Riley's Trauma - An Inside Out 2 Storyboard (ORIGINAL)

THIS IS FAN MADE
When Riley's emotions are bored out of their minds on a long, stormy car drive to a hotel vacation, something sparks Fear out of nowhere...
PLEASE NOTE: IT'S A CAR ACCIDENT, RILEY IS ALIVE
Creator Notes: Spent a full month and a half every single day working on this baby- I did NOT mean for it to come out this long! This was a passion project dedicated to Inside Out 2 being an absolute banger of a movie.
Its hilarious how much my art style changed WHILE working on this, since I kind of worked on it backwards lol. But I hope you all enjoy the laughs, cries, and HUH that come with all my work~

Please note: *NOBODY IS DEAD!!!* Riley and her parents were caught in a car accident, BUT NOBODY IS DEAD!! More will be revealed in part 2, which is right here!! - kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5StXquOlMSHj6s *Edit: 1 MILLION VIEWS ARE YOU KIDDING ME IM GOING TO ACTUALLY CRY

OHHH OKAY

[@boredreindeer5602]

Okay

[@Sunset_Shimmer_Fan_]

Here goes: Riley and her parents were on their way to their hotel that night on vacation. While driving tho, they crashed into another car, and Riley looses consciousness in the process. The accident was so severe however that it was only a matter of time before Riley would succumb to her injuries after the crash. Meanwhile in her mind, Slimy black scum with the words ‘doom’ starts rising around headquarters. It breaks through the glass, spreading across the floor and reaching to grab the emotions with its sticky black tentacles. This indicates that Riley is running out of time to live, and the only thing the emotions can do is pray for a miracle. All the emotions try to escape, but it was no use. There was no escape from the doom. All the emotions end up swallowed up by the black scum. All hope seemed lost until Anxiety takes Ennui’s phone and plays a familiar song in her head. It plays as Anxiety takes her last breath, and there was nothing left but an empty control room full of black smudge, all while the song continues to play; in the hopes that maybe, just MAYBE it’s not the end for them after all.

Fear being the one responsible for ‘the black-out’ made my heart ache. Usually in traumatic experiences, when you try to recall what happened it’s all just- blank. It’s like a black hole intervening in your memory. It’s such a cool detail

I really love how Fear temporarily becomes locked in place like Anxiety was during Riley's panic attack after he unintentionally causes her to completely mentally shut down. The poor guy has always considered it his duty to keep Riley safe from any perceived danger, I can't imagine how he'd feel knowing he not only failed to save her but ended up causing her such extreme psychological damage that it literally consumes everyone including him. This was a very well written animatic and i'm very much looking forward to seeing where this goes 👍👍👍

[@bats159]

[@redpineapplee700]

I like how the darkness encroaching upon HQ could represent *Dissociatve Amnesia* , a protective mechanism deployed by the _brain_ to help an individual cope with highly traumatic events. When Dissociative Amnesia is brought on by a traumatic experience, your brain blocks out memories of said experience as a means of coping. Often times, the memory or memories of said experience are still within the brain, however, the individual cannot access them.

[@autumn948]

As someone who (I can't ever be certain, but I'm pretty god damn sure) goes through this myself, I'm pretty sure you hit the nail on the head there. It's literally blocking out all the faculties of the brain, and killing off all emotions.

[@TheSlideCell]

It would be cool if they'd represent this by having its corresponding memories shatter or go white or something.

[@Ogfloppa2]

But what about the part where the black goo tries dodging anger? I think it knows that anger can overcome it. I think the black goo can also represent the blackout itself. Since anger (adrenaline) can sometimes overcome blackouts. Also, the emotions here are temporarily being erased, which happens during blackouts. Idk, please tell me if im wrong and where I went wrong

Just the *look* on Fear’s face. Of any of Riley’s emotions he has been the only one to assume the absolute worst. Grabbing that control to spare her the moment of impact might very well have been the last thing any of them will ever do for her. And Fear *gets* that.

This could easily be another sequel where they explore trauma and show off a new emotion - survivor's guilt. Our mc goes through a traumatic experience, the gang tries to navigate through said trauma, and tries to process things, while in the background, a giant shadow breaks into HQ. This slimy, icky, and intrusive being known as guilt makes himself at home. The others are confused and ask who he is, and he coyly states, "Hello, everyone. I am Guilt. And as of today, I'm the one in control."

I can imagine trauma as a new “emotion” that appears after a person experiences a very traumatic event in their life; their appearance mimics the event(s) that caused them to show up in the first place. They wouldn’t know why they’re here but they would cause a lot of pain towards the person unintentionally, messing with what emotion is being portrayed; IE joy could be in control and yet the memory reflects anger or fear.

This is interesting! Fear causing a "black out" response which gets characterized as a black flood is really unique!! The interactions here are really on point. Fear getting stuck on the controls like anxiety does in the movie shows that pure panic and being scared for your life in those few seconds before impact. As someone whos been in a crash it truly is just a few seconds but feels like an eternity. To protect you your brain makes you pass out and also just not remember what just transpired! This is very well made, the art, the storytelling, the dialog, everything! And the right amount of comedy thrown in!

I know this is moreso a take on physical + emotional trauma (like accidents where you get injured and it alters how you think during or post-trauma), but god it is so accurate for purely emotional trauma too. Thanks for making this, was this made on paper because if it was, it adds a lot to how trauma affects the mind! Can't wait for part 2 The music also adds a lot to the situation, like holy moly- I felt the way you intended the scene to feel and you did SO GOOD with the expression work. Edit: NOT THE TRIPLEDENT GUM COMMERCIAL, THAT KILLED ME

[@bats159]

You got it spot on! This is like, when you try to remember what exactly happened but everything is black and your emotions are in a frenzy trying to comprehend it since it hurt you so much. Riley is unconscious now, but wait till she wakes up and we see the trauma choose a *form* Thanks so SO much for such kindness and support! I REALLY hope the music doesnt get me a copyright strike ;; Expressions for these kinds of characters can be hard but Im so proud I could do them justice! Thank you once more

[@lucianshaw6541]

On watching this multiple times, it actually makes sense that ennui was the first to be captured by the "trauma goo" since boredom was the last emotion she felt before the crash, anf boredom would be the first thing to leave her mind once the crash happened... While anxiety lasted to the very end. Maybe signifying she was anxious to the very end moment of passing out..

Wow! I admit I hadnt thought of it that way!

Basically, the furnace scene from Toy Story 3, but with Inside Out. Still, this is impressive. Well done.

[@theashpanofacharcoalgrill]

This was so amazingly done. Ur artstyle is so wonderfully zany while carrying a lilt of the original artstyle of the movie, it makes it so dynamic and fresh while still feeling nicely familiar to the source material. All the interactions and the scene progression is top notch, insanely in-character for not just the emotions but for the movies themselves. This would totally happen I think, it literally feels like smth one of the directors would make and I had to double check that this wasnt some deleted scene or posted by a person who worked on the movie/s. Also Anxiety would TOTALLY be the last one standing, and I absolutely ADORE how u characterized her, it was humorous but completely in touch with her real personality. I feel like sometimes ppl have a hard time characterizing her and fear as uniquely different from eachother, but u rlly nailed it. I love their interactions in this, I was kinda dreading the possibility this would be ship material of them but I'm glad that wasn't in here. Idk I cannot get over the last minute w her talking to herself, it blew my mind actually, did I already say u hit the fucking nail on the head with her personality??? And I rlly felt her panic while also laughing at her manic smile and her "this is fine (it absolutely is not)" attitude. Thank you so much for this food.
