[@JBF-p6f]

Uh didn’t know what you said but

[@Vøid202-X]

I hope you have a happy life. 🫂

[@CassieIsGae]

Ive seen comments praising your family members for doing bad things. Your mom, your dad, your grandparents. It breaks my heart that people say that to you.

[@BusyBee227]

@ Same…no child deserves that…they should have a happy life…

[@mysticaerys1110]

"No one cared. I tried so hard to show them how sad I was but no one ever asked if I was okay." That hit hard. That quote summarised my entire middle school experience in a way I never even realised I would connect with. Whenever my class would go on walks, I would stay at the back of the line because no one ever wanted to talk to me because I was "weird," so I began maladaptive daydreaming to cope with how isolated I was from the rest of my peers. I feel you, Hawley. I'm really glad you're healing your inner child and I hope both you and W.C. are okay. 💜

[@jhennelcastillo-hg6pj]

That ok besides I maladaptive daydreaming because I cope with troubles in my household my mom thinks I'm crazy but she doesn't know I use it to cope of how she treats me my dad on the other hand he probably fully aware of me daydreaming but he just believes my lie of I was just thinking of others things in school

[@thatoneartkid_]

Man year 5 was a wild ride! I’m so sorry that you had to go through all of this Hawley. I’m glad that you’re in a better environment now.

[@AnatheHedgehog-sf1sm]

'Beeving is important wild child please beeve" A truer statement hasn't been said

[@twist_ending7545]

What

[@AnatheHedgehog-sf1sm]

@twist_ending7545 they said that in the blooper section of the video :3

[@JohnNielsen-k8t]

"Take a dink break" also a very true statement

[@Imagnito-silly]

Hey if anyone reads this, even the creator I wanna say that I’ve been a regular listener to this channel and it’s opened my eyes to how mean and nice the world can be, seeing each short and each part of this project has been so moving and I wish you all the best, whoever’s reading this, this is to remind you that stories like these are real and if you’ve been through something similar I give you my deepest gratitude for being here and still going now, this project has actively made me more open minded to people’s situations and while I used to be more judgmental to others based off short interactions this has made me realise there is so much more to a person than what they are to you, if the creator is reading this I just want to thank you for posting these videos as it helps me understand that even in the hardest times there will always be light, you just have to find it!

1:06 "YEEEEEEAAAAHHHH🔥🔥🔥 ✨✨GARBAGE MAAAAANNN✨✨" - Wild Child, Episode 44

[@yongqianchen4037]

I’m so sorry that happened to you… it’s horrible that some people would do something so disgusting to a child I hope you’re doing better now

[@Cardboard_Stitches]

trying to show how sad you are is such an experience that lies with me. My parents would ask if I'm sad when I'm just watching tv but when I'm on the verge of tears they didn't seem to notice then?? I never understood, and still don't, how they can't tell what I'm feeling.

[@bananabanana1960]

Sadly they probably knew but thought it was dumb or didn't care. Maybe they just didn't notice hopefully not the other thing 💙

[@le9meme833]

As someone who had existential thoughts at a young age too, thank you for putting the warnings :)

[@GoldenFlowerBunny]

the shopping carts from where I am, had a gap under the cart with a grated bottom, and I used to crawl under there like a lizard and try to grab things on the bottom shelf of aisles as we went past

[@BlissAnimations]

You're really good at expressing harsh emotions through your writing. You've always been. I've been enjoying the series so far, and the latest episode hit so hard. As someone with ptsd the line "why did that happen to me" with the intense clock ticking noises really hit close to home. You captured that f e e l i n g I've felt for years perfectly. It makes me wonder if that's what that creature represents. I think each creature is a personification of trauma. The first we had, "caboose", is the representation of isolation, or lonelyness. The second one is the representation of ptsd.

[@PetPyves]

Nailed it. The creature represents PTSD and is named Clockwork for good reason. Thank you for the compliments! I really do my best to be authentic in everything I do and I truly think writing is my best skill

[@BlissAnimations]

@PetPyves HECK YEAH I'M MEDIA LITERATE! I've noticed clocks are a theme in your work actually!

[@diamondshard88]

So, clown seemed to be a way to cope with being alone as a child, seeing as it was comforting WC in Caboose and seemed mad/disappointed when Hawley(I think that's how it's spelled) comforted WC instead. (TW: talking about the Sunshine short, nothing beyond breif mentions of stuff, but still) (Also, I know it's worded weirdly, if I'm rude or anything apologies) My guess for clock is that it represents the loss "child time" for lack of a better word. Basically, all the times you're forced to act older than you are. That's why it shows up so prominently in Sunshine, as SA is one of the biggest pushes towards adulthood. My big guess for the series is that each era will have a big focus on the problems shown by one creature. WC era is focused on clown, since that's the biggest concern, and Modern era is either focused on dealing with each one, or focused on clock, as that seems to be more focused on the looking back on everything and seeing how messed up everything was

[@yourturntooyasumi]

I’m sorry about everything, I really hope you’re doing better now. Stay safe.

[@SpicaStudios6427]

I love that the bloopers sound like there are multiple people in the room XD

[@HairlessCatBackup]

the sass in the “THE PIECE OF MY US PUZZLE I LOST”(sorry if it seemed rude/creepy)

[@PetPyves]

I really did speak like that as a kid haha! Being autistic, I think it was mostly because I mimicked how cartoon characters spoke 😭

[@HairlessCatBackup]

@ lol it was sassy sounding

[@HairlessCatBackup]

@ it was funny because when I was little I just spoke in Elsa voices 🥲

[@Suki_will_destroy_all]

@@PetPyves OMG me too!. I would act like anime characters, mainly the main character from Glitter force. No wonder why I ended up being so lonely lol

[@Minoka_kit]

@Suki_will_destroy_all Glitter force mentioned. I have been summoned

[@EverXiong]

When I was little someone taught me how to play Cloud Racing I just learned that the passed They were so young, I was so young

[@summer2.0]

If you want to skip to the bloopers to make yourself happy here is the timestamp: 12:44

[@The_Sigma_Radio_Demon]

I’m so sorry you’ve dealt with sick horrible stuff… I’m glad you’ve gotten better, we’re here for you❤

[@Mrsilly123BLEHH]

Bro u know shit’s messed up when fucking *ALASTOR* FEELS BAD(this is a joke)

[@beatajasinska1422]

13:00 Ah yes, I know some Sims👍 13:13 Very wise words Hawley. Every person in the whole wide world should know that. 😌

[@3lla._.r0se]

I’m sorry you had to go through that. No one should go through bullying, depression and other mental/physical issues. I hope your doing okay now. 😢

[@PierceRenee-t7l]

W.C wanting to be a garbage man KILLED me XD shes so silly and precious kids can be so strange sometimes 🤣

[@Ozz_buddy21]

You're so amazing being able to talk about things that have happened to you, I hope you're alright now and/or recovering to being alright.

[@isabelgruner3117]

I’m so interested to learn more about these creatures… like the jester one or the clock one… they seem to be representations of existential dread or depression… I could be wrong, that’s just my best guess. I’m excited to learn more though!

[@fLoOr8008]

I love your animations and drawings, give a lot of people support knowing that they might’ve shared similar experiences. you’re amazing!!!!

[@Endtherinbetween]

this has made me realise how messed up some parts of my life have been, thank you, I probably would’ve never realised otherwise

[@Aaornkittycat]

YAAAY YEAR 5 :333.Also I'm very sorry this happened :(

[@KingPikachu32]

Someone understands Autism (And what it's like having it) thank you so much! I've really needed this as a spirit lifter even though i have just got here i feel so well connected with this channel. This video envoked so much emotion in me that i didn't know was possible. I see the trauma that you have gone through and how you've used it to grow. If i'm going to be honest i was also the weird bullied kid but maybe its ok because trains always need their caboose so we all still have our place in this world, some just haven't found their's yet. Thank you for making me see a silver lining in life (I also did cloud racing when i was younger so i can relate :)

[@TreetheTree-r6h]

Being with someone else on the Tire Swing was the most carefree, happy, blissfully peaceful experience you could ever have. And then being along on the Tire Swing somehow had you ascending to a greater consciousness as you ponder what purpose we could possibly have upon this slowly crumbling earth we as a society brought to its demise on our own will.

[@SpoopTheArtist-ru1lb]

I got really mad when I saw that yt turned off the comments on episode 56. I’m so sorry that happened to you Hawley. I hope that your doing better now and that some one was able to help you stop the SA.

[@PetPyves]

It was me. I turned off the comments because I didn’t want people over sharing explicit details about the topic and I am still adamant about people being safe and respectful here

[@catsthebest1237]

Honestly the second I saw the comments were turned off I know why just by thinking about why the comments would be turned off also I completely agree with the decision to

[@WolfgangXP65-67]

Were people already doing so or was the decision made during uploading?

[@AdminAddy]

Hawley, I just really want to say- Thank you. You sharing your stories has given me a chance to think about life quite a lot. I finally got the extra push I needed to go to therapy myself too and I'd like to say it's because of you and your sharing of your life. We're all excited to see the next generation to Blue Bird and we're all here for you now.

[@Nuggetz663]

2:43 IT’S NOT

[@YOUR_DAILY_SHIPWRECK]

Hawley honestly your art style is actually so cool !! i LOVE it

[@Eliza-Peanut]

I'm litterly so sorry for you, I can't believe how much you've been through, I can't believe how horrible people can be. I also understand why you don't want people sharing story's, bc then they might compare trauma which is just silly to compare. Everyone deals with things differently and it can affect them differently too, I hope your okay now...

[@Leaf-093]

You deserve so much better and if mother nature was a person I guarantee she would take you in arms loves your video❤❤❤❤❤

[@-Moonlit_Walx-]

This is so cute and depressing at the same time

[@Moon_ray6]

Me and my friends have been watching this project for a long time now we have shared your videos between ourselves we all agree we love your art style and agree it’s pretty relatable and sad though but we will never stop watching hope your doing well =]

[@This-is-chaos]

These make me so sad I am so sorry you've gone through this🫂

[@Asherødidnthearu]

I’m so sorry about all your traumas. I wish you didn’t have to live through them.

[@JohnNielsen-k8t]

13:35 "I'M NOT ANIMATING THAT" I WOULD NOT ANIMATE IT EITHER

[@LittlkittyMC-c6s]

Hello petpyves! I’ve been watching since about ep 15 and I love your channel SO much. I can relate to the stim SOOO muchhhh 😭 I’m sorry this happening to you. All of it. I hope you the best 🥰

[@Fnfb125]

Thank you wild child for reminding us all to beeve and take a dink break I will dink my oiter now 👍💚

[@beans-kinda-slay101]

no one should ever go through this.. we as a community are hear for you ❤

[@M033Y_W01F]

Wild child half dying and seeing a spider in the bloopers will never not be funny to me-

[@chasefreedman14]

Life is fragile, in all its shapes and colors, it stands to question what carries people in the direction that they go, how they do it, the unbearable nature of things. Yet, some times we forget how small we are, humans are so perfectly insignificant its absolutely astounding we go on like the way we do. It’s sickening how we continue to fight on, when the simple truth is we are pointless in this world. And yet, this series distracts me from that, thank you.

[@FazbearEdits-d2h]

The garage man story is so adorable!

[@Jaded_Jasper]

Damn, year five hit like hell

[@Puppet-td2rf]

13:21 Literally my reaction seeing a spider😂

[@1EatcookiesandCrayons]

I like watching Wild Child grow up even if she hast to deal with her crazy mom she makes it seem OK somehow when it’s definitely not. Thank you for sharing your story with us Hawly

[@Glitterhammyrawr5784]

I'm sorry this happened to you Hawley i hope everything is okay now i also have have autism and i do like boy clothes and boy toys i am a tomboy and my dad trys to force me to wear girl clothes i didn't like wearing girls clothes (sometimes i did) but my mom... she allows me to wear boys clothes i really love my mom but not that well(she is kinda mean to me when i don't do something...)

[@whouni]

I’m not gonna make a comment on the tw stuff, because I really don’t have the perspective to talk, but wow, I really loved this series, your animations are so pretty and you have such great use of sound effect and lighting, art style and emotion. Absolutely beautiful, I can’t wait to see more. Lots of love.

[@brendanolasco86]

11:04 parole same thing happened to me and my school the teachers didn't let us like eat it 😭

[@Conrad547]

I hope you can heal, im so sorry and i hope you get justice and find peace with wild child🙏

[@charleighdewitt9441]

Honestly what that man did to you is vial. No children should go through being exploited, and it's honestly DISGUSTING of what he did to you, I hope you feeling better now pet Pet pyves

[@megancarpenter2951]

I'm sry u had to go through all this..

[@PaperyOn_YT]

13:02 best blooper in my opinion

[@Puppet-td2rf]

Agree

[@Koifish-z4v]

We love you, don’t forget this, you are an amazing creator. I am one with a sibling that has autism. I hope you know that you are special and loved by all of us!

[@ohno_deerlady]

I do the same scratching head stim, mostly it happens when I get bored or zone out which happens very frequently in school, I do remember until like second grade I had to take speech classes cause I also couldn’t pronounce certain things I still can’t say white correctly to this day.

[@Torchic_fries]

Now we have to wait for 6,7,8 until we get the bird ara

[@ghostboss5218]

I like the designs of the characters. Mostly my favorite one I like is wild child. She kind of represents me when I was little. I was. Really crazy as well. And excited.

[@sachicocoa9013]

11:20 call me crazy though, but I feel sad that you all killed and ate the gingerbread man... 😂😅

[@Bfdifan2763-hehe]

Why did yt hide this from me >:( but seriously, I’m so sorry you had to go through this, this must’ve been terrible

[@Edwiio]

At my school we did the ginger bread thing! But we decorated our own cookies and they disappeared! I found a clue in the gym saying they went back to the classroom :)

[@dontquestionmysearchhistory]

I used of the what think it imaginary friends (correct me if I'm wrong) hits close to home, I think this is great and you are so brave for being able to share you story, the good and the bad. I world can be cruel, but it can also be beautiful. also yes the train phase, you have no choice it will happen. also the spiderman phase, no idea why but it is the trans/autistic canon event for every trans guy I know, so did you get your spiderman phase and when? (this is very important for scientific research :)

[@Potato-uz8vq]

Tbh I can’t say anything that’s not already been said by other people about everything that happened, and I don’t even know if I’m qualified, so instead I’ll say this: You’re really good at making stuff, dude. Like, the voice acting? What sort of witchcraft did you employ?? I’m always amazed by the sheer range you have. Also of course the artwork is incredible. I really love the designs and how you incorporate the symbolism of those uncanny beasts that have started popping up especially.

[@Briii-l4x]

Oh Hawley.. I’m so sorry that happened to you…

[@LiuyOrichiri-yj5fj]

Last story just... Oh my god.... I'm so sorry... That happened to you- oh god you didn't deserve that, I wish the best for you in the future

[@loveanimal2675]

If I was around when you needed help or someone to be there for you then I would slap all the people who have ever hurt you & would comfort you because no one deserves to be hurt even if they are different than others which isn’t a bad thing I have ADHD so I understand being different I wish you had good parents like I do. Just so you know I think your better then the jerks who hurt you

For me when I turned 6 my hole world just crumbled

[@felisultra]

Oh my! I love the bloopers portion of Year 5, especially the parts where you started dehydrating like Spongebob and attempting to do Simslish (That's what the Sims language is) rather than saying "stims" correctly. But I do have to say that there were a lot of moments that you had to face throughout Year 5 that were really painful to remember. There are however some heartfelt scenes from there that we can connect from the Child of Wild! I hope you're doing alright Hawley!

[@SkylerFordwatts]

Screw society. We live like. Qurens qnd. Kings . Not perfect but trying afe hardest we be. Who you want to be also be. Nice ( to those people out there struggling)also please don't give up ❤
