Today I randomly remembered a YouTube video, a video SO GOOD that I used to play it over and over again and think about before I went to sleep, while I was at school, I was obsessed with this video.
That video was this Ready As I'll Ever Be Warriors MAP:
A magnificent video. It was just as good as I remember, in every way. I'm still in awe that people can coordinate these multi-animator projects; and it was so prevalent in the Warriors fandom. Are there any fandoms now with such a great focus on collaboration? I'm kinda out of the loop.
Watching this MAP again made me realise, it's curious just how little I can remember about the story of Warriors. Is my memory really that bad??? I'm not even that old, it's barely 6 or 7 (haha) years since I was a Warrior Cat kid. I recognise some of the characters, like Ivypool and Dovewing and Lionheart, but I was completely lost on Breezepelt... I thought he was Crowfeather at first, but then I realised Crowfeather was before the Dark Forest arc. I don't even remember what I loved so much about Warriors, or who my favourite character was. I think I liked Cinderpelt???
Certainly not the best book series in the world, but it captured my brain, my heart and my creativity just like it did for so many other kids and teens... It also kept me reading through that awkward period of growing up where you stop liking kid things and start liking teenage things, and it feels like nothing is made for you anymore. Thank you Erin Hunter(s).
