READ PINNED COMMENT


This MAP Is about Mapleshade telling her story, aka "Mapleshade's Vengeance", to Crookedstar. She paints herself as nothing but an unfortunate victim and her murders as more than justified revenge, but, as the spirits say, that's not how the story goes. Mapleshade is slowly shown to be the least innocent out of everyone, even before she went on a murder spree, she lied to a grieving family and never cared even once that her clan had the right to be angry at her for lying in general, not even apologize for it once. She goes on to accidentally kill her kits and then KILL cats who barely had anything to do with it, even attempting to murder a pregnant cat who's never met her kits alive, then goes as far as swearing torture on Appledusk's innocent kin. Mapleshade went through horrible things, but even if you suffer greatly, at the end of the day it’s your choice to be a good person or not and Mapleshade proved to never have been one. Crookedstar lost everything, just as she did, but instead of starting a murder spree he dealt with his problems constructively. Mapleshade is not a tragic cat who was turned evil by some awful, disgusting actions of others, she /chose/ to be evil and no amount of her sad backstory will ever make her truly sympathetic. At the end, Crookedstar finally fully abandons Mapleshade after being abused by her for so long and goes on to wonder how the cats she killed so many moons ago are doing now.

Deepest apologies for this taking. so fucking long, i don't know what happened but i can only assume god hates us because the massive fucking struggle we went through to EXPORT the damn credits is unbELIEVABLE. Literally got the whole ass map delayed by a full day, but i refuse to keep this map uncompleted even further to fit my upload schedule so i'm just breaking it and posting this on Saturday lol
