Hurts like Hell | ROTTMNT AU animatic

[@erths.gr8est.threat721]

Casey jr just has so much trauma/angst potential and this fandom is just so willing to explore it

[@mr.glichy3295]

"Donnie, don't touch the pudding" "I ate it"

[@Rufa1120]

Ok, everyone agree that this animatic is the definition of art, because MY GOD YOU BRING ME TO TEARS I will never be the same after watching it ❤❤❤❤ Thank you so much, you rock!!!

[@miraculousninja5255]

I really hope Casey can actually find his place in this alternate version of the turtle’s team. I believe all the turtles from the past already see Casey as apart of their family, but I think Casey just isn’t ready to except them and will hold on to his past memories of the turtles.

[@Kahvixtaide]

2:03 THE WAY I GASPED SO LOUD??? ITS SO SMOOTH ITS SMOOTHER THAN BUTTER OH MY GOD MY JAW DROPPED

[@shadows0meone241]

The way the aftershocks of donnies ninpo travel along casey instead of just disappearing at 2:27 because hes not really disappearing. Thats so clever omg

[@asunayuuki7664]

Don’t mind me,.. I’m just… sobbing on the floor in a pool of my own tears.you’ve done such amazing work here with Cass’s Apocalypse Comic. 🤧

[@Dragonlover-590]

So good 😭

[@triona-tribblescore]

JAW ON THE FLOOR, SOBBING LITERALLY UGLY CRYING TAPAKA HOW ARE U SO???? Dear god the way you portray the feelings through your BEAUTIFUL art and AMAZING animation is literally awe-inspiring. Im literally in bits, gonna run and show this to anyone who's willing to watch oh my god-

[@AVB025]

Man. This animatic is so beautiful. The poses. The expressions. The soft moments between characters.. It's just beautiful. Also, friendly reminder to request Netflix to pick up Rise of the tmnt. If we band together, we can try achieve it.

[@halospark4389]

OK BUT 2:02 GAVE ME LITERAL *CHILLS* DOWN MY SPINE

[@DreamerLost]

I think you did a wonderful job. Case's pain and love for his family is seen in almost every slide. And then in the end we have Don who looks at the teen who last he saw was just a kid, in so much pain. This was just wonderfully done mate

[@SIMPLY_GJ]

crying. sobbing. clawing wall. 😭

[@myososheep7922]

CRIES this song fit so well! i'm in awe it looks so good, the head animation at 2:02 is sooo smooth, paired with the beatdrop i got chills!!

[@elligutiz3005]

OK I ACTUALLY CRIED WHAT??? This was such a good animatic. I actually love you

[@SweetBeverage]

I cried watching the series. *This made me cry more*

[@oh.ok.WAITASEC-]

OH MY GOD THIS IS AMAZING!!!! You captured all of the pain that Casey goes thru throughout Cass’ series perfectly!! In addition to that you also captured how much Casey loves his family!! So thanks to your greatness I am now balling my eyes out

[@johnfugate3432]

This is so emotional and yet I love it

[@H4RAN4]

Tapakah…I can’t even comprehend how good you are at making people cry “How can I say this without breaking?” How can I *watch* this without breaking? At this point, I can literally swim in my tears I think I flooded my whole ground floor

[@RedSuramow]

OMG YOU NEVER MISS!! This is so well done honestly I'm tearing up ;-; Amazingly done, great job!

[@riverivy6628]

Dude. DUDE. DUDE!! THIS IS FREAKING AMAZING!!!

[@dododan4361]

This is so full of pain and love at the same time, it made me cry.... I love your animations! You did a great job of capturing the feelings Junior is struggling with!

[@LostSoulEzura]

Casey has gone through to much for this to happen but I’m happy that he was able to get his uncle back and I bet even Donnie missed him❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️‍🩹

[@ShadowMemna]

Tapakah-chan... i needed some time to stop my tears to write this. Thank You.. like, the words don't seem like enough. When i asked you about this... i could only IMAGINE the amazing levels of your artistic-ness, but you ...i.. this is CRAZY!! this is everything and more!! i genuinely CRIED! but also had happy tears! because it was amazing! the animation was like nothing else! and your ideas flowed effortlessly!! just again, Thank you!

[@nikicherry1234]

I just love this series soo much. Uncle Tello has such perfect character design and just yes. I love their characterisation and everyting. soo beatiful, alweys and forever. beatiful masterpiece.

[@RandoRed]

This was so well done, the song matched this chapter so well! The animation was so smooth, the timing and character acting was on point, great job you deserve all of the love and REST! (Seriously, I follow you on Tumblr, I know you should sleep more) Great work!

[@bam0n_]

THE ANIMATION AT 2:01 OH MY GOLLY

[@dynsay]

Я даже не знаю как передать свои эмоции, это просто произведение искусства. Я так люблю ваши работы по роттмнт😭❤❤

[@lirakimyona]

[@mickieo7262]

DUDE MY HEART! This goes so hard you did such an outstanding job, the animation makes me so giddy I’m screaming! The emotion your able to convey and your story telling is so beautiful. Brought me to tears man ❤🥺 ASO CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE TRANSITION WHEN CASEY GOSE THROUGH HIS MEMORIES! Sorry but I could go on for hours about how amazing this is and how amazing you are

[@ifeellikeajoey]

AHAHAHA FEELS LIKE A STAB TO MY HEART but honestly this animation is amazing! Especially the transition of when he gets to experience his past memories! Fr this is just awesome!!! And heartbreaking 😭😭😭 you captured Casey jr's pain so well l can't! Bravo!

[@m4d129]

i think it was rlly cool the color scheme was mostly gray and black, bc then at the end the tears just seemed so.. idk i dont have words for it

[@salmascreativitypen4489]

Oh God, I love how well you portrayed Casey Jr.'s depression in this animatic. I just don't get the ending because I didn't finish the comic series.

[@jennahuh6228]

Those effects in the mindscape, the transitions imitating the way it was paneled out, stunning, i love

[@rainy302]

… I am wordless. This just squeezes my heart and refuses to let go.

[@bellabug5172]

I’m losing it 😱 If u keep bringing us these masterpieces I’m no longer going to be a mentally stable person 😂💚

[@hpp3254]

[@MistressJinx09]

[@Phantom-no6mz]

[@applesauce8593]

I am balling--i don't ever remember getting so emotional over a funking cartoon, but i connected so hard with these characters. Thank you for summing up the emotions of this au so beautifully.

[@Justyahfam]

MY BOY HAS BEEN THROUGH SO MUCH TRAUMA

[@lillyclaw7916]

WHY DID YOU DO THIS?!! I AM SOBBING

[@Namine_Rae]

This animatic is amazing!! I was not expecting the smooth animation when the memory spell started! Everything is so well done I could animate this and not have any questions about the action!!

[@PrincessKKFish]

Awwhh this song is literally made for that whole episode plus this is amazing!!

[@winkywonkey]

SHIVERS LEGIT OMFG. DUDE IM SO GLAD I HEARD THIS SONG PLAYING ON MY MOMS TV AND HAD TO TAKE A TRIP DOWN MEMORY LANE WITH HAMILTON. That's legit how I found this and I've been blessed. It's so funny because I remember watching a Hamilton animatic with this song and it blew me away with how amazing it was and then years later I get to experience that amazing feeling again. Like nothing has given me this bad of shivers and tears since that past animatic. I love it so much! 💞 Keep up the amazing work your art and animation is just- UGH words can not describe! LIKE gah damn this must've taken forever and I applaud you! You are amazing! 💞💞 Thank you for this gift of talent!

[@ulianamochalova134]

I watched this in the morning before i had a long day ahead and now im goona be thinking about it for forever ❤❤

[@LivyWard]

This was amazingggg. I feel like you picked some of the very best moments for your animatic.

[@marcuscompton1500]

Whenever I watch this I listen to it very closely and also watch it closely too because I love the song and the animation. Every time I remember it I try to remember that it has a happy ending, but even though I think that I still start to cry. This animation tells a story, one that will forever be in my memories. 🐢💚❤💙💜🧡🐢

[@kanaliaart8724]

*cry mode* This... this is ART The part that they will not understand, they will not accept him... AAAAAGGGHHH

[@Atziri-n9b]

[@ec_fandomcollecter]

[@bailipramoulmetar8417]

Anyone else cry a LOT rn??😭

[@KatieRuler]

AND IF I CRY??? WHY ARE YOU SUCH A GOOD ANIMATOR OMG????

[@NovaTheAxolotl]

you're one of my favoritt youtubers your videos almost always make me so emotinol sorry my gramer is bad

[@t0orpid]

I. am. having. a . fukin. meltdown rn Like- there are NO words, strong enough to describe the amount of sadness + nostalgia + helplessness this made me feel q-q

[@Sarah_McMenomy]

This is art! Absolutely stunning! And the song is perfect! Another song that fits really well for the story, would be Never alone by Barlow Girl. This song really portrays what the turtles went through when they were dying, and then were brought back, one by one. It would have to be after all the turtles come back, I wish I could do it myself, but I am a digital artist, and I have no idea how to animate.

[@fnibbit0]

OH MY GOD??? WHAT THIS IS SOOOO GOOD!!! EVERYTHING ABOUT IT! I MEAN THE SHOT DESIGN, THE DRAWINGS, THE ANIMATION (THAT PART WHERE HIS HAIR IS BLOWING AND IT'S SO SLOW AND AKJDJSJJS), THE LIGHTING, THE SONG CHOICE IT'S ALL SO GOOD!!! I FUSSING DIED AND CAME BACK TO LIFE WHILE WATCHING THIS!?!? I JUST FORGOT HOW TO SPEAK ENGLISH!! WILL YOU TAKE ME IN AS A STUDENT???

[@freyablackman3860]

Ow, truly incredible, I love how you used the fluidity of the animatic to add dramatic punch as well as combining it with the music alongside, nothing other than brilliant! Well done!!!!!

[@b.yrivers8791]

Fella, this is beautiful, I freaking cried. You gave me the feels and I don't know if I'm happy about, fluff. You've made me feel "conmovida" (Spanish), right now I can't think or find an English word to describe it.

[@bequeerstrikefear8740]

I was eating and I literally had to pause cuz I was about SOB. This is so gooood, I luv it so much. I'm just going to scream over this bye bye

[@Mechimonn]

YOU OUTDID YOURSELF WITH THIS ONE. THE PARTS WITH ANIMATION ARE SO WELL DONEE

[@kawasplace]

I literally can't get over it it's so good

[@cuddlykanin]

WORST DAY OF MY LIFE (/stim /superpos this is genuinely incredible and beautiful and so, so well made 🧡🧡🧡)
