JOHANNA EXPLAINED - Plot Analysis, Q&A, and MAP Tips + Advice!

Thank you so much to everyone who helped the Johanna MAP get to 1 million views! Once again, I seriously can't thank you guys enough! I get a lot of questions about what is going on in the MAP and other general questions, so I figured I'd make a little something to help you understand the MAP in a new light.
JOHANNA is a MAP that focuses on Tawnypelt, the heavy decisions she had to make regarding her direct family, and how those decisions impacted those around her.

[@roseshards]

Sorry for the audio quality! My computer fan was really annoying and I tried to edit it out but it kinda screwed up the audio a bit... I hope it's not too distracting! I'll have to get better equipment if I do these videos in the future haha On a side note, I'll try to answer a ton of Johanna questions here that I didn't get to answer in the video!

[@Shiara_draws]

Not bad

[@sinister_cat2486]

The audio was fine to me. I really like your art btw!

[@ravenstars8013]

Most of those views were from me XD I said in a live I loved Ur Johanna map

[@bitteralmonds2614]

The whole red star thing would explain why Tawnypelt later retired from being deputy, because she didn't want to be leader. She remembered Tigerstars terror and how Brambleclaw, now Bramblestar got into the mess due to Tigerstar, and she didn't want to be a part of that power hungry family.

[@ongren1575]

PREACH- I LIVE FOR THAT MUSICAL

[@blossomdazzle]

I always thought that the parts of the MAP with Goldenflower freaking out in Tawnypelt’s flashback was because she was afraid that Tigerclaw/Tigerstar would hurt her kits.

[@blossomdazzle]

Yeah, she did absolutely nothing to deserve this much pain from Tigerstar. Poor Goldenflower. :(

I am so sorry but as a Polish girl: I see red star - I think "Soviets" XD

Poke Damn, I thought they were different things

[@PokemonkaDub]

@@CDforArts Not really. I mean Soviets WERE cuminists, and were the ones spreading it. The ones the most associated with hard core communism, gulags, syberia, URRS etc... and rightfully so. So it's like the exact same group of associations / same thought xD

[@shiny_totodiiles5245]

The explanation is super thorough! You did a great job explaining and the art is also fabulous! Johanna is one of my favorite if not my absolute favorite Warriors MAP and its simply because of the hard work and love that went into it! Keep up the amazing work Roseshards!

[@coyotix]

Im in awe of your ability to use purple as a main shading color and not make it look off, I see a lot of people doing it and think "If the background isn't purple, it doesn't make sense" but when you do it it's PERFECT

[@user-xh8ci4yg3u]

I love the explanation it’s so creative I love your maps

[@theunknownartist9776]

Okay thank you for clearing up who was the Grey cat that Goldenflower was freaking out on, i thought it was gray stripe at first😂

[@Astraland06]

After being almost done reading the first arc, I finally understand this map! I spent 1 or 2 years watching it without knowing what was going on. But I still loved it! And now that I understand, and recognize the characters I love the map even more!

I am so so proud that johanna hit 1 million views, and I'm incredibly happy to be a part of it!! Thank you so much for hosting such a wonderful map!!!!

[@Velvetzienz]

Also thanks for the tips on how to host a map, I’ve always struggled with it because it’s so hard to get some people to get their parts done (and that’s coming from me lmao)

[@0xenfreeArt]

As someone who wanted to host a map for a long time, the end advice really encouraged and motivated me

[@Elkemistical]

This was really helpful! I've been planning on a Goldenflower map, but its been a huge struggle to plan and organize, and ive had the idea for MOnthS. Since i am a small channel, im kinda really feeling what you said at 11:43 rip. Thank you so much for these map hacks! (do you have anything about co-hosting though? im co-hosting the map with someone, but they arent contributing to its creation and im having to do everything :( what do i do??)

[@olgapolyakovarus9253]

Welcome, TawnyStar.

[@stingthescribe3681]

Thanks for this video! You really put a lot of thought into the themes of this MAP- Tawnypelt's one of my all-time favourite characters in Warriors, and seeing her represented in depth makes me so happy, seeing how she gets such little screen time in the books.

[@muichiwa9603]

Thank you so much for the advice! Ever since I've seen your videos, I've wanted to do MAPs! You inspire me, and once I learn how to animate, draw better, and get a digital sketchpad, I hope I can join one of your MAPs. One question I have is if you can make a Bravelands MAP? In case you don't know what it is, Bravelands is a new book series that Erin Hunter made. It is an AMAZING series and deserves more attention! If not, I completely understand. Thank you again!

[@ivyshadesnursery]

Awwwwww!!! Goldenflower is such a good and caring mother

honestly i love this video and everything you said especially the map host and participant advice. ive gone back so many times to fix inconsistencies, in one of my most recent parts i had to mirror the whole scene for it to match the part following it. youre an amazing host and i love this video

[@virus-eiiz]

I'm so glad my question got into the video! ;o This is such a brilliant MAP idea! I feel like Tawnypelt is pretty underrated, the song fit very well with her situation, and the animators did such a nice job my goddd

[@Taigalaxy]

i'm reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally far from being into the warior cat fandom but tbh, your MAP is what made me want to actually get into it ( thOUGH I STILL DIDN'T FIND MY BOOK BACK ) cause it was really one of the best map I've ever seen ?? The song choice was also super great and just, everything felt just so right together, and I truly enjoy it again and over again Congratulations for the 1 000 000+ views !

[@toebits1569]

No, thank YOU. You and lots of other great people have inspired me to make a MAP, even if I don’t know how to animate very well yet. I’ve never done a MAP before, but I’m planning to, even if I might make tons of mistakes. My MAP will probably be a beginner’s MAP, and ANYONE is allowed to join as long as they are nice people. I don’t care if they’re not the best at animating yet, that doesn’t matter to me. As long as we enjoy ourselves in the MAP, then I’m happy. But do know that if you are being a jerk I have every right to kick you out, like Rose said. Thank you again, Rose, for giving such good tips. And I’m sorry if this seems like I’m advertising for my MAP, I’m not meaning to be rude. I would delete the comment if you asked me to, by my iPad doesn’t let me delete my comments for some reason, but I would still try. ✨Best wishes,✨ ~Raincatcher The Hybrid~

The song is from the play/musical (based on an old book) called Sweeney Todd. It’s great I went to it yesterday and highly recommend seeing it if it comes to a theatre near you :)

I don’t mind I couldn’t hear it when I was watching the video. It was great and I hope you keep making content

[@eugiius]

❤️❤️❤️ I’m so proud of this project !!!

[@Coffeii]

I was so confused of the Johanna MAP. I needed explanation. I thought that the brown cat that always hangs out with Johanna (I just named her Johanna ) was a spirit that still hung around with her after he was killed by the black cat. And that's why he was see through after that. I thought that the light brown cat wanted more attention from her since she always goes with that brown cat, crossing the road to the other side, and that he loved her but she would always leave and pay no attention. They were strongly close as kittens, and they grew up together, and I thought that tan cat was a burden because they thought she was crazy. I don't know what I was thinking, but I'll find out later in the video! Edit: OK.......ummm.......I completely understand it now.......OH MY FREAKING GOD THIS IS SO GOOD! OH MY HOLY MOLY MACARONI POOP FNSJDEIDN OH MY GOD! I LOVE THIS! I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT!!!!! OOOOOOO! IM GONNA DIE! HELP! HELP! AHHH! HELP IM GONNA!- (Drops dead) But hold on I have a question: What the songs say things that relate to the story- that's kind of odd. Do you pick them and they are already have them in there or do you add them? Ik its a dumb question but, come on, IT RELATED TO WHAT THEY SAY IN THE STORY! AT THE RIGHT TIME! Isn't that a little- odd? Do you guys pick the songs that say things similar to the story? I'm confused. Also I have one more comment: WHO NEEDS A WARRIOR CATS BOOK, WHEN WE HAVE AMAZING PEOPLE LIKE ROSESHARDS, SAGAYOTOUS OR HOWEVER YOU SPELL IT, AND GLITCH SIXXLE THAT MAKE AMAZING MAPS TO EXPLAIN THE STORY! Its crazy how a whole chapter book can be animated and explained into a video that's max eight minutes? Sorry for wasting people time reading this long comment, but thanks anyways! I NEEDED THIS VIDEO! ITS THE ONLY MAP I DIDNT UNDERSTAND TYSM ROSESHARDS MY HEAD WAS EXPLODING TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT YOUR THE BEST LOVE YOU!!!!

Wonderful drawing, Chloe! Tysm for the advice and answers. Keep up the great work. Also, congratulations on 1M views for Johanna! It isn’t easy even reaching 10k views, so a million is a big whoop! Keep on shining, and remember that no matter what, your fans will always stick with you no matter what happens!

You need more than 70k. Heck you should have more than 1M subs. You are such a good artist! You deserve way more subs, views, likes etc. I love your style so much! I hope in the future you have way more subs and stuff. Ik I’m probably late watching with this video but from what I’ve seen (I have watched your YT way more than it says since this is a new YT I have) anyway what I think I’m trying to say is I love your art style and you are a amazing artist that deserves way more (I’m tired as hell and couldn’t think of the word T-T).

[@Nicohakuu1]

I never really understood Tawnypelt. Most of Thunderclan thought of her as " daughter like father" due to her looks and couldn't trust her not to behave the same way. So what does she do? Proves her clanmates "correct" by joining sides with her father? Afterwards those who were suspicious of her got fuel to the fire. Did she want to know and see herself whether her father actually was as bad as everybody said he was? Or did she just simply have "If I'm gonna do the time I might as well do the crime" attitude to piss off her former clanmates.

[@Snailtooth]

I’ve actually always loved the idea of a Johanna map/PMV/amv of Thistleclaw! I’m not gonna go to much into the script I have (since I’m thinking of doing a PMV myself) but basically Brambleclaw would be a younger Thistleclaw, back when he wasn’t really “evil”. The Tawnypelt in those parts would be Snowfur. As for Tigerclaw, that would be Thistleclaw after Snowfur’s death, and the Tawnypelt in that would be Spottedpaw/leaf!

Something else that a lot of people tend to forget is that Swiftpaw was actually Goldenflower's kit as well, so it must have been completely crazy for her to have Tigerstar be responsible for death but then still defend other kits from being judged because of his actions. So it makes even more sense that she's completely paranoid and bonkers in this MAP.
