[@receptionist2998]

This really makes you think. Sure, when you're younger and told that the Dark Forest is where 'bad cats' go, you go "Yeah, okay." But you really start to realize how much of a terrible place the Dark Forest is when you think about it. Cats, no matter how damaged or hurt, can never die. They are just forever in pain and fighting for peace.

Dark Forest cats can die. Tigerstar's spirit gets killed, and it was an entire plot point that Ivypool killed Antpelt.

5:27 THIS PART RIGHT HERE- it’s so amazing and it makes me see the Dark Forest in a new light. It’s not just a spooky place where bad cats go. Cats constantly kill each other and die there. Ivypool witnesses all of this and I never considered how much it really messed her up. Like she’s watching a cat get murdered and trying not to scream out in pure terror, tears are running down her cheeks…I mean she’s practically still a kid. Poor thing.

BOSCHA PFP!

[@AoSStudioGraphics]

Honestly I love this map, at first I wondered why Hawkfrost wasn't mutilated but I wonder if towards the end of the song the lyrics can be connected like "Every night always it never changes" meaning the Dark Forest cats don't want this stuff to happen, like how Mapleshade and Brokenstar are just sleeping the entire time, they're fighting to survive and have nothing to eat BUT cats, so they do to stave off the pain, and their bodies fall apart the longer they're there, and the more evil they do but have to in order to eat, and if they sustained injuries in life or something caused that evil those injuries come as some form in the Dark Forest, such as Brokenstar's tail and Brokenstar's eyes, or Mapleshade's kit belly. And the lines after "We know you want to deactivate us" and "Every night always it never changes" could be connected to the Dark Forest planning to take over the living cats- but not because they feel like it, but because the Dark Forest is slowly taking away their bodies and mind, and they want somewhere more peaceful to live.

[@cece6336]

Yeah, except Mapleshade wasn’t pregnant when she died. It’s an interesting choice to give her a belly tho, love it.

I never really read Warrior Cats (only ever read 2 of the books, but that was a few years ago), but I love looking at the MAPS! You guys did a good job and 5:28 was my favorite. It shows how others are experiencing a character's death from afar and how hard it is to stay quiet and stay hidden when someone dies and thinking if you could've done something or not to save them. The part also shows you that someone just died instead of showing the body or seeing the attack in action (like lunges or swipes). Nice.

[@KibaSnowpaw]

One of the things that really stands out to me about this Warriors Halloween Map Marathon 2021 is the attention to detail. The way MapleShade is depicted with her mother belly, and the way the Dark Forest is portrayed as a truly terrible place where cats are forever in pain and fighting for peace is incredibly thought-provoking and adds a new layer of depth to the series. The voice acting at the start is top-notch and I appreciate the effort put into making the map accessible to those who may not know much about the Warriors series. It's also cool that the captions make this just ever more amazing, like the gradient at 5:00 which brings a new level of immersion to the experience. I also love the way Ivypool's character is portrayed in this map. The way she seems to have stumbled into the Dark Forest by accident and how Hawkfrost and the others are chasing her adds a new level of tension and intrigue to the story. The designs of the map are absolutely stunning and the song choice is spot-on, adding to the eerie and tension-building atmosphere. One of the things that really impressed me is the portrayal of the darker aspects of the Warriors world. This map is not just sunshine-y and happy, it shows the darker and more complex parts of the series, and I really appreciate the effort put into creating this deeper and more nuanced portrayal. The fact that Ivypool is watching cats get murdered and trying not to scream out in pure terror, tears are running down her cheeks is truly heartbreaking, and it makes you think about the impact of war and violence on even the youngest and most innocent of characters. Overall, this Warriors Halloween Map Marathon 2021 is an excellent and incredibly creative project. The level of participation is impressive and the attention to detail is truly impressive. I would highly recommend this to any Warriors fans or anyone who is interested in the series. A big thank you to all who supported this project and to the creators for their hard work and dedication. #WarriorCats #HalloweenMapMarathon2021 #MapleShade #DarkForest #Ivypool #Hawkfrost #Spottedleaf #FanIdea #TensionBuilding #Eerie #Impressive #Creative #ExcellentJob #AttentionToDetail #VoiceActing #Designs #StoryTelling #DarkerAspects #Heartbreaking #WarAndViolence.

I love how the gore is completely real and how mapleshade is just tempted to find her “friends” to “pick on”, your really amazing for this to be your. Btw, I love the skulls, blood, gore, and ribs are like, sooooooo realistic! You did good! Go FISHSOCKS!

Hawkfrost's voice in the beginning gave me major beetlejuice vibes- the entire map was super well done, it all came together awesomely!

Mapleshade looks so fluffy though 🗿 Edit: 2:06 the person who drew the cat to the left new what they where doing 💀💀💀 (for y’all who don’t understand it looks like The Mangle from FNaF)

[@leahadler4768]

Okay so I’ve been a warriors fan ever since I was a little kid and I’ve seen a LOT of Halloween maps revolving around the dark forest and by far, this is the absolute, most horrifying one I’ve ever seen. (Alongside, it’s alright, of course). Of course, all Halloween maps have their own beauty and unique spooky feel to it, but I must say, this really caught grip of the horrifying factor of Halloween. So amazingly done, can’t believe I’m seeing this three days late 😂

[@MintyyIsOdd]

When Warriors was the first fandom you ever joined and you're a FNAF fan too- this is utter perfection

..I'm now always going to see Hawkfrost with ft Freddy's voice.. dear God.. Amazing map! I also adore the tw at the beginning, so fluid and- just great! Everyone did amazing and I can't even say, in a more detailed way, how good this is! I'm in awe, between this map, and the " This is Halloween" map, this is, hereby, the BEST Halloween ever.

[@LilNachoo]

Honestly funtime Freddy's voice makes him so much more scary I love it. Plus bon bons voice with mapleshadw is perfection.

this map is everything i could want from an 'it's me' sequel and more! all the animators did such a good job and that over the top warning at the beginning was so unexpected and charming!

[@louixie.]

Still floored by the quality of this!! Each part had some top tier movie rendering and art!! And the backgrounds and art direction are just divine!! THE INTRO WAS GOLD I LOVE IT AND THE PASSION PUT INTO EVERYTHING ALL THE WAY TO THE OUTRO CREDS ABSOLUTELY BLEW MY MIND!

I have not read a single Warriors book, but oh my I think I’m about to. The things I love about this map is that, the characters, they are so beautifully designed and have very readable expressions! They are exaggerated but in a way that’s not too over the top. Love it!

[@Birbzz]

budgie pfp woo!

Did you end up reading any?

[@airconditionedBreeze]

One of the coolest maps I've watched There's one thing, I regret watching it at 10 pm.

[@cierraswanson9811]

I watched the warning and stayed anyway. I can stomach a lot, but I was actually surprised and just how much gore this one had. Twas damn good, much praise. Also Legfrost at the end was the MOST horrifying thing I've ever seen. 100/10 best Halloween MAP imo to date.

I'm 14 now and 3 years ago I watched this when I was a kid and I absolutely loved it, still do because the voice acting at the beginning amazed me

[@1Sleepy_Ghost]

My jaw dropped it's just as I imagined the dark forest how no one is safe from anyone. I love how the dark red orbs represent the dark forest cat and the whwhite is starclan. I think this is the best dark forest map in my opinion. The details in this is incredible. The designs are amazing too.

[@oapressiveo5924]

That was litterally the best map I’ve seen in 4 years- my jaw dropped - I had a heart attack watching this it was beautiful and it really does feel like a movie! The end credits are a masterpiece and the beginning part was amazing! It was a unique warning. And the whole map was crispy. Worth the wait.

[@Varrbariouss]

I feel like the newest and younger artist have the definition if gore wrong. Is just not blood and bruises. IS LITERAL ENTRAILS EVERYWHERE, like this animation. This was incredible, i congratulate everyone who was part of this. That ending caught me off guard😂😂😂

[@Sunflower_lake]

The voice actor for hawkfrost did amazing! Good job on the map guys!

[@Pineconedoter]

Honestly one of the best experiences to take part of, it was so stressful but so much fun and I'm beyond happy with how things came out. It was absolutely wonderful to work with fish and the other host to get this monster out in time, and I cannot wait to work more with you all in the future. I adore this map more than anything, and it's so sad to see it over- but alas! Next year will just have to be better >:)) Amazing job everyone

[@AlbertWesker-vm1pp]

As a teenager that draws a lot of gore art this is super amazing. I love “you can’t hide”. Everyone is such an amazing animator.
