- was put on this planet to draw leafpool. (cw for blood and cat death)
Have been working on this on and off for quite a few months now. Leafpool is a very tragic and interesting character to me in the way that she's caught in this sort of hopeless cycle where starclan controls her life, she goes through utter misery because of it, and then they turn around to blame her for it. I wanted to explore a more bitter and apathetic angle to that idea, and show leafpool recognising and resenting the stagnation and unfairness of her position- she longs for either an escape from her life or a return to how things once were, but neither is possible.

I got shivers with the shot of leafpool and kit hollyleaf and leafpool crying over holly's body. I love this!
This is AMAZING - Leafpool is my favourite character and so many people overlook how she never had her happy ending. Squirrelflight was forgiven by Jayfeather and Lionblaze. Squirrelflight was forgiven by Brambleclaw. Squirrelflight was made deputy. Squirrelflight had children of her own. Squirrelflight became leader.
Leafpool was never truly forgiven by her clan mates in the same way, people still gave her distrustful looks and her children never really forgave her and still felt awkward around her until she died. Her children even argued over her literal dead body laying in the middle of camp about what she did. She deserved so much better and even in Starclan she was never truly forgiven.
RIGHT ppl are always yapping about hollyleaf but never talk about poor leafpool
The ending sequence is so striking. Leafpool's inner monologue is never explored much in the books, leaving her feeling sort of shallow and bland about how everything turned out. The very last two frames hit the hardest--bright, happy, fresh, excited, full of life young Leafpaw meeting StarClan for the first time and then, years later, the bitter results. You're right, StarClan played so much of a role that they can arguably be blamed for the damage done but they shove all that blame right back onto Leafpool. She was a tool they used and were happy to discard. You would think someone like Yellowfang or Bluestar would have shown empathy and advocated for her, considering how StarClan puppeted their lives as well. Huge missed opportunity on the Erins imo
Sometimes I forget she even died because her death was so anticlimactic. Leafpool deserved better 😔
to think she technically died in between books if you only read the main series is pretty atrocious
The switch from Crowfeather backlit by the sun to him at the full moon gathering rejecting that he was the father of kits… very creative. Love this whole video to bits, Leafpool is such a wonderful character
Leafpool and Squirrelflight have been so tortured by not only the narrative but the fanbase as well and deserve so much justice. This pmv is so well put together!!
Excellent PMV. Love the colors and the mood, you captured the song so well. I LOVE how you didn’t have Leafpool break down crying when Hollyleaf confronted her with the death berries, it always stood out to me that she was so calm and collected while Hollyleaf was frantic. I always saw it as her holding the power in the situation, while Hollyleaf was desperate and lashing out. Seems that gets lost a lot in fan work so I appreciate the inclusion. And the contrast in the end with Crowfeather being within the sun and then the moon???
Also the lyric “the sound of cars” being over Cinderpelt’s dead body made me giggle a bit. I’m going to hell.
this is STUNNING and so well portrayed. i love leafpool so much and WOW you did her story justice. i cannot get over how hard her life was and she never really was redeemed, even in starclan. ashfur was allowed into starclan and accepted by everyone for 'loving too much' when he attempted the murder of four different individuals, not including organizing firestar's death with hawkfrost. leafpool brought two of the three prophesized cats into the clan and the clans would not have survived without her. was she flawless?? no, but she wasn't as flawed as some of these other cats who skated by with no consequences.
I think think is one of the few Warrior Cats pmvs that is not only extremely book-accurate but touches something in me.
How is it not book accurate? (Not meant in an aggressive manner, i am genuinely curious)
@@typologycrisis Sorry for the late reply, but what I mean is that a lot of other warrior cats fans like to play favorites, so they manipulate the story through their art to favor their favorite character. This one doesn't do that, it includes the events how they were from the book
THIS IS GOING TO MAKE ME CRY!!! The emotion in this is so strong and it really makes me feel for Leafpool. I really like how she doesn’t look sorry for her actions in that last frame in StarClan. She looks like she’s bout to argue that it’s the right thing and I love that. This PMV may have single-handedly made Leafpool my favourite character
I absolutely love how you can see her going through the five stages of grief in mere moments!!! I just realised and it’s awesome!! I love how how the colours represent the album itself and the art is so pretty!!!
Denial 1:43 - her head is up, eyes squinched in a way that reads ‘w-what?’ Or confusion and even ‘seriously?’
Anger 1:45 - her head is brought forth almost challengingly, her eyebrows down into classic angry eyebrows, her ears up a brought back, her face seeming sadly smug
Bargaining 1:47 - her face changes to appear more docile and a more pleasing look on her face!
Depression 1:48 - her head is brought down as she averts her gaze, a sad smile on her face as she slumps, her ears bringing down
Acceptance 1:50 - a pure look of defeat, she has no choice but to accept her reality, her ears down her head low :c
It. Is. AWESOEME!! This is incredible!!
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL…. the pmv fits the emotion of the song sooo well and the apathetic way you portray leafpool here hits so hard. “there’s no hope for me” MAN!!!
the last 50 seconds alone make me want to cry… the shot of next to hollys dead body AND walking away from mothwing AND show she’s initially so excited as a medcat apprentice to meet starclan only for them to turn on her… THIS IS SO WELL MADE
god leafpool is such a good character she deserved so much better
This pmv made me more appreciative of leafpool, literally made her one of my favorite characters just now.
I LOVE LOVE how you portrayed the scene with Hollyleaf and Leafpool. Leafpool’s emotions are so well explored in that scene.
Honestly this just shows how leafpool never got her happy ending. usually in warrior cats when a character dies they get a happy ending by joining starclan, but it really goes to show how brutal starclan can be. based on how starclan/all the other cats acted towards leafpool when the secret was revealed, im surprised leafpool didnt end up in the dark forest.
actually my favorite leafpool pmv ever
I have went back to watch this video over and over again multiple times, I simply can’t get it out of my mind. It’s excellent. The song choice, colors, character designs (I LOVE THE CONTRAST BETWEEN CROWFEATHER AND BIG FLUFFY NIGHTCLOUD, despite the fact that they’re both black windclan cats!!) and storytelling is just perfect.
I have always had this underlying feeling of worry for Leafpool when reading about her in the books, because her life objectively sounds miserable. Eventually I had to brace myself before I read any scenes from her pov, because it just left me feeling hopeless for her. When you stack everything up, it definitely seems like the writers barely explore how horrible everything must’ve felt. I don’t think the Erins are aware of how unfair everything really must’ve been for her. She gave away everything she had, and recieved nothing but blame for all the things she was told to do. This video explains this perfectly.
The writers seem to barely give her any emotions, when realistically, she should be heartbroken, bitter and unsure if she even wants to join Starclan. All the facial expressions convey this perfectly. She just looks hopeless, tired and bitter, you gave her the emotions the writers never gave her.
Keep rewatching this, your Leafpool content is truly unmatched
This is a nice Warrior Cats animation PMV😁👍
I really like how you portrayed Leaf's emotions in this, and that you showcased all of the loss and hardship she's had to endure. Going through constant grief will leave you worn and often hopeless, I always thought she must've felt truly alone throughout many moments in her life. Wonderful work.
THOSE LAST SHOTS HAD ME GAGGED OH MY GOSHHHH. MOTHWING AND THEN SORRELTAIL AND THEN HOLLYLEAF MY GOD. i need the leafpool disenthusiasts to see this and try to tell me she was a bad mother. you did a great job showing not only how much she had to give up but how much she collaterally lost ESPECIALLY the end with starclan!!! and the rage in her expression. gosh i've always admired your work from twitter but this video is an astonishing masterpiece
2:10 damn dude... that broke me
been meaning to write something about this for a couple days now. first of all this is so beautifully done... the color scheme is gorgeous while also managing to feel a bit bleak and dull at the same time if that makes sense... there's so much emotion packed in here and you can really feel for leafpool throughout the video. i especially love how you portrayed her mental state. the deathberry scene is something i've seen countless interpretations of but none that i've seen tend to get it quite right. UNTIL NOW!!! you really captured the energy so well, which is something i also love about your other leafpool video, future me hates me. such a great job overall, thank you for sharing your beautiful work!!!
gorgeous pmv!! the last frame is so good, love leafpool with just one claw unsheathed but she has to hold her tongue. really amazing work!!!
Amazing job, i love all the artwork and little details. My favorite part was on 0:35 , when Leaf was turning back, the 3 three different colored lights in her eyes representing the three. Awesome job❤❤❤
1:43 the emotions in this moment, how Leafpool looks almost with irony 🤌
As a warrior cats and Microphones fan... this fits perfectly
oh Woah, the colors paired with the music, its so wistful...
Oh.. this song is... really nice actually.
the microphones AND leafpool in one video?? holy shit ive been blessed
i don't even have words to describe how much i love this video😭
Not me being sucked back into warriors because of amazing PMV’s like yours. Leafpool has always been one of my favorites and you portrayed her tragedy so well. Two scenes that particularly hurt:
1) Leafpool and Squirrelflight being sweet and happy kits when they were younger transitioning to Leafpool comforting her sister crying over her broken relationship as a direct result of Starclan’s influence, as Leafpool looks up at the stars with an expression that screams “Was it worth it?”
2) Mothwing and Leafpool (Mothpool shipper till my dying breath) cuddling in the grass being super close transitioning to them being so distant because of Mothwing’s lack of faith and own personal trauma with Starclan.
this is fucking BEAUTIFUL im obsessed. mannnn. i will probably say more later but wow... the colors.. the emotions? all of it is just brilliant dude. the ending sequence showing all of her relationships and how they changed over time and everything.. ughh so good. this is so good
sobbing screaming crying leafpool you are my everything . this pmv made me cry for real
ohhh this is so evocative.. i love the wordless scenes at the end. really conveys her isolation :^(
Leafpool never gets enough love. I love the expressions and pacing here!!
i like this a lot so i am commenting for the algorithm. this is very cool and good 👍
this is too gorgeous to be real.
I’m not joking.
god this made me feel things. leafpool did her best and she deserved sooo much better
Omg... This is so beautiful and perfectly captures her story. Actually brought me to tears
darn.. I never really thought to much about the characters lifes in the warriors books but people always miss how leafpools death effected jayfeather but still both of firestars children deserve better lifes even though squirrelflight er star now is still developing because they had bad lifes in different ways like squirrelflight, so say you were keeping a secret for your sibling and jt was that you have to say their children are yours byt let's say one of them just tells the secret to everyone then your boyfriend is mad so he literally either abuse you or act like your not there. now for leafpool well I don't want to make this comment that long but you getmthe point 😅
aaaa this is so good!!! i especially love the last ~40 seconds where you show how one by one all of her positive relationships are torn apart. the use of daytime to represent happiness and nighttime to represent sadness is very cool. such an amazing portrayal of her character, best leafpool pmv i've ever seen.
This is heart shattering in such a good way
HOW DARE YOU MAKE SOMETHING THIS GOOD AND LIKE. FEELY
ive been obsessed with this for the past couple of days, I love it so much!!!
makes me so incredibly happy to see the microphones used in warriors pmvs. you did an excellent job capturing the mood and leafpool's story, so wonderful!
I LOVE your style!!! I also adore your Leafpool design
ive been so anxious today this is like my little treat thank you
i swear i saw this before but it says only 1 month ago and i have not even been on youtube in that time, especially leafpool smiling when confronted really stuck in my mind
I love your art so much😮
I AM LOOKING DIRECTLY AT YOUR LEAFPOOLS
im so excited that pmw!! leafpool one of my soooo fav character. my bean deserves more((( that pmw so brightly show all her heart. i love scene when she hug squirrelflight comforting her. they had only they arter that history. I LIKE HOW LEAFPOOL LITERALLY SAY " HI I WANNA KILL MS " IN FRONT OF HOLLY. i love that aura over the hollyleaf like the true and shine on her side on the councils. i love scene when cinderpelt dissuades her why everyone forget that???? she literally be in rage and leafpool was attacked her why nobody dont talk about that? that way cinderpelt understooding. she open up at other way. good job bird!! 😺
Being a Warrior Cats kid and now a huge fan of The Microphones and TGP2, this is just so so good
oh this is absolutely beautiful .. I LOVE leafpool so much and you captured her story so well in this PMV
It's sooooooo good work, an artist!💕✨
god this broke me
RIO THIS IS ABSOLUTELY STUNNING 😭 a video hasn't made me this emotional in a LONG time; everything from the color palette you chose to the parallels especially at the end gave me actual chills. you're such a great artist and storyteller!
im crying,,,,,,,,,,, ;w;
i will never emotionally recover i keep rewatching this and going feral
got me crying sobbing gahdamn 😭😭
i need this pmv to blow up… this is absolutely AMAZING
i’m going to scream and cry and throw uo
I can’t stop watching this 😭🩵 it’s just so freaking good!
I commented about… 5 hours ago but I need to say that the colour palette used here is absolutely gorgeous and I can’t help but have this on loop. I’ve now even added the song on my Spotify playlist, so thank you so much for introducing me to this. Thank you so much for making it, I’ll probably play it everyday in the morning.
It is truly beautiful art.
ohh this is beautiful!!! your use of colors fits soo well with the song. i love how leafpool looks so goddamn exhausted when hollyleaf threatens to kill her. the feeling of not caring anymore if she lives or dies, because everything’s been taken from her. wonderful work :D
this is just beautiful. what a wonderful exploration of leafpool's character! & it almost made me cry, too... great work! ❤
I SAW I WANT WIND TO BLOW IN THE TITLE AND HAD TO CLICK ON THIS....genuinely this is so fucking good...leafpool honey im so sorry you were doomed from the start
This is beautiful and I adore your art style ❤
those last two shots go CRAAAAAAZYYYYYYY
Amazing. For the entire time till I saw LionBlaze, I thought LeafPool was LionBlaze
this is amazing holy shit 😭
This is really good
god this rules
THIS IS SO COOL WAAAAUGHHH
no words sobbing violently
I WAS WONDERING WHEN ID SEE THIS SONG GET USED
I was almost crying at the end 😭😭
hurst my heart ;o;
RIO WHY YOU GOTTA MAKE ME CRY AT 8 O-CLOCK IN THE MORNING /POS
heartbreaking and beautiful! i love the simplicity of the designs against the color palette, this is gorgeous and got me misty-eyed - the montage to instrumental at the end was heartbreaking, but the whole thing was so good, you portray leafpool's tragedy so well
Wow. You really took in her whole life here. The only thing I can sum up about her whole life in a sentence is this:
I wish the code had changed earlier on to let cats leave their Clan, I wish that Yellowfang didn’t become such a bitch in StarClan, I wish that Bramblestar wasn’t such a terrible guy, and I wish that Leaf didn’t have to suffer so much for feeling a feeling that everyone feels.
I never realized how strong she actually was until now.
i though jayfeather and leafpool where longtail's
So underaged!
