ikr!!!! he is such a character, but there are so few animations that show his point of view. i mean, I'm not surprised, once tommy is seen as the main character. i just want someone to animate his history in this server, his anarchist beliefs, how he was betrayed when they formed a new government in front of him, how everyone is now griefing his base and stealing his stuff. he seems to be just a murderer, but he's such a complex character with complex emotions

[@randomunoriginalname]

The problems or whatever you call it this family has: Techno: been blamed and hated by his lil brother (tommy) for his actions saying he blew up l’manberg and he’s a traitor even tho he said his reason to help and be on the server multiple times. His efforts to help his brothers (tommy and Wilbur) had gone to waste and was useless because he gave everyone supplies to over thrown the government but it was all a waste. He was ignored by everyone during his speech and no one cared about him until he started killing and when he brung out the withers. He was also forced to kill his adopted brother/friend (tubbo) because he was peer pressured and everyone was counting on him to do it due to stress from thousands of viewers and people in the smp. His stuff was ransacked and stolen. See his brother die by his fathers hands. Tommy: lost his discs lost his country 2 times (when shlatt revoked his permission to enter and stay in l’manberg and when techno brung the withers and when Wilbur blew it up). Was exiled from his own country because of his selfish desires to get his discs back. He watched his brother die (Wilbur) and saw his father stab his brother (Wilbur and dadza). Fought his brother (techno) and watched him bring more destruction to l’manberg. Was betrayed by his older brother and a friend (Wilbur and Eret) Pls tell me if there’s more I’ve only seen some of the POV of tommy and Wilbur I’ve only seen techno’s vods) Wilbur: died because his father stabbed him (Philza/Dadza). Blew up his country. Ignored his only son. Fought for independence for his country just so he could be exiled (I think) by his close friend (I think Wilbur and Jshlatt we’re close friends). Lost his bad memories. Betrayed his own country that he worked on. Became insane due to shlatt exiling him and some other stuff I don’t remember. Philza/dadza: killed his own flesh and blood. Saw his family crumble apart (I mean by crumble techno being treated as a traitor by his only alive brother that’s hated him alot. Kill his own son. And see fundy hate his father) Tubbo (adopted brother/ closes to family to tommy): was almost killed by his older brother (techno). See his country fall down and rise up to fall down again. See his eldest brother die by his fathers own hands. Was forced to exile his other brother (tommy) because of how much of a liability to the country he is. Same stuff as some of the problems or bad memories Wilbur and tommy has. Fundy: was ignored by his father and doesn’t know where his mother is. (This is all I know lol sorry if these things that I listed aren’t right pls just comment on my comment)

And Techno does care for the others but remember the last time he showed true care and love for Floof, yeah he died.

[@MattieBear]

@@audiosalix1780 Well, Philza does hang out with Techno a lot more than the others. Wilbur is also proof that Philza didn't care as much for the other two because Wilbur had said on stream something along the lines of "I hope Philza's proud of me" as that alludes to Wilbur always seeking the attention from his father that he never really did recieve.

This is absolutely incredible. I find that there's something so amazing about the SMP. I don't know what it is really, just the way I see all of these people coming together and creating a story that the fans take and piece together and collectively adore. The way we all experience the emotions together. It's left such a big impact on me personally, and I imagine others as well. And the way you captured it couldn't have been more perfect. The emotion, the highs and lows, the rising to the top and hitting rock bottom, power and the pain that comes with it. It's all so incredible. I felt a rollercoaster emotions from a five minute long animatic. This Minecraft server has become a work on art drawn by different creators coming together to make something truly special. It's a masterpiece. This is a masterpiece. Thank you so much for creating it. Not me getting emotional over a Minecraft server what do you mean-

Pilza walking with Techno is so GOOD! His anarchist son

[@quinnwalsh4096]

Not gonna lie, an animatic has never made me emotional before. But this one... something about the way you animate their expressions, and the way you show all the sides of their story... I'm legit crying. This is really well done. Good job

[@thenarnutdonut1373]

OH MG GOSH THIS IS SO FREAKING GOOD???? GOD THE COLORS THE COMPOSITION THE STORYTELLING THE DETAIL??? IM ON THE FLOOR, THIS IS SO GOOD!! LITERAL CHILLS OB MG GOD!!

[@nazrarain1452]

I love that all the characters in this animatic feel 3-Dimensional. They're not just the bad or good guys. They all have good and bad inside

[@molim441]

When they had said things about techno’s secret storage thing and how it brings back memory’s. You showed that in a cool way :) 2:50

[@chloehobson8125]

This is criminal underrated. The detail in this is mine blowing. The way Tubbo mouth so clearly says Tommy and when niki found the tnt. This is absolutely stunning

[@Nmoren]

Love the scene of techno and Phil in the snow

[@widowofshor]

welcome home, son, is genuinely one of my favorite songs ever and the fact that it was used in this so masterfully made me bawl. you're so skilled and this is just beautiful; your art style is amazing, and the transitions are so good, and it's so emotional- this is so amazing

[@ameliahicks]

This is honestly so spectacular. It captures the events perfectly combined with all of the emotions and friendships along the way added with the best song to use as a background. It was absolutely splendid; good job Frey.

[@freysai]

thank you!!!

[@bebopbang7268]

This animatic ironically fits as better as ever, tubbo and tommy reunited, another explosion defining their past, and another horrid adventure for the 20th.

[@findingthee6049]

I love how the song somehow works with it

[@kindatoogayforthis938]

watching tommy and tubbo scream for eachother at the festival broke me okay

[@yareyare9605]

I remember watching this when it was first posted and its already been more than 1 year holy cow----

[@halfpeace8002]

The moment when Philza and Fundy were sitting together and fishing at the end... I just drowned in tears and I still can't stop crying... it's just waaay too beatuiful, amazing job!! 💖

0 dislikes, as it should be. This is gorgeous.

[@four.muffinteers]

this animatic man- gives me the same chills as sad-ist but its more whats the word again? nostalgic. Instead of the hurt of the war n stuff, it feels more like sweet sadness in a sense. Then especially in this animatic, you truly see how much Tommy really has suffered throughout these 3 wars and how much he has done for the wars and sacrificed, you can see the reason why he's so angry at everyone for calling him selfish and telling him to sacrifice more when he believes that he's sacrificed so much already, in this animatic, you can truly see the pain and the reasoning behind his decisions and actions, and that just hurts to see it. Plus stan Ranboo for sticking up for Tommy when Tubbo (I think, i'm just starting to watch Tommy's stream of the exile and i have terrible memory) called Tommy selfish for trying to get his disks back after he believes the war is over and he can finally get the final thing of what he wanted. (I think, again, i have terrible memory). So i just wanna say DANGGGGG THIS ANIMATIC IS POGCHAMP. POG. CHAMP.

[@glitch5574]

This is so underrated I feel my brain hurt, partly because of the river I just cried

[@isabellamedeiros1781]

I was crying before anything happened, the song hits hard great choice, i've re-watched 37 times and it hurts the same or even more each time. Great job.

[@freysai]

37 times- dude thank you so so much oh my gosh

[@isabellamedeiros1781]

@@freysai and im here again this is amazing thank you for creating this masterpiece

[@werefright9445]

ohmygod DUDE THIS IS AMAZING!! Your layouts, storyboarding, everything!!! I’m so blown away by this it’s insane!! you perfectly captured everyone’s arcs in such a short amount of time and I also haven’t seen enough Tommy angst so this is a really nice change. Keep up the amazing work, wow :D

[@holly22972]

THIS IS AMAZING!!! That quick flash from Techno giving everyone gear to Eret in the bunker?? That was so good!!!!! Such a poetic thing that they both offered help before they turned out to be the “traitor” 🥺🥺 honestly this animatic hit me with all the feels
