the daughter of the fish and the ram - hollyleaf pmv

[throws this at you and runs away very quickly]
hello warrior cats community!!!!! i heard this song and associated it really strongly with holly, so i tossed this together in about a month. it’s the first pmv ive made in...four? years so it’s got its flaws, but im really happy with it :] i hope someone out there likes it too.
for clarification: the “magical clam”, who takes its form as a ghostly version of hollyleaf, is meant to represent holly’s conscience. this is mostly so it fits the song- no one told holly to kill ashfur, she just mistakenly believed that killing him would solve her problems. the clam isn’t a new character or anything, just a version of hollyleaf!
song is the daughter of the fish and the ram by the scary jokes. i own nothing but the art & editing in this video.
i dont post art online much but if you wanna hang out with me my twitter is / sparklecritter & if you’re interested in my stuff, i do have a couple other pmvs in the works already so you can subscribe to this channel if you’d like! thank you so much for reading the description & i hope you have a lovely day :]
video was made using procreate and cute cut pro
EDIT 8/21/21- this video is now monetized, any money i make off it is going directly to mutual aid requests & gofundmes. hope you don’t mind the ads too much!!

[@DastupidCow]

this is a weird thing to say, but I wish Hollyleaf had raised that fox cub, as a way to learn that you can still be loved even if you are adopted, through her own experience.

Au time

[@edsweet2858]

Someone needs to make an AU of that

[@fantaaa.]

@@edsweet2858 you already know imma bout to do that Edit: 1, I still think this idea is really cool and razmerry’s version is cool. 2, I got physical whiplash seeing my own photo, I don’t remember this comment

[@mechanicalhoundz]

@@edsweet2858 there is one! Check out Razzmerry's Redwish au!

[@ahhhhhhhhhhhh6013]

dude. imagine if when hollyleaf found out she was half clan. she DIDNT murder ashfur, then he told the clans and crowfeather took pity on her, so she left thunderclan and went to windclan and like her and breezepelt became best buddies since they both have horrible, wrecked lives and parents. and breezefur never turned evil and they like got along with their dad.

[@ravem410]

Imagine

[@shatteredmoon6531]

Omg this is freaking amazing!? Best au I’ve ever heard. Can I make like a pmv or somthing based off of this? I’ll give you credits in the title, video and description! It’s totally fine if you don’t want me to though!

[@ahhhhhhhhhhhh6013]

@@shatteredmoon6531 yes yes yes yes and you don’t even have to credit me just like tell me when your finished with it so i can watch it !!!!

[@kurtiseata]

I might actually make a pmv too haha

[@melanitesong]

breeze...fur? lol great au i would love to see that

[@Tigereyes6302]

YOU HAVE SO MUCH POWER???? A 6 MIN PMV,,, I'M IN AWE THIS IS REALLY WELL DONE I LOVE THIS SM

[@professionalocchiolist4104]

As a foster kid who was lied to about not being adopted, I hate Hollyleaf. But this animatic makes me like her a bit more. You didn't make her purely a victim in this, and you portrayed her needing ti take responsibility. I really like it :)

[@congju02]

oh my god this is so underrated i love how hollyleaf's fur is in the shape of holly leaves and how fallen leaves has wings it's adorablee and i love how at 4:00 both jayfeather and lionblaze have shining stars on their heads to show they're a part of the three but hollyleaf just has a gray broken one and i love how the clam is just like hollyleaf's thoughts ahh this is so stunningg especially how you had the motivation to make a 6 minute long pmv lmao

[@ivy.catto700]

Yes I love fallen leaves wings!

[@Boobear_223]

Ok- i love this, literally only one scene of the fire i feel like not only does it just capture all of hollyleaf but like, ive seen so many fire pmvs and tbh i dont mind them but it’s absolutely wonderful to see something like this!

[@Nogiistune]

This story is so inspiring How have I never heard it before HolyLeaf fits perfectly with it Exept when she killed ashfur lol I loved this a lot Thanks

[@reallycoolname6437]

Aw no this is underrated :(

[@Emma-mj3pz]

The song choice!! The length!!!! The designs and multitude of scenes!!!!!! INCREDIBLE

[@fablednorth3011]

I love how you added her taking care of the baby fox WHY DOES NO ONE TALK ABOUT THAT??!!

[@f--ork99]

cried real tears, wept real sweetly thank you for making this, i keep forgetting how amazing this community is and how strong and creative it is

[@hollythemage1350]

Glad to know I wasn't the only one who cried

[@reakasy7016]

I absolutely love this! The storytelling of having the clam basically being her conscience is a really cool idea, and that it leads to both her best and worst decisions (both killing Ashfur, and running away, which while not great overall, was ultimately what Holly needed, to destress and be away from clan life). Not to mention, that I am in awe that you knocked out a 6 and a half minute pmv, like w h a t ? that's *nuts,* mad respect! I'd also like to take a quick second to talk about the character designs! Holly's fur having holly leaf edges is such a neat idea, and I love the little freckles as well! And while only appearing briefly, I really liked Leaf, Jay, and Lion's designs as well! Specifically Leaf, idk why, but something about her design is just so pleasing to the eye. Anyway, main point is, this is fantastic! I look forward to seeing more of your work :D

[@exolitealt3502]

This is so underrated its a crime. 6 and a half minutes? How do you not have a millions subs my dude.

[@flaffle0362]

This fire SO perfectly fitted, the song goes so well and it’s just amazing in general so well done!!

[@katehasson]

YOU'RE SO UNDERRATED!!! I loved the style of your drawings and I love how you threw in some different storylines, like the clam being hollyleaf's spirit- i'm subscribing!!

[@ugly-organist]

there are so many songs by the scary jokes that fit hollyleaf so well and i love that so so much dhgcndgd this pmv is sooo nice i love how well it goes with the music n. 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

[@kittpaws1724]

bad at math is hollyleaf the album

[@sadsapph3794]

THIS IS SO COOL MAN 6 MINUTES OF P O W E R

[@teacupofdoom]

um, UNDERRATED MUCH?? anyways im subscribing, liking this video and sending it to all my friends have a nice day you wonderful person

[@lucid2957]

You are INCREDIBLY underrated, and I hope this gets so much more recognition because DAMN i can't imagine how much work and time went into this! A 6 minute long PMV with a song that perfectly resonates with Holly. I love all of their designs and how you told the story!

[@brianna9039]

memento mori, unus :)

[@pearlwalker4205]

Wow, the length is super impressive. The designs and colors work pretty well too, especially in the shots with shading

[@mcytfan1415]

This was absolutely captivating. I usually get easily distracted but I watched this whole thing. This was so stunning and I could never make a 6 minute pmv. Im currently working on a 3 minute pmv and its already taken me a few months and I haven't even finished the storyboard. Youre so talented and this is criminally underrated! Thank you for is masterpiece.

[@fidelis13]

THIS IS SO EPIC!! ive always thought this song fit holly so well and you portrayed it really well!! i love your hollyleaf design,, the shapes are so good,, and fallen leaves's wings are so cool

[@leefee5369]

This is so adorable. The song fits so well and the way you showed her is even better. LOVE!

[@aaaaaaaa-tz7tu]

going feral over this this is so good!! ur art style combined with the concept of her conscience being personified, and also the fact you didn't just show her "death"? dude dude dude this is so good and emotional, and also your DESIGNS

[@ReddZArtz]

THIS IS SO GOOD!!!!!!!!!!

Daaamn this is so good!!!! A six min pmv? That’s so impressive, and every frame is so polished and awesome!!!

[@colleenkyle7741]

Hollyleaf is a very complex character and a character that doesn’t come often. She could’ve been very diverse.

[@honeybumblebee9274]

This is so underrated, you deserve so much more attention-

[@lochness7419]

This is so rad and has such a neat n like. Kinda spooky vibe I love it

[@benjamindeez]

HOLY CRAP, I WAS JUST THINKING OF HOLLYLEAF IN THIS SONG WHILE LISTENING TO IT THIS IS SO COOL

[@bananaquit5466]

This is so good! What a lovely exploration of her character.

[@shatteredmoon6531]

This is awsome! I’m in love with this, It fits so well with her backstory. And just the art in general is outstanding. I am so impressed!

[@glacierheart4680]

Okay I love how the fur around her face has the same pattern as a Holly leaf

[@Bluellamaa]

oh i just watched this and i know it's old but im crying because hollyleaf has always been incredibly special to me (probably because i find her very relatable lol) but with this song too? And the end hhhh it feels like me a lot :') and im really proud of myself for getting help and finally feeling better. So yeah, crying lol

[@soulettestars4740]

IM SOBBING WHAT THIS IS SO STUNNING??? IM IN DESPERATE AWE I LOVE YOUR ART SO MUCH AND THE SONG FITS SO WELL I MIGHT LOOSE IT. I LOVE HOW YOU MADE THE LYRICS FIT SO WELL IN SO SO MANY SCENES AND I HAVE NEVER SEEN A PMV/AMV THAT HAS DONE SO THIS MANY TIMES. THIS HOLDS SO MUCH VALUE DUDE I SERIOUSLY ADORE THIS💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚 (also i dont know why, but i really love the colors you used for the background characters at 2:24 it just looks so aesthetically pleasing to me)

[@wednesrory]

OH MY GOSHHH THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY!!!! I LOVE THE SCARY JOKES AND THIS IS SO GOOD

[@tomfoooleryy]

i keep rewatching this ugh its so good

[@swatch-ful]

I know this is from a month ago but I absolutely love this?? Like, yes?? The designs are so good and the art is just perfect ajjsjsdjkdndkshsj- Also, I actually just happened to have this same idea a long time ago, I never did anything with it, so I’m glad somebody did. Even if I might seem biased, but I really love this idea, and I think the song fits Holly so well and I honestly think you showed that very well. TL;DR: I really like this PMV! The idea is very fitting and the art and designs are very good too, I hope this gets big one day! Also, I’m wondering if I could still make a MAP or PMV of this despite this? It’ll probably end up being an AU, so it won’t be exactly the same. It’s perfectly fine if okay though! I just want to ask.

[@kittpaws1724]

hmmmm i dont know! i wouldn’t really mind, but maybe use just a bit/snippet of the song instead of the whole thing? :O good luck!

[@swatch-ful]

@@kittpaws1724 I probably wouldn’t be able to animate the entire thing anyways, so doing just a part would be fine. Thank you!

Lyrics: the scary jokes the daughter of the fish and the ram The daughter of the fish and the ram Said "I am who I am And what I am is a freak Of nature" The daughter of the ram and the fish Always had one secret wish The someone would love her Someday But who could love someone With scales and horns? A girl who was cursed since the day She was born She cried and she wined and she Hated herself She said, "Maybe if I tried I could be Someone else" So the daughter of the fish and the ram Visted a magical land The oldest and wisest creature In the sea She said "Magical clam, take pity I only want to be pretty" And the clam scratched his shell And he told her I will give you this magical pearl It'll grant any wish that you have in the World But even the magica that I possess Can never bring you true happiness" ("You gotta take care of that yourself, " Said the clam) So the power of the magical pearl Turned her into a beautiful girl And she swan ashore And crawled up on dry land But all of the people she met Said "why is this girl soaking wet" And they laughed at her And they called her weird Sure, she might not have been ugly Anymore But she was just as lonely as she was Before So, crying, the girl fled back to the Sea And she asked the clam, "Why won't Your magic work on me?" The clam in his wisdom replied "It's the person you are inside That's the problem My dear" "Sadly, you were doomed from the Stairs There's an incurable longing in your Heart And not even magic Can fix that" "Cause you miss the ocean when You're on land And when you're in the water, you Miss the sand Trust me, my darling, take this time to Roam 'Cause no one you meet is gonna Make you feel like you're at home" So even though she didn't really like it She took the clam's advice And set out on a journey All by herself And all of the wonders she saw Filled her with humility and awe And she felt right at home Wherever she roamed Her hooves let her climb to the Highest peaks And her gills let her swim to the Bottom of the sea And they still called her strange but She didn't really mind She was strange, she was strong, she Was doing just fine She was strang, she was strong, she Was doing just fine The daughter of the ram and the fish Still hasn't gotten her wish But not all of us do Maybe someday she'll find Somebody curious and kind To wander with her But 'til then, shes okay with just being Alone Some things you just have to find on your own Sorry if my story leaves something to Be desired My fins are so sore and my hooves are So tired My fins are so sore and my hooves are So tired My finds are so sore and my hooves are So tired
