【#6】Rocket Ships • LITTLE PICKLE TOWN

⭐ EPISODE 06: ROCKET SHIPS
Unlike Yellow who wore their heart on their sleeves, Monaco finds herself unable to voice out her feelings. Who would have thought that a night-out in disguise and a pink-haired man can turn her a little bit like her true self?
Note: Since a lot of people ask, Monaco is bigender. But rather than to simply show Monaco's gender identity, cross-dressing is also her way of escaping from reality. Monaco uses she/her.

this makes me sad. my boyfriend told me one day that he wanted to grow a garden, i said sure and we did. everyday he would take care of it and talk to the dirt for almost hours. when the flowers started to grow he seemed to be getting sad, once it fully bloomed he cried and said he loved me. that day he committed suicide and they only note he left was " take care of the flowers, i am apart of them as much as they are apart of me " i don't know why he did it but i still love him and haven't moved on in almost 5 years. sometimes i feel like its my fault as if i should have noticed, i didn't though, what makes me it worse is that i was expecting, now my daughter takes care of the flowers, i cried the other day when i heard her talking to them.

[@everiley1244]

Hi I know we don't know each other and there is nothing I can say to fix the pain but it's clear to see you deeply cared and its truly not you're fault no matter what you might think. I know things have probably been very difficult for you but I hope you and your daughter are well, I hope you have a good life and that those flowers can be a memory of the good times and not only the loss. I know things are extremely hard and I'm not quite sure what to say, but I'm so so proud of you and all ur success like your daughter. All my wishes and love although I know it's not much try and have a great day. Take care stranger remember to look after yourself 💛

[@liza1672]

In the beginning we can see she’s a loner and is socially awkward not being able to talk to others, but it seems she wants friends, so when the girls came up to her and told her they were friends and that’s why they needed her help, she seemed like she liked the idea, which was not true they just wanted to get grades out of her, so when she hears them calling her names and making fun of her she seems to not be affected, but insides she’s crying. the whole day she spends avoiding her feelings and not letting herself feel it. when she gets home and her friend invites her to a party she decline with the excuse of being “busy” but her inner self really is just sad but she doesn’t want to acknowledge it. We see her fall asleep and have a dream about all her problems solved and her finally telling an adult and getting help and everything going good for her until the words “that’s just wishful thinking” pop up meaning this is what she wants, and then she remembers all the times she tried to open up to someone for them to shut her down telling her that their problems are worse, her problems not being that bad, or that she’s too sad. then she realizes that she’s the only one she has. the scene of herself on the noose and when she says “let’s jump” is not because she wants to commit suicide (i think) she wants her life as she knows it to end, she wants to restart. So that’s why she cuts all her hair and covers her chest turning herself to a boy to have fresh start of her life that she hates. as she walks in the street she stumbles on the boy and they sit down together. he can tell that something’s off and so he tells her that he’s willing to listen knowing well that she just needs someone to hear her out and for to just to let it out, all the problems and sadness she’s been holding in. And that’s when we see her cry and have a mental breakdown, because all she wanted is someone to acknowledge her and listen to her talk about her problems and finally just let her get it all out of her system. She reminds me of what they call a “golden child” when everyone thinks they’re good at everything academically, physically, emotionally, and socially, when in reality she’s sad and can’t seem to express her feelings

[@Rando_mIndividual]

3:03 I GET THIS A LOT. Scroll if you don’t like stories on comments or paragraphs. Whenever I confess on how I get bullied a lot from my siblings, to the point where it isn’t just “sibling fights.” My sister would hit me. Cuss in front of me. (Keep in mind I’m 10) She’d throw stuff (really hard stuff like electronic toys) at me when I just poke her once. She’d say I’m weird, annoying, stupid. Her friends (who don’t even know me) say that too just because she said it. She even told me that she doesn’t love me nor cared if I never was born or dead. She said it would still be “normal.” This started when I was 8. When I was 8 my sister blackmailed me. After 2 1/2 years of this, I still love her. My brother chokes me. To the point where I cannot breathe. I told my mom about this, she said “Oh! Just some sibling fighting.” YEAH. CHOKING YOUR SISTER IS “SIBLING FIGHTING.” If my brother did that to someone else that’s not his sibling she would’ve gotten mad. The worst part is, I’m too young and weak to fight back. When I tell people this, they go on about how they have it worst. All of this just lowers my self esteem.. When I open up to them with my problem, they throw in their problem before I can even finish. They don’t even help me. And when they tell their problem, I help them. Each time I open up and they just set their problem down before I finish, I just feel more like my problem is not bad. That nobody should care about stupid sibling problems. I don’t like where we are and the school I’m at, but my sister loves her school. I loved our last school, but my sister hated it. I know that she loves the place we’re at right now, so maybe I should just suffer and let her be happy.. She’s still my sister and I love her. Even if she makes fun of every thing I do. Playing a instrument? “Wow, I could do better on my ukulele.” Singing? “Your singing sucks. I’m gonna record it.” Just made some friends? “They’ll forget you when we move.” (We move to different countries/areas every 2-3 years) I feel like I’m a terrible person all the time. No matter how nice I am, I always think back to what others say. “You’re spoiled.” “Wow, I’m more skinnier than you.” “Stop being so weird.” “Wow, you reply to my text with a ‘mhm’? How rude.” “@#$* said that you’re a crybaby.” “You’re annoying!” I just feel like I’m doing everything wrong... Nobody will read this all anyways. So who cares? I made a comment on how hurt I am on another video. Nobody even cared to see it. I made a funny comment, I got 3k likes. So nobody will read this. Whatever..

[@mihailolazic9046]

Yo, it's gonna be okay. It's very hard, but you CAN find someone to talk to about your problems. You shouldn't feel bad about opening up to people. We all have problems, and we shouldn't feel guilty just because someone is going through something way more terrible. So stop feeling like you shouldn't open up to people, because your siblings abusing is very serious.

[@sebastianruesta8113]

I know this may come off rude but do you really take solace in telling a ton of random people about your problems? If you think this is a really big problem I encourage you to take the initiative and do something about it.

[@King_James_1andLonely]

I don’t really comment much especially not to reply to others’ comments and especially when it’s not a new video/comment. So who knows if you’ll see this. But I want to say something anyways. You ARE valid. Your opinions, feelings, emotions, situations, pains, and anything else ARE valid. You deserve to be happy. The world is gonna make you feel like shit just because it can. It’s gonna tell you a bunch of lies about you, your character, the people around you. It sounds like right now you’re in a place that is hard for you to get out of and things are happening that you don’t know how to deal with. That’s really terrible, and I get it. It’s really hard to know what to do. It’s so hard. But you’ve made it this far. You’ve gotten here, despite how damn difficult it was and still is. But your life is worth it. You know, the people that I love the most in this world, the people who have made the most difference in my life, the people who are the very best kind of people: they are the ones who have been through the worst. Who have been in situations just like yours. They felt manipulated, broken, hurt, depressed, helpless, hopeless, unwanted, discarded. They felt like disgusting human beings, sometimes some even wished they were dead or wanted (even attempted) to kill themselves. But they survived. They pushed through it. And they came out on the other end better people because of it. They were able to help others in situations like theirs, were able to understand and empathize with people like them who didn’t have anyone else. And even if you don’t grow up to be someone who helps other people, you’ll be able to understand them better, I think. You’ll be able to listen and acknowledge and UNDERSTAND. And so often that’s all that people need. Is someone to listen. Someone to understand them and what they’re going through. So I want to tell you I get it. I can’t know exactly how you feel or exactly what you’re going through, but I can empathize with you. But life has a lot of good things too, a lot of things to look forward to. And maybe the people around you will eventually come to understand just how wrong they are. When people are hurting they tend to take it out on others. I am honestly proud of your strength and resilience and the way you still love the people who hurt you. Never lose that. No matter what people do to hurt you, just tell yourself that they have no idea. If they refuse to listen, if they think their problems are worse than yours, I’d they think you’re someone/thing you’re not - just acknowledge that they just don’t get it. They won’t listen and it’s no fault of yours. People are like that. But there are people who will love you for who you are and there are people you will find who appreciate you and understand you and I really sincerely hope you find them really soon. You deserve it. And if you need someone to talk to, talk to me. I will listen. I’ll try to help if I can, if you want. You’re not alone. I’m sorry you had to come to strangers on the internet to vent, thinking even then no one would hear you. I really hope you see this and know that you have at least someone out in the universe who cares. Even if I don’t know you and you don’t know me, maybe that will be enough. Please love yourself. You are worth it, I swear.

[@Rando_mIndividual]

wojcik thank you. A lot. I have to talk to people on the internet about my problems because whenever I tell somebody I know in real life about them, they don’t treat it as problems. They treat it as minor ones because people have worst.

[@Rando_mIndividual]

Prince Shanaynay thank you. I’ve had these problems for 3 years now. Is it okay if I tell something else? I told some people I’m lesbian, but every time I do they act completely different towards me. They don’t bully me, but they either ask me a bunch of questions like “Hey, what girl in our class would you like?”, and one even started to like me but I didn’t like her back because she wasn’t really a good person and I felt terrible about not liking her. My sister found out I was lesbian because the girl who likes me accidentally told her that I was when I wasn’t ready to tell anyone in my family that anymore. We’re not friends anymore. This is why I’m not ready yet. I like to rant on the internet about my problems because people don’t know who I am in real life on the internet. So again, thank you.

[@adaschmidt9150]

why is everything about this series perfect, like it’s one thing to be good at art, but y’all having a perfect taste in music and being great writers makes me self conscious

[@Milopaj]

that was extremely beautiful!! You're so talented, i'm so glad youtube recommended this to me!

I lowkey really like how the pink haired dude wears tight necklaces. It seems like a reminder of the bruises they had at the end of their animatic.

[@katiepetersen8185]

"I'm talking to myself again, how sad" you have to idea how many times a day I say that

LMAO- I thought that at 3:10 it was going to say: 'Sorry, but im (actually) the... President of the Company''. Beautiful animation. ✨

[@harrisongillbert3809]

It makes me sad and incredibly happy that I can relate to what the characters going through, lonliness sucks and making friends is hard :\

I ADORE your art style, it's gorgeous, and the colouring fits really well too! Great job on this, you should definitely be proud of it! (also I know someone has already mentioned this, but the binding at 3:23 is dangerous, remember to bind safely y'all)

Introducing my favorite character. Re watching the story because it's been a while and I honestly love it. Character arcs are great though too, the character introduced at the end is my favorite in the story though. Love the story all together, relate to the second character a lot though. Could go on a lot on how much I enjoyed this.

[@bananaice3469]

[@mpswims]

God. Tears were shed haha. The topic is something that I resenate with so much. Especially the part where he says “sorry I’m too...” and then thinks about saying “sad. help me” damn that hit home. Keep up the amazing work!

When they said “I’m sad” I thought of that vine.

[@nootbear]

This is my go-to video. I watch this and listen to it when I’m depressed, which is quite often. It speaks to me and no matter how many times I watch or listen to this song it never gets boring, or annoying. This song says things to me that I can’t even explain through words. I don’t know how to explain it. It doesn’t have a name but I can’t get enough of this.

Thank you lenabyn

[@Azekielangel]

oh, I didn't expect the day a character would be so much like me. I cried a lot watching this, a part of me was seen. I thought it was hard to understand or no one else could grasp it. Thank you for making Little Pickle Town:')) I never felt so comforted and understood until I watched the series.

[@Azekielangel]

Throughout the animatic, I can only see the girl I once knew so well in Monaco. The perfect girl who was surrounded by people and "friends", but still felt alone, exceptionally well at academics and extracurriculars, feminine, soft, known and loved, religious catholic, did everything to fit in, and the girl who is an "angel" She only did those just to fit in the world she knows and people loved that innocent, naive, awkward, clumsy girl. She knew she was surrounded by people who did things behind her back, yet, she tried to act like it doesn't bother her. She still stayed for the sake of fitting in the "persona" and "life" people crafted for her. She knew there was something wrong with her. People and even her family denied that, how could there be any defects in that "perfect girl"? She knew she felt out of place, stuck, and every night, she had episodes where the only thing she wishes is to be someone else, to restart, she wished for freedom, and the warmth of acceptance. That if one day, she did escape "life" A flower would be waiting for her, for the beautiful wings she have worked hard and fought for to become the butterfly she is now. That butterfly has flown away from the garden he once knew. He is still getting used to being a butterfly, trying out different wings, getting to know where he is comfortable flying with. Because, he met the flowers that were always waiting for him:)) LONG VENT AND RANT IF YOU SCROLL DOWN TO READ!!! I have transferred out from Science high school (which was really an elite school and what my family wanted), Before that, I was really ill in the hospital because I had TB (I went out to run in the storm and went to a bridge in the middle of my breakdown. Heartbreaks, friend issues, family issues, academics, and my inner self crisis was insane) and had to take a month off school, which unfortunately took a huge toll on my academic performance and journalism extracurricular. I cannot attend classes without an approval from a psychologist. So I went for a diagnosis and I have Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) (Though, I'm a minor, my mom told me I had a personality disorder:')) Little me just had his assumptions confirmed and won't question every night anymore what is wrong with him or why he is unlovable. My family, not wanting me to stop my learning, didn't want me to take a health break. We figured out to transfer to a regular school that was fitting for my mental health and could guide me unlike my old school. While I'm still not in school, that is where I learn more about myself, without outside influence. I was quite sad because not one of the "friends" reached out to me while I was gone and ill. Well, I guess it was my Gods (I'm a Helpol) will done unto me:))) I am glad they care for me a lot. I remember while I was running to the bridge, I prayed that I could have the freedom and know what is wrong with me. That if I'm gone, I could worship them and be the person I want to be in another life. They really said "why not now?" So, here I am. I'm now the man I wished to be, building and restarting my life again. I'm scared but excited for what is to come in my new school and the new person I am. Little me would be so happy and free that I finally accepted him and didn't deny him anymore. I am bigender(?) or transgender(?) but I am more of a man and dress feminine and masculine. I have always felt that way since I was young (11), the moment I started to get out of the closet, I loved it. But people around me hated it, so I did too. Then, now, I realized, how much I improved from before and didn't care about what others thought of me. Now, I'm out of the closet slowly. I'm turning 14 next year by January 3 :)) I know this is quite silly for a preteen like me, but this is how I feel and what I went through. I am trying to venture on my journey on my own and every thing is valid throughout. So, don't belittle or invalidate someone, just because they are young. If there is to change or to learn, I know there will be a right moment in my journey to find that out. I want to be a clinical psychologist with a private clinic, an animator (like the person who made this animatic)/artist, and an author someday. Let's keep on fighting and holding on!!! if anyone read all of this, I love u:')))

Character (sorry I can’t remember the name): binds with ace bandages Me: *ungodly screams*

If your transitioning and don’t have access to a binder you can put on a tank Top and flip the bottom up to make a safer binder than bandages

[@misssourpuss11]

Ever since I've found this video I've fallen in love with the song, the characters, and the overall plot. The song sounds so bittersweet but so beautiful. I would always come back to this video because the story suits so well with the song it might as well be yours. The thing I wanna get into is the more I listened to this song, the more I watched this video. It made me realize two things actually, the first is that even when we die, nothing changes. But at the same time you're still worth something. It made me feel hopeful and more well, worthy. The second is I kept thinking about that girl. Near the end when she bind up her chest, and wore a wig. I don't know why but I had so much respect for her. Maybe a little too much. Hehe imagine? Looking up to a fictional character? That's silly right..? Well, I gave it a shot. I bought a wig, I already had a tight bra to wear that makes my chest less noticable. I felt.. alive. I felt like I belong in this. I felt happier! I felt like I know who I was looking at in the mirror for once. As much as I loved how I looked on the outside, I didn't wanna *just* look like that all the time. I wanted to look like well a girl too! Y'know, wearing makeup, dresses, style my hair up into cute different styles. If only you could easily change your appearance with just a push of a button. Sometimes I wanna look a bit boyish and other times I wanna look girlish. Now I'm just kinda confused on what I am at this point.. for now I'm just vibing I guess. Hehe I'm excited for my binder to get here tomorrow. Yay~ ❤️

i love this song because it's so honest. it's basically saying "yeah the world will still turn without you but that doesn't mean people won't be sad or miss you"

[@totaltrashmammalbleugh]

Can I vent if thats okay? You can skip if this is too sensitive for u. So I have depression and last year I stopped school for awhile cause I was really in a bad state mentally and physically cause I od'd. Now im finally doing okay its been months since I was out in the psychiatric ward and im doing okay a lil but sometimes I still relapse. I have met new cool and nice friends from my new school but I have a lot of things to adjust since its a private school and before I went to public (im from the ph) and my one problem rn is my president and classmate she always make indirect comments about me and I really try my best to ignore it but I always fail and feel really down and after school cry about it. She's like this to everyone but sometimes I just feel like she's mostly doing it to me but idk must be because I have smth in my brain that made me think that im the only victim but yea I've been having troubles going to school sometimes not only because of the effects of my meds but just sometimes all her comments about me:,) anw thats it sorry it took way too long
