Do you have any favorite warrior cat maps? Asking for a friend. 🫶🏼

cheetehz is not the best and has so much controversy but GOD do i love hawkstorm. its just so well-composed its an absolute treat.

poor george i think about so much ,,,, its so fantastic and dramatic

and of course i have to plug starclan's chosen. it is SO fucking well-done. its such a labor of love and all of the time and effort shows,,, it can be a bit visually cluttered but there's just so much to look at here

and unravel ..... holy peak !!!! shout out to needletail just in general for reasons i cannot talk about yet. she inspired something beautiful in my work lmao

Today in Twitter Warriors discourse: people have convinced themselves there are no MAPs/ PMVs that use songs by PoC. There are, y'all just showing that you're not watching them.

Here, I'll even give a loose list of some, if you don't believe me:

God's Whisper (song by Raury)- Hawkstorm Map -Cheeteh Z

Devil's Whisper (Raury, again) - Dark Forest Map- Koerenn

The Brady's (tank and the bangas) - Mapleshade omg - Bok Bok Choy

There's a ton of warriors themed vids to the "I am Not Insane" animation meme (song "Loonatic" by Loona)

The user Ranly_Lonely does a ton of animations to songs by Korean and Japanese musicians

Several Mexican songs were used in Serpent Sol

Dastaan E Ashfur uses a song from a Bollywood (Indian) production.

Need I go on? Or has the point been made.

If you're not seeing PoC music being used, then it's because you're actively avoiding it, and that says a lot more about you.

You want more? Then great, there should and could always be more, but please don't pretend there aren't any. Or just be upset that a song you like hasn't been used and convince yourself that the reason it hasn't been used is deeper than it is.

anon i understand what you're saying but this was a discussion specifically about BLACK music not being used in warriors videos as often as music made by white and nonblack bands/artists. which is true!

i've been in this fandom for over nine years, trust me when i say that the warriors fandom is one of the most racist ones i've been a part of. your passive-aggressive response to black people and poc talking about this issue was absolutely not necessary.

p.s. here's a good thread that avi made relating to black music that have been used in warrior cats videos! please check it out!

PiB AU Scourge and Fuego 🧊🔥

Some thoughts I had for a backstory concerning my request muse Scourge and @firestcr !! This is just an idea ofc, so if this doesn't work for you that's totally fine <33

it's okay to rb this btw!

info under the cut:

This is inspired by the Hawkstorm MAP, which is one of my favorites!

In this AU, Scourge and Fuego are siblings from the same litter, born in a small town just an hour or so out from Mexico City within a run-down, dilapidated hut. Their mother, a stray, does her best to care for the two with limited resources, and they have a fairly normal childhood at first, getting along well. Scourge (then Tiny) is raised as a girl, as that is his assigned gender at birth. He is often adorned with a flower, the anemone, which symbolizes the idea of being forsaken, which is pure coincidence to their reality, but foreshadows his fate.

One night, during a particularly devastating storm, lightning strikes a tree close by to their hut, and it catches fire. The fire spreads with extreme speed as their mother wakes to the roar of the flames and tries to get her children to safety, but can only carry one through the rapidly deconstructing building. Tiny does his best to keep up, but is barred from following as debris collapses, blocking the path to his only exit. Nutmeg flees with her remaining kit, devastated as she assumes Tiny has been crushed.

Fire has destroyed their home and Rusty's only sister, yet he is born from the ashes, and as Nutmeg eventually succumbs to her own burns and smoke inhalation in town, Rusty is taken in by townsfolk and named Fuego after his pelt and past. As he is raised, more and more of the incident falls from his immediate memory, but he never forgets the death of his littermate and mother, promising to carry them within his heart always as he becomes the hero that the town deserves, fighting evil as he travels place to place. As he outgrows the collar handed down to him by townsfolk, he no longer wears it, but keeps the item out of sentimental value. He gains a partisan to utilize as his favored weapon.

It's unknown how Tiny was able to escape that night and survive, but he did make an escape, bearing horrific burns that would result in hair loss, troubled breathing, as well as skin and nerve damage. Fortunately, some of his fur would grow back, but not the full amount, giving him a more mangy appearance and earning him the name El Chupacabra by locals. This treatment comes to the exact opposite of Fuego's, as Scourge decides to give himself a third name for shortness' sake and to keep his anger within his title. This is when he begins to realize he is a tomcat. To him, Tiny is dead as well, though more metaphorically.

He becomes an outlaw, bearing a hatchet ready to kill and a collar of bone and tooth to settle his new look. Though he is a bitter opponent, a few select strays admire the tenacity and fierceness of his work, occasionally grouping with him for resources in hopes of food and shelter, but they are not fully loyal. At a true sniff of danger, they flee, leaving Scourge alone in his mission to rustle livestock and commit vicious theft and killings.

Scourge remembers the night vividly in trauma, and knows who Fuego is. He harbors resentment for his brother, but will not openly acknowledge that he knows Fuego. Instead, he acts as the antagonist, and the opposing force to all that Fuego has built as a reputation. If Fuego is the hero, then El Chupacabra must be the villain.

NANISTAR WAIT YOU WERE IN THE HAWKSTORM MAP????? I WAS JUST REWATCHING IT AND I SAW YOUR USER IN ONE OF THE CREDITS

i was in hollyfawn, cowboy mapleshade, travelerfeather and sharpen your teeth too :) and im in serpent and the stars

cheeteh is my buddy

[druidshollow]

hi the hawkstorm map got in my recommends again today and ur part in there is still rlly goofd....

thank you waaauagh!!!! i was really happy to take a part because meteorology and tornado science are two of my special interests hehehe

[mekkyz-dubz]

Ok real talk, both Hawkstorm and Hollyfawn made me interested into tornadoes and The Family Crest music, and the fact that Cheeteh Z abusing the crew behind the scene (e.g. Photosensitive part, mistreatment), along with a small deadline in such a big MAP is just insane.

This fake "MAP" named "Mothwing's Sign" makes him a final nail in the coffin. Not only is it a loophole for him, but it is insulting to not just multi animator community, but the entire victims of Cheeteh Z in regards of controversy.

If you didn't know the context, here's a doc from ofukitty, lunartempest, and demi mon so you can get what's going on. I'm so sorry to the victims who went through.

[saintpallis]

are you alright with wc requests? (or map wc requests like hollyfawn, hawkstorm, etc) (asking as anon for now) (also map as in multi animator project!!)

Sure! :D

[noivern]

Hawkstorm MAP - Part 14

And credit to @mudshadow for the bgs/editing!

[catzgam3rz]

I think I'm good to post these now soooo

Have some character sketches I did last night to get a hold of the cats that will be appearing in my Serpent and the Stars map part :D!

[anonymous-ampersand]

HI AGAIN !!! i need to start scheduling posts i always forget to post here </3 Anyways here’s more CheetehZ MAP fanart !! In MS Paint because I adore the program so much and how good it feels to draw on :} All designs by CheetehZ and their respective MAP teams !

info and links to the MAPs under the cut !

WARNING for disturbing content, blood/gore, cartoon animal death, etc in all of these !! Pretty standard for Warriors content but Bramblefur especially has disturbing content that might be uncomfortable to watch! I believe some of them have the specific warnings on-screen before the MAP starts, and most all of them/all of them have them listed in the video description.

From top to bottom / first to last :

“Bramblefur | FIRE”, Ashfur au volcano MAP

“Pirate Scourge”, Scourge/Ravenpaw pirate au MAP

“Hawkstorm”, Hawkfrost tornado au MAP

“Werewhisker”, Sleekwhisker werecoyote au MAP

[wc-confessions]

Been seeing some MAPs basically copy the concepts of CheetahZ’s MAPs like the time traveler one, serpent and the stars, and I even saw some copy Hawkstorm or Hollyfawn and all I have to say is that it gets repetitive and boring. Most of the time they copy the concept and just replace characters, some straight up use the same song and plotline but will also replace characters and its strange to say the least. I’m pretty sure people can come up with their own ideas, but they just want to piggybank off of already existing ones and use other people’s groundwork for their own gain. Don’t do that. It’s disrespectful to everyone who worked hard on the MAP you’re copying from.
