RPG | Animation Meme | Thank you for 150k!! | WARNING- Glitch Effects

WHEW ive been sitting on this for 6 months. I was getting a lot of subscribers early this year so I was like "welp, better make a video early so that I don't miss the milestone!" and then I stopped getting new subscribers LOL.
Puck and the Magic Flute is hugely inspired by video games I grew up playing, so doing this meme only felt natural!! The spritework was all done freehand by me, but I referenced Pokemon trainer sprites, Link from Minish Cap, and Drawn to Life characters to get the style and proportions right :)

[@superflyghtheart]

👀 👀 👀 👀 DAMN GOTHFROG DON'T MISS THIS IS FANTASTIC!!!! I literally love everything about this to pieces I've been following your animations for a couple of years (found you through Wings!) and I've been too shy to comment until now but just WOW WOW I love the aesthetic I love how you worked the song lyrics into your story I LOVE the bouncy character animation especially for the profile select and AAA THE LINELESS LAST PART IT'S SO FLUID AND THE COLOR CHOICE IS SO GOOD AND YOUR STORY...God I'd become a patron if I could it's just!!!!!!!!! Wow wow everything you do is just so gosh darn inspiring honestly But ah!! If you don't mind me going off, I have some thoughts about the story from this!! It seems like based on the character profiles, there's someone who hasn't been introduced yet, or maybe locked away?? Who maybe has a REAL negative influence on the main characters...maybe the main antagonist? Maybe whoever (or more likely, whatever) was behind the Turtle Door in your Americas meme, or even the man in your Experimental Flower Map Part who was tempting Robin with technology, maybe in that white and gold city briefly featured in your Choice meme?? Maybe something Robin thinks will save her home (I also have thoughts of the fourth character being Marmalade or being related to Marmalade even though they seem like a comic relief character, just based on the orders of characters appearing and the fact Marmalade was scorned from the group; this is kinda a crack theory, but I think that the fact that the flower that represents them is orange and I can't think of any other characters associated with orange other than maybe Robin...maybe they had a connection to Marmalade?). But yeah I love as how the fourth character profile gets glitchier, the other characters begin to snap, as if it has a negative influence over them? Puck seems to be INTENSELY overwhelmed, angry and frustrated and it seems like her powers are spilling over - maybe she's frustrated by Robin seeming to not listen to her like in the Experimental Flower Map Part? The fact her status is "overheating" seems like she thought the quest would be a lot more fun than it's turned out to be, and she's building up anger...But with "Second Child" replacing her character profile, it makes me wonder if she sees herself as inadequate to someone else? Or maybe that large forest spirit that's probably her mom literally had a child before her, and that child failed their quest? Maybe Puck was like "ah yeah this will be simple, I can pick after the pieces of my older siblign!" and then hasn't been able to and the expectations are crushing her and man she's like what. twelve?? Let her chill on Marnie's back for awhile... Robin's profile seems to confirm stuff we already knew from this channel's content, with the "file corrupted," "failure's not an option," and her holding the triangle technology, it seems like Robin is going down a dark path that Puck and Nymph probably don't agree with!! Considering she's the only human of the group it makes sense she probably doesn't have that inherent connection to the earth like they do, but is still willing to do everything to save the people and places she loves. She definitely seems to have the most drive!! Unfortunately by "corrupted", it seems like that drive is being manipulated... Nymph meanwhile seems to have an arc about his mother being overbearing and toxic, possibly abusive, and if Puck has expectations being placed on her by her mother, than Nymph has them tenfold!! It seems like his mother is pressuring him to take on the responsibilities she has, and he's cracking under the pressure (hence the "overloaded...disconnect power source"). But!! The fact they call him the heart of the ocean, maybe he was born with more power than she ever had? Or at the very least he's born with a very deep innate power that he's feeling overwhelmed by...it's possible his mother has also been overwhelmed by this power, but instead of trying to fight it, she just accepts it, and is trying to get her son to accept it too (so maybe there's a theme of generational trauma? And Nymph needs to become "disconnected" in order to recover?) And then the last character profile...it goes from "character locked" to "file unavailable" and changes to "singing" as its character profile...I'm not sure yet what to make of all this honestly :'D But! I think if something goes from "locked" to "unavailable," and then with the flower being gone, maybe it's talking about a different character? Or at least a character who's much more corrupted, emotionally "unavailable" anymore instead of just being "locked", with their only sign of plantlife disappearing and going grey (maybe something to do again with technology?) Considering the next scenes with the characters responding to their spirits, it seems like the story has themes of each of the spirits trying to find balance!! The Earth Spirit is clearly concerned about the flood, and maybe already sent their first child along? (also I wonder if the corrupted character might also be this "first child"?) And then we get the sky spirit - considering the fact Robin is human, it's likely the Sky Spirit has no children, or no one they feel confident in sending on this mission? Considering they're the Sky Spirit, they could probably see Robin's distress! They likely saw her drive in saving their home, and wanted to propose that she COULD save her home...if she had the power maybe. Seems like this might have been the start of why Robin started listening to the suited man and took on that probably dangerous technology!! Seems like the Sky Spirit is being a little taunting, a little coy, so maybe they don't entirely trust Robin is able to do it? I don't remember the name of the large hummingbird that Robin is friends with (maybe that's the Sky Spirit's child, haha), but maybe the bird chose her first, and then the Sky Spirit had to be like "ah so this kid might be worth something...maybe", or!! The hummingbird was a gift from the Sky Spirit as a test of Robin's dedication to her quest? It doesn't seem like the Sky Spirit has high hopes for her, but we know Robin can do it!! Right...? I think the most interesting scene honestly is with Nymph's mom, who's clearly the Ocean spirit! While the Earth Spirit seems to think that the balance of the planet is off, the Ocean Spirit seems to believe that this is the world healing!! Maybe she flooded the world in response to human activity (hence the themes of technology that Robin seems to be being persuaded is a good thing, but the other spirits think is a bad idea)? Also with Marnie being the last of her kind, it seems like things are generally a bit messy...The Ocean Spirit seems to be self isolating and isn't communicating with the other spirits, seemingly instead trying to cling onto Nymph staying around her, keeping the world flooded, and hopefully having Nymph continue her work, which Nymph does not seem keen on!! Maybe he doesn't know at first she's keeping the world in a stagnant state out of a sense of "keeping it alive", but he might have figured out, considering the Blood//Water Map Part!!! (Ohhh that makes me wonder if with the line "you poisoned me just to keep another dollar in your pocket" from that part has something to do with...maybe the Ocean Spirit put the source of the Ocean IN Nymph??? Maybe that's why his corrupted profile is "heart of the ocean" and why she comes off as very abusive!! Maybe she's turned him INTO the ocean, maybe tied his life to it? And he's really not happy about that!!) Either way, the Ocean Spirit seems to have a very strong idea on how to fix things, and won't listen to any other ideas, being controlling and maybe even manipulative...(Oh but her eyes are covered too so they could be leaking as well...as well as her hair being running water, so maybe she's trying to make him into the state she's in!! Maybe a situation of like "hey I went through this horrible situation you have to too or it's not fair" because she seems fairly abusive, or seeing this as for the "greater good", and wanting him to take over while she's gone!) My last thoughts are uh basically!! What if the lost child of the earth spirit is the tree in the Choice Meme? Still don't know what to make of the sea monster in that meme either, but maybe has something to do with "the Ocean Spirit killed the First Child of the Earth Spirit?" A bit of a wild take but!! That large tree seems important and doesn't seem to be Marnie's tree since the back of the island seems too lumpy... I don't have any thoughts on the ending segment but i LOVE this so much I love your story and I hope this wasn't too long keep being awesome!!!

[@Gothfrog]

i had so much fun reading this comment, you have no idea!! i can't confirm or deny anything you've speculated about but it means so much to me that you care enough about these little guys that live in my brain to try and piece together what's going on from all the videos i've posted ;v;

[@superflyghtheart]

@@Gothfrog AH I'M GLAD YOU ENJOYED!! :D You're stuff is so so inspiring and dw about disclosing anything!! I tend to be the kind of writer who dumps everything on everybody who's willing to give me an ear, so mad respect for being able to keep everything a mystery until you get the time/resources to make your story into a reality!! I care about these guys so much tbh they have such a strong aesthetic that's honestly so inspiring (I love the video game story aesthetic!! very very appealing) and I love every bit of their personalities (they're so vibrant and human tbh you can tell they're all each different people with wildly different experiences who are all coming together and trying to figure things out) and I'm SO intrigued by the world and plot and can't wait for more!!! Congrats on 150k subscribers also!! You're doing so many awesome things and I'm glad other people agree haha Keep going!! Your work is fantastic and I hope you keep making the things you love!! Edit: (AAaaaaah I just watched the Roses meme again and had more thoughts. Definitely seems like the Earth Spirit was attacked, probably by the Ocean Spirit!!! but I wonder what the Sky Spirit had to do with this possible interaction since they're seen attacking while crying 👀 Seems like their cool exterior may be a facade...OKAY yes thank you again I just aaa love your stuff so much. Hopefully the main three won't repeat this maybe conflict, and maybe they can even heal the scars from it...BUT yes again just thank you for listening to my rambly thoughts it means the world to me ;u;)
