This is the first animatic I’ve seen that captures this as bittersweet, rather then just sad or scary. A celebration of ghostburs life, but also of wilburs. I love that his smile at the end isn’t evil!!!!! He’s just glad to be back. And that’s something I can get behind

[@velliott6641]

My thoughts exactly. I find it quite strange that everyone chooses to depict this with Wilbur having glowing red eyes and a toothy grin while thinking about random evil. Not only does that completely misinterpret this scene but it also flys in the face of Wilburs character and how real he felt. I hope as we see his character grow people will drop this idea of Wilbur being evil with no example in present day other then “ Tommy said he’s bad and even though he’s a child traumatise by death who probably isn’t very rational and we’ve seen Wilbur being super chill we should take his word for it because Wilbur was pure evil!”

[@umythyst]

@@velliott6641 YESSS THANK YOU. OH MY GOD. Like- please. Just because he was yelling abt that being his sunrise doesn't mean he has ulterior motives mans literally just trying to right his wrongs. Wilbur canonically didn't have any stimulus in limbo for 13 YEARS. 13 years with zero stimulus- I think anyone would be ecstatic to be able to feel again, or in his words, feel alive again.

I would watch an animated series about the dream smp lol. Since I’m a new fan, it would be way easier to catch up instead of thousand of hours of streams in 20 different perspectives

[@VisionaryForge_]

@@lizzy4013 29 different perspectives actually. *If you want to catch up without only watching lore streams look below* Anyway there are some great videos to help you catch up. My favorite is a _documentry_ (no I am not overexaggerating) formated video giving *most* of the lore within a story telling aspect. It covers the large events and conflicts that occured in the SMP and it's amazingly orchastrated. Here it is: kzbin.info/aero/PLgfSb9uBCIkbhhgZoIJcgG1uSmznXk5Rv If you want to look up information of an event, character, place, object, arc, stream, ect. on the Dream SMP lore, will you love the Dream SMP wiki (it is my life savior when it comes to lore lol). It's like wikipedia, but for the Dream SMP. It's a little difficult to navigate as your figuring it out (just because of the quanity of content there), but just go to the search bar and search whatever your looking for.

Despite everything, this animatic is still so special to me (as is c!wilbur)

[@melodytheatre2887]

I am such a sucker for animatics that don’t make c!Wilbur out to be some “huge, evil, big bad villain that only wants to hurt others.” He did a lot of wrong, yes, but he was also canonically depressed, suicidal, struggling a lot, and going through a mental breakdown after everything he believed in got turned upside down and he mistakingly believed that the people he cared about hated him. He had genuinely good intentions in the start and wanted a country that could give protection to his family and friends, but his habits of constantly hiding his emotional struggles and mental illnesses in order to maintain a fake “happy, strong, charismatic, presidential” persona for the sake of others led him to a self-destructive mental spiral when his world started crumbling down around him. He ended up seeing both himself and his own creation as the reason for all problems on the server, so in order to solve those problems and “free everyone (as he put it),” he mistakingly believed that he had to destroy both himself and L’manberg in order to end his suffering and end the suffering of others. He screwed up a lot, yes, and he did hurt others, and his mental state *doesn’t* excuse that, but c!Wilbur wasn’t an irredeemable monster like a lot of the fanbase portrays him as. He is a *human* who was seriously hurting and never reached out to get help, so in desperation and in his rapidly declining mental state, he did bad things that he ended up hating himself for, so much so that he commit assisted suicide and believed he deserved to be dead. And now he’s a formerly-suicidal person that’s finally *happy to be alive again!* He’s happy to be able to experience life, to watch the sunrise, to feel and see again, after so long in torturous darkness. Regardless of what he may or may not do in the future, that’s just such an awesome, uplifting thing. And I love this animatic for not portraying him as an “irredeemable monster.” Nice job on the entire video! It’s amazing! :D

[@MynAnthony]

I just got into the DSMP a month ago, and this is my first time interacting with the fandom at all. I just had to say YES. I agree 100%. It's frustrating how most people are in either camp "c!Wilbur is a maniacal supervillain, end of story", or camp "c!Wilbur is just misunderstood and in pain and isn't evil at all!" Like, no. He committed great evil. He was flawed from the very start, with the drug van stuff. But he isn't pure evil either. Deep down he truly wanted good things for the people he cared about and was willing to fight for these freedoms. Then, like you said, he broke mentally, committed an evil act for twisted reasons, and committed assisted suicide. I want so badly for a redemption arc... but frankly, even though Wilbur is teasing one now, I don't trust that it's where he's going with the story. ;_; He's stated multiple times that he wants to subvert everyone's expectations.

I shed a tear today rewatching this one... I clearly remember watching it a month ago after the "not your fault one" and literally squinting at everything I didn't know - the characters, the story arcs, the events, the streamers - because I didn't want to get into it, into Dream SMP, right at that terrible time. I had a terrible timing switching from Grian's animations to Philza's, and then to Dream SMP as consequence... Nevertheless, I don't regret it. I've been catching up content, older streams, main events and then chiller ones. It has been a blast. The story, them, their characters, they just fit together so well. Animations have been helping me absorbing lore so much, and rewatching them now just helps me seeing all the details I missed... (Wilbur brewing at the start... I never got why he was represented with brewing stands. Also why Ghostbur had blue in his design and a sheep, and why he would melt in the rain...). And I'm still missing stuff, I know it. Thank you for the hard work, your animations are amazing, and I love your character designs. It hasn't been long, but I'd redo it all over again. Actually, I'd wish I had gotten into it sooner...

ONE OF MY FAVORITE ARTISTS MAKING AN ANIMATIC USING ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS FOCUSED ON ONE OF MY FAVORITE CHARACTERS?? YES PLEASE OMFG

[@straightjacket_kickboxer]

This animatic is not only beautiful, but so clever in so many ways. The way the lyrics are used to portray Wilbur's and Ghostbur's story is absolutely fantastic. If I could, I'd honestly go through the whole thing and analyse it line for line, but since I can't, I'll settle for a few phrases. "Burning bright right till the end, "Now you'll be missing from the photographs, missing from the photographs." In this part of the animatic, it shows Fundy taking a picture of Wilbur and Tommy, back in the early L'Manberg days. Back then, Wilbur was indeed "burning bright" as were the hope and dreams of the L'Manbergians - he was their brave leader, respected, calm and thoughtful, a rolemodel especially to Tommy and Fundy. At this point in time, Wilbur's and Tommy's brotherly relationship was thriving, they were ready to stay by each other's side and fight together "till the end", while Fundy and Wilbur were slowly beginning to be pulled apart as Fundy realized that Wilbur cared more Tommy and L'Manberg than about him; He would therefore be "missing from the photographs". "Crystallizing clear as day, "Oh, I can picture you so easily, picture you so easily." Despite the fact that his son has set out into the world and is "far away", Phil knows how he's doing thanks to the letters Wilbur sends him. Because of them and the pictures he keeps of him, Phil can "picture" him and his adventures "easily", imagining his at this point still hopeful and joyful demeanor "clear as day", like a "crystal" in the sun. Then, the switch: "What's gonna be left of the world if you're not in it? "What's gonna be left of the world?" Although we see no blood, no button and no sword, you can tell that we've jumped to the fateful day of November 16th from Wilbur's and Phil's expressions. It shows the moment when Wilbur asks Phil to end his life, expects a father to rid the world of the one thing that is the most important to him: His son. From Phil's perspective, the question of what is going to be "left of the world", or left to live for without his son, suddenly becomes painfully relevant - Wilbur is one of the most important parts of his life, and he can't imagine a world without his child "in it". And yet, Wilbur hands him the sword and forces him to face this terrible reality. Later on, the same lines are used when Tommy talks to Ghostbur - a creative decision which I consider to be genius, to say the least. On one hand, it draws a parallel between Alivebur's death and Ghostbur, and answers the question of what is "left": Ghostbur is literally the part of Wilbur that stayed in the world, he's what's left of Alivebur's existence. However, at the same time, Ghostbur is his own entity who is scared of dying, but willing to do so to bring Wilbur back. He's asking himself about what the world would lose if he wasn't "in it", and to him, the answer is: Nothing much. Ghostbur, in is own eyes, is not needed in the world; He's just the ghost of a person who was a bad human being either way. He's that not-quite-Wilbur who may have caught the people "off guard" by humming Wilbur's "favorite song", the anthem, in the ruins, but who isn't him, doesn't want to be him. (It also reflects rather nicely on the talks Ghostbur and Tommy had about death and Tommy's sentiments regarding the situation. Tommy, during exile, used to contemplate ending his existence because he felt unloved, worthless - so he talked to Ghostbur about it. Not that all of this was one-sided, though. Over time, Ghostbur grew on Tommy, and he began to care about him being there. Tommy wanted Wilbur back, but at the same time, he started to become worried about what would happen to Ghostbur. But again, Ghostbur claimed that he was fine with the idea of dying.) Because despite his fear of death, despite the fact that he dislikes Wilbur, Ghostbur is willing to sacrifice himself to make the people he loves happy, as a later part shows: "So get drunk, call me a fool, "Put me in my place, put me in my place, "Pick me up, up off the floor, "Put me in my place, put me in my place." Ghostbur agrees to take part in the revival attempts and, knowing fully well that this might be his end, he allows Philza and the others to put him "in his place" - both metaphorically and literally. During the ritual, him and Phil re-enact the scene of Wilbur's death - he's put in Wilbur's "place", plays his role in the literal sense. But there's more to it, though. As previously mentioned, Ghostbur believes that he has no "place" in the world since he's just a place-holder for Wilbur, so he thinks it's better if Wilbur enters and Ghostbur leaves it. It's practically a request to remove him from existence, therefore putting him "in his place" since he shouldn't exist in the first place. However, right when they're nearing the part of the scene in which Phil impales Wilbur with a sword, killing him, Ghostbur suddenly begins to act reluctant, scared. He's acting like a "fool" because from his point of view, his emotions are getting in the way of something that is meant to happen regardless, and he's wasting people's time, and even worse, making them worry about a ghost that has no right to expect them to care. And yet, Ghostbur likes it when they pay attention to how he's feeling, looks for comfort and solace; He wants to be "picked up off the floor" when he's down. And this is what Phil does: He gives Ghostbur time to calm down, talks to him in a soothing tone, and holds him in his arms, giving him the comfort he needs, the illusion that he matters. And interestingly, now, after we had to witness Ghostbur's demise, it begs the question of whether this illusion was actually reality. In the song, the chorus talks about a sentiment that is closely related to mattering: Missing someone. "Every minute and every hour, "I miss you, I miss you, I miss you more. "Every stumble and each misfire, "I miss you, I miss you, I miss you more." Usually, you would only ever start to "miss" someone when they're actually gone, but Wilbur was already "missed" during his lifetime. We see the animatic contrast the Wilbur who founded L'Manberg, the one who was loved and admired by his people with the Wilbur he became after his "stumbles" and "misfires", a rebel who may have been still a leader but was often called into question for his ruthless strategies. The old Wilbur went missing somewhere between the creation of L'Manberg and his death and over time, with every step Wilbur moved away from his ideals, and ultimately his death, the L'Manbergians and his family "missed" him "more" and "more". In fact he's missed so much that up to this day people wish for his return - even so much that they're willing to bring the corrupted him back. They want to believe that a spark of this good him is left in him and that they can save him, that the missing son, friend and leader can finally return to his people. And Ghostbur, is he "missed", now that he's gone? Well, I, for one, think that history might not remember him, at least in the way he would deserve to be. Because on one hand, it appears that, while most characters liked him, many seem to have already directed their attention to the newly revived Wilbur - Ghostbur is an actual ghost of a memory in the back of their mind. He's disappeared without leaving a corporeal or physical trace behind; There's nothing that would prove the beginning or the end of his time in the world. He fades the same way he appeared: With a bang, but yet silently, with all attention directed at him and yet unnoticed. Ghostbur's non-existence is outshined by the return of the man of the day, the one with the power to build and destroy a whole nation, bringer of both hope and desperation. On the other hand, however, he might still be in the hearts of the people that were close to him, for seldomly has there been a person as universally appreciated as he was. There are people who remember him clearly and fondly, and are trying to hold onto his memory, who treasure what he gave them, his gifts and his company. Tommy especially treats Ghostbur and his memory as his own person - whenever Wilbur claims Ghostbur's belongings and experiences as his, he insists to draw the line between the two, between the good that is Ghostbur and the bad that is Wilbur. And who knows, since Wilbur stated that his conscience once lied dormant behind Ghostbur eyes, perhaps a part of Ghostbur can see that at least once person is "missing" the true him for what he was; There's a brother that misses him dearly. Again, outstanding animatic and amazing song choice; I'm still mind-blown how well you tied it all together, and how you somehow managed to take an unrelated story and a song and made them fit together like puzzle pieces. Thank you so much for making this (and for reminding me that I should be listening to Bastille more often, it's been a while).

Oh. My. God. I did not expect the song to sound that way, but it's a really good fit. I absolutely loved this. Everything about this is outstanding, the art, the transitions between scenes. This animation is kinda leaving me a little speechless.

[@brbrbrbreannad3610]

Holy shit, man, this brought back all of angst I’ve been suppressing since Thursday 😩

[@firewolf6431]

So... what would you little maniacs want to do first? Wilbur: I would like make a place called L'manburg and destroy it with 11+ stacks of T.N.T. later on.

[@worththeshiner4541]

I love Wilbur and ghostbur so much. Ghostbur because he can make me really sad and happy, but Wilbur is so well done, absolutely amazing character/lad

[@abdullahmahud6000]

excuse me,you dropped this----➤👑

[@phoenixfeather8511]

I've never been more conflicted. I miss Ghostbur terribly already and he was one of my favorite characters but I love Alivebur so so much. Hes such a great character and I'm excited that hes back

[@PuppeteerShizun]

OMG this is amazing I'm crying. Rip ghostbur 😭❤️

[@Frenzies]

The fact that this is a nostalgic song with a nostalgic part of the storyline is nostalgically nostalgic ;-;

[@the_Ikar]

I'm glad I clicked that video. It made me excited and prepared for new DreamSMP arc. Can we just admire how good Wilbur is at roleplaying?

[@EvilWizard2001]

you’re able to mix both happiness and hopefulness along with sadness and nostalgia oh my gosh this is so good!!!! i love this i’m gonna rewatch it 600 times now

[@MarbleMango]

omg why am i only finding this now??? this is incredible!

[@softyyy4324]

I almost started crying when ghostbur was crying and philza hugged him 🥲also great animation!

[@naomisilly_]

FINALLY SOMEONE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT WILBUR PLAYS GUITAR IN THE LORE IM- also the scene where he comes up and side hugs Fundy while showing Fundy a photo made me happy and I dont know w h y

[@oliveks82]

what makes this more heart wrenching is that this song is literally about coping with grief after losing a loved one

[@vera-whatsurdiscord]

OMG I LOVE HOW GHOSTBUR WENT FROM BEING TRANSPARENT TO BEING FULLY VISIBLE AHHHHH

[@rowanflewelling8881]

This makes me happy and sad at the same time

[@user-zn1wu4fc5p]

начни свой день правильно - со слез. спасибо, это было очень чувственно и красиво нарисовано 😖

[@nicolabrudzisz9319]

i don't think i've ever seen the whole story of his character in one video, this is amazing !

[@ryriclan3425]

This was beautiful, I am weeping.

[@carterarter9295]

I can't find the words to describe how incredible this is but oh my goodness it's so extremely good!! I adore the art style, the flow of the video, the scenes chosen, everything is so good. And also holy crap this was SO fast after yesterday's stream?? Even if most of this was finished by that point, the ending just fits in so extremely well and I'm so awestruck by the consistent high quality of the art here. Every frame is so nice to look at. I really hope this gets the recognition it deserves because it is just so lovely

[@pink-barry9039]

You don’t understand the amount of serotonin this animatic gives me

[@Proj3ta]

[@ravvik1402]

"So...what would you maniacs want to do first" This is actually so Phil-

[@samathekittycat]
