My Way - Needletail MAP

THIS MAP INCLUDES HEAVY SPOILERS FOR WARRIORS - A VISION OF SHADOWS, ESPECIALLY SHATTERED SKY.
This Multi Animator Project tells the story of Needletail as she's facing death and remembers what she holds dear in her life.
__________
Ok fIRST OF ALL can I just say how pleased I am with this MAP? :^D Thanks for helping my channel become a shrine for Needletail
But in all seriousness I was getting all hyped as people started turning their parts in and every single one looked amazing! As far as I can remember not that many people dropped out (and those who did informed me about it instead of just ignoring me forever).
aNYWAYS thank you all (viewers included) for helping this project come to life! Links to the channels of every participants should be right at the bottom of the description!

[@Northflowo]

I'm not responsible for you spoiling yourself :^)

[@someabominationfromanother3190]

Northflower but you problably is responsible for taking my sleep away

[@Plumedeglace]

Northflower I wanna spoil myself more: what's Needltail's "love" name?

[@irelandjackson2340]

Yea I’ve practically finished the series with how many spoilers I’ve watched

[@sophiab6258]

Not like it was in the title or the video...

[@sllyjuice6378]

I'm on Shattered Sky like holy crap needletail

[@cinnababy6331]

The best thing about this map is how perfectly it sums up Needletail as a character. She was stubborn, brazen, passionate, and made poor choices. In the end, she paid for it with her life. But she doesn’t regret any of it because that’s how she *chose* to go out. She didn’t follow _anyone’s_ rules but her own, and lived and died her way. She made her mark. And that's all that matters to her.

[@for3stspirit]

Kinda wish she lasted longer... I liked having a grumpy, stubborn feline in another Clan.

[@ryin1959]

@@for3stspirit to be honest I agree,

[@quailez7608]

She was stubborn but........ I love the way Needletail is affectionate towards Violetshine in her way...♡

[@sugarrmoon]

I was looking forward to see a needlestar; mostly because she had that leader spirit. She didn't listen to an opinion she thought was wrong, she sas brave and strong. She would sacrifice herself for the ones she cares about; I think if she lived longer there may have been a needle star.

[@lindsay7883]

I really love Needletail. She was so cool to read about. Her relationship with Violetshine was awesome to read. I bawled my eyes out when Needletail died.

[@FatefulOleander]

I kinda wish Needletail didn't die, she had a unique name and a grumpy character that wasn't JayFeather was refreshing. She's by far one of my favorite cats, and while I'm happy she died a Warriors' death I still think she should've been alive to see her clan survive.

[@willfraud]

I liked her attitude and independence. Plus she was so pretty and strong. She had an amazing personality/she was interesting and unpredictable. I wish the Erins just sat doiwn and asked themselves" Do we really wanna kill her off??" Needletail was the best ugh. Same with Hollyleaf, they had potential, and Harper Collins blew it.

[@soomiko]

A it

[@clementine929]

I agree, she never really got the chance to work out the other problems, plus am I the only one that kinda shipped Needletail with Alderheart (idk probably bad idea for yet ANOTHER med cat to break the code...)

[@shallowsuns]

Nyxin i legit felt bad for violetshine (paw) when she was running away, it was so sad-

[@stoppedposting8239]

I want her to atleast be mentioned in the broken code.

[@mashytato8776]

Dude Needletail is so underrated I'm glad she finally got attention

[@the3cookies256]

True

[@Meowmiew_]

hallelujah to that one

[@phiovorix1246]

Now she’s everyone’s edge baby

[@Levi_Lime8]

She has to be the most inspiring character

[@mashytato8776]

Madisen Prestegard twins! 🥺

[@lexiethetexieservicedog5610]

I can’t stop crying. Needletail was always a favorite of mine. I cried during her death, and now with this video (which I must have watched a hundred times now) I’m crying again. That scene had to have been the saddest one I’ve read in any of the books. And the noblest. She knew she would die well before she was given an out. And I half expected her to go for the out but when she turned it around my respect for her just skyrocketed at the same time as my heart plummeted because she was definitely dead now... I loved Needletail so much. RIP poor bby...

[@vday2259]

"Run! Now! Make this count, Violetpaw!" the last words that were spoken by a true hero

[@HiHi-lt1cb]

That lines makes me tear up every time I think about it, probably my favorite quote from Warriors to be honest!

[@druidshollow]

AH everyone who joined did so good???? wtf??? i am so honoured to be in this map with yall! it looks awesome!!

[@pretzel_bites7434]

puzzlii what is the song called and who is it from I want to know because I love the music

[@galaxymilk2069]

wolf lover Frank Sinatra, my way minor key

[@izzyfennec8163]

Me: Sees Amazing MAPs Me: Wants to be in one Me: Realizes I’m not good enough Me: Hosts my own MAP Me: Relizes that it’s not as good Me: Laughes in sadness (Parts are still open!)

Oooo it's puzzlii the legend

[@skiakardia3966]

Pepper My Way (Cover by Chase Holfelder)

[@ashoul3059]

This map shows how really strong Needletail was. I adored the last parts of the map

[@silentspecter9026]

Hey guys mega spoilers ok don’t read if you haven’t finished the series- Hollyleaf and Firestar die in Infinity War 😭😭😭😭😭 EDIT: nice work by the way

[@kingnamor7777]

Silent Specter In your point of view. In my opinion the Last Battle never happened. In isn't The power of three(true member Hollyleaf) redeem the dark forest cats like Thirthclaw and Mapleshade. Omen of star is just weak arc and many fans agree as well.

[@katie0707]

Firestar don’t wanna go

[@for3stspirit]

"Sandstorm, I don't feel so good..."

[@katie0707]

For3st Spirit *Fades into stars*

[@mista2338]

Silent Specter really

[@cranberrythecat4555]

This was amaaaazingggg!!! The song started out so slow and atmospheric, but as the tempo increased, each part just got more and more intense, and I was hooked until the very end! (I especially love the purple color palette here.) Everyone who participated should be very proud of themselves!

[@coffeecat4173]

Cranberry the Cat i totally agree! 👌👍

[@beanbeanowo8660]

Needtail's death made me cry. even if she was against the clans for a bit

[@goldenbreeze-]

Same

[@-shrimpinawagon-7934]

Damn that last shot of NeedleTail being killed, actually sent chills down my spine.. This is so amazing..

[@catmintYT]

omG this came together so perfectly and it all looks amAZING ;0; tYSM for letting me be a part of this beautiful map!

[@chino2605]

catmint I really loved your part

[@fabtasticdomino8137]

This turned put amazing!!!! Shes such a good character!!

[@strawbby8784]

FABtastic Domino What about Dovewing >u>

[@sarrynight]

Agreed Domino, I felt her death was a little unexpected and dreaded because this Tom-girl cat character was probably one of the only characters I actually was drawn to XD

[@-lemon-2597]

Zuui no one said anything about Dovewing??

[@strawbby8784]

- lemon - T'was only a joke

[@willfraud]

- lemon - dovewing is a Mary sue

[@raiqrose]

I used to hate her so much but this changed my mind I'm literally sobbing right now.. The song fits her perfectly.

[@SearTheo]

I am so glad I got to be a part of this beautiful map, looks amazing!

[@awawawa4835]

Needletail was wasted potential, just like Hollyleaf...

[@kingnamor7777]

Moonlight the Shiny Umbreon They had great potential but the Erin Hunter change all that. Don't blame the character blame the people who create them this way.

[@awawawa4835]

+King Namor 777 Exactly.

[@kingnamor7777]

Moonlight the Shiny Umbreon No joke I think the Warrior cat community would done better job in "Omen of the Star" and book 4 and 5 of the "Power of Three". Change ideas and if possible sent it to the community thank you: 1. Hollyleaf never runaway into the cave. 2. Sol should been main villain in the "power of three" and Omen of the Star" 3. Hollyleaf power would been to see another cats Destiny. 4. Sol should have use Blackstar as puppet and declared war on the 4 clans to forget Starclan. The true power of three(Who is Hollyleaf) defeat Sol in battle and Blackstar kills Sol for his actions. Sol goes to dark forest and makes deal with Tigerstar and dark forest cats for revenge. 5. The power of three redeem the dark forest cats. For example Thistleclaw and Mapleshade welcome into Starclan and many others cats with the same anti-villains and anti-hero story/history. 6. Last battle/dark forest attack never happened or happens with less deaths number and Thunderclan wins the battle. 7. Skyclan is welcome into the lake and Thunderclan and Shadowclan share their land to Skyclan. 8. Firestar get killed by Darktail and Darkclan is destroy.(That how you fix Warrior cats people) The End😊(Here a sub❤ and happy mother's day)

[@awawawa4835]

+King Namor 777 Sounds perfect. I have no idea what the Erins are trying to do but they're failing at it.

[@kingnamor7777]

Moonlight the Shiny Umbreon So true. No wonder they never listen to fans and rush the story. But we can learn from their mistakes so we can make a better story than them.(Just like M.A.P and animations)

[@songbird6414]

She works so well because she was a strict rebel in a world DOMINATED by rules. I wish they’d kept her and used her in The Broken Code. With the way they “explore” the flaws in fhe code in that arc, she could have been a really, REALLY cool perspective on it.

[@Fellidae]

Everyone did great! This really does Needletail justice.

[@towboats]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA ITS SOO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!! Ermagherd everyone’s parts look amazing, the emotions and colors fit the song and script so well!!!!! Aaaaaaaaa!! Amazing job everyone!!!

[@snowberrystar9821]

Agreed

[@WrenEclipse.]

BreezyBramble I KNOW, RIGHT!!!??

[@kingnamor7777]

BreezyBramble Needletail always did things her own way without looking back. Learn the mistakes of others and herself no what they think.

[@fadedkat]

wow this was amazing, everyone's parts are so good!! Thank you so so much for letting me be apart of it! :D

[@lunathepotato5871]

Omg I love your part it's beautiful!!! (The other parts are too ;3)

[@fadedkat]

xX Honeyfern Xx thank you!!

[@lunathepotato5871]

Faded Kat no problem ;3 you deserve so many more subs

[@kateebug8098]

YES! FINALLY someone uses this version of the song! Anyone else think this is the best version? Also, WOW to the animators, great work y’all!

[@honeylunemoon]

tbh i really love darktail's design in this! :0 i love siamese/point coloured cats so when I saw your design for him i was so happy ^^ also can we take a moment to appreciate this map?? like its so smooth??? its honestly perfect and congratulations to north and everyone who participated in this!

[@Nyalenn]

*sees notification* *stops playing Splatoon* *cries* omfg this turned out *a m a z i n g* !!! Everyone did a perfect job and... Needletail is awesome!

[@RileyEllis]

oMG THIS IS AMAZIHG AHHH!! NORTHY BLESS YOU FOR HOSTING THESE MAPS

[@Opal7242]

Everyone here did and amazing job, so fluent and neat and well made! I can see the effort put into this! You all should feel proud! Each of you has earned a subscriber! *claps* 10/10 ~Wish

[@casper-hale]

sobbing crying over this damn map. i think another way of interperting this is her need for control? she was always looking for control over her life. she thought she found that in joining darktail and rain, but really she just lost even more control over her life because darktail isn't afraid to kill her. i think the death of rain really opened her eyes and like-- that was when it all got really real for her. so she took back control by finally trying to kill him and I can see her death being really freeing for her. violetpaw being the only constant in her life still breaks my heart. she loved her so mcuh.

[@ColdRising]

IT TURNED OUT GORGEOUS!!!! There’s so many meaningful shots in everyone’s parts and everyone kept the colors and atmosphere so well!! Ahh I’m so happy to see this finished; it turned out to be so lovely

[@discontinued-moved7737]

I loved this so much When I read her death I started crying She was a great charcter This map makes this so detailed to me This animators are really good

[@jadedghostt]

wow!!!! this map turned out so perfectly!! everybody's parts flows so perfectly!! i'm so proud to be a part of this ahh

[@pastrybagel9125]

Anyone who doesn't love Needletail needs to reevaluate.

[@goldenbreeze-]

Yesss

[@klltx2001]

People are allowed to not like a character.

[@AsbestosSmoothie]

Can't force somebody to like a character they don't y'know.

[@ZemmaStudios]

Aaa this turned out so amazing!! I'm so honored to be in this wonderful MAP!!

[@chromiakocosmos8888]

Needletail was such a good character. Part of me thinks she's still alive somehow and she escaped, but I know she didn't. She learned her mistake in the end, and faught for a noble cause. I wonder if she's in Starclan, even if she didn't believe in Starclan.

[@lichtweidelichtweide9208]

She's in Starclan💫

[@Icepiq72]

This is the most perfect song for a redeemed anti-hero like Needletail. Great job to everyone who worked so hard on this.

[@iamkah4789]

This is a wonderful map! I really miss needletail in the books and am still trying to figure out the whole Tree and Violetpaw only seeing her in the existance she is in, that isnt starclan. this is still so beautiful good job everyone!

[@HiHi-lt1cb]

SO AWESOME!!! This is why Needletail is one of my favorite characters! Well done everyone!

[@mosspigletslivesmatter1910]

THISISOGREAT💕💕💕 Five giants and your MAP are my absolute favourites, and I adore needletail! Thank you for hosting this and to all the talented animators in this :33

[@FISHSOCKS]

OMG?? This is amazing!!!! Every part is just so beautiful!

[@avafilms4218]

[@jadedghostt]

Ava Films AH thank you so much!!

[@avafilms4218]

TheWolfWarrior No problem! It’s one of the best parts in the entire map!

[@cosmichaze0183]

I got confused at that part but then again i haven't read the book. Also I agree its really good.

[@viannacastillo7245]

Me: rewatching this map after a year or so and crying at 3 am “Art, Beauty *chefs kiss*”

[@therealdadada]

It's finally done!!

[@Ari_A1357]

This is so cool! I love Needletail and I’m so sad she had to die but she died in a very noble way

[@patchley6887]

I love this so much! Every part is so well done! I personally enjoyed Needletail’s character as well!

[@veronicasawyer1321]

Oh my StarClan! This is so amazing! The wait was worth it (no offense intended) and everyones’ parts look so good! Great job, Northy, and everyone in this MAP!

[@LullabyTheKitty]

[@jaynoname7494]

Needlebabe yes I’ve waited my whole life for this

[@the3cookies256]

ohhh I'm so glad this is finished! This is definitely favourite PMV MAP. everyone did an amazing job, the atmosphere is so dramatic! Needletail is by far one of the most interesting, unique and well-developed characters in Warriors.

[@TinyTabby]

Oh my god This is my favorite map now, just the way the parts flow so well with each other and heck I can really actually feel the mood of the map and it goes so well with the song heck 10/10 this needs to be noticed 👏👏

[@fauhwn]

Holy chills. This is so amazing! If any of the animators who participated are reading this, keep up the amazing work!

[@SpicyCannoli]

Holly Fuck this was intense. Also I legit have no idea who anyone here is. Also the art was amazing. Also kudos for using Ghosting at the end, I can't seem to find people who know Mother Mother irl so this is the next best thing.

[@-sparklewolf94-61]

James Smith Needletail was the grey and white chested cat with patches on her eyes, Violetpaw was the black patched one with purple eyes, her sister Twigpaw was a grey cat, and Darktail (the Villian) was the dark brown marked one who looked like a Siamese cat :) Hope this helped a bit

[@SpicyCannoli]

It did, I really have to read the book ^^'. Actually is Twigpaw Firestar's great granddaughter?

[@-sparklewolf94-61]

James Smith haha, I haven't read the fourth or fifth series yet actually lol x'D I just know most of the spoilers or major stuff that happens later on.

[@-sparklewolf94-61]

James Smith I actually don't know if Twigpaw is or not, you could probally research it on the Warriors Wikia :) :3

[@death.thricedrawn9939]

James Smith no, she's Pebbleshine and Hawkwing's daughter

[@kristiedenis974]

OMG THIS IS AMAZING TO EVERYONE WHO HAS A PART IN THIS MAP YOU ARE AMAZING

[@chardioic]

LOVE this map! Strongly dislike how Needletail was written and what path the Erins' made her take, but her death at the end paid for all her horrible choices. That doesn't mean I hate this MAP! Poor Violetkit.

[@cindyg.5785]

North! I wish I could have been a part of this masterpiece! All of the parts are absolutely stunning and me and countless others I'm sure, think it has been so worth the wait! This is truly one of my favorite maps and needlework is definetly my favorite warriors charecter!'this map is again- stunning! The shading, effects, everything!
