I think that this is about growing up specifically as a woman. Like it’s about a woman’s relationship with her femininity as she grows older and matures. So you’re not really that far off, considering that most young women’s first idols of femininity are their mother.
it seems to have something to do with Adam and eve and the fall and being Reborn. her mother was wrapped in a snake, she had her period the curse from eve and the fall of man. and her father is apart of some cult subtle mentioning of world religions , (has resentment towards god?). some flood occurs cause all are evil and she is left alone and reborn. though I don't really know and don't want it to be tied to religion but you can make your deductions.
I won’t spell out the symbolism, but I can clarify what literally happens: Mother is dead and girl is left with Dad. KKK knock at Dad’s door. Girl sees Matador on TV, is enamored. Matador and Dad know each other and chat over dinner; girl gets puberty. Some time later, Matador comes by and sees Dad is asleep. Matador and Girl bang. Dad is upset and puts on KKK outfit to attend rally. Girl has mixed feelings about banging Matador. Matador gets killed by his bull. Dad is at KKK stuff. Mother is angry. 40 days and 40 nights of rain. Girl inherits the earth.
I feel that her bunny suit represents her physical innocence, and the hat represents her mental innocence. When she leaves the bunny suit behind, it shows she has lost her virginity, or her physical innocence. She is no longer a pure child, she has matured physically. But she has not yet lost the bunny hat. When the guy dies, she loses her hat. It shows she has lost her mental innocence, now experiencing a death as a woman, she fully realizes and understands death, and remembers her mother dying. She is no longer pure of body or mind. Very rough transition. But she’s there now, an adult woman. Like coming out of a violent storm, the sun is shining. The flowers are growing. The water is calm. Everything is ok. For now.
I watched this in 2x speed by accident the first few times and it made the video feel so much more hectic. Like this girls life was flashing before my eyes
Ishtiaque Walid no i didn’t mean that. i’m talking about when it’s used for something that’s not sexual. nudity was sexual here, therefore getting the video demonetized.
A N The only thing I understood was the biblical reference to the massive flood that wiped everything out because evil and only the good survived (in this case the rabbit i think)
In my interpretation, she’s faced with this great loss in her early childhood, the death of her mother. She’s growing up, surrounded by racism, which is obviously scary and confusing. She watches a bullfighter, who is also her dads friend. She looks up to him. He conquers huge fighting bulls, and she admires his strength. The dad and the bullfighter drink, and then she gets her period, which is very scary for her as she is oblivious to what being a woman is like, cuz of her deceased mother. She has to grow up on her own, washing the blood off of her own bunny suit. Which I think represents her innocence. As she is scrubbing off the blood (which i think is a good symbolism for her having to admit that she is becoming a woman and realizing this as her bunny suit is off) she sees the bullfighter, doing drugs in the bathroom with her. She is also still not wearing the bunny suit, which I think symbolizes her further recognizing that she is physically no longer a child. He then notices her in the tub, and smirks. Further implying she has begun the horrible unguided journey of a young black girls over-sexualization. She continues to grow up, unaware of the negativity and horrible things the bullfighter brings, still looking up to him as tho he treats her normally. As her dad sleeps on the couch, the bullfighter comes home. She waves. The bullfighter looks around, and then proceeds to rape her. He looks around because he has been waiting for an opportunity to fully take advantage of her as he pleases. She is pressured, she admires him, she gives in. She hates it. But she feels as though this is what woman-good is. This is all she’s known. She doesn’t want to, she is not ready, but he does it anyway. She is ruined, she has confirmed to herself that this is her reality, and you cannot run from it. (I will not mention the father in the KKK as I am not a POC and I cannot interpret this for myself as I do not have the necessary background knowledge or experiences to fully capture the meaning behind this) as she is watching the bullfighter, broken and changed forever, he dies. That same nose bleed she once saw as a child she now sees as a woman. She saw it when the idea of becoming mature first hit her. The man that she idolized. A hint of something sinister. Now she sees that blood again, from the bull and the nose bleed. It reminds her of what he once was to her. How he hurt her. How he changed her for worse. She is shocked. She is traumatized. The only man she felt that treated her well, what she thought was normal due to constant manipulation and sexualization is now dead. She doesn’t know how to feel. She wants him dead. But the part of her still holds on. The very thing that she admires him for (fighting big scary bulls and his strength and charisma) is what killed him. Her world has crumbled apart. The spirit of her mother feels her daughters pain. She becomes angry. Angry at what the world has done to her baby, angry that she wasn’t there to teach her what being a woman really was. Angry that those people ruined her. She floods the house. Floods everything. Including the daughter, who looks to her mother for guidance. The mother drowns her own daughter, and brings her to a new land. She has no memory. She has no recollection. She has a chance to start over and find herself as a woman with no one able to ruin it for her.
OOOOK SO i edited this storyline because some of you guys pitched in on parts of the story i missed :) heres the edited version (if i still missed something please let me know!): It starts with a little girl, and the bunny costume represents childhood innocence. She lost her mother and puts flowers on her grave She looks through a peephole and sees the real world: full of hate. She was exposed to it at a young age. It then cuts to a scene of her watching tv. She is watching tv, and she likes the male in the red jacket. Im assuming its supposed to represent a childhood celebrity crush. The man in the red jacket and the father are at the table. Bunny is too. She has her period and it represents her becoming a woman and growing up. Bunny goes and washes her costume in the tub (trying to represent holding on to childhood). She sees the man snorting drugs. Cut to a few years later, where she is grown up but still innocent. The man walks in through the door and she waves. The man sees her dad sleeping, so the man goes upstairs and uses this to his advantage. When she takes the bunny costume off, it represents loosing her innocence that she held onto for so long. It looks consensual, but she regrets it in the end. She becomes depressed. While all that is happening, we found out that her dad is contributing all the hate in the world. While she is watching tv, she sees her partner get killed. the house starts to flood, and when she wakes up on the beach, it represents a new beginning. (like noahs ark in the bible) that is how i saw it anyways :) we all interpret art in different ways, so if you think im way off thats ok too! another great animation! edit: im pretty sure floatland has something to do with this animation too but idk
Angellove0420 I thought the same thing but I also thought the flooding was kinda like the story of Noah’s ark in the Bible except there was no ark and everyone but her died
My interpretation: The statue of the mother is being consumed by a snake -the snake to me represents she was fighting with the knowledge evil in the world and also shedding of skin-transformation/shedding of innocence (like the suit shedding) The daughter is young and innocent and looks up to the people around her She sees evil outside but doesn’t think anything like that would ever be in her life She admires the bull fighter and sees him and is sexually attracted to him represented by getting her period- starting to lose her innocence- She then sees him snorting cocaine which is scary and confusing Years pass and even tho it’s not obviously stated I think she’s raped by her fathers friend and her dad has an idea about it- she was crying before he started touching her and she completely sheds her innocence (besides her headpiece)- her dad is “sleeping” as it happens and then opens one eye which represents to me seeing it but ignoring it and then goes off to contribute evil to the world. After this- looking at what she used to look at nothing is the same, instead of the brave bullfighter she used to see she sees that scary drug abusing man she saw in the bathroom and wants to see him dead- which represents her now seeing the evils rooted in everyone and everything in this adult world She begins drowning in sadness and depression and eventually takes her own life like her mother and looks exactly like her as the flowers she left by her mother’s grave grow around her and she’s left with blissful death- the last bit of innocence (her headpiece) is off her which represents death being the last part of her innocence taken away Or she becomes sad and depressed but eventually her crying stops and she becomes a woman just like her mom
Great analogy but I always thought that she was fascinated and looked up to the bullfighter Also Jesus Christ I thought becoming a woman was if a girl turned 18 or whatever.
@@_KUSH1_ Differentiating a woman can be different, based on background/culture . Some consider females women when they: get their period, turn 15 or 16 or 18, or whatever major life event they experience. It can very based on culture, traditions, etc
I feel like at the end when she washes up on the beach it's like she's in the beginning of the game in floatland. like she's the main character and this is her past life that she has no memory of.
My theory is that this represents the bunny girl’s development into maturity. She sees the statue of her dead mother on the beach which represents a female maturity and her lack of female guidance in her life. The KKK members represents the society that she’s in, and it’s conservative views. Her fathers’s friend, the bull fighter, acts as the only other male figure in her life besides her father, and lives life on the edge, as shown by his crack addiction and his profession. The color red is commonly represented as sexual maturity and the dangers that come with it. When the bunny girl gets her period she essentially goes through that threshold and gains the attention of the bullfighter, whom gropes her while the father sleeps. Her taking off her pink bunny suit, is her removing her innocence; and dawning her natural female form. The bullfighter fondles her and the girl cries, for she’s still only a girl and not yet emotionally capable of this kind of relationship. The father notices what happens and joins the KKK since he can’t handle his daughter’s maturity and adopts their conservative views as well. The bullfighter leaves shortly after without doing any more to the girl, and the girl sits naked realizing that things aren’t the same due to her maturity. (Her father joining KKK, her being naked). The girl then views the bullfighter on TV and he ends up dying. This represents how his perverse actions ended up finally pushing him off that edge and coming back to haunt him. The girl sees this and her grief allows for her to reach the emotional threshold of maturity. The flood afterwards is a common example of cleansing. The house, her mother statue, the KKK, everything is swept away leaving the girl alone on the beach. The flowers are a common symbol of purity, and her hair tied up reinforces this image. The girl had finally became a woman.
Kkk isn't conservative. While this might be seen as semantics, the KKK, while awful, was put together by southern Democrats to keep gays, Catholics, blacks, and the Irish in check and promote WASP( white Anglo Saxon Protestant) values. Conservative values don't, and never have nor will, align with the KKK. Conservatives believe strongly in family and community and morals, but I've never met an actual conservative who was bigoted in the way that the KKK is. Sincerely, A random libertarian wierdo
Void Race just because someone is a conservative doesn't mean they're racist..... some conservatives are racist but so are some democrats. racism isn't a conservative value or something
alexandra galici I live in Florida and the beach is an absolute cluster fuck of tourists, residents, and immigrants alike. Like Mad Max but with more sand and beach umbrellas.
The girl went through many messed up things because she did not have a mother figure that could give her support (when she had her period for the first time), guidance (having sex with the bullfighter), and affection (her dad leaving to attend KKK) since an early age.
For some reason I watch these videos whenever I feel depressed, exhausted, or just need to get my mind off of my own problems. The animation is great and so it’s the style, not to mention the choices of color.
I think this might be about how teens deal with emotional trauma, she had a dead mom and fairly absent parent (seen by the way he paid close to no attention to her, and was sleeping in one part of the video). the character goes from little bunny child to close to grown woman, a big event thats playing into this being her getting a period, soon she feels the need to rebel, she matures, she regrets and gets the feeling of drowning. On top of all her personal problens she also seems to be part of a minority group (?) Making her life more stressfull(?) Im also not really sure about the dad living a double life ir something like that (Edit) she also seems to grow up in a world if violence, yet anither thing that forces her to mature fast (Double edit) theres a lot of deeper symbolism but a lot of it is nationally political, and i cant really figure that out since 1. Im not american 2. Im fairly young and not really into politics
There's hundreds of comments I'll never be able to read through them all but from the interpretations I have read I haven't seen anyone say this so I guess I will. During the beginning we see her drop flowers near a statue that says mother, but im not convinced it is hers, why would they create such a big statue instead of a normal headstone? I feel as if this mother is mother nature. I think that because at the end we see her wash up onto a shore much like the one the mother statue was on and she looks alot like her, and with her presence flowers begin to grow around her. This probably has a meaning behind it, like how many overlooked idols have dark and haunted pasts. It also shows that through all her abuse and her becoming mother at the end, the abuse which happened to one girl will continue over and over to countless other young girls.
Does this art style have a particular name? If so, I’d be more than glad if you could tell me what it is called! Thank you! Btw fantastic video, glad you aren’t dead
@alexandra galici Art styles having names are actually very helpful. Having categories allows us to group very similar styles so they are easier to find and have no intention of taking away from the original artist.
@alexandra galici The problem with naming a style after someone is that others with very similar styles will be called art theifs and attacked. Grouping styles can lead to a less stressful situation for artists. Aside from that, they really don't mind it at all.
alexandra galici Oh wow this topic that I accidentally opened could be a video all by itself. Also thank you for sharing your thoughts on this as well.
Out of all vewn videos, this is one I can kind of decipher. To me personally, this is pretty clearly about loss of innocence (especially from childhood).
i think this may be a loose representation of growing up in the chaos of life and the injust things that ultimately drown bunnyrabbit's thoughts - until she comes to terms with her freed hair by the beach, a calming location
Wanting to be someone else is part of the problem. It's harmful to both you and the other person. I'm sure you're a lot cooler than you think. Good luck
Okay so my interpretation of this is how Black kids are forced to grow up fast due to our environment(Hate groups such as the KKK, etc, and how the majority of Black girls have most likely been assaulted before they turned 18). (Something like that, I don’t know the exact statistic). idk about the last part of the video though lol
Her suit represents innocence her body part of her suit was ruined when once she developed she was taken advantage of and her bunny hood represents her mental innocence and how she continued to try to keep it in a cruel world
00:21 That’s how bladder goes when she’s got her period. When she took off her bunny onesie at the end, she now becomes a woman. In true beauty, she’s a pure, normal child. In the beginning of the video, she reminds that her mother is dead. Her innocence was a crime and that case is true, true Innocence. Sexualization was for black girls, but true beauty how she depends on. Hurting makes me feel bad. She recognizes that she was hurt, and she’s Innocent.
so many comments saying how this animation is inappropriate, can you stop discussing that and instead appreciate the art or at least review the themes the video includes? idk man
Literally, like I wanted to find some analysis comments and while scrolling, I keep seeing "what did I just watch" or "what is this" or wtv and it's so annoying like. this video has a meaning to it, and yet ppl over react or act dramatic
" to start from whats good you must refresh all that is bad ". I really love how all crap went downhill when she got her period cause it was like that for me too. I also feel as if she died and got reborn into a better start of life and that this would have been a great past story to start a religion with . " if you hurt all , sexually , physically , and/or mentally the world will refresh back to eve . "
I just turned 19 a few days ago. I've been alone my whole life. I say "alone" instead of "single" because it has not been by choice. No one I've ever wanted has ever wanted me back. That said, About 5 months ago, my friend and I convinced myself to get on a dating app, just to experiment. We put together the few pictures of me that existed and composed a cute but quirky profile. After days of scrolling and a couple chats, I happened across an account that was so dark and artful; all his interests were akin to mine. It resonated with me so much that I mustered up the courage to send him a message. I said "Hi! It seems like we have a lot in common" or something else to that effect. To my great delight, he responded, asking "How so?" And I could tell that it seemed as though I was lying, because my account so scantily reflected my true character. I then enumerated our similar interests, and from there, very fruitful conversations ensued. Over the next few days, we discussed philosophy, our own views, art, etc. over various mediums. A few times (two to be exact), we even spoke on the phone. I did my best to keep up with his amazing character. As we would talk, I eventually felt deeply and sincerely that I was in love. Not because I was just so attracted to him, but because we shared very similar perspectives that I had never encountered in another person. Because of my admiration for how brilliant and beautiful this human was in seemingly every way. Because I had never met someone this special, this amazing, nor this relatable. I found his every action prodigiously charming, funny, and/or endearing. It was probably just a series of regular conversations to him- mundane interactions even. To me, it elicited a sensation beyond words. At work, I started fantasizing a relationship with him. Finally, someone had an interest in me. Finally, there was someone wonderful for me to love, who loves me back. I loved being in love. Simply loving him filled me with rapture. This was the beginning of my shame. In a couple more days, his responses dwindled dramatically. He'd gone from sending "good morning" texts and enthusiastically bonding over sharing music, to scarcely responding to my texts at all. I didn't consciously realize it at the time, but he was ghosting me. It was over by the week's end. Probably not wanting to accept the truth, I told myself he might be going through something awful, that he might intend to harm himself. Amplifying my shame, I eventually resorted to the social media platform on which we followed each other. I found that, by this point, he had unfollowed me. Still, I asked him for an explanation and if we could still be friends. He said "of course" and provided a rationale that was definitely a lie. He'd "got a new phone" and "didn't remember [my] number", he said. I "stopped responding to [his] messages", he said. And, like a fool who was just ecstatic that he would still talk to me, I apologized. Perhaps I was genuinely sick with love and truly felt awful at the notion of having hurt him. I then remembered that he'd unfollowed me, however, and made the decision to just put us both out of our misery by saying "you don't have to sustain things with me if you don't want to". And those were the last words between us. My misery, of course, would continue. You see, since that day 5 months ago, he has not left my mind. Literally not a day goes by that I don't think of him. I hated him for a moment- for being so charming, making me fall in love with him, then breaking my heart. I tried to forget him. But how could I? He is my first and only love. Yes, to this day, I love him. He is still a beautiful person who is entitled to his true feelings. I don't doubt that the fashion in which he rejected me was intended to spare my own feelings, as opposed to a direct dismissal. Unfortunately, I would have rathered he be honest. I'll never know if he fell in love with another or if he just didn't want me, but I am heart-broken regardless. Occasionally, I listen to the new music he adds to his Spotify and cry. This further increases my shame. Since then, I have tried to distract myself with crushes, most notably a guy with whom I worked at the time. I did truly like this new guy, but part of it of course was forced. I felt the need to convince my friends and myself that I'd moved on and that there was hope for me yet. This crush got nowhere. He had a girlfriend and- surprise, surprise- did not reciprocate my feelings. By this point I was exhausted from trying to pursue romance. This is especially in light of how bad I have always been at chasing it and how good it always is at eluding me. Fast-forward to a couple months later at my current job: someone actually expressed interest in me. Much to my chagrin but not at all surprise, he turned out to be something of a creep. Which brings us to today. Another man, this one of probably 50-60 years, has shown an interest in me since the day I started working at my current job. Today I was somewhat alone with him and it made me uncomfortable, but I found myself even considering allowing it to persist. Why? For the attention? A potential, deign I to say, sugar daddy? Something, anything interesting? I came home today feeling disgusting. I took a shower and realized I don't feel the same when naked anymore. I wonder if I am asexual or just resent men and sex for resenting me first. I wonder whether all of me hates part of me or if part of me hates all of me. I recently resorted to piercing myself and sucking the blood, just to feel something. Anything. It's not much, but it does serve to calm me. So many times, I've thought about ending my stupid, pathetic life. Never really intending to, just contemplating it. One thing is for sure, however; this beautiful channel helps me feel something. It grants relief to which I can turn when I feel overwhelmed and alone. Thank you to anyone who may venture to read all this, and thank you, Vewn.
@@casryellThank you for saying so, I didn't think anyone would really read my comment... Today is actually my 20th birthday and I just had the first conversation with someone who seems great. We were actually supposed to meet up today, but I thought it'd be better to take it slow. And I'm glad I did, because it turns out that simple phone call made all the difference. Not that it takes a guy to be happy, though; I recently thought back to this comment and considered removing it because... I'm doing so much better now. I've found new purpose in life and want to keep on living, and feel good in my skin. In just a year I've gotten so much perspective that I can hardly believe where I was in that original comment. Thank you again, @casryell and Vewn. I hope this can help someone like it helped me.
i don't really like seeing hate comments about this like this youtuber is expressing themselves and you need to be supportive of how they express theirselves
i understand this on a personal level. its been years and i still haven’t met the ending scene. im still “drowning” in that flood. it’s been a long time since i haven’t been able to “breathe”. this isn’t r/im14andthisisdeep. this is i’m 16 and this isn’t supposed to be deep. that’s straight up fucking gaslighting rape, sexual assault, or molestation. and thing is, my brain has shut off many memories as a response to being subjected to particular events for a prolonged period of time. that’s it’s way of protecting itself. that means i don’t get flashbacks. it didn’t manifest in frequent nightmares (although that in no way means there aren’t any); instead of that incident, nightmares have been about loved ones and people i trust doing that to me. i can only remember brief and vague memories. my brain refuses to remember anything else. in fact, i didn’t even respond to it at the time. i had no feelings surrounding it except for feeling estranged towards it. i didn’t want to acknowledge it. it wasn’t until i finally acknowledged and realized the extent of the situation that it hit me at full force. trauma survivors don’t react the way people expect them to. we don’t always respond right away. it can take up to weeks, months, and years. my parents found out from the mental hospital. i still feel resentful to them for it; they made it real again. something i didn’t want to be known had made itself known against my knowledge, and from someone else, at that. i dont want justice. i want peace. i don’t want revenge. i want peace. whenever it’s mentioned, i feel ashamed, humiliated, vulnerable and exposed. there are stories of survivors “not letting it get to them, not letting it stop them”, but that’s not the case for most. in reality, it destroys people. they may lash out at others. they may become self-destructive, or it could be directed outwards. or both. it can ruin their entire perspective of the world inside of them and around them. how could they just let this go? it not only affects those survivors, but the people around them. it’s painful all around. i can’t get rid of what happened. people who haven’t experienced such trauma say it doesn’t define you, but it’s all i know. of course it doesn’t *define* me, but it’s part of me just as much as all these manifested feelings are part of me. it brought on extreme difficulty in almost (or every) aspect of my life. no survivor has the same response to trauma as what is stereotyped, and i don’t want people to expect for us to move on from something they misunderstand. i don’t think anybody who hasn’t undergone such trauma could ever understand how trauma like this can make you feel. anyways... this video touches on a lot of topics, but the one surrounding sexuality touches me the most. it gave me a good sob. the message here was portrayed beautifully. i LOVE the symbolisms and allegories that vewn uses in her videos. very long comment i’m aware. over-sharing is also a symptom of trauma unfortunately
No one deserves to die because they have an addiction, he was a horrible person, and it shows that he took advantage of her, but he should be punished, not killed.
I think its either rape or she did give permission but we don't see it, I think that because The bunny girl was watching him on tv and was interested in what he was doing or him? Well i think what he was doing because she was smaller/a child. Then once she got a bit bigger/older they was hanging out kinda at the diner and she got her period? So thats a sign of puberty or teen age years Then after she washed her clothes she waved at him and they touched each other a bit But it could have been rape because she was crying blood? And we didn't see her give permission so maybe Besides she also was upset about him dying?( idk)
This.. Gave me a feeling I cannot explain. But. I love it. I love the colors and the pov. The turn and possibly being able to relate to this kinda quakes me from the inside out. Ive watched this too many times, and it helps me cope with things? Its strange
I remember watching this some years ago when I was younger 5 or 6 years old and now I’m just in a prestigious lack of knowledge here Im not even 15 This person is not afraid of getting demonetized not one bit
I cant stop thinking about what i wanna do in the future and i wanna change it but ignore it, i just wanna die and live in a void with the only emotions of joy, peace and comfort
i like how the mother statue holds a snake(like the serpent from the story of adam n eve), maybe to represent having to deal with taking up another person’s “sin”. without a mother, the bunny girl is compelled to take up her moms role as a “woman”, possibly as a way of understanding or getting closer to her. when the big flood happens(maybe a reference to noah’s ark), bunny has her hood removed and her hair is in the same style as her mother’s(scene where they are sitting at the table). to me this could either represent adulthood(loss of innocence=no bunny suit) or even regaining innocence, with the bunny suit being a shield from vulnerability and having it disappear. bunny is completely alone at the end, and able to start her life from scratch.
I want a nice quiet part two with calm music and the girls hand brushing over wheat like in that movie gladiator when he dies and reunites with his family. Then at the end you see the girl stop at a beautiful field of flowers and she smiles knowing shes home.
Id like to add my 2 cents in that i dont believe the statue is of Eve but rather of Lilith which is supposed the first real ever woman that was banished by god cause she was too forward.
Sabrías decirme el tipo de animación que está haciendo y como lo consigue? No he encontrado ningún nombre concreto o técnica específica. Esas líneas ondulantes para dar importancia a un objeto o en la mayoría de los casos a una persona, mientras el fondo no se mueve me alucina y no hablar sobre la abstracción y el efecto psicodelico de sus vídeos.
This made me feel better about my abuse from the past, usually I just cry when it’s me stumped but it made me feel calm somehow it’s never happened before and I felt relive
The animations are great but you also have amazing music taste. Nice to see someone using big black in an age where every young person seems to be drowning in a blob of bedroom pop.
@@catherine1776 Big Black is legendary. Check out Michael Azerrad's book, Our Band Could Be Your Life if you haven't. Has a pretty detailed chapter on Big Black.
