WARRI0R CATS!!! my stupid battle cats
Warrior cats oh warrior cats YOU ARE SO DEAR TO ME. i have such fondness for this series ITS SO STUPID BUT but i love it so much still. will always be special to me.
The best thing about warriors though is the fandom. the creativity in the fandom. im actually sure theres probably a shit ton of drama BUT THE FANDOM IS SO CREATIVE like i search open map calls. 90% of them will be warriors themed. Most of my favourite animations ever are from this silly series SO YEAH BASICALLY THIS PAGE IS WHERE I LIKE ALL MY FAVOURITE ANIMATIONS
Okay. starting off strong. STARCLANS CHOSEN!!!!!!!!!!!
I think.. maybe one of the best warriors maps out
there. ITS SO. I DIDNT EVEN WATCH IT IN MY WARRIORS PHASE BUT IT JUST FUCKING REMAINS. its made me cry. ive watched it countless times. the split frames are SOOO COOL you can just focus on the differnt parts and teh more you rewatch the more you see.. especially when the different panels show differnt perspectives of the same scene. or like. the parellels with the bit with cats reacting to their leaders deaths.. and later becoming leader themselves.
I can't do it justice at all CAUSE EVERY PANEL IS LIKE. FULLY ANIMATED AND ONE FRAME DOESN'T EVER CAPTURE IT but its so fucking pretty.
I love this bit with all the changing leaders on the side singing the backing track its SO. the tigerstar in the bottom right is especially expressive and it makes me die. ALSO IN LOVE WITH HOW BLACKSTAR IS DRAWN IN THIS MAP. he just looks on the Verge of Panic at all times i love him.
HOLLYFAWN AND SERPENT SOL OH MY FUCKING GOD. all these au maps are SO
Okay these maps are prime examples of how the warriors community is so. CAUSE LIKE HOLY FUCKING SHIT. they take canon throw it out the window and cause my death
URRGGR SERPENT SOL AND HOLLYFAWN. serpent sol obsessed with how you're animated. AND HOLLY IM IN LOVE WITH YOUR DESIGN SHES SO FUCKING. GRGBAHBDAHSU. they did the power of three stuff SO MUCH BETETR THAN TEH ACTUAL BOOKS like lionblaze turning into an actual lion... jayfeathers starclan powers... ALL THE DEER SYMBOLISM IN THIS. ITS. god. yeah
HAWKSTORMMMM god the storytelling in this one. Kill me. his anger at firestar that got him killed... because he needed someone to blame for tadepoles death... tadpole trying to get him to stop URRGRG also hawkstorms design is Everything to me. forever love the shot where hes running and the hawk gives him wings
AND PIRATE SCOURGE. CAUSE NO CAUSE WHAT DO U MEAN AU MAP WHERE RAVENPAW RUNS AWAY AND BECOMES A FUCKING PIRATE, AND HAS AN ARMY OF LIZARDS AND GETS A CROCODILE TO LITTERLALY SNAP TIGERSTAR ON TWO. HE IS IN PIECES. LIEKEEE. RAVENPAW AND SCOURGE AS ONE THATS SO FUCKING COOL. also obsessed with the scene with raven and barley and the fish floating in the sky around them.
okay cheeteh Z has SO MANY MORE COOL MAPS AND STUFF but these are my favourites I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM ALL.
UNRAVEL MY LOVE
This map is so fucking cool. I ADORE THE STYLZATION. like the colour pallete... the speech bubbles for the lyrics. I'll be honest I CANT REMEMBER TOO MUCH OF THIS ARC NOW. but i know i loved these characters and i died when i saw this for the first time
SHOUTOUT TO THESE BITS. ESPECIALLY THE FIGHT SCENE BIT i gen think its one of the coolest map parts ever. I HAVE TRIED TO ANIMATE FIGHT SCSNES AND IT IS NOT EASY.
CHANG-GWI
I just love cool au maps AND THIS. THIS IS ONE OF THOSE. okay first of all the premise. IN THE WORDS OF THE MAP "This MAP is is based on a Korean ghostlore, in which a men killed by a tiger turns into a spiteful ghost called Changgwi that hunts for additional victims. In this MAP, Ravenpaw turns into Changgwi after he got eaten by Tigerstar and trys to get Ivypool eaten by him so he can get free" WHICH LIKE. HOLY SHIT. THATS SO FUCKING COOL
OKAY SECONDLY THE CHARACTER DESIGNS ARE AMAZING. i cant express enough how terrifying tigerstar is in this. HES. HUGE. and i cant really show from the screenshots but like THE WEIGHT WHEN HE RUNS AT IVYPOOL. THE LIKE TILTED CAMERA PERSPECTIVES... the sot of a fucking centipede crawling through his eye. THATS SCARY!!
also love the song. 10/10 MAP
FIVE GIANTS!!!!!!!!!!!!
this one is probably The Warriors map i think. LOTS OF PEOPLE KNOW IT AND FOR GOOD REASON!!! it literally goes through all the events up until like. bramblestar era.
this is so nostalgic I REMEMBER WHEN ID WATCH THIS WHILST READING THE BOOKS and i'd gradually see which scenes I recogonised as I read more. IM PRETTY SURE THE FIRST OH HELLOS SONG I EVER HEARD (one of my favourite artists now) WAS IN THE OUTRO TO THIS THING.
there is way to much to show for this one but here's some of my favourite frames
DOLLHOUSE (WINGS OF FIRE)
OBVIOUSLY NOT WARRIORS this one is wings of fire. but putting it here BECAUSE THE CONCEPT AND EVERTHING ABOUT IT IS SO FUCKING COOL!!! it explores whiteouts side of the story which isn't seen too much in the books its. its just cool. THE ANIMATION IS SO BEAUTIFUL screenshots don't really do any of it justice
THE DESIGNS. WHITEOUTS DEISGN. JUMPING UP AND DOWN THEY'RE SO COOL. i actually drew fanart of it once. I ALSO LOVE how the eyes are done in this map. with whiteouts button one and dalkstalkers hourglasses that spin around showing how much soul he has left
everything moves, trees dead hearts, neglected space, rory, ready as ill ever be, brothers lovers killers, always gold, holy the sea, the ghost, its me
sin triangle, whne im gone, fine great, pidgeon, catabolic seed, (sierien mint + desert), good in me
blixemi, moonkitti
then dollhouse wof CAUSE HOLY SHIT and that agnus one bc tma audio... maybe how far we've come hc too.. urrgh could tsalk about tma stuff. THE HOME ANIMAATION. THE JRWI ONE. actually no its fine ill put it in characters this can be wof and worriers
