Shikabane No Odori | Flower Symbolism MAP | Part 17

for @Mapple Pie !! wahoo featuring puck and robin and a mysterious unnamed man who doesnt even really have a design yet (hence why he is suit only) i was gonna make this loop a few times but tbh i do not want to edit the video u__u
anyway this is a part of the plot i havent brought up anywhere except with some friends in private so good luck deciphering what is going on here... u will get no answers. puck's flower is a dahlia, robin's are foxgloves and poppies, and the man's are rhododendron and wolf's bane. EDIT: OH and the flowers at the end are violets and a lily
Map call: • •Shikabane No Odori• E...
Characters: Puck, Robin, mysterious unnamed man
Song: Shikabane no Odori ( • Kikuo - しかばねの踊り ) (im gonna keep it real with you guys i have no idea which vocaloid sings this. i thought it was miku but the video says Kikuo?? is that a vocaloid or the songwriter??)

Me: oh wow such a smooth and nice animation the colours are so soothi-
Also me:WAIT WHA ROBIN NO DONT TRUST FLOWER PERSON, PUCK SAVVEEE HERRR, NOOOOOOOO

[@_peppoco_]

Incredible how you can portray so much of a story with just a small glimpse of it; wonderful job on this animation and color palette!!
Predictions: I’m guessing that from her expression, Puck is walking away from Robin in slight,,,,disbelief? Not the word I’m looking for,,,,,what I mean is my prediction is that Robin may want to make a deal or accept an offer from the mysterious guy thinking it will help with something, and Puck does not support her decision, walking away more angry than sad; she has a blank furrowed stare that seems as if she is shocked that Robin is going through with that decision?? Maybe she didn’t listen to her, or she does not trust the man. The flowers have lots of different symbolisms but since the flowers are a part of the map theme I’m not sure if they’re relevant,,,, I’m gonna mention ones I think might be relevant. One thing dahlias represent are inner strength and lifelong commitment, so I feel like that has to do with their friendship. Foxgloves might be about being insincere (tricky fairy flower?) Rhododendrons are ironically optimistic energy and wealth/elegance, but multiple sources are saying they represent caution, warnings, and danger!! Robin please be careful, that person might not be trustworthy!! Oh!! Wolf’s Banes also are caution, death, hate for mankind, etc, so definitely a warning for Robin!! Violets are modesty and innocence, and the Lilly might be modesty and purity: perhaps about Robin’s ignorance? Which might be wrong considering how intelligent and serious Robin is. But puck is cheerful so maybe it’s for her, but the plant looks almost dead,,,,,,all in all there’s trouble brewing on the horizon, I just know it!!
edit: spelling

[@_peppoco_]

Another note to add: Puck’s pitch bible mentions she is “quick to judge” and “has trouble compromising”; she might be disagreeing with Robin’s decision or view on the situation, and judging who the man is on other factors Robin might not see; idk if it’s relevant but I felt the need to add it!!
Edits:
-poppies represent being oblivious? Robin might be oblivious to what she’s getting herself into
-both violets and lillies represent love between two women 👀👀👀👀
-wolf’s bane = misanthropy (hate people); is he the person behind the flood to erase humankind?? the one Puck is trying to stop???
-also THANK YOU for hearting my comment I squealed 😭
-also I just realized I could’ve looked at the Flower Wikipedia from the map call IM,,,,,, CKKSNDKSNXKE

Some one probably already said this but this song is from the songwriter kikuo, who uses hatsune miku as a vocaloid/singer in his songs! Also I love that you can portray so much detail and emotion in just 4 seconds! That's real talent right there!

[@weirdanimationsworkshop573]

Its amasing!

[@LilyWalkows]

Casey!! The colors on this so are lovely & you did such a nice job animating as ALWAYS :")

[@saminating]

i feel like robin made a deal of some sort with the mysterious man, and puck didn't want robin to do it because puck has some sort of history with them? just a theory lol. great animation nonetheless!

[@_peppoco_]

I agree with this!! I said something similar but long-winded, you say it a lot better and more concise!!

[@owlyghost1]

its only 3 seconds long and yet i have so many questions................... amazing work tho I absolutely love it!!!

[@Gothfrog]

Dia ghràdhaich your art style is so beautiful ;^;

[@vazak11]

Cool!

[@funky2121]

Omg HOOOW 😯😯😯

[@numbug1234]

This is that scene where two close friends come across an impasse they cannot agree on, and their friendship is ruined over it.
Except it'll turn out that the friend who made the deal is going to have their life in danger and the friend who walked out now needs to save their friend, because in the end they still care.

[@Hero-nt7qf]

*nice*

[@rinkero1901]

this is amazing holy crap??
also, for the song, miku is the vocaloid, and kikuo made the song, so kikuo should be credited

[@ziril3972]

:0 what could this meaaaaan

[@_peppoco_]

Im so sorry I already made a comment and put this under than comment but more theories because!! I love this story and these characters and the flower symbols are big hints:
A) Puck’s pitch bible mentions she is “quick to judge” and “has trouble compromising”; she might be disagreeing with Robin’s decision or view on the situation, and judging who the man is on other factors Robin might not see; idk if it’s relevant but I felt the need to add it!!
B) poppies represent being oblivious? Robin might be oblivious to what she’s getting herself into
C) both violets and lillies represent love between two women ✨ 👀👀👀👀
D) wolf’s bane = misanthropy (hate for people); is he the person behind the flood to erase humankind?? the one Puck is trying to stop (according to pitch bible)???
E) also I just realized I could’ve looked at the Flower Wikipedia from the map call IM,,,,,, CKKSNDKSNXKE I wish I did that first
F) Check our my other long-winded rambling comment for the other theory I made if you want

[@lovely1469]

Me seeing this beautiful animation and also knowing the song : 👁👄👁

[@saradrawsstuff]

WOAH

[@naturerules8816]

💖

[@lillay9575]

About the volcaloid question in the description, Kikuo is a producer who makes vocaliod music, and i believe he's using Miku in this song
