Twins in Paradise

[@terminallyfish]

I think that in the portal, the bunny when Darcy was in the portal represented Marcy and the cat when Marcy was in the portal was supposed to be a representation of Darcy. Both were the ideal versions of themselves to the other. With Darcy, she wanted Marcy to spend time with her and with their mother, on the other hand, Marcy wanted them to be a team.

[@LuisMan123]

Yeah that's a very great idea! That's what I love about this video, the small details that I maybe would've never thought about but you are right, it is like the perfect sister that both twins are imagining

[@keureg7624]

Amelia Sun especially since the eyes on the bunny are the same as marcy and vice versa

[@randomfluffkingt.9364]

Yeah, I thought the exact same thing! And also Darcy wears the cat hoodie thing, so I think that the cat really does represent Darcy.

[@I_am_in_your_castle]

@@randomfluffkingt.9364 yes! and marcy have a bunny hoodie, at 00:17 it's in the closet (sorry if my english is bad)

[@shadqw_]

I believe the entire portal is just drug use itself. Marcy has anger issues, and at first, it seems like a way out, until you get backstabbed, and you can't stop. I believe the cat actually represents the users brain, and lucky enough, Marcy was able to make it out, luckily. But on the other hand, Darcy wasn't. She did drugs, and couldn't get out. Might just be my brain, having a fasination for HiImMaryMary, but thats my take on it.

I didn’t notice this the first time through but Darcy gets prescribed stronger drugs as the story progresses. The first drug she’s given is for “emotional turmoil.” The drug she ODs on is for “chronic despair.”

[@claudiag.9307]

Good catch. Her latest prescription which Marcy steals has a label that's not fully in view except for " ...Lapram 25mg... needed... fering" I think fering is suffering

[@Bestwif]

I love how the cat and rabbit represent both sisters, the rabbit representing Marcy while the cat represents Darcy. When Darcy enters “Paradise” she is met with a rabbit, a rabbit that has the same eye shape and the same onesie color as her sister (Marcy). Also when Marcy enters “paradise”, the cat also shares the same similarities as her sister, eye shape, and how the cat is on her side on the tennis court. Marcy and the cat BOTH hold up the trophy. honestly I just love everything about this animation ❤

Love that by the end you can't tell which twin is which anymore. Also in Marcy's room she has a pink rabbit clock and a pink rabbit onesie hung up in the closet, whereas Darcy has a cat clock and the cat hoodie she wears when she OD's. When both of them are on their respective drug trips, they each have an animal representative of their sibling.

[@Unbuiltnut1257]

wow i didnt even notice the clocks or marcys onesie, although i knew the rabbit and cat in the portal were representative of each sibling, you seem to notice something new each time you watch this, which i think says alot about the talent of vewn as an artist, also darcy has one tuft of hair, almond eyes and is the shorter one, and marcy has two tufts and inverted U eyes, pretty subtle, took a good few times watching this to realize that myself.

That's interesting! I was thinking the bell ringing could represent head throbbing or something, and when it ceases could represent mental clarity which is consistent with what you said. The high pitched tone during Darcy's scene in the hospital bed was immediately familiar to me. Seems like tinnitus is associated with kidney injury.

[@jellydonuts4120]

[@idk_man3491]

1:41 ugly crying rn because you can see darcy struggle a little to open the bottle, because of the built in child proof lid. This, along with the vast size difference between them and the adults, is such a subtle yet powerful detail displaying the fact that, despite everything, marcy and darcy are only children. Two little girls, though having each other, who are all alone in the big, wide world.

[@bot7070]

I don't have any theories. I have only a thought. The last scene was immensely sad. In the face of imminent death, the two sisters quickly hugged each other with faces of regret. Right there and then, their short lives, how wrongly they spent it, how they treated each other flashed before their eyes. They both realized they can only forgive each other and be there until the end.

[@ellystern6]

It was sad, but also so beautiful. The only moment you show the sisters truly coming together and connecting. Reminds me of the way the sisters in the movie Melancholia were displayed, right at the end when the world was ending, like in this animation.

When marcy ods, it seems like shes blaming herself for everything because the demon kills her mum, hurts the cat which represents darcy and then starts to beat marcy up too. When the demon changes to be marcy in a demon suit, it implies that it was marcy all along and so marcy is the reason her mum died, marcy is the reason her sister od’d and marcy is the reason shes as beat down as she is now and is the reason she isnt mummas little girl as much as she wanted to be. her mum and her internal angel look extremely similar showing that her moral ground was based off what she thinks her mum would want but she never got validation from her mum so she ended up just scrapping it and thus blamed herself for everything because she didnt succeed as much as she thought she should.

For me, I interpret this animation as a story of greiving. After their mother's passing, Darcy gets consumed by escaping reality through drugs and getting to see her mother again, while Marcy gets consumed by tennis to ignore the pain. She breaks stuff to relieve emotion, but in turn hurts her mother by destroying their house. I like how this short film doesn't end with a clear solution on how they should grieve, only that Marcy realizes she has a problem and to set their differences aside because life is short in the end

I had wanted to end it all, for four years prior (I don't mean four years ago, but four straight years.) When I told him, he just told me in an annoyed and curt tone to "well, you survived, and you have to get over that now". A horrific shock came over me. I was in Hell for years over it. I finally reached out to him in e-mail, and told him I was cutting him off because I was appalled at what he said to what was basically a child, who had wanted to off themself. He got mad, and told me he tries to get students to do their homework, so he can do well at his job. This video clip reminded me of that exact same idea he just expressed into words. He then told me I desperately needed help, and that I never should think of myself as his equal. In the past, he would comfort me by saying "Life is short." What a piece of work. What a monster. The worst part is, he got a "nicest teacher" award in school, probably more than one time. So multiple nice teacher awards hanging on his wall. You better watch out for some of these older people in authoritative positions, they can be psychological and moral monsters.

[@alexanikolas9172]

EDIT: To abbreviate and expand my old interpration: I feel this is about stages of grief, with Darcy always being at least one stage ahead of her sister. Marcy is still in denial in the beginning, trying to keep herself busy, while Darcy falls into depression and tries to bargain on how to feel motherly love again. Marcy eventually has to face her trauma. In the end, I like to think that both twins have found comfort in having each other and can move on with their lives (although it is unclear whether they will still have a world to live in afterwards). ---------------------------- (old) My take: Both twins miss their late mother and both "choose" different ways of coping with the loss. Darcy falls into depression , which she tries to combat with pills. Marcy tries to distract herself by playing tennis. Both twins want to experience motherly love again and they need each other in order to do so, but fail to play the role the other twin wants them to play. Darcy wants to be comforted by her sister (represented by the bunny in the portal). Marcy wants her sister to play tennis with her and succeed (represented by the cat in the portal). The devil on Marcy's shoulder is trying to protect her from her emotions and from falling into despair over her mother's death like Darcy, which is why it encourages her to distract herself with tennis and to destroy the statues vaguely resembling her mother. The angel doesn't want this, as it recognizes you can't run away from trauma. After her sister crashes, Marcy's trauma catches up with her as she enters the portal. The devil tries to stop her from encountering her emotions and trauma, only for Marcy to realise that she has been stopping herself from processing her trauma, hurting her sister (devil stomping the cat) and herself (the devil punching Marcy) in the end. In my interpretation, both twins have now realised that they need each other to process the loss of their mother. At the end, they could try to climb the fence and commit suicide, but instead, they embrace each other, meaning that they haven't given up on each other, even if the world has given up on them.

Some things to note: -Darcy dresses up in a cat onesie, which looks visibly blue upon entering the so-called portal. Marcy, on the other hand, has a pink bunny sitting in the corner of her room which is visible at 4:20. Darcy also has cats filling her room. The animals each twin encounters within the portal represent the other and, more importantly, how they wish their counterpart acted. Darcy desires a comforting companion, and her experience in the dream world mirrors her crayon picture at 1:13, while Marcy desires a partner to help her achieve her dreams. -Marcy's room is filled to the brim with trophies and, in many ways, is an exemplary image of a goal-driven person. She is neat, tidy, and has pictures of her family which build on this idea that she wants to see Darcy as a partner and/or companion. Darcy, however, is a stark contrast to Marcy in that she seems disinterested in appearances altogether and instead just wants worldly comforts. Her room is messy and is devoid of any trophies despite the fact that the twins compete together and, therefore, should share trophies. Despite Marcy's wishes, Darcy doesn't view tennis the same way she does and likely never will. -The title likely refers to the world found within Darcy's portal or alludes to the fact that both twins presumably die at the end of the film, since the outside world is full of chaos, turmoil, and disappointment. The fact that they live in a large mansion is probably a red herring and employed for the sake of making this clear. -Marcy's personal demon performs a lot of the actions her real-life counterpart does in the waking world. She smashes sculptures, hides from the angel who resembles her mother, lashes out at Darcy, thrashes herself, and eventually takes on her appearance as a whole. Marcy is striving to act more like her mother and as a mature individual but, in doing so, ultimately does the opposite by placing value on the wrong things. Even in the dream world, we see that it is Marcy's demon which resembles herself that ultimately destroys the image of her mother. Instead of comforting Darcy after her accident, Marcy goes on a rant about their competition and mourns the loss of her would-be victory and not her sister, a mistake which she fixes at the end of the video by making up with her sister and accepting things as they are. -Both sisters struggle to deal with the outside world in manners that are not self-destructive and, at the end of the video, embrace the outside only to presumably be destroyed.

[@helios1087]

also i want to add that when we see Marcy's room, first we see a lot of big and probably very important trophies. They are biggest objects in the picture and contrast with dominating pink colors.

I love how small the twins feel in this. It really does showcase how powerless they are in it all. They're tennis stars who are forced to compete and do questionable things against their will. They can't even get help because their therapist doesn't care. You have adults who are massive compared to them showing that power difference and even the mother who feels monumental which does incapsulate how much the twins clearly valued her and how important she was. Then you have the outside world which isn't spacious but incredibly cramped showing such a oppressive feeling which imo puts it all onto place how much of a wasteland the world is. The outside doesn't allow them space to exist while the inside is so big that they are non-existent. And then you have their rooms which are the only places outside of the tennis courts which feel like they're perfectly sized to the twins. Genuinely really insane use of space to do visual story telling.

My sister, while not my twin, treated the entire situation with so much apathy and bitterness towards me, telling me I was stupid and selfish and even demanding I apologize for what I did to myself, all because she missed work and missed her twitch stream.

Blame them for hurting THEMSELVES. You might as well fucking spit on me and shit on my grave if you treat me that way. When I was going through my high school years depressed, lonely, and with no friends, I hated being treated like nothing was wrong even though I was obviously looking like a lifeless husk all the time. What really pushed me over the edge was how my parents got UPSET at me for being emotionally broken. See a kid leaning on their school table and limping like a corpse all day? Don’t feel bad for them, or have sympathy for them, or ask them “what’s wrong”, no. PUNISH them for “misbehaving” and being a dipshit “spoiled” kid. Anyways, now I’m feeling much happier!

When my father took me out of the hospital after my suicide attempt, he asked 'Aren't you ashamed to go home?' I answered 'About what?'. And he replied 'You know what' It's hard for them to accept that it's their fault that I felt that way, so it's easier for them to put the blame on the other person, rather than to take the blame And also he accused me of manipulating them. He thinks that I did it on purpose, that i planned my attempt to not die as a result, just to fall asleep. He thinks that i tried to get something out of it... Like, what? Liver disease from drinking 100 pills? Honestly I just wanted to die and I still regret that I didn't die that day. The worst part is when you wake up and understand that you're still alive... I could've died actually right away from toxic influence on my liver or from vomit, but ambulance came faster. I didn't know nothing about meds. I thought I would die in my sleep, but then I found out that death from this combo of meds is not what i wanted it to be, it's more painful. Also I could've become disabled There was a combo of neuroleptics, sleeping pills, antidepressants, painkillers and normotimics. When I felt drowsiness, I thought that I'm dying and I suddenly got scared that my friends will blame themselves, so I wrote a message on the wall and called them... I was so stupid. My friend called an ambulance, not my parents. Sorry for my English, I'm not a native speaker

I really love how much deep is marcy and darcy's relationship. both want their mother's love back, Darcy thinks she needs marcy's help to summon her just to see her again, while Marcy thinks their success as tennis players will bring them validation and the motherly love they miss so much. what happens is that they don't really seem to rely on one another for support even though both of them want it so much. they grew so appart even though they were supposed to be the closest to one another. what ends up happening is that this relationship based on the false promise of happiness hurts both of them so much, and the world around them just crumbles apart while their relationship deteriorates. honestly, I really loved this short. it's the third time in a row I've watched it. Thank you so much for making this. as some who relates very deeply to some things in this video I think I've never seen somebody capture it as well as you did. it almost feels like a mirror

[@fricka4798]

It's interesting how in the sister's rooms, one girl has only plushies, because she desires friends, and the more competitive sister has only trophies as her main focus.

[@hashbrown7845]

It would make sense considering their different dream sequences. Darcy imagines the pink rabbit as a friend, which could possibly be seen as what she wants Marcy to be to her. Marcy imagines the blue cat as a teammate, playing and winning the tennis championship with her after Darcy’s overdose, likely symbolizing what she wants from Darcy. It is indeed quite interesting how everything connects like that

[@pre-madebreakfastsandwich]

i also would like to build on this noting that marcy comes into darcy’s room after the tournament is long over, knowing that her main focus means nothing with the nuclear explosion bound to happen. she is taking a step in her sister’s shoes to better understand her and why she did what she did.

[@masonmireles9295]

[@Fyodorspetrat]

5:20 this bit will always make my eyes water and send chills around my body

[@raccmeta]

A few of my favorite details: -The bunny clock & plushies in Marcy's room and the cat clock, plushies & hoodie in Darcy's. Possibly alluding to the bunny/cat creatures in the portal world showing the twins desire for a closer relationship. -Advert at the beginning talking about the end of the world/rapture then when Marcy marks her calender we see there are 15 more days until the tennis championship (+plus everything else that happens that day) -Signs of the nuclear bomb being referenced all throughout the animation (news report at beginning, presidential speech, riots and decline of the city) -During the president's speech he says "I will nuke my own country because god wants us dead." Possibly related to the rapture advert(?) -Darcy's drawing shows the cat and bunny creatures beside a pentagram. Then when Darcy "revives" her mother the bunny and Darcy mirror her drawing. -The portal "screen" is shown shattered at the beginning before Darcy starts taking the pills -Right before the therapy scene where Darcy gets the pills, in the street shot we can see shoes thrown over the telephone line -Practically all the plants in the house are wilting

[@addyrmorris]

It seems like Marcy did not like the expectations her mother put on her. When she is high, the devil kills her mother, then tries to kill the cat (her sister) we also see this when Marcy and the cat win the tennis match. So it seems the devil is her self hate and anger towards other people.

[@TEMMIE-dz2lg]

This is the 3rd time I have ever cared so much about characters in a piece of media. Throughout the entire piece, I cared so fiercely for both of the twins. I wasn’t huge on animations like this, but my friend showed me this channel and it changed. This animation will always hold a special place in my heart. I enjoy the little details here, where Darcy only spoke once, and that was in paradise. I also like how the animals in paradise represented the twin that wasn’t currently in paradise. (For example, when Darcy was in paradise she befriended a rabbit and when Marcy was there she befriended a cat.) I like that you can tell of this because of their room color schemes/the vibe they give off. And the fact that they each had something that represented the animal. Marcy had a rabbit stuffed animal in her room, and Darcy had a bunch of cats stuffed animals + a cat onesie. I also love that even when at the end of the film before they both died due to the nuke, despite the fact that they had little to no differences you could still tell who was who. (At least on my part, or it could’ve been just where Darcy had a head bandage on.) I also loved how the angel on Marcy’s shoulder was implied to represent her mother. (Considering the fact Darcy and the rabbit had summoned her + the pictures of her had blue hair.) And I also presume that the devil that stayed with Marcy throughout the film more than likely represented herself, since near the end when she gets beaten up by it, it goes from a demon to a girl in a ponytail that is wearing a demon hoodie. I really enjoyed how the “angel and devil on the shoulder” thing was taken to a whole other level here, and this is my favorite piece of media I have ever seen. Thank you so much for releasing this masterpiece Vewn. :)

Anyone's going to talk about how Marcy's angel is her mum and her devil is her?

[@yeather_6562]

I also see it as the one she killed, if we look into Marcys lady portal trip, someone comes behind her mother and kills her with a knife in the back, which prompts Marcy to quickly beat the life out of them. Forever entangling their souls. Or maybe the mother was killed in relation to them, she was driving to a tennis game and was caught in a bad collision, so now Marcy blames herself.

[@akihirohoshigaki5386]

[@LuisMan123]

@@yeather_6562 I see it as if Marcy ignored her inner angel too long and focus on the devil too much (the one telling her to work harder) so the angel left her already but then she realized In the portal that the devil is bad so she tries to mess the devil up while realizing that she's the bad one/devil

They were basically put in a big house with a big mansion, they seem popular and maybe tennis aces? (Idk they have a coach and cost a game so) but what's really gone on was the death of their mother, which slowly spiraled out of control. Figure out the rest for yourself I'm still watching it

[@JimmyMcGill4827]

I realized that the mom’s design kinda looks different for either of the girls, with Marcy the mom’s hair has two bangs like Darcy’s and with Darcy her hair’s down like in the pictures,, maybe Marcy kinda sees her angel as both Marcy and her mom or smthing idk

[@flupples2893]

There are already a lot of comments on meaning so I'll try to highlight a few things I think people should focus on: a). The story's about how the two girls are grieving with the loss of their mother; Darcy becomes reclusive, depressed and turns to escapism in drug use (also looks for a way to bring her mother back with the satanic ritual stuff) while Marcy tries to distract herself from her negative emotions with tennis (supposedly because it would have made her mother happy) and it results in her lashing out at the things around her b). The cat represents Darcy and the bunny represents Marcy and they each express what they want from the other twin with their experience inside of Darcy's portal c). Marcy's devil represents her avoidance from her emotions and consequently her self-destruction; it's why the devil destroys everything she's worked for in the portal, she realizes she's been her own enemy and her refusal to accept her mother's death has been the real thing destroying her happiness (if you look at the scene with the trophy, her smile fades as soon as she gets it because she realizes all she's really wanted was her mother's affection again)- it's also why the devil seems suspicious of everything in the portal and actively avoids facing the portal mother's affection, it would have to come to terms with the fact she's dead d). All of the imagery everywhere of hedonistic representations of drugs, sex, and religion are all to represent avoidance of death and the various ways people cope with death; whether it's escapism, a belief in the afterlife, or a materialistic fixation like the one their coach had on money with his exploitation of the girls e). The final scene where the girls clearly had the option to commit suicide represents their final acceptance of death and so instead of trying they decide to enjoy the time they have left with each other. They find the affection they've been longing for this entire time in each other

I finally understand what the portal world represents, we all know that the bunny is Marcy and the cat is Darcy, but if you look at how different they act to each other it’s obvious that the portal world shows what each wants out of the other, Darcy wants Marcy to spend time playing with her and Marcy wants Darcy to focus on what they’ve worked for with no breaks
