I feel like in this one it was weirdly bittersweet? Like the idea of having that much job security and doing what you love is nice, but then also the thought this is all you’ll ever have is scary.
"If we're lucky" stuck out the most to me. They don't know if they'll have the security of a job tomorrow. They don't know if they'll have the job for the rest of their lives. That notion of your future depending on "luck" is scarier when you realize that the job that you have was the best thing to ever happen to you, that for all the years that you've worked there, it has essentially become *apart* of you. Yet, you don't know if it will last. Don't know what would happen to you if it was shut down and taken from you. Putting that amount of trust into something that lacks stability and certainty is terrifying. At the end of the day, everybody wants to feel secure in a place that fulfills them. You could have a colleague that wants to cheer you up, a workplace that gives you purpose, a cake that's ready to be cut, and yet the rain still won't go away because it's just as *real* as everything else that's good in your life. The gloom of the rain is also valid, just like how the joy of eating cake is valid. All these feelings exist in tandem. It's okay to not know what the future holds for you. It's okay to put your trust in "luck". It's okay to be afraid.

@@TheAMVDorf oh yeah. I don't think it's gone at all. It's just a point someone made regarding anime of the past. Though I think they were arguing we don't see it as much. But as you said: it's mainly seen in certain genres now.
the animation for stubbing out the cigarette was so goddamn good and in an animation with great quality already it’s incredible how well made this is. i can tell you put your heart into this. do the guys ever kiss each other.
Oh my God, I nearly spilled my tea when I got the alert. Also, beautiful monologue. That's life really, a series of uncertain realities that you never know for sure when they will shift or stop all together. However, I would rather scramble through the rough changes than remain stagnated in one same place. The left-over silence of the rain in the end really sank in on the realization. You either embrace uncertainty and head on, or you remain trapped inside a building with stale office cake. Sometimes, maybe it's best to bolt out into the rain, not looking back.
Beautifully said. The lingering rain scene at the end felt like so unnerving & cold, but somehow hopeful. Such an simple & powerful video and heartwarming comment section. Zalinki brings real humans together via drawings. Sick!
I was just yesterday re-watching "it's raining" since there was a big storm in my city and it became flooded. That animation has a special place in my heart because no matter how loud the thunder is I can always remember that one asshole friend who didn't want to play twister and laugh with my family. Thank you Zalinki
I felt this in my ribs. I'm sorry. Thank you. It also reminds me so much of that bit in Vonnegut's Player Piano (one of my favorites): “You think I'm insane?" said Finnerty. Apparently he wanted more of a reaction than Paul had given him. "You're still in touch. I guess that's the test." "Barely-barely." "A psychiatrist could help. There's a good man in Albany." Finnerty shook his head. "He'd pull me back into the center, and I want to stay as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all kinds of things you can't see from the center." He nodded, "Big, undreamed-of things-the people on the edge see them first.”
As a creative, this hits me really hard. I've spent the better part of my life making art, animation, music, poetry, fiction, anything and everything I could use to express myself and as much as I wanna say it's for me, that's not really true. As humans we crave validation for the things we do regardless of if we want to or not. And while that might not be the point of this animation, that's where it hits me. In the sense that somewhere along the line, I lost myself to that desire to be validated and I'm slowly losing steam. Years I've spent giving up on project after project because nothing I make ever interests anyone. I dunno though. I don't think a Zalinki comment section is where I should be airing a majority of this out, but hey. Maybe someone out there vibes with this.
That ending was a really good metaphor (even if unintentional) for the exact thing the rest of this video is demonstrating. It's a long scene with no changes in movement, focus, or tone. Just one long shot of raindrops hitting the ground. It doesn't even get a proper conclusion or punchline... It abruptly ends with no fanfare. Such a simple video but so powerful all the same. And this is from the same guy who animated a worldwide virus getting jiggy with it.
Hey man, whatever is happening I just want to say thank you so much of content you have put out. I, as many others, have been inspired by your work. I always like your take on things that are grounded that capture the human experience; dread, tiredness, and over all uncertainty. But in contrast the beauty, comradery, and just simply enjoying a rainy day. Thank you.
I love how both characters were picking up on each other’s non verbal queues. The smoking guy really wanted to know what was up but was also trying to play it as the cool, collected older coworker.
Love this. I feel like a lot of people talk about doing something "for the rest of their lives" as a dream, whereas for others it can literally be hell frozen over on a "thin sheet of ice". cant help but relate to that senitment
I love that you've been creating this little universe surrounding "THE PLAN", "Music for Sad People", "COVID-20", and now this. It's the rise and fall of this little company that represents your channel, and at this point, we all know what's going to happen because of Music for Sad People. I hope the janitor got out ok. That being said, I do hope you know that your channel has been an inspiration for thousands of people. I've been making videos for four years now and you were one of my earliest inspirations for the overall vibe and tone that I wanted to set. I made a video called "Our Brand" that very closely modeled "the Plan" and it has kind of set the overall tone of the last four years, so without "the Plan" I don't think my channel would be what it is today. I just hit 1.8k subs and I started at zippity zap. This is a tough industry and not one I would recommend to anyone who wants to make money, but it's also a vehicle for some of the most creative pieces of art I've seen. Your channel is one of those special gems that I'll always watch, no matter the upload. Break a leg out there.
1:28 the statements "the longer i stay here the scarier it is knowing its all i have" and "crawling out further and further from shore on a ocean of thin ice" are some of the deepest things ive heard all year and idk if ill recover.
The clarity afforded by that little animation of him crushing the cigarette and that 5 seconds of rain… that’s nice. That’s what it’s about. For every tension, there has to be a release.
wow. i really like this video zalinki. its so mundane but like, in a good way. it feels like ive just peered into somebody else’s life kind of, and its normal. and i really like that.
I LOVED this omg Usually animations are about fantasy, or with enthusiastic songs in the background, this is just raw adult office life. As someone who worked for almost two years at one (then I quitted because I was just like that guy) it really catches that vibe really well. Your work with the expressions and voices is so amazing, I can't tell how wonderful it is, loved it, thank you so much for sharing this masterpiece!
love how this contributes to the overall lore of his videos. also love that in the end i waited in suspense, hoping he'd come out, run, to go do something he enjoyed that didn't make him feel like it's all he had. and then i thought, i hope i'll run out to do more things I enjoy, that art wasn't the only thing i could do despite loving it. and i think that's what he is trying to say too. that he hopes art isn't all he has, cuz while he loves it, it's so unceartain. and if you've seen his other videos, you know that those characters die in there, thinking they'll have another chance to switch up, to do something different. maybe that's his hope dying with said characters but i'm hoping that we're both wrong, and art isn't all we have. and we won't die thinking we'll have a chance to discover what we were truly meant to do. i hope we won't waste our chance. i hope there'll always be another one
i was just thinking about how i've been following you for almost 6 years now the other day-- literally heading into my freshman year of university in a month. good to see you're still around :)
These people being portrayed as so sane, so normal, so human, really makes it more tragic what happens next. They’re not 1-dimensional nobodies who turned on each other out of nowhere. They’re scared adults barely holding it together in a job that won’t give back to them.
I don't know why but the blue tones, realistic dialogue and the sound of the rain just makes this feel so real. Made me imagine as if these were just real dudes having a chat outside in the rain so vividly, even though the monochromic color palette is so simple. Great vid
Absolutely in love with the juxtaposition of the immaculate 24 fps cigarette stamping to punctuate the dialogue. And saying "I don't know" twice really authenticated the scene for me, if that makes sense.
I was just rewatching some of your older videos, and without a doubt I'm very glad to have grown up on youtube watching some of your stuff. If it means anything, seeing your art watching your animations has left a mark on a lot of people, and I'm very glad to be one of them.
It's a reference to one of his earlier animations, and also a reference to a game (I don't know if the latter is intentional or not, though). The cake is a lie.
Man this captured such a nuanced emotion but I think we all feel to some degree. The rain, the pauses and reiterating statements, the dismissal of the doubts at the end. It feels like conversations I've had and it's so well done.
@@Ashash197its because you said nothing of value. you came rushing through the door with nothing to hold, screaming “iM heRE eVeryOnE! ME ME ME! im me and here and fUrSt!!!” When literally nobody cares about that. Did you want a round of applause? A congratulations for popping up and not acknowledging the work before you? That’s obnoxious. You are obnoxious. So naturally, everyone else will get hundred’s of likes, while they ignore you. Because youre only talking about yourself. How about next time when you go rushing through that door, instead of being empty handed, you come in presenting something of actual VALUE, something people can resonate with, and not just your ego.
it's really rough right now in the animation industry. I've seen a lot of people being hurt and affected because of how much they love what they do. But, I know people will always love animation. Even if it feels like they don't care anymore. I don't know how you've been affected by all that is going on. But every thing you make has always been amazing. Whether it's funny, or existentially beautiful, I always enjoy what you've made.
I love normal conversations like this, it just feels like you're seeing a tiny slice of someone's actual life before pulling out again knowing that other people go through the same challenges as everyone else
I’ve always been amazed how much distinct personality you’re able to put into your characters without changing your voice between them at all. Lovely stuff, thank you Zinkly
This is oddly refreshing. Not just the rain sounds, but the conversation. Its so real that listening to it makes the soul feel a little lighter somehow.
The noise i made when youtube finally recommended your video to me is one that has yet to be catalogued. On a side note, i like the purposeful vagueness of it all. While it’s an allegory for youtube, it’s also an allegory for art as a whole, and besides those two, an allegory for almost every career- it’s about getting older, and the fear that comes with decisions long made. And it’s correct! How exciting it must be to have achieved your young self’s dreams- but how terrifying to be stuck with them.
Hey, that wasn’t funny at all!

"You're still in touch. I guess that's the test."
"Barely-barely."
"A psychiatrist could help. There's a good man in Albany."

Man this is my favorite type of animation, just simple stuff executed perfectly. This feels so real and human, i needed to see a video like this today
my eyes teared up towards the end like- the way that heaviness *lingers* just- I love this so much ughhhhh
it's really rough right now in the animation industry. I've seen a lot of people being hurt and affected because of how much they love what they do. But, I know people will always love animation. Even if it feels like they don't care anymore. I don't know how you've been affected by all that is going on. But every thing you make has always been amazing. Whether it's funny, or existentially beautiful, I always enjoy what you've made.
I went from he's sad because he hates his job to he's sad because he never wants to lose it
I love normal conversations like this, it just feels like you're seeing a tiny slice of someone's actual life before pulling out again knowing that other people go through the same challenges as everyone else
I’ve always been amazed how much distinct personality you’re able to put into your characters without changing your voice between them at all. Lovely stuff, thank you Zinkly
You are genuinely one of my favorite artists.
Beautiful animation as always.
There is something so satisfying about how the rain is done, especially in the last shot
"The rest of your life isn't that long if you don't think about it"
This is truly perfection, you are way too good at this dude
its always a special moment when my favorite big man uploads his yearly animation :)
This is oddly refreshing. Not just the rain sounds, but the conversation. Its so real that listening to it makes the soul feel a little lighter somehow.
youre a big inspiration dude, seriously, one of the reasons I went to college for animation. keep up the great work!!!
That shading on the environment especially the trees is really good!
The noise i made when youtube finally recommended your video to me is one that has yet to be catalogued. On a side note, i like the purposeful vagueness of it all. While it’s an allegory for youtube, it’s also an allegory for art as a whole, and besides those two, an allegory for almost every career- it’s about getting older, and the fear that comes with decisions long made. And it’s correct! How exciting it must be to have achieved your young self’s dreams- but how terrifying to be stuck with them.
It's been ages since I've been over here but the art is still as mesmerizing as ever.
that shoe animation is immmaculate
This hits different when you watch it while sitting at your desk at the office
