i keep rewatching the ending scene over and over- the message of her not forgetting the awful things he's done and literally wiping her paws clean of him to move on, i almost honestly sense a bit of disdain in her expression but she must have felt like that was something she had to do. joke explanation: she forgave him because she didn't want his damn ghost hanging around and bothering her in the afterlife. after he's gone she's just like "oh god, FINALLY" and basically does the irl equivalent of tbagging him in a video game

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.

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.

I don't even know what to say when people ask me about us. The people around us are trying to bring us to reason. I think it's time to get back together. I tried hating you but the anger is gone. The good memories outweigh hate and rancor. I forgive you, you know not what you have done Ohh I, I forgive you, now it's time for me to move on Ohh I, I forgive you, you did not see right from wrong Ohh I, and I love you Always in my heart you'll live on You'll live on You'll live on You're welcome

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...

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! :)

[@tonysnacc7073]

I like how uncomfortable Squirrel looks whenever Ash tries to get her to talk to him/play down what he did. She forgives him, yes, but she wants to move on; he has no right to try and force himself into her life, and I think that’s portrayed wonderfully here.

[@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.

The ending scene both hurts and makes me feel good, squirrelflight knows ashfur made awful choices and doesn't pity him, but she refuses to hate him entirely. She has to move on and leave him alone.

ORRGR GRRR GRRR THIS TURNED OUT SO BEAUTIFUL AND I LOVE UR LITTLE ANIMATION AT THE END DEAR LORD

[@SkiggsMoDiggs]

Squirrelflight pre-credits: I forgive you

[@motherhen592]

TRUE LOL

[@Demon-hj3fh]

Lol Ashfur the tissue

[@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

[@alinajanshon9750]

This map is stunningly gorgeous; every time it switched animators I got chills by how beautifully everyone did. I am absolutely in awe of the work put in and the sheer skill every single person who participated had. Thank you Sagutoyas for this jaw-dropping work and for all the animators who put their best in for it!

[@tomhawl]

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.

[@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 ✨

[@CelestialTabris]

Everyone did so amazing on this project... the outro was completely beautiful and Im beyond honored to have been involved in this project, god bless yall! 😭❤️

[@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.

[@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

[@emerald_aurora]

Squirrelflight: I forgive you and let you sing in french about how you love me Ashfur: yes Squirrelflight: and then you possess my husband Ashfur: yes Squirrelflight: I-

[@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

[@giingersnaps]

This was GORGEOUS!! absolutely beautiful!! I’m so grateful that this MAP came out at the end of such a crappy year, despite all the stuff that’s happening, these artists still worked hard and achieved such a beautiful final product. Thanks to everyone who worked on this! This’ll definitely go down in warriors history.

[@motherhen592]

Yes, yes it will.

[@spaorkles]

Yes! It will! It was definitely worth the wait!

[@davidlindy9254]

Squilf: I forgive you! Ashfur in the current books: NO!

[@raven_light6534]

Lion guard reference?

[@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.

[@sagattaara]

if someone had told me a few years ago that "Je te pardonne" would be used for a MAP video I would have laughed at first. But it's just A MA ZING ; a beautiful map, beautiful characters and beautiful song. Really. Kiss from France

[@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!

[@Dark-yard]

AAAA this looks so amazinG, everyone did suuuuch an amazing job, I'm completely blown back by the pure talent that you peeps have, absolutely worth the wait!! I'm so happy that it came out on my birthday, it absolutely made the day 100% better. Such an amazing end to the horrible year of 2020 💖

[@flamindorito]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, YOUR ANIMATIONS ARE AMAZING TOO!

[@edwennlhybride]

Forgive but don't forget. Such a stunning MAP. Truly one of the best I've ever seen. It was way worth the wait. All the animators and host have done such a god-like job, all being very skilled and talented. Thank you all 💕

[@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 🌟🌟🌟

[@TiredWierdCat]

Anyone else who noticed the little star appering after ashfur disappered to enter starclan? 3:28

I did now

i remember when this map wasnt supposed to be an AU-

[@candytree5140]

I am blown away!! This is such a high quality MAP, the Warriors fandom gets better every day I swear

[@beanebaby]

YOU GUYS- THE CREDITS DESERVE A WHOLE SEPARATE VIDEO OH MY STARS, IT IS GORGEOUS AND SO SO UNIQUE FOR A CREDITS SCENE!!! The way the stars were laid out to make constellations of each and every animator in this project is jaw-dropping. I mean each animator 130% deserves to have their names written in the stars as beautifully as they animated in this amazing MAP. WOW makes me wanna drop everything and start animating. Beautiful job everyone seriously!!!

[@karunamaya8646]

Can I just say, I have watched this so many times and the more I do, the more it seems like during the whole song Squirrelflight has this guarded look in her eyes like she is taking everything with a grain of salt even as she is singing she forgives Ashfur and I think that detail is so amazing.

[@candywolf8176]

~This is probably one of my favorite maps, as Squirrelflight forgives Ashfur for his wrong actions. Ashfur only caring about having a relationship while Squirrelflight didn't see him in that way. Even in real life friendships break apart when one doesn't have the same feelings as the other one does. To forgive and move on helps keep the bond of friendship and its more meaningful in my opinion. Everyone did a wonderful a job and I always keep re-watching as its pretty relatable, and amazing map!~

[@allmightyscroll]

This whole MAP is gorgeous, but i feel like we don't really appreciate the work put into backgrounds in this MAP. They were really amazing at setting the mood, and were very well done in general. But this doesn't mean the animation wasn't excellent, all the animators did an amazing job all together and the MAP is very pleasing to look at! 💕💕 It was worth waiting two years for this! 😌💜💜💜💜💜

@@SonarTheBat Sad. Sally was so talented, and I used to hold her in a very high regard. I hate when these things happen.

[@OfficialKayTheFoxYT]

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.

[@garnettiltribal]

This is amazing! It kind of feels like Squrrelflight was Ashfurs final judge so starclan let him in.

[@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.

[@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.

[@isabellerose8925]

So much better than what happens canonically

[@lackofseratonin]

For everyone making fun of ashfur all of the sudden speaking french... Hear me out.. Him speaking in french represents his thought process being so much different from squirrelflights So in conclusion I think this map was a WONDERFUL idea
