Bird Song - BNHA Animatic

Song: Florence and the Machine - Bird Song
I spent 2 weeks working on this animatic, but it was worth it. It's been a long time since I did anything like this and I'm glad that I came back to it.

EDIT: Becuase I get a lot of comments asking what this video is about, here is the short version; it's based off my fanfic 'demise fo midoriya izuku' which followes the events of 'what if izuku attmepted suicide due to bakugou's words' while the mian story is centered around izuku's healing and recovery in the psych ward, there is a side story showing bakugou's fears and nightmares due to his guilt over what happened and so this animatic is focused around bakugou's fear, with the bird/izuku being a manifestation of his worst nightmare - being exposed for what he did.

I've actually read the Demise!au series on AO3 and it still one of my favorite BNHA stories to date. Sassy Izuku is best Izuku. And I totally saw the whole scene from the second story of the series with Bakugou playing out just like the story and it's always great to see a great scene animated because the words and your imagination can only do so much. Basically, I'm saying I loved this video. Well done.

Can you pls explain the au

[@daniellepettway5009]

@@soulsaversaras.r.s3956 Basically it's an Au where Izuku took Bakugou's advice and jumped off the school roof and survired. He wakes up in a mental hospital and it's just chapters on his recovery. It's really a great series.

moral of the story: bully broccoli boy and you will throw up a bird

[@shadowofthepast2260]

Well I didn't tell anyone, but a bird flew by. Saw what I'd done. He set up a nest outside, and he sang about what I'd become. He sang so loud, sang so clear. I was afraid all the neighbours would hear, So I invited him in, just to reason with him. I promised I wouldn't do it again. But he sang louder and louder inside the house, And no I couldn't get him out. So I trapped him under a cardboard box. stood on it to make him stop. I picked up the bird and above the din I said "That's the last song you'll ever sing". Held him down, broke his neck, Taught him a lesson he wouldn't forget. But in my dreams began to creep that old familiar tweet tweet tweet I opened my mouth to scream and shout, I waved my arms and flapped about. But I couldn't scream and I couldn't shout, couldn't scream and I couldn't shout. I opened my mouth to scream and shout waved my arms and flapped about But I couldn't scream I couldn't shout, The song was coming from my mouth. From my mouth, From my mouth, From my mouth. From my mouth, From my mouth, From my mouth, From my mouth. From my mouth. From my mouth. From my mouth. From my mouth. From my mouth, From my mouth, From my mouth, From my mouth.
