Porter Robinson & Madeon - Shelter Reaction!

[@palintear1]

"Shelter tells the story of Rin, a 17-year-old girl who lives her life inside of a futuristic simulation completely by herself in infinite, beautiful loneliness. Each day, Rin awakens in virtual reality and uses a tablet which controls the simulation to create a new, different, beautiful world for herself. Until one day, everything changes, and Rin comes to learn the true origins behind her life inside a simulation."

[@alphakingkilu3537]

Palantir what got me the most when I realize it was the teddy bear shown through the video as it was a gift from her dad and she keep the memory with her even though she forgot.

[@qrowacheron230]

most people interpret that her father sent her off into space to avoid dying from a massive event. she can use the tablet to change the view.

[@timrou]

I dont understand. every time someone reacts to shelter they dont understand something as simple as: Earth goes boom, but before that loving dad built a virtual reality machine/rocket for his daughter, now she lives in virtual reality in space.

[@Kyle-xb8us]

Crimson Void ikr

[@marksullivan2978]

Didn't see the whole picture until my second watch through. Then it truly blew me away.

[@gsfs8208]

Crimson Void I KNOW

[@ellxsandranoratora]

same but also why no one try's to read the note

[@official_ninjadoc]

EXACTLY! YES! I mean wtf? It really puzzles me, that not 1 person that I showed this to, could understand this simple story...So I recommended that they watch it at least 2x and no one did it, because they thought they got all the details...So I always have to explain the plot which makes me wonder why I even recommended it to these people in the first place.

[@dhanang]

4:21 There's a headline news about the condition of earth 4:24 Her dad builds a small spaceship for her 4:47 Another planet about to collide with the earth 4:51 The view of that other planet from earth 5:03 Her dad sends her to the space

[@ouioui9284]

It’s simple as, “I am here because my father has given up so much for me. Though I am alone here, even if I have no one to talk to, I will be strong and I will live for my father.” Message is, “parents sacrifice so much for their children, even if it meant they had to lose themselves apart of the process, they wish the best of you and they’ll always build a *shelter* for you, they’re always there for you.” That is the main message Porter Robinson wants to get across. You don’t need to comprehend anymore than that.

[@davidl7605]

the earth was ruined. So her dad built her a spaceship. And he only had enough room to build a ship that could fit her.

[@Aria_Sora]

From what i can tell is that the world was ending and her dad was trying to save her and let her live. Beautiful video. And very very emotional without many words.

[@davidl7605]

Thank you so much for doing SHELTER!! Keep up the great work!!! I hope you liked it!!

[@Le7emeChat]

Oky. First it is a stand alone music video. (oh also first: Not English native, plz be forgiving) - Second: The Shelter music video description tell us:"Shelter tells the story of Rin, a 17-year-old girl who lives her life inside of a futuristic simulation completely by herself in infinite, beautiful loneliness. Each day, Rin awakens in virtual reality and uses a tablet which controls the simulation to create a new, different, beautiful world for herself. Until one day, everything changes, and Rin comes to learn the true origins behind her life inside a simulation." - Next, her "box" is a copy of her bedroom. - Fourth: The first time I saw it, mid-video, I was: "it's a mix between a Superman and a matrix story: Last survivor of her planet send to space by her loving parent who could only built something big and sustainable enough for their child, and an eternal simulation where she can built the worlds she can imagine. - Fifth, about the Earth: at 4:21 of your video, TV-news show "current condition of Tokyo" at 4:47 we can see a very large round asteroid(or a very large moon or a dwarf planet) in collision course to the Earth (note that the view is from a Earth observation satellite, which mean the asteroid in closer to Earth that this observation satellite) at 4:51, 4:56, a view, from Earth of the incoming celestial body. at 5:09 we se her asleep in the spacecraft in space and the asteroid colliding with Earth in the background. - The dad's spacecraft at 4:24 - 4:26 The dad design the spacecraft for her at 4:53 The dad look at the spacecraft he is building. at 5:03 (not in order) her dad put her in the spacecraft with her teddy bear and put her in the simulation. at 5:01 the dad launch the spacecraft with her inside is artificial sleep, her conscience now protected in the virtual simulation. at 5:09 we se her asleep in the spacecraft in space and the asteroid colliding with Earth in the background.. - The reveal: She was put in the spacecraft at ten years old, the simulation was made to reveal her the true when she reach 17 years old, when she is strong enough to understand. The (last) number of day without message correspond at 7years. In her simulation with the plain and the rocks, she see a swing at a tree she did not draw (you can see looking at the tablet with surprise) and contact with the swing prompt a first wave of memory. the, on the day of her 17th birthday, the tablet draw a city by it self, and she fall true all the saved date in the tablet, throw as an invisible spectator of all those slice of her old life with which she can't interact. (they are, by definition, just 3d videos) In the end she land with a massage of her father on the tablet. this message is in Japanese, but a translation said: "To Rin From: DadThere was far too little time left after you were born. I wonder how much love I was able to show after your mother passed... Seeing you cheerful and well gave your old man courage.It really would have been better if we could have gone together, but I couldn't make it work. I thought I wanted you to forget everything and go forward...knowing you, you'll be okay. You'll realize your loneliness, and surely remember me.I believe that you'll grow strong and read this letter. I wish we could have made more memories. I'm sorry. When you were little you probably didn't understand well, but now you should.I'll say the words from that day once more." So... Here you go. Hope it help.

[@ellxsandranoratora]

thak you

[@JonathanDiaz-tk1tx]

Yes!!!! i was looking forward to you seeing this. The video is kinda sad once you know what's going on, but the animation is beautiful and it really goes with the music.

[@zachhecita]

Wow, thank you for the great reaction. didn't expect to see my comment in a video, thanks for that to. It seems you might have to rewatch the music video to asborb everythng, but if you do, pay attention to the reflection outside her spaceship, when she's leaving Earth. You see the other planet collide with Earth.

[@OpeningYugioh]

The premise is; a planet was going to crash into the planet, but her dad designed a special spaceship and sent her into outer space. The iPad type device allows her to create her own world so she can draw what type of world she wanted to be in. But as she sees all those worlds in reality she's still in outer space wired to the ship.

[@AndragonLea]

As far as I can tell she is one (maybe the only) survivor of a catastrophic event on Earth. Her father was a scientist who designed and built a small spaceship to rescue her, unfortunately not having the time to construct one big enough for two. Her mind is in a type of virtual reality and the tablet is used to control her surroundings. That letter she gets at the end is a message from her father, programmed for delivery when she finally remembers the traumatic experiences that led to her current conditions.

[@コヌイチ]

fun fact: in the end when we see her in the pod there is a digital map next to her and it looks like there is a set destination. My guess her father found either a liveable planet or set the pod to go to the ship every other human survivor is located. If that is the case she may not actually be the last existing human but rather the latest one to leave. Credits to the owner of this

[@viking-astronaut]

I'm totally not crying even though I watched this like a hundred times already.... 😭

[@ReklawLah]

Wow, you are really hitting all my reaction highlights... RWBY, Overwatch, Shelter... now you just need to do Llamas with Hats! :D

[@DimondMilk]

Thank you for your reaction, as well as the call out from my request. Made my day :-D. Shelter is actually a very complex short / music video. There is a lot going on in the video, each little flash tells a LOT of information, but you don't realize it at the time. As many have already described, it is an apocalyptic event that has ended humanity. There are little hints throughout the video that weren't mentioned by others that flip by, little by little, forming the story hidden in the story. For example, there are some lighting effects that mimic the breaking of the horizon as one celestial object nears another. 2:28 shows this. 2:59 does as well. Small fragments of memories are creeping into her consciousness. Some others like the image of the object in the background in the bath are more obvious. 4:16 also shows something more insidious as she playing in the sand box, she joyfully shows two round dirt balls colliding towards each other in her play, not realizing that she is depicting her and her fathers impending demise in her innocence. There is something much deeper in this for me however, which is why I wanted to share it with you. For me this was a real tear jerk-er. I am a father of three girls, and this message of sacrifice for his own daughter broke me down to tears. The dad in the video, knowing he could not save her, provided her with shelter to continue as full a life as he could provide her. And at the right time, reveals to her the truth about her situation. What can any parent do for a child when nothing can be done? The answer is 'everything'. That message feels so true to me as I almost lost one of my own daughters to tragedy and in that moment I felt that same helplessness, and reacted the same way the dad did. I provided for her with everything I could, even if I could only protect her for a short time. Thank you for this treat. Also, as I've said before, pace yourself girl. There is a lot to see and do in this big wide interwebs, be sure to spend the time for you to enjoy it. We will take things when they come, but if you aren't happy and healthy and enjoying yourself, then the ride isn't worth it.

[@zeph0shade]

There are definitely at least a couple of major points about the animation that I don't understand why some people have such a hard time noticing XD For instance: Several people got the impression that she's stuck in a little glass box? Pretty sure that's just what she invented to be like "her room" in this VR simulation because she's clearly running through fields and exploring the worlds she creates in several scenes. Her dad saved her from the total destruction of Earth. That part was slightly more ambiguous but you do actually get a glimpse of a little planet smashing into the Earth just after she gets sent into space. I feel like some people really just overanalyze all the little tiny things and miss some of the more blatant imagery. Also I recommend looking up the translation for the message she received from her dad at the end.

[@Derelium]

I cried for a week cuz of the story and song

[@RobinMelons]

This video made me think alot, as well make me cry.

[@LukasJampen]

The earth collided with another planet and her father designed a space ship to rescue her. But simce there is nobody alive and she'll be in space for the rest of her life he put her into a virtual reality and gave her the ability to create her own worlds. And the mail at the end was a message from her father that would be sent when she's old enough to learn the truth. And she could leave the box and change the world around the box. The box was just like a bedroom and centre for the simulation.

[@コヌイチ]

Very late reply, 4 years later but anyways.... fun fact: in the end when we see her in the pod there is a digital map next to her and it looks like there is a set destination. My guess her father found either a liveable planet or set the pod to go to the ship every other human survivor is located. If that is the case she may not actually be the last existing human but rather the latest one to leave.

[@mecaihidlao]

and his stuck on the space but her dad is died by crushing on mars

[@Ninja_d_Rabbit]

Thanks for checking out the video. Sorry that it confused you. I hope you enjoyed it. Thanks again for watching, I enjoy your reaction, and I hope you hve a good day.

[@kamanira]

Rin's story goes as follows: The worl is ending. There are multiple scenes that show this. At one scene, you can see the ruins of Tokyo, qnd a large planetary object hovering ominously above. In another, a tv shows a satellite image of a large planetary object within the lunar orbit, ready to impact Earth. The planetary object can also be seen briefly in flashbacks and as a large white object falling from the sky while in the simulation. When her father first learns of the collission force, he begins work on a self sustaining life pod with virtual reality capabilities. After it's completion, he celebrates every holiday and Rin's birthday all in one night, giving her one last moment of happiness with her father before sending her off, saving her from the end, but unable to go with her. Fast forward 8-10 years. Rin is now 16. Over the years, Rin has almost completely forgotten about her old life, having been In the simulation from a young age. The simulation her father made was her world, and being alone was just apart of it. But then, starting with the swing, her memories begin to return. Then, finally, like a broken dam, the memories flood back, the simulation forcing her into the world she was born in, Earth. Suddenly, she remembers EVERYTHING. Her father, her home... And how it's all gone. Now she knows that she is the last living thing from Earth. Her home is gone. It was then that she finally realuzed just how alone, and now, scared she was. Thats when she received the message from her father, more than likely pre recorded, saying a bunch of things, such as: "I wanted to come with you, but there was no time." and many other things. This brought her back from the brink, and calmed her down. But niw she lives with the knowledge that she will forever be alone. However, if you pay close attention to the screens inside the pod, you'll see that the pod is on a trajectory towards the sun that is altered as it reaches Earth's orbital path, implying that at least SOMETHING is there. Thats pretty much it. A story of loss and loneliness. PS She was never trapped inside a box, think of it as her bedroom. She can leave when she wants, shown by the scenes of her walking around.

[@isaacevilman7586]

As can be seen, a large celestial body was on a collision course with the Earth. Her father, knowing he didn't have enough time to save both himself and his daughter, he created a virtual reality space pod so that his daughter could live on. The translation of the message she received at the end is, "To Rin From: Dad There was far too little time left after you were born. I wonder how much love I was able to show after your mother passed... Seeing you cheerful and well gave your old man courage. It really would have been better if we could have gone together, but I couldn't make it work. I thought I wanted you to forget everything and go forward...knowing you, you'll be okay. You'll realize your loneliness, and surely remember me. I believe that you'll grow strong and read this letter. I wish we could have made more memories. I'm sorry. When you were little you probably didn't understand well, but now you should. I'll say the words from that day once more."I cried the first few times I watched this...

[@kashbugg97]

Oh my god! YES! This video is amazeballs! YAAASSS! also damn I am sure early today EDIT: like half of your reaction was you, thinking about the emaning of it, only interrupted by sudden "uuh that's pretty!" utterrances XD love it :3

[@EmilioReyes_97]

Don't worry about taking a break on RWBY, it's the best way to enjoy a show.

[@CapTrigger]

YES SHELTER, man this song is amazing. I think the one thing you missed is the during the flashback, that implies some world ending event. Rewatch it again with that in mind and maybe things will click.

[@VdeAntipaticos]

I was happy and sad about the history. Happy because her father tried to improve her world, and sad for her loneliness. Don't worry beautiful, you make two videos every day and I can imagine how tiring it is for you. Take care, and rest if necessary. I hope you're well.

[@DStein22]

She is blending with the background

[@cykalay4731]

Not crying at all now But lots of goosebumps and sad feelings

[@rmdur7567]

The most powerful six minutes in all history.

[@reneesalinas]

😭😭😭 This stupid video makes me cry every time I watch it!! Why does it have to be so emotional and amazing!?

[@onisprite]

Keep in mind that she has been in that simulation for YEARS!

[@marksullivan2978]

Fantastic piece of entertainment.

[@sokosemske8396]

*intense sobbing*

[@annieberardino8732]

“She gunna wake up?!” girl: is floating in dead space with no humans left to rescue her. Me: I HOPE THE FUCK NOT!!!

[@davidl7605]

So, how did you like it? Another great reaction video. I could suggest something like that in the future? Also on when is your next Q&A? I would like to know what your interested in. So I can make some suggestions for you to react to. Hope your day is going good!! Mine is. Anyway have a great day !!!!

[@ippy63]

incoming some anime series requests i got some myself too lovely vid btw

[@zachhecita]

I think she would enjoy Little Witch Academia. The two main characters remind me soo much of Weiss and Ruby.

[@ippy63]

agree but let wait till she finish rwby oh dat volume 3

[@zachhecita]

You're right, I want her to be able to process the series before jumping into new shows. I also don't want her to be put off from picking up an anime, she thinks is like RWBY. I could already imagine some people suggesting Puella Magi Madoka Magica as a feel-good series for coping with Volume 3.

[@BattousaiHBr]

she should watch bikini warriors ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[@ippy63]

BattousaiHBr god no :)) konosuba opm SAO abridged silly stuffs like that would fit her more

[@wahasai1489]

Nowdays i'm not be real me, i just fake my expression. And keeping my real feeling inside. I feel souless. "Please help me"

[@chantaviasanders1003]

people say the earth was destroyed by meteor or or a comet no it was destroyed by another planet that was 5/10 the size of earth

[@inkoinfinity2]

It's a pretty sad video once you get the meaning

[@brandoncrowe6135]

Oh I just remembered there are fan made rwby trailer I belive the team name is SLVR

[@AP-pv6vk]

Try watching the video again , you'll notice more details the more you look at it 🙂

[@sarabellum7938]

Could you react to the cartoon pilot Infinity Train? The fandom mostly waits around for it to be greenlit, but we are here!

[@davidl7605]

yes she is in a simulation. Her father built her a spaceship because the earth was dieing. But he only had time to build one big enough for Her! very sad :(

[@davidl7605]

you should do carpool karaoke. the Salina Gomez and the Adele are great!!

[@angussan4769]

Ur thinking to much into this, its not a project or test or human experiment. Her father sent her to space to be safe and be the last human. And for the tablet she wakes up everyday creating her own world til one day she learns the truth behind her life in a simulation. And the letter at the end was from her dad before everything happened

[@thefiesta2334]

saddest reaction ever this made me cry so much

[@itsziel0703]

So what if your hated by a lot of people? It's better than having a life alone like her.

[@jordanvernon8190]

MY phone is the worst no notification My phone is grounded

[@haveaniceday3952]

How do some people don't get it, it's really simple just watch the clip

[@ViperleoneNevar]

I'd never seen 'Shelter' before, and I have to say, 'twas pretty good. Solid 7.5/10 stuff here. Thank you Molly and apparently, half the internet, for leading me into seeing something I would not otherwise have seen. May we all continue to share experiences.

[@gsfs8208]

Viperleone Nevar t'was 9.9/10

[@claptivity]

7.5 🗿

[@fellowman8796]

Care to react to the RvB(red vs blue)series, a series created by the same people who made RWBY? I mean, even the voice actors that are in RWBY soon appear in RvB! Check it out soon!

[@GreatEnglishGamers]

Hay molllyyy, if you don't mind bad language then you should watch rooster teeths red vs blue. It's really funny but the story is really good

[@andoryuumai368]

It's okay.....there's no need to rush for RWBY, btw, enjoy your vid..... :D

[@estebansebastian612]

A mi no me engañas, tu te has visto el video antes. No hay explicación para las conclusiones tan acertadas😂😂😂

[@BattousaiHBr]

since she did shelter might as well do me me me Kappa btw she reminds me of heather from idt. that's all i'm going to say.

[@tyzmart7586]

Read the description of the video

[@charlesbatitay6546]

why are u so worried about the hair color and the monitor and the simulations didnt u just see what happend to the earth and shes saved by her dad

[@GoldenTyga117]

can you do a reaction to after ever after 1 and 2 ? if you haven't already seen them they are amazing. also try not to laugh challenges by Adiktheone are amazing

[@DouglasTheProz]

Sad machine is a good song

[@gsfs8208]

Her name is Rin not Ran

[@jeffsama7601]

Why are you not crying😢

[@ats7485]

A bit like The Matrix or even Superman.

[@DouglasTheProz]

1. You talk to much. Just watch it and talk later. 2. Its a story of a 16 or 17 yeah old girl who is in a simulation and has been there for 7 years and her dad made a shelter for she can live because the world was struck my another planet or meteor and her dad made her a shelter for she can live in a simulation world
