WOW. evil, but amazing. just wow. -Starting out with the nightmare (all blacked out), but with Phil sounding calm only to have the stress in his voice climb...establishing a vocal baseline to make all of the screams and despairing cries of everyone stand out all the more as the video goes on! the choices for which clips to pair back to back!: -Fit "I"m coming-!" rushing to try and make it in time, followed immediately by Baghera and Jaiden hunched over a death message...the feeling of 'I wasn't there' aaargh. -Jaiden "where is she", Flippa turning to run -A flash of Charlie looking for Flippa right in the midst of the other parents finding their lost children (purgatory). evil -How Bad holding Dapper does NOT feel triumphant in the least, in the midst of all the bent figures. -"Please don't leave again!" again, contrasting the still lost Flippa with the lost then found then about to be lost again children. brutal -"Phil do something" and then practically a flashback on Phil's part. Practically cinematic 'the last time he did something'. Mirroring the same feeling of helplessness, 'what am I supposed to do here?'. "Get OFF HER NOW!" (tallulah was slain). oh my heart. oh thats a cruel transition. adore it. -i thought it couldn't get worse, but Tallulah's code death and Phil's violent tears are immediately followed by a voice clip from Charlie "I was fighting a monster and she ran in front of it" from Tilin's death. YOU ok---triple threat on the extended clips from Phil, Bagi, and Bad. Heart wrenching performances, and then the quick cut: "NO-" "DAPPER" "-PLEASE!" replaying that little section. excellently timed. -the extended begging from Bad feels dragging and painful. it's interspersed with short clips of Charlie and Phil, but quick flashes that don't break away. Charlie standing in the dark amidst the rising code, no word but his child's name, a quiet sob from Phil. It's still feeling the same scene. Desperation, refusal to give into a rising despair but still shattering. -actually charlie just wandering through this entire narrative lost af. and finally, your timing of when you upload videos. Reeally. "Did we fail". On the eve of the server reset. After recent suspicious lines like "what do we do with failed experiments" and the 'corpse' models, and the prison interviews and just everything. talk about what ifs and stress. Just the whole thing is a beautiful example of 'hurt no comfort'. Left aching for any sign of hope, because you just really hammered home the hurt here. wow wow wow. one to save and share for certain. thank you for all of your hard work! you've made something amazing once again :D
Yessss all of this, Charlie wandering through the entire narrative is so interesting to me too cause everyone else has like, solid segments about them? But Charlie's is just scattered and confused throughout the entire animatic and I mean this in the most positive and cool way
This is a great scene-by-scene analysis of the video; I love your commentary regarding the pacing and the build-up as well as your comments on all the characters' lore and how it reflects in the animatic (there are things many people never noticed about some of the arcs, for example the fact that Q!Bad getting only Dapper back at the end of Purgatory would never lead him to celebrate - he was scared for all the eggs and wouldn't have been able to forgive himself if only Dapper had survived which is reflected in his pose in the animatic). Fantastic job! There's only one thing that I would disagree on: Although there might be no comfort in this gorgeous animatic... There is certainly comfort to be found in the island community. When it comes to their kids, the characters aren't alone, ever... It is second nature for them to protect all the eggs. They feel the hurt of the other players when their children get hurt. And when an enemy threatens the eggs or even dares to take their life, the rest of the island shares the grudge with the eggs' parents. That, of course, doesn't heal any of the wounds these incidents leave on their soul but... But they will have people by their side that ease their pain, help them get revenge and that will help them protect their kids in the future - and that's certainly worth something.
Plus the "DAPPER DAPPER YOU NEED TO CRAWL" cuz like... he was downed and in character he was in ssoooo much pain, you can hear the tear form everyone in this
But can we talk about the pain in their voices? That’s not acting that’s real. They all have such storing connections to these eggs. Its hard to watch when they die because if the pain
Fr it was so sad. I remember when he stayed up for hours writing why Dapper’s death shouldn’t count and didn’t calm down until they said it didn’t count. He was so upset.
Bagi in the animatic (and when it happened) is *literally* the definition of "Hell hath no fury like a mother scorned." (Follow up thought: so is Phil [except it's father]. While the others are more despairful, Bagi and Phil are *enraged*. The "GET OFF HER NOW!!" and "WHO KILLED HER!!" are pure parental **rage** at their kids getting hurt/killed.) (In the 1 to 2 years I've been watching Phil, I don't think I've *ever* heard him *that* mad before [when Tallulah was attacked]. Usually he's very calm and just shrug things off, but this time he was *pissed*. He even angrily cussed out the Code as it was leaving/left, which he never really does- again, its just not really his style.)
The Jaiden scream at the end literally has me in tears. Oh god - I'm crying over minecraft pixel eggs. I need so much therapy after this. This was beautiful. *sobs*
ALSO CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW WHEN FOOLISHED YELLED AT PHIL DO DO SOMETHING (1:00) PHIL HAD COMPLETELY FEWR AND GUILTNIN HIS EYES BECAUSE HE COULDNT EVEN SAVE HIS OWN KIDS AND GE FELT LIKE A FAILURE. I LOVE HOW YOU DRAW EXPRESSIONS LIKE YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE WHAT THERE FEELING. THWNKS 4 ANOTHER BANGER MAEPLE
The qsmp went from being an smp filled with parents taking care of their wholesome children and just doing crazy fun shenanigans to literally traumatizing stuff happening to them and their children……..really shows how much this smp is changing and it still is.
Bad's screaming always gets to me. He sounds so terrified and desperate. Bagi's scream sounds furious and devastated. Just. Its so impressive. Wonderful animation
This broke me. The true emotions in their voices, especially Bad who is usually so chill, made me so emotional. This had no right to make me cry as much as it did.
Oh…. Ow… I have never heard Bad sound so distraught, that was awful. I’ve seen/heard the other clips but putting them all together was a stroke of evil, angsty genius. Wonderful job (I’m going to go cry now lol)
That was brilliant and one of the most emotional animations I have ever watched. If this doesn’t get added to the next QSMP movie night, the admins don’t know what they’re missing.
"PHIL DO SOMETHING!!" the BUILDUP and EVERYTHING SDKJSHDKJAHSAKJSDAAAAA IM DESTROYED that hurt so much watching live and somehow hurt even more now?!?!?!?!
Foolish's little, "did we fail..?" really hits home because he is always the goofy one. When he gets serious, it serious, and when he gets sad, it's REALLY somber. Makes it feel so much more real :(
"qsmp is roleplay, the creators aren't actually upset" also the qsmp: first of all AMAZING ANIMATIC AS ALWAYS! it made me think of when people say that the cc's don't get attached to the eggs/are in character, but if this animatic shows one thing, it shows that the ccs are very much attached LOL like the desperation in their yells, you portrayed them so well and the editing with all the voices being merged together... yup yup perfection
qjaiden mention qjaiden mention qjaiden mention qjaiden mention qjaiden mention qjaiden mention qjaiden mention qjaiden mention qjaiden mention qjadien mention qjaiden mention qjaiden mention (but seriously THIS WAS SO GOOD ALSO HOLY SHIT THAT WAS ALOT OF ANGST !!
Foolish turning to Phil when the earthquake started happening felt so real. He was turning to his leader, begging the person who had led them to victory. Damn. Purgatory gave us all trauma, but at least we got this work of art ❤
I had to watch this at 0.25 speed to make sure I saw it correctly, but at 1:04 PHIL TRYING TO ACTUALLY RIP THE CODE OFF OF TALLULAH IS SUCH A GOOD TOUCH OMG Amazing job as always!!!
Foolish in general was a gut punch. Mans knows how to put real emotion into his acting, apparently, and I don’t watch him often and was NOT prepared for it lmao
Its amazing how QSMP made everyone feel so attached... made the integrants get too attached to their eggs that its like their own children actually... it makes me cry a lot... thanks for that feeling tho
behold. the shared trauma of the fanbase seriously tho this really drives home just how important these eggs are to both the fanbase and the ccs especially. i don’t think i saw a single shot in this where the ccs were acting. all of this was _real_ grief (evident in bbh, baghera, jaiden, & especially bagi’s reactions) and i think that proves just how much quackity studios has achieved with this server you captured the horror and hopelessness of these scenes perfectly. seriously you keep dropping straight bangers left and right
the blood, the despair in their voices, the "PHIL, DO SOMETHING" line when he could only stare powerless to do anything this is haunting, and painful, and absolutely beautiful a lot of things make me cry in this fandom, but the parents' despair does it like nothing else
wow, there’s just so much to say. My heart broke when foolish was screaming for Leo, and when he said “Phil do something!” As well as everyone screaming out of pure pain, this is so well done amazing job Maeple!!
Rewatching (No idea why I want to make myself cry again), but I just realized: 1:00 When Foolish cried out for Phil to do something. It reminds me of a kid desperate for their parent to help. God, that hurt to hear again. But well done, as always, MaepleTea
i feel bad for all the eggs but during purgatory, when we finally met the warden, or wtv the name of the one-eyed tall ahh man is, with everybody shouting - Tallulah's ears must've hurt because of how sensitive they are D:
Ah, the scream of parents as they grieve their children. Wonderful thing to listen to early in the morning /j ( ACTUALLY THO THIS IS INCREDIBLE YEE HAW)
holy shit- the part where bagi screams and cellbit shows off will be replaying in my head over and over again. you're such a great animator, i simply LOVE your videos. you can capture the feeling of the players' despair PERFECTLY, and i love a good angst ✨ keep up the great work!
My cinematic Trauma will forever be Foolish screaming for Leo, its just the fact that he is usually one of the chillest ones it just hurts my heart hearing scream that way
I’ve been behind on the Qsmp but hearing Babi scream “WHO KILLED EMPANADA!?” Made me freeze, I had no idea they lost a life in one of the streams, and hearing her actually scream in pain like a mother loosing their child it hurt… also the music matches PERFECTLY with this-
Damn, this was the most emotional QSMP animatic I've ever watched. Hearing all of their cries of mourning and/or desperate screams while switching to the eggs' close encounter to death or that death already found them. Amazing job, Maeple. This was done so incredibly well 🫶👏
I love that part were Phil is hacking into the code monster, you can hear the absolute pain and anger in his voice, but omg this whole animation and the sound is absolute perfection, it literally brought tears in my eyes.
NOOOOOOOO, THE EMOTIONS!!!!!!!!! WTF!?!!?! I'm crying now.... Edit: This makes me want to watch each and everyone of their perspectives from the BEGINNING
I can't hold in the tears when I hear each egg's name being called out in respective screams This hurts, especially for the ones who aren't coming back. 12/10 animation as always (Also Flippa being yelled the most by Charlie hurts, I've missed her since the beginning)
holy fucking shit thiis evoked so many emotions in me and thats DIFFICULT the screaming, the hopeless begging, the way it cuts and they mix and it speeds up and slows down i can't describe it how beautiful whilst simultaneously heart-breaking this is
I’m late but gonna explain the events that happened 1. Starting with Nightmare (Phil pov) The first part was before when they were getting into the boat I think, after it cuts to the monster’s eyes that killed them. From Chayanne unsure and panicked on the inside staring at the creature to Tallulah’s hand on the floor (causes she was in a bleeding state) it then shows Phil trying to help but after hugging both their dead bodies. Lives were both healed! 2. (I actually don’t know the context) but I assume on of the eggs was in a bleeding state which pac read from the chat (he says the name but I can’t hear it clearly so I assume it’s Ramón?) 3 Charlie’s misclick on Tilin. It shows Tilin’s dead body with the slash of Charlie’s sword. This cause Tilin’s permanent (2nd) death. 4. Mariana’s (2nd??) misclick on Flippa, this was when they were battling a dungeon and the same glitch that happened on tilin happened again to her. Causing her to lose her 3rd revived life, permanently dying 5. (I also have little context but) I think this was when Richas was in bleeding state due to a bull, Fit was rushing to try and save him but unfortunately couldn’t make it in time (lost 1st life) 6. THIS ONE. (Bagz pov) Phil, Pomme and (richas?) were hanging out at some area doing water bucket clutches, the code then came and attacked them with an op item, one shooting Phil and killing Pomme after her using up 5 totems. This life was healed which is why Pomme was the only egg to have 2 lives b4 purgatory ended. 7. (I don’t get it TT) fit just screamed “Ramón”. I honestly don’t remember exactly how Ramón died but i remember no one was online so I have no clue what this was a ref to lmao -continuation of 6 after Pomme ‘died’: bagz and Jaiden’s reactions 8. On Charlie’s birthday, a fake flippa had showed up otherwise known as code flippa. After they talked for a bit, code flippa had to leave and ran off and disappeared seemingly into nowhere. This was Charlie chasing her 9. (IDK I DIDNT WATCH JAIDEN LORE) jaiden shouts “Where if she”, assumingly talking about an egg: this must have been long ago so ,at be Tilin? As Tilin was the only egg that she was close to other than Bobby who used he/him pronouns [PLEASE TELL ME I MEED TO KNOW IF ITS ACTUALLY TILIN] -cuts back to 8 as she runs off 10. (Foolish pov) last day of purgatory when they found their eggs, foolish taps the glass, staring at his child, Leo, unsure of how to get them out. He screams their name “LEO” -cuts back to 8 again as she progressively gets further away or might have already disappeared honestly don’t know -cuts back to 10 Foolish tries back still unable to get Leo out of the glass ‘cage’ that looks like the one from the start in the adoption Center -cuts to Phil holding his hand out， as the background is still red, it should also be in purgatory, this action was a representation of Phil seeing chayanne -cuts to Bagi, Toby and Fit (blue soul fire members) looking for their or someone else’s eggs: richas, lullah’ and Ramón respectively -cuts to bagz, defeated at the fact she knows there is no way to get Pomme out. Pomme shows concern as she puts her hand on the glass, the same spot as when bagz left hand is -cuts to Etoiles pulling Cellbit away? Assuming he was trying to break the glass to save richas. For those who don’t understand the code parts of Etoiles skin, that is unrelated lore to this scene, you can find that individual lore on his VODs prob -cuts to little llulah’ covering her ears as all the rocks fall down during the earthquake, she sits there by herself as described during L O R E- only Charlie (who was trolling her) and Toby went to her first since Phil went to Chay -cuts back to 10 Foolish screaming “LEO” again, you can hear how helpless he felt as he screamed his lungs out. -cuts to Dapper and Bad hugging as dapper was the egg who was chosen to be let out by chance when Phil spun the wheel. Bad cries as this was prob when the earthquake was happening -cuts to Foolish screaming “NO” in denial that Leo was going to die, you can see Phil in the background, he faintly screams “Chayanne” for the same reason. Foolish reaches his hand out. ^-the hand interchanges between scene 10 and 8 or foolish and Charlie Continuation of 10/10.5 Foolish screams “PHIL DO SOMETHING” Phil stares in the distance in helplessness 11. ^from point above- Phil has flashbacks to the day that the code attacked Tallulah, which was also on Talkulah’s 2nd bday. He cuts through the code while crying as it seems to have no effect on it. Bad tells dapper to run away from the code. Tallulah screams in pain. -cuts to 3 where flippa is shown crying, disbelief that her father killed her best friend. Charlie feels the same way as flippa, disbelief, sadness and pain -(idk context) cuts to pac protecting Ramón from something? 12. (Phil individual lore) the book basically saws that he should go to some cords to redeem himself. (Context: this was during the period of time where the eggs were missing) the cords lead him to a bird house, he thinks that this was build by his kids and is excited to see them again, quickly going inside but -cuts to 3 AGAIN where Charlie asks what had happened in confusion and sadness -cuts back to 12. Phil looks around the bird house, confused at why Tallulah and Chay are no where to be seen, just some humming birds. He finds a chest with a book that reads “a cage for a cage” referencing the time that him, Toby and ‘don huevo’ (Fit’s disguise) lava casted the main fed office at spawn. Then (continued in next part) -cuts to 8 Charlie asks “JuanaFlippa where’d you go…?” Feeling as tho he failed cause he couldn’t catch flippa before she left -cuts back to 12 Phil begs Cucurucho to explain what was happening. Not shown but in the end, Cucurucho laughs at him. After a few days, he escapes to find Cucurucho sited down at some sort of tea party, he explains some stuff (GO WATCH IT) When Cucurucho was done, Phil woke up in his basement where he found the book seeming as tho it was all a dream- 13. (Bagi pov) The eye workers were killing Em, as Bagi was getting out her weapon form her backpack, Em was killed. The eye worker stares at her, as if it was taunting her -flashes between Bagi and Cellbit screaming their kids names, richas and Em respectively; -goes back to 13 we’re Bagi frustratedly slays the eye workers for killing her daughter OKAY THIS THREE PARTS Part 1- point 12, Phil begging Cucurucho to give back his kids Part 2- point 13 Bagi killing that eye worker who killed Em Part 3- Dapper’s nightmare, bad wasScreaming at Dapper to escape as he is in a bleeding state it flashes between all of these but you get the point I’m tired 14. Jaiden screams at the bench of her home, upset that she couldn’t get Bobby back. “What do I do?” Says while crying 15. “Did we fail?” Foolish says in a disappointed tone, assuming during/after purgatory as he has his shark fins, not being able to get his child back DID WE FAIL? omg im not sane for typing that, sorry I didn’t know all parts
This is a really good summary, but I just wanted to add a little. The 'Did we fail?' was after Ramon's nightmare death and no one was around. Foolish and Bad saw him go down in the chat. They ran to save him and were so close too, but they were too late by a few seconds and Ramon died. That's when he asked if they failed. Honestly, he was so quiet after that. As a regular foolish watcher it was clear he was upset, but they couldn't do anything.
@@horseymad19 thank you for helping explanation on the ending! Honestly I didn’t even think about that as it was so long ago from the progression of the story but I guess since it wasn’t chronological so anything could happened lmao
The part three was dappers nightmare, he was downed from a pillager and bad was also downed so he couldn't reach dapper with all the pillagers in front of dapper. That's why he's saying for dapper to crawl :v
The Valentine's Day event was so nice and then then they said they were watching a movie. Oh I hope it's another animation movie night. Sees MaepleTea in the corner. Oh.
OMG I just saw it and it's incredible, I still remember every moment that happened and my skin crawls, especially in the part of Foolish with Leo and Bad with Dapper. This animatic is incredible Maeple and I admire your work. I loved it from beginning to end. 🤍🙌🏻
I know nothing about QSMP and I got fucking CHILLS. Not only is your art incredible and not only did you perfectly caoture the absolutely chaotic feel of all those overlapping voices, but their SCREAMS. Holy shit.
I keep watching this and every time my reaction is the same- I start crying, marvel at how amazing it is, cry some more, and then bang my head on the desk wondering how grown adults playing Minecraft can make me cry 😂😭 amazing job 💕
Gods, all the screams are so gut-wrenching. These are parents witnessing their children dying, streamers who genuinely love the company of the eggs beyond RP, and all these months of friendship and found family being torn apart with two deaths-man! There’s some real grief in these clips and you’ve visualized them so well with amazing art. :D A wonderful animatic.
God. Every time I hear Foolish's scream for Leo it shakes me up a bit because you don't expect that kind of guttural scream from someone like Foolish. He's seen as the comic relief for intense emotional moments but when he actually goes in on a part he goes in hard...
THIS IS SO AMAZING I got legit shivers from this, what a beautiful show of all the painful, angsty deaths on the server! 10/10 as always, 5 stars beautiful work I'm in shambles

DANGIT YOU BROKE MY HEART AGAIN THIS IS SO GOOD HOLY CRAP I CANT I WANNA CRY THE ATTENTION TO DETAIL IS- AHHHHHHHH-
The parts with bad at the end were from a nightmare dapper and bad had, where dapper was downed, and bad couldn’t get inside to save him because of the mobs, so he kept yelling for dapper to “crawl to the entrance” so he could save him, even though dapper had like three seconds left and bad was about to get downed,
I AM BROKEN HERE, TOTALLY IN PIECES, DEVASTATED, CRYING, it was really good, good job ❤ The part where cellbit fades to bagi, phil screaming and bad at the end was my favorite part i think
