[@Evilclandarkstar]

I always thought it was interesting how medicine cats cannot have kids, yet Brambleberry functioned better as a mother than Rainflower. This is beautiful work by the way!! :) I love your art style.

[@TarkTheWild]

Team moms, plus i think crooked needed constant attention dew to his jaw.

[@shadominx3696]

You don't need to have kids that are biologically yours in order to be a good mother or father. Regardless of your career in life.

[@lodgimoss]

@@TarkTheWild i dont think he did, i think brambleberry saw how rainflower was neglecting crookedstar and then rainflower developed motherly instincts over him, making him feel comfort. i wonder, did brambleberry go through a similar experience to crookedstar too?

[@Andi-ex1js]

I honestly think it's a stupid rule Like.. Yeah, maybe have a second one there to help out if you're gonna have kits But if it's just a "oh, but they might end up helping their kits first".. They're most likely gonna have family in the clan anyway.. So that excuse flies out the window right away

[@leirelarrakoetxea5747]

I always wonder when will that rule invalidated. I mean they summed a new rule to the code why not eliminate an old one that does more harm than good?

[@serenitythesiren5031]

'Brambleberry watched as Stormkit lay peacefully in his nest. She glanced at the side of the nest. Normally, an anxious mother would be there, freaking out if her kit made a single movement. Instead, only a father and brother were sat there. Shellheart hadn't left his son's side in three whole days, and Oakkit spent almost every day with his brother. Where was Rainflower? She murmured to Shellheart to keep any eye on the injured kit, before moving gracefully outside. She could see Volekit, Petalkit and Beetlekit all practicing swimming by the reed bed, Echomist watching anxiously. She spotted Rainflower basking herself in the warmth of the sun, looking as if she had no care whatsoever. "Rainflower?" Brambleberry said, Rainflower opened one eye, then closed it again and rolled over. "Something wrong, Brambleberry? Did Oakkit get his paw stuck in that crack again?" She asked lazily, acting as if she didn't care. *No, but your other son is lying sick, dying in my den! Or have you just forgotten about him!?* Brambleberry thought angrily, waves of anger swarmed through her, but she let her fur lay down once more and stopped bristling. "No, I just wanted to know why your out here instead of with Stormkit." Brambleberry said softly through gritted teeth. Rainflower rolled back over, licking moss, bracken and reed clumps out of her pelt. "Oh, right. Stormkit. I've been thinking of changing his name to Crookedkit. I guess I'll go see him." She yawned, she stumbled around the clearing and into the medicine den. A shriek came from the den. Brambleberry hurried in, had something bad happened? Rainflower was shrieking at Stormkit, who was still fast asleep. "His face! I thought you were going to fix him!" Rainflower turned on the medicine cat, Shellheart got ready to defend his son, and Oakkit grew defensive too. "Rainflower! How dare you! It doesn't matter what Stormkit looks like, as long as he's healthy." Shellheart growled, Oakkit nodded excessively, but Rainflower turned away and trotted outside. When Brambleberry glanced out, she saw she was now in the same patch of sun as before. What an irresponsible mother! Slowly, Oakkit followed his mother out, and Shellheart gave Brambleberry a nod, before joining Hailstar by a willow stump. Brambleberry lay down in the nest, next to the tiny kit. He opened his eyes slowly, still half-asleep. "Rainflower?" He squeaked, before closing his eyes and rolling over. Poor Stormkit! He thought Rainflower was here, comforting him. She wrapped her small body around the fragile scrap, licking his head. *I'll love you, Stormkit. StarClan has spoken, you need someone to lean on. That someone will be me.* She thought solemnly, slowly, she rested her head on the edge of the nest, and fell asleep.'

That comment is awesome

[@SpiraLotus9]

I'm not crying, the ceiling is just leaking

[@tinydancerpresents1504]

You should be an Erin. That was perfect. I now want a Brambleberry novella. Thank you so much, I loved that. (I can't put into words how impactful your writing was)

[@Shaun_Jones]

I haven’t read the book, but this precisely sums up my opinion on Rainflower: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oGe3ZGRofpulfKs

[@Catinthecosmos155]

Thought this was a quote from the book for a second lol. I was like “how do I not remember this” and then I realized you wrote it! You should consider maybe writing a book if that interest you because I think you would be a great writer

[@miaa2418]

I honestly believe Brambleberry and CrookedStar's "mother and son" relationship should've had more screentime but this is absolutely STUNNING

[@theshortangrylesbian]

Am I the only one who cried after reading his Super Edition because Brambleberry literally mothered him when Rainflower abandoned him? Edit: omg 151 likes? That’s the most I’ve ever gotten tysm

[@lodgimoss]

imagine being such a bad mother, the MEDICINE CAT is a better mother than you

[@morningrosie3684]

@@lodgimoss I mean like, medicine cats are good at caring for cats, so it’s not all that surprising she cared for Crookedkit, but yeah she took care of him much better.

[@skelly_universe7215]

I personally don't see PPL appreciating Crooked Star's father enough.

[@theshortangrylesbian]

@@skelly_universe7215 true. The fact he left Rainflower for Crookedstar is a true father. And you could tell it hurt him because even tho she was a horrible mother, he still truly loved her

[@dearangel5163]

God, he's my favorite character. He's been through a lot of pain in his life, but he's still working hard to serve the cats in his own group. Can I share this inspirational work with my friends? They will be deeply moved.

[@PLZN]

Of course! Thank you so much for liking this.

[@Scradye]

@@PLZN I legit was about to tear up reading crookedstar's promise it's sad how rainflower treats him.

[@maplefoxxo]

Agrred

[@jellywolf1637]

hes mine too hes gone through A LOT his mom died, even if she was mean to him he still loved her... his leader died, his brother died, and he trusted mapleshade.

[@secretly_scraptrap]

@@Scradye same. This sounds corny but Crookedstar's Promise is one of the two books in Warriors that made me cry (the other one is Tallstar's Revenge, if you must kniw)

[@pinokr4898]

the fact crookedstar had every right to be a villain but still was good hurts me. he endured so much i dont know how i got through his book without a single tear

[@billythesillyy]

Here's the things I loved the most about this lovely piece of work The moonstone scene, i love how it shows him getting his lives, idk why but I really like it His death? Ughhh it's so good him walking away from his body to his lived ones It also shows how good of a mother brambleberry was, she honestly deserves more support The art is wonderful

[@thenerdasaurus3717]

My god I love how he walks off as a StarClan cat at the end ;__;

[@berrystorm5901]

I love that the farm cats are included!

[@berrystorm5901]

and the ending made me cry! Great video

[@Salty_Onion]

One of my favorite parts of Crookedstar’s Promise is the little manga part at the end, why? Because it shows how good Crookedstar is, he was willing to accept Graystripe and acknowledges how hard he is working to be a good dad, and this just makes me happy. A lot of cats are narrow minded when it comes to cats from other clans (thanks erins) but he was just like “he’s not perfect, but he’s trying” and ahhh I love it! So the fact that you included a scene with this is just amazing! Beautiful pmv all in alll!

[@ratter1023]

I love how Brambleberry is literally melting every time she looks at Crooked. She's so proud of him no matter what he does

[@Ravethecat12]

Brambleberry is my favorite medicine cat simply for how caring and sweet she is. I wish we had got to see more of her in the Books.

[@ivyisbald]

Crookedstar being able to not listen to Mapleshade after all his pain in his life I find outstanding. Reading Crookedstar’s Promise again really made me like Crookedstar again, as I somewhat just forgot about him. But This PMV is outstanding, great job!!!

[@i_h8_life55]

Mapleshade is one of my favorite characters, I don't know why but I'm always drawn to the evil characters. Also I find it amazing as well, how he withstands her power 😁

[@reedtheracco0n]

@@i_h8_life55 many people like Mapleshade. I was liking here before reading crookedstar's promise

[@1983SpringBonnie]

I think there's an interesting parallel to be read in Crookedstar's Promise. Having lost his mother figure, Crookedkit ends up seeking a new one. He finds two: Mapleshade and Brambleberry. He chooses Mapleshade at first, because he believes she has good intentions. However, the cat with actual good intention was Brambleberry. Crooked realises this later, and any bitterness toward Bramble vanishes.

[@MysteriNoodle]

YES CROOKEDSTAR’S PROMISE LETS GO I LOVE THIS

[@ghostscouts]

Crookedstars promise while being one of the saddest super editions is also such a good book to see what healthy clan relationships can be I.e bramble berry and crooked kit/paw and I find that so nice and something we don’t get to see much of

[@sunniwithani]

Incredible work!! Crookedstars Promise is my favourite Warriors book, and you did it such justice! Keep creating, your art is beautiful!

[@ouchpaw3518]

Thank you! Finally a project that includes the wonderful, wonderful scene of Oakkit/paw (?) comforting his brother after Crookedkit proudly caught a moth, and wanted to show it to his mother who as always, looked down on him and didn't apprechiate his proud catch at all. So instead, Oakkit spent time with him and gave him the attention he deserved. "You can show *me* the moth if you like!" or something like that. Warrior Cats is full of tragedy, but it's the tiny, few lines and moments like this that make me want to read on. So much violence but then also hidden wisdom and cute fluff in between. What a weird series we got ourselves into.

[@doodlechubbs1229]

Not gonna lie, I think this might be one of my favorite warriors pmvs, super great work!

[@doodlechubbs1229]

Okay, I just went and watched all three of your pmvs and ALL of them made me tear up a little.

[@badwolf5311]

Crookedstar and Brambleberry my beloved

[@leefee5369]

This cured something really hard for me- I always feel sad when I can’t do great things ever again. It’s always been hard to just feel happy you did them but seeing him and how he felt so happy to except and feel good that he did those things..It just clicked for me!

[@elliestringer3658]

I’m in love with this; not only is the art spectacular, but you ended it on an optimistic note where a lot of crookedstar animations do not. I also love how you showed how he realy had a lot of support from his clan and wasn’t alone in his pain

[@nuvolachka]

so true!!

[@ouchpaw3518]

I've already commented - but only now did I realize how this PMV focusses on his persistent personality and strenghts, his loved ones and everything he *has* versus hi tragic life and everything he's been through and *lost* as is often the case in other videos. He deserves all the happiness man, it's beautiful seeing his story portrayed by it's more hopeful side! ❤

[@grilled_cheese771]

3:34 seeing Rainflower with a proud face (?) just makes me cry! And that she is inbetween the cats that loved Crookedstar :)

[@meqcury]

Brambleberry acted like a mother to Crookedstar when Rainflower didn’t even want him. Honestly Rainflower can go to the Dark Forest. Brambleberry loved Crookedstar like her own son and watched over him. If there was a POV of when Crookedstar left to the barn, I think Brambleberry would be worried and I think she would be asking StarClan to tell her where he was.

[@flowerkitt]

That was beautiful, great job. I love how you portrayed his relationships with his clanmates and how you focused on good moments in his life.

[@sweetteahyung6351]

i was not expecting to cry over Crookedstar tonight :'D this is so lovely!

[@angiemiller6876]

I love how when Rainflower rejects him berry is like "ill love him like a son!! ❤

[@UnconsciousLaughter]

Love how the song fits perfectly and how you angled the light!! The moving is great! Drawing? Such art!

[@jaelyyymar8071]

The Erins had such a good opportunity for Brambleberry to have a secret adoption arc and missed it

[@Artic58]

It’s so cute how Brambleberry takes care of Crookedkit/paw/jaw/star

[@swirlshine]

THIS IS SO WELL MADE AND TELLS THE STORY SO BEAUTIFULLY! I'm in love ;-;

[@entitledbobcat]

I started tearing up at shellheart giving him a life and now I’m just actually crying. This was beautiful

[@Sillysleepiness]

OH MY GOSH I LOVE CROOKEDSTAR ♡♡♡ ;_; this made me also adore Brambleberry, she was such a good mother figure to him when Rainflower practically abandoned him. Now I wonder what would've happened if she wasn't there for Crooked... Mapple's influence would've definitely been even bigger. So all hail Brambleberry! ^^

[@tabbytheamazing8004]

I love how there's a gap on his forehead.. its like the star was always meant to be there ❤

[@thundergrowl]

Finally someone who remember his foster family at the barn. I feel like it was such an important part of his life that everyone just forgot about

[@TopsyTriceratops]

Absolutely beautiful! I love your PMVs, they hold a nice little summary and story for each character they cover. I think Crookedstar needs more attention, like Longtail, as both of them are tragic characters (though Crookedstar much more so). I look forward to more PMVs from you, they're gorgeous!

[@BlueMoonRaccoon016]

this has become one of my favorite warrior cats pmvs. you did a great job telling the story, i liked the song choice, and the art style is really nice.

[@KristiHope17]

So beautifully done, honestly one of my favorite books in the Series. Crookedstar is such a great and strong character who has been through so much.

[@the-niseee]

Such a wonderful artstyle! You picked a very fitting song~ good that you took the time to actually animate the whole thing. Thanks for blessing our eyes!!

[@cherrypop4417]

i had a theory that when Crooked saw Maple for the first time it was Maple trying to give Appledusk's clan a second chance (in a weird way), but seeing as Crookedstar didn't know anything at the time he refused due to not wanting to follow in Mapleshade's footsteps.

[@smokyferns9433]

I love this so much. Your art and lighting abilities are amazing. The lighting is so soft and amazing and everything about this is super cool! Amazing work! :) (Also that Shellheart design rocks!)

[@Echofrost5]

Shellhearts design was really cool- very unique

[@BreadyFoxy]

3:34 - I Love how Rainflower is in there waiting for Crookedstar. This scene made me cry.

[@helloooopeeps5633]

Ah, this is so beautiful. I love Crookedstar so much, he became such a great cat despite the terrible things he had to live through, and the way you depicted that here was wonderful!

[@astxriism6306]

Seeing crooked star at the very end made me cry-

[@MovedToPhantomTheUmbreon]

i love your mapleshade design!!!!! it’s so pretty! i love this pmv! it’s one of my favourites! brambleberry was literally a better mother than rainflower yet brambleberry was never allowed to have kits, which i find quite interesting! i can’t stop watching this pmv!!! poor crooked star went through alot

[@sketchcat9192]

what is this liquid swamping my face why cant i see straight is this beauty at its peak ✨ i think it is ✨ great work, really !! the song choice was perfect for not only crookedstars story, but his relationships with others and your artstyle !! keep it up !!

[@CASEF1LES]

this is so wonderful!! your colors and shading look so nice and it goes really well with your art style!! you really captured the expressions and movements greatly!!

[@SkilatiLu]

I can’t even begin to express how amazing this is… the colors, backgrounds, character design… the expressions and timing really sold it to me, and I felt the emotion!

Tbh I don’t really like long pmvs but THIS ONE HAS ME HOOKED I LOVE IT SMM

[@wildheartthetawnyowl8286]

It's 6am, and I've rediscovered this masterpiece, and now I'm sobbing tears of joy. You've done such an amazing job, he's my favorite character and this little PMV summarizes all the reasons why in just 3 minutes and 41 seconds!

[@Echofrost5]

Awww the endingggggg I loved Crookedstar’s book, and I love this just as much! It was all so sad and you made it even better- in a sad happy way... does that makes sense? Idk but ya! I love this!

[@Kayithekat]

The fact that crookedstar’s life sucks is that he lost his brother,father,mother,mate,two of his kits are just sad

[@FarFam363]

AMAZING WORK you are a really great animator! It tells the story of crookedJaw/star’s promise really well! Amazing job!

[@fudgel3mon640]

I think crookedstar is amazing and this map helps show that! Thank you for this amazing art!

[@That1VideoGamer]

Even though im new to the Warriors fandom, and haven't read all the books, this story of Crookedstar is so heartbreaking. Being basically abused by his mother, and for a dark forest cat to try and trick him but he overcoming them is so amazing, I can't wait to read about him.

[@quinn_slimeyboii6161]

my favorite part of Crookedstar’s Promise was when Oakkit offered to see the moth when Rainflower wasn’t impressed, i was sobbing fr

[@ladyshortperson637]

I just wanna appreciate how actually broken you made the jaw look! Every time I see Crookedstar art or anything it’s always just one tooth like sticking out when he didn’t just have a tooth poke out due to the incident, he broke his whole jaw!

[@JadeSpartan]

God I absolutely adore your work and style!!! I just watched everything on your channel so far, and your pacing is phenomenal in all of your animations. I love how with this one, you chose to focus on the happy parts of his life from a certain point on, and made it well paced. Keep up the amazing art!

[@FoxFrightYT]

DAWG I FEEL SO BAD FOR CROOKEDSTAR THIS GOT ME CRYING 😭😭

[@FremiiEdits]

I feel kind of bad for crooked star, especially when he got rejected by Rainflower, his mother, and his mate and kits all died except for silverstream who also died kitting graystripe’s kits, he lost so much but his reward was being an amazing clan leader! I also wish rainflower could be alive (not because I like her, I don’t)to see him become leader! She would’ve been so jealous and angry Edit: more videos like this please, they’re amazing

[@Ghoul1x]

With Crookedstar and his kits, you just *know* that if anything happened to his kits (such as broke their leg or something) that permanently damages then, he'd still love them the same as he had before, because he knows what it's like to be neglected because of something that he couldn't control.

[@SudyCrumbz]

Petition for brambleberry to have her own book so we can get more mother son dynamic from these two

[@Oleander_flower]

Beautiful style!! I love crookedstar, he’s been through so much pain he doesn’t deserve but still he lives on bravely! This is just amazing work! Also love the way you animate. Edit 1: can’t stop watching this map!
