Wow. This is so relatable. I also grew up with grandparents. They are no artists, but they think they know what artists are suppose to be. Sometimes it feels like they want me to draw normal things... like landscapes and flowers, so they would have something to show to our relatives. And here I am, 23 and still drawing cartoons. I'm proud of myself but deep inside I feel like a disappointment of our family 😔 Not ti mention I'm 23 and only now I found the courage to do my first tattoos. All this time I was afraid of their opinions

@@harper5378(TL;DR: story about finding myself, coming out, then discovering my favorite color) like a lot of trans guys, I tried before even knowing who I was to fit in with the other boys. I thought I was a tomboy feminist (i still am a feminist, to be clear). I didn't want to play with girls or associate myself with princesses or anything like that. My dad's favorite color was purple, and one day when I was very little my mom said she knew everything about me because she was my mom, and I challenged her to say my favorite color. I didn't know what my favorite color was, but she said purple and I believed her. It took a long time for me to hatch. I spent a long time cracking at it, giving every excuse as to why I couldn't be as soon as I had learned the word. I actually hatched two days after coming out as lesbian to my family. I had a similar struggle with my attraction to girls, and coming out as lesbian made me realize all the excuses I had made with liking girls had happened with slight variation with my gender. I kept it to myself for several months. Then I went to a Halloween party, and I was binding because I was dressed as Bob Ross. A stranger at the party asked my mom, "what school does he go to?" My mom "corrected" them and it hurt so much to pass then just to have that thrown away that I came out to her that night and the rest of the family a couple weeks later. I was wearing a pink jacket that day. I realized that night that no matter what there would be people who hated me and misgendered me no matter how hard I tried or how "masculine" i got. And I learned that my favorite color is pink.

It reminds me of my childhood. I was raised mostly by my grandma. She died when I was young. At some point I finally figured out that I was gay. The thought that my grandma would be disappointed in who I am rung over me. I created a fictional version of who she was, still kind and loving, but denning me my sense of self. One day it boiled up so much I told my dad how I felt. He told me that my grandma was a love thy neighbor advocate. That at the time she had already known gay people, and said let them be them, love them for who they are. I always tear up when I think too much about her. Even beyond the grave she's still helping me grow. You see in my heart of hearts it mattered most to me that she would've accepted me. After that no one else's acceptance mattered nearly as much. I love and miss you grandma.

Ultimately, you accomplished the perfect mix between reality and imagination in this project! there's so much strength in the storyline, especially when paired with the animation.

A very huge thing that stuck out to me this entire animation was; the color red... the color red throughout this entire animation symbolizes almost despair, sadness, emptiness, etc in my opinion. The way their grandmothers lipstick is red, the way their grandmothers paintings are all red, the flowers they picked also being red, even when the walls were caving in on them and grabbing at them were red. It’s a huge contrast from the art work that they genuinely enjoyed making which is full of more blue and pastel colors. One part of this film that had that symbolism of red that I absolutely adored was when they put on the shirt of his creation, but covered it up with a static, bright red jacket. I feel like the red in this film represents a lot of the feeling of repression as well and it really speaks to me as I have felt very similar before too. Another thing I’d like to point out that I thought was a very nice touch was how towards the end, when he/she found a bit of hope and love for their art work, everything around them also started getting more blue. I think the lipstick is also a huge factor into this, as they said they always wanted their grandmas lipstick which was red, but instead got lipstick that was blue. The blue (imo) symbolizes hope, happiness, and self love with what they have made and done. And that honestly within itself almost made me cry tears of joy. This is a fantastic animation, I loved it from front to back and would love to see more stuff like this from you in the future :) keep up the phenomenal work! Much love~

This is absolutely beautiful... I can't relate to being trans, and i've never had my family talk down abt my art, but this video... this was inspiring. It felt real, like it came from a real person... with real struggles. sometimes it's hard to ever watch videos on youtube that make you feel that way.

Wow... What a beautiful film. As someone who's also struggled with figuring out what they *really* want after blindly doing whatever other people told them to do, I'm so happy you could break free of the desires imposed by your grandma and by everyone else and do what makes you happy and draw what you like to draw. Not only is this inspiring, but it's a good reminder that sometimes little comments and words of encouragement can mean the world to people, even people you don't know

As a person who identifies more on the feminine side of the gender spectrum i feel happy with this i love it because wanting to please others is easy being who you want to be is hard this shows it like art and gender at the same time its beautiful and I hope I can see more stuff like this

Also a trans woman who still shows a liking to stuff like this makes me feel affirmed

I can be myself or I can be what someone else thinks I should be, but I cannot be both. Only one of these will let me be happy; only one of these will really end up with me being true to myself. Only one of this will really let me live, both figuratively, and in far too many cases, literally. Thank you for this video. I literally applauded! (At least briefly, as I watch videos while running on my treadmill and really shouldn't throw my balance off too much!)

Im not trans myself but as an artist I can relate to this so much. I’ve been told I’ll never be good at art, but here I am making better art than before and will be opening a shop soon and that makes me happy 💕✨

I actually love how soft your voice is. It's adorable, and I love that you've learned to love your own art, and hopefully, yourself.

Y’know that feeling when you’ve already liked something, but wish you could like it again, and then you find yourself wishing that there was a “love” option on KZbin? This is one of those times.
