk

[@AshStarProductions]

When Ares ripped Maxwell’s throat out, and Maxwell started crying and hearing Ares’ angry words, was that the real/old him before the curse peaking through? Like as he was dying the genuine and caring person/father was kinda reawakened sorta?

[@veraovesereokoro3799]

Wait where did you see that?

[@swanfeathertheelder]

God the old version of the story in episode 1 of TSH pales in comparison to this, and how far you've come, gaLEMtido. I'm so proud of you!! Now there's no overused, abundantly obvious "good vs evil" in this. Maxwell and Romulus murdered a good person for power and forcibly overtook a society. Rose persisted in her revenge plot even after she had heard Maxwell turned over a good leaf, perhaps even becoming a benevolent king. Lydia chose power and Rose's revenge over her mate, kids, and the possible newly better future of the kingdom. I love how there's no good guy anymore; everyone is a victim of each other's misunderstandings and overambitions driving them to worse and worse situations. If the origin story is THIS good after a revamp, I can't even imagine how the revamp for the actual series must be going!!! So hyped!!!!

[@rainbowhawk911]

Just a moment to bring something to light here: I don’t condone Ares killing Rose in either versions of The Stolen Hope, but in the reboot, Rose refused to raise him and Kaylee, which might have stopped Maxwell from abusing them. It gives him a much more solid motivation to kill her than in the original and I really like that.

As well as a big background life of Maxwell and King Romulus.

I have no idea how you do it, but you always get the expressions you want on the characters, even if it sounds/looks easy, it's really not, and you're talented in that!Also baby Ares looks so innocent- He's adorable!

[@morningglory.2]

OH MY GOD THIS WAS INCREDIBLE

[@snaketortillas1091]

I loved this so much I love how the necklaces are made! I thought it was very creative I just can't get over how creative the pmv and tweening really is!!!!!

[@Artic58]

Me: attempts to make a pmv Also me: gives up and watches dis and saying “HOW! HOW! HOW THEY NOT GIVING UP!”

[@Artic58]

:)

[@KristenReviews]

Over a year later and this is still one of my favorite PMVs!!

[@miko6217]

Remember seeing the preview! So good!

[@raintable]

Omgosh you're here too

[@cocoaleaflings1046]

[@dragonsbanecannibal9378]

Would Ares And Kaylee Had A Different Story If They We're Raised By Rose?

[@pixel7512]

Yes and no

[@dragonstouch1042]

They probably would’ve stood a heck of a better chance

[@ratwithdragonwings]

Remember 2 wrongs don't make a right.

[@kaystar7610]

I good god i didn't realize how long ago this was posted, i managed to find this watch it then watch the entire series of tsh and then watch this again!

[@winterwolfgurl_]

yO THIS WAS EPIC

[@cherubspit]

GO YELLOW GIRL GO

[@ravenEEE2266]

Woah. Let me get this straight. So, Rose literally killed the Queen that was close to Maxwell, and made all the suffering, all the prophecies, all the curses, all if it? Rose, why!

[@axelf9947]

Rose was working with Lydia to try and assassinate Maxwell, but Maxwell found out and killed Lydia.

[@ravenEEE2266]

Oooooh

[@RipGoat]

I think it's wrong that rose planned to kill her own brother :/

[@RipGoat]

@Breezepelt the Banana ture i kinda have mix feeling about this video idk who's the bad guy and who's not. ?

[@wolfonthezoon]

@@RipGoat well nobody is really a bad guy but nobody is innocent either while you could make the arguement that maxwell had started this whole mess by helping king Romulus kill his dad thus creating the 2 kingdoms, but after creating a relationship with lydia, he was willing to change for the better but as you can see, rose and lydia just made the problem 100x worst. but you can still see that rose had good intentions but the wrong choice of actions.

[@mayarose9212]

Dang- Rose messed everything up.

[@biohazard4115]

THIS IS SO GOOD

[@briosscshields856]

This is intresting and beautiful! the music the movement EVERYTHING!!! its beauty!

[@grace_einstein1181]

Absolutely amazing. I love how this turned out 🥺💕

[@theartofkatelyn]

This is amazing! And I love the story telling so much! I was also curious to know... So does this story go along with the reboot or does it go along with the old version of the story? Because I know you made slight changes to the reboot compared to the old story.

[@galemtido]

it can be applied to both, but it’s purpose is to be catered to the reboot!

[@theartofkatelyn]

@@galemtido Awesome! :D

[@aroacefrog]

I have watched this multiple times already.This is an amazing pmv!

[@marvelous6447]

My real question is is how you stayed with the same storyline and OC’s I keep mine for a week and then move on

[@paintedpools4752]

S ame

[@PintoSwinto]

Me who has had the same OC’s for 2 years can’t relate.

[@axelf9947]

I make new ones every week ;-; I have like over a thousand different story drafts and characters to keep track of _HELP_

[@snifflepanda4884]

There are only two stories that I have that have stuck with me, one that’s 8 years old and another that’s about maybe 2 or 3. Other stories I had have either been discarded or forgotten (I have a very bad memory span unfortunately which is why i write down story ideas on my phone in case I forget)

[@miketeax_studios2070]

Bruh this is actually cool

[@fenrir7783]

You just reminded me about the whole series, and guess what it’s in my “up next”! The fact I was just going to re-watch it, such a coincidence
