yr the best • ashfur pmv • blood and tbc spoilers

This took forever hdgdgfgg. It’s not perfect but I like how it turned out! I’m proud of it.
Song: Yr the Best! by CarpetGarden
Characters are from Warriors by Erin Hunter
Characters in order: Ashfur, Squirrelflight, Firestar, Brambleclaw, Hawkfrost, Hollyleaf (silhouette), Imposter Bramblestar

[@thecattking]

I really like the idea of in the beginning Squirrelflights eyes are closed, making her look petite and beautiful while also showing how Ashfur is blind to the truth and how to properly express love. This changes at the fire scene where her eyes are wide open and clearly angered showing a more ragged and worn down appearance also expressing the truth: how Squirrelflightisn't just something for Ashfur to Obsess over. Just a little detail I like :)

[@NeatoDragons]

Thank you so much for noticing!!!

[@SuperHeroTiger]

Whoa! The imagery of Ashfur using Bramble's pelt like a wolf in sheep's clothing is so amazing and unique!

[@fleureaux]

This is criminally underrated

[@adeleyinfeifei]

So true

[@princeramblerose]

im losing it over the way you draw imposter bramble, and your art style goes so hard in this too

[@Basilthefirefly]

I love how the background changes. At first it was pink when Ashfur loved Squirrelflight. Then it turned gray-blue, when Ashfur changed and became evil. There’s so much attention to detail and I love it

[@baileychapman05]

Poor squirrelflight, she deserved better! Even though she didn’t love ashfur, she still showed friendship and affection towards him, though he wanted more. He needed to accept the fact that the world doesn’t orbit around him, and though he didn’t get exactly what he wanted, he got what he deserved, (love as a friend from Squirrelflight) and he should be happy about it. Okay ashfur, life sucks sometimes but you gotta suck it up and move on!!

[@glanier6218]

Didnt she love him for like, 3 hrs, then realized yknow, hes frikin trash?

[@nichollle]

did you intentionally use yellow carnations to symbolize rejection? i love this

[@NeatoDragons]

I did not tbh, I just went “hehe flower”

[@whatshouldbemynamep3701]

I DIDNT KNOW THIS THANK YOU I WILL USE IT ONE DAY WHEN I CAN ANIMATE >:333

i thought it was yellow rosed which represent "friendship" and/or "jelousy" both work lol!

This song was MADE for ashfurs arc. The style of the animation was so wonderful - I love the way ashfur wears bramblestar’s pelt. I’ve seen a few people talk about the symbolism of bramble giving squirrelflight a squirrel/ holding a squirrel in his mouth. I think it’s maybe a brief visual of brambles own abuse of her? I thought it was a nice touch 🥰

[@NeatoDragons]

I’m glad you picked up on that!!!

[@julianalipira2991]

Its not abuse lol.

[@neofrxst]

@@julianalipira2991 it is abuse lol.

[@stardustfrin]

​@@julianalipira2991it's definitely abuse lmao

[@VyrewoIf]

There’s something so elegant about this style, like the eyes are gorgeous and even the blood looks pretty

[@louixie.]

THIS IS SO PHENOMENAL WOW! the style and tweening is so pretty, the details and symbolism are so well thought out and it all looks so visually pleasing! gorgeous work!

[@aesyiia]

This has to be my top favorite design for imposter BrambleStar, I know it's small but the detail with his mouth showing just beneath the fake pelt when he puts down the flower is my favorite panel.

[@greenhousestudios7703]

WHERE I BEGIN THIS IS SO GOOOOOODDD My favorite detail is Firestar looking at Ashfur with disdain at "if you touch me lover" simply because thats how I always viewed that relationship Ugghh so niiice

[@jittercritter]

ASH WEARING BRAMBLE’S PELT WAS INCREDIBLE

[@bruh5547]

HC:i feel like ashfur honestly was lowkey attracted to Hawkfrost, which is how he got him to try and help kill firestar

[@pr3m1vm74]

I get this is like a theory but I’d like to point out (for those who don’t know) that Ash only helped to make Bramble look bad

[@bruh5547]

@@pr3m1vm74 this actually adds to my theory i kind of imagine that hawkfrost envied and despised brambleclaw like, tigerstar invited bramblclaw to come to shadowclan as an apprentice, but was dead before hawkfrost knew him and i feel he knew brambleclaw was going to wimp out on taking over all the clans, which grew his bitterness towards his halfbrother which then made him take advantage of ashfur to help make brambleclaw kill firestar after that didnt work, he was just tired of things not going his way and tried to kill brambleclaw

[@LmaoMeowz]

@@pr3m1vm74 it was also to hurt Squirrelflight not just Bramble

[@swiftyoooo]

Wait BI ASHFUR???

[@dragonisms]

That moment when ur ex's bf's brother is kinda hot but then dies: _dammit_

[@brandonreyna7924]

ok BUT YOUR FIRESTAR DESIGN IS OUTSTANDIGN IM GONJNA CRY

[@una_vita]

I love the detail that bramble gave her a squirrel

[@kalestars5104]

I love how imposter bramble does the exact same moves as ashfur vs how bramble approached squirrelflight!!

[@liz-anne2432]

Everyone: Ashfur was a better bf than Bramble Ashfur: *tried to murder her kids,* *possesses her husband,* *exiles everyone,* *genuinely makes squilf sad,* "I'm the better guy!"

[@worm6142]

You also forgot he helped trying to kill her father

[@liz-anne2432]

@@worm6142 yeah! That's not how you get the girl bro😂

[@liz-anne2432]

@Viridiana EnriquezAntonio me too he was so sweet and just wanted to please everyone

[@thishuman1621]

I know, but that was after he got rejected. Before that, he was a genuinely nice guy with enough built up rage inside that one push of a button could make him explode. I think if Squilf did choose him, she might have numbed the pain. Maybe.

[@msbellebelle]

@@thishuman1621 yeah, honestly, he treated her so much better than bramble did at the time. I have no idea why she decided to go back to bramble when he was literally nothing but rude to her, meanwhile, ashfur was genuinely caring and nice.

[@Chip2Changeling]

Bramble bringing her a Squirrel that matches her pelt exactly.. ah, that's such a neat little subtle touch..! I don't read the books but I do like to watch animations and learn about the characters, and from what I'm aware of Bramble is quite the abusive mate to Squirrelflight? so that's such a nice subtle little detail. Even though the video focuses on Ashfur, it still subtly nods to the fact that she hasn't simply picked a kind man over a cruel one.. And there's so much more of that subtle symbolism in this video--the flowers Ashfur offers, for one, being wilted during the fire...

[@gekko2908]

I thought the part of bramblestar and squilf where he has a squirrel in his mouth might symbolize something but my brain can't think of a good theory

[@charl113e34]

BrambleStar being abusive to her BrambleStar was extremely horrible to her in the books and treated her poorly, maybe thats what it means?

[@Cutelycommitstoasterbath]

It symbolizes him treating her as prey, and the moment he gave it to her was symbolizing when he acted like a good mate.

[@mcshell5872]

I love how you showed Bramblestar’s impostor! The way impostor Bramblestar circles Squirrelflight with flowers just like Ashfur did really portrays this! Squirrelflight notices it too, she’s pretty disturbed lol.

[@bear_rrr]

**casually slips into best pmvs ever playlist**

[@NorthBlight]

just a small detail I noticed, but Squirrelflight's eyes are supposedly closed up until the fire scene. I find this a great resemblance of her association with Ashfur, as it makes it seem like she finally "Opened her eyes" and saw Ashfur's true intentions in his final living moments before he'd ultimately possess Bramblestar.

[@Serashrimp]

( Mosura Here ) WAAAAAAH I LOVE THIS SO MUCH,, YOU'RE EXTREMELY TALENTED CAT!! IN LOVE WITH THE COLORS AND YOUR STYLE AND I ADORE THEIR DESIGNS ASWELL!!!!
