[@CrowWife]

@@rinafae ​ I'm mostly just sick of every other villain being depicted as murder edgelords and whatnot, like emo murder edgeboy scourge or psychotic 'nice guy' edgeboy AshFur. I don't remotely condone what he did but I feel like he could have been a good character if he wasn't written so poorly. To me it *really* feels like the Erins realized "Wait we need BrambleClaw to be the good guy" so they decided to make AshFur a psycho to counter Bramble's abuse to make him seem like a better option

this map doesn’t paint him like villains like tigerstar or mapleshade, but a lovesick cat, it kinda makes you feel bad for him even more especially when he gets murdered and his death is lied about.

[@TheMagicPinecone]

okay umm--- I already know this will be a long comment, I have multiple things I need to say, so bear that in mind,, words can barely express what I thought watching this. First of all, I love how Brambleclaw was genuinely sad and remorseful when they found and treated to Ashfur's body. I have never seen anyone else do this before, but I just really love it! It shows how in this, anyway, he never really held any hard grudges against him. Second, I love how somebody finally showcased Ashfur as more desperate and spiteful, rather than just fueled by pure revenge. Like, you gotta admit, most depictions of the ol' fire scene, while good, mainly just show him more as just out for revenge. But I love how dramatic he got in this. Third, how he died in general in this. I haven't read PoT in years, but I swear wasn't one of the details of his death was that his body had floated a ways away and ended up where it was? So I like that detail, along with Hollyleaf cleaning the blood off immediately afterward in the water. just,, kudos to all the amazing artists in this, they did a spectacular job!

[@TheMagicPinecone]

@Rose Skywalker The Weirdo yeah, I will never justify, or even understand some choices he made, but I thoroughly stand by looking in any fictional character's perspective that you can. Not always sympathizing or understanding a character's actions, but still understanding where they're coming from, is my personal number 1 rule for reading. So basically with Ashfur I'm always like, "ya got dumped, and are forced to live and look at her every day, but damn dude, don't attempt murder on most of her family!?"

[@mysryuza]

I agree, Ashfur seemed more desperate and spiteful to me and not just vengeful. I also like how Bramble reacted in the way you described too.

[@CACKLEWC]

I remember how Ashfur was when he was younger, I almost cried when I saw how he is now, I feel bad for him.

[@Kayy2571]

FR he was such a good apprentice and NOW…

[@lemonchiron1545]

It's nice to see a map about Ashfur that focuses on his emotions during the arc in a kind of different light, mostly it's all "He was super angry" or "He was super violent" when this MAP says "Yeah he was angry and violent but he was also really sad about it and his emotions all came out in this one scene" The animators did an amazing job portraying his moods and emotions, good job to all of them!

[@CelestialTabris]

IT IS SUCH AN HONOR TO BE A PART OF THIS MAP!! It came out so beautifully and I know it’s going to inspire and impact the community in a huge way, thank you Chilly, Lunepools, and the rest of my fellow animators for all the hardwork and patience in making such a beautiful product.

[@niyaodom1944]

Watching Ferncloud in tears and Ashfur drowning makes me realize... *the background characters REALLY deserve better.* Drama can be necessary to a story, but Ashfur’s story and life has been pretty dang unfortunate and for what tho??? He was never my favorite cat and he never will be, yet only the *wonderful artists* that made this map possible can drag sympathy from me to one of the most *infamous* characters.

[@kitkatstar9442]

Yes!!!! I've seen the parts and I just love how raw all the emotion in this map and the song is, it's so atmospheric

[@eagleblaze4434]

In some ways, I can relate to Ashfur. Obviously not the.. trying to burn children alive part, but I have my own Squirrelflight. I can understand his anger, but obviously I don't support his actions. However, This song hits hard, especially put into Ashfurs story, since I can put myself into his shoes sometimes.

It matches perfectly with the vocalist's scratchy, sometimes too loud, sometimes too quiet, desperate singing.

I've waited years to see this complete and I'm just stunned by the result. Well done to all of the animators and artists.

[@coyotix]

The important thing to know about Ashfur is that it isn’t his fault Squirrelflight chose Brambleclaw, but its his fault for manifesting his grief the way he did. He wouldn’t have become this way if Hawkfrost hadn’t made him act on his grief. And from then on, instead of regretting it, he was truly angry. He went through the five stages of grief, before taking his chance to possess Bramblestar. He was in denial to see Squilf leave, he was angry enough to kill, he was begging Squilf to love him back, he sat in silence at the lake in his depression, and until he realized he could possess other cats, he’d accepted his death and neglect.

So excited for this project! I haven’t watched most of the parts because I’m so excited and want to see the true beauty for itself all together, but from what I’ve seen, everybody has done really great!! This MAP in particular means a lot to me even before it’s released because I ended up, technically, naming myself after this MAP! Of course I chose Rory because it just fit, but this MAP is what led me to really become attached to that name and to realize that’s what I wanted to be called, so thank you for that! So hyped to see the final product!

I just LOVE this map. This is my number 1 favorite, it makes me love Ashfur more and everytime I watch this video, I cry from the inside. This is a well made map, and I now my favorite songs is Rory.

This is absolutely amazing! If I had to pay $50 to see it at a cinema, I would pay it and not regret my decision. So many talented people worked together to make this masterpiece and all of them deserve to be thanked and congratulated. So, thank you and congratulations! I hope everyone has a good day / night and stays safe!

I kept seeing a lot of fanart for this map on twitter, so I had to come see for myself what all the fuss was about. And OH MY GOD yall did not disappoint. The emotion portrayed in this map is just amazing. The animators did such a good job there really wasn't a part of this map that I didn't like. This MAP was truly amazing and i would love to see more from the animators in the future for sure!

This is my absolute favorite Ashfur map, I love how everyone shows the feelings Ashfur feels when he's struggling with is problems, just GOD ITS SO GOOD

[@ailo.møøn]

IM SO MOVED YALL DID SO WELL. I’ve waited forever for this map to be completed bc I absolutely love Foxing’s music and Ashfur fits sooo well with it. This was well worth all the wait

[@ChannelDeleted123-c4x]

This map gave me the chills, my god, is this good

[@GHOSTRlDERX]

Why did this make me cry😭😭😭

[@HolIowed]

I've been waiting for this MAP to come out for what feels like an age. Rory has easily become one of my favorite songs in the meantime, and this has been one of my favorite projects to watch. Everything about this is flawless-- the scripting, the animation, the amount of emotion captured for sure. Thank you for seeing this through to the end, and thank you to all the lovely animators that took place.

[@teejsaurus]

[@Elkemistical]

It's finally finished :') I remember when Lunepools first uploaded the call, and since then I've been waiting for this! Everyone did absolutely amazing, and the end result was worth the wait!!

[@bunny9680]

I kind of feel bad for ashfur, he was a good cat, but jealously got the best of him.

[@Wishteriiaa8]

I DIDNT EVEN KNOW RHIS WAS COMPLETED IVE WAITED YEARS AND YEARS OMG IT IS SO BEAUTIFUL MORE THAN I EVER IMAGINED

[@Greenkitten45]

Ashfur: 2:32 WHY DON'T YOU LOVE ME Squirrelflight: BECAUSE, SIR, YOU'RE CLEARLY INSANE

[@Sarahmireles07]

Lol

[@gbgngsfjm8474]

tbh i feel bad for him

[@EndedAxolotll]

i left the warriors fandom like half a year ago and i forgot this map existed, but i’m so glad it’s done now!! it’s so cool and definitely worth the wait!

[@skreezyi]

while I love all the other parts, 1:17 hits hard too because of the last shot of ashfur on the ground. it's realistic it almost looks like a real (dead) cat, which makes it so much sadder. really well made map here

[@krisArue]

AH legit so happy i've been waiting for this map since the begging, so happy for everyone who participated
