It would have been easier to notice if her line art hadn’t started out red. The change really isn’t anything noticeable. I’ve watched this hundreds of times and never seen it.
@@captainboston419 It's not meant to be easily noticed! It's like an easter egg, and I would have used red but in this specific pallete I use there are some colors that I made a rule not to use and red is one of them!
wait correct me if im wrong because if you did it on purposd thats so smart i noticed the scar placed across ashfur's eyes, and i looked at the ashfur video you did where its caused by lionpaw/blaze. thats around the part where he goes completely crazy. is it to symbolize hes been blinded by sadness?
You’re the first person to get that!!!! Yep, ashfur’s scar is meant to represent him being blinded by sadness/jealously, and hollyleaf‘s stain is meant to represent she was blinded by what she did!
The fact that she only gained clarity as the rocks fell, how she looked back finally seeing what she wanted through all of this, a way back -and it being too late.. it reminds me so much of people who jump off of bridges and live, they regret it as soon as they can’t go back and the gravity literally pulls them deeper into their regrets and biggest fears as they’re left to contiplate everything- she didn’t get that clarity until it was too late, Self sabatoging when things where looking up from the outside cause she was trapped in her own brain, rocks falling and she finally could see how ithers felt, and even about her and it wasn’t resentment or hate or fear of her, but fear for her, their sister, daughter.. and then there was darkness. And then a possible second chance.
I love the visual parallels between Ashfur and Hollyleaf by giving them both eye related "injuries", Ashfur's scar and then the imaginary blood Hollyleaf spreads across her eyes. I like how it symbolically links their disconnect with reality and warped view of the world.
You are the absolute best at making PMV’s. I don’t watch a lot of them because they never have interesting stories behind them, and without animation seem kind of bland. But this is absolutely stunning, you captured what Hollyleaf feels perfectly and why she did all of those actions. The ending gave me chills when the style turned realistic, I’m guessing this meant that the curse that Ashfur gave her had gone away, but when she turned back, the cave entrance was already collapsing. Just a little theory there. I can’t stop rewatching this. Amazing job.
Yup! In the first pmv ‘your love’ the fire scene and ashfur’s death was in the realistic style to show that it was breaking of the fantasy world, and this is meant to symbolize that while ashfur’s death yanked him out of the fantasy hollyleaf was still stuck in that world and overcome with grief and regret and when she’s in the tunnel and it collapses she sees clearly but it’s too late n such!
I love this! keeping the style of your love and the blood really shows how Holly lost touch with things around her as her faith got shattered, realising she herself is a contradiction to a code she held so high. I also love how all of her loved ones just fade into static, further going into her just losing touch.
I don't really have anything to say here that hasn't already been said, but I will say that I like how Hollyleaf looks so spiky throughout the entire pmv, like she's stressed to the point that she's fluffed up. Dunno if it was intentional, but either way, it really helps with the intense feel of this PMV. Amazing job!
The sequel we all wanted and none of us deserved. Absolutely stunning, 10/10 work. Both of these parts were amazing in separate and even better combined, fabulous work.
I wasn't sure if it was on purpose or not at first, but I find it interesting how her outlines turn into the same color as Ashfur's blood around the end, like she was more and more consumed by guilt over it / it was another representation of that taking over and overwhelming her? :o
THIS!! WAS SO GOOD OMFG. The emotions this pmv conveyed, as hollyleaf's despair continued to grow the more the cats around her began to get static-y and unrecognizable. I loved this so much.
okay, i don’t normally comment, like, at all, since this is a shared account but,, i literally HAD to comment this is TOO GOOD,,, I LITERALLY CAN’T,,,,,,, BOTH PMVS ARE ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL THEY’RE BOTH SO ORIGINAL AND I LOVE HOW YOU STARTED THIS PMV LEADING OFF OF “YOUR LOVE” I AM LITERALLY SPEECHLESS TO THE POINT WHERE I DONT KNOW WHAT ELSE TO PUT HERE, I JUST LOVE BOTH OF THESE PMVS SO MUCH????? EDIT: OK I GOT MY WORDS BACK “YOUR LOVE” WAS LIKE, REALLY INTERESTING TO WATCH BECAUSE OF ASHFUR SEEING HIS FANTASY ONLY AND NOT HIS REALITY, BUT THIS IS SO SAD (IN A GOOD WAY)????? HOLLYLEAF IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE CHARACTERS AND YOU DID HER SO MUCH JUSTICE THIS AND “YOUR LOVE” ARE THE BEST PMVS IVE SEEN IM NOT EVEN KIDDING EDIT 2: I FORGOT TO ADD THAT YOU ACTUALLY MADE HOLLYLEAF’S STORY EMOTIONAL???? IVE NEVER SEEN ANYBODY DO THAT EVER. LIKE, AT THE PART WHEN SHE REVEALS THE SECRET, ALL OF THE CATS SUDDENLY TURNING INTO TV STATIC HONESTLY ALMOST MADE ME CRY, THAT’S HOW GOOD THIS IS
Also some headcanon I made myself: Since Ashfur is the son of Brindleface and Whitestorm, he’s the grandson of Snowfur and Thistleclaw. I’ve always felt that the tragic love seems to be a recurring pattern in the family (with Thistleclaw losing his mate and now Ashfur losing his chances with SF)
I know this is far, far less likely to be canon, but I've always found the idea of Darkstripe being Ashfur's father incredibly interesting. They were both driven by obsession, giving up everything and doing anything in an attempt to get the cat they obsessed over's affection, and in the end it destroyed them both.
All of the interpretations of this are so amazing! One thing that comes to my mind as well is that everyone turning into shapes reminds me of derealization, which is a form of dissociation where nothing feels real anymore and it can put you in a state where your actions are more extreme. When nothing feels real, you can’t grasp the concept that your actions have the consequences they do, you just lash out as you try to make the feeling go away. This video really captures that feeling of desperation
Holy Hell! This is absolutely amazing! The art, The story telling, The use of amazing songs (coming from a fellow GA fan). It's all so AMAZING! Great job and keep up the great work!
I missed the premiere cuz of stupid school >:( i still love how this turned out >:0 you made this at light speed. Dude your so talented and underrated I can’t-
This is how I found your channel, and it is wonderful. I am very glad to have found you and seen this masterpiece, along with the other beautiful creations you have shared!
wow this is incredible! you did such an amazing job creating this, it really captures what Hollyleaf was going through at the time. do you intend to do more PMVs in this style? I'd love to see your take on the next part of the story.
I love how she always has that stain of blood on her paws. That murder catches up to her again and again, and she cannot wash it away. It will always stay with her, and no matter how much she regrets it, she cannot change it. No mercy on her mind.
WTF I WATCHED THE YOUR LOVE THING WHEN I WAS IN LIKE 5TH GRADE I DIDN'T KNOW THERE WAS A CONTINUATION 10YO ME WOULD HAVE BEEN SQUEALING YOU'RE THE ENTIRE REASON I LOVE GLASS ANIMALS
This and your love prompted me to look at other songs by Glass Animals, and I think Pork Soda really goes with Squilf and her relationship with Bramblestar, particularly during Squirrelflight's Hope
Someone hasn't seen my posts recently about actually hating doing DSMP content and only doing it because it was my only source of income and people only wanted DSMP but I finally had enough and am not making it anymore 👍
i really like how you featured hollyleafs dissociated feelings after killing ashfur! not a lot of people focus on that specifically and i think it’s a very important part of her character, considering killing a cat while not in battle was breaking the warrior code, and hollyleaf revolving her whole life around the code. you use colors so beautifully!!!
Ok, I'm not that much of a commenter, but I just finished the premier and I need to get my thoughts down. A lot of Hollyleaf pmvs feel the exact same. You made a really interesting concept and you *ran* with it. With your love, you showed Ashfur's perception was skewed, but it felt so different than this. This honestly feels more tragic, you can feel how distressed Hollyleaf is, and that she can only see Ashfur and what she did to him. She doesn't see her families concern, she doesn't see anyone's reactions to what she did. She only sees herself and what she did to Ashfur, until she's put herself in horrible danger. God, that is SO powerful and heartbreaking. This is so emotional, and honestly you can tell how terrifed Hollyleaf is. She's angry and blinded by that. Your love gives off a vibe of Ashfur seeing everything as much more extreme than it is, this one feels like Hollyleaf is incapable of moving on from killing Ashfur. Both use the same storytelling technique: showing different perspectives that aren't reality, but they feel so different. To put it simply, this is absolutely fantastic. I love this so much, and I honestly teared up a bit watching this. Great job. Give yourself a pat on the back. Both Your Love and this are amazing, and are probably the best warriors pmvs I've seen. They both tell the story that's been rehashed so many times in a fresh and interesting way that is extremely engaging. Again, great job, and I hope you have a great day.
This honestly means so much;; I’m glad you picked up that this was on hollyleaf being blinded and overwhelmed by everything, I tried hard to focus on stuff that isn’t often shown in a lot of amvs, thank you so much for this comment ;;
100% agree, I LOVE how this shows a different perspective of Hollyleaf's. Most PMVs focus on how angry she is with her family, not on her guilt and fear after killing Ashfur
I get the same feeling from this tbh. There’s this thing that actually reminds me of something I heard from Night in the Woods, and that at some point, the character you play as in that game, just saw shapes. Their just shapes. Shapes and noise. She freaks out and attacks someone because of it, and that might be a bit different from what Hollyleaf goes through, but the feeling of those around just being shapes and noise is a great concept for her. Like... anxiety almost.
I love how both Ashfur and Hollyleaf had the slash of pink across their eyes to show them being blinded. Ashfur’s was sharp and calculated, like he knew what he was doing, but Hollyleaf’s was messy and like a bloodstain, similar to her guilt over killing him that drove her to make irrational decisions. That’s how I see it anyways.
God, having everyone around Hollyleaf turn into static shapes really hit close to home and it's SUCH an impactful way to show just how much her killing Ashfur affected her- then the blood covering her eyes, Ashfur being the only thing that wasn't just static. It really shows how her touch on reality was completely slipping. Not a lot of Hollyleaf amvs or pmvs show stuff like this, this is really amazing. Then having "reality" just appear at the end, but by then it's too late and I'm just. Wow
@@Spirit_Is_Here is this genuine? Because if it is Lucarin is being satire, you don’t actually see everything in magenta. I’m honestly kinda boggled that you might’ve genuinely believed that
@@Seraphim_Sun Oml, I was half-asleep when i wrote this- sorry if it came off weird😭😭😭 I actually don't know how I thought it was even possible to be legit. Even when I was half-asleep
the insinuation that holly is blind to the consequences of her eventual actions since she can’t see the expressions of any of her friends and family, just staticky figures she can no longer understand or relate to... *chef’s kiss*
I love how this is showing the effect of what Hollyleaf did a lot differently than what any other pmv or map does. This really shows how much killing Ashfur really did to her, clouding her judgment on everything, not just her view of Ashfur, but on everyone. When she wiped the blood on her eyes, similar to Ashfur's scar, OH THAT WAS SO GOOD! Really liked the ending as well, as just before the rocks fell on her, she saw everything clearly, if only for a short time. Amazing job!!
YYYEEESSS SOMEONE PORTRAYS HER DESCENT INTO MADNESS I always felt like there was a HUGE amount of guilt, paranoia, and anger that led to Hollyleaf’s choices and exit, that we didn’t get to see just bc it would ruin the surprise Am I the only one that finds that super frustrating? Like yeah it made a good plot twist to reveal that she killed him but it SERIOUSLY ruined the opportunity to make an EXCELLENT depiction of severe and unchecked emotion in Hollyleaf In my opinion this part of her arc is the most interesting look into ANY character’s mind in Warriors, and we were completely robbed of it just for a cheap “oh?” So glad to see a PMV that tells this side of things in this way! Also having a two part series for Ashfur and Hollyleaf is an astonishing idea and the way you segawyed it was immaculate
I'm really hoping we'll one day get a novella or hopefully even a super edition showing Hollyleaf during that time. That way we could still have the surprising reveal about who killed Ashfur, while also showing what you're talking about! I did get the Hollyleaf novella recently, but I haven't read it yet because I got a lot of books. I'm hoping it will be good, please don't give me any spoilers of if it's like what I'm describing (or any other spoilers, either).
@@sagefeather3405 Oooo! I don’t read Warriors books anymore, but I would still like to know what that’s abt. Tell me how it was once you’ve read it, if you would!
@@jittercritter I'd be happy to! From the short description given on the back, it seems to be about her in the tunnels, which isn't what you were describing but still has a chance to be really good! Hollyleaf is my second favourite Warriors character, and my favourite who isn't a RiverClan minor character (I MIGHT have gotten extremely attached to that Clan in the first series and still stubbornly pay attention to them and have extensive headcanons about almost all of the RiverClan cats). I really like Hollyleaf original songs, as well as AMVs, PMVs and MAPs.
this is stunning!!! the way you showed hollyleafs breakdown represented by every other cat (besides her and ashfur) turning to solid, staticky figures and the blood on her paws and over her eyes at the peak of her distress/the song's loudest point are really creative! the colors are really nice and that last moment of a clearer more natural palette just before the rocks fall....chefs kiss. your ashfur pmv was also really good and the first vid i found on ur channel :D i cant wait to see more pmvs like this from you!
I've watched hundreds of hollyleaf pmvs/amvs/maps and this is the only one that has actually given me chills and a reason to sympathize with her. The blood from her paws overflowing her senses is such perfect symbolism for how her guilt and negative perception of him is tearing her apart. She's not sure what to do, and can only break down as she is stuck between the idea that she did It for the good of the clan, and the idea that she broke the code and killed someone. She's so caught up and overwhelmed in her breakdown that she doesn't see those around her, she's trapped in a soundproof cage, biting at anyone who goes near like a cornered animal. She can't find who to trust anymore, she doesn't know who anyone is anymore, so she just fights for her life even if she knows she's not going to die. This is just beautiful, no doubt, thank you for making this
Man that symbolism just hit me in the face when Hollyleaf has blood on her face the same way Ashfur had his scar. It's like she became obsessed with him in a way to the point were she became him. Incredible job.😄
This. THIS! OH MY GOD!!! THIS IS AMAZING Okay I have a few things to say: First of all I love how unique this is!! Most Hollyleaf AMVs/PMVs/MAPs are about her being angry, edgy, crazy etc. but this is different. You show how she actually would have felt. Guilt, regret, disconnection from others around her and fear of what might happen to her. The colours and simple yet beautiful style is like, just so nice to look at! It's a very bold colour choice yet your style makes it pleasing to look at. I love how the cats become silhouettes once she becomes disconnected. The only other cat who remains is Ashfur and she's so angry with him that she becomes numb of all other feelings and chooses to let her anger out at the gathering. I don't normally get shivers from a PMV but this got me on multiple occasions, when the cats turned to sillhouttes, that spinning shot and ESPECIALLY that last shot where she looks back to see a normal Jay and Lion but it's too late. This PMV better get popular, more people need to subscribe to you personally I don't think I've seen much of your work but after I write this comment I'm gonna watch more of your stuff!! Keep up the amazing work!!
I love the colors and aesthetics as well as the subtle changes throughout it all that show the progression of the story like the pink streak on hollyleaf's face or the noise on cats.
the way you did hollyleaf's expressions is just amazing, you can really see the confusion and heartbreak in her eyes. The blurring of the others around her, the constant lingering shade of ashfur, the blood spilling from her paws, it was all really telling and heartbreaking. What sold it for me is the ending where you changed the stark, unnatural colors to natural colors as the rocks cover the cave. It's like a return to reality, her seeing through all of her emotions for a brief moment as she is closed off from her brothers and the outside world. Really good stuff!
I usually feel meh about holly leaf pmv’s/amv’s unless they are au’s. This one was really neat though, I see so many and even though for me it was a bit difficult to watch since how hot the pink is I get that it’s part of the atmosphere. It’s unique and I like it which is great since I wouldn’t say I like hollyleaf all that much but I do like for the most part how the pmv puts it.
I've been watching both this and Your Love on repeat and I have some ThoughtsTM. I know plenty of other people have said this before me, but this is a fantastic, realistic look at how Hollyleaf's killing of Ashfur affected her; the fact that the cats around her (especially ones she cared about) turned into static? That is an INCREDIBLE way of portraying dissociation!! And the fact that she's the only one who can see Ashfur really does a lot to convey the internal struggle she's going through; her whole life feels uprooted, she doesn't know who she can trust or who to turn to, and as such she doesn't see that the ones she loves are worried about her and just want to understand what's going on. I really like the idea that only she can see the metaphorical blood on her paws, and the fact that the blood eventually makes its way across her eyes - blinding her to all else except what she's done and what she's learned. (It's a neat little continuity from Your Love concerning when Lionpaw scars Ashfur - that's when Ashfur's perception of the world and Squirrelflight really takes a dive and where he begins to act with genuine malice.) And the emotions are just absolutely spectacular. You can feel Hollyleaf's grief, the horror at what she's done, the betrayal she feels as a result of what she learned during the fire, and you can really see how all of these combined factors work to throw her entire world into a tailspin. I absolutely adore the scene where she looks down at the Gathering, and all she can see is static and basic shapes, showing just how blinded by her pain and her fear she is. It hurts. You can feel how much it destroys her. Something else that gets me is that, at the end when she's made it to the tunnels, THAT'S when Jayfeather and Lionblaze (and effectively, Hollyleaf's world) comes back into focus, but it's too late for her to do anything. That part really got me; she focused enough to realize what situation she'd just put herself in, but was unable to get herself out of it in time. That's heartbreaking. All in all this is a fantastic Hollyleaf PMV that's incredibly original and gorgeous!! I love the colours and the whole "dreamworld" idea - I really, really liked the way the artstyles switch in this one at the end and in Your Love during the fire. That's so neat!!
YOOO THAT WAS FABULOUS! The designs really compliment the song, the song fits so well with the characters, the fantastic art fits perfectly with everything!! You've outdone yourself ahhhh
Woah. The colors were well chosen. I don’t know how you did that tv fuzz effect but it looks incredible like hollyleaf’s mask of blood. Excellently styalized.
The transition between the previous PMV and this one gave me literal chills. The emotions, the visuals, all of it was just stunning! This has got to be one of my favorite PMVs of all time!
already made an extremely long comment a year ago but I rewatched and just realized something and holy fuck the blood on her paws makes me think that she was terrified that anyone would be able to look at her and realize her secret. like that feeling when you're hiding something and you're just convinced everyone will look at you and see right through you? that also really explains why she spilled it at the gathering: she thought everyone knew anyways, she was trapped in such a horrible echo chamber because she never reached out and oh my god
Wasn't sure what I was expecting to see when i saw this video in my recommendations. This? This is amazing! I really have to admire how you did this as kind of like a sequel to your previous PMV, Your Love, I assume. You really don't see people connecting their AMVs/PMVs often. I just find that so cool! No to mention, how dang quickly you got this done. You're already a big inspiration to me and I don't even know who you are! New sub!
It’s hard to tell but Hollyleaf’s line art gradually gets pinker, like ashfur’s blood, throughout the animation, tiny details like that are awesome!
Wow!! I didn't think anyone would notice that!!!!
It would have been easier to notice if her line art hadn’t started out red. The change really isn’t anything noticeable. I’ve watched this hundreds of times and never seen it.
@@captainboston419 look at the blood on holly leafs claws. In the beginning, it stands out, but at the very end, they’re the same colour

okay, i don’t normally comment, like, at all, since this is a shared account but,, i literally HAD to comment

EDIT: OK I GOT MY WORDS BACK
“YOUR LOVE” WAS LIKE, REALLY INTERESTING TO WATCH BECAUSE OF ASHFUR SEEING HIS FANTASY ONLY AND NOT HIS REALITY, BUT THIS IS SO SAD (IN A GOOD WAY)????? HOLLYLEAF IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE CHARACTERS AND YOU DID HER SO MUCH JUSTICE
THIS AND “YOUR LOVE” ARE THE BEST PMVS IVE SEEN IM NOT EVEN KIDDING
EDIT 2: I FORGOT TO ADD THAT YOU ACTUALLY MADE HOLLYLEAF’S STORY EMOTIONAL???? IVE NEVER SEEN ANYBODY DO THAT EVER. LIKE, AT THE PART WHEN SHE REVEALS THE SECRET, ALL OF THE CATS SUDDENLY TURNING INTO TV STATIC HONESTLY ALMOST MADE ME CRY, THAT’S HOW GOOD THIS IS
I WANT TO MARRY HOLLYLEAF’S CLAWS OHMYGOD
This is beautiful! This as well as the Ashfur PMV are my all time favorites to watch!
Also some headcanon I made myself: Since Ashfur is the son of Brindleface and Whitestorm, he’s the grandson of Snowfur and Thistleclaw. I’ve always felt that the tragic love seems to be a recurring pattern in the family (with Thistleclaw losing his mate and now Ashfur losing his chances with SF)
Basically, Thistleclaw has some influence down the line with who Ashfur is.
I know this is far, far less likely to be canon, but I've always found the idea of Darkstripe being Ashfur's father incredibly interesting. They were both driven by obsession, giving up everything and doing anything in an attempt to get the cat they obsessed over's affection, and in the end it destroyed them both.

Edit: and good! Dang it’s epic, great job!
Can’t wait to see this!
Edit: Better then I imagined!
Holy Hell! This is absolutely amazing! The art, The story telling, The use of amazing songs (coming from a fellow GA fan). It's all so AMAZING! Great job and keep up the great work!
I missed the premiere cuz of stupid school >:( i still love how this turned out >:0 you made this at light speed. Dude your so talented and underrated I can’t-
you are legit an absolute genius with the two pmv's im- ive been so obsessed with them,, i cant stop coming back to rewatch them :')))
ooh the parallel between the blood on hollyleaf’s face and the scratch on ashfur’s. gorgeous. i love the imagery in this
AAA, this is amazing! I love the fade out from the Ashfur pmv I can feel you’re love to this one! It’s amazing!
AGAIN! This is just as stunning!!
Love the style of it!!
Holly leaf has such an awesome story, I love her character :)
This animation shows it well!
This is a great sequel

I also really hope there will be more pmvs with this style
i love the style and the animation so much! i need a sequel to this masterpiece :0
Thank you for animating Glass Animals songs
They are is favorite
I love how she always has that stain of blood on her paws. That murder catches up to her again and again, and she cannot wash it away. It will always stay with her, and no matter how much she regrets it, she cannot change it. No mercy on her mind.
Okay but jay is so dang adorable

Ashfur has sun glasses
I love how the two videos are connected holy heck
It's like a movie!
When is the squirrelflight one gonna come out to finish the dreamland series?
Now that you plan to stop with DSMP, I hope you will make more warriors content! I love thisss
I DON"T GET WHATS HAPPENING AND HOLLYLEAF IS MY FAV. CAT AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
bro dropped the coolest warriors pmv ever and then turned into a dsmp fan….😭 #flyhigh…🕊
Someone hasn't seen my posts recently about actually hating doing DSMP content and only doing it because it was my only source of income and people only wanted DSMP but I finally had enough and am not making it anymore 👍
I wish I could animate in general😞 Imma keep trying though
HEART THIS COMMENT!
i really like how you featured hollyleafs dissociated feelings after killing ashfur! not a lot of people focus on that specifically and i think it’s a very important part of her character, considering killing a cat while not in battle was breaking the warrior code, and hollyleaf revolving her whole life around the code. you use colors so beautifully!!!
Ok, I'm not that much of a commenter, but I just finished the premier and I need to get my thoughts down.
A lot of Hollyleaf pmvs feel the exact same. You made a really interesting concept and you *ran* with it.
With your love, you showed Ashfur's perception was skewed, but it felt so different than this.
This honestly feels more tragic, you can feel how distressed Hollyleaf is, and that she can only see Ashfur and what she did to him. She doesn't see her families concern, she doesn't see anyone's reactions to what she did.
She only sees herself and what she did to Ashfur, until she's put herself in horrible danger.
God, that is SO powerful and heartbreaking.
This is so emotional, and honestly you can tell how terrifed Hollyleaf is. She's angry and blinded by that.
Your love gives off a vibe of Ashfur seeing everything as much more extreme than it is, this one feels like Hollyleaf is incapable of moving on from killing Ashfur.
Both use the same storytelling technique: showing different perspectives that aren't reality, but they feel so different.
To put it simply, this is absolutely fantastic. I love this so much, and I honestly teared up a bit watching this.
Great job. Give yourself a pat on the back.
Both Your Love and this are amazing, and are probably the best warriors pmvs I've seen.
They both tell the story that's been rehashed so many times in a fresh and interesting way that is extremely engaging.
Again, great job, and I hope you have a great day.
This honestly means so much;; I’m glad you picked up that this was on hollyleaf being blinded and overwhelmed by everything, I tried hard to focus on stuff that isn’t often shown in a lot of amvs, thank you so much for this comment ;;
@@HowDoUArt No problem!! It's honestly really creative, so I'm really glad you did it. Just A+, I'm so glad I found your channel!
100% agree, I LOVE how this shows a different perspective of Hollyleaf's. Most PMVs focus on how angry she is with her family, not on her guilt and fear after killing Ashfur
I get the same feeling from this tbh.
There’s this thing that actually reminds me of something I heard from Night in the Woods, and that at some point, the character you play as in that game, just saw shapes.
Their just shapes. Shapes and noise.
She freaks out and attacks someone because of it, and that might be a bit different from what Hollyleaf goes through, but the feeling of those around just being shapes and noise is a great concept for her. Like... anxiety almost.
“I’m not much of a commenter...”
Sees comment
Me: You should be
I love how both Ashfur and Hollyleaf had the slash of pink across their eyes to show them being blinded. Ashfur’s was sharp and calculated, like he knew what he was doing, but Hollyleaf’s was messy and like a bloodstain, similar to her guilt over killing him that drove her to make irrational decisions. That’s how I see it anyways.
I thought ashfurs was a scar he got from a previous video though?
@@miranimates1336 pretty sure it is, but it looks like it's somewhat of a blindfold
@@miranimates1336 it was
God, having everyone around Hollyleaf turn into static shapes really hit close to home and it's SUCH an impactful way to show just how much her killing Ashfur affected her- then the blood covering her eyes, Ashfur being the only thing that wasn't just static. It really shows how her touch on reality was completely slipping. Not a lot of Hollyleaf amvs or pmvs show stuff like this, this is really amazing. Then having "reality" just appear at the end, but by then it's too late and I'm just. Wow
YES I AGREE
I wanted to like your comment but you already have 666 likes and I don't feel like ruining such a perfect number

Lol me too-
@@Silly_Goofy_Idiot 720, it's OK now
Realistic psychological trauma representation? In a warriors pmv? It’s more likely than you think
Seriously I don’t read warriors and this hit real close to home
Wait, how do you do accurate psychological trauma representation?
@@BagelBoyboss its just a fact that when you're traumatized you see everything in technicolor magenta. FACT
@@Spirit_Is_Here is this genuine? Because if it is Lucarin is being satire, you don’t actually see everything in magenta. I’m honestly kinda boggled that you might’ve genuinely believed that
@@Seraphim_Sun Oml, I was half-asleep when i wrote this- sorry if it came off weird😭😭😭 I actually don't know how I thought it was even possible to be legit. Even when I was half-asleep
the insinuation that holly is blind to the consequences of her eventual actions since she can’t see the expressions of any of her friends and family, just staticky figures she can no longer understand or relate to... *chef’s kiss*
I love how this is showing the effect of what Hollyleaf did a lot differently than what any other pmv or map does. This really shows how much killing Ashfur really did to her, clouding her judgment on everything, not just her view of Ashfur, but on everyone. When she wiped the blood on her eyes, similar to Ashfur's scar, OH THAT WAS SO GOOD! Really liked the ending as well, as just before the rocks fell on her, she saw everything clearly, if only for a short time. Amazing job!!
The refrence to Ashfur's video at the start was really good,,
YYYEEESSS SOMEONE PORTRAYS HER DESCENT INTO MADNESS
I always felt like there was a HUGE amount of guilt, paranoia, and anger that led to Hollyleaf’s choices and exit, that we didn’t get to see just bc it would ruin the surprise
Am I the only one that finds that super frustrating? Like yeah it made a good plot twist to reveal that she killed him but it SERIOUSLY ruined the opportunity to make an EXCELLENT depiction of severe and unchecked emotion in Hollyleaf
In my opinion this part of her arc is the most interesting look into ANY character’s mind in Warriors, and we were completely robbed of it just for a cheap “oh?”
So glad to see a PMV that tells this side of things in this way!
Also having a two part series for Ashfur and Hollyleaf is an astonishing idea and the way you segawyed it was immaculate
I'm really hoping we'll one day get a novella or hopefully even a super edition showing Hollyleaf during that time. That way we could still have the surprising reveal about who killed Ashfur, while also showing what you're talking about! I did get the Hollyleaf novella recently, but I haven't read it yet because I got a lot of books. I'm hoping it will be good, please don't give me any spoilers of if it's like what I'm describing (or any other spoilers, either).
@@sagefeather3405
Oooo! I don’t read Warriors books anymore, but I would still like to know what that’s abt. Tell me how it was once you’ve read it, if you would!
@@jittercritter I'd be happy to! From the short description given on the back, it seems to be about her in the tunnels, which isn't what you were describing but still has a chance to be really good!
Hollyleaf is my second favourite Warriors character, and my favourite who isn't a RiverClan minor character (I MIGHT have gotten extremely attached to that Clan in the first series and still stubbornly pay attention to them and have extensive headcanons about almost all of the RiverClan cats). I really like Hollyleaf original songs, as well as AMVs, PMVs and MAPs.
I am half conscious and am most likely doomed to miss it, probably best to see it while I'm rested though, so I'm gonna sleep. UwU
Are you still asleep?
@@rottendog5774 probably cuz they haven't responded
They've been asleep for a long time im just worried
@Nisa5552 you have been sleep for 3 months?
@@gh0st1yxd29 Nah fam I actually got there in time, it was wack.
this is stunning!!! the way you showed hollyleafs breakdown represented by every other cat (besides her and ashfur) turning to solid, staticky figures and the blood on her paws and over her eyes at the peak of her distress/the song's loudest point are really creative! the colors are really nice and that last moment of a clearer more natural palette just before the rocks fall....chefs kiss. your ashfur pmv was also really good and the first vid i found on ur channel :D i cant wait to see more pmvs like this from you!
I've watched hundreds of hollyleaf pmvs/amvs/maps and this is the only one that has actually given me chills and a reason to sympathize with her. The blood from her paws overflowing her senses is such perfect symbolism for how her guilt and negative perception of him is tearing her apart. She's not sure what to do, and can only break down as she is stuck between the idea that she did It for the good of the clan, and the idea that she broke the code and killed someone.
She's so caught up and overwhelmed in her breakdown that she doesn't see those around her, she's trapped in a soundproof cage, biting at anyone who goes near like a cornered animal. She can't find who to trust anymore, she doesn't know who anyone is anymore, so she just fights for her life even if she knows she's not going to die.
This is just beautiful, no doubt, thank you for making this
The fact that I can kind of tell who is who,solely based off their color and shapes is amazing
and context that this is a hollyleaf pmv, meaning you probably know who and what js going on based on that context alone.
Man that symbolism just hit me in the face when Hollyleaf has blood on her face the same way Ashfur had his scar. It's like she became obsessed with him in a way to the point were she became him. Incredible job.😄
I just noticed a real small detail. In the very beginning, Ashfur has a tuft of Hollyleaf's fur in his claws. That's real grand!
Edit: Forgot a bit
This.
THIS!
OH MY GOD!!! THIS IS AMAZING
Okay I have a few things to say:
First of all I love how unique this is!! Most Hollyleaf AMVs/PMVs/MAPs are about her being angry, edgy, crazy etc. but this is different. You show how she actually would have felt. Guilt, regret, disconnection from others around her and fear of what might happen to her.
The colours and simple yet beautiful style is like, just so nice to look at! It's a very bold colour choice yet your style makes it pleasing to look at.
I love how the cats become silhouettes once she becomes disconnected. The only other cat who remains is Ashfur and she's so angry with him that she becomes numb of all other feelings and chooses to let her anger out at the gathering.
I don't normally get shivers from a PMV but this got me on multiple occasions, when the cats turned to sillhouttes, that spinning shot and ESPECIALLY that last shot where she looks back to see a normal Jay and Lion but it's too late.
This PMV better get popular, more people need to subscribe to you personally I don't think I've seen much of your work but after I write this comment I'm gonna watch more of your stuff!!
Keep up the amazing work!!
At the beginning when it was all staticky not because of the pink blood I thought...
*A BODY HAS BEEN DISCOVERED!*
I love the colors and aesthetics as well as the subtle changes throughout it all that show the progression of the story like the pink streak on hollyleaf's face or the noise on cats.
Showing her mental stability breaking down with everyone becoming silhouetted and her finally seeing reality when it’s too late is *mm* 👌
I love how the transition from a neon words with static characters into the real world shows her coming back to reality at the last moment
the way you did hollyleaf's expressions is just amazing, you can really see the confusion and heartbreak in her eyes. The blurring of the others around her, the constant lingering shade of ashfur, the blood spilling from her paws, it was all really telling and heartbreaking. What sold it for me is the ending where you changed the stark, unnatural colors to natural colors as the rocks cover the cave. It's like a return to reality, her seeing through all of her emotions for a brief moment as she is closed off from her brothers and the outside world. Really good stuff!

@@gryffenchicken5462 LMFAO
Omg ur incredibly fast
Also why didn’t I get notifed
Hollyleaf needs to wash her paws.
Spreading nasty germs smh
Spreading them everywhere smh
I usually feel meh about holly leaf pmv’s/amv’s unless they are au’s. This one was really neat though, I see so many and even though for me it was a bit difficult to watch since how hot the pink is I get that it’s part of the atmosphere. It’s unique and I like it which is great since I wouldn’t say I like hollyleaf all that much but I do like for the most part how the pmv puts it.
OHH SO THIS IS LIKE A SEQUEL OF THE YOUR LOVE PMV YOU MADE??? THAT'S SO COOL
You know, without their expressions, it sort of looks like Lionblaze and Jayfeather are chasing Hollyleaf *away* at the end. That's pretty cool.
Also wowie, that was fast.
1:32
He's like : "yo why-"
EXCITEMENT NOISES...
EDIT: THAT WAS SO AMAZING!!! I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS...
oh. my god. I watched the ashfur pmv earlier and didn’t know you were making another pmv!! These are so stunning and I love your designs omg
I've been watching both this and Your Love on repeat and I have some ThoughtsTM.
I know plenty of other people have said this before me, but this is a fantastic, realistic look at how Hollyleaf's killing of Ashfur affected her; the fact that the cats around her (especially ones she cared about) turned into static? That is an INCREDIBLE way of portraying dissociation!! And the fact that she's the only one who can see Ashfur really does a lot to convey the internal struggle she's going through; her whole life feels uprooted, she doesn't know who she can trust or who to turn to, and as such she doesn't see that the ones she loves are worried about her and just want to understand what's going on.
I really like the idea that only she can see the metaphorical blood on her paws, and the fact that the blood eventually makes its way across her eyes - blinding her to all else except what she's done and what she's learned. (It's a neat little continuity from Your Love concerning when Lionpaw scars Ashfur - that's when Ashfur's perception of the world and Squirrelflight really takes a dive and where he begins to act with genuine malice.)
And the emotions are just absolutely spectacular. You can feel Hollyleaf's grief, the horror at what she's done, the betrayal she feels as a result of what she learned during the fire, and you can really see how all of these combined factors work to throw her entire world into a tailspin. I absolutely adore the scene where she looks down at the Gathering, and all she can see is static and basic shapes, showing just how blinded by her pain and her fear she is. It hurts. You can feel how much it destroys her.
Something else that gets me is that, at the end when she's made it to the tunnels, THAT'S when Jayfeather and Lionblaze (and effectively, Hollyleaf's world) comes back into focus, but it's too late for her to do anything. That part really got me; she focused enough to realize what situation she'd just put herself in, but was unable to get herself out of it in time. That's heartbreaking.
All in all this is a fantastic Hollyleaf PMV that's incredibly original and gorgeous!! I love the colours and the whole "dreamworld" idea - I really, really liked the way the artstyles switch in this one at the end and in Your Love during the fire. That's so neat!!
1:28 I honestly thought Ashfur was wearing sunglasses for a hot second and I don't know why.
YOOO THAT WAS FABULOUS! The designs really compliment the song, the song fits so well with the characters, the fantastic art fits perfectly with everything!! You've outdone yourself ahhhh
Woah. The colors were well chosen. I don’t know how you did that tv fuzz effect but it looks incredible like hollyleaf’s mask of blood. Excellently styalized.
thankfully my editing software had an effect that I can slap on effects to!
THAT WAS FAST
I could def imagine Ashfur being the type to invade Holly's dreams as a ghost and just sit there, staring
Holly lag has a panic attac
Your PMVS are always so good oh my gosh
Omg totally ;; I would love to see it!
The transition between the previous PMV and this one gave me literal chills. The emotions, the visuals, all of it was just stunning! This has got to be one of my favorite PMVs of all time!
This made me think that every character has their own song that rotates around them constantly
already made an extremely long comment a year ago but I rewatched and just realized something and holy fuck the blood on her paws makes me think that she was terrified that anyone would be able to look at her and realize her secret. like that feeling when you're hiding something and you're just convinced everyone will look at you and see right through you? that also really explains why she spilled it at the gathering: she thought everyone knew anyways, she was trapped in such a horrible echo chamber because she never reached out and oh my god
Im tired
It’s all so incredibly neon. I love it.
Wasn't sure what I was expecting to see when i saw this video in my recommendations. This? This is amazing!
I really have to admire how you did this as kind of like a sequel to your previous PMV, Your Love, I assume. You really don't see people connecting their AMVs/PMVs often. I just find that so cool! No to mention, how dang quickly you got this done. You're already a big inspiration to me and I don't even know who you are! New sub!
