Despite the fact that I appreciate Stonefur much more, because when he learned the truth about his mother, he knew how to control himself and he didn't do bad things. Hollyleaf is like him, but she's done a lot of bad things without being able to control herself. I love their similarities and I'm glad that the fandom notices it. Redemption Hollyleaf was good, but I think if Stonefur ghost had been involved in it, it would have been even better.
It definitely wasn't out of character for hollyleaf to kill ashfur over it.. because she was already bold and hotheaded, but I do agree stonefur is more appreciateable lmao
I feel like the hurt for holly leaf was even worse because she was so uptight about the warrior code and then she found out she’s the result of a medicine cat code AND warrior code being broken and it was way too much to handle so she did what she did? But she really didn’t have to basically murder someone because she then became just like her biological mother and father to herself and I think that just pushed her over the edge to continue destroying herself and her parents and siblings :,/
Their situations were still quite different, hollyleaf felt backed into a corner with a need to stop ashfur from holding their secret over them, she'd been lied to by others who were much closer to her, and was younger, ofc it doesn't excuse her actions, murder is never ok, but if she hadn't felt betrayed by everyone and alone maybe she'd have had the support she needed, despite bluestars lie stonefur had a good support system, hollyleaf didn't, her brothers couldn't have provided the right support cause they were angry too
Omg that's really amazing! I never I noticed how much Stonefur and Hollyleaf had In common They were both halfclan, Ambitious and loyal to their clans, and then they discorver that they are halfclan and their family lied to them, they both felt betrayed, they are very similar but their stories got a totally different direction, but in the end they both sacrificed themselves for their clans I really loved It!!! I love this AU where Stonefur is watching Hollyleaf and trying guide her for not making the same (or even worst) mistakes as him. Every animator did a really amazing job!!
My favorite part was when Stonefur yells at Bluestar then chased her....only for Fireheart to intervene. And shows Bluestar with Mosskit, Stonekit and Mistykit while Stonefur and Mistyfoot's mouth is wide open in shock. Amazing!!! Stonefur is my favorite deputy so far in the books.
I think this is one of my favorite script for a map!! I had never considered the parallels between Hollyleaf and Stonefur before this, and you all did an amazing job telling their story!! And of course the animation of everyone was fantastic too!!! This is probably one of my favorite warriors maps now!
A problem I see a lot with certain warriors MAPs is that it's not clear what's going on or what the story is, especially if it tells about noncanon events. This is not one of those MAPs! I knew what was going on the entire time and it was an absolute delight to watch. Fantastic job everyone!!
these 3 years of wait were totally worthy it!!!! Look at this?!!! everyone did their best on their maps, it's so flawless and so well animated! great job everyone! also the script and the AU are so interesting!!! I love when ppl see how two characters have so much in common and unfortunately they didn't get the interaction they deserved! Stonefur is a guy whose story is so good yet so underspoken. I love how you made him watching Holly over since their stories are so similar!
This map is absolutely amazing! I love to think that stonefur watched over Hollyleaf/half-clan cats. The ending with stone fur singing after the participant credits was very epic. That part gave that very nice final touch to the map. Thank you for hosting this map! Also, participants, you all did great! All your parts were fantastic, the shading, animations, and backgrounds were phenomenal. Thank you everyone for bringing this map together for everyone to watch!
I never thought about how similar they were, both half clan and are angry at their real mothers before forgiving them, and then dying protecting someone else. The only difference is that Stonefur was older and acted much more mature about it, he was clan deputy after all, and Hollyleaf was a young warrior who still hadn’t found her place in both her clan and the prophecy she believed she belonged to
Thank you to this map for beginning my process of falling in love w this band :0 The amount of times I’ve rewatched this map is also a thing, I have lost count This song fits these two characters so wellllll Beautiful
This is so cool omg Stonefur was one of my favorites as a kid and now that Hollyleaf is one of my favorites today and back then I can’t believe I never connected the dots. And the MAP itself is absolutely breathtaking, amazing.
HDSFSG, GOTTA HOLD MY EMOTIONS- 3 years... 3 long years!! But my goodness, it was worth it!! It was worth is ten fold!! 😭 The work and patience put into this is incredible!! Well done to everyone, for real! Such an honor to have seen this💙
MAN!!! This map has me so hyped!! Every single part flows together so well it’s honestly so exciting to watch!! And the credits animation is EPIC!!! Well done everyone! Legendary MAP!
This has to be one of my absolute favorite maps, because of two things. The story-telling done by all the animators really caught my feelings, and the uniqueness of the similarities between these two characters that is getting the recognition it deserves. Well done!
Such a creative MAP!!!!!!! I love how both Stone & Holly are put together to see their differences and similarities, it's SO well-done! Everyone did so awesome, with the colour scheme, designs and impact!!
ok I already commented but I am back again... because you're already one of my fav artists, and so is everything everything. and you used these songs expertly >:0 I am so in love with this concept, it's basically canon to me. and the way the beat drops on night of the long knives there?? AHHHHH. this vid is criminally underrated

ITS BEEN TO LONG!!! Like 3 YEARS?? OMG This has been BY FAR the most anticipated for me, I've been following the progress for so long its SO INSANE to see it done?? Everyone did a FANTASTIC JOB, man I felt like crying on how good this looks and how happy I am to finally see it. Stonefur is my favourite wc character but I also love Hollyleaf dearly. Hands downs, THE BEST map of this year and in my top 5 favs of all time!!!
WOW WOW WOW This is absolutely gorgeous, the storyline is easy to follow and I absolutely love the concept for this project. Everyone did such an amazing job!
This is breathtaking. This was the MAP that originally caught my eye, because of to the blade being m favorite EE song, and got my interested in warriors in the first place. I'm blown away! Everyone did an amazing job and it shows how much hard work went into this.
Oh my god this is stunning! I’ve never thought about Stonefur and hollyleaf that much but they are so alike now that I think about it! Everyone did such a good job on this and the concept is amazing!
THIS WAS STUNNING!!! I’m a bit late but it’s better than never seeing it! Everyone did fantastic! Everything was smooth and flowed really well!! I never thought about Stonefur looking over Holly but this concept is great! I might HC this now.
Such a wonderful map. I always love to see this interesting aus. definitely stonefur was not one of the most remembered characters, but this idea is so good? I love the parallel between both of them. Also everyone did amazing with their parts.
thank you so much dark for organising such a great map!! I am very honoured I got to contribute alongside so many great artists, this map looks absolutely amazing, great work everyone!!
Been following this MAP’s progress since it released and the final MAP is so beautiful and rhythmic!! Such flowing animation, I especially love the expressions of stonefur and holly throughout! The ending scene is a wonderful touch to see then finally interact :)
This is seriously impressive, I never realised these two could connect in a way, but I'm so glad you guys realised it lmao! The animation is amazing, the staging, backgrounds, all of it. I ADORE this map!
Beautiful!!! The map flowed fantastically and everyone did amazing 🤩 loved this idea from the beginning and ye so wonderful to see the finished product
HOLYMOLY IT TURNED AMAZING !after so long the result is spactacular! Everyone did their part so well!! And the feeling from the map itself brought me shivers! Live it!!! :D
HOOO MY GOD THIS IS OUTSTANDING SO MUCH TALENT AND SKILL!!! This project has the production level of a full-fledged short film and I can’t get enough of it!!! Every single artist put their heart into fleshing out the emotion and gorgeous character designs, and I’m so freakin excited with the result!!! You all did AMAZING!!!! 💖💖💞✨
I have never read a warrior cats book. I'm not in the fandom, I'm not a therian, i have no interest in this sort of stuff. I just like this song. ... and even I can appreciate the crazy amount of effort and talent that goes into something like this, this is sick
WOW, I'm incredibly impressed by this MAP! The parts flow so well and every single part is animated beautifully!! Also I gotta say, those transitions take it to a whole new level!!
