[@EIiM0nz]

Omg, SO TOE TURLING🤯

[@viktorscathedral]

@@EIiM0nz is it wrong?? sorry, I don't remember the correct word, english isn't my first language. would you be so kind as to correct it? thanks in advance

[@EIiM0nz]

@@viktorscathedral oh, I’m sorry, I wasn’t aware English wasn’t your first language. You said toe turling instead of toe-curling. It was just one letter, honestly anybody who’s first language is English can make the same mistake.😅

[@인아윤-h7u]

Asha and Odgie were close friends in their youth, but as they grow older they walk different paths - Odgie accepted into a superior class of geniuses and elites, while Asha seethes as she strives in vain to reach Odgie's position. ( 0:53 from 0:55, see how the distance between the two grows bigger as Odgie is led away into a dream career, and Asha's face grows darker) There are two emotions that fight for dominance in Asha's mind. The first is love towards Odgie - their childhood memories and all the things Odgie did for Asha, like giving her the jewel as a gift. Also, it is undeniable that Asha has respect for Odgie - his beautiful mind and talent, his kindness to which she is forever grateful. (0:58 from 1:12, watch Asha struggle as she remembers the past - Odgie gives her a jewel, in hopes that it might help patch up their shaky relationship. And it worked for a while.) But in another moment she reels from outrageous jealousy. Look at 0:07 to 0:48. The privilege and honor to have a speech in the "great hall" of the College of Professors symbolizes this. How the spotlight is always on him, and she is cast into dark. How everyone gathers around him, not her. Interesting part - the line "as a poet and not just the muse" indicates how Odgie's works were fueled by inspiration from Asha, the muse. Also consider how Odgie brightens whenever he finds Asha, and always smiles at her. So up until the very end Odgie loves and trusts Asha, and cherishes their relationship. Poor Odgie. But back to Asha's inner turmoil. Who wins the fight, love or jealousy? Asha actually asks this question to herself( "What motivates me, is it hatred is it love?" ). The answer is both. 1:14 to 1:26, we see the jewel(the symbol of Asha and Odgie's happy memories) shattered, into razor-sharp shards. Asha finds her love to have been a lie, the barrier keeping her from throttling Odgie to have been flimsy. And the love she once poured into Odgie now is a weapon that can destroy him. But we're confused now, What do we mean by, killing someone because we love them? Look at the line "I don't want what you have, I want to be you." In the next scenes, Asha quite literally replaces all of Odgie. We can see that, to the driven-to-insanity Asha, loving Odgie equals craving to embody HIM. Love and jealousy intertwine into one, making Asha determine that she MUST PUSH Odgie out of the spotlight. Another interesting part - "what is more wrong, that I too wish to be great or my mother wished she'd had a more talented daughter?" Asha feels an instinctive wrongness in her jealousy, and tries to find something to blame. The question is, "should I feel guilty for trying to reach something that's not meant for me? Or, is the blame upon society(represented by her mother)? We don't get an answer for this one. Rather, the point of this line is that all her life Asha has been nothing but disappointment. And as she dreams of pride and honor(1:39 to 1:44), a sinister being ambushes Asha from behind. BASTET, the cat goddess that has been watching her from the very start of the video. I love how Bastet has the personality of one of those little devils in mythology, always lurking in the corner, watching you for the moment when it can drag you into evil and tarnish your soul. The ambush probably wasn't anything hostile, just Bastet getting a little overexcited to reveal herself. Bastet lures Asha to an empty chamber. Asha clearly doesn't trust Bastet, but nevertheless agrees to her terms. Some evil ritual begins, Asha sacrificing her blood. The surprise in her eyes when the chamber glows red might indicate that she didn't expect herself, and this ritual, to actually harm Odgie. But in the end it happens with a flick of a finger, Odgie crushed beneath a deadly weight and blood pouring from his body. Funnily, Asha is also bleeding all over. 2:34 reveals that the same pattern is carved into Asha and Odgie's wrists - they are truly connected like they never were before, and now Asha IS Odgie. At 2:59 we see an article - an accident at work RUINED career, not KILLED. So, hooray everyone, Odgie might still be alive! But who knows, maybe he did die and it's just hushed up. Either way, Asha feels guilty, but the agony is nothing compared to the insane happiness she feels from taking Odgie's place. Phew! That was a long journey. Thank you for bearing with me. Also, dear vvelvii, what kinds of traumatizing experiences do you have to go through to make masterpieces like this?

[@vvelvii3174]

HELLO??? HI????? HEY?? YOU ARE LITERALLY WROTE A WHOLE ESSAY ABOUT THEM TWO?? The way you analyse EVERY symbolism I put here make me GOES INSANE?!?? How much time did it take to write this??? I really enjoy reading how you described their feelings and relationship ‼️❤️ YAP YAP Mister-Odgie-unlucky-scientist is alive! Not in good health and mood, but alive! I SWEAR Im not traumatized I'm just artist whose brain consists of OCs🙏 Thank you so so so much for your comment! 🥺🥺

[@인아윤-h7u]

The artist and maker of the video themselves have graced me with a comment😳 I am close to tears!! I really don't deserve your praise, I'm nothing but an overly analytic student with too much time on my hands 🤣 Occasionally I find wonderful works of art like this on KZbin(bless the algorithm), and just HAVE to ramble and rave about it somewhere. Unfortunately, nobody around me has enough time and energy to listen through my lecture, so I post it here :) It was pure joy to discover the treasure trove of symbols and split-second pieces of lore. After thoroughly watching your video to analyze in my comment, I ended up with a huge maniacal grin on my face. I love those moments when the last puzzle piece fits in, and I finally witness the grand plan of it all. Writing this took me about 20 minutes, but every second was definitely worth it! ❤️❤️

[@ranjanajosan5420]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS AND YOU DESERVE THIS 56TH LIKE❤❤❤

[@mizzy718]

CHILLS WHEN SHE PULLS HIM OUT OF THE SPOTLIGHT TO REPLACE HIM OMG YOU'RE SO TALENTED!!! I love how you animate the in-betweens and fit the lyrics in so well to the frame. Everything about this is wonderful! Also, I can't get over the way you draw hands--I wish I could draw hands that shapely. And the line weight of every frame is so pleasing to look at!

[@Covellance]

2:36 goes absolutely crazy

[@starfriez622]

THIS IS SO GOOD, THE COMPOSITIONS, THE CONTRASTS, HOW EVERYTHING IS SO CLEAN, THE WORD-LYRIC COMPOSITIONS, THE DETAILS, THE EXPRESSIONS, EVERYTHING IS SO *CHEF KISS* AND THE USAGE OF THE RED?! MMMMMM

[@ayemc84]

I did find this in the most random way and I love your art style now

[@julydaydreamer404]

I have put this video on replay because it's SO GOOD! What drives me insane (in a good way) is how every time Odgie sees Aisha, his eyes light UP! He is just so happy to be around her, and you can see that Aisha is also sometimes purely happy with him, but her jealousy with his success and, what I am guessing, sense of inferiority over him being acknowledge just turns all that happiness into distorted jealousy. And I LOVE how Bastet is already lurking around Aisha since the lecture, just to caught Aisha when she is most vulnerable. Honestly, Aisha's DELIGHT seeing Odgie dead is kinda sad, but it also makes this whole video so interesting. I have seen plenty of OC animatics with this music, each with their own twists and turns, but this here is one of my favorite ones. I just LOVE how you make clear the conflict of admiration and jealousy, respect and hatred and the act of FINALLY getting what you desire, by whatever means necessary! IT'S ARGH, SO FUCKING GOOD!!!

[@vvelvii3174]

YOU CAN'T IMAGINE HOW HAPPY THAT COMMENT MADE ME😭😭🥺🥺 YOU NOTICE THE SMALLEST DETAILS that I put into this animatic!! Thank you 💘💘🥺

[@bellazlebub]

i want to let you know, my brother (typical 16 year old boy) thought OC animatics were cringe, so i went on a binge night of showing him a bunch. i hadn't seen this one yet, and i put it on the tv, and both of us stared in awe. he looked at me after, eyes wide, and said "i don't plan to ever watch more animatics unless you show me them, but THIS will probably be my favorite one no matter what." which is damn high praise from my pretentious brother so major kudos. the animatic was incredible.

[@perrytheplate]

Bro dropped the hardest Brutus animatic and thought we wouldn’t notice

[@ITSAvs]

I had to screamed HOLY SHITS a few times and GODDAMN because this SO GOOD WTF?

[@nutella564]

HOT DAMN you always choose the most fantastic songs for your animatics! this is FANTASITC

[@merusotajio2222]

I kinda feel bad for the guy 😭😭😭😭😭

[@nkm08]

It’s like the animatics you think of while listening to heavy songs like this, and you wanna transcribe your ocs to them. Exocet, you actually did it. No crumbs left. Like yiu actally projected it from your mind into animation.

[@ARTHLOLZ]

Genuinely scargfing this down. The line work and the composition and the rhythmic choices of switching panels and the little storytelling details. I probably didn't catch everything but Bastet tugging at the red string and it being correlated to the ropes holding the crate is AHHHHHHHH

[@ARTHLOLZ]

Did I already say composition? CAUSE THAT WAS AMZAZNN. And everyone mentioned this but that spotlight? Like she literally yanked him? SO COOOOOOOOl

[@dogtaghope3982]

That scene with the spotlight at the end, CHILLING! The glitching, her smile, the feet sticking in from the shadows. Chef's kiss

[@tapebuu7064]

I’m not an artist, but DAMN this animation is just incredible. It expresses the girl’s jealousy and hunger as the animation conveys her desires, her twisted sense of admiration. The bodylangauge, the gazes, the expressions, it just shows the effort you bring into this. The story was perfect, as well as this animation. Love it!

[@aigobouido]

every motion/animated gesture in this animatic is just fucking fantastic and so good at conveying emotion and their respective personalities...! really love the typography too. the incorporation of tweening in the editing is positively wonderful. I could gush about this video all day...

[@viridia1526]

Had writers block and was missing something in my story, this animatic and song clicked something into place for me. Beautiful.

[@Cherr4t]

I HAVE WATCHED THIS SO MUCH AND SHE FUCKING RUBS HER WRIST AT THE STARTISH PART WHEN SHES TAPPING THE TABLE AT THE LECTURE. It could be seen as a self comfort method, yet it is absolutely beautiful foreshadowing to when Aisha makes the circle and she’s standing in the background as Basete makes the circle. Ugh it’s beautiful 🥹🥹

[@TheUnfamiliarPoet]

AAAA this is so good!!! I love the end where she has replaced everything that he once was, leaving no trace of him behind! Really shows that he was expendable, and so is she, but she doesn’t realise it yet!

[@DaisyLei-ri3sb]

i can't even take it anymore this is too good to be true like THE STORYTELLING??? THE ART STYLE?? THE FLUIDITY OF THE ANIMATION??? THE HELLA GOOD SONG?? I don't know why this isn't breaking the internet already when it's THIS GOOD

[@memon_lelon]

I loved the ending with the spotlight! When she dragged him to the shadows, to stand in the spotlight instead of him! Amazing work!

[@Sleep1ng_Panda]

ALL OF THE TRANSITIONS WERE INSANE OMG BUT SOME OF THEM- BRO HOWD YOU EVEN SOME UP WITH THOSE- OMG THIS WAS A BLESSING TO WATCH

[@samminh_]

omg this is the most stunning animatic i’ve seen in recent years… THE COMPOSITION! THE STORY! amazing thank you for blessing us

[@priss8191]

bro dropped the coldest animatic and left us with no blankets on a serious note, this is brilliant!! the cinematography leaves me speechless and the way Aisha's jealousy is conveyed is truly beautiful, the conflict between her moments of joy with Odgie, compared to her moments of jealousy that eats her alive is amazing. never seen an animatic quite like this! 👏

[@berriedstraw5011]

BRO. I love your art style and the camera angles along with the text are SO GOOD THE COMPOSITION IS AMAZINF AHH. When Bastet pulled the string and it broke the rope ✋😭 I love this

its interesting cus in ancient egyptian mythology, bastet (goddess of fertility and cats) and sekhmaet (goddess of destruction and war) are two sides to the same goddess; and here the cat woman is cheering aisha on to kill odgie, inciting chaos

[@seastorm14]

2:36 OMFG THE GENIUS OF THIS PART IS- IT SO GOOD

[@K1ngofmisfits]

This is insanely underrated, deserves so many more views, and I gotta say to the smooth animatic, to the way the facial expressions and emotions are conveyed, to everything this is absolutely SCRUMPTIOUS!!

[@o0brabble0o]

This is genuinely insane omg it's so GOOD

[@xcdirt]

omggg i havent seen such a good oc animatic is so long

[@روانتوس]

I love this so much... I've been analysing it for a bit, and along with noticing a few hidden details (such as Bastet appearing next to Aisha at 0:36), i've also gotten a good grasp of the story (which I LOVE- it literally sent chills down my spine). The biggest question though, is what was Bastet's intentions? Why did she approach Aisha and, after seemingly observing her for a long time, take advantage of her jealousy towards Odgie to kill him? We can see that Aisha's blood was the sacrifice used for whatever black magic-esque ritual was going on to kill Odgie, so was it perhaps that Bastet's blood wouldn't work, and that Aisha's blood was special (or it could the the other way around, perhaps Bastet's blood wouldnt have worked, since she seems to be a different species, so she tried to find someone who disliked Odgie, which was probably difficult, since everybody seemed to love him). I theorise that Bastet's motives were likely something political, or perhaps Odgie was too talented of a scientist and was finding out too much? Maybe it's something related to those stones that we keep seeing, the red-outlined ones like the one at 1:04. Anyways, I genuinely love these characters and the art so much! This literally gives me chills everytime I watch it- you're so talented! I'm definitely subscribing.

DAMMMNNNN THIS IS SO COOL, THE LORE OF YOUR OCS ARE SO GOOODDD 😭😭

[@mariahanczewska8109]

In the description you asked for theories, so I'm happy to share mine. I don't know how the storyline would have turned out-or if you wrote a sequel at all, after all the OCs may have gotten boring for you or you're preoccupied with something else, I write myself so I know how it is-but my theory is that Aisha will never fully succeed in taking Odgie's place because his death is her death. Firstly, the injuries that Aisha received after performing the ritual are similar (smaller, much smaller but still) to those of Odgie, and during the ritual itself, the same symbol appeared on the wrists of both of them. Odgie survived the accident(by some miracle-perhaps Bastet, a trickster-type character, instead of bringing about the death of both of them for her own amusement, keeps the envious Aisha alive to toying with her struggles?), and the ritual circle was made not with his blood, but with Aisha's blood. The very fact that with her blood Bastet influenced Odgie's fate already proves something. Secondly- Aisha herself states that she and Odgie are ‘brothers from the same womb’ and ‘in spirit’, so she also notes this connection. Thirdly- after the accident, Aisha replaces Odgie(in the lecture hall, in the portrait, in the spotlight: 2:37-2:40) but not really, because, in the scene with the spotlight, his body is not completely hidden in the shadows (his feets stick out), in the newspaper there is no information about his death ( but only about his destroyed career- if he was dead, it would have been made clear). On top of this, while there was a crowd gathered around Odgi(0:45), Aisha is alone in the lecture theatre(2:44)-she didn't want to be in Odgie's place just to be(maybe partially- yes) but also for others to treat her the same way they treated him (with sympathy, interest, admiration), so what's the point of taking his place if she doesn't get the reactions from people that she would have liked?At the time of the speech, in the corridor, she is not surrounded by a garland of people wanting to talk to her: she is alone, still tormented by something (that redness inside her figure). A sense of guilt? Anxiety that, since Odgie is not dead, she might lose her position? Envy that, although she has taken his place, she has not ‘taken over’ the affection and kindness that others had for Odgie? Fourthly- "frater meus" means "my brother", see paragraph with "spirit of the same womb". I know, it was in song but still! I think Bastet is willingly not killing- only renders disabled as a result of an "accident"-Odgie: due to magic of symbol, threads of destiny(the severing of the red thread also harmed Aisha, just look at her injuries after the ritual, that black eye is more than the result of blood being dropped from her wrist) and the bond between the two(it's not even about emotion anymore- Aisha's jealousy probably overrode that- but the aforementioned arguments about bonding, ‘kinship’ and so on, in magic it matters, I guess) Odgie's death means death for Aisha. Apart from the fact that killing the object of one's envy is unlikely to have much of a good effect on Aisha(she is happy, but someone who envies to this degree cannot be satisfied in the long run: besides, with Odgie gone are the moments of true joy - at the moment of the gift of the jewel, it is clear that, despite everything, she felt happiness in his presence), so his demise is or would be also hers, Bastet didn't kill Odgie by causing accident, because such a trickster, I think, would like to have plaything(Aisha and her envy) for a little bit longer. Aisha will never be free of Odgie because it would mean end for her.

[@lenhano]

DUDEEEE THIS ABSOLUTELY GOES HARD🔥🔥🔥 the story telling with this song is done so well!! I keep going back and looking at the imagery
