LAY ALL YOUR LOVE ON ME | Complete Warrior Cats MAP

"LAY ALL YOUR LOVE ON ME" is a Warrior Cats MAP (multi animator project) focused on the complicated and dramatic relationship between Tigerheart and Dovewing, taking lots of inspiration from theatre!

This MAP is finally here and I couldn't be more proud! Each animator worked SO HARD on their parts, and it truly shows! It was a long wait, but it was certainly worth it. Every part really is gorgeous and I could not be more thankful to everyone who helped bring my idea to life.

Don't forget to check out everyone who helped bring this project to life, there are links to everyone in the description! Unfortunately two animators, Cretacat (2d BGs for part 4) and Cassandra Cat (storyboard and some rough animation for part 12), were missed in the credits, so make sure you give them some love too!!!

I was really impressed when they actually had Dovewing move permanently to Shadowclan and they actually have a healthy relationship + great parents too. Really refreshing to read.

[tripled]

Dovewing and tigerstar break out into song randomly in the middle of Shadowclan camp and all of their children are excessively embarrassed

[tinydancerpresents]

I love how their clans were like ”stay with us! Having half clan relationships don't often end too well” and then it really worked out really well. Also, in the books it was Dovewing who fell in love first, just like the map. Then Tigerstar fought to be her mate, just like the map. This was so accurate.

When I was a kid and read omen of the stars the first time, I was gooberishly in love with this ship. This MAP brought back all those silly fuzzy nostalgic feelings of cheering on these star crossed furballs

[PokémonCoordinatorMary]

I like that you show that Dove TRIED to make things work with Bumblestripe. The fandom needs to understand that she didn't USE him. Nor did Squirrelflight use Ashfur. Both she cats tried to make things work with these toms and the toms took rejection REALLY hard. Bumble at least handled it better than Ashfur. But people need to stop painting Dove and Squirrel as lil hoes when they're just doing their best. Squirrel especially.

[Finchwing]

YESS so happy to see it done!! its so GOOOD

[wolfcompass]

All the artist that joined in on this map did fantastic! I also wanted to point out that when Brumblestripe fell while singing "Lay all your love on me" 3:16 did great on showing how he was desperate to have Dovewing's love.

[ahomelesskazoo]

4:05 can we talk about how tiger heart was more concerned about dovewing falling then himself-

[anoushkashenoy]

This looks amazing! This ship is overhated imo. They are really cute in The Broken Code and are great parents.

[AstraSight]

Did Bumblestripe just fall from the rock and Ivy pool face palmed XD
3:17

[testerwulf]

3:17 I love how this part showed how overbearing her clan was for her..how judged she felt and put in the spotlight without asking for it. She’s probably so much happier in shadowclan, not being told constantly who to date no expectations or pushy cats and power drama.
Also, bumble literally falling for her is pretty funny, he's trying so hard to get her attention lol

[HannaGeorgeArt]

Seeing everyone's hard work finally presented together in a finished MAP fills me with joy! This one came out beautifully! So much drama! It was an honor to be included <3

[louixie.]

OHMYGOSH THIS HAS BEEN THE MAP I’VE BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO THE MOST AND IT’S FINALLY HERE!! Everyone did a marvellous job and this has to be the map with the most amount of perfect transitions between parts ever!! Absolutely fantastic to watch and thank you for the honorable mention!

[waterbat]

This MAP came out so gorgeously! Everyone did a fantastic job!
Also, TigerDove is probably my favorite canon ship of the whole series. The fact that they genuinely care about each other and their children (which is especially shown in The Broken Code) is heartwarming, and they've owned up to their mistakes and apologized... without repeating those mistakes. Bramblestar should take notes.

[entitledbobcat]

I’m sorry but the cat just scooting through the snow at 2:30 made me giggle harder than it should.

[amberestie]

The best part is I'm really recognising people's individual art styles after so many maps. Keep it up everyone this was absolutely beautiful and so much movement and great lighting

[SailorDee]

“I don’t like the ship BUT”
Can’t y’all just compliments the hard working artists without putting down the ship? I mean come on! This is adorable! :D

[grente]

1:12 i love this chubby design for dovewing. she's definitely had way more mice recently than the 1 she's carrying

[laylaallen]

watching this project come together and finally seeing it finished is absolutely stunning!! everyone’s part is drawn to disney level, the music is catchy, and the map shows a “hopeless romantic” situation between dove and tiger, which is so wholesome. the dramaticness between their relationship is so funny, and this map showed it perfectly. congrats on such a successful map, this is totally going to be “one of the big ones”
