✰Je Te Pardonne✰ - COMPLETE Squirrelflight & Ashfur Warriors AU MAP

It's here!
This is an AU in which Ashfur apologizes for his actions, while Squirrelflight can't fully forgive him she accepts his apology which lets him into StarClan. In this timeline none of the Broken Code events occur, the script was written before when he lacked a legit reason to be in StarClan so AU time. (I'd like to add that the ending isn't implying that she lied or causes any later events to happen, he did do a lot of things so it's to say she accepted the apology but it's too much to fully forgive. If this AU Ash saw he'd be like "yeah fair".)
Additionally this isn't a shipping MAP, it's a "Ashfur admits to his mistakes and Squirrelflight accepts an old clanmate's apology"-MAP.
Go give the participants lots of love and supportm they all did wonderfully, this project wouldn't be here without them!
And big thank you to Pretzelmintz for helping with the french translation for the subtitles!

I don’t think people understand the outdo completely. I see people saying “she lied and didn’t accept his apology,” but I don’t think that’s the case. I believe she did accept his apology, only to an extent, but acknowledges that Ashfurs actions aren’t excused. I see it as more of a “love the person, hate the crime.” She forgives Ashfur, but can’t excuse his actions.

I LOVE the symbolism with Squirrelflight wiping her hands clean at the end! She's done what she felt she needed to and now she wants to leave Ashfur and all he did on that riverbank. It's also neat that you left it as an after credits scene, since you don't technically need it for the MAP to seem finished (and we know many don't stay until the end of the credits), but for those who do see it it kind of frames the whole MAP as, again, Ashfur interpreting things however he wants and missing the big picture. He sees Squirrelflight forgiving him. He doesn't see her wiping her hands clean of him after he's gone.

[@CookyTired]

I also felt this. I was wondering if Sagutoyas waited to finish as far as he/she could into the series. Don't continue reading if you haven't, but Ashfur is bad I belive. I looked it up on wiki. He was the imposter. So I'm wondering if this was added to show how Squirrelflight couldent care less about him anymore and just acted to send him off. It would also align with her character traits because honestly...squirrelflight is a character iv never liked. Far too much secrecy and dumb things involved with her.

[@cicadeus7741]

Something stirred in squirrelflight. As the emotions that had stirred within her ebbed away, and the scent of her old friends blood filled her nostrils, she coudnt help the resentment building with in her. Ashfur. Who she had nearly given her life over to. Who tore the clan apart, who tried to kill her- well, leafpools kits. Who tried to murder her father. She didnt have to let go of all of that. She was allowed to be mad. His death only prevented more damage to her family. Glancing at the smeared blood on her paw, she curled her lip. He deserved this, he had hurt her too many times. She smeared it across his pelt, and turned. With one last bittersweet glance back at ashfur she thought "I wont forget you. Or what you did."

[@SmurfleTheSmurf]

I’m sorry that’s really good but that’s not really what happened, as some others said, she wiped the blood on Ashfur’s fur to show that he made the mistakes, not her. It’s completely fine if you changed your mind or something but just wanted to point out that.

My depiction of the end scene: Just because Squirrelflight forgave Ashfur it doesn't mean his actions were justified. Squirrelflight rubbing the blood back onto Ashfur's pelt symbolizes that the blood is still on Ashfur's paws.

[@StaviaStar]

That after credits scene gave me a lot of emotions. How I see it is Squirrelflight sobering up to remember the horrible actions he committed. Obviously his apology won’t solve things, but he apologized nonetheless, and both are able to put their dark past behind them - him moving on into Starclan and her wiping his blood off her paws and leaving his husk of a body behind - and look towards the future. And honestly, I see this amazing MAP as a beginning to an even bigger AU than just a sincere apology. I see it as Ashfur separating two sides of himself: the good spirit that sees sense in his actions and admits to his faults, thus granting him peace in Starclan, and the bad, the truly despicable and inexplicable side of him, not shown but stuck in his corpse. The bad side of him stays on earth as a ghost, left to wander forever. Annnddd... fast forward to The Broken Code... Bramblestar loses a life, and the bad side of Ashfur sees a chance, an opportunity. All the while the good side of Ashfur has no clue what the other side of him is about to unleash...

[@addisonzike6105]

I love the symbolism of the whole map of where she wipes her paws clean, this entire MAP says that she will wipe her paws clean, she will forgive but never forget what he did. It’s such a beautiful way of her letting go, and not living in the past. So instead she will wipe her paws clean and let him go. I believe she wants him to finally be free and not carry that burden of what he has done, so instead she lets him rest in star clan by saying she forgives him.

I've seen all those maps and pmv and amvs about how troubled, disturbed their relationship has been and how bad it ended, that it was now really well known by my mind ahah. Today i can say that this project really surprised me, a kind of surprise which didn't happen since the 5 giants, this alternative ending made feel certain emotions that even to someone who lived on...maps, amvs, pmv, memes of the warriors without knowing a thing, could feel. I think that's a great acdhievement, you all did a wondeful job and had the brave to bring to life something not written in a book, or made into a video. GREAT GREAT JOB !

Same… I still look up to their talent, but not them as a person anymore. They were definitely one of my hugest inspirations. I hate watching videos from bad people but in the case of MAPs I do simply because of the effort and work out in from others.

If y'all didnt know the french part is basicly sayin "I have suffered please forgive me" Wih then the girl that sings says "I forgive you" but like the part that says "You did not see right from wrong" and "Its time for me to move on" Its basicly saying That she forgives him but then reminding him of his actions and not completly frogiving him. Wich is pretty much what happened

I'm still shaking by the fact my drawing is the thumbnail of this amazing map. Thank you so much, you've been such an idol for me for the longest time, it's such an honour Everyone did such great good jobs portraying each scene: the animation, the different styles, and the transitions were *chef's kiss* Really happy seeing this done, the wait was more than worth it and each artist did an awesome job!

There are very few animations and maps in this fandom that make me cry. This is one of them. Sally, This map is one of the best multi-animator videos you’ve hosted. It’s one of the best I have ever seen. The music, the animation, the background, it’s just gorgeous. The scenes with the characters crying and hugging, uggghhh. Hit me with the feels. I love it. Sally, you should feel very proud of yourself, and the other animators. I’m amazed at this. Well done all.

[@katiehunnes5136]

My interpretation of the end credits scene is while Squirrelflight (mostly) forgives Ashfur, she realizes nothing can redeem his actions, and the blood isn’t on her own paws.

[@mako_1135]

0:20 I just really love SquirrelFlight's expression here like you can see he's hurt her but she still can't let what she used to feel for him go and like I've felt that before where I hate this person because they've hurt me time and time again but I can't just let them go as I've been close friends with them, then again we've sorted things out because we were both kids and being really petty but none the less I still love that I hate you but I care for you expression.

[@alphadoggrito]

Gosh this MAP is so gorgeous I'm so glad I was here for the premiere, everyone's parts were absolutely spectacular! Definitely one of my favorite MAPs of the year! I especially love what you did with the ending! At first I took it as a nod to Brambleclaw, that Ashfur's not the only cat who's wronged her and that he should be apologizing too. But then I remembered his contributions to Firestar's capture in the trap and it added that layer to it! It's like she's saying "I forgive you for some things, but you certainly aren't receiving any for taking one of my father's lives." Amazing concept all around, everyone please support every participant involved! :)

[@mightyleafster]

Oh lord that ending is chilling, I adore how squirrelflight doesn't fully forgive him cause of all the pain he caused her. Everyone did so wonderful on their parts

[@hi__2]

2:00 Kinda sounds like their saying ''No talk to ash'' and as he snaps at fern Aswell :C

[@sophiesuncatcher]

my interpretation of the after-credits scene: after Ashfur leaves, Squilf begins to sober up as she remembers some of the things that Ash has done. this is symbolized by the little reminders that she sees (the bloody stake, the embers of a fire in the air). she looks down at the blood on her paw and wipes it on Ash’s fur, because, although she forgives him, she knows that the blood is not “on her hands;” Ash is still responsible for his mistakes, not she. (btw the MAP is gorgeous and well worth the wait. amazing job EVERYONE!! 💛💛)

[@IDK098]

[@mataschmata]

the ending credit scenes was such an amazing addition. though the positivity that surrounds this map is there it still makes it _very_ clear that what ashfur did wasn't, and never will be okay. squirrelflight's grief, and her choice that was an act of mercy, was _not fueled by guilt,_ but by the friendship they had before that, and their clanmate relationship

[@VentilianVexus]

this map turned out so lovely! the atmosphere, the lip sync, character designs and lighting was all absolutely gorgeous! it was definitely worth the wait, the quality in everyones part was just MMMM CHEFS KISS good job everyone! definitely one of my favorite maps now

[@flamindorito]

amazing map

[@saturn1331]

I'll admit, I was nervous about how this MAP was going to be handled after the latest arc and it's events showed Ashfur to be... Well, not a character that deserves forgiveness. Thankfully, I was completely blown away by both the MAP itself and the post-credits scene, the latter of which having been handled so respectfully and responsibly that I'm beyond impressed. Thank you for giving not only a tear to my eye, a beautiful experience for us all, and justice to Squirrelflight and her trauma involving Ashfur. It means so much to people like me that her experiences, and their aftermaths, weren't erased in the name of AU. ❤

[@Lucifersfreeduck]

Ashfur: Sorry for nearly killing your adoptive kids. Squirrelflight: I forgive you Ashfur in A Light In The Mist: SIKE! YA THOUGHT BITCH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!

[@jayus4516]

Can i just say - this is a really good AU for Squilf. In most maps, she's either a complete bitch, a pushover, or an emotionless cat who's only Personality trait is taking in some kits - (Before you reply, yes that's a joke smh) with no in-between. In cannon, Squilf is pretty complex, but one thing she definitely /is/, is forgiving. This isn't always a good thing *cough*bramblestar*cough*, but it's pretty nice to have a map that shows this.

[@missoli]

edit: the fact people babysat this video just to dislike is pathetic What makes this even more special is that as a host you kept the map going, no matter what went wrong. It was quite the process to be able to get all the parts in, with people dropping out and/not getting their part done it’s easy to give up. But the fact you pushed along to completion is so inspiring. I personally am not extremely familiar with the warriors characters, arches, relationships, etc, etc, despite me drawing them all the time lol, but this made it easy to understand the story despite it being an AU as well! FANTASTIC job everyone, well worth the wait.

[@motherhen592]

I know! Everyone did so good ✨

[@kharshiWvarrier]

I remember my mom used to say that "Always forgive that person who hurts you, but never trust them back"....this whole map really tells it... amazingly done 🌟🌟🌟

[@spacecarousels4730]

The art combined with this song is so utterly beautiful, I saw the different languages as a separation in worlds, how Ash speaks French as he's dead, and Squirrel speaks English as she's alive.

[@AspenShadow]

Also *slaps the top of Ashfur’s corpse* this bad boy can fit so much stupid in it

[@sodo_mizer]

I like how at the end she does like know what Ash did and just wipes off the blood on him, but like EVERYONE did amazingly!! This map is so beautiful!

[@sparrow_moon1110]

In my honest opinion, this is what SHOULD of happened, Ashfur apologizing for what he's done he wasn't always a bad cat, and I think his death should've been his wakeup call that he went down the wrong path and goes to Squirrelflight to admit to his faults, and apologize A bittersweet ending and a perfect one for his arc, as we don't often see redemption in these kinds of characters and then maybe the Broken Code wouldn't of happened, and instead we could've gotten a massive generation leap into the future where the cycle repeats with a kittypet joining the clans.. but they try to change the way the clans work

[@xpebblestarx7674]

Awww this is adorable I wish this accultuly happened in the books. I always have felt sad for ashfur

THIS MAP WAS SEXY Everyoe did and outstanding and the transitions were f a n t a s t i c The credits with the stars was very creative and I love that Although I was a bit confused about the outro so If someone could explain that,

[@AR-K9]

She doesn't forgive him, at least fully and honestly. She looks over at the blood-stained pick laying on the ground, which Ashfur was responsible for taking one of her father's lives. She wipes his blood back onto his body, showing she takes back what she said, and that all the fault lies with him. (That's my take, at least. If you've read Darkness Within or any of The Broken Code, you would know why she doesn't forgive him at all)

[@user-xl2ru5dq6r]

I think it shows that Squirrelflight forgives him for the whole fire scene fiasco, but not fully because of what he did to Firestar

[@justalemon8173]

@@AR-K9 Well yes, but even if she took back what she said it would still be before the broken code. So It would not have been for that reason. I think the real reason she pretended to accept ashfur's apology is so she could sing AAIEIEIAIAIIAIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEE out loud with no-one questioning it ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[@justalemon8173]

@@user-xl2ru5dq6r That does make sense

[@AR-K9]

@@justalemon8173 lol yeah, it would take place before the broken code you’re right! But I guess she looks over at the pick because she does know what he did to Firestar while Ashfur still believes she doesn’t know. It would have been interesting if they included Ashfur noticing Squilf looking upset and wiping his blood back on his dead body, giving him a new reason to be angry and come back in the new books.

Remember: if a person feels bad for what they did to you, it is NOT your job to make them feel better

The little detail with the appering star when ashfur disappears to go to starclan just show how much detail and effort that was put in this map Its like when you get into starclan you can be seen as a littural star on silverpelt!

[@sync8263]

I come back to this occasionally and I still really appreciate the juxtaposition of Squirrelflight forgiving Ashfur and specifically saying via the song that she’s moving on while Ashfur’s only takeaway is that she’s forgiven him for everything. Yet in the end we can see that she chose to forgive him even though it was hard so that she could, literally, wipe her hands of him and get on with her life. That post credits scene was a really brilliant addition and it’s my favorite part of the whole MAP because it totally changes the tone
