Edit: Hi yall! It's come to my attention that the feather behind Spotted's ear could be appropriation of indigenous culture. I didn't intend it as a character design thing as much as symbolism but I still see how it looks like that and I should have incorporated the concept in a different way, I'm sorry.

If you chose to make fanart of this map (that sounds very conceited lol I've had like 1 person make art, this is just in case!) please remove the feather or move it to her pelt or tail instead :)

"So feathers are incredibly sacred to Indigenous cultures. They are an honor to receive, and treasured greatly. They aren’t small, insignificant parts of our culture... The way that artists tend to use the feathers in their design is very reminiscent of these stereotypical caricatures of Indigenous people. We don’t necessarily mind you adding a feather for some reason to your design, but placing it in your character’s hair or behind the ear in a way that is similar to these old caricatures is a no-go."

This is pretty old but it was super fun cleaning it up a bit and finishing it! It’s not great quality and I really gave up towards the end but I didn’t intend for it to be incredible anyway lol

NOTE: incase it was unclear, this animatic is in NO WAY trying to romanticize or approve of Thistleclaw and Spotted’s ‘relationship’. The song is about suburban, old-fashioned housewives and feelings of worth being tied to relationships and the cheery tone is supposed to be ironic.
