I think at this point it’s fair to say the dark forest has ruined ivypools life, entirely. Not only did it destroy her relationships with her friends and family when she was a kid. But it took away her own daughter. That’s really fucked up and she doesn’t deserve that.
@Coffnist_Charm No, Ivypool has two other kits, but Bristlefrost was her only daughter, her other two kits were toms (males). EDIT: OKAY SORRY I MEANT TWO DAUGTHERS AND ONE SON KSIENXPABFOSD
Loads of messed up deaths in these books, but I gotta say that Bristlefrost's is by far the worst. Sure, some got disemboweled, crushed by objects, fell to their deaths, starved, but you know what they got after all that? A second chance to meet their loved ones, or just do things they wanted to do. Bristlefrost is the only one I'm aware of that didn't get a second chance, not even a proper goodbye despite being a hero. That, is freaking messed up.
This is so beautiful and heartbreaking! I think the song fits pretty well too, Ivypool saying that Bristlefrost is "not a bad kid" who was not in the dark forest because of her own actions and did not deserve to die there. Unlike the cats that Ivypool met during her own time there :(
Poor Ivypool. She didn't deserve that much greif. The Dark Forest has definitely taken so much from her and now she's lost her own kit. I feel so bad for her. Poor Ivypool.
Now I'm sad. 🥺 I haven't really caught up with the series, but I already heard about this part in the books, and it's pretty messed up. I do like the camera panning down towards the water with the bubbles forming, reminding me how Bristlefrost died. Probably a reminder for Ivypool too. 😞
Omg I just realized that Ivy most likely *knew* what happened when Bristle disappeared suddenly- she’s been to the dark forest MANY times now- holy shit that must’ve been horrific for her. (PS: we need an IvyPool stand-alone so bad)
I love this, it potrays Ivypool's grief perfectly. Shes been through so much and bristlefrost didnt deserve to die and completely vanish. I remember reading TBC and my heart was so sad when they kept describing Ivypool's stare as empty and hollow :(
Again. It was seriously messed up of the Erins to not Only kill off Bristle, but give Ivypool such unnecessary grief. It should have been a great showdown Between Squirrelflight, Lionblaze and Shadowsight VS Ashfur. You know. The cats he caused the MOST pain too?!!
Another tally added to the list of she-cat protags either reduced to one note mothers or sacrifice deaths (With the exception of Squirrelflight who proceeded to get treated horribly by everyone around her after evading this treatment)
Aughhh, I swear I almost friggin cried. This is done so gorgeously well, and you conveyed Ivy's fear, terror, and grief so, so well.. As well as the relationship she had with her daughter. Poor Ivy, the dark forest has torn so much of her life apart
I hate the Hunters for what they did to the last parts of the books. This is how much it is necessary to torture the already unfortunate cats in order to bring even to such a fate for the child Ivypool's and to her as well?? It is very painful, I can not imagine what this unfortunate cat is now and what it will be like in the future for the rest of her life.
The dark forest first took her childhood then her daughter, I was really expecting her to come to the dark forest despite her leader’s orders and save her daughter, she knew the place well
Ok just.... wow. This is literally so heartbreaking. Think about Ivypool's life. She was manipulated by the Dark Forest as an apprentice and NEARLY KILLED THERE. Then, when she thought she finally had peace living with her mate and kits after getting over of the "loss" of Dovewing, THERE COMES ASHFUR AND BRISTLEFROST SACRIFICES HERSELF AND FADES AWAY FOREVER!!! That must've felt SO horrible. We don't really know but maybe she felt guilt about not being able to stop Bristlefrost from entering the Dark Forest and oh all the bad memories from the time of Omen of the stars that probably came into her mind... LIKE IVY'S LIFE IS SO SAD. And poor Bristlefrost she didn't deserve that AT ALL she could've had an amazing future :(
This poor baby 3: I havent actually read this part of the series yet, so spoilers are gonna hit me no matter what. But its still upsetting Ivypool out of all cats would need to deal with that sort of loss.
EXACTLY like Dark Forest has taken so much from her. First it took her childhood and she was nearly killed in there. Then, when she had a some what happy life with her mate and kits, HER DAUGHTER DIES IN THE DARK FOREST AND FADES AWAY FOREVER LIKE WHY WAS THAT NECESSARY?? Imagine how she must've felt knowing all that 😢
Why people say that this decision was a bad one baffles me. Do yall realize how... big of a change this made. We now have the fear of our main povs dying. Which is awesome. It's such a excellent choice om the Erin's part and I'm tired of people calling it sexist just it was the single female pov.
It's just SO sad.. because of this whole book, I despise Ashfur now. Ruined his whole character for me, especially figuring out that he GROOMED Shadowsight. Now, killing off Bristlefrost, Im now so upset, to the point where i dont think i can pick up another book. Like at all. The fact that Bristle didn't even go to Starclan is messed up. At least reincarnate her. Keep her in the dark forest as an evil spirit for all I care just LET. HER. HAVE. SOMETHING. She didn't have to die.. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'd rather have it be Shadowsight or Rootspring, Who, Rootspring, she could've stayed and be with him forever until one of their deaths' but it was cut short. She could've lived, it could've been someone else, anyone else! And mostly, sadly, I'd rather it be Squirrelflight. And she's one of my personal favorites, in fact, in 3rd place after Ivypool and Bristlefrost. The choice the Erins made, I'm just done. I know i should respect their book, but this is the saddest death in the books I've read EVER. Flametail, Feathertail, Leafpool, Mapleshade, Honeyfern, yeah.. But Bristle. Wow. Ivypool had a lot taken away from her when it came to the dark forest, and it also affected her health, giving her many death risks in many ways possible. Not only did it take some health away, but a lot more. That *includes* her daughter. This book broke me, and i can't stop crying. When I get a cat, if they look like Bristle, regardless of gender I'm naming them Bristlefrost in Bristle's honor.
Cats Included:
Bristlefrost: 0:06
Ivypool: 0:11
Lights in the Mist(Crowfeather, Greystripe and Mistystar) + a cameo, owned by s.hadeclaw: 0:33

not just her daughter, her only child. I'm pretty sure bristle frost didn't have any siblings.
@@CCoffnist no she has littermates

Thank you!! I instantly thought of them when I was listening to the song ;; Ivy went through too much already

It was an impulse addon! I wanted to do something sad ;; ivypool didnt deserve to lose her kit in such an awful way
Bro same in still on POT (power of three)

She’s getting a super edition! But I don’t think the plot will be about her loss, not much has been said about it, so we’ll see!
@@brutal-thrash OMG YESS
@@brutal-thrash
The blurb released and it seems to be somewhat about her loss!
Poor Ivypool, she didn't even get to say goodbye!!
THIS TURNED OUT SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!! YOU CONVEYED IVYPOOL'S HORROR AND HEARTBREAK SO FUCKING PERFECT AAAAAA!!!!!!!
THANK YOU SHADE!! That’s what I was aiming for 😭 expressions
ABSOLUTELY

Yeah the fact that she’s just gone baffles me, she had a huge chance of having a happy life with Rootspring :(
@••☆ 𝐵𝓁𝓊𝑒𝒢𝑜𝓁𝒹𝒢𝒶𝒸𝒽𝒶 ☆•• I agree!!!
Agreed ASIDE FROM the Squirrelflight thing. I don’t think she should have had to face him. At all.
Another tally added to the list of she-cat protags either reduced to one note mothers or sacrifice deaths
(With the exception of Squirrelflight who proceeded to get treated horribly by everyone around her after evading this treatment)
I actually like that Squirrelflight didnt go to the final confrontation. Ashfur doesnt deserve anything more than cold indifference from her
I wish Ivypool could just be happy :(
This is absolutely beautiful!! You did a wonderful job depicting Ivypool's grief and the ending was chilling in the best way possible
Thank you sm!! ;_;
This made me cry. It's so sad Ivypool went to sleep one night and the morning Bristlefrost was gone. Never to be seen again. Beautiful PMV btw
ohh, the shock, horror, and grief is just palpable here
This is so well made!!! And so heartbreaking, you showed Ivypool’s emotions so well UGHHHHHH
Thank you!! ;;_;;
SO UNFAIR SO UNFAIR. I MISS YOU BRISTLEFROST SO MUCH I LOVE YOU IVYPOOL IM SO SORRYRYYY IM GONAN CRY BRO STOPP

AA this is so good!!! Love your art style!
Thank you so much! It means a lot ;;w;;
I'm really scared that they're gonna kill off Ivypool in Ivypool's heart.
I HOPE NOT!!!
Let's hope it doesn't come to that

MAN THIS MADE ME CRY
this is great, i love this ivypool design!
Thank you! It’s a super old design that I’ve carried over through the years

Wonderful video. Ivypool’s grief is shown so well :[
This is so good omg!!! I love your art style, the animation is so impressive too, wonderful job!!
I'M NOT CRYING. I'M NOT CRYING.
I'M SOBBING. THIS IS BEAUTIFUL. AHGGFD, I MISS BRISTLEFROST SM!!!:(
My next project will be more ambitious!!
The improvement is amazin and poor Ivypool :(
this is terrible in the best way. the way you animated bristlefrost suddenly disappearing and ivypool yowling in anguish... it's so good. it hurts
Very very well made!!
I LOVE HAYLOFT II VIBESS
Not caught up with the series at all, but I read the wiki page for bristlefrost and holy shit that’s so depressing???? Poor ivy.
I'm crying RN :(

I hosted a map about them, would you like to join?
Unfortunately I work a lot, so can’t ;;
well this fucked me up (in a good way) wait that counfusing
I can’t remember; was Ivy Bristle’s mother, or mentor?
Mother!
This map is sad
