BRAMBLEFUR [Complete Ashfur Warriors MAP]

!!!This video contains graphic implications of animal death, animal skinning, abuse, and creepy/unsettling themes!!!

This AU is called Bramblefur because Ashfur is obsessed with becoming Brambleclaw! Ashfur thinks that if he can look like Brambleclaw that Squirrelflight will love him. So he changes his name to Bramblefur and his hairstyle to look like Brambleclaw's but looking like Brambleclaw isn't enough.. he has to BE Brambleclaw.

Subtitles are up!! Make sure to watch with them on for the full cinematic effect

[oliviadehart]

I only just realized the scar across Ashfur’s neck is from when Feathertail attacked him in Serpent Sol. It’s incredible how thought-out all these animatics are!

[juniper_is_confused]

Ashfur: [Uses Hawkfrost's dead skin as a way to make Squirrelflight fall for him]
Squirrelflight: "Wtf"
Ashfur: "Why does she hate me?"

[boi]

I kinda like how Hawkfrost was drawn in this. He's usually depicted as slender and more angular than Brambleclaw or Tigerstar, even though Leafpool said his body shape was similar to Tigerstar.

[honeyhorn]

1:52 Love the detail that Squirrelflight knocked out one of the eyeballs and it doesn’t just magically reappear in the next scene, it’s still gone

[serenitythesiren]

2:41-2:44
Anyone gonna talk about how smooth that animation of Ashfur's spirit rolling onto Bramblestar's spirit and pinning him down is?

[blood_moon]

Imagine every single cat being able to re-enter their dead body just like that. The whole story line would be so different lmao

[thatchysaurus]

Alternate title:

*Man traumatises his ex girlfriend and her husband by wearing her brother-in-law as a fursuit*

[yazzcreates]

I love the way that ashfur throws hawkfrosts fur out of his hand like it’s worthless because he tried to help him but the plan didn’t work. It shows how possessive and manipulative someone can turn if they have feelings for someone but they don’t feel the same way. It really shows ashfur commitment towards the end as he wanted revenge for not getting the love he wanted. This is one of my literal favourite maps to watch because it’s so interesting as it shows a lot of emotion towards the characters, more than the books normally show. Good work to the artists they all did amazing to create this masterpiece, keep up all the good work!

What normal cats see: A dead Hawkfrost

What Ashfur sees: Dress up time

[rowanheart]

I love Roseshard's part. I don't often see her animate sharp and angular cats, but her style is perfect for it. To be continued??? I'm guessing Ferncloud suspects that Brambleclaw killed Ashfur and she's mad.
Edit: whelp, judging by the latest teaser I think it's Jayfeather.

[Littlepup]

God, Possessed Bramblestar has caused this community to pump out so many sick villain MAPs

[jaytek]

TO BE CONTINUED!? I CAN'T WAIT! This MAP was stellar. I've been obsessed with watching the progress for this and everyone's process for it. I am truly inspired by all the talent and teamwork shown in this. The credits sequence animation broke my heart, watching how aggressively Ashfur is holding Squirrelflight's face - it really shows that he isn't just unhinged because he can't have her, he is possessive and cruel now that he does have her. I hope we get some much earned justice against Ashfur in the sequel this one teases.

[Primal_aspid.]

1:17 that little loop he did with his tail, amazing. All these charachters in the maps you host have so much personality and im all here for it.

[moxienerd]

i love how this take on ashfur makes him just... more unhinged! i always felt like that was the tone the writers were slipping into, but they just... didnt seem to go far enough with it. this is a really interesting au!

[Finchwing]

YEAA this finished up so goood ToT love the hectic energy in this omg, thanks so much for having me!

[NettIefang]

Ah yes my favourite Christmas tradition, arson and murder (thx ashfur)!! Jokes aside I'm SO HAPPY I got to be a part of this MAP <3 will be counting down the hours till the premiere

Bramble claw: GOTTA RUN
Ash’ Fur: *A* *N* *K* *L* *E* *S*

[Primal_aspid.]

I really like how the charachter designs stay mostly the same in every map you make. Really helps connect them and make it feel like the same universe as you intend it to be.

I love how Ashfur reacts to this, he’s like “oooohhhh that’s gone now”
