COLD BLUE | Complete Bluestar & Mapleshade AU Map – A Year and a Half of Dedication! 🎨

WOA it’s FINISHED after a year and a half of hard work!
This has been the biggest project I ever had to manage so far in my entire life. From writing the ideas down, to the storyboard, the designs, writing the script, keeping track of every participant, doing my own parts, editing the full map… and much much more, this has been a wild ride
But I couldn’t be more proud of the final outcome and all the wonderful participants to help me bring this MAP to life. So a big THANK YOU to everyone, from the one just commenting on the original MAP call to every single animator, thumbnail contestant, backups, helpers…
And especialy a big thanks to Izumations who helped me co-host the map when it was difficult for me to keep track of everything! It has been a huge help when I needed it the most.
Do not expect a big map like this anytime soon, it was a LOT of work on my free time and for now I deserve some rest

Be sure to check the google sheet page with all the participants credits: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/17p0VOt0Kw2Gkk1-IzDZzoDmL2I-fOnbpOG4pSNcuc7I/edit?usp=sharing
They all did a wonderful job, and the list is too long to list everyone here; it’s all thanks to them this project is alive today.

For some reasons the credit sequence has some weird glitches at some moments?? But I couldn't fix it so we will have to deal with it :((

About the AU:
This AU explores the idea of Bluestar being manipulated by Mapleshade instead of Crookedstar. That’s why Bluestar is with Crookedstar, to make a direct link with the canon books. In this AU, Oakheart, Tigerstar and Fireheart don’t exist, and Mapleshade replaces most of Tigerstar’s original actions in the canon books.
That’s why Bluestar end up not believing in StarClan, since she was so sure that Mapleshade was from StarClan while she actually lied about that for most of Bluestar’s life.
And since Bluestar’s kits are from Appledusk’s family tree, Mapleshade wants to get a revenge on them and Bluestar.
There’s a lot to talk about in this AU, so i’m letting you discuss it in the comment section below! I had a lot of interesting comments already on the MAP Call so I’m really curious about all your theories and explanations here. If anything feels unclear, feel free to ask!
And about the question: Does Bluestar go in StarClan or in the Dark Forest afterwards? I still have no answers; this is also something to you, viewer, make your own theories about.
