The Ballad of Frecklewish // A Complete Winter Themed Frecklewish MAP 

18/07/2023 Thank you so so so soo much for the 50K views!! I love seeing all the love she's getting after all this time, I hope you all are liking this types of maps, currently started to work on a very special map again revolving this beloved character and would love to see the same amount of love in this new project. Love ya, Hydra!

Frecklewish was definitely not a saint in anyway but in some ways she is tragic, especially after she lost her brother, believed an awful lie from someone she actually trusted, died a gruesome death and not only was she sent to hell but she was pulled away from her brother entirely, the one she even grieved over for so long Frecklewish never deserved the dark forest and the Erin’s can suck it 😌

watching her get so close to starclan just to fall back at the last second was HEARTBREAKING 😭 incredible project, everyone has done incredible on this!

It's such a cruel irony that Starclan put the kits in danger by sending an omen to Ravenwing, and then they decide to put Frecklewish in the dark forest for not wanting to save them 🤦‍♀ Great map!

The authors saying she deserves the dark forest because SHE DIDN'T TRY TO DROWN HERSELF saving those kits is ABSURD. Like they sent Juniperclaw to the Dark Forest and he died saving Shadowsight and Violetshine. ABSURD. Absolutely ABSURD. 💯

This was such an interesting concept, the snake being an actual part of mapleshade was so clever! I loved watching this map, the pacing was on point! I never got tired of what could happen next, each part was so beautiful and told their story so well, amazing job everyone!

I LOVE the designs of these kitty cats! Especially Frecklewish's! Mapleshade looks like a fine diabolical villainess with her snake marking coming to life! And Birchface looks like such a gentlemannn NICE

I like how you made it so Frecklewish was on her way to StarClan but Mapleshade sent a snake and it dragged her to the Dark Forest. Interesting way for her to go there instead! Also great job!!

This is now my headcanon for what actually happened! Mapleshade and the other DarkForest cats kept Frecklewish against her will in the DarkForest, and she can't escape to StarClan. Makes a lot more sense than what actually happened!

Omg this is amazing! I love the concept. Hardly anyone shows how she felt after death or if they do, it's usually right after she's been sent to the DF rather than the in between. Also the designs are awesome. Frecklewish looks so elegant and sad while Mapleshade looks very conniving cruel.

An exceptional maproject!!!! Everyone did so well and presented such an intriguing and creative storyline with their talented skills!!! Always glad to see more Frecklewish content/MAPs too, bravo to all involved in this lovely project and to the awesome host!!! :3

I mean. If Frecklewish deserves the Dark Forest, then Ravenwing DEFINITELY does, too. He acknowledges that he knows the kittens are going to suffer even before he tells the clan, then when he does, he stand right beside Oakstar as he uses the prophecy to demonize three innocent children and cast them out during a storm. (It’s even implied Raven himself said they’re a danger to him beforehand from the way Oak said it) He had every chance to speak up and help the kittens, but he used his position to push them out.

I don’t know anything about Warrior Cats because I never read any of the books, so I was watching this out of context. But I DO know that this was an awesome map, and it was sad that she was so close to heaven with her friend, but the antagonist forced her to remain in hell, and her friend is trapped in heaven unable to help her again.

I had lots of fun in this map! And everyone’s parts are absolutely fantastic!! Happy holidays and I hope all of y’all’s day is filled with happiness!!

OMG FRECKLEWISH OPENING HER PRESENT IN END🥺❤️

BALLAD OF JANE DOE BEST SONG CONFIRMED?

In my opinion, Frecklewish didn’t deserve the dark forest, but she genuinely could have TRIED to save them, or at least called out to Mapleshade to tell her it was too dangerous. She was there and she shouldn’t have stood there and watched. In fact, the whole clan broke the warrior code. “No cat is to turn kits away no matter their origin”, they could have at the least escorted Mapleshade, to ensure the safety of the kits, to Riverclan or to the outskirts of the territory such as twoleg place. Or kept the kits and exiled Mapleshade, there were capable queens and cats who could have taken care of them and they wouldn’t have known of their father, sure that’s not the most IDEAL but it could have been better than the fate Oakstar bestowed upon them. Frecklewish did not deserve the dark forest, but she also didnt deserve the title of a good cat. And Ravenwing didn’t deserve the title of a good cat either. He could have just let it go. They were kits. Kits who did not deserve such a fate all because of the mistakes of their parents and clans. In a way, it really goes to show how truly cruel starclan is. Starclan is not full of saints, and the dark forest is not full of villainous cats. Everyone makes mistakes, it’s the level of said mistakes that you should be judged on. Starclan is corrupt and half the cats in the dark forest were misunderstood, framed, or coerced. In a way I feel like starclan was really never meant to be a group of saintly figures. Beautiful map though! I very much enjoyed the art work and the song, it was quite wonderful

this map is so good!! i love ride the cyclone and warrior cats, so this is wonderful! i also adore how frecklewish’s design slightly resembles jane doe herself.

So happy to see it finished!! All the participants did such an awesome job. I loved Frecklewish's expressions when she got dragged back to the Dark Forest, it was so clear how desperate she was.

Everyone did so so beautifully. Thank you sm for letting me be apart of this!

Frecklewish 👏 deserves 👏 better 👏

Thank you for allowing me to be part of this! The idea was amazing, and deserved all the attention it got

The balled of Frecklewish gave me jack stauber vibes you know that one song about a ham girl its the balled of hamantha

OMG I LOVE RTC! Frecklewish fits Jane so well!

The only way I will ever accept Freckle going to the DF is if Maple somehow managed to drag her there. That's it. I refuse to accept Starclan themselves sending her there when the more guilty parties in the deaths of the kits went to Starclan

Despite how cold i am, this warms me up so much. Freckle wish (TC) deserves better than what the eirns did to her. Edit:Thanks for 14 likes

Thanks For letting me and Blazestar be a part of this map and thanks so much for the help and being an awesome host! God bless you all reading this! Merry Christmas

Mapleshade's design is so good! I love it so much!

i like that she looks a little like jane doe/penny lamb from ride the cyclone :)

does anyone ever wonder why Frecklewish never appears in the Place of No Stars in the books?

My analogy was that she only went to the Dark Forest for breaking rule #12 of the Warrior Code " No warrior can neglect a kit in pain or danger, even if the kit is from a different Clan. " Now , I don't think she deserved the dark forest , but in a sense she did get the repricussions of her actions - just in a more extreme way than she should have . MapleShade killing her was the repricusssion enough , and by effect that's one of the reasons MapleShade went to the Dark Forest . But whether she was murdered or not , that does not justify her breaking the code . She did not deserve the Dark Forest , she really didn't - however , if she broke the warrior code for any reason , it's her own fault and whatever happened to her was a direct result of her not saving those kids . She is not as much at fault as Maple , Raven , Apple , Reed , and especially Oak - but she did play a part in her own death .

thank you for allowing me to be part of this wonderful MAP!! it was a joy to be apart of

this is absolutely amazin’! The concept is really cool and all the animators did incredible, happy holidays and soon to be new year everyone ^^

THIS MAP IS STUNNING!! It’s crazy how underrated this map is! Can’t wait to see it blow up. Seriously spectacular job to all the participants and the host! Merry Christmas of whatever holiday you celebrate.

oh this has gotta be one of my favorite maps as of recent

I hope Freckelwish gets retconned into Starclan soon. She does not deserve the Dark Forest at *all*

OHHH MY GOSH THUS IS PHENOMENAL the design lore off mapleshade is such a cool weapon!! its almost like a reason shes there in the first place, like she was dragged down there.

thank you for having me this map! was a lot of fun to work on and a joy to meet you all

IT WAS SO FUN TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING ME ^^

RIDE THE CYCLONE!!! THIS IS AMAZING :000

This map is amazing!

I’m a little late, but this MAP truly turned out fantastic. Every participant should be proud- you’re all so talented! I expect everyone to keep up the amazing work!

EY! This was a fun ride to be on. Everyone did a great job!

god you have no idea how long i’ve waited for this!! especially since i rewatched rtc today. everyone did amazing, merry christmas :)

Omg this is such a unique and incredible map!!! The emotion coming from frecklewish and the chase scene where frecklewish was trying so desperately to get into starclan was heartbreaking!! Not to mention the designs for everyone!! Everyone did absolutely amazing!!

the music and animation are wonderful,, it fits freckle’wish so well!! everyone did such an amazing job!

I love it! Merry Christmas! ❄️

Frecklewish is... confusing I think that she deserves the dark forest, but only in a universe where cats like Appledusk and Oakstar also do. Apparently, Starclan is ok with child endangerment, but only if you're the leader ;-;

i LOVE that more concepts are coming out for dark forest frecklewish. amazing map

Ride the Cyclone with Warrior Cats?? I thought I'd never see the day! Everyone did so good!

Oh my goodness. I saw the map call and it was so gorgeous! I can’t believe it’s done!!! Everyone did so amazing, well done!

0:47 her tail ran away

Petition for part 2 where Mapleshade performs Sugar Cloud 👇

The present for her under the tree that she’ll never get to receive broke my heart. Edit: WAIT YES- 7:26

beautiful map! all the partictpants did an amazing job!

THAT WAS INCREDIBLE!!! Everyone did such an amazing job and it was so much fun working with you and everyone else, so glad i was able to be part of such an amazing MAP! (which you and Winelys did an amazing job hosting btw💖)

i wanna thanks you hydra to have me as a cohost and also participant of this amazing map! every single participant did so awesome and i love everyone was able to help each other no matter what! this map its gonna be amazing! once again thanks you and congrats everyone who made their part!!

I love the snake design for Mapleshade! I also think it's silly that Frecklewish ended up in the dark forest in canon... Justice for Frecklewish!

This MAP came out amazingly!!! I’m so happy to have been part of this awesome project!!!

This looks fantastic, the design looks amazing and everybody did an extraordinary job

Two of my favorite things in one. Ride the Cyclone and warrior cats! This song makes me cry and this is a truly beautiful MAP ❤✨

This was a really sad map and everyone's parts worked smoothly with each other's.!

WOOOOOW ITS A CUTEE

AHHF I LOVE RIDE THE CYCLONE omg i never really cared for frecklewish much in the series but this map made me get the feels for her,, being forgotton and basically just,, wow!! the mapleshade and her snake design was so clever and i love the winter theme and the ties in with the og song meaning ,, ah its so beautiful! i love this so much yo

Thank you so so much to let me be a part of this. It was so much fun to see everyone's parts come together, and I'm so happy to have watched TBoF come together bit by bit, even as soon as I saw it in the original MAPathon! Let me just say, the designs for the characters are absolutely stunning!! They reflect the characters personalities so well. And I love how Maple shade has a snake on her shoulder! It's a small detail, though it really adds so much. As for the parts, Each and every one looks absolutely GORGEOUS! Complete with character animation and backgrounds, there's not one moment in this MAP where I'm bored. In fact, during the primere I was quite literally shaking. Everything is so smooth, and it flows so well!! Great job to all the participants. And you and Wine hosted this wonderfully!! It ran so smooth, and you guys are so kind ❤️ Thank you for putting this together! This is easily one of my most favorite MAPs. And I WILL watch it a hundred times at least.

It Came Out Really Amazingly!

Thank you again for having me, I'm so proud of the whole team this map looks great !!

MAN!!! that was amazing!!!! i’m impressed with how we all got it done in a MONTH… insane… and TO BE CONTINUED??? :0!! next christmas i guess…

AHHHHHHHHHH ITS SO GOODDDD !!!! I LOVE RIDE THE CYCLONE SO MUCH THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love Frecklewish, I don't think she deserved the Dark Forest

This map is so sad and pretty.... 😭

Beautiful!

I was so excited for this to come out!! This is amazing!!!!!

Sorry I missed the premier BUT THIS IS GORGEOUS

THIS IS SO COOL❤❤❤❤😮😮

oh my god frecklewish map???? YES PLEASE

This was so good! Comment 111

OH ME GOSH ITS RTC AND WARRIOR CATS 🤯🤯❤️

Ride the cyclone moment anyways since nobody did a mapleshade one I will do that now

LESS GOO XD i love how it turned out omg! Its been sm fun participating!!

I used to be a mapleshade apologizes because I could understand why she kind the leader and appledusk but then what she did to Freckledwish I was eh ig then cookedstar got me like no I love this and freaked wish my be one of my favorites

Oh man. Frecklewish and Mapleshade ended up in the same place. That’s awkward.

Did she really go to the dark forest? Man, she didn't deserve that.

I just realized she has hair on her head :0

Wait, so when i got to the description of the MAP call, i didn't see the link to the designs and stuff, so how do you get there,?

That was great. So is the concept here that cats are transferred to the Dark Forest when they're forgotten by the living? If not, why was Frecklewish sent there?
