Here it is: the third Q&A with over 2 hours of stuff. There's a lot of things to discover, new early reveals of some future characters, a lot of animations, a lot of cool things. Enjoy!
man in the world of online fandoms nowadays, its so nice to see a creator treat stuff like shipping art and re designs in fan art just so normally theres no fanfare, theres no hate, just treating like all the other stuff and i think thats the best way to go about it
"Do not be competitive in the world of animation and have fun making your projects." Amen to that, caríssimo! Everyone has a story that they'd like to share, nowadays you can learn how to animate and do it for free. This is probably the best Q&A I've seen overall, the fact you took time to reply to A LOT of questions and doing so by animating your characters replying to the questions, to pamper your audience rightfully so, to work the whole thing with scenebuilding on this 'feature lenght' video, editing...this deserves a good watch, it's entertaining and informative of your perspective of things. Amazing work once more!
ITS HAPPENING!!!! OHHHH GOD ITS HAPPENING!! I love you blackimus lmao if you couldnt tell. your story making skills are INSANE, hope you have a nice week! edit: oh my god i love the energy and jokes in this video, good shit.
1:26:20 NOOOOO THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT XD That was a pretty fun QnA. Big thanks for answering my questions. I do wish the best of luck on your two projects, can't wait to see them 💕
When I saw my questions I literally jumped and screamed. Especially in 37:57 like my heart just dropped and my hands were shaking like crazy oh my goodness. THANK YOU FOR THIS. this feels so surreal, literally taking deep breaths this means the world to me. Sobbing and throwing up. you did such a good job with this. Thank you Blackimus 🩷🩷
After seeing all the lovely fanart people have made on both of your series, I can say without a doubt that if this series were ever to hit the mainstream... *Jumpsuit would definitely become a Tumblr sexyman* and I don't even use Tumblr, honest Seriously though, I found your channel a couple years ago through a reaction from Wrath2501 and have been loving the Scratched Universe ever since. I am excited and more than willing to wait for future installments. As an aspiring creator/writer, I can understand so many of the grievances and also struggles it takes to do these kinds of passion projects solo. It is a shame that for every supportive commenter on your videos, they are always people who are too impatient or ignorant to understand just how much heart and soul is put into what you create because you love to do it. Your videos and the universes you have crafted are amazing and very inspiring. And you have a damn good way with words, you are like a poet when it comes to delivering those moments of *shit just got real.* It goes without saying, but you deserve so much credit for what you put out for those willing to watch. The kind of niche you fulfill is one that I feel is one that is far too overlooked/underrated when it comes to series nowadays. There is SO much more I could say about how much I love your content but this comment is long enough as it is. Just, thank you for your hard work and wishing you well on whatever comes next. Du bist megageil!
finally got around to watching this with my friends, really loved learning some more details about TSU, especially the VAC related answers, i find them super interesting. cool to learn that foster is inspired by the MTF, i definitely can hear it in his voice. the answer about how the logic in the universe being scratched was so god damn funny; truly peak writing. im super looking forward to whatever comes next, and im especially looking forward to the next qna, these are always fun :). thanks again for everything you make, i swear to god man you deserve so many more subs and views; especially considering it's all just you making these incredible stories! hope you have a great rest of your day if you read all of this :D
This was a HUGE one. Amazed you found the time to answer all these questions and still include little animations here and there. It was also nice to see my question included; either a yes or no would've been an interesting answer regardless! I found distorted blackimus very funny, but that's a given. I'm also delighted at the amount of love TSU has been getting from some really talented artists, and I'm sure it feels nice to have a visual representation of people's appreciation for your work. I didn't see mine, but honestly there's a lot of fanart to keep track of (and that's a good thing!) so I know you didn't mean anything by it. Overall It's been really great seeing this series grow and I patiently await more from you.
Thank you for featuring my fanart 😭😭😭. Never have i ever been squealed to get featured. I had plans to draw more of the reenas. And designing more of them in limbo form~ stress got to me. Sigh~ But anyway! Good job for this q+a.. gosh.. almost 2hours?! Maaaaaan, please give me your patience. 🫶. Good luck with those projects~
First, thank you for answering my questions 💚 Second.. you litterally made me tear up for the last question.. i did not expected it at all, that touched me deeply 💚 I'm really proud of you for your improvement and all that followed after, i'm glad i could of been there to support you and always will be, keep the great work ! Me and my cast are very thankful for your words and looking forward to do more in the future, as for how i'm doing, it goes up and down really, but i try to keep it positive ^^ This right here really help boosting it 💚 With that said, I would hope to play some game with you at some point and no doesn't have to be a video of any kind lmao, just hanging out ^^ And giving you some time to breath will the animation work and stuff. Thank you again friend, from the bottom of my heart, stay awesome and never change~ 💚
Wyld, you are absolutely welcome my friend. The stuff that happened in your videos, I felt it. I can relate to that in certain ways, but I fully understand your situation! I really have considered hanging out and playing some games with you since you enjoy games I enjoy, which is really damn awesome. Several times actually. The only problem in this is more of my introverted mind being all "NAH NAH!". But I feel this will go away. Hanging out and playing would be awesome though! Anyways, stay safe, man! All of you guys!
This is probably the best Q&A video ever conceived. The amount of questions you answered, the animations with your characters, even little secrets at the fireplace. You are the man, Blackimus.
This was a great watch, with a lot of interesting insights about your production and how you approach your content. I appreciate Terge more after you answered my question; in hindsight, the idea of him not being immune to change holds true as early as Episode 6 Part 2. He’s warmed up to Jumpsuit by now even with his apprehensions, and that’s really nice of him. I’ve said it before over on the _TSU_ Wiki, but Heavy Guy’s speech in “Smoke and Mirrors” Part 2 is a philosophy I strive to follow in my day-to-day, and I can’t thank you enough for it. I only have a parasocial perspective, but you strike me as a kind person with a good head on their shoulders. Keep up the good work, and keep being you. B-)
Recorded the reaction. You're unfortunately only getting an hour and 5 min of it because the walkers chose to silence me... AGAIN. Ughhhh the joys of working on a shitty laptop. Anywho, I'm glad to be a part of such a wonderful community with an attentive creator at the head of it! I'm glad to see my question and fanart! For something cut off my video at the end, I wanted to say thank you... AGAIN. You know I already gave you the sad little thank you paragraph on twitter but I cannot say it enough to you. Thank you so much for all the work and everything you do, B. I can't wait to create more for the community and for you. It's one of my worst fears to be an annoyance to you and what not. I hope to be a beacon of light right next to you with my content for you, and I extend my services to you for anything! My phone is better than my computer 9 times out of 10. lol
You're super welcome, Queen! People like you help me, and I help you out of respect. I'm sorry about the Walkers being annoying, I'll try asking Commander next time, but he probably won't listen to me because he's "The Commander"... Anyway, thank you for everything!
@@Blackimus I don't think commy listens to anyone but himself but its worth a shot- LOL Of course! Im glad to be here with you! You're very welcome! My pleasure!
You’re a special kind of guy Black. I hope you get good brain chemicals for your hard work. :) I am no longer at a point where I would consider SFM, however, the creative advice is still appreciated. You got a good mentality for it!
Tbh the respect thing is REAL like respect is a huge thing in life and not a lot of ppl grasp that concept. I'm glad that Blackimus does and all of the work that's been done and all of his series and videos are amazing I hope u keep them up and don't let anyone say otherwise bc there are ppl who enjoy these videos and there are some who don't but the ppl who enjoy them will probably be here and patient for all of ur amazing projects
Capsters and Bytes of Life are now my favorite new series now C: also can't wait for more videos to release. and also have a funni distorted smile of blackimus.
Hey Blackimus , just here to say that I love your animations , and that you inspired me to make my own series ! thank you for everything dude , and your stories are amazing
Dude you have absolutely gained so much respected out of me. I've been working on a project(not in sfm) that I have been developing for less than a year now and hearing to enjoyment you have in the series that you have (especially since you do it completely by yourself)truly inspire me. Your humor, writing, storytelling and characters are such and inspiration for my project. Thank you for you service my guy
Sir! I salute you, I have tons of respect for you and your work, your willpower and enthusiasm is massive and it shows it is purely undying passion for what you love.
great answers, i also fully get the concern of letting fans sumbit oc's i can see how much extra stuff that would add and that is def a no go. It was just some curiousity Hope you continue a good day Blackimus thanks for putting my question in 👍
I woke up to a good q&a video, glad with the answer I got xD but with all the work, keep on bein awesome Blackimus, always excited to seeing you appear on my feed on any day.
Bro like seriously, your videos deserve to be in the movie theater. They are all fricking high quality, so so much better than the regular movies we seen. Keep that stuff going mate, and remember to get proper rest and sleep. We are always here to support your hardworking
Ah, can't believe I missed it when it came out... Well, watching it now! It's very interesting to learn all of these details! First off, the two new projects! Bytes of Life is probably what I'm most excited for, since I'm a primary SoL fan, but Capsters also sounds like it'll be a ton a fun! Whoa, you made a model for Beth?? Awesome! Oh, and Vixen can also see her?? Fascinating! Man, seeing all those questions about the Shattered Universe... I really should get into watching that series soon. Tiny side note, I love your different avatar models, fun stuff. It's like I'm seeing different perspectives you have on certain topics! There's a lot of interesting stuff I learned about SoL as well, very glad we got to learn all of this! One of them was Wendie's role in the pizzeria, which I honestly assumed wasn't a public one since he's, well, a bare endo. But Chuck E. Cheese also did like to showcase their animatronic tech, so it's not as odd as one would think. Plus, maybe him being a robot is his mascot character! Also, nice to see he's a fellow Halloween lover! And it was really fun to hear about everyone's costumes and roles during the spooky festivities! As a small side point, just because it was a very important and serious part of the video - your reasoning for not wanting to add OCs and that sorta thing is extremely understandable and valid. Not only it can be very detracting to what's already happening on screen, it's also a lot of work and it'd be enabling annoying folks that want to push themselves into artists and creators' lives. ZÉ BOB! À grande e à portuguesa, carago! Hahahahaha! 1:16:21 - MY COMMENT! I'm very thankful for your answers, it explained a lot, especially about Wendie. I do hope we get to learn a bit more about him, the entity within him, and his Redemption form, but take all the time you need finding the right approach! Regarding Pluto's development along the AU, yeah, I did expect we'd learn about them through him talking about it rather than flashbacks. It's how we've been learning many things about the AU so far (at least excluding flashbacks to moments still within the timeframe of SoL, like the Redemption forms' testing or Vixen's experiences with the 'Reenas), and it honestly made these moments feel a lot more personal. I still remember Barry talking about his prior life to the Withereds, and the sounds of the wind and the whistling birds even made me tear up a bit. It was a very beautiful moment to me. Finally, regarding the guards, yeah, very understandable. Finding unique voices for them is probably gonna be tough (tho I enjoyed Ethan and Barry's voices, and the idea of Mike being mute is kinda funny to me), but I think I also know what you mean regarding the issues with their models (Barry's cap comes to mind lol). So yeah, just like with Wendie, take your time finding the right angle, I'm just really glad to hear this was something you did consider.
A big thank you Blackimus a really big thank you for not only answering my question but also adding my fan art in your showcase I’m honest I was not expecting that you really made my day and give me more of a reason to keep drawing thank you so much so so much thank you 😊. You made something worthwhile and your work and you bless you and keep up the amazing work you do take care
I wholeheartedly understand your stance on PvE vs PvP, as yours directly mirrors my own. The way I view it, a challenge programmed into the game is more satisfying to overcome than navigating a fluctuating mess of uncontrollable variables constantly spiking and dropping not only the win-ability but the playability of a given session. Stomping an overly easy set of players or getting stomped by the sweatiest of tryhards impossible to ever kill, especially back-to-back or even within the same game round, is more frustrating than anything. I can also understand why people asking or offering to pay to insert their OCs into your work can become irksome... even if one of my current works-in-progress is actively asking for such volunteers. ^^; Your projects are yours, and you have every right to craft them however you want with whatever characters, tools, or what-have-you that you feel the project needs to succeed. The one thing that kind of disappointed me was hearing that you're not much of a reader. I might be an amateur animator (some might say beyond amateur...), but I consider my writings competent at bare minimum. If you pardon the self-promotion, I have a large-scale story in the works partially based in TF2 lore. Like your works, there's an interpretation of TF2's game mechanics expressed within, this case involving each player's cast of nine mercenaries living under the same roof and sending out one man at a time to answer company quotas (my particular group mostly performing what you would call scrapping duty). The main overall story follows a slew of original characters derived from Kingdom Hearts's Organization XIII power sets (singular magic specialty, summon-able weapon, personalized minion variety) and forged from more franchises than just TF2. If that interests you at all (and if you find the time/motivation to read any of it), I'm more than willing to link you to the chapters I have posted. Or I could link you to my discord and we can talk shop there. Either way, keep up the good work across the board, both with your current series'-in-progress and your series'-yet-to-be[-submitted]; I'll be here eagerly awaiting them.
I feel like you gotta chill on the people that ask spoiler-esque questions, sometimes they might not realise they're spoilers and some are probably just curious kids. Reacting in the ways you did is, while understandable probably a lil strong, things like that are always gonna get asked so its just easier to ignore them, and newcomers to the channel might get a negative perception of you as a result of those. I don't mean to hate, just looking from a more logical standpoint, love TSU - take your time on making them masterpieces mate and I wish you only the best.

blackimus thanks for making a awsome series! it realy got me true some hard times. i love to watch the story you put up for us the viewers to watch! i hope you grow more populiar on yt!
I can relate. As a single guy, doing animations and all that stuff alone is sometimes tough and takes a long time. Will looking forward for your future projects!
49:35 huh, I wonder who that is In all seriousness this was a really satisfying Q&A to watch. Your series is really inspiring from how original and creative it is. I’ll say it’s even inspired me to keep going on some of my animations like it had for so many others I also think your point in not getting competitive is really good advice, in my experiences I’ve only found negative results in most form’s competition… especially in animations sake. So it’s nice to see someone spreading advice about it Once again thank you for all the work you’ve put into over the years, I look forward to see more of you in the future
@Blackimus, That was a shame, I don't see my comments on your video maybe next time. I truly appreciate the decisions you make, and I am here to offer you my support, inspiration, and valuable advice for our future. I'm eager for the next episodes or series from your channel. Looking forward to meeting you and Thank you! 🙂
Loved the Q&A, some really interesting questions were answered, and some more posed by the vaguer answers~. I was a bit late getting into TSU so couldn’t submit a question in time, but one I found a bit interesting was what was KIA doing in the Finger Weapons server in Episode 4? He clearly wasn’t interested in the match, and he seemed caught off guard the Distorted showed up there, so I don’t think he was waiting for them. So why was he there?
TSU is a massive inspiration for me. The simple concept but with ideas that expand it to make it a great story. It’s inspired me to do my own stories, although I do need to improve on my stories. Can’t wait for future TSU Videos.
i love everyone's questions in the Q&A #3 it was amazing and i love it and also you are great imagination for your ideas, i hope you have a wonderful year.😁👍👍
I can't stop watching this video bucause its so beautiful your voice your animations memes etc so amazing You are The Best SFM and Blender animator I did ever seen, I hope i will continue your series ♥
Blackimus Can you please please PLEASE! do a small animation and full interaction of where Kia and Heavy meet Cindy and the rest of Amalie’s crew it would be a really cool interaction I feel especially Ashe and Kia and Heavy and Flint seeing Ashe and Kia having an Argument of who’s better fighter would be comedic gold and I can see Heavy and Flint getting along pretty well thank and keep up the great work on your animation can’t wait to see what you do next
Man from the bottom of my heart, you make the best series man I love scratching first from the very first episode that was a very first thing I watch of you series and my God I love it dude if you made a movie of this, I would literally watch that 100 times over Look man don’t let anyone blame you or whatever people say about you man you’re great don’t overwork yourself. I know I’ve done that multiple times myself and I’ve worked on a few things myself, so you don’t mess with that man but all counts free man I’m happy that you’ve done well Please man hope you have a great day and make good man don’t work yourself. I love you good people I will work themselves to death don’t do that and the words of Stanley Excelsior never give up your charm man you deserve what you’ve gotten done with these years and don’t think I won’t stop watching your series. Keep working on working on.
Blackimus is 1 of the best animation youtubers ive seen in a very very long time. ofc there are a lot of others who are very talented but make content that isnt really for me. since basicly my whole life is based around playing tf2 i was very happy and exited to watch the first ep. of scratched universe and since the first ep. i always was waiting patiently for the next ep. you my friend deserve a lot more attention becouse you put so much love and work into your projects keep up thise amazing work and dont forget dont put up content in a way that your please only the audience always remember your a human not a roboter and need to take care of your self the creator always comes first becouse without you my friend blackimus we wouldn have such a great time watching your amazing work. much love take care and i hope your doing very good having such a nice community
16:59 Holy shit, I never expected to appear in a video! I'm glad to hear your answer from this. Although, there can be various options when it comes to RVC. such as combining various voices into one and making it combined voice that sounds very natural. For example making Scout sound very old, but still having the same voice. Edit: Also I just realized. Flint sounds like Roadhog from Overwatch.
Amazing QnA! Wish I knew about the ask questions part earlier so I could re-ask a question I did on a previous one, but it's fine plus all the ones in the video were good! I always like the responses you give to each question as each one feels lively and well thought, especially from the characters (teddy ones are awesome). Can't wait to see upcoming videos for TSU and the other upcoming projects, and of course as you know to take as much time need for them. Btw if u see this, at 10:33 I'm just curious on why you said you would vow not to ever animate fight scenes again if they were inspired by Crash.
I gotta be honest. I absolutely love TSU but capsters sounds like an amazing escape from the 80s tier grimdark and tension. My heart can only take so much.
every now and again i just have a thought of jumpsuit being a stand user due to a few things: 1 stands being connected by fate, 2 silent and always caries a lighter around, 3 a little bit above the "average" mercenary, so was thinking he had a pyro stand but seeing how you said you are currently planning on adding 1 more stand user i doubt it but just something i noticed. Love ya work hope you bests of days
This is the greatest Q&A of this month for me but alas this comment wo probably be seen by many but if you do please continue watching this series and if your Blackimus then please continue, it is hard but from me, you got my graditute.
damn bro you are the best sfm animator ever you deserve more than million subscribers i wanted to thank you for animations you make for people you are true legend Blackimus
I remember when first time I saw your channel,I was looking for a Trickstab video's,But when I saw first part of SU-(Scratched Universe) I absolutely was in mood to watch this,and then I understand how good that I find then your channel
24:20 You already had Fixer mention Gray and how he didnt like Defect bots, so technically speaking unless you retcon that interaction, I like to think the Mann brothers are at least cannon
5:46 hey it's me! thanks for having my question in the video Blackimus, you're awesome ^^ Edit: also something I thought as an idea for the "Distorted animals" concept. mainly Distorted Dogs, they could work as the Eyeless Dogs in Lethal Company. the Distortion causes them to become blind, and will only attack if they hear sound, I think the Walkers would send packs of Dogs out at once, to better make sure their enemies are completely wiped out
Since your inspiration comes from games i think you should try Don't Escape series for example Don't Escape 4 story is amazing maybe you can get some ideas from it would love to see it from TSU. I would like to see a hidden character in TSU that is like some maniac who knew this would happened (the incident like alien invasion, stand users, monoculus, etc.). He has some habit to experiment some weird being having some power or anything. He want to get all those powers for himself. If you want to, maybe put some clue for his appearance or not showing him up just make him more anonymous. If you seeing this, thank you for reading it.
I noticed theres a lot of people being confused with the first episode of the series lol. I can see why, but honestly i like it, it was nice watching something so random and weird, that out of nowhere turned into a serious plot
HI BLACKI UH IM THE. GUY FROM TUMBLR AND MY. ART WAS SHOWCASED HERE AND. HOLY SHIT TYSM FOR. SHOWING IT HERE???????? MY HANDS ARE SHAKING YOU'RE ONE OF MY FAVORITE CREATORS AND. GGGAH THATS REALLY OLD ART ILL BE MAKING MORE THOUGH BUT. GAAAAH
Huh.. i like the small animations when questions were asked to the specific characters i do not see that often..well.. not at all so this was cool to see and so many funny moments 😂
