YOUTH【Complete Bluestar PMV MAP】

"Hi guys! Ghostlantern here.
Let me just start off by saying /wow/. Watching this almost put me into tears, all of the hard effort and work Rosie and I put into kickstarting this project has really paid off - it turned out phenomenally. I want to make a huge thanks to Rosie, for supporting and helping me brandish this idea for a MAP. What originally started off as a PMV that would have most likely been abandoned, has flourished into a gorgeous MAP that I am so proud to have been part in developing. My midnight dance has turned into a gorgeous masterpiece with not just Rosie's help, but with each individual supporter and MAP animator within the project. Thank you for making a dream of mine become true - I'm so unbelievably grateful for all the hard work and effort put into this MAP. It was well worth every struggle, wait, and all the blood, sweat, and tears we put into this MAP. It looks breathtakingly beautiful and I'm getting emotional every time I watch it. Thank you so much for your help, everyone, I can't express my gratitude enough.

...and to all of the introductory/scene artists who drew us the stunning drawings for the MAP's intro.

Thank you everyone!

A lot of people are asking questions, so Swifty decided to make a Q&A

[hiwelcometochilis]

I like how her eyes turned gray when she lost respect for starclan

[R_NN]

"And I will die a tenth time defending Thunderclan"

That sent chills down my spine

[kermitted]

Star clan: Here’s a warrior code that you should follow to enable that you protect your clan and lead happy lives.
Literally every cat ever: Lolololololololo

[avaa]

dang, if snowfur didn’t die there would be a whole new story

[illbringyoudown]

The map turned out amazing !! Thanks for picking me as Bluestar! So glad to be apart of this !!

Wow, being a leader must be hard. Especially if you intend to be like Tallstar. He never wanted any trouble and he didn't make any trouble, the only trouble was Shadowclan and Riverclan


Picture this.
You are the leader of a clan of your choice. You believe in pacifism and anybody could change their evil, ambitious path. You have your last name 'star' and your nine lives and everything. You never rarely get into battles because you stick to the warrior code and in your life spam nothing bad is happening that much.
But... In a world where everything is at peace, and you are the only one who could stay alive for longer than others; You could see your clan, crumbling around you, slowly... You could see the elders; Who maybe has a cat who mentored you. You see them; dying. You see the warriors; Slowly moving on to the elders. And the Apprentices; you slowly believe they are not ready because their mentors are getting old, and that they didn't teach the apprentices properly.
And the kits; who are still alive, but too young. You are the only one who can come back after dying 9 times. But if you don't die due to battles or an evil villain; then you only age. And every time you die of a regular cats age; you lose a life. So it would take such some time for you to die fully. But as you age; you see all the cats you grew up with; slowly moving on. And then a new generation comes in. It's not the same...
They're just replacements for your friends and your littermates.
You feel depressed
You feel tired of life
You don't want to be here just to see everyone fade away
You want to yell at Starclan "HOW DID YOU MANAGE?"
But
You're a leader
You are noble
You are respectful


You can't say what you need to say.
You have these words stuck in your head
Day and night
You don't want to be here any more.


Welp, that's what I'm thinking of. How do leaders manage?

[cxracal]

as evil as thistleclaw was, he cared a lot for snowfur

[emilyjohnston]

Yellowfang and Bluestar have a lot in common




Both broke the code by having kits
Both had three kits
Both had one Tom and two she-cats
Both had at least one kit die
Both lost faith in StarClan at some point in time
Both died with Fireheart by their side

This turned out so great! I love the additions in the beginning, the voice actors did a great job! <3 Congrats on an awesome idea coming to life!

The intro at the beginning added a heck ton of depth to the MAP and made it a hell of a lot more dramatic jesus! The quotes were really well chosen, and the artists did amazing! The MAP itself? Hecking heck its beautiful! The script is so well written and shown, and you can tell how much effort was put into each and everyone's parts! The palette for the chorus really makes the MAP more energetic, not just showing the sadness of Bluestar's life.I can't get over how the lyrics are "Feel your mother at your side." Aaa I have a huge headcanon that Moonflower watched Bluestar and Snowfur's each and every move after she died.
This is seriously one of the most gorgeous projects I've ever seen, if not my favorite! Astounding work everyone!! <333

Song: „i just want you to be happy“




Bluestar: *crying her whole life*

[roseshards]

It's finally here!!! I hope you guys are as excited as Swifty and I are!
Also, make sure you guys watch until the very end.... ;)

[kawaiilanu]

Just saying did anyone realise how similar bluestar and goose feather? For example they both didn’t like their littermate’s mate and when they got older everyone thought they were crazy.🙃

[cranberrythecat]

AMAZING JOB!!! My favorite parts had to be when the colors would shift from normal to those bright psychedelic hues! 8D The song fits extremely well, and I'm glad so many talented and unique artists were part of it!

[peipsols]

“Sorry, she’s in one of her moods”

Lyrics

Boy, when I left you, you were young

I was gone, but not my love

You were clearly meant for more

Than a life lost in the war

I want you to be happy

Free to run, get dizzy on caffeine

Funny friends that make you laugh

And maybe you're just a little bit dappy

Fly

Feel your mother at your side

Don't you know you got my eyes

I'll make you fly

You'll be happy all the time

I know you can make it right

Boy, now your life is back-to-front

But you'll see that's not for long

'Cause I know you'll feel the ghost

Of some memories so warm

Boy, I want you to be happy

Free to run, get dizzy on caffeine

Funny friends that make you laugh

And maybe you're just a little bit dappy

Fly

Feel your mother at your side

Don't you know you got my eyes

I'll make you fly

You'll be happy all the time

I know you can make it right

Boy, I want you to be happy

Free to run, get dizzy on caffeine

Funny friends that make you laugh

And maybe you're just a little bit dappy

Fly

Feel your mother at your side

Don't you know you got my eyes

I'll make you fly

You'll be happy all the time

I know you can make it right

I'll make you

Boy, I want you to be happy

Free to run, get dizzy on caffeine

Funny friends that make you laugh

And maybe you're just a little bit
