Sanders Sides animatic- Pitiful Children

Creators note before the actual description
Thank you all so much for 5k subs, I never thought I would get even close to as many as I have. You've all been so supportive and kind and I love hearing you guys scream in the comments, haha. I'd like to do a Q&A in the future to hear from you guys so be on the lookout for that. Ok, back to my usual griping
I swear I was starting to think I would die before I got this thing finished. I really hope it didn't disappoint and that you enjoyed it. Don't be surprised if I don't make another video for a few millennia, this monstrosity took a lot out of me. this song is like 4 minutes long you guys... I have been at this for months and I am T I RED
summary in case anyone was having a hard time following
Deceit is trying to convince Thomas to let him be in charge of the sides to “help” him.. of course Thomas isn’t gonna go for it so Dee has to start by showing him false images of his friends to get his guard down. Once Thomas is distracted he can start picking off the sides one by one. He starts with Roman, since he’s got a lot of influence on Thomas (and is probs most likely to just stab Dee as soon as stuff starts going down). He takes Patton next since he’s got the most influence over the sides. He starts to go for Logan, but now Virgil sees it coming and steps up to try and protect Logan (cause with the two of them they should be able to reverse everything) but the snake instead tricks them into separating. Now that all the others are taken over Dee goes for Virgil, cause he’s easier to handle alone. He ends up just chasing Virgil off though, which is fine with him; As long as he’s got the others, he’s got Thomas as far as he’s concerned. But as we see, Virgil is not taken like the others and escapes, so he can make his move when the time comes. But for now it seems that Thomas is on board with Deceits plan, because the other sides seem to think it’s ok! And he can trust them, right?
Let me know what you thought, it was a LOT but I did have fun making it for you guys.
Thanks for reading and watching and sticking around.
until next time, friends

[@katieshupe6298]

Okay but when Virgil looks up and sees the snake appear around Logan is legit one of the scariest things I’ve seen in a long time. I love it!

[@mousetoebeans]

Okay like fifteenth time watching this but: The sizes of the snakes. The biggest one by far was for Logan because it’s hard to cloud logic with lies. Patton’s was kinda small cause morals can easily be clouded. Roman’s kinda in the middle. And then there’s all the different ones going after Anxiety and all failing. Lies more fuel anxiety, not cloud or defeat it, so he can overpower them and escape. *i need to stop-*

[@ezelfrancisco1349]

Crap, i didn't notice that symbolism.

[@bookworm3696]

the order they fall is important too.

[@Ghostinaboat]

.....okay Logan I'll go home

[@Callistosdotcom]

Personal theory, i think deceit knew this, and sent the snakes to keep Virgil from being able to make thomas worried about how the sanders sides are acting. He made virgil preoccupied

[@angelhunter7556]

Lieing makes my anxiety go away.

[@thespiderinyourcloset9462]

Ok so someone already commented on the size of the snakes, but what about the *order?* Roman fell first. For lies, you have to have the ideas. Patton fell next. If you’re thinking of lying, you have to cloud your morals. Logan fell last. To successfully lie, you need to logically use the lie to make it believable. Virgil never fell because Deceit had to chase away any anxiety that would make Thomas have second thoughts about lying.

[@sonicrainicorn]

OKAY BUT THE FACT THAT THE LINES FOR ROMAN AND PATTON GETTING TAKEN OVER FIT SO WELL ACTUALLY KILLS ME. LIKe??? "Can you see the vision clearly" for Roman "Shiny, happy people" and even "If you feel a sob or tear" for Patton. ??? I'm just.

[@tenebrae3754]

Okay, but, let me just add to the angst, okay? This is going to be mostly Virgil centered, because I can. 0:54 V is the only one who doesn't /look/ scared, but that doesn't mean he isn't absolutely terrified, you can see him shaking. And I just love how protective Roman is right now. 1:10 Patton and Logan don't quiet understand what's happening yet, but Virgil does and he looks so scared. I mean, one of the strongest persons he knows just got corrupted. Also, STRINGS?! I've never noticed them before! 2:03 This looks like Logan is just ready to bolt, but he doesn't, because he knows he can't leave Virgil alone. Also the lyrics fits quiet well in this part once again, because logic doesn't know what to do. 2:07- 2:41 This has got to be my absolute favourite part of this whole video. (Perhaps because I'm biased and Logan is my favourite character, with analogical being my favourite ship- ANYWAYS!) Yes to the reflection of the snake in Logan's glasses. Yes to his absolutely terrified look. Yes to Virgil jumping between them and protecting him. (With this being another case of Virgil being the silent protector of the group, because Logan looks genuinely surprised to see Virgil protecting him). YES TO THIS PART ( 2:30- 2:34) because you can practically hear them calling each other's names and it's just ADDJHIDBDKSVXA! 2:40 And from here on out, Virgil is just terrified, all alone now and his friends, the people he swore to protect, he had failed them. And then the individual reactions to the others trying to hold Virgil back. With Roman, he has to shove him away the hardest, because Virgil knows that Roman could hold onto him, that he would be strong enough for that. With Patton, he rushes past, but Virgil looks back with a look that's a mix between worry and guilt. And then with Logan, oh my god, Virgil first looks startled (probably because he hadn't seen the other one standing there) but when he pushes him away, he can't even look at him, Virgil just closes his eyes, it hurts too much. Also, Roman offers an apology, Patton offers a hug and Logan offers a hand. Maybe a promise of safety? And that's another reason why Virgil is so affected by the last one, because he knows this safety, one that may once have been there, is gone now. And, I think 3:43 speaks for itself. All of them terrified, but in a unique way with holding something else as well. Roman, rage. Patton, sadness Logan, I'd say worry or guilt, but I'm not completely sure...

[@phoebesingh6889]

ok I've literally watched this 50 time now and I've noticed something?? Like, when the snakes are going after one of the sides, the snakes eyes change colour depending on the person they're trying to bite?? Like, in 0:58 the snakes eyes are red, and it ends up biting Roman, who normally associates with the colour red. Same thing with Patton, the snake's eyes are light blue in 1:39 and it ends up biting Patton?? Same thing with Vigril and Logan. Idk, I think it's a really cool detail (also sorry if someone's mentioned this before)

Hahahaha... yes

[@celiphone]

I had a thought let's say that what the Snakes are doing in the animatic is the same thing the squip does in BMC. (The song from this animatic comes from The Musical Be More Chill) What the Squip does is cancel out all you insecurities and fears. So if the others where bit by this snake wouldn't Virgil disappear? Here me out! Virgil is literally the embodiment of anxiety. If the Snakes where like Squips then they would cancel out Anxiety. The other this wouldn't imply too. Logan, Patton, and Roman when they get bitten by the snake nothing would really happen to them except they wouldn't show their sad sides (we've seen in many sander sides videos that each side has their own insecurities Pattons beginning when he was heart broken, Roman being the less favored side, and Logan not being the smartest one) those would all disappear. But Virgil he is Anxiety. Yes Virgil has been warming up to the others, but he will always be Anxiety he will always be the insecurity the Squips will attacks and cancel out. Deciet snakes wouldn't even need to bite Virgil because they did Virgil would become the opposite of what he is so wouldn't he disappear? If the Snakes reacted the same way the Squip reacted with Jeremy (canceling out his fears) he would be more chill. So implying these facts to Thomas then Virgil would be canceled out. Maybe Virgil wouldn't disappear but we would be in kind of a trance. Blocked out, faded, dull, dim, etc.

[@callmebecauseIvehitagreatdepre]

Ari Is An Artist I don’t think the snakes are meant to be the squip. Instead of canceling out fear they cancel out the side. Once Patton is bit by the snake he is no longer Patton, he is one of Deceits minions.

[@honeybee-th1bh]

I have been rewatching this for the past week SO MANY TIMES!! The way you make the characters move is IN.SANE. Like, the whole storyline and the way they act are SO. FREAKING. REALISTIC. AND. AMAZING. IT LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING FROM A MOVIE!!! Please excuse me while I fangirl...

[@jovivh6584]

I love how the snakes have different eye colours depending on whom they’re going to bite

[@strawberribee9551]

I'm not crying- Your crying! Honestly, this was beautiful! I loved how well you made it, I loved how Virgil just sprung to action. Most animatic make him seem meek and even broken. You honestly had the best interpretation of him! Logan looked amazing, he looked like a legit teacher. He makes me wonder how much homework he gives. Roman? Where do I start! He looked amazing, I loved how you drew him! He almost got mistaken for Prince charming- I'm serious I was wondering why a disney character was here. Patton just broke my heart. He literally just, broke my heart at the end! I love his design and he looks amazing! Deceit worries me, I think he needs a doctor- I love his design though, it's well thought out and you make everything work. This is already one of my favorite Sander Sides video. Just, well done! I couldn't have done better than you, seriously, I can't even draw males- Sorry if this was so long. I don't usually comment-

[@quinn455]

When the snake went to pattan oh my god that was so good and when virgl fought the snake that was amazing 👏👏👏👏👏👏 Edit: I love that the snakes are background singer's

[@ZuMii_Idled]

Virgl, Pattan? Who are these characters?

[@ZuMii_Idled]

@dwalshmcinnis wait what do you mean that wasnt rude- Tbh I wws tryna make it seem funny, :D

[@ZuMii_Idled]

@dwalshmcinnis excuse me? Correcting isnt being rude, its telling that person "you did something wrong maybe you should fix that" and its also constructibe criticism. Correcting isnt rude, infact it helps!

[@kyaaaaaaaaaaa]

@@ZuMii_Idled *constructive

[@fluteloops14]

First off, that was by far the best Sander Side animation I've seen! Second, Thomas NEEDS to see this. Also quick note, if only Virgil and Deceit have powers, and Deceit is a dark side, does this mean Virgil was a dark side before the Accepting Anxiety episodes? I could be wrong... But anyway, amazing work!

[@doesalittledance]

Thomas has seen this

[@tasty2649]

He did!!

[@deeznuts-zm9ze]

Cortnie Hulse this is by far my favorite Sanders Sides animatic in existence like ohmygod

[@ktportalproductions7815]

He saw it

[@SevYT]

He was

[@niche8dsongs]

I would just like to say that this animatic was the first that I saw for the Sanders Sides fandom, and it is what inspired me to try and become better at drawing. You art is amazing, and the story with the song and how you portray it is just amazing. I just kinda wanted to thank you for bringing us this amazing video.

[@meowntown69]

when i first joined the ts art crew, i told you that you were one of my favorite artists in the ts fandom. i lied. you're one of my favourite artists, period. -sinbean (sandalssides)

[@rocanny]

Me: oh no! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA also me: *EVERYTHING ABOUT US IS GOING TO BE WONDERFUL!*

[@tea1410]

OH MY GOD holy SHIT i was squealing the whole time this is actually one of the most amazing animatics i've seen, like the premise is SO AMAZING i ADORE how you portrayed the use of (what i assume is some sort of) magic by Deceit and Virgil with the glow-y snakes and the fireball-esque stuff, and the ART is just flat out amazing and tHE COLOURS JUMP OUT I LOVE HOW THE COLOURS JUMP OUT like its such a simple thing but ASDFGHJKL i'm telling you i SCREAMED watching this it was so good (also i may or may not adore brainwashing tropes so uh)

[@twigbranch4556]

Maybe it’s just the sort of character arcs and so it makes cool in universe sense for virgil to be the only one left, but I also love the metaphorical sense of that nagging bit of anxiety in the back of your brain when you do something wrong.

[@brug7911]

Video: LETS SAVE THE PITIFUL CHILDREN Me at 3 in the morning: WoOoaAahHHhhHh-

[@tippitytoppity9001]

I also ADORE when people draw Logan's hair slicked back. Idk why I just LOVE it

[@fishfoods2622]

okay first of all, OW. GEEZ. anyways this his was was SO GOD IM IN LOVE

[@emmawiley2452]

3:08 Deceit just looks so friendly and charismatic..... Gosh, I'd listen to him. Guess that's why he's Deceit.

[@krystallife4106]

*THIS MADE ME CRY* _OH MY GOODNESS I WASN'T PREPARED_ THIS WAS REALLY GOOD THOUGH-

[@ambrisable]

I love how when Patton sees the snakes, he reacts to them how would react to a spider!!! Amazing work by the way!!!!!

[@celosiacancreate902]

Virgil's power is just like BWAAAAAA AND IT MADE ME GO FWIOOOAH

[@ashyoung3326]

BUT SOMEHOW THIS COMMENT IS ENTIRELY ACCURATE??

[@celosiacancreate902]

Ashby Young thanks!

[@octopleb9370]

My mind during this was a mix me screaming, "NO" "DON'T" and "STOP", meaning you did a good job.

[@angstyprince7692]

Once Roman got bitten I choKED- THIS IS FRICKEN AMAZING

[@catherinemontgomery4322]

This is fantastic. I was sincerely hoping Virgil was going to escape, since he's the only one that stands a chance against deceit (in my opinion). Can't wait to see more, you definitely just earned yourself a die hard, loyal follower.

[@dontask1586]

liked this before i watched it bc i already know it’s gonna be greattt

[@kjgrantz]

me before the ending: over there smiles there dying on the inside me after the ending aka 3:46 : i knew it, i knew it

[@mushroomjuice]

I FLIPPIN LOVE THIS SONG!! BMC + SANDERS SIDES = YES. Edit: it’s not weird that I screamed “NO” when Patton got ‘possessed’, is it?

[@tasty2649]

Same

[@GryphynTalon13]

Everything about this is pretty wonderful. With the great facial expressions and the gold and purple clashing is just great! The only bad thing is theres dislikes and i dont think thomas has seen this yet. I might be being biased but i cant help it its just to good!

[@nyn647]

Holy freaking shmokes, this is so amazing!!! I love the snakes and how they slowly take control over all the sides. Roman, the first line of defence, is taken down first and he quickly joins Deceit (loved the puppet strings btw), leaving his family open and relatively unprotected. Then Patton is taken to get Thomas on board with Deceit's actions, bc the right brain sides are the loudest and most enthusiastic, so they can easily hype Thomas up and make him get along with what they want. By now Lo and Virge realise something bad is going on, and Virgil steps in to protect his friend! I was thrilled for a sec bc, heck yeah! He can fight back!! :D AND FREAKING THEN ONE OF THE SNEKS SNEAKED UP ON LOGAN!! Omg, that moment is my favourite! Virgil's panic is so real and the way Logan collapsed stopped my heart, only for it to beat at three times the normal speed when he came back up with yellow eyes and that twisted smile!! The moment where they all close in on Virgil as he flees was really cool too! My heart was legit racing! And Virgil's dark flame powers looked really nice overall!!

[@eurydice367]

Okay. So this is what got me into be more chill. I now realize. Virgil. Is Michael. And Thomas is Jeremy. And, also, here's my theory. *MatPat has entered the chat* My theory is that Patton will be easiest to break out of this whole "trance". This is because he's morality, and Deceit is literally his opposite. That Means anything Deceit does, Patton is combating with equal force. The others might not be as strong as Deceit and are only able to combat their own darkness. So, Patton would escape Deceit's grasp first, with the help of Virgil. I don't feel like this would play out like BMC, but that's my opinion. Then, with Deceit distracted with Patton, Virgil could attempt to break Logan and Roman out of their hypnosis. Thomas is sort of sweating between dark and light, with some sides telling him dark, others light. But Once Logan's out, it's basically over. Logan always states facts, and the fact is, the dark sides were trying to take control. He's Talking to Thomas, and Virgil has moved onto Roman. He's The most difficult to break, as Roman has a lot of sway over Thomas. Once he does, it's four against three (going on the whole Virgil was a dark side). Thomas is staying out of this, exhausted from so much internal conflict. Deceit and his crew put up a fight, and they would have won if Virgil wasn't there. Each side is fighting their opposite, and Virgil is helping each side by slowing breaking each dark side down. The dark sides surrender, and Patton, Virgil, Roman, Logan, and Thomas all go back to the main part of the mindscape. Thomas leaves, and the others all collapse in a freakin heap on the couch lol But hey, that's just a theory, a VIDEO THEORY. thanks for reading!

[@raalkire-eaton2704]

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSS

[@beemezz4295]

Oh my god AGAIN with the incredible animations!! And from one of my favourite musicals?? How dare I LOVE IT SO MUCH OH MY GOD

[@edwinhorton1126]

I love how in the beginning Roman is trying to shield all of the others and then the snakes come up to them and he’s like,”Oh cra-.”

[@HorrorCosmium]

i just saw this and being a Deceit in a discord server myself i have to say this is the most beautiful thing ever and honestly i feel like this concept is ... A M A Z I N G. especially the snakes, i loved it.

[@pastelchemicals1331]

I love how each snake's eye corresponds to whatever side it's going after, such an attention to detail! fantastic!!

[@geckooo9737]

OK YES HELLO THIS IS AMAZING AND I LOVE IT All your animatics are so well planned out??? Like?? What the heck?? The stories are so engaging, and not repetitive at all which makes it sO DAMN INTERESTING TO WATCH Plus your art style is just so good?? This is amazing!! Well done!!

[@Diamond_Doodles]

I forget how talented this fandom is and the KZbin is like "Hey! want to see something amazing?" And I'm reminded how cool it is.

[@mintytrifecta5504]

you had me screaming out loud and I can't bvuxctv ( What if Roman was the first to be corrupted cause he has the most insecurities?)

[@hannahmcaleer6283]

I love the detail in the beginning of how deceit gives Thomas “sight” by covering his eyes from his reality. Amazing attention to detail I love it!

[@alynphillips240]

During this entire video, i was just going, "Oh sh*t." Over and over. I have a problem with not taking fan videos as canon lol.

[@lunafox45]

Is no one gonna mention Thomas? Like he’s just there while 3 of his 4 main sides get corrupted by Deceit 😂 Poor Thomas He needs a break

[@alejandraemmanuel6306]

I literally screamed: "THOMAS DONT TELL ME YOU BELIEVE THIS....!"

[@cecefernandes5657]

SHIT GUYS HE GOT PATTAN THIS IS NOT GOOD And I love that Virgil tried to save them but he's the last one in the end. Maybe because Virgil is the only one of the sides who is always embracing that sometimes he gets sad and that's okay instead of trying to hide it so he can't be a 'pitiful' child I am looking way too deep into this huh? Great job dude XD Edit: WHY AM I JUST NOT NOTICING LIKE FOUR DAYS LATER THAT VIRGIL USES SOME PURPLE SMOKE TO HELP ESCAPE?? I AM LOVING IT

[@dazaiosamu8376]

I legit screamed NOT PATTON and woke everyone up

[@cry0n1c]

Plot twist: The Duke helps Virgil turn everything normal again

[@skykrasher4475]

Me:DECEIT YOU SLIMY BOI My brain: To my knowledge his scales are smooth

[@TheMagestucOreo]

Lol

[@madspiration9710]

I can’t believe how well this fits with the newest episode! How anxiety truly hates Deceit and Roman is the first one to fall for Deceit’s lies. Amazing I really enjoyed this!

[@geomeopeoleo1740]

This video got me hooked on Roman. Him stepping in front of everyone is just great m.

[@decaf-nosebleed]

This video is partially responsible for why I started to listen to be more chill, which led me to listen to music from other musicals. So thank you. Thank you for making me a theater geek (I already liked to act, this aided the fangirl)

[@lemoncookies1590]

Now I just imagine Virgil running in screaming "VIRGIL MAKES AN ENTRANCE!" And chucking a jug of red mountain dew at everyone.

[@otterpopgames7]

Sooo many times watching this every time I find one more amazing detail you added AHHHH

[@Mel-m6r]

I like the little details like that deciet has fangs :)

[@silentshadow3894]

This is too reminiscent of the latest of episode for my comfort.

[@witheredtoashes9148]

Thomas GET SOME FRICKIN COMMON SENSE AND REALIZE DECIET IS EV- *Oh. That's out the picture.*

[@thatonegal67]

This is so unnerving and I LOVE IT

[@thatawkwardotaku4651]

Did anyone else notice right before it flashed out where it looked like Deceit had puppeteer strings connecting to the sides? Because that gave me goosebumps.

[@Roman-nk2jb]

I have no words... It's too much to process... *screams I FUCKING LOVE IT!!!*

[@mehya3266]

Your ideas for this (Deceit covering Thomas's eyes, the snakes) are among the best in this fandom. Seriously, you can draw AND you have the most fantastic ideas?!

[@peachykeen4268]

1:08 I love how Patton and Logan hide behind Virgil,,and he's just so ready to protect them! This is so well done!! :))
