I don't own the music, the characters, or the story; just the animation and art.

[@enteriris8945]

This tastes like just, so many things. It's like if the lemonade you drank turned into twelve different lemonades after you put it in your mouth.

[@atlasofgalaxies]

I am utterly obsessed with this phrasing

[@smallscalestudio7520]

Costco lemonade?

[@bhbvh4904]

Oh god the ending, I thought it was just a scene of them being relatively happy but nope, the KNIFE

[@katbailey1334]

RIGHT?? I was like awww cuties-- WAIT

[@Addy_The_Baddy]

Damn we all do have the same music taste in this fandom huh

[@lilaboxx]

I recently found this song in a villain playlist and it's so good

[@alism9832]

Ahh "honeycomb" with Jane Prentiss! And the eyes+wings Jon had after murdering Jonah! This is great!!

[@imnotanartist4401]

the way he defeatedly hold up his rib at 1:39 is such a mood. Also Melanie and Helen just looking down at him amuses me so much.

[@spookyguy8099]

My brain is just repeating the phrase "GROWL SNARL BARK" over and over. Good job! This has officially turned me into a rabid dog.

[@honeysbees125]

MOOD This animation has officially stolen my humanity actually

[@kezkriune]

@@honeysbees125 y’all got huntized.

[@oasisheadspace9410]

hi as someone with synesthesia, i have something to say how the hell did you make this taste like cobwebs 1. very fitting for this show 2. i have never tasted cobwebs edit: this is BEAUTIFUL by the way!!! you deserve so much praise for this!!!

[@libby1362]

Nice pfp

[@oasisheadspace9410]

@@libby1362 thanks same w/ u

[@lakefish7743]

oh my god what have you started in me

[@robbiefroggy8568]

wait that's interesting, it was like artificial grape flavor but it had a layer of dust? like a stale jolly rancher for me

[@jasper_apologist]

for me this tastes like wood, but like, in a good way? really sets the tone

[@YanAnimatics]

YOU DREW THIS UP (IN COLOUR?!?) TO EP 200??? WHICH ENDED ONLY A FEW DAYS AGO??? YOU ABSOLUTE MADLAD I CAN'T BELIEVE IT IT LOOKS SO GOOD

[@amn1323]

Hell yeah, this is brilliant! The way Jon gets wings made out of eyes when he becomes the pupil is brilliant! And the end just absolutely rips my heart out..

[@twigthetroll9279]

"Who could ever hurt you? Who could be so cold?" **glares at Jonny**

[@AWhite-kl4rb]

The ending stabbed me in the heart through my back [pun half intended]

[@rrammay]

God I love the editing in this. I don't even listen to the Magnus Archives but whenever I spot such polished and elaborate videos, I just have to watch them

[@Saffron-mb8mp]

Jane.... my horrible worm wife...... Most amvs don't show her much but I really liked her frame! This all firs so well, you clearly put a lot of effort into it, and a great song pic! Love seeing Jon getting marked in this sweet sounding song about bad things happening. Love it

[@rory1336]

The thought that the two ribs that he lost were the ones right over his heart... Damn

[@rumaddzero9100]

I like how Jonah Magnus got his own little content warning

[@WaluigisBulge]

Was not expecting to find the scary jokes in a TMA video. Pleasant surprise

[@gracewisnosky6903]

Wow Miles! This is so beautiful! You've actually inspired me to get into the Magnus Archives, if just so I could understand this animatic. That's when you know something is good.

[@atlasofgalaxies]

:DDD AHH that's so good to hear!! thank you! I'm always incredibly honored whenever I hear about someone getting into something because of my work

[@averyfields8183]

​@@atlasofgalaxies come backkkkk

[@fricklefracklefloof]

THE SOFT LYRICS PAIRED WITH THE ANGSTIEST SHIT EVER UGHHHHHHHHHHHH I LOVE THIS I LOVE THE EDITING JUST... EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS

[@rubyj3287]

That freaking ending is just beautiful

[@kevincanavan2440]

Nikola always looks so fabulous in animatics. Absolutely in love with the way you used this song’s lyrics!

[@kball4737]

The frame with 'arrogance'... Incredible

[@ThornArgentine]

And "a false sense of immunity" on Jonah

[@gc6929]

Whats this!?!?!? A podcast I adore and a song I'm obsessed with in the crossover I never knew I needed!!!?! Seriously I was scrolling for community gardens animations and I saw this & was like NO WAY. This is chef's kiss I am delighted and my brain has momentarily stopped functioning, in a good way. Also Jane Prentiss saying "you honeycomb" made me snort, I did not expect it but I Loved it. And the way Not-Them's arm comes out of one frame and grabs onto the other, with the foreshortening?? Holy SHit. Your Melanie design always gives my brain some much needed dopamine. And the ending!?! I am experiencing shrimp emotions op. (also I recognize your art style from Tumblr, & while I didn't get around to leaving a comment on it, that comic of the pre-flesh attack ep where the dialogue was so on point that everyone thought it was from the show? TOP TIER. Congrats on making me go feral Twice.)

[@atlasofgalaxies]

ahhh thank you so much for the kind words on both this and the comic!!

[@Elliot-qm3uh]

this tastes like chocolate ice-cream, but then finding out it has bitter nuts in it when you hoped they were small brownies.

[@Silliest-guy-the-ever]

i love helen’s text bubble (i wouldn’t have been able to read it without the music) but like idk it’s confusing and i love it

[@user-lz6zm2xi8i]

the art style is so good, and the animation is so smooth, and the ENDING KILLED ME, and love it so so much mwah great animatic

[@revededragonnette3864]

oh wow I had to pause every frame to enjoy the animatic, it's brilliant, love the bit with all the characters that slowly change/ disappear and the end . So bittersweet, cheers c:

[@teacup2775]

THE WORD “YOU” IN THE FINAL BLOOD SPLASH AAAGH

[@Thermodynamic_Lawyer]

i love how elias's name changes to Jonah when the eye opens

[@typervoxilations2311]

there comes a time where i have to ask myself is there ever going to be a tma animation that isn't going to make me cry and i already know the answer is no, never

[@miloformiles]

WHAT THE HECK I HAVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT THSI SONG IN CONJUCTION WITH THIS SINCE MAG 200

[@snarkywallflower5829]

Oh my god. I think I’m in love with this animatic.

[@feathersoffancy8988]

Oh my god, this hit me harder emotionally than the finale of the whole damn podcast, woah... I love this song and your art just made it even harder. My jaw was genuinely dropped at the end😅amazing job!! I love it

[@borderlinenocturnal6195]

the character designs are sooo pretty in your art style ESPECIALLY TIM and elias and also jon's hair aaaaaaaa i love it i love it

[@Star-eg3qt]

I love the jazz era design

[@drownedtrashrat3501]

[@_kai2702]

[@sanddall-asy9310]

Gosh, I've rewatched this quite often. It's so well done!

[@r_kinesis8860]

OOGA BOOGA MILES ART HAS ARRIVED ONCE MORE!!! GOD I WISH I COULD GET INTO THE MAGNUS ARCHIVES TO SEE THE HYPE BUT PERHAPS LATER.......... BUT HOLY SHIT I'M FOAMING AT THE MOUTH OF THAT VISUAL IN 1:34!! THE TRANSITIONS ARE SO SEXY AS WELL!! GJ ON THIS

[@atlasofgalaxies]

THANK U KINI!! i'll get u into another one of my hyperfixations yet

[@aurisb3800]

Bro I was not emotionally equipped for the end

[@jhouvic]

The eye closed, the video ended, and I hit replay - AND THEN THE EYE OPENED AGAIN. THAT’S SO COOL!

[@honhonhhyee1137]

Thank you youtube 2022 recap, for letting me know that I've watched this at least 36 times. I think that speaks for itself lmao, very good pmv :)

[@julialungan4722]

This is the animation that got me to listen to TMA, thanks for that, im now addicted and saving every animation in my recomanded lol

Genuinely I was happy stimming this entire time and I’m going to watch it again, this was so beautiful and lovely and perfect and- shxnshd thank you so much for making this!!!! The scenes you chose for each part of this song are exquisite, the part at 0:18 where time passes and each character changes and tim and sasha were covered by X’s made me tear up a bit, and the part with Michael????? Seriously I think this is my new favorite video on KZbin and I want to like this ten million times, thank you

[@Rippleskip]

commenting again because i needed to add more, the scene with the heartbeat and then Jon’s eye wings- it gave me actual chills, and all of this is honestly so lovely thank you for making this!!!!

This is amazing!!!! All the movement makes it feel so alive I love it ❤

[@MarchingCat33]

So this is absolutely slamming me with all the feelings of the podcast but I flinched so bad at the little 'you' at the end in a bloodspray as the music dies, thanks for this, that's my feelings for the week

[@Thermodynamic_Lawyer]

this is such a delicious song and animatic

[@NylonGenesis]

CRYING. TEARS. SOBBING. CRYIN LOUDER. FUCK THIS IS SO GOOD

[@rilo777]

This was mesmerising and the choices for where you used black, white and grey vs colour really stands out and sets the atmosphere. I've just been watching this over and over!

[@lachlanmccormick3486]

I love that ending, it's exactly how I imagine they did it.

[@tbodole]

Not me being halfway through S3 and being super confused but loving the spoilers regardless. This was beautiful

[@namehere7309]

i was literally just listening to this song and was like "Ha ha this is so tma" and found this

[@DallasTheLad]

EVERY FRAME IS SO INCREDIBLY GOOD NOT A SINGLE COMPLAINT

[@glassthelocalgremlin9521]

hello i'm gushing over an animatic again- the yellow flash in the beginning with the eyes and the nameplate changing? so cool. your younger jon design is nice. the sliding panels is a very neat effect! the archive staff changing as the story progresses... MAN it's beautiful and brilliant but it *hurts*. i kept pausing that bit just to watch them change. poor michael shelley, man. also the coloring and spiral overlay in that bit is Very Cool. baby jon with "a guest for mr spider"! "you honeycomb" with jane prentiss,,, the flesh hive,,, you're a GENIUS "be so cold" as the not-them reached out and sasha's face disappears into static... the frame going fully greyscale... ugh i Love It i love all the scenes with the triple panels so much, they're beautiful. your nikola strikes the perfect balance between creepy and innocent-looking. it matches her voice perfectly. explosion effect is very neat OKAY YOU DIDN'T NEED TO HURT ME WITH MARTIN NEXT TO JON'S COMA BED the watcher's crown matched up with this lyrics is another genius timing move. also, i love the way the panopticon is literally watching jon and martin. EYES SWIRLING AROUND JONAH,,, the purple lightning in the bit with spider!annabelle adds a very important Something to it. what that is, i don't even know. it just does. the green lighting in the panopticon! honestly all your choices of color palette for various scenes are great the eye-wings and eye-halo jon gets when he becomes the pupil are neat af why did i laugh at jon facedown on the floor holding up his rib HELLO THE PANEL AT 1:45 WITH MARTIN AND THE LONELY FOG AND THE RECORDERS ON THE COFFIN,,, the scene in the lonely! my heart! ooh,,, melanie,,, that scene hurts "the years have been hard on this *lonely heart*" was that intentional there? ughh in the last scene they look almost happy for just a moment,,, then the knife and the spray of blood behind the "you"... hurts almost as much as the pod did.

[@spiderFern]

I love your drawings and the transitions you use! And the effects like the Lonely mist and eyes opening are amazing!

[@EdBlMo]

YESSS!!! SOMEONE FINALLY DID WHAT I IMAGINE in the parts like:You will be fine,you honeycomb/honeypie,I always imagine something bad happening at these moments of the song :D

[@wewoowewoo5015]

nah the fact you wrote "jonah magnus" as one of the content warnings is legit hilarious

[@averycushmore7485]

[@rayethequeerdo]

me: oo this looks interesting, i recognize the artist, what could go wrong? *2.5 minutes later* me: I WILL CRY- i loved this so much and how at 0:17 you can see the characters individual arcs throughout the whole thing and how the first line of the song (0:00) fits elias so perfectly and the overall comic book-ish style and the endingggggg aaaaa /pos

[@BatsNBirds]

This has long time been a tma jam for me! Thanks for the beautiful video

[@swaggboiii9528]

oh no the feelings :( but sadness beside, the editing in this alone is fucken stellar! gj!

This is like if you washed your clothes and they came out tye dyed. Like this is my suit how am I supposed to wear this to my wedding I can’t believe you, you inanimate object meant to wash my clothes. Then you just put it on anyways cause it’s like a layer of fancy.

[@scaredybat4720]

JUST HERE TO TELL YOU THIS IS FANTASTIC AND I LOVE IT
