You forget how brutal the first siege would've been. It was cultivators killing innocent people that had nothing to do with Sunshot. The fact you didn't gloss over that hurts but was also so good how you portrayed it. And Lan Zhan being one of both A-Yuan's and Wei Wuxian's favorite things...😭
Aah, thank you!!! Yeah, and the fact that some of those were probably characters we otherwise know and love... aaah, I'm glad you liked it! Also I know right!! They're a family 🥺
OMG the transition from happy with a tinge of sad to full on agnst was wonderful, the part where it showed yanli, and wwx in burial mounds killed me ty
Ah, one of the things that always, */always/* gets me: The Wen Remnants. I don't think I can ever forget the Cultivation Word for what they did. On a funnier note: Lmao not A-Yuan singing about not forgetting the positive things and then he just forgot everything 💀 OMXL RUclips HAS THE EMOJI FEATURE NOW TOO HAHA NICE
When the song sped up I got chills down my spine. It just feels so much more frantic and desperate. Like it’s becoming harder for him to convince himself that everything is okay b
I’m absolutely speechless, this is one of my favorite depictions of the First Siege of the Burial Mounds ever! This is so incredible, my heart broke but in the best way
Aaah, you have no idea how happy this made me! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I don't think anyone ever forgets the fact that all of the Wen Remnants were killed, but I've never seen anyone really go deep into how bloody that must have been. And I know that A-Yuan was asleep with a fever in canon, but I just thought... what if he wasn't?? And thus this animatic was born 😭😭
In the last three days, I've spent the total of three hours staring at the screen with this video on repeat, and who knows how much longer having it opened on the side while doing other things. I'm obsessed with this animatic a completely normal amount. And don't you dare say anything about it being ugly! It's one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. The colours are beautiful, the movements are sooo cool (I especially enjoy the hair, it's so simple yet so effective!), the facial expressions are all so amazing and conveys so many emotions, the way you used this cheerful song to show the total devastation of the siege? The way a-Yuan sings it to himself, trying to not fall apart? Just damn, it's a masterpiece in every way and I'm in love
Oh my gosh!! Beautiful video?? More like beautiful comment! Seriously, this made my day, your words are so freaking sweet. 🥺❤ And I'm so glad you liked the use of such a happy song for such a depressing event--that's exactly what I was going for! Aahh, seriously, thank you so much! This animatic feels so long ago to me, it's so cool to see new people finding it and taking enjoyment from it. That's one of the best parts of art, even if I dislike the stuff I make sometime. Hope you have a lovely day!
I want to cry. This is so sad. I love it, but it hurts. The thought of WWX's pain sometimes is really unbearable. But still, he was capable of give a lot od love and a bit of happiness to A-Yuan and the Wen. There really is no one like him. Thank you for sharing🖤
AHHHH ABSOLUTE HEARTBREAK. The song choice is so appropriate, it's like the last veneer of happiness hiding the impending tragedy. AND THEN THE TRAGEDY HITS and it's still the happy song and it's just this horribly sad dissonance, BROOOOO that destroyed me. A-Yuan hiding and thinking about WWX being there to comfort him and then the end shot of just heartbroken LWJ discovering him made me tear up for real. Your sense of timing is impeccable and your art is wonderful, thank you very much for sharing this!! I AM IN LOVE WITH IT
AAAAAH DUDE YOUR COMMENT MADE MY DAY!! Thank you so so so so so SO much for this!! All of those feelings are exactly the ones I was trying to invoke, and I'm so glad I succeeded!! YES this song feels like such a weird fit?? But it actually works so well?? I think you're talking about the "Confidence" animatic-- which, yes, absolutely gave me the idea of SoM x MDZS! Originally, I really wanted to make a "Maria" animatic for WWX, but then I started thinking about this one and I absolutely did not have the stamina for two animatics... WHO KNOWS, MAYBE ONE DAY. Anyways, thanks again!!
@@takingasterix omg you are so right, Maria fits WWX so well too. From LWJ's perspective, the line "how do you make her stay and listen to all you say" has so many heartbreaking possibilities lol. Please know if you ever find the time and motivation for it, you will at least have an audience of a very enthusiastic me :p
@@roserocksrapidly nooooo literally, and the part where it's like "when I'm with her, I'm confused, out of focus and bemused, and i never know exactly where i am" is so perfect for a teenage LWJ who doesn't know what the heck he's feeling. aah, thanks!! that actually does make me a little more likely to do it, so good to know :D
@@roserocksrapidly I mean… The sound of music & MDZS both feature a cute love story, and trying to escape brutality (SoM has the family flee WW2 Austria) and protect the innocent, so yeah they’re oddly connected
Oh yeah one of the two members of the main couple in both stories are grieving as well. … and the couple features one cheerful troublemaker, and one who is overly concerned about rules… this is getting too similar lmao
me who already knows what's going to happen: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH ;O; ;O; ;O; but seriously you took such a sweet song and made it fit in such horrifying ways with clear connections to the imagery, I applaud you so much GOD seeing jiang cheng show up for so much of the favorite things only for it to end with him leading the charge is so so painful, a-yuan literally mouthing the words of the song, the bee sting shot, the final shot where lwj finds a-yuan but it's like he's just an imaginary good thing after all that horrible stuff is just aarrcCHGGGGGGGGG
AAAAAHHhhh these are my favorite types of comments, dissecting and analyzing-- I'm so glad people catch onto the same things I was trying to portray!! and thank you so much omg, you're too sweet 😭🥺🥺 thanks for the lovely comment!!
OH MY GOSH I ALSO WANTED TO DO AN ANIMATIC FOR "MARIA" FROM THE SOUND OF MUSIC BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WORKED WELL FOR WWX. Never ended up doing it but it is weird how well some songs work for MDZS. Thank youu!!!!
OH MY GOF???? OD MY GID??? I see, so you've chosen violence against me specifically 😂 no, but seriously, this is so skillfully done?? like. the title saying tw blood. I was like. what?? but oh god. this hurts. just the dicotomy between the cheerful music vs the horrifying things happening on screen, the subversion of expectations that normally come w this song!!!! AUGHHHH and god the pained look on WWXs face as he tries to be happy for LSZ but remembers all his favorite things are in the past, dead and gone..... fUCK aaaaaaanyway, I love this so so much!! thank you for the gorgeous art and emotional pain this fine morning, I'm gonna share this w all the MDZS fans I know!
OMG that's so sweet!! I love getting these in-depth reviews because like! YES! that's exactly what I was going for, I'm so glad you get it and like it!! poor WWX honestly D': BUT YES THANK YOU FOR THE AMAZING COMMENT!! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!!!
Oooof the color transitioning from yellow to red at 1:02 and as the music starts growing tenser hurts... ;-; Also the pheasants at 0:23 are so well done O///O
😵 ... this kind of killed me a little? God it was painful 😅😢 starting out cute but already sad with all the nostalgia ... and then! It was quite horrifying to see what was going on with the song as A-Yuan trying to think about something happy 😭 Well done, you evil, evil mastermind! Edit: now I'm kinda scarred for life with this song, and at the moment in my country there's a commercial that uses it on tv all the time 🥲
Aaaaaah, that's exactly what I was going for!! :DD Although I'm very sorry 😳😳 I feel the same way though, I can't see this song any other way now either! We can suffer together lol 😭
When it changed from Wei Ying reminding himself of happy things and teaching A-Yuan the same to A-Yuan actually doing it 😭😭
The pain, the pain 😭😭
You forget how brutal the first siege would've been. It was cultivators killing innocent people that had nothing to do with Sunshot. The fact you didn't gloss over that hurts but was also so good how you portrayed it.
And Lan Zhan being one of both A-Yuan's and Wei Wuxian's favorite things...😭
Aah, thank you!!! Yeah, and the fact that some of those were probably characters we otherwise know and love... aaah, I'm glad you liked it!
Also I know right!! They're a family 🥺
The lyric "when the dog bites" being associated with Wei Ying hurts me to my (golden) core
🥺🥺 I'm glad you caught on to that
OMG the transition from happy with a tinge of sad to full on agnst was wonderful, the part where it showed yanli, and wwx in burial mounds killed me ty
AAAAH thank you so, so much!! Yes, that's absolutely what I was aiming for!!
Glad you’re still alive tho 😂
Aw man My heart hurts for Wei Ying but also can't help but smile as he sings this song for A Yuan and then....the siege happens
Exactly, exactly...😭😭
Ah, one of the things that always, */always/* gets me: The Wen Remnants. I don't think I can ever forget the Cultivation Word for what they did.
On a funnier note: Lmao not A-Yuan singing about not forgetting the positive things and then he just forgot everything 💀
OMXL RUclips HAS THE EMOJI FEATURE NOW TOO HAHA NICE
Noooo literally sameee, I'm glad you share my sentiment. 😭😭
ALSO SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP LMAO I DIDN'T EVEN REALIZE THAT. That's so ironic-
When the song sped up I got chills down my spine. It just feels so much more frantic and desperate. Like it’s becoming harder for him to convince himself that everything is okay b
exactly what I was going for!! :D Thanks so much!!
Holy crap, I thought this would just be a cute little thing and now I’m crying.
awww 🥺
Sobbing both a-yuan and wei ying deserve the world
😭i know right

I'm I the only one who thinks that this song sounds like 7 rings?
I'm pretty sure the melody was directly lifted from the sound of music, but i could be wrong
ariana took an excerpt and most inspiration from this song
Awwwww
Increíble!!!
THank you!!
