If i had a nickel for everytime a new super well made and original stylized Mapleshade PMV using an upbeat song and cute aesthetics to cover up the dark story was uploaded, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.

[@opossumontheinternet9864]

What's the other one?

[@IHauntYourSocks]

Is the other one you’re referring to The Brady’s PMV?

[@birb70]

⁠@@opossumontheinternet9864’m *guessing* the Bradys pmv by Bok Bok Choy but I may be wrong (if I'm wrong then have 3 nickels then lol)

idk if this one counts (maybe partially) but this PMV by PetitPoisson also has an upbeat song and cartoony style in most of its shots: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2ipgamogbV6opI

this the only person i ever found who actually made mapleshade’s scar from which she died in the back of her head and not in neck

[@Littlefox1213]

Yeah I always thought it was her throat until reading her novella myself-

[@obbinss]

it's the same how people always portray scourge's kill on firestar as a neck wound when it instead was a blow to the head that killed him. i suppose it's just easier to convey it being a neck wound so people just do that instead

I LOVE how when Mapleshade kills Appledusk she looks shocked/a little upset, because in the books, she didn't mean to kill Appledusk (she meant to kill Reedshine) and was kinda horrified when she did. Thank you for including that!

[@imaginarylivingbody7154]

Why do people keep saying this. Appledusk was her original target, she only attacked Reedshine when she interrupted their confrontation. She always meant to kill Appledusk.

[@birb70]

@@imaginarylivingbody7154Did you read the book? :/

[@Onyxseyes]

@@imaginarylivingbody7154🫥 Lol no he wasn’t it’s literally mentioned on the official wiki that Maplesahde tried to kill Reedshine specifically so she could claim ownership over Appledusk

[@imaginarylivingbody7154]

@@birb70 Yes I did. Did you? Chapter 8 of her novella begins with her planning on getting Appledusk alone in RiverClan territory so she can kill him. Her internal dialogue/narration is focused on killing Appledusk. She only goes after Reedshine when she interrupts their confrontation.

[@imaginarylivingbody7154]

@@Onyxseyes Then the wiki is wrong. Mapleshade’s internal dialogue/narration/actions were focused on making sure Appledusk would be alone so she could kill him. She only goes after Reedshine when she shows up. That’s when she says Appledusk was hers. Appledusk was her original target, trying to kill Reedshine was an impulsive action.

OMG I LOVE THIS STYLE FDKJGHSDFKJGHDFKGJHSD I love how goofy n fun this entire thing is, despite the sad and dark events of the story, makes me feel like Mapleshade is almost in denial of the horrible things done to her by the other cats, like the only thing that happened was she gets her revenge without showing the event that caused her to break. Maybe looking too far into it but I like it go Mapleshade go girlboss

[@littlelemon3465]

Lyrics: It was the 36th time that he'd broke my heart It was the 80th time that I'd fallen apart I knew from the start it was gonna be rough But not as painful as this Once I didn't have money Twice I forgot his name Then I put on my makeup wrong My hair was a big mess, and so was my dress I remember those nights I was feeling real down But then a chance would soon come around It was the 36th time that he'd broke my heart It was the 80th time that I'd fallen apart I knew from the start it was gonna be rough But not as painful as this Once he asked for my number Twice he asked for my name But I was nervous and lost my mind I gave him my number, but it was my Mom's I remember those nights I was feeling real down But then a chance would soon come around Got to move on! I don't know I don't know, I don't know, I don't know! Got to move on, but I don't think I can carry on, though! Couldn't go on, no I couldn't go on Seemed like my life was falling apart It was the 36th time that he'd broke my heart, or was it 37, or 38 YEOW! I remember way back When my life was laid back No obligations, or responsibilities Didn't have to work or, didn't have no chores Only thing I had in mind was looking good each day Then my life was rolling Had to work each morning "Pay the bills" and "walk the dog" became my daily life But the more you suffer, you feel better when it's over, that's for sure! And so when pain comes along, just go with the flow Don't turn your back to your problems, just give it a go Your troubles in life will eventually serve you as a drop of spice in your life! It was the 36th time that he'd broke my heart It was the 80th time that I'd fallen apart I knew from the start it was gonna be rough But not as painful as this! When pain comes along, just go with the flow Don't turn your back to your problems, just give it a go Your troubles in life will eventually serve you as a drop of spice in your life!

Holly cow, does this just explode with personality and style! The expressions are so great, it gives me an almost Misadventures of Flapjack style when all of the sudden the cartooney changes to a detailed style! Absolutely amazing!

[@Bear_Song]

OH MY GOSH every aspect of this is amazing! I absolutely love your artstyle! It’s so unique- I don’t see styles like this in animation much at all! You draw them super expressively. I love the way they go from cute and cartoony to darker and more detailed with more shading when they’re feeling a certain way. The artstyle changes during some points of the video add so much emotion, and I love it! The little comic-book style dots are an amazing addition to the style as well. The backgrounds are absolutely beautiful. They have a lot of detail, and compliment the characters so well! I absolutely love the way you draw each and every detail in this video, everything is just so pleasing to look at! The animation and storytelling is incredible, too! The animation matches the song and lyrics so well, and it’s incredibly well timed. I can’t imagine how long this animation must’ve taken, every drawing has a lot of detail and is animated really fluidly. The storytelling is incredible, too! I especially love how when Mapleshade turns her back at 2:32 you can see the gash in the back of her neck. And the way the brown in her design turns to purple when she’s a ghost is so smart and looks very nice! I love the recurring dance that Maple does at 0:26. It’s so expressive and the way it sometimes changes throughout the video as the story goes on is so smart! Every scene in this video was really recognizable and it was easy to tell what was going on. Mapleshade’s emotions and states of mind are so well expressed throughout, as well! It’s really clear to see how she changes as a character. All in all, this is an absolutely amazing Mapleshade PMV and one of my favorites! It’s such a nice take on the character and the story that subverted my expectations in the best way possible! The character designs, storytelling, and drawing style/animation are top-notch. You’re extremely talented and underrated. New sub! ❤️✨

[@Rulose]

This is incredible !!! You should feel so proud of your self this is awesome!! But seriously your videos are always a treat to see there always visually appealing, as you have amazing color pallets to depict the theme and feeling and all the sences poses and faces that you make are so Express so much emotion, And I have to add you pick amazing songs and audios that work perfectly with not just your art but with the characters you choose for them! I love how this accurately displays Mapleshades character! Seriously i love and enjoy your work so much and I really admire it!! Truly amazing job!!❤❤❤
