Come Little Children/Hanging Tree Gravity falls animatic

[@LuminaXandra]

Here's the story for everyone who is wondering Dipper is a cursed child (Constellation birthmark) and every child who is cursed if found out will immediately be killed by hanging them on the sacred Hanging tree said to purify the souls of the damned. It's a witch hunt but to every person with the birthmark but the kicker is that there was a cult in that town but it wasn't for the cursed children. It was the Cult of the All Seeing Eye, led by one William Cipher, who was Married to a Hidden Cursed Child (who was found out and killed) The Cult leader seeks revenge on the Killers of the Cursed Children and offers their blood to the "Hanging tree" who has witnessed all the deaths of the Cursed Children and grants the Cult leader a Boon, The soul of his Lover in exchange for his Immortal Soul.

Shit It's more sad than I thought. (And has meaning now. I don't know what I was thinking about)

[@randomuserudidntknowexisted]

So is dippers soul meeting the cured childern in heaven on earth before they die or is he trying to protect them. And this is really well done, the story is great.

[@sweetdarkskys5502]

This is amazing!

[@TheGrandSilence]

And I thought my storys were depressing, but great as allways anyway keep up you amazing work

[@alexisfischer1831]

I hope the person who comissioned this has a fanfiction for it cuz I would LOVE to read it.

Could it be? A Steven Universe reference in a Gravity Falls video?

OUR PRAYERS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED!!!!!! PRASE THE LORD!!!!!!!!!!

[@Platosidekick]

I forgot that dipper's real name is mason and was like "did they add an oc that bill fell in love with before dipper?" Your description also helped because if no one knew about the birth mark, he wouldn't be dipper. I don't know if that's what you meant but that's what I got out of it. Good animatic

"Woop here comes mama!" "Look at these cuties!" "Look the hot guy" Not very helpful captions

“Woop here comes mama” “Look at these cuties

[@lilidasty]

Okay. OKAY NO I'M NOT OKAY. THAT FIRST DIPPER... GOD, IT WAS MESMERISING. I know it's commission, but look at it. It has amazing atmosphere, you can clearly see Bill's sorrow and his Will to bring Dipper back. It was really good, I almost cried. I like how you showed us that Dipp is dead. I guess that these children were souls? q-q okay, I will cry a little bit... Bill got some strong determination, but I feel so sorry for him. Pretty awesome and cool, keep going, sis! 😆

[@sarahemilywalker5642]

This actually made sense you have a very beautiful imagination.

I love this video man

[@goldengirl5472]

This was an incredible animatic, it works so well with the lyrics and the style... God, I never have really thought BillDip works outside most fanon, but damn, this is one of the versions where it *works.* The subtle designs and parallels were gorgeous and fuckin hell, the "William Cypher" look is incredible!

[@risdiyantosyam2163]

You can just call him "will cipher"

[@nickelwickhart1881]

CAN YOU PLEASE DO THE PLAGUES SONG BETWEEN DIPPER AND MABLE?!?!?! THAT WOULD BE SO EPIC!

[@LuminaXandra]

Maybe, no promises tho

[@nickelwickhart1881]

Thank you! Even if you don't do it, I just want to say I love your work so much.

I was not expecting to cry. Dang it I'm sending this to my friends. If I look a hot mess with mascara staining my eyes and then so will they.

[@maggotron5000]

I👏🏼LIVE👏🏼FOR👏🏼YOUR👏🏼ANIMATICS

[@yourfriendlyneighborhoodwa54]

I keep coming back to your animatics now. I know most of the songs, but the animatics are so unique!! (Also am I the only one who thinks Dipper looks slightly feminine in almost every lumina xandra animatic?? Not saying I have a problem with it, I actually like it.)

[@fizz436]

Lumina xandra?

[@fizz436]

Oh shit sorry I’m just stupid

[@angelicqueen9363]

I was so confused by the end of this till I read what was going on. It was like a “what the fuck” moment for me but a very good one. Like seriously, if you made more like this I wouldn’t be against because it just freaking great story told by an amazing artist. Please never stop but remember to always take a break. I hope you have a great day, love you as always!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@blackfur2075]

[@elysiumrose7658]

The animatics and the time you put into them, such detail - not only in art but even in the story! - astound me! ♥️♥️

[@captianlevi2392]

This was amazing, I love how you combined the 2 songs together. It sounds as though it is one song, which is amazing that you where able to do that.

[@LuminaXandra]

It wasnt me 😂 The perso who made the song is in the description

[@captianlevi2392]

Oh no I know who made the songs, but that fact that it was made to were ut sounded like one is amazing

[@amberagagnier6824]

What is this song from? And wait...did you say song*S*!? Is there two songs in this anamatic? I can't find any comments about the song besides how much people love IT and how IT'S their favourite.

[@moniquecampbell-mason8747]

@@amberagagnier6824 Yes it is in fact two songs. Come Little Children came from the 1993 movie Hocus Pocus and Hanging Tree(the song not the movie) was written by James Newton Howard sung by Jennifer Lawrence for the movie the Hunger Games: MockingJay part 1.

[@thats.a.sketch]

THE MUSIC!!! The music and the animation together is FLAWLESS!

[@jagirl966]

I didn't get the story behind this until I read the comment from the creator and now my heart is breaking. EDIT: I love your art style

Hhhhh, a combination of The Hanging Tree and Come Little Children is super eerie, I love it.

[@ktfinnst3796]

I love when Dipper waves bye to the kid and picks up the flowers

[@gingadreamurr6238]

Absolutely beautiful! I’ve been watching animations for a long time, but this is something new!

[@catarinanotte7246]

I know that Lumina explained it, but my theory is: Dipper is The Death, and he and Bill are in love. Bill is killing children that suffer abuse as a gift to Dipper so he can take these children to a better place. So Bill is doing the "bad" job to let Dipper happy because Dipper hate to see these children sad in their homes and can not do anything to help, and when they are dead, Dipper can take care of them. In the final, when Dipper "possess" Bill, it means that Bill's job is done, and they both can stay together. I'm sorry if it got confused, I'm Brazilian and cannot judge if it's everything right. Kisses!

[@creativegearsfilms3573]

This is so cool! It was memorizing and mystery and, ugh, I don’t know how to describe it. Ever since I heard this cover of the song I knew there was a story there but I couldn’t find it. After hearing this song paired with the gorgeous images you’ve created I think I finally found it. Thank you SO much!!!!!

[@user-ol5md2mx5o]

I love how the animatic has a story that goes with the song it’s rare that animatics to this most have non or one that isn’t very original but your story is one I’ve never seen it’s beautiful

[@lilthprescot3291]

This video gives me a strange sense of security, most people don't have this, the message may be vague but it shows a lot about people, by luring the children away he was trying to prevent them from living a very terrible life that could have turned them into morden day monsters
