She Wants Me (to be loved) - Thrushpelt AMV

((Flashing lights warning at 0:56))

“Not all men—“ you're right, Thrushpelt Warrior Cats would never

I wish the books had given us more thrush and blue being friends!!! Good friends!!! Best friends!!! Loved and cared for her and her kits and she loved him!! Not in the way he initially hoped for but it’s still love!! So here’s a video for our good boy thrushpelt right on time for valentines day 💕

I tried a lineless semi-limited animation/pmv vibe+ a focus on colours, which was really fun to work on!! I feel like the animation gets a lil weird lookin at times but i’ll live with it fkjdslh
working in a lineless style is interesting; i didn’t exactly find it more difficult (in a lot of ways it actually went faster than colour+lineart), but it was p different n fun

lil summary/clarification for u:
0:03 thrushpelt, rosetail, bluefur hang out. Rosetail teases thrushpelt about his crush and bluefur is oblivious
0:19 blue n thrush bein good friends…..best friends..
0:22 kinda a representation of bluefur passing by Thunderclan cats that she could have taken for a mate, but she instead chooses to be with oakheart from riverclan. Thrushpelt is bummed (since this scene is more symbolic, i dont think thrushpelt actually knows who bluefur is mates with, all he knows is that it’s not him)
0:26 more best friend vibes
0:34 rosetail teases bluefur abt thrushpelt’s obvious crush on her. Blue feels embarrassed and a lil guilty
0:42 blue and thrush are on a nice walk! But blue is too wrapped up in her own thoughts between oakheart and thistleclaw and starclan’s prophecy on her shoulders… goosefeather gazes at her knowingly. Thrushpelt knows /something/ is up but what can he do? :( worried lad
0:58 blue tells thrush abt her kits she had with an unknown father. Thrushpelt offers to be a foster father if that would make it easier for her, the kits, and the clan to believe he was the father. Blue feels grateful but guilty abt not bein able to tell him the truth and sad that oak cant raise the kits with her
1:14 fun times with the kits!!
1:22 lil timeskip to leafbare, thrushpelt settles to sleep in the warriors den (bluefur’s anxiety goes unnoticed…)
1:29 dream sequence time ! thrushpelt dreams of some alternate reality where bluefur does reciprocate his feelings for her. They raise the kits as their biological parents (heyhey fun detail!! All of the features the kits inherited from oakheart are replaced with features that thrushpelt has 👀👀)
1:44 The dream takes on a colder tone. Bluefur takes no time to spend with thrushpelt, and thrushpelt cries out his heartbreak
1:50 Thrushpelt wakes, feeling guilty about his dream-outburst and does his best to shake it off. Meanwhile, something’s happened with bluefur….... Oblivious, thrushpelt settles his emotions and reminds himself that bein her friend is vv lovely and goes to bring her and the kits some freshkill
2:09 but when he arrives at the nursery all he finds is a heartbroken bluefur, no kits, and a hole torn through the nursery wall as if a fox had broken in during the night.
2:15 thunderclan searches for the kits, but to no avail. Bluefur has been very quiet the whole time and at last breaks down by thrushpelt’s side. Only she knows where she took her two surviving kits last night; to oakheart in riverclan.
2:28 not too long after, blue is named as deputy. Thistleclaw seethes with anger
2:32 time skip to when bluestar is the new leader of thunderclan! Thrushpelt is v proud of her !! but despite her new role in the clan she’s still good friends with thrushpelt !!!
Outro shows blue grieving over thrush’s death, thrushpelt meeting mosskit in starclan and having all of blue’s secrets revealed to him, thrush and moss takin a lil daytrip to visit her siblings in riverclan, (lil headcanon time) thrush leading mistyfoot and stonefur to save bluestar while oakheart urges her to keep swimming, and thrushpelt/rest of bluestar’s loved ones greeting her in starclan
