me at the beginning: awww this is so cute and heartwarming i love this me at 2:20 when i started crying: oh so its gonna be like that huh? me at the end, sobbing: OH SO ITS GONNA BE LIKE THAT HUH?
A progression of me listening to this "Hell yeah TAZ animatic." "Oh great HONEYBEE. IM GONNA CRY I KNOW IT." "Yep I'm gonna cry." "This wedding is sOH MY GOD." And then I'm sobbing for the rest of this video.
Wow I didn't expect to see it become the whole adventure. But it did and that was amazing! You really showed well on how happy Magnus and Julia were. And them fighting Cailan together!!
yes!! i always loved the idea of Magnus and Julia being the passionate young love birds that co-lead and inspired the rebellion. its such a sweet song im glad u liked it :)
I started crying after the transition from their wedding to the destruction and from then on my vision was blurred with tears and feelings were basically tearing my heart open so I might have to watch a second or third time to percieve everything better, but it's just so emotional and it hurts in the best and worst way and just- there's still tears on my cheeks, this is one of the most beautiful animatics I've ever seen, and probably the one to make me cry the hardest. It also really made appreciate Julia's and Magnus' relationship more. You can really see their love here. It feels so real and intense and... I just love this. Thank you.
I love the part where the silhouette of Julia gets further away when the others of the gang come in because that really shows how he can think about his grief less because he has friends to pass the time with. Beautiful
I just want to thank you for introducing me to Steam Powered Giraffe. They've been a blessing to my life is so many ways over the past few months and it's all thanks to this absolutely BEAUTIFUL video that makes me cry every time I watch it
oh lordt you really did make me cry all over again huh i just realized that in order to have julia's wedding with him he would have, in fact, had to search the ashes and god that really hurts
This is so very good and makes me feel some very strong emotions. You managed to convey the pure love between these two so well. I think my favourite bit is when we see them dancing in the house through the windows as the day wears on. Just... oh my goodness this is so excellent and touches my heart.
This is absolutely phenomenal. I cannot understand why it has so little recognition? This yanked a whole lot of unexpected emotion and I cannot thank you enough for that.
I cannot physically comprehend how amazing this fandom is. Everybody in it is just so talented, and it makes me so happy that people still love and cherish every little aspect of this mind-boggling tale even though the brothers have moved on to Amnesty. I love Amnesty as well, but I simply don't know if I'll ever be able to find attachment like this again. Thank you for this wonderful addition.
I tried to sing along but halfway thru my voice was choking too much lol kudos to you picking a very suiting song and drawing basically a frame per beat hot damn mad respect.
This video rocks me to my core. Seriously. I've watched three times already (twice today), and still just as beautiful and impactful as the first time. Your animation style and cuts, as well as your presentation of his story are just amazing. This is one of the most beautiful things I've ever watched.
it is goddamn CRIMINAL how few views this has. fuckin beautiful idea and perfectly executed, Magnus' story perfectly fits this odd cheery but also melancholic tune to a T. Thanks for posting!
Oh man... I really cried at this.... The song was so sweet and so perfect! I also really love Magnus and Julia's designs... I can't really say much else because I'm so teary right now D:
anything having to do with their post-death reunion never fails to make me cry (ACTUAL TEARS) and this is definitely not an exception. the fact that it was the whole story made it all the more powerful. really amazing job
I constantly come back to this animatic. It's literally one of my all time favorites. The transition from the wedding to Julia's death kills me everytime. There's such a great sense of emotion throughout.
I saw this awhile ago, and it introduced me to taz and even though I didn't understand fully I still sobbed like a baby. Now that I have listened to it all, I am crying even harder. Thank you for showing me a series that has brightened my life.
Your sense of storytelling is absolutely incredible!!! It means so freaking much to have a piece of art move me to tears, because it hits so hard, and this piece DEFINITELY accomplished that. Your art style is so sweet, and the transitions were flawless, and the whole piece is so beautifully connected to the music. Absolutely incredible work!!!!
Okay I know it's been nearly three years at this point since it was made, but I only just now saw this video and I'm just.. Floored? I think is the right word? This song already makes me terribly emotional, but the beautiful storytelling you do with the music is utterly breathtaking. All the way through to Magnus' death, which between that and the destruction of raven's roost may have been the best cuts I've seen in a long time. Thank you so much for making this, it honestly put me in tears, still crying as I write this in fact.
Don't really listen to SPG and haven't been onto TAZ in years but I return to this animatic at least once every 3 month for the last 6 years. Makes me cry everytime
There isn’t a hetero couple I love more than Julia and Magnus. They’re so strong and good and even after not listening to the podcast as a whole for over the years at this point, they still get to me
Wow. I just found all your animatics, and just watched this twice in a row. Cried harder the second time (out loud, blubbering, freaking out my dogs). The most profound part for me is the bright shadow of Julia walking with him everywhere. Someone else said it's powerful because he wasn't alone once Merle and Taako joined, but it hurt for me to see it as him walking with her even when they were added. She never went away. She faded back when he had friends (and things to do and distractions and goals again, but you said it all with the simplicity of the walking figures). but she was still trailing him. SHIT. The moment when he turns away from the chalice's offer and the music gets more intense (as he cries tears but smiles at that sweet memory I mean my DUDE) aaaaaaaaaagh I'm obsessed with like pre-emptive grief and time with loved ones and losing them so this has been like my quarterly break. At least it was over fictional characters tonight. Thanks for this art seriously. Hot diggity shit
dude i just want to let you know i love this so much. i started sobbing so bad from beginning to end because god magnus developed so much throughout the podcast and i was not prepared to feel this much. every single shot of this is a blessing and i love you for this goddamn masterpiece.
This was lovely, I actually didn't cry during this part because I was spoiled and knew what was come but here.... I just started tearing up near the end. It was phenomenal
This is such a beautiful tribute to them it honestly brought me to tears! I can't express how well you depicted all of the key moments in Magnus and Julia's lives together!
And I'm crying all over again. Your art is so simple, and yet that almost makes it even more heartbreaking. Their love story should've been simple. It was adorable, even if they faced adversity every step of the way. You did such a great job, and I love it.
Oh, thank you so much for making me realize that if he had her ring when he died then, yes, he must have searched the rubble of his home. Found her body? Her ashes? Her... thanks. I needed to picture that and cry forever. Goodnight ):
I made it through TAZ just recently having spoiled a lot of it for myself before hand, so i never cried, just a ton of choking up. I listened to this song honeybee a lot back in highschool since it reminds me of my then girlfriend and current fiance... This brought me to absolute shaking tears. Knowing exactly where the song would go and seeing it all laid out before me so beautifully, I could not handle this and I am a puddle of emotions right now. Thank you for your art and your emotion you've shared with us. And have a lovely day.
oh my GOD I knew this song from when I was younger, it used to be so important to me, i clicked on this video from your other TAZ animatic and literally immediately started sobbing omg good job this is amazing and beautiful
this animatic was incredible and god damn I cried a lot at the ending, you did amazingly at capturing all the emotion Magnus and Julia's relationship gave in the podcast. Fantastic job
I don't usually write comments, and I know I'm a year late, but. I finished Balance yesterday. This animatic is what made me start it. I didn't know Magnus, or anyone, but I loved the amount of devotion and love and pure goodness this brought. Your storytelling is so Impactful, and the way you used the song? I can't ever imagine this song or hear it without hearing the love and loss and just. Goodness you brought. Your art, all of your animatics, are so crafted with love and goodness. You are an amazing artist. Now that I've finished it, the ending made me cry like a river, but. This is an absolutely stunning piece of work that has impacted me greatly, and I just wanted to thank you SO much for this. May you have an awesome journey, best of luck. Keep doing you.
i know this is a two year old video but i just started bawling like bawling bawling my fingers are sliding on my keyboard bc i cried on all the keys and i literally am losing it i cant believe youve done this
Dammit. Just got past the episode with the temporal chalice and there is a decent amount of spoilers that I have no context for but I'm still crying and I so very much hope that what you did at the end with Magnus dying of old age and being with her is a thing! I hope it's cannon and I'm not crying, you're crying!
I'm sending this to my friend after he finishes Balance... wish him luck. I've mostly gotten over Magnus's death, but I tear up sometimes. I also drew a picture of two honey jars, inspired by this animatic for my mom's birthday. She put it in the kitchen, so every single time I walk in,I'm reminded of Magnus (she doesn't understand the hidden reference, nor am I going to tell her what's up).
And for the last time,
Magnus rushes in.
I WAS ALREADY CRYING
You'll never be alone, even if you're ever separated.
StOp p l e a s e
HEY THAT'S RUDE
Garaway NO I LITERALLY JUST FINISHED BALANCE IM CRYING ENOUGH
The transition from their wedding to the rubble of Raven's Roost hurts so much and it's beautifully done
In fact every transition in this is fantastic and I love it a lot but you made me cry so you're going to jail
Jacqueline Paradis I really want a reaction video from him!
2:20 his face and the "Oh" were in perfect sync it hurt so much
i hope travis has seen this
finna tweet it at him
If he has, he cried. I just know it
I love how in the fuzzy flashback versions of the gang Lucretia is smiling in her red robe version
the transition from the ten years lost in wonderland to magnus’ death was so incredibly done and i loved it so much and the entire thing in general
me at the beginning: awww this is so cute and heartwarming i love this
me at 2:20 when i started crying: oh so its gonna be like that huh?
me at the end, sobbing: OH SO ITS GONNA BE LIKE THAT HUH?
I knew the song in advance so I know this shit was gonna HURT a LOT, so I was at that last state through the whole thing!
Handy Sandy haha yeah i knew the song but damn that was still a gut punch
@@handysandy5753 SAME as soon as the song started
I never heard this song before this animatic, so I rushed in blind.
God... I'm such a sucker for Magnus's backstory. The song and story always brings me to tears. This is so lovely.
Hey just wanna say you have a FANTASTIC sense of visual storytelling
^
Magnus's life hurt my soul!
OMG YOU’RE THE GUY WHO MADE THE INCREDIBLE TAZ ANIMATIC! HOLY SHIT, YOUR WORK IS INCREDIBLE.
YOU MADE ME CRY
AND THE TEARS BLURRED MY VISION SO I COULDN'T SEE ALL THE ART
WHICH ONE IS CRUELER
“You lived so much longer than I thought you were going to..”
*hears the first few notes of the song* WELL GREAT I'M ALREADY CRYING
A progression of me listening to this
"Hell yeah TAZ animatic."
"Oh great HONEYBEE. IM GONNA CRY I KNOW IT."
"Yep I'm gonna cry."
"This wedding is sOH MY GOD."
And then I'm sobbing for the rest of this video.
Wow I didn't expect to see it become the whole adventure. But it did and that was amazing! You really showed well on how happy Magnus and Julia were. And them fighting Cailan together!!
yes!! i always loved the idea of Magnus and Julia being the passionate young love birds that co-lead and inspired the rebellion. its such a sweet song im glad u liked it :)

It also really made appreciate Julia's and Magnus' relationship more. You can really see their love here. It feels so real and intense and... I just love this. Thank you.
When she turned to ash in his arms I almost lost it. Oof. This...this hit me, in a major way.
MY LONGEST OOF EVER (10 HOURS)
Favorite song + favorite podcast = tears everywhere
I love the part where the silhouette of Julia gets further away when the others of the gang come in because that really shows how he can think about his grief less because he has friends to pass the time with. Beautiful
the way this is 7 years old is so insane to me
I just want to thank you for introducing me to Steam Powered Giraffe. They've been a blessing to my life is so many ways over the past few months and it's all thanks to this absolutely BEAUTIFUL video that makes me cry every time I watch it
This has and will always make me cry. The song choice and the softness of the art is just heartbreakingly good
The line “I was waiting for you all my life” to him being followed by a ghost... incredible
i had literally just been thinking about this a few days ago and it popped up on my recommended.... i love crying everywhere all over the place
That transition stole my car then hit me with it... 10/10 would watch again its fantastic
*tears streaming down my face* h-hmmm
oh lordt you really did make me cry all over again huh
i just realized that in order to have julia's wedding with him he would have, in fact, had to search the ashes and god that really hurts
The way I was addicted to this video at the height of my TAZ phase was insane. Still come back to it to this shit is criminally good
*eyes start to blur from tears* nIcE ArT pAl.
This punched me so hard in the gut my stomach hurts
I dont even go here but damned if I'm not in tears
This is so very good and makes me feel some very strong emotions. You managed to convey the pure love between these two so well. I think my favourite bit is when we see them dancing in the house through the windows as the day wears on. Just... oh my goodness this is so excellent and touches my heart.
This is absolutely phenomenal. I cannot understand why it has so little recognition? This yanked a whole lot of unexpected emotion and I cannot thank you enough for that.
havent watched this in a couple months but it still made me cry the same, this is my fave taz animatic by far
im suing you for all your loot for making me cry
Coming back to rewatch this 5 years later and it still makes me cry! Amazing job!
I cannot physically comprehend how amazing this fandom is. Everybody in it is just so talented, and it makes me so happy that people still love and cherish every little aspect of this mind-boggling tale even though the brothers have moved on to Amnesty. I love Amnesty as well, but I simply don't know if I'll ever be able to find attachment like this again. Thank you for this wonderful addition.
M... magnus rushes in 😭😭😭
I tried to sing along but halfway thru my voice was choking too much lol kudos to you picking a very suiting song and drawing basically a frame per beat hot damn mad respect.
I return to this like twice a year and sob my eyes out
oh that transition was like instatears
beautifully done though
This video rocks me to my core. Seriously. I've watched three times already (twice today), and still just as beautiful and impactful as the first time. Your animation style and cuts, as well as your presentation of his story are just amazing. This is one of the most beautiful things I've ever watched.
im so happy u like it so much !! thank u !! u//o//u
Yes two of my favorite thing, SPG and TAZ in the same amazing animation
THIS HURTS REAL GOOD
it is goddamn CRIMINAL how few views this has. fuckin beautiful idea and perfectly executed, Magnus' story perfectly fits this odd cheery but also melancholic tune to a T. Thanks for posting!
I cried on three different occasions during this, my HEART
Literally destroyed me thank you so much for making this
Oh man... I really cried at this.... The song was so sweet and so perfect! I also really love Magnus and Julia's designs... I can't really say much else because I'm so teary right now D:
aww well im happy u enjoyed it !!
"I was waiting for you all my life" BROKE me 2:24
Also the bear and the honeybee reference is not lost on me
WHO GAVE YOU THE RIGHT
this is one of my favourite songs ever and,,i was sobbing uncontrollably pretty much from the get-go, this is such a good animatic ,
i haven't listened to taz but man... this hurts. brilliantly done :)
Hey, do you remember the chair that was infused with lavender? Yeah, lavender helps babies to sleep so Julia was probably preggo
Yep, that hurts
That proposal seemed so Magnus. Like he didn't even have a ring he just rushed to his knee it was so sweet
anything having to do with their post-death reunion never fails to make me cry (ACTUAL TEARS) and this is definitely not an exception. the fact that it was the whole story made it all the more powerful. really amazing job
I constantly come back to this animatic. It's literally one of my all time favorites. The transition from the wedding to Julia's death kills me everytime. There's such a great sense of emotion throughout.

hey this is my favorite animatic for anything literally ever????? i love your forever and ever
Your sense of storytelling is absolutely incredible!!! It means so freaking much to have a piece of art move me to tears, because it hits so hard, and this piece DEFINITELY accomplished that. Your art style is so sweet, and the transitions were flawless, and the whole piece is so beautifully connected to the music. Absolutely incredible work!!!!
The fact that he was calm enough to be able to forget Governor Kaylin hits me every time
This is so incredible, how come I haven’t found it until now! Your art is so beautiful, I cried from joy at the end
Okay I know it's been nearly three years at this point since it was made, but I only just now saw this video and I'm just.. Floored? I think is the right word? This song already makes me terribly emotional, but the beautiful storytelling you do with the music is utterly breathtaking.

Thank you so much for making this, it honestly put me in tears, still crying as I write this in fact.
Magnus' story is always the one that brings the most tears to my eye
This is the third time this show has made me cry... THIS IS SO GOOD AAAAAAAAAHAHHWHHHYYY
Don't really listen to SPG and haven't been onto TAZ in years but I return to this animatic at least once every 3 month for the last 6 years. Makes me cry everytime
There isn’t a hetero couple I love more than Julia and Magnus. They’re so strong and good and even after not listening to the podcast as a whole for over the years at this point, they still get to me
I made it without crying until the end, you got me when Kravitz dropped off Magnus on the island, truly a wonderful animatic
this is so perfect. ive known this song a long time and i just. i dont know why but this animatic feels so good and real.
this is somehow one of the compliments that rlly struck me the most like. thank you so much
im. so glad i could do that for you. bc your animatic did the same to me like. it just made me pause for a moment. lmao anyways you're welcome
A reminder that I cant listen to this song anymore without bawling my eyes out, even after three years. I'd consider that a success on your front.
same
when the music started i knew i recognized it and it hit just before the screen said what it was. im definitely abt to cry
it makes me cry everytime I watch it! god I love it
ive watched this so many times and its still the perfect video for when i need a good cry
Gods damn...right in the feels...
Someone has to make sure Travis has seen this!
Wow. I just found all your animatics, and just watched this twice in a row. Cried harder the second time (out loud, blubbering, freaking out my dogs).

This is such a beautiful tribute to them it honestly brought me to tears! I can't express how well you depicted all of the key moments in Magnus and Julia's lives together!
And I'm crying all over again. Your art is so simple, and yet that almost makes it even more heartbreaking. Their love story should've been simple. It was adorable, even if they faced adversity every step of the way. You did such a great job, and I love it.

Oh, thank you so much for making me realize that if he had her ring when he died then, yes, he must have searched the rubble of his home. Found her body? Her ashes? Her... thanks. I needed to picture that and cry forever.
Goodnight ):
i started crying at 2:48 and now i'm full-on sobbing

This is so gorgeous. I think my favorite part is how you illustrated Julia's ghost. I'm crying and it's all your fault. Good job 👍
This whole thing is so gorgeous. I cant even describe it. I get chills every time I watch it.
Sobbing at work thank u so much
I'm never going to be able to listen to this song again without sobbing. This was beautiful 💜
you should be on the animated show team this is incredible your visual storytelling ability is amazing
This breaks my heart every time i watch it and i can't stop watching it.
I'm going to be completely honest here this jut made me bawl my eyes out, you did a fantastic job
okay i’m usually a mess with animatics but hoo boy you really did me in with this i’ve got tears running down my face
I held tears to the last few seconds, this song is really important to me. thank you for combining it with my fav podcast it was Amazing.
i know this is a two year old video but i just started bawling like bawling bawling my fingers are sliding on my keyboard bc i cried on all the keys and i literally am losing it i cant believe youve done this
This is incredibly well done. It’s so sweet and makes me cry.
Also this is the most beautiful song I've ever heard
Dammit. Just got past the episode with the temporal chalice and there is a decent amount of spoilers that I have no context for but I'm still crying and I so very much hope that what you did at the end with Magnus dying of old age and being with her is a thing! I hope it's cannon and I'm not crying, you're crying!
Man ur making me cry like I did when I listened to the actual part this came from holy shit
Cool, 2:20 wrecked me! Thanks!! I am distraught
I'm sending this to my friend after he finishes Balance... wish him luck. I've mostly gotten over Magnus's death, but I tear up sometimes. I also drew a picture of two honey jars, inspired by this animatic for my mom's birthday.
