Because of its bark.
Longtail is the most underrated cat in this series. He had an entire redemption arc through the whole series. During that, he lost so much. But he kept going. You’re animation describes that journey perfectly!! 💖
He is so misunderstood!
Spirit Animations He’s my fav man!
Hes my favorite major/minor character other than Lightning Tail. And Needletail's great... DANG why do cats with 'tail' are great? (Turtle Tail is awesome too.)
He’s my favorite character, ive drawn him so much and commissioned a custom plush of him :D dustpelt is my second favorite though (also have a plush of him and scourge )
Me too. He had a really good character delevelop for a background character. SSS Warrior Cat made me love him even more because his voice actor did such a good jobnwith expressing his personality.
This kind of makes me think about this condition often found in blind people who had previously been able to see. It's basically just them hallucinating swirling colors because their brain thinks it should be seeing something. I think it's an interesting concept to mess around with, especially with a character like longtail. He could easily be seeing things that aren't there, just like this.
@@fauxmarble7439 i had a similar though! Wondered if blind people could still dream
@@Pancakeboiiblind people can dream
@@lunartimberwolf ah thanks! I didnt know 😅
@@Pancakeboii No problem
@@PancakeboiiVery late reply, but yes, people who are blind can dream!
If they lost their sight at a later point, they might still have visual dreams. Those who have been blind since birth, or who lost their sight at a young age often have dreams that are more auditory/focused on sound
Longtail grew from an annoying brat to one of the sweetest and most loyal cats, I mean he went back to get a piece of prey that couldve been easily caught later and died from it, and let's not forget when Mousefur died infront of him he wasnt just mad, he was IRATE, and he was one of firestars first enemies and now firestar's reaction to his death made my heart do a yeet
The really sucky thing is that even before the events of into the wild, Longtail was always a good person, but he was surrounded by bad people. When a warrior was suffering from greencough and on the verge of death and needs food for strength, Longtail helps to hunt for her. But Darkstripe convinced him to eat the rabbit they caught because he said they'd have the strength to get more. When the she-cat died Longtail wanted so bad to tell the clan that darkstripe convinced him to eat the prey they caught, but Dark threatened to tell the clan that he had eaten it too.
Longtail must've been holding in the guilt and self blame for so long over the she-cats death that could've been prevented. Hell, Darkstripe had taken a bite out of the prey without even giving Longtail another choice.
@@HarvestPeiskos2209 the she-cat was Poppy’Dawn!
@@hudadog453 Yeah I know, I couldn't remember her name when I had made the comment, TY tho!^^
When he finally caught the rabbit and it changed to have the pattern of his coat I swear my heart dropped. Poor long boy.
(And as always I absolutely love your animations and style of story telling!)
@lps cuddlykittentv he literally needs to eat to survive and the rabbit isn't a character lmao
@Lps Echo literally every single cat in the series hunts the prey of the forest lmao, either all the characters starve to death or all the characters actually follow predator instincts and live. every predator animal has to hunt for food in the wild, its called the food chain
still remember that horrifying moment when he came bursting into camp that he couldn't see 😔😔😔
Maaaan. I really want to go back and reread the books, but then I remember moments like this and I’m not sure if I could handle it all over again, lol.
I feel I should read the books but times like that I would BAWL MY EYES OUT
Alternate Title: Local long boi is haunted by the cast of Watership Down and the friends he failed to save, is plagued by depressing thoughts, and with the support of his loved ones is able to conquer his inner demons and find peace.
... or, at least that's how I interpreted it. :P I think that's supposed to be Swiftpaw at 1:20 and Tigerstar at 2:27, hence the "friends he failed to save" part.
Anyway, great work! You never fail to impress. :-)
Ohh, I didn’t notice that Swiftpaw part. Thanks for sharing :D
Black rabbit of inle visited him 💀
Yeah the title sounds about right
Omg watership down! Lmaoo
Him and Swiftpaw had such a nice bond, like father and son or a big brother and a younger one. It must’ve been crushing when he died.
Oof as someone with PTSD the flashback sequences hit really hard. This just makes me love Longtail more, I feel like I can relate to him better now.
What are PTSD flashbacks like? It's alright if you don't feel comfortable answering, I just want to understand the disorder better.
@@mckaylamarille8630 hi !! this is someone else responding but i also have ptsd so ig i might as well tell u what they r like !!
it's . a bit hard to explain, the best way i can describe them is as if you r in that moment Again , reliving it all over in your head from tha beginning of the traumatic event to its end . it sorta feels like ur dissociating ? if that makes sense
i might have done a terrible job explaining what it feels like but that's the best i can describe it lol
Here's my take on this;
Longtail's dealing with feelings of uselessness (themes of suicide, "close your eyes and you'll leave this dream) and he keeps thinking of the rabbit.
I think at first, the rabbit symbolizes aspirations that someone gets caught up in, and also fate, or things that can't be changed. Something that seems harmless and tantalizing at first, but is more dangerous than you think. Literally, the rabbit blinded Longtail, and renders him "useless." (though he's far from it.) At first, Longtail is dreaming, and doens't know what the rabbit causes. He encourages swiftpaw to follow his "dream," to keep chasing the raggit. It lured swiftpaw away, and Longtail feels useless again, thinking that he should have tried harder to save swiftpaw, that swiftpaw was too caught up in his desperation to become a warrior. He relives swiftpaw's death, how the rabbit turns from prey to predator, a dog.
It lures tigerstar away. Here, the rabbit is ambitions for leadership, and it also represents bloodclan, a lust for power.
Now, about tigerstar and darkstripe, Longtail first tells a story about them to kits, I think. He also talks about bloodclan, due to the collar/teeth imagery. Then a kit asks a question that disturbs him (I don't know what, I think it might by something like "oh, weren't you friends with them? But weren't they the bad guys? Are you bad too? Idk, something that leads to him feeling like things were his fault.) Mousefur (I'm guessing that's her) tells the story from there, taking over for Longtail, who's sulking. She worries about him.
Then, we see the rabbit luring someone else away. It's tigerstar. Longtail knows the rabbit is dangerous now, and tries to stop tigerstar. But he's not fast enough, he's not on the right side, he thinks. It's perpetually "his fault." Finally, the rabbit turns into scourge, who kills tigerstar in front of everyone. "I could have prevented this." is Longtail's mentality. Then, scourge is pinning down firestar, who Longtail is trying to save, the kittypet he had originally hated. "Why am I always not enough? Why can't I prevent the death of cats I love? Why am I useless?" These thoughts all chip away at Longtail, until he actually falls off his mental cliff.
When he wakes up, he is comforted by Mousefur.
In his final dream, I have two theories. First: he is face to face with the rabbit again. He will not run away from the rabbit. He will not try to keep running and chasing it down, only to find that he's been led into his demise. He runs up to it and kills it, but to his horror, the rabbit turns into himself. It's slow steps, first a nick in the ear, then body shape, then pupil changes, then stripes. All his regret and his thoughts that only he brought himself to this state have congealed into the rabbit.
Second theory: In the final dream, he forgets some things, like you sometimes do in the surreal state of dreaming. He's back to his former self, no scars, no memories, and no learning. He only has some vague notion that the rabbit is something to be chased, used to be something to be feared, and is something that hurt him and his friends. He hunts it down, naturally, failing to notice that actually, the rabbit is starting to look at him. He catches it, thinking it's over. Finally, the monster of the rabbit is gone, right? Everything is safe, and nothing is his fault anymore, right? But the rabbit shifts into /him/. His desire, like everyone else's, has blinded him, and it is too late.
Edit: I actually think that everytime he starts going into the palette white "dream state" He loses a bit of memories. "Oh, I'm back with swiftpaw? Sweet! He's my favorite apprentice. Or, "Oh, I'm back with the boys, tigerstar and darkstripe! I bet we're going to do all sorts of fun things we did back in the day." then, he slowly gains back his memories in vague, terrifying visions of the rabbit.
I /really/ like how when he starts gaining memories out of his dreaming stupor, the ribbons of light, or scent, start getting dark and crackly. And anothing thing, I love how he just keeps seeing the rabbit. Right before he lunges at scourge, he's like, okay, I'm getting revenge for him killing tigerstar. But as he starts chasing down scourge, he's chasing the rabbit again, and he freaks out. Every time he tries to go for something, he thinks it's going to hurt him or his friends. The rabbit might mold to his fears.
adDING ON-
I actually think the ribbons are scents. Longtail catches the scent of the rabbit and "leaves swiftpaw behind." He catches scent of the rabbit and realizes that tigerstar is going to die. They move in an airy pattern. I love the attention to detail this whole thing has.
I loved the theories but now the whole text it blurring in my vision like when you see little red or green things when you look at the sun for too long-
anywho, still a good theory! :3
@@atlassprout i must inform you that I care way too much about this video and would gladly right a fifteen-page essay on it
thanks btw
Edit: I think I made a mistake and that the cat with green eyes that comforts Longtail might be firestar, or might still be mousefur, which means that the next brown cat without light colored legs is either mousefur or like, briarlight.

Long tail in bright colours?
*YES PLEASE*
Longtail really had a bad run h u h
Why was the cat afraid of a tree?
Because it was falling.
Multiple references in one baby-
what the- THE WAS SO UNIQUE AND GORGEOUS AAAA
Heres what i think is happening throughout the video !!!! im not gonna be like “i KNOW this is whats going on” because nobody but the original creators really do and can say that but i tried my best :-)
So at the beginning firestar is talking to longtail about going to the new territories. Longtail says he wants them to go without him being he is blind and feels useless. He then goes into a dream/flashback and smells something. He follows the smell, hunting a rabbit. (this is the rabbit that blinded him btw.) suddenly his dream turns into a nightmare and he is running from a dog. He finds swiftpaw, his former apprentice’s corpse. Longtail wakes up from his nightmare sometime in the future from the new territories conversation. Lionpaw(?) and mousefur are with him. He starts telling foxkit and icekit stories from before they were born about darkstripe, tigerstar and how they were defeated along with bloodclan. Then i think lionpaw says something that upsets him? Maybe something about how he was friends with tigerstar and darkstripe? Idk. idk. Ill try to figure it out. But basically he turns away and shuts down. Grumpy old man. Mousefur tells them about how longtail stayed with the clan even when his two best friends left to be bad and evil. Longtail has another nightmare. Hes on a hunt with his former best friends, tigerclaw(star) and darkstripe. They smell the rabbit again and tigerstar takes the lead to chase it. Longtail knows something is wrong and stops. The nightmare takes a bad turn again and switches to tigerstar being killed by scourge. Longtail stumbles back off a cliff only to find his other former best friend darkstripe killed by graystripe. He sees the rabbit again before awakening in a start in his den near mousefur. Firestar walks by and comforts him, curling next to the panicked cat until he falls back asleep. When he falls back asleep its peaceful and he finally catches the rabbit, but once its dead in his jaws its fur takes on the color and patterns of his own.
edit: just realized longtail started hunting with swiftpaw at 0:40 only to leave him behind and then find his corpse later in the same dream/nightmare
You are correct.
@@LitchiKitti oh I'm so glad !!!!!!! I love this video (and all your videos) so much and whenever I come across it I watch it a few times
*fangirl noises because Longtail is one of my favorite characters he's just so flawed and interesting and beautiful* I love this.
edit: and I especially love 1:07 because I think it's him reliving swiftpaw's death.
Long tail needs more love yessir
Agree. He one of my favorite because how much he changes over the books.
"Why was the cat afraid of the tree?"
Because of the bark?
Is this because everyone thought Jayfeather was Longtail? *AHEM* (To all the comments trying to correct me) when you showed the design of Jayfeather and people thought it was Longtail after you made the pmv or amv of Jayfeather and briarlight. You asked if people liked Longtail so everyone was like "YEAH!" and then this came out.
Just gonna say, he is Longtail because of the torn ear
Read the tiiiitttlleeeeeeeee pleeeeeeaaaasssee peopleeee
@@lukeandhalen6702 ? What about the title?
title
It says “Longtail , my time
Do you ever think Longtail scolds apprentices when they bring rabbits as an elder? Maybe he can't eat them anymore and tears at them until Mousefur pulls it away and gives him her meal instead
Alternate title: Longtail gets casually attacked by the cast of watership down...
Imagine if they were at a Christmas party, Tigerstar just gifts him Watership down as a passive aggresive "fuck-you" for not following him
HOLY JESUS YOU'RE STUFF ALWAYS TURNS OUT SO INTERESTING AND UNIQUE I'M IN LOVE
hello fellow omori pfp
Borger
why am i not surprised that you have an omori pfp
i have a question for youuu
can it will you do a animation with a glass animals song? idk why but sometimes glass animals just fits perfectly with warrior cats
litchi i’m just gonna count that as a mysterious maybe and idk what that means i just randomly came up with it
Life itself would be great but honestly there are so many songs to choose from I’d be happy with anything
I'm actually hosting a Pork Soda Ashfur Map!
The whole time watching I keep thinking “How? How are you able to create such dynamic pictures both in color and style that make it feel like a complex diorama?” Then I remember you’re super awesome, creative, and talented so it makes sense.
I love the color pallet you did for this animation!
Bruh help I haven't been able to stop rewatching this after the premier ended. Everything about is absolutely HECKIN FANTASMAL, the color pallets are gorgeous, your art style is fabulous, and the idea in general is jbebjdkskbbeiifjebe
I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS
premier?
oh hi friend
Oh my god! bo en + warriors?! Hell yes!!
Gorgeous, so so gorgeous! I love all of the symbolism surrounding the rabbit and felt so gratified when he finally overcame it at the end. Your work is seriously brilliant and so well thought out, I adooooore it! 💕
Aw this looks wonderful! Whenever I heard this song it always gave off kinda a dreamy/spooky vibe and I think you portrayed the characters and the song perfectly!
ALRIGHT A YEAR LATER I THINK I GET IT.
The rabbit symbolizes the various traumas Longtail has faced in his life. In his waking life he is grumpy and stuck in his past and so in his dreams he revisits that past. First the rabbit leads him to dogs and as he runs he sees Swiftpaw dead in the grass. He wakes up and tells the kits about Tigerstar and Darkstripe, he gets grumpy when they ask questions and Hollypaw explains he was once their friend. When Lontail dreams again he is back with Darkstripe and Tigerstar, they hunt a rabbit which turns out to be Scourge who kills Tigerstar. Then I think he runs into Darkstripe poisoning Sorrelkit. He confronts Darkstripe but wakes up in a panic after seeing the rabbit. Firestar I think is the orange cat who comforts him. And with that comfort he can finally kill the rabbit- put his trauma to rest as it was.
kill it
Longtail: have trauma with rabbit
His dreams: ha ha rabbit goes hop- bArK
One of my favorite songs for one of my favorite cats, how perfect can this be? I love it so much! Personally I think longtail could’ve been blinded by something other than a rabbit- which is literally the saddest because it’s what they eaT- maybe like a hawk or something could’ve been better. This PMV made that a bit better though.
oooooOoooOOOOOOH WHEN THE BEAT DROPPED THO :00000 gosh this is amazing as always!!!
Im really loving the thumbnail beautiful choice in colors
What should've happened:
Rabbit: die >:c
Longtail: no you.
Also Longtail: *blinds rabbit instead*
Rabbit: well heck-
I just spent a whole hour watching this, pausing at every frame to appreciate them
tfw you get beat up by a kittypet, a rabbit, and a tree
Thank you for making this hawt animation for us! ♥
Tbh k expected it to end with the rabbit turning into the tree that killed Longtail but that ending was way better
*I
Long boi and Cheeto puff is getting along
I never appreciated Longtail until he lost his sight and hated his death. Not sure I'd include him as a favorite but definitely well liked.
love it! Although my soul took a screenshot at the beginning.
Start of the video: *silence*
Me: oh my audio must be broke-
the video: *CLOSE.*
**omori flashbacks**
**screams**
ACKGHHH oh god this feels so different after seeing the endings........
*_sHI-_*
👏WE👏 👏STAN👏 👏GOOD👏 👏CHARACTER👏 👏REDEMPTION👏 👏 ARCS👏
This has to be the most unique, creative and stylized warriors media I've ever laid eyes on. Plus your style feels in place with the music, and Longtail is one of the best bois :D
this is so beautiful! I love the dream sequences, especially the glowing neon parts. and mousefur
There's the chorus of a song that makes me think about longtail's relationship with tigerclaw and darkstripe, It's called "Remember When" by Bad Wolves.
This fuckijng brakes my heart
Never thought about how rabbits were involved in 2 of the most traumatic incidents in Longtail’s life
I can't listen to this song without thinking of Omori anymore but I LOVE THIS!!
歌が日本語で驚きましたが、不思議な雰囲気が絵と合っていて素敵でした。
ファンです、これからも作品づくり頑張ってください！
The way you showed the flashbacks-
That hit me so hard. Makes me love Longtail more. I know that feeling...
"Great, I'm with my best friend and everything is fun and nice."
Then he shows up in her place and it all feels wrong. It's wrong.
How you showed that with Longtail and the rabbit really hit hard and I want to say thank you for that.
i hope this gets more traction, its the most unique warriors fan work ive seen in the past year’s time hands down, and also compelling and eye candy to boot.
as an aside is it mousefur or firestar that comforts him throughout the video? with the unique color schemes and no character refs its hard to tell, but im pretty sure its firestar.
The first one is firestar, the plum one is mousefur!
Oh man, this was just so amazing. It made my day.
Longtail deserves love.
I really just don't understand how you're able to get those neon like colours to look so amazing together! Teach me your s k i l l s
Longtail best boy
Aa I love Longtail, I'm glad you guys made a video for him!!!! It turned out amazing!!!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH, BOEN IS FREAKING GREAT
I'll never get over how incredibly talented you are.
You guys never fail to impress me! Thank you so much ❤❤
Fun fact: longtails name for spanish translation is "Rabo largo" where im from it mean LoNG D-
WhEeZe-
En España rabo significa cola en cambio, en otros países pues, sí, sí significa eso xd
Greatest animation I'd seen in such a long time. The song I loved it it did match long tail a ton (On how I see him). The art style perfect the neon colors are amazing.❤
Edit:Thanks for the likes❤
that was AMAZING!! the color palettes and designs are absolutely stunning, as usual. im so glad I made it to the premiere.
I love my little bastard man.
This is absolutely gorgeous!! Your work never ceases to amaze! 💕
your use of colors omg is perfect!! this is beautiful!!
Это шикарно, как по мне, одна из лучших работ. Никогда бы не придумала столько красок, идей и фантазий.
I UGHHH WHY YOU SO GOOD ALL THE WORK YOU PUt iNTO THIS I CANT
I have not read these books in years so I’m really confused. But I remember my favourite character was long tail so it’s nice to see him ^^
Every time I see a video of yours I think "it can't be that song, it's too obscure" and then it IS that song and it's amazing
Oml, your art looks so good!! I love Longtail.
ah finally some good food for longtail stans. it's crunch time
I love that it always looks like music
Fucking gorgeous as always! Love longtail so much and i think this brought out something noone talks about with him and his past. Amazing job!!
Can someone explain this for me I haven't caught up with the books I know the rabbit blinds him but who's the red cat
The orange cat in the begining is firestar. The orange cat with pink eyes is lionpaw, the two kittens are foxkit and icekit, and the plum cat is mousefur.
When I was younger, about 12, I was ABSOLUTELY in love with Longtail (not actually in love, he was just my favorite cat ever). Flash forward a few years to now, I remember why I loved him so much.
SO GOOD! Love the color choice for this one.
I KEPT SEEING UPDATES FOR THIS ON TWITTER AND NOW THAT ITS FINISHED IM JUST PLAYING IT ON REPEAT ITS AMAZING
every time i see another video made by this channel my heart jumps with excitement- i adore your work, thank you so much for blessing my eyes with this project !
Hello again! CANNOT get enough Of your style!! It’s so unique and beautiful and perfect! This was amazing as always!! Thanks for blessing my eyes once again ~
The glitch effects and the dreamlike visuals are absolutely amazing for this!
I always love to watch your videos, but you cranked it up to 11 with these visuals!
My sweet sweet boy, I love longtail boy so much he is amazing and he's my favorite cat in the entirety of all the series just
*I want him to be real so I can hug him and I know he would scratch me but I love him so muchhhhh*
It's finally out, well worth the wait! Gorgeous as always
This was so beautiful! The colours, the animation and the style! It was pure eye candy.
That was gorgeous! I think its my favourite video of yours so far. I love the designs and the creative idea of the dream sequences!
Amazing work as always
Longtail has always been my favorite character and the way you told his story just makes my heart melt- the colors, the dreams, the motif of the rabbit - I absolutely adore all of it! Incredible work!! ♡☆
Honestly this is beautiful! I love the unique style. I also love Longtail so much, one of my favorites.
Omg this was just absolutely stunning I love it so much!!
this looks AMAZING
I always love your videos, Litchi! Great job on this!
Watching this whole video was a trip!
I absolutely LOVED it!
just uh revisiting this from time to time remembering that this is my favorite thing ever. it's perfect in every way can't even describe it.
This is amazing!! I love the colours you use and the backgrounds are stunning
Oh my gosh this is one of my favorite songs, I'm so glad somebody made it into something as beautiful as this
GOD op your mind!
Your colors choices, story telling and designs killed me, your art style is absolutely incredible this has to be one of my all time favorite wc videos i've seen in so long!
Omegosh! I absolutely adore Longtail and was always trying to find animations of him!! It also stuns me on how you chose this song,, I've always liked it and I never ever imagined it with Longtail! I was thinking of Ivypaw and Hawkfrost for this song, but the Longtail idea is way more fitting!! Thanks for making this ;;) The way you portray the rabbit as a scary, unnatural creature to Longtail is awesome!! And the COLOURS!!! They keep me on edge the whole time!
I always love the colour pallets of your videos!
beautiful work as always! i love longtail too so this is great :3
this is amazing...the colours, the animation, the way you showed the scent of the rabbit as he was hunting, the atmosphere, EVERYTHING! This is so good :)
I loved it!! Your videos improve so much every time!
woah, the first drop with swiftpaw is _chilling_
