DIE YOUNG - Needletail AMV (cw: pink blood, canon-typical violence/death)
CW: pink blood, canon-typical violence and death
_“All this that’s happening to me… it’s not your fault, Violetpaw. All the mistakes we made were mine.”_ —Needletail in Shattered Sky ()
I’m so glad to finally see this amv finished YAY I hope yall like it!! C: it took so fuckin long!!! Started this over a year ago (like spring of 2023?) n I was like hm why is this taking forever to finish, this video that is 5 minutes long and is fully coloured with backgrounds while I also got work n school. weird. afksdajlgh
Honestly I have very little memory of AVOS so I re-read it just for this video haha; and despite the typical warrior cats subpar writing lol I ended up quite enjoying needletail’s character arc! A lot of purely selfish choices with some dire consequences (often only for others), until she finally makes the choice to ensure Violetpaw’s safety over her own.
(cough spoilers for the amv:) Near the end i also added some slightly headcanon-y stuff extrapolating from Needletail’s time with the Riverclan prisoners hehe.. I think she did a lot of reflecting and regret when she saw how well they cared for each other; especially after they’d extend their compassion to her, one of Darktail’s Kin who helped drive out their clan, despite their imprisonment and hunger. Yea i think needle and reedwhisker ended up bein friends :) trauma bonded in the prison mayhaps lmao
(also apparently Rain’s eyes are green and I only realized literally at the very end when the whole damn amv was done already!!! augh!! orz Come onn he looks wayy better with blue eyes right guys. right)
