ESTRANGER | MEME

Woah! Long time no see huh? So sorry for uploading so infrequently, but I'm graduating in June, so hopefully I'll have more free time to animate then :)
Also, THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH for nearly 60k subscribers! I'm absolutely blown away by all the love and support y'all have shown me. It's incredible. Just, thank you all!

This meme features characters from my favorite video game, Rain World! Rain World means so much to me, I've been wanting to animate videos for it ever since beating it. If you like challenging gameplay, I really recommend trying the game out.
The characters in this video are siblings!
In order of appearance:
Five Pebbles (he/him)
Looks to the Moon (she/her)
Programs used:
Animating / Art: Clip Studio Paint EX
Editing: After Effects

[@centurosproductions8827]

Moon must have been truly desperate to build a long enough arm to get her puppet all the way into Pebbles.

And when the world needed them most. *They Returned*

[@nebulae.x.e6079]

He’s been gone too long... but I see that he has a reason. this animation meme that makes me feel emotion that i didn’t know existed

[@jamesburks2796]

Pebbles never left, moon returned because Hunter revived her

[@MintyHeart_]

When the RAIN world needed them the most..

[@liefericson9553]

I can never quite bring myself to fully hate Five Pebbles, his dialogue with Hunter at least hints that he feels some kind of guilt about Moon's circumstances, he's a genuinely compelling character. Beautiful animation friend, would love to see one featuring No Significant Harassment. It's amazing how much personality drips off the dude and we never even see him in-game.

this is gonna get so many people into rain world dude [points at the robots] THAT'S MY SPECIAL INTEREST

[@chloskyskies4399]

Any recommendations for lore/ play through videos? I wanna get into this (I have dyspraxia so actually _playing_ games is hard because I almost always fail qtes or just things that would require fine motor control in general)

[@atziluttth]

@@chloskyskies4399 Late, but there's a reddit post, and video on the full lore! Also, a good foekoe video that's an outside review. Turtle Toad also posts a lot speedruns, walkthroughs and general extra stuff (including lore!) if you want more to go off. Rain world also has a discord server, and an official wiki with speculation channels n stuff.

[@jamesburks2796]

the rules lawyer of video games: um aCkTuAlLy its iterators not robots

[@eldritch_moth3191]

If you aren't going to play the game, I would recommend watching a play through first, then going back and learning the story. The game is so beautiful when experienced blind.

[@kandysongbird]

SMILES!!! SMILES SO BIG AND WIDE. THIS IS GORGEOUS, THE EXPRESSIONS, THE EDITING, THE ANIMATION!! I am grabbing both Pebbles and Moon in my arms and holding them so tightly, this meme fills me with so many feelings. I love it so so sooo much!!!

Im sure 5P does not approve of that...but moon would like it :)

aAAAAAAAA its so beautiful i love how you portrayed both Moon’s and Pebbles tragedies. I Love this game and it gives me so much joy that another animator loves it too

[@figbarrr]

0:04 NO MOOOOOOOONNNN (this animation is actually amazing though i'm gonna cry)

[@kasmcsensimilla3000]

Look, not to be that person, but the characters you animate could kill me too, and I'd thank them

[@jamesburks2796]

Five Pebbles will kill you if you stay in his chamber for too long. so yes, he can kill you. most moon can do is complain though lol, and you can kill her but not 5P

[@reverieprince]

i’m in LOVE with this your art and animations are always top tier??? just the movement, composition, expressions EVERYTHING in this is absolutely sublime i always look forward to seeing your animations!!!

[@EntropyAndSingularity]

The Rain World community is the reason why I want to be an animator. This isn’t a meme- it’s art.

[@ItzJackFrost14]

Amazing as always, ur art is so beautiful !!

[@sparks-of-magic]

ROCKIN WITH THE RW ITERATORS?? AAA. this hurts so bad but im glad the incredible story of rw is being recognized!!

[@DietS0da]

YEAAAAHHHHH KIAN i've said this countless times already but GOSH this turned out so amazing!!! u put a ton of work into this the past few days and it really paid off!!! u & kandy got me invested in these lil robots through ur sheer enthusiasm alone and this vid hurts me (but in the best way) the whole vibe of this is SO cool and atmospheric and it fits both the song and the game so well!!! AND THE EXPRESSIONSSSS u made them look so good esp for creatures possessing no mouths. I LOVE THIS AND U SMMM

this has a very specific sadness to it that makes me ache in a way i've never felt, AND i've never even played this game,, truly incredible 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

You couldn’t have chosen a worse time. this will not be forgotten.

[@forvirresky]

!!!!!! im losing my mind this is so good holy cow, ive had it on loop since i found it!!! i love rain world and this is just absolutely fantastic!! this is the sort of thing that makes me remember why i love art and animating so much

[@toxintricity]

wait this is actually so pretty omg

[@adamixziober]

Average rain world players: "Yeah i have played some hours of this game now lets look at some memes now that i know what a slug cat is" **watches this** "What-"

[@kelpstorm]

HOLY- THIS IS ACTUALLY AMAZING OH MY GOD IVE SEEN GOOD RAIN WORLD ANIMATIONS BUT I THINK THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST IF NOT _THE_ BEST I- THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THISSSS ok edit bc i watched it again and i gotta say i absolutely _love_ the way you had glyphs flashing in the background in time to the music, and the way the thing pebbles was holding morphed into the dll, and the way you did the expressions my GOD especially moons face in the first scene, AND the fact that it was all to one of my favourite songs- this animation is truly a blessing OK another edit cuz i just noticed all the symbolism, like while moons falling her neuron flies leaving her, and once she's on the ground you can see her pupils fade cuz her eyes are fully black in the game, and the way the ascension glyph lingers in front of pebbles at the end i just- have i made it clear yet how much i love this-

[@beguiling_]

I'm ecstatic about this. Like, first off, beautiful, i love this animation and game, but THE WAY PEBBLES JUST SUDDENLY, FOR A SINGLE FRAME, LOOKS AT MOON WITH REMORSE OR REGRET HIT HARD. LIKE GAJSGHS *keyboard smashes feelings away*

[@TheMantisLord50]

I like how this says meme but is an artistic and accurate depiction of this part of the lore

[@shadowpumpkin1761]

It’s a animation meme. There is a difference

I always come back to this animation, over and over again. Rain World's storyline has such a sense of comfortable sadness, and this animation does such an incredible job of recreating that feeling

ohhhh god i ran thru the whole animated library of RW on YT yesterday and i love your designs for the iterators SO MUCH. im. gripping them politely... Looks to the moon is probably a comfort character for me by now, and both their stories are so tragic. all of them actually. Your animation combines music and movement SO WELL and the emotion is just. GRRR it fits so well! You made it so! And the key words hit so painfully. and then the Karma signs.. How they are strangely disconnected from our understanding of it and how they seem to just. be steps towards permanent death in some twisted kind of way. both meaningful and meaningless GRR
