〖 Goodbye 〗》Squirrelflight《

!! MAJOR SPOILERS, both in video and desc !!

Also!!!! About me changing my channel, that is no longer true, I'm back here again lol

GOD I love Squirrelflight. Anyways have this short lil animatic I made :-)))

If you're confused, here's an explanation. This animatic is jumping between times a lot so I get it's not completely comprehensive lol

(DON'T take a shot every time I say Squilf you will DIE)

Basically:

Starts with Squilf who just found out/realised Leaf was staying behind, left in Starclan while she herself was to live on. They hug and say goodbye and we see a brief flashback of Squirrelpaw just about to start her journey, excited, with a less-excited Leafpaw staying in Thunderclan (which mirrors pretty well with what's happening "now", because Leaf is once more staying while Squilf is leaving lol). They say their final goodbyes and Squilf wakes back up and re-enters the living world, where she's alone and injured while Leafpool is, as you might have guessed, dead.

Squilf screams at the sky (taking no special place in the timeline lol, idk when that happens or if she just imagines screaming at the sky) and we see flashbacks of her raising Lion, Jay, Holly and then Alder and Spark.

A bit later on (but we're still in a flashback so to speak) she's looking out over the clan when "Bramblestar" throws her down from the high ledge before she's exiled.

Flash back in time again, we see the fire scene where Squilf reveals the three are adopted. After this, her kits reject her. She takes comfort from Leafpool, then later finds Ashfur dead. Holly reveals the secret at the gathering and runs away but is "killed" by a rock-fall in the tunnels. Bramblestar yells at Squilf for keeping the secret from him.

Two very short flashbacks of 1, Squilf standing up for Moonlight to Bramblestar and 2, the rockslide about to fall on Leaf and Squilf.

Back in Starclan, Squilf is "judged" by the Starclan cats as she walks through them. She finds Leafpool yelling at one of them because.... they encouraged her to "follow her heart" and now they're having a fucking trial.... that's not cool lol, but anyways her screaming is interrupted as they see Squilf. The Starclan cat reveals one of them can live but the other can't, and while Squilf if horrified, Leaf immediately resigns to her fate because she's willing to die for her sister - Squirrelflight has already done so much for her, it's her turn to return the favour.

Flash through the entire animatic so far (would have rearranged so everything was in chronological order but I'm too lazy lol) before pausing at the two of them hugging as they say goodbye and yada yada Squilf waking up, Leaf is dead. Last frame is Squirrelflight being found by the other cats, the ones shown being Jayfeather and Alderheart.

I animate/draw using procreate and edit using final cut pro. My frame rate is 6 or 12, but I tend to speed it up in editing.
