Alternate version: • BURN - Sandstorm PMV (...
This is probably my most elaborate ROAST
I'm excited to share this finished project. I'm sorry for any inconsistencies, I worked on this project both drunk and crying. A heartfelt thank you to my friend @Demim0n for her support and contribution to coloring some frames.
This video serves as an emotional outlet for me, created in response to recent distressing events in my life. While I'll leave much of its interpretation to you (Yeah bruh I got cheated on lmfao), it does revolve around themes of infidelity and includes layers of symbolism for you to unravel. For example: I dare you to find out what the daisies represent.
I believe Sandstorm deserves better. It's disheartening to see Spottedleaf receiving blame while the fandom absolves Firestar of his actions. In this narrative, Cinderpelt and Spottedleaf stand by Sandstorm's side, confronting Firestar's inappropriate behavior. Other important women in his life also confront him because, let's face it, we need more accountability for male characters in this series.
Here is what this video means to me and might mean something else too:
-Daisies: a symbol of true love and loyalty (also my name on youtube hahah my self insert here are the flowers and the fire)
-Spottedleaf, Cinderpelt, Sandstorm: a symbol of youth, friendship and love. In this order.
-Firestar: the villain (and my ex hmmmmm)
-Yellowfang, Princess, Bluestar and Silverstream: important women in Firestar's life. They are all dead hence why they show up with Spottedleaf. They all represent responsability, family, motherhood and femininity.
For most of the video, Firestar tries to run away and deflect blame to others, but to no avail. He's avoiding confrotration and he doesn't want to lose neither his lover or his mistress. Towards the end he finally realizes what he has done when he sees his daughters and accepts that he made an unforgivable mistake.
***Explaining the scenes with Spottedleaf: Firestar keeps trying to win Spottedleaf over. She is unconfortable by it and tries to talk him into giving his mate more attention. She promises to be a friend and to look after his family but he won't stop simping. Despite having feelings for him, Spottedleaf confronts Firestar about his infidelity and stays by Sandstorm's side, being honest with her. So yeah, she is not willing to be the "other girl" and she's not a creep. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions but please stop attacking her in this video since she is my comfort character. This is MY interpretation of her from the books. (Honestly after all that i read Idk what to feel about her anymore)
About Cinderpelt: Yeah she has feelings for Firestar too and that's canon, but what I wanted to portray here was him losing the closest friend he has.
Consider this video as a sequel to my previous work, "Glimpse of Us": • Glimpse of Us - Firest...
For a deeper understanding of Spottedleaf's feelings, I recommend checking out Moonkitti's video: • Spottedleaf's feelings...
I'm currently going through a tough time, so I won't delve into all the details right now. However, I may keep updating this description. I kindly ask that you respect that, despite the sensitive subjects, this video is ultimately a vent for my emotions. Please refrain from arguing in the comments section. Thank you for reading until here.

    I finally worked the courage to comment on here. the fact is that this video hit pretty close to home. I know we are all supposed to relate to the protagonist, but I can't say that I haven't lived in this exact situation. Sandstorm might be the one burning their memories, their relationship, but Firestar is the one that set fire to her soul, to her heart. If you watch closely, you'll see that he doesn't utter a single word in the video. There are some mistakes you literally can't talk yourself out of it. You can't charm them to stay. Even if you do so, you can not simply glue back the pieces together and hope that the person is going to be the same again. I had this girl, and she had me, and together we had the world, that until I f* up. She was my everything, my first love, and I know I meant the world to her too, I saw the way she kept every gift and note, and the way she looked at me. I also saw the tears she shed, the pain I inflicted on her. I shouldn't have dreamt of another soul that wasn't her, but I did, and she swept me off my feet. I know the world was against us from the beginning, but at some point, I know I was the bigger issue. Historians might not know how Elisa reacted, but thanks to you, Marquarida, I'm pretty sure how she did, how my once girl did. Very few people have the talent, and even fewer have the dedication to translate what someone in that position felt. Even though they are cats, I could see the despair of a lost soul on sandstorm's eyes, a kind of pain that I've only ever seen on the prettiest pair of eyes I've ever came across. I wish I could look into them and beg her to forgive me, maybe I can. I just want to tank you, bc you are a rare kind of person, the kind that's strong enough to be venerable, to feel, and to create.

    I love how spottedleaf seems uncomfortable through the whole thing, like she didn't want to be "the other girl" but was somehow convinced to- and then come clean revealing it to sandstorm at the "He's part of some scheme" part. It really deepens on how Firestar held the most responsability about it

    @littlelemon3465

    I never got why it was presented to be a hard choice for Firestar to pick between Spottedleaf, his old childhood crush and Sandstorm, his mate and the mother of his children

    @Bubblewubble956

    I like how Bluestar, Spottedleaf and Cinderpelt all look....so angered, THEY know how it feels,They know that Frestar is NOT a good mate.Yellowfang and Raggedstar. Bluefur and Oakheart. Spottedpaw and Thistleclaw.

    Daisies are usually a sign of love, but they also stand for the topic of beauty and remaining loyal, which is somewhat ironic due to Firestar’s actions. It seems like he was searching for just a pretty she cat to be at his side, and Cinderpelt destroying those flowers and catching aflame could symbolize that his love truly meant nothing. And that Sandstorm is much stronger without him

    I love how you allowed Cinder and Spotted to be attracted to him but still standing by Sandstorm. It's one thing to have feelings for a person and it's another to cheat. Consent and honesty among all parties is what's key, if your monogamous then stay loyal or break it off, if poly make sure all parties are aware and consent. No matter what you should never betray a partner.

    Unexpectedlg, my favorite part was at the end when legacy comes up in the lyrics. Adding all these she-cats from the days of Fireheart (so before he became leader) telling him that his legacy isnt theirs is something I feel is so impactful, especially seeing ThunderClan today. The way they handle Firestar's Legacy is nearly equivalent to revearing him like a god, and [SPOILER WARNING FOR LATEST ARC] I stand by Nightheart in that these cats are more than just Firestar's kin/legacy

    I love Sandstorm so much I feel like she doesn’t get much love or is easily forgotten. This was beautifully made I hope more Sandstorm PMVs/MAPs get made of her ❤

    I think it's worth mentioning that spottedleaf groomed firepaw even after she died

  • @FlowerGriffon
    @FlowerGriffon

    It's so fucked that Spottedleaf has to die twice because Firestar was about to chose her over his literal wife and childhood friend in StarClan. Firestar wanting to be Spottedleaf while also be in a relationship with Sandstorm always made me so uncomfortable. Also I appreciate how you showed Spottedleaf being uncomfortable with Firestar constantly thinking of her.

    This is unironically the most beautiful thing I’ve see all week. I love the characters expressions, you can see every single emotion in their faces and body language.

    Honestly, it always made me comfortable that Firestar still had feelings for Spottedleaf even though she was dead, she had a father and daughters. I love that Spottedleaf is by Sandstorm's side. I also loved it when I saw that Leafpaw/pool and Squirrelpaw/flight support their mother, they deserve a better father in my opinion and Sandstorm a better couple.
