I changed the thumbnail to make it fit the color-scheme better, hope that's okay with everyone! <3

first time i watched this i was 10, i cried and then downloaded the music onto my phone via loud headphones and voice memo. im now 16 and crying just as hard. genuinely such an amazing MAP

whatever your like ends in, is the warrior you are.

the fact that SwiftPaw tried to use the move LongTail taught him against the dogs broke me heart along side with LongTail visiting his apprentice’s grave

I genuinely believe Swiftpaw deserves to be reincarnated more than any cat in this series- it was simply clan drama that prevented him from truly being noticed, and he died in a heroic way since he showed everyone the danger of the creatures. I think he deserves a second chance, and this MAP really shows that.

A Dangerous Path was the most depressing book I read outside of high school

Wow, Swiftpaw isn’t ready, but breezepelt is ready as he’ll ever be

When Swiftpaw became an apprentice, his mentor Longtail taught him a move.

did anyone notice how Swiftpaw tried to use the same backfeet technique Longtail taught him on the dogs? did anyone else cry when they noticed this too??? ;;;

I’m sad Swiftpaw didn’t make it, if he did I wanted him to be named Swiftclaw, for avoiding the dogs and telling the clan about their danger.

God the last scene where Swiftpaw’s spirit is hovered over Brightpaw’s injured body made me cry so much, the way he looked away from Fireheart taking blame for Brightpaw’s injury…god my heart broke for Swiftpaw, he deserved so much better with his life.

I hate how Swiftpaw was made an apprentice even before Brackenfur and Cinderpelt, and Graystripe was hardly ever around to take care of his own apprentice. Longtail on the other hand seemed like a very good and smart cat to mentor Swiftpaw. I’m actually really tired of people who say they hate Swiftpaw because he went to find the dogs out of selfishness, which I really don’t see it that way. Swiftpaw had hardly been mentioned at all for the entire arc, and if you ignore the fact that he died, he did his Clan a favor by showing the danger of the creatures at Sunningrocks. It was Bluestar’s fault he never got to become a warrior, a bit of Fireheart's too, but n0p3. This MAP beautifully shows Swiftpaw’s struggles of trying to be noticed and to be a true member of ThunderClan. The artists portrayed the scenes perfectly, this is definitely one of my favorite projects I’ve ever seen, and I’m so happy it was finished so soon. Amazing job you guys!! <33333

The story of swift paw is absolutely heart wrenching, but honestly all he wanted was to prove himself, to show that he was worth of becoming a thunderclan warrior. I honestly think that its kind of sad to see that Erin didn't have swiftpaws death affect the plot, I wanted to see longtail mourning alongside fire heart with no words to say only grief for the loss of the apprentice. I want to see bluestar feeling guilt for not giving him his name. I want to see brightheart crying out his name in her sleep, while cloud tail murmurers soft words of comfort to her. I want to see some swiftpaw affected moments in the books. And most of all I want to see a scene where both brightheart and swiftpaw reuniting in starclan with apologies from swiftpaw and a lick on the ear from brightheart telling him its alright. But sadly that wasn't what we got, and i'm sad because of it.

When swifpaws spirit left Brightpaw, I cried. No joke. I cried

His expression and tears at the end, I can practically hear him dripping with guilt and misery, weakly muttering "All I wanted was to be a warrior..." as he lies on top of his friend's dying body.

5:16 This... this scene really got me. You can see the real regret and sadness in Swiftpaw’s expression as he realizes that he was the one who led this to happen to Brightpaw. He really loved her
