[@axelson4945]

Okay but can we talk about the attention to detail??? At first when Oana was searching for Elisa, we see her searching in a sort of palace, the room is decorated with vibrant sunflowers. In the next frame, they all look withered. In the third frame the room is replaced with roses. Roses represent Elisa, while Sunflowers represent Oana. We see Oana engulfed in roses, thorns and all. It's obscuring her vision, she can't see that the relationship isn't healthy. The room being replaced by roses could also be a nod to how the toxicity is eating up Oana yet the sunflower sits pretty right at Elisa's ear, showcasing that Oana's love (whether platonic or not) was pure. On the last part, you can see that Oana isn't wearing roses anymore. It's daisies. Sylvie's flower, I bet. Sylvie is also proudly donning Oana's sunflower while Elisa's hair is barren. Indicating that Oana's flower (love) isn't for her anymore. Like??? Hello?? That's so amazing. I love it.

[@felixneumayer9823]

wtf. symbolism really is something that goes straight over my head. Who thinks of stuff like that?? Ah yes the chamomile symbolises the girls hunger for cookies. Its like you can interpret it any way you want depending on the situation because there will always be someone who just agrees "ah yes, what a great detail, I also like the blue curtains which symbolise the main characters loneliness because blue apparently is a symbol for everything that sounds somewhat relatable"

Something that I especially like about this animation: It shows the more or less abusive relationship of two girls, one 4-armed girl wanting love and attention and an Avian seemingly viewing her as a toy to acaesionly play with and then put it back on the shelf. The 4-armed girl then finds someone else who actually seems to view her as an equal and leaves the avian girl behind, who aparrently just now realized how much she actually took the 4-armed as granted. (or didn't but still felt a bit hurt because break up)

[@shadowlord437]

Having the flowers symbolize certain things is amazing. Such as her leaving the winged girl for another, or when she was with the winged girl, her roses had thorns that entrapped her and hurt her, yet she was ignored. Loved it!

[@kuro-kuromi32]

This was absolutely stunning, and I am glad to know their names :D thank you for informing, and I adore your style and how smooth the animation was 💖

[@inkbubble532]

The most amazing thing about this animation is the meticulous attention to detail. Oana is represented by sunflowers, Elisabeth roses, and Sylvie daisies. My favourite part is how the relationship and personality of each character is represented by these flowers. 0:48 shows Elisabeth wearing Oana’s flower while Oana’s eyes are covered with Elisabeth’s flower. 1:07 shows Sylvie with Oana’s flower and vice versa, Oana with Sylvie’s flower. I have a theory that wearing the flower represents a healthy relationship while in Oana’s case with Elisabeth, being twined and blinded by the other’s flower indicated a toxic relationship. Super cool animation and extremely fascinating characters! Keep up the work ;)

[@vxytoria1418]

wow i LOVED this animation! i think the sunflowers are supposed to represent the white haired girl, and roses represent the pink. they shared themselves with each other. the roses and thorns were tangled around the white haired girl, and i think this showed that she was getting hurt from the pink haired girl playing with her feelings. i think that in 0:39 she was “blinded” by pink’s love. i think 0:53 showed that when the white haired girl got over the pink haired girl and moved on with someone else, the pink haired girl broke inside and regretted her actions. i loved the hidden meanings!!

[@user-gs1xi8go8v]

yes!! i think that in the middle when the sunflowers wilt and turn into roses it represents her taking control over the situation while white starts losing hope in it, and in the scene where white was blinded pink had a sunflower conveniently placed in her hair as decoration which i assume represents white putting her love/admiration into her whereas pink was using hers as a fake tool against her, at the end after the rose falling apart pink obviously loses the sunflower and instead when whites talking to the other girl they both have their respective flowers on each other showing it's actual admiration/love towards each other

[@annemeownie]

My favorite thing about animators & animation memes is that the artist makes a way to represent a song in a different light in their own creative way. The song would be imagined used for creepy/action stuff, but when listening to the lyrics, it can be used for this story of the lovers/ex lovers. Also no conversation (besides the texts) was needed to add in this since the flowers, gestures, emotions were more than enough to tell a story.. I really loved this vide, a wee bit late but I still loved it!!

It took me a while to realize this, but some people are so scared of being abandoned by others that they’d rather abandon them first.

[@esthetic7097]

I love this a whole lot! The artist did a great job interpreting each and every feeling to us! Oana(SUNFLOWERS)🌻 Elisa(ROSES) 🌹 Sylvie (DAISIES) 🌼 Look at the scene 00:47 where Oana (the white haired girl) is surrounded by roses and thorns that belongs to Elisa ( the winged girl) she is buried and unable to get out of this toxic love.. She is in pain and blinded by love as Elisa's roses forms a blindfold. While Elisa is bursting with confidence due to Oana's love 00:41.. She is filled with ego. In a scene a single rose broke in a feild of sunflowers 00:53 (implying that is either the end of it all or the effect of that toxic love on even the strongest person At 00:28 you can see the sunflowers withering away to then be replaced with roses in Oana's House at (she has taken over her heart) Eventually Oana found Sylvie (the black haired girl) and they exchange flowers (each is wearing the others flower on their hair) and this is how love should be 1:06 🌼🌻 I pity Elisabeth she lost a great love due to her actions..

[@Piper_PC]

So I can only guess In this everyone has a set flower And Oana's is a Sunflower. Elisa's is a Rose. And Sylvie's is a Daisy(?). Oana and Elisa assumedly had a close (or romantic) relationship which is why they had each other's flowers on them to signify that, but Elisa ghosted Oana, and took joy in how upset she was about it I guess? But Elisa took Oana for granted, and once Oana moved on to Sylvie, signified by how, now, their flowers are on each other, Elisa realised she was being left behind and Oana moved on, and felt upset about it. That's the way I took this anyways ^^

NO BUT THE COLOR SCHEMES THE CHARACTERS THE ANIMATION THE DESIGN THE STORYTELLING AND THE EVERYTHING IS JUST SKWOSKSOSKS 😭😭😭✨✨✨

[@Cloudyy__o]

Really late but here's my own interpretation of this: (by the way, I'm not very familiar with these ocs, so apologies in advance if I get anything wrong) Oana's flowers are sunflowers, as seen at 0:06 Elisa's flowers are roses, as seen at 0:09 Slyvia's flowers are daisies, as seen at 1:02 Oana and Elisa are friends, with Oana being very straightforward with her affection, as seen in her background being filled with flowers at 0:13. At the same time, Elisa opts for a more cold and prickly attitude, as seen with her background being desolate and filled with cacti (?) at 0:14. The colours also come into play. Oana's colours in her scene is mostly white and pink, symbolizing innocence, honesty, playfulness and compassion. On the other hand, Elisa's colours are mainly darker colours like black and purple, symbolizing mystery, power, royalty and ambition. This could mean that Elisa thinks of herself as superior, or that she wants to be able to control Oana. From 0:27 to 0:31, we see three different scenes in the same castle-like area, which I usually think of as Oana's mind/current priority. At 0:27, we see the area is filled with sunflowers, meaning that while she is looking for Elisa, she is not her current priority, as she still takes care of her well-being etc. At 0:29, we see the sunflowers starting to wither, with rose thorns starting to take root. This symbolizes how Elisa is starting to take over her mind, and by 0:30, we see the sunflowers completely gone and having roses in their place. This could mean that Oana's number one priority is now Elisa, wanting to please her. I would also like to mention the gradual shift in colour for the background, from a soft pastel yellow/orange to a more cool colour of purple (Elisa's colour). From 0:33 to 0:36, we can see Oana losing hope and having mental distress, supposedly from not being to contact Elisa, showing just how important Elisa is now in Oana's mind. While at 0:16 we can see her text being very lighthearted asking where Elisa is, we can see how as Oana searches more and more for her, Elisa's missing presence is taking more of a toll on her. At 0:38, we can see how Elisa is in fact enjoying this. (Sadistic baster-) At 0:39, Elisa reappears in Oana's life after ghosting and avoiding her for so long, although this can be interpreted as physically avoiding or emotionally avoiding. Roses also cover Oana's eyes, blinding her to how unhealthy their relationship has become. It can also come from the phrase, "looking through rose-tinted glasses". Elisa is also squishing Oana's cheeks with her fingers, which I know from experience is not very comfortable, showing how Oana is now submissive to Elisa, letting her do whatever she wanted. Elisa also looks very happy, as compared to at the beginning when she looked bored or indifferent whenever Oana was there or brought up. This could mean that from the very start, Elisa wanted this sort of power-imbalanced relationship. At 0:40, we can also see that the roses are now filled with thorns, hurting Oana. This could be how Oana sees their relationship. When Elisa was there with her at 0:39, the thorns were gone, removing the discomfort Oana would experience when the thorns were there at 0:40, when Elisa was gone. This could also show her not knowing that the thorns grow from the roses, which come from Elisa. Her posture also looks very defeated, as if when Elisa isn't around, there is nobody to hold herself up to, potentially showing that her self-esteem gets propped up by Elisa, so that she feels more confident when Elisa is around, increasing her dependency on Elisa. From 0:41 to 0:45, we see how Elisa is so full of Oana's affection that she literally is bursting with it. We also see her very proudly wearing Oana's sunflower on her head, looking very pleased, like she's thriving with Oana's love. She likes it. At 0:46, we see the same thing happen as it did at 0:40. When Elisa isn't there, she's covered in thorns, hurting, but when Elisa appears at 0:48, the thorns disappear, as if Elisa "saved" her from the pain. She also sits up straighter, instead of being slumped down and curling in on herself. I would also like to mention how on Elisa's head, there is only one sunflower, while on Oana's body, she's practically covered head to toe in them. This shows the power imbalance between them, how while Oana only has a slight influence on Elisa's life, Elisa has full control of Oana. But at 0:50, Oana realizes. She realizes that this is wrong, relationships aren't supposed to be this way. And she's finally able to see through the roses blinding her, and she is not happy, almost scared of how toxic their relationship is. But at the same time, she's still unsure, as seen in the background, like it's representing her current state of mind. Confused, chaotic, uncertain. Everything also takes a more muted hue besides Oana's mouth and eyes, highlighting that this is more in her mind, and seeing how she's starting to take control of her emotions again, and how Elisa is taking a backseat in her mind. From 0:51 to 0:52, we see Oana's sunflowers regrowing again, symbolizing how she's rebuilt herself from the manipulation Elisa had inflicted on her. At 0:53, we finally see that Oana's sunflowers are so much bigger than Elisa's singular rose, then finally cracks start forming from the sunflowers, and shatter the rose, symbolizing Oana finally escaping Elisa's control. I would also like to mention how there is only a singular rose left when the sunflowers are full size, while there used to be many roses covering Oana, hinting that this wasn't an instant process, but it was because while Oana was regrowing her sunflowers, she naturally cut off some roses to make way for them. At 0:55, we see the same scene from 0:41, except that it's been flipped, and the colours had changed. While the first scene was filled with bright yet soft purples and yellows, symbolizing optimism, joy, and general positivity, the second scene is filled with dark purples, greys and blacks, symbolizing frustration, depression, fear and general negativity, the opposite of the first scene. This is further backed up by Elisa's expression, looking very unsettled and scared, as if Oana's sunflowers don't give her the same pleasure they did before, because she knows that something is wrong and Oana is slowly breaking out of her control. And the eyes. Because before Elisa's eyes were closed, showing that she was confident enough in Oana's love for her that she could practically do this with her eyes closed, while in the later scene, it was wide open, showing her vigilance and caution. Finally at 1:01, Elisa realized that Oana had moved on from her to a new friend, Slyvia. And they have a perfectly healthy relationship, as seen from how they each wear one of each other's flowers on the same position of their head, and how the flowers beneath them occupy the equal amount of space. They also sit on neutral ground (the tree branch), instead of any of their territories. At 1:10, Oana looks at Elisa with contempt, something that she had never done before. Half her face is also obscured to Elisa, showing how she no longer knows what even goes on in Oana's mind, and their physical distance (Oana in the tree, Elisa on the ground) also shows how Elisa is no longer allowed to touch Oana without restraint. And finally, finally, at 1:13, Elisa finally regrets what she had done. (Or maybe she just regretted losing control of Oana, who knows.)

[@EllieInTheRain]

the relationship between Oana and Elisa reminds me of the relationship between Sappho and the unnamed woman in ode to aphrodite: 'Though she now may run, she will soon pursue you; now she may spurn gifts, but she soon will give them; now she feels no love, but she soon will feel it, even unwilling' with the ending being Elisa finally realising she has feelings for Oana but Oana having already moved on

[@TheWilderCat]

Ok so I don't know if this is significant to the meme but some notes on the meanings of the flowers and plants here. Going from memory, sunflowers generally signify a happy, optimistic or energetic personality. According to some quick googling they can also mean loyalty, everlasting love, goodness, justice and truth. Roses can have different meanings depending on color. It's hard to tell if the roses here are meant to be red and were simply toned to fit the color pallet or if they're actually pink. Again from memory, pink roses represent friendship and an innocent soft kind of love. Red mean romance and passionate love. Other meanings for pink are gentleness, grace and gratitude. While the red doesn't have as many meanings as pink it seems like it can also symbolize the crucifixion of Jesus and sometimes achievement and perfection. I can't quite tell what the white flowers at the end are but I'll guess daisy. Daisies represent innocence and purity, same as most white flowers. They can also apparently represent death. Not sure what kind of tree that is at the end either but here are a two different ones. Willows can represent mysticism as well as safety, belonging and growth. Green willows specifically can represent false love according to wikipedia. Cherry blossoms (which can come in a weeping variety) represent rebirth, spring and and mortality. Finally the plants at the front look like caladiums and those can represent joy and delight. If I missed something or got something wrong lemme know!

[@Hollyse]

Ahhhh I love youre theory :))) you got the flowers basically spot on (I did colour roses to fit pallet), the other plants / environments represent smth else though ;)

[@TheWilderCat]

Thanks! Flower language is fun and I have way too much free time! I’ll have to figure out what the the background plants mean now because it’s going to keep me up at night.

THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL EVERYBODY NEEDS TO SEE THIS AAAA

[@rainofstars00]

This is SO GOOD!! The animation is fluid, the colours are beautiful, and I ADORE all the symbolism with the flowers!! I could fanboy over this forever, so instead I'm going to fanboy productively, AKA make a theory. Here's my flower theory: Oana's flower is the sunflower, Elisa's is the rose, and Sylvie's is a daisy. Not sure how accurate that last one is, I'm not an expert, haha. In the beginning, Oana's background is blooming flowers, whereas Elisa's background is cacti with no flowers. That might symbolise Oana's visible care for Elisa and Elisa's aloof attitude. Furthermore, when Oana is looking for Elisa, there are three shots. In the first one, there are sunflowers all around, showing Elisa's love and hope. In the second one, the sunflowers are withering and being drowned out by rose thorns, which is a sign of Oana losing hope. In the last shot, there are only roses and Oana is walking away. Her hope has died, just like her flowers. She's giving up. That's when Elisa seemingly calls out for her. Elisa manipulates Oana. She pushes her to the edge, then catches her right before she falls. The roses and thorns on Oana's body and eyes show how she's taking all the pain because she's blinded by the "good" she sees in her friend and holding onto it. Elisa being covered in sunflowers symbolises the fact that she accepts and enjoys the love and affection she receives from Oana. However, she doesn't give love and affection in return, which is emphasized by the next scenes. In one of them, she is wearing a sunflower on her head, while Oana isn't just wearing roses. Her eyes are still obscured by them. While Elisa is happy with what she gets, Oana can't see the toxicity of their relationship through the mask of seemingly beautiful roses. In the following scene, one of Oana's eyes shows through the roses and her expression is clearly unhappy. This is her finally seeing through the blindfold. Then, we see Oana's sunflowers growing and shattering a single rose. This symbolises Oana breaking free from Elisa's control. Now, the sunflowers on Elisa don't please her. Rather, they scare her. Then she sees her former friend wearing a different flower. Oana is wearing the daisy the way Elisa used to wear the sunflower. She's not being controlled. She's accepted a new friendship. This point is further emphasized by the picture of Oana and Sylvie sitting together in a tree. They're wearing each other's flowers, but there's also an abundance of their own flowers beneath them. This represents a healthy relationship. There's no imbalance when it comes to what they give or take. In one of the last scenes, Oana looks at Elisa with contempt. The tree leaves that cover parts of her face from Elisa's view show the distance between them. Before, Elisa used to be able to freely get close to and touch Oana. Now, they're completely separated from each other. Finally, when a tear rolls down Elisa's face, she doesn't have any flowers. She's all alone. There's some other symbolism in this video, but I really wanted to talk specifically about the flowers. I hope I got some of this correctly! Maybe some of it was obvious, but I'm just amazed, so I had to comment about it. Anyway, if you've read this entire thing, thank you so much! I'm very glad you were interested enough to do that. Have a great day! 🌼

anyone else notice how the flowers represent people? the one w wings has roses, white hair has sunflower and the new girl at the end has daisies? You could see in one shot (0:38) the white haired one being literally BLINDED by her love for the girl with wings. In the end (1:07) the white haired girl falls for another and has their flower in her hair as a symbol of their love for each other. (Hence the black haired girl now having a sunflower in her hair and white haired girl a daisy, these being the other persons "unique" flowers that they are wearing.)
