Do it For Him [ Technoblade and Ranboo | Dream SMP Animatic] 

all the budget went into that earring

I like to think that it’s implying how Techno is teaching Ranboo how to defend their loved ones who only have one life left. Phil for Techno and Tubbo for Ranboo

I agree with the statement of Techno and Phil just being bros who would murder others for each other

1:36 "When you live for someone, you're prepared to die." Techno shows his emerald earring, symbolizing his and Phil's friendship. While Ranboo shows his ring, symbolizing his and Tubbo's relationship. Both of them have someone they care for, someone they live for, someone they will die for. I think that that's a really nice detail

Techno singing "Its over isn't it" would ABSOLUTELY KILL ME

The the line "you weren't built for fighting" is very interesting. If you consider the headcanon that Techno is a piglin, piglins are normally aggressive. They are built for fighting. Where as with Ranboo, he's part enderman and they are normally passive mobs. They only attack when aggravated. Which leads perfectly into the next line, "but that doesn't mean you're not prepared to try". He's physically not built for fighting unless necessary. I just thought that was really cool

what’s kind of heartbreaking is that this song was used for an animatic (dif artist!!) for c!tommy and c!techno, and now it’s for c!ranboo and c!techno. oh how the time has passed, how the story has changed, how the characters have grown :]

Of course it’s not a Wolfy animatic without Emerald duo! Fuckin pog let’s go!

The songs “do it for him” and “it’s over isn’t it” are so good with Dream smp This is gonna be fire

"when you live for someone, you're prepared to die" somehow techno saying this to ranboo holds even more weight than techno saying this to tommy

I love this song being used with Techno, I’m sure this’ll be great

"When you live for someone, you're prepared to die." *fuck* that hits different now..

I was thinking about this song a lot. This is gonna be epic!

"Did......Phil made you feel like you were nothing?" "Ha......He makes me feel......like I am everything."

Techno: "Alright--" Me: *fucking dies* (P.S. I watched it during the premiere and I love it so muchhh💕😭💕💕)

it's heartwarming to see the way techno teaches ranboo how to protect himself and the people that he loves, the same way techno _does it_ for phil

A fandom isn't complete until it has a Do it For Him animatic, this is gonna be great

Once again blown away by another Wolfy animatic omg!! Legit on the edge of my seat!

“Real advantage” Ranboo: *carrying cakes and spawners?*

I have watched this for too many times already, I think I'm addicted The art? Beautiful Phil and Techno on the battlefield? Gorgeous The movements? Chef kiss The details of the emerald earring and ring? Fabulous And the way Techno smiles at Ranboo like a proud sensei? *On the floor rolling shaking and crying* In short this was just absolutely fantastic take my heart and all of my bones if you wish

one of the things that i noticed in this is the line "with my short existence, i can make a difference", because both techno and phil are way older than ranboo ( we don't know exactly how old , but it's safe to say they've lived a lot longer than a person usually would ) . ranboo's life so far compared to theirs is way shorter , and seeing as he doesn't have memories of before the dream smp as of right now , that time frame is even shorter . despite him not having his memories and having lived for such a short time compared to the people he's lived with , he wants to protect tubbo and michael with all he has . amazing work as always !!!

aH YES, Emerald duo being willing to do anything for eachother and Techno teaching Ranboo how to do the same for Tubbo and Michael I love friendships when they would straight up kill to protect eachother lol

YOU!!!!! YOU!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE THIS

AYO WTH THIS TRAINING SESSION IS SO PRECIOUS AGHAH i love how techno showed tiny bits of encouragement like small smiles and a pat on the head. Ranboo's expression as he looked at his ring. AND That transition to battle WAS FIRE OML

Say what you will but... C!Technoblade has a very soft and caring side, a side that surfaces when he's around people he trusts. While Techno's demeanor might still be rough sometimes, even when interacting with people he cares about, there's a part of him that's alert at all times, ready to go in and defend the friend in question. It's a reaction that you could observe when paying attention to his behavior around Tommy and later on Ranboo - Techno pretends that he isn't concerned and yet, when Tommy and Ranboo were threatened he immediatly made his presence known, clearly warning whoever was posing a danger to the boys. And honestly, if we were to compare Techno's protectiveness to the times other characters step in to defend a friend, it appears that other than say, Wilbur who needs people to follow him because otherwise he wouldn't be able to secure a powerful position, Techno couldn't possibly really gain anything from this, at least not in terms of power - he has no other motif for protecting his loved ones than his actual trust and affection. Quite frankly, he is probably the character whose care and concern for friends is one of the most pure and genuine; Especially considering the way he allows allies to "opt out", to stay home if they feel uncomfortable with any of his plans. Have you noticed how Techno always gives the people he likes the opportunity to stay out of or leave the battle? He told Philza that he did not have to support him in the Doomsday War, gave Tommy the chance to stay neutral and leave with him, let Ranboo flee unscathed despite being L'Manbergian; There's even a clause in the Syndicate's set of rules, stating that a member can simply choose to not join one of their exploits even if they decided on it together. He doesn't expect, and more importantly doesn't want people to die for him in battle, they mean more to him than just being assets - they're people, free people with a mind of their own, just like him. More importantly though... The people in question... They're his friends and he doesn't want to lose them. So when Techno trains Ranboo (and also Niki), you can assume that he doesn't simply do it to give the Syndicate an advantage in battle - he does it to keep its members, his friends, safe. Amazing animatic as always, Wolfy. You manage to portray a softer Technoblade than we usually get to see canonically, fulfilling his role as a mentor to Ranboo's character. I especially adore how you direct the viewer's attention to Techno's earring that represents one of the Friendship Emeralds and his friendship to Phil, while Ranboo is wearing his wedding ring that, of course, relates to his relationship with Tubbo. Both Techno and Ranboo are willing to fight for the people they love and seeing the two train together and bond over their care for their closest loved ones is just a wonderful thought! Great work!

i already knew techno was talking about phil... but that flashback Messed Me Up. hit me like a battering ram. im so soft for boreal boys... both peerpressure duo and emerald duo 🥺💗

i see so many cool artists in the comments rn yoo ALSO EXCITEMENT WOLFY ANIMATIC LET'S GOO

This was actually pretty wholesome. I love Ranboo and Techno’s dynamic and both of them thinking about the people they care about (Tubbo and Phil) as motivation is just so sweet.

I like to think the Her here is Kristin. By keeping his friend safe, he does Her that favor, but ultimately it is also for Him. As always, beautiful work. Your style is gorgeous and inspiring. I hope you have a lovely day

so...rewatching this after ranboo's death and it has a whole new meaning. ranboo really was prepared to die to protect his family. brb crying

THIS IS SO PERFECT THE FIGHTING THE LYRICS THE WAY TECHNO AND PHIL'S FRIENDSHIP IS DISPLAYED JUST AS TUBBO AND RANBOO'S IS I LOVE THISS

THIS IS AMAZING. I just love when the scene goes from training to Techno in battle.

The fact he starts out the sparring session with no hands is perfect.

Techno . We will miss you, last time I can say it so Blood for the blood god and of course Technoblade never dies we will remember you, Good bye

“do it for him” (implying that “him” is michael) has me sobbing pls wolfy edit: I JUST REALIZED THAT "HIM" ALSO APPLIES TO PHILZA AND NOW I'M SOBBING EVEN HARDER

Just me imagining Tommy from afar watching them and crumbled his apology letter for Techno and just leave- I really like C! Techno and C! Ranboo's dynamic but I hope C! Tommy and C! Techno make up and stuff. But the animatic is incredible btw! :D

What in the world?? Just like two weeks ago I talked to my sister about this song and how it would fit PERFECTLY for Techno and Ranboo. Im so exited for this :D

Techno's "do it for her" could be in reference to Kristin and protecting Phil :0 but i lov this sm and your ranboo design is so cute :DD

I’m coming back to this after the new lore stream and I’m gonna cry…..

I need to throw this out there, i adore the idea that the 'her' techno is mentioning is Mumza, like his entire song is about getting phil back to his wife because they're friends and that's what friends do and now i cry

Nothing like sipping a nice cup of coffee and watching premiere chat spam "CAW CAW" over and over

Techno being Pearl is so perfect, their loyalty to Rose (Phil) is unrivalled, both would lay their life and more for their safety and I love it

This was so good. I love Ranboo and Techno’s dynamic so much, and I love one of my favorite animators making an animatic for them! I loved the little detail of the person Techno fights for being Phil and the person Ranboo fights for being Tubbo, shown by him looking at his ring :’)

"You're crying from the peerpressure animatic?" The shared experiences of dehumanization and of love as gifts and acts of service handed out perhaps too freely even to the point of self devaluation got to me

This song fits so well with Techno's character, cant wait to see it !

damn.., this man did it for all of us to have some fun times and inspiration. Rest In Peace Techno :'‹

"when you live for someone, you're prepared to die" the fact that you show ranboo's ring at "you're prepared to die" hurts so bad because of recent events. i love this animatic sm, one of my favs. It's just the most wholesome thing ahhh peerpressureduo my beloved

I love how Techno is terrifying in battle

ALREADY LOVE THIS SM AND IT HASNT WVEN PREMIERED

Animatics that aged like a fine wine :'(

Technoblade: “Keep your body lower-“ Ranboo: “THIS IS AS LOW AS I CAN GO.”

Technoblade:I'm not gonna be a side character. I'm at least gonna be the cool sensei there- WAIT no but the sensei always dies nooo~

Another Wolfy animatic LETS GOO!, This is so cool, in the movements you can separate the characters for exaple c!Techno is more experienced with weapons, moves more stiffly and slowly, while c!Ranboo is a little clumsier but slowly learning, and the facial and body expressions are incredible as well, and the songs fits really well with !Techno, amazing work ^^!

My heart has spontaneously combusted, this is amazing! From Techno training Ranboo, to the meaning of the song matched with every little detail (the earring! the wedding ring! aaaaaaaah), and the transition between Techno singing to a flashback with him saving Phil's life, and your Ranboo design... Thank you for creating this and sharing it with us, I'll cherish it!

This man and sadist, if these two aren’t allies I’m killing the man who wrote life’s lore and plot line.

This animatic makes me miss the way DSMP used to make me feel

THE LEVEL OF HYPE IS BEYOND MATHEMATICAL CALCULATION

We miss you so much blade.

I like how there's a moment where the video focuses on Techno's earring which is a gift from Philza and Ranboo's ring which is like the marriage ring of him and Tubbo. So wholesome. Love it

My brain is just stuck in Passerine and all I'm thinking about is Techno as the general and he's training a promising kid(Ranboo) he found alive after a battle. Now that actually sounds like a good story plot- Aight time to start writing

Techno even says on the dream smp that he is like Ranboo's sensei and that if he dies Ranboo will become stronger then ever. Rest in piece king.

Rip techno I've watched and cried to this soo many times

" when you live for someone, you're prepared to die " Well. He did-

Technoblade the sensei, ranboo the main charecter, remember that? Sensei, the Hero!!

OH THIS IS SO GOOD WOLFY!!! They fit into this song so well tho!!! Techno lives for Phil and wants ranboo to have the skills to live for his own important person

Good for you Ranboo. Learning how to sword fight to protect tubbo is amazing

The sensei passes on

I pictured Achilles and Patroclus doing this instead. But I love the animation!! Good Job!!

"When you live for someone, you're prepared to die" Well, that hits different now...

I just want to say that some lines hit VERY diffrently now

OH I did not expect this to be a whole animatic, holy moly yES Also, Premiere POV: Lots of E's and caws, as it should be Now let's hope Phil in this isn't you know.. dead-

The vague glances between the Emerald earring and the ring when they said " when you live for someone." Has got me balling 😭🙏✨.

I'm actually crying, Your Ranboo design is so unique, the flashback was so cool, and just- AGH It's beautiful ;) 💜💙💜

this hits different now in another way

I like to think when he says "do it for her" its implying techno is teaching ranboo's to protect they syndicate members (Niki) then the and the "do it for him" is for tubbo as he only has one life left.

this hits VERY different after techno's most recent stream, still fantastic though.

I think it's awesome how Ranboo's taller than Techno but he's still getting schooled

What i like about this cover is that it sounds like a person teaching instead of singing, like it sounds like those could be their normal voice

YO- SU MEMORIES ARE COMING BACK THANK YOU WOLFY! I KNOW THIS WILL BE AN IMMACULATE ANIMATIC

MY HEART AHH-

“When you live for someone you’re prepared to die-“ that did not age well for Ranboo-

this is amazing! honestly the amount of detail you put in your animatics amazes me even now. honestly with this song their dynamic is really fitting, during this episode garnet explains how pearl threw herself in front of any danger in order to protect rose and honestly its rather fitting with emerald duo. techno is willing to risk everything to protect phil because phil only has one life left and has stayed with him the longest. great animatic my dude

AAAAAAA- OK OK MY EMERALDTWT HEART CANT TAKE THIS- I have a headcanon that despite being immortal, Techno has a fear of death/dying and thats where "Technoblade never dies" comes from and later it just became his thing, so when the line "When you live for someone, you're prepared to die" came, my stone-cold heart just melted and now it hurts help- (Also i got the second out of the three versions of "Do it for him" training arc animatics i want. Tommy & Techno, Ranboo and Techno and now im just waiting for Techno and FireBreathMan.)

I miss him already.

Goddamnit this hurts even more now

I absolutely adore your techno design, it's probably my favorite out of all those I've seen

This hurts after the Prisonbreak lore season finale. 😭💔 Still an amazing animation though.

Lovely job on the choreography. The flash to Techno and Phil amidst a battle was a great touch. In SU, both pairings (Rose+Pearl, Steven+Connie) have romantic implications, but here both are just platonic. The fact each pair matches in its media (tv show vs this animatic) works well. Wonderful work on the perspective shots as well. Great job!

This hits different after C!Ranboo’s death. 😭

you have no idea how much serotonin this gave me im so glad it exists op youre amazing 🖤

It’s sad to see that we have reached the point in the anime where the mentor has died and the protagonist must now carry on without them.

THE EMPHASIS ON THE EMERALD ON ON THE “when you live for someone” !! LOVE LOVE

Wow, this is actually really adorable and really fitting. Ya never disappoint Wolfy and as always I Stan your techno design

oh that ranboo voice was close, enough to insinuate "that's him" kudos to whoever did that

New headcanon: when Techno says “her” he’s talking about his sisters.

Your drawing style for technoblade is my favorite. It shows the elegance and technique in his fighting and his stature as someone who is not willing to back down. It also shows him like a royalty kingdoms knight which is pretty fitting for him as someone whose very loyal to his goals and his friends and would never betray them. (Also he has a crown on his skin royalty oh yeah!) The eyes being black and sharp also represents his dark side and how keen he is. It shows that he is the predator and how most are seen as prey and how although loyal and knights usually are good, that his dark side is the part of him that is most prominent. The fact that hes seen as a killer.

OOOOOOHHHHHHH MY GOD SOBBING RN !?????????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Or not even an army. Consider, if you will, just one very smart, very angry person, and they've got your brother." Re-reading Passerine and then seeing this animatic hit hard bro :') Perfect song choice as always, Wolfy

This is so good, the flashback to Techno and Philza fighting together makes me so happy and I don't know why, your design for Techno is amazing and I love it so much and the song choice is Y E S Though, I find Ranboo saying "Deep down,I know, that I'm only human" Because his whole thing is centered around not being human, but it's still just so Hajsjjsjdjdkdkkdmdmd

ALL THE DETAILS
