As someone who has been on cheetehZ projects I completely agree with that Anon. People are allowed to like the MAPs and participating in them I don’t care but I’m shocked how more people don’t take issue with this. Especially since cheetah is now asking for donations just for map lore information (with a large following of children too). Not even art commissions. Everyone in the server is pretty much working for him. You can say it’s volunteer based as much as you want but it doesn’t address the social pressures people feel to keep up with something that’ll get you clout.
I’ve hosted maps in the past, and have noticed how the “CCU” has starved the MAP ecosystem. It was a community where you join maps and then create your own map and then in turn those people that made the projects you joined would join your projects. Instead everything revolves around how cheetah runs his maps. When people who join your maps are also in a cheetah map it wont matter when your deadline is, the cheetah project always gets priority. Everyone is always working on something in the cheetah server that nobody has time to work on anything else. It’s really rough when you are trying to get your own project done and backups are silent. That or your participants are ghosting you while being active in the cheetah server after multiple announcements.
Cheetah projects are essentially made by other people at this point for his gain. All cheetah is now is the guy with ideas. Everyone else is working for him and making set designs, storyboards, character designs, props, call art, thumbnails etc. Hollyfawn wasn’t even fully scripted! It’s quite literally a studio. Which wouldn’t be a problem if people were compensated for their time. A finished MAP in the past was that compensation but for huge projects like these that have a whole pre production stage it’s insane that a single person has hundreds of people literally working for him like this. And if someone drops there’s always someone to pick up you are literally just a worker. It just doesn’t feel right.
If you have a part that’s not a huge story beat you just don’t matter, you get the project finished but all these maps rely on the huge dramatic parts with insane animation. That’s how they get the excitement up and views in. And these parts are usually given infinite amount of time to finish without collaborating as well. I don’t have any issue with people who do use their talents to make some great parts my issue is just with cheetah and the rest of the council. How things are ran and how so many small things contribute to a greater issue here of circling people around you for your own gain just because people also like your stories doesn’t make it less insane. MAPs work as a small group project. Not as a studio. If this is how you run things it should be promoted more as something like warrior cats animated or something similar. Because now everyone is trying to follow the cheetah model and it just does not work.
This hardly scratches the surface. People can do as they please but we can’t pretend like it isn’t suffocating the rest of the community.
i also think the fandom underplays how dovewing and bumblestripe’s relationship has… always been kind of bad. like people only ever bring up the funeral scene but their entire relationship is founded on dovewing being harassed and harangued by clanmates into choosing a thunderclan mate, bumblestripe specifically because he likes her and is therefore entitled to her attention and commitment
bumblestripe: sorry for snapping
dovewing: it’s ok it was my fault
*the very next scene*
dovewing: sorry for snapping
bumblestripe: you’re such a bitch you’re so mean to me and you’re not even going to reward me with a relationship for my chivalrous efforts!! how could you!!

I feel like a Shellfur novella/graphic novel would be neat in order to explore his conservative upbringing and how his brother’s rebellious actions and falling in love with Fernstripe probably caused him to re-evaluate the views he had been brought up with. It also wouldn’t hurt to get to know his sisters better, they’ve barely done anything so far.

I once asked the following question on BlogClan:
Leafpool is getting plumper, avoiding others, and possibly having changes in her eating habits and/or smelling odd. She and Squirrelflight go on a journey outside the territories for a couple of weeks to look for a herb that StarClan supposedly sent her a vision about. They come back a couple of weeks later with three kits who do not look a thing like Brambleclaw or Squirrelflight.
But! Lionblaze and Jayfeather are both tabbies like Leafpool. Lionblaze has amber eyes like Leafpool. Hollyleaf had black fur, just a little darker than Crowfeather-Leafpool says straight out that she’s the image of Crowfeather, and even wanted to name her after him until Squirrelflight talked her out of it-and incidentally if they’re doing this whole charade to hide whose kits they really are, was she seriously planning on naming her Crowkit? But anyway-and Jayfeather has gray fur, a little lighter than Crowfeather’s, and blue eyes, like Crowfeather’s.
Nobody had known that Squirrelflight was expecting kits. Not even Brambleclaw or Sandstorm. Squirrelflight certainly hadn’t looked like she was expecting kits. And yet she went on a journey while expecting! This was explained away as the kits being born very early. But even Brambleclaw didn’t know?
Squirrelflight had no milk, necessitating the kits being nursed by Ferncloud-what did she tell the Clan they had done for the past couple of weeks while they were in the woods? And she recovered from the birth extremely quickly. And they didn’t come back with that herb either!
ThunderClan isn’t that obtuse. How in the name of StarClan did nobody realize anything?
The answer I got was “plot convenience.”

Apprentice Games
Apprentice games are exactly that — apprentice games. They’re kept within the confines of the apprentices’ den, with threats of pranks and assessments gone wrong for anyone who breaches the unspoken rules of the den — if you tattle, you suffer the consequences.
Hollypaw shifts uneasily near the entrance to the den. She’d set her nest up there (instead of farther in, where there was more warmth) out of some need to be the first apprentice up, the first one working. Berrypaw could puke just looking at her nest, positioned so eagerly for work. And to impress the Clan, as if she needed to impress anyone.
Berrypaw levels a stare at the younger apprentice, and with a grimace, Hollypaw’s restless movements cease.
“Okay,” Berrypaw says, lashing his stub of a tail, “you all know why we’re here.”
“No we don’t,” Cinderpaw says, her voice threaded with suffering. “And I’m still not sure who put you in charge.”
“I’m the oldest apprentice,” Berrynose sniffs.
“Technically I am,” Hazelpaw counters, but she doesn’t get up from where she’s rolled on top of Poppypaw, pinning her into her nest.
“I didn’t agree to any of this,” Poppypaw manages, even as she’s crushed.
“You agreed to this when you signed up to be an apprentice,” Berrynose sniffs, hitting his sister over the head with a sheathed paw.
“Technically,” Jaypaw says dully, “the only one of us who signed up to be an apprentice was me.”
“And we’re all glad you’re here!” Poppypaw says, her voice surprisingly chipper for someone who has half of Hazelpaw resting on her back. The other half has migrated to Honeypaw, who looks more amused than anything.
“Anyway,” Berrypaw says, irritation sparking in his limbs, “we’re here to discuss our crushes. Our RiverClan crushes.”
“RiverClan?” Hollypaw squeaks.
“Oh, don’t be so sanctimonious,” Mousepaw grouches. “Everyone has a RiverClan crush. It’s practically a rite of passage.”
Hollypaw still looks deeply offended. “Oh yeah?” she challenges. “Then who’s yours?”
“Minnowpaw,” Mousepaw says, as if this should be obvious. And it should — StarClan knows that Mousepaw has been hanging off of Minnowpaw’s every word at every Gathering since they were apprenticed.
Hollypaw looks appalled. Honeypaw sighs. “You have a crush on Willowpaw,” she informs the black she-cat. “Me next. Pouncepaw.”
“Pouncepaw?” Lionpaw pipes up, his voice high and reedy. “Him? Of all cats?”
Honeypaw eyes him. “I don’t see you doing better,” she says sourly. “Besides,” she says, looking toward her sister.
“Also Pouncepaw,” Poppypaw affirms.
“You’re both crazy,” Cinderpaw says. “Dapplepaw for sure. She’s got such pretty fur.”
“You’re only saying that because you like looking at yourself in puddles,” Mousepaw argues. “Minnowpaw is clearly superior!”
Hollypaw groans.

I wondered when I would get an ask about this
Yeah lol
Do you ever think about Bramble meeting his half-siblings before they join Riverclan?
Like Tadpole in the manga was very curious and energetic, I would not put it past him to sneak around just to explore while Sasha is off hunting, and maybe he just accidentally comes near Thunderclan border (idk how is that possible geography-wise, but hey it’s an AU anyway. Maybe he went along the twoleg place or smth, bare with me), and Bramblepaw (I think he should roughly an older apprentice at this point, who is already allowed to hunt on his own) is hunting or smth, and he is just like “wtf?? a kit alone?? where’s your mom?”
They chat a little, Tadpole telling this menacing-looking, but nice stranger about his mom and siblings, and how he just was looking around but got lost a bit and got too far, and Bramble, being the 1st series sweetie he used to be back then, listens and sorta befriends the rogue kit, telling him a bit about clan life as well. He then takes Tadpole home, since he can’t let a kit wander around without any adults.
Hawk and Moth are a bit intimidated at first, but soon adopt Tadpole’s excitement, and collectively bother Bramblepaw to play with them and maybe teach them some cool fighting and hunting moves. He only manages to get away, when Sasha returns. She is shocked to hear what happened and Tadpole gets a good scolding.
Bramblepaw and Sasha talk a bit. She does not tell him anything about her connection to Tigerstar (she of course quickly puts two and two together and guesses that the future warrior and her ex-mate are certainly related), just thanks him for watching over the kits and taking Tadpole back home. They part on good terms.
He briefly mentions that Firestar would not turn down a nursing queen in time of need, but Sasha firmly refuses. She does not explain why.
Later Bramble is unable to get the kits out of his head, Hawk obviously reminds him of himself and maybe even his father. He visits again, just to check if they are okay, and this time actually teaches the kits some moves like they wanted. This continues for some time. They are like little siblings to him at this point, and he loves this. Brablepaw misses Tawnypaw and sometimes wishes they had more time together, and while his time with rogue kits is not the same, he enjoys and treasures it.
He tries very hard to fit these visits in his busy clan schedule and feels conflicted if he should do this, but is unable to give up his new friendship.
He wonders if maybe he can make Sasha change her mind. Maybe he can even help with Hawk’s,Tadpole’s and Moth’s training if they join Thunderclan, he fantasizes. He knows that he is too young for an apprentice, even if his warrior ceremony is fast approaching, but it’s nice to dream.
Then he comes to rogues’ den one day, but there are no kits, only terrified Sasha. They search together (and he is quite impressed to see Sasha intimidate Bloodclan), and come just in time to find the trio trying to get of the flooded building.
Luckily for everyone, Bramblepaw is large enough to barely reach Tadpole and drag him out of water.
He does not take no for an answer this time. The kits are soaking wet and terrified, they need to be seen by a medicine cat. And he sure is not leaving them out of his sight. Sasha is visibly uncomfortable, but complies.
Firestar is surprised by the whole situation and is upset that his apprentice did not tell him earlier, but of course he lets Sasha stay. The kits, after the shock waves off, adapt quite well to the clan life and are exited about their home. None of them really want to leave. All of them adore Bramblepaw and follow him like three little shadows.
The similarities between Bramble and Hawk are obvious, and Firestar confronts Sasha, asking if the father is Tigerstar. She confesses that he used be her mate and asks the leader not to take it out on her kits. He then tells her how he used to harshly judge Bramlepaw for his looks alone and how he was proven wrong, so he is more than willing to give these kits a chance.
They stay and nobody dies and everyone lives happily ever after, Bramblepaw indeed getting to help with his siblings’ training and being the most loving big brother Thunderclan has ever seen.
Some side stuff:
- Mothwing and Leafpool being co-medicine cats. Maybe they are in love)
- Tadpole following Brambleclaw, when the Big Bro™ goes on his super important Starclan quest, cause of course he would. Maybe TadpoleSquirrel along the way, they are closer in age and I just think they’re neat (plus the StarClan shouldn’t be bitchy about it, it’s still Fire and Tiger)
- Tigerstar still trying to convince Hawkfrost and Brambleclaw (maybe Tadpole too, idk how he would feel about a kid who does not look like him) to train under him in Dark Forest, but they both refuse.
- Sasha and Goldenflower bonding time over their shared experience with the Garbagestar. Two ladies just being friends and talking about how proud they are of their children.
- I like the name Tadpoletail, I think it’s cute
Okay I feel like for the “Seven Greatest Demigods”, their entrances were anticlimactic.
Hazel Levesque? Brought back from the dead after saving the world single handedly. Yes. Good. Definitely Seven worthy. But if her first appearance had been in the underworld, that would have been like- whoa. We’re about to find the most powerful demigod of all time. We’re finding her in the fields of asphodel. She has suffered and rebelled against Gaea, the earth mother. One of the Seven greatest indeed. The underworld would be described much differently from the POV of someone dead. Or hell- we could have seen her die first, and then the time skip would have been very interesting to see from her POV. when we meet her she’s had six months of adjustment in the over world. If we got to read firsthand how it felt to know that she was destroying herself and her mother, and then sacrificing her chance at Elysium for her mother not to get the fields of punishment... that would have been heartbreaking. Plus we would get to see Nico come to her, which would be exciting- like “we’re going to meet all the demigods of the future!! Woohoo!” That would have been the coolest. Definitely would have sold me for the “big three kids are insanely powerful”
I wouldn’t change her backstory at all- other than getting rid of Sammy’s relation to Leo- just the time that she’s introduced is different.
For Leo, I’m also keeping the backstory, but probably not the wilderness school. No fake Jason memories, because I feel like that just made their relationships (Jason, Piper, Leo) start off very strangely.
We would meet him while he’s running from another foster home. I’d like to be introduced to the sneaky side of him pretty early, like watching him get out of the house undetected, using his gadgets to pick locks or even keep his foster parents locked inside. His backstory is so very important to him, but I never really felt that he confronted the part of his past when he was on the run/abused in foster homes. Fire isn’t mentioned yet- I love the way his fire was introduced in TLH, so I’d keep the fire a secret until then. One way or another he makes it to camp, and gets claimed right away. But we need to see who they are before they’re the demigods of the prophecy, because we never got to know who Leo was or how his life was before he was on a quest. This way it’s more personal.
(However I would be open to him going to the wilderness school before camp, which is where he and Piper meet and are best friends)
For Frank, I’m going to say CHANGE THE BACKSTORY.
it took so long to figure out what his powers were and his grandma was so frustratingly vague about it that I almost didn’t care by the time he actually found out because I had guessed it myself already. Also, how many of these moms are fucking dead? We can’t have the same shit over and over. Dead parents isn’t the only angst you can have. (Leo and Hazel’s mothers dying are probably the only one’s I’d keep dead) I think his mother would have taught him how to use the powers that they share- I’d love to see the Zhang family dynamic being a happier side of the story. His grandma being so strict and his mother being so fierce and wanting to be a hero while Frank is kind and sweet. I think that Frank’s mother’s longing to be a hero would be interesting for her to watch her son live out her dream. Based on what we know about her, she would be ridiculously proud, but jealousssss.
We would probably meet frank while he is transformed into some sort of animal. His mother is telling him to focus, and it takes him a while to change back. We learn that out of the Zhang family, Frank is the slowest learner for shapeshifting. While his mom is endlessly patient, his grandmother is not. He’s sent to camp so that he can learn to use his powers. Frank is insecure about this.
ALSO: He is not afraid of Nico. At no point does he look at Nico and say that thing is creepy. He is like poor kid I am your big brother now. (He’s got paternal instincts like his mama)
Frazel doesn’t happen. Sorry guys but first of all they were boring second of all it was a weird age gap and third of all weird love triangle.
So he’s just a big brother figure to the underworld kids.
Trans frank, frank stays fat and there is no weird magical “glow up”
Jason Grace
My boy. Same backstory. But it actually AFFECTS him. Like we see the result of him going through all of this trauma. This would come slowly, of course, because the whole point of his character is that he is Hera’s “Chosen One”. think of that one guy from Star Wars who used to be an army thingy?? (With the white armour) yeah so like the whole “emotionless soldier” making friends and learning to care for them and for himself means a lot to me so he would be like that. Also he would NOT know what to do with Leo, who is the embodiment of: 😈, while he is the embodiment of:😶. So I would include much more dad friend Jason keeping Piper and Leo on a leash, while also trying to follow their lead on being a Normal Teenager 👍. (They are setting the worst example, frank saves him later)
I don’t know about having the deleted memories, because while I love that idea I also think we’d get to know him a lot better without it. Percy is okay to have lost his memories because we know him. But we don’t know Jason. But I also just love empty head Jason.
The “catch me!” Scene wouldn’t happen, it would take more time to find out he’s the son of Jupiter. Lol idk when, but there should have been more foreshadowing like:
“He should have gone inside, really, but he felt so drawn to the storm. Standing outside, his clothes were drenched in rain, and he felt the thunder in his bones before he heard it. This is how it would feel, he thought, to remember.”
I also think we deserved one scene of him crying in the rain, wondering who is and why he knows how to fight better than how to be a person.
MORE JASON ANGST !!
We don’t do Jasiper
Also Valgrace (slow burn) Piper is queer (we don’t know her sexuality yet so)
Piper. Oh Piper. My girl
I am so sorry for what RR did to you.
She is not a kleptomaniac. She is much better representation for Indigenous people. She has brown eyes. She does not wear feathers. She does not immediately fall in love and chase after a boy for the entire book series. She isn’t written in a misogynistic way, and is allowed to express herself however she wants. (This goes for ALL the rep in HOO actually)
The inner turmoil she faces when deciding whether or not to betray her friends is still there, but we meet her in the wilderness school with an unexpected best friend Leo Valdez. (They’ve just met recently) she instead uses her charmspeak when she really wants something, but it’s all by accident. Like “Can we reschedule the test?” Or “Can I please not run a mile?”. She has her “I am supreme lord of the bathroom” moment, where her charmspeak helps her out of a tight spot (either with Dylan or her racist classmates) she probably embarrasses them or reveals Dylan is a ventus. Piper and Leo dynamic duo while hiding from coach hedge yeah yeah.
Jason shows up and they are like. Who are you wtf. That’s funnier than them knowing who he is anyway.
(Piper learns of her singing charm speak earlier on, and perhaps she sings a Cherokee song, because even without charm speak native music is extremely powerful.)
Annabeth trains Piper for fighting (with a knife) which is how we meet her. Hazel teaches Piper how to sword fight later on.
So I feel that Frank and Piper and Leo grow into their powers a lot, but we see their potential while meeting them.
As we go on, they’re powers are expanded on.
But Jason and Hazel are a bit more powerful from the get go, so we’re just like alright these are the power houses, but then we see the rest of them grow and we’re like okay they are ALL powerhouses this is great.
