![Ashfur Pigeon AMV [gore warning]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/YbNvg32i7Mo/mqdefault.jpg)
The most interesting part is that the first part leads the audience to believe that it's from Ashfur's point of view, and it's some kind of AU where he attacks during the fire scene. However, the ending reveals that is clearly not the case, he was still killed by the river by Hollyleaf. Which contextualizes the entire thing as being Hollyleaf just spinning a story to herself about how her killing him was self defense and she had no choice, rather than the plain murder it actually was.
Ashfur was still willing to kill all of them if Squirrel didn't speak up. He also was in on a plot to kill Firestar. Granted when Holly killed him it really wasn't out of self defence, he wasn't trying to kill Holly then, but he still clearly had the nerve to kill.
Everyone can be a good person if they try. However not everyone wants to try, and you can't risk the lives of others waiting for a wicked person like Ashfur to change.
Squirrel could of told her father what happened and if Ashfur tried to call out her family she could of easily said she lied.
Or even explained things to Firestar before things got out of hand. Ashfur at that point had proven himself dangerous and willing to hurt others. Firestar would of absolutely banished him for attempting to kill his daughter's kits.
@@autumngalix4616 Ashfur was a real piece of work, but like you said, when Hollyleaf killed him, he wasn't a physical threat and could have been handled other ways. Certainly Hollyleaf could have just told Firestar about it, as you say. Even if the clan believes Ashfur's words, the most Hollyleaf stands to lose is her pride.
But that's precisely it. Hollyleaf was vain and arrogant, and she couldn't handle their pride and honor being besmirched by Ashfur. Hence why she found murder to be preferable, and why the video is interesting in so far as it's very clearly how Hollyleaf PERCEIVES things. From her perspective, Ashfur attacking their honor by saying that they're bastards is equivalent to if not worse than if he tried to physically kill them, and so killing Ashfur in turn is self-defense. It's this same twisted mentality that is why Hollyleaf is on the verge of murdering Leafpool until Leafpool convinces her that she would suffer more being left alive.
Ashfur was an awful cat who had it coming, but Hollyleaf's actions were a terrible thing to do as well solely for the sake of her pride.
Why is ash fur in starclan 0-o
That also explains why Hollyleaf has such a prominent role when she appears earlier, and why her brothers weren't there in the fire scene. In that moment, all that mattered to her were Squirrelflight, Ashfur, and the world, the _lie_ she had lived, falling apart around her.
@@klikssiikubra314 It wasn't for pride. Hollyleaf had based her life around the Warrior Code and her Clan. This can be seen from early on, such as when she trained as a healer despite not being good at it or really liking it, but instead because it was what she perceived as the most helpful for her Clan, or when she was upset to learn that Lionpaw had been secretly meeting with Heatherpaw. When she learned the truth, it wasn't just her trust that was broken, it was everything she had. All that was important to her, all that she thought she had, was torn away. What did she have now? Not her mother, not when she had broken the warrior code. Not her father, not when she couldn't know if he had been aware. Not any of her extended family, not when she knew the truth, the ugly secret, they didn't. She knew she had lost everything, and she couldn't bear to have the same scorn and hatred surrounding her as that which was within her. Killing Ashfur was wrong, but it was a choice made in a desperate situation.
The way his mouth foams when he says “lover”, his claws unsheathing when they hug, the gorgeous backgrounds, it has so many little details that make this a masterpiece! I send you my virtual applause!
The fact he unsheathed his Claws when he was hugging SquirrelFlight to truly show how obsessive he was is absolutely amazing. And the foaming at the mouth when he said "Lover" as if he was truly heart broken and was screaming till the point he was out of breath to cause the foaming before hand. Everything about this AMV is stunning.
THIS IS SO INSANELY GOOD I LOVE THE ENVIRONMENTS AND CHARACTER ANIMATIONS WOWOW! The determination and dedication to make such a detailed amv is outstanding! Absolutely gorgeous work!!
i like how in this pmv, only 4 cats are shown. ashfur, squilf, brambleclaw, and hollyleaf.
this is because I’d imagine there were only 3 cats ashfur actually paid attention to, and that was squirrelflight, the girl who “broke his heart”, brambleclaw, the one who “stole her away from him”, and hollyleaf, the one who killed him. he’s so blinded by his possessiveness and rage he doesn’t even realize there are other cats around him, one’s who cared about him- he chose to focus on the very few bad things of his life and let that consume him instead of realizing how much he had. he didn’t suffer because one girl rejected him, he just made a huge deal out of it because he didn’t care for anyone else. therefore I’d like to imagine no one else is shown in this pmv because he’s so blinded by a woman rejecting him he can’t even realize there’s other cats who cared about him, such as ferncloud and cloudtail. he had no realization that his life was a good one, he just tried to make it into a bad one.
perfect analysis
Actually, there are 2 more cats in 0:27 who I think are Cloudtail, his adoptive brother and Ferncloud, his sister. But I'm not sure. Ashfur's siblings care about him and are there for him, yet he still chooses to focus only on Squirrelflight, Brambleclaw and Hollykit
But lion was his app and he purposely attacked him... maybe he saw lion as squirrel at that moment?
i love the detail of how u only included hollyleaf among the three!! its gives the idea of ashfur reminiscing about his life in his last moments before his death, and only being able to focus on hollyleaf because she was the one who killed him. it gives an isolated feel from the world and it really fits ashfurs obsessive nature!!
squilfs eyes are canonically green, I like how she has amber eyes in this since it looks like a subtle nod to how she has eyes for bramble claw, who's eyes we never see here, it also shows how much hollyleaf felt disconnected to squilf upon finding out, when squilf disowned her to save her despite how it was squilf who raised her, or maybe squilf actually has leaf pools eyes here, Holly's bio mom
THE ATMOPSHERIC ENVIRONMENTS, THE STORYTELLING, THE COMPOSITION & THE ANIMATION!!!. This is just nothing but BREATHTAKING WORK!!! You raised the bar again, no doubt!!!!
THIS IS AMAZING!! I love how Ashfur hugs Squirrelflight at the beginning and unsheathes his claws to demonstrate how possessive he is, the section with the fire where he lip-syncs is so impactful as well. Absolutely wonderful work!
The difference in his walk after he focuses on squirrel and holly is horrifying actually, amazing body language in this amv.

Coincidence: squrrielflights one little spot beside her muzzle, hinting that Brambleclaw is her ONLY mate (more noticeable at 1:00)

When ash sees holly and squirrel in the fire the claws he unsheathes when he breaks the twig is on the same paw as the one he hugs her with
@@honeybeehomicide6760 cool!
Another little detail I liked was at the end of Ashfur’s paw after he was killed, the two leaves/petals form a heart which then breaks apart almost immediately
i don’t normally comment on animations anymore but i JUMPED when i saw which song this is, bc la dispute is one of my all-time favorite bands, and i never see anyone talk about them and i’m SO HAPPY that someone recognizes their music!!!! and i’m so happy their music was used for this treasure!!!!!
this is SUCH a good and fresh interpretation of ashfur’s story im losing it. the way he charges towards squirrelflight and how hollyleaf kills him mid-pounce,,, MAN it’s so good. and how in the beginning, he’s shown to be possessive and pushy,,,
and the way you paint rocks is SO GOOD ive been staring at it for so long. i swear your style is eye candy….
composition and visual storytelling has always been a strong suit of your work... you always seem to sense what is and isn't relevant to the plot of each video, and its really cool to see that present with your choice here to streamline the story by cutting out jay and lion and also that excellent hard cut from ashfur's attack at the fire to holly's killing him at the fire. tbh your animatics in the past have held up as fully-complete works in their own right because of this sixth-sense towards visual storytelling alone, so to see a fully polished work like this where you ALSO add your incredible ability to create atmosphere through colour and experiment with more painter-ly background styles into the mix was really such a treat to watch. and, as others have already said, the raw emotion that comes through in all the little details (the foam at ash's mouth, every single close-shot of their expressions) is phenomenally effective too. was very excited to see this complete and it did not disappoint - can't wait to see what's next!
I think this might be one of the best amvs I've ever seen?? The environments alone are stunning, it's so different from what we normally see in warrior cats animations and it was awesome to see something so different and atmospheric!! and the composition and storytelling is incredible as well, I'm just in awe over this!!! you did such a wonderful job!!
I'm an absolute sucker for the timing of this amv! Small details like Ash and Squirrel popping up from the grass on the beat of "Dar-ling" just makes my brain tingle!
Your backgrounds and compositions are absolutely gorgeous! Amazing!
this is just PHENOMENAL i feel like i gotta keep rewatching its like every brush stroke is so intentional every shape feels so meaningful and its so intense and gorgeous
CAMERON!!!!! THIS WAS INCREDIBLE UR SO INCREDIBLY GOOD AT PORTRAYING EMOTION AND ASHFURS OBSESSIVE LOVE + the bgs are to die for NOT TO MENTION THE DESIGNS??? 10000/10 💖💖💖💖
ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!!! I think I've rewatched this like 10 times gAh absolutely love this AMV is so beautifully done!!
THIS IS BREATHTAKING
WORDS CAN'T EXPRESS HOW MUCH THIS AMAZES ME
Thy storytelling, the smooth animation, the color choise. I just. I can't process the fact that projects like this exist just out of love. You did such a good work!!
Bro broke jayfeathers stick😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
😂😂
ashfur lunging at squirrelflight in the fire is so rule of cool that it makes me (someone who cares Very Much about tiny details and character motivations) just appreciate how damn cool it is. this AMV is awesome, the color choices are super good!
The mouth foaming, the timing at the end, holleyleaf washing her paws in the river, all such powerful imagery! Lively background and environmental effects too, just outstanding work all around :)
The lyrics do hit me in the heart, the song fits ashfur and the events so well! it looks so Nice!
holy shit this is good 😭😭
the world you built around them and everything like that- it’s super unique and i’ve never seen anyone interpret it like that before-! that and the animation and attention to detail, everything about this is incredible, truly!
good lord, the level of details in this is insane! the animation is fluid and incredible!! the emotion and the way the twig snaps at “passion breaking” sent chills down my spine. fantastic work
I really love the way you portray Thunderclan camp!
such a realistic and unique movement to the characters! really cool!
THIS IS SO WELL DONE...the backgrounds are so pretty and the animation is so smooth. You can really tell that your style has come together here amazingly!
this is really good for a lot of reasons, but I especially love the backgrounds and just the colors you use from scene to scene are *chefs kiss*
Wow, that was AWESOME. 5 months of hard work sure payed off because that looks Stunning. The animation was so smooth and that transition between where hollyleaf jumped at ashfur and where he died was so clean. I love this Wonderful job!!!
this is amazing! i love the unique way you illustrated all of the scenes that take place, it really stands out compared to other ashfur AMVs
YESSSSSS it is such an ashfur song. like sin and punishment, I must watch every ashfur video to this song, I must see every take. and the red in their air?? instant classic, not just nostalgia here, the lighting, the BACKGROUNDS?? like, it felt like they were in IN a place. like the backgrounds are their own character in themselves, I am going to just. look intensely at the backgrounds now.
(also! Good idea only showing hollyleaf instead of the 3, I think it will streamline the beats of the story easier so non-readers can also follow it!)
THIS IS INSANE!!!! I can’t even put into words how much I love this thing but MAN that transition between the fire scene and holly killing him was SO unique
This is so unbelievably underrated. I’m in love!!
i love how it gets more loud and aggresive as it goes
auuugh the leaf detatching from his paw.... im so so so normal.... i love ashfur so much he's possibly my favorite character despite being so morally wrong. i loved this! great work!
Oh my gosh! How could I not find you channel sooner!? The backgrounds are gorgeous the characters look amazing and the movement is so smooth! My Jaw dropped at the very first scene and knew I had to watch it! It’s so pretty I just can’t say that enough!
LA DISPUTE!! AAA WHAT A SONG CHOICE I THINK IT SUITS THIS STORY SO WELL OMG THIS IS SO INCREDIBLE 😭😭
oh my god this is INCREDIBLE. the most cinematic interpretation of this scene ive ever seen. your sense of timing is impeccable. thank you so much for sharing this!
OH MY GOOOOD THE ANIMATION, FRAMING, EXPRESSION, BACKGROUND ART EVERYHTING IS BREATHTAKING
I absolutely LOVE the storytelling !! this is a complete masterpiece ??? The timings and intention really put you in immersion too
(and baby holly is the cutest thing oh dear god)
YOU'RE SO COOL UA-cam USER CAMERON COLLAR!! I'm just going to use this comment to list things I adore about this AMV, I am very much taking notes here bc this is fantastic.
- the backgrounds and colours: god, so pretty, the painterly style is really pleasing to look at. the colour choices are *chef kiss* and the shading guides really help make the characters pop. also that manual shading in the fire scene really paid off you legend.
- the acting: WHAT A CREEPY GUY. I HATE ASHFUR SO MUCH! the unsheathed claws, vibrating in rage while he watches squilf and bramble, literally foaming at the mouth?? you did a great job at making ashfur behave like the stinkiest cat alive!!!
the animation: WTF YOU REALLY DIDN'T CUT ANY CORNERS.... this must have taken you ages and it was so worth it!! the unique frames have me replaying this a lot to catch every detail.
- boarding, blocking, staging: another banger cameron collar storyboard... okay even if I had no idea what a warrior cat was I'd be able to understand what was going on. the SKILL dude. also, the compositions, shot variety, blocking of the characters... VERY NICE. I especially love the shot where ashfur moves closer to the camera to scream into it. the camera moves, parallax and blurs look super professional.
(can you tell this hit the "must analyze" button in my animator brain??)
anyway yes this is awesome Cameron
Absolutely enthralled and obsessed with this, can't stop rewatching-
oh mygosh this is ltierally amazing
THE WNVIRONMENTS AND BACKDROPS ARE SO COOOL THE HIGHROCK FEELS IMPOSSIBLY TALL AND LARGE AND EVERYTHIGN LOOKS LKKE !!! AWESOME
THIS IS SO GOOD IM ILLLLL THE BGS ARE SO LOVELY THE COMPOS OMG....
god there's so many good details in here - hugging her with claws, the way his mouth foams, the leaves in his claws at the end - but this is also just SO pretty and well animated!! obsessed
SLOBBERING AT THE BGS?? GOD I wasn't able to catch the premiere in time but regardless of that I'm in awe!!! I love the designs and character animation too, ty for the food!
okay but this is actually so fucking beautifully made like the detailed backgrounds and the smooth animation and designs i just love it
i am going insane this has to be one of my favorite amvs ive ever seen and also with LA DISPUTE on it ive won a lottery today

THIS WAS ABSOLUTLEY STUNNING AND I CANNOT STOP REWATCHING THIS! The designs, the backgrounds, the animation, the small details AAAAHHH! All the movement is so fluid and realistiv! STUNNING!
I love La Dispute! This song fits so well!
I am shooketh by this, the sheer TALENT AND HARD WORK PUT INTO THIS- animation is smoother than George Clooney is at flirting, your characters are so expressive! Oh my god i can't even begin to imagine how long it took, like every frame was animated so gorgeously. Ahh, an the backgrounds, the backgrounds!! to die for. speechless
Holy moly this was awesome! It turned out soooo good bravo, the backgrounds, the animation, the lighting, expressions and so much more!! I could go on and on about how well done this is all day, but I will say that you did a fantastic job!
I love how his mouth was foaming when he says lover, and when the things says snapping the stick snapped, these details are like amazing
this is absolutely incredible... the gorgeous painted backgrounds, the expressions, the perfect song choice. ugh. absolutely incredible
This is one of the most beautiful amv’s I have ever seen in my entire life.
You should be incredibly proud of yourself, this is stunning, the amount of details shown in the backgrounds to the characters design. This is definitely one of my favourites.💖

LITTLE HOLLYKIT IS SO CUTE
I'll never get over how good thie is
holy shit dude the dedication in this and the details oh my god this is amazing im putting this on the fridge for sure
YOO THIS VERSION OF THE FIRE SCENE!! 😤👌It transitions so well into the attack at the lake as the mv amps up until the confrontation, before immediately cooling down once Ashfur is attacked. Absolutely love this!
YOOOO THE BACKGROUNDS AND ANIMATION ARE ALL OUTSTANDING!!! Loved the color palette and all the details and emotion!!! :D
wow this is beautiful. genuinely one of the best warriors animatics there are, and with one of my favourite bands no less. I hope you go far with however you further use your skills!
This animation is BEAUTIFUL!!! I've been watching it non-stop for weeks!! I love how you have the visuals match the lyrics ( like the stick snapping in half when Ashfur steps on it at the lyric "I think it was your passion snapping" )
And these backgrounds! Ugh! They're divine!
I also love these designs oh my gosh, especially for Hollyleaf! You just keep cooking absolute bangers left & right!! ❤❤
LOVE THAT YOU SHOWED ASHFUR BEING DISTINCTLY POSSESSIVE HERE!
THIS IS GORGEOUS! I've never seen backgrounds like this, and everything is so smoothhh
WHOA the backgrounds are GORGEOUS MY DUDE!!! Excellent job!!
this is my roman empire
That is literally the best Hollyleaf design I've ever seen!
each second has the quality of a 5 second map part its incredible you made the entire thing
CAMERON THIS IS SO GOOD!!!!! It's so vibrant and animated and ughh I can hardly stand it! Giving Ash emo hair was just the icing on the cake dasffsda
Holy heck that was really reallly good!! omg the lipsync style was so so unique and the designs fit the song really well!! the transitions were really good and overall the whole thing screamed ashfur!!! it reminds me of warriors before alot of au's and stuff thats good too but not the same and just the good old og warriors content come from you always!! :))
This is stunning, it shows how obsessive he was and the song fits it really well
I keep coming back to watch this, it's just SO GOOD. The beat, the way you really just focus on it and left out Jayfeather and Lionblaze kicked such a unique feel for this in particular. Amazing work! ALSO JUST THE FACT YOU SHADED IT, LIKE GOSH DANG, those expressions, background, and the fluidity of the animation just made my jaw drop.
I'm obsessed with how you rendered the backgrounds! The whole thing is gorgeous!
This is just stunning! The backgrounds, the intensity of that scene with Ashfur running towards Squirrelflight! Amazing work!
i have been in love with this since it was recently uploaded, the perfect ashfur amv. everyone's emotions are conveyed with such weight, amazing stuff
this is amazing! the backgrounds and movements etc! I also love how when its "oh NO" it turns to squilf probably saying no. and also the twit snapping when the song says "snapping". very cool
YOOO This is so freakin incredible!!! The camara angles and colors and how consistent and clean the animation is - it's all so so impressive! Thanks for giving us this now I have to watch it 4343948 more times ;o;
