S+ SHOCKING Story. Ren - The Tale of Jenny & Screech Trilogy (REACTION)

[@cas9065]

Thank you for your thoughts on Jenny and Screech. Love your reactions.

[@xFayze]

Omg... WOW. That is so kind of you! Thank you so much Cas that is incredibly generous. I did not expect this at all

[@ojayferojay478]

That’s I lovely gesture when people are so kind to donate money. It shows what wonderful kind person people are! I wish I had money to donate but these are hard times for everyone, I’m sure you can still appreciate the love people have inside..

[@gavin2678]

This trilogy is like a roller coaster with a brick wall at the end

[@xFayze]

Somehow this is the perfect description

[@thgeremilrivera-thorsen9556]

Nailed it.

[@matthewmotiuk2221]

Well said

[@GoodGirlGone]

Best description

[@tsumichama]

I think the real mastery of Violet's tale is how at first you're like who's Violet? What does she have to do with the other tales? Then he delivers that performance that just pulls you so deep in Violet's story that you forget about Jenny and Screech. And then the twist is like a slap in the face that you reminds you that this was a part of their tales for a reason

[@linmonash1244]

Ren really is a Master Lyricist and Storyteller. He flits across multiple genres to tell his tale, with Rap elements just one tool in his kit. His capacity to draw the Viewer into the tragedy and drama of each piece, like a Witness, while he lays bare the twists and turns of the human condition, is truly Shakespearian. Music and Drama Teachers and Lecturers are starting to bring Ren's work into their curriculum, for their students to study, and deservedly so. # Hi Ren! I wouldn't worry about any Grammy! This is a far more significant accolade. Meanwhile, Ren is not just spotlighting these stories for 'shock value' He leaves us unable to 'look away'. Why? So we can look at ways to take action - to prevent innocents from turning into yet more victims - and perpetrators.

[@cas9065]

I think this is supposed to lure us in through the beautiful storytelling to engage with circumstances that we would much rather not think about. Yes, the semblance of Violet and violent is powerful. Doubly, in Britain we talk about someone being a shrinking Violet when they are shy and silent, and Stevie paints her black and blue, violet. This is the cruellest story that Ren has. There is one equally dark, How to Be me. It is an equally important message, but it hits really hard. Can I suggest something completely different next, to get your mind out of Ren's dark and deep stuff? Go for What you want, which has a Beastie Boys vibe, or Losing It, which is just rap for fun and showing off. I hope you are ok.

[@xFayze]

Black and blue for Violet... I can't believe I missed that one it was right there! The expression, I was not aware of that either. Thank you for taking the time to explain it. I love doing reactions because other people can fill in the holes that I missed. I did a poll and most people wanted the Hunger, so that will be my next one. But I'll definitely do these too because at this point, I want to watch his whole catalog. Yes this was a brutal watch, but it's kinda like everyone has to experience Romeo and Juliet at least once in their life. I'm glad I watched it, the creativity and artistic approach he took was so perfect for this type of story

[@cas9065]

@@xFayze The Hunger works equally well!

[@noorieiversen]

@@xFayze please add Genesis to the list. 🙏

[@garychap8384]

@@xFayze Got to agree with all of the above suggestions... For rap : "The Hunger" (personal statement), "What you want" (happy fun retro), "Losing it" (absolutely epic work, his BEST creative flows on display) and "Genesis" (personal) If you fancy something non-rap, and you've already seen his "Chalk Outlines"... then I'd say "How to be me" is a great personal piece. Some important background on "How to be me", which fits more into his "Chalk Outlines" mental health (singing) vibe. It's filmed live, one-take, on a bridge _(not a rooftop as some folks suggest)_ ... and this is important! Rens best friend was suffering. One day he left the house in the middle of the night and killed himself on that bridge. The song and its timing and location, together, form a sweet and deeply personal tribute. It helps to know this background before viewing. To add my own (semi-rapping Ren) suggestion, I'd go with an angry 2-part social commentary piece that follows nicely from "Sick Boi" and which was referenced by 'Rens demon' in that 'She sells sea shells' taunt from "Hi Ren" : "Money Game (live one-shot video)", and then; "Money Game part II" (also a one shot video)

[@noorieiversen]

He teaches empathy, and he opens up a discussion about social justice and generational trauma.

[@suzannebaan1337]

Ren always touches my soul, and still I am amazed when it happens again

[@FaintlyTapping]

Stories such as these have long been suppressed and often kept in the deepest corners of family closets. They need to be exposed, like scabs ripped open, and then talked about so that future Jennys, Screeches, and Violets may be spared similar fates.

[@josiahklein70]

They are left festering where light cannot show just how pervasive the infection is. Entirely agree.

I always applaud the reactor that GETS it right away!!! congrats to you! clapping to you.

Hearing this trilogy, watching many reactions, and watching your reaction - I have many thoughts, but watching yours - thank you for your empathy. Thank you!

[@123mountaingirl]

This was a really good reaction, thank you. Jenny was frozen much like her mother, Screech was violent like his father. This is a deep, dark and ugly tale, yet beautiful in the masterful storytelling. It leaves you to reflect on what was told, what was inferred, and what you need to conclude on your own.

[@xFayze]

Jenny was frozen like her mother, well said

[@Mr.Ekshin]

​@@xFayze - Violet's mother and father - silent and violent. Violet and Stevie - silent and violent. Jenny and Screech - silent and violent. The cycle continues..... rinse, lather, repeat.

[@KellyB918]

I didn’t put that together that Jenny was silent like her mom and screech was violent like his dad. Great observation!

[@texashookem22]

You can hide from this stuff and stay in a safe and sunny place, but the importance of facing these realities and bringing awareness to breaking the cycles is the entire point of these stories. We NEED to face these things…ESPECIALLY those who have not actually experienced them. Without the exposure, we can’t relate in the slightest, and we continue to leave those who have lived it alone to perpetuate the cycle further. This is why Ren is so important.

[@ProsperoFinch]

I know I’m late to this reaction (well done by the way), but one of the things I love about Violet’s Tale (as much as one can love such a dark tale) is how it reframes Jenny’s Tale. While Screech is clearly described as being 14, Jenny’s age is not mentioned, though by the end of Violet’s Tale we know she is 14 as well. So when Jenny is first presented, she is described as walking by herself at night in high heeled shoes, which is normal for a grown woman, who we might assume Jenny to be, given what we know of her at the start. But with the reveal that she is 14, and like Screech probably raised in foster care or the street itself because her mom is dead and father likely in jail for causing the death, we are left to wonder: Why is a 14 year old walking the streets at night in high heeled shoes, hoping to escape from her life? I have my own answer, but I’ll let others come to their own conclusion

[@xFayze]

I can't believe I didn't think of that, thank you for pointing this out. Genius in terms of the story structure.

[@johneicher7914]

Great catch and observation. Did not even think of that.

[@butterflymama0838]

@Erik Biehs I feel that she may be a hooker. Why else would some girl be walking those streets so much?? Just my thought on that though 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@petersilie8549]

Jep, sad but true. Some additional thoughts on your comment: on top of the heels and walking the "floor about a thousands times before", Screech wanted to "slice the rosies of her cheeck" (using lot's of make-up) in a dodgy area where you can hear "the sound of crime on London's streets"...

[@vivienneclarke2421]

As a survivor of domestic violence I really appreciate your heartfelt reaction to this. Thank you❤️

[@StantonMoira]

Imagine living that reality. I have no problem watching it over and over, but I’m very familiar with all he speaks of (sadly). I do have to remind myself it’s a story when I get so happy at people’s reactions. It feels a bit disrespectful. But I love that he gives a voice to the abused and lost. Love your honest reactions.

This was amazing. He is probably a once in a generation talent. Most amazing pc of music and art I've ever seen.

[@stefanogalimberti]

At the start of the reaction, you had to look at title to remember that her name was Jenny. After the first song ended: "It's three minutes and I'm so invested. And I don't know anything about her, just that her name is Jenny". In three minutes, you become deeply emotionally connected to a character you didn't know anything about. That's one of Ren's magic to me

[@butterflymama0838]

This trilogy is a masterpiece and deserves so many views. He is such an excellent storyteller. I pictured the whole scenario in my head throughout the whole thing. I love watching reaction channels. I learn and discover new artists that I otherwise would've never known. Nice reaction, Sir!

[@lindawahlers7510]

Best reaction I have ever seen so far!!!

[@jamescurrie7678]

You touched on it in your reaction about the patterns of abuse and how people that are abused in childhood tend to find abusive relationships in their adult lives. Ren highlights this so well in both Violets relationship with her father and then with Stevie but also takes it further by this passing through genetics to her children. Violets instinct when dealing with these situations was to be silent and Jenny was silent and still like her mother, Screech like his father Stevie once inebriated especially became abusive and violent. The intricacies of the story are so detailed it’s unreal and the nuances you discover with every listen seems endless and considering this is 3 tales that last 13 minutes it’s just incredible. Also it is a story that you just do not forget and that is a testament to the pure artistry that is the tale of Jenny and Screech.

[@woodywoodman2319]

I'll say it again... he's On His OWN LEVEL!!! No One Compares to him!!!

[@scottwatson9453]

Ren is such a Bard-Arse, raconteur. I'm so happy he meandered out of the middle ages into our time to tell us tales of truth in such a brilliant and eloquent way. I've seen a couple of reactors work the ending out when he mentions twins and also lots who can't piece it together at all. So you did well to get it as soon as he mentioned their names!

[@xFayze]

It got me sooooo off guard. I knew it had to tie in somehow, but for Ren to save the twist until the end... so well done

Great reaction to a modern day bard.

[@inspiredfunkmark]

Same reaction as I had. Great to watch you react to the trilogy! New subscriber..

[@aranstuparyk1559]

Was a really good reaction and I hope you are doing ok. You tapped into my fascination with this trilogy/Ren when you stopped for the ABAB rhyme explanation while still right in the middle of being upset by the content. And then you went right back to being invested in the story. I do the same thing with the guitar lick when Patrick won't answer the door. Ren presents an almost hopeless tragedy using minimal external tools with but achieves maximum creativity, efficiency and artistry. And he is such a great rapper/writer/musician/singer/performer that he can make us react emotionally to the story and fascinate us with the incredible delivery in the same run/bar(re)/chord/lick/rhyme/phone call. I think Sam is doing the same thing with lighting/angles/distance/focus/motion but I know even less about that kind of manipulation of my emotions other than these 2 were made to work together on this masterpiece.

[@xFayze]

This is a great explanation, thank you for taking time out your day to write this out

[@dazedb]

How much data did this guy pack into such a tight time frame? It's so crazy. Without saying it, you know that Jenny and screech grew up as orphans because they had no parents.

[@atornblad]

Thanks for this great reaction! One thing that most reactors miss is the fact that Jenny was only 14, too. What was a 14-year-old doing in high heels on the streets? Streets that she had walked a thousand times before? There are so many levels of darkness to this story. It takes generations to break out of a bad place.

[@xFayze]

For sure a great point I hadnt considered on my first listen. A few have mentioned it in the comments now and I see where Ren was going with it now

[@PeteAxeShields]

xFayze I absolutely love you brother. 🙏 Yours is the first reaction video who REALLY gets the whole scenario here. The fact that Violet's father was sexually and physically abusing her ( probably why her mother was a drinker )... and that the abused usually attract another abuser ( in this case Stevie ) / the fact that her name ( Violet ) is so closely connected to the word VIOLENT ( Ren does nothing by chance ) I have been a singer songwriter ( lyricist ) since I was a rebellious teenager - I adore poetry and also the art of RAP ( the use of syllables as a percussive instrument and the precision of the placement of rhyme / half rhyme is a precious art form ) You never missed any of it. I bet, after listening again, bereft of " reaction " you see it all so much clearer ( and yet, you got it on first listen ) Your reaction to the " PUNCH LINE " was precious brother. To me, the " GENIUS " of Ren is he totally understands ; to get the maximum impact of this story, it has to be played out in reverse. I have never, personally, witnessed anyone who is so naturally creative at the very highest level as Ren. I totally get that it upset you ( it upset me too ) but the beauty of the whole trilogy was that ; the cycle of abuse had to be broken, even at the severest cost ( God only knows how far this went back in this dysfunctional family ) and it eventually came to its tragic end when Jenny and Screech were both killed merely a street apart / just as their tiny new born bodies had lain merely a hospital bed apart 14 years previous. Thanks xFayze - I have subscribed brother x

[@xFayze]

Thank you for chiming in as a lyricist. I've never written or performed songs myself but I still try to put myself in the mind of the writer when I listen to things. To me, knowing that the artist is a smart person makes me enjoy the work better, or give it more respect maybe. And Ren shows that he has that much depth in how he creates, which is the main reason I have gone on a little Ren binge since first hearing him. I had only done that for a few other artists in the past, Harry Mack for example. It's always refreshing when these type of people surface

[@analisasmith7927]

screech was a victim too - he really didn't have much of a chance.

[@xFayze]

I feel you in one sense, he's a victim of circumstance. Committing an irreversible crime where there's a permanently broken victim is the line for me though. I strongly believe that however messed up of a life you may have, every human being knows the severity of taking another's life. Maybe there are exceptions, psychopaths, people who are mentally unstable or psychotic who can lose control and make a mistake. Now im conflicted. But he also pulled a knife on the cop. I love how that also references a popular line "bringing a knife to a gunfight".

[@analisasmith7927]

I think this is a story about how violence is passed on down through generations - violets father, her own partner and then her children - it’s a cycle of violence that needs to be talked about and not hidden if it is ever to be ended. Screech didn’t mean to kill Jenny remember - kids are not adults.

[@analisasmith7927]

But I agree with Cas - go and watch What You Want for some relief! :)

[@ChrisLawton66]

Anyone can be a victim. Right up until they become a perpetrator.

[@juxtapoxymoron]

[@xFayze]

Thank you for the comment Sandra

[@tma4528]

I agree. This is a tale, a book, it allows our imaginations to "visualize" everything with assistance from a bard. Ren is Shakespearean but if William actually acted himself. Ren is truly genius and one of a kind.

[@canangel75]

It's a play......on many levels 🤣🤣🤣☺️

[@anticafo]

Thanks for an awesome reaction, it was tough to live through it again with you, he is a brilliant storyteller and it does cut deep, which I think is the point. I honestly didn't think I'll listen to it again, but it's just so well done, I broke my rule. If you want to see another side of Ren, please do check out his rap - Hunger (shows off his bars and flow for sure) Genesis, Bittersweet Symphony (Verve retake) What you Want, Power is just fun to watch his energy, absolutely love it! And of course, many, many more tracks, not videos, but absolutely brilliant - Ocean, Hold On, Do you Believe.... You won't be disappointed and will see something totally fresh!

I loved loved loved your reaction ♥ I have literally Watched 20 or more. You probably had the most honest empathic response to this trilogy. You got it completely. The shock 😳 the fear and tragedy. Truth is this story is so so realistic and sometimes human experience is tragic and repetitive. I DEFINITELY SUBSCRIBED !!!!

[@xFayze]

First of all thank you for subscribing Karri! And this is what makes music so good, being able to transmit a complicated thought, view on the world, emotion all through a short amount of words in a song. The visual, the instrumental, the way his voice sounds and changed throughout the story... it's like each of these little things give you one piece of the puzzle. And then consciously or maybe subconsciously, we piece it all together and just get it. He made it so easy to understand such a dark, but real, repetitive problem in society.

[@KarriSimone]

@@xFayze Thanks 😊 music makes my world go around

[@davideastham]

I appreciate your reaction. It is tough to listen to for sure. Ren said he has more stories to share later this year. Not related to Jenny, Screech or Violet. He also said his dream is to have a series on Netflix. He has so many ideas. I personally would just love to sit around a campfire with Ren and let him tell ghost stories 😁. If you want something more 'upbeat' I would suggest Ren's 'What you want'. It has a great Beastie Boys vibe. There is also Losing it ( FISHER rap retake ).

[@wastefulungratfuls]

Jenny is more like a stalagmite... They form from the ground up usually underneath a stalagtite... Stalagtites form on cave ceilings hanging downwards...

History Repeats itself......the Cycle Continued. Great reaction. Thankfully, this is the only one of it's kind that Ren does. I would suggest you look up "The Big Push" (a band Ren was in) and check out "Bongo Bong". Completely different vibe and easily becomes an earworm. No, it's not rapping per se', but it's catchy and they do a GREAT job with it.

This song haunted me after the first time I watched it. In my sleep I was hearing "Violet, why you always so quiet". Washing dishes, taking a shower, it kept creeping into my brain. I was finally able to turn down my emotions and listen to it again, but I definitely get it if you can't. It is very disturbing.

[@cherylrobbins715]

Your responses were so empathetic. I’ll be subscribing.

[@kurtz260]

I can definetly envision him having a musical theater opportunity. Could you imagine going to a small venue and him performing this followed up by his sick boi and hi ren? Just those 5 songs without hardly any monologue would be a half hour and everyone would leave a sobbing mess.

[@xFayze]

Loool for real man. And since he's already experienced in one take performances, it would be a pretty smooth transition. Hopefully he gets his health back up first of course

[@kurtz260]

If a person went to a performance and were an abuser do you think it would change them or just waltz away without a care?

[@xFayze]

@@kurtz260 That's a tough one. I think they would have a self realization moment at the very least. Whether they change or not, I feel that depends on the person and maybe even how far past the line they have already crossed in the past. For example, I think there's a higher chance for Ren to effect someone who hasn't crossed the line yet, or maybe has only done it once. At that point, it's easier to look at yourself and have that moment to change your thoughts or persepectivd, to realize the damage and severity of your mistakes. Someone who has abused many times or for a long time probably becomes harder to change.

[@jeffreyallen-uw9uh]

[@startingfingerstyle]

Brilliant reaction video. You clearly felt this very deeply, and the ending hit you exactly as it did me. I understand completely why you might say that you'll never watch it again, but frankly I think it's a shame if you never revisit it. I'm not advocating the glorification of violence/abuse/the repeating cycles they seem to cause, which I don't think this performance does, but on a second, third, fourth watching (some on here will be into the dozens and dozens) there will still be fresh nuances in the performance to notice. Yes, there's a danger that over time we as a society desensitise and become almost numb to things which would have terrified us in years gone by, and I wouldn't want the story here to ever become something that people just watch and think, 'yeah, cool...... what's next?' It was supposed to horrify us, and it did. So, whilst you might not try this version again, would you consider a different version? Ren did a special live performance of this trilogy in front of his home crowd in Brighton. The performance is every bit as good as in these films, but the feel, somehow, is a little less intense. There's a couple of moments of levity, with nervous giggles from audience and performer. Somehow it feels a little less threatening, and it also contains a couple of extra items that were not in the original films. Maybe, in a few months or so, you might like to visit that one? Here it is, just in case! kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZDLpGt7oLyYkMk

[@xFayze]

I totally agree with your take. I was just taken aback and reminded of something a friend went through. But to be fair, I did watch it twice (I rewatched it while I was editing this video a few days later). It's one of those that I'll revisit at a later time maybe, but way later time. Lol. I loved it and understand the importance of what Ren did here though, that's for sure

I think Ren meant to say Jenny was a lady-shaped stalagmite, because they form on the floor where as a stalagtite forms on the roof. Such imagery with his choice of words. He really knows when to emphasise, and what words to use to paint the mental image. Really been loving his art since finding it. "Chalk outlines" with an artist named Chinchilla is also amazing and shows off his singing. Heard it about 100 times and every time it hits.

Stalactites can go to the floor, he wanted the image of her in her high heel shoes.,., On her tip toes, not breathing, a statuesque statue. A stalagmite it fat at the base that would be too blobby for high heel shoes. Also it would be slouchy, less tension in the imagery.

Not sure why Noone is reacting to the hunger or power, or any of his rap rap but you should check them out if you want your mind blown! 🤯 great reaction!!

[@xFayze]

I did a poll and The Hunger is the next one on my list 🙂

Fisher retake "losing it" pretty killer as far as word play and flow styles just more of a fun song

I watched reaction to this videos so many times, still get chills tho.

Amazing reaction!!! Thanks for that!!!!

Thank you Monia

[@moniavedder1933]

you should take a look at "how to be me" live, It's made for one of his friends who committed suicide . I love you are enjoying the RENaddiction 😂😂😂

[@roamthewayhome]

New sub because of this reaction video. I appreciate your sincerity & authenticity. I swear... I was starting to wish you wouldn't finish because of how upset the beginning made you. Understandably. I thought... if you dislike this part, you're really going to hate the ending. But.. as you said... Ren is like a bard. He is an epic storyteller, and that is why I still get chills, even after having seen this trilogy dozens of times. He is amazing. And that is an understatement. I'm looking forward to more of your reactions! Well done!

[@xFayze]

Yea, Ren caught me off guard for sure on this one. I had also had a long day that day and wasn't mentally prepared to get such a real feeling story. Before listening to it, I really thought that this would just be a lighter watch. He did a great job in the way he structured the story

11:58 The silhouette from a shooting range is a nice touch

[@katarinakorcek4577]

Really loved your reaction to this mate. The way u got the plot twist at the end, and how it shook u up!! Same here. But in the end, Ren did his job in depicting this story w his amazing talent, even if it was so brutal. This young man Ren is mind blowing. Have been going down his rabbit hole for about a month and literally he can make any genre his own🙏 Such a breath of fresh air, being an artist myself. Thanx again for your comments, you seem like a very gentle and kind soul. Much love from Slovakia💙...will def be checkin' out your future reactions. Peace☮

@@xFayze oh thanx you are so sweet🙏 If u are into deep stuff, I created something during lockdown kinda combining my own medical and mental health, the scarey pandemic and the overall state of the world( means a lot to me). That's why i was so mind blown when i heard Hi Ren for the first time. I could relate on many levels. Not to mention that it's a masterpiece!!! If u feel like listening to my song on your own time i will leave a link. It's called "Here"...just a lyric video cause i thought it would be more powerful🙏.

If we don’t have compassion, we likely don’t have enough context. Great reaction! 🫶

[@xFayze]

Thanks Luna for checking out the video 💙

[@terencemcalinden5956]

Great reaction.. had same thoughts myself as a very difficult watch. Recommend Chalk Outlines, or for something a bit more fun, Losing It.

[@wastefulungratfuls]

To be fair... The trilogy isn't my favourite Ren creations but they do show off his creativity..

[@dannyworten5876]

This is why I love watching reaction! Sorry it was so hard on you but the shocked look was epic

[@TonyMiller423]

I was never really sure why I didn't like this song as much as his others, even though it is technically very good. Thank you for putting into words, feelings that I couldn't even quite sort out for myself.

[@70HiGgStEr35]

bro just subscribed to your channel with your reaction to this video 😘👌 amazing reaction i couldn't wait till you got to the end 😊 in the violet's tale he literally plays the bards tale on guitar,much ❤❤ bro ✌✌✌✌✌️

[@xFayze]

Thank you brother

[@leanneh5293]

Ren is a genius. I love your reactions to his masterpieces. Check out his Foo Fighters cover, it's only short but it's awesome!!

[@annfarmer9704]

It is also important. Especially for youths and for current victims. Again Ren is providing a window for others to be able to see in..... It's powerful. You FEEL it. That trilogy can provide a preventative measure , click in someone's head , an I've seen this behavior before, and not turn down that path. For someone in that situation, if they have been avoiding the reality of that possible outcome, it may jolt them to wake up and seek help to get away. Ren provides this window, this glimpse, for you to witness in a safe place. For parents to talk about it with their kids so they have another tool to be safe and make a more informed decision..... Because if you don't know that you don't know, a daughter could become the next violets mother to start 5he abuse from once upon a time.....a NEW chapter for the history books. Not everyone will be wanting to watch this over and over, I love his masterful storytelling, BUT I feel it is a tool that parents, teachers should keep in the back of their minds for when the time is right. I think teens would respond better to this than the films they showed us in school. Edge of your seat, tense, edgy. Who knows they may have a friend already going through it and ask for help. London city far from pretty.... You notice how he SPITS those words out at the end.... In time you will see the brilliance of this trilogy. Now you know what it was like to be alive in Shakespeare's time...... All the best to you & yours Ann

[@xFayze]

Thank you for the comment Ann I agree 100%

[@Lou-xq9br]

Great reaction. Ren is built different! 🔥

[@Shannon.Darling]

Oh and violet, screech and Jenny are all names from saved by the bell 😁

[@darleendionne6403]

I agree, a difficult tale to hear. But for some of us, we can turn it off and choose not to think about it too much. For others they can't turn it off...they live it. Ren has other music - in rap Genesis and focusing on his voice, Chalk Outlines. You should also check out some of his busking with his band The Big Push - the I Shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop medley.

[@xFayze]

Very well said, we are very fortunate indeed

[@OlleStahlberg]

Hi Ren, Sick Bou and this trilogy are special. Several good rap songs as well! Will suit your channel. 😎👍🏼

Stalagtite!! Stalagtites must hold on tight to stop themselves from falling. Stalagmites must use their might to reach up for the ceiling!

Lovely reaction. And if I had glasses, I would have thrown them down just like you did when he reveals that Jenny and Screech were twins.

[@belindamelville2270]

Ren 💜👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@cobblepott4169]

There's a point to the story and it unfolds the way it does for a reason. When you only hear Jenny's Tale, how do you feel at the end? "It's such a shame." When you only hear Jenny's Tale + Screech's Tale, how do you feel at the end? "It's such a shame." When you add Violet's Tale, everything changes. Why? Why does the fact that they're unknowingly siblings change how you feel? Answering that for yourself is really important. It's easy to become numb to all the Jenny's Tales and Screech's Tales happening around us. History repeats itself if no one takes intentional steps to break dysfunctional patterns. Training ourselves to see the generational trauma in context changes how we process these stories. Maybe that awareness can motivate us to take action and disrupt the repeating cycles.

[@xFayze]

Great interpretation of the overall message, thank you

[@susanperine1068]

Well done. You are kind, but as difficult as it was, you got the intended message.😊

[@NativeNewMexican]

I'll give your other videos a shot because this reaction was fire.

[@Xian42]

I've done little on KZbin other than listen to Ren reactions the last 2 months. Kudos to you for one of the best to Jenny and Screech. I was literally tearing up at the end when you learned the horrible truth that connected the tales together. I too, initially said this was too dark and I wouldn't listen to it again, but I've found myself listening over and over again. Curious, as it's been a couple weeks, if you've actually listened again or not?

[@xFayze]

Well I listened to it again when I was editing the video, as well as when I had to re open the project to get a clip. On youtube though, no, I haven't gone back yet. I think I might check other reactions of it soon though because it has me wondering if others felt the same
