Future Me Hates Me - Leafpool PMV

Leafpool PMV! It's short, but I wanted to try and explore the sense of regret to her character- that moment of naive idealism when she chose to run off with Crowfeather, and the years of cold, unwarranted cruelty from Starclan for years afterwards. Nothing goes right in Leafpool's life, and it all hinges on one stupid mistake she made in her young adulthood (that was secretly orchestrated by god in the first place- leafpool blames herself, anyways). It's... pretty depressing!
anyways don't let its length deceive you this pmv was difficult to finish lmao. Don't get me wrong, I did have fun and I'm really proud of how it turned out but MAN i had to redraw a bunch of these shots, and about a week ago the computer I drew this on actually died and an IT guy had to pull these files from the ravaged corpse of my 15 year old computer. thank u stuart.

this is so good and so sad. i love the way you used the scene with hollyleaf at the end as a way to show all the important cats in her life that she feels she let down, then showing her own self... heartbroken for this poor cat 😭 excellent work!

OH MY GODDDD LEAFPOOL BEST CHARACTER EVER- this is genuinely SUCH a gorgeous pmv, i love how it shows all the future troubles she faces alongside the cats she cares SO deeply for- BEAUTIFUL

[@sailorr]

UGH THIS IS SO GOOD. the sharp contrast between the moments with crowfeather and everything that follows IS AWESOME. the last scene where shes face to face with herself... SO GOOD!!

[@bambootriangle]

I wonder if she'd been happier if she managed to run away, live somewhere far away from it all.... Her children free from prophecy

[@alejandrogarciarivera9121]

That's something that everyone want for leafpool. A place for her where she is happy with her mate and Kits, away from the clans

[@kyliesmith2004]

I kin Leafpool because I too am an emotionally unstable, chubby bisexual with brown hair and depression who needs to stop falling for skinny running boys who don't love me.

[@axelf9947]

HELP THIS IS 8 MONTHS OLD AND IM RLLY SORRY FOR YOU BUT I LAUGHED OUT LOUD 😭

[@sofiyaradlovskaya8001]

This is so sad, I feel incredibly sorry for Leafpool and will never forgive StarClan for what they did towards her. I also see her as chubby tbh :)
