You Make Me Feel - COMPLETED MAPLESHADE MAP

Mapleshade gets rejected by her Clan and mate and loses her kits. With nothing left but grief, she struggles and fails to stay sane and not take it out on others.

Ashfur didn't really directly kill anyone. He did help trap Firestar, but he didn't actually ever fight and kill anyone. Mapleshade definitely had a much better reason for trying to kill people, but she succeeded whereas Ashfur didn't. If Ashfur's plans had worked, he would have gone to the Dark Forest. He should have anyway, but that's not how StarClan works.

[@LadyCallow]

Forgotten Dreams Don’t only blame Appledusk. Both Maple and Apple were in this together. Oakstar should be blamed by the sake of the kits faith as well as Darkstar. Their kits are dead and Apple and Maple paid the price.

[@user-wu4ie4wy4b]

N- Novinite I guess you’re right.

[@Daniel-mt9oi]

Yes. Honestly it got to me too, and it was technically his fault.

[@alinetitus2873]

Actually, it’s not appledusk’s fault bc the only reason why mapleshade went on a killing spree is because she saw illusions of her kits wailing so she thought if she killed crow feather, frecklewish, and appledusk Her kits would be free When mapleshade was dying alone. She was waiting for her kits to thank her but instead she ends up in the dark forest as you all know Mapleshade wasn’t evil. She was killing to free her kits - well she THOUGHT if she killed those cats her cats would be freee for some reason but I can’t blame her for doing that

[@lesliewolfe7643]

Lady Callow I almost cried at that part

[@WillowTheLacera]

Maple was already my favorite villain in Warriors, being one, if not the ONLY villain with a motive that actually makes sense, being led by love only to be stabbed in the back for following her heart, then fighting to get, what she feels as revenge for her dead kits. This MAP did a fantastic job of showing that, especially the last scene of her kittens running away from her in fear, telling her that she may have gone too far, but at that point it was too late to go back. Good job for getting me to feel more sympathy for a cat that I had already loved.

[@hotdogkitty]

I dont read the series, but mapleshade doesn't seem evil to me, she just want revenge :b I still love mapleshade any way

I feel the same about mapleshade and appledusk but I also don't like Reedshine, I don't exactly know why but she didn't care about mapleshade and really was a bit of a jerk in my eyes

[@LadyCallow]

I don't have a name I don’t think she wouldn’t care really. I think deep down inside she knew Appledusk was a bit of a jerk too. So she didn’t want to say anything to make him even more mad, since she too was pregnant and she needed a mate for her kit’s father

[@Theartisticyoshi]

EGGPRIEST I think the issue is more of how the blood loss was presented rather than how much. I mean, blood usually comes out at a consistent rate, not like all of a sudden THE FLOODGATES HAVE OPENED AND EVERYTHING GOES WHOOSH. However, I don't want that part to change, as I love how the blood loss is presented.

@@LadyCallow she had hallucinations of her kits telling her to kill. And yes, her victims weren't saints, but they were not guilty either. They didn't deserve to die. Ravenwing was a medicine cat and he had received an omen, so he had to tell. He's not to blame, Oakstar is. Frecklewish found out that her friend had had kits with the cat that killed her brother, so of course she was heartbroken. When she saw them drowning she didn't try to save them, but honestly, she simply couldn't have. She was a thunderclan cat that couldn't swim. If not even the RiverClan cats couldn't save them, there's no way she would have been able to. She would have just drowned most likely. Appledusk, I have already explained that his only fault, to me, was cheating on Mapleshade. The only ones that I truly blame here are the leaders, Oakstar and Darkstar.

[@complicatrix7602]

I much prefer the ending to this than the canon ending to Mapleshade's life. It just seems more climactic for her to die from the wounds given by Appledusk than anything else.

[@Tayplets]

HOLY SHIT THIS SO GORGEOUS OH MYYYYYY This is so emotional! And the song is chosen very accurately. Red-white scenes are particularly notable for their tension. Contrast is created between the parts of the story, and this is great! I particularly liked the parts that showed how Mapleshade was trying to save her kittens. The sudden transition to the battle with Appledusk was also amazing. Because the viewer empathizes with Mapleshade and perfectly understands her motives. Not because she wants blood, not because she is a villain, because she lost the most expensive for her. The death of kittens was an emotional trauma for Mapleshade, just like the Appledusk's betrayal. She had motives for revenge. And yeah, the ending is so marvelous. The whole MAP is marvelous. You made it marvelous! Thank you guys for this project. You are amazing :')

[@loonaq4406]

Flurryfeather well, she likely was internally bleeding from previous brawls- and when appledusk cut her throat he not only severed her jugular but potentially damaged her esophagus and airpipe in the process. In he last seconds of life, her heart desperately rushes blood to her body to keep her alive.. and when that happens, all of the blood it rapidly sent to her head gushes out not only through her severed jugular, but her entire esophagus.

Finally,a map that actually shows both sides of Mapleshade! I always see these maps where they pity her and say that Appledusk is the devil of cats, But honesty, if the cat that you didn’t love anymore was to be punished for obvious reasons, then would you really defend her and get yourself in trouble as well..? Another thing is when I see Mapleshade fans pitying her when she LITERALLY KILLED other cats! And your telling me that she doesn’t deserve to go to the dark forest? I guess you could blame Appledusk, but he was just trying to survive and like I said he didn’t really love Mapleshade anymore at that point. I love how this map shows how she’s both insane and wants revenge, but also shows a loving part and that she just wanted her kits to live happily. Great job!

i got confused with all the mapleshade maps but i finally found the one with the terrified looks on the kits' faces at the end holy heck this is a good one-

[@Snek86]

If any cats from Maple's time went to the dark forest, it should have been Oakstar and Appledusk.

[@_The_Lizard_King]

Appledusk didn't do anything to deserve that, but alright.

[@0.721x]

💀 Mapleshade is the only one who deserves to go to the darkforest

[@obbinss]

@@0.721x no she really isn't, she is not innocent by a long shot but neither are the others. Appledusk was unbelievably cold to her after she literally just lost her children and she wasn't even allowed to properly mourn their lost. yeah she was responsible for their deaths but she was just kicked out of her home and naturally thought them being with their father would be the best choice. oakstar took their anger out on innocent children and kicked them out during extremely dangerous weather when they were barely old enough to be out of the nursey and in doing so it lead to their deaths. they both deserve to be there, oakstar more so as they actively endangered the lives of kits when that's against the code so

[@0.721x]

@@obbinss Me when I lack reading skills: Another ignorant person who’s read that book with their eyes closed." He was unbelievably cold to her. "Uh, mate, are we reading the same damn thing?" She literally showed up with the corpses of his dead children. She did the exact thing he told her not to do. He warned her continuously to never bring them to the river, and she did it anyway. He was those kits parent too, and he has a right to be angry and moron about their deaths because he sees Mapleshade as the murderer of his children because she willingly did something that would put their lives in danger. She had other choices, but she refused to see them. She clearly didn’t love them enough if she was willing to constantly put them in danger just to see her cat boyfriend and seal ownership over him. Go read the book.

[@catthechaotic101]

5 years later I watched this MAP the day it came out, still as beautiful as ever.

[@teacupofdoom]

I love this entire map! All of the parts fit so well with the music, and everyone's art is amazing! The part at the end seals it so well, too. I love the way it shows flashbacks and then killings through the whole map, and how in the end even her kits are afraid of her. Mapleshade is my favorite warrior cats villain, so this map really made me happy! It fits her so well!

[@sphynxcatlover7829]

Great Job to everyone who worked on this, I loved how I went from normal colors to red and white. also the end HIT me with those feels!

[@soursmad]

I like the way that it's calm and suddenly it's a fight scence with blood and fight, then It turns calm again.

[@HeartgoldHarmony]

Happy mapleween to everyone today 🎃

[@thatchysaurus5673]

Honestly I think that Mapleshade should of downed with her kits, so she could be with them in starclan.

[@pickled_pup5549]

Or drowned herself after she found they were dead. (But then it wouldn't have been as interesting and she wouldnt have been as memorable or badass)

[@amarisrosalette3694]

Yeah I agree with your idea.

[@typicalsugarcookie8101]

But she went to the dark forest

[@towboats]

Aaaaaa it's amazingggg!! I watched the parts playlist so many times ugjvhdfvybgh The fight scene at the end flowed together so well! Great job everyoneee! And shoot uhh I think you put Kimi Cook on Deerwind's part as a watermark ;v;

[@cyclonvm5491]

ohmygod this is so perfect!! i love it, and everyone did such an amazing job with their parts

[@OwlPower669]

gOSH DAMMIT NOW I FEEL SORRY FOR MAPLESHADE HOW COULD EVERYONE PUT SO MUCH EMOTION IN THIS MAP IT'S AMAZING >:0

[@dragonseeker5474]

This is?? One of the most well done MAP's I've seen??? Everyone did amazing!!! Great job, you guys!!

[@thephoenixpearl]

Every map you host gets such a stunning result and this one is no exception! Everyone did such a great job and the flow between the parts is amazing! And I am really impressed by how your maps gets finished so fast, what is your secret? :O I really hope to be able to join one of your future maps, if I only had time from school and other projects I do, haaaaah... :' D

[@TheRedTigon]

Omgg, I hope that one day I can animate as well as these people! Everyone did so amazing!!

[@doggstaranimations8426]

TheRedTigress same. And hello XD

[@TheRedTigon]

@@doggstaranimations8426 oh hi there lol

[@doggstaranimations8426]

TheRedTigress I can’t stop rewatching this map, help 😂

[@teashark9878]

Sagutoya's part always gives me massive chills, it's go beautiful and so saddening..

[@Silly_Billy0225]

I can imagine that even though mapleshade is in the dark forest her kits still love her since they only got love and affection from her so I think that they would meet at the boarder and they would talk and hug and be a cute family, sorry if that’s not the best thought

[@billcipher8645]

Dark forest cats are cursed to be alone forever. That's what was said in one of the books, I believe, so sadly it wouldn't work..

[@billcipher8645]

@mrdoe97 Yeah I felt like it's so weird? Even in first 2 Omen books like Jayfeather with full confidence say that Dark Forest cats are cursed to be alone for eternity.. I'm still finishing the second one so I might be a little behind.

[@billcipher8645]

@mrdoe97 Yeah makes sense! I just wonder where it came from.. I feel like it might be just the authors changing the concept during the writing.

[@katethepotato7147]

Oml yes I love watching maps as they’re worked on and then the final product feels soooo good! Good job to every artist! 💙💙💙

[@WhyIsMyNameAlreadyTaken]

Perchpaw actually slit Mapleshade's neck but overall a really good map

[@RavenxWolff]

Right? I was surprised no one brought this up. I'm guessing it was an AU to fit with the video better? I don't know.

[@WhyIsMyNameAlreadyTaken]

@@RavenxWolff might be so.

[@LadyCallow]

Metal Cobra yep. It was the map caller’s decision to tell the story better for those who hasn’t read the book yet.

[@moved1292]

Minkfully Youth Actually he bit the side/back of her neck.

[@Dimstarfan]

Minkfully Youth I know but I sort of like this better.

[@vixy2321]

That last part made me sad for Mapleshade. Her kits are scared of there mother because of what she has become. Edit: Oof, that last part hit me like a truck.

[@th0rnedeclipse123]

Idk why people hate appledusk so much he save his mate and his kids, he wont go to the dark forest and he will be know like a hero (mapleshade is my favorite cat)

[@user-ws9ko1pu1y]

THIS WAS BEAUTIFUL! right on time for hallow's eve

[@Scytalis]

Oh my gosh, that was amazing!! Everyone did so well and I love every single part so much Great job, everyone! This perfectly captures Mapleshade's emotions during that time and I can't help but fangirl over everything :,>

[@dovacatthe_dragonborn6055]

3:29 *When you sneeze on your period*

[@eloora9590]

I lost count of how many times I replayed the last Sagutoyas 'cough up blood' scene. It gives chills in a nice way.

[@kaiproductions7564]

I love the Size difference between Maple and Apple.

[@HappyNickill]

3:05, I love this part

[@aria5981]

The way mapleshade was reaching for her kits, just gave me chills. So good!!!

[@polterboo3515]

I absolutely love the ending and how it actually makes you feel really sympathetic towards Mapleshade despite what she did to the other cats and just ties the whole thing together

[@nebulagooms]

Yesss It’s done! It’s super amazing :O Everyone did such an amazing job :3 I love Mapleshade

[@northstarcoyote6392]

2:51 Idk why but this reminds me of Simba vs. Scar

[@cassidy.s6855]

It's smoother than hamster fur- the animation bro

[@kingkingwong3924]

You're sort of right. Scar had Simba pinned down and Simba kicked him just like Maple kicked Appledusk. In this pinning and kicking process they're exactly the same.

[@KayTheFoxAlt]

That’s was amazing! The one thing I’ll say is that PerchPaw killed MapleShade not AppleDusk, but it’s still amazing.

[@biologyrules]

I feel really bad for her because she wouldn't have killed anyone if starclan/her imagination didnt say that she hade to get revenge for the kits! She wouldnt even have suffered as much if Appledusk didn't exist, and Birchfall would live a full life. Welp, Appledusk, you and Mapleshade should switch places in the afterlife.

[@RatPun]

Sagu’s part was the best!! Everyone did grreat

[@sushicatto9770]

The end broke my heart :(

[@BeastyBby]

I haven't commented yet? Waaa FOR SHAME! But this map turned out sooo good I cant get over it I've literally been re-watching it so many times halp. Everyone did amazing work and did amazing at hosting it ty for letting me have a part >u

[@kokobeans6907]

The last part broke me because of the kits running away as her last vision...It makes me broken...
