This MAProject is called Serpent Sol! The Clans are suffering from a drought after the lake dries up, so Squirrelflight embarks on a journey to bring back water to the Clan. On her quest, she meets Sol who is playful and naive. They bond over their hardships while Feathertail reluctantly tags along. But tensions rise when they are led to three kits by a colorful figure.

“Estamos conscientes que Kiltro y su música no son de México, son de Chile, y por esta razón nosotres y otres amigues hicimos una playlist de musica chilena que nos gustaría compartir si les gustaron las canciones de Kiltro: • Chile 🇨🇱 también hicimos otras listas de musica latinoamericana que podrán encontrar en el canal de bolitamurcielago. TENGAN EN CUENTA QUE ESTAS CANCIONES NO LAS RECOPILAMOS COMO CANCIONES PARA MAPS, SIMPLEMENTE SON CANCIONES QUE QUEREMOS COMPARTIR. Muchas de estas canciones reflejan y representan aspectos muy importantes de protesta e historia en Chile, y lo mismo sucede en las otras playlists.
We're aware that Kiltro's music is not from Mexico, Kiltro is from Chile! For that reason, us and other latinoamerican friends made a Chilean playlist so you can discover more songs if you liked Kiltro's music!: • Chile 🇨🇱 we also made more latinoamerican playlists which you can find at @bolitamurcielago's channel! PLEASE TAKE IN MIND WE DID NOT MADE THESE PLAYLISTS AS MAP SONGS PLAYLISTS! We just want to share this music, and many of these songs both in this playlist and the others are representations of protest and history of their respective country (in this case, Chile). Please be respectful of that.”

As a Mexican, this map is a great example of what Mexico has in it's culture. The caves,the desert, the landscapes, the spirits, the chinampas, the trajinera, everything is a great jewel of art and animation. But above all, I like that you are talking about the magic that Mexico has: that Sol has the ability to tirn into a snake like a Nahual ( a person who can turn into an animal) A Big thank you to Cheeteh Z, Bolita Murciélago and all the animators for making this vídeo.

[@Bolitamurcielago]

GRACIAS ALEJANDROO

[@subyouwont]

As an American I love when other cultures are featured. Seeing it get such an upstanding promotion from somebody in the culture makes me excited to see more

[@Rexiandbattibat]

How someone from Mexico also thinks the same!!, the name of the map reminds me a lot of the snake that can be seen in the pyramids when the sun shines and a shadow is made as if it were a snake going down the pyramid

[@xxmidnightxx3195]

FINALLY SOMEONE WHO SPEAKS SPANISH ¡Viva México!

[@mayayuki5032]

By curiosity, I noticed that in a lot of cultures the snake is shown in a pejorative light. Is that common in Mexican culture?

[@Primal_aspid.]

I just realised, Sol being the one to carry Hollyleaf was SUCH big foreshadowing.

[@NeoMagicStar]

OMG YES! Little did both of them know they had a big part in each others lives, first just Sol losing his snake plush to pick her up, to the events in Hollyfawn.

[@Ravnfang_]

YEAH I JUST REALIXED, TOO

[@TheBananaBreadHost]

I like how sol grabs onto squirrels tail like a child grabbing their parents hair and sol stomp/hitting his paw on the ground like a child having a fit it just shows how much sol saw squirrel like an mother

Around 5:11 is probably my favorite lil clip of the map the pure joy on Sol face when hes showing the kits the snake and the disappointment afterwards he knew it was harmless and was having fun with the kits he was probably trying to get closer to the kits to get closer to squirleflight but then proceeded to change his mind after this incident that they are in his way

[@Willow.piggy22]

Same (pfp)

[@kittyyoutuber9]

I understand why squirrelflight did that but I still feel bad for sol in that scene.

[@asroczka]

Yeah i know a good bit about snakes and that was actually a harmless little ringneck snake.

2:11 the way he blinks in this scene, like an actual reptile! Thats such good foreshadowing! Every snake-like movement about sol is excellent foreshadowing but that was the first time we saw him, so it lets us know head-up that somethings not right.

[@alovelydeadfish]

did you see how right after that when he's cowering his tail is shaking almost like a rattle snake tail these people are so good

[@veet5415]

Oh, I didn’t realize he was blinking, I thought it was just some lighting effects. That’s such a cool added detail!

I just realized that when Sol lets go of Squirrelflight’s tail, scales sprout on his paws!!

[@CabinWolfYuki.]

@@ParsureArts really, wow!? I never saw that but I did see the other snake features!

[@sprigopine]

This MAP is extremely important to me. I live in a Mexican populated city in the South of Texas nearest to the border. We see so much here from both the US and from Mexico that many of us feel pain because of, but we also see the beauty of culture that gets overlooked because of how bad both governments are, and how they treat us. Seeing this within a MAP brings me so much joy and makes me proud of who I am, with the beauty of storytelling and culture.

[@subyouwont]

🤍 let’s all remember that our governments are the baddies and the individuals are simply victims of the systems

[@SpottertheOtterfox]

Agree! There even was an "Ajoloton" who was supposed to depose axolotls in the wild in the Lake of Xochimilco, instead the government lead those axolotls to their death, due the river being highly contaminated and some african fishes being their main depredators

[@Iconic_Darkness]

I genuinely kind of understand Sol in this map, he was jealous that those kits got more love than he did at their age. That doesn't justify his actions in the slightest but he wasn't sure what to do, as he wasn't shown how

[@danslyy]

As a Mexican, there is something I have to say about the Thumbnail, and it is that I love it because it makes me nostalgic! The artists really knew how to capture that the map is inspired in Mexico, because the art reminds me of elementary school textbooks, where the history book always had images that seemed to be hand-painted. When I was little, I always stared at those images, and the thumbnail one reminds me a lot of Quetzalcóatl (the feathered serpent god) Without a doubt, a great touch for this great MAP! ✨🔥

[@graysnake1181]

[@nekomataumbreon]

I remember a couple months back seeing a theory about this where a group of rogues trespassed on Quetzalcoatl's territory and got cursed to become snakes when their eclipses happened and I'm saying this now because last night I had a dream where Cheeteh made a voice acted MAP that confirmed this

[@nekomataumbreon]

And before anyone replies, I'm aware it's not actually canon. I just had a dream about it and wanted to share.

I can’t believe is already done, this MAP has been such a huge and special project for me, Im honored to be one of the directors, and I want to thank everyone involved from the bottom of my heart, this next part is in spanish, but I’ll have a translation in the replies... ALSO PLEASE READ THE WHOLE DESCRIPTION OF THE VID Quiero comentar que cuando empezamos este proyecto hace ya largo rato, estaba emocionada y a la vez aterrada. A mí personalmente me cuesta mucho hablar de México, porque tengo muchísimas emociones y en su mayoría por mucho tiempo fueron negativas. Mi relación con mi país, con mi propia ciudad, está dañada. El solo pensar en todas las problemáticas sociales y políticas por las que pasamos es muy agotador, y esto es sin contar las desafortunadas experiencias que yo he tenido…pero gracias a éste map tuve la oportunidad de empezar a sanar mi relación con mi ciudad, ya que se me dio la oportunidad de redescubrir mi país desde otra perspectiva: el registro de la biodiversidad para dirigir un proyecto. Mientras planeábamos serpent sol, nos aventamos al reto de reimaginar el valle de México (y otras partes de México) en una dramática sequía y esto incluyó hacer un registro de la vegetación que crece aquí para seleccionar qué plantas podríamos usar en éste caso (aquellas que sobrevivirían, y aquellas que aunque en un caso real no sobreviven, son icónicas del lugar) , mientras más avanzan los personajes en su viaje, más plantas vamos encontrando, pasando de un lago estereotípicamente seco a un valle que intenta sobrevivir con las pocas lluvias que le quedan, y finalizando con el valle rejuvenecido, lleno de vida y colores. Tal vez no sea perfecto, pero a mí personalmente me ha ayudado muchísimo a ver mi país con nuevos ojos; ver la cantidad de vida única e increíble que crece en nuestras tierras y dibujarla. México es un territorio enorme, lleno de vida, colores, tradiciones, y personas valientes que luchan a pesar de que todo esté en su contra con tal de proteger este hermoso país. Y por esto quiero agradecer enormemente a todas las personas involucradas que han ayudado a hacer este proyecto una realidad, por aguantar todas mis paredes de texto llenas de feedback en cada WIP, y por el esfuerzo de investigar, conocer, y aplicar nueva vegetación, escenarios, y colores a sus partes. Todes hicieron un trabajo espectacular, cada WIP nuevo y cada parte finalizada que llegaba me hizo el día. La energía y pláticas que pudimos tener durante la producción siempre estarán en mi corazón, al igual que todes ustedes. Les quiero muchísimo.

[@Bolitamurcielago]

I want to comment that when we started this project a long time ago, I was excited and terrified at the same time. Personally, it is very difficult for me to talk about Mexico, because I have many emotions and most of them were negative for a long time. My relationship with my country, with my own city, is damaged. Just thinking about all the social and political problems that we go through is very exhausting, and this is without counting the unfortunate experiences that I have had... but thanks to this map I had the opportunity to begin to heal my relationship with my city, that I was given the opportunity to rediscover my country from another perspective: the registry of biodiversity to direct a project. While planning serpent sol, we took on the challenge of reimagining the Valley of Mexico (and other parts of Mexico) in a dramatic drought and this included making a record of the vegetation that grows here to select which plants we could use in this case (those that would survive, and those that although in a real case do not survive, they are iconic of the place), the more the characters advance on their journey, the more plants we find, going from a stereotypically dry lake to a valley that tries to survive with the few rains that remain, and ending with the rejuvenated valley, full of life and colors. It may not be perfect, but personally it has helped me a lot to see my country with new eyes; see the amount of unique and incredible life that grows on our lands and draw it. Mexico is a huge territory, full of life, colors, traditions, and brave people who fight despite everything being against them in order to protect this beautiful country. And for this I want to thank enormously all the people involved who have helped make this project a reality, for putting up with all my walls of text full of feedback in each WIP, and for the effort to investigate, learn about, and apply new vegetation, scenarios , and colors to their parts. Everyone did a spectacular job, each new WIP and each finished part that arrived made my day. The energy and talks we were able to have during the production will always be in my heart, as will all of you. I love you very much.

[@Louis-LeBeau]

I now this sounds weird but my theory about all of the AU's is that there all the stories are legends passed down though the clans or like oral stories that changed depending on the person telling them. That's why at the end of Sharpen Your Teeth it shows Squirrelflight telling the stories too Hollykit. This might be a stretch and I don't think it counts Traveler feather but it's a good start.

[@aerascreamer4345]

After quickly going through the maps, they all seem to make one AU.

I’m so excited to see the in depth story and all the different artstyles come together in this MAP! Honestly I can’t believe it’s done already, it’s so HUGE. Props to the hosts, participants thumbnail artist and everyone else who worked on the map and a huge well done to getting this completed with such high quality so quickly! Cant wait!

I really love this map. My favourite part about it is probably how through out the map you see sol get more and more obsessed with squirrel flight. At the start just a normal friendship because he wanted to help her. And as he slowly grows closer and closer with her he gets more and more attached because she is probably the only one that showed him love after his mother abandoned him. But after she started showing more attention to her kits and getting angry at him for letting them get to close to a snake this is kinda his awaken like “I need her for myself. No one else should be around her ONLY ME” Not sure if this is right I haven’t read the script.

[@dreamfletcher779]

I'm really hoping that we'll see the Ashfur plotline they set up at the beginning play out like this, paralleling Ashfur's and Sol's obsessions with Squirrelflight

[@Copper_On_Pawz]

I really cannot express how much this means to me. I’ve never seen my culture expressed in such a beautiful way. The way StarClan was fit to alebrije. I think it’s the most beautiful thing ever and it’s put into one of mine and many’s favorite book. This map has made so many of us happy and I’m happy my culture gets to be shared with everyone! Thank you so much for hosting and to the animators who even made this possible! I lost my pet yesterday and this really has brightened my spirits. To know that he will come back in spirit is amazing to me. I visited my home town in Mexico about three days ago so this is really incredible to me ❤️

[@weedcat135]

"To be contiuened" just a small theory, it's definetly also gonna have serpent sol but could it be that it's gonna be a hollyleaf centered map- anyways, love this map! it's always so fun seeing your maps cheeteh! they're so creative and I love the AUs!! and the animators did a great job once again! seriously, you guys are SO talented too!!!

[@NeoMagicStar]

Ironically, I think that Holly is going to help stop the imposter who is Ashfur in Brambleclaw's clothing, and she is being manipulated by a strange figure who then reveals himself to be Sol, cursed to be a serpent forever, when she decides to go against him. I'm still thinking this out and how it would work out with combining this and Bramblefur, but hopefully since all the maps are connected in some way, this could happen.

[@OnlyAt_Dvsk]

I absolutely love how this is so many canon stories mixed together with its own little spin, and my favorite detail was when Sol stomped his foot, I specifically remember that scene

[@024krh]

As a Mexican, I'm literally in love with this map. I really love my culture a lot. Thank you & all the animators for this masterpiece❤

Te dire la verdad, estoy muy feliz de ver un map mostrando nuestra cultura, en especial el simbolismo que le damos en nuestro país a las serpientes, eso siempre me encanto, tengo una sentimientos mezclados a la hora de hablar de mi país por razones que probablemente muchos ya mencionaron, pero ver esta clase de proyectos hablando de las cosas hermosas que hay dentro de nuestra historia y transformarlo en algo original es simplemente algo que me hace muy feliz, muy buen trabajo por parte de todos los participantes que dieron todo de si para hacer esta obra cinematica!

All tiny Sol snake details: at 2:10 you see Sol blinking like a snake. at 2:20 when Squirrelflight is looking at her paw, in the back Sol's tail moves like a rattlesnake, then when she looks back his tail stops. At 2:41 you see Sol's tail slightly shake. Also, nearly the entire map Sol is holding his snake plushie thingy. At 4:05 you see Sol's tail shake. At 5:10 Sol does not seem bothered by the prescence of the snake, he is showing the kits it. At 6:27 you see Sol's eyes turn green just before he goes to sleep. At 7:18 it looks like Sol is in the process of turning into a snake. At 7:23, Sol has snake fangs. At 7:26 you can see scales forming on Sol's paws.
