Wow... this is absolutely incredible. outstanding. Thank you so much for making this, your animation skills paired with the music are absolutely mental, this made me emotional haha. One of the best animatics I've seen ever
I love how a character as old as Foolish was proven wrong by a character as young as Tommy. It just shows that despite their different experiences are, they still have a lot to learn
It's not about life experience. You don't need life experience to understand life. It's common sense. Experience doesn't do shit. That's why most people never learn. They do the same shit or get the wrong idea/mindset. Experience doesn't have anything to do with that. If you're smart you don't need experience to understand things.
@@firewolf4824 that's fair but experience helps, their point still stands about foolish still being able to learn from tommy even with their age differences
Holy crap. Tommy had so much more development than I previously thought. He really has evolved from a person with one-dimensional goals to a person with his own moral philosophies, innate values and wisdom that all match up with his personality. None of this feels forced or wedged into Tommy’s arc, it’s a natural and organic progression of what he’s been through. And that’s fuckin beautiful.
The soft music just brings the audio together, and the art is PHENOMENAL! And it’s fully colored?! Wow, this has to be one of the best animatics I’ve seen yet!
Ironically he's wrong. Peace shouldn't be made just cuz it's an option. The reason why they kept losing is because they kept trying to make peace with an awful person who wanted to kill them. Dream made it clear that he'd never let them be independent. They should've fought back, but Wilbur decided to be a fucking pacifist. And then got mad when he lost.
really makes you think about technoblade's "violence is the only universal language".. technoblade didn't want to talk. for tommy, it's more like "any language is universal, if people only bothered to learn it" i think. they're like perfect foils for each other
Absolutely outstanding. The composition is clearly well thought out, the colours and temperatures, the duality between wilbur and Tommy when he says that everyone messes up, the imagery to add to the poignancy of Tommy's dialogue - masterfully made. Some of your best stuff yet!
What is your favorite Dream SMP moment? I'd love to know! :D I'm so happy to have discovered the Dream SMP. It's been so much fun following the story, and it has inspired me so much.
First off: animation - BEAUTIFUL. And for favorite moments: its hard to choose but like omg here are a bunch 1) right before exile, where Dream lashes out at Tommy, and when Tubbo goes aganst what they had discussed and exiled him, those moments where so just ✨MMM✨ 2) then a few in-exile moments, and the season two finale being my favorite, like just almost all of that, the Tubbo goodbye, the reVeal of Dream's doing and tge community house, OMG dont even get me started on the crimeboys interaction😭 some more favorties would be like Sam Nook or Puffy and Tommy interactions, prison stuff, when Tommy had to hide in a box in Techno's cabin whilst Techno (and then Ghostbur) tries to cover for him. It was pretty funny. More recently, the red banquet and Puffy watching Foolish die :( tieing into Quackity lore and when he told Foolish he let him die. Then Quackity vs. Wilbur+Tommy lore! Tommy hugging Ranboo after trying to do 'exposure therapy' on himself :( AAAAAA pretty much anything crimeboys and alliumduo if I'm gomma be honest. Pffff but theres also just a lot of moments I love. kind of got carried away- WHOOPS jdjdjdjdhhd but again your animations are✨💖✨💖💖 that dance of death one I couldnt stop freaking out over😫
holy hell this was amazing, ToK, I have never felt so emotional during an animation...my favorite part of the dream smp would probably be back when schlatt and quackity worked on manburg even though it felt sad, I still enjoyed their friendship while it lasted. (: thank you for blessing us with this animation my dude
The shot changing from Wilbur's face to Tommy's as he says "Everyone's messes up. You learn the most from your mistakes." is such a little thing but amazing. This whole thing is AMAZING.
“Ya know the phrase treat others the way you want to be treated? Well Wilbur disregarded that rule, he decided he wanted to be treated poorly so he’d treat everyone poorly” “Why do u think that?” “Sometimes I don’t even know myself” Straight in the feels, C!tommy character development is so good
"I think Wilbur is just being a bad guy, and that's okay, we are all bad guys, everyone messes up. You learn the most from your mistakes" "It's not about chances, it's about not giving up on the people you care about" I'm actually crying Man, the character development And the fact that he's saying all this to Foolish considering his story makes it even more beautiful How had I never heard this speech before? Congratulations, you did an absolutely outstanding job, definitely one of my new favorite pieces to come out of this fandom
This speech is one of my all-time favorites of Tommy’s. What I think I love the most about this speech is that it really reflects not only how Tommy sees Wilbur and everything that went down but also displays more clearly who he truly is inside to others. Tommy’s had plenty to say before, and he’s said it, but sometimes his childish manner of speaking and difficulty with communicating has caused the meaningful things he HAS said before to become lost in translation, making not only other characters in the story brush Tommy off or wrongly perceive something he’s said, but also the viewers themselves to miss the deeper meaning behind Tommy’s usual speech patterns and brash attitude. This speech is one of the rare times Tommy is effectively communicating his thoughts with someone as well as revealing a side to him he doesn’t often bare to people. He’s not yelling or rambling or speaking in a manner that is barely understandable to those who has no prior knowledge to what he’s referring to; he’s quiet and calm and speaking with his heart instead of his mouth. Despite his usual demeanor and being a child, viewers and characters alike forget that Tommy fought in wars and went through stuff most adults don’t ever experience. He carries a lot of wisdom and kindness that many miss because they only see what’s on the surface, what Tommy lets people see. And, in the end, despite the very different mannerism in which Tommy delivers this speech, it’s still very clearly Tommy, showed most pointedly when Tommy says, “Thanks, I guess there’s more to you, too.” He does this with a tone of someone not only unused to genuinely taking compliments but as a person awkwardly (and somewhat reluctantly) trying to give a positive response back but just ending up sounding petulant and sarcastic (a very Tommy vibe👌).
That "Now, Wilbur was a good man... He's a good man deep inside, okay? But he's been a bad guy for a very long time, and I know there's some good in him" It hurt me more than I thought...
"I don't believe in second chances. I just believe that everyone has some good in them. A little good in them. It's not about chances. It's about not giving up on the people you care about" In this moment, Tommy is possibly the wisest person I've ever seen and he's earned so much respect from me
This is so beautiful, with how the story is told through Tommy, and how the lighting and shading just contribute so well to the nostalgic atmosphere alongside moments of uncertainly. Just excellent
The frame with quackity taking his shirt of and everyone's reaction is just like the base of what the dream smp is. Its like the relationship between them all
I love how this scene was completely impromptu, can't believe this was the same stream as the sea cucumber one. You did so well, everything about this is beautiful! The composition, the choice of colors, just everything
this is like one of my favorite smp moments, its showing how tommy's character grew and his point of view on things but also ti showed foolish the story of L'manburg, love it also love the shroud moment too
this animation made me realise that i think like this. "I believe everyone's got a little bit of good in them." "It's not about chances. it's about making sure you don't give up on the people you care about." this hits too hard and (depending on how you look at it, i suppose) makes me think about what Wilbur did. i'm sad now
This is for sure the best animation I've seen about Tommy lore, not only because it was a good piece of the lore but the music, the colors and the cute style you have made it perfect. Keep up 👍
i cant believe tommy improvised this entire scene...like genuinely the lines paired with the raw emotion in his voice makes this feel like a scene from a film. This is probably one of the best animations I've seen, you did outstanding!
OH MY WORD WHEN FOOLISH SAID THAT MAYBE HE WAS WEONG ABOUT TOMMY- all of this was amazing, and heartbreaking, but that really freaking got me. Wow. Ouch. Also when he said some people aren’t strong enough and they stop talking. Nil, that hit a really personal nerve lol. This just goes to show how far Tommy has come. His character development is just amazing.
Bro… I’m tearing up. The colors are gorgeous and capture the mood of each scene incredibly well. The music choice was brilliant and I absolutely love your art style. The composition too… really just everything was really well done. I loved this particular moment on stream because so much of Dream smp is action. This is probably why I loved Wilbur’s writing so much because there were times where it was just 15 minutes of reflection and monologue. In those moments we were able to take a break, and the characters also took a break. The fact that this dialogue isn’t even from Tommy’s stream really makes it feel that time on the Dream smp is still moving. It’s just that we’re so used to action that it feels like it’s stopped for awhile now, but not everyday of a character has to feel like chaos. This animatic perfectly captures that feeling of calm yet melancholy.
MAN. This is such a different take from the usual animatics you'd see in this fandom.. Usually you'd see the VERY angsty and dramatic parts of the lore animated, and y'know sometimes that can be repetitive imo. So it's so nice to have a animatic like these that focus on the calm yet very meaningful dialogues of these characters and their development!! I hope to see more of these
THIS IS SO GOOOOOOD everything from the pacing to the scene choices and colors- love it, so pretty and bittersweet/nostalgic/sad and it all flows together super well like a scene from a show
I still get that feeling watching these videos, even all these years later. I can't describe it, but that's okay, because I know I'm not alone. I guess those of us still here are like the ghosts of a ghost town, huh? Alway drifting around, can't seem to leave.
Genuinely, this is my new favorite animatic. I'm mind blown that I haven't heard this audio before. Tommy is incredible at what he does, and Foolish did great bouncing off of Tommy's thoughts to weave the story. Thank you for bringing such a tender moment to life! (Don't mind me showing this to anyone who will listen)
omg i remember this stream foolish listed all the 'things' tommy had been, like the hero, the villain ect. and the ACTING man oml this is way to good to be a mc rp istg gonna make me cry.
Hey, I'm an ex Dream SMP fan and I loved this animation since I was on my younger years. And this is the final time I'm watching this. As for the ex Dream SMP fans like me, it has been a ride, fellas. Goodbye. 💙 (Goodbye to L'manberg as well.)
This hits so much harder with the most recent lore from Wilbur. Like, Tommy wishes Wilbur would apologize, hopes that he’ll say sorry, and tries to stick by him even with his disappointment. He just wants proof that Wilbur really does still have good in him. That he still cares
This is a really good summary of the major lmanberg-based events on the smp, told from the pov of one of the main characters, and expressed in beautiful and outstanding imagery
This speech is one of my favourite speeches in all of the Dream SMP and it's amazing to see it given the attention is deserves. It's was amazing thank you.
What makes this even more lovely is that it just happened out of nowhere in the stream. Everything up until that point was Foolish and Tommy hanging out and being silly when all of a sudden, BAM! LORE. Harkens back to the foundations of Dream Smp as off the cuff role play. This animatic is beautiful and I'm so glad someone made one of this monologue!
watching this video is so emotional, sometimes what's gone is gone and there is no going back. No matter if it is your nation, your friends or even your precious memory
Oh my god this was absolutely incredible!! The music was such a perfect choice along with the soft color scheme-I never even knew this moment happened before but this was such a beautiful way to discover it's existence :)
So I just realised that at 1:02 you can see the flame in wilburs eyes flickering! That’s such an awesome little detail seriously this is a beautiful animatic!
I’d honestly love to see this type of more casual, storytelling PMV more often. It isn’t so focused on the dramatic background music but instead on the actual audio and storyline, which is just as interesting to watch. In this video in particular, the color palette goes so well with the atmosphere and the shading is amazing. This is beautiful.
It's nice to imagine the life the characters are living in the server. The little moments like these that we don't see, somewhere, Wilbur is with Tommy selling burgers and laughing, Ranboo is with Tubbo reading Michael a bedtime story, Karl is with Sapnap in Kinoko Kingdom preparing for battle against dream and treasuring the last moments he has with the people he loves, Slimecicle is with Quackity, sharing advice, wisdom and laughs and Tommy and Foolish are sharing a rare moment over the crater of the home they once called theirs. Finally understanding each other underneath the sunset, grief and tattered flags. The moments we don't see are the most beautiful.
that was the most mature and most POSITIVE and good hearted reasoning I've heard from anyone in a LONG time, especially from a character like Tommy. normally I believe in this way of thinking, but its hard to see others say things like this, and well, while teh SMP is more lore, and I dont know if tommy actually thinks that way, if he did, makes him a LOT better than a LOT of people in this world. this was wholesome. I love it.
This is literally incredible…I’m freaking speechless…each cut scene and flashback and the way you used the audio?! I’m just like…every single scene is absolutely gorgeous!! AND YOUR CHARACTER DESIGNS ARE INCREDIBLE OMFG
Sobbing rn holy cow, The lighting in this is so well done and the progression of the moments shown with the story telling vibe is so sweet and melancholic at the same time. Very nostalgic,and very-VERY well done👏
I'm CRYING This is one my favorite scene that's underrated and I'm so happy you made it so great I love every detail, every cut, everything you put in this It's really emotional I love it THANK YOU SO MUCH
wow, this made me cry and i wasn’t expecting to. the music choice was so bittersweet paired with tommy’s speech, which i think is one of the best looks into his character in one clip. and of course the art is amazing, it wouldn’t bring the same emotions without it. excellent work!!
This is absolutely gorgeous oh my gosh and it touches so well in Tommy’s relationship with Wilbur at the moment and the colors are incredible!! Amazing job!
THANK GOD SOMEONE ANIMATED THIS this dialogue from tommy is SO SO important to his character and so many people missed it. This was so lovely thank you
I love this moment between tommy and foolish, I'm so glad you decided to make an animatic of it. Its beautiful. I just want to say that your animatic of the election was the first animatic after sadists that i watched in the fandom and I'm so glad to have watched your videos along the way.
I think about this with the allegations, and all the people who just gave up on wilbur and are being awful and won't even allow him the chance to change and learn. there are people who've done worlds worse and have been able to come back stronger than they were before so why can't he? im not on either side of the situation but i agree that there's good in everyone even if just a little and anyone can change if they try
I would have never seen this beautiful moment had it not been for this equally beautiful animation. It shows so much about how Tommy has grown. You art style and character design is heartwarming and the visual storytelling is wonderful. Amazing job :))
This is one of the best paced animatics I've seen in a long time. Color palette is perfect. Shading is on point. I also love that you decided to use this conversation. Tommy talking about it later really highlights how he's grown since then. Amazing job. Thanks for existing.
THIS IS SO COOL!!!!! I love the audio it’s so freaking wholesome! I love your animation style so much it’s so smooth and really freaking pretty and like all the characters design especially Foolish is really cool! Your very VERY talented! Don’t ever forget that!! :D
Now.....how the hell...did I miss this....when the heck did this conversation happen?!?! WTF!!! This animation though is so awesome!! I love your art style and I can't wait to see what else you make!
Stellar work here. I love the linework and the colors. The style itself has a very crisp and clean feeling while the music fills it with emotion. Personally, I remember watching this stream live so it's pretty amazing to see how well you captured this moment and drew connections to so many other places on the story's timeline.
small detail that i love is how at 2:22, wilbur's wearing the varsity jacket he had on for the MCC that took place a bit before, the same skin he wore when they made the hotdog van
This is beautiful. Amazing. You portrayed everything so well and beautifully. I'm amazed by it. This is one of my all time favorite moments from streams and to see it be put in animation form is beautiful
It’s crazy how a little animation, not even five minutes long, based on a role play series in an 8-bit video game, somehow gave me such a fresh perspective in life.
this so absolutely amazing, your artstyle is beautiful and i thought you did an incredible job on this video. you captured the atmosphere and emotion very well, and i love this video so much
oh my gosh, this was super emotional. I'm glad that we got more insight into Tommy's character in this scene (I just discovered that this existed so props to Tommy for characterising himself into someone so mature; its proof that he has learnt from his experiences that hasn't been seen very often form him. I love how you've animated it; the memories just made everything very emotional :0. Not to mention the music; the innocent music to show Tommy's vulnerability about Wilbur!!! that was so cool! I loved it so much!! Thanks for making this!!
YOOOOOOO You remembered this scene!!! It's been one of my favorite moments of the server but since it was on Foolish's stream (and randomly in the middle at that) I thought everyone forgot about it. Absolutely fantastic animatic. The colors, the character designs, the music, made it all the better.
You know, people are talking about how this is a great show of character growth, and it is, but I feel the ideal of "not giving up on people you care about" has been Tommy's philosophy since day one. Tommy had learned about trying to understand his actions have consequences, and he needs to consider other people more. But I think the philosophy of "never give up on people you care about" explains ALOT if not all of his actions in the lore. Tommy wasnt always morally correct, (not the hero people say he ) or even a very aware considerate friend, but his loyalty was FIERCE in knowing who he stood by and sticking with them til the bitter end. Even when Tommy was devastated at Wilbur's spiral, he knew internally that Wilbur was going to destroy everything, (Wilbur constantly told Tommy he was going to... so im not sure why they made it seem like Wil was a traitor) Tommy never left Wil's side, even knowing he would be hurt, because he never gave up hope in that person no matter what happened. Have you ever noticed that Tommy not even once genuinely sought out revenge (to people he has loyalty about) of his own violition. It takes ALOT for Tommy to give up on people he cares about, and even with all the crap he went through he never did. When exile happened (and Tommy was manipulated to the point of thinking he was abandoned and hated by those he loved) so many people wanted Tommy to snap. They wanted him to seek justice for what happened and for him to go into a villain arc against those who wronged him, but thats just not how tommy IS. Sure Tommy was hurt, and angry with people, (he made sure they knew it when he could tell them) but Tommy only ever left everyone when he was forced to, when he didnt have another option. Even when Dream tried to force Tommy to give him his loyalty instead, it only barely worked and didnt last long as soon as Tommy recognized that Dreams loyalty was fake. Even when Techno DID take in Tommy, he offered Tommy his loyalty in exchange for Tommy's loyalty to him (which meant Tommy abandoning people he still cared about, who hurt both of them) But it didnt matter that they hurt him, Tommys mind was already made up, so the MOMENT he had the opportunity to return back to Tubbo, he took it. Now while this "never give up on people" philosophy might be admirable, it is DANGEROUS. When Tommy has decided his loyalties, it means no matter what happens, if he gets hurt, if others get hurt, he will stand by them.

its legit like, tommy: " i belive there is a little bit of good in everyone" dream: :), i am NOT a dream stan its just a fun fact
My favorite moment? Probably on Doomsday when Techno spawned the withers
The shot changing from Wilbur's face to Tommy's as he says "Everyone's messes up. You learn the most from your mistakes." is such a little thing but amazing.
This whole thing is AMAZING.
its the fact that Tommy's also learnt from his mistakes: its why he has all this wisdom :D
“Ya know the phrase treat others the way you want to be treated? Well Wilbur disregarded that rule, he decided he wanted to be treated poorly so he’d treat everyone poorly”
“Why do u think that?”
“Sometimes I don’t even know myself”

And the fact that he's saying all this to Foolish considering his story makes it even more beautiful

The fact that this dialogue isn’t even from Tommy’s stream really makes it feel that time on the Dream smp is still moving. It’s just that we’re so used to action that it feels like it’s stopped for awhile now, but not everyday of a character has to feel like chaos. This animatic perfectly captures that feeling of calm yet melancholy.
MAN. This is such a different take from the usual animatics you'd see in this fandom.. Usually you'd see the VERY angsty and dramatic parts of the lore animated, and y'know sometimes that can be repetitive imo.
So it's so nice to have a animatic like these that focus on the calm yet very meaningful dialogues of these characters and their development!! I hope to see more of these
“It’s about making sure you don’t give up on the people you care about.” damn that line hit hard
THIS IS SO GOOOOOOD
everything from the pacing to the scene choices and colors- love it, so pretty and bittersweet/nostalgic/sad and it all flows together super well like a scene from a show
I still get that feeling watching these videos, even all these years later. I can't describe it, but that's okay, because I know I'm not alone.
I guess those of us still here are like the ghosts of a ghost town, huh? Alway drifting around, can't seem to leave.
Genuinely, this is my new favorite animatic. I'm mind blown that I haven't heard this audio before. Tommy is incredible at what he does, and Foolish did great bouncing off of Tommy's thoughts to weave the story. Thank you for bringing such a tender moment to life! (Don't mind me showing this to anyone who will listen)
omg i remember this stream foolish listed all the 'things' tommy had been, like the hero, the villain ect. and the ACTING man oml this is way to good to be a mc rp istg gonna make me cry.
Hey, I'm an ex Dream SMP fan and I loved this animation since I was on my younger years. And this is the final time I'm watching this. As for the ex Dream SMP fans like me, it has been a ride, fellas. Goodbye. 💙 (Goodbye to L'manberg as well.)
This hits so much harder with the most recent lore from Wilbur. Like, Tommy wishes Wilbur would apologize, hopes that he’ll say sorry, and tries to stick by him even with his disappointment. He just wants proof that Wilbur really does still have good in him. That he still cares
0:12 I’ve never seen a castle L’Manburg, and it suits the country so well; a dictatorship masquerading as a democracy.
"You're a little more mature than I thought you would be. Maybe there is more to you, Tommy, than I thought." So wholesome 🤧
This is a really good summary of the major lmanberg-based events on the smp, told from the pov of one of the main characters, and expressed in beautiful and outstanding imagery
Tommy explained this so succinctly
This speech is one of my favourite speeches in all of the Dream SMP and it's amazing to see it given the attention is deserves. It's was amazing thank you.
What makes this even more lovely is that it just happened out of nowhere in the stream. Everything up until that point was Foolish and Tommy hanging out and being silly when all of a sudden, BAM! LORE. Harkens back to the foundations of Dream Smp as off the cuff role play. This animatic is beautiful and I'm so glad someone made one of this monologue!
watching this video is so emotional, sometimes what's gone is gone and there is no going back. No matter if it is your nation, your friends or even your precious memory
Oh my god this was absolutely incredible!! The music was such a perfect choice along with the soft color scheme-I never even knew this moment happened before but this was such a beautiful way to discover it's existence :)
So I just realised that at 1:02 you can see the flame in wilburs eyes flickering!
That’s such an awesome little detail seriously this is a beautiful animatic!
Fourth stop on my November 16th dsmp train! It's 2024 and I'm still keeping my promise. One day every year, I come back
Forever be my most favorite dsmp piece and conversation. Just gotta come back to revisit again
I’d honestly love to see this type of more casual, storytelling PMV more often. It isn’t so focused on the dramatic background music but instead on the actual audio and storyline, which is just as interesting to watch. In this video in particular, the color palette goes so well with the atmosphere and the shading is amazing. This is beautiful.
This kinda hit me in the feels LMAO
yep
mhm
It's nice to imagine the life the characters are living in the server. The little moments like these that we don't see, somewhere, Wilbur is with Tommy selling burgers and laughing, Ranboo is with Tubbo reading Michael a bedtime story, Karl is with Sapnap in Kinoko Kingdom preparing for battle against dream and treasuring the last moments he has with the people he loves, Slimecicle is with Quackity, sharing advice, wisdom and laughs and Tommy and Foolish are sharing a rare moment over the crater of the home they once called theirs. Finally understanding each other underneath the sunset, grief and tattered flags. The moments we don't see are the most beautiful.
that was the most mature and most POSITIVE and good hearted reasoning I've heard from anyone in a LONG time, especially from a character like Tommy.
normally I believe in this way of thinking, but its hard to see others say things like this, and well, while teh SMP is more lore, and I dont know if tommy actually thinks that way, if he did, makes him a LOT better than a LOT of people in this world.
this was wholesome. I love it.
This is literally incredible…I’m freaking speechless…each cut scene and flashback and the way you used the audio?! I’m just like…every single scene is absolutely gorgeous!! AND YOUR CHARACTER DESIGNS ARE INCREDIBLE OMFG
This is so beautiful.
Oh my goodness this hits so different after watching the final Wilbur lore :')
me understanding what memento means bc i watched unus annus: oh yea its big brain time
Sobbing rn holy cow,
The lighting in this is so well done and the progression of the moments shown with the story telling vibe is so sweet and melancholic at the same time. Very nostalgic,and very-VERY well done👏
I'm CRYING
This is one my favorite scene that's underrated and I'm so happy you made it so great
I love every detail, every cut, everything you put in this
It's really emotional I love it
THANK YOU SO MUCH
So messed up over “He wanted to be treated poorly, so he treated everyone else poorly” SOBBING
wow, this made me cry and i wasn’t expecting to. the music choice was so bittersweet paired with tommy’s speech, which i think is one of the best looks into his character in one clip. and of course the art is amazing, it wouldn’t bring the same emotions without it. excellent work!!
This is incredible, the lighting and expressions are on point, and combined with Tommy’s storytelling, it is just amazing. Job well done!
This is absolutely gorgeous oh my gosh and it touches so well in Tommy’s relationship with Wilbur at the moment and the colors are incredible!! Amazing job!
I'm not crying, you are! There's just something in my eye..
THANK GOD SOMEONE ANIMATED THIS this dialogue from tommy is SO SO important to his character and so many people missed it. This was so lovely thank you
I love this moment between tommy and foolish, I'm so glad you decided to make an animatic of it. Its beautiful. I just want to say that your animatic of the election was the first animatic after sadists that i watched in the fandom and I'm so glad to have watched your videos along the way.
I think about this with the allegations, and all the people who just gave up on wilbur and are being awful and won't even allow him the chance to change and learn. there are people who've done worlds worse and have been able to come back stronger than they were before so why can't he? im not on either side of the situation but i agree that there's good in everyone even if just a little and anyone can change if they try
yes!! I agree
The world needs a lot more people like you, those able to give second chances to those who need it, I agree with you as well!
*slams fists on table, crying*
cTOMMY IS THE EMOTIONAL HEART OF THE DREAM SMP
aww ima crying
(looks at comments)
like everybody's crying bruh
I've never cried at a dsmp animation before ...
I would have never seen this beautiful moment had it not been for this equally beautiful animation. It shows so much about how Tommy has grown. You art style and character design is heartwarming and the visual storytelling is wonderful. Amazing job :))
The character development for not only tommy but all those in the dream smp is incredible. They’re brilliant actors, all of them
This is one of the best paced animatics I've seen in a long time. Color palette is perfect. Shading is on point. I also love that you decided to use this conversation. Tommy talking about it later really highlights how he's grown since then.
Amazing job.
Thanks for existing.
I think this is one of the most powerful Tommy lore moments
THIS IS SO COOL!!!!! I love the audio it’s so freaking wholesome! I love your animation style so much it’s so smooth and really freaking pretty and like all the characters design especially Foolish is really cool! Your very VERY talented! Don’t ever forget that!! :D
OMG I didn't know this moment existed THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!!
WOaH! Everything about this is gorgeous. The coloring, the audio, the background music. I love it all!! Its comforting.
AGGH IM IN TEARS BRO THIS IS SO PRETTY, I LOVE YOUR ART STYLE, THE MUSIC, THE LIGHTING, AHFUFBDJCNIEJ 💛💛💛
i love the lighting it makes the art glow :]
This is as good as sad-ist, and we all know thats shes god teir
Now.....how the hell...did I miss this....when the heck did this conversation happen?!?! WTF!!!
This animation though is so awesome!! I love your art style and I can't wait to see what else you make!
I'm sorry, Tommy said this?
Mans really pulling up with one of the best speeches in the lore huh?
Stellar work here. I love the linework and the colors. The style itself has a very crisp and clean feeling while the music fills it with emotion. Personally, I remember watching this stream live so it's pretty amazing to see how well you captured this moment and drew connections to so many other places on the story's timeline.
small detail that i love is how at 2:22, wilbur's wearing the varsity jacket he had on for the MCC that took place a bit before, the same skin he wore when they made the hotdog van
That was such amazing animatic! Loved the composition, colors, and the way you draw the characters!
“You learn the most from your mistakes.” Gorgeous line.
This is beautiful. Amazing. You portrayed everything so well and beautifully. I'm amazed by it. This is one of my all time favorite moments from streams and to see it be put in animation form is beautiful
THIS IS SO LOVELY
The colors their expressions the dialogue you chose oh MY GOODDDD
This is ASTOUNDING! I absolutely love the way you compose shots and put together your work. It's super inspiring!
I really like how you included the obsidian from the destruction that happened later. I love the attention to detail!
Your art is beautiful, this is so well-drawn and edited
It’s crazy how a little animation, not even five minutes long, based on a role play series in an 8-bit video game, somehow gave me such a fresh perspective in life.
this so absolutely amazing, your artstyle is beautiful and i thought you did an incredible job on this video. you captured the atmosphere and emotion very well, and i love this video so much
omg! thank you for making this! this was one of my favorite moments, this is beautiful! again thank you so much for making this!
Are we ready to do this for Wilbur now?
ik i am
oh my gosh, this was super emotional. I'm glad that we got more insight into Tommy's character in this scene (I just discovered that this existed so props to Tommy for characterising himself into someone so mature; its proof that he has learnt from his experiences that hasn't been seen very often form him.
I love how you've animated it; the memories just made everything very emotional :0. Not to mention the music; the innocent music to show Tommy's vulnerability about Wilbur!!! that was so cool! I loved it so much!! Thanks for making this!!
This is so good
YOOOOOOO You remembered this scene!!! It's been one of my favorite moments of the server but since it was on Foolish's stream (and randomly in the middle at that) I thought everyone forgot about it. Absolutely fantastic animatic. The colors, the character designs, the music, made it all the better.
Pog
this- is probably the most amazing animatic i’ve seen since when i first saw sadist’s warriors animatic. just wow. this is beautiful
I hope will dose better
I do too
How have I not seen this scene? This is the wisest and most succinct thing Tommy has ever said. And I love it!
You know, people are talking about how this is a great show of character growth, and it is, but I feel the ideal of "not giving up on people you care about" has been Tommy's philosophy since day one.
Tommy had learned about trying to understand his actions have consequences, and he needs to consider other people more. But I think the philosophy of "never give up on people you care about" explains ALOT if not all of his actions in the lore.
Tommy wasnt always morally correct, (not the hero people say he ) or even a very aware considerate friend, but his loyalty was FIERCE in knowing who he stood by and sticking with them til the bitter end.
Even when Tommy was devastated at Wilbur's spiral, he knew internally that Wilbur was going to destroy everything, (Wilbur constantly told Tommy he was going to... so im not sure why they made it seem like Wil was a traitor) Tommy never left Wil's side, even knowing he would be hurt, because he never gave up hope in that person no matter what happened.
Have you ever noticed that Tommy not even once genuinely sought out revenge (to people he has loyalty about) of his own violition. It takes ALOT for Tommy to give up on people he cares about, and even with all the crap he went through he never did.
When exile happened (and Tommy was manipulated to the point of thinking he was abandoned and hated by those he loved) so many people wanted Tommy to snap. They wanted him to seek justice for what happened and for him to go into a villain arc against those who wronged him, but thats just not how tommy IS.
Sure Tommy was hurt, and angry with people, (he made sure they knew it when he could tell them) but Tommy only ever left everyone when he was forced to, when he didnt have another option.
Even when Dream tried to force Tommy to give him his loyalty instead, it only barely worked and didnt last long as soon as Tommy recognized that Dreams loyalty was fake.
Even when Techno DID take in Tommy, he offered Tommy his loyalty in exchange for Tommy's loyalty to him (which meant Tommy abandoning people he still cared about, who hurt both of them)
But it didnt matter that they hurt him, Tommys mind was already made up, so the MOMENT he had the opportunity to return back to Tubbo, he took it.
Now while this "never give up on people" philosophy might be admirable, it is DANGEROUS. When Tommy has decided his loyalties, it means no matter what happens, if he gets hurt, if others get hurt, he will stand by them.
THIS!!
ALL OF THIS!!!
Thank you so much for animating this scene! It's one of my favourite Tommy moments and its super underrated. Loved it! :D
