hey eret!! i agree, it’s really impressive!

[@Zephirite.]

Dream returning to prison-just to flex on his past self, only to be terrified-really sells his deep fury at being brought to that point. Great work as always, you two!

[@amberjewell3894]

It's really sad. You realize how after going through something like that, a part of you will always be trapped there. You may heal, but it can never be undone.

[@Zephirite.]

@@amberjewell3894 True! Someone said if there was any hope for Dream’s redemption, Quackity torturing him killed that for good.

[@averagegenzguy2751]

BRO HALFY AND WINKS ARE AMAZING AT PREDICTION HE LITERALLY REVISITED pandoras vault and found Sam, Dream seemed to be trying to say a final goodbye to his home

[@Zephirite.]

@@averagegenzguy2751 I know, I typed that in the chat when I saw it. I did NOT expect Dream to return there.

[@ColaLoser]

@@Zephirite. How did Quackity torturing Dream kill a redemption for him, exactly? Because that's not what Amber was talking about. They were talking about a victim of abuse/horrific torture having trauma no matter how much you try to heal. /gen q

[@themothlord7590]

dream is the type of guy to think that his trauma isn’t real if he doesn’t acknowledge it

[@vanguardbreaker8826]

And that's why he's a foil to Tommy, who will do everything in his power to fight past the trauma.

"Isn't it funny when people think that they know you better than yourself." Me to the fans when they argue to CCs about lore. Anyways, I love this so much as I love Oblivion!

[@annaz8672]

THIS COULD LITERALLY BE AN ACTUAL TRAILER THIS IS SO GOOD HOW WHA- Like when Dream used Quackity's scissors to cut his hair and when he got his armor from Punz, there was this whole outfit change (it looks so nice) that showed his character change. And the animation was SO SMOOTH. THE FACIAL EXPRESSIONS. THE IMAGERY. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH Edit: I just noticed how much of "Oblivion" was referenced in here. With him walking away from his past instead of falling into guilt. And him lying in the grass in the same spot as in "Oblivion", but with darker tones and now he's changed and much more triumphant. And obviously the scene of him looking back at his past self was such a nice touch! I also loved the moment when George realized that Dream was free

[@thepeeps5943]

Another thing with his hair is when it goes him current day his hair is short but spiky and in the past it was short but taken care of and stable.

[@cricketcrackerz590]

THE END OF THE ANIMATIC WAS GORGEOUS, the way he looks straight at the camera was amazing, winks did an amazing job with the vocals I just- AHAJ

[@silvie4280]

I love how his mask being all cracked and broken shows his transition into the unhinged bad guy in comparison to when it was whole and he was calm and collected

[@annlytical745]

“I’ll take this hand and I’ll press it to the button that reads IGNORE. Because I’m nothing but free” This is pretty much Dream’s way of saying I will do the exact opposite of what people tell me to do just because I’m free from the prison. Amazing job Halfy and Winks yet again! I’m super excited for Vantage to come out!

[@adalace5764]

This guy back in control of his life is so refreshing, I love empowered villains, your animation is fantastic and I can't wait for him to take revenge on every single person in this server except Techno, Philza, Punz and Wilbur, only because I love non-happy endings :)

[@namiszz]

They made Dream more crazy like what did they thought dream would change too 🤷‍♀️

[@julesvillega]

exactly putting a psychopathic villain in jail for months and torturing him, what did they think will happen if he gets out

[@RebekahSmithChildofGod7]

I noticed this too! So well done I also noticed that they included Tommy's white streak of hair from his revival

[@Knp]

I'M IN LOVE OH GOD

[@HotSauceBeats]

I am beyond hyped for this! You guys seriously do amazing work! Such an inspiration!

[@MarxTheMarsh]

I watched your reaction and it was awesome.

[@cotton-candysunset7393]

I like the contrast between how dream is portrayed in this song and how he is portrayed in Oblivion. In this song, he is acts more sinister or evil and his appearance matches it. The dream in Oblivion behaves and looks the complete opposite. He looks more vulnerable and regretful. He behaves in a way that you know he is sad and feels guilty. I just wanted to mention this because I think it is cool that you can portray the same character in such different light. It also shows how complex dream’s character truly is.

[@oatmealdoodles]

Honestly, it’s hard to see Dream as an irrational vivan anymore. I mean, he is still a villain, and a very unstable one as well, but I think it’s safe to say that his actions from now will be with intentions of revenge.

[@sunshi4929]

The only issue is, revenge for what, specifically? The things that have happened to him were caused by the things he did to others. C!Dream is absolutely an awesome character but because of the things he’s done, I find it hard to sympathize with this ‘revenge’. Like, pop off king but also… he’s a terrible guy morally.

[@oatmealdoodles]

@@sunshi4929 I know, I was only talking about HIS point of view, *witch is also what the entire video is about* (also I just thought it would sound cool IDK) 😅

[@Sevendyy7]

I love Dream's new design when he gets freed! It looks so terrifying I absolutely love it

[@melissaquinn1463]

Man, this caught the “show them their world is mine” energy I got from the after-prison lore! And I know what I said in Oblivion, but I (and you maybe) knew that this was the outcome. I only brought up the alternate because I found it interesting. A path between personal story arc and plot progression, both interesting, but only one is true

[@ash_k1n]

AHH SO EXCITED!! The song is an absolute banger, and I'm excited to see the animation to this song!! I'll be here in 18 hours :)

[@sketchers12345]

Halfy, you have succeded in your mission of making Dream look attractive in every frame. This was beautiful! I'm so happy I could make it to the premiere.

Lyrics: Isn’t it funny when people think that they know you better than yourself? Maybe they haven’t figured out that everyone only lives for themselves Through the time that has gone by and all of the sunshine I’ve missed And all of the pain and the thunder and rain has now led to my bliss Withering inside a box and a numb state of mind Not me There is no one who knows what tomorrow will bring, but me I’m nothing but free I’m nothing but free I’m nothing but free We tend to rely On the things That are built like A house on the sand Consider I’m the wave watch me crash Right over the land So lay yourself and your weapons down For me I’m the servant and I’ve taken the crown Let the world see That I’m nothing but free I’m nothing but free I’m nothing but Mmm Now there’s no way around The disheartening doubt That I’ve built with the shadows that seemed to surround me with All these thoughts of before That drilled me to the core I’ll take this hand and press it to the button that reads ignore Cause I’m nothing but free I’m nothing but free I’m nothing but free

@@hanahvillapana1448 you're right but when the song posted that would be the case

[@stellefranz]

Amazing video!! I loved Winks' singing and Halfy's piano and drawing! This song is practically Dream ignoring all the lessons he learned from the prison that would've made him a better person but he just ignores it being the villain in the smp and because he's nothing but free. I can't help but have a feeling that he's sort of trapped in his arrogance and way of thinking though. But good job you two!

He's really good at taking all the trauma he recieved and yeeting it into the dark recesses of his mind. "Trauma? What trauma? I mean I was tortured, starved, abused, and have gone through the worst thing that could really happen to a person but I came out fine so it doesn't matter." Like there was no way he would get better in an environment like that. He needs so much therapy.

Omg, you were right, Dream *did* go back to prison after the escape. "My home away from home."

[@Average_Plebeian]

I'm so excited! Thanks you so much for this amazing new animation/song. I wish I could be there when it's premiered, but I'm it's released at 5am for me, and I'm going camping. But hopefully I can attend the next premiere! 😊

[@seraphimfeline]

I remember listening to you guys talking about this song on the livestream, and being so so hyped! I've been listening to the song over and over since it came out, it's absolutely incredible, and I know the full video will be just as incredible just by seeing the trailer! I hope you two keep accomplishing great things and enjoy the work you do; you're both such wonderful artists! Edit: IT WAS EVERYTHING I EXPECTED AND MORE! THE PARALLELS TO OBLIVION, THE USE OF SHADOW AND LIGHT, AND THOSE EXPRESSION WHAT THE HECK; ALSO MERCH POG !! :D

[@alanamariyam]

It's amazing how opposite this song is to Oblivion. It's like two different movies, but on the same set! I have once again been wowed

[@Blue-oe9hc]

This entire song is so good, but oh my god, I can't get 2:16 - 2:48 out of my head. It sounds so reminiscent of Oblivion, I love it. And Dream seeing/remembering himself in the prison at the same time the song mirrors Oblivion? Incredible. This song and animatic are stunning, especially that particular section, in my opinion. He goes from looking back to pushing forward, no longer falling or held back by what once was-what HE once was-and the anticipation of what he'll do next is gripping. Absolute perfection. You are so talented! Thanks for all the hard work you do to make this awesome content!!!

[@kappuccinokat]

YES THIS IS BEAUTIFUL! The song itself was amazing of course, and the art to go with it!! The scene with Dream as king with Punz and Wilbur at his side, and the one where he meets Punz??? Chef's kiss. And the facial expressions are so well done! The art is all so clean and so obviously gives the character emotions, this is amazing.

C! = Character C!Dream is one of those characters that I love to hate because I'm completely against all his actions but he's such a well thought out villain that I don't want him dead, but I also don't want him to get a redemption arc because I feel like that would just water down all that he's done. So, for you and Winks to illustrate and vocalize his story in such a way that gives him emotions outside of anger and pride while still being the heartless prick I know and love, it makes me almost feel bad for C!Dream, almost.
