Effieltornet - Mouthwashing animatic

[@yes-ch4ek]

i like the detail that daisuke is still climbing up his ladder while swansea and anya are just like. stuck on theirs

[@spxcesoda]

ohhh, how i see it is that it’s representing how daisuke had so much ahead of him while anya and swansea were stuck in life: anya being not able to achieve her dream in becoming a nurse and swansea not feeling fulfilled in life (i think??? it’s been a while)

I love how you encapsulated Jimmy's petty obsession and jealousy over Curly's success. Having Jimmy act like some lord over the captain only for the consequences to throw him through the wringer is awesome!

[@eliottdeletraz97]

what i understand through the game is that Jimmy was so down psychologicaly that he wanted to end his life, not caring about the others that he think they are looking down on him. And when Curly got hurt instead, he found here a opportunity to be the highest of all of the crew and do the decisions and, by the same occasion, having some morbid fun with the guy who he was jealous to. He becomes so delusional that he believes that he arranged things, but he actually made things even worse, ending up killing people. When he realised the gravity of his actions and what that led to, he tried to peruate himself by saying that all of this was an accident (he denies everything he has done because he believed he was the main victime in all of this), but he finally decided to save the captain and end his own life.

[@angelofmusic1992]

I love when a character’s spiral into insanity is shown as a musical number, it always works so well and this is no exception. The song totally fits and I love how you drew all the characters. Especially love Daisuke’s design, I feel like it really shows how young he was compared to everybody else.

[@debbiewong6539]

I also love how even though it’s not literally them we still get to have the catharsis of the characters that side character has hurt just getting to torment him or her for a while I’ve always loved stuff like that because it’s always just so much fun for me I don’t know why

[@MatieM80]

0:12 I find it ironic that he says “I get overlooked” and pays no attention to Anya.

[@whackinator]

I’m always so obsessed with your cartoon-ification of characters. My favorite part of these ones is how Daisuke is very small and noodly and Swansea is very large and tough, which REALLY helps emphasize the young, carefree intern vs. old, pessimistic expert dynamic

Jimmy's doing the "Get everyone killed ANY%" Speedrun, he didn't want to waste any time.

[@책잘읽어주는누나]

AND THE CROWD SOBS HYSTERICALLY!!! 🗣🗣🗣 /pos The way Daisuke looks especially younger and more lively compared to the others around him... He still had so much potential in his life, like the symbolism of him being the one still climbing the ladder while others are stuck on it. CRYING. FANTASTIC.

[@Cupida91]

1:04 I love the subtle horror of Curly being stuck powerless on the bed while the crew slowly drives themselves away to their deaths (mainly because of jimmy)

[@GhostToast-wh8to]

I like the fact when Jimmy is dropped onto the roller coaster thing with the three dead people haunting him. Anya puts her hands on his shoulders, I know it ain’t much but now she’s the one in control and is able to touch him and he isn’t able to fight back. Also in the beginning after Jimmy presses the button, and it’s shown Curly saw the images flash. Imagine that was telling him what was gonna happen, but the plane crashed and then he couldn’t talk. And only stay still while everyone around him died

[@sinnamonshoggoth2928]

I love love love that this takes place almost entirely in the weird hallucination dream spaces of the game it’s such a clever way to make sense of the musical number happening.

[@fweakysimon]

0:46 curly was like :0

[@Nazgul100]

This is awesome, and I really love how to took the hopeful part of the song where "I hope youll stop me" and twist it to fit Jimmys fucked up view Jimmy seems to have in parts of the story where he blames blames the captain for not stopping him because the crew and their actions are "his responsibility".

[@oopsalleyes]

Oooo I love how when the song talks about being overlooked we see Anya and when it says mislead it shows Swansea. It both feels like Jimmy’s stomping down the hallway throwing a tantrum over Curly’s perceived slights, while also in the background you see the REAL harm Curly’s leadership has enabled Love how the corpses of the crew and Curly-post accident don’t feel like they’re characters, but just whatever Jimmy thinks of them and wants to project onto them. Because they don’t have agency anymore.

[@Garf-the-true-and-evil]

I love this especially how loud daisuke’s body language is And Swansea giving a thumbs up after daisuke pushes jimmy off the coaster And also the little bounce in the “intro” when he lifts up his welding hood thing Jimmy being jealous because the intern is amazing Can’t even be mad you drew jimbo because everyone else is having unrestrained summer fun tormenting him

[@gabbycotto4024]

This is the best Mouthwahing animatic made to date. The seamless transition of the song from starting as Jimmy’s spiteful vow to drag Curly down with him to becoming a heckling by the ghosts of everyone he hurt is nothing short of a masterclass of directing.

[@poggkimpan]

"Och framför allt, tare kallt!"/"And above all, take it easy!" being so perfectly timed with Jimmy hitting the button sent chills down my spine! This certified Ted Gärdestad banger™ fits his character to a T, wonderful animatic!

[@delerium025]

I really love how the visuals change the meaning of the lyrics. At the start jimmy is singing to curly and taunting about how he is going to jump from the tower if he is let down and doesn't get what he wants but after the event of the game it's everyone else singing happily to jimmy about how they WILL jump from the tower BECAUSE they have been let down and jimmy is left alone with that truth

[@craz2580]

I love how you stylized all of them, you kept their shapes, their big hands, kept the style and the charm. This is amazing. Sorry you had to draw jimbo

[@BitesforNugget]

I didn't realize this came out today at first. This is very well done. Especially showing Jimmy's resentment for Curly's success and then being remorseful about what he did only because it hurt Curly, seeing what he did as wrong.

[@puffanimates]

My personal interpretation of Swansea and Anya on their ladder is that, they believed themselves to be at the top already, a low top but the top nonetheless, they could not believe they would ever climb any higher, they reached their sad lonely peak... but in reality they had the capability to climb, if they'd just climbed down their ladder and up another, the steps to go down are there, but they didn't see a point in taking them because going down is terrifying... theyre at the top, how could they possibly go higher, right? They dont have a higher peak to climb to... unless they went down first...

[@tesscarlson5552]

[@cacarlin70]

A part of what makes him so awful is how human he is

[@theonionpal6639]

SPOILERS The awful thing IMO is what he feels guilt over. He glosses over how he SA'd Anya, attempted a murder-suicide and led to the death of the entire crew , instead he only acknowledges Curly and acts as if "Saving" him will make up for *everything*. He is such a worm of a human.

[@jekylljekyllhyde821]

[@legsbeonpoint1795]

I mean to be fair the only thing he’s remorseful for in the game is how Curly ended up and that he couldn’t take responsibility whatever that really meant to him

[@sugarysweet07]

But he doesn't feel remorse in the actual game? He literally only feels guilt about Curly, and even that is questionable since he doesn't seem to view Curly as a real person. Even till the end, he thought he did nothing wrong. What is this Jimmy apologia?

OMGGG Ted Gärdestad med Mouthwashing jag kan dö lycklig nu. Jag älskar hur både "goofy" och mörk videon är, det passar låten så väl. Jag älskar också delen där Anya, Swansea och Daisukes spöken hemsöker Jimmy. Jag vet inte om det var avsiktligt men jag gillar parallellen mellan när Jimmy puttar Curly ner från stegen (Curly inser sina misstag efteråt men det är försent för honom att göra något åt dom; han kan bara titta på medan monstret han litade på förstör allt) och sen puttar spökena ner Jimmy från plattformen (han inser också sina misstag efteråt men det är försent att göra något åt dom; alla är döda och Curly är förevigt ärrad, Jimmy kan bara titta på shitshowen som han skapade). Du gjorde ett bra jobb att visa hur rutten och hänsynslös Jimmy är men också hur han till slut ångrade (några av) sakerna som han gjorde. Det visar att han är en människa, vilket gör honom läskigare i min åsikt. Han är ingen xenomorph, han är en människa. En väldigt, väldigt rutten människa. 1:15 han ler, tror att han har fixat allt, men sen faller han, ser allas spöken/lik och får en reality check. Jag gillar också detaljen vid 1:39 där Daisuke puttar av Jimmy från sängen(?) vilket gör att han landar framför den brinnande Curly, tvingar honom att äntligen inse sina missgärningar. Så bra!!!
