Touch Tone Telephone - Mapleshade Animatic

so, the plot of this is sort of related to my "Heartless" MAP- its the same character, anyway, the Judge/Silverpelt, who is a personification of Starclan, passing judgement on the dead. In Heartless, the Judge asks Appledusk to explain himself and his actions, and he tells the Judge about how he was treated by a cruel, heartless woman, how everything is her fault and he did absolutely nothing wrong, and because he refuses to take any responsibility for the things hes done, he is denied entry to Starclan.

HERE, the Judge approaches Mapleshade and speaks to her, asking her to justify her actions. Explain herself. However, she doesn't- this isn't a "mapleshade did nothing wrong" video, this isn't mapleshade saying "they deserved to die" its not about her crimes at all. It's her saying "Justify myself? to YOU? what right do you have to judge me now? I prayed to starclan and believed in you and you gave me nothing, you have no right to judge me now." In Mapleshade's Vengeance, before Mapleshade becomes a killer, she is naive, VERY naive, and she says over and over and over again that she believes that if she was doing something wrong Starclan would send her a sign. But Starclan did not interfere when she was in a relationship with a Riverclan cat, they did not interfere when she discovered she was pregnant, they did not interfere when Frecklewish assumed Birchface was the father, and they certainly didn't interfere when Oakstar banished three two month old kits who had done nothing wrong into a stormy night. No, Starclan waited until a stormy night when the river would flood to send Ravenwing a sign that her children did not belong in Thunderclan. Ultimately, whatever Mapleshade did, whatever her crimes, she believed Starclan would guide her pawsteps and help her make the right decisions, and they did not. She was failed by Starclan utterly, so here when Starclan demands her justify herself, she refuses and instead judges them, and judges them guilty for allowing what happened to happen. Ultimately, her hatred and her righteous fury bear forth the dark forest, creating a place made of anger that a starclan cat cannot go. At the end we see the rest of Starclan gazing on in anger, having learned nothing, while the Judge hangs their head in shame. Perhaps this is why in the future, Starclan interferes more in protecting half clan kits.

Anyway I hope you enjoyed!!! I'm REALLY proud of this and I think it came out beautifully!!
