The Other Side • A Complete Warriors AU MAP

[ Heya! ] ✩°｡⋆ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [ preword ] Look, I’m gonna be completely honest with you all. I had this MAP completed and sitting in my unshared folder for around 6 months. I just kept forgetting abt it or pushing it off saying “I’ll write the description later and theeen share it, I’ll find time.” But I never did find the time. And when I finally remembered this thing existed, I knew I had to share it. So, to commemorate my New Years Resolution not procrastinating I begrudgingly made three days ago (which I’m pretty sure won’t last long), I’m just going to get this over with and share it! I hope you all enjoy it and happy 2026!! (oh yeah, btw, HUUUUGE shoutout to @W1ld4641 for putting this entire thing together! I was experiencing some heavy technical difficulties so I wasn’t able to do it myself, but they were there to help me through it, thank you so much!!) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [ origins ] Around a year ago, I came up with this far-fetched idea of “what is Rusty brought Smudge along with him into the forest?” I had been rewatching the Greatest Showman and thought, “Hmm… well this one particular song fits this situation really well…” And boom, I made a map. I actually made this map on pretty short notice. With all the rumbling motivation and creativity in me, I managed to finalize and post the map only a day or two after I came up with the idea. (oh, how motivated and non-procrastinate-y I was back then) I thought it would end up like my previous (and first) map, Anything You Can Do, and just flop and fail and have to be rehosted by another person. However, fate would prove me wrong. Over the course of the next year, this thing actually got completed! It got completed! Oh my gosh I was so excited! I could scream off the mountaintops in joy and that still wouldn’t live up to the actual amount of excitement my body was feeling in that exact moment I realized this map could actually exist! After all the parts were finished, I pulled up @W1ld4641 to put the map together because I was experiencing technical difficulties, and they did such an amazing job! I literally can’t thank you enough!! But I’m still gonna try. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [ about the map’s story arc ] *gasps* *heaves* well that was a lot of thank yous, but still not enough to express how thankful I am of you. But, anyways, let’s move onto a brief overview of the map’s story arc!! Smudge has always watched Rusty dream of what was beyond the fence. Day and night, sick and ill, Smudge would hear all about how wonderful it would be if they were out there. But Rusty had only been dreaming of another life, not actually thinking of taking action. Until now. One fateful morning, Rusty went to Smudge and pitched an idea — hopping the fence to the other side. Smudge was doubtful at first. He had heard all the horror stories passed around the block about the ferocious cats that lived in the forest who would fight each other for land and violently devour any animal that looks their way. But Smudge loved his friend and wanted Rusty to be able to live his dream, and after seeing how determined Rusty was, maybe he was meant to be out there. And maybe, just maybe… if they went out there together, Rusty would be okay. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Welp, that was a pretty bad summary of the map, but that’s okay! Because I yapped way too much, I ran out of space in my desc, so I’ll be putting all the credits in the notes and credits section of the project! Go check it out NOW! And don’t forget to follow EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM!! Because they are all AMAZING!!!!! That’s all from me for now! Ta-ta, and I wish you a beautiful 2026! Love ya! - alphǐe
